Chapter 227: 226. Old Enemy
Translator: 549690339
Looking at the blood that dyed half the sky red, Sword Emperor Tao WangJi’s expression changed.
Shi Jing followed his master’s line of sight and looked over. He saw raging waves and torrential rain. It was as if a river had appeared between heaven and earth.
This river pressed down on the sea, causing the typhoon and tsunami to calm down.
A river that seemed to be made of blood.
The blood river flowed through the sky and arrived outside Jade Spoon Island in an instant.
The pillar of light that enveloped the surrounding area of the island collided fiercely with the ferocious blood river.
Sword Emperor Tao WangJi stared at the blood river.
The white-robed elder was no longer as calm as before. His sword will surged and his aura was earth-shattering.
One of the Three Sovereigns, who was once famous in the Divine Prefecture, finally showed his true glory at this moment.
However, the blood river was unusually domineering and evil. The light pillar surrounding the Haotian sword light kept squeezing.
Shi Jing could feel that the blood river also contained an extremely terrifying sword intent. It was extremely fierce and fierce, as if it wanted to slaughter all lives and wash the world with blood.
Si Huaifei carried Xie Xingmang on his back as he walked out of the cave and came to Tao WangJi and Shi Jing’s side.
“Master…” Without waiting for Si Huaifei to finish, Tao WangJi interrupted him, “Take Starlight and leave with the others.”
Si Huaifei and Shi Jing looked at each other, they could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
” That’s the Blood River, our nemesis. ” As Tao WangJi spoke, his body rose.
Seeing this, Si Huaifei and Shi Jing didn’t say anything. They quickly followed their master’s instructions and called Li Cheng and the others to leave Jade Spoon Island as soon as possible.
The people on the island looked at the blood river in astonishment.
If the Demon Empress had made a comeback, although everyone was terrified, they could at least understand.
However, the blood river in front of him was extremely unfamiliar.
Everyone thought about the past, but even the most knowledgeable person could not think of any ultimate art in the history of the Divine Lands that looked like this.
However, just because it was unfamiliar did not mean that it was not scary.
Everyone could feel the suffocating cold killing intent. The ferocious sword qi filled the world, suppressing the typhoon and tsunami. It was as if it could freeze the entire sea.
The unknown existence made everyone’s hearts tremble even more.
Sword Emperor Tao WangJi’s expression was serious.
In fact, this was the first time he was facing his current opponent.
Once, in his heart, this was also a legend like the South Chu Dynasty and the Twelve Nether Swords. It was just that he had heard his master mention it a few times.
But Tao WangJi clearly remembered that his master’s mood at that time was completely different from when he mentioned the Ancient Gods Clan, the South Chu Dynasty, or the Devil Buddha’s successor.
Blood River.
The old enemy of the successor of the Heavenly River lineage…
Although he had never been to the mortal world, although he had never been to his ancestors, although he had been separated from his teacher for decades.
But at this moment, Tao WangJi still regarded himself as the successor of the Heavenly River, and he faced the Blood River with great enthusiasm.
However, he did not lose his cool.
The Blood River Lineage had never appeared in the Divine Lands before. Why did they suddenly appear now?
How did it come about?
Through what channel?
Was the target the Divine Lands itself, or something else?
It would be ridiculous to say that he was here for a Sky River inheritor who had never truly joined a sect.
In a flash, Tao WangJi’s mind flashed.
The other party was not here for an old man like him. It was more likely that he was here for his disciple.
To be more precise, it was to understand the Starlight’s Absolute Sword!
With this thought, Tao WangJi became even more determined. His sword intent surged as he resisted the blood river that stretched across the horizon. He didn’t give his opponent an inch, not giving his opponent the slightest chance.
The Jade Spoon Island fell silent almost instantly after the battle.
On the distant sea, Chen Luoyang, who had already left on his dragon, stopped and turned his head.
He frowned as he looked at the Blood River that had suddenly attacked the Jade Spoon Island. He was also baffled.
Who was this monster that suddenly appeared?
Chen Luoyang narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. He watched as the blood river battled with Tao WangJi’s sword light that was like the sun.
At times, the blood dyed the vast sun red, and at other times, the sunlight illuminated the blood river.
He could feel that the power concept in the blood river seemed to be sword intent.
The sword intent was fierce and the sword path was profound. However, it seemed like this had never happened in the history of the Divine Lands.
In the Divine Lands, the only person who could compete with the Sword Emperor was the Great Empress Yan Mingkong.
This blood river that had suddenly appeared should have come from outside the Divine Lands.
Chen Luoyang recalled that Tao WangJi claimed to be from a sect related to the mortal world and had the name ‘Heavenly River’. From this aspect, it seemed to be the opposite of this blood river.
It seemed like the root of the problem was Tao WangJi’s sect, and the Red Dust World?
However, even though Tao WangJi was strong, he couldn’t be considered a direct disciple of the Heavenly River lineage. He might not even be considered an official disciple, right?
He was more like an in-name disciple.
He was able to achieve what he had today not only because of his master, but also because of his own hard work.
Although they had a deep relationship with the Heavenly River, they were not closely related.
Why did the Blood River Branch come to find trouble with him?
On the other hand, how could the Blood River, which had just arrived in the Divine Prefecture, find Tao WangJi so accurately?
Chen Luoyang was deep in thought.
The other party might not have come for Tao WangJi himself. It might even have been a coincidence that they had met such a Celestial River honorary disciple. It was completely unexpected.
The only thing that could attract them on Jade Spoon Island was the legendary Twelve Nether Swords.
Compared to the Heavenly River Descendant, who was extremely wary of this, the Blood River lineage seemed to have a completely different view.
When he thought of this, Chen Luoyang remembered his rusty bronze sword.
He sensed something and turned his gaze to the other side of the battlefield.
As expected, after sensing his gaze, a bloody light flashed in the void, and another majestic blood river appeared, crossing with the first one.
The second blood river didn’t participate in the siege of Tao WangJi’s Clear Sky Divine Sword. At the same time, it didn’t have any intention of attacking Chen Luoyang.
It quietly hovered in the sky as if it was guarding against Chen Luoyang and didn’t plan to enter the battle.
Previously, Chen Luoyang had wanted to see if Xie Xingmang’s sword intent could resonate with the rusty bronze sword, so he had deliberately relaxed the restriction.
Now that he wanted to suppress it, the sword intent of the rusty bronze sword could not be revealed for a moment.
After all, this short sword could not compare to Xie Xingmang, a living person.
It was much easier to control.
But very soon, Chen Luoyang saw a third blood river appear in the sky on the other side, engulfing the sea.
Although Sword Emperor Tao WangJi wanted to stop it, the other two blood rivers attacked together and blocked the Haotian sword light.
Chen Luoyang frowned inwardly.
He and Tao WangJi were enemies, not friends. He was happy to have someone willing to help him get rid of this enemy.
However, if the other party’s goal was the Twelve Nether Swords, then he might also be targeted by the Blood River because of this rusty bronze sword.
Trouble wouldn’t really disappear just because he ignored it.
It was like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
Whether or not he helped Tao WangJi and his disciple was another matter. Even if he went up to them now and killed their mouths so that they wouldn’t be able to reveal the secret that he might also possess the 12 Nether Swords, it was still better than watching from the sidelines.
As he thought of this, the light in Chen Luoyang’s eyes turned from black to dark gold.
He had to make a move. At this moment, he was weighing which side to help.
Just as the three blood rivers besieged the Haotian sword light, the wind and rain in the sky suddenly disappeared.
A silver river seemed to descend from the sky, shining with the radiance of Tao WangJi’s Hao Tian sword.
The attacks of the three blood rivers were immediately stopped.
However, they did not give up and continued to fight.
Chen Luoyang was just about to take a step forward when he suddenly stopped. He looked at the sword light that was like a galaxy and fell into deep thought.
This should be the so-called Heavenly River lineage.
Strictly speaking, he was from the same sect as Sword Emperor Tao WangJi.
The Sword Pavilion of the Divine Lands was founded by Tao WangJi, and there were only a few of them. There were only a few of them and a few servants.
The core orthodoxy of the inheritance was the legendary Heavenly Sword Book.
Tao WangJi didn’t directly pass his Clear Sky Divine Sword to his five disciples.
It was unclear whether it was because he did not want to or because the Clear Sky Divine Sword was special and he was powerless.
In short, his disciples had all comprehended the Heavenly Sword Book under his guidance. They had each formed their own chapters and formed their own sects.
For example, Si Huaifei’s Zhongtian Righteous Sword, Xiang Ping’s Formless Illusion Sword, Nie Hua’s Startling Flying Sword, Jie Xingmang’s Seamless Sword, and Shi Jing’s Enlightening Heart Sword.
All of these, together with Tao WangJi’s own Clear Sky Divine Sword, originated from the Heavenly Sword Book.
This absolute art could be said to be all-encompassing.
And the Heavenly River before him was probably from the Heavenly Sword Book as well.
It was just that this lineage was named after the Heavenly River. The sword intent before him was truly perfect, so much so that it gave off a more orthodox feeling.
However, this wasn’t the problem that Chen Luoyang was most concerned about.
What he wanted to know the most now was where did these rivers of blood and celestial rivers suddenly appear from?
Tao WangJi had mentioned that his master came from the Eastern Sea, which meant that there was a high possibility that there was a place in the deep sea that was connected to the mortal world.
However, no one had come for so many years. Why was it special today?
Was it purely because of the Twelve Nether Swords?
Unexpectedly, Chen Luoyang suddenly recalled that when the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, Empress Yan Mingkong had been swept away by a blood light while chasing after Xia Emperor Li Yuanlong. She had disappeared from the Divine Prefecture and only reappeared a few days later.
Could it be that the woman was the cause of the incident?
Chen Luoyang frowned as he looked at the battlefield between the two sides. It was gradually shifting toward the vast ocean.
He immediately tapped on the dragon’s head. The dragon turned around and flew over.
Chen Luoyang was patiently observing the battle ahead.
Just like that, they chased and fought all the way. Soon, both sides left the continent and arrived at the deep sea.
With such a long distance, even if a tsunami or typhoon wanted to affect the land, it would not be able to do so on the same day.
Chen Luoyang observed the battle between the two parties until he saw an abnormal scene on the distant sea.
There, a blood-red pillar of light shot straight into the sky.
From the looks of it, it was indeed similar to the light beam that had swept Yan Mingkong away.
However, at this moment, the pillar of light was wrapped in white lines, causing the blood-red pillar of light to continuously distort.
Both sides were eventually swept away by the blood-red pillar of light that was wrapped in white lines.
Chen Luoyang stopped and pondered whether he should chase after them to see what the mortal world looked like. However, he wasn’t confident.
However, he did not have to worry about it very soon.
On the main road, the Demon Cult had contacted him, hoping that he, the Cult
Master, would return urgently.
An uninvited guest arrived at Ancient God Peak. He claimed to be in charge of teaching people..
