Chapter 184: Chapter 107: Bombarding Li Tian! Chen Chang’an’s Fury!_4
From within these provinces, devastating gazes promptly awakened from all around heaven and earth.
All of them fearfully stared at the Silent Death Sea, seeking to understand what had transpired.
However, this tokophobia was beyond their comprehension.
For a moment, people felt even more frantic.
Xuantian Sword Sect.
"This...?"
"Senior Brother, who has fallen, and whose Tao? How could it be so domineering?"
"Could it really be a Great Demon loose in the world?"
Above Sword Gate, two elders stood at the mountain summit. They were initially reminiscing about the past but their expression became solemn when they saw the terrifying celestial phenomenon at the distant horizon.
How many millennia had passed since the last Daoist Master had fallen?
The more solemn they became, the one standing slightly behind asked the one in front with bewilderment.
Hearing the inquiry from the one behind, the Daoist Master in front shook his head.
"I don’t know who has fallen."
Thereafter, he glanced at the Daoist Master behind him, then gazed into the horizon, and said with a complex expression:
"But junior brother, whose brutal intentions are lurking in there, can’t you really discern it?"
Who?
The junior brother was perplexed.
Seeing that the junior brother did not understand, the Daoist Master in the front continued to elaborate, word by word:
"A thousand Buddha Lands shine, gods and devils sway in the world."
"Who else could summon such a terrifying Tao, if not him?"
A thousand Buddha Lands shine, gods and devils sway in the world?
"Emperor Song?"
Hearing the words of the Daoist Master in front, the one behind was stunned for a moment.
"Indeed, it must be Emperor Song without a doubt." The Daoist Master in front nodded.
"A while ago, news had it that a genius from the Saint Realm was provoked and was going to challenge Emperor Song. It seems the battle has erupted.",
"But judging from the peculiarity of the sky, the odds are against him."
It’s more than just unfavorable odds. The celestial vision indicates a fallen hero, almost as if his fate has been sealed.
Seeing his junior brother, the Daoist Master spoke with relief:
"Sword Brother, you should feel fortunate that he didn’t have such murderous intent when you confronted him."
"Otherwise, even if I personally bring over the ’Sword Mandate’ from the Sword Ancestor, perhaps you wouldn’t be able to wake, even if the Sword Ancestor himself came over."
Sword Brother, Sword Heart.
The two Daoist Robe elders they were discussing were the very heads of the Xuantian Sword Sect, Elder Ancestor Sword Brother and Elder Ancestor Sword Heart from the Sword Pavilion.
Even though they belonged to different sects, they addressed each other as brothers because they had the same master during their earlier days of learning swordsmanship.
Elder Ancestor Sword Brother was the junior, whereas Elder Ancestor Sword Heart was the senior.
However, due to their different Tao chosen, they each went their own way ever since.
One chose the militaristic Xuantian Sword Sect as the "Dao of the War Sword", whereas the other chose the Sword Pavilion that focused on guarding the sword.
This past history was very ancient, so ancient that very few in this world knew about it except for the two of them.
But it couldn’t deny the relationship between the two.
"Indeed, maybe I wouldn’t have woken up." Hearing Elder Ancestor Sword Heart’s words, Elder Ancestor Sword Brother also looked at the horizon.
Looking at the terrifying scene that appeared there, his heart tightened again, followed by a flicker of fear.
He originally thought being knocked into a deep slumber by Emperor Song was the most humiliating experience of his life.
But seeing the bleak blood rain covering the sky now, he didn’t feel that way anymore.
On the contrary, all he felt was relief.
If Emperor Song had possessed such power back then, he wouldn’t have existed now.
Then, he looked at Elder Ancestor Sword Heart and said earnestly:
"Senior brother, I didn’t expect you to come to my rescue."
Hearing the words of Elder Ancestor Sword Brother, Elder Ancestor Sword Heart remained silent.
Once he became silent, Elder Ancestor Sword Brother fell silent, too.
The air on the mountain fell into silence.
Both of them suddenly went silent, time seemed to stop at this moment.
After who knows how long, Elder Ancestor Sword Heart finally looked at Elder Ancestor Sword Brother and said:
"Junior brother, do you still hate me?"
"Hate! Why wouldn’t I?"
Elder Ancestor Sword Heart didn’t say this, now he finally did, the eyes of Elder Ancestor Sword Brother suddenly became sharp.
Elder Ancestor Sword Brother looked at Elder Ancestor Sword Heart and lamented:
"Master entrusted junior sister to you, but you, for your so-called guarding the Dao, got her killed."
"You killed junior sister, how can I not hate you?"
"She was my dearest junior sister, do you know how much pain she endured before she died?"
"I hate you, I’ll hate you forever!"
"But hatred is just hatred, what’s the use of it?"
"Junior sister can’t come back, she really can’t come back!"
As he spoke, tears leaked from the corners of Elder Ancestor Sword Brother’s eyes.
It was hard to believe that people who had elevated their accomplishments to their realm, would also cry.
There are thousands of emotions in the world, but losing someone hurts the most.
Hearing Elder Ancestor Sword Brother’s words, Elder Ancestor Sword Heart fell silent.
His head bowed heavily, he looked over at the distant horizon, his gaze complex beyond measure, as if he were thinking about something.
"Sigh~"
"Junior brother, I will repay all of this, trust me."
In the end, he let out a long sigh, concluding their conversation.
....
"How... how can it be this powerful?"
"Senior brother, I must be a sinner of the Buddha!"
