Chapter 1612: Chapter 188 Sumeru Sword_4
Seeing the energy sword in Ah Dai’s hand, the three Sword Saints were all astonished. At their level, they naturally understood what such a large energy sword represented, it was power, absolute power.
Xi Wen could hardly contain the joy in his heart, his white hair moving without wind as he murmured, "Good, good, Ah Dai, you have finally achieved this. This is the realm of the gods! You have broken through the Sword Saint realm and become the first God of Sword on the continent."
Ah Dai’s left hand slowly joined his right hand, both hands simultaneously gripping his gigantic solid energy sword. The air around him seemed to be drawn in by the powerful energy sword, making it impossible for Goshawk to escape its attack range. He had no choice but to raise his Fire Nightmare Aura to the extreme, urging the Red Dragon Sword in his hand that stood firm, emitting a scorching aura. In the face of Ah Dai’s divine level power, he was already somewhat intimidated.
Ah Dai said in a deep voice, "Senior Goshawk, please accept my sword, the opening move of the Tian Gang Swordsmanship—Splitting Chop." Completely merging his spirit with the enormous energy sword in his hand, Ah Dai followed the sword, becoming one with it, and slashed towards Goshawk in front. The Golden Sword exuded an unparalleled powerful momentum, suppressing the Fire Nightmare Battle Aura on Goshawk’s Red Dragon Sword, causing it to tremble constantly. Anyone could clearly discern that Goshawk absolutely could not withstand Ah Dai’s sword. Goshawk’s eyes widened, his beard and hair bristled, as he firmly grasped the Red Dragon Sword and fiercely met the strike.
Ah Dai’s heart was incomparably calm, the situation completely under his control. At this moment, the image of the girl dying tragically flashed across his mind, and a trace of sinister killing intent emanated from him, the aura of the Grim Reaper. Just as this world-shattering sword was about to engulf Goshawk’s body and soul, four voices simultaneously rang out, "Show mercy." Among them, one sharp and urgent voice was particularly distinct. Ah Dai’s spirit quivered; he knew this cry came from the Four Skeletons, recalling the cold and sorrowful gaze of the Ice Skeleton when he left. Ah Dai sighed inwardly.
Boom—, a massive shockwave erupted suddenly from the center where Ah Dai and Goshawk clashed. Under the impact of the shockwave, even Yun Ying and Harry couldn’t help but step back. A human figure flashed by. Ah Dai gracefully landed ten meters behind Goshawk, the large energy sword in his hand still flickering with golden light in front of him. Goshawk’s Red Dragon Sword’s glow had dimmed, hanging softly in his hand. His elderly body trembled slightly, and the bright eyes that once shot light became extremely cloudy, as if aged decades in an instant, trembling slightly.
Although Xuan Yue was proficient in magic, she didn’t understand martial arts very well, and asked Xi Wen anxiously, "Uncle Master, is Ah Dai alright?"
Xi Wen stroked his beard and smiled, "When the strength gap between two people is too vast, victory is often determined in a very short time. Goshawk has already lost, completely lost."
A flash of red light, and Goshawk’s Red Dragon Sword was sheathed at his waist, the scorching air flow disappeared. He turned his body shakily and said to Ah Dai’s back, "The matter of Tiro will be put to rest from now on. I admit defeat." After speaking, he silently floated to Harry’s side, sat cross-legged on the ground without saying a word. He understood in his heart, if Ah Dai hadn’t shown mercy just now, he would have long turned into dust by now. Upon hearing the call from the Four Skeletons, Ah Dai completely retracted the golden glow of the energy sword, switching from attack to defense, and though he utterly neutralized Goshawk’s Fire Nightmare Aura, he didn’t harm him in the slightest.
Ah Dai slowly turned around, the joy of defeating the Northern Sword Saint made him extremely pleased inside. Facing the three Sword Saints, he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for letting me win."
Harry dispersed the Green Lotus Battle Aura protecting his body, smiled and said, "Looks like the few moves I recently developed won’t be used. Even Goshawk isn’t your match, I yield then, anyway I always lose each time, losing once more isn’t shameful. Ah Dai! You really bring pride to Brother Di Si. Until now I can’t understand how you trained, how can you possess such powerful strength at your age of twenty-something? Could it be that we old folks are all useless?"
Seeing Yun Ying and Harry with no intention to take action, Ah Dai retracted the giant solid energy sword into his body, sighed, and said, "The fact that I have today’s achievements is entirely thanks to my grandmaster’s grace. If it wasn’t for him, I would definitely not have reached the highest realm of True Qi in my life. Now, I have nothing to hide. The reason why my grandmaster passed away was entirely because he transferred all his power to me using the method of imparting skills by opening the top. His immense energy formed a second golden body in me, which I gradually absorbed through continuous practice. It was only today that I completely assimilated his power, finally reaching the level he hoped for."
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Goshawk suddenly opened his eyes, filled with shock, exchanging a glance with Harry and Yun Ying, he sighed deeply, "Boss is always the boss. No matter when, he always walks far ahead of us. He truly has great courage! Kid, you’re very lucky, do you know? The success rate of this top opening skill transfer method is less than thirty percent, and if it fails, not only would your grandmaster die, but you wouldn’t escape death either. No wonder, no wonder! I concede, I, Goshawk, concede. Di Si, wait for me in heaven, when I get there, I will surely ask to be your disciple."
Yun Ying smiled and said, "This can be said to be the quickest match between the four Sword Saints, I think we needn’t continue further. The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang remains the foremost among the four Sword Saints, just replacing the name Di Si with Ah Dai. Ah Dai, you don’t need to be overly modest. Indeed, Brother Di Si’s imparting his power to you had a significant impact, but without your own diligent practice, you still couldn’t have attained today’s achievements. We’re all old, after this all is the world of you youngsters."
Ah Dai took two steps back, fell to his knees before the three Sword Saints with a thud. Yun Ying and Harry couldn’t help but be stunned, while Goshawk frowned and said angrily, "Kid, are you trying to insult us?"
Harry stepped forward to help Ah Dai up, but was blocked outside by his thick Battle Aura, "Ah Dai, what are you doing?"
Ah Dai lowered his head and said, "Three seniors, I have a request, I hope you will agree."
Yun Ying walked to Harry’s side and said, "You first stand up, you’re ranked first among us four Sword Saints, no matter when, you must be aware of your identity, how can you kneel so casually?"
Ah Dai did not move, and sincerely said, "Let me finish speaking then I’ll naturally stand up. Senior Yun Ying, I am not kneeling for myself but for all of mankind. The continent is about to undergo drastic changes, the Church of the Dark Saint, composed of dark forces, intends to open the entrance to the Demon Realm. If they succeed, humanity on the continent will be plunged into extreme misery. For the continuation of our race, for survival, I implore you all to prioritize the greater good, and unite to assist the church in completely eliminating these dark forces."
Yun Ying nodded slightly and said, "I’ve heard Harry mention this once or twice, but he wasn’t clear. You get up first and explain to us in detail."
Seeing Yun Ying relent somewhat, and knowing Harry naturally supported him, Ah Dai stood up gracefully and explained everything about the Church of the Dark Saint and the Death Mountain Range.
After listening to Ah Dai’s narration, Yun Ying furrowed his brow tightly and said, "Decades removed from the affairs of the continent, I never realized the dark forces had advanced to such an extent. We are always human; it’s right for us to strive to protect our living space. Child, I promise you, after all I have lived over a hundred years, I will accompany you on a journey to the Death Mountain Range, and see how strong those undead creatures really are."
Ah Dai was overjoyed and respectfully said, "Thank you, Senior Yun Ying. Uncle Harry, how about you?"
Harry smiled and said, "Is that even a question? Didn’t I already agree? Oh, and there’s something happy I forgot to tell you. That time you sent Xiao Huan to me and now she and my eldest son are getting along very well! Maybe once we’ve completely eliminated the dark forces, they’ll get married."
Ah Dai’s whole body shook, as Xiao Huan was mentioned, he inevitably thought of the girl, nodded and said, "That’s best for her, thank you, Uncle Harry."
