Chapter 1034: Xiao Shen
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Several thousand meters away from Qing City, the 5,000 men from the Imperial Guards set up simple tents. With the Crown Princess’ Spatial Translocation ability, they did not have to bring along any logistic troops nor did they have to worry about food, clothes, and other daily necessities.
A luxurious palace appeared out of nowhere in the center of the military camp.
This had been created by the Crown Princess using her cultivation. Given her cultivation level, it was an easy feat to mold stones from soil. She could create tall buildings and other things easily, let alone just a small palace.
The Crown Princess lay sideways on the bed in the palace, propping up her head with one hand and appearing very lethargic.
She was covered in a thin layer of pink silk. The crucial parts of her body were covered up, but the rest—her arms, legs, and collarbone area—were exposed whenever a soft wind blew, causing the silk to flutter.
Her pupils kept on darting about, and her body trembled gently. This was her habit when she was fully focused on her thoughts.
Right now, what she was thinking about was the Infiltrating Void Sword that Fang Xingjian had imparted to her.
‘This set of sword technique is truly exceptional,’ the Crown Princess thought, ‘But it’s still not enough. Not only do I want to learn his sword arts but I also want to be able to break them and find a way to break the seal.’
The Crown Princess had never thought of giving up on breaking the seal and getting away from Fang Xingjian’s grasp. Thinking of what Fang Xingjian had done, her face flushed red with fury.
However, she knew that she must not rush. It was like how even though they were exchanging their martial arts, they would definitely not hand over their strongest techniques easily. She would still need to slowly probe and fight against him.
A swooshing sound rang out in the air. Then at the next moment, the ground seemed as if it had been sliced open by a sharp invisible blade, revealing several hundred streams of cross marks. It was the Infiltrating Void sword intents.
‘I’ve already completely grasped the Infiltrating Void Sword. Today should be the day when we trade our second technique?’
Just then, the Crown Princess raised her brows as she looked in the direction of the palace’s door.
A young man in white clothes was standing there without her knowing. The young man had slanted brows, bright eyes, and a complexion that was clear as jade. He seemed to have the disposition of a celestial being that had descended into the secular world.
He looked at the Crown Princess and smiled, “Miss Ma, the night is long and I’m unable to sleep. To think that you find it hard to sleep as well...?”
“You’re courting death.” The Crown Princess threw him a cold glance and sent Infiltrating Void sword intents gushing out. They slid along the space, slashing out toward the young man while neglecting all sorts of obstacles.
The sword intents had neither shadow nor form, neither shape nor state. Faced with this sword attack that was at the pinnacle of sword arts, the white-clothed young man let out a soft smile. It was as if he knew how strong the Crown Princess was and did not take on the attack forcibly. Instead, he swayed lightly like a shadow and then appeared next to the Crown Princess.
“Hmmm?” The Crown Princess was slightly taken by surprised. She had not expected that he would be able to sense the existence of the Infiltrating Void Sword and that he would even be capable of dodging this divine sword attack that transmitted through space.
However, she still did not take it to heart. She raised her brows and sent out cold sword intents circling toward the white-clothed young man.
“Haha, why does Sister Fairy have to harbor such enmity toward me? The moon is bright, and since we’re lonely and unable to sleep, why don’t we have a good chat and attain great harmony in life?”
The young man’s frivolous voice rang out next to the Crown Princess’s ears. At the next moment, Infiltrating Void sword intents trembled slightly and were all absorbed into the acupuncture points along the young man’s body.
At the sight of this scene, even the Crown Princess was taken by surprise. She stared at the white-clothed young man and asked, “What kind of martial arts is this?”
” Myriad Swords Return to Ancestry 1 ,” the young man laughed. Then he said, “I’m Xiao Shen. This time around, I’ve come rushing over to the Serene Region because I heard that a great beauty has appeared here. It’s really as they say—knowing a person by their reputation isn’t as good as meeting them in person. Sister is really like a fairy.”
Although the Crown Princess’ great mastery in martial arts was something that Xiao Shen had not come into contact with before in his lifetime, there was still a hint of pride and confidence in his eyes.
It was not just because he had already reached the Tiangang Realm despite his young age. Rather, it was also because he was a heaven-blessed cultivator—a person whom the Three Mountains Four Peaks had given their all to nurture into becoming the future leader of the righteous sects.
The Crown Princess’ eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at this young man who spoke flirtatiously. Killing intents seemed to gleam in her eyes.
Without saying another word, the Crown Princess made a move again. This time around, it was with an overwhelming aura.
Densely-packed Infiltrating Void sword intents slowly spread out from the area within 1,000 meters from Xiao Shen. Under the pressure of terrifying powers, a chaotic and distorted sight was presented within the entire space.
It had not been long since the Crown Princess acquired the Infiltrating Void Sword. Yet, under the sea of swords she had activated with pure brute force, even a tier six Divine level expert would probably have to make way for her attack to pass.
However, despite facing the myriad of sword intents, Xiao Shen let out a soft laugh.
“This attack is called Sword 23 2 .”
With Xiao Shen’s introduction, the Tiangang Qis and Disha Qis in his body gushed out fiercely. It was as if the heavens and earth had linked together.
At this moment, Xiao Shen seemed to have turned into a part of the world, and the entire world seemed to tremor slightly. At the next moment, space was sliced apart time and time again until they became a part of microparticles and could not be seen by the naked eye.
The drifting clouds in the sky condensed into a single stretch, and the country flag that was blown by the night wind seemed to have become frozen and unmoving.
Everyone in the Imperial Guards’ 5,000-man army discovered to their astonishment that they were unable to budge at all.
Even the Crown Princess could only stand there without moving as she looked at Xiao Shen in astonishment.
‘To think that the space that was connected together has been split apart?
‘How did he do that?
‘No, this isn’t his martial arts. He is just using his will to move this part of the world.’
The space was instantly split up into countless pieces. The connections between each piece were broken up temporarily. From the macroscopic view, the scene was like everything in the world had become motionless and unable to move.
Regardless of whether it was the moving clouds, the slight breeze, and essential Qis... Even the Crown Princess’ martial will had come to a stop as a result of Xiao Shen’s thoughts. All of them curled up within that smallest spatial fragments.
If one wished to move, they would have to use their strength to break through the spatial fragments. The Crown Princess could feel that she was not fighting against the young man who was in front of her but against the entire world instead.
Yet, so what even if she was fighting against the world?
After sensing the confinement applied onto her, the Crown Princess did not choose to give up. Instead, she chose the most intense method of retaliation.
Her thoughts had not been stopped, and her martial will was still under her control.
Terrifying powers kept on struggling within the Crown Princess’ body. Within each spatial fragments, her violent martial will was seething intensely, as if wanting to break out of the restrictions the world had applied onto her.
Seeming to sense the Crown Princess’ struggles, Xiao Shen slowly walked up to her and whispered next to her ears like he was whispering to his lover, “It’s useless. Sword 23 uses the heart sword to control the world and slice through space-time. Even if you’re ten times stronger, you won’t be able to break out from it.”
