CHAPTER 311: MIGHT OF HEAVENLY EMPEROR

" The Four Seasons Grand Swordsplay was a single scripture made by the Four Seasons Great Emperor. After that, to make the technique stronger yet comprehensible, he branched out techniques of each season."

" Among it, Desolate Winter Sword Art is almost par in terms of the power of Scorching Summer Sword Art."

" However, while the Scorching Summer Sword Art focuses on dominance and force, the Desolate Winter Sword Art is more about killing and absolution."

" The winter is cold, but a person’s heart can be even more colder. Harness that coldness, and the world shall freeze before you."

The scroll opened completely, fluttering around Long Ming like a cloak. He took off his sword hairpin, letting off his hair fall down over his shoulders.

" Sky Piercing Spear!"

" Crimson Overturning Slash!"

" Dominating Star Fist!"

One after another attacks stacked before Long Ming, covering the sky like a rain of mystical lights.

However, Long Ming remained composed, a slender apparition appeared behind Long Ming.

An aura like an ice fairy, gentle arms with perfect manicured fingers, her hair bellowed with an icy blizzard. Face sculpted from a millennium blue crystal ice, her looks alone can make a thousand mile cover in never ending snow.

" Allow me to borrow some powers of yours, Empress Winter Song." Long Ming grinned as he raised his hands.

" Frozen Flower Barrier!"

The air bellowed as the ice condensed into a giant snow flower before Long Ming. As it opened its petals, all the attacks hit it like rain droplets.

But like rain water falls on a flower and slides down, the attacks didn’t even make a dent in the snowflower.

The leader of the Dark Guards and his followers were aghast when they saw the looming figure on top of Long Ming. The piercing cold aura soared to the sky, freezing the land of hundred miles with sheer pressure.

" Tha-That’s..."

" The Blessed Imperial Treasure of Heavenl Empress Winter Song!"

The leader of the Dark Guards clenched his teeth as he slowly held his scythes.

" Everyone! Gather up some strength!" He shouted, even if his tone was trembling.

" He is a brat who isn’t even at the Harmonization Realm. How long do you think he can wield a Blesed Imperial Weapon?"

Hearing his words, others also came back to their sense. Even usitilizing an Innate Royal grade weapon to maximum is tough for the Harmonization Realm cultivator.

A Blessed Imperial Weapon not only required a solid cultivation base, but it also required resonance with the wielder. Otherwise, it will simply drain its user and kill them faster than their enemies.

Long Ming chuckled as he saw the Dark Guards spreading out. He simply raised his sword towards the sky.

" Great Domain of Endless Blizzard!"

The sword shone with a radiant blue gleam as the figure of Heavenly Empress Winter Song vanished, turning into a powerful, swirling aura around Long Ming.

Suddenly, the atmosphere dropped below freezing point and the soil started to turn white. The field of snow suddenly expanded, covering thirty li radius with a silver snow glow.

The Dark Guards were forced to slow as they couldn’t leave any farther, the blizzard blocking their path.

" You thought you could escape and try to blackmail using the escaping Four Seasons Valley disciples?" Long Ming’s hollow laughter rang out.

" Quite an interesting plan, I admit. Alas, I can see through this in a single glance."

" Desolate Winter Sword Art, Blizzard Severing!"

Long Ming’s sword burst with a cold sword intent as he slashed it towards the Dark Guards. The intent turned into arcs of swirling blizzard, deadly sharp and cold.

Before anyone could react, one of the Dark Guard’s bodies burst like fireworks, his blood mixing with the blizzard and falling on the ground like crimson snowfall.

" Motherfucker! You dare!?"

" What? It’s cheating to use healing medicines amidst fights, yes?" Long Ming spoke innocently.

" I am not a BOSS who gives my opponent a chance to drown in healing elixirs."

The leader of the Dark Guards clenched his fist as he raised his scythes. " We are the Dark Guards, the best within the Holy Qilin Empire! We will never bow down even if we are facing our death!"

" Soldiers! Activate the Dark Blood Star Formation!"

The remaining guards nodded as they took out pills and popped them in their mouths. Suddenly, a powerful aura surged from their bodies, making them grow three times their original size.

Long Ming could see that the longevity of the guards declining rapidly as their power increased. Each of them turned into a pillar of blood ray, trapping Long Ming within a formation.

" A futile effort. If a grasshopper, or say, a dozen of grasshoppers bared their fangs, can they stop a carriage?" Long Ming chuckled as he gripped his sword.

" But I am glad that you are at least putting in some effort. After all, I don’t get a chance to wield the power of a Heavenly Emperor every day."

" Arrogant bastard! You think you can win because you can wield a Blessed Imperial Weapon?"

The Dark Guard’s leader cursed as he rose to the sky, his scythes turning into two giant crescent moons.

" Let’s see how long you can stay arrogant for!"

" Dark Blood Star Formation! Earth Suppression!"

Suddenly, Long Ming felt a baleful aura falling like a mountain, creating a pressure field around him.

The energy gathered around the leader of the Dark Guards, making him look more frenzied.

" Moon Splitting Double Flash!"

" Desolate Winter Sword Art! Thousand Miles of Endless Snow!"

The blizzard swirled around Long Ming’s sword like a tidal wave as a noble and icy aura erupted from his body.

*BOOM! BOOOM!*

The fabric of space itself trembled as the techniques clashed against each other.

" HAHAHA! THAT’S IT! PUT A PROPER FIGHT!"

Long Ming’s maniac laughter felt even colder in the blizzard storm as his sword clashed against the scythes of Dark Guard’s leader.

Their bodies moved like flashing lightning amidst the snowy fields, creating devastating damage whenever their weapons clashed.

As the fight prolonged, the Dark Guards’ leader’s expression turned ugly. He could feel Long Ming’s swordsmanship was geting faster and more refined.

Not a stain of dust on his body, his figure moved like a crane as the snow bloomed around him. The icy depth of his eyes could make everyone shiver from the touch of death.

" WHY! WHY ARE YOU STILL FIGHTING! WHY HAVEN’T YOU EXHAUSTED!?"

Long Ming laughed loudly when he heard his opponent’s maddened scream. Not only he, but all his subordinates felt despair when they saw Long Ming slowly gaining the upper hand.

" You want to know?"

Long Ming suddenly vanished as he rose to the sky, his Raging Storm Wings unfurled like snowy lightning wings.

" Well, I don’t wanna tell~"

His sword flashed as a gigantic sword flower bloomed in the sky. Everyone felt like they have fallen into an icy pit when they looked at it.

No, they couldn’t even look at the sword flower made up of snow, as it made their eyes sting.

" Grand Dao of Sword...How could...he comprehend the Grand Dao of Sword and Grand Dao of Winter?"

Before the leader could gather his thoughts, all he saw was a brilliance of cold blue.

And then?
