Chapter 1500: Chapter 1496: Unyielding (First Update)

“Master.” Wu Qi had already stepped forward.

“Not bad, your strength has improved very quickly.” Su Chen could see at a glance that Wu Qi’s strength had risen significantly compared to half a year ago.

“What about them?” Wu Qi pointed to Bai Mu and the other two, who were nearly paralyzed with fear not far away.

These three were truly pathetically weak in Su Chen’s eyes now.

So weak that Su Chen had previously overlooked them.

But, regardless, these three came with the same intention as Zheng Ci and others — to kill him. Moreover, they came from a subsidiary force of Jiucang Divine Pavilion, so he couldn’t let them go — he had to kill them.

A trace of killing intent flashed in Su Chen’s eyes.

Wu Qi caught this trace of killing intent and immediately said, “Master, leave these three to me. Once we enter Qing Jian Tomb, I will kill them one by one.”

“Confident you’ll handle it?” Su Chen looked at Wu Qi with growing appreciation; his Martial Dao Heart was truly resilient! Unlike Wu Qi, Bai Mu and the others were no weaker, yet Wu Qi aimed to kill all three, which set a high bar for himself.

“Yes.” Wu Qi nodded firmly, “These three have already had their Martial Dao Heart crushed by the Master, they’re no longer swordsmen, I will definitely kill them.”

Su Chen said no more. Since Wu Qi had made his decision, the opportunity naturally had to be given to him.

“Enter Qing Jian Tomb.” Su Chen lifted his gaze forward as the thick mist before them gradually dissipated, revealing hints of umber blue and light red hues, faintly suggesting burial mounds appearing close and distant.

Additionally, Su Chen could feel an exhilarating repression in his Sword Rhyme.

Looks like Qing Jian Tomb had truly descended.

In the next moment, Su Chen and Shen Yiyao disappeared, entering Qing Jian Tomb.

Wu Qi stared deeply at Bai Mu and the other two.

Bai Mu and the other two originally wanted to leave Qingjian Mountain immediately due to the danger!!! Su Chen can instantly kill Zheng Ci, Liu Kuo, and others just like squishing ants?

They’re terrified to death.

Eager to distance themselves from Su Chen.

Unfortunately, with the appearance of Qing Jian Tomb, Qingjian Mountain seemed sealed off; they couldn’t leave now. Only when Qing Jian Tomb closed and disappeared could Qingjian Mountain be open like a net with an exit.

Therefore, no matter how frightened or scared they were, they had to grit their teeth and persist.

“We…we will enter Qing Jian Tomb too. To survive, we must gain sword-fate encounters inside, significantly boosting our strength; otherwise, we’re doomed.” Bai Mu whispered, then the three also disappeared into Qing Jian Tomb.

Wu Qi followed them like a hunter; as they left, he followed.

The remaining throngs of swordsmen also gradually snapped out of the previous shock and started entering Qing Jian Tomb one by one.

“These burial mounds are quite special!” At this moment, Su Chen and Shen Yiyao were deep inside Qing Jian Tomb.

The entire Qing Jian Tomb resembled a large Chaotic Burial Mound, with soft fog, air-fuelled, Sword Qi writhing, and hints of poisonous miasma.

Su Chen and Shen Yiyao noticed burial mounds all around them.

These burial mounds varied greatly in form.

Some mounds stood meters high, made of White Jade Sword Brick, emitting a fierce and cold aura.

Some mounds took the shape of a sword, covered in ancient Black Stone slabs, exuding a sense of awe that made one want to bow down.

Others were perfectly cubical, entirely made of Purple Copper, covered with vivid and menacing patterns, resembling countless beasts guarding and spirits forming arrays.

Some mounds were just a sword, standing upright, impervious to evil, reaching the skies, guided by Sword Intent, connecting heaven and earth.

Some mounds were spherical, entirely transparent, resembling a Crystal Ball, made entirely from Sword Rhyme, unfading over countless years, yet the Sword Rhyme remained as sharp as meteorites, striking awe.

Others spanned three thousand meters, raging like roaring, turbulent rivers, creating illusions with Sword Intent screeching like fierce ghosts, making reality and illusion indistinguishable.

……..

So many burial mounds, each differ from the others.

Each possesses its unique Attributes, aura, and sword momentum.

Su Chen and Shen Yiyao gazed up, their eyes drifting across these sword mounds.

Su Chen felt admiration, awe, and respect, as each swordsman buried within these mounds was once a Sword Emperor when alive!!!

To be called an Emperor meant one was a rare talent, one in a billion, blessed by Sword Way Heaven’s Momentum, having created many miracles.

Though deceased, their Sword Intent remains intact, Sword Bones unbroken, and sword momentum eternal.

“If one were favored by a predecessor within a mound, obtaining his lifetime’s Sword Emperor Will Legacy, one’s path in swordsmanship could ascend rapidly.” Shen Yiyao sighed.

Unfortunately, despite having some talent in swordsmanship, she was not a true and pure swordsman; she’s unlikely to be favored by these Sword Emperor predecessors, nor could she receive the Sword Emperor Will Legacy.

To obtain a Sword Emperor Will Legacy, first, you must choose a mound whose sword momentum resembles your own, then meditate and comprehend beneath it, using your own sword momentum and intent to communicate with the Sword Emperor Will of the mound.

If successful, and you’re favored by the Sword Emperor’s Will, you might obtain the Will Legacy and soar skyward.

Even genuine, pure, absolute swordsmen rarely get chosen.

Her being half-hearted made it even less likely.

“Su Chen, why don’t you give it a try?” Shen Yiyao looked at Su Chen expectantly.

She felt that Su Chen could do it. Although Su Chen didn’t seem like a pure swordsman, she believed he was unique and might create miracles.

Before entering Qing Jian Tomb, she asked Su Chen if he had his eyes on obtaining the Sword Emperor Will Legacy, and at that time, Su Chen outright denied it.

But she was hopeful.

“No need. Yi Yao, you start practicing here. It’s beneficial to your understanding of swordsmanship, even without obtaining the Sword Emperor Will Legacy; it’s a rare gain.” Su Chen didn’t explain, smiling as he spoke.

He had his plans.

If everything turned out as he imagined, what he could gain from Qing Jian Tomb would surely surpass what a Sword Emperor Will Legacy could offer.

“Alright then.” Shen Yiyao was already eager, she nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, choosing a mound whose aura resembled hers, seeking to gain from it.
