Chapter 306: Chapter 206: To be honest, I am very disappointed (3rd update)
Shang Tianhe snorted coldly, “Your Sword Dao is indeed not bad, but how can it compare to the unparalleled Sword Dao that I have painstakingly honed over so many years!”
As he spoke, Shang Tianhe slowly drew his sword.
Moon-white Sword Qi surged wildly, illuminating the entire trial space as if it were the Moon Palace itself!
Xue An’s expression was neither sad nor happy, as he simply watched quietly.
“Tianhe… Sword Heart!” Shang Tianhe saw this and couldn’t help but roar, as a dazzling sword light slashed down from the heavens with absolute resolve.
The entire stage, even the whole trial space, was directly cleaved in half by this sword.
The crowd watching from outside only saw a sword Qi shooting up into the sky.
Shang Yuchen, who was originally somewhat nervous, relaxed and laughed proudly, “It’s my son Tianhe’s Sword Intent! Now, my son is sure to win!”
He was completely confident in this.
And many people, after hearing his words, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Regardless of anything else, as long as they could defeat that man, that would be good!
Only Bian Qingmu and Zhu Ruyan, among others, showed dramatic changes in their expressions.
In the trial field, with the stage engulfed by the sword light, it was impossible to see the situation inside for a moment.
But Shang Tianhe was certain, he had won!
There was no way anyone could withstand his sword without dodging or evading!
Moreover, Shang Tianhe felt that his sword had made significant progress just now.
This filled his heart with joy and pride.
But his joy was quickly shattered by a voice.
“Honestly, I am very disappointed!”
With that, the sword light rapidly dissipated, and Xue An appeared in the center of the field, still standing with his hands behind his back, his expression still indifferent.
“How is this possible!” Shang Tianhe said in shock, his face filled with horror.
Xue An shook his head, “With your Sword Dao, you dare to call yourself unparalleled? In the secular world, I once met a Sword Cultivator whose Cultivation Level was inferior to yours, but his Sword Dao was stronger than yours!”
The Sword Cultivator Xue An was referring to was Lingnan’s Sword Immortal Yu Yuanyi.
Although Xue An said that he had also made mistakes in Sword Dao, he had nonetheless touched the edge of the Dao in the secular world, which was quite an achievement.
And this Shang Tianhe, who had grown up in the Immortal Realm of Kunlun since childhood, with conditions for cultivation a hundred times better than the secular world, ended up only chasing external forces, which to Xue An, was naturally rubbish.
Shang Tianhe’s face turned ashen, “Stop your nonsense, I don’t believe your Sword Dao is better than my master’s! Take this!”
Having said that, Shang Tianhe lifted his sword again, ready to strike.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Your master? Hehe, I once made all the immortals of The Multiverse Realm bow their heads to me. What is he in comparison?”
Shang Tianhe’s face paled; he felt an extremely terrifying Sword Intent.
But he still gritted his teeth and concentrated all his Cultivation Level into the Tianhe Sword, thrusting fiercely!
“Die!” Shang Tianhe roared.
Boom!
The Tianhe Sword Intent surged like a raging river, heading straight for Xue An.
Xue An stood proudly, making no move.
Then Shang Tianhe witnessed a scene that almost shattered his innards.
He saw his own Tianhe Sword Intent come to a halt before reaching Xue An, then, like subjects before an emperor, bow in submission before dissipating.
Shang Tianhe’s face turned white as he muttered, “No… impossible, how could this…”
Xue An said calmly, “I told you, no matter how hard you train, your Sword Dao is still rubbish, because… you have no talent for it!”
These words dealt a nearly fatal blow to Shang Tianhe!
Always called a Sword Dao genius by the people around since childhood, he now suddenly had someone tell him he had no talent!
This huge disparity nearly made Shang Tianhe vomit blood.
“You’re talking nonsense! If I have no talent for Sword Dao, then who in the world does?” Shang Tianhe was almost hysterical.
Xue An took a step forward, “Since you don’t believe it, today I will show you what a true Immortal Sword is!”
With Xue An’s words, streaks of sword light gradually emerged before him, then combined into a white Giant Sword!
“Watch my sword…cut through the heavens!”
As the words fell, Xue An lightly grasped the hilt and swung fiercely.
A heaven-shaking Sword Intent surged to the skies in an instant, and the trial light screen above only held for a few breaths before it shattered with a loud bang.
Onlookers outside cried out in utter shock, “What’s happened!”
No sooner had they spoken than a sword light came crashing down, cleaving Jizhou City in two.
This was also the mightiest sword Xue An had wielded since reaching the Half-step Longevity stage.
Dust rose in all directions, and the entire Jizhou City trembled under this sword.
As for the others, they all stared in stunned silence.
This sword had surpassed their understanding.
Shang Yuchen suddenly turned pale, “Tianhe… How is he?”
This was also of concern to many, so they turned to look as well.
They saw that the trial ground was completely destroyed, and as the dust gradually cleared, only two people were standing in the center.
One of them was Shang Tianhe.
Seeing his son unharmed, Shang Yuchen couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
But immediately after, his heart seized up again.
Shang Tianhe slowly said, “It turns out, I was really wrong!”
Having said that, Shang Tianhe turned and walked out.
Shang Yuchen quickly went to meet him, but before he had taken but a few steps.
Shang Tianhe suddenly knelt to the ground with a thud, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth.
“Tianhe!” exclaimed Shang Yuchen.
Shang Tianhe gently shook his head at his father, “Father, your son has failed you. My heart of the sword is destroyed, and I cannot serve you into your old age. I only ask that after my death, you hold no grudge against me!”
Shang Yuchen shook uncontrollably.
Shang Tianhe nodded at Xue An, “Thank you!”
After speaking, Shang Tianhe collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Xue An watched silently.
This Shang Tianhe, who had until just now been dissatisfied, had tried to withstand the sword with his heart of the sword, only to die with it shattered to pieces!
No one else was to blame!
Thinking this, Xue An shook his head and stepped forward to leave.
That very moment, Shang Yuchen’s eyes were bloodshot, “Give back my son’s life!”
With that, he charged forward.
Without turning his head, Xue An flicked his wrist and Shang Yuchen was sent flying back even faster.
“In consideration of your son, I will not kill you this time, but I hope you won’t test my limited patience again!” said Xue An indifferently, striding away.
Shang Yuchen stared blankly at the receding figure of Xue An, quivering all over.
And the entire crowd watched this scene with unspeakable fear.
From entering the trial grounds to now, merely an hour had passed, yet countless were dead or injured.
Even the highly esteemed eldest son of the Shang Family had met with defeat and death.
Just how terrifying was this man?
Only Zhu Ruyan’s eyes brimmed with excited tears!
The stronger Xue An became, the greater her hope for revenge.
“My lord….”
Xue An nodded, then said, “There are still some matters to attend to, then I’ll head to Kunlun City!”
With that, Xue An leapt into the air and disappeared into the horizon.
