Chapter 343: Chapter 343: The Ancient Ancestor of the Dwarf Clan
Several members of the Human Race broke into Qinghe City’s City Lord’s Mansion to rescue a Human girl, killing Hai An and a group of elite members of the Elf Clan. The news shook countless Sects and Families in Qinghe City.
“The Young City Lord of Qinghe City had his head crushed by a Human youth! They say there was blood everywhere, a sight too horrible to endure!”
“They slaughtered so many elite Elves just to save one Human girl, even killing the Young City Lord; he’s mad, utterly mad!”
One after another, influential figures from Sects and Families were enraged.
After Yang Xiaotian and his companions returned to Tieshan Village, Xiaotian continued to comprehend the Thousand Buddha Sword Path in the wooden house.
As Xiaotian was comprehending the Thousand Buddha Sword Path, and his eleventh Sword Heart grew increasingly solidified, Hai Ba and a group of masters stood above the ruins of Qinghe City’s City Lord’s Mansion.
Hai Ba looked at the corpses of the elite Elves, his eyes filled with terrifying murderous intent.
He walked over to his son’s body, looking at his son’s crushed head, and felt his heart spasming.
He remained silent.
Just like that, he stood there staring at his son’s body, doing his best to suppress the raging murderous intent in his heart.
His subordinates stood behind him in silence, no one daring to speak.
“He’s in Tieshan Village?” After a long while, Hai Ba finally spoke.
“Yes, my lord, the Human youth is in Tieshan Village,” a subordinate hurriedly stepped forward to report.
“Bring those few from Shi Family Village here,” Hai Ba said in a voice that sent chills down one’s spine.
Soon, Shi Sheng and several other masters from Shi Family Village were all brought before Hai Ba.
Shi Sheng, whose arms had already been ripped off by Yang Xiaotian, looked at Hai Ba with a face filled with terror: “City Lord, this has nothing to do with us; we never imagined this would happen.”
“We beg you to spare us, City Lord.”
However, before he could finish, Hai Ba thrust his left hand into his chest and forcefully dug out his heart. With a squeeze, he crushed it.
The other masters from Shi Family Village were so terrified that their hearts stopped.
Hai Ba’s expression was unreadable as he dug out and crushed each of their hearts.
“Mobilize all our forces to investigate! I want to know which family that despicable Human youth belongs to!”
“I will make him regret being born into this world!”
Hai Ba’s face was fierce, his appearance resembling that of a madman, his hands dripping with blood, like a demon from Hell.
Several days passed.
Yang Xiaotian spent all those days in the small woods cultivating the Thousand Buddha Sword Path and comprehending Thunderclap Nine Heavens.
That night.
While Yang Xiaotian was cultivating the Thousand Buddha Sword Path, his body suddenly radiated a burst of Nine-Colored Sword Qi.
Following the tenth beam of Nine-Colored Sword Aura, the eleventh beam burst forth.
Eleven beams of Nine-Colored Sword Aura converged together, illuminating the entire small woods, turning even the night sky into a palette of nine colors.
Feeling the power of Xiaotian’s eleven Sword Hearts, the three Iceflame Qilins were astonished.
“Eleven Sword Hearts!”
“The young master has condensed the eleventh Sword Heart!”
The three were overjoyed.
Nine Sword Hearts were already the stature of a Sword God.
Ten Sword Hearts were unparalleled through the ages!
Eleven Sword Hearts?
The only one in this world!
That’s right, the only one in this world.
As far as they knew, no one on the Azure God Continent had yet managed to condense eleven Sword Hearts.
At present, even the strongest Sword God had only ten Sword Hearts.
In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotian felt the power of the eleven Sword Hearts and suddenly thrust out with his sword.
Instantly, a Sword Qi shot through tree after tree, passing through the small forest and striking the mountain outside the forest.
Just now, his Sword Qi had clearly gone through the trunks of these trees, but the trees were completely unharmed.
However, a mountain in the far distance was directly pierced by the Sword Qi, blasting a sword hole dozens of meters in diameter that ran through the entire mountain, exiting out the other side.
“Congratulations, Young Master, on condensing eleven Sword Hearts. You are unrivaled through the ages!” The three from the Iceflame Qilin approached Yang Xiaotian, all saying excitedly.
Yang Xiaotian shook his hand with a smile, “It’s just eleven Sword Hearts, nowhere near being unrivaled through the ages.” He then added with a smile, “If I can condense fourteen Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, that would truly make me unrivaled through the ages.”
The three from the Iceflame Qilin were dumbstruck.
Fourteen?
They couldn’t imagine how invincible Yang Xiaotian would be if he really could condense fourteen Sword Hearts.
In fact, Yang Xiaotian wasn’t just boasting. If he could tame more Divine Swords, then he would soon have the hope of, like the Lord of Azure God in the past, condensing the fourteenth Sword Heart.
Now that he already had eleven Sword Hearts, if he could comprehend Thunderclap Nine Heavens and condense the twelfth Sword Heart, there would only be two more to go.
“I wonder if the Hundred Clan Empire possesses any Divine Swords,” Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.
Now, he was only two Divine Swords short of the hope to condense all fourteen Sword Hearts.
Later, Yang Xiaotian asked the three if they had heard of any Divine Swords in the Hundred Clan Empire.
The Azure Thunder Python pondered and then said, “It is said that an Ancient Ancestor of the Dwarf Clan once forged a Divine Sword called the Divine Sword of Everything. However, with the disappearance of that Ancient Ancestor, the whereabouts of the Divine Sword of Everything also became a mystery.”
“The Divine Sword of Everything,” Yang Xiaotian repeated the name, then asked, “What is the name of that Dwarf Clan Ancient Ancestor?”
“Named Man Lei,” said the Azure Thunder Python. “It seems like the Dwarf Clan has also been continuously searching for the whereabouts of the Ancient Ancestor Man Lei. If Young Master wants to find Man Lei, perhaps you could ask the Dwarf Clan; they should have some information about Man Lei.”
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
However, he couldn’t enter the Dwarf Clan territory at the moment and could only wait for Grandpa Tie Qiulan’s return.
Afterward, Yang Xiaotian learned from Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor that Hai Ba was investigating him these past few days and continually gathering experts from the Elf Clan.
Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor said respectfully, “Young Master, shall I go and crush his head now?”
Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “No need for now.”
If Hai Ba wanted to gather Elf Clan experts, then let him gather them. The more, the better.
Ten days blinked by.
During these ten days, Ya Xiaotian mainly practiced Thunderclap Nine Heavens and comprehended the Ancient Thunder God Sword Path.
Under the effect of the heavenly Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill, his cultivation level quickly rose to the second peak of the Emperor Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the third level of the Emperor Realm.
The New Year was approaching, and auspicious snow was fluttering down.
It was the end of another year.
As Yang Xiaotian was practicing his swordsmanship in the snow-covered courtyard, he saw Tie Qiulan running into the small forest with a face full of excitement, waving to Yang Xiaotian from afar, “Young Master Yang, my grandpa is back!”
Upon hearing that Grandpa Tie Qiulan was back, Yang Xiaotian stopped practicing his swordsmanship and was overjoyed. Grandpa Tie Qiulan had returned early, which was indeed great news.
