Chen Zhangtian’s large hand waved, filling the sky and empty space with an enormous number of sword-lights. Sword-shadow after black sword-shadow covered the heavens and earth, and the smoke curling around Circle Hill was immediately dispersed, turning the world dark.
The black sword-shadows formed an enormous vortex in the air. The powerful sword-qi made the surrounding several dozen li plunge into this pressure, and the swirling sword-lights formed a power that was surprisingly like the firmaments.
Everyone raised their heads to stare fixedly at this sword-chant.
“This is Chen Zhangtian’s ‘Heaven Lifeless Sword Chant!!'”1 The Northern Darkness Sword Sect’s master, Northern Darkness Blue Wave, showed astonishment upon seeing this sword array. The Great CHong Dynasty’s Two Lords were both formidable Human Sovereigns, such that even the true Tang Emperor did not have such a high cultivation. The sword chants the Two Lords trained were always the subject of much prying by all cultivators.
Jiang Ruxiu’s “Misty Rain Sword Chant” was known as the Tail Fire Star Field’s most graceful sword chant. Not only did his daughter, Jiang Yanyu, perfectly carry on this point, she even took it further. On the other hand, Chen Zhangtian’s “Heaven Lifeless Sword Chant” was seen by very few people. Reportedly, cultivating this sword chant required the “Zhangtian Seal” to be cultivated to its highest level. Among Chang’an Mansion’s heirs, none had truly succeeded it.
Rumor had it that the Heaven Lifeless Sword Chant was a kind that “defied Heaven.” Reportedly, once the sword chant was used, even the heavens could not avoid it.
To see it today, the Great Sword Sects’ best Greater Thunder Tribulation cultivators trembled in fear.
Human Sovereign Chen Zhangtian’s reputation was well deserved indeed.
“Father, will our Sword Sect stand with Chang’an Mansion?” Northern Darkness Has Snow bit her lip.
Northern Darkness Blue Wave glared at her and lowered his voice: “Do not cause trouble. How can the Human Sovereign prove a match for Huan Wen. Has Snow, your behavior the past few days has honestly been too strange.”
Northern Darkness Has Snow touched that magnificent weapon of hers, “The Great Chong Dynasty’s imperial family is so condescending and arrogant. If they destroy Chen Zhangtian today, our Four Great Sword Sects will follow sooner or later. These are interlinked. Why not seize the opportunity to join forces.”
Northern Darkness Blue Wave was silent. He was not unaware of this logic, but he did not dare even think about becoming enemies with Huan Wen.
“Do not raise this issue any further. I think Emperor Tang should have his own morals.”
Furthermore, after Chen Zhangtian used the Heaven Lifeless Sword Chant, everyone stopped all at once. The skies changed color and were obscured by sword-light. “Human Sovereign, you had best be able to last a while longer.” Huan Wen raised her spear and attacked.
Her legs stamped over the ground. With her unending Earthly Fiend Star Energy, she was practically unstoppable.
Silver spear-light approached.
Chen Zhangtian did not dare let a Star General close the distance on him. He controlled his sword chant to activate a sword array. The sky suddenly glowed with bright light, and the omnipresent Flying Swords surged forth, descending upon Huan Wen.
A Human Sovereign’s magic energy was limitless, and the power of his sword chant was unparalleled. However, Huan Wen was not in the least concerned. The Heaven Lifeless Swords that landed on her were knocked aside by silver light. She cut through it like a storm, such that it was difficult to stop even a single one of Huan Wen’s steps.
Chen Zhangtian curled his finger.
The sword chant assumed a formation, becoming an enormous beast to restrain Huan Wen. Wave after wave of sword-shadows filled her surroundings, forming a sword array that would leave anyone hopeless.
Huan Wen finally felt a bit of pressure. An even more excited grin bloomed on the girl’s face.
The Cold Night Locked Moon Spear stabbed, and silver-light burst forth.
The sword array collapsed with a rumbling.
Chen Zhangtian had already anticipated this. He unleashed a second attack, slashing with a “Cloudy Firmaments True Thunder” refined from the Five Elements.
Thundering like a dragon, its enormity was unrivalled.
Powerful thunder rolled, ear-splitting. Cultivators who were not at Third Layer Greater THunder Tribulation directly bled from their ears.
“What incredible magic energy, as expected of a Human Sovereign!”
Everyone was secretly astonished. They believed there was no way to ward off this Five Elements strike.
Sky True Thunder struck Huan Wen’s spear, and the girl was blown back. Chen Zhangtian’s fingers continuously unleashed the Sky True Thunder, bolt after bolt of True Thunder blasting her body.
Huan Wen roared, and following a swift leap, she soared like a bird.
She fell for it!
Chen Zhangtian had been waiting for precisely this chance. His strongest ability, the Zhangtian Seal, was unleashed. A giant palm grabbed the heavens, striking Huan Wen.
In a flash, the blue sky seemed to be gripped in Chen Zhangtian’s hand. Huan Wen’s body stalled and halted in midair.
The Heaven Lifeless Flying Swords assumed formation once again, and a thick black sword-light slashed at Huan Wen.
“Father Emperor!!” Below the throne, Crown Prince Tang Feng was aghast to see Huan Wen was surprisingly restrained by Chen Zhangtian. He wanted to plead with his father to order people to intercept and kill Chen Zhangtian.
Emperor Tang’s bearing was leisurely. He picked up the bright nine dragons golden cup and drank.
“Watch quietly. If you meddle with a Star General’s battle, you will be dooming yourself.” Emperor Tang had absolute faith in Huan Wen. It was absolutely impossible for a Human Sovereign to contend against the Yellow Court Realm Star General.
He was also very aware of Huan Wen’s proud and arrogant nature. She would feel extremely humiliated if anyone went to help her at this time. They would not even have realize how they had died.
“Chen Zhangtian, today is your final day. You can only blame your Chang’an Mansion’s bloodline for all being men among dragons. You have caused Us great unease.” Emperor Tang had a fleeting moment of indignation, but when he thought about Chang’an Mansion’s Chen Mo who was dead set on suppressing the imperial family and recalled that each of Chang’an Mansion’s four children were all outstanding, he was jealous.
Just as expected.
Chen Zhangtian’s succession of tricks made the spectators exclaim in astonishment.
When the Flying Swords slashed Huan Wen, everyone was incredulous.
Chen Zhangtian’s expression changed.
The black sword-light dispersed. Huan Wen’s speartip blocked a Flying Sword. Four stars shimmered on her weapon, and enormous Star Energy easily crushed the Human Sovereign’s magic energy. “This is your Zhangtian Seal? Hmph, indeed it was somewhat of a pleasant surprise for This Highness.”
Huan Wen mockingly said.
Not good.
Chen Zhangtian’s pupils contracted, and he leapt backwards.
Just at the moment he retreated, the white-armored girl already appeared where he was standing. The degree of her speed was like a white steed flitting by. Even the Human Sovereign was unable to track her.
Blood flowed from Chen Zhangtian’s chest. Chen Zhangtian’s expression was grim; his protective magic energy had been run through.
Huan Wen looked at the blood on the Cold Night Spear. She shook it, flinging the blood away.
This Human Sovereign was formidable, as expected. Although her attack just now was not a Heaven, Earth, Dark, or Yellow, it contained powerful Star Energy, yet it barely pricked into his flesh.
“Looks like This Highness will be unable to kill you without using a Heaven, Earth, Dark, or Yellow.” Huan Wen joked.
“Father!!”
Chen Lin and Chen Luan were about to rush into the field. Their father was hard-pressed. As his children, how could they stand by and watch.
“Stay back!!”
Chen Zhangtian thrust out his palm, sending them tumbling back to their seats.
“This is a grudge between Huan Wen and I. No one from Chang’an Mansion is to interfere, otherwise, I will kill them myself.” Chen Zhangtian spat out each word with steely strength.
“Father.” Chen Luan’s eyes were red.
“Princess, Your Highness, please reconsider.” Chang’an Mansion’s stewards hastily held Chen Luan and Chen Lin back. They were very aware of Chen Zhangtian’s personality. Furthermore, the battle of a Star General was not something two children could go interfere in. This would instead distract Chen Zhangtian.
Huan Wen apathetically glanced at the noisy Chang’an Mansion. She sneered: “If you can injure This Highness, then This Highness shall give you a guarantee. This Highness will let your children go after your death.” Huan Wen had no interest at all in some children who were still wet behind the ears. They did not strike fear into her like Chen Mo did.
“Many thanks to Your Highness Huan Wen for the favor.” Chen Zhangtian cupped his fist.
Seeing Chen Zhangtian was so soft, Jiang Ruxiu sighed, his heart somewhat sorrowful.
They were esteemed as the Great Chong Dynasty’s Human Sovereigns, able to stand on the same level as the emperor, but what did that matter?
In the end, life and death was nothing more than a thought in the eyes of a Star General.
Even “Conceals Heaven With His Hand” Chen Zhangtian could only act as a clown for Huan Wen’s entertainment in order to guarantee the safety of his children. Not only Jiang Ruxiu, everyone present felt pity. Of course, there were many who delighted in Chen Zhangtian’s disaster, as if they were toying with him themselves rather than Huan Wen.
“If you have other abilities, bring them out. In light of your Chen Family’s devotion to This Dynasty, I will leave your corpse intact.” Huan Wen coldly said.
The Zhangtian Seal, Cloud True Thunder, and Heaven Lifeless Flying Swords were all exhausted. Chen Zhangtian could only resort to magic treasures.
Huan Wen broke through them in succession, her spear instantly attacking.
Several wounds were pricked into Chen Zhangtian’s body. The man suddenly bellowed, using another Zhangtian Seal to force Huan Wen back. Chen Zhangtian circulated all of his magic energy, and the Heaven Lifeless Flying Swords all separated, soaring into the clouds.
In a split second, the world turned dark.
Circle Hill, even the entirety of Chang’an City, plunged into a black night. A terrifying magic energy rolled in the heavens.
Seeing Chen Zhangtian was staking everything on one final move, the head abbot of the Wanshou Temple prayed for him, sighing slightly.
Huan Wen’s brows rose. She sensed terror. The girl’s white armor was particularly eye-catching in the black night. She once again rushed forward, thrusting her spear straight forward. Brilliant spear-light like white snow covered Chen Zhangtian’s chest.
Yellow Rank: Chest Opener!!
Chen Zhangtian let out a thundering roar, shaking the heavens, unbelievably forcing Huan Wen back. The Zhangtian Seal struck Huan Wen, shaking the girl and lightly injuring her. At the same time, the black sword-shadows fell from the sky. In that instant, it was like the entire night was focused on that white armored body.
Final sword array!
This Life Is Lifeless Sword Array!
“Hmph.” Huan Wen leisurely swept her hand, and the Cold Night Spear clashed with the Flying Swords. The powerful magic energy challenged the girl somewhat. Huan Wen’s eyes narrowed, and she stamped her feet into the ground and bellowed.
The world and earth around Huan Wen seemed to be the rear garden of a yellow court. Huan Wen, who was at the center, sensed her endless Earthly Fiend Star Energy was replenishing. Then, she used her Star Energy.
There was a heaven-shaking noise.
Immediately, after there was a scream. Chen Zhangtian stumbled backwards, unable to hold on. He fell to a knee, his chest already run through, blood spraying non-stop. All of is magic energy scattered. His Flying Swords that fluttered though the air were already powerless to stop her, whining without end.
Chen Zhangtian was defeated.
“Father.”
Chen Luan sobbed, struggling free of the servants’ grasp.
“Don’t come here.” Chen Zhangtian waved his palm to stop her again, but his voice was incomparably weak.
In but an instant, the formerly high-spirited Human Sovereign had already fallen to his last gasp.
Everyone looked at Huan Wen, feeling more and more how terrifying she was.
Huan Wen drew closer to the Human Sovereign, step by step. The Cold Night SPear’s chilling edge pressed against his neck. The Human Sovereign was made to kneel on the ground in an execution posture. HIs head drooped, powerless to resist.
Most people were unable to watch the scene of Chen Zhangtian’s imminent execution and shut their eyes.
“Chen Zhangtian has no regrets to die under Your Highness Huan Wen’s spear.”
Huan Wen sneered, “Very good. This indeed is your good fortune.”
Seven Stars raised her spear and thrust it at Chen Zhangtian’s heart.
“Father.” Chen Luan let out a grief-stricken shout.
The white frost spear-light shattered with a bang.
Huan Wen retreated and saw a young man standing at Chen Zhangtian’s side, gripping her spear.
The black sky concealed the interloper’s face, but his figure was so tall and imposing, supporting Heaven and Earth, unstoppable.
Huan Wen was blank.
Everyone was stunned.
“You shouldn’t have come back.” Chen Zhangtian softly said. “You aren’t my son at all.”
“I’ll always be your son.”
He answered.
