Chapter 1668: Opening Heavens Sword Sect

The horse carriage left the city.

Rourou’s voice echoed through the horse carriage, “Since you met, it means you guys have fate. Aren’t you going to say anything to her?”

Qin Yu calmly replied, “There is a lot of fate in the world. Some is deep, some is shallow, some is near, and some is far. Since I don’t want to be involved, it means that the fate is shallow. It is better to cut it off sooner.”

There was some silence. Then, Rourou scoffed, “What nonsensical logic!”

Qin Yu smiled. He could sense that Rourou was actually very satisfied with his performance.

At this point, Rourou glanced backward. Her eyes were flashing.

The arrangements were more or less done. As long as the great general, Zhao Yuan of the Qin Empire, was not a fraud, he would have sensed it.

The next few days of their journey went by smoothly and the horse carriage got to the foot of Bull Fighting Mountain.

Qin Yu pulled on the reins and he saw a middle-aged man in black clothes standing in the middle of the road with a sword. His eyes narrowed slightly and he instantly went on guard.

Very strong!

The man stood in front and his invisible aura immediately interrupted the World’s Net. It caused chaos in a small area of the net and it was hard for Qin Yu to further sense him.

Before Qin Yu spoke, the middle-aged man calmly said, “Did the two of you take the demon spirit in Bull Fighting Mountain? I am very curious how you managed to do this.”

A sinister aura arrived as he spoke and it covered the entire world. It felt like there were a million invisible blades circling the air. They could fall down at any time and slaughter everything in their radius.

This was the great general guarding Jade Gate, Zhao Yuan!

As soon as he sensed the violent sword aura, Qin Yu confirmed the other party’s identity. His heart clenched.

The thing he was most worried about eventually happened. However, Rourou assured him that nothing would go wrong.

Was Rourou’s judgment wrong or was there some other reason?

“If you are not going to speak, then I can only personally test you out.” Zhao Yuan stepped forward. There was a ‘boom’ and violent forces instantly crushed the area. The sky seemed to have fallen by three inches.

The carriage broke and Rourou flew out from it. She extended a hand above her and the crushing forces immediately disappeared. She landed beside Qin Yu, “Great General Zhao Yuan, we are just passing through the Jade Gate and we have no reason to be your enemy. Please do not be overbearing.”

There was shock written all over Qin Yu’s face. He had not expected that Rourou would speak like this.

This was really unlike her.

Shouldn’t it be – get lost or die!

This was more like her style.

What was going on?

Qin Yu was very disturbed. Shouldn’t she have told him about it? Why did he feel like his mind was filled with hazy water?

“Don’t speak. Listen properly, this is not the time for you to act.”

Rourou’s voice echoed by his ears. Qin Yu obediently backed down and he lowered his head and did not speak.

Whatever you say!

Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes and his lips curled into a slight smile, “You have a strong cultivation. I am curious about your identities.” However, right at that moment, he suddenly frowned. He did not continue attacking and his eyes stared at Rourou intently with a serious expression.

A very strong sword aura!

It was vast and thick and it vaguely made him feel suppressed. Furthermore, it felt slightly familiar. Where had he met this sword aura before?

Zhao Yuan felt threatened.

Rourou spoke in a deep voice, “Great General Zhao Yuan, we are indeed the ones who took the demon spirit here. We…are willing to make up for that.”

She spoke directly and named her price…Zhao Yuan felt the familiar feeling become stronger. He looked at Rourou and then at Qin Yu, who she was protecting behind her. Zhao Yuan had noticed the surprise in his eyes just now.

Buzz –

There was a soft hum of a sword and a billion sword shadows instantly appeared. They were crashing like a wave and there was a shrill sound before they rushed forward. Rourou’s eyebrows knitted together and she raised an arm and brought it down. The billion sword shadows were split through the middle and Zhao Yuan retreated backwards. He lowered his head and noticed a tear on his black clothes. His eyes glistened brightly.

“Opening Heavens Sword Sect!”

Zhao Yuan suddenly lifted his arms and crossed them. His fingers spread and he made a weird sign with his hands.

Rourou’s expression faltered and there was a cold killing intent in her eyes.

Zhao Yuan smirked, “Killing and silencing people is the best method, but this is the Jade Gate. Do you think you can really kill me? Even if you use a hidden card as a guardian, I am confident of escaping. By then, death would be the only way out for you two.”

Rourou sighed, “Great General, what do you want?”

Zhao Yuan calmly said, “The Opening Heavens was destroyed ten thousand years ago, I didn’t expect there would still be a guardian to pass on its legacy. So how about this – we can discuss after I capture you.” He clapped his hands and there were sharp shooting sounds in the air. A few elites of the military flew over.

“According to Central Desolate rules, once returned sects are exposed, you have to accept an Interrogation Battle. I have a disciple under me. If you defeat him, I promise that I will not reveal anything about today.”

Rourou turned towards Qin Yu and said, “Alright, we agree!”

Zhao Yuan smiled, “I like straightforward people. Zhao Heng, you come out.” One of the young armored military men stepped forward. He saluted the general in a serious manner.

He turned and glared at Qin Yu. There was a cold aura circling in his eyes.

“Don’t ask so much for now. When you fight later, use your most powerful method to take care of this small fry from the military directly.”

Qin Yu really wanted to massage his forehead. How did this sudden fight to the death arrive? However, Rourou must have her reasons for it.

He took a decisive step forward.

“Zhao Heng.”

The man said in a deep voice.

“Opening Heavens Sword Sect, Qin Yu.”

He would learn on the spot and use it. As for whatever the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was, only ghosts would know.

Boom –

The long sword was instantly unsheathed. It was like a galaxy of stars was split open above their heads. It was not overly bright and showy and it only harbored a deathly, sinister sword aura that was filled with an air of destruction.

Qin Yu activated his mental senses and the rules of the heavens started to shift. They formed a small world that trapped his enemy and him within.

Rourou had given him a reminder to use his strongest technique to kill the man. Qin Yu’s strongest technique now was to create a small world where he was the god.

Zhao Yuan’s eyes lit up as he observed this scene and there were suspicions that boggled his mind.

“Stop it, we admit defeat!”

Since it was an heir of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect who cultivated a small world technique, there was no reason to continue the battle.

Zhao Heng was still in the small world and he did not stop his attacks. He roared and his eyes turned bright red. Flesh and blood on his physical body cracked open into tiny pieces and blood instantly stained his entire body.

At the same time, the sword strike he unleashed was dyed red. The violence and deathly atmosphere around it became ten times stronger.

Zhao Yuan frowned and jumped ahead. However, before he could land, he was forcibly pushed back.

Rourou glared at him with cold eyes.

In the next moment, there was a ‘boom’ sound. Zhao Heng’s headless corpse dropped to the ground and his blood spurted out.

The chaotic and violent sword aura that permeated the world a second ago dissipated like the wind. Sword strikes sliced through the earth and left many scars on it.

Each one of the sword strikes was like wind and sun rays; they carried a majestic aura.

Great General Zhao Yuan was expressionless and he stared at the corpse. He slowly said, “He is my disciple and also my son. Furthermore, I already admitted defeat.”

Qin Yu naturally would not explain this. Since Rourou told him to kill the man and she did not stop him, he killed him directly.

Whether or not Zhao Heng deserved to die…that question should be asked to his teacher, Zhao Yuan. Qin Yu was not involved in this.

After all, in that battle scene just now, someone with a lower cultivation rank than Qin Yu would have been turned to dust by Zhao Heng’s sword.

There was no such rule that dictated that one could only be killed and not kill right? Furthermore, Qin Yu left half of Zhao Heng’s body behind. That was merciful.

Rourou’s expression was solemn and there was coldness in her eyes, “Great General, you should know the rules of the Interrogation Battle. Since you chose to attack, both sides bet their lives and there is no way to back off halfway. Otherwise, Great General, you would be giving the Opening Heavens Sword Sect the biggest humiliation…even if the sword sect only has a few people left, we don’t mind destroying you.”

“Destroying me?” There was a dangerous look on Zhao Yuan’s face. “With you two? Do you really think that I don’t have a way to kill you two on the spot directly?”

Kaboom –

The ground shook violently and numerous shadows appeared in the distance. They were from the military and they carried a sinister killing intent. As long as the great general gave his orders, they would rush for the kill.

Zhao Yuan scoffed, “My armored guards once surrounded and killed a Half-King demon after spending thirty percent of our forces! Do you think that I won’t dare to order them to kill the last heirs of the Opening Heavens Sect?”

Rourou stepped forward. Sword aura burst out above her head and it solidified to form a ten thousand foot long sword shadow. Her target was Zhao Yuan and her eyes were icy cold. There was no fear in them and she dared, “Great General, you can give it a try.”

It was a direct threat.

You can kill off the inheritance of the sword sect. But before I die, I will drag you to the grave with me!

In front of violence and destruction, there was no such thing as logic. She did not even fear the heavens.

This was truly the Opening Heavens Sword Sect!

Back then, the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was the best sword sect in the Central Desolate Divine Area and it offended a lot of people. When it was attacked, no one wanted to help it. The sect was defeated and many were killed.

Zhao Yuan laughed in a hysterical manner. He could not stand being threatened by others.

People may not dare to bet their lives, but he was not afraid of laying his down.

Furthermore, he had done it many times before and he was still alive.

However, those who dared him had all become ashes in their homes!

Shoosh –

A daoist suddenly appeared in midair, blocking the two of them from each other. He smiled, “As the saying goes, if you don’t fight, you don’t know each other. Why do you have to get angry?”

Zhao Yuan frowned, “National Advisor has not left?”

The national advisor of Great Qin was someone who was well trusted by the king. As soon as he heard the rude words from Zhao Yuan, he frowned, “He left at first. However, he heard some disturbances midway and he rushed back to observe the Interrogation Battle.”

He glanced at Zhao Yuan, “We should abide by old rules set in the past. You suggested the Interrogation Battle and you can only blame yourself for his death. Great General Zhao Yuan, am I right?”

Zhao Yuan scoffed.

The national advisor smiled. Young people were bold and daring; he could not treat them like ordinary people. Also, that old guy in the Zhao Family was quite troublesome. If he learned that his beloved grandson was dead, he would be enraged.

Troublesome!

He turned to look at Rourou and his eyes brightened, “Senior…hmm, how should I address you? I should be right. After all, although you look young, you are definitely not.”

Qin Yu could not help looking up and staring at the national advisor.

The national advisor turned towards Qin Yu with a warm smile, “See, this young man seems to agree with my words.”

Qin Yu was at a loss for words.

Excuse me, if you want to die, please don’t drag me in alright?

“Young man, it is not right to curse at people. Even if you can’t hold it in and you have to curse, please try to hide it. Otherwise, don’t you think it is awkward if I see through you?”

Qin Yu thought for a while and then cupped his hands together, “Thank you for the reminder, National Advisor.”
