However, speed was speed, but what about now?
The first layer of the Gushing Spring Tier could actually rip through the defences of the Spiritual Ocean Tier… this destructive power was practically terrifying.
They once again turned to look at Feng Yan. According to hearsay, the destructive power of the Wild Strength Berserk Ape was frightening, but an attack on Ling Han only managed to cause a bit of blood to appear at the corner of his lips. However, Hu Niu was capable of reducing Yan Tian Zhao’s back to a lump of flesh and blood. Under such a comparison, it was obvious that it would be more accurate to say that Hu Niu was the owner of the Wild Strength Berserk Ape bloodline.
…On one side, it was a Spiritual Ocean Tier martial artist attacking a Gushing Spring Tier opponent, whereas on the other side, it was a Gushing Spring Tier martial artist attacking a Spiritual Ocean Tier opponent, yet it was Hu Niu whose destructive power was stronger, so how could it be any more obvious?
Xiu , Hu Niu once again launched an attack. Speed was her greatest advantage as she moved like the wind. When one’s eyes captured her figure, in actual fact, the little girl had appeared in another location, and what the eyes saw was actually only her afterimage.
Hu Niu had no sliver of mercy in her at all. Slaughter was her instinct, and now that her instincts had been activated, it was as if she had transformed into a little girl and endlessly pounced on Yan Tian Zhao in attack.
On his arms and legs, Yan Tian Zhao continued to bleed endlessly. It was pointless even if he had the cultivation of the Spiritual Ocean Tier as he was completely unable to spot Hu Niu, so there was absolutely no use for his superior cultivation!
Everyone was flabbergasted. In their mindset, speed could only used for the purpose of flight, but this scene in front of their eyes had turned over all their ideas—the reason why they would have this idea was because their speed had not reached an extreme level!
Whoever had speed like what Hu Niu possessed was completely able to turn speed into the greatest source of their battle prowess.
Yan Tian Zhao’s expression became darker and darker, but there was still an incredibly evil smile curling up the corners of his lips. Hong , he actually sprayed out a green fog all over his body that transformed into multiple threads that wove together tightly and transformed the area within thirty feet of him into a spiderweb-like area.
It was not a net that had been laid flat, but a net that stood upright.
Hu Niu instantly crashed into the green net. She struggled, but discovered that though the green threads were extremely thin, they were shockingly sturdy, so no matter how much effort she used, she was unable to struggle free.
“Heng, in my Heaven and Earth Spider Web, you still plan on getting free?” Yan Tian Zhao smirked coldly. These threads moved, and it was as if they had a life and will of their own, sending Hu Niu closer and closer to Yan Tian Zhao.
Hu Niu became anxious, turned her head, opened her mouth and bit. Wu la , and a green thread actually was ripped in half by her bite.
Pu!
Yan Tian Zhao was so shocked, his eyeballs were about to pop out of his head. This was Heaven and Earth Spider Web, his absolute trump card. As long as someone that was of the same cultivation level as he was captured by his spider web, then it was impossible he would be able to get free. The sturdiness of it was comparable to ingredients of the same level that were used to forge weapons.
Yet this little girl actually tore through it with a bite… what kind of f******* teeth did she have?!
When he recalled how he had suffered so many claw attacks at Hu Niu’s hands, then if the little girl coincidentally decided to bite him instead… Yan Tian Zhao could not help but swallow and reach out to rub his throat. Then it was really possible that she could tear through his throat in a single bite, and he would die instantly.
He could not help but feel a powerful lingering feat, and the killing intent in his eyes grew exponentially. He delivered a palm strike to Hu Niu’s chest.
“Heng!” the Rain Emperor gave a light humph, and his imperial authority spread out, broad and powerful.
Yan Tian Zhao instantly experienced a pain in his chest, and his consciousness shivered. He hurriedly withdrew some portion of his power and, with a peng , Hu Niu was flung away by the strike. With a pa , she had fallen at the foot of the hill, and her small figure lay unmoving on the ground.
She had only suffered a heavy injury because that humph of the Rain Emperor made Yan Tian Zhao withdraw a large portion of his power.
…The Rain Emperor had already said that this was a tournament and a spar, so it was unavoidable that there would be injuries. However, killing someone else was definitely not permitted. In front of the Rain Emperor, who would dare commit murder?
Ling Han was currently engaged in a great battle with Feng Yan, and when he saw this scene, he could not help but fly into a powerful rage.
“Get lost!” He waved out a powerful slash which contained an endless inferno of fury. Feng Yan actually dared not receive this strike head on, and could not help but make a strategic retreat.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Ling Han knew that Hu Niu was not in any life-threatening danger. He also knew that with the Rain Emperor there, it was impossible that anyone would lose their life. But when he saw Hu Niu’s tiny figure lying there on the ground without any sign of movement and with a bit of blood on the corner of her lips, he was still extraordinarily enraged, and felt an urge to destroy every bit of the heavens and earth.
Hu Niu had been injured because she had tried to stop Yan Tian Zhao, and the reason why Hu Niu had done so was naturally because of him!
Since his rebirth, this was the second time he was so furious—the first time was when Ling Dong Xing was captured by the Cheng Clan and was about to be beheaded in public.
“Yan Tian Zhao!” he roared, shrugged off Feng Yan and charged towards Yan Tian Zhao.
Yan Tian Zhao was also very displeased. He, a genuine Spiritual Ocean Tier elite, was actually beaten black and blue by a little girl. Now, he had only knocked Hu Niu unconscious, and injured her slightly, so what was there for Ling Han to be so furious about?
Feng Yan was even more enraged and screamed in fury, because Ling Han actually shrugged him off and ignored him. Moreover, this was the first time he had seen Ling Han so furious. Even when Liu Yu Tong was forced to marry another, Ling Han had not been so angered.
This obviously meant that Ling Han had only been playing with him previously, and had not taken him seriously as an opponent at all.
Damn it! Damn it! He was really too despicable!
Ling Han was enraged. Liu Yu Tong was merely his little female attendant, but he thought of Hu Niu as his family. Moreover, Hu Niu was only such a little girl, so she was naturally even more doted upon by Ling Han. Even he dared not reprimand her too harshly, yet now she was actually so heavily injured by Yan Tian Zhao that she was lying on the ground unmoving. How could this not cause him to be extraordinarily furious?
“Ah!” He drew his sword in rage, and at that one moment, he had forgotten everything else, and the only thought in his head was to behead Yan Tian Zhao.
Shua , seven flashes of Sword Qi shone.
Chapter 276
Chapter 276: Seven Flashes of Sword Qi
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Kurisu
Under the fury, Ling Han finally broke through, forming the seventh flash of Sword Qi!
Teng, teng, teng , everyone at the base of the hill stood up.
No matter if it were Saber Qi or Sword Qi, as long as one produced Qi, one would have the potential to become a king. However, up to three flashes was just a minor accomplishment, and six flashes counted as major accomplishment, but seven flashes… could truly be crowned king!
To observe Rain Country’s history, those who possessed six flashes of Qi were not little, though all of them were sixty or seventy before reaching it; at least, geniuses like that still existed.
But seven flashes?
One and only!
Surveying the entire Nine Nations of the Desolate North, seven hundred years ago, a genius blade user certainly appeared and materialized seven flashes of Sword Qi, being invincible at the Spiritual Pedestal Tier—not shaming the state of king. However, when this blade sect master formed seven flashes of Sword Qi, he or she was already at a high age of sixty-two years old.
How old was this youngster before their eyes?
A freak!
The freaks today were appearing endlessly.
The seventh flash of Sword Qi wasn’t all of Ling Han’s breakthrough!
Under his violent rage, Ling Han unleashed Mysterious Three Thousand. This was his strongest sword skill as usual, but what wasn’t usual was that under the violent rage, each flash of Sword Qi transformed.
Mysterious Three Thousand could instantly unleash three thousand attacks at one’s extreme. This was definitely an ultimate move, and at the highest tier, it could almost take over the world. However, Ling Han was far from such a tier, so he could only unleash a hundred attacks.
Now, eight hundred sword lights appeared!
Could his comprehension of Mysterious Three Thousand have advanced so much under his rage?
The strange thing was that he still unleashed a hundred sword lights.
That was because the seven flashes of Sword Qi split, from one into two, and from two into three, with each flash of Sword Qi turning into a hundred sword lights!
Eight hundred sword lights radiated through heaven and earth.
What sort of concept was this? It was equivalent to eight hundred Ling Hans attacking and each one unleashing an attack; although this attack was a normal one, without using any techniques, but it was a full-force attack. Eight hundred together could scare someone to death.
Behind, Feng Yan stopped abruptly. This radiant and resplendent attack scared even him, making him unwilling to parry that attack; that would truly be walking himself into trouble.
Yan Tian Zhao’s expression changed drastically; he hurriedly roared and waves of green mist were ejected, turning into a barrier that blocked the area between him and Ling Han.
Eight hundred sword lights struck!
Peng , the green barrier immediately turned into infinite pieces and the sword light continued on its path, sending Yan Tian Zhao flying through the sky in a parabolic arc before landing heavily onto the ground.
He was still alive, but his body was covered in blood. His body was torn so much that bones were revealed and organs could be seen in his thoracic cavity! The surprising thing was that the muscles in his entire body were wriggling, healing at a surprisingly fast speed.
Ling Han was shocked, this still couldn’t kill him?
It was no wonder Rain Emperor didn’t intervene.
Pa , he sat onto the ground. Eight hundred sword lights had been shockingly powerful, but the expenditure was also terrifyingly large, extracting his Origin Power completely!
This was only eight hundred sword lights, which wasn’t the limit of three thousand; it was no wonder that he couldn’t activate the Three Styles of Black Origin’s second form and third form—he didn’t even have the Origin Power.
Heaven’s Sword Sect’s people… were all abnormal?
Ling Han panted heavily; Hu Niu was in a coma; Yan Tian Zhao was in a coma; only Fen Yang’s battle prowess was whole!
“Hahahaha!” Feng Yan laughed aloud, walking over in large strides. “Who would’ve thought that I’d win in this way.” He already restrained his Wild Strength Berserk Ape bloodline, which was greatly exhausting, so he naturally restrained his Mirror Light Body as well. Now the other three already lost their battle prowess, even if his cultivation was weakened by a hundred times, he would still win.
Ling Han smiled bitterly. He didn’t think much under a violent rage, and he didn’t know he could acquire a breakthrough on the application of Mysterious Three Thousand, unleashing eight hundred sword lights at once and draining his Origin Power completely.
Medicinal pills couldn’t be taken during the match. Taking a pill meant forfeiting, so what should he do? Watch helplessly as Feng Yan reached the top?
“You truly disappoint me. I had thought to defeat you when you unleashed your full battle prowess, then cripple your two legs, striking you from the pinnacle of your life to an all-time low!” Feng Yan said with a disappointed tone.
Ling Han laughed aloud, and said in disdain, “My sword strike just now, would you dare to parry it?”
Feng Yan’s expression stiffened; even if he had two physiques 1 , which were both kickass, he was still scared by those radiant and extreme eight hundred sword lights. He supposed it could be blocked, but he would end up the same as Yan Tian Zhao, being heavily injured.
“Hmph, the result now is that you can only look up at me!” He didn’t respond to the question, as such postulations had no meaning.
Feng Yan revealed a cold expression, raising his foot to trample on Ling Han. He was going to make Ling Han lose face in front of the whole world.
Ling Han reached out to block, but everyone could see how futile that was.
Was a quasi-Earth Grade alchemy master that formed seven flashes of Sword Qi actually going to receive such great humiliation?
The people on the bottom felt unpleasant inside, Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chang were even more agitated that they could not forfeit for Ling Han.
Feng Yan sneered, stepping down without hesitation.
Pa , his left foot stepped onto Ling Han’s right hand and a strong force like a lofty mountain pushed down on it, trampling down towards Ling Han’s face. However, at this moment, Feng Yan’s expression changed drastically as he let out a tragic scream that shook heaven and earth.
What the hell was he screaming for? He clearly had a huge advantage, yet he still wanted to trick people?
No!
Everyone saw clearly that Feng Yan’s left leg was eroding, as if it was made of mist, dispersing from a puff.
What was going on?
Ling Han revealed a proud smile. He refined Asura Demon Emperor’s Demonic Qi and formed a black-colored demonic seal on his palm afterwards. This was the Power of Regulation, extremely scary.
Although the power was strong, it could only adhere to the palm’s surface, so normally it had almost no use. However, Feng Yan actually stepped on him, seeking pain for himself.
“Ah!” Feng Yan cried out sharply, cutting off his own left leg; otherwise, the erosion would continue to spread until his entire person was turned into dust.
Pa , he abruptly sat onto the ground. The problem wasn’t just a leg, but also a terrifying wave of power that penetrated inside his body, roiling and making him extremely unwell. Even enduring the urge to scream was already extremely difficult, let alone fighting.
Now, of the four of them, none were still standing.
Who would’ve thought that the scene would play out in this way—everyone stared blankly, absolutely unable to accept what happened.
Xiu, xiu, xiu, xiu , those who originally were knocked down the mountain came running back one after another. The formidable ones were hurt, and the ones unconscious lay unconscious, was it not precisely their chance?
Ling Han stood up; he wasn’t hurt, just drained of Origin Power. Now, he naturally recovered a little, and was able to stand and run without any problem at all.
He took large strides, and was already before the Rain Emperor
“The victor of this time’s battle is Ling Han!” Rain Emperor imposing filled voice sounded, shaking the skies.
Chapter 277

It ended, and Ling Han obtained the final victory.
No one could have anticipated that Hu Niu had such surprising speed; if she won the first prize, everyone would’ve been shocked, but it would still be acceptable; but, Ling Han? He actually defeated Feng Yan and Yan Tian Zhao, something no one
thought possible.
One strike to defeat Yan Tian Zhao, and one palm to cripple Feng Yan, completely like a dream.
Rain Emperor looked at Ling Han with a calm and tranquil expression, but no one knew of the raging turbulent waves in his heart.
Today, the performances of these four youngsters were beyond what he anticipated, even unwilling to think about it. In all honesty, of the four, Feng Yan was the most normal with two physiques, and the other three were freaks.
Yan Tian Zhao’s “green mist’ and recovery speed, Hu Niu’s speed, and Ling Han’s last sword art and the eerie palm at the end baffled even Rain Emperor.
“Take it!” Rain Emperor took out a box from thin air, handing it to Ling Han.
A spatial ring.
Ling Han was a bit astounded. He’d originally thought that Rain Country couldn’t possibly have spatial rings, but unexpectedly, Rain Emperor had such a treasure. However, thinking again, since a Mystical Power like the Eye of Truth appeared in the country’s treasury, then acquiring a spatial ring occasionally wasn’t so rare.
He took the box. This thing wasn’t big, but it wasn’t easy to put into his pockets, so he had to hold it in his hands.
…Rain Emperor could expose his possession of a spatial ring, but Ling Han wouldn’t dare. He was too weak right now after all; besides, he wasn’t wearing the ring on his hand, but put it away in the Black Tower.
“Huh?” Rain Emperor was slightly startled for a moment, looking afar.
Ling Han also immediately felt a strong presence, and followed Rain emperor’s gaze.
A cloud floated from afar, but the bizarre thing was that the cloud was actually pink, and it was extremely fast. However, a bit closer, a man could be seen on top of the cloud.
This was a seventy-year-old man, who was slender with black hair, wearing a long robe, and appearing very sage-like.
A man? Flying in the sky?
‘Hiss!’
