751: Chapter 195: Sword Mountain_3 751: Chapter 195: Sword Mountain_3 Even after he had fused with the sun, he couldn’t have survived more than three to five days in the unopened Taoist hall.
This woman was desperately making a last stand…
Her Immortal Sword came from this very mountain?
She had obtained the inheritance of this place!
There were things within the mountain that could save her life!
She must not be allowed to enter!
Feng Shi’s mind cleared, and he exploded into action.
The Golden Liquid hovering by his side shot out like darts, but at that moment, Su Huanian, who was clearly dozens of miles away from the mountain, suddenly vanished.
She just broke through space and leapt dozens of miles, evading the attack and plunging headfirst into the mountain.
Before entering, she turned to glance back at Feng Shi, her gaze as cold and undisturbed as ever.
This woman had used Space Power inside the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky!
Had she been recognized by this place?
Was she the true heir?
Had the mountain drawn her in?
Feng Shi’s complexion changed completely.
He slapped the Golden Liquid before him, making a globule of it burn up.
His face twisted hideously in agony, yet his speed surged as he chased after Su Huanian and charged up the mountain.
This place hadn’t opened yet, and yet this woman could receive the inheritance—there was no need for this place to open in order to receive the inheritance!
A fervent look appeared in his eyes.
Anyone who could establish a Taoist hall in the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky was a Greater Power, a being referred to as a Tao Master by later generations.
Who wouldn’t desire a Tao Master’s inheritance?
Feng Shi charged up the mountain, only to find no trace of the woman.
The mountain was empty except for wild grasses covered in silver white, similar to leeks.
Channel Spirit Sword Grass!
This type of grass was full of Sword Intent, incredibly sharp, and could occasionally be seen on the graves of powerful Sword Cultivators who had reached Stepping Sky Seven-fold.
And here—there was an entire mountain of it!
Feng Shi took a sharp breath.
Was this mountain a tomb?
Was someone interred here, a Sword Immortal of unimaginable power?
Was this a Sword Cultivator’s inherited land?
A look of joy on Feng Shi’s face, he leapt up the mountain.
The hidden forces in this land were indeed several times more powerful than in the outside world, and he couldn’t stay here long.
He had to find the location of the inheritance, seize it, and immediately retreat!
As he hurried up the mountain, he spotted a thatched cottage at the peak, and in front of it stood the woman in white, quietly statue-like.
A patch of bright red adorned her chest as she looked down at him.
Feng Shi’s pupils tightened.
Without a word, he leapt forward.
Curling his hand into a claw, a ball of golden light condensed beneath his palm as he struck out towards Su Huanian.
Just then, Su Huanian held the Immortal Sword and slashed down.
Sword Light soared into the sky.
This mountain had been here for an unknown length of time, gathering the Sword Qi of an entire mountain which now erupted, following Su Huanian’s slash, slashing down in one fell swoop.
In the world, there was nothing but this one sword strike!
Throughout the entire mountain, every blade of grass, every rock, all things flashed with Sword Light, transforming the whole mountain into an Immortal Sword, leaving no chance for him to escape, as the mountain-as-sword slashed down upon him.
Feng Shi felt a light passing through him as if it hurt a little, and yet it seemed as if he felt nothing.
A streak of Sword Light passed by, and Feng Shi’s charging body came to a halt, staring unbelievingly at the peak, his eyes filled with shock.
A crack appeared on his brow, from which golden light spilled, draining his power.
Then, the crack began expanding bit by bit from his forehead, splitting his crown, then bit by bit it carved through his nose, mouth, neck, and abdomen…
The speed was extremely fast, almost instantaneous, but to the eye, it seemed agonizingly slow, gradually slicing Feng Shi into two halves like a slow-motion sequence.
This Sword Intent, following the forces of the unseen, cut into his Life Bound space, shattering Feng Shi’s Life Bound Stars before finally dissipating.
Even at Stepping Sky Seven-fold, he couldn’t withstand a single sword strike!
Feeling that her Life Bound Stars had been shattered, Su Huanian’s body softened, and she nearly collapsed, using the Spirit Immortal Sword to prop herself up as she looked down at the wound on her chest.
The Golden Liquid had pierced through her heart with the effect of a Reverse Cut Root.
Even if she were to commit suicide and revive, this through-and-through wound wouldn’t heal.
The Little Artifact Spirit on the Spirit Immortal Sword emerged, weakened as she was nearly out of strength.
Clenching her fists, she looked at Su Huanian’s chest, while the Green Bird also flapped its wings and jumped out.
Its mouth spat out a pile of bottles and jars, recklessly pouring various medicines onto Su Huanian’s chest wound.
But the medicines had no effect on the wound.
Su Huanian shook her head: “There’s no need to waste them; ordinary medicines are useless for this wound.”
This wasn’t merely a physical injury; it contained Feng Shi’s will and the aura of the sun.
It required Su Huanian to erode the will within the wound bit by bit with her own Sword Intent before there was any possibility of healing.
This was after the Spirit Immortal Sword had already reduced the might of the incoming Golden Liquid by ninety percent; otherwise, she wouldn’t have survived.
But with her Stepping Sky Three-fold Tao Cultivation, she couldn’t wipe away the will within the wound.
She could only hope that the Sword Mountain would help, or else she’d have to drag the injury back and seek help from Ji Feixue.
Su Hua looked down at the mountain beneath her feet.
Upon entering this mountain, the name of the mountain appeared in Su Huanian’s mind.
This truly was a Sword Mountain, with all kinds of swords planted in every part of it.
Not just Immortal Swords, but also Ordinary Treasure Swords forged from mortal iron, and even wooden swords carved for children’s play!
But even the ordinary Mortal Swords contained a unique power.
Utmost love, pure hate, endless childlike innocence…
Each sword bore a profound intensity of emotion, extreme sentiments!
Emotions so deep they were imprinted on the swords, keeping them from decaying on Sword Mountain to this very day.
Each sword had a unique aura.
As Su Huanian looked around, a vague sense of information welled up in her heart.
This place wasn’t truly Sword Mountain yet!
Or rather, Sword Mountain had not truly been activated, for if it had been, each sword planted in Sword Mountain should have transformed into a secret land.
