BXBX NOVEL Chapter 323 - In the Dusk of Swords
Over 20 years, Sigh City had been hidden in the Northeast. Although Situ Cangyue—known as the Hidden God of the Zhongzhou State—was one of the experts of the Invincible Realm in the Zhongzhou State, she seldom went down Mount Taibai.
...
Since the establishment of Sigh City, Situ Cangyue went down the mountain for the first time three years ago.
And just then, it was the second time.
For a long time, the once amazing woman seemed to fade to silence with ice and snow on Mount Taibai. And, she seemed to have forgotten the whole world. She remained silent as if all the situation had nothing to do with her.
Gu Xingyun joined hands with Wang Tianzong. They might have thought that Situ Cangyue would appear. However, they never thought that Situ Cangyue would express her position so fiercely and decisively.
Of the 12 Murderous Weapons, the Setting Sun was of moderate power, but its energy storage was the fastest. So, it was made for forces that lacked background.
Even if it was not powerful enough, the murderous weapon could directly threaten the life and death of Invincible Realm experts.
Situ Cangyue and Gu Xingyun were only a few tens of meters apart.
The distance was too close. As the Setting Sun lit up after using its energy storage, it smashed the domains of two experts of the Invincible Realm and blasted in Gu Xingyun’s chest.
For hundreds of years, that was the first time that it had fired at people inside his country or power since the murderous weapon had appeared in the Dark World.
Situ Cangyue moved abruptly and firmly, and Gu Xingyun had no time to react.
The surging purple light covered the entire lake, and the great power turned into a visible purple light column. The ear-splitting roar suppressed Gu Xingyun’s furious roar. The destructive energy suppressed Gu Xingyun and shoved him right into the bottom of the lake.
Destroy.
Tearing.
Distortion.
For the first time in his life, Gu Xingyun was that frightened.
He could feel that the surging power was tearing every inch of his body and twisting his internal organs, which seemed to want to destroy him.
At such a close distance, he was hit by the murderous weapon. The shadow of death suddenly shrouded all his consciousness.
He could not die.
He was the only pillar of Kunlun City. At a time when Kunlun City had such a bright prospect, how could he die there without any psychological preparation?!
The blood burst out from every corner of Gu Xingyun’s body, turning into blood fog, dyeing the lake.
Gu Xingyun’s eyes became red.
The lake was surging due to the chaotic energy. Through the clear water, Gu Xingyun could dimly see Situ Cangyue’s white robe above the lake.
He suddenly became filled with extreme anger and hatred.
“Bi**h!”
“That bi**ch!”
“Those who were played by Li Kuangtu were bi**hes!”
Were you so comfortable after being played by Li Kuangtu? Even you bore that in mind for more than 20 years?
Gu Xingyun’s muscles began to swell, and the absolute power was surging inside him. His eyes were scarlet and outrageous.
He did not want to die.
At the very least, he did not want to die in the hands of those mean women!
The purple light directly came to his chest.
The violent, destructive power struck Gu Xingyun at an incredible speed.
Gu Xingyun opened his mouth and abruptly screamed out.
As he was at the bottom of the water, all the lakes in a radius of thousands of meters around him were pushed out, when he opened his mouth.
The Ninth Secluded Impasse!
The Tenth Unique Domain!
As two major domains kept overlaying in the Ten Skills of True Martial Arts, the deep and serene water began to surge.
Gu Xingyun glowed with sword radiance.
Layers of sword radiance rotated around him like a blooming flower.
The flower turned into a complicated sword formation.
The sword formation abruptly formed a storm!
The Eighth Supreme Sword Move!
The vast sword radiance continuously spun around him, surge after surge.
Gu Xingyun’s body had been entirely covered by sword radiance, which was still spinning. Many sword shadows went across the void around Gu Xingyun and spread into the lake, whirling and surging wildly within a radius of thousands of meters.
A tornado was formed with sword radiance in the place where Gu Xingyun stood.
The tornado spread at the bottom of the lake, and the entire lake was undulating in the storm.
The surging and fascinating purple light rushed into the lake continuously.
The West Lake turned purple in the night.
The lake became a vortex that whirled wildly.
The billowy water waves were surging with purple light.
Situ Cangyue raised a hand.
The purple sun in her palm was swelling. From a distance, Situ Cangyue, who was delicate and slender, seemed to hold the sun in her hand.
Gu Xingyun’s cold roar had already rushed out of the lake.
The purple light was still moving forward.
However, sword radiance spun to scatter the purple light. And then, it rotated and shot out again with the lake, condensing in Situ Cangyue’s hands.
The power of the murderous weapon was still there.
After Gu Xingyun’s wild outburst, the defense of the Eighth Supreme Sword Move had reached the limit. The sword radiance formed a storm. Every time the storm spun, Situ Cangyue was struck by the murderous weapon.
With his unique skill, Gu Xingyun reverted things, making Situ Cangyue withstand the power of the Setting Sun.
Situ Cangyue looked pale.
She raised her palm again.
She lifted up both hands that time.
The purple sun on her hands was getting bigger and bigger.
The water wave with purple light had condensed into a huge ball in his hands, with Situ Cangyue’s sword intent, Gu Xingyun’s sword intent, and the power of the murderous weapon.
The ball was constantly expanding.
Taking advantage of the enemy’s power.
How familiar was that scene?
All-embracing Collection!
There was a difference of only a single word, but the martial arts concept was strikingly consistent.
The enemy’s power could not be used well with Situ Cangyue’s All-inclusive Collection, when compared with the unique skill of the Dark World in Purgatory of Heaven Capital.
She could take advantage of the enemy’s power, but she always suffered due to the energy reflected by the enemy during the entire process.
“Situ Cangyue!”
All of a sudden, Gu Xingyun’s roar had already sounded at the bottom of the lake and rose high into the air.
The entire lake was almost overturned in the swirling storm of sword intent. The domain around Gu Xingyun was shrinking and expanding. He was covered in blood and would soon rush out of the bottom of the lake.
Situ Cangyue’s eyes flashed with some madness.
The long white dress was fluttering in the air.
Her body suddenly tightened. The purple sun, which was condensed on her hands, was removed from her grasp. She hurled it toward the bottom of the lake.
The purple light was dazzling to the extreme.
As the storm broke the surface of the lake, the burning sun went down.
The entire West Lake seemed to be silent for a moment. It was a permanent moment.
Everything seemed to stop in a split second.
Then, it was the most thorough destruction!
In the turbulent lake water, the glaring lightning kept shining with the purple light. A mountain rose up from the raging lake.
The peak was towering, which was up to several thousands of meters.
When the Tenth Unique Domain intertwined with the Useless Heaven and Earth, the peak rising from the surface of the lake seemed to have solidified in the void forever.
The purple light shone in the void. It abruptly radiated, joining the strongest forces of two experts of the Invincible Realm in the Divine List.
The peak was instantly shattered, with great sword intent and light.
There seemed to be a sound of a flash flood.
Instead of a mountain, there were white waves up to a thousand meters in height, instantly rising from the surface of the lake.
The void disappeared, and the rough sea collapsed. The sea became a torrent that could cover everything, beating everything around.
With the beat of the surge, the broken bridge, the uneven ground, and the luxuriant foliage suddenly became broken. In the area where they fought, the surroundings in a radius of thousands of meters had become a real unique domain.
The fascinating purple light was dimmed.
Situ Cangyue’s white dress was fluttering, and her body was swaying in the air; a mouthful of blood was suddenly spit by her.
Gu Xingyun, who was covered with blood, suddenly rushed out of the lake. Without looking at Situ Cangyue, he looked at the southwest.
It was far from Lonely Mountain. The faint moonlight shone, and it was lonely.
Situ Cangyue, who looked pale, suddenly stood up straight in the air. As her figure flashed through the sky, countless shadows suddenly appeared in the night sky.
The white dress fluttered in the shadows.
She did not go to chase Gu Xingyun, but she went directly to Lonely Mountain.
Around Lonely Mountain, the mountains and rivers were integrated by sword intent.
The raging sword intent formed the sea.
The endless sword shadows became the water in the sea. Between the shadows were billows and torrents.
Lonely Mountain was full of those sword shadows, without a foothold.
The sword shadows were overwhelming and filled with all the views, shuttling vertically and horizontally. On Lonely Mountain, all the flowers and trees were torn apart. Huge cracks began to appear on solid ground. The darkness deepened. There was nothing except swords in front of Situ Cangyue.
Only those who saw the magnificence of one stroke could understand the meaning of the words “Sword Emperor of the Zhongzhou State.”
Situ Cangyue looked up to the top of the mountain.
At the top, pure darkness without a ray of light covered everything, which seemed to last forever.
Situ Cangyue took a deep breath and stepped into Lonely Mountain.
Around her, thousands of sword shadows suddenly surged like tide or rain. Her figure was immediately drowned.
...
Situ Cangyue was climbing.
Military Counselor was also climbing.
However, Situ Cangyue was just getting started.
Military Counselor had reached the top of the mountain.
The top of Mount Dibing was the most magnificent.
Endless and immense halls stretched all the way among the flowers and plants, and there were countless pavilions. Wherever you looked from the top of Mount Dibing, it was the most beautiful scenery.
...
However, for the enemies of the Wang family of Beihai, up in the mountain there were landscapes, while down the mountain there were traps.
...
Climbing the mountain was more difficult than climbing up to Heaven!
It was the most suitable to describe Mount Dibing.
Under the little steep mountain, more than 50,000 elite forces were stationed all year round. Adding to that, there were many of them armed with the most sophisticated equipment and who also had excellent cooperative engagement capabilities. They were the famous internal security forces of the Wang family of Beihai.
It could be called an ace elite force in any country.
The internal security forces of the Wang family of Beihai could monitor every corner of every road in Mount Dibing and make the quickest response in the shortest time.
For any enemy wanting to enter Mount Dibing, it would be impossible to avoid the Royalty’s internal security forces.
In case of a storm, even if the 50,000 forces hung on for a while, they could hold until nearly 300,000 forces of the Beihai Military Region arrived to give aid.
The Wang family of Beihai was strong.
The defenders on Mount Dibing were strong.
However, all that was meaningless to Military Counselor.
The internal security forces could monitor every corner outside the core area of Mount Dibing.
But, they could not stop the spies from the Wang family of Beihai.
So, he went to Mount Dibing, with complete combat equipment.
...
“The plan is going well.”
In a palace on the top of Mount Dibing where only guests lived, Military Counselor turned away and looked at his companions in front of him to say, “If there are no problems, change your equipment now. We got reliable information that the internal security forces will shift at 11 o’clock tonight. Then, there will be three minutes for them to dispatch. Our friends from the Wang family of Beihai can give us two minutes. From our start and the people at the top of the mountain’s warning to the first group of elites of the internal security forces’ arrival at the summit, we can have ten minutes to take action.”
With deep eyes, he looked at the figures standing side by side in the darkness. He said respectfully, “Everyone, are there any problems?”
“No problem.”
Next to Military Counselor were ten men in black lined up in the darkness.
Since they would go up the mountain that night, they were not completely considering going downhill.
They were Men of Sacrifice.
Even if they had reached high realms of Martial Arts, the Men of Sacrifice were Men of Sacrifice.
They did not need to have problems. Their only task was to meet death.
“I can assure you that everything you will do tonight is worthwhile for your former Highness, your present Highness, and your future Highness.”
Saint came out of the darkness and said solemnly, “Everything tonight is definitely worthwhile!”
Duke and General stood next to Saint.
Everyone stood in the dark and looked blurred.
Ten men in black stood quietly and breathed more and more smoothly.
“Change your equipment.”
Military Counselor profoundly saw the ten Men of Sacrifice in front of him and waved.
The men in black began to move.
All the four Super Masters of the Samsara went into action.
The equipment was put in the pitch-black main hall a few days in advance for that night’s operation.
Some experts from the Wang family of Beihai, who lived on the top of Mount Dibing, were dispatched to other places for some coincidental or inevitable reasons.
The action that night was due to the cooperation in and out of the Wang family of Beihai. It had been prepared for a long time, and at that moment everything was ready.
Military Counselor picked up his equipment.
In the darkness, it was a dark armor.
The armor was heavy, reflecting the hidden light in the darkness.
The effect of the armor in actual combat was almost zero, but that night, it would definitely play a huge role.
It was made of Larman elastic alloy.
According to the latest research of the Germany Army, it was an extra-strong alloy, which could be used for the newest generation of MBT tanks. But just then, it was made into armor.
The only benefit of armors was its firmness.
It was firm and could not be destroyed easily.
However, its defect was heaviness.
“I hate it.”
Military Counselor sighed and wore the set of armor of more than 100kg on his body.
Saint, General, Duke, and Military Counselor.
They were well equipped.
The ten men in black with armors stood in a line again.
It was already 11 o’clock in the evening.
“The four of us will wait here and strike the last blow.”
Military Counselor’s body was inside the armor, so his voice buzzed in the hood, “Everybody, go in peace.”
Among the ten men in black, the leader reached out his hand, patted himself on the chest, and turned away from the mall hall.
Ten men in black.
Under the ten metal hoods were calm and indifferent faces.
They were not afraid of death, because they had been dead for many years in the public eye.
...
Death was freedom, so they had been free for many years.
...
They did not care where they would die, as long as their death was worthwhile.
The ten men went out of the main hall in turn.
When they walked out, the black man in front turned around and looked at the four Super Masters of the Samsara in the darkness.
Saint and Military Counselor stood at the front and looked solemn.
They each said one sentence.
There were only a few words.
One was to rest assured.
The other was to be deserving.
The man in black laughed. Under the hood, he looked a little blurred.
“It was deserving of your death tonight, so please rest assured.”
Perhaps there were some regrets.
They could not see the day when the Young Master’s sovereign descended in the Dark World.
As for death...
They were not afraid at all.
They had died inside many years ago, and their graveyards were in Lin’an at the moment.
Their names were on the tombstone.
The men in black turned and started moving forward.
They got out of the palace, which was special for receiving guests.
In the front was Emperor Temple that represented social status on Mount Dibing.
It was different from the Stage of Formidable Person, the Holy Land of Mount Dibing.
It was different from the World Palace.
Emperor Temple, where Wang Tianzong lived, was in the center of Mount Dibing. Behind it was several core laboratories and some forbidden arsenals.
The eyes of the Ten men in black grew sharp.
In the night, they speeded up.
They were faster and faster.
As they moved, the armors of more than 100 kg gave forth a sound.
Ten people.
Three men formed a group.
The leading man in black formed a group by himself.
They began to scatter and run.
...
They ran about wildly!
The ground on Mount Dibing rumbled.
“Who?!”
The guards on Mount Dibing quickly found something unusual and raised their guns by instinct.
However, the ten men with different directions did not slow down. With great power, they hit the guards and made them fly to Emperor Temple.
“Kill!”
The black man in a single group roared.
A muffled thunderclap seemed to sound on Mount Dibing.
The shining blue suddenly rose to the sky. Like a waterfall, the thunderbolt directly covered the entire Emperor Temple.
The light spread above Mount Dibing.
For a moment, the four Super Masters of the Samsara fixed their eyes on Emperor Temple.
Wang Tianzong was not in Mount Dibing.
They aimed at Emperor Temple tonight.
Infinite thunder light burst in the air.
The sky seemed to turn blue.
However, Military Counselor and Saint abruptly saw the tall front door of Emperor Temple was opening silently.
All of a sudden, all the blue curtains of the night faded.
It was dim between heaven and earth.
Time seemed to flow back from night to dusk.
The dim light covered the entire Emperor Temple.
Sword radiance seemed to never appear, but it was everywhere in front of the Emperor Temple.
Every ray of dim light was a sword.
An invincible sword.
An explosive sword.
The man in black, who first rushed to the Emperor Temple, roared and melted in the dim sword light.
Then, brighter thunder light glistened and still aimed at Emperor Temple.
Dusk seemed to flow back, and sword light spread without stopping.
A setting sun seemed to appear in the night sky.
The sun was setting.
The sword light in the night sky was more dazzling.
A beautiful figure flew out of Emperor Temple and stood on the eaves of Emperor Temple.
The setting sun was rising again in the night sky.
The dim light directly covered Mount Dibing in a wink.
The curtain of the night completely dissipated.
The woman in Emperor Temple made a single stroke with one hand.
In the night sky, the dim light was suddenly spread.
It was soundless, but beautiful and dangerous.
The woman’s long hair was dancing in the sword light.
At that moment, everyone saw her face, which was beautiful but full of coldness and solemnness.
...
“Summer Solstice?!” Military Counselor suddenly screamed out.
