Chapter 94

"Torrential rain!"

Hong Gang shouted loudly, leaped forward, and soared into the sky. He first put some distance between himself and Ling Dao, then unleashed this sword technique. It was as if he had transformed into an ancient rain god, with the sword in his hand becoming the raindrops in the sky.

Raindrops fell one by one. The reason he was not afraid of Ling Dao's ghostly speed was because of this sword technique. No matter how bizarre Ling Dao's Eight Steps of Chasing Stars were, no matter how fast his sword speed was, under the dense raindrops, he would surely retreat.

The torrential rain fell like a real downpour, covering every corner of the ground. Using this move, Hong Gang's consumption was immense, depleting at least seven to eight tenths of his internal true qi. If not for being forced by Ling Dao, he would not have done so.

"Such a powerful sword move, but it's still not enough to defeat me!"

In Ling Dao's eyes, the raindrops were reflected, and then he quickly swung the Sunlight Sword. With his keen intuition for swordsmanship, he dodged and struck the raindrops one by one.

The Sunlight Sword in his hand had transformed into a bolt of lightning, moving so fast that even true qi realm martial artists could barely see it. The sound of metal clashing was deafening, and many people felt their ears hurting. The intense friction between the swords was extremely piercing.

"What a fast sword, what agile movements. I didn't expect this kid to grow so quickly. This battle, Hong Gang is likely to lose!"

In the distance, a young man in a star-patterned robe appeared in the arena. It was the third senior disciple, Zhou Xinghe. Originally, Zhou Xinghe did not plan to come, but after learning that Ling Dao had defeated Ma Teng, he rushed over personally.

Zhou Xinghe arrived just in time. Ling Dao and Hong Gang were still in the middle of their match. To others, Hong Gang, who had unleashed the torrential rain, seemed to have taken the upper hand. However, Zhou Xinghe could see that even with Hong Gang's full effort, Ling Dao still had room to maneuver.

"Silver Moon!"

Ling Dao also leaped up, causing the ground of the training field to shake violently. Then, he shot into the sky like a cannonball. At this moment, Hong Gang was gradually descending, and such a powerful strike still did not affect Ling Dao.

In fact, if Ling Dao revealed his full strength, he could have easily unleashed a move that would make the rain fall back. Unfortunately, he could not reveal it yet; before he had enough strength, it was safer to keep some things to himself.

The Sunlight Sword transformed into a silver moon, falling from the sky and striking Hong Gang's face with great force. Hong Gang, who had unleashed the torrential rain, now had a pale face. Faced with such a powerful strike, he could only do his best to defend.

"Bang!"

Hong Gang's body slammed into the ground, creating cracks. Ling Dao's body also fell sharply, and he stepped on Hong Gang, causing him to scream in pain and spew blood.

"You have lost!"

Ling Dao said softly, but Hong Gang could not respond. After such a severe blow, Hong Gang had completely passed out. Hong Gang, at the peak of the true qi realm, was almost at the Chongxiao realm, but he was still no match for Ling Dao.

"I'll take this broken sword!"

Since Hong Gang was already unconscious, Ling Dao directly took the broken sword. A broken sword that could emit a primitive aura must have a significant origin. To have been preserved from a very long time ago to the present, it was definitely not an ordinary item.

The broken sword was rusted, with less than a third of the blade remaining. On the hilt, a faint "Emperor" character could be seen. This was an extremely ancient script, and if not for Ling Dao's memories from his previous life, he might not have recognized the "Emperor" character. He quickly flipped the broken sword and saw a faint "Human" character.

"Could this be the Human Emperor Sword?"

Even Ling Dao's heart was shaken. The famous Human Emperor Sword, he had naturally heard of it. Not just in this life, but even in his previous world, the Human Emperor Sword was renowned.

The Human Emperor, a legend, a myth that countless people looked up to. Even the Purple Star Holy Land would have to bow in submission if they encountered the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor alone was enough to intimidate ancient and powerful forces.

It was said that the Human Emperor Sword was divided into five parts, scattered across the three realms. These five parts were the tip, the blade, the scabbard, the hilt, and the soul. Ling Dao did not know which part of the Human Emperor Sword this broken sword was.

For countless years, many people had tried to obtain the five parts of the Human Emperor Sword to make it reappear. If the Human Emperor Sword truly appeared, it would be terrifying; ordinary swords could not compare to it.

This broken sword was clearly forged, otherwise, it would not have this shape. Any part of the Human Emperor Sword, when fused with another sword, could create a world-class divine sword.

If this broken sword was a part of the Human Emperor Sword, then emitting a primitive aura would be quite normal. The strength of the Human Emperor, Ling Dao did not know, but he was likely at the peak of the three realms. Therefore, the weapon of the Human Emperor was absolutely the strongest.

It was said that whoever obtained the Human Emperor Sword could become the greatest sword cultivator in the world. This statement was indeed exaggerated, but it also demonstrated the power of the Human Emperor Sword. No matter which part of the Human Emperor Sword this broken sword was, it was a great opportunity for Ling Dao.

Hong Gang deserved to never become a strong person, possessing the Human Emperor Sword but being completely unaware. However, this was not entirely Hong Gang's fault. The five parts of the Human Emperor Sword had extremely strong spirits. Hong Gang's talent was not enough to be recognized by any part of the Human Emperor Sword.

"If the Human Emperor was the greatest sword cultivator in the world, how wonderful it would be to obtain his sword technique!"

Unfortunately, this was only a dream. For countless years, many people had tried to obtain the Human Emperor's sword technique, but no one had ever succeeded. Ling Dao shook his head; it seemed he was being too greedy. Being able to obtain a part of the Human Emperor Sword was already a stroke of luck.

"Are you Ling Dao? You injured my brother Zhou Xing, and now you have injured my subordinate. Do you think you can just leave like this?"

Zhou Xinghe coldly snorted and walked over from a distance. Hearing Zhou Xinghe's voice, the inner disciples were all excited. The third senior disciple, Zhou Xinghe, was a master of swordsmanship, admired by all the inner disciples.

"It's the third senior disciple!"

"I didn't expect to see the third senior disciple today, what good luck!"

"Is the third senior disciple going to take action personally?"

"Isn't that kid doomed?"

All the inner disciples stepped back, making way for Zhou Xinghe!
