Invincible Divine Sword-Chapter 1253: Yang Xiaotian Couldn’t Even Block Half A Finger
Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: Yang Xiaotian Couldn’t Even Block Half A Finger
Seeing that there were less than ten days left before the competition for the Dao Domain, Yang Xiaotian would occasionally take Ms. Meng out for a walk during the day, besides cultivating at night.
Sometimes, Yang Xiaotian would hold Ms. Meng’s hand as they walked.
At first, Ms. Meng’s hand was somewhat cool, but it later became warm.
Ms. Meng’s heart raced and her cheeks flushed when held by Yang Xiaotian.
Sometimes she would steal a glance at Yang Xiaotian’s profile.
The morning sunlight shone on Yang Xiaotian’s face, and from the side, his face had a different kind of luster.
"I wonder if the Heavenly Dao Holy Master will come to this competition for the Dao Domain?"
"It’s said that the Heavenly Dao Holy Master is in seclusion to break through to that realm, so it’s feared he won’t attend the Dao Domain competition."
When Yang Xiaotian and Ms. Meng passed a teahouse, they heard people inside discussing this.
The Heavenly Dao Holy Master, being the lord of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land and its foremost expert, is said by many to be brothers in the way of the Dao with the Heavenly Dao City Lord.
The two entered the teahouse, chose a quiet spot, sat down, and ordered a pot of tea along with some pastries.
"The Heavenly Dao Holy Master is striving for that realm, he should succeed, right?"
"Hard to say! It’s rumored that Fang Jian of the Fang Family is in seclusion to break through to the Divine Ancestor Realm! If successful, who could withstand even a finger from him in this Dao Domain competition?"
"Yang Xiaotian will probably not even be able to block half of his finger by that time!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian remained unfazed.
Since his victory over Junior Kirin Clan Leader Chen Heng at the Heavenly Dao City Lord’s Mansion last time, many in the Dao Domain were speculating about his true strength.
Some say that he could definitely enter the top ten in this Dao Domain competition!
But others believe he has a chance to enter the top three, or even contend with Fang Jian of the Fang Family.
However, some scoffed at Yang Xiaotian, thinking he wouldn’t even make the top hundred.
Because the participants in this competition for the Dao Domain are almost all at the God Emperor’s ninth level or God Emperor’s tenth level; even if Yang Xiaotian is at the late stage of the seventh level of God Emperor, he cannot possibly win against these disciples at the ninth and tenth levels of God Emperor.
The disciples in the teahouse clearly belonged to those who scoffed at Yang Xiaotian.
"It can only be said that Yang Xiaotian is unlucky, possessing the powers of the two Kings of Chaos, yet unable to become the Son of Dao Domain, truly a pity," one of them said, shaking his head.
"Victory begets a king, defeat a villain, the path of cultivation is such that talent is important, but so is luck," another person said. "There’s nothing to pity or not pity, if Yang Xiaotian can’t become the Son of Dao Domain, then that’s just his fate!"
"His destiny is bound to be a whetstone on the path for Fang Jian to confirm his Dao."
Meng Bingxue frowned upon hearing those few people recklessly spouting off opinions.
Now, she was becoming increasingly intolerant of others speaking ill of her young master.
However, Yang Xiaotian held Meng Bingxue’s hand, shook his head at her, and signaled that it was okay.
After sitting for a while, the two left and continued their stroll.
After wandering around, Yang Xiaotian returned to his courtyard to continue cultivating.
Occasionally, Yang Xiaotian would check on the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce.
The Yang Family Chamber of Commerce was developing well, and if things continued this way, it wouldn’t be long before they could open a second branch in the Heavenly Dao Holy Land.
Several days passed, and there was only one day left before the competition for the Dao Domain.
Yang Xiaotian simply stopped cultivating and went with Meng Bingxue to play in the mountains and waters outside Heavenly Dao City. He operated the Flying Sword, taking Meng Bingxue soaring against the wind in the Nine Heavens, savoring the freedom of the breeze.
On the eve of the Dao Domain conflict, the usually bustling Heavenly Dao City instead seemed tranquil.
A different atmosphere was flowing through Heavenly Dao City.
Yang Xiaotian was sitting cross-legged in the air above the mansion’s rooftop, waiting for the sunrise.
When night passed and the sun tore through the dense dark, bathing Yang Xiaotian in its light, it seemed as if he was cloaked in layers of multicolored golden radiance.
The Sword Prison King, Li Zhi, and others were already waiting below for Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes, which shone like the sun itself, his brilliance unfolding as he stood up and leaped down.
"Let’s set off!"
Then, together with the Sword Prison King and a few others, he went to the front hall, joined Emperor Fenlei and Myriad Dao Sword Venerable, and headed for Ultimate Sword Peak.
Ultimate Sword Peak was located within Heavenly Dao City itself.
The Dao Domain conflict was set to be held at Ultimate Sword Peak.
As Yang Xiaotian and his group flew towards Ultimate Sword Peak, they encountered various strong figures along the way, many of whom recognized Yang Xiaotian and stopped to greet him.
"It’s Junior Mansion Master Yang!"
"Junior Mansion Master Yang!"
Many sect powerhouses and disciples bowed to Yang Xiaotian respectfully. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
In the distance, Chen Heng, along with the Kirin Clan, was also hurrying towards Ultimate Sword Peak. Seeing the strong figures bowing to Yang Xiaotian, his eyes turned cold.
In the City Lord’s Mansion of Heavenly Dao City, he had been blasted half to death by Yang Xiaotian, but after being treated by the Kirin Clan’s best efforts, his injuries had mostly healed.
"Do you know what to do once we enter Ultimate Sword Peak?" said Chen Heng fiercely to a disciple of the Kirin Clan by his side.
This disciple of the Kirin Clan was named Chen Ye, and he was one of the clan’s representatives in this Dao Domain conflict. Chen Ye’s strength was extraordinary, as he was in the late stage of God Emperor’s Tenth Layer.
"Rest assured, Young Clan Leader," Chen Ye replied respectfully.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian and his group flying towards Ultimate Sword Peak, the Kirin Clan members also set off towards it.
It didn’t take long for Yang Xiaotian to see a vast and immense Sword Peak.
The reason it was called Sword Peak was that it was entirely made from sword spirit god stones, filled with swirling Sword Qi, the whole peak resembling a giant broken sword piercing the vault of heaven.
Besides the astonishing Sword Qi, the entire space of Ultimate Sword Peak was filled with various extreme weathers; there were fierce winds, Nine Heaven Divine Thunders striking, and ice rain falling like arrows from time to time.
These winds, thunders, and ice arrows were tremendously powerful; even an ordinary high-level God Emperor of Ten Layers would be seriously injured if hit.
Therefore, the challenge of traversing Ultimate Sword Peak would be fraught with numerous difficulties.
Shortly after Yang Xiaotian arrived at Sword Peak, there was a tumultuous stir in the crowd, as Fang Jian and Fang Zhongshan along with a group of masters flew in from afar.
Although Yang Xiaotian had defeated Chen Heng at the City Lord’s Mansion, the calls for Fang Jian to take first place in the Dao Domain conflict were still the loudest. As a result, Fang Jian’s arrival excited the crowd.
Upon arriving, Fang Jian spotted Yang Xiaotian from afar and snorted coldly.
After Fang Zhongshan arrived, he ignored Emperor Fenlei and Myriad Dao Sword Venerable, and looked towards Yang Xiaotian with a smile, "I hear the business of Junior Mansion Master Yang’s chamber of commerce is thriving, so congratulations are in order."
Looking at Fang Zhongshan’s smile, which didn’t reach his eyes, Yang Xiaotian didn’t bother with him. Instead, he looked towards Ultimate Sword Peak. This peak was left by the former Lord of Dao Domain, and legend had it that the Inner Space of Ultimate Sword Peak held their ancestral Sword Dao legacy, though it remains to be seen whether this is true.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian ignore him, Fang Zhongshan’s face showed embarrassment, with fury and murderous intent flashing swiftly in his eyes.
Time passed, and soon, the Heavenly Dao City Lord, Zhu Ye, along with the masters of the City Lord’s Mansion, arrived.
This Dao Domain conflict would be presided over by the City Lord’s Mansion.
