Night of the Broken Gliph

The Stance gliphility was Fok Fung’s creation after going through the entire range of swordsmanship-related books in his clan and institution. This gliphility would be improved and collated into a complete set as Fok Fung grew as a cultivator.

At this point, there were only two moves to his self created gliphility. 

Fok Fung slightly lurched forward as though he was going to pounce on Lee Bak. But then, he raised the sharp sword in his right hand.

There was a loud sound of a sword being unsheathed, which was Fok Fung’s first move. This move was named Stance, signifying that the blade didn’t even need to be unsheathed for the sword intent to have an effect. And when it’s partially unleashed, the stance would be obvious.  

The disorganized and uncontrollable sword intent seemed to receive a sudden command and congealed into a giant, translucent sword that swung at Lee Bak!

Lee Bak narrowed his eyes. It was at this moment that he realized he had belittled the arrogant teen, who was born with the cries of innumerable swords.

Trembling, part of Lee Bak’s skin turned red and spread to his entire body. This was his Blood Body! At the same time, his sword lit up in crimson because Lee Bak also made use of his gliphility – Divine Blood Slash.

Energliph surged into Lee Bak’s sword from his body, which was strengthened greatly under Blood Body. This was the same attack that slashed the Northern genius Pak Lai Fung in half like a piece of cake.

Why did Lee Bak exert himself so quickly? Because he felt Fok Fung’s invincible sword intent. The best word to describe Fok Fung’s attack was “indomitable,” and Lee Bak clearly knew that such sword intent also carried a characteristic of draining enemies.

However, there were weaknesses to this frightening sword intent too. The sword intent started out extremely powerful, but nothing lasts forever. If Lee Bak successfully took down this overbearing sword intent, then he would have the upper hand from now on. Thus, he made use of his powerful gliphility from the start.

Blood-coloured light lit up his entire face, and a huge reflection rose from the ground and went for Fok Fung!

On the other side, translucent sword intent congealed into a terrifying sword and clashed with this attack!

Boom!!!

Lee Bak huffed and took a few steps back.

Yet Fok Fung seemed unaffected. He maintained his weird stance, and his sword was only half sticking out of the sheath.

“Hahaha!” He looked at the sky and laughed loudly. “Lee Bak, huh? Good Metallic Blood War Gate! That Suet Sing Fuk from the North was defeated after this move, but you’re worthy of witnessing the second move!” Yes, Fok Fung seemed fine after the collision, and the sword intent that dispersed congealed again into an even sharper attack!

The second move – Unsheathed!

Fok Fung had created two moves so far; the first move was Stance, where he only needed to be in stance to activate the attack, while Unsheathed recycled the sword intent from the previous move. It was a perfect combination that created a mighty effect!

As Fok Fung pulled out his sword, an even stronger sword intent could be felt! It was no longer just sword intent from the Sword Tomb body, but the combination of his body, his gliphility, and even his grade three Soul Destroying Sword!

Sword intent from a special body form, a powerful gliphility and energliph, as well as a grade three gliph weapon – such sword intent was truly fearsome.

Lee Bak cringed with slight fear. He felt that this attack could indeed injure him, yet he did not retreat. They were currently in the Metallic Blood Giant Tower, in other words, Lee Bak’s home court. He couldn’t retreat in his home base.

This was where he had his seclusion training after being taken in as Lung Wai Yuet’s disciple. The unbearable blood intent was nothing to him, like drinking and eating.

Lee Bak dashed forward with his left hand sticking out. The diamond-shaped shield blocking in front of him had a cloud-like gliph pattern that lit up as energliph was inserted into it, revealing its actual form – Reflection.

Boom! Sword intent clashed into the small, pentachromatic shield! Lee Bak was sent skidding backwards, leaving two tracks in the ground!

His face was completely pale and his body was trembling like he was suffering an unbearable pain. Solidified sword intent tried to enter his body from all directions, and only by hiding himself behind the shield could he avoid the pain. Despite this, he was still greatly surprised by the strong force.

Swords had always been the sharpest among all weapons, and most sword users had ice-cold personalities, mostly because of the style they cultivated. However, none of them were able to exert the true intent of a sword, unlike Fok Fung, who was born with his special body form.

Even behind a shield, the sharpness seemed to be piercing through Lee Bak!

However, the small, weak-looking shield was much more durable than it seemed. Despite the terrifying sword intent, it remained undamaged, and there was no way for any sword intent to get through it.

“What shield is that!?” Fok Fung wore an ugly expression, while Lee Bak gritted his teeth with a cold smile. “Reflect!”

Buzz!

The gliph on the small shield lit up greatly, and boom! A small concentrated beam of sword intent shot back at Fok Fung, leaving him throwing up blood!

The next second, he was wrapped in blood-coloured light and sent out of the tower!

“Wow!” The audience gasped instantly. They were unable to feel the energy wave, but the translucent sword intent was clear even through the broadcast. Yet this daunting sword intent was blocked by Lee Bak so easily that it couldn’t move forward at all. Even Sze Fung wore a smile on his face and laughed. He knew that this shield was created by Chui Yim, but the effects were way beyond his expectations; it was actually capable of blocking the sword aura of a grade three gliph weapon.

What he didn’t know was that when Chui Yim created this masterpiece, it was only because of a case of serendipity.

Chui Yim got his inspiration from the drawing of the legendary Mountain Toad, which emanated a special aura. And thanks to Chow Tai Fook’s generosity, Chui Yim was able to use as many precious ingredients as he wanted, so it was essentially a grade four item. 

Moreover, the smithing process was filled with danger. If not for his secret skill, the Nine Levels of Heaven’s Mark, the forging would have definitely failed. Chui Yim decided to use this skill, but this led to the cauldron exploding. Luckily, Sze Fung was there to save the day, minimizing any danger to Chui Yim.

It was fate that this gliph weapon was successful as Chui Yim wouldn’t be able to duplicate this process. This shield could be considered one of his best products even including his time on the Sallow Continent!

In comparison, the famous grade three Soul Destroying Sword was made with a soul-devouring tree, which absorbs energliph, making the weapon more suitable for drawn-out battles. Thus, the sword was unable to showcast it advantages during this quick battle.
