Seeking the Flying Sword Path

Chapter 668: Captured Alive

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

“What a ferocious strike.” Qin Yun and Goumang were astonished, but they did not waver at all. One of them reigned supreme in the Three Realms with his sword array while the other was a Chaos Wood God. Both of them could deal with the blow.

Rushou’s eyes, meanwhile, burned with fighting spirit. He extended his right hand as the golden light in his hand transformed into a large golden ax. He cleaved it towards the hammer that came slamming down like a mountain. The disparity in size was just too big. Rushou was only slightly more stout than Qin Yun and the golden ax he swung was only dozens of feet long. Compared to the hammer, it could not be any smaller.

Bam!

The collision produced visible shock waves that surged in every direction.

Rushou was thrown back from the clash as the towering giant only stumbled. He widened his eyes at the golden-armored Rushou. “What immense strength!”

“I’ve never been afraid of frontal clashes.” Rushou looked up and sneered. “Fool, your weaknesses only become more apparent at this size!”

Whoosh.

Rushou transformed into a golden afterimage due to his stunning speed. He arrived by the giant’s head and sliced across with the golden saber in his hand.

The giant barely turned his head to avoid the slash.

Whoosh.

Rushou flashed again as a sword stabbed down from above the giant’s head. In response, the giant hurriedly raised one palm to block and, with the sound of metal meeting flesh, the sword penetrated the palm. However, after the palm grew in size, it also turned thicker and had stronger defense. All Rushou’s golden sword did was stab about ten feet deep, barely ripping through the giant’s epidermal layer and touching only flesh.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Rushou was exceedingly fast. His means of close combat were unfathomable and the weapon in his hands changed constantly.

Sometimes he swung heavy weapons like an ax or hammer, other times he held a spear or a club.

There were even projectiles...

As Metal God who was ranked equal to Zhurong, Gonggong, Houtu, and Goumang, Rushou wielded the Connate Cardinal treasure Golden Tiger Claw. He studied the Connate Metal Great Dao and his means were famous for being unyielding and indomitably sharp! The Connate Cardinal treasure Golden Tiger Claw could undergo thousands of changes and transform into any weapon. Rushou could also perfectly wield any weapon. Even his archery skills were powered by his Connate Metal Great Dao. Its might was equally alarming.

“Boom!”

Rushou stood in midair with golden bow and arrow in hand. When he shot the arrow, it moved at such a fast speed that the giant failed to block it with his weapon. All he could do was turn to the side, causing the flesh and blood at his shoulder to blast apart, revealing a bloody hole ten feet wide. However, on the giant’s massive body, it remained inconspicuous.

“Transform.” Rushou’s eyes lit up as his arrow transformed into a tiny sword that burrowed deep into the giant’s body.

However, the injury at the giant’s shoulder rapidly healed. It constantly made it difficult for the tiny sword to penetrate deeper.

“His body is really strong, far stronger than Daoist Wen whom you killed, Sword Immortal Qin.” Rushou sent a voice transmission. “In the Three Realms, perhaps only that old bastard from the dragons can suppress him.”

“Very good. Your weapon is very powerful with all its myriad changes. Unfortunately, your strength is just slightly weaker than mine.” The giant roared with laughter, clearly satisfied with Rushou’s strength.

“Goumang, I need your help.” Rushou sent a voice transmission.

“Alright.”

Goumang nodded.

He stood in his spot and his vines began growing out from his body. Dozens of vines instantly grew extremely long as they bound the towering giant. With a sudden change in expression, the giant flailed his hammer, smashing, cleaving, sweeping... He employed various means, but the vines were extremely malleable and flexible. Regardless of his raging blows, the vines managed to distort and bind him.

They bound his feet, arms, waist, and throat...

He was bound everywhere.

When the giant shrank his body, the vines shrank with him.

When the giant dodged, the vines blocked his path.

The giant grabbed at vines, using his strength to yank them apart, but the other vines still extended over, quickly reconnecting with the torn vines.

Regardless of how he struggled, he ended up completely bound.

“No, no—” The giant failed to escape the restraint and involuntarily collapsed to the ground, crushing many buildings in the process. His hammer felt to the side as he struggled with all his might. His immense strength caused cracks to appear in the vines, but they contained endless vitality, so the cracks was instantly healed.

“His strength is greater than mine, and his body is stronger. Unfortunately, everything has its vanquisher. No amount of struggle is useful when you meet Brother Goumang.” Rushou laughed.

Goumang smiled as well. “He’s still struggling. I have to use more strength to ensnare him.” Three vines grew out from his body and wrapped the lofty giant, preventing him from resisting any further. A total of 43 vines bound him and all his furious shouts and struggles were futile.

“It looks like there’s no need for me.” Qin Yun laughed as he watched this play out before him. “Brother Goumang easily took him down.”

“I only happened to be his nemesis,” said Goumang. “However, his resistance is still very impressive. Rushou, I have already ensnared him. Kill him while he can’t resist. We still need to return and you don’t expect me to keep him trapped for 68 years, right? That would be exhausting.”

The maintaining of the ensnarement indeed drained him greatly.

“Alright.”

Rushou nodded. He extended his hand as countless beads of golden sand appeared above his palm before flying towards the towering giant.

By the side, Goumang introduced the sand to Qin Yun. “Rushou’s Connate Cardinal treasure, Golden Tiger Claw, has a myriad transformations. And in this golden sand form, its best at wearing down those with strong bodies. Eventually, these bodies will be ground to dust.”

“Chi! Chi! Chi!”

Countless grains of golden sand burrowed through the giant’s nostrils, but were soon met with an obstruction.

“He can change the internal structure of his body. He completely sealed off his nasal passageways.” Rushou laughed. “But it’s futile. Even rocks can be penetrated by dripping water. The golden sand can weather anything, it will definitely be able to enter your body and destroy you.”

The golden sand burrowed in the direction of his chest.

Soon, a hole was drilled open. However, after the towering giant increased in size, the veins and muscles at his chest were thousands of feet thick. As the golden sand drilled down, the muscles constantly recovered and squeezed at the golden sand.

“T-this...” Rushou revealed a look of alarm. “He has been ensnared to the point of zero resistance; yet, I’m unable to drill through his body?”

“Hahaha, this is an innate talent of mine.” The giant continue laughing despite being bound. “After my gigantification, my body’s defense will be more than ten times stronger. You can capture me alive, but you can forget about killing me. Also, you who’s good at restraintment, you will need to continuously expend energy to hold me down. I’ll be free when you are exhausted of your energy.”

“What do we do?” Rushou looked at Goumang and Qin Yun.

“I won’t be able to kill him if you can’t. It took me months to kill Daoist Wen. His body is a lot more powerful than Daoist Wen’s.” Qin Yun shook his head.

Goumang said helplessly as well, “Since we can’t kill him, the only way is to take him back while restraining him. I can still afford the Dharmic power expenditure for 68 years.”

As a Wood God, he had immense Dharmic powers.

“I’ll have to trouble you then, Brother Goumang,” said Rushou.

“That’s it? That’s the end?” Qin Yun was astonished, but he also felt relieved. It was indeed considered easy. All he did was cast his Misty Rain domain to help defend against the black water, and Goumang captured the enemy alive.

Although the bound giant was roaring angrily on the surface and struggling, he was, in fact, observing the trio. “Among these three prey, the one who engaged in close combat with me has a very strong body. He’s just slightly weaker than me. And this one that bound me should have a plant as his true form. His vitality is in no way inferior to mine. He’s the most difficult to deal with. Instead, it’s the one who’s good at domains that appears to have a soul body. He has the weakest body of the three. He hid the furthest in this battle. He should be the easiest to kill.”
