Chapter 812: Worsened Situation
In the beginning, Qin Wushuang was not in a rush to have them practice the sword formations. Instead, he would have them practice mutual understandings and become familiar with the swords Qin Wushuang bestowed to them.
This was the fundamental skill. After having formed a mutual understanding with the Supreme Dao weapon and integrating with it, they could enter the training for the next section.
Training would include the integration between the puppets and swords, the mutual understanding, communication, and the integration between them and Qin Wushuang.
These things would be achieved step after step. It was impossible to achieve instant success.
Qin Wushuang was not in a rush for quick success. After the fundamental skills became solid, he began to teach them sword techniques. These sword techniques did not showcase any garish aspects and were all extremely useful techniques.
Each sword move emphasized collaboration. These were definitely not just purely individual attacks for they did not have anything to show off. They were for the sole purpose of this formation.
To put it precisely, this sword formation was a killing formation. It’s objective was to kill people and to defeat enemies.
All the sword moves and techniques were serving this objective.
Qin Wushuang decided to let them train by themselves for three months. After three months, they would begin to join together to train the sword formation. Three months of fundamental work would be sufficient.
The more Qin Wushuang studied this Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation, the more he felt it to be profound and powerful. Even for nine martial artists at the First Calamity of the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage, if they could collaborate well with this formation and reach its peak state, not to mention defeating a Genuine Supreme Dao warrior, it would be as easy as pie when facing ordinary Sixth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao warriors. As for those beneath the Sixth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, they could kill them instantly!
For every two to three months, Qin Wushuang would appear at the Heavenly Fire Southern Border through the transportation channel and stir up some trouble. To speak bluntly, it was to bump up his existence.
Of course, there was only one purpose to do this, to make the Heavenly Emperor Gate believe that he was at the Heavenly Fire Southern Border.
The timing in which he disappeared and appeared unpredictably caused the Heavenly Emperor party to feel incredibly unwell.
Before the Aspiring Throne Mountain, all Supreme Dao elite warriors of the Heavenly Emperor party returned to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.
Xin Tianwen revealed a gloomy expression. Clearly, over the past six months, he felt even more depressed. He sent out elite warriors to pursue the Heavenly Fire Southern Border, yet they did not even touch the shadow of the other party.
When they left, that kid appeared to wander again.
When it happened repeatedly and continuously, in the end they did not even have the chance to see him face to face.
Xin Tianwen felt he was fooled.
“Your majesty, why did you summon us back? I heard that Qin Wushuang kid appeared again recently. He only appears in those few places. I feel...” Xin Tianwu tried to voice her opinion.
Xin Tianwen waved his hand and said with an extremely determined tone, “Anyways, no need to search for him.”
“Why?” Xin Tianwu felt incredibly unconvinced.
“Daoist Tianwu...” Lei Yue said with a bitter smile, “Clearly, that kid is deliberately trying to fool us, to attract our attention and to scatter our forces. It would make us unable to deal with the Qin Clan with full concentration.”
“Humph, for the Aspiring Throne Mountain side, we have his majesty overseeing it personally. It would not influence the situation much with us here or not.” Xin Tianwu also had her reasons.
Xin Tianwen said lightly, “Unquestionably that Qin Wushuang used such strategy to scatter our vision. As for his motive, it would not be important. Now, our most crucial task is to break the mountain protecting formation of the Aspiring Throne Mountain. Currently, the Nirvana Heavenly Plow has already cut open a giant opening through the underground ley lines. At most in two years, the formation at the Aspiring Throne Mountain will be broken! In two years, no matter how great that Qin Wushuang can turn the tide, we won’t have to worry about him.”
“Your majesty, I am just afraid that kid will appear unpredictably to launch a sneak attack against our Heavenly Emperor Gate and these ally sects.”
As soon as Xin Tianwu said these words, all those three neutral sects were prostrated with fear. They were most terrified not by the counterattack of the Qin Clan, but by an elite warrior as Qin Wushuang who would turn in the darkness from the light to deal with them. They were afraid of him targeting and striking them down.
It was impossible to defend effectively.
Xin Tianwu said with a wry smile, “Tianwu, don’t worry about this. Now, the intelligence network of the Xuan Yuan Mound has been activated. It’s much more reliable than that inescapable net. As long as that Qin Wushuang appears at the Xuan Yuan Mound, even if he were to transform into a light breeze, there will be abnormal movements. Don’t worry, it’s impossible for him to arrive at the hinterland of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain without making any sound. It would not take a day or two for him to return to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain from the Heavenly Fire Southern Border.”
“Ah, in the end I just feel unreconciled by letting that kid be unfettered and beyond the law.” Xin Tianwu gave a long sigh, yet she knew that she could not defy the order of his majesty.
“Tianchen, for the Yun Clan, go and issue another imperial decree. Tell them that they can still make it if they are to join us now. It would be too late to join us when the Qin Clan gets conquered within sight.”
Heavenly Emperor Xin Tianwen’s tone was emotionless and as cold as the devil.
Xin Tianchen said happily, “Yes, your majesty, I will go now.”
This was something he enjoyed doing. Usually that Yun Clan was acting all straightforward and careless for they seemed to have not put the Heavenly Emperor Gate in their eye.
However, the current situation was nothing like in the past. The power of the Yun Clan was not enough to influence the unity of the Heavenly Emperor party. There were six powerful sects at the Heavenly Emperor side.
Under the current situation, the Qin Clan was already at their last grasp. Even if the Yun Clan were to join hands with the Qin Clan, now they had lost their best opportunity.
It would almost be hopeless if the Qin and the Yun Clan wanted to turn the tables.
Therefore, Xin Tianwen was extremely proud of his success to warn the Yun Clan. He was to give an initial show of strength to them.
Inside the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, of course the most troublesome figures were from the Qin Clan.
The Yun Clan ranked number two.
Even if the Yun and Qin Clan joined hands, their strength would be far less than the Heavenly Emperor side. Therefore, Xin Tianwen was full of confidence.
However, the response from the Yun Clan already caused Xin Tianwen to be filled with fury.
Xin Tianchen already bought back news after going out for half a day. The Yun Clan was already showing uninterested reactions as if they did not care how the Heavenly Emperor Gate was enticing them.
“Your majesty, that Yun Clan is really treacherous. Do you know what that Yun Xuechen said?” Xin Tianchen said angrily.
“What did he say?” Xin Tianwen asked coldly.
“He said that when our Xin Clan faces the Qin Clan, it would be too late to intimidate the Yun Clan. Humph, could that old man feel we cannot take care of the Qin Clan?”
“Did you not tell him the current situation of the Qin Clan?”
“I did!” Xin Tianchen felt incredibly innocent. “Of course I did. However, that Yun Xuechen did not even bat his eyelid. From his expression, he still did not feel that the Qin Clan will fall.”
The Qin would not fall? A burst of fierce murderous intention flashed through Xin Tianwen’s brows. He shouted, “Pass my order, prepare for battle. Even if I am to risk to sacrifice my divine soul to the Nirvana Heavenly Plow, to fight a bloody battle with that Qin Xiaotian in terms of our divine soul, I must break their defenses!”
“Yes!”
All the Supreme Dao elite warriors answered to the order of the Heavenly Emperor side. When attacking the Aspiring Throne Mountain and annihilating the Qin Clan, the advantages to be gained were needless to be spoken.
Since Heavenly Emperor Xin Tianwen already promised everyone that they could kill and seize things at will after entering the Qin Clan’s territory, this posed as a great attraction.
The change of strategy from the Heavenly Emperor party made Qin Wushuang and his friends to be somewhat surprised.
Qin Shaohong said angrily, ‘This has only been half a year, just six months, they already broke through? In this case, our strategy lost its effects completely.”
Qin Taichong disapproved, “No strategies stay the same. When this strategy is useless, we can change it. Now the Heavenly Emperor party is determined to destroy the Qin Clan and to attack the Aspiring Throne Mountain. Wushuang, do you have any other intelligent ideas?”
Although half a year was not long, the change of situation put the Qin Clan into an even tougher situation. Theoretically, the Qin Clan could hold on for three years. Yet now, after half a year passed, the situation turned even worse, more than they had imagined.
After a moment of silence, a burst of blood and vital breath surged up to Qin Wushuang’s heart as he said, “If that Xin Tianwen were to risk everything to sacrifice that divine weapon and fight to death with our Head Chief with his divine soul, this might not be bad news!”
“Oh?”
“Could it be good news? If the divine soul is used to sacrifice for the divine weapon and receives a burst of power upgrade in a short time, perhaps it will be difficult for our ley lines to hold on!”
“Everyone, if that Xin Tianwen risks injuring his divine soul and forcefully make his way through, why should we stay in hiding?”
Yes, Qin Wushuang was only restraining his fear against Xin Tianwen alone. Inside the Heavenly Emperor party, besides Xin Tianwen, no one was above the Sixth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage.
For such existences, they could not form any threat to Qin Wushuang. Everything Qin Wushuang did in these three years of solitary training was that he used Xin Tianwen as the imaginary enemy.
If Xin Tianwen would risk injuring his divine soul, how could Qin Wushuang restrain his fear against him? In these ten years, he only passed two calamities.
Second Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage was still far away from the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. Certainly Qin Wushuang would not possess much of a winning chance if fighting head-on. Yet if he were to get injured, Qin Wushuang would be fearless.
The power unleashed by a Second Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao warrior with an injured divine soul would not be more than fifty percent. Even if Qin Wushuang could not defeat him, certainly it would not be a problem to deal with him.
Although only six months had passed out of the three years of solitary training, Qin Wushuang’s strength also changed with the overall trend. He was not dwelling at the same place.
It was one thing that his own strength was improved, yet the training with the Great Five Attributes Reincarnation Seal and the Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation gave Qin Wushuang more confidence.
Now, regardless of fighting head-on or launching a long-distance attack, Qin Wushuang was equipped from head to toe. He could also be said of having first-tier power.
Of course, this was only Qin Wushuang’s plan. Unless in the worst possible scenario, of course Qin Wushuang could keep cool.
Now, he must treasure each day. He would even want to split open the twenty-four hours of each day in half. In this case, another six months passed.
In these six months, although the Qin Clan was tossed by the wind and rain, Qin Xiaotian’s stubborn resistance allowed their flame of hope to hold on. Although it kept getting tossed around, it did not extinguish.
In these six months, Qin Wushuang’s strength upgraded another level. He successfully passed the Fourth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage and entered the intermediate level of the Transformation Supreme Dao.
