Chapter 324 The Sun and Moon in the Palm
It was not the first time Military Counselor had seen Summer Solstice.
He was the Second Super Master in Samsara Palace.
But if he took off his cloak and came to Mount Dibing, the hostess of the Wang family of Beihai, no matter how disregardful she was to the world affairs, must accompany Wang Tianzong to greet him.
That was the least respect.
Military Counselor had been to Mount Dibing before.
So in his eyes, Summer Solstice was a naive, lively, and clever woman.
She was not scheming at all. Even if she was now middle-aged, she was carefree, and her heart was still crystal clear. She was a woman who had been carefully protected or even spoiled by Wang Tianzong. She simply seemed to live in a fairy tale world.
That was the Summer Solstice in the eyes of Military Counselor.
But now...
Looking at the woman standing quietly above Emperor Hall, Military Counselor even felt himself hallucinating.
Summer Solstice didn’t play any tricks.
But she had a sword.
The sword bought her majesty.
The unspeakable mighty and majesty.
The darkness of the night utterly receded before Emperor Hall. The dim sword light silently extended to every space in front of the hall. A great deal of sword light gathered and did not scatter, forming a setting sun above Summer Solstice directly. The setting sun grew increasingly blazing, so the sword intent became purer.
She was the other expert at the Peak of the Invincible Realm in the Wang family of Beihai.
The hostess, who had always played the role of a stupid and sweet lady in the Wang family of Beihai, may not really be interested in scheming and had always enjoyed Wang Tianzong’s indulgence. It seemed as if she had really done nothing for the Wang family of Beihai.
She didn’t need to do anything.
Just as Wang Tianzong said—she was beautiful, skilled at cooking, and could tend the house.
Wasn’t that what a real hostess should be?
Even if she did not do anything, as long as she stayed on Mount Dibing, no matter where Wang Tianzong went, he would have no worries.
And she really didn’t do anything?
No one knew that.
But at least Wang Tianzong knew.
Years ago, he was about to break through to the Invincible Realm. If Summer Solstice had not gone to the border and served as another crucial Invincible Realm Expert that sieged Li Kuangtu, the one who committed treason might not have been the Li family but the Wang family of Beihai!
Had she not, at the very beginning, burst with all her might to shatter the murderous weapon Infinite Sky in Li Kuangtu’s hand, she would not have been shot down from the Invincible Realm and have even sustained a severe wound that never healed.
She was now still injured.
But in Wang Tianzong’s absence, she could still draw her sword.
She had fallen down from the Invincible Realm, and her foundation utterly loosened, but she had twenty years of accumulation. Now she drew her sword again. Even if she was in a special state, the sword intent her sword exuded was still at the Peak of the Invincible Realm!
Summer Solstice stretched out, and her long white fingers took the sword behind her.
It was the Wang family of Beihai’s famous sword, which had not shown up for many years. The body of the sword was long and simple.
The sword was named Autumn Water.
The dim light of the sword scattered and enveloped every corner in front of Emperor Hall.
The Men of Sacrifice, determined to die, still charged forward.
Everyone recognized Summer Solstice’s sword move.
In the dim light of the sword, it was one of the 24 Moves of Sword that belonged to the Li family.
The Ninth Blade of Eventide.
It would be indescribably ironic and tragic for them to die under this sword move, given their backgrounds.
The lightning between the dim sky and earth became frenzied for a moment.
Faint blue flashes of lightning were wandering densely, as if to tear the whole dusk apart.
Summer Solstice abruptly held the hilt of her sword.
The sound of the long sword coming out of its sheath echoed over Mount Dibing.
The setting sun, which converged at the end of the hilt, suddenly rose again.
The night had wholly dispersed.
The top of Mount Dibing was all dusk.
The dusk stirred gently. All the lightning was directly suppressed, forever silent.
The sword Autumn Water was unsheathed behind Summer Solstice.
The sword light was as bright as snow.
The sword intent surged again.
The dim light of the sword seemed soft, but it silently twisted the armors of all the Men of Sacrifice.
Blood spurted from inside the armors and looked ghastly cruel against the yellow dusk.
The only group of Men of Sacrifice left was still charging.
Even if they were going to die, they would rather die on the charge.
There was no change in Summer Solstice’s cold and dignified expression. However, her fine brows furrowed a little.
The long sword Autumn Water was utterly out of its sheath.
The sword light was glaring.
The yellow twilight suddenly went disorderly and raging. High up in the sky, the setting sun, which had gathered a lot of intense Sword Energy, rose straight up with the shining sword light.
The twilight dissipated in the disturbance.
The radiance on Mount Dibing grew several times bright. It suppressed the lights and became more and more shining.
It was late at night in Beihai Province.
But the real light was shining on Mount Dibing.
Sunshine!
The setting sun converged by the sword intent finally turned into a burning sun.
Flowers blossomed under the burning sun.
Summer Solstice’s graceful body rotated wildly with the sword, like a grand but extremely dangerous dance.
The billowy sword light spread.
Summer Solstice rotated faster and faster. The burning sun high above the sky had disappeared entirely, and Mount Dibing was brighter.
There was a flame at the tip of Summer Solstice’s sword.
The flame abruptly made a wave of fire that could cover everything while she was dancing.
The sky was filled with sword light and the raging fire that annihilated everything.
The last group of Men of Sacrifice was swallowed up directly by the fire wave and turned into nothingness amidst the sword intent all over the sky before they could have time to make any movement.
The Eighth Blade · Burning Sky.
Summer Solstice’s body shook.
The spreading raging fire began to gather toward her.
At the top of Mount Dibing and amidst the gathering raging fire, a figure in the guise of snow suddenly flew up.
The moment the snowy, chilly sword light shone, raging lightning spread over Mount Dibing!
The violent and faint blue bolts of lightning covered everything without warning.
The moment Summer Solstice withdrew her sword and was relaxed, the real raid and assassination began.
No one cared whether the means were insidious or contemptible. The timing was perfect.
Saint ripped open his alloy armor.
It was his fastest and also strongest sword move.
The sword intent of this move was still at the Peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm, but its destructive power was equal to one at the Invincible Realm.
Military Counselor was slightly slower than Saint.
General and Duke charged forward side by side.
Lightning.
There was nothing except lightning.
The lightning all over the mountain connected, like a sky that covered the night, shrouding directly toward Summer Solstice.
Summer Solstice’s dress fluttered wildly in the raging sword intent.
She gripped the sword Autumn Water in her hand, with its tip pointing downward, and fiercely thrust it into Emperor Hall at her feet.
Since her appearance, she had only made three moves.
The moment she made the third move, her aura became weak in an instant.
But the intangible sword intent shattered the lightning in the blink of an eye.
The setting sun dissipated.
The burning sun dissipated.
The lightning dissipated.
The purest and deepest blackness reigned the top of Mount Dibing. Only the sword intent was roaring and whizzing in the quietest darkness.
The unique skill of the Wang family of Beihai.
Sword of King Path!
The sound of weapons breaking was clearly heard in the intense black.
The sword light swept over Mount Dibing.
The lightning flashed for a moment in the darkness and then disappeared completely.
Summer Solstice pressed her red lips tightly and suppressed her urge to vomit blood.
Her cold eyes looked directly at the east of Mount Dibing.
In the restored calm of the night, two figures, each carrying a figure, staggered into the night.
The wind was blowing over Mount Dibing.
The sound of the waves below became distinct.
The corners of Summer Solstice’s mouth moved. She was no longer able to hold the blood in her mouth back and directly spat it out, dying the eaves of Emperor Hall red.
She looked at her own blood with mixed emotions.
Tonight’s sneak attack was nothing to her.
She was at the Peak of the Invincible Realm.
Almost no one could hurt her except those of her rank.
No one hurt her tonight.
But her body could no longer bear her sword intent.
Summer Solstice sighed gently. Her figure flickered back into Emperor Hall.
The internal security forces of the Wang family of Beihai with the fastest reaction time had already dashed to the top of the mountain.
But all they could see were the slowly closing doors of Emperor Hall.
“It is over.”
Summer Solstice’s cold and indifferent voice came from inside. “Don’t inform Tianzong.”
The Sword Energy on Mount Dibing dissipated wholly.
But the Sword Energy on Lonely Mountain had reached its peak.
The sword intent was as immense as the sea.
The sea stretched away to meet the sky.
In the deep, silent darkness, everything seemed to have vanished, including Lonely Mountain and West Lake.
All that was left was a sea of frenzied swords.
Vibrated.
The whole Lonely Mountain trembled under the full fury of the sword intent. The entire sea of swords had gone completely crazy, and boundless sword intent fell from the sky. The Sword Energy rose high into the air and remained unbroken. The mighty shadows of swords shuttled between every corner of Lonely Mountain.
The trees and flowers that had once been nourished by the dragon vein on Lonely Mountain had been wholly broken and disappeared amidst the turbulence of the sea of swords. The once lush green Lonely Mountain was now bare. The mountain was gradually cracking, ravaged by the sword intent. Nonetheless, the endless shadows of swords seemed not to dissipate or decrease at all. Instead, the shadows just kept increasing.
Li Honghe advanced slowly through the sea of swords.
His pace was very steady but very slow.
He did not know where Wang Tianzong was.
But he was aware of Wang Tianzong’s character.
So he went straight ahead.
Wherever Wang Tianzong was, he could see him as long as he went to the end.
The sword intent was like a tsunami.
A tidal wave flowed.
And then it ebbed.
Li Honghe had walked a hundred meters in the sea of swords.
His body had always been shining.
The extremely intense sword intent had become the purest light.
Li Honghe was like a mass of light in the sea of swords.
He was advancing.
The sea of swords, however, was retreating.
Lonely Mountain, ravaged by endless Sword Energy, had changed beyond recognition.
Everything, including flowers, trees, and wooden houses, had disappeared. Everywhere the Sword Energy passed through, the land dried up completely, and all the water was evaporated entirely. One crack after another appeared in the dry land, spreading from the top of the mountain to the bottom.
The Li family’s cemetery was the only intact place on Lonely Mountain.
Li Honghe was standing in front of the cemetery.
He was moving forward.
The sea of swords was retreating.
Tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of sword shadows struck unreservedly on the mass of light around Li Honghe.
Patches of blood bloomed all over Li Honghe.
But the sea of swords, overwhelming Lonely Mountain, had been retreating.
It just kept retreating.
Countless shadows of swords swayed and were thrown high into the air in disorder and fell again.
Shadows of the sword kept increasing.
The light around Li Honghe grew brighter and brighter.
All the shadows of swords were forcibly sent flying as he passed.
There was already a colossal wave with a height of thousands of meters standing in front of Li Honghe.
It was composed of swords.
The number would drive anyone to despair.
The blades flickered with a dark and deep light, surrounded by the Sword Energy. The reincarnation seemed endless.
The Sword Energy was as immense as the sea.
It wasn’t Wang Tianzong’s Six Paths of Reincarnation.
But he made this move with all his might.
Given the mighty Sword Energy emanated from this sword move alone, he deserved the top spot on the Divine List.
Li Honghe was still moving forward.
His speed increased gradually.
So the sea of swords retreated, while the gigantic wave rose higher and higher in the front.
Thousands of meters.
Higher and higher.
It seemed to reach the sky.
Li Honghe walked silently.
The light all over him was constantly shining, as if he was going to turn over the sea of swords alone.
Like a storm and yet a colossal wave, the sea of swords shocked the world with its might and flowed on without stopping.
Li Honghe was bleeding more and more.
His aura began to weaken, but the sword intent around him grew stronger.
Li Tianlan watched all this quietly.
Before him, the sea of swords was driven back by Li Honghe.
Li Tianlan’s location was perfectly safe.
He watched the tidal sword light sweep across the world.
He watched the blood pour out of his grandfather’s body.
He watched the sky-splitting billow rise.
He watched the sword shadows fall apart and reunite.
He just watched all these.
The look in his eyes was calm.
Without the slightest emotion.
It was the Break of Reincarnation he had never seen before.
The Sword Energy was as plentiful as the water in the sea.
Li Honghe, however, had the power to turn over the whole sea of swords.
Li Tianlan had foreseen the end of this battle.
There was no face-to-face combat in this battle.
It was purely a contest between sword intent and Sword Energy.
His grandfather could turn over the sea of swords, but he could not crush it.
When the whole sea of swords was overturned, it was also the moment when the sea of swords was entirely reversed.
Then the sea would become the sky.
And the unprecedented sword intent would burst out in the most brilliant fashion.
Li Tianlan did not know what he could do at that time.
But he wanted to give it a try, and he had to try.
Li Honghe’s speed was getting faster and faster.
Around him, the light that had formed from the sword intent gradually became erratic.
But amongst the light, the sword intent suddenly became much messier and stronger than before.
In front of him, the shadows of swords flew backward, like fallen leaves drifting profusely and disorderly.
A long, clear cry suddenly sounded in the sea of heavy swords.
The cry came from the foot of Lonely Mountain.
But the sound which was loud enough to split the stone reached the top of the mountain in an instant.
The person at the foot of the mountain climbed up.
Sword shadows all over Lonely Mountain surged down at the same time.
Standing in the position of Li Honghe, he could not see Situ Cangyue under the mountain.
But in the twinkling of an eye, he was able to grasp the change of the sea of swords below the mountain.
In a flash, the pure light of eternity shone upon him, and the incomparably harsh light glared in the boundless sea of swords. The figure of Li Honghe rose suddenly into the sky.
His figure moved on.
The pure light spread wantonly before him. The whole Lonely Mountain suddenly became a world of black and white.
Li Honghe flew in the sea of swords with great momentum.
He had no sword in his hand, but he had become one of the sharpest.
The light of eternity broke in the darkness.
The sword intent gathered around Li Honghe, leaving an aura of fierceness.
The Twenty-third Blade · Break of Eternity.
The endless sea of swords was more raging than ever. The neat shadows of swords were swept flying by the sword intent that was condensed to the extreme, flying into the sky in disorder.
The shadows of swords converged like crazy, striking on the sword intent all over Li Honghe’s body without stopping, and then were swept away. The sea surface was undulating, and the whole sea was rising.
Li Honghe was moving forward.
He kept advancing.
He seemed to have thoroughly incarnated into a sword.
The sea of swords was lifted by force, and the towering wave rushed high into the sky.
Without a pause, Li Honghe rushed straight to the end of the sea.
Wang Tianzong was not at the end of the sea.
But Li Honghe saw Situ Cangyue covered with blood.
The shadows of swords around Situ Cangyue rose.
The whole sea of swords rose after a little disorder.
One sword shadow after another was arranged neatly again.
The sea of swords became the sky.
A vast sky of thousands of meters covered the whole Lonely Mountain.
Looking up, the shadows of swords hanging upside down were dense, spreading all over the sky.
Li Honghe’s aura grew weak, and there was only gravity in his eyes.
A breeze was blowing on Lonely Mountain.
The endless shadows of swords in the sky glimmered in the wind.
The shadows of swords shone one by one.
Faint, sharp, and cold.
The light occupied Li Honghe’s view, like stars.
Wang Tianzong’s voice finally sounded again in the void, his words simple.
“Goodbye, Senior Li.”
The stars began to fall, like a river of collapsing stars.
Li Tianlan’s face changed drastically, and he took a step forward subconsciously.
All of a sudden, a vague sigh was heard in the dense stars.
Then a kind of sword intent, almost like the river of stars, but not quite like it, appeared on Lonely Mountain and at Li Honghe’s side without any signs.
The stars were falling.
The ground lit up.
It was so bright that it covered almost everything.
The river of stars above was so vast, and the light below was so distant.
The light and the falling stars blended without stopping, neither advancing nor retreating.
The harsh light gradually became soft and cold.
A tall, handsome figure appeared before Li Honghe and Situ Cangyue. He was bathed in the light, having the two entirely behind him.
The shining stars were still falling with great determination.
A cold, soft light enveloped the entire Lonely Mountain, shining and surging against the falling stars.
The light was as cold as the moon, holding the falling stars in the sky.
“Hmph!”
In the void, Wang Tianzong’s voice sounded again, with an overtone of fury. “Fengting, are you going to intervene?”
Lin Fengting!
Li Tianlan was stunned.
So was Situ Cangyue.
Everyone in the Li family was in a daze.
“I have no choice.”
In the light, the sound of Lin Fengting rang out.
His voice was as calm and unemotional as his mood.
Wang Tianzong fell silent.
He knew the meaning of the statement that he had no choice.
If he had no choice, he had no way out. Then everything he did was a must.
Wang Tianzong’s figure appeared above the sky.
The star-like shadows of swords were still falling madly.
Wang Tianzong stood high in the sky as if his feet were on stars.
He glanced at Lin Fengting.
Amidst the light, even if he could not see the expression of Lin Fengting.
His figure fell a little.
The shining shadows of swords became as black as ink for an instant.
That was the deepest and purest black.
The vast night sky seemed to have been torn apart by force in the twinkling of an eye, and it began to rain.
It was the worst storm the Dark World had encountered in decades.
The rain poured down.
Lin Fengting was still standing in situ.
But the light of sword intent around him was rising.
The light changed continuously and finally turned into the holiest milky white.
The milky white light shrouded the whole Lonely Mountain and continued to move upward, like a torrent of white water breaking through the darkness.
Lin Fengting stretched out.
His five fingers were all open, as if everything was in control.
The milky white light was completely scattered with his movements and was suddenly divided into two long rivers flowing in the void.
The rivers ran across the night sky, with distinct colors.
One was as cold as the moon.
The other was as blazing as the sun.
At the same time, the sun and moon’s rays spread wildly in a dark black tide.
Lonely Mountain in the darkness was suddenly as bright as in the daytime.
The sun and the moon mingled, rising and falling in the overwhelming black tide.
The black tide was still surging.
The sun and moon never fell.
