The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 40's. Mahaguru Competition

Lenhao drew his sword towards Xinglau, but it was easily brushed off by Xinglau. All of the moves Lenhao used were moves he learned from Xinglau, so Xinglau easily gave a counterattack to Lenhao.

"Sir Lenhao, if you continue like this, I'm afraid it will make you a cripple for life"

After repelling and netting numerous attacks on Lenhao's body, Xinglau became very happy, thinking he would maim Lenhao and make Xingjiang his son, the vice-leader of the college.

"Try it if you can!!"

Lenhao did not give up, although there were now many wounds lodged in his body, and only a few of his attacks had managed to injure Xinglau, Lenhao continued to fight back.

Lenhao charged forward and attacked with his sword moves,

*Trang*

*Trang*

Every attack of Lenhao was repelled by Xinglau.

Hundreds of exchange attacks later, Lenhao was hit by Xinglau's kick, as he dodged Xinglau's sword slash attack. He was knocked back and fell deep into the corner of the arena.

Xinglau and his support group laughed happily at Lenhao's current state of falling far into the corner of the arena, some of them shouting for Lenhao to surrender and hand over the position of Mahaguru to Xinglau.

"Sister, you cannot lose...! Grandfather was probably poisoned by him. You have to save the Len breed and the college from people like that"

Whisper Lenchan, when he saw his brother was knocked back and fell in the corner of the arena.

Lenchan was sure her brother had yet to bring out all of his martial skills, otherwise, why would his brother be known as the Dark King in the martial world.

"What's!? Grandpa's poisoned? Damn it !!"

Sahut Lenhao whispered with a slight tone of great anger. Lenhao just found out about it.

Lenhao believed Lenchan's words, because he knew her character well. If it was related to the truth, his sister would never cover it up.

Lenhao got up and threw away the sword he had in his hand,

*Clange*

The sword fell out of the arena.

Xingjiang and Xingniu smiled faintly, they thought Lenhao had given up, for throwing his sword out of the arena.

"Hehehe, Lenhao, did you give up?... But it's a pity that if you give up now, I won't let you, let's continue a little bit more"

Xinglau said with a sumringah.

Xinglau also thought the same thing, seeing Lenhao throw his sword out of the arena, he thought Lenhao had given up.

Lenhao simply stood up and remained silent, he now looked at Xinglau with a hateful gaze. Lenhao did not respond to what Xinglau and her supporters had said.

Xinglau took advantage of the opportunity as Lenhao stood still without a weapon to launch an attack. Xinglau drew her sword towards Lenhao.

"Giant Sword Rows"

This sword move made Xinglau look like he was attacking with a giant sword, his profound strength coated the entire sword and made the sword force become many times stronger, this made the sword seem extremely large, indeed, like a giant sword.

*crash*

*Grep*

The sword precisely slashed at Lenhao's right shoulder, but Xinglau's sword attack could not injure Lenhao's shoulder, as Lenhao's right hand held back the sword attack.

*Thes*

*Thes*

Blood poured out from Lenhao's right hand which held back Xinglau's sword slash attack.

"You...!? How can you withstand this attack !?"

Xinglau surprised.

Xinglau was confident that with his sword attack, he should have cut off Lenhao's right arm and left Lenhao deformed. But it turned out that Lenhao was able to withstand that sword attack, even with just one hand.

As Xinglau watched Lenhao's left arm, it turned out that his left arm, had already formed a hand seal. Lenhao absorbed the heaven and earth origin energy around him very quickly.

"What the fuck? How can you cultivate with this fast absorption rate ?"

Xinglau now realized that the deep power she was pouring into her sword attack was being absorbed completely by Lenhao.

- What energy is this? This was not the level of the King Book, was it not that he cultivated energy with the Black Cloud King Book?-

Thought Xinglau.

It could be said that Xinglau was an indirect teacher of Lenhao. He remembered, Lenming gave Lenhao the Book of the Black Cloud King to cultivate the energy cultivation in that Book of Kings. Xinglau herself taught Lenhao how to cultivate the book, at Lenming's behest.

Xinglau pulled back her sword and retreated away from Lenhao, her inner strength already being absorbed by Lenhao.

- What is this? Why is the energy absorption so fast?-

The elders of the two groups were astonished by Lenhao's energy cultivation which could absorb heaven and earth origin energy ten times faster than their energy cultivation.

Therefore, those elders finally realized why Lenhao could reach the high cultivation realm at a younger age than them.

The average age of the elders in the Forbidden Land College was 60 years and above, excluding Lenhao who had managed to reach the Human God realm at the age of 47, so he was considered to be quite young to serve as an elder, if not for his cultivation level perhaps Lenhao would not have served as an Elder.

While Xingniu and Gumong were slightly older than Lenhao, were appointed by Xinglau for various reasons, after two elders from the Len breed died mysteriously on a mission trip.

- It was definitely this that caused it to be able to rise level one stage in just two years... What is he doing now?-

Think Lenhufei, one of Lenhao's supporters who is now 61 years old.

Lenhufei was the initiator of the Mahaguru position competition. Lenhufei guessed that Lenhao must have a secret ability that he could rely on to win the competition. This was because Lenhufei saw Lenhao's cultivation level increase rapidly in just two years' time, such an increase would not just happen for no reason, there must be something behind that increase.

- This!?, It seems like Lenhao wants to increase his cultivation level again...!?-

Lenhufei.

Now that Lenhufei was looking with his own eyes, the proof of Lenhao's strength, the heaven and earth energy absorption that Lenhao was doing was beyond the limits he could reach.

- Uniting all of you, fast away, it looks like Lenhao will increase his cultivation level to the final stage-

Lenhufei sent voice messages through his mind to the 30 other elders who also supported Lenhao.

There were 66 elders serving in the Forbidden Land College, the number already included Lenhao and Xinglau. These elders were grouped into sections namely, six Core Elders, 20 Inner Area Elders and 40 Outer Area Elders. Xinglau and Xingjiang were Core Elders while Lenhao, Lenhufei, Xingniu and Gumong were Inner Area Elders.

Most of Xinglau's supporters came from the outer area elders, as they were more dominated by warriors recruited from the Xing breed.

The ones supporting Xinglau consisted of two Core Elders, seven Inner Area Elders, and 24 Outer Area Elders. The ones supporting Lenhao consisted of three Core Elders, 12 Inner Area Elders and 16 Outer Area Elders.

The Outer Area Elders who supported Lenhao were mostly warriors who had gotten help from his grandfather, although some of them were descendants of the Xing breed, they preferred to follow Lenming's will and support Lenhao.

Returning back to the arena, Lenhao's body currently seemed to be clad in a whirlwind that was quite large in blue like the color of the sky. Lenhao's body lifted flying, as tall as an adult man, Lenhao's eyes seemed to glow a bright blue.

After dozens of breaths, Lenhao's body bulged and seemed to be about to explode, when he saw that Lenhufei suggested to the 30 other elders to move away slightly from the arena.

*Blazhh*

A bright blue light shone brightly from all over Lenhao's body along with the mucus-like black blood spewed out by Lenhao's body. The sticky black splashes of blood hit some of Xinglau's supporters who had no time to dodge.

"This!? Up one more stage?"

All the elders present at the place were shocked to see Lenhao who had just broken through to the final stage of the Human God realm.

"Heeft... Shit, you!? B-how is it possible in just two years that you level up again? This smell, ikh... Hueft"

Xingniu who was hit by the splash of Lenhao's excrement was completely inexhaustible, she didn't expect Lenhao to be able to do such a thing.

"Dad...!? Why don't you get me?"

Xingjiang simply raised his eyebrows and silently stared intently at the fighting arena, ignoring Xingniu. He managed to escape the splash by coating his entire body with the power in his possession, making that inner power into a shield that thickened Lenhao's bodily excrement.

"Babber...!!! Let's go, Hueft... I want to clean up, fuck this fight"

Finally unable to bear the smell, Xingniu decided to go and drag Gumong away with her.

Mumbling could actually avoid the splashes, as he watched Lenhufei's group move away, Gumong would also stay away, but Xingniu held him back to remain seated on his seat.

Lenhao landed back into the arena and now he was clearly already at the late stage Human God realm. In just four years, Lenhao reached the final stage of the Human God realm that not even Lenming could. Lenming reached the late stage of the Human God realm after cultivating for 16 years from the mid stage Human God realm.

"Sister, congratulations on your improvement"

Lenchan clenched his hands together and congratulated Lenhao's cultivation level rise.

Lenchan was not exposed to the splashes of Lenhao's body dirt, as a healer he knew the signs of the dirty substance would come out of a person's body, Lenchan had already smelled it shortly after Lenhao's body bulged.

"Congratulations Elder Lenhao, Congratulations, Congratulations"

One by one the elders who supported Lenhao congratulated. Lenhao simply nodded quietly without saying anything.

Now that there was a bit of bitterness in the eyes of every Xinglau supporter, some of them decided to leave because they couldn't stand the smell that stuck to their bodies after saying goodbye to Xingjiang.

- This must have been the cultivation of energy from the Book of Gods or the Book of Heaven, the speed of this cultivation, was truly amazing-

While still being around the arena, looks began to hesitate to keep supporting Xinglau, after seeing Lenhao's improved cultivation.

They were aware that Lenhao must have studied the Book of Gods or the Book of Heaven to be able to absorb heaven and earth origin energy, as fast and fast as that.

Now that it was Xinglau's turn to stand still, her mind was raging, she did not stop thinking that Lenhao would cultivate energy with the Book of Gods or the Book of Heaven.

impossible this is the book of the gods, not one of them has ever been heard from, and then... Is this one of the three books of heaven? wait a minute.... Nine Heavens Swordsman, that was, five years ago I saw him visiting Lenming. Did the swordsman give the Nine Heavens Book to Lenming?-

Thought Xinglau.

Xinglau recalled the possibility of the book being processed by Lenhao until within four years, Lenhao was able to reach the final stage of the Human God realm.

- Really... This must be the book, only the Nine Heavens Swordsman who seemed close to the Len breed, of the three warriors of heaven-book

After thinking many things, Xinglau finally came to the conclusion that Lenhao's improvement was due to the Nine Heavens Book of Heaven.

"Xinglau !!... Let's continue, now it's my turn to attack... Get ready...!"

Lenhao's cultivation was now above Xinglau, so he no longer needed to mention Xinglau as Senior.

It was precisely now that Lenhao, could be considered more senior than Xinglau, due to his higher cultivation level, even though their ages were at odds.

Lenhao did a hand seal and his mental energy turned into pitch-black smoke that covered the entire battle arena like a dome.

"Dark Dome"

This is Lenhao's own creation. Back when he had just reached Saint Master realm, Lenhao met a lucky encounter that increased his mental energy into many folds.

Lenhao then combined that mental energy with the Dark Cloud Sect he had, making his mental energy turn into black smoke, which after he developed again managed to change the smoke became increasingly dense until it became a black dome.

It was this move that ultimately led to Lenhao being dubbed the Dark King. Now that it was in the late stage Human God realm, the dome created looked more solid and more sturdy.

"Domach!? Doggone... Dad's in danger..!!"

*zyuut*

Xingjiang darted forward attacking towards the black dome that now covered the entire battle arena, he swung his rock to destroy the dome.

"Older Le...!!"

"Wait... !! Let it be, Xingjiang won't be able to destroy the dome"

Lenhufei blocked the steps of one of the elders who was about to advance helping Lenhao resist Xingjiang's mace attack.

Lenhufei realized that the dome that looked so black, must have a very sturdy strength. So, she did not think of getting in the way of what Xingjiang did. After all, if he or any other elder supporting Lenhao wanted to defeat Xingjiang, it was an impossible matter.

"Light of War Army of Death"

Xingjiang took out one more mace, now both hands were holding the mace. He struck the dome of darkness like a beating drum, the sound of his impact deafening the ears of the other elders who were near Xingjiang.

*Dug jedug dug*

*Dug jedug dug*

Unceasingly Xingjiang smacked his two rocks towards the Lenhao dome. All the energy in, he devoted it to destroying the dome, but all was nil. Nothing happened, the dome was still the same as before, no cracks.

"Impossible... There's no way this dome is stronger than my Double Mace, there's no way!!"

Xingjiang did not believe that he could not destroy the dome.

Xingjiang now moved around the entire dome, hitting the dome from all directions. But again all nil, nothing happened.

"You guys... !! Are you guys going to just shut up to see this kind of cheating? No one knew what that brat yesterday afternoon did to Senior Xinglau... Come on up here, destroy this dome!!"

Xingjiang's two hands still continued to hit the dome of darkness, as he shouted loudly to all of his father's supporters in order to join in destroying Lenhao's dome of darkness.

"Senior Xingjiang, Who did you say cheated? It's my brother's own creation, he's fighting with his own manager, then what's cheating?"

Lenchan shouted to Xingjiang.

Lenchan could no longer bear to see the fraudulent actions done by Xingjiang. Not that it stopped, but instead Xingjiang shouted at Lenhao as a cheat in the competition.

"Snick boy, Don't interfere, Go there!!!"

Xingjiang was angrily yelled at like that by Lenchan. He then threw one of his guns at Lenchan. The cudgel shot out, heading straight for Lenchan.

"It's over the line!!"

*zyuut*

A Core Elder supporting Lenhao advanced, fending off the mace Xingjiang threw using his inner power.

"Iron Punch"

The elder struck Gada Xingjiang until it bounced to the ground.

"You!? Xingmou, you traitor!, you forgot your blood? You betrayed the Xing breed"

Xingjiang was further up in black after his pitch was successfully parried by Xingmou, a Core Elder who had chosen to support Mahaguru's will before.

"Conscious Xingjiang... You are the one who betrayed our breed. Remember first, if it wasn't for Len's ancestors, our breed would have perished"

That was the true reality, just like Xingmou had said.

The Xing breed would have been doomed if it had not been saved by the Len breed's ancestors and taught martial arts at the Forbidden Land College.

"Omong empty!! all I know is, we've done enough to be number two, this college belongs to us, the Xing breed"

*zyuut*

Xingjiang stopped hitting the dome and darted forward attacking Xingmou.

*Twx*

Not yet at Xingmou's place, Xingjiang bounced back far enough after being hit by an explosion that occurred from within the dome.

The dome had now disappeared, Lenhao was seen standing with numerous sword incision wounds on his body, while Xinglau was sprawled unconscious on the arena floor.

"Lenhao won ?"

Xingjiang who had just returned after bouncing far enough away, could not believe what he saw.

Seriate...
