Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 417 - 394: One Sword to Kill

Liu Zhuoyan stepped aside, his face written with scorn.

"Hehe, just a moment ago, I asked you all nicely to sell me the Sword Fruit. If you had done so, I would have remembered your kindness. Now, good... Will you dare not hand over the Sword Fruit when Brother Rashomon asks for it?"

Qin Qing’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Rashomon, "You want the Sword Fruit in my hand?"

Qin Qing asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, but then, to Rashomon’s face, he swallowed the Sword Fruit in his hand in one gulp.

"You!" Rashomon was about to explode with rage, but at that moment, another Sword Fruit appeared in Qin Qing’s hand.

It turned out that Qin Qing indeed had more than one Sword Fruit in his hand.

"Good, this Sword Fruit shall be mine..." Rashomon thought that Qin Qing, having swallowed one Sword Fruit, intended to hand over the second one to him.

He was just about to take the Sword Fruit from Qin Qing’s hand.

But Qin Qing swallowed the second Sword Fruit as well in one gulp.

Afterward, Qin Qing took out a third Sword Fruit...

And did the same thing.

He also ate the third Sword Fruit.

"Want the Sword Fruit?" Qin Qing looked at Rashomon again with a sideways glance, "Are you thinking of eating farts?"

Rashomon’s face immediately turned cold.

Murder was laid bare in his eyes.

This idiot actually had three Sword Fruits!

And he just swallowed them like that?

This was simply a waste of heaven’s gifts, ahhh...

Rashomon was desperate for even one Sword Fruit, but seeing Qin Qing continuously swallow three, it was as if his heart was bleeding.

In his view, these three Sword Fruits should have belonged to him!

In fact, Rashomon himself had Sword Fruits.

They had found a Sword Dao Tree in the Sword Forest, but only managed to gather seven Sword Fruits.

At that time, Heavenly Sword Sect and another ancient sect discovered the Sword Dao Tree together, so three Sword Fruits were divided and given away.

This meant that the Heavenly Sword Sect actually obtained only four Sword Fruits.

Rashomon naturally could take one of the four, meaning he was qualified to enter the Sword Cleansing Celestial Pond.

But, seeing that Qin Qing and others also had Sword Fruits, he harbored the idea of seizing them, wanting to take Qin Qing’s for his fellow sect brothers from Heavenly Sword Sect.

"You fool!" Rashomon could no longer contain the rage in his heart, and his Spiritual Power suddenly erupted.

"Rashomon, what are you doing?" At that moment, Pei Fulong walked over, "What, you want to rob Brother Qin of his Sword Fruit?"

Seeing Pei Fulong coming over and intending to stand by Qin Qing’s side, Rashomon’s face couldn’t help but change.

He dared to be arrogant in front of Qin Qing, but he had no such courage in front of Pei Fulong.

"Brother Pei..." Qin Qing then said with a smile, "For such a trivial matter, there’s no need for you to step in!"

As Qin Qing’s voice fell, a cyan longsword floated into appearance in his hand...

At this moment, Qin Qing’s entire demeanor underwent a tremendous change.

He had swallowed three Sword Fruits in succession.

Powerful Spiritual Power and Life Essence burst forth in Qin Qing’s body instantly.

"Boom rumble..."

The violent Spiritual Power boiled repeatedly in his dantian, and the rich Life Essence caused his Qi-Blood to reach an unprecedented height around his body!

Qin Qing silently operated the Blood Burning Secret Technique.

At this moment, the effect of the Blood Burning Secret Technique also reached an unprecedented climax!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Cyan flames interwove, enveloping Qin Qing’s body, making him look like he was shrouded in a cyan flame.

Furthermore, his Dragon Soul also manifested in the form of a Dragon Ball, turning into a cyan bead floating behind in the void, shining with brilliant cyan light that illuminated the heavens.

However, the most terrifying thing was not these, but the Sword Intent contained within the three Sword Fruits.

As the Spiritual Power and Life Essence erupted, the Sword Intent from the three Sword Fruits also surged wildly in Qin Qing’s mind...

In an instant, countless varied Sword Qi, like dazzling meteor streaks, passed through Qin Qing’s mind...

All the Sword Qi, all the Sword Intent, surged like tidal waves, but within this incredibly brief moment, Qin Qing comprehended them all!

"Boom!"

At this moment, Qin Qing’s Sword Dao ascended to an unprecedented height.

"Masterly skill, Grandmaster Realm!"

Qin Qing officially stepped into the Grandmaster Realm of Sword Dao and became a Sword Path Grandmaster!

You should know, almost no Martial Dao Masters at the Golden Core Realm had ever entered the realm of Sword Path Grandmaster; you could even omit the word ’almost’!

Even among the ancient ancestors at the Nascent Soul Realm, very few could become Sword Path Grandmasters.

Yet now, Qin Qing had reached the realm of a Sword Path Grandmaster!

Not only that, the Sword Momentum condensed within the three Sword Fruits was now released through Qin Qing’s Sword Qi.

In his hands, the aura of the Qing Ming Sword continuously climbed, and in an instant, it appeared as though countless Sword Qi had converged, becoming increasingly sharp and overwhelming.

Everyone around began to feel uneasy; the sword in Qin Qing’s hand made it difficult for them even to breathe.

"This... this... is this the momentum of a Sword Sect?"

Luosha Heaven’s face greatly changed, and his pupils shrank sharply.

As a genius disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who was just one step away from the threshold of Sword Path Grandmaster, how could he not recognize the aura of a Sword Path Grandmaster?

"You wish to snatch my Sword Fruit? Are you worthy?"

Qin Qing looked at Luosha Heaven coldly, and suddenly, he struck with his sword.

"Judgment Nine Swords—Return to Origin!"

Originally, Qin Qing had only cultivated up to the fourth sword, Starbreaker, in the Judgment Nine Swords technique.

But now, after consuming the three Sword Fruits, he instantly comprehended the fifth sword, Moon Slay, and the sixth sword, Sunset; even the seventh sword, Return to Origin, was nearly fully comprehended.

The Judgment Nine Swords consisted of: Frost Condensation, Lone Drink, Shark Fishing, Starbreaker, Moon Slay, Sunset, Return to Origin, Dissolving Void, and Judgment—these nine swords.

Reaching the realm of Return to Origin is equivalent to being a Sword Path Grandmaster.

Comprehending the final sword, Judgment, is the realm of a Sword Venerate!

"Whoosh!"

This strike from Qin Qing seemed to return to the origin, merging the power of heaven and earth within the sword light, its might devouring the sky and splitting the earth.

Fear painted Luosha Heaven’s face even more.

This one strike from Qin Qing filled him with infinite dread.

This strike had even surpassed the realm of a Sword Path Grandmaster...

In his haste, Luosha Heaven swung his sword to block.

Yet, the power of this strike was too terrifying!

"Ting!"

Longsword clashed, and the sword in Luosha Heaven’s hand was sent flying.

The horrendous sword glow slashed across his body.

It even effortlessly destroyed the Defensive Shield that Luosha Heaven had activated on his body.

"Pfft!"

The sword light cleaved through him as easily as it would tofu, cutting directly across Luosha Heaven’s body from the left shoulder, diagonally downward, exiting from the lower right side of the abdomen.

As the sword glow dissipated, Qin Qing put away his sword and stood firm.

Luosha Heaven still had his eyes wide open, looking at Qin Qing, his eyes filled with regret, horror, despair, and many other complex expressions...

But in the next moment, all those expressions froze; the color in his eyes also turned dull.

A line of blood appeared from the left shoulder to the right abdomen, and then more and more blood bubbled from this line...

Then, the upper half of his body, following this line, slid down, separating into two pieces from the lower half.

...

On this day!

The proud disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Luosha Heaven, arrogant and domineering, was seeking to rob Qin Qing of his Sword Fruit.

He was slain by a single strike from Qin Qing by the shore of the Sword Cleansing Celestial Pond...

Shock reverberated in all directions!
