Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 564 - 561: Beichen One Slash! [Third Midnight Update]

Chapter 564: Chapter 561: Beichen One Slash! [Third Midnight Update]

Miyamoto Sakura originally harbored deep fear towards Beichen Qianfeng, but when she saw Li Chen right by her side, her mind became greatly at ease.

She resolutely lifted her head, locking eyes with Beichen Qianfeng, unwilling to show weakness she retorted.

"Beichen Divine Master, if I hadn’t done so, perhaps the current Miyamoto Sakura would already be a sacrificial offering on the altar, right?"

Beichen Qianfeng saw that Miyamoto Sakura seemed to have known something, his expression first froze.

However, he soon regained his composure, righteously saying: "Hmph, as the Princess of Japan, the direct daughter of the Miyamoto Family, sacrificing yourself for the empire and clan, isn’t that what you should be doing?"

Seeing Beichen Qianfeng admitting to collaborating with Miyamoto Musashi behind the scenes to use her as a sacrifice, Miyamoto Sakura’s delicate body couldn’t help trembling.

However, before she could speak again, Li Chen stepped forward, gently patting her shoulder.

"This old guy is tough to deal with. Step back, let me handle this!"

Miyamoto Sakura respectfully said: "Yes, Master!"

Hearing Miyamoto Sakura addressing Li Chen as Master, Beichen Qianfeng could not help but fly into a great rage.

"Miyamoto Sakura, you have noble royal blood flowing in your veins, yet you call a lowly Huaxia man your Master, this is simply a disgrace to our Great Eastern Japan Empire!"

Miyamoto Sakura unwillingly countered: "That’s still better than being your sacrificial offering and dying in confusion!"

"Fine, in that case, let me send you both on your way together, to atone for your sins before the Sunshine God!"

Having said that, Beichen Qianfeng drew his sword with a backhand grasp.

"Clang!"

The piercing blade, like a comet striking the moon, a white rainbow piercing the sun, cast the gloomy underground chamber into a ghastly white.

Seeing the blade that entered her field of vision, Miyamoto Sakura involuntarily shivered, her pretty face turning pale as frost.

Even though Li Chen had displayed astonishing divine skills, she couldn’t help but worry for him.

One must know, his opponent this time is Beichen Qianfeng, an existence even more formidable than Japan Sword Saint Miyamoto Musashi. Moreover, he is also a Divine Servant of the Sunshine God, possessing unfathomable divine power.

However, looking over at Li Chen, his expression remained as calm as ever. It seemed that he had never taken this so-called Beichen Divine Master seriously.

For such a person, there are usually two kinds.

One kind is the arrogant fool!

The other is the king with great confidence, who can disregard everything!

Clearly, from all indications, Li Chen was not the former type.

A scornful smile emerged above the corner of Li Chen’s mouth. With a rapid single-handed extraction of his sword, he advanced towards Beichen Qianfeng as elegantly as a Jiao Long emerging from the sea.

"Clang!"

Sword and saber clashing, countless sparks scattered with the wind. The violent collision of their auras, bursting towards the surroundings, hit the walls and wooden racks, leaving them riddled with holes.

After this impact, Beichen Qianfeng lost control of his body and staggered back three steps.

Looking back at Li Chen, he stood still as immovable as Mount Tai, without a single flinch.

Noticing this scene, even the Beichen Divine Master’s expression turned solemn in an instant.

He had spent years isolated in this subterranean space, disconnected from the outside world. Therefore, he was unaware of the various legends surrounding Immortal Master Li.

In his impression, there were only a few Martial Arts Experts in Hua Country, like Li Jinliang and Yuann Family Ancestor. Among the younger generation, the only ones barely worthy of notice were Tang Fengyang, Li Lingyun, and the brothers Li Lingtian.

Even the youngest of them, Li Lingyun, had already passed the age of forty. But the person before him was ridiculously young, at most in his early twenties.

Thinking of this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Indeed, you have some skills, no wonder you could make our beautiful Princess submit!"

With that, his tone suddenly shifted.

"Unfortunately, in the eyes of Beichen Qianfeng, you are still not enough!"

Before his words fell, his aura rose steadily, like a surging tide.

"Arise!"

The originally plain Engraved Sword suddenly split open with a spiderweb-like network of dense light traces. On both sides of the blade, there were eight dark red chrysanthemums, each below an engraved horizontal "one" character.

Upon seeing the true face of this sword, Miyamoto Sakura’s heart "thumped" violently.

"Kikunojou?"

Kikunojou, full name Kikunojyo Nozomu, was said to be the personal sword of Emperor Uda after the Kamakura Era. The blade was extremely long, and the sword body was thin and sharp. Capable of cleaving mountains as well as piercing through snowflakes, it was an unrivaled Ancient Divine Weapon.[Note 1]

Beichen Qianfeng saw that Miyamoto Sakura recognized the name of the Divine Weapon in his hand and his lips curled into a sly and proud smile.

"Worthy of the Princess, an exceptional eye for detail!"

"That’s right, this is Kikunojou. In the past, Emperor Uda used this sword to fight against seven Mongolian Shamans and remained undefeated, raising a divine wind that led to the annihilation of the invincible Mongolian army. You should take pride in dying beneath this Divine Sword!"

Before he finished speaking, his sinister gaze shot out an aggressive chill, and his gaunt hands fiercely clenched the blade’s edge.

He held the sword handle with his left hand backward and raised the sword to eyebrow height with his right hand. The blade shimmered with an eerie blood-red light, enveloping Li Chen completely within it. freewёbnoνel-com

Although the opponent’s sword was still suspended in midair, Li Chen could clearly sense the ominous intent emanating from the blade, as if saying "After my flower blooms, a hundred flowers shall perish."[Note 2]

Sensing this, Li Chen’s frown deepened, and his expression was more solemn than ever.

He was well aware that he had now lost the initiative. Any movement would expose his vulnerabilities, and Beichen Qianfeng’s fatal sword strike would come slashing down in an instant.

Although he could dodge, doing so would mean that Miyamoto Sakura behind him would surely meet her demise.

Beichen Qianfeng seemed to have anticipated this and suddenly roared, his voice thunderous as he slashed towards Li Chen.

"Beichen One Slash!"

This was the North Star One-Sword Style’s ultimate move, seemingly ordinary but with swordsmanship as vast as rivers and seas, containing infinite wisdom. It could be said that the essence of many modern Martial Arts is fused into this one slash.

Watching Beichen Qianfeng, whose eyes were blood-red and hair disheveled like a madman, Miyamoto Sakura’s face turned pale as frost.

Her eyes heavy with concern, she called out to Li Chen, "Master?"

Li Chen gestured towards her with a wave, saying, "It’s fine, step back!"

Before the echo of his voice faded, Li Chen flicked his fingers in rapid succession, like a songstress strumming a zither. Basked in the flowing light, his eyes were bright like shining stars, spirited and alert. His entire being was pristine, resembling the Milky Way cascading down from the Nine Heavens. Graceful as Jiao Long, akin to a Heavenly Immortal exiled to earth.

...

Note 1: Kikunojyo Nozomu, a renowned sword from Japan, not fictional. Mongolia launched two ancient invasions of Japan, both during the Kamakura Shogunate period.

Note 2: "After my flower blooms, a hundred flowers shall perish" is from Huang Chao’s poem "Ode to Chrysanthemum," quite fitting for the sword Kikunojou.
