Song of Adolescence

Chapter 237 Destroy Heaven and Extinguish Earth

Lei Hong snorted a bitter laugh. Back then, he was defeated by Li Hanyi and returned to Lei Clan to cultivate his sword arts for more than ten years. Now that he had reappeared in the martial world, he was finally recognised by the number one Confucian scholar under Heaven, Xie Xuan, and received the title of “Thunder Sword Immortal” but he didn’t feel any joy at all. He thought that he only lacked in his sword arts but now that he thought about it, actually, from the beginning, he never had a chance to win.

"Mister, can you save her?" Lei Hong asked.

Xie Xuan looked at Li Hanyi, who was pale and slowly venting all the qi in her body, and slowly said, "I can save her, but if I am to save her, I’ll have to trouble Lei-xiong to guard my back."

Lei Hong nodded. "I will do my best."

"Very well." Xie Xuan flashed to Li Hanyi\'s side and used his right hand to tap Li Hanyi\'s ten major acupoints. This would force her body to suppress the qi that was constantly venting from her body. Then, he slapped Li Hanyi’s back with his palm and transmitted his own qi into her. He sighed with a little exasperation. "Why do this to yourself."

Lei Hong took a step forward and said softly. "Come on."

Xie Xuan was wrong. There were not three sword immortals, but only one sword immortal against thirty ultimate assassins.

Kui was no longer angry and he grinned, "Just one of you?"

Li Fansong waved the Drunken Song sword furiously. "I’m here too!"

Kui was still watching Lei Hong. "Do you think you can stop my thirty Spider Shadows killers on your own?"

Lei Hong smiled disdainfully. "You’re all ants."

"Hahahaha." Kui bent backwards and laughed out loud. No one had ever mocked him like this. He wanted Lei Hong to pay for making this “ant” remark, as he lowered his head and his eyes glowed with a red light. His murderous intent flared and he leaped forward.

One sword, one blade, one fan.

Countless weapons were spinning in his hands, and every strike was vicious and ruthless.

Lei Hong, on the other hand, swung his sword extremely calmly. His expression was calm but his sword aura was still as powerful as thunder!

Kui whistled sharply.

All the assassins rushed towards them.

What was the idea behind dispatching thirty Hidden River assassins? Back then, the Hidden River received a very expensive kill order to exterminate the Nine Divisions of Yuequan. They merely dispatched thirty assassins.

And how terrifying are thirty Hidden River Shadow Spider assassins? Back then, during the Demonic Cult’s Eastern Incursion, one hundred and eighty people incanted a Demonic Heavenly Array that the heroes of the martial world couldn’t break. The thirty-two Spider Shadows shattered it to pieces.

Li Fansong finally used his sword again. He closed his eyes, waved his right hand lightly, and silently recited, "Rise."

He was the only successor of the Daoist Sword Immortal’s sword arts. He once stood on the cliffs by the sea and watched the tide when he realised the meaning of a vast sword intent, and with the realisation, he entered the Vajra Realm. Later, after the death of his master, his sword heart was roused with anger and he entered the Unrestrained Earthly Realm.

Even though he experienced a setback previously because he was ambushed, he was now determined to protect his shiniang and Mister Xie behind him, and he was willing to fight to the death.

"A victory or defeat, is but one cycle of an eternity. But, before heaven and earth, it’s a boundless eternity."

Li Fansong snapped open his eyes, and the Drunken Song sword in his hand flew out and instantly turned into a hundred sword shadows!

Fei Xuan followed immediately with a roar, and he pushed his hands forward, shouting, "Extinguish!"

A golden light appeared suddenly above the hundred sword shadows.

This was the combined power of the Great Dragon and Elephant Strength and the Boundless Swordplay when they’re used together. In that moment, it was as if the Daoist Sword Immortal had appeared again!

Such a power could actually block the thirty Spider Shadows assassins!

A youth and a little boy managed to block the thirty Spider Shadows assassins which even the Demonic Cult had feared!

But how long could they block them? Li Fansong\'s face turned livid and Fei Xuan\'s hands began to tremble. With their abilities, perhaps they could only sustain this for a few moments, but within those few moments, they had only one chance. And that was for Lei Hong to kill Kui.

"Just how many weapons do you have hidden in your robes?" Lei Hong panted slightly. He had always been able to overpower his opponents by exchanging only a few strikes, but Kui kept changing his weapon with every move, causing him to feel overwhelmed.

Kui snorted and swung a sword. "I’ll tell you before you die."

"If you have a hundred weapons, I will break a thousand. If you have a thousand weapons, I will break ten thousand!" Lei Hong thrusted his sword.

The sound of thunder crashed. Thunder crashed again. Thunder crashed again! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!

Eight crashes of wind and thunder!

Kui swung his sword and the sword broke.

He drew a sabre and the sabre fragmented!

He thrusted a spear and the spear snapped!

He flicked a fan and the fan shattered!

He could only retreat. Kui retreated, and retreated again and again. He gritted his teeth and finally threw off his robes. Under his robe was an ingenious mechanism made of fine iron which was tied to him like a spider with its eight legs. Each leg pulled a different weapon, so he only had to touch the mechanism and he could activate the weapon of his choice at any time. But, right now, he had shown his trump card, so what was he planning?

He suddenly whirled around and yanked out a staff from the eight-legged spider.

The body of the eight-legged spider split apart and burst open like a flower.

Countless hidden weapons flew towards Li Hanyi.

History always seemed to repeat itself.

That day, the Tempest Pear Blossom Needles attacked Li Hanyi the same way.

But Kui couldn’t be compared with Su Changhe, Su Muyu, Xie Qidao and the three Tang Clan elders.

And Lei Hong was not the Daoist Sword Immortal either.

He threw out a fist.

Lei Clan’s Unseen Fists. Before the fist connected, the qi arrived first.

The fist wind could block the hidden weapons for a moment, but it couldn’t block all of the hidden weapons.

Lei Hong moved his body frantically, his gray robes and red sword flashed before Li Hanyi like a bolt of lightning, arriving just before the hidden weapons could strike. He swept most of the hidden weapons to the ground with a single sword, and the rest pierced into his own body. He exerted his qi and expelled the hidden weapons.

The corner of his mouth trickled with blood and he smiled miserably. "I won\'t die, because if I die now, she won\'t remember me."

Li Fansong spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Drunken Song sword returned to his hand. He retreated three steps and fell onto one knee.

Fei Xuan just collapsed where he stood.

There was nobody left who could stop the thirty Spider Shadows.

Lei Hong suddenly jumped forward and faced the thirty Spider Shadows.

Kui released all the weapons on his body, armed himself with a sword and followed right behind.

Thirty Spider Shadows, Kui, as well as all the weapons attacked Lei Hong.

Lei Hong turned around in midair and suddenly laughed. He looked at the Murderous Dread sword in his hand and sighed softly. "After so many years, you’re finally going to leave me."

The red light on the sword blade exploded, looking as if it was burning.

Kui felt a twinge of unease in his heart.

He suddenly thought of something. No matter how skillful Lei Hong was with his sword, the thunder of the title Thunder Sword Immortal, was the word Lei. And this Lei was inseparable from the Lei Clan Fort of Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall.

And the Murderous Dread Sword itself had a blade forged using explosives!

"This move is called Destroy Heaven and Extinguish Earth."

"Years ago, I wanted to cultivate an ultimate sword but I couldn’t do it. I always felt that although this sword was ferocious, it lacked sword intent, so it couldn’t be called an ultimate sword. But I understand now. Only when a sword is used for an ultimate reason can it be called an ultimate sword."

"The sword used to guard my beloved is therefore an ultimate sword."

"Unfortunately, we were always a little too late."

"Too late to meet, too late to use this sword."

A red light flashed, and a humongous thunder blasted through the air.
