Chapter 88 - The Uprising of Sword Mountain, the Greatest Crisis
Chapter 88: The Uprising of Sword Mountain, the Greatest Crisis Translation
“A pile of scrap metal. Just because he’s good at refining pills doesn’t mean that he’s good at refining weapons. Is he lo deliberately looking for trouble?”
“Sigh, is that it? I can already guess what he’s trying to refine.”
“I already said it’s a waste of time, yet he still insisted on participating in the competition. This is great, this is simply embarrassing. I think everyone should disperse. There’s nothing to see from now on.”
Everyone mocked and ridiculed him, but Gu Xi stared at the sword in his hand in a daze, as if he could not hear them.
Ou Yechen and Wang Dazhu looked at each other. It seemed that they were really wrong and were just about to leave.
However, the sky suddenly darkened, and a strong wind suddenly rose. Everyone raised their heads to look at the sky, and a powerful pressure pressed down on them. It was as if the sky itself could not withstand it, and it felt like it was about to collapse at any moment.
Even people with weak spiritual senses could feel the inexplicable aura surging in the air, especially those who wielded swords-type Magic Weapons.
They could feel the swords in their hands starting to go berserk, and they were losing control.
“What a sharp Sword Intent!”
Some people who were proficient in sword Dao could not help but sigh. At the same time, many people were suppressing their Spirit Swords to prevent them from being out of control.
The wind and clouds gathered, all hovering above Gu Xi’s head. To be more precise, it was the sword in his hand.
Everyone was so shocked that their mouths were wide open. “Could it be that Gu Xi is the one that’s causing these strange phenomena?”
As soon as they finished speaking, Sword Mountain rumbled, and the entire mountain trembled. The commotion was even greater than before, making them feel as if the end of the world was coming.
The cold wind blew over like a steel blade scraping against their bones. It was only later that everyone realized that the wind contained tens of thousands of Sword Intents, and their expressions suddenly became unsightly.
Realizing that there was something wrong here, they hurriedly fled, but it was already too late.
The countless wind blades in the surroundings had already formed a natural sword formation due to the support of Sword Qi. The slightest carelessness would cause them to be cut into a thousand pieces.
“Be careful!”
A disciple activated his spiritual protective barrier and prepared to charge over. Fortunately, he was stopped in time. However, a strand of his hair was blown up by the strong wind. The moment the hair touched the sword formation slightly, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, the disciple’s back broke out in cold sweat. Only then did he realize that he had actually walked through the gates of Hell. He hurriedly thanked the person who stopped him.
“This sword formation is not something that you and I can withstand. Do not act rashly, or else you will bear the consequences.”
Fortunately, there was a powerful elder here. Otherwise, everyone would have been flustered long ago. They were like headless flies that flew around randomly. However, after hearing the rest of the words, everyone’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
They tried to send a signal to inform the outside world that a great change had occurred here. However, when the communication talisman touched the edge of the sword formation, it was instantly reduced to dust. Not even a shred of it was left.
Even the elder who sent the communication talisman was entangled by the Sword Qi and suffered a backlash. His face immediately turned pale. “This won’t do. This place is already isolated by the sword formation. I can’t send out a distress signal at all.”
“What, what’s going on?” The person who said this sounded like he was crying. He looked around in fear, afraid that he would be dragged into it and end up with no bones left.
“We’ll have to ask Gu Xi about this.”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Gu Xi. His surroundings were not affected. There was not even a trace of Sword Qi. It was as if the Sword Qi was afraid to disturb him. It was a stark comparison with the rest, who were treading on thin ice.
...
Everyone’s expression suddenly became complicated.
If they still did not know who caused this, then they would really be extremely stupid.
Some people even guessed that Gu Xi had caused the sword formation to appear and trapped them all in order to take revenge for their derogatory words.
“Big Brother Gu, we understand our mistake. Please let us go.”
“Yes, Big Brother, we were ignorant. Please don’t be angry with us.”
Everyone prayed, but Gu Xi seemed to be immersed in his own world.
Bai Haoyu had left early, so he was not trapped. However, Ou Yechen and Wang Dazhu were here. “What do you think?”
Wang Dazhu was a rough person, but he had a keen intuition like a wild beast when it came to refining weapons. His gaze landed on the sword in Gu Xi’s hand, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn and deep. “This matter might not be over yet.”
As If in response to what he had said, just as everyone was frowning and thinking about how to leave, someone suddenly exclaimed, “You, look, what is that?”
Even their voices began to tremble from the fear.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Not far away, a dense mass of black waves swept over like a black tide.
Everyone was prepared and summoned their weapons one after another. However, when the black wave approached, only then did they see clearly that there were hundreds, tens of thousands of swords!
These swords were menacing, and they seemed to be coming right at the group of people! They were even more ferocious than the static sword formation just now! They could be said to be on the level of nightmares.
After all, the sword formation would not take the initiative to attack people. However, who could say for sure about these swords? Moreover, they were ownerless objects, and no one could control them at all.
“It’s over!”
This was the common thought in everyone’s mind. There were no ordinary things on Sword Mountain, and there were so many of them that they could turn everyone present into hedgehogs.
Some people regretted starting to speak ill of Gu Xi. At this moment, they were beating their chests and stomping their feet. They sat on the ground, crying and begging for forgiveness. They no longer cared about their image.
In the face of death, everything else was fleeting. As long as they could live, that was the most important thing.
