The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 213 - A Broken Sword
The vibration on the surface of the ravine felt strong, a tense atmosphere filled the air. Thousands of people gathered to look sharply at the man standing alone before them. His white clothes were fluttering by the strong winds that were hunting around him.
In a gripping silence, the man exuded a powerful and mysterious aura. His sharp gaze penetrated into the soul of every person who saw him. No words were spoken, but his own presence had conveyed such a powerful message.
The vibrations from the endless abyss added to the tension in the air. People felt the force of nature pulsating on the ground surface under their feet. The sound of the wind passing by and the sound of the heart beating loudly were the only sounds heard.
The man in the white robe remained upright, not wavering in the slightest before the crowd. Letting one by one of them chide and shout death words for him.
This heirloom scramble will never meet its end. Xiang Yi Bai had already seen first when this greedy attitude killed hundreds of thousands of lives.
It seems that the world will not be able to fight against its own destiny. That war would be unavoidable even if Xiang Yi Bai put in the most effort possible.
He shook his head while breathing heavily and still did not expect the enemy to follow him to this place. A big mistake for him.
On that night, when the moon was hidden behind a dark cloud, thousands of warriors from the black stream known as the Red Tusk flooded the region of the Regret Trench. They moved with noisy steps full of lust.
Their goal was to seize the heavenly heirloom stone that had been in the hands of the Profound World's Great Leader, Xiang Yi Bai.
"I won't hesitate on you even if you're cornered, Xiang Yi Bai."
The Red Taring Light said seriously and ketus, he was willing with a weapon in his hand that began to emit a glow of light that illuminated the dark place..
"Everyone, get ready!" There was a voice of his enemy. Xiang Yi Bai pulled Bai Ye from her scabbard. The sword was glowing by the reflection of the moon, the carvings on its blade were clearly visible. The Red Fangled light attracted a smile behind the mask.
"That legendary sword, it's been a long time since I last saw it. Now that things are different, I already know your hospitality and technique, you will only meet death here."
"Forward!!"
Thundering lightning occasionally struck, giving a brief but sufficient flash to reveal a frightening sight.
Flaming flames were burning around Xiang Yi Bai, creating a shadow that towered high among the darkness. The flames danced along with the man's rapid movements.
From the darkness, there came a quick movement and the steps of the black cross mask warriors.
While some swordsmen held swords and spears, others acted as archers who utilized their aiming skills with fiery arrows.
The fiery arrows were shot out from the archers' bows, flashed through the air quickly and formed glowing lines. They aimed at Xiang Yi Bai viciously, creating a deadly hell gate around him.
The black cross mask warriors moved in unison, attacking Xiang Yi Bai from various directions. They set up a formation, making use of their abundant numbers to surround Xiang Yi Bai.
The attacks came like waves, unforgiving, and overpowered the surroundings with incredible strength and speed.
Xiang Yi Bai protected himself with an invisible shield. Every impact and rain of arrows just bounced off his body.
Red Fangs charged over with simultaneous attacks, the atmosphere in the Regret Gorge turned chaotic. The sound of colliding swords, furious shouts, and the whirring of arrows filled the silent night.
The great power of Xiang Yi Bai leveled the ground and uprooted whatever was there. The fight was fierce, one man was fighting an enemy thousands of times more than himself.
As Xiang Yi Bai was in a fierce battle, one of the black cross-masked warriors leaped boldly from above the ceiling of the Void of Regret. In an instant, Xiang Yi Bai sensed the presence of the threat and quickly responded.
With a swift movement, Xiang Yi Bai drew his sword from its sheath, spun agilely, and fended off the incoming swordsman's attack from above.
The sound of metal friction rang out sharply as Xiang Yi Bai's sword met the swordsman's weapon, creating sparks that lit up within the darkness.
At the same time Xiang Yi Bai also harnessed the momentum of his opponent's attack to unleash a deadly counterattack. In an instant, he aimed a powerful kick at the swordsman's chest. The swordsman's body crashed heavily, soaring through the air before finally hitting the dozens of black cross-masked warriors that were behind him.
The violent impact of the impact was clearly heard as the swordsman's body fell to the ground with a terrifying force. The energy jolt produced from Xiang Yi Bai's kick propagated through the swordsman's body, as if emitting a shockwave that radiated throughout the swordsman around him. The warriors staggered back, shocked and carried away by the unexpected force of impulse.
Laughter from his mouth rang out, "Hahahha I've never met a fight this crazy. One against a thousand? I thought it was just a fool's job. It really happened today."
Suddenly in that heated situation, from the front direction of Xiang Yi Bai, a Red Finger official appeared by landing a surprise attack that shook the entire air around him. In an instant it created a wave of energy that exhaled a strong wind.
The rays of light emanating from the attack dazzled the eyes of everyone who witnessed it. The bright flashes that filled the space adorned the night sky, creating a sharp contrast to the surrounding darkness.
Xiang Yi Bai retreated slightly realizing the Light had managed to reach him.
"You're too excited about the young man."
Suddenly, a powerful force exploded. The woman unleashed an amount of power that was not playful and it seemed that she did not hesitate to sacrifice her life for the sake of fighting for victory. It made Xiang Yi Bai surprised and took a step back.
Light rays rose up to the sky. An overwhelming force flowed through the Red Taring woman's body. A bright light emanated from his sword, growing stronger and filling the battleground. A ray of light so brightly visible, reaching an infinite height and touching the clouds in the sky.
In an instant, the light broke into fading dusts of light, spreading all over.
Xiang Yi Bai looked at the woman in front of him who had now changed into a human-like form that was fed with god-equivalent strength.
"I told you, I'm not playing around this time."
Thousands of black stream warriors charged in full force towards Xiang Yi Bai. His wiggle room was limited, surrounded by unforgiving enemies. He stood in the middle of the sea of attacks, facing every threat that came.
The black stream warriors moved quickly, and launched a series of attacks.
However, the longer the battle lasted, the more his movement space began to be limited.
The black flow warriors kept coming, continuously attacking with unstoppable force.
On the other hand he had to anticipate an attack from the Light lady who could come at any time while he was off guard.
As he had just said, the power he had unleashed was not playful and Xiang Yi Bai would have a hard time overcoming it if he made one small mistake.
Eve tensely surrounds the fight in the Pit of Regret.
In an instant a Light descended from the sky, shining down on the entire dark Pit of Regret to every corner.
Amidst the bursting power of light that blinded the view, a loud voice stomped among the crowd. The sharp and crashing sound of the sword split the silence, accompanying the fierce wind that was hunting across the surroundings.
In a state of being unable to see due to the blinding light, the sound of the sword continued to collide with an equally powerful force. The clanking of metal and the whirring of wind created tension in the air. Each impact sent out vibrations that shook the ground.
Despite not being able to see clearly, Xiang Yi Bai could still anticipate the attacks from the enemy in time.
The strong wind carried a roaring sound and deafened the ears. In the dazzling light, only the sound of swords and gushing wind filled the space. They fought without a single one intending to budge, relying on instinct to survive.
Although invisible to the eyes, but the atmosphere of this fight felt so intense. The clinking sword sounds continued to sound amidst the situation. The Red Fingers could not even see what was going on in front of them, no matter how powerful the Light was. Swordsman of the Batara Sword Saint class could even be overwhelmed to face him alone.
"God you know, I've been waiting for this day for over 20 years." That faint voice rang out, Xiang Yi Bai was completely unaffected.
The power of the light burst out like it was about to blow up the Regret Gorge, Xiang Yi Bai was pushed several tens of meters away still withholding the speed of the enemy's sword.
Until finally something that makes his face paled happened.
The light started to disappear.
The crack on the edge of Bai Ye's sword cracked until finally with one last powerful blow, the splitting enemy said the sword was right in the middle.
Half the iron that was cut was thrown and stuck on the ground.
Xiang Yi Bai looked at him in shock that had long since disappeared from his face.
"Bai Ye ..."
His heart was struck hard when he saw his beloved sword, Bai Ye, crack and shatter. The weapon was not only limited to the metal that protected him on the battlefield, but was also a precious relic of his departed disciple. A sense of loss and deep sorrow engulfed him.
In a silence filled with disappointment, Xiang Yi Bai suppressed the anger that was mounting within him. His calmness which usually surrounded him like a calm ocean, now harbored a burning fury, ready to explode at any moment.
The sword has been a faithful witness of every battle and its achievements. Now, with his inevitable destruction, Xiang Yi Bai felt a deep loss, and it ignited embers of anger in the depths of his heart.
The sharp look from his eyes hinted at pent-up anger. This time not only his opponent, he would fight seriously to avenge Bai Ye's suffering.
