Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Sword Emperor’s Legacy

"There are three more of these Blood Fruits ahead," Sacred Flame said.

"Only three?" When Shi Feng heard the number announced by Sacred Flame, he couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. However, on second thought, having some was certainly better than none.

Shi Feng, holding the Blood Sword and guided by Sacred Flame, marched forward. The weeds, thorns, and vines blocking the path burst into flames upon contact with the blood-colored flame, and Shi Feng immediately cleared a path.

Along the way, there were ambushes by bloodthirsty demon beasts and plant demon beasts. With Shi Feng’s powerful Soul Power, they had nowhere to hide and were slain with a single strike. Their blood, souls, and Power of Death naturally became a supplement for Shi Feng.

The first and second Blood Fruits were plucked and consumed smoothly by Shi Feng. Just as he was about to move towards the third Blood Fruit sensed by Sacred Flame, he suddenly detected the presence of a living being. Turning his head, he saw a dark figure perched upon the branch of a Blood Tree to the right. Dressed in a black samurai outfit with a Black Iron Greatsword on his back, it was the young man Shi Feng had seen on the rooftops of Black Rock City.

Shi Feng hadn’t expected to encounter this young man in this space. At the moment, the young man was looking at Shi Feng with an indifferent expression on his face.

"Nine Nether Lineage!" Then, the young man looked at Shi Feng and spoke coldly.

Shi Feng could also feel the aura of murderous intent and combativeness emanating from him. After that, the young man continued, "A weak inheritor of the Nine Nether, not even interesting enough to kill." With those words, he suddenly moved, charging upwards, his body piercing through the dense blood-colored leaves and disappearing from Shi Feng’s sight.

"A weak inheritor of the Nine Nether, not even interesting enough to kill?" Shi Feng murmured the phrase coldly, his face growing even colder. With a "boom," his body broke through the void, scanning the surroundings. The young man in black had vanished without a trace in a short amount of time.

When the young man in black had left through the space-breaking exit, the energy fluctuation he revealed allowed Shi Feng to recognize his martial heritage: "Sword Emperor Yue Xiao!"

In the past, when they sought the Source of All Things from Emperor Nine Nether, several Martial Emperors joined forces to set up the Heavenly Shocking Killing Array. One of those Emperors was Yue Xiao, who was revered as the Sword Emperor on Tianheng Continent.

"Back when I was alive, you, Yue Xiao, were slapped three times by me, daring only to fume silently! What now, after joining those scum Emperors to kill me, you’ve started to train geniuses to exterminate my Nine Nether lineage?" Shi Feng murmured coldly as he looked at the blood-colored sky, his mind set on revenge. Yue Xiao and those scum Emperors would one day perish!

Afterward, Shi Feng quickly broke through the void towards the location of the third Blood Fruit, as indicated by Sacred Flame. Soon, he sensed energy fluctuations rising from below.

"Someone else?" Fearing the loss of the Blood Fruit, Shi Feng descended rapidly, passing through the thick layer of blood-colored leaves and quickly arrived in the Blood-colored Jungle.

Below, two young men were battling with saber and sword. Between them was the blood-colored plant, and on it grew a Blood Fruit the size of a fist. In order not to destroy the precious fruit, they restrained from using any wild and wide-ranging Martial Skills during their fight.

When the two youths saw that the newcomer was merely a Three-star Martial Monarch Realm youngster, their initially cautious hearts immediately relaxed again. Both were One-star Martial Sect Realm, and a mere Three-star Martial Monarch was, in their eyes, an existence that could be wiped out with a wave of their hand.

"Qin Ao, our strength is roughly equal, and who knows when a victor will emerge. Let’s stop, casually wipe out this Martial Monarch trash together, and then compete for the Blood Fruit with our own abilities. Otherwise, if we truly fight to a mutual defeat, be careful not to let this trash take advantage of us," the youth holding the blue longsword said to the youth holding a Golden Saber, named Qin Ao.

Qin Ao nodded, saying, "I was just thinking the same!"

Immediately, the two stopped and their gazes shifted together toward Shi Feng, who, in their eyes, was no different from a dead man.

"Two death-seeking One-star Martial Sect trash plus this Blood Fruit should be enough to let me advance to a Four-star Martial Sovereign," Shi Feng thought as he calculated the energy that these two people’s blood and the Power of Death would bring to him.

"I’m in a rush, come at me together," Shi Feng said to the two, since they had intended to kill him, he was prepared to send them off to the afterlife together.

"What! Did I hear that wrong? A Three-star Martial Monarch is actually asking both of us to take him on together?" When Qin Ao heard Shi Feng’s words, it was as if he had heard the world’s funniest joke.

"Hmph, simply a clown jumping around!" The sword-wielding youth scoffed disdainfully, "Trying to pretend to be a master to scare us off with such a low-level trick; it’s something that low-level Martial Artists would use. Those foolish low-level Martial Artists might actually be scared off by such an act, but we are strong Martial Sect warriors. How could our talents, being able to cultivate to the Martial Sect level, be comparable to those foolish people!"

Suddenly, the sword-wielding youth continued, "To exterminate you is like crushing an ant!" After saying this, his longsword made a light swipe, and the Sword Light flashed, sending a fierce Sword Qi slashing horizontally, aiming straight for Shi Feng’s neck.

As the longsword-wielding youth made his move, both looked at Shi Feng as if he were already a dead man.

But then, to their astonishment, Shi Feng did not move an inch, and from his chest burst forth a stream of Blood-colored Flame. Under the assault of this Blood-colored Flame, the longsword-wielding youth’s Sword Qi was immediately quashed, and then, the Blood-colored Flame rolled back toward Shi Feng’s body and extinguished.

"What’s going on? Guh Jiang, your attack was actually blocked by a Three-star Martial Monarch," Qin Ao said with a face full of surprise as he saw the longsword youth’s Sword Qi extinguished.

Looking at Guh Jiang, however, there was a flash of excitement across his face, and he muttered, "Flame, Blood-colored Flame, to think that a mere Three-star Martial Monarch could block my strike. The rank of this flame is definitely not low; it must be at least of the Sixth-stage Beast Fire or Earth Fire. Haha, jackpot, jackpot, this flame is mine now!"

Guh Jiang’s eyes greedily fixed on Shi Feng. Then, like a beast eyeing a beauty, he leaped forward, disregarding Qin Ao beside him. His longsword swung continuously, sending out denser and more ferocious Sword Qi, each infused with the Power of Martial Sect, raining down on Shi Feng. Guh Jiang intended to slice Shi Feng’s flesh with his Sword Qi directly and then, before Qin Ao could react, snatch the Blood-colored Flame from within Shi Feng’s body.

Shi Feng simply thrust at Guh Jiang with his sword, "Netherworld One Sword!"

Under a single sword strike, the dense and torrential Sword Qi all dissolved. Then, amidst Guh Jiang’s disbelief, the Blood-colored Longsword that appeared to move so slowly hit home before he realized it, and he was stabbed straight in the chest!
