This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable Chapter 1746 - 2: Morning Journey to the Northern Sea, Evening at Cangwu
Seven Taoist swords, though astonishing, aren't they a bit too much?
Even Lu Qingshan himself felt something strange in his heart, "Am I that terrifying?"
All were Human Cultivators, even if they didn't acknowledge him in their hearts, it was out of concern for the current situation of the Human Race. Therefore, Lu Qingshan had never released any murderous aura from start to finish, not even hostility.
Yet, he didn't understand why these Honorable Realm cultivators had such a reaction.
What he didn't know was that in others' eyes, at this moment his pitch-black pupils were as scorching as the crimson sun in the sky, and as dazzling as the full moon in the night. It seemed that if they uttered a wrong word, they would be burned to ashes by the sun, never to be reborn, or be completely purified by the moonlight, body and spirit completely destroyed.
How can mere mortals dare to gaze directly at the sun and moon?
After elevating his cultivation to the realm of the Sword Immortal by devouring the dragon of Imperial Heaven with the spirit of Green Snake and crossing the Ninth Tribulations, he was already fundamentally different from cultivators.
Although he hadn't realized this yet himself—in Lu Qingshan's eyes, he was just a stronger Sword Cultivator.
.....
The building was utterly silent.
Lu Qingshan was silent for a while, then spoke.
"Chu Jianxian suffered tribulations for me and went to the heavens on a mission," his voice was soft, yet powerful: "So, I, the one who is fortunate enough to remain in the human world, must take care of the matters he left behind."
Lu Qingshan did not hide the true reason for Chu Mu's departure from the human world.
His words roared like numerous muffled thunders in the minds of these Honorable Realm cultivators, leaving them bewilderedly perplexed.
Why? Why would the Heavenly River Sword Immortal, a Demi-Ancestor, choose to sacrifice himself to endure tribulations for Lu Qingshan?
These powerful cultivators who had witnessed countless tempests fell deep into confusion.
He was the Heavenly River Sword Immortal, after all, the foremost of the Human Race. Who could possibly be worthy of such sacrifice?
Everyone was in extreme shock and confusion, their spirits scattered.
"Chu Jianxian is no longer among us, someone needs to take over the responsibilities that he bore," Lu Qingshan glanced at the still thoroughly shocked people and continued: "You may ask, why me?"
"The reason is very simple."
"Chu Jianxian entrusted me with the Heaven and Earth Sword, essentially entrusting me with Heavenly River City, with the fate of all Humans."
"Of course, this alone may not suffice to convince everyone," Lu Qingshan stated calmly: "Therefore, today I shall give you a reason."
He raised his arm.
Gently said, "Come."
The next scene was what truly rendered these seasoned Honorable Realm cultivators eternally unforgettable.
Fifteen minutes earlier, the seven sword lights that had scattered away returned to crash into the building in sequence.
First, a streak of purple flew in, suspended in the hall, the sword tip stringing an entire head, piercing right through the center of the forehead.
A pair of green eyes stared wide in shock, the terror still visible in them, unable to rest in peace.
The head's owner: Tian Gu Demon Venerable from the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan, a High Ranking Demon Venerable.
Then came the Demon Suppressing Sword, the first to leave, also carrying a fine head into the building.
The head's owner: Ming Du Demon Venerable, a top-level Demon Venerable from the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan.
Fuyao, Peach Blossom, Oblivion, Dragon Sparrow, Heaven and Earth, one sword followed another into the building.
Bi Shi Demon Venerable, Blazing Fire Demon Venerable, Fu Shi Demon Venerable, Flying Cicada Demon Venerable, Nine Wheels Demon Venerable.
Another five distinguished heads.
Everyone stood in stunned silence, their minds completely unable to process.
The owners of these heads were actually Demon Venerables of the Northern Barbarian Clan.
Moreover, at the very least, they were all High Ranking Demon Venerables, with even two at the same level as Honorable Realm cultivators as top-level Demon Venerables.
Such beings, even for them, were not easily slain on a battlefield.
Yet now, seven flying swords carried seven spectacular heads before their eyes.
The master of the flying swords remained seated from beginning to end.
What kind of feat was this?
It is said that a Sword Immortal could take an enemy's head from a thousand miles away like retrieving an item from a pocket, but the question is, how many more miles is it between Heavenly River City and the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan?
That is, across the Heavenly River Sea!
In other words, Lu Qingshan's seven flying swords, within this short quarter of an hour, traversed the Heavenly River Sea, entered the Liyang Domain, claimed the heads of seven Northern Barbarian Demon Venerables, and returned with these seven heads to Heavenly River City.
In ancient times, Immortals traveled from the Northern Sea to Cangwu from morning to night, but now, it seems, it is nothing special!
These elder Honorable Realm cultivators found their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Not knowing whether out of excitement or shock.
They finally dared to raise their heads to gaze directly at Lu Qingshan.
In their eyes, there was now a newfound reverence.
"I hope this reason satisfies you all." Lu Qingshan said thus.
