Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1698: Ghost Sword & Demon Blade 🗡️⚔️

Published: March 9, 2025

A moment later, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky as if they had materialized out of thin air, standing tall and imposing.

With their appearance, an overwhelming pressure and endless majesty emerged. This was the confidence that had governed the world for ten thousand years, a resolute righteousness!

But at this moment, this confidence morphed into a strange and domineering aura, making people feel particularly uncomfortable.

The cold, stern gazes of the two individuals fell sharply upon the crowd below.

In the next moment, two black beams of light shot into the sky; one to the left and one to the right, sweeping forward.

Clang, clang, clang, clang…

Countless long swords suddenly drew themselves from their sheaths below, shining brilliantly. Many people were left in shock, watching their swords leave their scabbards of their own accord, a thought surfacing in their minds, which was then completely overwhelmed by the realization: “Supreme of Swords!”

Almost simultaneously, countless knives also let out a long, sharp cry and drew from their sheaths, some extending nearly half a foot.

This meant that in addition to the Supreme of Swords, there was also a Supreme of Blades!

Faced with the powerful assault of the law enforcers, both the blade and the sword’s supreme beings stood ready to counterattack.

In mid-air, four overwhelming auras of ninth rank supreme clashed against each other, spreading outward in waves; this powerful aura unabashedly continued to emanate in circles.

Below, nearly everyone trembled under the sudden surge of strength, feeling as if the apocalypse was upon them, thinking that at any moment, they might meet their end.

“Are you perhaps nine calamity individuals? Since you've come, why not state your names? So we won't have to send nameless souls to the Yellow Springs!” A tall ninth rank supreme shouted coldly, his words laced with a strong killing intent.

Gu Duxing chuckled coldly and said, “For tens of thousands of years, the law enforcers have always been the strongest aides of the nine calamity sword master. Yet today, with the heavenly demons bringing chaos to the world, you are the first to rebel against the nine calamity, rebel against the Nine Heavens? Are you truly willing to become the puppets of the heavenly demons?!”

The tall ninth rank supreme's expression remained unchanged, but dark energy swelled in his eyes as he coldly replied, “This seat is the ghost sword Duan Tiansong. I traverse the Nine Heavens under my sword and have never slain nameless individuals. I advise you to state your name! You may not mind your anonymity going to the Nine Springs, but I do mind having a record of slaying a nine calamity individual and not knowing who exactly I have slain!”

The shorter figure let out a strange laugh, saying, “I am the demon blade ancestor, He Liu! I truly do not mind knowing your names; after all, you are but people destined to die!”

At this moment, a commotion arose among the crowd below.

The upper echelons of several of the nine great families displayed shocked expressions.

The arrivals were indeed the ghost sword Duan Tiansong and the demon blade ancestor He Liu!

These two were top assassins among the law enforcers. They were known to be ruthless against any enemy of the law enforcers, and it was not the main point that they had never been heard of suffering defeat.

These two had long become members of the elder hall within the law enforcers; their status was only slightly below that of Fengyue.

The combined forces of these two were only slightly inferior to Fengyue.

All the martial arts experts feared their names!

Who would have thought that the Law Sovereign would refrain from making a move until now, and when he did, it was to unleash two of the top ace fighters governing the world!

A sudden silence fell.

The law enforcement experts under the Law Sovereign, fresh off the presses of the nine calamity legend!

They were about to collide head-on for the first time; who would win and who would lose?
