Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 240: Nine Calamity Destiny?

“Is it really?” Ji Mo asked, though his eyes were filled with a sense of certainty. If it weren't true, why had he improved so much in the blink of an eye?

There could be no other explanation besides the way of martial arts...

Thus, Ji Mo felt increasingly unbalanced—why did he comprehend the way of martial arts after a single battle, while I could only turn into a pig's head? The gap between people is simply too vast!

Besides feeling tangled and depressed, Ji Mo also felt some unwillingness, but more than that, he was eager to try: perhaps... after one more battle, he would comprehend it too?

Rocky Luo and Rui Butong, who were nearby, shared the same sentiment. They were also eyeing Gu Duxing, their minds racing: Just because Ji Mo can't do it... doesn’t mean we can't! With Ji Mo’s pig brain... how could he comprehend it? His intelligence is far inferior to mine...

Thus, the two of them were equally eager to give it a shot...

Gu Duxing coldly watched the three of them, clearly aware of their little schemes; hmph, as long as you dare to challenge my authority as the second brother, I will definitely make you suffer worse than Ji Mo...

Sure enough, after some deliberation, Rocky Luo sprang out excitedly, arrogantly shouting: “Awoo... Second Brother, I want to duel with you!”

Upon hearing the term "Second Brother" again, Gu Duxing's eyes nearly turned red...

Since you want to seek punishment, failing to accommodate you would be a great disservice to myself for being called Second Brother by you with such a lack of respect...

About two hours later, Rocky Luo and Rui Butong had become compliant.

Now, the two of them lay together with Ji Mo, and at first glance, it was indeed hard to tell them apart... their bodies were all... swollen... This is simply a trio of triplets!

In Iron Cloud City, inside a small tavern.

The person in blue, who was leisurely sipping from a wine jug, suddenly stood up and vanished into thin air at the moment the second segment of the Nine Calamity Sword emerged, reappearing atop the highest building in Iron Cloud City.

Standing in a hazy white light, he looked at the bizarre phenomena occurring in the sky and murmured to himself: “Nine Calamity Sword Master! The Nine Calamity Sword Master has finally begun to grow... but is this a blessing or a curse for the Nine Heavens Continent?”

After standing in a daze for a moment, he softly remarked: “It seems those old fellows have to take action as well; this upper three heavens will soon be tumultuous... I wonder how long the growth cycle of the Nine Calamity Sword Master will be? If it's slow... then the upper three heavens will be plunged into a lengthy war.”

Shaking his head with a laugh, he said: “The Nine Calamity Sword emerges from the lower three heavens, but the source of chaos and the biggest victims are the upper three heavens; what a pity!”

At that time when the Nine Calamity Sword shone brightly, Diwu Qingrou was strolling in the garden, chatting with Gao Sheng. Suddenly, the world around them plunged into a blinding whiteness. Diwu Qingrou's expression changed slightly as she said, “Could it be the Nine Calamity Sword Master again?”

Gao Sheng showed a look of shock and replied: “Exactly! According to family records, this kind of phenomenon indicates that the Nine Calamity Sword Master has found the second segment of the Nine Calamity Sword, and the sword tip has returned to its rightful place!”

“Hmm...” Diwu Qingrou paced a few steps and then stopped, saying: “If I remember correctly, this second segment of the sword tip is meant for killing, right?”

Gao Sheng appeared somewhat surprised and said: “You are correct, Lord Xiang.” Who would have thought Diwu Qingrou had some understanding of the legends regarding the Nine Calamity Sword?

“The Nine Calamity Sword emerges, and the world turns upside down.” Diwu Qingrou pondered for a moment before continuing, softly saying: “Could the Nine Calamity Sword Master exist within the national court? Or perhaps... hmm?”
