Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Boom!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Two terrifying beams of Sword Qi shot up into the sky from the Divine Sword Pond, splitting the heavens of the Secret Realm and forming two massive holes.

The Sword Intent continually released, spreading to the surroundings, as the entire Secret Realm vibrated under its fearsome power.

"What strong Sword Intent!"

The Heavenly Prides of Jiuzhou, who were scattered around the Secret Realm seeking opportunities or engaged in lethal battles, all looked toward the direction of the Divine Sword Pavilion, and shortly afterward, a portion of them shot towards it like meteors cleaving through the sky.

Such powerful Sword Intent was, of course, a peerless treasure for Sword Cultivators, but it wasn't as attractive to other cultivators.

Unless they were helping a close friend or an ally, most would not usually come to contest it.

With the time they had, they would rather continue seeking opportunities that suited them.

Even so, there were still three to four hundred Heavenly Prides who gradually arrived at the Divine Sword Pavilion.

And those who were already at the Divine Sword Pavilion, like Long Shaoyu and other Heavenly Prides, had arrived at the Divine Sword Pond much earlier.

At this moment, the pool water of the Divine Sword Pond had already been half-consumed by the Divine Sword Fruit, and the Sword Qi fog that once shrouded the pool had also dissipated by half. Although it still somewhat affected the cultivators' mental focus and vision, it was much better than before.

"Sword Qi reaching the heavens, water levels plummeting, the Divine Sword Fruit has matured, rush for it!"

No one knew who shouted, but in an instant, numerous Heavenly Prides raced towards it.

"Get lost, the Divine Sword Fruit is mine!"

Furthermore, some unleashed sword techniques, calling forth powerful all-encompassing Sword Qi attacks.

Strong Heavenly Prides dodged or blocked, while the weaker ones were killed on the spot.

"Those who block me, die!"

A Heavenly Pride roared, swinging a thirty-foot Giant Sword. Its Sword Qi swept through everything, killing those who couldn't dodge in time.

No sooner had they entered the Divine Sword Pond than a brutal slaughter erupted, spilling blood into the waters of the pond.

The Sword Qi of the Divine Sword Pond, influenced by the aura of slaughter and the stench of blood, even began to turn red from the thin Sword Qi fog.

Long Shaoyu stood by the edge of the pond, not stepping in immediately, but instead scanning his surroundings with a frown, as if he was looking for something.

"Young master, aren't we going to join the fight?"

The bow-carrying youth stood by, clutching his large bow.

"Yes, young master, what if the Divine Sword Fruit is taken by others if we are too late?"

The square-faced youth also spoke anxiously.

Their objective in coming to the Divine Sword Pavilion was to seize the Divine Sword Fruit and forge a Sword Body for Long Shaoyu; they could not afford to let others snatch it first.

"No rush!"

Long Shaoyu shook his head, his gaze sweeping across the Heavenly Prides fighting fiercely in the Divine Sword Pond, and said indifferently, "When the Divine Sword Fruit has just matured, it will be protected by a Sword Qi Protective Shield, and moreover, the Sword Beasts inside the pond, influenced by the blood and aura of slaughter, will gradually become bloodthirsty beasts, making them more fearsome. Seizing the Divine Sword Fruit is not so easy. These people are merely cannon fodder; our real opponents are not them."

The square-faced youth and the bow-carrying youth were taken aback, looking carefully at the Divine Sword Pond, they noticed that the water had turned red and even the Sword Qi fog had changed color.

At this moment, the Sword Qi within the Divine Sword Pond was no longer pure Sword Qi, it could be called Slaughter Sword Energy. Being immersed in this Slaughter Sword Energy environment for a long time could erode one's consciousness and increasingly intensify their killing intent.

They looked up again at the surroundings, although more Heavenly Prides kept rushing in to join the battle, there were always some Heavenly Prides hovering in the air who had not made a move; clearly, these were their real opponents.

"Where did those two rascals run off to?"

Long Shaoyu frowned, asking with puzzlement.

"Rascals?"

The square-faced youth and the bow-holding youth paused, then the square-faced youth shook his head and said, "I don't know, we haven't seen them since entering the Divine Sword Pavilion."

After thinking for a moment, the bow-holding youth said, "Young master, those two rascals seem a bit unreliable; they might be feasting somewhere right now, probably having forgotten all about the Divine Sword Fruit. To seize the Divine Sword Fruit, we'll have to rely on ourselves."

Long Shaoyu did not speak, but his brows tightened even more.

The Divine Sword Fruit held a strong attraction for Sword Cultivators. Those two fellows would most likely come, and there might even be more powerful Heavenly Prides arriving. Without those two rascals to share the burden, it would be hard to snatch the Divine Sword Fruit.

"Young master, something feels off," a voice suddenly said.

Just then, the square-faced youth, staring at the now reddened Divine Sword Pond, asked with confusion, "Young master, you just mentioned that the Blood Beasts are murderous, and now the Divine Sword Pond has turned red. Normally, those Sword Beasts should have transformed into Blood Beasts by now; why haven't they attacked the Heavenly Prides within the Divine Sword Pond?"

"Hmm?"

Long Shaoyu then brought his attention back, continuously scrutinizing the Divine Sword Pond, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, "That shouldn't be right. According to father, when the Divine Sword Pond turns red, the Blood Beasts should appear. There should be Sword Beasts transforming into Blood Beasts right now, why is there no movement at all?"

Not only him, but the Heavenly Prides floating in the air were also puzzled, as the current situation was completely different from what their elders had described or what was recorded in the ancient books at their homes.

Where were the numerous, exceedingly strong Sword Beasts they were told about?

Where were the ruthlessly murderous Blood Beasts that wouldn't cease until they killed a cultivator?

Could it be that what their elders had said and what the ancient records stated were all wrong?

As more and more Heavenly Prides entered the Divine Sword Pond, and the aura of slaughter grew heavier, there still was no appearance of Blood Beasts, and someone among those floating in the air couldn't hold back any longer.

"Perhaps there are no Blood Beasts at all; we can't wait any longer."

One of the Heavenly Prides descended from the sky, plunging into the Divine Sword Pond, with Sword Qi swirling around him; wherever he passed, Heavenly Prides fell.

"Well said, seizing the Divine Sword Fruit is crucial."

With one moving, naturally others followed; in an instant, those originally floating in the air all began moving, heading straight towards the two towering pillars of Sword Qi light deep within the Divine Sword Pond.

"Gentlemen, I, Lang Tianya, claim this Divine Sword Fruit," a voice declared.

Just then, a giant silver wolf broke through the air from afar, bringing with it a terrifying Sword Intent.

Where the giant wave passed, wolf howls filled the air, accompanied by the howls, countless Sword Qi burst forth, numerous Heavenly Prides perished.

The next moment, the silver giant wolf disappeared, revealing a young man dressed in a silver wolf robe, standing with a sword, a silver wolf mark on his forehead.

The previous entrants into the Divine Sword Pond might have been considered Heavenly Prides in their own states, but they were nothing compared to a true Heavenly Pride.

Stay tuned with empire

And this young man, who identified himself as Lang Wuya, was indeed a true Heavenly Pride.

Long Shaoyu's gaze intensified; this person was the Sacred State Desolate Saint Heir of the Sky Wolf Sword Sect and the first Heavenly Pride of Desolate State, known as the newest generation of the Sky Wolf Sword Saint.

Like Long Shaoyu, he had early stage Martial Saint Level Cultivation and was one of the four great young Sword Saints of Jiuzhou.

"Lang Tianya?"

At the mention of these three words, the previously entered Heavenly Prides all shuddered, a hint of fear appearing in their eyes.

That was a young Sword Saint, a Martial Saint Level fighter; how could they fight him?
