Nine Yang Sword Saint

“Five-year promise?” Dongfang Bingling said. “Oh, that five-year promise. Back on that sea, because my mother was trying to commit suicide to save you, I promised to give you five more years of life. In five years, I would kill you and take back the Ring of Flames.”

Afterward, Dongfang Bingling added, “Since I’m allowing you to return to the Yin Yang Sect, then I will not kill you in five years. Such a promise will naturally be canceled. You don’t have to worry. But you must still hand over the Sect Patriarch’s command right. Of course, seeing the relationship you have with my father, I will let you hold onto the Ring of Flames during normal occasions. Because once you are sufficiently strong, I will hand over all the internal affairs of the Yin Ying Sect to you. Then, you will govern over everyone in the Yin Yang Sect and be second only to me.”

Yang Dingtian was utterly speechless.

The five-year promise was like a ghastly scar that was etched in his heart, that reminded him constantly to grow stronger, to take back his dignity.

The five-year promise had even become his lifelong mission. It became an important part of his life.

The five-year promise already took up a huge portion of space in his heart, and it had completely become the objective that he would die fighting for.

But Dongfang Bingling actually seemed to have forgotten about it. In her heart, this five-year promise was merely made under the pressure from her mother, and it was to give Yang Dingtian five more years of life, which meant that after five years, she would simply take the Ring of Flames away from him.

Leaving aside the fact that she didn’t treat Yang Dingtian as an opponent, she didn’t even treat him as dust.

This was the most sorrowful thing, and nothing could surpass it. You treat your opponent as a lifelong enemy and strive towards the goal of defeating her.

But your opponent had actually forgotten about this matter completely.

Such humiliation was actually even much worse than the time when Dongfang Bingling refused the marriage agreement with Yang Dingtian.

Despite the fact that she didn’t do it intentionally, in her eyes, there was no trace of Yang Dingtian’s figure.

Right now, Yang Dingtian couldn’t even get angry as he just chuckled, burying all those unyielding feelings and humiliations in his heart.

“I am going to become stronger. I am going to become stronger. One day, I will stand on top of the world in front of you and use my sword to tell you that I, Yang Dingtian, am much more magnificent and stronger than you, Dongfang Bingling,” Yang Dingtian roared in his heart. But his face had this faint smile as he said, “Yes, I am talking about that.”

Dongfang Bingling was astonished for a moment before she spoke. “You wouldn’t be thinking of actually challenging me in five years?”

Yang Dingtian nodded with a serious expression.

Dongfang Bingling’s eyes turned cold as she commented, “I didn’t think there would be someone who was so ignorant.”

Shortly after, Dongfang Bingling spoke indifferently, “That means to say that you are refusing my goodwill?”

“Yes,” Yang Dingtian replied.

Dongfang Bingling gestured with jade hands and said, “Then, I understand. You may go back.”

That gesture was just like she was patting off some dust.

“I shall take my leave then,” Yang Dingtian replied and turned to leave.

“That’s right, Senior Yang. I have something to tell you,” Dongfang Bingling said. “Using the Yin Yang Festival to achieve a breakthrough in mystic qi isn’t considered talent, and there will not be a second event like that. It is useless even if the sword art is profound. It will at best be similar to the group of women from the Seven Refined Lane, who can only put on some demonstrations for pleasure. Don’t lose yourself just because you have these two things and overestimate yourself. You will only cause your own ruin.”

Yang Dingtian let out a faint smile and replied, “Many thanks for Fairy Dongfang’s warning. I have learned a lot.”

Yang Dingtian continued to walk outside.

Just at this moment, an incomparably enchanting voice echoed from the outside, which was hoarse and sexy, icy and arrogant, yet filled with this magic that had the ability to entice.

“Dongfang Bingling, since you are in the Northwest Continent, I really want to take a look at you. Why don’t you come out?”

This voice wasn’t loud, but it resonated in everyone’s heart, which caused an itch in everyone’s body, an itch that enticed you to extend your hand to scratch.

Just the voice itself had this devilish charm.

Dongfang Bingling’s expression changed slightly. Without a doubt, this woman was an expert of the elite class.

She was a female expert that Dongfang Bingling had never seen before.

Right now, Yang Dingtian was already outside the doors and could hear this woman’s voice, but he couldn’t see her figure.

“Where is this demon woman? You actually dare to barge into my Willow Silk Manor. You must be courting death!” Soon after, another voice broke out from the outside.

Afterward, the steward of Willow Silk Manor led a few dozen warriors and suddenly leaped into the sky, rushing towards the direction where that woman’s voice came from.

At this moment, Yang Dingtian had blurred vision as he saw a figure appeared under a huge tree out of nowhere.

It was a woman, a woman wearing men’s clothes and a golden mask. Her face wasn’t revealed, but it exposed her pair of eyes, which were captivating like a river of stars that glimmered in deep seclusion.

Despite wearing men’s clothes, her slender and delicate body had curves like undulating mountains, which were filled with a devilish charm.

This was a woman with the most enchanting figure that Yang Dingtian had ever seen. She was also the woman with the most captivating eyes.

“Demon woman, how dare you show yourself? Receive your death!”

The steward of the Willow Silk Manor, Liu Chengyan, laughed and suddenly pounced at the woman like a goshawk hunting a rabbit.

He was a Martial Mystic Class expert, and this leap of his was extremely imposing and powerful.

“Swish…” That woman’s sleeve gently flicked.

In an instant, the Martial Mystic Class Liu Chengyan and the several warriors from the manor that rushed over were abruptly turned into smithereens in midair.

There wasn’t a hint of a scream nor any cry of surprise. They were immediately dissected and turned into pieces of flesh, which were all the size of sand, spraying everywhere, dying the ground completely in red.

Yang Dingtian was in utter shock!

This woman was actually so powerful and completely surpassed all of Yang Dingtian’s comprehension.

A Martial Mystic Class expert and several warriors from the manor were instantly killed with a flick of her sleeve.

After killing them, this woman looked towards Dongfang Bingling’s direction and laughed while saying, “I have always heard that Dongfang Bingling is the world’s no.1 youth expert. Her unparalleled talent is something no one can beat. She is destined to be the world’s no.1 in fifteen years. So, I have come specially to take a look.”

“Haha! What kind of status does Fairy Dongfang have? Would she need to make a move against a lowly person like you?” Suddenly, straightforward laughter could be heard from the loft. This voice was very familiar as it was Fall City Sword Sect’s Yun Wanli.

He then appeared like a butterfly, drifting out from the loft and standing on the corner edge of the roof.

He had already changed into a snow-white long robe, and his hair was combed in a tidy manner, instantly restoring his handsome and confident outlook. He was currently standing on the corner edge of the roof, and as the breeze blew across, it made him look even more dashing as he exuded the demeanor of an expert.

Yun Wanli held his sword and stood tall, looking down pridefully at the golden-masked woman below and said, “Since you are so foolish and ignorant, let me teach you a lesson on Fairy Dongfang’s behalf. You are a woman, so I shall let you have the first move.”

Yun Wanli held his sword with a single hand while his other hand was placed behind.

It was obvious that he didn’t see the scene in which Liu Chengyan had been killed earlier. Today, he had been completely humiliated by Yang Dingtian. Hence, he was changing his clothes earlier. Apart from thinking of ways to turn Yang Dingtian’s corpse into thousands of pieces, he was also thinking of how he could restore his reputation in front of Dongfang Bingling.

He never would have expected a foolish woman to come knocking and challenge Dongfang Bingling. It was truly an opportunity given by heaven.

He thought it was just the right moment for Dongfang Bingling to see how formidable he was. It was also a chance for him to demonstrate how powerful and elegant the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword was after it was enhanced with mystic qi.

Furthermore, there were plenty of experts from the Northwest Continent in the manor. Hence, he didn’t believe his life was in danger.

“May I know who you are?” the golden masked woman asked.

“Fall City Sword Sect, Yun Wanli.” Yun Wanli spoke with a reserved tone. “You are a woman. Please make your first move.”

Right now, he didn’t see how Yang Dingtian was looking at him like he was an idiot. Of course, Ning Ruohan and even Dongfang Bingling was looking in his direction but had the same expressions, as if they were looking at an idiot. But Yun Wanli interpreted this subtle feeling as if he was at the center of everyone’s attention.

The golden-masked woman looked at Yun Wanli who was on the roof and replied, “Alright, then I shall not hold back.”

“Come as you like…,” Yun Wanli said as he laughed.

The golden-masked woman unsheathed her artifact sword and slashed towards the sky.

“Swish…” In an instant, the dashing Yun Wanli, who was drifting like an immortal, was immediately cleaved in half before he fell to the ground.

Not a single scream was heard. Not even blood flowed.

In this instant, Yang Dingtian did have a little sympathy towards this moron. Everyone obviously knew he was going to throw his life away, but no one said anything to stop him. It was clear that everyone hated this Yun Wanli who relied on that tiny bit of relation to the Hidden Sect to ride roughshod over everyone.

After killing Yun Wanli, that golden masked woman commented, “I actually thought he was strong.”

She was truly a demon woman who even stomped her victim’s corpse viciously after killing them.

Dongfang Bingling was still in the loft as she asked indifferently, “May I know who you are?”

“Temple of Ten Thousand Blood, Dugu Fengwu,” that woman in the golden mask replied enthusiastically.

After announcing her origin, there were plenty of gasps of surprise that came from the manor.

The Temple of Ten Thousand Blood was one of the leading figures of the Evil Dao. Two centuries ago, when the Shrine Master of the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination initiated the world-exterminating war, the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood was his right and left arms.

The Evil Dao… It was actually the Evil Dao.

After vanishing without a trace for two centuries, the Evil Dao actually emerged once again.

Furthermore, they immediately challenged the Heaven Dao Union’s no.1 prodigy, Dongfang Bingling, with a woman that had bewitching charm.

“Evil Dao’s demon woman, you are not qualified to challenge the fairy of our Heaven Dao Union. I, Bai Zhange, of the Yin Yang Sect shall try your skills.” A tall and sturdy figure suddenly rushed towards the sky. The sharp sword in his hand was like a shooting star, which thrust towards Dugu Fengwu ferociously.

It was Bai Zhange, Dongfang Bingling’s Master Uncle, who was of the same generation as Dongfang Niemie. He was the youngest junior among his generation.

Five Star Martial Ancestor!

Hence, once this blade was executed, it was extremely impressive and shocking.

When Dugu Fengwu saw Bai Zhange diving at her, she remained still, and when the distance between them was twenty feet, the sharp sword in her hand gently slashed across the sky.

“Swish…”

Fresh blood spurted violently as Bai Zhange’s large head flew several meters away.

A Martial Ancestor Class expert was still instantly killed in one move!

Dongfang Bingling still didn’t step in.

Right now, all those experts who were on the same floor of the loft as Yang Dingtian and the chiefs of the Northwest Continent all stood up.

The leader among them yelled out, “Everyone, attack together. There is no need to care about righteousness when dealing with such Evil Dao demons!”

After that statement, more than a dozen individuals leaped into the air and dashed towards Dugu Fengwu in unison.

These individuals were all chiefs that governed lands that were a hundred miles wide, and every one of them was a Martial Ancestor Class expert.

The imposing presence of these experts in the air was truly astounding, and it looked as though they were about to tear this Dugu Fengwu into pieces.

Dugu Fengwu’s captivating eyes had this trace of mockery as her body flashed and instantly vanished from Yang Dingtian’s eyes.

Suddenly, the manor was filled with this fascinating fragrance because Dugu Fengwu was drifting everywhere at once.

“Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish…”

As the sword light shivered, it was like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

“Ah…”

“Ah…”

“Ah…”

“Ah…”

Bloodcurdling screams echoed one after the other as all these chiefs from the Northwest Continent fell like dumplings into the water.

After they landed, fresh blood sprayed violently while their bones were crushed. Their mystic meridians were shattered. Their inner organs were smashed and had all turned into a pulp of flesh.

“Fairy Dongfang sure is ruthless, huh? She is actually unconcerned after seeing so many people die.” The golden masked woman spoke apathetically. “Then, don’t blame me for causing a massacre here in the manor.”

After her words ended, Dugu Fengwu’s figure vanished from Yang Dingtian’s eyes again as she moved swiftly through the courtyard like a phantom.

Which was quickly followed by a burst of fresh blood and miserable screams.

In just half a minute, Dugu Fengwu came back to her original position without any traces of blood on her body. There wasn’t a drop of blood on her sword either.

“Why are there only slightly more than a hundred individuals here? I have yet to quell my craving for killing,” Dugu Fengwu stated dully.

Meanwhile, Yang Dingting was truly trembling right now. When people talked about how evil and cruel the Evil Dao was before, he didn’t get much of an impression.

Right now, he finally witnessed it personally. Over a hundred martial artists, wiped out in a blink of the eye, even before they could frown. All these lives were treated like dirt.

Every inch of Yang Dingtian’s body was steeped in deep shock and ice-cold fear.

Moreover, the one who was even more ruthless than Dugu Fengwu was Dongfang Bingling, who everyone regarded as the almighty fairy with the utmost admiration. The people of the Willow Silk Manor were the people of the Yin Yang Sect, but in order to observe Dugu Fengwu’s strength, she actually allowed the opposition to conduct a massacre.

Her state of mind was so tough, cold, and ruthless like no one Yang Dingtian had ever seen or ever heard of.

After finishing her statement, Dugu Fengwu gently swung her jade arm as though her hand was sore from all those killings.

Then, her captivating eyes suddenly landed on Yang Dingtian and Ning Ruohan. She then said insipidly, “So, I have yet to finish killing, and there are two more here. It is actually a man. Dongfang Bingling, is he your lover?”

Without waiting for Dongfang Bingling’s answer, Dugu Fengwu said dully, “Since killing a few hundred individuals is also killing, then one or two more will not make a difference. I shall just kill them too.”

Finishing her statement, she lifted her jade hands and slashed through the air with her artifact sword, towards Yang Dingtian and Ning Ruohan.

This sword qi was shadowless and formless, but it was lethal!

Yang Dingtian could see the severing of the dense branches, the thick pillar, and the hard boulder.

The strange thing was, this sword qi actually wasn’t lightning fast, and by the time it was in front of him, more than a second had passed.

This demon woman actually made it so artistic even when she was killing someone.

Yang Dingtian could distinctly see that this sword qi was going to cut across his waist directly.

Originally, Yang Dingtian wanted to dodge quickly but then decided to remain still because he was wearing the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, which could withstand mystic qi attacks. This sword qi was made up entirely of mystic qi.

The sword qi would arrive soon.

At this moment, Yang Dingtian noticed the pale look on Ning Ruohan’s face. She was standing there foolishly, as though she was frightened by the bloody scene in front of her.

In his eyes, this young lass with small breasts was about to be cut in half and turned into a ruined piece of jade.

“Sigh, forget it, I shall save your life!” Yang Dingtian thought in his heart as he turned lightning-fast and dove towards her.

“What are you doing?” Ning Ruohan was astonished as she yelled out delicately.

Meanwhile, the sword qi ferociously struck Yang Dingtian’s back.

Yang Dingtian and Ning Ruohan both flew like rice straws.

“Bang…” At the same moment, Dongfang Bingling’s body burst with mystic qi.

In an instant, the giant loft was blown up into smithereens.

Dongfang Bingling’s delicate body flew up a hundred meters into the sky. She was wielding her sword and looked just like a mystic woman from the nine heavens.

“Dugu Fengwu, I know you.” Dongfang Bingling looked down at the masked woman and said, “Evil Dao’s no.1 prodigy, the daughter of the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood’s Temple Master, Dugu Xiao. You are also known as the Devil Woman of the Nine Heavens. After seeing you today, you are nothing much.”

Dugu Fengwu abruptly flew up to midair and floated. She was a hundred meters away from Dongfang Bingling. She smiled and said, “Is that so? Then, we shall have a good fight today and see who is more formidable. Is it your Heaven Dao Union or my Evil Dao?”

“Sure…,” Dongfang Bingling replied indifferently, “I haven’t encountered an opponent like you in a very long time.”

Finishing her statement, her sword straightened while her body burst with limitless mystic qi, which instantly enveloped the entire sky over Willow Silk Manor.

The exceptional fight between the two generation prodigies of the Evil Dao and Heaven Dao Union was about to begin!
