The Way of The Dao

"He is fine!"

Zhang Xinya exclaimed in relief as she felt Ling Tian's thought reach her heart, feeling that he was expressing to her that he was fine.

All the other women breathed in relief as well, likewise receiving Ling Tian's feeling in their hearts. Undoubtedly tension, nervousness and worry filled their hearts as they saw that Ling Tian had been strangely injured.

When they saw Ling Tian's shoulder burst into a few pieces of flesh and blood, their hearts stopped and they felt like they couldn't breathe!

After all, the confidence and feeling Ling Tian conveyed to them was confident and calm, as if even if the sky were to fall he would not frown and would have a way to work it out. But seeing him hurt in such a way filled the hearts of these women with anguish and suffering.

And now that they saw that Ling Tian was well and even attacked and more seriously wounded the enemy, the tensions loosened and they became animated again.

"Husband..." Mu Shuiruo had some tears in her eyes, looking at Ling Tian's figure through the projection and praying for his well-being. Just seeing Ling Tian hurt caused pain and worry in her tender and soft heart.

"Defeat that bastard!" Long Yuyin shouted in fury as she clenched her daggers; her eyes also had some tears but in smaller quantity unlike Mu Shuiruo. Long Yuyin glared at the old man with fury and rage, wanting to be in that place and finish him off for hurting Ling Tian!

"He's a powerful enemy..." Tang Wanying clenched her hand over her chest, speaking seriously as she watched what was happening in the other place. Her heart was also worried about Ling Tian and she knew that he had finally encountered a powerful enemy.

"Sword intention taken to an astonishing height can go beyond any common cultivation and power base." Yun Mengxin narrowed her eyes and looked at Ling Tian, completely trusting him. Ling Tian's past was clearly not like a simple tour in paradise; she saw unpleasant, distressing, helpless and painful moments in Ling Tian's memories, moments where Ling Tian crawled from the bottom of the abyss to survive imminent deaths.

It seemed that everything Ling Tian did was easy, but Yun Mengxin knew more than anyone else all that Ling Tian had to do and endure to get to where he did, all that he had to experience and learn. Therefore, Yun Mengxin was among the least worried and even almost very calm, although the hint of worry was there, she trusted Ling Tian and knew about his own strength and ability even though he was crippled and suppressed by the world.

Moreover, trust in her man was paramount, as his wife, she had full confidence and trust regarding Ling Tian!

"Take care of yourselves!"

Suddenly, Ling Tian's voice was heard in their hearts, startling the women. This word seemed to carry his worries for them and warnings not to let their guard down.

"Look!"

Tang Wanying shouted in surprise and the other women were also stunned to see what was happening in the projection: hundreds of thousands of swords formed even by the very crystals and mirrors of the place pointed at Ling Tian while Hang Liang pointed his own sword at Ling Tian.

...

Ling Tian once again took out a low-level sword from his storage ring; looking at the thousands of swords of different shapes and energies in the sky, a hint of anticipation shone in his eyes.

The swords in the sky did not seem to transmit any kind of energy as if they were simply illusions, not even cultivation essence or immortal essence could be felt in them, but Ling Tian could feel the sense of danger slightly increase, his instincts expressing to him that he had to do some work.

Even a simple withered leaf on the ground had become sharp and exuded a powerful fierce energy!

Ling Tian smiled slightly and took a somewhat deep breath; the feeling of danger was once again returning to him, feeling that urge to once again exploit his potential and power, fighting against worthy and powerful enemies.

Then, Ling Tian stepped fiercely on the ground and leapt with his sheer strength of his body, reaching Hang Liang in the blink of an eye as he wielded his sword and slashed in the direction towards him. His eyes slightly showed anticipation and expectation, being the first to strike.

The swords in the sky disappeared the next moment, as if they had never existed. Another powerful energy collided with them and they all disappeared.

Hang Liang finally grinned expectantly as well, receiving Ling Tian's attack and slashing in the direction towards him in the same way, wanting to counterattack quickly.

Ling Tian and Hang Liang exchanged sword clashes only once before disappearing from the spot and appearing again in another, as if time and space had been altered.

But then, each and every place where Hang Liang's summoned swords had previously been were fiercely torn apart, letting in the horrible forces of the void before closing up!

And it seemed as if the space was torn into two parts, as if a mighty clash of swords had exploded and broken the place!

Ling Tian had countered all of Hang Liang's attacks!

"That's what I'm talking about! Hahaha!"

Hang Liang laughed crazily and threw a fist in Ling Tian's direction, discarding his own sword. This fist carried a powerful Chi and even carried a hint of sword intent.

Be one with the sword!

Anyone who can comprehend the mysterious and endless way of the sword, can carry a sword intent in their body and turn their limbs into a sword!

Ling Tian also threw a simple punch, following Hang Liang's fighting style. But this fist was simple and soft, without any energy or sword intent compared to Hang Liang.

Hang Liang frowned as he felt a sense of crisis when he saw Ling Tian's simple fist, without any Chi or sword essence. Even his fist looked huge and fierce compared to Ling Tian's soft fist and delicate skin.

The fists collided and created a light shockwave that spread imperceptibly, altering the space and time of the place.

Hang Liang felt as if he was being suppressed by the entire world, with a mysterious and unknown force repelling his own attack. Without hesitation, Hang Liang did not last a second and withdrew his fist, retreating several meters away and impacting the large spirit crystals and empty mirrors on the spot, creating destruction in his path.

Hang Liang gasped fiercely and looked earnestly at Ling Tian. They'd only been fighting for three encounters and he had always been at a disadvantage!

The dragon mask always conveyed a hint of unease to him, as if he had really encountered something troublesome this time.

"Who are you? I've never heard of you before!"

Hang Liang asked solemnly, looking with seriousness and a hint of fear at Ling Tian. Where he came from, only those old monsters hundreds of thousands of years old could give him battle. Ling Tian's punch clearly had a hint of sword intent, but it was an understanding in the way of the sword much deeper and different.

In a few swings of punches, this young man's great combat experience and kind of unfathomable strength was clearly above them, even more than his own!

If it were someone else, he fears he would have killed him from the very first move...

"I'm just a cripple."

Ling Tian casually sneered; he had asked him earlier if he came from the gods' territory and Hang Liang only replied that he didn't deserve to know.

The vein on Hang Liang's forehead became marked and he became angry. Since when did a mere kid dare to talk to him like that? Since time immemorial from children to old men have always spoken respectfully to him, worshipping him as one of the highest pinnacles of the heavens!

The strong is always feared and respected, but now it seemed that this young man who has not fully grown up despises him!

But even as a single youth, Hang Laing still reasoned and knew that Ling Tian had the right to be like this; such understanding in the way of the sword undoubtedly far surpassed his own.

"Let's see if you'll still be able to mock in a few moments!"

Hang Liang wanted to break the dragon mask that hid Ling Tian's face, wanting to see who was behind it and know if it was some expert who had possessed a young man's body; there was a mysterious barrier around Ling Tian that prevented him from seeing through his body and aura, denying him from being able to recognize him.

"There is a heaven above another heaven, experts greater than you know..."

"So much nonsense!"

Ling Tian sneered and returned to attack Hang Liang once again. This time, Ling Tian once again delivered a single punch. An essence of sword intent finally sensed in it and struck in Hang Liang's direction.

Hang Liang smiled and laughed like crazy, feeling one of the greatest feelings of crisis in their lives, as if the next moment he would die if he did nothing. He had long wanted to break free from the shackles and put up a good fight too!

"The sword is coming!"

Hang Liang raised his hand and the sword appeared in it again, but this time, all the energies of the world began to pour into it, drawing them in from the horizon.

"I will show you the true essence of my great sword!"
