1159: Sword Graveyard's Fury

Sword Graveyard's Fury

When the bulky man eventually realized the reality of his situation, his clothes became soaked in cold sweat.1

'I cannot even pull away my axe from his grasp! What is happening?! How is he holding onto my axe that is coated with Axe Aura with his bare hands?!'

"Darling! What are you doing?! Hurry up and kill them!" His partner shouted again.

'Damn it! This dumb bitch has no idea the gravity of our situation!' The man cursed inwardly.

Yuan eventually released his grasp on the axe and lowered his hand.

"What should I do with them, Senior Tian?" Yuan asked her for suggestions.

"I don't care as long as you get rid of these eyesores," she said.

Yuan nodded and looked at the couple.

"Those who are prepared to take another's life should also be prepared to have theirs taken from them, right?" Yuan asked them.

"Aaaaargh!" 

The bulky man that had been frozen for some time now suddenly roared like a wild beast. He lifted his axe and swung it again.

"Swift Execution!" The man's aura exploded, and the axe suddenly seemed ten times larger as it flew closer to Yuan and Tian Suyin.

'Let's see if this Sword Body is truly untouchable by weapon auras…' Yuan decided to just stand there without any thoughts of blocking the strike.

"This fool must be frozen with fear!" The woman laughed out loud when she saw him standing there like a statue.

Whoosh!

The massive axe that was aimed directly at Yuan's neck eventually reached its destination. However, forget about severing his head, the axe couldn't even cut his skin.

From the onlookers' eyes, the bulky man had, once again, stopped his axe right before it struck Yuan.

'I-I cannot cut him!' When the bulky man realized that Yuan didn't stop his first attack by mistake, he felt all of the strength in his body disappearing from his body. 

This caused him to lose his grip on the axe, letting it fall into the ground. The bulky man then fell to his knees shortly after.

"Wang Xuan! What the fuck are you doing?!" The woman began cursing at him.

"Forget it! It was a mistake to rely on you! I will take care of them myself!"

The woman decided to take matters into her own hand and retrieved her weapon.

Now with a sword in her grasp, the woman rushed forward while performing a sword technique.

"..."

When the sword was close enough, Yuan closed his hand into a fist except for his middle finger.

He then casually lifted his arm, blocking the woman's sword with his middle finger.

"W-What…?" The woman's eyes nearly popped out of its sockets when she felt an immovable force colliding with her sword, her gaze glued to the single middle finger that was blocking her sword.

After blocking the attack, Yuan coated his middle finger with his Sword Aura, and like knife cutting tofu, his middle finger sliced through the Heaven-grade treasure without any resistance.

Thud.

The woman looked at the sword with a broken blade in her grasp with a baffled expression on her face. The spectators present shared similar reactions.

'This show-off…" Jin Xi muttered in a low voice after witnessing everything.

After a moment of dead silence, the woman suddenly turned to look at the Silvermoon Soulblade beside them.

Perhaps she had experienced such shock that her mind became roasted, but the woman was no longer thinking clearly.

In one swift movement, she extended her arm and grabbed onto the hilt of the sword.

When the cultivators around them saw this, their immediate reaction was to flee the area, and it wasn't just them.

"That crazy bitch touched the Silvermoon Soulblade! Run if you don't want to get caught up in her punishment!"

Every cultivator inside the Sword Graveyard quickly scrambled to get out of the graveyard.

"Huh?" The woman snapped back to reality after hearing such words, and she immediately released the sword.

The woman had barely touched the sword for a second, but it was already too late, as the sky above them quickly darkened.

Seeing this, Yuan grabbed Tian Suyin and pulled her away as he distanced himself from the couple.

The woman attempted to flee as well, but she remained still, as if bound by invisible shackles that rendered her utterly immobile, her very essence paralyzed by an unseen force beyond her comprehension.

A profound and eerie silence blanketed the graveyard, broken only by the faint rustle of wind through the trees, until suddenly, as if stirred by an otherworldly force, the thousands of swords resting within the graveyard began to tremble, their ancient blades resonating with a palpable and ominous energy that reverberated through the very air itself.

The swords stopped trembling after a few seconds before erupting from the ground and soaring into the heavens.

Astonished gasps could be heard from those that were witnessing this for the first time.

"H-Help! Someone! Please! Help me! I will do anything!" The woman began screaming her lungs out as her body was still frozen in time. 

Unsurprisingly, nobody there even dared to take a step towards the graveyard at this moment.

A few seconds later, the swords hovering ominously in the air began to stir once more, their gleaming blades shifting in unison with an eerie grace, until they finally came to a stop with their sharp tips pointed at the terrified woman.

Despite the horrifying scene, nobody there could tear their gaze away from the scene, almost as though they were all trapped in a powerful charm. In the end, they all watched as the swords descended upon the woman and the man, covering their figures.

In that fleeting, heart-stopping moment, the very air itself seemed to come to a halt, suffocated by an all-encompassing dread that left a single soul present able to draw even the slightest breath.

And then, as suddenly as it had begun, the nightmare ended with the swords returning to their resting place, the graveyard once again peaceful.

As for the couple, not a trace remained, as if they never existed in the first place.
