System Journey to Godhood - Chapter 125

While the elders outside were trying their best to forcefully break the barrier, Xian Bu Yu was ready to unleash his ultimate attack.

“Kekeke… Nobody can save you today! Take this and die!”

Whoosh, whoosh—

A powerful sword qi that was gathering on the tip of Xian Bu Yu’s sword shot straight at Snowy at the speed of light, leaving no chance for her to dodge.

Everybody present shuddered as they sensed its terrifying might.

The strength of this move vastly exceeded his earlier casual attack—the one he did to send Elder Nong flying, by nearly five times.

It was impossible for Snowy to keep her life after being hit by this powerful technique.

At least, that’s what they assumed.

“Snowy, watch out!”

Meng Qi, Qi Ying’er, and Qi Ning’er, who had failed to even leave a scratch at the barrier even with their strongest attack, screamed as the sword qi was about to shred Snowy to pieces.

They never felt so pathetic that they could do anything but watch helplessly when their new friend was about to lose her life.

“Damn it. At a time like this, the barrier is so hard to break. Come on… break for me!”

Elder Lan gritted her teeth and, in order to break the barrier, hammered it with her strongest techniques, one after another, incessantly. She wasn’t even aware that her spiritual Qi was depleting at an alarming rate.

‘Please hang on, Snowy! I don’t know how to explain to little Xue if something happens to you!’ the only thing on her mind was to quickly break the barrier and rescue Snowy.

Unfortunately, time wasn’t on their side as the burst of qi, which was shining brilliantly, was ready to strike Snowy down.

“No!”

As some of the crowds were holding their breath and covering their eyes, afraid to see the tragedy that was soon to unfold, the anticipated impact unexpectedly never came.

Crash—

Before it could touch Snowy, the blow had already been shattered by the assault of 3,000 swords that were suddenly manifesting behind Snowy’s back. She stood there immovable, not even a small step, and watched the event unfold indifferently as if she had nothing to do about it. With a myriad of swords hovering around her, she looks like the legendary sword immortal.

“It’s futile. Your attack will never reach me.” Snowy stated this matter-of-factly.

“Impossible… Impossible…” Xian Bu Yu stared at Snowy with incredulity, indignation, and unresigned fury, “What evil technique did you use before?! You’re just a measly Qi Transformation cultivator. How could you still be alive after receiving my attack! I refuse to believe it!”

“If you’re truly a sword cultivator, you should already have the answer in your heart. It’s just that you’re too arrogant to face the truth.”

Under her manifestation of sword intent, as long as the opponent used a sword technique, whether it was infused with sword intent or not, even an attack by a peak Nascent Soul expert couldn’t easily take her life. More so, an ordinary sword technique executed without a sword intent.

“This… what on earth is going on, here?”

“Is this the strength of the youngest Sword Grandmaster? It’s so damn mighty!”

“Sister Snowy is so strong…”

“Yes, she looks handsome too…”

“Ahh, this is bad… I’m fallin’ and I can’t stop it… ”

“Sister Snowy, I’m willing to send all my family’s heirlooms as a dowry. Please be my wife..!”

“Tch, she’s obviously a girl. Only a handsome man like me can make her happy!”

“What is good about a smelly man like you! Even if you saved the world in your nine reincarnations, you couldn’t reach Sister Snowy’s handsomeness!”

The atmosphere amidst the gallery outside the arena suddenly turned 180 degrees after witnessing Snowy’s incredible prowess. Their impression of Snowy shot through to the roof.

Even the elders, who were still trying to break through the barrier, paused for a moment and looked at her respectfully. They didn’t think that they could do better than Snowy if they were in Snowy’s shoes.

Elder Lan also felt a little bit relieved, and while keeping her eyes on Snowy, she was complaining to herself, ‘This kid is something else, I really worried for nothing. Hmph, let’s see what I can get out of you for making me so nervous.’

As she looked back at the barrier, she couldn’t help but curse the Third Elder inwardly, as the barrier was really formidable.

Although she didn’t believe that Oldman had a hand in tampering with the barrier formation, she still felt very annoyed. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t break it from outside—

‘I’m such a dummy! Even if we can’t enter it from outside, there is still a possibility for the one inside the barrier to escape from inside. ‘

Elder Lan didn’t waste any more time and immediately gave instruction to Snowy, “Snowy, get out of the arena! The barrier shouldn’t block you from exiting!”

“Want to escape? Don’t think about it! Phantom Clone!” As he performed the mudra for her technique, instantly three silhouettes similar to his figure appeared out of thin air. “Go surround her, don’t let her escape!”

In the blink of an eye, Snowy’s path of escape had already been sealed by Xian Bu Yu and his three clones. However, looking at Snowy’s expression, she didn’t seem panicked or anxious about it; instead, it seemed that she didn’t have the intention of retreating in the first place.

“Bastard! That hateful Xian guy is really shameless. I really want to punch him in the face!” Qi Ying’er stomped her foot in anger and 99 kinds of animal names spat out from her mouth.

“Don’t worry, Snowy is way stronger than she looks like; nothing bad will happen to her.”

“Yes, She is very powerful. That Xian Bu Yu is really unlucky to mess with her. ”

“… I still want to punch his face!”

Meng Qi and Qi Ning’er stopped paying attention to the still fuming Qi Ying’er and once again concentrated on the battle that took place on the stage solemnly.

In the arena, Xian Bu Yu and his clones assaulted Snowy with every technique he had learned before, but no matter what kind of techniques they deployed, Snowy was always able to counter them with ease.

Xian Bu Yu’s countenance, which already looked terrifying, contorted even further every time he faced failure.

“Why are you not fighting back?! Do you look down on me!”

“I don’t need to. You should sense it right? Even if I’m doing nothing, you’re still going to die. ”

Of course, he was aware, albeit late, that his life force was burnt at an accelerated speed. He realized that he had been set up by his own uncle, not as a family member, not even a human being, but as a chess piece. He was the necessary sacrifice for whatever plan his uncle had after he died. No more than that.

Did he resent his uncle for his ruthlessness? Of course, he resented him very much, but not as much as he envied and hated Snowy. If she didn’t exist, he wouldn’t need to die!

“Why! Why do you exist? Why did God bless a woman like you with such a great talent?! You’re just a woman… It should be me… Aargh!”

After his outburst, Xian Bu Yu’s power went out of control and his killing intent soared into the sky. His aura was akin to the embodiment of murder and malice.

“I’ll drag you down to hell with me! Sword of Seven Kill!”

Xian Bu Yu and his clones launched their attack simultaneously, leaving no room for Snowy to escape. They performed the sword techniques beyond flawlessly. There was no doubt that his comprehension of the Sword of Seven Kill had reached perfection.

“Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill!”

His overwhelming killing intent resonated with the sword intent fused in Sword of Seven Killing and a visual of seven silhouettes that exuded endless killing intent as if they couldn’t wait to reap the lives of every sentient being in the world emerged, charging at Snowy menacingly.

“He is truly a once in a thousand-year genius. But what a pity…”

Elder Lan watched as Xian Bu Yu executed his technique. She sighed heavily afterward. Although he took the wrong path and suffered the consequences of it, he was still one of the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect and, with his ability, should have had a bright future in the sect or even be a pillar of the sect in the future.

Sadly, it was too late for him.

In the last moments, before his life was going to end, Xian Bu Yu was able to comprehend Sword Dao that far outshined any genius sword cultivator in the history of the Eastern Region.

He had successfully pushed his comprehension of Sword of Seven Kill to reach the will manifestation state even though he wasn’t a grandmaster yet.

The Sword of Seven Kill was the secret technique of the Xian Family that was personally bestowed by the founder of the Heaven Sword Sect and could only be used by the Xian Family.

So, there was no stone tablet of the technique that could be found in the Sword Pavilion. And so, Snowy didn’t learn the Sword of the Seven Kills.

However, she wasn’t afraid of it at all.

Just like in the second round, she only needed to assimilate the sword intent with her own.

Snowy might feel a little bit grateful to Xian Bu Yu for the free meal.

And as expected, Snowy successfully put an end to Xian Bu Yu’s attack.

Xian Bu Yu had already limped down and fallen to the ground. There was no resentment in his expression; it was replaced by contentment.

“You should be proud that before you die you managed to carve your name in the Eastern Region’s history.”

“Is that so? I’m a genius after all…”

“Yes. It indeed so…”

Snowy stared curiously at Xian Bu Yu, whose body was shrinking due to the constant loss of life force. His appearance had already turned back to the previous scholar-like gentleman, albeit the paleness of his skin. The corner of his lips curved upward, forming a faint smile.

“Do you feel regret?”

“Regret? I’ve got no regrets in this world…”

With those words, the curtains come to a close.

Or it should be before a thunderous voice filled with enormous pressure descended on the examination ground, making anyone who listened to the voice trembled with shock and fear.

“Who is so audacious, dare to murder another fellow disciple in the Heaven Sword Sect!”

“You’re courting death!”

Snowy, like other people, also had her body tremble, but for a different reason. She trembled because she felt a little bit excited.

It’s coming!

The famous “beating the junior, come the senior. Beating the senior, come the ancestor” scenario that often appeared on her previous host record had appeared!
