Chapter 109 - If You Want a War, That's What I'll Give You!

The Sea of Swords was shaken to its core!

"Word has it that the Young Sword Lord of Sword Heaven slew five Great Elders of the Forbidden Tower, wiping out the entire Duanmu Family!"

"Not a soul has ever dared to lay a hand on even one Great Elder since the Forbidden Tower claimed dominance!"

"What's coming next?"

"I've received intel. The entire Forbidden Tower is incensed. Their entire sword force has rallied and is on its way to Sword Heaven!"

"An internal war is brewing in the Sea of Swords!"

Within moments, swarms of Sword Cultivators from various powers and noble families set out for Sword Heaven. To watch the spectacle! To witness history! And perhaps to pick up a straggler or two.

The news swept over the floating sword city like a tempest, setting the city ablaze with anticipation.

Outside Sword Heaven, tens of thousands of Sword Cultivators poured out, forming a defensive line. Some were solemn; others had eyes filled with confusion.

HUM! Suddenly, a thousand sharp swords tore through the dark clouds, falling like meteors and landing right before Sword Heaven!

A tremendous killing intent swept towards them!

Emerging from this onslaught were a thousand figures in black and red robes from the Forbidden Tower, eyes cold with murderous rage.

The Forbidden Tower, due to its practice of inducting only the most talented Sword Cultivators, naturally developed an arrogant and domineering demeanor. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

In territories under the Forbidden Tower's control, they were the law, operating without restraint. How could they tolerate someone killing five of their Sovereign Dragon Realm Great Elders, decimating their foundation?

HUM! As they landed, the ground quaked. The vast army of Sword Heaven's Cultivators instinctively took a step back.

A chilling, furious, and overwhelming atmosphere enveloped the scene.

The intimidating gaze of the thousand Forbidden Tower Sword Cultivators heavily pressed down on the tens of thousands from Sword Heaven.

At the forefront stood the Tower Lord of the Forbidden Tower and the remaining five Sovereign Dragon Realm Great Elders.

The Tower Lord of the Forbidden Tower, draped in black robes and shrouded in a dark mist, radiated a terrifying presence.

"Tower Lord, shall we obliterate Sword Heaven, or shall we demand they hand over Yun Xiao?" A delicate woman in black robes coldly inquired.

She was known as Xiao Qiang, a Great Elder from a different branch of the Xiao Family. Moreover, she was the sister of Xiao Yuan. Their family boasted two elders, making their influence in the Sea of Swords significant.

"Patience," the Tower Lord responded coolly.

In that moment, from the crowd of Sword Heaven, Sword Lord Lin Qingfeng and Madame Xiao stepped forward, their expressions solemn. "Tower Lord Xiao," Lin Qingfeng addressed, "Might we step aside for a word?"

"Step aside?" Xiao Qiang scoffed with a laugh.

"Granted," the Tower Lord surprisingly agreed on the spot.

Xiao Qiang paused, her eyes flicking with a hint of irritation, but before she could utter another word, the Tower Lord turned to the irate members of the Forbidden Tower. "Everyone, calm down! The Sword Lord and I will have a private chat. Regardless of the outcome, you will have a resolution today."

With the Tower Lord's assurance, the enraged crowd reluctantly restrained themselves.

"Please, Tower Lord," Lin Qingfeng motioned.

Together, Lin Qingfeng and Madame Xiao escorted the Tower Lord to the Jade Sun Tower. Outside, the thousands from the Forbidden Tower and Sword Heaven stood face-to-face, a tension filling the air.

"You audacious brat!"

Such a brazen provocation!

The thousand-strong from the Forbidden Tower were already boiling with rage, forcibly suppressed by their Tower Lord. But now, as their leader negotiated, Yun Xiao had stomped on their pride and dignity, and ground it into the dirt.

"You're asking for death!" Xiao Qiang's eyes blazed red.

Who could remain sane seeing their sibling roasted like that?

"Kill him!!" With a horrifying shriek and a twisted face, she drew her Sword Soul and lunged at Yun Xiao. Behind her, countless Sword Cultivators from the Forbidden Tower, driven mad by anger, drew their blades.

"You come to Sword Heaven's doorstep and cry murder? Think we of Sword Heaven are pushovers?" Yun Xiao stood up, charging at Xiao Qiang with ferocity. "You want war? Sword Heaven will give you war!"

Their two forms collided with explosive force, a storm of energy erupting between the two factions.

A flash of cold light darted across Yun Xiao's eyes. Without a word, he summoned the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, which boasted two gleaming Sword Rings.

Sun Moon Divine Light, Rainbow Through the Sun!

Yun Xiao's Flying Sword burst forth, creating a tempest of water and fire. Like a brilliant comet piercing the night sky, it dashed towards Xiao Qiang in a mere blink.

"Five-thousand-year old Sword Rings!" Xiao Qiang's face paled. She swung her blade in desperation.

The tragic end of Duanmu Yao was relived in that fleeting moment as the Sword Cultivators clashed.

BOOM! Her Sword Soul shattered against the might of the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, which swiftly reached her neck, severing her head from her body.

Xiao Qiang met her end between the two warring factions.

HUM! Yun Xiao, with cold calculation, held Xiao Qiang's head in one hand and stepped on her corpse with his foot. Facing the thousand from the Forbidden Tower, he spat disdainfully. "The Forbidden Tower? The so-called fearless? You're just a pack of dogs, begging on your knees after I kill you! I've taken out another of your Great Elders. Dare to challenge me now?" With that, Yun Xiao laughed coldly.

BOOM! The Sword Cultivators of the Forbidden Tower erupted in fury.

What happened to peace talks with the Tower Lord?

When someone boldly slapped them across the face, all talk was forgotten.

"Kill him!"

"Destroy Sword Heaven!"

The crazed will of a mob is like a potent poison, consuming reason in the blink of an eye. When everyone around you drew their sword, not a soul could resist joining the frenzy.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH! A shimmering downpour of over a thousand Flying Swords pierced the night, like a rainstorm of steel, hurtling towards Yun Xiao alone.

"A thousand against one? You think Sword Heaven is undefended?"

With a ferocious roar, Yun Xiao suddenly turned, charging straight into the thick of the Sword Heaven crowd.

"Strike!"

The barrage of Flying Swords relentlessly pursued him. An arrow drawn had to be let loose!

"You Forbidden Tower folks push things too far!" Yun Xiao, swift as a ghostly shadow, darted into the dense throng in a flash.

THUD THUD THUD! In the ensuing chaos, the Forbidden Tower's swords couldn't be aimed true. With Yun Xiao's deft dodges, at least a hundred Sword Heaven's people were pierced and fell where they stood.

Blood flowed like rivers at the gates of Sword Heaven.

Things had taken a dire turn...
