The storm of sword lights continued for a full ten minutes, and after the last sword light shattered, the entire world seemed to have suddenly quieted down.
The dazzling shattered auras lit up the Ocean of Peace, the deadly beauty had become extremely calm. Unknowingly, everyone had held onto their breaths, afraid that they would break the silence.
Only Qiu Tian Qing’s pupils were constricted, he had sensed danger.
The aura had changed slightly, it was obviously peaceful and calm, however, for some reason, Qiu Tian Qing’s sense towards danger had not lessen, but instead increased. Qiu Tian Qing knew that something was wrong. He looked around carefully, but did not notice anything out of the ordinary, the Ocean of Peace waves were calm, the surface of the water was bright and clean, resembling a black mirror.
The unease in Qiu Tian Qing’s heart became even more intense.
Inside the trading ship, Ah Xin wiped away the tears from his eyes, he stood up, as though nothing had happened.
Regardless if it is being moved or hurt, regardless if it is a longing or a hope, these feelings are for oneself, not for others, and not for others to know, everything that one feels, should always be for oneself, for the true longing in one’s heart.
Aside from Qian Hui and Xiao Man, no one knew that inside the trading ship in the distance, there was an old young man that had lost his voice while crying bitterly. Even if they knew, they might not be able to understand, ten thousand years was simply too long, too long that one could witness the transformations of the world, too long that things might have remained the same, yet the people had changed, so long that promises could be destroyed.
~Who would be so idle? One would already have his hands full with one life, how could they tolerate so many years.~
An old monster that had experienced ten thousand years, with the grief and emotions that went on and on, if Bing and Screw were to know about it, who knew if they could accept it.
Upon thinking about how his devastated appearance had been witnessed by the busty lady with the blade, Ah Xin felt sad. ~It’s over, it’s over, I will be ridiculed by her, I wonder when will I be able to gain back my image.~
~How can the busty lady ever understand such delicate emotions~, he mourned in his heart. ~Sigh, how will I ever show my face in front of her from now on? Such a headache.~
All of these thoughts went through his mind, but
his heart calmed down.
He suddenly bowed respectfully to Qian Hui: "This subordinate requests to go to battle!"
The obsession of his former comrades were present in front of him, all of them had wasted the precious Ocean of Peace, causing him to have the urge to beat them up.
Qian Hui did not say anything, but looked straight at Ah Xin earnestly.
Ah Xin had a bright smile that resembled the sun, with a slightly frivolous and anticipated look, without a trace of sorrow.
Although the Ah Xin in front of her looked not much different from how he was ordinarily, Qian Hui could feel that he was serious and longing to go to battle. Ah Xin and Xiao Man were Qian Hui’s right hand and left hands, and she understood them very well. Xiao Man loved to fight, but Ah Xin did not have any passion or excitement towards battle, if he did not have to fight, he would not fight. If he could spend 10 minutes to resolve a battle, he would never spend 20.
It was the first time he had initiated to go to battle.
After thinking about how Ah Xin had cried and wailed previously, Qian Hui did not hesitate: "Alright!"
"Thank you, young miss!" Ah Xin bowed respectfully to Qian Hui.
When they had first met, he was defeated and held hostage by Qian Hui, before choosing to join her as a subordinate, but willingness was out of the question. Qian Hui’s standard in controlling a battle earned his respect, but it was not enough for him to surrender his loyalty, it was just that he did not want to disappear from the world.
~I have already lived for so long, before finding the answer, dying is not worth it.~
That led to a common occurence where he would do his job, but would not put effort, and compared to Xiao Man, he was not qualified at all. But what surprised him was that Qian Hui was never unhappy with him because of it.
Qian Hui was firm and independent, she had her own view point, and practically ignored his irresponsibility.
Xiao Man frequently found trouble with him was most probably because of that. The difference between them was that Xiao Man was loyal to Qian Hui.
When he thought about that, he felt embarrassed. He never thought that when he requested to go to battle, Qian Hui would actually agree instantly. Ah Xin understood that regardless of what reason it was, the understanding itself was something rare to see.
His gratitude to her was from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Man’s face turned cold, she snorted: "If you throw our
our face in front of our in-law, you can just slit your own throat."
Qian Hui, who stood there coldly like a Goddess of War right from the start, had her face flush red upon hearing what Xiao Man said, she glanced at Xiao Man, but did not say a word.
Ah Xin laughed out loud, upon thinking about showing off his noble aspirations, he was interrupted by Xiao Man: "If you want to go, then go, stop dawdling!"
Ah Xin’s laugh was cut shot, he then cleared his throat.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar exploded out from the distance: "To actually dare go against the rules of the Holy Bell in Saint Continent, and to attack the Prestigious Qiu Family. Still trying to act sneakily, why are you not surrendering yourselves!"
An army that looked like fiery clouds flew over.
The generals and soldiers of the army were donned in furious red capes, all of their expressions were cold and indifferent, and anyone could tell from one look that they were warriors that had gone through hundreds of battles. The military general in the lead had a robust and domineering body, with a squarish face and thick eyebrows, the most prominent part about him was his fiery red hair.
Red light flashed in the sky, as though meteors were soaring down from space.
Bang!
The sky about 300m away from Tang Tian suddenly exploded, with fiery serpents dancing all around. When the fiery light dissipated, the army appeared, revealing their true faces.
"General Qiu!" The robust man in the lead bowed at Qiu Tian Qing.
Qiu Tian Qing bowed slightly: "I never thought that such a small matter would actually call for General Huo. But this battle is a personal grievance related to my Qiu Family, I hope that General will not intervene."
General Huo spoke uprightly: "The Holy Bell has rung, and we are in a dire situation where everyone has a great undertaking, the Qiu Family is a huge pillar to our Honorable Martial Continent, how can we let such small fries delay you here?"
Qiu Tian QIng hesitated for a moment, he understood what the other party was saying. The other party had made his intentions clear, at such a crucial moment, no one should be causing other issues, and if there were any struggles, they should be dealt with quickly.
Qiu Tian Qing knew that their conspiracy was extremely huge, furthermore.....
He glanced at Tang Tian, and a sneer appeared on his face, he nodded his head: "General, be careful, they are not the Honorable Martial Banner of Knights."
Right from the start, he suspected that they were the Banner of Knights. Both parties had resentment
had resentment towards each other, Sophie had been abundantly clear when she raised her blade at the Qiu Family, which also led to his mistake.
But upon crossing hands, he understood that the other party were not the Banner of Knights.
Holy Flame, he did not sense any traces of the Holy Flame, if the opponents were the Banner of Knights, it was impossible. Holy Flame was the source of power for any Knight, and in such an intense battle, it was impossible to disguise it.
Tang Tian was startled, he never expected that Qiu Tian Qing would realize that they were not the Banner of Knights. It meant that their plan to disguise as the Banner of Knights to stir trouble had gone to dust.
General Huo stared coldly at him, and spoke indifferently: "To dare pass yourselves off as the Banner of Knights, your guilt has just increased! Today, even Temple can’t save you!"
Right at that moment, a chuckle sounded out from the hostile battlefield, which could be heard from anywhere.
"Who said that we were pretending to be the Banner of Knights?"
A spirit general had unknowingly appeared near Tang Tian.
Ah Xin took his time, leisurely walking in mid air, with a heck care attitude: "We are the Iron Mask Army of the Mace Field Family. The Qiu Family and our Mace Field Family has grievances, that I do not need to say. Or could it be that your distinguished self wants to intervene?
Qiu Tian Qing and General Huo were both startled.
~Mace Field Family?~
They had thought of all sorts of possibilities, but they never thought that it would be the Mace Field Family. A low level Prestigious Family had ran to a top rated Prestigious Family to say that they have grievances.
That completely toppled their common sense, it was too absurd.
~Since when have the small prestigious families dare to go against a top rate Prestigious Family?~
~And, since when, has a low level small Prestigious Family actually have such a powerful army?~
On the trading ship, Xiao Man was furious: "Isn’t he very clever usually? Why did he reveal our identities?"
Qian Hui’s eyes sparkled, she chuckled: "I feel that he handled it rather well. Since we can’t pass off as the Banner of Knights, then the name of Mace Field Family is the next most suitable. Ah Xin’s mind is truly working very quickly."
XIao Man’s eyes flashed with a look of joy, but she snorted: "Lucky guy."
Qian Hui took a glance at Xiao Man and giggled, but did not say a word.
Xiao Man instantly felt uncomfortable, and whined: "Young Miss, what is that expression
is that expression of yours?"
Qian Hui blinked her eyes: "Take a guess."
Xiao Man frowned.
In the air, General Huo did not believe Ah Xin’s words, he sneered: "Truly, if one doesn’t see his own coffin, he will not shed tears, you’re still not willing to give up at such a time and want to make things even more complicated, you’re seeking death!"
Ah Xin was not afraid at all, he bowed at Tang Tian: "In-law, I wonder if you can hand that sword and this battle over to this subordinate?"
Tang Tian thought about Ah Xin and Bing’s relationship, and thought about their identities as people from the Southern Cross Army, and realized something. ~That’s right, this sword contains the auras of Ah Xin’s comrades.~
Without saying a word, he threw the Undying Sword over to Ah Xin: "It’s yours from now on."
Ah Xin trembled, he caught the Undying Sword clumsily. Even if Tang Tian had used it for a short moment, everyone could tell that the sword was not ordinary. Tang Tian actually gave the sword to him....
Ah Xin looked at Tang Tian, although he could not see Tang Tian’s expression which was hidden behind the mask, but his eyes were as clear as water.
Tang Tian truly did not have any hesitation when he gave the sword, it was an instinctive move.
Tang Tian’s emotions towards the Undying Sword was mostly shock towards their obsession. He was respectful and felt honored and excited to be able to fight with the seniors, but he knew that the legend was theirs, the conviction was theirs, the emotions belonged to them, to the Southern Cross Army.
~I want to create my own legend, I want to write my own convictions~. Right from the start, that was how Tang Tian was. Even though he had inherited many things from the Southern Cross Army, but he had never felt that he was living to revive the Southern Cross Army.
His legacies were Ursa Major Constellation, Three Spirits City, Southern Alliance, and the Godlike Young Man!
His companions were Bing, Crane, Little Xu Xu, Big Brother Jing Hao, Sai Lei, Pi Pa, Bell.....
~I am not alone at all, and I don’t have to be envious of others!~
The emotions invoked by the sword did not belong to him, but to Ah Xin, that was why Tang Tian felt that it was right to hand the sword over to Ah Xin, and the Undying Sword would be happy as well.
Ah Xin bowed respectfully to Tang Tian, and spoke: "I request in-law to support my rear."
With that said, he held onto Undying Sword and stepped onto the Ocean of Peace.
