Ch 316: The Famous Sword, Cold Sparrow
Famous Sword Villa.
Sword Forest.
As time passed, Li Hanzhou had long since left everyone else behind, walking in the forefront.
Li Hanzhou guessed one riddle after another; even Nangong Ao didn’t expect Li Hanzhou to get this far.
A few days passed, and Li Hanzhou had practically read through all the sword techniques.
For him, it was a great benefit.
Even the Sword Immortals of the Tianxuan Realm might not have seen so many sword moves. Some of these sword moves were simple, others profound. If it were someone else, they might not be interested in the simple sword moves and focus on the extremely profound sword techniques. However, Li Hanzhou had reached the Immortal Realm and understood the principle of The Great Dao is Simple.
Ordinary sword moves gave Li Hanzhou a direct impact.
The others, seeing Li Hanzhou moving farther and farther away, had lost their desire to compete.
Lin Di and Wu Sisi could only focus on the matters before them.
As Li Hanzhou walked farther and farther, he discovered that it became increasingly desolate. The swords on the ground became fewer and fewer, until he had to walk more than ten miles to see a single sword.
Moreover, the later sword moves became increasingly complex.
The profoundness of the later sword moves was such that if Li Hanzhou had come here at the beginning, he might not have understood them, or it would have taken him a long time to cultivate a Sword Intent.
But with thousands of sword moves as a foundation, Li Hanzhou felt more than capable of facing increasingly profound sword moves.
This was entirely because Li Hanzhou’s foundation was extremely solid.
At this moment, more and more Sword Intent surrounded Li Hanzhou, circling around him like countless rainbows floating, appearing exceptionally mysterious.
Li Hanzhou walked in the Sword Forest for another ten miles before he saw a solitary Sword Tablet on a cliff face.
The Sword Tablet was tall, and as he approached, a faint Chill could be felt.
“Just the Sword Tablet has such a Chill. It seems to be a truly good sword.”
Without a word, Li Hanzhou directly plunged his Divine Soul into the Sword Tablet.
A world of ice appeared before his eyes. A biting cold wind blew, and Li Hanzhou, feeling the wind on his face and watching the snow falling all around, saw a young girl sitting in meditation on the ice. The young girl, seeing Li Hanzhou, asked without hesitation, “Answer me one question, and you can see my sword.”
“Senior, please ask.”
Although she looked like a young girl, Li Hanzhou knew that this sword had existed for countless years, likely older than his great-grandfather’s generation.
The young girl did not mind Li Hanzhou’s address, and said, “My question is different from what I ask others. My question was once asked of my Master by an Expert, and my Master could not answer it, so it may be rather difficult. Be prepared.”
“Senior, please ask.”
Having heard that the question was difficult, Li Hanzhou braced himself.
“Listen carefully,” the young girl murmured for a moment before saying, “Two people fall into a trap set by a Hunter. The dead person is called Dead Person. What is the living person called?”
Li Hanzhou: “…”
Can you guys be serious?
Is this the difficult question you promised?
Is this Famous Sword Villa or a riddle class?
Did the person who came up with this question travel here from Earth?
Asking such a childish question.
Looking at the young girl’s expectant gaze, Li Hanzhou felt that the question was somewhat embarrassing, a bit too juvenile.
“Help!”
Li Hanzhou still gave the answer.
As soon as the answer came out, the young girl’s eyes widened in shock. She did not expect that Li Hanzhou would give the answer without thinking.
Over the years, many people had come to her, wanting to take her away, but they could not answer this question.
Some said “Living Person.”
Some said “Survivor.”
Some said “Living Dead Person.”
None of them were correct. There was even one called Xiao Tiansheng who suffered Qi Deviation while pondering this question and vomited blood, ultimately leaving in resentment.
Yet this young person actually answered it.
“You win.”
The young girl could only admit that Li Hanzhou had won.
“Then look carefully.”
The young girl lightly tapped her toes on the icy cliff, her silver hair falling down her waist like frozen moonlight.
The frost patterns engraved on the black iron sword at her wrist suddenly lit up, and the entire Ice Field fell into an eerie silence!
The howling Gale Force condensed into transparent icicles suspended in mid-air, and the drifting snow flurries froze into countless tiny Stars.
“How much you can comprehend depends on your Comprehension. If you can comprehend the Sword Intent, I will go with you. But if you do not have that Talent, even if you answer my question, I will not go with you.”
The moment the Sword Edge was raised, the frozen time shattered.
The icicles formed from the Gale Force flowed with the Sword Momentum, weaving a circular sword curtain around her, each prism refracting a rainbow-like light, as if a goddess were wielding the power of the Sky Dome.
Li Hanzhou’s pupils reflected the afterimage of the young girl seeming to tread on the clouds. She had only swung her sword once, yet nine ice-blue traces bloomed simultaneously on the snow, like a giant lotus blooming and withering in an instant.
The Sword Momentum suddenly turned fierce. The young girl spun, raising a flurry of Ice Crystals, her long sword trailing a comet-like cold glow as she struck towards the clouds. In an instant, the clouds for thousands of miles froze into a glass-like dome!
Sunlight pierced through the sharply angled ice clouds, projecting flowing Rune Sword Art onto the snow. The slight tremor of her sword tip triggered a continuous ice burst, and the entire frozen cloud transformed into thirty-six thousand Ice Swords hanging in the sky!
Where the Sword Edge pointed, mountains roared, and the snow accumulated for a thousand years turned into a roaring ice dragon soaring towards the heavens.
“Extreme cold is not about freezing all things,” the young girl said as she sheathed her sword, the ice dragon collapsing. The scattered Ice Crystals did not fall.
Instead, they condensed into a flowing Star River circling Li Hanzhou.
“It’s about making the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy willingly freeze for you.” She touched Li Hanzhou’s forehead with her finger, and the Ice Crystal Star River suddenly poured into his body. Li Hanzhou’s eyes showed an Illusion of the young girl wielding her sword to cut through the river of time.
It was a Sword Intent more desolate than the deepest winter, an extreme cold that could even freeze time.
“How much you comprehend depends on your fate.”
The young girl put away her sword and slowly disappeared from Li Hanzhou’s sight.
But on the ground before Li Hanzhou now stood a bright blue sword.
The hilt of the long sword was adorned with a blue Cold Sparrow, beautiful as a Gem, radiating a chilling Chill, as if the next moment, its Sword Qi could freeze the heavens.
“Cold Sparrow Sword.”
Li Hanzhou looked at the sword, the sword he had come for.
Li Hanzhou also fell into enlightenment.
The sword spirit’s sword moves replayed again and again in Li Hanzhou’s mind.
As for Li Hanzhou sitting before the Sword Tablet, at some point, a layer of Frost had condensed on his body.
