Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 39: Qiankun Golden Sword and Ancient Text of "Wei"

Three blobs of Offensive Metal mixed together into one as it took the form of a golden blade. The 22 inches long body is perfectly aligned with the Eight Transformation Treasured Brush as the hilt.

Two columns of ancient texts are engraved on the body of Sword of Heaven and Earth. The words are considered primordial as it was no longer decipherable by the scholars of this era.

(Wei)=====(Qian)

-

(Lan)=====(Kun)

-

(Zi)=====(Jin)

-

(Yong)=====(Jian)

[From top to bottom. Wei-Lan-Zi-Yong means "For Lan's Personal Use." Also, the same, Qian-Kun-Jin-Jian means "Heaven and Earth Golden Sword"]

The 22 inches blade with an 8 inches brush as a hilt weapon comes with a close to 4 inches width. Every single one of the ancient text holds a mysterious power on its own.

Qin Lan stops for a while and appreciates the Heaven and Earth Golden Sword in his hand. As the mysterious force from the eight ancient texts were too powerful, cracks started to appear on the edge of the blade.

(Looks like three Offensive Metal is merely enough for me to harness a hint of mastery from the ancient text of "Wei")

The light on the word "Wei" flashed dimly, like a spark of ember that's going to disappear soon.

"Come here, Violet Legged Broodmother!" Qin Lan pointed his golden sword at the fourth-level Yao Beast with his three disciples as witnesses. Not a single of them would dare to repeat what Qin Lan just did, especially looking at how extensive is the gap in strength between the third and fourth-level.

**Screech!**

The Violet Legged Broodmother swung its two frontmost limbs to create two blades formed with Spiritual Energy towards Qin Lan. Those unfortunate younglings on the run were treated as tributes to display the strength of this blow as it gets closer to Qin Lan's position.

"What a blow to start our fight! How can I not respond with equal respect?" Qin Lan chuckled.

"Take this! Mountain Splitting Strike!" Qin Lan swung the golden blade down confidently using the martial art from the Three Sword Strikes of Zhenwu Gate. His move delivered an attack of Spiritual Energy over to negate the Violet Legged Broodmother's attack.

"Bam! - Bam!" the ground ended up as the victim between the explosive Spiritual Energy. Both of them vanished from their initial position to follow up with their next move.

"What are you guys looking at? Take care of yourself!" Qin Lan's voice echoed inside Lu Yi, Lu Qing Yun, and Huo Zunjie's ears. And in that instant, three other battles happened in this nest.

Lu Qing Yun's cultivation was the lowest amongst the three. But at the same time, her Defensive Treasure was also the best amongst them.

With Heaven's String on her, Lu Qing Yun's movement was not losing against the Quasi fourth-level Yao Beast with a terrain advantage. Furthermore, the Rippling Wave Palm taught by Qin Lan could support her Protective Treasure, which elevates her ability by another fold.

"Clear Cloud Lotus Art!"

"Eighteen Petals of Clear Cloud Lotus!" Lu Qing Yun's movement is akin to dancing as she forms four petal-like shields through her Spiritual Energy. Although the cultivation art itself was named eighteen petals, she's only capable of creating four at this moment due to the restriction in cultivation strength.

But four petals are equal to having four added lives if they were used efficiently.

As for Lu Yi, his fight against the Quasi fourth-level Yao Beast is much more than exciting. The Heaven Firmament Art taught by Qin Lan gives him confidence as he fights in a fist to claw battle.

The Mistral Projection Fist Art also compliment his Flame Eyes of Heaven, intimidating and locking his opponent from executing a tricky attack.

"Take this!" Lu Yi's fist went through one of the limbs once he found an opportunity to deliver the deadly blow.

"Take a pill when your opponent is still traumatized from your previous blow." Qin Lan's voice came into his ears as Lu Yi gathered the Spiritual Energy surrounding them for his next attack.

"Noted!" Lu Yi answered.

**Screech!**

The Violet Legged Broodmother extends its claw over at Qin Lan. But it underestimated the sharpness of Qin Lan's Qiankun Golden Sword. The sword with three cracked lines on the body smoothly cut apart a section of the limb with a swing.

"Come, block this!" Qin Lan sent another swing as he shifted his position with one of his mirages from the Mistral Mirage Steps. The cracked lines on the Qiankun Golden Sword now increased to five, covering almost half of the sword.

**Shua!**

Qin Lan's attack created a bleeding wound spreading from the second pair of limbs to the fourth. Added with another kick onto the thorax, Qin Lan builds up the distance between them as he retreated.

But the Violet Legged Broodmother is unwilling to yield.

Spider Threads is sprayed from its webspinner organ to creates trouble for Qin Lan as he tries to retreat.

"Tricky Yao Beast..." Qin Lan swung his blade for the sixth and seventh time, creating two more lines of cracks as he retreated.

"Go!" Qin Lan fired three of his hairpins at the Yao Beast to compensate for the slight out of tempo.

"Ting! - Ting! - Ting!" the three hairpins were deflected but still successfully disturbs the Violet Legged Broodmother from following up with the next attack.

"D*mn Yao Beast," Qin Lan immediately took the opportunity to swallow two bottles of Flesh Foundation Pill to replenish his Spiritual Energy.

With the "Spiritual Energy Container" physique, there was no delay in between as he can convert the pill into energy straightaway.

"Again!" Huo Zunjie valiantly charged into his opponent without noticing that Qin Lan is looking at them. Amongst the three of them, his strength can be said to be closest to Qin Lan.

His Undying Cultivation Physique could hugely enhance his cultivation speed at the cost of restarting them whenever he's inflicted an illness he's incapable of recovering from.

"Hmm... Looks like the time to take the Precelestial Realm Restructuring Pill is here for them." Qin Lan swung his blade randomly to bounce off two flying spears made from the spider thread. Another crack appeared on the body of his sword from his action.

Staring straight at the Violet Legged Broodmother, Qin Lan smirked. The Qiankun Golden Sword in his hand shines brighter once more after it was nourished by the Spiritual Energy within his body.

"Zunjie, be careful with the fourth pairs of claws of your opponent." Qin Lan whispered. It was immediately understood by Huo Zunjie as he looks at the claw coated with a violet-colored toxin.

Although Qin Lan is confident that he could resolve the poison, sometimes prevention would be a better option to choose from.

Qin Lan raises his left hand with a hairpin ready to fire. But the trajectory of the weapon was not the fourth-level Violet Legged Broodmother, but Lu Yi's.

He charged straight at his opponent to deliver a deadly blow.

The Qiankun Golden Sword flashed once more as Qin Lan appeared in the air behind the Violet Legged Broodmother. Borrowing the strength from gravity and his movement, Qin Lan delivered yet another deadly blow stretching from the waist to the end of its abdomen.

"Screech!!!" the pain caused the Violet Legged Broodmother to scream. Her scream is equal to summoning all existing spiders to her side to provide protection.

"Your children won't be able to protect you." Qin Lan said. With the blade held up above his head, Qin Lan executed the Mountain Splitting Strike once more at the swarm protecting the Violet Legged Broodmother.

With three of its most dependable children occupied with Qin Lan's three disciples, the younglings hardly withstand an attack from Qin Lan. Incomplete carcasses littered left and right of the Violet Legged Broodmother after that attack.

But it did not diminish their attempt to protect their "mother." A sphere of flesh was created as the tenth crack appeared.

"Again!" Qin Lan delivered another Mountain Splitting Strike at the Violet Legged Broodmother and robbed close to a hundred of its children's lives.

**Screech! - Screech!**

The Violet Legged Broodmother pointed its abdomen towards Qin Lan to fire some spider threads, but nothing comes out.

"Let's end this!" Qin Lan made a different move on his twelve' blow. A drop of his blood fell onto the ancient text of (Wei) to activates the hidden mystery behind it.

Soon, the veins inside the body of Qiankun Golden Sword flashed brilliantly as the precise word of "Wei" appeared on it.

"To Act as Heaven and Earth!" two kinds of Spiritual Energy explodes at where the Violet Legged Broodmother stands. One descends from heaven, another rouse from the earth. Two convergence of energy forms the Law of Flow as it created harmony and destruction.

His final blow was worthy of the last two strokes of the word "Wei" inside the ancient text. Upon his descent, Qin Lan's sword finally incapable of withstanding the pressure and crumbles into ashes.

"It seems more than three Offensive Metal is needed if I wanted to utilize the Eight Transformation Treasured Brush properly." Qin Lan chuckled as he kept the brush back into his sleeve.

With both hands now free, Qin Lan made an extensive action from where he stands as Lu Qing Yun and Lu Yi's target were turned into a porcupine made from hairpins.

And the final hairpin in his hand went to Huo Zunjie's target.
