The elder in yellow opened his mouth and let out a mighty roar that
shook the Divine Sword Mountain and caused more sword aura to seep out.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The five giant swords gave off a sword light that shone as bright as the sun.
"Time Strike!"
the five sword spirits shouted simultaneously.
The air rippled around the five swords and runes related to the swordsmanship spread in all directions.
Buzz!
The sky, ground, water, and rock all began trembling.
By this time, the power had reached the whole Divine Sword Mountain and a large area nearby,
freezing everything.
All living creatures within the area were rendered immobile.
Even the fourteen governing gods were frozen, including their energy, laws, and sword auras. What
was more, they couldn't even think.
The five swords began to move,
creating a slicing sound.
They were incredibly fast, leaving streaks of dark shadows behind them.
In the blink of an eye, they had cut the fourteen governing gods in half.
"Aaaaargh!"
Screams of distress filled the air.
Sword radiance spilled from the bodies of the governing gods along with their blood.
"It can't be!"
the fourteen governing gods screamed in horror.
Since they were governing gods, this wouldn't kill them.
The five sword spirits had no intention of taking their lives anyway.
After all, they were part of the Sword Cosmos.
If they had wanted them dead, the governing gods would have lost their lives.
A moment later, the fourteen governing gods had glued themselves back into one piece.
Their faces were pale and their eyes were wide with fright. They kept their distance this time.
The five sword spirits were waiting for them,
but they couldn't fight any longer.
Still, they were reluctant to leave like this.
"If you have the nerve to challenge us,
there will be serious consequences like this!"
the old man in yellow said indifferently.
"Whoa. I'm actually impressed by your stupidity.
Not many dare to provoke the Divine Sword Mountain.
Do you really think you are the rulers of the Sword Cosmos?
Let me tell you, as long as I'm still here, you will never truly rule the Sword Cosmos," Sword Son Curry
teased.
More than anyone else, he was glad to see them hurt.
After all, they were his enemies.
He was so filled with joy that he burst into laughter.
The fourteen governing gods glanced at each other.
They wanted to rush forward but eventually they stood their ground.
The strike that the five sword spirits had used on them was too terrifying.
It was the perfect combination of time and swordsmanship.
This combination was known
to be fatal to the governing gods.
'So that's how they stop creatures from stirring up trouble on the Divine Sword Mountain!'
They slowly took steps backwards,
afraid that the five sword spirits weren't finished with them yet.
"It looks like we will have to wait until Sword Son Curry leaves the Divine Sword Mountain,"
the leader of the Sky Sword Sect said gloomily.
"Yes, you are right."
Although the other governing gods were impatient, they agreed that it was safer to wait.
Sword Son Curry was protected as long as he was on the Divine Sword Mountain.
If they made their move now, they might lose their lives here.
"Retreat!"
one of the governing gods ordered.
Then, the fourteen governing gods turned.
In a moment,
they were nowhere to be seen.
The only creatures left on the top of the mountain were the five sword spirits and Sword Son Curry.
"It is finally quiet again,"
Sword Son Curry said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, sirs."
The five sword spirits nodded.
"We are just doing our jobs and maintaining the peace of the Divine Sword Mountain. It has nothing to
do with you.
No one is allowed to fight here.
If you try to start a fight, you will be treated the same.
It's our sacred responsibility to maintain the dignity and peace of the Divine Sword Mountain,"
the elder in yellow explained flatly.
"Well,
you are great at your jobs, sirs,"
Sword Son Curry said, laughing.
In fact, he understood what the five sword spirits were all about.
That was why he had dared to enter the Divine Sword Mountain without hiding his whereabouts.
He had drawn the governing gods to the Divine Sword Mountain on purpose.
Since Sword Son Curry had once ruled the Sword Cosmos, he knew everything about the Sword
Cosmos and the Divine Sword Mountain.
Before he had entered the Sword Cosmos, he had created a plan.
However, it didn't pan out. In his plan, the five sword spirits were supposed to kill those governing gods.
Now he had to think of another way out.
At this point,
Austin was still engaged in an intense fight with the sword cultivators on the single-plank bridge.
He was privy to nothing outside of his bubble of concentration.
His body was covered with
deep cuts that revealed his bones.
Fortunately, Austin had a strong body, and he couldn't feel much pain.
The injuries were all minor to him.
"Come on!"
Austin gathered all his strength and unleashed a powerful sword light to attack his opponents. The
longer he fought, the more excited he got. He was so close to the finish.
Slowly, the sword cultivators were pushed back and some were even killed by the sword lights.
Austin knew that these sword cultivators were not real creatures. They were actually formed by the
sword light, the sword aura, and the sword intent of the Divine Sword Mountain.
Therefore, his strikes were fatal.
He had never had to fight
so many sword cultivators on his own.
He didn't even have time to take a break.
"Go to hell!
I'm going to kill you all!" Austin shouted.
His fighting spirit was strong,
allowing him to forget the pain and fatigue.
Two days passed
and Austin suddenly pulled himself together.
"I'm almost there!" he murmured to himself.
He stared at the other end of the bridge.
There were still dozens of sword cultivators floating in the air in front of Austin. They pointed their
swords at him.
"Come on!"
As he was about to reach the other side of the abyss, Austin cheered up, rushed forward and pointed
his sword at them.
Clung! Clung! Clung!
The deafening sound of the collision of swords filled the air.
An hour later,
Austin set foot on the other side of the bridge.
"Yes! I've finally passed all the tests," he exclaimed.
The bottomless abyss behind him vanished into thin air.
The five sword spirits and Sword Son Curry appeared in Austin's sight again.
"Austin, you made it,"
Sword Son Curry said with a smile.
