《The Sword Dynasty》Book 2: Chapter 16: Sword Fire
Advertisement
Ding Ning indeed had extraordinary combat experience in order to dare assassinate Song Shenshu alone right after he had reached Energy Refinement Realm. However, when Feng Qinghan’s gaze became slightly odd before the purple gold seal appeared in his hand, he had already detected danger.
Without a hint of hesitation, his body jumped back again. His remnant sword once again drew out seal lines in front of him. His drawing speed was even faster compared to before, his energies spewed rapidly out of his body. As the energies rushed, his fingernails started to bleed.
Two sword seals formed, almost in unison, on his sides.
Boom!
Unlike the sword seals previously, no cold energy gathered when the two sword seals exploded. Instead, two balls of blue energy exploded; two green mountains seemed to rise up and combine in front of him.
All of the spectating Zhushan District cultivators had grave expressions. Any kind of sword seal manual would not just have one sword move, and not just one kind of seal. However, the more sword seals one could draw, the further along a person was on the path of sword seals.
The skill that Feng Qinghan displayed in the sword seals and the performance of Ding Ning’s two sword seals turning into a mountain was the difference between a child just learning to walk and an adult that could run and sprint.
Feng Qinghan knew that he had greatly underestimated the strength of this Changling youth, but he did not care now.
As he gave a loud shout, a powerful seal essence spread suddenly from his left hand and covered an area thirty meters wide.
All the air in this area froze, strange vibrations followed.
Even the heavy kitchen god statue behind him started to tremble, as though it feared this power.
Xue Wangxu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and filled with frost, like glittering pieces of ice.
The purple gold seal flew out of Feng Qinghan’s hand.
The golden seal lines on the purple seal seemed to be weird creatures that flew out of the seal and quickly spread through the air.
In the next moment, amidst the shocked gasps of numerous people, the small golden lines thickened and turned into golden lightning!
The purple energy rose and twisted together with golden lightning the thickness of an arm. The front edge’s presence hissed like a giant snake opening its mouth and hissing. The stone path along the way snapped and popped. The flowing lightning instantly burned numerous black marks on the stone.
The two green mountains could not stop this wild seal essence. The moment they touched the lightning at the front, they were about to collapse instantly.

Ding Ning made a lonely figure standing among the lightning and wind. He stood ahead of the chaotic flows of primal energies of the universe. Facing the lightning that was several times larger than his body, he had a complicated expression, slightly sad, slightly angry, but there was no fear.
His sword calmly and quickly sliced through the air in front of him. Just as the lightning and the two mountains touched, he once again formed a sword seal.
The white sword seal spread outwards, and a roaring river appeared between the two mountains.
A muffled bang spread outwards.
The different seal essences finally collided together fiercely.
The two mountains collapsed. The roaring river flowed backwards. The lightning snake continued to advance.
Bright bolts of lightning passed through the mist and the waters. They reflected even more light and it felt as though the snake was about to turn into a dragon.
Feng Qinghan’s eyes showed even more pleasure. His body quickly followed behind his attack.
The shattered green energy, the surging water moisture, and the water flow heated by the lightning all rushed backwards. Various presences were mixed together by an invisible hand and charged towards Ding Ning.
Ding Ning’s body was pushed back by the wave, his outer robes were torn apart by the different powers.
However, his sword-holding right hand was still steady.
In this moment, he formed a sword seal.
Many of the important people of Zhushan District changed expression.
With Ding Ning’s performance, his sword seal exuded an unyielding presence, as if he was going against the flow of the water.
A grey primal energies of the universe wave landed on the reverse flowing river. It seemed like a lonely sailboat going against the currents.
The bright lightning and the wild seal essence continued to advance. The waves they created were about to throw up and tear apart this lonely sailboat.
Even so, Ding Ning was absolutely calm. Sensing the movements of the lightning, his eyes suddenly grew as bright as stars. His vital energy furiously inundated the Last Flower remnant sword. It entered every small seal script and every tiny crack.
In this moment, he did not draw any seals. When countless white flowers bloomed on his blade, he threw the Last Flower sword forward towards a certain spot.
The sword suddenly spread apart, the threads of the sword outstretched like when they had stabbed in Su Qin’s arm.
In this moment, looking at these flowers filled with desperation, and feeling Ding Ning’s uncompromising presence, Feng Qianzhuo suddenly thought of something.

His face turned snowy white, his body surged with tremendous terror.
The spread remnant sword passed into the giant wave. This was a sword without any momentum, but this sword was not to shield, but to guide.
“Good!”
Sensing the exquisiteness of this sword essence, Xue Wangxu shouted in praise and slapped his leg.
“It actually is …”
In this moment, the elites of Zhushan District let out shouts in shock, many even rose to their feet in excitement.
The stretched sword threads and the bolts of lightning touched. Almost all the lightning flooded into the sword hilt along these threads, and flooded out of the hilt with a brighter flow. However, the lightning’s direction completely changed.
This bright bolt of lightning flowed out of the water and shot towards the sky.
Boom!
As this bolt of lightning exploded in the sky, the wave of water hit Ding Ning. Ding Ning’s body was moved backwards, and he started to bleed from his mouth.
“Enough!”
But he looked at Feng Qinghan who was charging behind the water flow and shouted lowly in anger.
Feng Qinghan heard his shout. However, he did not hear the warning and threat in Ding Ning’s furious shout.
He only saw the Last Flower remnant sword falling as it shone with lightning. He only saw that Ding Ning was wounded, and had no sword in hand.
So he did not pause and stabbed at Ding Ning without any hesitation.
Black sword energy once again appeared ahead of the Painting Sword.
Ding Ning became absolutely calm.
He had no other choice. Even he had to use his full power to defeat Feng Qinghan’s strike. Since he had no choice, he would not consider the consequences or any other matters.
He reached out with his right hand, his fingers held together. The fingernails on his right hand had previously split and were bleeding. He sent his vital energy out without any reservation. Blood spurted along with the vital energy, and a blood sword seemed to appear in his hand.
However, the vital energy and blood did not possess much power. They could not rival the sharp and strong Painting Sword.
But in this moment, Feng Qianzhuo, who had yet to recover from the events of the past, was completely awakened. He opened his mouth but had no time to shout.
Many seal lines once again appeared in front of Ding Ning.
These were blood red seal lines.
Feng Qinghan, whose youthful face was laced with viciousness, suddenly stopped breathing. His body froze instantaneously.
He had no time to react.
The blood red seal lines in front of him started to burn. Large amounts of hot primal energies contracted violently.
A setting sun seemed to appear above the lonely sailboat on the river.
Boom!
The setting sun and his sword tip collided. It immediately shattered into numerous blood red lines of fire!
“Ah!”
When these lines of fire stabbed into his skin, this young master Feng who wanted to cripple Ding Ning finally felt terror. He only had time to give a harsh scream.
Pew pew pew pew …
The sound of energy flows penetrating his body spread.
The thin lines of fire immediately pierced his body and then passed through carrying small flows of blood to splash on the stone floor behind him.
“Grandfather …”
Before his body fell, Feng Qinghan felt as though his body had been pierced through. His organs, marrow river, energy sea, and jade palace … In this moment, as he turned to look helplessly at Feng Qianzhuo, he was actually like a child. He only managed to scream a word before he lost consciousness.
“Qinghan!”
Before most people reacted, Feng Qianzhuo gave an inexplicable scream. He raced out madly and caught Feng Qinghan who had fainted.
“What sword art is this?”
“Using vital energy and blood as lines to attack …”
“Even if you can save him from this attack, he most likely will be bed-ridden!”
“The young master of the Feng Family …”
Only now did the spectators of Zhushan District start to react to what happened! Most people felt cold and numb all over in their shock.
Feng Qianzhuo’s usually benevolent and gentle features were completely twisted.
What was hard for many people to believe was Ding Ning took several steps forward and picked up the Last Flower remnant sword that had fallen to the ground.
A thunderous bang!
A spinning wall of wind appeared suddenly around Feng Qianzhuo. His hair danced like snakes, and endless murderousness spread.
Xue Wangxu frowned slightly. He took a step forward, and came in front of Ding Ning who was picking up his sword. Then he looked coolly at Feng Qianzhuo who seemed to be going mad. He said, “You know that he did this to himself.”
“Did this to himself? Hahaha …” Feng Qianzhuo laughed wildly into the sky.
“Bring my sword!”
In the next moment, he gave a sky-shaking roar.
Translator Ramblings: Writing out scenery that describes energies is weird and awkward.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
