Chapter 543 – The Gods Make Way

　　The ethereal-colored dome of the sky trembled.

　　Gusty winds howled low in the city.

　　Between the rolling dust and sand, Zhou Ping walked forward, step by step, along that road with his hands empty.

　　Those shouts that rose and fell through the whimpering wind fell into his ears.

　　”Beheading the God ……? ……”

　　He muttered.

　　He stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on his chest.

　　There, a luster like glaze flowed across the surface of his skin, growing brighter and brighter.

　　In his heart, some kind of dusty, long-sealed emotion was stirring, as if it was about to break through the shackles and rush out.

　　That kind of feeling was called love.

　　Since when did he lose his expectations for this world?

　　Since when did he stop loving this world?

　　Since when did he start rejecting this world?

　　Zhou Ping did not know, nor did he want to reminisce, he chose to seal those memories in the depths of his heart, letting them become completely past tense.

　　But now, the fire in his heart was burning hotter and hotter.

　　Once upon a time, although he had made many attempts to help Da Xia to resolve calamities, that was more because of the chivalry that he aspired to in his heart.

　　He felt that a Sword Saint should guard the world, so he did it.

　　It was duty, not from the heart.

　　But this time was different.

　　This time, he truly heard their voices.

　　Those two night watchmen, those three children, the tens of thousands of people sleeping in that city, it was as if they were all saying:

　　”–Please ask the Great Summer Sword Saint to behead the gods!”

　　This voice silenced all other voices like the bells of a Buddhist temple, reverberating in Zhou Ping’s mind, and in his heart, that nearly depleted Sword Intent skyrocketed at an astonishing rate!

　　Someone admired him, someone trusted him, someone needed him.

　　Wasn’t this, the warrior he aspired to be?

　　The heavy shackles that pressed on his heart, which had been pried open at one corner by Lin Qiye and the others, at this moment, burned hot by the rekindled flames in his heart, churning violently!

　　His aura climbed up, and his spine, which was slightly bent by his injuries, slowly straightened out.

　　Around him, the sound of swords rose in all directions!

　　As if there were endless swords surrounding him, along with his footsteps, buzzing in unison, louder and louder, such as a stunning phoenix, resonating through the clouds.

　　On his skin, a glazed luster flowed slowly.

　　Those eyes were bright as a mirror.

　　By the time Zhou Ping took the final step, a low rumbling sound resounded within him, as if a hammer had struck on top of an ancient brass bell, buzzing.

　　Almost.

　　It was still a little bit short of breaking that shackle ……

　　Zhou Ping’s brow furrowed as he looked down at his glazed colored palm and sighed helplessly.

　　The fire in his heart, which had already burned out, was still half a step away from breaking that ceiling ……

　　He had no time left.

　　Zhou Ping raised his head and looked beyond the spectral-colored sky at the three gods that had successively bombarded the Fengdu Laws, and took a step out.

　　His figure disappeared in place.

　　Above the clouds.

　　The God of Yellow Sand, Set, the God of Wind, Hugh, and Amon looked down at the city emitting ethereal light, their brows slightly furrowed.

　　”This Great Summer Law is really difficult.” Amon’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of purple aura flashed in his eyes.

　　”Even if the three of us join forces, it will be impossible to break the Great Summer Law in a short period of time.” Hugh, who was still wounded, said calmly, “The priority now is still to bring this city back to Sun City.”

　　Sait, who was clad in a yellow cloak, swept his gaze over the city, his eyebrows rising slightly as he said.

　　”Hugh, where is that very strong human you mentioned? We’ve been here for so long, why hasn’t he come out yet? It’s not like you’re making him up at all, is it?”

　　Hugh frowned at him, “I have no need to lie to you guys.”

　　His gaze fell on the city that was emitting an ethereal light, and a puzzled look appeared on his brow.

　　”Strange, with such a big commotion, it’s impossible for him not to feel it before ……”

　　Could it be that the injuries he had left on the other party were too heavy and he was already dead?

　　Sait turned his head to look at the black-clothed Amon and asked, “Across the Fengdu Laws, can you move the curse?”

　　”It can.” Amon nodded, “Something like fortune is not something that can be blocked by the Laws in the first place, so as long as you use this cut off dragon vein as a guide, you can curse the entire land of Daxia.”

　　”Then you may begin.”

　　Amon slowly raised his hands, a black scepter held between the palms of his right hand, his left hand pinched a bizarre gesture, eerie black aura blossomed from his body, and an evil to the core aura spread in the air.

　　Ding—!

　　Just then, a figure appeared in front of them out of nowhere.

　　That person’s black shirt was stained with blood, and his hands were empty.

　　His eyes were as calm as water and bright as a sword.

　　The moment he appeared, the swirling vortex of clouds in the sky suddenly came to a standstill, and thousands of sword roars came from the void, resounding through the heavens and earth.

　　His gaze calmly swept over the three gods and

　　Slowly, he spoke:

　　”Great Summer Sword Saint Zhou Ping, please make way for the gods!”

　　It was him!

　　The moment he saw this scene, Hugh instead felt a sense of gratitude in his heart.

　　The fact that he had appeared was proof that what he had said was not empty talk, and as long as Sait experienced this human’s sword for himself, he would know why he had been forced back ……

　　Wait…

　　Where was his sword?

　　Hugh looked at Zhou Ping’s empty hands and suddenly froze.

　　Above the clouds, Sait frowned slightly when he saw this man who suddenly appeared.

　　”Asking us to make way? A mere human, what a big mouth!” He sneered coldly.

　　Boom-!

　　He reached out and gently waved his hand, and endless yellow sand surged out from beneath his yellow cloak, obscuring most of the sky in an instant.

　　Each of those dark yellow gravels exuded terrifying aura fluctuations that could easily blast through half of a city, and they mingled with the gusts of wind, emitting deafening bursts.

　　Yellow sand filled the sky!

　　Zhou Ping held his sword finger in his right hand and flicked it in front of his body.

　　Surging sword qi surrounded him, and each sword qi shattered a grain of yellow sand that was approaching his body, and even though the yellow sand was roiling the sky, none of it managed to enter three feet in front of him.

　　Astonishment surfaced in Sait’s eyes.

　　After these yellow sands swept past Zhou Ping’s body, they piled up rapidly, transforming into a desert hanging in the clouds, an area five times the size of the city beneath him, the sunlight shone on top of this overhanging desert, casting a large range of shadows on the ground, obscuring the sky and the sun.

　　At the same time, on top of this vast desert, a huge dark yellow hanging sand tower rose up from the ground, about 900 meters high, as if it was going to poke through the sky, standing majestically.

　　Sait’s figure transformed into a handful of yellow sand and disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already standing at the top of that sand tower.

　　”Desert Sand Realm.”

　　He opened his arms, his yellow cloak fluttering in the wind as if he was embracing this hanging desert.

　　And in front of the tower at his feet, Zhou Ping’s figure was as small as a mole cricket.

　　Bang-!!!

　　The sand around Zhou Ping suddenly exploded, and a nearly one hundred meter huge palm of yellow sand coalesced rapidly and slapped violently at his body!
