Chapter 28 Again Rainy Days

  The gloomy sky is reflected in the dense forest, making it even more dull and dark, like a pitch-black night.

  The raindrops fell heavily, originally a gentle drizzle, but after gathering on the leaves and branches, they became large droplets that fell down, like a leaky roof, windless yet sorrowful.

  "Ding... ding ding......"

  Wang Tao's knife shone with a brilliant light in the darkness, swiftly sweeping away the dense blue needles at an incredible speed and angle. The buzzing and hissing sounds gave the quiet forest a hint of life.

  "Wow!"

  His hands moved swiftly, but still couldn't block the dense rain of needles. Wang Tao's figure leapt into the air, jumping out of the circle surrounded by needles, and landed with a splash, sending up countless water droplets!

  The already rain-soaked black hair couldn't hide the solemn and tender small face, whose eyes gleamed with a concentrated gaze. With a wave of his hand, the nameless sword whirred to life, shooting up into the sky. The moment it left Wang Tao's hand, it transformed into endless flowing light, filling the entire space in an instant. When one looked again, the nameless sword had returned to Wang Tao's hand, but the countless fine needles had all vanished!

  "Swift, flashing blade lights intersect!" The endless blade edges that had just flashed by quickly, was the ability displayed by the knife after grasping a hint of swiftness, making swift even swifter! The humming sound continued, Wang Tao's eyes condensed and he shouted, "Steady intent, heavy blade mountain suppresses the sea!"

  The most familiar and stable atmosphere suddenly changed, the air was trembling in an invisible way, and the thick and heavy momentum filled the entire space. The bees that flew over felt the invisible pressure and fell to the ground with a shake!

  "That's enough for today!" Putting away the nameless sword, Wang Tao stood up straight and looked towards the giant beehive in the distance, muttering to himself. Instantly, all the bees flew back into the hive. After three months of "battle", Wang Tao had never posed a threat to even one bee, at most just applying some pressure. This had actually earned him the goodwill of the bees, and every time he came, some bees would help him practice his sword intent while also training their own combat strength - it was a mutually beneficial arrangement! Wang Tao knew that there must be an intelligent life form within the hive, but he didn't bother to investigate further.

  Walking on the road back to the tree hole with accumulated water, Wang Tao fell into deep thought: "I have reached the three standards of stability, accuracy and speed. This first step should be considered complete, can I proceed to the second step practice?"

  The rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and the overcast weather had a certain impact on Wang Tao's mood.

  "This weather, as if someone has covered the sky, makes people feel oppressed in their hearts. Is this invisible oppressive atmosphere the pressure of heaven? This rain is my second rain since I came to this world, but it's different from the first rain I saw when I just arrived. The only similarity is that both rains are lingering... The breath of that previous rain was like a gloomy face of heaven, but without a sense of explosion. But this time, it seems like heaven has already burst into flames..."

  Unconsciously, Wang Tao was attracted by the rain and the gloomy sky, his footsteps had stopped without realizing it. Now, he just raised his head and stared blankly at the big raindrops falling down, listening to the sound of countless rainwater splashing.

  "Rain is gentle, yet sorrowful, silently melting life but bringing forth worries. The vast sky rages, overturning the heavens, thunderously shaking the earth and shattering the firmament..."

  At this moment, Wang Tao had a feeling that the rain undoubtedly brought back bad memories in his heart, but he also had to admit its existence and it was also a representation of the power of nature! Although there was rain under the tree, there was no wind because of the dense forest blocking it. However, the dense leaves in the sky were frantically swaying, indicating that the outside was not calm!

  "The wind outside is unceasing, a turbulent world approaches..."

  Wow!

  Suddenly, Wang Tao felt this way. Just as Wang Tao was self-deprecating, the sky that had been blown away by the wind revealed a few strands of aurora that tore through the sky and created ripples!

  "Is that the Ascension Light? And someone has descended upon this desolate land? And that mysterious monk... It seems the Cultivation Continent is not as peaceful as it seems!" This feeling only lasted for an instant, and in the next moment, Wang Tao's gaze was drawn back to the rain. For Wang Tao, his current strength was still too weak, and wanting to participate in that chaos might even put him in danger of self-preservation, he didn't want to go exploring.

  "I can feel that there's a breakthrough opportunity in this rain, but it's extremely vague!" It was a strange feeling, as if he was just one step away from understanding something, but this vagueness blocked his way to further exploration!

  That isolation made Wang Tao subconsciously take out the nameless knife and start swinging it, as if to use the knife to cut through the mist, to peek at the scenery behind the mist. Unbeknownst to him, Wang Tao became lost in the rainwater mist.

  The sound of "whooshing" and "swishing" echoed through the dense, dark forest. The glint of the blade flashed as countless raindrops were slashed apart, each swing using all its might to dance in the air. Not only was the speed of the blade fast, but also its accuracy and stability were fully displayed!

  He had practiced to the point of being in a state of trance, and even if he wanted to stop, he couldn't. Wang Tao didn't intend to stop either, but subconsciously compared himself to the continuously raging sky, the dark clouds, and the endless rain. Suddenly, the aura emitted by Wang Tao's nameless sword began to undergo drastic changes, an aura of anger, fury, bloodlust, dominance, and supremacy, as if it were the wrath of heaven itself!

  With that air of heavenly anger, the knife is no longer as stiff as it used to be. It seems to have come alive and has an expression. That expression is precisely the intent of heavenly anger!

  "Wooo..."

  The sword broke through the air and went away, making a "whirring" sound, like that mournful wind cutting through the endless void.

  Rumble...

  The sword struck fiercely, emitting a thunderous sound, as if the heavens' angry roar shook the earth.

  "Heh heh..."

  The knife moved horizontally with a whooshing sound, as if a bolt of lightning had destroyed everything...

  "Ah!" With a sudden burst, Wang Tao let out a loud roar, and in an instant his entire body's energy surged to its limits. The single knife in his hand shot straight up, supporting the heavens and standing on the earth, and in the next moment, it was filled with endless true energy while also attracting countless wandering heavenly and earthly energies, violently slashing them out!

  "Perceiving Sword, Unparalleled Heavenly Sword!"

  This sword is none other than the first sword of "Destiny Heaven Sword", 'Perceptive Sword, Unparalleled Heaven Sword'!

  That blood moon-like blade aura, half-hung high in the sky, shining all around, a flash of bloody light, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into thin air. A moment of darkness, but suddenly another burst of light!

  Rumble!

  "Rustle... rustle... rustle... BOOM!!"

  Two sounds, one in front and one behind, suddenly echoed from afar!

  In the distance, a thick ancient tree trunk was split with a terrifying crack, and the entire nearly three-meter diameter trunk disappeared without leaving any splinters. The remaining supporting trees could no longer support the massive body, and it came crashing down with a loud noise that echoed throughout the dense forest...

  Ps: Although I've heard that signing and data aren't closely related, Xianzong still feels a chill in his heart when looking at the data. Can fellow Taoists make the synthesis data look better? It would also improve Xianzong's mood! (This chapter still doesn't quite meet my own expectations... I revised it several times but couldn't get it to convey what I wanted, sigh...)
