After exchanging a few more moves both sides finally unsheathed their weapons. Qin Wushuang was using a sword while Qin Ling Tian was using a saber. "Ling Tian,the sword is the emperor of all weapons. The sword is meant to kill and this is the reason why it is the sharpest weapon in the world," Qin Wushuang said." Wushuang, the path of the saber is domineering and it is the most unbearable of the weapons as it focuses on momentum. As long as I breathe my saber is unbreakable," Qin Ling Tian replied as he stared at his saber. For many years this saber has been his companion for many years and they had fought side by side. It has long gained sentience and was considered a divine weapon. The duo practiced the most extreme paths of the two weapons. One practised the one style kill technique of the sword while the other practised the one style skill of the sword. They gathered their momentum and aura to the maximum. Each of them had reached a very high level of comprehension of their weapon techniques and even Tai Jian was far inferior. After a while they both attacked. This move would definitely decide the winner. Everyone thought so but at the critical moment Ling Tian withdrew his aura and shattered his own momentum. Qin Wushuang failed to do so on time and his sword managed to pierce Ling Tian but he did his best and avoided his delicate organs. As soon as his sword stabbed Ling Tian, he swiftly retreated. He stared at the smiling Ling Tian with resentment in his eyes. He knew that he had been played by his brother. No one could understand what was going on." Qin Wushuang and Ling Tian,after so many years instead of competing to win you are still competing on who will lose," an old man in white robes appeared. The old man had two swords on his back. He had a refined aura that made him look like a scholar. At this moment Qin Ling Tian was kneeling on the ground with one knee while Wushuang stood firmly on the ground like a spear. They both turned to stare at the old man. The spectators were also puzzled by the appearance of the old man. No one knew of the identity of the old man but the fact that he could calmly speak to both Ling Tian and Wushuang meant that he was out of the ordinary." Have you been gone for so long from the mountains that you have forgotten who I am?" The old man asked." Master," the duo unisonly bowed to the old man. The spectators were shocked but they knew better than to interfere in their conversation." Look at the mess the both of you have created. How many times have I warned you to stop playing your so called game?" The old man reprimanded. The duo could only hang their head low as they listened to their master. "It is time for the both of you to return to the mountains," the old man said. With just a sentence he ended the battle of supremacy between his two disciples. How could Wushuang and Ling Tian not understand what he meant. With them gone,the sect would likely choose the next emperor to rule the world in their behalf. In this battle no matter who won the result would still be the same and the world they fought so hard for will fall into the hands of the sect. The duo wanted to refuse but their master seemingly reading their thoughts hurriedly said," your wives are waiting for you in the sect." How could the duo not understand thr underlying threat in his words. They no longer had any choice and must go back. A sword appeared below the old man and he stepped on it. He enlargened the sword to fit three people. Wushuang and Ling Tian both stepped in the sword." Can I see my son one last time?" Qin Wushuang asked." I'll let you see him," the old man replied. After flying on the sword for a while the duo bumped into an energy field that they could not break through. Xue Kai who was sleeping outside heard the noise and woke up. He stared at the sky and saw three people flying in a sword. Ling Tian was still severely wounded and would probably lose his cultivation while Qin Wushuang was not injured. He had a calm expression on his face as he stared at the energy field. The old man tried to break the energy field but could only open a gap in it. After opening a gap,they entered and found an old mansion which was neatly arranged. Tai Jian was still injured and had yet to change his clothes. He had been transferring his energy to Tie Hongchen for three days but still she showed no signs of waking up. Qin Wushuang saw this and couldn't help but pity his son." What are you doing here?" Tai Jian coldly asked without even turning back to stare at the trio that had just arrived." Won't you welcome us inside or is this how you treat your guests?" Qin Wushuang asked. A letter came flying towards him. The letter was written with blood. The blood belonged to Tai Jian. Qin Wushuang read the letter and his face turned pale as he read the letter. For the first time he realised that his son was bold. He realised that his son had truly left him and no longer wanted to be called his son. What Tai Jian had written with his blood was a letter of severance. He was severing his reqlationship with his family. The blood in the letter was still wet which meant that it had only been written recently. Qin Wushuang stared at the letter in a daze." Not that I don't welcome guests but it depends on who the guest is. Some guests are just not worthy of entering my mansion. From now onwards I no longer bear the surname Qin," Tai Jian said." What do you mean by that? Do you want to disgrace your ancestors?" Ling Tian asked. Tai Jian did not even answer. He still continued caressing Tie Hongchen's face. By now he had already wiped off all the blood stains that she had and even her wound was healed. One might think that she was asleep. She was now just an empty shell that bore no life. Wushuang's expression was unsightly at this moment. He knew that he had forever lost his son. Tai Jian did not even stare at him. He could see that Tai Jian's expression at this moment was cold. There was no anger in his eyes and no joy or sorrow. He was calm. Just silence. To him the mortal realm no longer mattered. This was a type of enclosure to him and also the worst kind of heartbreak for others. No one could guess what he was thinking but at this moment his thoughts were unfathomable. His heart was dead and his world was now dark." Have you decided?" Qin Wushuang asked. He expected a reply from Tai Jian but he received none. Tai Jian did not bother and went back into the house.
