The battle between Dong Fang Qing Cang and Shuo Feng sword soul has caused the mountain rocks in the cave to tremble, and continue to fall incessantly. Many of the rock debris knocked against the female general statue in the middle, but when the rock debris landed on the statue, they immediately became frozen. It can be seen that the statue was extremely cold.

Little Orchid looked at the vague five features [on face] of the woman, and softly muttered, "I do not remember if there was a female immortal in the heavenly realm with such a mighty stance like this ah. They would wear loose clothing and step lightly like clouds; no one can have such stance energy like this."

Dong Fang Qing Cang used his right hand to support himself up and coldly said with a bit of a mocking tone, "The heavenly realm has no God of War?"

Little Orchid froze, and then remembered the past to realize, "This is Chi De[1] woman…" The God of War in the legends, a hero that has defeated Dong Fang Qing Cang.

Dong Fang Qing Cang paid no attention to Little Orchid anymore, and his right hand congregated flames. Those flames burned into a rope and crawled like a snake—wrapping around the sword besides Chi De woman. The fiery snakes burned the frozen ice on the sword. The extreme hotness and extreme coldness collided and battled against each other. The white energy gushed out and caused the frozen cave to become hazy. Gradually, the fight between fire and ice became more intense as the energy in the cave was like sharp blades—tugging back and forth, slicing the rocks. Little Orchid was scared as she stared at the ground sliced into paths with no ends by the heat of the flames appearing from the fight. The tips of the blades suddenly froze in front of Dong Fang Qing Cang by three steps and abruptly disappeared without a trace as if dispersed.

At that time Little Orchid remembered, in front of her there was already a clear boundary from a while ago. It stopped any stirring energy from outside. Dong Fang Qing Cang still stood towering over the trembles and across from Chi De woman. At that moment Little Orchid realized, when master told the story, the battle between Dong Fang Qing Cang and Chi De woman that caused the sky to overturned and the earth and moon to be affected were not magniloquent. With just the battle between two energies that have not used all their strengths was already horrifying like this. If there was a day when they truly go against each other…

When Little Orchid continued to worry, a sudden gigantic sound rang, and the layer of frozen ice on the outside of Shuo Feng sword was finally burnt away cleanly by the raging flames of Dong Fang Qing Cang. The frozen wall cracked.

Dong Fang Qing Cang raised his hands and the fiery snakes wrapped around Shuo Feng sword and pulled it down. Dong Fang Qing Cang grabbed the hilt of the sword in his hand. Little Orchid can sense clearly that it was resisting quite strongly, but the five fingers of Dong Fang Qing Cang barely used strength as the end of the sword was wrapped in flames. The sword immediately went silent.

Little Orchid was horrified and spoke, "You killed Shuo Feng sword soul?" If the soul died, the sword will become scrap.

Dong Fang Qing Cang placed Shuo Feng sword on his waist, "Only forced it to obey."

Losing Shuo Feng sword, the frozen statue of Chi De woman lost within a blink of an eye its surrounding glow. The mountain rocks up top fell and crushed the head of the statue. Dust blew everywhere, the ground shook, and Little Orchid knew— this place cannot withstood the battle before and was already collapsing.

"We must find the exit quickly."

"Why look?" Dong Fang Qing Cang said condescendingly and the energy around the body stirred and moved toward the ceiling of the cave. It broke the mountain rocks and tear open a path in the middle of the mountain and [they] flew out. After leaving the cave, Little Orchid suddenly turned and looked back. The statue of Chi De woman was completely buried under the collapsing mountain. The sounds produced were loud and the mountain snow behind had a round of collapsing. Surely, the frozen cave inside no longer existed.

Little Orchid looked at the sword on the waist, looked at the mountain snow beginning to form a landslide, and said, "You caused destruction like this, the heavenly realm will surely punish you."

Dong Fang Qing Cang laughed and was not bothered, "Ben zuo already has thousands of crimes, and am not scared of one more. Now in heavenly realm there is no one that can do anything to me."

Little Orchid pouted, "I am a person of the heavenly realm ah."

Finished speaking, the response to her was the silence of Kunlun mountains after the snow dropped.

"Also ah." Little Orchid felt that right now Dong Fang Qing Cang cannot do anything to her and so she was determined to continue speaking, "You are so powerful, yet when [we] entered the frozen cave your soul was still pulled out ah. With one bit already disappeared, and cannot withstand as long as I did."

Dong Fang Qing Cang originally did not want to pay any attention to her, but Little Orchid continued to harp incessantly and caused him to feel annoyed. Thus, he responded, "In the world there are no fewer openings/cracks. Your master informing you about various places was correct. To many people this place is death. One, it's the cold that acts as a shield. Two, there's the opening to tear apart the soul from the body. Chi De woman froze the sword here so that no one can look/desire Shuo Feng."

"Yet, you still took the sword out. Total disregard for the will of another person."

Dong Fang Qing Cang coldly sneered, "You can blame that Chi De woman was incompetence and did not concealed the sword carefully."

Little Orchid shot a glance, "Your soul was tear from the body while not being able to return and actually called people incompetent."

"If not you wouldn't have to compete for half of ben zuo's body…" Dong Fang Qing Cang gritted his teeth and restrained the rage inside, "Nevermind. Already has taken Shuo Feng. Lead the way for ben zuo to the demon market under Kunlun to buy a sword sheath."

Footnotes:

[1] Forgot to mention before but her name means Red Ground, but Red Ground woman sounds quite weird since she doesn't even wear red at this point nor was her skin reddish either… I capitalized the Chi De part since she's a prominent figure/person in the story.

Translator’s Note: Sorry for the delay >.< I’ll get the next part out sooner.
