Legend of Swordsman

4208 Defeating the Enemy With a Single Finger

A gust of wind blew and Jian Wushuang looked around calmly.

He saw that the city was barren, but the divine power aura and law aura were unusually thick.

The city was densely built with countless low palaces. In front of each Palace, there was a wooden tablet with different numbers.

From 1,000 to 1st place, a total of 1000 low palaces were arranged in a ‘one’ shape.

Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes. From the moment he stepped into the first city, he could sense that there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes watching him.

Jian Wushuang knew that it was not an illusion. If he was not wrong, the owner of the eyes should be ‘that lord’.

Jian Wushuang did not care. He walked to the entrance of the Thousandth Palace, took off his wooden token, and knocked on the door.

Bang!

The next moment, a burly man walked out of the hall with a giant hammer in his hand.

“Eh? A fifth-stage chief Ruler?” The burly man sized up Jian Wushuang and saw that his aura was only at the fifth level. He was curious.

Then, he shook his head and said in a rough voice, “I am the God of tremendous strength. Kid, you want to challenge me?”

Jian Wushuang nodded and said with a calm expression, “Yes.”

“Then let’s start!”

Immediately, an invisible wave surged in the void and covered the place where the two of them were.

The invisible fluctuation was extremely vast and terrifying. Even Jian Wushuang could not help but feel surprised.

This should be the rule of the ancient road to determine the winner and the loser. It also protects the battle so that the aftershocks won’t affect the people around them. Jian Wushuang’s mind was racing.

“Roar!”

The burly man let out a furious roar. His skin turned red and his veins twisted like tree roots.

He lifted the giant hammer and smashed it at Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang’s expression was calm as he faced the unparalleled hammer. He slowly raised his finger and pointed it at the burly man.

Bang!

With a soft explosion, the giant hammer was shattered into pieces.

Jian Wushuang’s finger stopped in front of the burly man’s forehead in disbelief.

“Thanks for letting me win.”

With a calm expression, Jian Wushuang continued to walk toward another palace.

“H-how is this possible??” The burly man’s eyes widened and he looked at Jian Wushuang’s back in shock.

Then, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

That finger just now, if it had pushed forward another three inches, it would have taken his life.

First city, outside the city gates.

He succeeded?!

“How is that possible? Wasn’t this person a fifth stage great Ruler? Could I have seen wrongly?”

“Could this person be a Divine Son Young Emperor nurtured by some top force?”

“Defeat an enemy across the border? Tsk, tsk, this is not common.”

Many Rulers began to discuss this with interested expressions.

They weren’t that shocked. After all, the geniuses of the entire universe had gathered on the ancient path of stars. They had seen a few people who could cross levels and kill enemies. They were already used to it.

On the stone stele, the words ‘Herculean Ruler’ on the thousandth position slowly disappeared and were replaced by the words ‘Blood Sword’!

“When the Herculean Ruler comes out, ask him what’s going on. Why can’t he even defeat a fifth-stage great Ruler?”

Some of the Ultimate Rulers who were familiar with the Ruler of tremendous strength said with a laugh.

Bang!

It did not take long for the crowd to see the mighty Ruler walk out of the city gates in a daze.

“What’s up with that Blood Sword, mighty Ruler? Can you tell us?”

“Hahaha, Herculean Ruler, you’ve really lost a great deal of face this time. You were actually defeated by a fifth stage fellow.”

“That kid, did he give you some benefits?”

The friends of the Herculean Ruler laughed and teased him.

The herculean Ruler rolled his eyes at these words and snorted, “Who do you think I am? You’re even giving me benefits?”

After a pause, the Herculean Ruler took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, “You guys haven’t seen how terrifying this man’s methods are, so don’t talk nonsense.”

After saying that, Ju Li stopped talking and sat down cross-legged with a complicated look in his eyes.

Even now, he still had lingering fear.

That finger was too terrifying.

He was convinced of his loss.

“Tremendous force? Is he really as terrifying as you said? Why don’t you tell everyone how you lost?”

The surrounding Ultimate Ruler laughed nonchalantly. In their opinion, the Herculean Ruler was just trying to find a way out of this embarrassing situation. After all, only by making Jian Wushuang sound powerful enough would he not be embarrassed.

The Herculean Ruler glanced at the faces of the Ultimate Rulers. Taking a deep breath, he extended a finger and said slowly, “This person defeated me with a single finger.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

“What? He only used one finger?”

“Is what you said true, mighty Ruler?”

At this moment, everyone’s expression changed. It should be known that there was a huge difference between defeating an enemy with one finger and defeating an enemy with great effort.

Just as everyone was asking the Herculean Ruler questions, someone in the crowd suddenly cried out, “Look, the Blood Sword’s ranking has risen again!”

Everyone quickly looked at the stone tablet.

The two words ‘Blood Sword’ on the stone tablet were rising at an unstoppable speed!

999th place, Blood Sword.

998th place, Blood Sword.

865th place, Blood Sword!

…

Blood Sword, 633rd place!

In the blink of an eye, Jian Wushuang’s ranking on the stone tablet rose to six hundred and sixty-third, only one rank lower than Ruler Qing Lin!

At this moment, there was a dead silence outside the city gate. Everyone was so shocked by the scene in front of them that their eyes almost fell out.

They could only watch as Jian Wushuang’s ranking rose without any pause!

In the blink of an eye, Jian Wushuang’s ranking had already risen by a step.

“I remember that the last time I was in the first city, the one who advanced so quickly was the First Prince of the Da Feng Divine Kingdom.” One of the Ultimate Rulers said, swallowing.

“Doesn’t that mean that this person is a heaven’s favorite that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the first Prince?” An Ultimate Ruler was speechless.

In the crowd, only the people from the Wandering Cultivator Alliance did not look good.

“Hmph, how can this person be mentioned in the same breath as the First Prince? The First Prince is an unparalleled Ruler of the entire universe. Where did this guy come from?” One of the final Rulers of the Wandering Cultivator Alliance snorted coldly in disdain.

When everyone heard this, they could not help but look at him, but they did not refute him.
