“How arrogant. He dared to issue a challenge in advance and not launch a sneak attack. Does he really think he has a chance?” Bai Qi snorted.
Jiang Jian frowned and said, “But his sword was indeed very fast. This person is indeed very strong.”
Jiang Changsheng put down the sword and the letter in his hand burned into ashes.
Jiang Jian curiously asked, “Grandmaster, have you thought about how to fight him? Do you want to compete with him in swordsmanship or use the Chen Family’s Qi Finger?”
Who in the world did not know that the Dao Ancestor knew swordsmanship? The Taiqing Sword Technique was already a legendary ultimate technique.
The Chen Family’s Qi Finger was also equally praised. One finger could destroy tens of thousands of ultimate techniques, and so far, it had never failed.
Jiang Changsheng flipped his right hand and took out the Sun Shooting Divine Bow. He placed it on the ground and the seven-colored gemstones on the bow shone on Jiang Jian and Bai Qi’s faces.
“What kind of divine weapon is this?”
Jiang Jian was stunned and subconsciously reached for the Sun Shooting Divine Bow.
Jiang Changsheng did not stop him and said, “This is a divine bow I forged. In fact, I am better at archery than swordsmanship.”
Jiang Jian subconsciously pulled the bowstring of the Sun Shooting Divine Bow. He widened his eyes and exerted all his strength. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull the bowstring.
Bai Qi said, “Stop pretending. It’s not funny.”
Jiang Jian blushed and said, “I’m really not pretending. If you don’t believe me, give it a try!”
He released his grip and allowed Bai Qi to give it a try.
Bai Qi raised her wolf claw and hooked it, but it did not budge.
Jiang Jian looked at Jiang Changsheng and asked excitedly, “Are there any more such divine weapons?”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “No. After all, good refining materials are hard to find. How is it? Grandmaster’s treasure is powerful, right?”
Jiang Jian nodded excitedly and said, “Grandmaster, when are you going to increase the weight of my three-pointed double-edged sword?”
Compared to bows and arrows, he preferred a three-pointed double-edged sword. One inch longer and one inch stronger. However, ten thousand kilograms was not enough to satisfy him.
“Wait a little longer. I’ve asked your father to pay attention to heavier refining materials,” Jiang Changsheng said with a smile.
He turned to look at the horizon with a teasing expression.
Sword God, let’s see if your strongest Sword Dao can withstand my arrow!
The Sword God had arrived at the Si Province!
This news immediately caused an uproar in the capital. More and more martial artists gathered below Martial Peak. A large number of martial artists had also gathered outside the city. As far as the eye could see, a radius of ten miles was filled with temporary inns. Every family’s business was full as they waited for the decisive battle of the peak of martial arts.
The Dao Ancestor was an immortal, but the Sword God was a peerless expert from two hundred years ago. His lifespan had exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. In their eyes, the Dao Ancestor and the Sword God were not ordinary people.
The high-ranking officials, nobles, and merchants were also looking forward to this battle. Due to the arrival of the Sword God, business in the entire city had skyrocketed, and the merchants could not stop smiling.
Even the princes, princesses, and concubines in the palace were discussing this battle.
In the throne room, Jiang Ziyu and Jiang Xiu sat at a table. It was rare for the father and son to be so idle.
Jiang Xiu said, “Father, in a year at most, the vast Great Wilderness will be completely annexed by Great Jing. What do you intend to do next?”
Jiang Ziyu leaned against a chair with a handful of fruit in his hand. As he ate, he smiled and said, “I naturally have to continue fighting. As long as I am alive,
I will try my best to expand the territory of Great Jing.”
Jiang Xiu hastily said, “Father will definitely live to a hundred years old, no, two hundred years old.”
“Silly child, I know my body best. Without advancing to the True God realm, who can live to two hundred years old? It’s hard to even reach a hundred years old. ”
Jiang Ziyu smiled and looked into the distance.
He had already put down his burden, which made him feel extremely relaxed. He was not afraid of death or reincarnation.
Jiang Xiu was silent.
He felt conflicted. On one hand, he hoped that Jiang Ziyu would live longer, but on the other hand, he was worried that he would not live as long as Jiang Ziyu.
“Don’t think too much. Even though it is difficult to unify the world, if the Jiang Family can pass on their will from generation to generation and work hard for their ancestors, there will be a day when they can unify the world and establish a historical precedent. I have also thought it through. It is a pity that I was born too early. I will rely on you for the future.”
Jiang Ziyu smiled. He was already 66 years old, which was considered a long life for an emperor. After all, he had to work hard every day.
Jiang Xiu solemnly said, “I understand. I will definitely pass on Father’s will.”
Jiang Ziyu put down the fruit in his hand and clapped his hands. “Today, I will tell you a secret of the Jiang Family. Remember it well. In the future, you have to tell the next crown prince and pass it down from generation to generation so that the future generations of the Jiang Family will know about it. However, it cannot be spread out. Only the Emperor of the Jiang Family can know.”
When Jiang Xiu heard that, he was curious and nodded.
Jiang Ziyu began to tell her about the founding of Great Jing. When he heard that the first crown prince of Great Jing had been switched, Jiang Xiu’s expression changed slightly. His guess was confirmed, but he still listened obediently.
An hour later.
Jiang Xiu was in a trance. Even though he had guessed that the Grandmaster was his grandfather, he did not expect the matter to be so complicated.
Uncle-Master Ping’an was also a member of the Jiang Family’s royal family.
“Your grandfather’s martial arts realm is unimaginably high, so his lifespan must be extremely long. If this secret is passed down from generation to generation, perhaps one day, when Great Jing is about to collapse, the future generations can rely on your grandfather and turn the tide for Great Jing.” Jiang Ziyu stared into the distance and said calmly.
Jiang Xiu clenched his fists in his sleeves and nodded solemnly. “I will remember it well and will not let this secret be leaked.”
The father and son were well aware that Jiang Changsheng did not seek fame or fortune. He devoted himself to martial arts and never left the mountain all year round. With such an attitude, how could he possibly take care of the Jiang Family’s descendants? If the Jiang Family’s descendants no longer relied on Jiang Changsheng, he would also fade away.
Jiang Xiu calmed himself down and turned to look at the horizon.
The sea of clouds in the sky was torn apart as if it had been cut by a sword, splitting the sky into two. It was a spectacular sight.
The Sword God was coming!
A hundred miles away.
The Sword God stepped forward, followed by a vast number of swords that stretched across the sky.
Below, people all over the mountain looked up one after another. There were martial artists rushing to the capital and carriages escorting goods. All of them were stunned by this spectacular scene.
All the martial artists holding swords could not control their swords. One by one, the swords unsheathed themselves and flew into the sky to join the group of swords.
The Sword God continued to move forward.
He was getting closer and closer to the capital. Not long after, the martial artists waiting outside the capital saw him walking towards them from the horizon with a long line of swords behind him. Together, it looked like a river of swords, magnificent and majestic.
“Hiss—that’s the Sword God?”
“Are there really so many swords? How is that possible? The art of riding a sword is already strange. How much true qi does he have to lead so many swords all the way here?”
“What a terrifying sword intent. My sword is moving.”
“As expected of the Sword God. He’s really like a god. The Dao Ancestor has encountered a powerful opponent!”
“I don’t think so. We don’t know how powerful the Dao Ancestor is. Don’t forget that day when that mysterious expert who claimed to be in the Heaven realm covered the sky, wasn’t he easily defeated by the Dao Ancestor?”
The martial artists discussed among themselves. As the Sword God got closer and closer, the swords of the surrounding martial artists flew out of their scabbards and rushed into the sky. This scene was equally shocking. Some experts tried to press on the hilt of their swords, but it was useless. They were still repelled and their palms were cracked. It was a terrifying scene.
As they looked at the Sword God flying over their heads, the vast and endless river of swords was completely displayed before their eyes, making their hearts beat faster and they were dumbstruck.
They could sense that the true qi in the sky was like an ocean, and their own true qi seemed as insignificant as a bowl of water.
The Sword God was already approaching the capital. He wanted to walk along the northern city wall towards Longqi Temple near the northern gate.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..
In the capital, countless swords shot out and flew towards the group of swords behind the Sword God. It was as if a rain of swords had risen into the sky, shocking countless martial artists who ran out of their inns and houses as they watched this scene with their mouths agape.
This person was really the God of Swords!
“I am willing to challenge the Dao Ancestor with my strongest Sword Dao. Please take action!”
The Sword God spoke, and his voice echoed between heaven and earth for a long time.
Jiang Ziyu and Jiang Xiu were also amazed by the scene.
In Yu Yanyi’s courtyard, her father, Yu Qinpeng, had also arrived. The other disciples of the Fuyue Family looked at the Sword God in disbelief.
The higher the realm, the more they could sense the terror of the Sword God.
Other than their true qi, they also sensed the terrifying sword intent. The Sword God used his sword intent to control countless swords. On the surface, he seemed to be squandering his true qi, but in fact, he was accumulating strength. Once he attacked, he would definitely destroy the world and even flatten the entire capital.
“Take action first. Just don’t hurt the citizens of the city.”
Jiang Changsheng’s calm voice sounded and echoed incessantly. Since the other party was so pretentious, he could not lose his momentum. He would let the entire city watch this battle.
When the Sword God heard that, he immediately stopped. He raised his right hand and reached for the sword basket behind him. Holding a hilt, he pulled it out.
Clang!
Sword light flashed between heaven and earth. The Sword God raised the sword in his hand and released it. The sword floated in front of him.
Inside and outside the capital, countless martial artists and commoners looked up at him. The disciples and devotees of Longqi Temple on Martial Peak were also looking at him nervously. The aura of the Sword God far exceeded the experts who had come to challenge Jiang Chansheng before.
In the courtyard.
Bai Qi looked at Jiang Changsheng as he stretched his muscles with anticipation.
Standing on the wall, Jiang Jian turned his head and said, “Grandmaster, he’s going to attack!”
He was anxious because Jiang Changsheng was too calm. If the vast group of swords were to land on them, Longqi Mountain would be shattered.
Jiang Changsheng picked up the Sun Shooting Divine Bow and jumped to his side. Bai Qi followed him to Jiang Changsheng’s other side and they looked at the Sword God in the distance.
“Don’t panic. Let’s see if his sword is stronger or my arrow is sharper.”
Jiang Changsheng chuckled. He raised the Sun Shooting Divine Bow with his left hand and aimed at the Sword God.
“I have been practicing martial arts for 400 years. 200 years ago, I achieved great success in my Sword Dao and reached the Universe realm. 200 years later, I have mastered the Sword Dao and comprehended the sword intent of heaven and earth. This sword will definitely change the color of heaven and earth. Dao Ancestor, don’t underestimate my sword!”
“The sword intent of heaven and earth!”
As the Sword God’s voice fell, he suddenly pushed with his right hand and the sword in front of him flew forward while spinning at high speed.
The river of swords behind the Sword God exploded. Countless swords bypassed the Sword God and sped away. Almost instantly, all the sword momentum gathered together and with the spinning sword as the tip, Sword Qi spread out and condensed into a huge sword shadow that separated the sky from the earth as it charged towards Longqi Temple with unstoppable momentum.
Everyone felt as if their chests had been struck as they looked at this scene with their mouths agape.
At the same time!
The Longqi Mountain shook violently, causing the nearby streets and Martial Peak to tremble as well. However, the citizens, disciples of Longqi Temple, and devotees all thought that it was caused by the Sword God’s sword momentum..
