The Xuanjian Kingdom is an island country in the West Sea. Although it is much smaller than the Fuyao Kingdom, which is also an island country, it can still rank second in the world. Like many small countries in the Western Region, there is only one large city in the country, which is also called Hanging Sword City.
Everyone in Hanging Sword City wears a sword, and outside the city every family makes swords in the countryside. In such a country where "swords are the beauty", strong swordsmen are often born. The contemporary Sword King, Chen Erniu, is considered to be the best among all the previous kings of the Hanging Sword Kingdom.
At this time, in Xuanjian City, both men and women wear white clothes and carry swords, because Xuanjian Kingdom regards this as a beauty. People wearing different colors are often people from out of town.
“It’s really a treasure land.” A man wearing a bamboo hat sighed in the crowd.
Although only a trace of stubble is exposed under the hat, the jawline and the sad stubble also reveal a sense of age-old handsomeness.
Next to him, there is a woman in plain white dress, also wearing a hat. But even though he has no face, his temperament alone can make passers-by on the street look sideways.
These two people were none other than the Whale Riding Immortal and Jiang Yuebai.
They walked outside the palace, where two high platforms were being built. They were said to be high platforms, but in fact they were more like two huge white stone pillars. The final height was nearly a hundred feet, reaching into the clouds.
That was the place where Yan Daoren competed with the Xihai Sword Emperor.
Sword cultivators have never used fancy methods to fight for the Tao. The two sides talked with swords without any unnecessary nonsense.
There is only one eighth realm.
Winner, go up.
Loser, come down.
The surrounding people of the Hanging Sword Kingdom were very excited about this. Unlike the previous showdown between the Nine Provinces Sword Master and the Xihai Sword Emperor, that time was just the opening performance of the Immortal Sect Conference, and no matter how serious it was, the intensity was limited.
And this time it is a battle between Tao masters, which is bound to be greater than life and death.
The people of the Hanging Sword Kingdom have not seen their monarch take full action for many years. This time, they hope to witness the monarch's youthful demeanor.
"I am now afraid that Taoist Yan from Shushan is too vulnerable. I hope she is stronger so that we can see more of the monarch's sword skills!" the young people passing by said loudly.
"Hahaha, yes!" The companions immediately agreed, "I'm just afraid she's too weak."
"..."
Yes, this is the current common thought of the people in the Hanging Sword Kingdom.
The Sword Emperor of the West Sea was originally capable of defeating seven realms in eight realms, and he had the absolute upper hand. And Shushan didn't have any artifacts to rely on, so she didn't even have a chance to cheat with the artifacts.
What can we do to cross the chasm between the Seventh Realm and the Eighth Realm?
"Master..." Jiang Yuebai murmured, also implying concern.
"Don't worry." The Whale Riding Immortal smiled heartily, "Yan Zi has always been the most reliable, and she never does anything that she is not sure of. No matter how strong the Sword Emperor of the West Sea is, can he still beat me? Yan Zi has beaten me. People..."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lifted upward.
The bamboo hat was raised slightly, just enough to expose his eyes, and his sword-like sharp gaze penetrated to the attic on one side. After staring for a long time, he turned around with a slight hesitation and left the long street with his daughter.
And in that attic, a noble young man with smooth skin and scaly forehead and a middle-aged man who looked sickly were lying on the ground together, both breathing heavily.
These two people were none other than Yinghuo Ji Lingjue and Yang Buju.
"Who is this?" Ji Lingjue said solemnly: "What an amazing cultivation level."
"It's so easy to be discovered." Yang Buju also had cold sweat on his forehead: "It doesn't look like he is from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect. He may be here to watch the fun."
"You must be careful this time." Ji Lingjue said with lingering fear.
…
"I have two friends in Hanging Sword City. I can let them arrange accommodation first."
Among the group of people, Lin Bei said with a smile.
Tomorrow is the battle between Taoist Yan and the Sword Emperor of the West Sea, but Shushan is some distance away from the sea, and Taoist Yan and the Emperor's daughter Feng will soon arrive with a flash of sword light and a flash of fire. People like Chu Liang and others who came slowly by flying boat at normal speed would have to get up early to get there that day, so it was better to arrive a day in advance.
After arriving, Lin Bei went to find his local friends and arranged a quiet courtyard in a secluded part of the city. The arrangement was really good.
Chu Liang, Shang Ziliang, Xu Ziyang, Lin Bei, Ling Ao... a lot of young people they knew well came here, all waiting to see tomorrow's battle.
By then, the Xihai Sword King will have the home court advantage, and there will definitely be countless people from the Hanging Sword Kingdom cheering him on. Therefore, Shushan disciples will try to come as many as possible, and many of them will stay in inns in the city.
It can only be said that Lin Bei was able to contact many people in the Foreign Affairs Hall. After having the platform of Hongmianfeng, he became more comfortable and his ability to make connections was fully utilized.
Everyone settled down in their residence and were thinking about where to go for dinner today when they suddenly heard a banging sound outside the door.
"Who's knocking on the door?" Lin Bei went over to open the door and saw a group of men in white clothes stepping in with swords on their backs.
The person leading the way was a young man with a good-looking appearance, about less than thirty years old. He had piercing eyes and seemed to have a high level of cultivation.
Chu Liang looked at him a little familiar.
"Everyone from Shushan..." He came to the courtyard and saluted first: "I am here with Chen Kaitai of the Hanging Sword Kingdom."
It turned out to be the crown prince of the Xuanjian Kingdom.
Chu Liang suddenly recalled that during the Immortal Sect Conference, he and the male and female brothers from Tiangang Sect and Nanyinfang plotted against him and eliminated the team from the Hanging Sword Kingdom.
"It turns out to be His Highness the Crown Prince of the Xuanjian Kingdom. Why are you here?" He stood up immediately and asked politely.
"Tomorrow is the day of battle between my father and Senior Taoist Yan. Before that, I also have a request." Chen Kaitai looked at Xu Ziyang and said, "I hope to challenge you."
"Huh?" Xu Ziyang raised his eyes and looked at him, "Why?"
He and Chen Kaitai had nothing to do with each other. He returned home earlier than the team from the Hanging Sword Kingdom.
"When the Xianmen Conference was eliminated by the Shushan team, I will always remember this defeat in my heart. To this day, it has become an obstacle to the sword's heart." Chen Kaitai said frankly, "Originally, I wanted to challenge Young Master Chu. Exorcise the demonic obstacles. Unfortunately, Shaoxia Chu has gone through great difficulties and has not yet reached the sixth realm. If I challenge him at this time, I will inevitably take advantage of others. Besides him, the Shushan disciple who participated in the Immortal Sect Conference was Shaoxia Xu. , that’s why I challenge you.”
He explained his journey.
In fact, this is related to the cultivation experience of the Xihai Sword Emperor. He has been defeated and defeated repeatedly. No matter what opponent he encounters or how many times he loses, he can eventually overcome this obstacle.
Chen Kaitai has always regarded his father as a role model, so he acted in this way. The biggest failure in his life was naturally being eliminated at the Immortal Sect Conference.
Now that he is also at the peak of the sixth realm and exploring the seventh realm, the obstacles in the heart of the sword must be overcome one by one.
It is difficult to challenge Chu Liang now, and Jiang Yuebai is not in Shushan, so Xu Ziyang is the only good choice.
Ling Ao on the side watched this scene silently, blowing on Ye Mo'er who was sitting on the tea in front of him, just pretending that nothing happened.
"If that's the case..." Chu Liang took two steps forward, "I suggest that your highness, the Crown Prince, challenge me first. If you really feel that I am not strong enough, it is not too late to challenge Senior Brother Xu."
"Young Master Chu..." Chen Kaitai seemed to want to say something, but seeing the look in Chu Liang's eyes, he felt that he would not blindly stand up, and then said: "Then please enlighten me."
This challenge came suddenly, but everyone in Shushan looked at ease, drinking tea under the pavilion and watching.
If Xu Ziyang went up to fight, maybe their confidence would not be so strong. But Chu Liang's action gave people an inexplicable sense of confidence for some reason.
"Let's have a discussion and just stop there. Please show mercy to His Highness the Crown Prince." Chu Liang said with a smile.
Then he offered up a simple flying sword and hung it on his chest.
Chen Kaitai looked at the sword and felt that it looked familiar, but he didn't think much about it. Although he had also read the news about Chu Liang's photo of the demon-slaying sword in the Qixing Mansion newspaper, he thought it was bought by Shushan. Who would have thought that this was entirely Chu Liang's private act?
Immediately, he also raised his flying sword.
Focused, sharp and sharp.
His eyes were very much like Chen Erniu's when he was young, and everyone in the Xuanjian Kingdom felt that this prince would be another Xihai Sword King in the future.
Chen Kaitai also asked himself in the same way.
With his true energy circulating, he raised the hand holding the sword high, and his whole aura instantly exploded by hundreds of feet, almost reaching the sky!
Once the sword is in hand, that honest and honest temperament instantly turns into infinite sharpness, boom——
The sword cultivator at the peak of the sixth realm struck out with his sword with all his strength. The sound was so terrifying that the air in the entire courtyard was almost dried up, and everyone including the bystanders felt suffocated.
The mighty Jue Yun Sword Qi seemed to be able to crush the Chu Liang Juan with just a trace.
But he was very calm and hit the sword with a slight wave of his hand.
laugh--
A blazing sword energy suddenly shot out.
Cut off the void with one sword.
With Chu Liang's current level of Qi cultivation, the power of this sword may be far less than that of Chen Kaitai. But for some reason, the sword swayed out as if it was blessed with some kind of divine power. It instantly cut the Dueyun Sword Qi on the opposite side into two pieces and cut it open from the middle!
Chen Kaitai's expression changed, and he immediately moved his sword to block it, but the sword was so powerful that he was thrown more than ten feet away and hit a high wall.
There was a bang.
And his Jueyun Sword Qi, which was greatly reduced in power after it broke off and escaped, also passed by Chu Liang's shoulders. Chu Liang did not block it and allowed the sword Qi to hit him.
Bang bang!
He didn't move a muscle, not even a single hair was broken, and the power of the sword energy was just neutralized. Nowadays, with his physical strength, even if he is hit by the complete sword energy, it may not cause much damage, let alone the remaining part.
Chu Liang put away his sword with satisfaction. He accepted the challenge this time because he wanted to test the power of the demon-slaying sword to hit people. It was said that the Demon-Slaying Sword was powerful against monsters and weak at the hands of others, so he wanted to see how weak it could be.
Now it seems that it is only slightly weaker than the powerful blessing of Demon Slayer, but it still has the power of the forefront of Wanbaolu. Twenty before slaying demons and forty before slaying people may be a more fair description.
Chen Kaitai, who was stunned for a moment and then woke up, suddenly remembered the sword he had just seen. Chu Liang shouted to be merciful, but what he took out was...
"Demon Slayer Sword!"
Good morning.
