This sword strike had entirely exceeded expectations.
It was terrifying.
Without a second thought, he unleashed the strongest strike of his sword.
“Extinguishing Immortal, God-Extinguishing Strike!”
He had completely unleashed this sword strike.
Using space as a framework, the Ultimate Point as an edge, containing the mysteries of life and death’s cycle, the Dao of Yin and Yang’s circulation, supported by the world, and drawing power from the blood qi as vast as rivers and seas and guided by the soul’s strength.
With the fusion of the soul, blood qi, and body, countless realms of comprehension came together, giving this sword unrivaled sharpness.
This sword was also powerful to the extreme.
Amidst the dazzling sword light, it could slay gods and destroy immortals, but still could not block the Seven Night Holy Monarch’s strike. He was completely knocked away and flew backward onto the mountain peak.
The erupting sword qi tore the mountain top, and rocks rolled down.
Yan Chixia and the others were forced to retreat to the edge of the mountain, nearly falling off.
Their faces were full of shock.
Whether it was the Seven Night Holy Monarch’s strike or Jiang Ming blocking it, both had far surpassed their understanding.
Whoosh…
At this moment, Jiang Ming flew back and returned to where he had been standing.
He was not injured.
“What a terrifying sword!” Jiang Ming exclaimed. “It actually fused the Heavenly and Earthly forces it wielded into one sword, with an ultimate edge capable of breaking all shackles. The Sword Drawing Skill of Heaven Slaying, what a fitting name!”
He kept marveling.
“Yet you were still able to block it!” The Seven Night Holy Monarch’s brows furrowed even more. “My sword, although not my strongest strike, could overlook the Nine States of the world with few comparables. Even against those of the same realm, I am confident of causing grave damage. But unexpectedly, you managed to block it.”
“Every generation has its talents, and the new replaces the old. Seeing you makes me feel old.” He marveled even more. “Brother Jiang, when we meet again, let’s discuss swordsmanship again. Farewell!”
As his words fell, he mounted his white horse and stepped into the void, leaving directly.
He left with elegance and refreshing decisiveness.
“A world of semblance and illusion, the Seven Night Holy Monarch is a good person. Will he fall to evil in the end?” Jiang Ming thought, then looked at Yan Chixia and couldn’t help asking, “Brother Yan, do you know a person named Sima Sanniang?”
“Sima Sanniang?” Yan Chixia, who walked over, thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, ”1 don’t know.”
“What about Yan Hongye?”
“I don’t know!
With each question and answer, Jiang Ming’s expression became even stranger.
There was the Seven Night Holy Monarch, yet there was no Yan Hongye, who should have been the daughter of Yan Chixia.
Forget it.
After all, this was a chaotic world.
Who knows what kind of chaos was present in this place?
Yan Chixia was puzzled but did not ask further, only laughing and saying, “If it weren’t for you, the few of us today might have met our end here, thank you!”
“Brother Jianchen, Miss Ye, thank you!”
He clasped his fists toward the other two.
“We are human, and the demons are monsters. When we see them, of course, we must take action. It’s nothing!” Jiang Ming threw the Xuanyuan Sword over.
This sword was renowned, but besides being sturdy, there were not many unique features, far from the divine Xuanyuan Sword in the legends.
“Brother Jiang is right. When we encounter them, we can’t just watch.” Jianchen was full of righteousness, upright and confident.
However, Jiang Ming knew that this guy lacked tribulation and had poor stability.
But his nature was still quite good.
“Eliminating demons and expelling evil spirits is just our duty!” Ye Hongyu said, staring at Jiang Ming, “I don’t know where Brother Jiang is heading next?”
“I’ll go wherever the wind takes me.” Jiang Ming replied, “How did you all end up here?”
“I’ve been competing with the Tree Demon Granny for a long time. This time I came to try and kill it again, but I didn’t expect there to be so many incidents.” Yan Chixia sighed, then cheered up and said, “Fortunately, you all appeared, not only killing the Tree Demon Granny but also ending the Black Mountain Old Demon. From now on, the Great Song has one less evil to worry about.”
“I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I traveled the world, seeking a chance to break through. After arriving in the Great Song, I discovered that there were many demons here and have been lurking around this area. Today, when I met Jianchen, we decided to join forces and came to this place when we discovered fighting going on.” Ye Hongyu explained simply, “It’s so fortunate that we came here, otherwise where would we have encountered Brother Jiang, and where else would we have seen such an exciting sword contest? Brother Jiang’s swordsmanship is on par with the Seven Night Holy Monarch, meaning it definitely isn’t weaker than Second Senior Brother Jun Mo and Sword Master Liu Bai from the Academy. It’s also on par with the Nameless Martial Arts Legend and the Old Swordsman from the State of Great Wu.”
“I still have a long way to go!” Jiang Ming shook his head.
“If your cultivation was equal to theirs…” Ye Hongyu could not help but gasp as she spoke.
“If it were equal to them, then it would be defying the heavens!” Yan Chixia exclaimed as well.
“I am also traveling to polish my cultivation.” Jianchen, who was actually the most shocked, added, “My master realized the Heavenly Sword Intent, and with one sword, countless swords followed. I originally thought that only he, the old man, would know such a thing. I never thought that Brother Jiang would be so talented and have such a heaven-defying swordsmanship. If my master saw this, he would definitely be overjoyed.”
His master was a martial arts legend, unrivaled in the world with his swordsmanship.
Once, when he assessed the swordsmen of the world, only a few could compare with him: Dugu Qiubai from the Great Song Dynasty, Seven Night Holy Monarch; Jun Mo of the Academy and Sword master Liu Bai from the Great Tang Dynasty, Ye Su was slightly inferior.
The old Sword God from the Great Li, as well as Wang Xianzhi.
The old Sword Master of the State of Great Wu, Martial Arts Legend Nameless.
Wine Sword Immortal from the State of Great Wilderness.
And so on.
Really not many.
Now another one appeared, and he was so young.
He looked a few years younger than himself.
Despite believing the opponent was not his master’s match.
While speaking, they had already returned to Lanruo Temple.
Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian were still trembling with fear.
The battle in the north almost scared them to death.
Too terrifying.
Sword Qi soared into the sky, and the night sky was even split apart, utterly horrifying.
Seeing Jiang Ming and the others return, Ning Caichen was overjoyed: “It’s great that you’re back!”
“You foolish scholar, wandering alone in the desolate mountains and ridges, it’s incredible that you’re still alive, I must say you’re lucky!” Yan Chixia looked at him and shook her head involuntarily.
“The child doesn’t talk about strange powers and chaos…” Ning Caichen’s voice became smaller and smaller.
“The girl next to you is a ghost, what are you planning to do?” Jiang Ming laughed.
Ye Hongyu also looked curious.
Ning Caichen opened his mouth and scratched his head.
Nie Xiaoqian walked cautiously to the front of the crowd and bowed, “The little girl was originally the daughter of an official, but she was killed by mountain bandits. I don’t know why I became a wandering ghost, and later I was captured by Tree Demon Granny and became her servant. The little girl swears that she has never actively done evil.”
Not actively?
Then it’s passive.
Jiang Ming and the others naturally heard it and didn’t care.
“What do you plan to do in the future?” Jiang Ming looked at Nie Xiaoqian.
“I don’t know!” Nie Xiaoqian showed a puzzled look.
“How about, how about, I, I…” Ning Caichen hesitated, tangled, hesitant, and also a little uneasy.
“Since you want to, then just follow him. In the future, accompany him to attract fragrant sleeves and gain fame.” Jiang Ming showed a smile and thought, “It’s fate to meet each other. I’ll seal your ghost body so that you can walk in the daytime and not be noticed by others. But remember, don’t cause trouble!”
After a little consideration, the power of Life and Death flowed, revealing the Dao Resonance of Light and Darkness.
With a flick of his finger, it was the Great Luo Realm of Light and Darkness, which also merged with the power of Life and Death, forming a seal on Nie Xiaoqian’s body.
It actually succeeded!
Not bad, not bad!
Jiang Ming was very satisfied.
Nie Xiaoqian’s body suddenly solidified.
“Thank you, benefactor!” Nie Xiaoqian felt the change in her body and couldn’t help but be overjoyed, “From now on, the little girl will definitely protect Young Master Ning.”
“I hope, Young Master Ning doesn’t mind!” She looked at Ning Caichen, somewhat shyly.
“Don’t mind, don’t mind!” Ning Caichen hurriedly said.
Jiang Ming and the other three laughed.
They lit a bonfire and sat around it.
They casually hunted a wild deer, and Ning Caichen was busy roasting it.
“I just came out of the big mountain, and I know very little about the outside world. Miss Ye, I heard that you have a great background. Can you tell me about the current situation in the world?” Jiang Ming asked.
Just came out of the big mountain?
Even Jianchen didn’t believe this sentence.
Not to mention Yan Chixia and Ye Hongyu.
But no one said it, and they all wondered where he came from. Was he really not exposed to the world before, or did he come from overseas?
It remains unknown.
“Today’s world, how to put it?” Ye Hongyu pondered, “Since the great change of heaven and earth a hundred years ago, when the Nine States converged, it foreshadowed that there will inevitably be a great chaos sweeping the whole world..”
