Chapter 655

Time passed.

One month later.

Da Qin, Tianyan Prefecture.

Within a certain city.

On the streets, voices surged like a tide, densely packed with crowds!

Not only on the streets, but also on the rooftops and terraces of surrounding homes and taverns, people stood shoulder to shoulder.

They were all no ordinary mortals, but cultivators from the five lakes and four seas, from every major prefecture!

Now, all of them raised their heads, fixing their gazes on a single point!

Not far ahead stood a magnificent nine-story pavilion!

This pavilion was named "Yue Long Lou."

Built three thousand years ago, it had once drawn countless cultivators to behold it, and was one of the Four Famous Pavilions of Da Qin!

But now, the situation was different.

For the crowds gathered here were not here to see Yue Long Lou.

They were here for the two swordsmen atop the pavilion!

In their line of sight,

On the left summit of Yue Long Lou stood a slender young man clad in black, his face cold and stern.

On the right stood a radiant young woman dressed in a white martial suit, her hair tied into a ponytail at the nape of her neck!

The girl exuded a bold, martial aura, her right hand resting on her waist, fingers gripping the hilt of her sword.

Utmost sharpness coalesced here, emitting a crisp, resonant hum!

This sight stirred deep curiosity: once they drew their blades, what kind of astonishing, earth-shattering sword strike would unfold?!

As the two faced off,

Their sword intent stirred, spreading through heaven and earth, intertwining and twisting, stirring wind and clouds, filling countless onlookers with a fierce, deadly chill!

All opened their eyes wide, slowed their breathing, and dared not blink!

They feared missing the next breathtaking moment!

For them, this wait was undeniably agonizing and endless!

"A battle between two Sword Marquises—how monumental! I never imagined I'd be lucky enough to witness this!"

"Hahaha! The name Bai Hong Sword Marquis echoes throughout Da Qin! I've heard of it for years—now that I see him, he truly is extraordinary! Such grace—he seems no mortal, but a celestial immortal!"

"Indeed! Even if a female sword immortal descended from heaven, her splendor could scarcely surpass this! This scene has truly opened our eyes!"
