Chapter 203: One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate: Sword Twenty-Three

At the top of Wudi City!

The two peerless experts of the current age look at each other; after nearly sixty years, have Wang Xianzhi and Li Chungang finally met again?

One is the former Sword God!

One is the current Martial Emperor!

Before it has even begun, the momentum of the two peerless experts is already poised to strike, causing successive phenomena, with winds rising and clouds surging.

Below Wudi City, countless Martial Artists look toward the sky, all of them wearing expressions of pilgrimage on their faces.

Is this the demeanor of the number one and number two in the world today?

"If we were to unleash our full strength, I fear this Wudi City of yours would also be destroyed; let us change locations," Li Chungang says.

"Very well," Wang Xianzhi says.

Immediately, the two step into the void, flying away from the city top like Immortals to above the East Sea.

Both stand suspended in the air, relying on nothing else.

The Martial Artists of Wudi City run one after another to the edge of the East Sea to watch from across the water.

Chat Group.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Everyone, take a guess: will Old Li win this round or Old Wang? I bet on Old Li."

Demon Queen: "Nonsense, Li Chungang is at least a member from the first batch to join the group; has he been mixing for so long for nothing? He will definitely win."

Kyushu Number One Golden Core: "Exactly! But although the outcome is already fated, the process is still very much worth looking forward to."

Jiao Wo Bai Laoban: "Watching the duel between Martial Artists of other worlds might be of great benefit to my practice of Human Immortal Martial Dao."

Peach Blossom Island Little Fairy: "Anyway, I'm going to steal their techniques!"

Bad Commander: "Cheer for Old Li!"

Yin-Yang School Number One Extraordinary Woman: "For a Martial Artist to reach Li Chungang's level is rare indeed. Although I am already in the Heavenly Human Realm in my own world, which can be called the pinnacle of the current age, I feel that I am still far behind the level of Li Chungang."

Yan Fei cannot help but sigh; a Martial Artist like Li Chungang can be considered transcendent, with every move containing the opportunity of the power of Heaven and Earth.

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Li Chungang's world has the concept of Qi Luck and focuses on one's state of mind. Once the state of mind is broken, one might instantly turn from a peak to dust! Moreover, within the scope of Wudi City, Wang Xianzhi has the blessing of the Qi Luck of all the world's Martial Artists."

Immortal King Anlan: "If this world were to ascend in dimension, it might turn into a great world where Martial Dao flourishes."

Diviner: "That is impossible. Li Chungang's world has an Immortal World, but it is not actually a true Immortal World; it is the world where Martial Artists go after ascending. Immortals covet the Qi Luck of Renjian and use it to cultivate. Qi Luck is constant; if Immortals extract it without limit, then Renjian will slowly wither and decline step by step. In a sense, Renjian is the back garden of the Immortals, but because of the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, they cannot come down. The Immortal World will not sit idly by and watch the Martial Artists of the mortal world flourish, so every few decades or centuries, they cultivate spokespeople to plot and seize Qi Luck."

The two are inherently opposed, but there is no lack of Martial Artists who desire longevity and are single-mindedly focused on entering the Heavenly Gate.

This Wang Xianzhi is the one guarding the Heavenly Gate to prevent Martial Artists from ascending, because the ascension of Martial Artists would take away the Qi Luck of Renjian. With a Martial Artist of Wang Xianzhi's level guarding it, Immortals who come down would also be suppressed."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Listening to the Group Owner's words is like listening to words?"

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "The Group Owner is right; there are rules in the Heavens, and there are rules in Renjian. No one should interfere with anyone else. From now on, it won't just be Wang Laoguai guarding the Heavenly Gate; I will guard it too. If these Immortals from the Heavens dare to come down, I will send them to the afterlife with one sword."

Kyushu Number One Golden Core: "Old Li, why are you spamming the group? Hurry up and go duel."

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "I can multitask!"

As he speaks, Li Chungang flicks his finger, and ten thousand Sword Qi cover the sky and earth, turning into a river of swords as it rushes forward!

"Good Sword Intent!"

"It seems you, Li Chungang, have recovered to your peak, and are even better than before!"

Wang Xianzhi's pupils flash with brilliance; he clenches his palm, and his Martial Dao will covers the East Sea. One sees the sea surface surging, and water spouts rise one after another, connecting Heaven and Earth to unleash monstrous waves.

These water spouts contain the power of thunder and lightning; ordinary Martial Artists dare not approach, and they directly devour Li Chungang's Sword Qi.

Furthermore, they split into eight, and the eight water spouts surround Li Chungang from all directions!

"Hahaha, what a power of Celestial Phenomenon!"

"The sword rises over mountains and rivers for ten thousand miles; this sword pays tribute to the vastness of the Heavens, and with my will, I use this sword to break all laws of the Nine Provinces!"

Li Chungang laughs out loud, and one sees a beam of sword light spanning between Heaven and Earth!

That Sword Qi is extremely free and easy, as if it were a stroke of divine inspiration, unconstrained and unconventional!

In an instant, the eight water spouts are annihilated completely.

"Good sword!"

"Rise, East Sea!"

Wang Xianzhi exclaims in admiration, waving his large hand, and his Martial Dao will erupts. The East Sea surges again, and the sea surface rises a hundred zhang high, turning into a wave that devours everything.

"Slash!"

Li Chungang slashes down with one sword, and the astonishing Sword Intent actually splits the East Sea in two.

Facing this Sword Intent, Wang Xianzhi cannot help but retreat a hundred zhang, not meeting it head-on.

In the Chat Group, Huang Rong, the Bad Commander, Yan Fei, and Bai Yuekui, as Martial Artists, fall silent.

Is this really a fight between Martial Artists?

Dare you believe that a Martial Artist can actually control the boundless sea and even control the surging waves to a height of a hundred zhang?

Chat Group.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Damn, this is Old Li's peak; why do I feel like I might not be able to beat him?"

Kyushu Number One Golden Core: "Be more confident, remove the 'feel like'."

Immortal King Anlan: "Although the potential of Li Chungang's world is not as high as yours, Ye Laoliu, this battle's artistic conception is truly not bad."

Diviner: "He is, after all, a Land Sword Immortal, and you have only just started; why do you think you can defeat someone at their peak just because you've started? Isn't that a bit disrespectful?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "How so? Ye is very humble, okay!"

Girl Ruthless: "..."

Yunlan Sect Sect Master: "With this kind of formation, even if a Dou Di came, they would have to leave something behind."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Different systems, nothing to compare. Besides, this is not Li Chungang's limit."

As they speak, the duel between Li Chungang and Wang Xianzhi has already ended!

"Wang Xianzhi, if this is all the means you have, then I am disappointed!" Li Chungang said.

"Hehe, that was just a warm-up!" Wang Xianzhi laughed.

Immediately, he unleashed the martial art that represents the culmination of his Martial Dao: the Martial Emperor Fist!

Since the beginning of his path as a Martial Artist, Wang Xianzhi believed that a pair of Iron Fist in his hands was enough to crush all opponents and enemies.

Relying on external objects is ultimately hollow; only one's own strength is truly real!

Boom!

Wang Xianzhi threw a punch, closing in on Li Chungang?

The momentum of the fist was like a Dragon, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, and even more like a storm destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

It made people look askance, not daring to take it head-on!

If it were a Land Immortal of the same level, they would likely be insta-killed by Wang Xianzhi in one move.

"Peak Land Celestial!"

Li Chungang saw through Wang Laoguai's realm; it could be said to be the ceiling.

"No panic, watch my One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!"

Li Chungang controlled the sword with his heart, and the Sword Qi surging around his body was like a Dragon's bone, resisting it!

At the same time, a Divine Sword imbued with the will of the Martial Dao descended from the firmament!

This sword was bathed in the thunder and fire of heaven and earth, its essence of sun and moon making it indestructible and capable of piercing anything!

But it was different from the previous Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!

"Sword Twenty-Three of the One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!"

As the words fell, a power similar to a spatial storm swept across the East Sea, covering Wang Xianzhi's supreme fist intent.

At this moment, the towering sea waves stopped, all things stagnated, and only the Sword Qi flowed endlessly!

"This..."

Within this special Domain, everything fell into a state of prohibition!

Wang Xianzhi was no exception; his Flesh was controlled and unable to move, as if bound by invisible shackles.

Li Chungang walked over step by step on his sword and extended a finger to tap the center of Wang Xianzhi's brow!

The next second, the spatial imprisonment ended, and a look of shock appeared in Wang Xianzhi's pupils as he asked:

"What sword technique is this?"
