The Dispute Between Civil and Military The Dao is vast and boundless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realm of a Grandmaster, in layman’s terms, is the comprehension of the laws of all things between heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, it is grasping the threshold of the Unity of Heaven and Man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one’s life, it is inevitable that some will contemplate why they are alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generations thereafter refine and organize these thoughts, passing them down through the ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝονǤ0.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a sequence in learning the Dao, and specialization in technical skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prove the Dao through martial arts is the easiest and has the lowest threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This knowledge is also the most widely spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Scholar’s Way is niche, it can still be a unique approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contention over the great Dao has always been difficult to determine in terms of superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ultimately, it’s nothing more than a label defined by the strong in this world to distinguish themselves from ordinary people and to flaunt their status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is a Grandmaster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grandmaster is also human, Grandmasters will die too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they are merely corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Terry Moore often inadvertently looks at his Rolex on his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The title “Grandmaster” is merely a term created by martial artists to satisfy their own vanity and sense of superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grandmaster Leaderboard was thus born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every person who steps into the threshold of the Grandmaster realm longs for verification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all aspire to ascend to the heaven’s list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Windy Johnson and Rogan Harsh, one is a renowned figure on the Grandmaster Leaderboard, the other, a dead man removed from the leaderboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Rogan Harsh to reclaim his glory, the best way is to slay a Grandmaster on the leaderboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To forcefully declare, the King returns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a not-so-spacious private room, only Windy Johnson remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He holds a Soft Sword in his left hand while the fresh blood from the wound on his right arm slowly drips down to his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are very strong,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he said indifferently to the vanished Rogan Harsh, “but I am not weak either!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Windy Johnson flicked his left hand into the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soft Sword slashed through the air, emitting a sharp, cleaving sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lines of silver light turned into characters, suspending in mid-air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scholar’s Way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having immersed in the world’s poetry and books, he harbored a great Dao in his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who says, scholars are utterly useless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One literary, one martial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s contention over the Dao is a competition between the literary and the martial!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rogan Harsh emerged from the void, with a powerful surge of air, wielding his Longsword in a slashing motion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Marsh’s Three Ultimate Moves, the most powerful, the life-seizing third strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first sword, building momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second sword, penetrating the flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third sword, seizing life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the imposing third sword, Windy Johnson swung his hand fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the silver light intensified!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Qi lines suspended in the air miraculously transformed into characters from the classic poetry and fiercely struck down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rogan Harsh stumbled back several steps, his Longsword flailing wildly in the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bursts of sparks continued to appear, yet his robe was already tattered from the impact of the Sword Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the corner of his mouth, a trickle of fresh blood seeped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And five meters away from him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Windy Johnson’s right arm hung completely limp, with blood continuously flowing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rogan Harsh was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial arts are extremely pure, killing by sheer force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sword strike just now, very few in the world could have dodged it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since I’m not dead, then the one who might die next could be you,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>said Windy Johnson fiercely as he pounded his chest several times, his expression one of intense pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his chest, his clothes were already in tatters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rogan Harsh exclaimed in shock, “My sword pierced through your chest, you can’t possibly still be alive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a Grandmaster’s battle, victory or defeat often hinges on a single move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever exposes a weakness first is doomed to utter defeat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Windy Johnson is strong, but Rogan Harsh is stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he had chosen this method earlier, to withstand Windy Johnson’s Sword Qi and strike down with one sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why, then, is his opponent not dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In today’s contest of the literary and the martial, you have lost,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>said Windy Johnson as he squinted his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room filled with a dense killing intent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trails of cold light flashed through the private room!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless Sword Qi characters, formed by Sword Qi, floated in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scholar’s Way, requires me, the scholar, to slay you, the warrior!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one step,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Windy Johnson raised his head, the myriad of characters in the air grew even more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant silver light exploded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characters in the air, seemingly sentient, trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Windy Johnson fiercely thrust forward, and the Soft Sword began to circle incessantly in the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soft Sword suddenly calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hung in the air, motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Windy Johnson took the fifth step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-glowing characters in the air began to madly swirl around the Soft Sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Windy Johnson fiercely opened his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those characters, in an instant, collided with the Soft Sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade, a brilliant silver light exploded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Four Books and Five Classics transformed into characters, continuously flowing over the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The battlefield in autumn, time to tally the soldiers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Windy Johnson bellowed, and the silver sword, like lightning, landed in his hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sword slashed down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast array of characters, like the Celestial River, surged forth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rogan Harsh swung his sword to block!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls of the bar were directly blasted open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark figure flew backwards, rolling swiftly on the ground, then disappeared from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soft Sword in Windy Johnson’s hand fell to the ground, and he was utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the retreating figure of Rogan Harsh, trembling as he pulled a frayed book from his chest pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely this book, shielded at his chest, that had allowed him to survive Rogan Harsh’s sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his heart would have been pierced long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have been reduced to a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After steadying his breath a bit, Windy Johnson smashed a glass window with a punch and leapt out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azure Wind prevail?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from The North Sea, having run out of the bar, fled frantically along the highway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already terrified, they had no time to stop and make a phone call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azure Wind is a grandmaster, he should be alright,” someone said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhausted and panting, they dared not stop to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exposed positions indicated either betrayal or the presence of a spy within the North Sea faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either scenario was a major issue for The North Sea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before infiltrating Gonzalez City, they had spent a long time preparing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even The North Sea Princess, Baylor Davenport, personally came here to clear up many small details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the complex strengths within Gonzalez City, the people from The North Sea had quietly blended in without catching anyone’s notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once exposed, they had to report to Elders Victor to re-deploy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been half a day since we got out, we should call Elders Victor first,” one of them said as he took out a phone, ready to call the young master and through him, contact Elders Victor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest took advantage of the moment to crouch down and rest a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sprinting for several kilometers, they were very tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whizz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound of a dart launcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man from The North Sea who was making a call fell down at the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone also fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining men stood up alert, looking all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Telling you who I am, do you think that will let you live?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a hundred meters away, a man dressed in black pulled the trigger of a dart launcher, mumbling to himself from behind the trunk of a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in black, wearing a black felt hat, and black leather gloves holding the dart launcher, he blended perfectly with the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whizz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second noise from the dart launcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another man fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man pulled the launcher’s trigger a third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those from The North Sea who reacted, started to scatter and run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stayed on the wide street, with no buildings around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they spread out, they stood a better chance of surviving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in black inhaled deeply from a cigarette, then flicked the butt away, pulling a red remote control from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed the button.\u003C\u002Fp>",1508,"2026-06-06T17:05:08.258Z",1,"novelbin.me","53c5acf0cbd8878aa82d03c7093b108432354a0fb8ca06c95339404dc2abd5fd","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-998","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-996",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
