Chapter 416

~14 min read 2,775 words

For the people on the platform, this match wasn't worth being fully focused on.

Everyone already knew how strong Chi Chi Longyun was. If he accepted the letter, he would definitely be in the top fifteen. Now that he had voluntarily rejected the letter, he must be in the top ten.

Everyone wanted to see the quality of this next-generation face of the Pearl Mingzhu Shuixie. Unfortunately, if Chi Chi Longyun wanted to fight beautifully, it would be best to end this match within three moves.

Cui Zide watched for two glances and tilted his head: "Where is Yan Yan Bingjian? He disappeared early and didn't come to watch his junior brother's match."

Xiang Zhang Zongyuan drank tea: "Brothel."

Above the Sword Terrace, the figure in green had already collided like a long line. The crowd gasped, but Chi Chi Longyun was still lowering his eyes and drawing his sword, neither fast nor slow, but a feeling of heart-palpitating fear suddenly rose from the platform.

Sure enough, the first sword was 【Piyang】.

The absolute transmission of the Songwen lineage, the sword with the highest killing power in the Five Sword Blessed Land, with only three moves in total.

Song Song Zhishu suddenly turned his head and asked: "Eh, I saw in the National Report that 'Watch the Pearl shine on the falling flowers,' does it mean that these two families are the strongest? How can you tell?"

On the entire Crane-Perching Terrace, the wind blew through the sparse curtains.

Drinking tea, setting down cups, reading books... everyone's movements paused for a moment.

There were some things that everyone knew existed, so there was no need to say them, but they would sooner or later be uncovered from the sharpest places.

Qi Qi Mengchen drank tea and flipped the book to the next page, saying nothing.

Luoying Mountain, Yushan Mountain, Five Sword Blessed Land, Pearl Mingzhu Shuixie. These were the four families ranked at the very top of this Sword Selection Meeting.

For a sect like the Feiyan Jianmen, being able to have two people enter the Golden Register meant surpassing several sword gates in the north and south of Shaolong, but for these four families, their opponents were only each other.

In the situation where Great Kongdong was silent and hidden, who stood at the very front? This was no longer a back-and-forth of reputation, strength, foundation, etc. Now, a clearest standard was placed in front of them, and one ranking could not have two names.

Each family had sent their most outstanding young people. Who occupied how many seats in the top ten, who was ranked in front of whom, and who would finally settle in the top three.

After all, when the Golden Register was announced, the people of Shaolong wouldn't bother to analyze the twists and turns, and the most intuitive impression would be—First!

First is first.

This was the most core contradiction that must be fought with true swords.

And the mention in the National Report was out of balance with everyone's impression.

Luoying Mountain was naturally vaguely above the other three families, but further down, it was the flourishing Yushan Mountain and the old and strong Five Sword Blessed Land.

The Pearl Mingzhu Shuixie was low-key, but in those sword meetings where they occasionally appeared, they hadn't shown amazing dominance.

People wouldn't say that 【Pearl Guardian】 Qi Qi Mengchen or 【Silent Sword】 Zuo Sheng must be in the top five. Their number three figure was still fighting in the West Arena, and there was no news of winning the championship so far.

Everyone knew it like the back of their hand. This kind of superiority wouldn't be placed nakedly in front of them, but when you wanted to break this order and move up, an invisible repulsive force would immediately press down together.

Nan Nan Guannu and Qi Qi Mengchen talked and laughed freely, but Qi Qi Mengchen was the 【Pearl Guardian】 of this generation of the Mingzhu Shuixie, which was the position that should be respectfully called "Young Sect Master," while Nan Nan Guannu was only a true transmission of one lineage.

Xiang Zhang Zongyuan only signaled with his eyes, without even a greeting.

Because you are just a head lower.

Where does "Pearl shine on falling flowers" come from?

Qu Ying didn't move, Bai Fei raised his hand slightly, seeming to want to stop the person asking the question beside him. And Cui Zide leaned on his sword by the railing, without even turning his head.

He was naturally too lazy to speak here.

No one spoke. Nan Nan Guannu tilted her head to look at Song Song Zhishu: "Why don't you go and ask the Imperial College."

Song Song Zhishu said sadly: "That will be the Yulin Trial next year."

Xiang Zhang Zongyuan raised his cup slightly, but lowered his head and looked at no one: "Zuo Sheng, Yan Yan Bingjian, Cui Zide are all phoenixes among people. Tomorrow at the Jade Sword Terrace, Zhang Zongyuan will definitely ask for a sword from the three of you."

He swept over everyone for the first time, landed slightly on Song Song Zhishu, and said coldly: "Which is light and which is weak, it's just a sword duel. If you have any doubts, use your sword to ask."

But these words didn't seem to be directed at him alone, because everyone present had a sword that was good enough.

Above the Sword Terrace, the killing intent had suddenly erupted.

They could definitely greet and talk on the Crane-Perching Terrace, but once they drew their swords, they revealed their sharpest edges without any cover. This sword didn't hesitate to cripple the young man in front of him.

【Piyang】 Part 1, 【Heli】.

Seeing Pei Ye's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward subconsciously.

This sword of decisive killing intent was neither the Great Kongdong 【Guanri】 nor 【Bari Zhaoyu】, but was almost similar to the 【Commoner Sword】.

Even if they were both in the Eighth Life Realm, most people would still be unable to catch their breath in front of this sword.

Ten thousand people below the platform lost their voices. Just now they shouted "Blue Sky Hangs a Rainbow" wave after wave, but now the first sword had already completely exceeded the peak of the previous match. In front of the killing intent that condensed half the platform, the graceful green shadow pulled by the boy suddenly looked like a fragile little swallow.

And it was unavoidable.

Seeing Pei Ye smiled and looked at the young girl beside him in admiration, but Qu Xin looked at the platform indifferently and said: "The green clothes are very powerful."

". Hmm?"

Before Seeing Pei Ye could react, he heard a spirited voice spread across the entire field—"The one who defeated Chi Chi Longyun today is Su Su Xingke of the Mingzhu Shuixie!"

Above the Sword Terrace, a graceful and bright sword light rose.

The heavy sea of killing intent suddenly froze. The green clothes were like a point of water, sweeping past countless sharp blades pointing at his throat. Metal clashed softly, and the sword tip had already pointed at the dark sword body of Chi Chi Longyun.

Like taking a head from ten thousand armies, it was truly like taking something from a bag. The thick killing intent that shocked ten thousand people suddenly dissipated like sand.

【Into the Abyss Register】 · 【Dragon Chin Picks the Pearl】

Seeing Pei Ye was surprised and hummed, watching unblinkingly. And outside the pavilion, everyone had stopped what they were doing.

The sea of killing intent was broken by one sword. Su Su Xingke's sword light turned, and he floated toward Chi Chi Longyun's throat.

【Three Month Sword】 · 【Wind Floating Catkins】

Ten thousand people gasped. Many didn't recognize this sword, but anyone who practiced swords could see how incredible the connection between these two moves was. If the first sword was the stunning nature of the sword move itself, then this exquisite change was the difficult-to-hide flow of the boy's sword talent.

Chi Chi Longyun was forced into a desperate situation in one round. His pupils had shrunk tightly, but there was no panic in them, but instead, a joyful brilliance—wasn't this the strong opponent he wanted?

He didn't turn his sword. With one grip, the domineering True Qi re-washed and penetrated the sword body. The sword momentum that had just been accurately broken condensed again in an instant. He leaned back and put himself in an absolute disadvantage.

And at the same time, those broken killing intents turned into fine streams and poured into the sword. They had just been domineering and pressing, but now they disappeared without any stagnation. Only that decisive killing intent actually went up another level.

The two swords were extremely dangerous, their robes fluttering. Su Su Xingke was above, and Chi Chi Longyun was below. With one defeat, he had been forced into a desperate situation.

This sword was named 【Zhuanzhu】.

Famous sword hiding the fish, the sword of stabbing upward. The thin, sharp, and bright sword light seemed to jump out from nothingness, pouring out the violent killing intent just collected from an angle no one expected.

Because he was in a desperate situation, he couldn't have used his sword like this; because he was in a desperate situation, he could get the angle to strike this sword.

"Zhuanzhu split the fish, and thus used a dagger to stab King Liao. King Liao died immediately, and the attendants also killed Zhuanzhu."

It was a sword without life, so why threaten it with a desperate situation?

Su Su Xingke's sword would still cut his throat, but this sword of his would cut off the opponent's head faster.

The situation was reversed immediately, and so was the victory or defeat.

Su Su Xingke sheathed his sword immediately, but 【Zhuanzhu】 had no retreat and still forced his throat. But sheathing the sword halfway finally bought Su Su Xingke some space to turn around, so his sword momentum tilted and suddenly turned into an ethereal shadow.

A strange sword, stabbing to the side, his whole person became elusive. 【Zhuanzhu】 passed through him, bringing up a miserable blood light, but it had deviated four inches from his throat and only landed on his shoulder blade.

This stunning response to avoid the killing move caused the crowd to gasp again, but while one sword fell into a disadvantage, Chi Chi Longyun's next sword had already arrived.

Thus, countless shouts were cut off in mid-air. On the Crane-Perching Terrace, several people stood up with focused eyes.

Everyone knew why Chi Chi Longyun rejected the letter.

This was indeed a breakthrough like a qualitative change. It wasn't the top fifteen, nor just the top ten. Relying on this sword, he would definitely be able to fight for a top-five position.

A true sword of intent.

Among the Five Sword Blessed Land, the highest achievement of the Songwen, or rather, the Yuchang lineage, condensed by the killing intent that defied all the great principles of the world—【Piyang】 Part 3, 【Candle Star Attacks the Moon】.

Su Su Xingke was too late to stop this sword. The suffocating and thick killing intent wrapped him completely in an instant, and immediately invaded his body coldly.

In his field of vision, there were only the terrifying eyes of the man in front of him. It didn't occupy the whole world, but as soon as he saw it, the fear born in the bottom of his heart pushed away everything else.

Ouyezi cast Yuchang and asked Xue Zhu to evaluate the sword, saying: "It goes against reason and is not compliant, it cannot be worn. I use it to kill the monarch, and the son uses it to kill the father."

It was this sword.

The true shock was that even the gasps disappeared. Countless people watched the Sword Terrace unblinkingly. The blood flower was pulled out from the boy's shoulder in green, and his whole posture flew crookedly in the air. And the man in front of him was like an assassin climbing the bright hall with a weapon.

He didn't cover his face, and the weapon had already been drawn. This was the most decisive act. He must kill something, and then either die, or win everything.

Even among the swords of intent, this was a sword worthy of being called excellent.

Seeing Pei Ye clapped his hands and opened his mouth in admiration. This was by no means something half-understood like Shang Shang Huaitong's. Chi Chi Longyun completed it so completely. The top sword talent of Shaolong was indeed so!

Seeing Pei Ye subconsciously placed himself opposite him, thinking that if he didn't use the snow sword, would he inevitably die? And it was at this moment that the sword light that suddenly rose above the Sword Terrace made him tighten his pupils!

Chi Chi Longyun held his sword and climbed the steps with killing intent, but the sword pierced the dragon chair, but what it pierced wasn't the fragile heart of a person.

That was a true dragon!

Amidst the gaze of ten thousand people, Su Su Xingke's eyes were incomparably bright. He bit the hair flying in front of him. Amidst the fluttering green clothes, he suddenly twisted his body and swung his sword horizontally.

He didn't need the best posture, nor did he need the two advance steps of 【Heli Bestows Sword】 and 【Zhuanzhu Hides Fish】. An incomparably powerful sword poured out from his hand unreasonably.

【Into the Abyss Register】 · 【Sleeping Dragon Wakes Up】

"Zhuangzi · Lie Yukou" says: "There was a poor family on the river who relied on weaving to eat. Their son dived into the abyss and got a thousand-gold pearl. The father said to his son: 'Take a stone and forge it! A thousand-gold pearl must be in the nine-fold abyss and under the chin of the Li dragon. If you can get the pearl, you must have encountered it sleeping. If you make the Li dragon wake up, what will you have left!'"

Now, you have pierced its reverse scale with one sword.

The dragon pupils opened angrily. The dragon roar rushed straight into the clouds from the nine-fold abyss. In an instant, the sea of blood shattered, the killing intent shattered, the sword light shattered... the entire 【Candle Star Attacks the Moon】 collapsed like rotten wood.

Chi Chi Longyun was slashed and broken by one sword. The long sword flew into the sky, and the purple clothes fell onto the platform in a sorry state.

A moment of silence, and then the unimaginable roar rushed into the clouds.

On the Crane-Perching Terrace, Qi Qi Mengchen was still lowering her head to drink tea and flip pages. Song Song Zhishu nodded sadly: "Sigh, it seems there's no need to go and ask the Imperial College. It seems they didn't write it wrong."

Nan Nan Guannu looked out the window but didn't answer him. She sighed in a daze and looked at Qi Qi Mengchen: "Such a person didn't get a sword letter?"

Qi Qi Mengchen smiled: "Junior brother wanted to fight himself—young people descending the mountain for the first time, you know."

Nan Nan Guannu shook her head with a smile: "Truly, the younger generation is to be feared."

Amidst the admiration and conversation of the crowd, a straight footstep finally sounded on the stairs. Everyone cast their gazes over. The boy who had just come down from the Sword Terrace walked up carrying his sword step by step.

The green clothes were stained with blood, his hair bun was messy, and he still carried the killing intent and sharpness that hadn't faded.

He walked up to Qi Qi Mengchen in big strides, picked up a pot of tea, and drank it down.

The tea flowed into his throat regardless. He didn't stop until it hit the bottom, wiped his mouth, let out a long breath, and threw the teapot to the ground casually.

Then he raised his head and arms, pointing straight at Xiang Zhang Zongyuan opposite.

However, Xiang Zhang Zongyuan only smiled at him and continued to pour tea for himself, as if this stunning sword duel just now wasn't enough to add another name to the three people above.

On the other side, a sword intent became dazzlingly bright, and everyone seemed to feel the stinging pain at the edge of their vision.

Su Su Xingke turned his head suddenly, only to see Cui Zide leaning on the railing, looking at him with a smile, and beckoning to him with his fingers.
