Chapter 511

The first mistake was being dragged into the mental world of "Ten Thousand Dao Forest."

Xiao Aoshi spoke pleasantly, as though unwilling to make a complete enemy of Wuming.

In truth, this mental world was advantageous to Xiao Aoshi and very disadvantageous to Wuming!

The second mistake was that, having already avenged his great grudge and his state of mind weakened, he still subconsciously employed "Inexpressible Sorrow"!

So much so that Xiao Aoshi seized this breach in his state of mind and absorbed a wisp of "Inexpressible Sorrow."

Borrowing this wisp of "Inexpressible Sorrow," Xiao Aoshi comprehended the "Sorrowful Sword Dao"!

Then, combining the "Sorrowful Sword Dao" with the "Consciousness-Only Sword Intent."

Attacking from two directions, he ultimately defeated Wuming.

It can be said that from the very moment Xiao Aoshi pulled Wuming into the mental world of "Ten Thousand Dao Forest," he had already begun scheming.

"However! Since Xiongba is already dead, I won't let you strike again."

Saying so, Wuming casually beckoned, and a treasured sword flew into his hand.

The sword-light was fierce and sharp, carrying an inexplicable heroic air.

It was precisely the highest divine weapon of the Jian Sect — the Hero Sword!

"What? For a Xiongba, you'll fight me to the death?"

Xiao Aoshi saw that Wuming had even brought out the Hero Sword, and understood his meaning.

He sighed inwardly — this Wuming really was unbearably stubborn.

No wonder that cold and ungrateful old man of his had taken a liking to him.

"The things I have promised, even if it costs my life, I will still carry them out."

Wuming held the Hero Sword and said with a resolute expression.

"Good! I didn't want to kill you originally. What a pity."

"Since you insist on seeking death, then I'll oblige you!"

Xiao Aoshi extended two fingers, and the "Sorrowful Sword Dao" he had just comprehended directly transformed into a sword, condensing upon his two fingers.

"Then I'll use the 'Sorrowful Sword Dao' I comprehended thanks to you to slay you!"

"Go die!"

Once the words fell, Xiao Aoshi directly thrust out this sword.

Wuming shook the Hero Sword, meeting this final battle.

334 The Great Dragon Head has returned?

Heaven and Earth, Only My Dao!

Just as the great battle between Wuming and Xiao Aoshi was about to resume.

A sword intent, supremely yin and supremely evil, terrifying beyond compare, suddenly descended from the firmament.

Its target — straight at Xiao Aoshi!

Xiao Aoshi could clearly sense that, if he paid it no heed, even if this sword intent could not kill him.

It could still grievously wound him!

Shocked beyond measure in his heart, he could no longer use the "Sorrowful Sword Dao" to attack Wuming.

Instead, he abruptly withdrew, directly arriving outside the small courtyard, and stood condensed atop the high wall.

Having lost its target, this sword intent, upon landing, transformed into a swordsman in white.

He knelt before Wuming,

"Master, Jian Chen has arrived late. Please forgive me, Master."

"Jian Chen?"

Whether Xiao Aoshi or Wuming, upon seeing that the one who unleashed this supremely yin and supremely evil sword intent was actually Jian Chen, both were utterly shocked.

"Boy, what is this move called?"

Because of the nature of "Ten Thousand Dao Forest," Xiao Aoshi was martial-arts-mad.

A sword intent that could wound him — how could he not be concerned about it.

Wuming was also curious; he helped Jian Chen up and asked the same question.

"Master! This is one of the six sword intents I obtained from the 'Sword Realm.'"

"It is said these six sword intents all belong to the 'Mysterious Yin Sword Constellation'!"

If only Xiao Aoshi had asked, Jian Chen naturally would not have answered.

But since Wuming asked, Jian Chen answered without the slightest hesitation.

"'Sword Realm'? 'Mysterious Yin Sword Constellation'?"

Hearing this, Wuming murmured for a moment, pondering these two terms.

Xiao Aoshi, however, listened with eyes gleaming, and immediately asked again,

"You actually returned from the 'Sword Realm'? Then has the Great Dragon Head also left the 'Sword Realm'?"

The Sword Realm had opened a total of two times.

The first was when Lu Xueqi, aided by the Daoyun Jade Pendant, and Prince Zichu, relying on the Heshi Bi, launched an attack of the strongest sword intent.

This triggered the Sword Realm to open ahead of time.

That time caused countless renowned sword masters across the Nine Provinces to enter the Sword Realm in search of opportunities.

Among them was the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi!

The second time was the battle at the Western Xia frontier pass.

Qiao Feng did not avoid life or death, charging alone against the Dayuan's hundred thousand Keseght troops.

In the end, when his life encountered crisis, for some unknown reason he was sensed by Ximen Wudi.

Ximen Wudi had actually gone so far as to break open the Sword Realm's barrier, unleashing a heaven-shaking, earth-splitting strike — the "Sword from Beyond the Heavens" — that had once forced both Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Jingtian, those brothers, to bow in submission!

This opening was very rushed.

So not a single swordsman had time to get inside!

Yet now Jian Chen claimed he came from within the Sword Realm, which delighted Xiao Aoshi immensely.

Could it be that the Great Dragon Head has already returned to Qinglong Peak?

Then the deep blood-feud between himself and his big brother could be avenged right away?

"This…"

Jian Chen did not answer directly; he hesitated for a moment.

"Jian Chen! Where is your martial uncle?"

Wuming saw that Jian Chen was alone and found it strange as well.

The one who had originally taken Jian Chen to head to the Sword Realm — there was also his own good brother,

the Ten Thousand Swords Sovereign, the "Sword Sovereign" Mu Yingxiong!

"Master, the rest can wait — let us, master and disciple, join hands and drive this man back first!"

Jian Chen did not answer; instead, he unleashed once more that extremely yin and extremely evil sword-intent.

Wuming, seeing this sword-intent, also frowned deeply.

The path he walked did indeed contain one kind of emotion — the "Power of Grief"!

But his true foundation was the "Heavenly Sword" — righteous and grand, the august might of Heaven!

The Power of Grief, though a kind of negative emotion, under the righteous guidance of the "Heavenly Sword," still counted as the just sword Dao.

But Jian Chen's strange sword-intent, extremely yin and extremely evil, was the exact opposite of what he himself had taught!

Still, Jian Chen was not wrong — with a great enemy before them, this was no time to keep digging for answers.

"'Great Helmsman,' you are a senior and a master; today I can only break the rules and fight you together with my disciple Jian Chen."

Wuming raised the Hero Sword and pointed it at Xiao Aoshi.

Xiao Aoshi secretly reckoned that although Wuming's state of mind was damaged and his strength had slipped somewhat,

Jian Chen's sword-intent could clearly make up for Wuming's injuries.

The two combined were in fact even more terrifying than Wuming at his peak.

Although he himself had just comprehended a "Sword Dao of Sorrow," to rashly clash with them would most likely come at the cost of injury.

But right now the Great Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi, had very likely already returned from the Sword Realm.

This was the best moment to go and offer his services; going while wounded would not look good.

On Tianshan there was still that half-dead Purple-Robed Boss as a greeting gift.
