Chapter 230

It is cold at the heights.

And Dugu Qiubai already stood at the absolute peak; looking around, all were defeated opponents.

For a time, the Jianghu heroes in the hall couldn't help but discuss:

"So strong! The Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai is so strong! As a Great Song person, I didn't know our Great Song had such a peerless expert."

"Hahaha, as expected, our Great Song's invincible Sword God is more powerful. Feng Qingyang only learned a little bit of the surface and could be ranked on the Great Ming Sword God List."

"Good! Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai—such an invincible Sword God should not be buried. When I go back, I must promote him widely."

"Seeking a single defeat his whole life but unable to find one—I didn't expect there to be such a person in this world. This realm, I admire, I admire."

"I didn't expect Dugu Qiubai to have fought with the Great Han Sword Saint Dugu, and discussed the Dao with Zhang Zhenren. Too powerful."

"Being too invincible is not a good thing! With Dugu Qiubai's strength, he could only live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, with a vulture as his friend."

"Senior Dugu fought through the world invincible sixty years ago; now that sixty years have passed, isn't his Sword Dao even more exquisite?"

"May I ask Mr. Su, where is the Sword Tomb where Senior Dugu lives in seclusion? I want to go and worship him."

"Can Mr. Su comment on Dugu Qiubai's Sword Dao—what exactly is so powerful about it?"

The third private room in the East District.

"This, this Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai is too strong, right?"

A Fei was incoherent with excitement.

"I have to admit, people's talents cannot be compared."

"There are always some people in this world who possess martial talent that ordinary people cannot imagine."

"It's just that someone as invincible as Dugu Qiubai is indeed the first time I've heard of it."

Li Xunhuan also said with emotion.

The first private room in the North District.

Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao said in shock: "What a terrifying Dugu Qiubai; I didn't expect there to be such a person in the world."

"This Dugu Qiubai also discussed the Dao with Zhang Zhenren; is even Zhang Zhenren not his opponent?"

Yin Tianzheng muttered in disbelief.

For people in the Great Ming Jianghu, Zhang Sanfeng is a figure of the Mount Tai and North Star level.

With over a hundred years of cultivation, his power is unfathomable; whether righteous or demonic, mentioning him requires three parts of respect.

Hearing now that Dugu Qiubai discussed the Dao with Zhang Sanfeng on Mount Wudang without being defeated, the shock in their hearts can be imagined.

"When Dugu Qiubai came to the Great Ming, it was at least sixty years ago."

"In these sixty years, Zhang Zhenren's martial realm has been rising rapidly, never stagnating."

"If the two fought again now, who would win and who would lose is unknown."

Yang Xiao said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

Regarding Zhang Sanfeng, they were all very confident; he was absolutely a figure representing the Great Ming.

Moreover, Wudang's kung fu is the best for Daoist cultivation, becoming stronger the older one gets.

From this point of view, the same sixty years passed, which is undoubtedly more favorable to Zhang Sanfeng.

The ninth private room in the North District.

Gusu Gusu Murong Fu couldn't help but grip his precious sword tightly.

Su Chen's three sighs presented an invincible swordsman standing at the peak, looking down on the world, before his eyes.

If he had this strength, why would the great cause of restoring the country be so difficult?

Feng Bo'e, sitting on the side, clicked his tongue: "This Dugu Qiubai is too strong; I didn't expect our Great Song to hide such an old monster."

"Miss Cousin, does the 'Dugu Nine Swords' manual exist in the Still-Returning Water Pavilion?"

A-Zhu whispered to Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan shook her head: "This definitely doesn't exist. There are hundreds of sword manuals in the Still-Returning Water Pavilion, but few can be called exquisite, and even fewer are this brilliant."

This sentence stung Gusu Gusu Murong Fu even more.

Heart-piercing!

The Still-Returning Water Pavilion claims to house all martial arts manuals in the world, but in reality, it is just a pile of junk.

If it contained the Shaolin Sect's 'Yijin Jing', Huang Shang's 'Nine Yin Manual', or Dugu Qiubai's 'Dugu Nine Swords', why would his martial arts only be at this level?

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen's expression was relaxed, drinking fragrant tea while listening to everyone's discussions.

This Dugu Qiubai, whether in age or record, is absolutely a figure of Zhang Sanfeng's level.

And Zhang Sanfeng has always been known to everyone in the Great Ming Jianghu.

Dugu Qiubai, however, was suddenly exposed after living in seclusion for sixty years.

The shock this brought to the Great Song Jianghu people can be imagined.

Many people asked him about the mysteries of the 'Dugu Nine Swords'.

Even more people wanted to know the location of Dugu Qiubai's Sword Tomb so they could go and worship him in person.

Su Chen pondered for a moment and felt that the location of Dugu Qiubai's Sword Tomb should not be revealed for the time being.

But his sword technique could be commented on a little, which could also add some popularity points.

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately unfurled his folding fan and said with a smile:

"Dugu Qiubai's Sword Dao has long surpassed the limitations of worldly sword moves; the 'Dugu Nine Swords' emphasizes intent rather than moves."

"This sword technique aims to control the enemy by acting after them; every move is an attack, and by attacking what the enemy must save, there is no need for defense."

"The 'Dugu Nine Swords' is divided into nine sword moves: the General Resolution, Sword-Breaking, Blade-Breaking, Spear-Breaking, Whip-Breaking, Rope-Breaking, Palm-Breaking, Arrow-Breaking, and Qi-Breaking."

"Learning these nine sword moves allows one to evolve thousands of changes during battle; no matter what weapon the enemy uses or how they attack, one can see through it in an instant and counter it."

"Therefore, those who learn these 'Dugu Nine Swords' can often arrive first by acting after, becoming stronger when facing the strong, and occupying the initiative in moves."

"The above are all the foundations of the moves; if one wants to go further, one needs a deeper understanding of Sword Dao."

"Dugu Qiubai buried four swords in the Sword Tomb."

"The first sword was a green-edged iron sword, sharp and fierce, indestructible; before he was twenty, he used it to compete with heroes in Hebei."

"The second sword was a purple-crape soft sword, both hard and soft, combining hardness and softness; used before the age of thirty, defeating various heroes."

"The third sword was a heavy black iron sword; the heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is not clumsy. He relied on it in the Jianghu before the age of forty."

"The fourth sword was a wooden sword; after the age of forty, he was not hindered by objects, and grass, wood, bamboo, and stone could all be swords. He relied on it to travel through the various nations, defeating all in the world."

"The transformation of these four swords is exactly Dugu Qiubai's four-fold understanding of the Sword Dao realm."

"They are: fierce, changing, great skill is not clumsy, and not hindered by objects."

"Later, Dugu Qiubai lived in seclusion at the Sword Tomb; with no sword in hand but a sword in his heart, he gradually entered the realm of 'no sword is better than having a sword'."

"These five realms are Dugu Qiubai's Sword Dao."

"I wish for all swordsmen in the world to take this as a goal and reach the realm of 'no sword is better than having a sword' as soon as possible."

As Su Chen's voice fell, the hall was silent.

This was the first time Su Chen had given a profound explanation of the martial path since he started commenting, making all the Jianghu heroes present have great realizations.

"The heavy sword has no edge, great skill is not clumsy!"

"This is exactly the Sword Dao I am pursuing. Thank you, Mr. Su, for your guidance."

In the great hall, a swordsman let out a long whistle, his sword intent surging and roiling; he had actually experienced an epiphany on the spot, and his sword intent had sublimated.

Everyone looked at the sound and couldn't help but be surprised.

This person was actually the Iron Sword of Songyang, Guo Songyang; the wide-backed iron sword on his back was too conspicuous.

He did not accept the Sword God List ranked by Su Chen and challenged Ximen Chuixue and Jing Wuming one after another, both suffering miserable defeats.

Everyone didn't expect him to have the nerve to come back.

And he gained enlightenment from Su Chen's commentary, improving his Sword Dao realm in one fell swoop.

Although other swordsmen also gained many benefits, they were far less significant than his improvement.

For a time, everyone showed looks of envy. ===== CHAPTER 232 =====
