Chapter 625

As Su Chen's voice fell, everyone in the hall let out a gasp of surprise.

The final person on the Great Nine Provinces Blade God Ranking has finally surfaced.

It is none other than the Heavenly Blade of the Great Sui, Song Que!

Many had already anticipated this result, as Song Que's fame is immense.

Heavenly Blade Song Que—though he has not drawn his blade in twenty years, no one has ever dared to question his blade technique.

And upon hearing Su Chen's commentary, the crowd wore even more shocked expressions.

There is actually a ninth blade beyond Song Que's "Eight Styles of the Heavenly Blade," and this blade offers a glimpse into the realm of a Land Blade Immortal.

For a moment, everyone in the hall began to discuss it fervently:

"Heavenly Blade Song Que truly lives up to his reputation; to think he could create such a terrifying blade technique."

"The ninth blade holds the promise of a Land Blade Immortal—this evaluation is too high, yet it is a pity that Song Que has been unable to comprehend it for twenty years."

"It seems like only a thin line away, but in reality, it is a distance of ten thousand miles; perhaps Song Que will never be able to grasp this realm in his lifetime."

"Indeed! It is precisely because of this that the terror of that Chuan Ying is reflected; he comprehended the Land Blade Immortal realm in his twenties."

"Regardless, being able to rank on the Great Nine Provinces Blade God Ranking is enough to prove the realm of Heavenly Blade Song Que's blade technique."

"I wonder, with Song Que's blade technique, what rank will he ultimately hold on the Great Nine Provinces Blade God Ranking?"

"The Great Sui is currently engulfed in flames of war; Song Que has occupied Lingnan for twenty years, sharpening his weapons and feeding his horses—he likely has ambitions of his own."

"I hear the confrontation between the righteous and demonic factions in the Great Sui is extremely intense; I wonder which side this Song Que belongs to?"

"Song Que's stance is truly hard to say; he seems impartial, and I fear he will become a target for both the righteous and demonic factions of the Great Sui to win over."

……

The fifth private room in the West District.

Hou Xibai said in surprise, "What a Heavenly Blade Song Que; I had underestimated his strength."

Twenty years ago, the Great Sui Jianghu produced many experts.

Among the female experts, Fan Qinghui and Zhu Yuyan were the most dazzling, each serving as the saintess of the righteous and demonic factions, leading the Jianghu.

And among the male experts, Song Que and Shi Zhixuan were the most famous.

Both were rising stars at the time, but due to their astonishing martial talent, they were hailed as prodigies expected to surpass Ning Daoqi.

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Evil King Shi Zhixuan has become the second-ranked expert of the Great Sui Mo Sect.

While Song Que, having remained in seclusion, has a strength that has become a mystery, unknown to the Jianghu.

Looking at it now, he is likely progressing at an astonishing speed as well.

"Song Que, is it..."

A look of reminiscence appeared in Fan Qinghui's eyes.

But soon, that trace of emotion in her eyes was replaced by reason.

From the moment she took charge of Cihang Jingzhai, she vowed to abandon her own emotions.

Now, in her eyes, there is only the interest of Cihang Jingzhai.

With Song Que's strength, he is clearly a target worth winning over for Cihang Jingzhai.

It is just unknown what rank Song Que can achieve on this Great Nine Provinces Blade God Ranking.

……

The third private room in the South District.

Song Shidao let out a long sigh of relief and smiled, "Father has indeed made the list."

Song Yuzhi said proudly, "I knew Father would definitely make the list with his strength; I don't know what you were nervous about."

Song Que's eyes still held a look of shock; it took him a long while to recover, and he exclaimed:

"This Mr. Su truly possesses unfathomable strength; to think he is so familiar with my 'Eight Styles of the Heavenly Blade'."

"He even knows clearly that the 'Eight Styles of the Heavenly Blade' has a ninth blade."

This shock was no small matter.

He dares to affirm that he has never met Su Chen, nor has he ever displayed all the moves of the "Eight Styles of the Heavenly Blade" in front of others.

In fact, when he roamed the Jianghu in those years, there wasn't even anyone who could withstand his sixth blade.

He has yet to find an opponent worthy of him unleashing the seventh and eighth blades.

As for the ninth blade, he has currently mastered only a prototype and is still in the stage of exploration.

He even once thought he had gone down the wrong path because this blade was too profound, and he wanted to give up.

But Su Chen's commentary has strengthened his conviction.

This ninth blade is precisely the supreme blade Dao realm he has been pursuing.

Thinking of this, Song Que could not help but feel his heart surge, and he said aloud:

"Song Que is here; many thanks to Mr. Su for pointing out the way. Great kindness requires no thanks; I will surely repay you handsomely in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue exploded.

Heavenly Blade Song Que has come too?

First the Demonic Queen Zhu Yuyan, then Cihang Jingzhai Master Fan Qinghui, and now Heavenly Blade Song Que.

Half of the influential figures of the Great Sui Jianghu have come to Tongfu Inn.

Regarding Song Que's words, the crowd of Jianghu experts nodded one after another, expressing their understanding.

Although Su Chen did not actually give Song Que any guidance, he only told Song Que that the path he is currently taking is correct.

But this single sentence alone is worth more than a thousand words!

For those who create their own martial Dao, the deeper their cultivation, the easier it is to become lost.

Because there is no path ahead to follow, one can only rely on oneself to probe bit by bit.

Once one takes a wrong turn, it could mean decades of hard work lost in an instant.

For these people, no amount of guidance is as important as the sentence, "The path you are taking is correct."

After all, with Su Chen's divine abilities, his words represent authority.

……

The seventh private room in the West District.

Fu Cailin looked into the distance following the voice, a look of solemnity appearing in his eyes, and he whispered:

"Heavenly Blade Song Que; I never thought this person's strength had progressed to such a degree."

When he roamed the Great Sui Jianghu with his sword in those years, Song Que had not yet entered the ranks of the absolute top.

To think that twenty years have passed, and Song Que's strength has reached a level that even he must treat with caution.

This could not help but make a trace of sorrow arise in Fu Cailin's heart.

The sorrow of being from a small, foreign nation.

Great nations like the six states of the Central Plains, the Mongol Yuan, and the Turks can continuously give birth to top experts.

While Goguryeo can only pin all its hopes on him alone.

Once he falls, Goguryeo will have no successors.

Such a heavy burden pressing on his shoulders makes his pressure immense.

Especially after seeing that an expert of the same level as him has appeared in the neighboring Great Sui Jianghu.

It makes him feel even more urgency in his heart.

……

On the white jade stage.

Su Chen accepted Song Que's gratitude calmly, took another sip of clear tea, and then said slowly:

"The six blade gods on the Great Nine Provinces Blade God Ranking have all been commented upon."

"Next is the ranking of the six blade gods on the list."

"Because it is the Blade God Ranking, this ranking is based solely on the blade Dao realm, and has nothing to do with internal energy cultivation."

"The six blade gods on the Great Nine Provinces Blade God Ranking are roughly divided into three tiers."

"Chuan Ying of the Great Song occupies the first tier alone; he already possesses the Land Blade Immortal realm, and his state of mind is invincible, with an unshakable status."

"The second tier consists of three people, in order: First Evil Emperor, Xiang Yu, and Song Que."
