Chapter 865

The seventh private room in the North District.

Jian Chen revealed a look of surprise; he had not expected that the reason his Master had been unable to break through to the Martial Saint realm for so long was because of this.

There can only be one hero, and the Hero Sword can only have one wielder in the world.

This is destiny!

Only the true successor of the Hero Sword can ascend to the realm of a Land Sword Immortal.

Viewed in this light, the Great Swordsmith casting two Hero Swords back then was a massive trap.

It was destined to ruin a brilliant genius of the sword.

Perhaps this was the Great Swordsmith's true purpose.

Using the future of that peerless genius to achieve the Sword Immortal realm for the successor of the Hero Sword.

Unfortunately, Mu Yingxiong was chosen to be that discarded pawn.

Thinking of this, Jian Chen could not help but sigh softly.

No one knew better than he did the feelings Wu Ming held for Mu Yingxiong.

Aside from his deceased wife, the person Wu Ming cared about most was Mu Yingxiong, whom he had not seen for forty years.

Yet, destiny demanded that the two engage in a life-or-death duel.

"This must be what is meant by the legendary 'Heaven's cruel irony'."

Wu Ming, sitting to the side, said with a bitter smile.

Over these years, he had always known the reason he could not break through.

And he was not the only one who knew.

He believed Mu Yingxiong was also very clear on it.

This was also the reason Mu Yingxiong had traveled far away to a foreign land.

The two had silently resisted destiny for forty years by choosing to "never meet again."

But now it seemed that all of this was destined to be in vain.

The two would ultimately have to engage in a decisive battle.

To determine the true successor of the Hero Sword.

To determine a Land Sword Immortal. ===== CHAPTER 867 =====
