Chapter 39

"Hmm?"

Wu Wudi suddenly turned around, greatly alarmed in his heart, as he suddenly perceived someone quietly watching this place not far away.

When he had first come to this valley, apart from an old monk's corpse, he had not discovered anyone; now, an unworldly youth stood at the valley entrance without him knowing.

How long had this unworldly youth been here?

Even though he had not deliberately paid attention to his surroundings due to his agitated mind, his Myth Realm Primordial Spirit was extremely keen, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be approached without noticing.

Unless...

Unless the other party was of the same realm, or even higher.

Jiang Xuan gave a slight nod and clasped his fists to show goodwill.

"Sir, your martial arts reach the divine; Wu admires you. If there is a day, I will surely discuss martial arts with you, but I have pressing matters and must take my leave."

Wu Wudi's thoughts flickered, and he likewise clasped his fists and nodded.

This mysterious youth before him was probably also of the Myth Realm; he, Wu Wudi, was obsessed with martial arts and feared no one—if there were a day, he would surely exchange blows with him.

But for now, the most urgent matter was to take away the Great Evil King and resolve the bloodline curse, trying not to create unnecessary complications.

"I am Jiang Xuan, Lord of the Tianxia Association; I pay my respects to Wu Xiansheng."

"Speaking of which, Wu Xiansheng has been half a teacher to me; I once obtained Wu Xiansheng's Xuanwu True Art inheritance at Lingyun Grotto. The Ten Strong Martial Arts are vast and profound, integrating the true essence of a hundred martial arts, and I have benefited greatly. Today I can finally thank you in person."

"However, this Great Evil King is useful to me as well, Wu Xiansheng cannot take him away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xuan's expression remained calm; rain formed a bridge beneath his feet as he slowly stepped forward.

Rainwater condensed beneath his feet; as he stepped forward, ripples on the water bloomed like lotuses beneath his feet.

Seemingly slow, yet each step covered several meters; within one breath, he had already arrived before the Great Evil King.

"Haha, exactly what I want. I also wish to see the prowess of the Tianxia Association Lord who defeated four Myth Realm experts."

Wu Wudi then realized the youth before him was Jiang Xuan, who had defeated four Myth Realm experts with his sword not long ago; that battle had spread throughout Shen Zhou, so he naturally knew of it.

Boom! Boom!

Wu Wudi stepped toward Jiang Xuan, his martial aura bursting forth, driving the sound of howling winds across the sky; as he advanced, his aura grew heavier and wilder.

When he reached three meters before Jiang Xuan, his aura had reached its peak.

A heavy fist intent like mountains and seas surged mightily, like a dragon soaring to the nine heavens, looking down on Tianxia; he threw a punch at Jiang Xuan.

Facing this mysterious Tianxia Association Lord before him, even he would treat him with full power; as soon as he acted, he gathered his entire momentum.

"Hmm? This fist intent, Mountain Sea Fist Classic."

Standing before the Great Evil King, Jiang Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged; this Mountain Sea Fist Classic surpassed the fist principles in Lingyun Grotto.

That made sense; after all, the inheritance in Lingyun Grotto was left by Wu Wudi decades ago. Given his talent, after decades, his martial arts must have advanced further.

Whoosh!

Jiang Xuan likewise threw a punch; the terrifying fist wind broke space, and ripples rose in the Void.

Also the Mountain Sea Fist Classic, but his own Mountain Sea Fist Classic.

"Eh? Good fist art! Good artistic conception!"

Wu Wudi was astonished; this fist art had a similar marvel to his Mountain Sea Fist Classic, and even more astonishing was that this punch contained a more profound artistic conception, somewhat similar to the principle of the operation of all things in Heaven and Earth.

The fist intent spirit revealed by this punch made his heart surge, as if a mountain and a sea were truly pressing toward him; the fist wind was restrained, yet even so, it brought him great pressure, forcing him to go all out.

Boom!

The valley exploded, rainwater poured back toward the Heavenly Vault; the originally dim sky suddenly brightened under these punch collisions, like Pangu's Axe, as the fist intent that shattered mountains and rivers exploded in midair and quickly solidified.

Within the valley, it was like millions of tons of explosives roaring; as the fist seals collided, all tangible and intangible things collapsed and turned to ruins under this overwhelming clash.

Tremor! Shatter! Crush! Destroy!

A power like a Heaven and Earth millstone destroying everything, boundless strength mixed with peerless fist intent shattered the Void, then broke all things.

This was the power of their fist intents colliding.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another hundred-plus punches collided; the Tianqiong above the entire valley was covered by their fist seals.

The valley was completely reduced to ruins, shattered by their incomparably violent and tyrannical fist force.

Rumble!

Wherever the fist seals went, the earth rolled like an earth dragon turning over; the ground where they stood collapsed, and mountain walls as hard as divine weapons turned into handfuls of powder under the impact of this fist force, drifting down.

Fist force scattered in all directions, rocks pierced the sky, the earth trembled, and the Tianqiong shook.

"Good, satisfying, good fist!"

Amidst a sound like Pangu's Axe, a voice of satisfaction mixed with astonishment rang out.

Under Jiang Xuan's fist, Wu Wudi could no longer respond with fist arts alone.

He changed fist to claw, like an evil dragon coiling and locking, with thousands of claws covering the sky and pressing down, locking onto Jiang Xuan's vital points.

"Ten Paths of Extreme Strength!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Rumble!

Before Jiang Xuan could react, an extremely tyrannical martial intent emanated from Wu Wudi, its momentum overshadowing everything.

The sound of endless violent thunder resounded; ten fierce and mighty soldiers of will, with the momentum of the collapsing sky, came at him from all directions.

Sword shattered the Heavenly Vault, blade cracked the Void, staff struck Heaven and Earth, leg swept the four directions, fist heavy as a mountain...

Jiang Xuan withdrew his fist and stood motionless, like an Ancient Tai Gu Shen Shan.

The moment countless attacks struck Jiang Xuan, a power of conquest that annihilated all living beings seemed to erupt between Heaven and Earth.

Heaven and Earth fell silent in fear!

Blades, spears, swords, and halberds seemed to become ten thousand heavenly soldiers descending to the Lower Realm to punish; within fists, palms, fingers, and claws, countless divine arts and secret techniques fused; the Void could not withstand this sudden divine power, unwillingly emitting cries of breaking inch by inch, and dense Void Cracks spread outward.

This strike, which concentrated the essence of Wu Wudi's perfected martial arts, erupted with him at its center; countless clods of earth and gravel were utterly annihilated, and the ferocious, tyrannical martial divine weapon phantoms instantly enveloped Jiang Xuan where he stood.

Boom!

Bang!

Hiss!

The endless clashing of divine weapons, the sounds of offensive collisions, rose and fell like a vast meteor shower descending from the heavens, trembling the heart and spirit. Layer upon layer of qi waves, centered on Jiang Xuan, surged and crashed toward the eight directions; the overwhelming momentum seemed intent on thoroughly scouring this heaven and earth into ruin.

The valley, already reduced to ruins, and even the several thousand zhang surrounding it had become a sea of powder; the sky-obscuring sea of dust billowed up a mushroom cloud hundreds of zhang high.

Amid the ringing of gold and iron, Jiang Xuan's heart was incomparably tranquil; he could feel the violent power sweeping in from all sides around his body, capable of sweeping away everything — this move, "Strongest Ten Paths," was truly remarkable, terrifying to the extreme.

A faint glow lit up around his body from within the smoke and dust; relative to the thunderous howls and dazzling radiance of the peerless offensive, it was utterly inconspicuous.

Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe!

Wu Wudi panted heavily; this move, Strongest Ten Paths, was a strike that nearly gathered his entire Essence Qi Spirit — even for him, it could only be used once in a short span of time.

He was confident that in the world, no other Myth Realm could block this move of his.

Di Shi Tian could not; neither could this Lord of Tianxia before him.

……

The smoke and dust dispersed, and Jiang Xuan stepped forth from the center, his hair bound neatly, not even a speck of dust staining his hem.
