Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Monk Juexin became the only focus of the world. Under the gazes of countless people, he walked towards the northern city gate step by step in the sky.
As he got closer and closer to the north gate, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the city also saw him. They were all shocked and stood up one after another, unable to maintain their composure.
This was a world of martial arts, but their understanding of martial arts was still at the Spiritual Sense realm, which was the stage of a top expert. Thus, they had never seen a martial artist walk in the sky.
“Is he a True God realm expert…”
The Fortune Buddha stood behind Emperor Jiang Yu and muttered to himself with a complicated expression.
The level of the Mahayana Dragon Tower was awe-inspiring. Different statuses would know different things. The Fortune Buddha had only recently found out about the existence of the True God realm, but he did not know how powerful a True God realm expert was.
Emperor Jiang Yu was the same. The Emperor looked at the monk in a daze.
He suddenly felt that the insufferably arrogant Immortal Master Changsheng might not win.
He was not the only one who had such thoughts. Everyone who had witnessed Divine Monk Juexin had such thoughts. After all, Immortal Master Changsheng had never displayed the ability to walk in the air.
Halfway up Longqi Mountain, Ling Xiao could not help but turn to look at Huang Chuan and ask, “Can Master defeat him? This is a life and death battle after all.
Huang Chuan had roamed the martial arts world for many years and had seen many experts, but he had never seen such ability. He was not confident, but he was confident in Jiang Changsheng. He said in a low voice, “Trust Master. Master is the strongest.”
Meng Qiushuang, Qing Ku, Wan Li, Mingyue, and the others frowned, but they did not question Jiang Changsheng and only waited patiently.
From Longqi Mountain, figures leaped up from the city and landed on the eaves. As far as the eye could see, there were figures on the eaves of the city. Warriors leaped up and ordinary people leaned on ladders, wanting to watch this peerless battle.
Many of them from the White-robed Guards, the Sky Martial Supervisor, and the Imperial Guards also landed on the eaves to watch the battle. Hua Jianxin was also there. She looked at the figure of Divine Monk Juexin and subconsciously tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword.
Just the appearance of Divine Monk Juexin made people feel that he had already won.
Under everyone’s gaze, Divine Monk Juexin landed on the city wall at the north gate. He stood upright and waited for Immortal Master Changsheng to descend.
On Longqi Mountain, in the courtyard.
Jiang Changsheng stood up and stretched his muscles. Wang Chen ran back to the courtyard and said nervously, “Daoist Master, that divine monk can actually fly. Don’t be careless.”
Bai Qi snorted and said, “Don’t think too much about it. Flying is the symbol of the Divine realm.”
White Dragon raised its snake body and poked its head out of the branch of the Earth Spirit Tree, looking at the northern city gate from afar.
Wang Chen had long heard Bai Qi speak human language, so he was not surprised. He only looked at Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Isn’t it just flying? I know how to fly too. Have you forgotten how I transcended the tribulation? I’m usually just too lazy to fly.”
This was the truth. If he wrapped his body with spiritual energy, he could easily fly. However, he felt that it was not as handsome as flying on a sword.
Wang Chen heaved a sigh of relief and did not remind him anymore. He turned around and left, preparing to watch the battle.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly unsheathed the Taihang Sword at his waist. He jumped up and stepped on the sword with an imposing aura.
Bai Qi jumped out of the courtyard and came to the edge of the cliff. It looked down at the northern city gate.
After Divine Monk Juexin arrived, most people’s gazes landed on Longqi Mountain, looking forward to Immortal Master Changsheng’s appearance. Soon, they saw Jiang Changsheng riding his sword down the mountain, causing many commoners, officials, and nobles to cheer.
Naturally, they were more interested in Immortal Master Changsheng. After all, he was from the capital.
Seeing Jiang Changsheng appear, the Fortune Buddha behind Emperor Jiang Yu sneered and said, “One is directly moving forward in the air, and the other still needs to step on a sword. The difference in realm is obvious at a glance.”
Emperor Jiang Yu did not reply. He felt the same.
Jiang Changsheng quickly flew to the top of the city wall and gently jumped down, landing steadily on the eaves of the city wall. The Taihang Sword circled around and accurately flew into his scabbard.
This method excited many martial artists.
“I didn’t expect there to be such a swordsman in the martial arts world.” “Immortal Master Changsheng is not a swordsman.”
“Today, I can finally experience the Wondrous Sect’s Dharma Idol of the martial arts legend.”
“Martial arts legends are indeed impressive, but they are still slightly inferior to Grandmasters.”
“The leader of the five Grandmasters, Daoist Tian Gang, died in the Hero’s Tomb. If Divine Monk Juexin can win, he will be the strongest Grandmaster, a true martial arts legend.”
Outside the city, the rich and powerful characters in the martial arts world, the nobles of the aristocratic families, and the commoners were all discussing the outcome of the battle between the two peerless experts.
Divine Monk Juexin opened his eyes and his gaze landed on Jiang Changsheng. He said, “Immortal Master Changsheng is really young.”
Jiang Changsheng chuckled and said, “I’m almost 50 years old. I’m not considered young.”
Divine Monk Juexin was indifferent and said, “Today’s battle is the last battle in my life. If I die, I will enter the Hero’s Tomb and promote the reputation of Longqi Temple. If Immortal Master dies, I will not live for long and will follow you soon.”
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, “Divine Monk, look at what you’re saying. ”
Divine Monk Juexin’s eyes turned cold. He spoke again, but this time, he was mouthing the words.
He explained his purpose for coming to restore Chu.
And Jiang Changsheng’s existence became the greatest obstacle in restoring
Chu.
When Jiang Changsheng saw this, he was not surprised. Instead, he said calmly, “Then attack. There are quite a number of people here. Don’t let the spectators wait for too long.”
“Then let me experience the power of today’s martial arts legend!”
Divine Monk Juexin said in a low voice. He pressed his palms together, and the Buddhist light behind him increased greatly. The indistinct Buddha statue also became larger, and true qi began to curl around his body. This true qi was actually blood-colored.
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. He could tell at a glance that the other party was burning his qi and blood to forcefully increase his cultivation.
If this continued. even if he won. he would not live past today.
This old fellow was really going all out.
Even if the opponent was at the True God realm, he did not intend to let his guard down. Instead, he wanted to burn his lifespan and unleash his strongest attack.
The sky was like dusk. A strong wind blew between the heavens and the earth, wreaking havoc in the forest outside the city. It blew the robes of the guests on the eaves, and a huge pressure enveloped the entire city. Even the commoners could feel the pressure, and their chests felt uncomfortable.
The world changed color!
The rolling thunderclouds suddenly gathered and surged violently, ready to attack.
Jiang Changsheng did not attack. Instead, he stared curiously at Divine Monk Juexin.
Divine Monk Juexin shouted angrily. The phantom-like Buddha statue behind him suddenly rose to a height of 1,000 feet. It was dazzling with golden light and had a burly figure with a divine aura. Its face was like an Arhat that had subdued demons as it glared at Jiang Changsheng.
Everyone widened their eyes at this scene.
Outside the city, an old beggar’s entire body trembled as he muttered, “He stepped on the air and focused his true qi. He has already surpassed the Grandmaster realm and is no longer an ordinary person.”
All the martial artists were shocked and looked at Divine Monk Juexin with fanaticism and reverence.
The end path of martial arts could actually be so powerful!
All of their hearts were burning with flames.
At this moment, the thousand-foot-tall Arhat Golden Buddha suddenly shrank and entered the body of Divine Monk Juexin. The thin and old body of Divine Monk Juexin suddenly became strong. His muscles propped up his kasaya, and his body turned golden.
In an instant, he was nearly three meters tall and had a domineering posture. He slowly raised his arms and two golden Buddhist arms condensed on his back. They were abnormally dazzling, as if Buddhist light shone behind him.
At this moment, the image of Divine Monk Juexin completely exceeded that of a mortal. The Emperor, Jiang Yu, stood up and widened his eyes.
On the cliff, Bai Qi was speechless as it watched. It sighed and said, “This Great
Jing is not simple. That True God realm expert is too strong…”
That terrifying pressure reminded it of the True God realm expert of the Donglin Dynasty. He was not weak at all.
“This realm is above the Grandmaster realm and the True God realm. That poor monk used his flesh and blood to open the True God realm in the thirteen prefectures and the world. All the martial artists in the world should think of reaching this realm. This is the True God realm, a realm that you juniors have to pursue for the rest of your lives!”
Divine Monk Juexin’s voice resounded through the sky. Everyone in and outside the city could hear it, as if the Thunder God was roaring. It was shocking.
Divine Monk Juexin raised his right arm and pulled back the golden arm behind him, making a gesture as if he was about to swing his palm.
With a horse stance, the aura of a True God realm expert reached its limit!
He stared coldly at Jiang Changsheng and said, “Immortal Master, why aren’t you circulating your energy?”
Jiang Changsheng clipped the Qilin Horsetail Whisk to his waist and pulled out the Taihang Sword again. He smiled and said, “Then I’ll use the ultimate technique of Longqi Temple, the Taiqing Sword Technique, to fight a True God realm expert.”
“Why don’t you use the Wondrous Sect’s Dharma Idol?”
“We should let the world see the sword technique of Longqi Temple.”
Jiang Changsheng smiled casually and raised his sword to point at Divine Monk Juexin.
Divine Monk Juexin laughed loudly and his expression turned sinister. His blood qi had already burned to its limit and he could not wait any longer.
Under everyone’s nervous expressions, Divine Monk Juexin roared angrily and swung his right palm with great force. The golden arm on his back did the same. As soon as he struck out with his palms, thunder exploded and a white stream descended at the same time, causing the world to lose its color.
“Buddha Shakes the Mountains and Rivers!”
Rumble—
The city wall under their feet instantly turned into dust and exploded. The world-destroying palm wind blew countless people to the ground.
Jiang Changsheng faced the vast power of a True God realm expert and suddenly loosened his right hand. He pushed his palm forward and the Taihang Sword turned into a sword light that shot out.
Whoosh!
The world was illuminated by this sword light, and the lightning stopped abruptly. Everyone was shaken until they subconsciously closed their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, the palm wind on the city wall was dispersed. The sky was centered in the direction of Jiang Changsheng’s sword, and the sea of clouds split apart. It was endless, as if the sky had been split into two. It was extremely shocking.
Divine Monk Juexin maintained his posture of waving his palm and stood still in midair. A sword pierced through his chest and embedded itself in his golden body. His entire body trembled and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He stared at Jiang Changsheng and the golden color on his body slowly faded. He asked in a trembling voice, “The Taiqing Sword Technique… Where did it come from…
Jiang Changsheng clenched his right hand slightly. With a puff, the Taihang Sword left the body of Divine Monk Juexin. Blood splattered into the sky, and the hilt flew into Jiang Changsheng’s palm.
“It was created by me. Although you are a True God realm expert, my Taiqing Sword Technique specializes in killing gods.”
Jiang Changsheng’s voice was abnormally indifferent. He gently shook his sword and used his spiritual energy to disperse the blood on the blade before sheathing it.
Divine Monk Juexin’s eyes lost their luster, and his body quickly shriveled, turning into his old and weak figure. Immediately after, he fell from the sky.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and beckoned, sucking the corpse of Divine Monk Juexin over. He took the opportunity to grab Divine Monk Juexin’s belt and carried his corpse to Longqi Mountain.
The world was silent.
Everyone was still in a daze. They only woke up when they saw Jiang Changsheng flying towards Longqi Temple with the corpse of Divine Monk
Juexin.
“Heavens! Divine Monk Juexin has actually been defeated?”
“How is that possible? He lost just like that?”
“How could such a terrifying palm be broken by a sword? Even though we were far away just now, I felt like I was suffocating!”
“What sword technique is that? Did the people in front hear it clearly?”
“It’s the Taiqing Sword Technique! Immortal Master said that this sword specializes in slaying gods. Hiss—The Martial Arts Legend is really invincible!”
Outside the city, a large number of martial arts practitioners knelt down. Some were so frightened that their legs went limp, and some were so shocked that they could not help but want to kowtow. As more and more martial artists knelt, their momentum spread, and it was unstoppable. All the martial arts practitioners knelt down and worshipped the direction of Longqi Temple.
The northern city gate had already turned into ruins. When most people in the city saw this scene, they were also shocked.
A scholar stood in the attic with a dull gaze. He swallowed his saliva and lamented, “The Taiqing Sword killed gods with a single strike, and ghosts shook the heavens. All the martial artists in the world kowtowed and welcomed the arrival of God…
“The pinnacle of martial arts in the world…”
Huang Chuan’s excited voice sounded from Longqi Mountain.
“Send Divine Monk Juexin to the Hero’s Tomb!”
The voice reverberated for a long time, making everyone feel the heroism of a martial arts legend..
