The sky grew increasingly overcast, and the scent of moisture could faintly be detected in the air.
"This sword is called Zun Long."
Jiang Yu seemed in no hurry to make his move. Instead, he slowly drew his longsword and began to introduce it.
"Uh, are you perhaps going to say that it's my honor to be defeated by this sword?"
Li Mo suddenly spoke.
"..." Jiang Yu opened his mouth. He had indeed intended to say just that.
But admitting it now would make him lose Face.
"Actually, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time."
Li Mo sighed, "The names you choose are quite embarrassing."
Buzz—
The Zun Long sword trembled slightly. freewebnøvel.com
Jiang Yu's hand gripping the hilt tightened.
Why are you listening to him!?
"A rustic villager, ignorant of the golden words!"
As his voice fell, it resonated like a Dragon's roar, and the entire Inner City echoed with a majestic Heavenly sound. Many people already felt cold sweat on their backs and their knees going weak, almost wanting to prostrate themselves.
But Li Mo's fiercely burning Yi Soul, instead, was like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, burning even brighter. Not only was he unaffected, but he stood even more resolute and unyielding.
Yi Soul versus Yi Soul!
Undoubtedly, Jiang Yu cultivated Guan Shen Nine Apertures, a higher Realm.
However, he was completely unable to suppress Li Mo on the Yi Soul level. Instead, he himself felt a lump in his throat.
Li Mo seized the initiative, his mind sinking into the Celestial Human Divine Sword. He held a sword in his hand, and a sword in his heart.
This sword was silent, swift as a phantom bolt of lightning. Once unleashed, it never looked back. It was precisely the Wu Chang Post, which had once assassinated kings and shocked the world with a single strike. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
No distinction of superiority, only a decision of life and death!
"Pifu's courage."
Jiang Yu's eyes flickered, then quickly returned to stillness. Divine light surged from his chest, and wisps of sharp, silvery mist intertwined around his longsword.
At this moment, a renowned weapon's sharpness was actually no weaker than a God Sword!
The sword's momentum was impartial and imposing, overwhelmingly powerful, enveloping all directions of the stage, leaving no room to dodge or evade.
Ding—
The sword tips met, and a sharp, chaotic current swept through the surroundings, tearing at the space of Mustard Seed within Sumeru, causing violent tremors.
Sword light scattered wildly, and Qi surged. Ordinary people could not discern who had the upper hand.
"I almost forgot, this Qianlong Assembly is extraordinary."
Abbot Huai Kong patted the back of his head and pointed a finger.
Immediately, the shaking arena space slowly calmed down.
Only then could one see clearly.
Jiang Yu still stood in place, his Divine Intention, like a tangible entity, enveloped the air. Not even a corner of his clothes was wrinkled, filled with the imposing Aura he had just displayed.
"Tsk, a sword style I can't comprehend."
Li Mo's steps remained still, but his body was forced back several feet by the recoil, leaving two deep marks.
The Eight Nine Arcane Art protected him, but after all, he had only just begun to master it, and his vital Qi surged in waves.
"Relying solely on the sword, with my current level of swordsmanship, it's almost impossible to defeat him."
To become Qianlong First, Jiang Yu truly did not rely on his reputation or the Face of the imperial family.
His True Dragon Body was incomparably powerful, with Dragon might in every move. Within him lay the Dragon Sword Bone, which allowed his sword techniques to reach Transcendent as soon as they were unleashed, without expending mental effort.
If both sides didn't use God Swords, Li Mo using a hammer would make it an even match.
But he was using a sword now, and Jiang Yu also possessed the Eight Wildernesses Six Harmonies Seal, ranked first on the God Sword Ranking, whose divine power was unknown.
Unless... Woo—
The Dragon's roar echoed in his ears again, and the longsword, shimmering with scales, pierced through layers of obstruction.
The Shang Fang Imperial Sword Technique was comprehended by Jiang Yu from his Sword Bone.
"High Mountain Flowing Water would probably only be useful against the Jiang Yu of the last Qianlong Assembly," Ning Que thought to himself below the stage.
Standing below the stage, he already felt it difficult to breathe. He feared he wouldn't even be able to lift his hands to play the zither before he would be forced to submit.
Moreover, facing him directly... As the Imperial Sword Technique was unleashed, Li Mo felt as if his limbs were bound by heavy shackles, making movement difficult.
His seven Mystic Cores rotated ceaselessly, and he pushed the Eight Nine Arcane Art to its limit, suddenly shattering the cage, then using his hammer as a sword.
The intent of the sky collapsing was not as strong as when he used his hammer, but in a trance, the already overcast sky still seemed to plummet downwards.
Rumble—
The first angry thunderclap sounded from the dark clouds.
The thunder, however, rose from the ground to reach the heavens.
This time, both sides were evenly matched.
"I seem to have found a method, but it's not enough... Dugu Nine Swords is not yet at Perfection."
Little Li Genius's mind was filled with inspiration.
However, at this very moment.
"Using me as a whetstone to sharpen your Divine Intention, aren't you afraid of breaking this mortal weapon of yours?"
Jiang Yu seemed to have lost his patience, abandoning the idea of utterly defeating Li Mo without using a God Sword.
Buzz—
In his left hand, a seal emerged in the air, and along with it, that profound, unshakeable power appeared.
The Great Yu Dynasty's Luck!
Jiang Yu's figure seemed to suddenly grow taller, giving people the illusion of being as towering as a divine demon.
As the seal descended.
The four directions of heaven and earth seemed to have suddenly grown larger?
No, it was Li Mo himself who felt a sense of insignificance!
He felt as if he had become a name written in an imperial decree, already marked in red ink by the imperial brush. Once the great seal was stamped, his life and death would no longer be his own.
Who could resist such authority?
Behind Li Mo, at this moment, besides the unyielding Great Sage Divine Intent, a bright moon also appeared.
The bright moon shone, and everything around became slow.
Yet his thoughts remained clear, as if immersed in the soft moonlight.
"Shenxiao Demon Subduing!"
The earlier dark clouds had been brewed into a Heavenly Tribulation by the Heaven Slaying Hammer!
What Li Mo intended was to first use the Heaven Slaying Hammer to build up power for the Heavenly Tribulation, then guide it with the Shenxiao Demon Subduing Sword!
Rumble—
Explosions of thunder shook the sky.
Terrifying Qi condensed, transforming into terrifying divine lightning bolts that tore through the sky and swept down!
How could a mortal emperor contend with the will of Heaven?
With a bang, it struck the Eight Wildernesses Six Harmonies Seal, causing the Dynasty Luck on it to tremble incessantly.
"It moved, the Eight Wildernesses Six Harmonies Seal loosened!"
"If he loses the God Sword's enhancement, can Li Mo truly win with his sword and defeat the Qianlong Ranking Top?"
"He actually also possesses such terrifying swordsmanship, capable of drawing the Heavenly Tribulation..."
Everyone present was stunned; everything happened very quickly.
First, the imperial might overshadowed mountains and rivers, dominating the lives of others, and then the God Sword drew ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) lightning, turning everything into black and white.
This strike, it seemed, would determine the victor... "Hmph!"
Suddenly, a cold snort came from within the Imperial City.
"Inciting the Heavenly Tribulation repeatedly, do you take this Duke for non-existent?"
As the voice fell, the sky full of lightning actually froze and became still.
No matter how powerful Shenxiao Demon Subduing was, the one who wielded it was, after all, Li Mo, a Guan Shen Realm cultivator.
He neither had the convergence of inner and outer heaven and earth nor had he achieved a Law Body.
The lightning dissipated into nothingness in the Void Realm, essentially being a loud thunderclap but a small Heavenly Tribulation... "Was that voice just now Duke Qian?" Xie Yiding frowned.
Du Wufeng, with his straightforward nature, angrily said, "He didn't speak early, he didn't speak late, but he chose this moment to interfere in the juniors' competition. This is too shameless!"
Below the stage, there was also a moment of silence.
Everyone saw that Duke Qian, while claiming not to allow a Heavenly Tribulation in Dijin, was actually showing favoritism.
But the common people and Jianghu figures all remained silent, their expressions complex. No one dared to speak up and offend a Seventh Realm member of the imperial family in Dijin.
Unless... "We're not competing anymore, this old geezer is cheating!" Shang Qinqing threw her melon seeds on the ground.
"You shameless old man, hetui!" Murong Xiao spat towards the sky, then quickly hid behind Abbot Huai Kong.
"Brother Li, forget it. He's like this, let him win!"
Xiao Qin shouted to the stage.
"Junior Sister Ying Bing, say something."
"Yeah, let's not play with them anymore."
Several people looked at Ying Bing, but found that she remained silent, her dark eyebrows furrowed, and the Taiyin Divine Intent also appeared behind her.
On the stage.
Without the fierce Heavenly Tribulation, the suppressive might of the Eight Wildernesses Six Harmonies Seal reappeared.
"Wu Chang Post... Duan Buping... Zhan Long Sword Technique..."
One after another, Pifu's Sword techniques were reflected in his mind, shining brightly.
However, even if these sword techniques were all at the Transcendent Realm, none of them could resolve the current situation, unless he immediately brought out his hammer treasure.
"Li Mo, focus."
At this moment, a familiar and pleasant voice suddenly sounded in Li Mo's ear.
He did so without hesitation, even though he had done so many times before.
But this time, it was different.
One after another, sword rhymes seemed to come alive, countless times clearer than before.
Countless figures flashed before his eyes, all of them people who had left their sword rhymes within the God Sword.
What he saw now was what Ying Bing saw when she held the sword.
