"Yan Chunhui?"
This name is so warm, it doesn’t really seem like the name of a Human Demon.
But what Jiang Wang thought of was something else.
Among the Three Swords Summit of Feijian, Xiang Qian inherited Xiang Fengzhi’s Myriad Sword Dao, this he knew. Yu Beidou just mentioned that the Selfless Sword Dao belongs to the first Human Demon Yan Chunhui. Besides this, there was another peak flying sword skill named "Selfless."
And the fist technique that the War God Jiang Mengxiong was famous for is named "Selfless Killing Fist," which Wang Yiwu once used to confront Jiang Wang.
The names of this swordsmanship and fist technique are so similar, it’s hard to say there’s no connection between them.
Then recall Xiang Qian’s description that his master Xiang Fengzhi tested his sword skills all over the world, invincible in Dongzhen, and was just a battle short of reaching Beyond the Peak.
This battle, he chose to challenge his lifelong rival.
The result was that his flying sword, which intertwined life and cultivation, was shattered by a single punch... and he perished henceforth.
Xiang Qian, too, was shattered by witnessing this battle, and from then on became muddle-headed.
Who in the world, among those who use fists, could punch to death the invincible Xiang Fengzhi of Dongzhen?
In Jiang Wang’s limited scope of understanding, likely only Jiang Mengxiong could certainly achieve that, and perhaps the Great Martial Artist Wang Ao encountered in the Lost World might also be able to.
Could it be that Xiang Fengzhi challenged Great Qi’s War God Jiang Mengxiong back then?
If someone like this is who Xiang Qian will face in the future, the word "despair" is not surprising at all. It even makes sense...
"Are all the Three Swords Summit of Feijian now with successors in the present world?" Jiang Wang couldn’t help but ask.
Yu Beidou glanced at him: "You seem to care a lot about this?"
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and said, "If you want payment, then I won’t ask."
Yu Beidou: ...
"I have already said that the Selfless Sword Dao belongs to Yan Chunhui. As for the successor of Myriad Sword Dao, it was the once invincible Xiang Fengzhi in Dongzhen. Whether it is still inherited now, that I do not know. Such peak techniques are not easy to predict. As for the Selfless Sword Dao, well..."
He looked at Jiang Wang: "You truly don’t know?"
Jiang Wang half-probed and asked: "Is it related to War God Jiang Mengxiong’s Selfless Killing Fist?"
"This is something you still need to ask me? It seems you aren’t really in the higher echelons in Qi Country." Yu Beidou laughed: "The information you can know depends on your actual level... Our nation’s number one Inner Mansion is just a small arrest officer in Qi Country for a position of third rank!"
"I’ve served in Qi Country for a short time; it’s quite normal for me to be unaware of some things." Jiang Wang was unaffected by the provocation and simply said, "But I indeed haven’t heard that War God uses flying swords..."
"Such peak sword techniques that dominate an era naturally shine brightly. Some inherit their Dao and carry their name, that counts as illustrious. Some inherit and promote the Dao, that person and swordsmanship mutually shine and can be deemed dazzling. And there’s another type of person whose brilliance is so intense that they an overshadow its existence..." Yu Beidou said: "Jiang Mengxiong is such a person."
He sighed: "Before Jiang Mengxiong, how many peak techniques are truly worth mentioning?"
Jiang Wang didn’t expect that Yu Beidou would have such high praise for Great Qi’s War God. While he also highly regarded Jiang Mengxiong’s prowess, he couldn’t help but ask, "A peak technique isn’t worthy of mention?"
"In his early years, Jiang Mengxiong also dominated the world with a flying sword, roaming the Various Countries undefeated in the same realm. At the time of his fame worldwide, he thought the flying sword skill was outdated by the era, reaching the end of his path with nowhere to go. Thus, he shattered his sword into a fist and started anew, abandoning the Selfless Sword Dao and taking up the Selfless Killing Fist..."
Yu Beidou didn’t continue to recount Jiang Mengxiong’s legend; he changed topics at this point: "Therefore, among the Three Swords Summit of Feijian passed to the present, only one or two swords remain, and the Selfless Sword Dao is already gone."
Sure enough, the Selfless Sword Dao of the Three Swords Summit of Feijian belonged to Jiang Mengxiong!
Jiang Wang was now almost certain that the opponent Xiang Fengzhi challenged back then was indeed Jiang Mengxiong.
During the Flying Sword Era, the Three Swords Summit of Feijian that dominated an era inherently had an air of confrontation, as can be gleaned from their sword Dao aura. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Especially the Myriad Sword Dao, which claimed supremacy. Judging from Xiang Qian’s few sword swings, it was truly sharp and peerless, cutting down enemies as they came. From that, one can glimpse a little of the person Xiang Fengzhi was.
While Jiang Mengxiong directly negated the flying sword skill, even personally severing the Selfless Sword Dao also belonging to the Three Swords Summit of Feijian.
It isn’t hard to understand why Xiang Fengzhi considered him a lifelong rival.
But for Xiang Qian, who witnessed that battle back then...
If aiming at Jiang Mengxiong for the rest of his life, how could it not be despairing?
In terms of strength, Jiang Mengxiong is Beyond the Peak and is top-notch even among True Monarchs. Not long ago, he silenced Summer Country on Jianfeng Mountain.
In terms of influence, Jiang Mengxiong is Great Qi’s War God, Grand Marshal of the nation, head of Military Affairs Hall, substituting the Son of Heaven to command the first-ranked Sky-covering Army among the nine soldiers. In the hegemonic country of Qi, he’s only below Emperor Qi.
His personal martial prowess, current worldly authority, and military expertise are all top-level.
Moreover, such a top-tier powerhouse never rests, never satisfies, dares to abandon sword techniques that dominated an era at the peak, creating the Selfless Killing Fist anew, to climb even higher.
It’s terrifying having such courage; having such ability and truly treading a new path.
This is unquestionably a world’s powerhouse.
A high mountain with no visible end, even when gazing far!
Where’s the path to reach?
How can one not despair?
That’s why Xiang Qian drowned himself in wine and led a muddled life, truly seeing no hope!
However...
This escapist Xiang Qian, the fallen and confused Xiang Qian. Even when considering himself a failure, even when seemingly abandoning himself, he still lingered in the Eastern Region, lingered not far from Qi Country...
Then has that ray of persistence in his heart truly died?
Precisely not.
Precisely because he always sees Jiang Mengxiong as his target, he despairs!
If he truly gave up challenging Jiang Mengxiong, Xiang Qian, who could temporarily separate the Four Symbols with sword arrays, where wouldn’t he find glory? Going to any small country wouldn’t be difficult to be the top among the young generation.
It is the persistence that causes pain.
And fixing on an opponent like Jiang Mengxiong precisely demonstrates Xiang Qian’s innate pride.
Even if he is low as dirt, a high mountain resides in his heart.
The high mountain may be silent, but deeply contains great power.
Until Jiang Wang passed by, leaving behind a glimmer of light, igniting a flame, lighting up a reviving heart. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Hence, the Dragon Light Shooting Fight dares to be renamed.
Thus testing sword skills around the world, until one day—
"East Swordcuts Life and Death Gate!"
"Then..." Jiang Wang calmed his emotions, lifted his eyes to look at the hole in the dome, and asked: "Is this the power of Yan Dao?"
If the first Human Demon Yan Chunhui has the strength of True Monarch, it would explain why the Yong Country’s attack on the Reef Kingdom failed. Without the deterrence of a Yan Dao Realm expert, how could the weak Reef Kingdom withstand the Yong Country’s assault supported by Mo Gate?
Although Mo Gate supported Han Xu’s political reforms and significantly backed Yong Country, it obviously wouldn’t go to the extent of casually allocating Yan Dao experts for Yong Country.
After all, Yong Country is merely Mo Gate’s first attempt at a national system change, no matter how willing, the input still has a limit.
Yu Beidou shifted from a squatting stance to sitting, simply plopped down next to Jiang Wang, devoid of a superior aura: "If he were merely Dongzhen, how could he dare to attack me Yu Beidou with a sword?"
This statement was made blatantly.
But Jiang Wang just remained silent, neither agreeing nor mocking, seemingly not intending to expand the topic.
After a while, Yu Beidou proactively asked: "You’re not planning to inquire about what happened?"
"A predecessor once told me." Jiang Wang then said: "Before my sword can uphold my reasoning, it’s better I learn to keep my mouth shut."
Yu Beidou said meaningfully: "It seems you listened."
Jiang Wang’s tone was ordinary, without any hint of resentment: "How could I not listen?"
Yu Beidou smiled: "You’re truly a young man who absorbs lessons well."
"But to avoid being recalled in such a manner like the predecessor mentioned by you, I think I should explain a bit."
He looked at Jiang Wang and said: "Yan Chunhui’s sword attack, divine and ghost-like, extinguished all vitality; I couldn’t withstand it, let alone protect you. So I decided to ’kill’ you first, alter your fate, erase your vitality...
You can roughly comprehend it this way—
If you are like a small Fish in the river of fate, when you leap out of the water, to the river of fate, you would already be gone. This state at that moment is indistinguishable from death.
What I did was allow you to briefly leap out of the water. At the time of that sword attack, in terms of fate, you had already died. Therefore, the sword that obliterated vitality could not affect you. Now, I’m merely sending you back into the river of fate. You haven’t resurrected; you’ve returned. You didn’t die; you simply leapt out briefly during your journey in the river of fate.
Now tell me—
What did you see when you leapt out?"
