The sun was setting in the west, and the sunset glow was as red as fire and blood.
Outside the Heavenly Phoenix City Lord's residence, it was very lively. There were lanterns and colored banners everywhere, and the lanterns were brightly lit. It was as if phoenixes were flying together, shining together with the sunset glow.
With the City Lord's residence as the center, the city guards were distributed ten miles away, sealing off the area and guarding it.
Outside the city guards, many people had gathered. They were all here to watch the fun. Even if they couldn't get close to the City Lord's residence and participate in the banquet, standing here made them feel as if they were participating in the banquet.
The banquet held by the Heavenly Phoenix City Lord's residence for the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden was about to begin.
This banquet was named Morning Phoenix Banquet.
It was so grand that it wasn't as simple as a banquet. It was also related to the selection of the guards and even the Blazing Phoenix Guards.
Because of this, the competition for the ten name cards was so intense.
But now, the dust was finally about to settle.
The crowd surged, and suddenly, more than a dozen people strode over and squeezed through the crowd. Walking in the middle was a woman in green clothes, carrying two blades on her back. She looked so valiant that someone recognized her.
Autumn Leaf Saber Hu Die!
The dozen people around her all had powerful auras. There were Eight Stars, Nine Stars, and even two Ten Stars. They were like guards protecting Autumn Leaf Saber Hu Die, escorting her.
Why was this so?
Because Hu Die had obtained a name card. With the name card in hand, she could participate in the Morning Phoenix Banquet.
However, on the way, it was inevitable that she would be targeted by others, coveted, and even robbed of her name card. This was not impossible. The later it was, the crazier it would be.
With more than a dozen people escorting her, two of them were Ten Stars cultivators, and they were very intimidating.
Under the escort of more than a dozen people, Hu Die stepped into the circle of the city guards. From now on, she didn't have to worry about her name card being stolen.
Hu Die subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
This period of time could be said to be lived in fear. Now, it was finally better and she could participate in the Morning Phoenix Banquet.
The Blazing Phoenix Guards didn't have gender restrictions.
Moreover, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden was someone he greatly admired. Being able to meet her was an extremely good thing.
A figure concealed all of his presence as he silently moved through the crowd. He was extremely low-key, and it was difficult for him to attract anyone's attention. Soon, this person arrived at the area where the city guards had sealed off the entrance. He took out a name card from his bosom, and after passing the verification process, he stepped into the encirclement of the city guards.
As soon as he entered the encirclement, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
One by one, the people holding the invitation cards were either escorted by the crowd or sneaked in stealthily.
At this moment, an extremely powerful aura moved horizontally like an ancient mountain. As it moved, the void seemed to emit a rumbling sound. It was extremely shocking. The crowd was also pushed away by that shocking aura.
They saw an extremely muscular figure walking towards them. Every step he took gave off the feeling of an elephant stomping on the ground. It was as if the entire street was shaking.
This person was more than two meters tall. He had bronze-colored skin and wore a short robe. His muscles were bulging, and every muscle seemed to be made of steel. His eyes were like a tiger's, and they contained an astonishing power.
A terrifying fluctuation of Qi and blood was spreading out from his body, impacting the surrounding air and forcibly repelling it.
That vigorous Qi and blood was like a huge furnace that was burning fiercely. The aura that was released was extremely shocking.
As soon as he appeared, it alarmed everyone in all directions. It made people feel as if they were close to an oven. Their bodies were blazing hot as if they were about to combust.
Back off!
Back off!
One by one, they gave way to him.
"Divine Strength Vajra!"
"He's here too."
"Rumor has it that he has also obtained a name card."
Exclamations continued to ring out. This Divine Strength Vajra seemed to be a well-known figure.
That's right. In the Ancient Phoenix Domain, the Divine Strength Vajra was a well-known expert with the combat strength of the limit of the ten-star level. His amazing record was that he could take a hundred moves from an eleven-star expert without being defeated.
To be able to take a hundred moves from an eleven-star expert with the combat strength of the ten-star level was very amazing. After all, the gap between the ten-star level and eleven-star level was very obvious.
The reason why the Divine Strength Vajra could do this was because his bloodline was extraordinary. His divine power was self-generated, and he was also a body refiner. He could fully exert his divine power and display it to the extreme.
Under the divine power, it was as easy as crushing dry weeds. Experts with the same level of combat strength would find it difficult to break the defense of the Divine Strength Vajra and cause him harm. However, if they were hit by his divine power, they would be directly injured or even blown apart.
No one dared to stop the Divine Strength Vajra because according to the news, the Divine Strength Vajra had directly smashed a name card holder in the Phoenix Battle Arena to obtain the name card. He had also accepted two challenges to keep the name card. In those two challenges, one was killed and the other was injured. The one who died died in a miserable state, and the one who was injured would not be able to recover without half a year to a year.
His valiant record made people not dare to provoke him.
Like a giant, he walked over and took the name card. After checking it, he stepped into the sealed area and walked towards the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion. His back view looked incomparably tall and strong, giving off a feeling that he could crush an army of a thousand.
Not long after, another person walked over. He was wearing golden armor and holding a golden spear with dragon patterns. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were as bright as the stars. His aura was astonishingly condensed. He walked with a majestic gait, as if he could challenge all the experts in the world with a single spear in his hand.
Golden Dragon Spear!
This was the person's title.
This person was also an expert with the combat strength of the limit of the ten-star level. His Golden Dragon Spear Technique was extremely tyrannical. It was sharp and overbearing. With a spear in hand, he could penetrate and destroy everything. He was invincible.
One genius expert after another came. Chen Zong also walked over with a name card and a long sword at his waist.
The battle with Tantai Baimu proved that Chen Zong's strength was powerful. He was at the limit of the ten-star level. The confrontation with the Heaven Sword Baili Wuyun, although they did not fight because of Ye Tianfeng, Tian Liuyun, but it also made Chen Zong's reputation spread far and wide. The title of Chen Zong's Unparalleled Sword was also spread and widely known.
After that, another person came to challenge Chen Zong. It was a sword cultivator with the combat strength of the ten-star level. In that battle, the sword cultivator tried to kill Chen Zong. Instead, he was killed by Chen Zong with a single sword strike. This further demonstrated Chen Zong's illustrious reputation.
Fame was earned through fighting.
Challenges, temptations, promises, and so on. Chen Zong experienced a lot in these three days. In the end, the name card was still in his hands.
Now, Chen Zong came with the name card to participate in the Morning Phoenix Banquet.
All eyes were fixed on Chen Zong.
"That's him."
"Chen Zong who calls himself the Unparalleled Sword."
"Unparalleled Sword, unparalleled among swords. What a big tone."
"Extremely arrogant, extremely ignorant."
Voices continued to sound, and there was a lot of discussion.
Chen Zong was not affected in the slightest, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
The Unparalleled Sword!
In the outer universe, this was a representative, a model, and was recognized by the universe's will. You don't recognize it?
Are you stronger than the universe's will?
However, in the inner universe, the Unparalleled Sword was not recognized by the universe's will. It was not even recognized by the general public. In the end, it was indeed Chen Zong who called himself that.
Well, at least in the inner universe.
He called himself Unparalleled!
Chen Zong was not a high-profile person, and he was not a person who liked to be in the limelight. He only did this in order to find Yu Nianxin better.
Yu Nianxin knew that his title in the outer universe was Unparalleled. If she heard him use the Unparalleled Sword as his title, she would know who he was.
He had to be prepared.
In addition, in the depths of Chen Zong's heart, there was something that even he was not aware of. It was a kind of fighting spirit, a fighting spirit to confront the strong, and a spirit to use the strong as a whetstone to hone his own fighting spirit.
By using the name of the Unparalleled Sword, he would attract more strong opponents and save himself the trouble of looking for them one by one.
Well, Chen Zong wouldn't admit this, because even he himself wasn't aware of it. It was as if his subconscious had revealed itself.
In any case, in short, the name of the Unparalleled Sword had been released, and it was impossible to take it back. Otherwise, it would tarnish his sword heart and destroy his path of swordsmanship.
Therefore, he could only hold the sword and walk forward. He would kill anyone who stood in his way.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Zong's footsteps became firmer and firmer. His figure became straighter and straighter, like the edge of a sword pointing to the sky. A surge of sword essence was surging, but it did not break out of his body. Instead, it kept surging inside Chen Zong's body, as if it was being tempered thousands of times in a furnace. Finally, when Chen Zong took the name card and stepped into the blockade, the sword essence also broke the original limit and rose to a stronger level.
Chen Zong's original understanding had allowed him to break through the limits of his basic swordsmanship and reach a new level. It had gradually begun to influence his sword will. Now, under the countless doubtful gazes and voices, his determination had been further strengthened. Finally, the quantitative change had led to a qualitative change. He had taken that step and broken through the limits, causing his sword will to break through.
The moment the sword essence broke through, the crowd stared at Chen Zong's back. It was as if they saw a huge illusory sword shadow soaring into the sky, but it also seemed like an illusion.
One by one, they came with the name cards. Every one of them had gone through several challenges and various temptations. Finally, they came with the name cards to participate in the Phoenix Banquet.
Walking to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, which was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, he took the name card again and handed it to the butler of the City Lord's Mansion, who had been waiting for a long time.
"I wonder which Heaven's Pride is here?" The butler of the City Lord's Mansion took a look at the name card. After confirming that it was a real name card and not a fake one, he looked at Chen Zong with a smile, and his tone seemed to be somewhat respectful.
"Unparalleled Sword … Chen Zong!" Chen Zong replied unhurriedly and even told him his name.
"So it's Chen Tianjiao. Please come in." The butler was startled at first, but then he smiled. No matter what he was thinking, at least on the surface, it was impossible to tell. He still had a cordial look.
As soon as the butler finished speaking, a tall and beautiful maid immediately walked over. After bowing to Chen Zong, she led Chen Zong into the City Lord's Mansion.
