Outside the Elixir Garden, a carriage arrived late and slowly parted the crowd. Then the audience saw a slender figure lift the curtain and get off the carriage. He walked up the steps and onto the Elixir Garden. In his hand was an ancient sword with a simple scabbard.
In the past hundred years, the way of the sword had never been popular. There had never been a young swordsman who could learn invincible swordsmanship just by finding a secret manual. This was all thanks to Li Chungang's sword style. Đồng Thái's swordsmanship was beyond that of the ancients. Of course, there was also the Dongyue Sword Pool's swordsmanship. Every new sword produced by the Sword Pool was a treasure that all Jianghu swordsmen dreamed of. However, in the field of swordsmanship, Western Shu had always been an anomaly. There was a saying that "the older the sword, the more precious it is". Among the top three swords of Shu, except for the "Earth Skin Zi" that had accompanied the Sword Emperor of Western Shu out of Jianghu, the "Way of Shu" and the "Thunder Box" had never fallen out of the top ten swords in the world.
No one knew who was the first to recognize the name of the ancient sword. For a while, everyone was talking about the "Way of Shu". Everyone knew that after the fall of Western Shu, the sword had been sealed in the Tide-listening Pavilion for many years. Finally, it had seen the light of day again.
There were also some tactful spectators who were about to kneel down and kowtow to the young man when they saw him. However, when they were halfway through their words, they realized that everyone around them was rolling their eyes at them. They could only give up and swallow their flattery.
Northern Liang had the blood of martial arts flowing in their veins. In the eyes of most of the common people and Jianghu people, since this new Prince Liang had come with a light carriage, he didn't want to put on airs of killing the eldest son. Instead, he wanted to have a fair competition of martial arts. This was not the Central Plains, where the fist was the only thing that mattered here. Otherwise, why would it be said that the civil officials of Beiliang could defeat the generals of Liyang imperial court with one hand? The reason why the Beiliang people were able to tolerate the numerous general-class families and the twenty years of oppression was also because of their natural disposition. It was true that those general-class children had committed crimes, but who asked their fathers to be generals who had rolled out from a pile of corpses? It was also a skill for others to be reincarnated into a good family. If they were not reincarnated into a good family, there was nothing to complain about. The most important thing was to let their children be reincarnated into a good family in the future.
Probably because he had waited for too long, Sui Xie Gu yawned and his snow-white eyebrows fluttered in the wind.
Apparently, Hsu Fengnian wanted the Ancestor Eater Sword to wait a little longer. After entering the Pill Seed Field, he didn't show any signs of fighting immediately. Instead, he leaned his sword on the ground and placed his palm on the hilt. This kind of appearance, in the eyes of the spectators outside the field, could really be counted as the so-called Yue Zhi Yuan Chi expert's demeanor. The Beiliang people's internal strife was fierce, but their degree of xenophobia was no less inferior. Compared to the unfamiliar old man who didn't carry any weapons, they naturally felt closer to this prodigal who had turned over a new leaf and was once known as "His Royal Highness". Therefore, when Hsu Fengnian appeared on the stage, there was a burst of cheers and applause.
Sui Xie Gu, whose Qi flowed like a magnificent waterfall, looked around and finally stared at Hsu Fengnian.
A battle between experts was a battle of strength, battle of Qi, battle of wits and battle of courage. Ultimately, it was still a battle of the heart.
Sui Xie Gu wanted to ask this young number one person in the world who was the "strongest". Naturally, he wanted to fight to his heart's content. This was also what the old man was puzzled about. If the Tide-listening Pavilion restricted the movements of both parties, wouldn't the Pill Seed Field be even more restricted? However, since the kid had called for a battle here, Sui Xie Gu couldn't be bothered to reject. After all, if the innocent were to be implicated, it would be the people under this guy's rule. Sui Xie Gu had been in the Jianghu for almost a hundred years and had always been alone. There was nothing to be concerned about. Sui Xie Gu was not a magnanimous person. If he made it clear that Hsu Fengnian didn't know the severity of the situation and insisted on putting on a show, Sui Xie Gu would definitely kill him. As for whether the enigmatic Xu Yanbing would chase after him for thousands of miles, or whether the Beiliang's 300,000 strong cavalry would chase after him, why would Sui Xie Gu care? If he really wanted to argue, the Sword Eating Elder was more worried that the old lady from the Guanyin Sect would hold a grudge against him. However, that was all.
Hsu Fengnian looked at Sui Xie Gu in a daze. Thinking back to the time when he was following the old man in the sheepskin fur coat, when he first heard that an expert could travel hundreds of miles in an instant, it was like hearing a heavenly book. When he reached the top step by step, especially when he was a Celestial Being, he was able to look down on the Mysterious Celestial Phenomenon of the First Grade Level Four. He also had a unique understanding of the mysteries of martial arts. The Sword Eating Elder in front of him was not the same as the average martial artist. He was a little similar to the young Martial Granduncle who rode the bull. He walked the path of the Heavenly Way and his root was the creation of all living things. Although the path was the same, there was a difference in the width of the path. Hong Xixiang's path was obviously wider. However, Sui Xie Gu used the sword to seek the Dao. Ever since Sui Xie Gu picked up the sword, he had spent a total of eighty years cultivating it meticulously. Whether it was the flow of blood and Qi, the circulation of Qi in the organs and lungs, or the opening and closing of the cardinal acupuncture points, all of them were at the peak of perfection. Rather than saying that the old man used the sword to seek the Dao, it was more accurate to say that Sui Xie Gu had already used the Dao to develop the sword. This was probably the reason why Sui Xie Gu dared to challenge Wang Xianzhi. The old man's physique and martial arts were not as high as Wang Xianzhi's. However, as long as Wang Xianzhi did not dare to claim that he was superior to the Heavenly Way, then both of them would have a chance.
At this moment, there was a white rainbow that came from tens of thousands of miles away and crashed into the Pill Garden.
Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes to avoid the dazzling light. When they slowly opened their eyes, they did not know why there was still nothing strange in the Pill Garden. The old man with snow-white eyebrows was still there, and the new Prince Liang, Hsu Fengnian, was also calm. Other than that, there was nothing else on the Pill Garden.
However, Sui Xie Gu seemed to be angry and grunted.
Hsu Fengnian, whose palm was placed horizontally on the sword hilt, suddenly smiled, as if a knot in his heart had been untied.
