Chapter 738: Chapter 739: Clash of Ten Thousand Swords

Swordsman Chu Fengmian’s words had suddenly rendered the place deathly quiet.

All the martial artists in Tianyu City, upon hearing his statement, were simply going mad, their hearts pounding with fear.

Chu Fengmian had not only killed a disciple of the Holy King Sect, but also a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect?

To provoke even one among the seven major sects was almost akin to walking a path to certain death.

And now, Chu Fengmian had not only drawn the ire of the Holy King Sect but had also managed to provoke the Heavenly Sword Sect by killing their disciples as well.

This was no longer arrogance; this was madness, the likes of which only a madman could commit.

"What is this guy trying to do, does he want to pierce a hole in the sky?"

One martial artist, looking at Chu Fengmian, saw him as a character who defied all laws of heaven.

Throughout the countless eons since the opening of the Ruined Heavens, nothing of this sort had ever occurred.

"What, Jian Cangqiong, did this lad also kill a disciple from your Heavenly Sword Sect?"

Hearing Jian Cangqiong’s words, Pan Chun, that very brother, also expressed his surprise.

He had thought that Chu Fengmian’s claim of slaying all disciples of the seven major sects was merely an act of boastfulness.

But now, it seemed not necessarily so, at least the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect had all perished at the hands of Chu Fengmian.

"Hmph, this lad just took advantage of my junior brother being alone and succeeded with a surprise attack. If I had been there at the time, I would have killed this boy right on the spot and torn his body into ten thousand pieces!"

Jian Cangqiong coldly stated.

"Torn into ten thousand pieces? That’s big talk, but he’s merely a defeated underling of Chu’s. What are disciples of the seven major sects in my presence? Wanting to kill you is no different than crushing a few ants underfoot. Today, whoever makes a move, I’ll kill them first!"

Chu Fengmian stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Jian Cangqiong, and laughed loudly as he spoke.

Every single word he spoke was the epitome of arrogance.

But indeed, Chu Fengmian also had the qualifications to be so arrogant, facing two of the seven major sects without an inch of fear.

Such domineering spirit was unimaginable for most martial artists.

"How dare you!"

Jian Cangqiong roared furiously, thoroughly enraged by Chu Fengmian’s mention of ’defeated underling’, which struck a nerve and infuriated him to the extreme.

Previously, he had tried to kill Chu Fengmian from a thousand miles away with his sword technique, but Chu Fengmian had easily neutralized it and even mocked him.

This had always been an immense humiliation in Jian Cangqiong’s heart.

Jian Cangqiong, being the number one person on the Hundred Absolute list in the central domain, even had a status above Gongsun Dao.

In the central domain of the Nine Domains, which was the most flourishing in martial arts, he was a true indomitable figure, a supreme powerhouse admired by everyone.

Yet, he had faced defeat in front of Chu Fengmian, especially in front of other disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

This had always been seen as his greatest disgrace, and during this period, Jian Cangqiong wanted nothing more than to kill Chu Fengmian and wash away this shame.

Now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, his disgrace being openly revealed, Jian Cangqiong felt both ashamed and furious, completely enraged.

"To dare kill a disciple of my Heavenly Sword Sect is a heinous crime, deserving of punishment by everyone. Today, I shall kill you first to appease the spirit of my junior brother in heaven!"

In the midst of speaking, Jian Cangqiong suddenly made his move, his aura fully unleashed.

Jian Cangqiong’s realm was even higher than Pan Chun’s, being at the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm.

The Spirit Sword in his hand burst with sword light.

The Spirit Sword in Jian Cangqiong’s hand was a Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact, and he himself was an extremely powerful Sword Cultivator.

This Spirit Sword, in his hands, was certainly capable of unleashing the most formidable power.

Sword Light flickered, as Jian Cangqiong suddenly unleashed his sword, which, though a single strike, split into ten thousand Sword Qi at the very moment it was cleaved.

A singe sword strike like ten thousand swords.

"Ten Thousand Layers of Sword! This is an extremely profound level of Sword Dao! To strike one sword capable of countering ten thousand swords is a realm that countless Sword Dao grandmasters struggle to comprehend, understood only by some old relics of the Heavenly Sword Sect. For Jian Cangqiong’s Sword Dao to have reached this level..."

Many Martial Artists gasped at Jian Cangqiong’s sword strike.

Ten Thousand Layers of Sword could indeed be considered the legendary realm within Sword Dao.

It was a level of Sword Dao mentality only understood by some old relics, and many of the Martial Artists present had never seen this realm before.

"Jian Cangqiong, truly a rare Sword Dao genius in a thousand years, this single strike alone proves his reputation!"

Countless Martial Artists exclaimed, all turning their eyes towards where Chu Fengmian was.

They wanted to see how Chu Fengmian would respond to this strike.

Especially since Chu Fengmian, as a fellow Sword Cultivator, was engaged in a true battle of Sword Cultivators.

"Ten Thousand Layers of Sword, not bad, but your Ten Thousand Layers of Sword has not yet reached perfection. Among your ten thousand swords, a thousand are void."

Chu Fengmian, upon witnessing Jian Cangqiong’s strike, nonchalantly spoke.

"What?"

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Jian Cangqiong’s face suddenly showed great surprise.

His Ten Thousand Layers of Sword had not reached perfection, with a thousand void among the ten thousand Sword Qi—this was something only he himself had known.

Even the closest Martial Artists around him were unaware, yet Chu Fengmian had seen it at a glance.

However, after a moment of shock, Jian Cangqiong’s face revealed countless cold smiles.

"A thousand being void, so what? I’d like to see how you defend against this sword!"

Jian Cangqiong, full of confidence in his heart, knew naturally as a Sword Cultivator which step of Sword Dao the Ten Thousand Layers of Sword had reached.

To grasp the Ten Thousand Layers of Sword was enough to signify that a Sword Cultivator had reached the pinnacle of Sword Dao.

Even if a thousand were void, it was still a peak.

But this hurdle would forever prevent Jian Cangqiong from being his match.

"How to defend? If even the thousand void swords can’t be blocked, what qualifications do you have to be a Sword Cultivator?"

Chu Fengmian disdainfully glanced at Jian Cangqiong.

His hand also moved with his sword.

As the sword fell, under Chu Fengmian’s Sword Edge, numerous Sword Qi burst forth as well.

Hundreds, thousands, ten thousand.

Under this single strike from Chu Fengmian, his Sword Qi also numbered ten thousand.

The sword Chu Fengmian deployed reached the level of Ten Thousand Layers of Sword.

Even tens of thousands of swords, all true.

Not a single Sword Qi was false.

These ten thousand Sword Qi swept across the sky, wildly clashing there.

"Hisss! Hisss!"

As Sword Qi battled in the sky, all the Martial Artists in Tianyu City were terrified.

Although both Chu Fengmian and Jian Cangqiong were Martial Artists of life-and-death realm,

their battle far surpassed the imagination of countless Martial Artists present, and being caught in even a small part of it meant certain death.
