Lin Guanyu charged out from the explosion, a layer of white aura flame burning around his body, protecting him from being injured.
His gaze was sharp and he swung his sabre incredibly quickly, destroying Zhou Xuanji’s Six-path Sword Shadows in an instant.
Zhou Xuanji once again rushed forwards, and the two of them started to fight with their sword techniques and sabre techniques in the air.
Zhou Xuanji held two swords in his hands and attacked incredibly quickly, countless sword images emerging in innumerable succession.
On the other hand, even though Lin Guanyu was only using one sabre, he had the advantage and continuously forced Zhou Xuanji back.
Even though the two Glorious Gold legendary swords could make up for some of the difference in cultivation, it was still very difficult for Zhou Xuanji to defeat Lin Guanyu.
However, he was not worried, as he still had his trump card.
He took this opportunity to use Lin Guanyu as a whetting stone for himself!
He would also develop the God-Emperor Sword and White Dragon-bone Swords’ power through the battle.
Zhou Xuanji started to use all kinds of sword techniques, starting to turn the tide of the battle around.
White Crane Sword Technique!
Fiery Sword Technique!
Thirty-six Paths Jade Xiao Sword!
Tri-source Vein Severing Sword!
Soul-eater Slash!
Moonlit Wind Sword Dance!
Tempest Slash!
Zhou Xuanji’s sword techniques were innumerable and he freely changed between and connected sword wills. Soon, it was Lin Guanyu who was being suppressed.
In other people’s eyes, Sword God Zhou’s sword art was incredibly pleasing to watch, and always shook their vision.
He continuously moved about Lin Guanyu’s surroundings, with sharp and domineering sword light flashing about.
“So powerful! Zhou Xuanji is already an existence at the level of the Beiba Blademaster?”
“He’s so amazing, this is Sword God Zhou. Every time he appears, his strength greatly increases!”
“Looks like Lin Guanyu is in trouble!”
“Do you see that? He’s ranked first on the Northern Wilderness Genius Rankings!”
“Heavens, don’t tell me Sword God Zhou can really kill Lin Guanyu.”
“Look, even the Emperor looks shaken!”
Within the Royal City, countless cries and shouts sounded out.
Lin Guanyu was not from Great Zhou, while Zhou Xuanji was their Prince, so the crowd was able to easily pick a side.
Moreover, everyone who had come from elsewhere came just to see a battle like this.
If it wasn’t for Zhou Xuanji, why would they come?
In the air, Zhou Xuanji changed between sword wills at will, causing his battle style to become unchanging and unpredictable. Lin Guanyu felt a massive headache; it was the first time he had faced an opponent like this.
“He only has Astral Projection cultivation, so why is his strength and speed no inferior to mine?” Lin Guanyu thought to himself as he gnashed his teeth. Could it be that Zhou Xuanji’s swords were extraordinary?
No matter what, he had to kill Zhou Xuanji!
Otherwise, he would not be able to avenge his little sister’s death, and his reputation would plummet.
After thinking this, the speed of his sabre suddenly increased!
Lin Guanyu’s right arm danced wildly, causing sabre qi to blast out, and sending Zhou Xuanji flying back.
Lin Guanyu put his left hand on the hilt, gripping his sabre with both hands, while his aura greatly increased.
In that moment, the entire world seemed to freeze; the clouds stopped moving and the wind stopped.
Lin Guanyu stared at Zhou Xuanji fixedly and said, “You’re indeed very powerful, but after taking a life, you must pay with your own life. Don’t blame me!”
After saying this, he slashed out with his sabre.
A sabre light flashed out!
Everyone instinctively closed their eyes, including Yang Zhongtian, Zhou Yalong, and Daoya Old Man.
Zhou Xuanji also closed his eyes, but his hands did not stop.
He directly unleashed the Sky Dominating Divine Sword ahead of him!
The peerless sword technique of an ancient Sword Emperor!
Zhou Xuanji slashed out with both swords, advancing courageously with a momentum that seemed to be able to charge through all obstacles.
In that moment, he was the Hegemon Sword Emperor of the Nine Emperors in the Way of the Sword!
Boom!
The sword qi and sabre qi collided, stirring the sky, clouds and sea. Wild gales blew about and the Ascension Stage shook as countless structures within the Royal City trembled.
As people looked up, they saw that both people had a wave of aura streaming behind them, that cut across the sky.
Zhou Xuanji’s purple clothes fluttered in the wind, and even though his eyes were closed, his aura was not any weaker than Lin Guanyu’s.
Lin Guanyu’s expression worsened. That was his most powerful sabre technique. Even though it was not elegant, it was deadly. How did that boy block it?
At that moment, Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes.
“This sword technique is called the Sky Dominating Divine Sword, the sword technique that the Hegemon Sword Emperor used to dominate the world. Have you seen it before?” Zhou Xuanji calmly asked as he looked at Lin Guanyu, his voice travelling into everyone’s ears.
Sky Dominating Divine Sword!
Hegemon Sword Emperor!
Zhou Xuanji had obtained the legacy of the Nine Emperors of the Way of the Sword!
Lin Guanyu’s expression fell—the Hegemon Sword Emperor’s legends were resounding, and Xian Xianghua’s father had been suppressed by the Hegemon Sword Emperor his entire lifetime. He was the end of the legend.
After the Hegemon Sword Emperor ascended, there had never been such a peerless and unrivalled person ever again.
Emperor Yan of Zhou frowned as he looked at Zhou Xuanji; his gaze became somewhat complicated.
He had imagined how mighty this boy would be after he grew up, but never thought that they would be so unfamiliar with each other.
Zhou Yalong’s expression darkened.
If Lin Guanyu was defeated, who would protect him?
After seeing Zhou Xuanji’s power, he knew that he was not a match for him at all.
“I’ve obtained the legacies of the Sky-sundering Sword Emperor and Hegemon Sword Emperor. Even though their sword techniques are unable to make me submit cheerfully, they’re more than enough to deal with you,” Zhou Xuanji said as he pointed his sword at Lin Guanyu and laughed proudly.
He had purposefully said these things as he did not want to be marked as the legatee of the Hegemon Sword Emperor.
Sky-sundering Sword Emperor!
Lin Guanyu’s expression became even more gloomy; just how many behind-the-scenes supporters did Zhou Xuanji have?
After all, Lin Guanyu had to ascend sooner or later. If he killed Zhou Xuanji and met the Hegemon Sword Emperor and Sky-sunder Sword Emperor in the future, how would he explain himself?
With their powers, it was possible that they would know what was happening in the mortal world.
The saying that ‘there are gods watching three feet above’ was not unfounded.
At that moment, Zhou Xuanji suddenly took out other legendary swords.
Crimson Dragon Sword, Frost Wave Sword, Bloodbath Sword, Tiger Roar Sword, Windcutter Sword, Swineculling Sword, Golden Rock Sword, Heaven Sound Sword, Hell King Sword, Residual Image Sword, Thunderclap Sword, Formless Sword, Furious Ape Sword, Chicken Slaying Sword, Water Driving Sword, Falcon Sword, Magnetic Sword, Ghost Curse Sword, Bookcutter Sword, Sky-sundering Emperor Sword, Storm Calmer, Living Snake Sword, Crazy Paralysis Sword, Falling Petal, Soft Velvety Sword, Divine Crane Sword, Phantom Sword, Hegemon Jiu, Dream Sword, Wicked Song Sword, Dog Culling Sword, Ten-thousand Firewood Sword, Truth Sword, Snakeskin Sword, and Frost King Sword…
30 or so swords appeared behind him, all of them pointing towards Lin Guanyu.
Zhou Xuanji directly unleashed the Ten-thousand Sword Dragon Incantation, causing the swords to all condense dragon-shaped sword qi that coiled around the blades.
The scene was incredibly majestic, causing countless people’s blood to boil in excitement.
It was here!
Sword God Zhou’s most famous sword technique was here!
No one knew what this sword technique was called, but it was very powerful and very cool!
No matter who saw it, they would be completely fascinated.
“Could it be that Lin Guanyu is really going to be defeated?”
“No wonder why he’s so heaven-defying; even two of the ancient Sword Emperors were convinced by him!”
“It’s said that Sword God Zhou can achieve the sword will of an Earth Grade sword technique in a single day. With this kind of talent, even the Nine Emperors of the Way of the Sword can compare to him.”
“Can you not make up nonsense like that? Even though I admire Zhou Xuanji, wouldn’t talent like that be way too far-fetched?”
“So domineering! It’s said that Zhou Xuanji’s goal is to have 10,000 swords fill the sky; do you think he can do it?”
Everyone in the city excitedly discussed amongst themselves, and many people flew up, wanting to see more clearly.
Zhou Xuanji rushed towards Lin Guanyu, all of his swords tightly following behind him.
A white dragon coiled around the God-Emperor Sword and the other dragon-shaped sword qi was behind it, as if it was following a dragon king.
Lin Guanyu stopped thinking to himself and started to slash out with his sabre.
He had to kill Zhou Xuanji today, no matter what!
He would worry about everything else after!
Clang!
The sword and sabre clashed, and Zhou Xuanji smirked. All of the swords seemed to have souls of their own as they furiously hacked and slashed at Lin Guanyu, making him completely at a loss as to how to respond.
