Chapter 1006: Nine Elders, One Youngster
to take one back and give it to Li Changxiao, Master Li!"As soon as they heard the name "Li Changxiao," both Lü Zisu and her brother's expressions changed, clearly indicating that they had heard this...Witnessing the starkly contrasting states of these two individuals, for a moment, it left all onlookers unable to determine who had triumphed in their recent sword clash.
Not until some moments later did Kenjūrō finally make a move.
He then saw him slowly insert the sword, its hilt covered in cracks, back into its scabbard.
However, just as Jin Jian's sword was about to be fully sheathed, a sharp and clear ringing sound suddenly echoed!
In the sound of swords clashing, there was a surge of unwillingness and resentment!
It is clear that the sword has come to life!
After doing all of this, Kenshi raised his head and looked at Gyouun. "I lost!"
Although I don't know why you didn't kill me, I have always disliked owing favors to others, so I'll give you a piece of advice!
You possess sword intent, and it has long since taken shape. However, your mastery in the way of the sword stagnated the very moment your sword intent materialized.
"I know you're looking for a sword spirit, but I can tell you this: instead of seeking a sword spirit, you should focus on understanding the heart of the sword!"
"I hope that the next time we meet, you will have the heart of a swordsman!"
After finishing his words, Jian Sheng's figure suddenly shot into the sky and flew towards the heavens.
Even Jiang Yun did not make a move to stop his departure, still standing there almost in a daze, allowing Jian Sheng's figure to pierce the sky and leave the Wilderness World, withdrawing from this great battle.
Evidently, Kenshiro came here not to help the Daoist Master, but for his own kendo.
Since he had already been defeated by Jiangyun, there was naturally no need for him to stay here any longer.
"Ginger, are you alright!"
At this moment, a member of the barbarian tribe rushed to Jiang Yun's side and asked with concern.
Only then did Jiang Yun wake up as if from a dream, coming to his senses and shaking his head gently. However, there was still a trace of bewilderment and confusion in his expression.
The previous sword strike, imbued with a sliver of temporal power from the Zhànjiàn Tiānhuáng, had given Jiāng Yún the opportunity to kill Jiàn Shēng. However, Jiāng Yún chose not to strike.
Besides the fact that Jiang Yun truly admired Jian Sheng's swordsmanship and couldn't bear to kill him, a more important reason was that just now, the figure from the talisman of substitution given by his second senior sister appeared in his mind.
At that moment, the figure overlapped with Kagemitsu's in front of him perfectly, not even a slight difference!
This also made him suddenly realize that figure was Jian Sheng!
Although he already knew that within his own sect, both his master and his senior brothers and sisters had secrets unknown to him.
But he never expected that the figure hidden within the substitute talisman crafted by his second senior sister, Situ Jing, would actually be Jian Sheng!
This also means that not only are the second senior sister and Jian Sheng acquainted, but their relationship must be quite close!
Otherwise, how could Second Senior Sister have incorporated the swordsman's image into her talisman!
That's why Ginger Cloud gave up the opportunity to kill the swordsman.
And Jian Sheng's words before leaving, naturally Ginger Yun heard them clearly, understood in her heart, that was Jian Sheng's repayment for his own non-killing.
My kendo skills have indeed stagnated for a long time.
Besides searching for the Sword Spirit, it was also because no one guided me on my journey as a sword cultivator.
Even, he didn't know what to do next.
Besides, with all the knowledge I have accumulated, and sword cultivation not being my only path, I haven't paid much attention to this matter.
But Kensei, by doing so, had just pointed the way for his next step as a swordsman!
A realization of the sword heart!
Above the sky, seeing Jian Sheng leave, Jiang Yun was carefree. Huang Junyan also slowly withdrew his gaze and said to himself: "If this Jian Sheng doesn't die, he will surely be a generation master in the future!"
Even within the Hall of Divine Slay, Daozun who witnessed all this also nodded and said: "The ancestor of the Sword Sect, truly lives up to his reputation!"
The Jianzong mentioned by Daozun hasn't been born yet in this ancient era, but rather exists in reality as one of the Nine Great Sects, Jianzong!
Of course, Jiang Yun wouldn't know that within this illusory realm, the Jian Sheng he had defeated today would become the ancestor of the Jianzong, one of the Nine Great Sects, in reality!
In silence, Jiang Yun once again raised his head to glance in the direction where Jian Sheng had disappeared. He suppressed the doubts in his heart about the relationship between the other and his second senior sister, silently turned around, and walked in another direction.
All around, it was a battlefield. The three clans and the cultivators of the Temple of Killing Gods were engaged in a life-and-death struggle!
All manner of spells and supernatural powers emanated multicolored rays, filling the vast expanse of the wild lands;
Shouts and explosions of anger or pain, rising and falling incessantly;
Blood, flesh, and limbs, flying everywhere!
Although the war has only just begun a few hours ago, the number of lives lost has already exceeded hundreds of thousands!
However, those who died were only some cultivators with relatively low strength.
The true powerhouses have yet to determine a winner between themselves.
Amongst a sea of blood, the continuous left and right assaults of Man Shang were relentless. Despite his cultivation being inferior to Xue Dongliu's, he could still manage to withstand him with the power of the Boundary Master.
Man Swallows Heaven held a five-colored spear in his hand, and fought with the evil old coffin wielder in a earth-shattering battle.
Hun Cang had transformed into his true form, within the swirling clouds a shadowy figure of his inner demon, Mo Xiao, loomed large and imposing, unmoving like a mountain.
Lü Piaomiao, with nine reincarnation avatars, trapped the incorporeal soul that had become transparent!
Above the sky, fifty-four Sky Piercers had already exploded nine, and the Golden Sword and Checkerboard surrounded by them were also destroyed one-third.
In the distance, Tianluo was still commanding the battle in an orderly manner, while Huang Junyan stood beside him, his eyes fixed intently on the Temple of Slaying Gods.
Jiang Yun didn't know how long this war would last, nor when the Dao Zun and that mysterious commander would appear. All he could do was continue to rescue and fight!
Fortunately, looking at the overall battle situation now, the three major tribes hold a clear advantage, and the balance of victory is gradually tilting towards them.
If at the beginning, both sides were evenly matched in terms of power and numbers, now, the three clans, relying on the power of the Nine Blood Chain Formation, have already suppressed the God-Slaying Temple.
If this trend continues, even if top experts like Dao Zun remain undefeated, they will all become lone wolves in the end. The ultimate victory will still belong to the three major clans.
However, Jiang Yun did not notice that at this moment, several fissures appeared again in the sky above the desolate land.
From every crack poured forth a multitude of cultivators.
Within the fissure, a large number of cultivators surged out. Among them were nine white-haired elders, surrounding a young woman in white who was stunningly beautiful!
These ten people blended into the crowd. Not only did Jiang Yun not notice them, but even the cultivators of the three major clans near them only glanced at them once.
After all, as the battle had dragged on to this point, the three tribes had long known that the Pantheon of God-Slayers was continuously sending reinforcements onto the battlefield in this way.
Of course, these people must all be reinforcements from the Temple of Slaughter.
But just as these ten people appeared, the cultivators of the Slaying God Temple, who were originally on the verge of defeat, or to be more precise, had been suppressed by the Nine Blood Chain Formation of the three major clans, suddenly began a frenzied attack!
Even Jian Sheng, who was alone on the battlefield surrounded by many cultivators from the Divine Slayer Temple, increased his attack intensity.
Faced with their frenzied attacks, the three major tribes naturally retaliated without mercy, leading to this battle reaching a small climax.
At the height of the chaos, those ten elders and one young man quietly melted into the tumultuous battlefield.
Their demise was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, making not even the slightest ripple!
However, at this moment, a strange sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Ginger Cloud's heart!
