Chapter 1522: Chapter 1520: Challenge (Third Update)
"Ancestor, this..."
Qing Yun looked at the Shu Mountain Ancestor with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"It seems that the Heart Sword has indeed succeeded, truly reaching that level!"
The Shu Mountain Ancestor’s eyes flashed with excitement.
"Ancestor, are you referring to Wan Jian Gui Zong!"
One of the seven Supreme Elders suddenly spoke up.
"That’s right, it’s Wan Jian Gui Zong!"
The Shu Mountain Ancestor’s gaze gleamed with brilliance.
At this moment, another rumbling sound echoed, followed by countless sharp swords soaring into the sky. This time, it was not Sword Qi but real swords.
A full ten thousand swords coiled in the void, forming a terrifying spectacle and exuding immense power.
Just then, a figure rushed out from the collapsed peak, directly hovering among the myriad swords.
This figure had handsome features, sword-like eyebrows reaching straight into the sky, and eyes that were cold, emotionless, without any trace of feeling.
With a wave of his hand, all the swords in the void danced in unison, transforming into streaks of light under his control, entering his body and disappearing.
The youth erupted with overwhelming Sword Intent, his eyes shooting Sword Qi like two sharp swords piercing the void, tearing it with two fissures.
Soon, the Sword Intent on him vanished, and the Shu Mountain Ancestor appeared directly before him.
"Heart Sword, you did not disappoint me!"
The Shu Mountain Ancestor spoke to this youth, who was the Heart Sword, the hidden Sword Path Genius of Shu Mountain.
"Heart Sword greets the Ancestor!"
Heart Sword bowed and said.
"Heart Sword, it seems you’ve comprehended Wan Jian Gui Zong, reaching a new height in the Profound Mysteries of Sword Dao!"
The Shu Mountain Ancestor spoke.
"Ancestor, I have only just begun to grasp the true essence of Wan Jian Gui Zong, my understanding of the Sword Dao remains at a primary level!"
Heart Sword said in an indifferent tone.
"No need to be modest. With your current understanding of Sword Dao, there aren’t many who can oppose you in this world, but I still need to test your strength!"
The Shu Mountain Ancestor said in a deep voice.
"How does the Ancestor wish to test?"
Heart Sword said with an indifferent expression.
"Qing Yun, send out the message: Heart Sword, Shu Mountain’s top genius, challenges Xiao Yifeng, the number one prodigy in the Martial Arts World!"
The Shu Mountain Ancestor said directly.
Qing Yun was surprised upon hearing this from the Shu Mountain Ancestor, his eyes flashed with a complex expression, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, Ancestor, I will arrange it now!"
In Yanjing, within the villa where Xiao Yifeng resided, he was fast asleep when suddenly his phone rang, startling him awake.
"Hello?"
Still in a daze, Xiao Yifeng reached for his phone and answered.
The next moment, Xiao Yifeng’s eyes shone brightly, instantly fully awake, sitting up.
"Interesting, I understand!"
Xiao Yifeng’s lips curled into a mischievous smile as he hung up the call.
"Shu Mountain’s top genius, huh!"
Xiao Yifeng murmured to himself, chuckling softly.
It was Jian Yun who had just called him, informing him about the challenge issued by Shu Mountain. The entire Martial Arts World now knew about Shu Mountain’s challenge to Xiao Yifeng, causing a stir.
Once regarded as the number one Sect in the Martial Arts World, Shu Mountain’s strength was formidable, but later Xiao Yifeng had challenged the Sect, killing six of the seven Peak Masters of Shu Mountain and defeating its seven Supreme Elders.
Finally, he left Shu Mountain freely from the Ancestor’s hands, severely diminishing Shu Mountain’s prestige and momentum. Now, with Shu Mountain suddenly reissuing a challenge to Xiao Yifeng, it naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the Martial Arts World.
Especially the sudden emergence of Heart Sword, Shu Mountain’s top genius, intrigued many because they had never heard of any top genius named Heart Sword from Shu Mountain before.
And this Heart Sword dared to challenge Xiao Yifeng, piquing everyone’s curiosity about Heart Sword’s true strength.
Without a doubt, the entire Martial Arts World is now focusing on this challenge, eagerly anticipating Xiao Yifeng’s appearance. Only then will this dragon-tiger battle be worth watching; however, whether Xiao Yifeng will appear remains uncertain.
At Shu Mountain, atop a peak beside Tian Shu Peak, a figure sat cross-legged, it was Heart Sword, surrounded by countless Sword Qi.
This Sword Qi formed a formidable defensive barrier, anyone approaching would be shredded into fragments by the countless Sword Qi.
At this moment, Shu Mountain was surrounded by a large crowd, all from various sects of the Martial Arts World. Those who hadn’t reached the Void-breaking Realm gathered on the surrounding peaks, while those who had reached the Void-breaking Realm stood in the void around, all eyes on Heart Sword.
It was obvious they were here to witness this great battle, while those at the Void-breaking Realm gazed at the terrifying Sword Qi surrounding Heart Sword with hearts shaken, their eyes filled with shock and fear, feeling as if any random Sword Qi could tear them apart.
Indeed, Shu Mountain’s top genius was no ordinary being; just the Sword Qi surrounding him could annihilate all of them.
The Shu Mountain Ancestor and others stood on the plaza of Tian Shu Peak, silently waiting for Xiao Yifeng’s appearance.
"Ancestor, will Xiao Yifeng appear?"
Qing Yun asked the Shu Mountain Ancestor.
"With his personality, he is bound to show up!"
The Shu Mountain Ancestor replied directly.
"Can Heart Sword be a match for Xiao Yifeng?"
Qing Yun asked with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"I don’t know!"
The Shu Mountain Ancestor’s expression remained indifferent, showing no emotion.
"Who wants to challenge me?"
Amidst everyone’s anxious waiting, a roguish voice rang out, it was Xiao Yifeng who had arrived.
Immediately, all eyes turned to Xiao Yifeng in the void and then back to Heart Sword.
"He really came!"
The Shu Mountain Ancestor’s lips curved into a smile.
"Are you the so-called top genius of Shu Mountain, Heart Sword?"
Xiao Yifeng glanced at everyone present, finally setting his sights on Heart Sword, who sat at the peak, surrounded by countless fierce Sword Qi, his lips curling into a playful smile.
Shing!
Heart Sword’s eyes snapped open, and within them, it seemed like two sharp swords shot towards Xiao Yifeng, as if penetrating his soul.
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes narrowed, his right eye brightened like a sun, a golden light bursting forth, charging towards Heart Sword.
Boom!
The Sword Qi around Heart Sword moved, condensing into a radiant Sword Qi that collided with the golden light, unleashing a terrifying burst of energy, ripping the surrounding void apart.
