"Want to be king? Did you ask me first!"
Suddenly, a voice echoed in all directions, shaking the entire hall with a roar!
A melodious voice came from all around, impacting the vast hall.
Instantly, all eyes focused on the figure, faintly visible outside the hall. Fierce gazes scanned the ethereal silhouette from top to bottom.
"Presumptuous! Who dares to disrespect the current King from outside the hall!"
A mighty figure, wielding the Moon Shadow Pinnacle Moon Axe, strode forward, unleashing the power of the seventh layer of Innate strength.
This person's face was grim, his eyes ablaze with ferocity, and his voice was chilling and piercing.
*Ching!!*
A streak of starlight instantly flashed within the hall, without any dazzling display, merely a simple sweep.
*Bang!!*
A head instantly landed on the bluestone floor, a fountain of blood gushing upwards, splashing throughout the hall.
Innates at the seventh layer, who among them was not a top-tier Innate powerhouse? They widened their eyes but couldn't discern where the streak of starlight came from or where it went.
All they could find was the crisp sound of the falling head and the powerful spurt of blood. Su Dan Novel Network.
Everyone's hair stood on end, a strong sense of crisis locking onto the hall. They were filled with dread and remained silent!
"Who are you, playing games? The current King of Wu Kingdom is here, why don't you kneel and surrender!"
Jian Ying gripped his treasured sword tightly. When that cold gleam flashed through the hall, the long sword in his hand trembled faintly, cracking with small fissures.
This was a Sword Dao Grandmaster. Just a single sword qi strike was enough to suppress his sword, causing it to hum and tremble.
Jian Ying's voice spread out. A half-step Grandmaster, the foremost general under Ji Shu, now had his eyes flashing with a dark emerald light. The tightly gripped sword trembled faintly.
*Boom!!*
A streak of starlight shot straight up towards the heavens, appearing out of nowhere in the void. Like a venomous snake, it oozed starlight, shaking layer upon layer of the void!
*Bang bang bang!!*
*Clang clang!!*
*Crack crack crack!!*
All the long swords in the hall shattered, unleashing a river of sword qi spanning the nine heavens.
*Boom!!*
As the sword qi dispersed, all the officials spat blood, their qi in disarray. A Grandmaster's strike shook heaven and earth; those below Grandmaster were like ants.
"So strong!!"
Jian Ying was shocked. This person had not revealed his true face, nor could his movements be traced. In essence, this river of sword qi was merely a preliminary move; the true killing blow had not yet been unleashed. All the officials in the hall had lost their ability to resist.
Including himself!!
"Hiding in the shadows, a sneak attacker, and you dare to show off to me!"
"How audacious!!"
"Today, I will personally bestow death upon you!"
"I will take your heart's blood to celebrate my great thousand-year undertaking!"
*Hummm~~*
As soon as the words fell, Ji Shu's scarlet pupils in his brow suddenly opened, sword qi swirling and raging, igniting waves of blood, radiating red light, utterly bizarre.
*Tsha!*
Instantly, dozens of sword qi streaks shot into the sky, flashing with a dark red light, madly lancing towards the river of sword qi.
The streak of starlight in the void, divine light dazzling, stirred up ten thousand zhang of sword qi, momentarily spanning the hall, crushing all the dozens of dark-light sword qi streaks that shot forth, dissipating them completely!
Ji Shu's tightly closed eyes suddenly shot open. He carefully observed the ten thousand zhang of sword qi hanging in the hall. He could hardly believe that his slight power could not even dent its edge!
After devouring Chen Tai Sheng's life's heart blood, all the Mu Yang Yuan Qi cultivation stored in the secret scripture was released, and he directly entered the eighth layer of Grandmaster.
In the thousands of years of the Wu Kingdom, had there been anyone else who could reach this realm? He was unparalleled in history and unmatched in the future.
But at this moment, dozens of spurting sword qi streaks were all scattered. He couldn't believe it. The current strongest in Wu Kingdom, and the one who could catch his eye, was the mysterious Governor of Jizhou, Shan Xiong Xin.
But who was this expert who suddenly appeared in his hall and had yet to reveal his true face?
Calculating in his mind, his right hand suddenly moved to the pupils of his brow. Blood flowed, and light was chilling.
A blood-red skeletal long sword instantly shot out from the pupils of his brow. The skeletal long sword flickered, and inch by inch, it was covered with dense, blood-red maggots.
"Die!"
Ji Shu roared, and scarlet Yuan Qi rapidly surged out from his body, covering the skeletal long sword in his hand. Gripping it tightly, his eyes narrowed, and he thrust it towards the ten thousand zhang of sword qi in the void.
*Hummm~~*
The ten thousand zhang of sword qi, stirring up chaotic sword light, directly slashed out, striking towards the charging Ji Shu.
*Boom!!*
A skeletal long sword instantly struck the ten thousand zhang of sword qi, a hundred times larger than it. The two collided, stirring up howling winds, shattering bluestone. The vast hall was instantly engulfed in ten thousand zhang of dust, obscuring the sight of the onlookers.
Jian Ying was at the center of the battle. As he burst out of the smoke, both his arms were gone. His entire upper body was exposed bone, dripping with blood.
Jian Ying, the leader of the Twelve Guards, a half-step Grandmaster, Ji Shu's foremost subordinate, didn't even have a chance to attack. He didn't dare to touch the edge of the power. Merely being slightly affected by the battle had left him half-dead, reduced to a cripple.
The onlookers stared at the tragic scene, recoiling in fear. Some couldn't even stand straight, leaving bloody smudges on the bluestone slabs.
As the dust settled, the magnificent and resplendent hall had vanished, replaced by a deep pit several meters wide.
Looking up, two figures flashed within the dust.
One had sharp eyebrows and star-like eyes, wearing a black, form-fitting long shirt, with a three-foot sword at his waist. He stood steadily in the air, only his extended right middle finger wrapped with streaks of sword qi.
What?
He hadn't even drawn his weapon. All along, he had relied on the sword qi in his palm to contend with everyone. Even when clashing with Ji Shu, he hadn't drawn the three-foot Azure Peak sword at his waist.
A mere flick of his finger produced ten thousand zhang of sword qi. One could imagine how powerful this person was!
The crowd was utterly astonished. Even Ji Shu, standing opposite Jing Ke, had blood seeping from his sword-wielding hand, his bones even exposed.
His trembling hand dripped fresh blood, seeping into the skeletal long sword, which glowed with a faint scarlet light.
Ji Shu's expression changed, and his heart was in turmoil. Who was this person? Even the skeletal long sword, hidden within his secret scripture, had been summoned, yet it hadn't harmed him in the slightest.
Even Chen Tai Sheng of the Tian Gang Sect had not lasted until he summoned the skeletal long sword. This person's strength was extraordinary, and he could even subtly and steadily suppress the Mu Yang Yuan Qi hidden within his body.
When did such a powerful individual appear in this Wu Kingdom? First Shan Xiong Xin, and now the man standing before him, both were powerful and not to be underestimated.
