Chapter 2872 - 103: Renowned Scholars Across the Land—Who Else Can Impress Me?
Upon first meeting in the Heaven Blessed Nation, amidst the wind and snow as firewood collectors, it was just you and I. I have a top academy, countless great scholars, a belly full of talent, and a handsome face, while you only have a broken sword.
Alas!
Among the widely famous, who else catches my eye?
Sometimes words are so pale, yet I can only record them in words.
How I wish you were merely visiting the Monster Realm.
And not me coming to the Monster Realm to mourn... old friend!
The inscription left on the Wu An City wall, rather than being the conclusion Xu Xiangqian personally carved with his finger dipped in his heart, is more like a distant wish.
Indeed, he had always been waiting for it to come true, but when the splendid divine skills truly reacted, at this very moment when this extravagant hope had a chance to realize—
It was too excruciatingly painful!
Covered in wounds and on the verge of death almost in an instant.
He lay back on the white snow, hearing the footsteps of death beside his ear.
The splendid divine skills were on him, he could certainly stop them at any time.
Unfulfilled wishes should remain unfulfilled.
But here in the Snow Ridge of the Sky Stele that suppresses all divine power techniques and can greatly curb the backlash, I, Xu Xiangqian, am in this condition, what situation is that old friend facing in the Monster Realm?
Enough, enough!
My poems and writings of Old Xu spread throughout the world, each word worth a thousand gold. Once inscribed, it cannot be retracted.
With my heartfelt wishes, I weave a brocade robe for you.
You, young Jiang, fulfill it well, do not tarnish the name of Ganma Mountain’s Two Pride!
What a pity, what a pity...
Looking through the vast snowstorm, finding no resting spot in the gradually distant sky. The divine light in his eyes thus gradually dispersed.
...
The gradually dispersing divine light suddenly condensed.
In the tumultuous Immortal Spring Water, opened angry and undying amber golden eyes.
Gurgle, gurgle.
The spring continued to emit such false and lonely sounds.
Beneath the brightly embroidered brocade robe with dragons and tigers, Jiang Wang briefly returned to consciousness.
How could he, after not knowing how many miles away from home, how many days away from the human world, feel safe in this Shenxiao World, hanging by a thread?
After a moment of stupor, he immediately realized what had happened and grabbed the collar, tearing off the brocade robe!
Arrogance beyond measure! An Outer Building weaving such splendid fabric? I take one hit, you die several times over!
Inside and outside the body, flesh and spirit were exposed!
Rather die than drag an old friend down.
His unshielded spirit and his extremely defined nude body were once again exposed in the Immortal Spring Water.
"Ugh!"
The agony of flesh and spirit dissolving made him grunt even with clenched teeth!
The powerful sword Qi erupted from this grunt, this sword burst into a riot of colors.
True Self Dao Sword, neither fame nor self is my true self!
This sword lifted the attacking Sword Qi, sword light, even the Divine Declining Power, elevating the tumultuous spring water, almost the entire Immortal Spring, directly pointing at Lu Qilang, the one crushing the Immortal Spring with a sword—
Praised by the world, can it be unshakable?
In the moment when the opponent was struck down in one sword, such a decisive counterattack was met in the next. Even for a formidable one like Lu Qilang, he had no choice but to keep increasing the power on his weakened previous strike. Suspended in mid-air, his body seemed to merge with the sword.
At this moment, his sharpness was fully exposed, the piercing light almost cutting vision
For the first time, the True Self Sword Qi clashed head-on with the World-Piercing Sword Light.
Dao Path collided directly with Dao Path!
At the same time, Jiang Wang’s unburdened spirit howled in agony within the Enshrine Spirit Hall. The surrounding Spiritual Field, spanning a thousand feet, spread out. Expressing Jiang Wang’s will, Jiang Wang’s pain, Jiang Wang’s determination, it expanded nearly infinitely!
"Not good! He’s going to self-destruct his spiritual sense!" Lu Qilang, sensing the danger first, withdrew his sword and retreated, warning Zhu Lanruo.
Zhu Lanruo, who never approached the Immortal Spring from beginning to end, was far on the mountain path, filled with doubt. This Jiang Wang, surviving so many life and death situations without giving up, would he really self-destruct his spiritual sense now?
Lingxihua, who had not received any warnings, was not foolish. Seeing Lu Qilang retreating sword in hand, winds rose underfoot, heading swiftly towards the mountain platform while holding a broken-arm wound.
At this moment, all Sword Qi, sword lights, Immortal Spring Water, were elevated into the sky by a single sword.
Standing at the bottom of the Immortal Spring, the scarred naked body of Jiang Wang flickered in the firelight. Each wound a testament to battles. Each muscle line a daring sword move.
Born naked, we shall return to nakedness.
At this moment, his spiritual sense overwhelmed everything, his majesty shook the Divine Mountain.
Shooting stars crossed the sky, flame flowers filled the spring, Flame Sparrows and Bi Fang clamored.
The fire field had already expanded to its limit!
...
...
Xu Xiangqian knew very well what he had to face when continuing to support the splendid fabric. A drowning person is most dangerous, because the survival instinct will entangle anyone nearby, dragging others to death together.
If he gave boundless support to the splendid fabric, the drowning person clutching this life-saving straw would certainly demand endlessly until thoroughly consuming him, until he exhausted everything and could no longer provide strength.
Yet in the vastness, he seemed to see that young man traveling alone with a sword for tens of thousands of miles, casually tearing off the brocade robe he had draped over him, continuing into the storm with a sentence—
"You’re too weak."
This made his eyes, which had been slowly closing, open again in anger!
I, Xu Xiangqian, declared as the foremost talented scholar west of Snow Country, the most handsome north of Mugu. Just because the precious sword lies in its case, the edge untested, how dare you, an ignorant youth, underestimate!?
