Chapter 240: Episode : The Legend of Immortality (XIV)

A group of martial artists stared at the mountain path infatuatedly.

The leaders and masters of the major sects, no matter how smart they were, couldn’t help but become sluggish in their thinking at this moment.

Over the past twenty years, the rivers and lakes have changed, and the deep valleys have become hills. The changes are so complicated.

However.
Even though everything has changed, I have never seen anything like this.

The geniuses from all factions are eagerly waiting.

They had heard of a legend about a man who was the best in the world, and the elders of various factions used it as an example to inspire them to make progress.

Now, the legendary figure mentioned by the elders is about to appear before our eyes.

No matter if it was Chi Chenzi from Emei Sect, Fei Hongzi from Kongtong Sect, Wang Ye from Wudang Sect, Lu Yanxiu from Taishan Sect or Dongfang Xiaoxian who was standing with his brother, all of them were staring at the mountain path divided by the mountain fog and sword.

The old man Dian Cang’s eagle eyes were extremely sharp, and he wanted to verify the person who was about to appear with the one twenty years ago.

He was focused and never relaxed at all.

suddenly
The dark pupils dilated slightly, and a blurry green light suddenly appeared!

The shadow came so unexpectedly.

The green shadow appeared in Eagle’s eyes, just like an ordinary person seeing his shadowless sword.

The lens in the eagle’s eyes widened outward, squeezing out several blood threads.

Only then could I vaguely see the green shadow flashing.

The eyesight he used in just a brief moment was the most intense effort he made this time when he came down from the high cliff.

Despite this, the blue-clothed figure that appeared on the mountain road leading to Tianshan Sword Tomb was still so abrupt.

This is true for Shang Sufeng.
In the eyes of the people from all corners of the world, they didn’t know when a figure appeared on the mountain road. It was obvious that the person appeared without blinking.

Everyone held their breath, wondering if they had been in a trance just now.

Many people shook their heads secretly.

They regained consciousness and took a closer look to see the person’s appearance. With just one look, the usually thick-skinned gangsters suddenly forgot to breathe.

And their eye sockets couldn’t help but dilate.

this.
How is this possible!!!

The incredible emotions filled Tianshan Mountain almost instantly, and with it came a dead silence.

“Head!”

Many Hengshan disciples came together to greet them, and the four true disciples were all there to greet them.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow that woke up all the martial artists.

The mountain mist ruffled the old man’s white hair, but his eagle eyes lost five points of their sharpness and became a little dull.

Looking at the face of the man in green, an inexplicable emotion suddenly brewed in my heart.

More than twenty years ago, he met the young sword god.

It was that blow that led to his current success.

But it’s hard to imagine
When we met again more than 20 years later, when he had already turned gray with white hair and beard, it was still possible to see the shadow of him from the past without much effort.

Shang Sufeng originally thought that he would have to look for the figure of a young man in a middle-aged face.

Who could have imagined that it would be such a picture!
There are indeed some techniques in the world that can help maintain beauty, but they are only slow in effect. I have never heard of anyone who can truly keep their face young.

No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot escape the erosion of time.

This is common sense in the world.

but
He would never be wrong.

The young man who appeared on the mountain path was no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

But unlike the geniuses from the major sects, this young man naturally exudes a bearing, the indescribable aura between his movements, and his eyes that are as deep as a deep pool, these are not something the younger generation can possess.

He came down from the Tianshan Mountains, and his seemingly peaceful and calm face gave people a huge sense of pressure.

There were many people from the north and south, the grasslands outside the Great Wall, and the western region of the Snow Mountain. No matter how powerful they were, no one dared to look directly into those eyes.

Everyone was extremely shocked!
The legends of Jianghu are as evergreen as pine and cypress and as immortal as green mountains.

He didn’t need to show off his swordsmanship, but once he showed up, people would have endless fantasies about his current skills.

In the crowd, Dongfang Xiaoxian and Yang Juncai were stunned for a moment.

Yes. It’s that person!

The mysterious young man in the Liangducheng Inn turned out to be
Dongfang Xiaoxian, who was usually calm in the face of difficulties, felt her heart beating rapidly after seeing the number one in the world.

It dawned on her.

Why did the other person seem young at the time, but always spoke in the tone of an elder?

No wonder I can’t see through him.

The sword god who can make a great figure like the master never forget him is truly unique and rare in the world.

Dongfang Xiaoxian recalled the words the other party left when he left Liangdu Inn that day.
She stared at the man in green and whispered:

“The smoke and water are vast, how many times have we traveled through time and space?”

Suddenly, she felt a sense of vast silence that she had never experienced before.

To the extent that she seemed unaware of what Yang Juncai was muttering beside her.

Many people in the martial arts world were immersed in the mood of waiting for the evergreen pines and cypresses a second ago, and the next moment, they were all dazzled.

The young man on the mountain path took a step forward and was several feet away in the blink of an eye.

I don’t know what kind of unpredictable movement this is. It seems like lightning and thunder, but there is not such a big noise, and there is no sign of accumulating power. It seems as if he just walked out, and it should be like this.

The young man took steps forward and came down the mountain path.

Just these few steps made all the martial artists in the martial arts world confused. Their previous understanding of the ultimate martial arts became nothing more than empty talk.

It’s like a frog in a well, suddenly seeing the vast sky outside the well.

Especially those geniuses from various factions, they were surprised and shocked, and trembling with excitement.

They have more aspirations and expectations in their martial arts life.

Zou Songqing stood there in a daze, as if he was under a spell and couldn’t move.

This… This is the Sword God.
He had been collecting information in Dian Cang Sect for so many years, and for the sake of his master’s determination, he had never missed any rumors about the Sword God.

Although he has never been out of Dali, he may know more about Xiaoxiang than some local people in Hengzhou Prefecture.

But he could never imagine that the day he met the Sword God would be like this.

If he met him by chance on the road, he would definitely not believe it.

Such a young man has been the best in the world for more than 20 years.

And the master, he has to fight against such a legendary and extraordinary person.

When Zou Songqing regained consciousness, the green shadow in his eyes had already appeared about ten feet in front of his master.

Old man Dian Cang stared at the person in front of him, stroked his beard and sighed, but he was speechless for a while.

Even if it is a profound truth, there are times when one becomes absent-minded.

Seeing this, the young man asked with a smile: “Mr. Shang traveled thousands of miles to find the way to Hengyang, which moved me so much. Why is it that when we meet, you only sigh and don’t say anything?”

His voice was not loud, but somehow, everyone could hear it clearly.

There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in the words.

It is hard to find someone in the world who dares to speak to a master of the truth in this way.

At this time, even the six bold and curious Taogu Immortals did not say a word.

It was the first time that Yan Anshun saw the six masters being so honest and polite.

On normal days, they would have jumped out to talk nonsense.

Shang Sufeng responded after hearing this:

“I haven’t seen you for more than 20 years, but the Sword God is still as handsome as before. I can’t help but sigh.” “Looking back on the past, I feel sad. I didn’t expect that I would meet a strange man during my trip to Longquan. I am really lucky.”

The young man said calmly, “Time flies. Don’t talk about luck. More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Many things in those days have faded away. The sword case and pen bed have long been foreign objects. Seeing those things from those days always makes people look back at the past.”

As he spoke, he looked at the old man Dian Cang and saw that he had a head full of white hair and was in his twilight years.

The teasing tone in his words just now also faded away.

Shang Sufeng smiled for the first time when he heard this.

“The Sword God’s power is as good as that of nature, and his appearance never ages. I thought I saw the young Sword God again, but I never thought that time is ruthless. Even if I can forget everything in the passing of time, it will still leave some traces.”

The implication is that although he is not old, his heart is not that of a young man.

“It’s like this when you see things pass away. I’m naturally not the same person I was when I first met you.”

The two talked to each other and reminisced about Longquan more than 20 years ago.

Both Shang Sufeng and Zhao Rong had special feelings.

Many people in the martial arts world only heard the sense of vicissitudes of life, but could never understand the thoughts of the two people.

Shang Sufeng faced the figure in front of him that he had been thinking about for a long time, and said with a calm tone:

“The reason I have this false reputation today is mostly due to the misunderstanding of people in the martial arts world, and I have borrowed the title of Sword God, and I have always felt guilty.”

“It’s just that I haven’t mastered the art yet, so it’s hard to get down the cliff, which is why I’ve been delayed until today.”

The young man couldn’t help but smile and praised:
“Mr. Shang has indeed realized the profound truth.”

He added: “However, if you are looking for me for this matter, there is no need.”

Old man Dian Cang shook his head, his expression becoming serious again:

“Do not.”

“Today I came to Hengyang to seek the sword god and ask for the sword.”

“Everyone in the world wants to know where the pinnacle of martial arts is, but no one asks. I have been sitting on a cliff for more than 20 years, and I also want to know the answer.”

“And I was unwilling to accept my defeat of Jian Longquan 20 years ago.”

He paused for a moment, and then continued, “It is even more difficult to glimpse the power of the Sword God today, but where the heart leads, the sword points, and victory or defeat is irrelevant. It is also the twilight years of my life, I do not want to waste it, I just hope to have no regrets.”

After hearing this, everyone felt a sense of desolation.

But everyone can understand the decisiveness.

For the secret of Dian Cang, everyone had admiration, gratitude and even sighs.

Even if a master of Miaozhi were to ask for the sword here, he would still not see any chance of winning.

Their minds were in a mess, thinking about this and that.

At this moment
A voice woke everyone up.

“In that case, then draw your sword.”

This is the voice of the number one person in the world.

And this sentence makes people feel inexplicably heavy.

What kind of courage does it take to draw your sword against such a legend in the martial arts world?
But ask yourself, do you dare?
When many people in the martial arts world were feeling guilty and fearful, they heard the clear sound of a sword “clang”!
Old man Dian Cang drew his sword without any hesitation!
“I’m sorry for showing my ugliness.”

He was decisive and as soon as he finished speaking, he pushed his Fiery Sun Power to its limit.

Immediately, the long sword was covered with red light.

It’s the scorching sun!

Shang Sufeng could tell from his opponent’s movements and momentum that he would most likely only have one chance to attack.

Then the strongest sword must be stabbed out this time!
The goshawk on the high cliff flapped its wings and took off. The strong wind it created made its white beard and hair flutter, and the clothes behind it rustled, stirring up the mountain mist!
Others were astounded at Dian Cang Miaozhi’s power.

They all widened their eyes, wanting to see the Sword God’s move.

They would never blink and would definitely take in this rare exchange of moves.

Everyone seemed to be on edge, just like Shang Sufeng.

but
The sword god on the opposite side still had no intention of drawing his sword when Shang Sufeng had accumulated his strength to the extreme.

Old man Dian Cang’s eyes wandered, constantly looking for flaws in the young man.

Is there no flaw?
Have.

It seems like there are countless flaws.

But these flaws make people feel extremely dangerous.

Staring at the long sword on the opponent’s waist, he held back all his strength and asked in a concentrated voice, “Sword God, are you not going to draw your sword?”

“The sword does not need to be held in the hand, it is enough to have it in the heart.”

This response was something that no one could understand.

The flames on Shang Sufeng’s sword became more dazzling. He glanced at his sword with his eagle eyes: “A swordsman has a sword in his heart, so how can he be without a sword in his hand?”

Yes!

A living sword or a dead sword, each has its own object. If you have no sword in your hand, how can you perform your moves?
However.
Just as they were thinking this, an indescribable aura suddenly emerged from Zhao Rong.

“When the mind and sword become one, the man is the sword and the sword is the man.”

“Any grass or tree can be transformed into a sword, and any external force can be transformed into a sword move.”

Others simply cannot understand such obscure words, it is simply a fantasy.

at this time
The eldest senior brother of the Emei Sect, Chi Chenzi, suddenly lowered his head and stretched out his hand to press the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Taoist Master Wang Ye of the Wudang Sect picked up the long sword engraved with the Tai Chi totem in his hand in surprise, and his sword was shaking.

Dongfang Xiaoxian, Lu Yanxiu, the disciples of Qingcheng Temple, and many martial artists from the Five Mountains sects were all shocked.

The sword moves!
How can the sword move?

Could this be what the Sword God meant by the unity of mind and sword?

The Sword God’s true energy is transformed into form, without any shape or form, and can actually mobilize tens of thousands of swords!

What kind of skill is this!
Old man Dian Cang’s heart sank. How could he not feel the slightest movement on the sword? It was clearly the other party’s extremely superb method of transforming his true Qi into something external.

Although he couldn’t understand it, he didn’t back down.

With a wave of the long sword in his hand, it suddenly became invisible and elusive, and with full strength, he stabbed out with the sword!
The people in the martial arts world could not see through this invisible sword.

But just when old man Dian Cang stabbed the Sword God, they finally saw through it.

The sword did not get close, but strangely stayed outside the Sword God!

It was as if there was an invisible wall of air that blocked the most powerful attack from Master Miaozhi!
No matter how powerful this invisible sword is, it cannot penetrate it!
The sword shone brightly, piercing the air wall, colliding with each other to form a flowing blade. Indistinctly, the two streams of energy intersected, and a little bit of fire flew backwards along with the white hair of the old man Dian Cang!
This strange scene of flowing blades like fire is far better than the sword clothes of Kunlun Snow Mountain.

The people in the martial arts world were stunned.

At this moment
Everyone only saw the blue-robed sword god’s clothes move slightly, and his sword finger was like a sword, slashing down from the air.

An inexplicable power spread out!
The group of martial artists on the mountain road seemed to sense a life-and-death crisis, and at the moment their hair stood on end, they dodged to the sides in panic!

It seemed that after the crowd moved away, an invisible sword slashed down from the air!
I heard a loud “boom”!

Sword energy flew across the sky, debris from the cliffs flew, rocks shattered, and a huge cut mark was left on the mountain road!
The invisible air wall was broken at that time.

Shang Sufeng, who was originally in the center of the sword energy, might have been cut in half by the oncoming sword energy, but at the moment the air wall was broken, a huge force burst out and knocked the sword out of Shang Sufeng’s hand.

He wiped away a few strands of white hair and barely managed to save his life.

There was confusion in the eagle eyes of old man Dian Cang, and he did not look at the long sword that flew out of his hand.

Like all the other martial artists from all over the world, he stared at the sword marks on the ground.

There was residual sword energy in the sword mark, and ice crystals formed on some dead trees, rotten leaves and rocks.

Without restraint, the energy forces turned into mist.

In a moment
The Tianshan Mountain Road is covered with mist and clouds, recreating the magnificent scenery of the Three Heavens of Mist Mountain
