Chapter 120: Coming in droves, Heavenly Sword and Thunder (2-in-1)
After the night talk with Ning Qi, Taoist Longshan no longer had the worries he had before. He knew Ning Qi's character very well. Since Ning Qi said that he knew it well, he must have a way to deal with it.
Taoist Longshan gradually became calmer.
There was even some expectation of how his young apprentice would respond if Thunder Blade Master really came.
This naturally affected other Zhenwu disciples.
The others saw Taoist Longshan being so calm and thought he had received the approval of Master Tianjian, so they became secretly excited.
However, with the restraint of Luo Wentian, the Zhenwu disciples did not proudly spread the news everywhere.
Luo Wentian knew very well.
At such a critical moment, it is better to keep a low profile and be humble, otherwise you will easily become the object of others' jealousy.
He originally planned to select some outstanding disciples to go to Zhenxuan Sect in the near future, but now that something like this happened, he had to postpone it.
Time passes slowly.
The atmosphere in the martial arts world is rising day by day.
Countless eyes are waiting eagerly, and many people have even come to Qingzhou and even Zhenwu City from nearby.
Quite a few people feel that it is only a matter of time before the Thunder Blade Lord comes to challenge under the pressure of the general trend, and they have to occupy a position first.
In such an atmosphere, Zhenwu disciples also became a little nervous.
But unexpected.
The first person to set foot on Zhenwu Mountain was not Thunder Blade Master.
Instead, there was an unexpected guest.
"I have met King Zhenbei." Taoist Longshan brought many disciples to greet him.
He looked at the majestic middle-aged man and boy opposite him, and various speculations arose in his mind. He didn't know why King Zhenbei suddenly came with his young son. In this update of the list of heavenly beings, King Zhenbei was also a central figure, and he jumped from Ranking of Heavenly Beings climbed from ninth to seventh.
His solid record amazed everyone, and he defeated the Northern Barbarians so hard that they couldn't hold their heads high.
It stands to reason that King Zhenbei and Zhenwu Mountain have almost no intersection. The only time they met was when the demon sect heavenly people attacked Zhenwu Mountain last time.
King Zhenbei smiled and said:
“You are so polite.”
He has a very kind attitude.
Li Ling next to him saluted Taoist Longshan respectfully:
"Li Ling has met the real person. This time I came here to visit the real person. Please forgive me for causing any inconvenience."
When King Zhenbei saw this scene, he shook his head and laughed.
As a young boy, he is always respectful and polite to others, but when it comes to him, he is very naughty.
Taoist Longshan smiled and welcomed the two people in.
Haven't spoken yet.
King Zhenbei has already stated his intention in advance:
"I came here just to show Ling'er the elegance of Master Tianjian. I have no other intention."
He spoke very calmly. Although he was very majestic, he was actually quite easy-going and did not have the feeling of being superior.
Taoist Longshan suddenly understood.
He had made some guesses before.
Now confirmed.
He knew what King Zhenbei was talking about. Now that the matter between Lord Jinglei Sword and Zhenren Tianjian had become a hot topic, it seemed that King Zhenbei was sure that Lord Jinglei Sword would definitely come, so he came with his youngest son.
However, if you think about it, you will know that Li Ling most likely came here because of his request. Otherwise, with the strength of Zhenbei King, he would not be so interested in the battle between the two people at the end of the Heavenly Ranking, and would come all the way to Qingzhou. Come and watch the battle.
If it were the decisive battle between Sword Demon and Sun Chaser Sword King, it would be almost the same.
Taoist Longshan would naturally not refuse such a request. Although King Zhenbei took action to save his son, he also saved Zhenwushan in disguise. He had a clear grudge and was grateful to King Zhenbei.
"King Zhenbei is polite. You can just stay in Zhenwu Mountain. However, the matter has not yet been decided. I don't know if the old man from Tianjian is in the mountain."
Taoist Longshan just smiled bitterly.
Although I was grateful to King Zhenbei for his intervention, he couldn't reveal his old background at will.
King Zhenbei waved his hand and chuckled:
"It doesn't matter. If Lord Thunder Blade doesn't come, I can just take a break. Ling'er likes you Zhenwu Mountain very much."
There was a trace of determination in his eyes.
The last time he saw Master Tianjian take action, he knew just by looking at his sword intent that Master Tianjian probably wasn't the kind of person who liked wandering around. He was probably still cultivating in Zhenwu Mountain, which surprised him. What's strange is that, even though he sensed carefully, he couldn't feel any presence of Master Tianjian.
King Zhenbei couldn't help but feel helpless when he saw the visible joy on Li Ling's face.
Since taking Li Ling back home last time.
He then invited another swordsman ranked twenty-one on the list of gods, Sword Master Luofu, who was originally intended to be Li Ling's master.
Logically speaking, this Luofu Sword Lord is stronger than Tianjian Zhenren, but his swordsmanship never caught Li Ling's eyes. He even told himself privately that he was not handsome enough. After seeing the sword Hengkong with his own eyes, Li Ling seemed to be obsessed with it, and was only interested in the swordsmanship of Master Tianjian.
In desperation, King Zhenbei could only ask Luofu Sword Master to leave again.
This time, the list of heavenly beings was updated, and Li Ling was unmoved by his progress. On the contrary, he was extremely excited to see the real person Tianjian on the list. After learning about the increasingly fierce sword fight, he even begged the King of Zhenbei. Bring him to Zhenwu Mountain to watch the battle.
Simply because the Northern Barbarians have been quiet recently, King Zhenbei responded, and this trip to Zhenwu Mountain was possible.
now.
Li Ling's face was full of determination:
"I believe that Master Tianjian will be able to defeat the so-called Thunder Blade Master!"
All the Zhenwu disciples smiled, and their affection for Li Ling increased greatly. They could see that this little guy was a loyal supporter of Tianjian Zhenren.
At the same time, I was secretly amazed that King Zhenbei really doted on his young son.
King Zhenbei shook his head and laughed, casually chatting with Taoist Longshan.
Li Ling sat next to Ning Qi. He was the most familiar with Ning Qi in the entire Zhenwu Mountain. He liked talking to Ning Qi the last time he came here, but now there is Zhuang Chen beside Ning Qi.
"This is my tenth junior brother, Zhuang Chen." Ning Qi introduced.
Li Ling just smiled politely at first.
But soon.
He and Zhuang Chen chatted quietly. They both had the same love for kendo. After just chatting for a few words, they realized that the other person was the same person. They suddenly felt like they had met each other too late. Even Ning Qi was surprised. Was left aside.
Ning Qi just shook his head and laughed.
But he didn't care. He had been observing King Zhenbei ever since he and Li Ling went up the mountain.
His strength now has improved a lot compared to when he first met King Zhenbei.
That time he still needed to rely on the power of the fake elixir to suppress Elder Wang.
But now, it's easy.
In his perception, King Zhenbei's aura was restrained, deep, and extremely powerful. It was indeed the most powerful he had ever seen.
"But... it's not as invincible as I thought before. After taking a few more Blood Jade Pills, my Jade Sea will be further advanced and should be enough to compete with him." Ning Qi speculated in his mind.
He withdrew his gaze and listened to the chatter.
The King of Zhenbei was not arrogant, and even took the initiative to talk about some of the secrets of the Northern Barbarians, which opened everyone's eyes.
Taoist Longshan did not reject the arrival of King Zhenbei.
In a sense, this is a good relationship. If we can establish a connection with Zhenbei King, it can make the Zhenwu Sect more stable.
King Zhenbei and Li Ling settled in Zhenwu Mountain.
Except for going up the mountain on the first day, King Zhenbei rarely showed up after that. Instead, it was Li Ling who followed Zhuang Chen around Zhenwu Mountain. Li Ling met Yuan Tiansheng again, and the two of them made a fuss on Zhenwu Mountain. Li Ling liked Zhenwu Mountain more and more. He felt that it was much more comfortable than in the palace.
In Prince Zhenbei's Mansion, although his status was respected, he actually had few playmates of the same age. Prince Zhenbei spent most of his time guarding the Northern Barbarians and had no time to accompany him.
But in Zhenwu Mountain, the little fat Zhuang Chen was sometimes mischievous and did not treat him as the prince of Zhenbei at all. He and Bai Yuan would play tricks on him from time to time, leaving him disgraced.
Ning Qi saw it in his eyes.
He was originally a little worried that King Zhenbei would secretly look for traces of Tianjian Zhenren, but he was relieved after finding that King Zhenbei was just staying in the guest house. His senses about King Zhenbei were much better.
Ning Qi continued to practice calmly. The incident of Thunder Blade Master was not in his mind and could not disturb his mentality.
……
Time passes slowly.
The sword war in the world has finally reached a critical point.
Many people have noticed that the situation is getting out of control, and the calls for Thunder Sword Lord to take action are getting louder and louder. Finally one day, someone sees an old swordsman going to Jinglei Villa.
And then the next day.
A battle post was sent out.
Half a month later.
Invite Master Tianjian to fight in Zhenwu Mountain.
The Thunder Blade worships.
In an instant.
The atmosphere in the martial arts world is unprecedentedly high.
The swordsmen and swordsmen were all excited. Although they had been looking forward to it for a long time, people couldn't help but be excited when the thunder sword master's battle post actually came down to Zhenwu Mountain.
Countless people are waiting eagerly, and many people have already begun to place their bets.
Zhenwu City once again became a place of turmoil.
The duel between the strongest men in the Heavenly Ranking is extremely rare, not to mention that it also symbolizes a sword fight. Which side wins, the other side has to keep its tail between its legs at least in recent years and cannot speak forcefully.
At this time, there were rumors that:
"Swordsmen don't respect martial ethics. Someone gave Lord Thunder Sword a peerless sword. This is unfair."
The swordsmen were displeased.
The swordsmen retorted:
"If you are not convinced, you can also go find a divine sword for Master Tianjian. We will never say anything. When warriors fight, swords are also part of their strength."
The swordsmen were suddenly speechless.
I can only hope that there are seniors in kendo who can be powerful enough.
And in fact.
Someone did go to Zhenwu Mountain, and it was Li Ling's old acquaintance, Sword Master Luofu.
Looking at Sword Master Luofu with a bit of arrogance in the distance, Li Ling quietly complained to Ning Qi:
"I don't like him. I think he talks too pretentiously. He always has the feeling that his swordsmanship will be the best in the world sooner or later."
The King of Zhenbei invited Sword Master Luofu to come to the palace to teach Li Ling, but Li Ling was not interested.
Ning Qi chuckled.
He had seen the introduction of the Celestial Being List before. Sword Master Luofu was indeed young, less than 250 years old. His lifespan was equivalent to the eight hundred years in the Celestial Realm and was still as bright as the sun. His swordsmanship was very high and he had potential.
Sword Master Luofu put his hands behind his back and looked at Taoist Longshan:
"Master Longshan, go and invite Master Tianjian out."
There is something slightly natural about these words.
Longshan Taoist said:
"Please forgive me. Senior Tianjian is used to living in seclusion. If he is unwilling to come forward, there is nothing I can do to force him."
Sword Lord Luofu frowned and said:
"Could it be that when Thunder Blade Lord comes to challenge him, he also plans not to show up?"
Taoist Longshan just smiled:
"Senior Tianjian naturally has his own considerations."
Sword Master Luofu took a deep look at Taoist Longshan, was silent for a few breaths, and then said lightly:
"You should know that someone gave Master Jing Lei Sword a sword. The sword is very strong. Master Jing Lei Sword holds it in his hand. Master Tian Jian may not be his opponent. I am here to lend him the sword." He He stretched out his hand and pointed, and a long sword behind him suddenly floated in the air, making a clear clanging sound, and the blade showed the autumn light. It was obviously a good sword.
"The name of this sword is Luofu, which is comparable to that of the Heavenly Thunder Sword. If the real Heavenly Sword comes out to meet me and agrees to a condition, I can lend him this sword for the time being."
Taoist Longshan was silent.
Sword Master Luofu has good intentions, but his method makes people feel a little uncomfortable. There is a faint condescending look down on him. Perhaps because he is ranked 21st, he feels that he can easily defeat Master Tianjian. This borrowing of the sword may be Because we are both swordsmen, we don’t want to see the swordsman lose to the swordsman.
Taoist Longshan hesitated.
At this time, Ning Qi's voice came to his ears, and his expression returned to calm, and he just cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you Luofu Sword Master for your kindness, but I really can't let Senior Tianjian come out to meet you."
Luofu Sword Master's eyes condensed:
"If Master Tianjian is defeated because of this, then he will be the sinner of all swordsmen."
Taoist Longshan frowned:
"Sword Master Luofu is serious. Regardless of victory or defeat, it has nothing to do with the swordsmen and swordsmen in the world."
Just as Sword Lord Luofu was about to speak, Li Ling couldn't help but walked over. He bowed and said angrily:
"Senior Luofu, why do you do this? Senior Tianjian doesn't need your sword, so why do you need to borrow it by force?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Sword Master Luofu was stunned when he saw Li Ling:
"Young prince?"
His face turned slightly ugly, as he recalled some bad memories. Previously, the King of Zhenbei promised him a secret sword treasure to teach Li Ling swordsmanship. He was originally full of confidence, but he didn't expect that Li Ling didn't like it.
There is a figure coming:
"Luofu, go ahead, it's just a challenge. You don't need to care so much about victory or defeat."
King Zhenbei didn't know when it would arrive.
Sword Master Luofu was even more shocked. He was a little confused about the relationship between Zhenwu Mountain and Master Tianjian.
He remained silent for a moment, and after paying homage to King Zhenbei, he went down the mountain.
Just a sound came through the breeze:
"I just hope that Master Tianjian is really sure, otherwise this behavior will be ridiculed by the world."
All Zhenwu disciples looked angry.
Ning Qi's face was calm.
With or without a sword, it makes little difference to him.
……
The time is approaching step by step.
The day for Thunder Blade Master's challenge is getting closer.
There is a rumor in the martial arts world that Luofu Sword Master, who is ranked 21st on the list of heavenly beings, went to Zhenwu Mountain and wanted to lend his sword to Master Tianjian, but he was rejected.
This left everyone wondering how to evaluate Master Tianjian.
I don’t know if he is too withdrawn or too confident.
But everyone knows one thing.
If he loses for this reason, I'm afraid that Master Tianjian's reputation will not be much better in the future.
In Zhenwu City, Sword Master Luofu held his sword and sneered.
Powerful figures gathered in Zhenwu City. The true disciples of the Zhenwu Sect worked hard to lead the Zhenwu disciples to maintain order. This was different from the previous Heavenly Man Ceremony of Taoist Longshan. Most of the people who came that time were masters under the Heavenly Realm.
But this time, there are many masters in the Heavenly Realm.
They feel extremely stressed.
Good thing.
This time did not last long.
Half a month flies by.
Eyes gathered together.
An inn.
The Saintess of Southern Xinjiang wears a black veil and has a somewhat frivolous temperament. The two strange snakes on the neck of Granny Snake next to her are hidden somewhere. She looks like an ordinary old woman.
"Mother-in-law, do you think Master Tianjian will show up?" The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang took a sip of tea with a distant look in her eyes.
Granny Snake laughed:
"If we don't come forward, the outcome of today's Zhenwu Sect may not be too good. Neither the swordsman nor the swordsman will let them go."
"It's almost time, let's go to the theater."
The Saintess of Southern Xinjiang stepped lightly, and the warriors around her naturally showed awe. I don't know why, but a feeling of awe came out of my heart. I instinctively wanted to stay away from this woman. The two of them gradually moved away. Heading out of the city.
The area around Zhenwu Mountain is filled with expectant eyes.
The sky is in a frenzy.
Especially among the swordsmen and swordsmen, there are quite a few masters who have arrived, including several who are above the list of heavenly beings, and even more who are not on the list of heavenly beings. Many of them come with the purpose of observing and learning.
Most of the people joining in the fun were warriors under heaven and man.
Time passes slowly.
Everyone's eyes became increasingly anxious.
At this time.
A purple light broke through the sky, carrying a vague sense of violence.
Someone was shocked:
"Thunder Blade Lord is here!"
A series of fiery eyes followed, and they saw the purple light stopping in front of Zhenwu Mountain, revealing its true appearance.
It was an old man in purple robes, with a tall and powerful figure and sharp eyes. He carried a sword on his back, which was surging with inexplicable power. Even before it was unsheathed, some people had already felt chills in their hearts.
"Jinglei Sword Master, thirty-six on the former Heavenly Human Ranking. He once fought against Jiaojun in Baichuan Lake and was undefeated. He defeated many masters who were close to the Heavenly Human Ranking level. His sword cultivation is earth-shattering. When combined with the Thunder Way, he is even more violent and unparalleled."
"It is said that he recently received the Heavenly Thunder Sword as a gift from an old senior, which is very consistent with his path. Maybe he can regain his throne on the Heavenly Ranking in one battle!"
There were constant whispers, revealing the details of Thunder Sword Lord.
Thunder Sword Master senses his surroundings and can clearly detect that there are a few auras that are not weaker than him or even stronger than him.
He felt helpless inside.
Originally he didn't want to take action, but the temptation of the Thunder Sword was too great, and he couldn't hold it back in the end.
but.
He also has confidence in himself.
The reason why he was pushed down on the list of heavenly beings is simply because of the record of two consecutive attacks by Master Tianjian. However, in recent years, he has rarely taken action, and his strength has already improved. Now he has the help of the Heavenly Thunder Sword. He doesn't think it's a problem to defeat Tianjian Zhenren.
Just doing this will offend a master of the Celestial Ranking, but it doesn't matter. After this battle, his reputation will also increase greatly and he will gain the goodwill of many strong swordsmen.
Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Think so.
Thunder Sword Lord stepped forward.
He stood in the void in front of Zhenwu Mountain, his voice was as domineering as thunder, frightening away the clouds:
"Master Tianjian, come out and fight!"
On Zhenwu Mountain.
Except for the disciples who maintained order in Zhenwu City, the rest of the disciples gathered at the mountain gate, and Ning Qi was no exception. However, he did not stand with Li Ling. Although he was confident in his Wu Xiang Gang Body, he still tried his best to Don't attract the attention of King Zhenbei.
now.
Everyone was looking at the Thunder Sword Lord in the sky. His powerful aura was fully displayed. Although he did not deliberately target the Zhenwu disciples, he still made everyone feel a sense of oppression.
Taoist Longshan's eyes were calm.
As Thunder Sword Master spoke, everyone's hearts tightened.
His eyes subconsciously looked towards the back mountain.
Li Ling stretched his neck and asked the King of Zhenbei next to him in a low voice:
"Dad, do you think Senior Tianjian won't come out?"
King Zhenbei’s eyes showed a strange look:
"He will take action."
The surprise in his heart became more and more intense. Although he had not deliberately looked for it in the past few days, as the seventh strong man on the Heavenly Ranking, he sensed that there was no movement. But at this moment, there was a faint feeling in the back mountain. Power appears.
He realized that this Master Tianjian was indeed not simple.
"Ling'er, you have good taste."
Li Ling made a confused 'Ah' sound and was about to speak, but suddenly his eyes widened with ecstasy.
An unparalleled edge suddenly rose from the back mountain, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a peerless heavenly sword. The heavenly sword broke through the air, attracting exclamations one after another. The eyes of all the strong men gathered on it, with a solemn look. They felt an extremely powerful sword intent on the sword.
"Mother-in-law, how are you?" The eyes of the Saint of Southern Xinjiang fluctuated slightly.
Grandma Snake shook her head:
"For the time being, I only feel the pure sword intention, without the poisonous power before. We will have to wait until the true form of Tianjian shows up to know."
Then her eyes became weird:
"Does Master Tianjian want to imitate the previous two times and defeat the Thunder Sword Master with one strike of Heavenly Sword? Are you underestimating this sword master?"
Many people looked at him a little strangely, feeling that Master Tianjian was a little overconfident.
Thunder Sword Master's long hair was flying, looking at the sky sword coming from across the sky, he smiled angrily:
"Underestimating me? Forget it, let me see if your reputation as the Heavenly Sword Master is worthy of your reputation!"
The long sword behind him trembled slightly, but it was not unsheathed, but a violent sword intent spread out.
There seemed to be purple lightning flashing around the Jing Lei Sword Lord. He stretched out his hand and a hundred-foot thunder sword energy condensed instantly. The violent momentum made some swordsmen sway in their minds. The thunder sword was domineering and unparalleled, slashing towards the Sky Sword.
While everyone was watching, the Thunder Blade and the Heavenly Sword collided, shaking the heaven and the earth.
boom!
Aftershocks spread towards the surroundings, and the sword energy condensed into a storm, roaring between the heaven and the earth. The interaction between the two extremely powerful celestial beings was a bit loud.
Sword Lord Luofu, who was standing with his sword in his arms, focused his gaze:
"The Thunder Blade Lord is stronger than expected, but this Heavenly Sword Master is not simple either."
The first time the two of them fought, he looked a little sideways.
Although the strength shown now is still some distance away from him, it is already a strength that firmly occupies the Heavenly Ranking. He realized that Thunder Blade Lord's strength has improved over the years, but it has not been revealed.
The Qingniu Swordsman was also a little surprised. He felt that the strength of these two people was not weaker than his own.
He originally wanted to go to Zhenwu Mountain, but due to his status as a swordsman, he gave up temporarily and just watched the battle at the foot of the mountain. Taoist Longshan was his old friend, but he also had some old friends in the swordsmanship.
Countless warriors held their breath.
It was only the first brief confrontation that made everyone realize that this time it might be a battle between dragons and tigers. The two were evenly matched, and there would be a visual feast next.
The Jing Lei Sword Master's eyes were as cold as daggers.
If Master Tianjian doesn't come out again, he may use some means to force him out. At this moment, he seems to be fighting against the air, which is a bit insulting to himself.
Zhenwu Mountain.
Ning Qi shook his head silently in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to see if Wu Xianggang could dispatch the Thunder Sword Master in front of him without showing up, but now it seems that the Thunder Sword Master is stronger than previously expected.
If you want to win, win more simply, so as not to have troubles like this coming your way in the future.
He had already made up his mind.
In an instant.
Under everyone's gaze, a figure rose into the sky from the back of Zhenwu Mountain.
Tianjian Zhenren was revealed to the world for the first time.
