How splendid, how dazzling was that sword.It was during the struggle for dominance on the battlefield, and the old general was in his twilight years.
His hair was all white, yet he charged into the fray alone.
Chilei Yanâs eyes momentarily moistened, but she did not know whether these tears were shed for Lei Zhanqian, for the defeat of the Chilei Tribe, or because she was moved by the sword that shook her soul and surrendered to the emotions it evoked.
Li Fengyao of course saw Jiang Wang.
The moment Jiang Wang rushed forward, she noticed him.
She wanted to stop Jiang Wang from coming over to his death.
The dense frost light that Jiang Wang saw before he drew his sword was the result of Li Fengyaoâs efforts.
But then she saw Jiang Wang had already drawn his sword.
And after that, Lei Zhanqian fled.
Although she had always held a fair degree of appreciation for Jiang Wang, although Xu Xiangqian and Li Longchuan had repeatedly praised Jiang Wang, saying that his talent was extraordinary,
The Jiang Wang she saw in this life-and-death match, who unsheathed his sword and defeated his enemy with a single stroke, still exceeded her imagination, causing her to lose focus momentarily.
Amidst the dissipating thunder and starlight, Jiang Wang felt a huge sense of loss.
This sword, augmented by the power of a billion stars, had taken him to a world he had never seen before, a vast expanse of heaven and earth.
His sword could be this strong!
Pure power had accumulated and managed to break through the limits of the âWay.â
Even with the constraints of Li Fengyao, Jiang Wuji, and Fang Chong, the power of his sword was still unquestionable.
When that power faded, he suddenly had the illusion that he was incredibly weak.
Yet, in Li Fengyaoâs astonishment, amidst the doubt and uncertainty of Jiang Wuji and Fang Chong, and in the fear of the warriors of the Chilei Tribe,
Jiang Wang knew his own business.
This sword could not be replicated.
The strength of this sword came from the relentless battles in the Endless Earth Den, calling upon a tremendous âexternal force.â It was far from the ordinary and difficult to repeat.
Because when he returned to the real world, it was impossible for him to especially come to the Floating Land World to guard the Endless Earth Den.
Even if he wanted to, it would be hard to find a way there.
Even if the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower were to open again, it might not connect to the Floating Land World this time.
After all, it was just one of countless worlds illuminated by the Heavenly Pivot star.
But Jiang Wang, with his sword back in its sheath, stood proud, spirited, with a lofty gaze.
He looked towards the people of the Chilei Tribe, and even towards Jiang Wuji and Fang Chong, as if they were mere ants.
âI think, with this, the victor of this life-and-death secret realm should no longer be in dispute,â he said arrogantly.
His haughty gaze swept over Jiang Wuji and Fang Chong and only when it landed on Li Fengyao did he tone it down a bit, âSister Feng Yao, how about I take first place and you take second?â
He didnât even bother to ask Jiang Wuji and Fang Chong for their opinions, showing that he did not care about what they thought at all.
What kind of person was Li Fengyao?
Jiang Wang rarely acted so arrogantly, and she guessed right away that this kid was just putting on a show of strength.
Even though she didnât know how he had pulled off that sword move, she suspected that it would not be possible to produce a second such sword strike in a short time.
But she was also very clear-headed.
Although she had not revealed all her cards and her Divine Skills had not yet appeared, her Divine Skills were more of an aid to cultivation and did not provide as terrifying a boost in combat power as Lei Zhanqianâs totem power.
Under the full outbreak of Lei Zhanqianâs power, she indeed had some difficulty in coping.
If it werenât for Jiang Wangâs sudden appearance, she might have suffered a significant setback, a favor she had to acknowledge.
âOf course,â
Li Fengyao said calmly, âWith your strength, first place should have been yours from the start.
If you hadnât driven Lei Zhanqian away, I might have had a hard time securing second place.â
She spoke so matter-of-factly that it seemed only natural.
As for Jiang Wuji and Fang Chong, they did not understand where Jiang Wangâs strength had come from.
They could only judge from Li Fengyaoâs attitude that Jiang Wang might be someone who always hid his strength and was accustomed to pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
Even Jiang Wuji suddenly realized at that momentâwhy Li Fengyao would travel all this way with this guy.
It turned out he was hiding his true abilities!
Of course, it was impossible for them, especially Jiang Wuji, to directly admit their failure.
Fortunately, Jiang Wang had no intention of demanding a statement from them.
He decided to remain utterly arrogant.
âQinghuo Yuanceng!â As soon as Li Fengyao spoke, he directly stirred his True Yuan and shouted as if no one else was present, âTake the warriors and head straight to the central point!â
The voice carried for miles.
Qinghuo Yuanceng and others who were nearby waiting for the outcome heard this and were extremely excited.
Although they had previously been running at full speed, barely keeping up with the competing troops of the Chilei and Clear Water Clan and were nearly exhausted, at this moment they felt an infinite surge of energy.
A group of warriors, almost completely lacking formation, ran past the crowd solely driven by sheer momentum.
In terms of military bearing, they were incomparable to the warriors of the Clear Water Tribe, who had previously been annihilated by Lei Zhanqian.
However, the thought of Jiang Wangâs sword strike earlier deterred Fang Chong from having any opinion on the matter.
âJiang You,â he even smiled amicably, âBefore coming to the Seven Star Tower, the former Alliance Hierarch repeatedly reminded me that you are an old friend of our Business Alliance, and that I could ask for your help if I faced any difficulties.
But Iâm a little shy by nature and didnât have the courage to ask while in the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower.â
Qing Xi clearly tasked him to take care of Jiang Wang, asking him to help Jiang Wang whenever he encountered any trouble.
Of course, it was merely a polite remark, and in his mouth, he could phrase it however he wanted.
Jiang Wang smiled with a restrained pride, âAlliance Hierarch Qing, you flatter me too much.
With the extensive family and business of the Business Alliance, what possible assistance could I offer Deacon Fang?â
This slightly aloof ârestraintâ at that moment was also to continue the earlier âarrogantâ pretext.
âTo be honest, when the Alliance Hierarch previously called you a young hero unique in this world, I had some doubts, wondering if it was an exaggeration,â Fang Chong showed an embarrassed yet candid expression, âBut after witnessing you today, it seems the Alliance Hierarch even underestimated you!â
âNot at all,â Jiang Wang continued restrained, maintaining his cool demeanor.
Fang Chong seemed not to notice any awkwardness and continued smiling, âI noticed that Jiang You arrived in the Celestial Sky world only later.
May I ask if youâve had any worthwhile discussions with our former Alliance Hierarch?
For us deacons below, our own affairs are not much of a concern, but we always have the tasks assigned by the Alliance Hierarch on our minds!â
âNot really.â
For Jiang Wang, acting was somehow tiring.
He turned and directly addressed Li Fengyao, âSister Feng Yao, then I will take my leave first.â
Li Fengyao nodded slightly.
She was the true definition of aloof.
Having traveled together to Ji City, Jiang Wang had naturally gotten used to it.
He turned with his sword and strode toward the location of the central point.
The so-called âcentral pointâ was an area emitting a milky white glow.
From the outside, one couldnât see clearly inside.
Though it corresponded to a hundred starting points, it had only one entrance.
It was difficult to judge its position with directions like east, south, west, and north, since it lacked the concept of orientation.
Once you found it, that was it.
Once you arrived, you could enter.
Qinghuo Yuanceng eagerly waited at the entrance, with all the warriors of the Celebrating Fire Division watching Jiang Wang as he approached with large strides.
Respect filled their eyes.
This distinguished guest, a star general descended from the Celestial Sky, had helped them guard the Endless Earth Den and had helped them achieve first place in the life-and-death game.
âThe Celebrating Fire Division will forever remember this history,â Qinghuo Yuanceng said sincerely, placing one hand over his heart.
âIf you will remember me, then I hope you wonât forget Qinghuo Qiming as well,â Jiang Wang said.
The altered Totem Power of fire on his back was personally initiated by Qinghuo Qiming, tattooed under the white lotus skeleton, combining them perfectly.
It was also Qinghuo Qiming who personally guided the power of the totem, completing the initial totem.
And that was the reason Jiang Wang was able to defeat Lei Zhanqian in the life-and-death chess game.
