Chapter 284
Breakthrough of Titled Ultimate Technique, Practice of the Great Tribulation of Wind and
The Jiang family of Qishan, with their magnificent palaces and halls.
Just as Ji Xiu turned around, ignoring the feast laid out before him without a second thought, he left.
In the large room where Jiang Yushu had summoned them, intending to cultivate a relationship with Ji Xiu, the 'Sword Court Daoist,' suddenly someone stood up and shouted:
"Daozi has deep feelings for his old sword. He was willing to take responsibility for its interests after only meeting it once. He is truly a man of great loyalty and affection."
"But how much affection can there be after just one glance?"
He stepped out from the banquet, dressed in brocade robes, every thread of which was woven from gold thread into dragon and phoenix patterns, which looked lifelike and added a lot of majesty!
Ji Xiu looked in the direction of the sound and was immediately struck by how incredibly impressive it was, something that was absolutely unique among the state-owned clans.
But he wasn't a martial artist who had risen from the county government, lacked powerful backing, and was riddled with hidden dangers. So he raised an eyebrow, slightly lifted his eyes, and glanced at him:
Who are you?
Upon hearing this, the golden-robed prodigy immediately raised his head proudly, his spirits soaring, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and spoke in a calm tone:
“Jiang Nanke, son of the prominent Jiang family of Qishan.”
"Not a direct descendant, not even in the top ranks, but still awakened the 'Crimson Dragon Blood,' obtained the root of a Human Immortal, broke through the four limits, and underwent several transformations without flaw!"
Jiang Nanke greatly admired Daozi's meaning just now, but...
"For the clan lord to personally host such a banquet, even if the next 'Clan Lord' of my Jiang clan were to be born, the amount of food prepared for him would probably not be more than this."
"If Your Excellency wishes to leave, I have no objection."
"But at least we should have had three rounds of wine and five dishes. Otherwise, how will outsiders view the Jiang clan of Qishan? If this gets out, where will the face of the powerful clan leader be?"
The young man wearing the jeweled crown spoke in a grand and dignified manner, and bowed to him.
Even though she wasn't the heir of the Jiang family, she didn't feel that her status was unequal to Ji Xiu's, and remained neither humble nor arrogant.
After speaking, he bowed to Jiang Yushu at the head of the table, his words righteous and righteous.
Ji Xiu narrowed his eyes.
He could tell from the boy's youthful vigor that he was no more than twenty years old.
Such achievements at this age.
Among all the powerful families in the state, none could compare to him, except perhaps to a 'peerless genius' like himself.
And
This kid really wants to improve!
Seeing the 'appreciation' in Jiang Yushu's eyes, Ji Xiu's lips twitched.
He was so insightful; if he hadn't known that two hundred years later, Jiang Shu would be at the pinnacle, ruling Qishan, he would have been completely different.
It was precisely because of Jiang Nanke's ability to understand the emperor's intentions and solve problems, coupled with his outstanding talent, that he was able to achieve this.
How could he not be a strong contender for the title of "Master of the House"?
Unfortunately,
His face
Ji Xiu was destined not to give it to him.
Following his usual practice, Ji Xiu wanted to refuse at that moment, but he completely forgot that after stepping into the Yellow Millet Dream and obtaining the 'Heavenly Pillar Dao Child' experience card, he was no longer the same person he used to be!
Just as he was pondering in his heart, trying to find a tactful way to say something that would neither offend the Jiang clan leader, Jiang Yushu, nor make him lose face unnecessarily,
Ji Xiu suddenly realized that the situation at the banquet had changed dramatically!
The old man Liang, who had been assigned to guard the path, frowned, immediately put down his cup and chopsticks, and spoke in an unfriendly tone:
"What do you mean?"
"Where does the Daoist disciple of my ancestral court of the Daoist Sword go? Could it be that by staying in Qishan and attending this banquet, the Jade Pivot Clan Chief intends to turn it into a trap?"
"Where are the true disciples of Daozi, on the left and right?"
The old man tapped it hard with the back of his knife.
Upon seeing Ye Nankai and Li Wangji, the two promising disciples assigned as 'the true inheritors of the Daoist teachings,' and noticing a hint of confusion in their eyes, he simply shook his head and then secretly transmitted his voice:
"What are you two standing there for?"
"Why aren't you flipping this table over to make a show of force for Daozi?"
"How can the might of our ancestral court of swordsmanship be intimidated by this mere child of the Jiang family? And how can we allow Daozi Xingxing to personally step forward and speak with him?"
"Wouldn't that be a loss of face for no reason!"
Old Master Liang sighed inwardly, thinking that if it weren't for the lack of successors in this generation, there wouldn't be many promising young talents in the next generation.
How could the position of Daozi's Vice Minister, the position of his left and right disciples, be chosen by two greenhorns of similar age who had both risen through the ranks from the lower academy?
It should be noted that back then, before Zhou Chongyang became the master of the Sword Court, he was still the chief Daoist.
The two Palace Masters who have now been promoted to Palace Masters and become giants are both arrogant and ruthless characters who would destroy mountains and temples at the slightest disagreement!
In any case, the protectors will take the blame for whatever happens. They will do all the dirty and hard work, and the Daoist will take care of the rest. Naturally, the name of the Daoist will become famous throughout the country.
The two men, who had been instigated by Elder Liang, came to their senses at this moment.
Looking at the composed and unperturbed sword master beside them, Ye Nankai and Li Wangji swallowed hard. After all, this was the stronghold of the Nine Clans and Ten Pillars, and they were making a scene right under their noses.
In the past, the two of them would never have dared to do that.
But as the saying goes, you get what you work with!
Seeing Dao Daozi and the veteran master standing nearby, the two exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and immediately became prepared to act as pawns.
So Ye Nankai took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and flipped over his desk with a single sweep of his sleeve:
"What are you yelling about? The powerful clan leader is right in front of us. He hasn't even spoken yet. What right do you have to interfere?"
"If you dare to speak out again, pressure me for a higher position, or threaten my lineage, you're a threat."
"I will draw my sword and kill you today!"
With thick eyebrows and large eyes, dressed in a black robe, the true disciple of the Sword Court felt his heart pounding like a drum, but he forced himself to remain calm and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
At the same time, he saw Jiang Yushu's eyelids twitch slightly at the head of the table, but she didn't speak, and he saw the entire palace casting a rather incredulous gaze upon him.
Ye Nankai unconsciously puffed out his chest, a strange feeling welling up inside him.
Is this the prestige of the Sword Court?!
No wonder before they joined the ancestral court of swordsmanship, everyone said that if they were to enter the 'Nine Surnames and Ten Pillars' clan register, they would be able to look down upon the white mountains and black waters with ease!
At this moment, Ye Nankai finally understood something, so he remained calm and even raised the sword in his hand, assuming a "go all out" stance.
This immediately drew everyone's attention.
Even Ji Xiu was taken aback, having never seen anything like it before.
"No wonder later generations say that the 'ancestral court of swordsmanship' acts domineeringly. If every generation of sword masters is like this..."
"The grudges between these people in the Changbai Mountains and Heilongjiang River region run deep, which is understandable."
Ji Xiu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "That's just too arrogant!"
But I must say...
This is quite consistent with his behavior after becoming a disciple of Duan Chenzhou and joining the Heavenly Blade True Sect!
It is indeed undoubtedly a direct descendant of the same lineage!
Without even needing to speak, the two disciples overturned the table, and with powerful protectors watching from the sidelines, you can see that.
Even Jiang Yushu, the master of the Qishan Giant Clan, suppressed his temper and didn't even lift a finger?!
This is the majestic presence of the "Knife Court," one of the "Ten Pillars," the leader of the White Mountains and Black Waters!
This is the power and prestige of the Sword Court Master, who is 'Number One Under Heaven,' the top of the Supreme Ranking, and invincible below the Immortals!
If I don't speak first when spring comes, which insect will dare to make a sound?
Even the most powerful figures at their peak can only force themselves to endure it!
After all, once he takes action, the nature of the situation changes.
Jiang Yushu's face twitched slightly; her teeth ached a little.
How did things escalate to this point?
Jiang Shu is not bad-looking, but what is so good about him that makes the young master of the Blade Court and the true disciple of the Daoist sect want to stand up for him after only meeting him once?
Could it be that marrying the legitimate daughter of the current head of the Qishan tycoon would be inferior to him?
Jiang Yushu, already displeased, watched as the situation spiraled out of control, and her expression hardened slightly.
"Since Daozi is unwilling, there is naturally no need to discuss it further."
"Originally, I intended to use 'Crimson Dragon Blood' to cleanse your physical body, helping you to acquire the foundation of a 'Human Immortal'."
"But it seems that Daozi doesn't care about these things."
Jiang Yushu, who had originally wanted to try again to turn hostility into friendship, saw that Ji Xiu was unmoved and did not agree, and her face finally became completely somber.
Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone someone in his high position.
This junior from Daoting has repeatedly disrespected him.
Does he really think he's Zhou Chongyang from back then, capable of stirring up chaos throughout the entire Changbai Mountains and Heilongjiang River region, and even the Great Xuan Kingdom?!
Even the Dragon-Tiger Limit and the Ascension Title rank have not yet been reached. To invite the contemporary Jiang Ziya would be considered bullying the weak!
Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Nanke, who had originally spoken, on his left, his tone slightly cold:
“Nan Ke, Dao Zi has come to our door. If we don’t see him off, outsiders will say that the Jiang family of Qishan is ignorant of etiquette.” “Go there.”
"Make sure you escort Michiko safely to the outside of the courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanke immediately understood:
"Yes!"
Then he strode forward, intending to walk alongside Ji Xiu, his tone high-pitched:
"I have always heard that Dao Ting Daozi's martial arts have been unparalleled throughout history."
"I wonder what the Prince of Wangquan will do today?"
Ok?
Hearing these almost explicit and tense words, Ji Xiu understood perfectly.
It seems that the clan leader Jiang Yushu is displeased and is deliberately trying to embarrass him.
Seeing that the two disciples were about to step forward to stop him, Ji Xiu reached out and stopped them, then drew his divine sword, Wang Quan.
At this moment, the mountain and river patterns on this sword shine brightly, and the inscription on the hilt is even more lifelike and vivid. In terms of power, it is comparable to the top of the martial saint's weapon and is far superior to the weapons of later generations!
Just right.
He also wanted to demonstrate his own martial arts skills!
After experiencing so many twists and turns and rising to this level, I wonder what level of martial artist I am worthy of being called!
"Since that's the case, then so be it."
"please!"
Ji Xiu leaped out, standing on the vast plain amidst the green hills and clear waters, his eyes blazing as he looked at Jiang Nanke, his blood surging like a tidal wave!
Jiang Nanke, who stepped out after him, felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched and locked down by some ancient ferocious beast, and his eyes narrowed.
"Taozi."
Ye Nankai and Li Wangji originally wanted to stop Ji Xiu, but were stopped by Elder Liang halfway through and shook their heads slightly.
The old man remained calm at this moment:
"I asked you to step forward so as to protect the dignity of the Daoist Master."
"But in this situation, if we take the lead, it will damage the reputation of the Sword Court."
Upon hearing this, Li Wangji was somewhat worried:
"Elder Liang, but Wang Quan Daozi's cultivation is still relatively short, isn't it?"
After hearing this, Old Liang gave a half-smile:
"A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation."
"You two don't actually think..."
"Is the Dao Child currently in existence, or the Dao Child who was promoted to a True Disciple?"
"Let's wait and see."
He tucked his hands into his sleeves, looking completely at ease.
A person who can be favored by the heavens and become a "chosen one".
Unless that Jiang fellow is shameless enough to let the contemporary Jiang Zi make a move and crush them with absolute power, these Jiang family's flawless disciples, or even the Dragon Tiger Warriors, are no match for them!
He might not be a match for Daozi!
At this moment, in front of the palace, on the mountain platform, a fierce wind howled, dispersing the smog!
There was even a faint rumble of thunder in the sky!
Ji Xiu opened his double pupils, which shimmered with purple light, and saw through Jiang Nanke's bones and skin to understand his true nature.
With a single step, a sudden burst of air shot out, crushing through the flying sand and stones. As the royal power in his hand manipulated the celestial phenomena, it transformed into a thunder blade, like rolling muffled thunder, which cleaved down and tore through the air currents.
Jiang Nanke's heart pounded, and he widened his pupils to see the divine light of the thunder blade. Its power was so great that even he, as a member of the Great Chamber, could see through it at a glance.
This is a genuine titled martial arts technique, a supreme skill of the Martial Saint!
However, as one of the "Nine Surnames and Ten Pillars", even if they have never seen the unique skills of each family and lineage, they have probably learned a thing or two about them.
But this king's power was slain by the dazzling thunder blade.
There is no record of this in the clan!
Even though his cultivation level was higher than Ji Xiu's, Jiang Nanke remained focused and did not panic.
Instead, he drew his sword, his dantian expanded instantly, his skin felt like it was on fire, as if he were a 'red dragon's offspring', and with a sword strike like a dragon, he immediately drew out a crimson glow, the sword's cry sounding like a dragon's roar!
The ultimate martial art of the Martial Saint – the Crimson Dragon Sword Manual!
clang!
Swords clashed, shaking the earth and drawing the attention of Qishan.
Clang, clang!
Jiang Nanke, whose hands were numb from the immense force of the King's Blade, even felt a tremor in his five 'divine treasures' that supported his martial arts body. He could not hide his shock:
"What kind of martial arts body has this child cultivated, and what kind of flawless body has he shed?"
"How can someone whose cultivation level is so suppressed by mine still possess true energy and strength that are no less than mine?!"
"If I hadn't also mastered the martial arts of the Martial Saint and received the title-bestowed secret techniques, I probably wouldn't have been his match."
After exchanging blows for a moment, Jiang Nanke felt a slight pang of regret, wondering if he had been too reckless in his attempt to curry favor with the clan leader in order to gain resources.
But he extinguished those hesitant thoughts in the blink of an eye.
The clash between his own and Wang Quan Daozi's ultimate techniques was quite challenging.
But it won't be easy for him to defeat himself.
It's normal for the young masters of the Nine Clans and Ten Pillars to have entered the realm of this unique skill at this age, but to truly master it and learn its transformations is extremely difficult!
Many people have climbed to the level of a martial saint before even entering the gate.
The martial arts techniques they both practiced were only at the beginner level; they only knew one move at a time, and it was impossible to tell who was better. However, if he slowly wore them down, he might eventually have a deeper foundation.
However, before Jiang Nanke could finish his thought, a light, airy voice suddenly rang out from above his head—
"Brother Jiang, you have excellent skills."
"That"
"How about this cut?!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanke instinctively looked up.
In the next instant.
Then he saw it.
Even after two hundred years, he could not forget the divine power that lingered in his mind.
The purple lightning that had appeared when Ji Xiu raised his sword suddenly seemed to explode with a great shock, accompanied by a sudden gust of wind that howled and added to the chaos.
The Thunder Pivot Blade, which was originally full of murderous intent, suddenly gained another element of wind, like the 'Great Calamity of Wind and Thunder'. In terms of martial arts skill, it simply surpassed the limitations of everyone else's skill.
Approaching the level of a titled Martial Saint!
He had thought he could hold his own just one night, but the next moment...
It's like a lone boat stranded on a sandy beach, with a pole but no water, unable to move forward or backward!
Jiang Nanke's mind was shaken. After a moment of shock, he instinctively raised his sword to defend himself, but then a pair of double pupils, like a 'candle dragon', became serious.
Everything about him seemed to have been seen through!
The dazzling blade light, carrying the force of wind and thunder, shattered the crimson dragon within the sword. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Nanke's arms trembled as he stared at the nick on the blade.
He immediately saw clearly the two characters 'Royal Power' engraved on the front of his neck!
"Brother Jiang, you flatter me."
The words were spoken in a single sentence.
The dust has settled!
