Chapter 189: Great Boundless Sword Sutra
Chapter 189: Great Boundless Sword Sutra
"Master, it's true!"
Just at this moment, a streak of green light swiftly rushed over, transforming into a green ox that came to a halt by the lakeside.
The ox opened its mouth and spat out a broken horn, its face filled with grievance. It opened its mouth and spoke, "Master, that kid was really ruthless. He broke off my horn! Luckily, I was able to run away quickly, otherwise I wouldn't even know if I could see you, Master!"
"This How is this possible!"
Tang Wujian's face was full of disbelief. "Could it be that now, even Saints are allowed to participate in the Core Disciple selection?"
"Master, that person is at the Fish-Dragon Fourth Transformation!"
"The Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon could break your ox horn? Even the Holy Master back then couldn't achieve such a feat!"
Tang Wujian was shocked. "If he could achieve such power at the peak of the Fish-Dragon Realm, I might consider him a once-in-a-millennium genius. But to have this level of power at the Fourth Transformation He's not a genius anymore, he's a freak! A freak that has never been seen before!"
"But Master, my broken horn is right here. Don't you believe me?" The green ox said with a touch of grievance.
Tang Wujian took a deep breath and looked at Xiaolin. "What is the name of this person, and where is he now?"
"Reporting to Elder Tang, that person is named Su Zhan and currently resides in the 25th Spirit Rain Pavilion on Little Spirit Mountain!"
"Su Zhan Make an image of this person's appearance and send it to my cave dwelling. I'll first go to Mangdang Mountain to investigate the situation!" Tang Wujian finished speaking, bade farewell to the silk-garbed elder, and prepared to leave.
"Master, you better give him a good beating! Avenge me!" The green ox exclaimed.
"Foolish ox, you can't even defeat someone at the Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon. You've tarnished my reputation!" Annoyed, Tang Wujian scolded, then without delay, transformed into a streak of sword light that cut through the air and departed!
The next day.
Just as Su Zhan opened the door, he saw a tall, elderly man with white hair standing at the entrance.
From the old man's presence, he didn't sense any aura of power, as if he were an ordinary person. But an ordinary person couldn't have come here without alerting him.
Su Zhan's gaze narrowed, "Who are you? Do you have something to discuss with me?"
"You're Su Zhan? You seem rather unremarkable."
Tang Wujian's gaze settled on Su Zhan's face, "I heard that you snatched someone else's treasure mountain in Mangdang Mountain, and not only that, you also injured the guardian ox. Isn't that a bit excessive?"
"So that little mountain was really made by someone else? There's actually someone who piles up a bunch of colorful things, shiny and flashy, such gaudy and tasteless stuff" Su Zhan hesitated, "It wouldn't happen to be yours, old man?"
"I" Tang Wujian's expression chanded slightly, feeling irritated.
The treasure mountain he proudly showed off to others, in Su Zhan's words, has become gaudy and tasteless?
"And that ox, I don't know whose it is, it looks pretty dumb. Old man, you"
"Of course, it's not mine!" Tang Wujian felt uncomfortable under Su Zhan's suspicious gaze and quickly responded.
"If it's not your gaudy mountain, and it's not your dumb ox, then why are you looking for me, old man?" Su Zhan looked bewildered.
"I"
Tang Wujian revealed a faint smile and said calmly, "I've heard that your swordsmanship is quite strong, and I wish to learn a thing or two from you."
Su Zhan shook his head, "I'd better pass! You're so old already, if anything happens, you'll surely blame me."
"What do you mean by that!"
A surge of pressure emanated from Tang Wujian, his voice filled with pride, "I'm at a realm more than ten times higher than yours, you don't need to worry about that!"
"You want to compare sword skills with me, being more than ten times higher in realm?" Su Zhan said, "Are you saying that you can't defeat anyone at your level, so you have to find someone like me, who's at a lower level?"
"Nonsense! How many at the same level can defeat me?"
Tang Wujian became furious, "Rest assured, I'll only use the power of the Fish-Dragon Fourth Transformation level. I just want to see your sword skills!"
After a few seconds of contemplation, Su Zhan nodded and agreed. He had realized from the beginning that this old man was not an ordinary person.
Although he couldn't sense the other party's realm, his understanding of the unity of heaven and man in his swordsmanship allowed him to perceive that this person's sword cultivation was no less than his own, and perhaps even surpassing his own.
Comparing swords with such a person would greatly enhance his comprehension of swordsmanship.
Subsequently, they exchange a few more words before he followed Tang Wujian to leave the area and arrive at an open valley.
They stood fifty meters apart.
Tang Wujian said, "You must use your strongest sword technique, let me see it clearly. This way, I will also use a higher level of sword cultivation, giving you some insights as well."
"Alright." Su Zhan nodded.
In the next moment, he directly activated his divine body.
The Great Sun, Bright Moon, and Stars. Three divine body phenomena erupt from him, manifesting in the sky!
"This kind of divine body" Tang Wujian's gaze narrowed.
As a Saint King, he had seen many divine bodies, but someone like Su Zhan with such manifestations is truly the first!
Each force is not weaker than a single divine body. Could it be that three divine bodies have merged into one?
No! This is impossible!
While merged divine bodies are not unheard of, they all start with having a single divine body, then under fortuitous circumstances during the peak of the Saint King realm, they generate a second divine body!
Setting aside the fact that Celestial Beings have not appeared in the entire Southern Territory for over ten thousand years, it is said that even in the ancient times when the path of cultivation was flourishing, there were only two or three individuals in the entire Spirit Continent who had such a great opportunity!
A Fish-Dragon Fourth Transformation, how could it possibly integrate three divine bodies into one? It seems that this is just a single divine body, but an exceptionally special one, much stronger than the average divine body!
Huh?
What kind of sword technique is this again?
Within the sword intent, there is both the awe-inspiring might of the Great Sun and the vastness of the stars, and even a hint of dragon's power?
Wait! Hold on a second!
Did the Fish-Dragon Fourth Transformation achieve the unity of heaven and man?
Tang Wujian stared blankly at the sequence of movements made by Su Zhan. He felt like his whole being had been stunned. A dignified Saint King who has seen all kinds of grand scenes and countless geniuses. But someone like Su Zhan is truly a first! This is too abnormal!
However the more abnormal, the better!
I like it!
Thinking of his deeper purpose, a hint of a smile appeared on Tang Wujian's face. There was a sense of anticipation in his eyes.
"Come on, Su Zhan, let me see your strongest strike!" As he spoke, Tang Wujian's two fingers came together and he casually thrust forward.
But as he thrust, the space in front seemed to tear apart, revealing rippling waves that spread to both sides! An invisible sword qi converges toward the Celestial Dragon formed by Su Zhan's concentration.
"My sword technique is called the Great Boundless Sword Sutra.' Although I'm only using the realm of the Fish-Dragon Fourth Transformation and using my hand as a substitute for a sword, I have gained a thorough understanding of this sword scripture, and I have even cultivated many of its sword laws. Therefore, this strike is enough to kill a First Order Saint. Su Zhan, be careful!"
