Chapter 369: The Magic World Sword Altar
Demonic World, Sword Arena in the Center of the Sinking Sea
With the publicity from newspapers and media, it became a world-famous kendo shrine.
The strong ones in the demon world know Xuanhu, and the weak ones in the demon world also pursue fame and fortune, so all demons are curious.
As a result, a large number of free swordsmen from the demon world or martial artists rushed to the center of the Sunken Sea.
When they arrived at the arena, they saw the black fox standing quietly in the center, but few people dared to approach.
As a large number of people gathered on the eight bridges, those people at the bottom of the demon world also learned about Xuan Hu's identity through chatting with each other.
Before the Heavenly Dynasty, the three great swordsmen of the Dark Alliance were ranked third, but that was third in the entire Demon World. Such a strong man was not something that small fish and shrimps like them could touch.
Among them, the most daring was a gentleman with a rapier slung around his waist, dressed in gorgeous clothes, blond hair, a gentleman's hat on his head, a big blue flower on his chest, and fair skin as elegant as an aristocrat.
"Xuan Hu, why would you do such a thing here?" Gui Piaoling came up to him and asked.
“The Emperor asked me to accept the challenge here, saying that as long as I follow his instructions, I can gain more sword skills and find ways to go further.
"Are you coming?" asked Xuan Hu.
"No need! We have competed before, and I am no match for you. Before we go any further, I'd better not make things difficult for myself!" Gui Piaoling said.
“The Emperor said that this time, I can only use my opponent’s swordsmanship, and I must point out his flaws during the fight. I must also only use strength that does not exceed my opponent’s.
“By the way, you also need to ask your opponent why he wants to practice sword fighting!
"Why do you want to practice sword?" Xuan Hu suddenly looked up at Gui Piaoling, his eyes burning as if he wanted to burn others.
"I can understand the first few requests, but what is the purpose of this last question?" Gui Piaoling asked curiously.
“The Emperor said that only by knowing the story of why your opponent practices swordsmanship can you appreciate the emotion in your opponent’s swordsmanship. Only by appreciating the emotion can you comprehend the supreme swordsmanship!
"I don't know what comprehension means, but I want to comprehend the supreme swordsmanship, so I have to find inspiration and know the reasons why others practice swordsmanship!" Xuan Hu answered every question without hiding anything.
"You want to learn swordsmanship? Can't you quickly learn other people's swordsmanship and adapt it to suit your own?" Gui Piaoling asked.
"The Emperor said that it was someone else's swordsmanship, not his own. Even if it was the sword tribulation, it was an innate swordsmanship, not the swordsmanship that one had comprehended. Only the swordsmanship that one had comprehended could be considered the true supreme swordsmanship!" Xuanhu said.
Gui Piaoling nodded slightly.
"Are you sure that you will only use my swordsmanship in the battle and suppress your strength to the same level as mine?" Gui Piaoling asked.
"Yes!"
"If I defeat you in this state, can I leave my name on the stone tablet next to it?" Gui Piaoling asked again.
"Yes!" Xuan Hu confirmed twice.
"Well, let me be your first opponent!" After saying that, Gui Piaoling took three steps back, stood in a position in front of Xuanhu, and drew out the blood-red rapier from his waist.
"Then answer my question, why do you practice sword?" Xuan Hu asked.
"Why practice sword? This question is so unfamiliar!" Gui Piaoling said with a lost look.
"Maybe it's for more freedom!" Gui Piaoling said with emotion, then looked at Xuanhu, "Does this count as an answer?"
"Hmm!" Xuan Hu then drew his sword and made the same starting move as Gui Piaoling. Before, from the sword techniques between Xuan Hu and Gui Piaoling, he had already learned all of Gui Piaoling's sword techniques.
Now, of course, there is no need to learn it all over again.
The extremely fast speed caused the two people to collide with each other at the same time.
The two swords collided, making clanging sounds and sparks flying. This was the first battle on the holy altar of swordsmanship, and also the starting point of the first heyday in the sword world of the demon world.
Sino-Miao border, Huanzhu Tower
As the building was bombarded by thunder and lightning, it continued to collapse.
Fortunately, the materials used in its construction were solid and the workmanship was top-notch. Even if the upper part collapsed, the lower part could still support it.
Jian Wuji and Huanyou Bingjian protected Fengdie and pushed the wheelchair of Shen Gu Wenhuang down the stairs.
"Old poisonous insect, it's time for you to wake up! If you don't wake up, all of us will be struck by lightning! By then, you will turn into charcoal, and there will not even be a complete corpse!" Jian Wuji muttered as he ran.
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!" In such a critical moment, Fengdie couldn't stand to hear such discouraging words.
When they were going downstairs, they met Zang Jingren and Meng Gaofei who were going upstairs.
"Uncle, Uncle Meng." Fengdie greeted him immediately.
The two men now looked disheveled and covered in blood, and their clothes were burnt by the thunder.
"It was you who was shouting just now, right? Who is supporting us over in the Central Plains?" Zang Jingren asked directly.
"Snow Mountain Silver Swallow! The one I call Stupid Cow is Snow Mountain Silver Swallow!" Jian Wuji answered directly.
"Only the Snow Mountain Silver Swallow?" Zang Jingren frowned.
If he was alone, it wouldn't matter whether there was rescue or not.
"I don't know! Anyway, I only shouted at him." Jian Wuji shook his head.
"There should be some heroes from the Central Plains charging into the battle. As long as we get out quickly, we should be able to meet up with them!" Fengdie said.
"Go through? How? There are thunders everywhere outside!" Meng Gaofei said helplessly.
"It depends on whether Benniu can break the formation! If he can, then we have a chance. If he can't, then we can only wait to be struck by lightning!" Jian Wuji said.
East of the Outer Realm
Xuan Zhixuan guided Snow Mountain Silver Swallow to use the Eight Trigrams to match the Eight Directions, and then analyzed the mountain geography near Huanzhu Tower.
Determine the approximate location of the center of the formation.
Just as they were about to set off, the Miao army suddenly stopped and retreated several steps to the surroundings, but still surrounded the Central Plains army.
"How is this going?"
Just when everyone was surprised and puzzled, a Miao general walked out of the crowd and came in front of them. It was Linghu Qianli.
"The king said that our Miao territory is here to suppress the rebellion, not to be an enemy of the Central Plains. Because the opportunity for war is fleeting, we did not have time to inform the Central Plains. If there is any offense, please forgive us! After the battle, the king will give compensation to the Central Plains!
"As for the people you want to rescue inside, as long as you tell them not to resist, the Miao army will naturally not attack them." After Linghu Qianli finished telling him what the Miao King asked him to convey, he stood aside and waited for their response.
"What do you mean by not resisting? Look at the thunder in your sky! If you don't stop and resist, won't you be struck into charcoal?" Snow Mountain Silver Swallow said angrily, pointing at the sleepless thunder in the magic circle.
Linghu Qianli looked back at the lightning that showed no signs of stopping, and scratched his head guiltily.
"Then I'll go back and ask the king?" Linghu Qianli said, turned around and ran away!
