513: Chapter 170: Tian Kui_1 513: Chapter 170: Tian Kui_1 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 Yan’s eyes montarily 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 mont 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 Fengyao’s 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 montarily.
Amidst the dissipating thunder and starlight, Jiang Wang felt a huge sense of loss.
This sword, augnted 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 “Way.”
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 Fengyao’s astonishnt, 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 ca from the relentless battles in the Endless Earth Den, calling upon a trendous “external force.” 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 co 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 ti.
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 re ants.
“I think, with this, the victor of this life-and-death secret realm should no longer be in dispute,” 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, “Sister Feng Yao, how about I take first place and you take second?”
He didn’t 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 didn’t 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 ti.
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 Zhanqian’s totem power.
Under the full outbreak of Lei Zhanqian’s power, she indeed had so difficulty in coping.
If it weren’t for Jiang Wang’s sudden appearance, she might have suffered a significant setback, a favor she had to acknowledge.
“Of course,”
Li Fengyao said calmly, “With your strength, first place should have been yours from the start.
If you hadn’t driven Lei Zhanqian away, I might have had a hard ti securing second place.”
She spoke so matter-of-factly that it seed only natural.
As for Jiang Wuji and Fang Chong, they did not understand where Jiang Wang’s strength had co from.
They could only judge from Li Fengyao’s attitude that Jiang Wang might be soone who always hid his strength and was accustod to pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
Even Jiang Wuji suddenly realized at that mont—why 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 statent from them.
He decided to remain utterly arrogant.
“Qinghuo Yuanceng!” As soon as Li Fengyao spoke, he directly stirred his True Yuan and shouted as if no one else was present, “Take the warriors and head straight to the central point!”
The voice carried for miles.
Qinghuo Yuanceng and others who were nearby waiting for the outco heard this and were extrely 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 mont they felt an infinite surge of energy.
A group of warriors, almost completely lacking formation, ran past the crowd solely driven by sheer montum.
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 Wang’s sword strike earlier deterred Fang Chong from having any opinion on the matter.
“Jiang You,” he even smiled amicably, “Before coming to the Seven Star Tower, the forr Alliance Hierarch repeatedly reminded that you are an old friend of our Business Alliance, and that I could ask for your help if I faced any difficulties.
But I’m a little shy by nature and didn’t have the courage to ask while in the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower.”
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 rely a polite remark, and in his mouth, he could phrase it however he wanted.
Jiang Wang smiled with a restrained pride, “Alliance Hierarch Qing, you flatter too much.
With the extensive family and business of the Business Alliance, what possible assistance could I offer Deacon Fang?”
This slightly aloof “restraint” at that mont was also to continue the earlier “arrogant” pretext.
“To be honest, when the Alliance Hierarch previously called you a young hero unique in this world, I had so doubts, wondering if it was an exaggeration,” Fang Chong showed an embarrassed yet candid expression, “But after witnessing you today, it seems the Alliance Hierarch even underestimated you!”
“Not at all,” Jiang Wang continued restrained, maintaining his cool deanor.
Fang Chong seed not to notice any awkwardness and continued smiling, “I noticed that Jiang You arrived in the Celestial Sky world only later.
May I ask if you’ve had any worthwhile discussions with our forr 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!”
“Not really.”
For Jiang Wang, acting was sohow tiring.
He turned and directly addressed Li Fengyao, “Sister Feng Yao, then I will take my leave first.”
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 “central point” was an area emitting a milky white glow.
From the outside, one couldn’t 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 ga.
“The Celebrating Fire Division will forever rember this history,” Qinghuo Yuanceng said sincerely, placing one hand over his heart.
“If you will rember , then I hope you won’t forget Qinghuo Qiming as well,” 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 ga.
