Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 971: The Return

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Seeing that Di Jing had run out of the imperial palace, Gu Ji’s eyes lit up as a wave of murderous intent swept over him. He charged mercilessly at Di Jing.

“Ha! Di Jing, you’ve yet to recover from the severe injuries I caused you last time! It’d be the death of you today since you dare to come out.” Gu Ji cackled. He knew that it would be difficult to kill Di Jing at the latter’s peak but it was a different story now that Di Jing was severelyinjured.

“Die!” Gu Ji shouted with a cold voice as he thrust his long spear and created a hole in the Void.

“Even if I die, you won’t live well.” Di Jing was infuriated.

For the past 1,000 years, he heard ruthless mockery and scolding from outside the palace day after day. He couldn’t endure it any longer.

He would rather die now as a hero then continue living as a coward in the palace.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The two moved like lightning, creating a big ruckus. The experts from the three big countries, as well as those from Tang of the East, were alerted of this battle.

Numerous experts from Tang of the East appeared above the imperial palace, with Leng Rushuang spearheading them.

Emperor Xiao and Emperor Leng, however, were still resting to recover from their severe injuries.

“Di Jing attacked!”

“Didn’t Emperor Xiao command us not to leave? Why did he still fight?”

“Humph! How can anyone stand being mocked every day? It’s no surprise seeing how hot-tempered Di Jing is!”

“Di Jing was heavily injured in the last battle and had yet to fully recover. To begin with, Dao Master Gu Ji is stronger than him. The result of this battle is likely…”

The experts from Tang of the East were all pessimistic.

Following an explosive noise from the battlefield, Di Jing’s weapon flew out of his hand while the shockwaves threw his body backward. Gu Ji took advantage of the situation and charged ahead, piercing Di Jing’s head.

“Oh no!”

“Hurry! Save him!”

“Save him!”

Blood drained from the faces of the experts from Tang of the East. Leng Rushuang charged forth, leading the rest.

However, there was someone faster than her.

The person didn’t come from within the palace but rather somewhere near the imperial palace.

“Haha! Die, Di Jing!”

Gu Ji had a sinister expression as he left out a cunning laughter. His long spear was already right in front of Di Jing, ready to penetrate his skull.

However, just then, a blood-red Flowing Light entered the battlefield.

A powerful force erupted and blocked Gu Ji’s spear, even sending shockwaves to his body.

“What?”

Gu Ji came to a stop and stared straight ahead.

A young man wearing a blood-red robe stood there calmly, with three quadrangular stars on his mid-brows.

He carried a sword and emitted an Eternal Realm aura that gave Gu Ji a strange feeling and a slight pressure.

“It’s just an insignificant ant in the Eternal Realm. What happened?” Gu Ji frowned.

Di Jing, who had almost died, opened his eyes wide in bewilderment, staring intensely at the man in front of him.

The man was too familiar to him.

“Hadn’t he died 1,200 years ago?”

“J-Jian…” Di Jing stuttered.

The person turned his head and replied calmly, “Senior Di Jing, please return to the imperial palace.”

Di Jing was shocked but he suppressed his joy. After shooting Gu Ji a sympathetic glance, he turned around and ran.

“Humph! Want to run?” Gu Ji sneered as he didn’t intend on letting Di Jing leave.

It would be ridiculous for him to miss such a good opportunity to kill Di Jing!

Gu Ji took a step forward and closed in for 10 miles. Simultaneously, he clenched his right hand into a fist to throw his spear out, emitting an extraordinary strength that propelled the spear forward. The force, as well as the thunderbolts surrounding the spear, easily pierced through the Void.

Many Dao Masters turned pale upon witnessing his terrifying power.

This move bore Gu Ji’s full power as a top-tier Rank Two master.

The spear charged directly at Di Jing but before it could land on him, the young swordsman inserted himself in front of Gu Ji in an attempt to block the attack.

“How dare you!”

Following Gu Ji’s cold voice, the power of the spear increased again.

“Even a Rank Two master like Di Jing couldn’t block this attack. How can an Eternal Realm expert withstand it?”

Indeed, the red-robed young man was unable to block the spear and it directly hit his chest.

“Clang!”

The noise was akin to metals colliding. After the sound disappeared, all momentum and aura returned back to normal.

Two men stood facing one another in the Void.

Gu Ji remained in the position where he had thrown his spear, while his spear was still on the young man’s body.

However, the spear didn’t even penetrate the young man’s clothes, much less kill him.

The young man stood there calmly. The spear was powerful indeed, but he never backed down too.

“H-How is this possible?”

Gu Ji widened his eyes in bewilderment.

Being a top-tier Rank Two Dao Master, it was ridiculous that he failed to even penetrate the clothes of someone from the Eternal Realm with his spear, especially since he had used his full force.

“Is this a joke?”

“H-He…” Gu Ji stared intensely at the young man as an idea popped up in his head.

Even though he was only from the Eternal Realm, there could only be one Sword Principle cultivator with such power.

“He must be…” Staring at the red-robed young man, Gu Ji’s surprise turned into astonishment.

“Jian Wushuang!”

“You’re Jian Wushuang!”

His shriek shook the entire imperial palace.

A mysterious smile crept up on the young man’s face.

His crisp laughter then resounded in the air.

“Let me introduce myself…”

“I’m the Emperor’s son-in-law of the Great Tang… Jian Wushuang!”

“Let me introduce myself…”

“I’m the Emperor’s son-in-law of the Great Tang… Jian Wushuang!”

His crisp voice resounded in the world, brewing an unexpected storm that shook everyone.

Everyone, be it experts from the three big countries or those inside the imperial palace, widened their eyes in disbelief.

Jian Wushuang?

The peerless genius that showcased his incredible strength and talent 1,200 years ago? The one who saved Tang of the East from destruction all by himself?

“Isn’t he dead?”

“How?”

“How are you still alive?”

Dao Master Gu Ji stared at Jian Wushuang with uncertainty before his murderous intent returned.

“Humph! So what if you’re Jian Wushuang? You’re still only in the Eternal Realm! In the battle of the imperial palace 1,000 years ago, you must have used a trump card to show such incredible strength! It’s unfortunate you won’t be able to use such a trump card again!” Gu Ji said coldly.

His expression became more twisted.

He was extremely jealous of Jian Wushuang.

Now that he had seen Jian Wushuang in person, he began harboring the ambition and desire to defeat Jian Wushuang in front of everyone and enhance his reputation all across the Eternal World.

“I don’t believe someone from the Eternal Realm can be this powerful!”

Gu Ji moved once more following his crazed roar.

Dark flashes of blinding light surrounded his spear as it pierced ahead. The light shrouded his eyes too.

“Venomous Dragon Killing!”

With an incredulous murderous intent, the spear and the dark lights pierced forth.

That was the perfect showcase of the power of a top-tier Rank Two Dao Master!

He utilized his trump card, making this attack stronger than the previous one. Furthermore, he aimed at Jian Wushuang’s midbrows this time.

Jian Wushuang smiled in the face of such a terrifying force and didn’t even try to evade it. Instead, he spread his red robe open like a scarlet armor and it perfectly enveloped his head.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal colliding once again resounded, alongside the sparks of flames. Jian Wushuang didn’t budge.

“Impossible!”

Gu Ji shrieked crazily, in disbelief over the fact that his attack was ineffective.

The previous spear merely touched Jian Wushuang’s body. With his intense physical strength, it was entirely possible for him to defend himself perfectly.

However, Gu Ji couldn’t accept that his trump card and his full force attack aimed at Jian Wushuang’s midbrows still left him unscathed.

“Exactly how terrifying is his defense?”

Everyone spectating this battle shared the same thoughts.

“How can he be unscathed after receiving the brunt of a top-tier Rank Two Dao Master’s full force attack? How many people in the Green Fire World can do the same?”

These people were unaware that Jian Wushuang’s strong physical body and Blood-killing Plate Armor, which reduced 99 percent of the force of the attack, could defend him from even Rank Three Dao Masters.

“I let you attack with your spear twice. Shouldn’t you face one of my fingers now?” Jian Wushuang smiled mockingly.

“Oh no!” Gu Ji was petrified.

Jian Wushuang didn’t give him any chance to escape. His Ancient God Power, which had achieved the Three-star power, condensed on the index finger of his right hand, spreading its aura all across the land.

“Ancient God Finger, Barrier-breaking!”

Jian Wushuang pointed his index finger, which contained an intense force, at Gu Ji in front of him.

“Boom!” A giant hole was ripped open in the Void. Within the changing colors of the heavens, a giant gold finger came flying from the distant past. It shot right out of the hole and directly hit Gu Ji.

As a top-tier Rank Two Dao Master, Gu Ji couldn’t help using all his life-preserving trump cards for survival. He ran and screamed, all while still struggling. However, such struggles seemed futile in face of the giant gold finger.

Without a single chance of escape, he was entirely crushed and killed by the giant gold finger.

“Now, let me settle the three of you.”

Jian Wushuang stared coldly at the three Dao Master on the side of the battlefield.

Since the three of them had come here with Gu Ji to mock Emperor Xiao and Emperor Yun, Jian Wushuang wouldn’t simply let them off.

“Let’s run!”

“Hurry and run!”

They scrambled to escape once they saw that they were at a complete disadvantage.

Jian Wushuang sneered as he used his Mind-controlling Secret Skill.

Mind-controlling Secret Skill was another Secret Skill from the Ancient Gods. The effectiveness of the skill improved alongside his enhanced Ancient God Power.

The sudden consciousness attack on the three Dao Masters completely stunned them as they were only Rank One Dao Masters. Their bodies inevitably stopped moving.

Then, the devastatingly beautiful sword shadow descended.

It was as cold and beautiful as snowflakes from the winter as it sliced their throats and destroyed their life cores.

The three corpses fell to the ground.

Jian Wushuang kept their Interspatial Rings and snorted. “With my strength and Mind-controlling Secret Skill, it’s a piece of cake for me to kill Rank One Dao Masters.”

Dao Masters were all capable experts with good life-preserving abilities.

Normally, it would be hard for them to even die.

However, thanks to consciousness attacks such as Mind-controlling Secret Skill, it was indeed easy for him to slaughter Rank One and Rank Two Dao Masters.

After killing the four Dao Masters, Jian Wushuang raised his head and stared ahead.

10 experts from the three big countries had already gathered in front of him. Three people led them.

They were here to rescue Gu Ji after realizing that he was in danger. However, Jian Wushuang struck too quickly and instantly killed the four Dao Masters, making it impossible for them to do anything.

“Jian Wushuang.”

The experts stood there, looking at Jian Wushuang with extremely complicated emotions.
