Legend of Swordsman

....

Facing countless waves of energy, he surged upward.

A fist pounded against Jian Wushuang.

At that moment, he had completely gained the upper hand.

Jian Wushuang was no match at all at this point.

Under the relentless onslaught, Jian Wushuang completely abandoned defense.

The intense battle made the spectators gasp in shock.

They could see that Jian Wushuang’s divine power was starting to decline.

While Shi Jiu’s divine power was continuously rising.

“What’s going on?” Muchen exclaimed, “Wasn’t it Shi Jiu who activated the prohibition?”

Not only him, even Wu Li was very puzzled.

Clearly it was Shi Jiu who exerted the power of the prohibition. For such a long time, Shi Jiu hadn’t weakened due to backlash, but instead Jian Wushuang’s divine power had been continuously decreasing.

Now Jian Wushuang’s rate of recovery couldn’t keep up with the consumed divine power.

Shi Han’s eyes gleamed with excitement, he exclaimed, “The peak treasure personally refined by Fifth Lord, how could it be so simple? Jian Wushuang is going to lose!”

The three Emperors who had been defeated earlier now showed a slight recovery, staring at the two figures on the battlefield, shaking their heads in sighs.

Originally, they thought Jian Wushuang had won for sure, but they didn’t expect Shi Jiu to turn the tables.

But now, whoever wins between the two within the barrier, they can accept it.

Because their strengths have exceeded their expectations.

Even though everyone has heard of the Grand High Priest!

But they have never witnessed this before. This time, they have witnessed from start to finish, two super emperors fighting desperately.

The divine power had surged from an initial 130,000-fold to a staggering 200,000-fold.

“Is he going to lose?” Empress Fengchen also didn’t favor Jian Wushuang anymore.

She originally thought Jian Wushuang could definitely win, but now Shi Jiu was getting stronger and stronger, completely unaffected by the prohibition’s backlash.

Jian Wushuang, on the other hand, was getting weaker and weaker, with hardly any chance left.

Unless there’s a trump card.

The eldest princess Jinchen behind the screen was the most excited.

Clap!

She directly tore through the screen and rushed out.

Standing at the edge of the barrier, she looked excitedly at Shi Jiu.

This scene, no matter who it was, would be deeply moved!

Her beloved, risking his life for her.

For the sake of marrying her, Shi Jiu had sacrificed a lot.

Seeing this scene, the empress remembered the past.

The hindrance ceased to exist.

Because once Jian Wushuang lost, she wouldn’t have any excuses.

It was her own commitment initially, impossible to retract.

If she did, it was feared that Shi Xiu would personally intervene.

At that point, being in the wrong would lead to losing the upper hand.

Bang!

A muffled sound echoed as Jian Wushuang’s left arm shattered completely.

That was the arm integrated with the Candle Dragon’s!

And it was forcibly broken by Shi Jiu.

Blood gushed continuously from the wound.

Jian Wushuang’s divine power plummeted by about 10,000-fold.

Now, his divine power was only around 160,000-fold.

With one hand holding the arm just torn from Jian Wushuang’s body, Shi Jiu didn’t seize the opportunity to attack again. Instead, he stood still, staring at Jian Wushuang and said, “You’ve lost. If we continue, it will come to life and death!”

“Hehe…” Jian Wushuang supported his wound with one hand, emitting a sinister chuckle.

This was the first time someone had pitied him.

Admit defeat?

He had never even considered surrendering to someone of the same level.

“It’s time to end this!” Jian Wushuang forced a bitter smile.

Originally, he wanted to drag it out and see, but he found he couldn’t outlast the opponent at all.

So, there was no need to persist.

“Your strength is formidable, your foundation must be much stronger than mine. If it weren’t for the treasures my grandfather gave me, I would have lost long ago!” Shi Jiu tried to console Jian Wushuang.

But Jian Wushuang straightened up, a surge of vitality transmitted, instantly regenerating his lost arm.

However, his divine power didn’t increase.

There was no longer any necessity.

Even if he restored it to 190,000-fold, it would be meaningless.

After moving his arm slightly, Jian Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relaxed.

“You’re wrong about that. In fact, my divine power is nowhere near yours!” Jian Wushuang shook his head.

He originally thought he was on par with the opponent in controlling divine power.

Now it seemed he had guessed wrong.

There was indeed a gap; after all, the other party had been cultivating divine power since childhood.

How could he possibly surpass the other?

This place was the Ancient Moon Spacetime, a super temporal river much more powerful than the Moro Spacetime of the past.

The Qishen Temple was nothing impressive here.

What he had witnessed was nothing more than an inheritance left behind by a Half-Step Tribulation Realm expert.

In the Ancient Moon Spacetime, even the Nine Tribulation realm had appeared.

How could it be comparable to the Qishen Temple?

In this spacetime, it wouldn’t be surprising even if an Emperor stronger than Jian Wushuang appeared.

For the thousands of years he had descended, Jian Wushuang was actually quite disappointed with the Ancient Moon Spacetime.

It wasn’t until today that he felt a hint of joy.

A sense of battle intent also arose in his heart.

In just one ancient wood continent, there emerged a super Emperor like Shi Jiu.

And it’s likely that the opponent’s strength wasn’t even the strongest among the Emperors in the Ancient Wood Continent; there were even stronger geniuses in the Shi Kingdom.

The core disciples of the Emperors in the Ancient Wood Sect were also formidable.

And this was just the Ancient Wood Continent.

He hadn’t even traversed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths yet.

Countless Emperor geniuses shouldn’t just be heard of.

That would be inaccurate.

Just like Shi Jiu in front of him, initially everyone thought his strength was only 130,000-fold.

Now it had surged to 200,000-fold.

That High Priest who had lived through several eras probably had even deeper reserves.

It’s possible that even he wasn’t a match.

As long as they hadn’t fought before, one couldn’t be certain the other was weaker.

At first, Jian Wushuang thought he might be the first.

Now he didn’t have that confidence anymore.

But!

He had the confidence to strive for the position of the first.

Outside the barrier.

Seeing Jian Wushuang’s aura sink, the expressions of the crowd changed. Although there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, seeing Jian Wushuang about to give up, they couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Wu Li’s expression also turned serious, inwardly lamenting, “Brother Wushuang, it’s time to bring out your true strength!”

“It’s over, even Nephew Wushuang is giving up!”

“It’s already very good. With such strength, you guys from Yue Kingdom can definitely be absorbed into the core. Your future achievements won’t be weaker than those top talents from Shi Kingdom!”

Shi Han’s expression remained indifferent because Shi Jiu was about to defeat Jian Wushuang soon, making him naturally relaxed.

Moreover, he had a plan in mind. If Yue Kingdom didn’t absorb Jian Wushuang into its core, then he would personally guide Jian Wushuang to Shi Kingdom.

Get him to enter the core of the royal family.

In the Shi Kingdom royal family, it wasn’t only the Shi family.

There were also elders from other families.

As long as they were core figures, they enjoyed the same treatment as the strong of the Shi clan.

They could also participate in the Sacred Assembly.

This Sacred Assembly was extraordinary, and the number of spots would increase.

In a divine-level country like Shi Kingdom, how could it be the same as Yue Kingdom, with only 20 spots?

By then, they could easily secure a spot for Jian Wushuang.

Inside the barrier, Jian Wushuang never expected that after scheming with Wu Li like this, they still hadn’t secured a spot until today.
