Legend of Swordsman

Unexpectedly, they received even more challenging news.

“What should we do?” Wu Li furrowed his brow.

Jian Wushuang, upon learning of it, shook his head silently.

Now was not the time to act.

They hadn’t even reached the main camp yet, so acting now meant either dealing with it discreetly without revealing their strength or abandoning Elder Muchen.

After much deliberation, Elder Muchen had been relatively kind to him, so abandoning him like this didn’t sit well.

But their current situation wasn’t truly exploring a mysterious realm; they were in the midst of the Sacred Assembnly’s assessment world.

Countless eyes from the outside world were watching.

“Imperial Uncle must be rescued. What are you hesitating for?” Princess Jinchen grew impatient.

It was one thing if it were just an Emperor like Jian Wushuang, but why were two Half-Step Fourth Tribulation Universe Masters hesitating here?

Upon hearing this, Wu Li felt awkward.

“Princess, things aren’t so simple. The other party is a Wolf King from the Celestial Wolf Secret Realm, a Half-Step Fourth Tribulation Universe Master with a divine power of up to 500,000. None of us, even if we join forces, are a match for them. Moreover, it’s not just one person; there are also two Universe Masters with a divine power of 350,000 each. Rushing over would not only fail to help Brother Muchen but also distract him!”

“Third Uncle is right, Jinchen, we can’t act recklessly in this matter!” Jian Wushuang chimed in to reassure.

Jiuhu was just a random teammate; naturally, he didn’t care much.

It would be best not to go at all.

However, Princess Jinchen paid no heed to these concerns and directly took out a communication token, starting to transmit a message to the Empress.

Seeing this, the others quickly intervened.

“Princess, we’re not refusing to rescue him. There’s no need to trouble Her Majesty!” Seeing this, Wu Li could only relent.

He knew Jian Wushuang’s strength was formidable, with at least 400,000 units of divine power.

And then there was Jiuhu, whose strength also exceeded 400,000.

With himself added, they could manage a fight.

But they had all left. What about Princess Jinchen?

The thoughts of the three were all the same.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang broke the deadlock, suggesting, “How about this? Jiuhu and I will go. Although my divine power might not be sufficient, I’m confident in my speed!”

“Then it can only be so!” Wu Li originally planned to take Jiuhu with him, but he didn’t expect Jian Wushuang to intervene. This was fine too; it would also be an opportunity to probe Jian Wushuang’s capabilities.

The reason Jian Wushuang took charge was mainly to avoid wasting time.

If they all went together later, who knows what might happen.

It’s better for him to take Jiuhu along.

Jian Wushuang’s aura surged as he calmly said, “Senior Jiuhu, let’s set off!”

Boom!

The two shot straight into the sky, heading towards the direction they had just come from.

In just a few breaths, they sensed a tremendous commotion coming from the sky ahead.

The entire sky was torn apart, and within the dark cracks, the fierce astral winds changed the color of the ground.

“Elder Muchen, we’re here!”

Swish!

Jian Wushuang and Jiuhu arrived almost simultaneously, directly blocking the two Universe Masters of the Third Tribulation Realm.

“Is it them?” Jiuhu’s gaze shifted as he saw these three formidable beings.

The strong figures of the Celestial Wolf Secret Realm also recognized Jiuhu.

Speaking of which, Jiuhu also hailed from a secret realm, just not on the Ancient Wood Continent.

He knew these powerful individuals from the Celestial Wolf Secret Realm as well.

“Tanlang, didn’t expect to see you here at the Sacred Assembly!”

Jiuhu threw a punch, directly sending one of the Third Tribulation Universe Masters flying. Then he arrived beside Elder Muchen, joining forces to resist the Fourth Tribulation powerhouse.

Tanlang was the Universe Master at the Fourth Tribulations, with a formidable divine power of up to 500,000, standing arrogantly in the void and attacking ruthlessly.

“Jiuhu, I never expected you to join the Yue Kingdom,” Tanlang replied coldly.

Seeing that both sides were acquainted, Elder Muchen spoke up, “Dao Friend, since we have not yet reached the main camp, why don’t we each retreat? There’s no need for hostility.”

At this moment, avoiding a battle was the wisest choice.

Otherwise, they would be the ones at a disadvantage.

“Haha, before seeing Jiuhu, if you had said that, I might have given your Yue Kingdom some face. But now, it’s impossible!” Tanlang turned to his two subordinates and ordered, “You two, hold off that kid with the sword on his back. Leave the rest to me!”

Although Jian Wushuang’s aura erupted, others could only perceive him as a Universe Master of the Third Tribulations. Thus, Tanlang regarded him as such, unaware that he was an Emperor.

Seeing this, Elder Muchen reminded, “Nephew Wushuang, if you’re not a match, retreat first. These beasts can’t threaten me!”

“Then stop talking nonsense!” Tanlang extended his sharp claws and launched a direct attack.

Jiuhu and Elder Muchen roared angrily, rushing forward together.

In fact, Elder Muchen’s earlier words were just polite.

He knew Jian Wushuang’s strength.

But Jiuhu was unaware.

He only knew that Jian Wushuang might be the strongest Emperor of the Ancient Wood Continent, comparable to a Universe Master.

Preparations had been made for the imminent rescue of Jian Wushuang.

Even while contending with Tanlang, their gaze remained fixed on Jian Wushuang’s safety.

They were facing two Universe Masters with divine power of 350,000 each.

Jian Wushuang stood in the void, slowly raising his hand to grasp the Wanjie Sword behind him.

At that moment, the void trembled.

The nearby battle groups slowed down.

Even Elder Muchen, knowing Jian Wushuang’s formidable strength, couldn’t help but marvel at this moment.

Jiuhu and Tanlang were stunned on the spot, momentarily forgetting they were still in combat.

The shock of Jian Wushuang drawing his sword was too great.

In the sacred grounds of the Ancient Wood Sect, the few strong observers watching Jian Wushuang remained calm.

Only Lian Xing seemed somewhat unsettled; he hadn’t expected Jian Wushuang to use the Wanjie Sword so quickly.

The Wanjie Sword was even more powerful than a Divine-tier sword blank.

To use the Wanjie Sword to kill two Wolf People with around 350,000 divine power each seemed like overkill.

Even the weakest puppets Jian Wushuang defeated before had 500,000 divine power.

Jian Wushuang could easily slay any Universe Master up to the Fourth Tribulation, regardless of their divine power.

Using the Wanjie Sword against two Universe Masters at the Third Tribulation seemed somewhat extravagant, but Jian Wushuang didn’t care.

The Wanjie Sword had yet to taste blood.

This was also an opportunity.

For two Universe Masters with 350,000 divine power each to be cut down by his Wanjie Sword was a sign of respect for them.

In the trembling void, the two wolf-head experts had no idea what kind of opponent they were facing.

“Tsk tsk, a greenhorn!” one of them with red fur around his neck sneered, launching an attack with his sharp claws directly aimed at Jian Wushuang’s face.

At that moment, Jian Wushuang drew the Wanjie Sword directly and slashed out.

The entire void fell silent.

The wolf-headed strongman with red fur didn’t even feel the power of the Wanjie Sword; his eyes lost their color.

“Fallen?” Tanlang’s expression changed drastically.

Jian Wushuang’s strength was even greater than he had imagined.

He had killed a 350,000 divine power strongman with a single sword strike.
