Chapter 208: Chapter 134: The Supreme Peak of Sword Dao, Delivering the Sword Tower Personally

Before the gates of the True Martial Mountain.

A silence pervaded.

Only Tang Qiu’s cries echoed, this former high and mighty Sect Leader of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion now weeping like a helpless child, with the corpses of several from the Inquiring Sword Pavilion before him. He reached out a trembling hand, only to jerk it back as if shocked.

He was terrified.

Although he didn’t know why True Man Tianjian spared his life, he dared not make any extra movements at this moment.

But no one from the True Martial Sect sympathized with Tang Qiu.

Especially those mountain-guarding disciples who had previously witnessed the faces of the people from the Inquiring Sword Pavilion; in their hearts, two words surfaced. ”Serves him right!”

Everyone only looked with reverence at the gradually silencing True Martial Sword monument, their eyes filled with admiration and wonder as if it were tangible.

The scene that had just unfolded was truly astonishing.

Thirty-six celestial swords formed a sword array, directly beheading Gu Changhe, overwhelming him without the slightest suspense.

A disciple of the True Martial Sect had already discerned the profound mystery within it. ”Senior Tianjian used... the Heavenly Gang Sword Array? Could it be that the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Sword Array was created by Senior Tianjian?”

While marveling, they also felt an unprecedented zeal; the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Sword Array had now become one of the True Martial Sect’s signature techniques, with many True Martial disciples exchanging for this sword array to practice together.

In the past, although they practiced the sword array diligently, they were never as eager and urgent as they were now.

They saw a faint connection with True Man Tianjian and harbored a deep-rooted aspiration: what if one day they could also independently wield the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Sword Array?

The three hundred newcomers all widened their eyes, internally shaken beyond measure.

Rumors are never as reliable as seeing with one’s own eyes.

True Man Tianjian was destined to become their lifelong goal to strive for.

Gou Dan clenched his fists, his eyes incredibly determined. ”One day, I will surely become as strong as Senior Tianjian and protect our True Martial Sect!”

During these days, he finally experienced the feeling of home once again.

There was ample food, clean clothes, a shelter that didn’t leak, and no one looked down on him. He could practice martial arts, and even his sister was allowed to stay with him on True Martial Mountain, filling his heart with gratitude.

Luo Wentian sensed the change in Essence, Qi, and Spirit among the surrounding disciples and smiled internally.

This was a good thing.

In fact, even though he had mentally prepared himself, he was still taken aback, clicking his tongue in surprise. He originally thought that Ning Qi would appear and engage in a duel with the Heart Inquiry Sword as before, but unexpectedly, Ning Qi didn’t even show up. He just activated the sword monument, and effortlessly dealt with Gu Changhe.

Before he could marvel at Ning Qi’s strength, he smiled and walked towards Tang Qiu, his voice somewhat calm: ”Sect Leader Tang, can we properly discuss the matter of the traitor now?”

Tang Qiu shivered all over.

The calm Luo Wentian appeared as terrifying as a demon in his eyes, like the embodiment of True Man Tianjian. He trembled, already understanding why he survived. He dared not meet Luo Wentian’s eyes and simply said: ”Alright, alright... Sect Leader Luo, it’s up to you.”

Luo Wentian smiled broadly, welcoming Tang Qiu inside as if the previous conflict had never happened. ...

At the foot of True Martial Mountain.

Not a sound was heard.

One by one, the arriving martial artists turned into sculptures, their mouths agape as they stared at the bodies falling from the sky, somewhat incredulous.

They had expected an epic battle.

But unexpectedly, it ended like this.

The Heart Inquiry Sword had been dealt with so easily, and True Man Tianjian hadn’t even appeared, which exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Chen Xing gasped, glaring angrily at Chen Yue: ”Why are you pinching me?”

Chen Yue murmured: ”This is real. The Heart Inquiry Sword was slain by True Man Tianjian!”

The veins on Chen Xing’s forehead throbbed, but his annoyance quickly turned into a long sigh. The shock in his eyes was no less than Chen Yue’s. ”This True Man Tianjian... truly terrifying. Before, I thought the True Martial Sect’s connection to the Prince was their good fortune, always felt that the True Martial Sect was too small to accommodate the Crown Prince, but now it seems I was shallow. A Prince remains a Prince; perhaps he had realized it long ago.”

Chen Yue nodded in agreement, then winced in pain as Chen Xing pinched her back when she wasn’t paying attention.

The two sisters were just a small part of the picture.

Thousands of martial artists were all in shock.

Once all the phenomena disappeared, and Tang Qiu vanished with Luo Wentian and the others into the mountain gate, waves of astonished exclamations arose. ”The strength of True Man Tianjian is immeasurable! Ranked thirty-sixth on the Celestial Being List? This is undoubtedly the greatest mistake in this edition of the Celestial Being List!” ”The fourteenth on the Celestial Being List was defeated so miserably, True Man Tianjian definitely has the strength for the top ten, possibly even top five positions!” ”Whoever said True Man Tianjian had little life left? Perhaps he is an elderly Sword God who matured late but rises unyieldingly, potentially reaching the Sword Saint realm before the limit of his lifespan, continuing for another millennium!”

Excited discussions erupted.

People unabashedly expressed their internal shock.

They were trying to elevate True Man Tianjian’s prowess as much as possible, lest they get ’slapped in the face’ again and again.

If not for the fact that the higher rankings of the Celestial Being List were occupied by peerless ancient monsters with formidable strength, they might have dared the ’great offense’ of placing True Man Tianjian in an unfathomable position.

But even so,

True Man Tianjian had already touched the pinnacle of a swordsman.

Some swordsmen could no longer help but compare him to the fifth-ranked ’Sun Chasing Sword King’ on the Celestial Being List.

The Sun Chasing Sword King was truly a Sword Dao legend, reigning as the ’Number One Swordsman in the World’ for two centuries, with no one able to challenge him. Any of his countless achievements were world-shaking, and no swordsman dared to stand alongside him.
