Chapter 333: Chapter 147 The True Name of the Bronze Tripod_3

"Miss Gongsun is also commendable,"

"Gentleman without a month, Tao calculates the universe."

"Even Old Zhou has a Breaking Formation Song."

"Damn it, who branded me the Mad King and you the Black Monk? It sounds like titles suited for a young hero’s lackeys, utterly lacking in style." Chen Chengbi was still rambling incessantly, even though sixty years had passed since then, whenever he mentioned such matters.

Chen Chengbi patted Li Guanyi’s shoulder, his hopes for him immense,

"Forge yourself a renowned name!!!"

The monk spoke gently, "However, that young Sword Saint was peerless in the Sword Dao. There are three great leaders in the world of swordsmanship, the first is Sword Madman, the second is Sword Saint, and the third is Gongyang Su Wang. Each of their names resound in their own right, having challenged each other numerous times."

"Among them, Sword Saint is second."

"Gongyang Su Wang has gradually tempered his temperament, while Sword Madman’s battle achievements shine gloriously."

"The Sword Saint holds great hopes for his grandson."

"Xu Huixiang, having grasped the swordsmanship of the Sword Saint, the six Palace Masters of the Academy, the innate Sword Control technique of the Taoist Sect, and the direct Heart Sword of Gongyang Su Wang, one of the six Palace Masters."

"Among the disciples of Gongyang Su Wang, few are accomplished in the Sword Dao."

"The demands of Confucianism are too high, Wang Tong, although he too practiced the Confucian teachings of Gongyang and trained in the Academy, cultivated Qi but not Confucianism; Sword Madman is domineering, the Murong Family defiantly defended the Eighteenth City, and ever since the events of that year, Sword Madman no longer teaches disciples."

"The Murong Family also no longer has any exceptional swordsmen roaming the Martial World."

"Xu Huixiang is effectively a successor cultivated by both the second and third in the Sword Dao."

"He embodies the swordsmanship inheritance of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Sword Saint, as well as that of the Academy, the Taoist Sect, and Confucianism."

"Although Sword Madman is far in the Jiangnan Eighteen States, he will surely take notice."

Chen Chengbi began to feel uncertain, saying, "There’s no helping it, if this kid had met you and me earlier, being trained for ten years, he wouldn’t be inferior to Xu Huixiang, but alas..."

The old monk said, "Young benefactor, remember, the Heart Sword of Confucianism directly questions the heart."

"The innate Tao, allegedly can slay a person from a thousand miles away."

"Do not underestimate the sword-controlling skills."

Li Guanyi nodded in agreement, his curiosity about Xu Huixiang, who never drew his sword, growing stronger. Born into a great family, instructed by a Grandmaster, and taught swordsmanship by two of the Palace Masters of the Academy, it was no wonder that he made it into the top eight of the martial contest without unsheathing his sword.

However, Sword Madman Murong Longtu...

Li Guanyi gripped his weapon, his emotions unclear.

Li Guanyi bid farewell to the two elders and upon his return to the Xue Family, arrived in time for the day’s first battle. Geshu Yin emerged victorious; although Zhou Liuying was also valiant, wielding a war spear and clashing with Geshu Yin for thirty exchanges, the gap in their realms was too vast, resulting in his weapon being broken, and his hand oozing fresh blood from the shock.

Still grasping the broken spear as a weapon, he fought on and took advantage of Geshu Yin’s underestimation.

To leave a wound on Geshu Yin’s face.

Then he was severely beaten by Geshu Yin, and the fight continued until he was exhausted, his pupils unfocused, almost fainting. Even then, he did not let go of the weapon in his hands, propping up his body, blood flowing down his young forehead.

One hand supported the broken spear, the other pointed ahead with the weapon, he shouted defiantly,

"My grandfather twenty-two years ago with the Breaking Formation Song, broke through your Iron Futu! I am his descendant, his blood still flows in me, the sons of the Central Plains are not dead, Iron Futu, you shall not prevail!"

Emperor Chen of Chen Country’s smile slightly faded, seemingly displeased.

However, Geshu Yin solemnly returned the salute, "You are the descendant of General Zhou."

"On the battlefield, I await your challenge to determine life and death."

"Good!"

Zhou Liuying laughed heartily, then fainted and was carried away, while Emperor Chen suppressed the dissatisfaction in his eyes and said indifferently, "Young children do not understand the great situation of the world and make reckless boasts; I apologize for their rudeness in the presence of our honored guests."

The Seventh Prince, however, expressed admiration, never stingy with his praise for an enemy:

"The offspring of a fierce tiger indeed has an intense spirit; they bear the look of a Fierce General. The descendant of that Breaking Formation should also take over his grandfather’s army, continuing the legend of infantry breaking cavalry, truly hoping not to face them again on the battlefield."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for having such loyal subjects to your kingdom."

Emperor Chen gave no definite response.

Li Guanyi watched Zhou Liuying, sensing the dedication to their kingdom in these young hearts.

And when he returned to the Xue Family to rest, Breaking Army came looking for him, "It’s almost time, Lord, the two battles tomorrow are between you and the Sword Saint’s grandson, with Chen Yuyun closing out. After the four victors are decided, there will be awards."

"That will be the moment when all eyes are upon us."

"Oh, right, I’ve gathered some intelligence, which you can look over."

Breaking Army handed over several files to Li Guanyi, who browsed through them. They contained records of Chen Yuyun, including his personality, martial arts, habits, and finally, when Li Guanyi flipped to the third page, he froze slightly.

It was a jade disc, and since Chen Yuyun had always claimed the jade came with him from birth, just as Ying Country claims their emperor is a reincarnation of a dragon or phoenix, this jade disc was seen by many, and Breaking Army had found someone with a photographic memory to draw it.

The jade disc, Kui dragon, water patterns.

But what the people of this world saw as water patterns, Li Guanyi recognized as text.

[Yu collected the metals of the Nine Territories to cast the Nine Cauldrons, each having been used to cook for the Supreme Deity and the spirits, with their achievements engraved upon them.]

Breaking Army froze, seeing his lord momentarily stunned, then looking up sharply. In Li Guanyi’s eyes, in addition to his personal vendetta, there was another kind of determination, one that was heavier and purer.

It seemed like a resolve to accomplish a certain deed at all costs.

This item, under these circumstances, Li Guanyi and his kin from his past life would make a similar judgment.

This item can only be in the hands of my own family.

I would bury it right here and now rather than leave it in Chen Yuyun’s hands.

Especially since this guy is a thief.

Li Guanyi exhaled and said, "When do we act."

Breaking Army answered, "Tomorrow night."

"After the grand banquet!"

"Good!"
