Chapter 639: Chapter 56: The Fifth Martial Arts Legend! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Murong Longtu’s swordplay was so unrestrained and wild, stirring up a tempest of mystical weapons. Guan Yi, as composed as a Military School’s Great General commanding his troops, held his weapon, flinging one mystical weapon after another into the air with the most ancient and precise martial maneuvers, his demeanor cold and exacting.

He utilized every ounce of strength, every surge of power to its purest extreme.

Meanwhile, the elder on the other side was wildly unrestrained, like a madman who had drunk his fill, his brushstrokes bold and unrestrained as he wrote, with no fixed form in his martial style, utterly different from the other’s.

The Sword Madman’s swords scattered everywhere.

In the end, fifty-seven mystical weapons crisscrossed the skies, swirling and howling with overwhelming momentum. The Sword Madman paced through the void, casually grabbing a sword to execute a sword move, seemingly effortless, yet each was a unique, unparalleled sword technique.

Jiang Su, donned in armor, dispersed all those sword energies with his ancient and calm moves.

Initially, the martial artists gathered close to watch, but as the Sword Madman’s sword qi surged, they had no choice but to retreat a hundred feet. When those fifty-seven mystical weapons intertwined, everyone stumbled back even further.

They could not approach, nor dared to.

Even their swords, quivering as if weeping, left the Valley Master of Sword Casting Valley speechless, only able to sigh while Yuwen Lie and He Ruoqinhu displayed complex expressions.

Martial artists of the Martial World often boast about their carefree delight; such famed generals view it disdainfully.

Carefree?

Carefree my ass!

How carefree can you be when tens of thousands of heavily armored soldiers encircle the mountain?

Or when thousands of crossbows are set, ready to pierce through you with qi-breaking bolts?

Carefree is it?

Even a martial artist with overwhelming Inner Qi and strong bones would break both bones and be thrown flying if they were to be charged by a mighty horse that, armored with thousands of pounds together with the rider, could travel thousands of miles in a day with fierce speed.

Even if one manages to avoid the charge of one rider, what about a hundred, a thousand in formation?

Martial artists’ Inner Qi will eventually exhaust. Utterly depleted, scattered, shattered, they would die under the relentless charges and trampling.

A few centuries ago, didn’t a living Buddha, claimed to be an Indestructible Vajra reincarnate from Western Heaven, end up having his limbs broken by a Tuyuhun of serf origin, stuffed into a sack, and trampled over by heavy cavalry until he turned into a mush?

But witnessing the duel between Jiang Su and Murong Longtu, they indeed recognized the existence of such pinnacle figures in the Martial World, worthy of being called legends. This Grandmaster had never before manifested such terrifying prowess.

Such martial legends, even with thousands of the best led heavy cavalry, would be difficult to trap and kill. If such experts were to brazenly resort to assassinations, they could destabilize an entire army.

Fortunately, warriors who reach this level, whether righteous or nefarious,

are all too proud.

to stoop to such actions.

Luckily, such beings are indeed rare.

Boom!!!

The intense booming sounds, the aftermath of the duel between the Sword Madman and Guan Yi, caused palaces to collapse. Meanwhile, far away, Crown Prince Jiang Gao asked a general of the Tiger Barbarian Cavalry how long it would take to reach the Capital by forced march, and he replied:

"Even if we, the heavy cavalry, charge at full speed without any regard, it would still take between one to two hours."

"By the time we return, it will already be daylight, and after such a relentless run, I fear our combat strength will have plummeted from its peak. Your Highness, shall we still charge?"

Jiang Gao shook his head, speaking calmly, "No need. Send the message via Flying Eagle to the imperial guard and the guards near the Capital to form up outside the city and await the Emperor’s command. And the rest of you generals need not be so vigilant."

"With Grandmaster Jiang Su in the Capital, The World’s Number One Divine General, a Martial Arts Legend."

"Neither the Sword Madman nor Li Guan alone entering the Capital could breach its defenses. In my view, one is just the Sword Madman’s wild nature, and the other is Li Guan’s meeting with my father."

"There’s no danger since they weren’t stopped; thus, there’s no need for concern."

"Let the soldiers retreat, set up camp as usual, and let’s not be the laughingstock of the Qilin Army."

Jiang Gao dismissed everyone and, like usual, appeared calm and composed during his camp inspections, talking and laughing with the soldiers, which quelled the unrest among the Tiger Barbarian Cavalry until he himself returned to his tent, where he then slightly paled.

With his hand on a cup, Jiang Gao trembled uncontrollably due to worry, and clenched his teeth:

"Daddy, Ayuan, be careful..."

"Let nothing go wrong."

......

Sitting on the Mystic Turtle which erupted with ultimate speed, Old Si Ming shouldered Shaking Light as they desperately rushed toward the direction of the Ying Country’s imperial city. The silver-haired girl looked up into the distance.

The sky was filled with surging Primordial Qi, and the celestial phenomena were terrifyingly altered.

Old Si Ming grinned, "Excellent Sword Qi, excellent Sword Intent. That old guy Murong Longtu, when it comes to swordsmanship, there haven’t been many swordsmen through the ages who could surpass him."

"But, has the old man gone mad?"

"He said he was out for an antidote and ran off directly with that stinky kid Li Guan. Damn!"

"That old youngster Li Guan, just the thought and he was also racing over!"

Old Si Ming cursed as he rushed onward, the Mystic Turtle maximizing its speed while he tried to reassure Shaking Light, saying, "Don’t worry, don’t worry. Those two, old and young, aren’t likely to be in deadly danger today."
