Chapter 644: Chapter 57 Opening the Path of the Martial World, Second to None Among the Scholars_2

Jiang Wanxiang saw Jiang Su’s expression and quickly stood up, laughing as he said, "Grandmaster, what crime is there to speak of?"

Jiang Su said in a deep voice, "I failed to stop the aura of Sword Madman Murong Longtu."

Jiang Wanxiang laughed and said, "The so-called crime is not giving one’s utmost effort, it’s having orders from above but not obeying them below. Grandmaster, you have not made these two mistakes. Moreover, the momentum of Sword Madman is extremely powerful. I heard that before this, he had secluded himself for ten years, and has now come all this way to settle karmic debts."

"It’s like a mighty army bearing down, possessing the advantages of timing, location, and harmony."

"One cannot stand in its way; to avoid it is the Righteous path. Grandmaster, you understand martial arts better than I, yet in the end, you still stood before Sword Madman. This does not fit with your sly and composed military strategy, perhaps it’s the pride of a martial artist, haha..."

"I truly cannot understand what goes on in the heart of a martial artist."

"Moreover, even I know that a clash between martial artists is like farmers tilling the land; it’s not merely about skills on paper. Many factors can affect the outcome."

"A true man with real ambition should not consider himself weaker than his opponent due to a single defeat, nor should he become arrogant after a victory; the victorious who become arrogant will eventually suffer defeat. Is that what a true hero is?"

"The unyielding weakling will eventually vindicate earlier humiliations, and only then can they be called a true hero."

"The world is vast, with endless victories and defeats."

"Before I die, I will not lose, Grandmaster, isn’t it the same for you?"

The aged Dragon smiled. Jiang Su lowered his eyes. As a legend of martial arts, he was still persuaded by Jiang Wanxiang, willing to serve under the Dragon and rush to that future. But this time, Jiang Su said, "I must also go to the Academy."

Jiang Wanxiang said in surprise, "Isn’t today’s battle enough?"

Jiang Su was silent for a long time before answering, "This battle was just his first strike after unsheathing his sword. But tell me, Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Sword Madman returning his sword to its scabbard after just one strike?"

"A sword unsheathed knows no return. In the end, it must reach the pinnacle."

"Within the ancient paths of Confucianism at the Academy, Su Wang is like the original Master."

"The battle at the Academy will be the most splendid one in the Martial World in eight hundred years."

"I cannot miss it."

Jiang Su looked at Jiang Wanxiang seriously, and Jiang Wanxiang looked back at him. As a great achiever of the Military School factions, Jiang Su was not oblivious to the fact that Central State and the Academy’s patrol affair would be the beginning of a great change in the world.

A famed General should know that seizing this opportunity to swallow Chen Country is the best strategy.

One step ahead makes a world of difference.

But as the spirit of a martial artist was still boiling, he was unwilling to miss this battle.

The World’s Number One Divine General may use any means necessary for victory.

But a Martial Arts Legend hopes to witness a splendid battle of martial arts. Contradictory characteristics gathered in Jiang Su, which is why he came here in person, in the capacity as Yin Country’s Great General, to admit his fault.

Jiang Wanxiang sheathed the Jiangnan Sword and said leisurely:

"The most splendid ultimate battle?"

Jiang Su answered frankly, "Murong Longtu is different from us."

We, the so-called Martial Arts Legends, seek ’Tao’."

"Murong Longtu."

"Follows ’Martial’."

"We four have glimpsed the ultimate path from different schools: Military, Taoist, Yin Yang, and Mixture. We pursue the ultimate in spirit and the control of qi and flesh, striving for the pinnacle of life."

"Murong Longtu walks the path of Martial, he himself is the sharpest sword."

"The military art of the Military School aims to stop warfare and achieve Unification of the World; but the martial art of a sword fighter is about victory and defeat, superior and inferior, life and death. For a sword, the shining pinnacle should be in the clash between martial artists."

"If Murong Longtu did not have the heart to achieve the ultimate in swordplay and killing, he wouldn’t have reached his current Mental State; and if he insisted on this path, he would not achieve longevity."

"But perhaps, such thoughts have never even crossed his mind."

"He has been cleaved by a sword."

"I want to witness his final pinnacle battle."

Jiang Su raised his head, looking at the Jiang Wanxiang before him.

At this moment.

The World’s Number One Divine General forgot about the world.

Jiang Wanxiang watched Jiang Su, then burst into laughter, saying, "Good! I shall also go. You will witness my great dream of the world, and I want to witness the scene you crave. After this return, we shall tear the world apart!"

Li Guanyi and Murong Longtu returned to the camp of the Qilin Army together.

On the way back, they encountered the hasty old Siming and Shaking Light.

Seeing Li Guanyi, Shaking Light seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

But the aging Siming, looking at Sword Madman, moved his lips slightly, sighed, and praised loudly, "What fine sharpness."

Murong Longtu just smiled calmly. When he returned to the Qilin Army, Li Guanyi saw the Tiger Barbarian Cavalry as ordered and disciplined as ever, with no chaos despite having just charged through with Sword Madman.

General Jiang Gao, dressed in military attire with a battle robe draped over his armor, smiled at him.

The gentle Crown Prince’s gaze was serene, "Marquis Qin Wu, in high spirits."

This must be the son Jiang Wanxiang truly valued.

The benevolent future ruler Li Guanyi said, "I simply had a drink with the Emperor of Ying Country, and incidentally, he’s a terrible chess player."

Jiang Gao was momentarily stunned, then realizing from Li Guanyi’s tone that all was well, he answered:

"Father is busy with the great affairs of the world, naturally, he wouldn’t expend too much energy on such matters as playing chess. Marquis Qin Wu, if you have an interest in chess, someday you and I could play a few games."

Li Guanyi laughed and waved his hand.

Thus, each returned to their own camp.

But the news spread rapidly outward, and as the word traveled across the world, Ling Pingyang fulfilled his promise to Li Guanyi, effortlessly taking Xu Yunxia, Xu Huilan, and others back to the land of Jiangnan.
