The middle-aged man slowly walked into the hall silently.
Chen Luoyang looked at him quietly.
The middle-aged man didnât seem to have any hostility, and there was no sword qi or sword intent on his body.
After entering the hall, he looked left and right before pointing to the seat below Chen Luoyang. He asked as if he was chatting casually, ââCan I sit here?â Chen Luoyang looked at the other party with great interest. He raised his hand and made a âpleaseâ gesture.
The middle-aged man nodded and turned to look at Chen Luoyang after he sat down.
Although he was in a lower position, he didnât feel inferior at all.
However, there was no arrogant provocation.
Everything was so calm.
He was so calm that it made people doubt his identity.
However, King Kongâs expression was extremely solemn.
After the middle-aged man entered the hall, the wind and rain outside disappeared.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared after the rain.
â Cult Master Chen, nice to meet you. Iâm Wang Jian of Eastern Sea. â The middle-aged man looked at Chen Luoyang and introduced himself.
King Kongâs expression became even more nervous.
It was indeed the Master of the Wang Clan in the East Sea, Sword Emperor Wang Jian.
Outside the hall, the figures of Old Shou, Desolate Yuntian, and the others appeared.
Everyone from the Demonic Sect was like King Kong. Their expressions were solemn as they looked at Wang Jian in the hall.
Although Master Mingjue was a Buddhist Martial Emperor in the past, he had fallen to the twelfth level due to his old injuries and had never been able to return to the Martial Emperor Realm.
Even so, his method of manifesting the Fanyin Pure Land and turning the surrounding several kilometers into a Buddhist paradise was enough to make people imagine his former glory.
Now, Sword Emperor Wang Jian was a Martial Emperor expert who had reached the 13th level and condensed his sword will into a true form.
Back then, Black Emperor Xiuzhe had crushed the Thousand Tides Mountain Range with a flip of his palm.
Sword Emperor Wang Jian was as famous as Xiuzhe, so one could imagine his strength.
Xiuzheâs Heavenly Book of Black Deathâs weakness of being afraid of the scorching sun was an accident within an accident.
He couldnât expect Wang Jian to have such a fatal weakness in martial arts like him, right?
As a result, only the Cult Master could face him on the Six Dragons Sovereign
CarriageâŠ
Everyone from the Demonic Sect felt their hearts sink.
âYou may leave.â
At this moment, Chen Luoyang said indifferently to Vajra.
Yes, Cult Master.â Jin Gang glanced at Wang Jian, not knowing whether to be worried or relieved.
He bowed to Chen Luoyang with a complicated expression before taking his leave.
âPass down my order. Prepare to counterattack against the scoundrels who have invaded our Holy Region.â Chen Luoyangâs expression was calm as he instructed Desolate Yuntian, Zhang Tianheng, Elder Shou, and the others who were outside the hall.
When the Demon Cult members heard this, they were all in high spirits.
The Xia Emperor, Li Yuanlong, was fighting with the Demonic Sectâs Vermilion Bird Palace Hallâs Chief.
After the previous battles, the Southern Expedition Demon Coalition Army had already suffered significant losses.
After Sword Emperor Wang Jian left the enemy forces and acted alone, without his threat, the Demon Cult might have the ability to counterattack.
As for Wang Jian, the Sect Master would naturally greet him.
Everyone from the Demon Cult agreed in unison and then retreated.
There were only two people left inside and outside the hall.
Wang Jian sat quietly. When he heard Chen Luoyangâs words, he didnât have any reaction, as though it had nothing to do with him.
After all the experts of the Demon Cult retreated, his expression remained the same as he said to Chen Luoyang, ââ1 have come here today to ask Cult Master
Chen for a favor.â
âSpeak.â Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
Wang Jian nodded. â I wanted to ask your sectâs Chief Yan to teach me the way of the sword. However, Chief Yan refused. He said that the sword he created was only for Cult Master Chen.
Chen Luoyang chuckled when he heard this.
âBoring. â
âNo, I can feel it.â Wang Jian said softly, âWhen that sword is unsheathed, it will definitely be earth-shattering.â
Chen Luoyangâs tone was indifferent. â I can tell that you are very interested in this. Unfortunately, you seem to be unable to force out that sword. â
âCult Master Chen, you donât know.â Wang Jian shook his head.
He said seriously, â When I fought with Chief Yan, I could feel that the sword was a sword that sought victory. In order to win, I would give up everything and defeat everything.
What I want to see is that this sword has no worries. It has reached its peak and is at its most dazzling moment.
It wasnât a sword that was forced to accept the challenge, with regrets in his heart, hoping to not be defeated, hoping to defend.
That way, you wonât be able to see the true elegance of this sword.â
âDo you care about this?â Chen Luoyangâs tone was still very casual.
When I first came, I didnât understand Chief Yanâs sword, â Wang Jian said. â But after fighting with him, Iâm sure of this.
It doesnât matter to me who wins or loses, â he said calmly. â But I want to experience the extreme of this sword. â
Chen Luoyang looked at him quietly.
He believed that Wang Jianâs words were the truth.
Otherwise, even if Wang Jian was unable to force the Demon Sectâs Vermilion
Bird Palace Hall Chief to use the sword technique that was his final killing move, Wang Jian and the Xia Emperor Li Yuanlong should be able to put enough pressure on the Vermilion Bird Palace Hall Chief if they joined forces to fight two against one, right?
Wang Jian was determined not to make a move.
After the Great Elder of the Demon Cult was defeated by Emperor Xia, the main force of the Southern Punitive Demon Coalition Army immediately gained the upper hand.
If he continued to be held back by Wang Jian, the Demonic Sectâs Vermilion Bird Palace Hall Chief could only sit and watch Emperor Xia lead his army straight in.
His mentality was inevitably affected.
However, Wang Jian didnât even take advantage of this and immediately stopped.
Only then was the Demonic Sectâs Vermilion Bird Palace Hall Chief able to replace the injured Great Elder to fight Emperor Xia.
âSince youâre so focused on seeking the sword, you should go find Tao WangJi.â Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
Iâve been to the Sword Pavilion ten times in the past three years, â Wang Jian said with a faint smile. â Please enlighten me, Pavilion Master.
Chen Luoyang tilted his head slightly and sized him up. âââTen battles, all defeated?â
âYeah,â Wang Jian nodded frankly.
Chen Luoyang looked at him with a strange gaze.
âWith Cult Master Chenâs experience, you might not be able to understand it.â âAfter all, your name shook the world when you debuted at the age of sixteen.
Youâve never been defeated,â Wang Jian said calmly.
Strictly speaking, other than the fight with the Sword Emperor, the Demon Cult Master had never lost a single battle.
The only difference was whether the opponent could survive.
Chen Luoyang looked at the calm middle-aged man in front of him and recalled the relevant information that the Demon Cult had gathered.
To a certain extent, the other partyâs life path was completely different from that of the Demon Cult Master and the Demon Cult Vermilion Bird Palace Hall
Chief.
The Sect Master became the youngest Martial Emperor in the history of the Divine Lands at the age of sixteen. He became famous at a young age and shook the world.
Wang Jian held a sword for the first time when he was sixteen years old. It was the first time he practiced martial arts in his life. It was so late that it was hard to believe that he would have any achievements in the future, let alone todayâs achievements.
The Sect Master was a genius who had reached the Martial Emperor Realm at a young age. At the age of eighteen, he was called the Three Emperors along with the Sword Emperor and Saber Emperor. He was only twenty years old now.
Wang Jian started practicing martial arts late, so his improvement speed was not that impressive. He rose to the sky in one go and slowly polished himself step by step until he reached the Martial King Realm after he was thirty years old.
Ever since the Sect Master had started his cultivation, he had never lost a battle. The opponents he had defeated were all powerhouses of the Divine Prefecture.
Rumor had it that Wang Jian had lost more than he won in sword fights since he was young.
The highest record, losing to the same opponent seventeen times in a rowâŠ
In comparison, losing ten battles in a row under the Sword Emperorâs sword didnât seem to be anything strange.
He really didnât care about victory or defeat.
He only cared about whether he had gained anything or improved.
What he cared about was his pursuit of Sword Dao.
What he cared about was to appreciate the most brilliant and dazzling style of all kinds of sword techniques in the world. Just like that, they walked down the path.
Looking back now.
Although he had lost many battles, as long as he won once, the other party would not be able to overtake him.
Although he did not soar to the sky in one go, he won in his steadiness. He took one step at a time and broke through a realm every two years. It was never too much or too little. He started learning martial arts at the age of sixteen and reached the twelfth realm at the age of forty. He was nurtured and stood at the peak of the Martial King Realm.
Although he had only touched a sword for the first time at the age of 16, he had already become the second sword in the Divine Prefecture after the Sword Emperor four years ago.
âInteresting.â Although Chen Luoyang said this, his expression didnât seem to care.. âAre you implying that I have become a hindrance in your opponentâs heart, preventing you from fighting to your heartâs content?â
