son, don't mess around

Chapter 645: The Xuanyang Diagram Does Not Exist

More than a year ago, Senior Li taught Lin Jiangnian martial arts in Ruyi Tower and taught him the supreme sword art - "Nine Sword Techniques"!
This is the core and top martial arts of Kendo, and only the current sect master and his disciples can learn it.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For example, Lin Jiangnian was not a disciple of the sword, but he also "stole" knowledge from Senior Li. Another example is Li Piaomiao... Although she was not a direct disciple of the sword, nor was she the future leader of the sword, as the eldest princess of the Daning Dynasty, she was definitely the most powerful person.

However, compared to Li Piaomiao, the master of the sword art, and his direct disciples, Lin Jiangnian had learned one more move in the Nine Sword Arts than them—the last move of the Nine Sword Arts that had been lost for many years!
It was rumored that many years ago, a rebellion had occurred in the sword sect, which had extremely disastrous consequences. The once-great martial arts sect was almost destroyed.

Finally, the leader of the sword sect surrendered to the imperial court, and with the court's support, he was able to regain his foothold and avoid losing his heritage.

But even so, this civil strife caused heavy losses to the sword art. Countless rare treasures were lost, and martial arts secrets were lost or destroyed, leaving the art almost devastated.

Especially after the whereabouts of the previous leader of the sword art became unknown, the last move of the Nine Sword Techniques was also cut off!
Although the sword art is still strong today, it has lost its former glory. The largest martial arts sect can only survive by relying on the imperial court.

In the martial arts world, kendo does not have a good reputation!
There are many reasons, but the ultimate reason is that Kendo has lost the complete "Nine Sword Techniques". In the eyes of many people, Kendo today is no longer the pure leader of martial arts.

Today, the sword has lost one leg and has become a pawn of the imperial court.

But more than a year ago, Lin Jiangnian learned the last move of "Nine Sword Techniques" from Senior Li!
It was for this reason that Lin Jiangnian had been speculating about the relationship between Senior Li and kendo.

Lin Jiangnian has practiced this move for more than a year and has kept it hidden for more than a year!

Over the past year, I have traveled from Linjiang City to the capital, and then from the capital back to Linjiang City, until now...

Lin Jiangnian had never revealed any information about the "Nine Sword Techniques" in front of outsiders. Even Zhiyuan only knew that her master taught Lin Jiangnian the "Nine Sword Techniques", but she did not know that her master also taught Lin Jiangnian the last move of the "Nine Sword Techniques".

Over the past year, Lin Jiangnian has devoted himself to studying. As his strength continues to improve, the power of "Nine Sword Techniques" is also increasing.

Until tonight, Lin Jiangnian had never taken any action!
He had been waiting for an opportunity, a perfect opportunity to strike a fatal blow!

Finally, he waited!
For the first time, he performed the last move of "Nine Sword Techniques" - Nine Swords!
The power of these nine swords was much stronger than any sword technique Lin Jiangnian had displayed before. Lin Jiangnian, whose strength was only at the third level, unleashed such terrifying force after using these nine swords that the leader, who was already seriously injured and fleeing in a hurry, could no longer bear it!

"I have waited for so long, and finally it has come!"

Under the moonlight, Lin Jiangnian's figure in a white robe was stretched out very long by the moonlight.

At this moment, all around was quiet.

Lin Jiangnian held up the sword and walked slowly to the leader. The tip of the Qiushui sword still had the "force" of the Nine Swords, and the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be filled with sword energy.

He lowered his eyes to look at the leader lying on the ground, unable to move, and suddenly sneered: "This prince said that it will not be easy for you to kill me tonight!"

"I didn't expect that you would eventually fall into my hands... It seems that I overestimated you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jiangnian raised the Autumn Water Sword in his hand.

The black-robed leader's pupils suddenly shrank, and his dark eyes stared at Lin Jiangnian.

He didn't expect that he would fail here!

He also didn't expect that this boy actually knew the last move of "Nine Sword Techniques"!
Back then, the leader of the sword-wielding sect relied on this supreme martial arts skill, and with the level of a first-class grandmaster, he was able to fight a grandmaster to a draw.

The power of these nine swords can be seen everywhere in the world!
If he was in a state of complete victory, he would naturally not be afraid. Even though Lin Jiangnian possessed nine swords, his own strength was too low to bring out the full power of the nine swords.

Unfortunately, he was seriously injured in the explosion just now, and he was severely damaged in the encirclement tonight, so he was almost at his weakest.

At this time, Lin Jiangnian, who had been hiding all night, finally made a move. As soon as he made a move, he revealed all his trump cards. The terrifying nine swords caught him off guard, leaving the leader no chance to react!
"Cough cough..."

The violent coughing made the black-robed leader tremble all over, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth.

However, Lin Jiangnian showed no mercy and the sword in his hand fell instantly.

At the moment of falling, the leader, who was lying on the ground dying, once again exuded a terrifying aura.

"It's really a scam!"

Lin Jiangnian sneered in his heart. He had long expected that the leader would never give up so easily and sit there waiting to die.

The moment he drew his sword, Lin Jiangnian's figure swayed, and the sword in his hand slipped out of his hand. The sword energy that permeated his body instantly rushed towards the black-robed leader from all directions.

"boom!"

The terrifying aura blocked Lin Jiangnian's sword energy, but in the next second, a flash of cold light passed by. The terrifying aura instantly dissipated, and the sword energy on Lin Jiangnian's sword was unimpeded.

It fell with a loud bang on the body of the leader, and the leader's aura seemed to disappear in an instant, and he remained motionless.

Lin Jiangnian raised his head slightly and saw a man in white appear not far away, looking at him quietly. There was also a cold light lingering on the edge of the sword.

Lin Jiangnian raised his sword and stepped forward, looking down at the black-robed leader who seemed to be dying. The sharp sword in his hand fell, mercilessly cutting the tendons of the leader's limbs, and at the same time, he stabbed the leader's dantian with a sharp sword.

As the sword fell, the leader's body was seen trembling suddenly.

At the same time, a hoarse roar of pain was finally heard from the leader beneath the bronze mask.

Dantian ruptured and internal energy dissipated!
Even if a god came, it would be difficult to save the current leader!

After doing all this, Lin Jiangnian finally felt relieved. This leader was the most threatening enemy he had ever seen, and he would never feel at ease unless he could completely eliminate him.

Only after he was sure that the leader was no longer a threat did Lin Jiangnian finally breathe a sigh of relief. He slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on the person in white in front of him.

Under the moonlight, Li Piaomiao, dressed in a white long skirt, walked slowly towards him, looking at him with a slightly complicated look.

He glanced at the leader on the ground, then looked at him without saying a word.

Lin Jiangnian smiled at Li Piaomiao, and the next second, he staggered, the Autumn Water Sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he sat down on the ground.

He was gasping for breath, his face was pale, cold sweat was pouring down his face, his whole body was trembling, he was dizzy, and the world was spinning... He had reached his limit.

Just as his thoughts were becoming blurred, a cool figure in white appeared beside him and grabbed his hand. Then, a chilling breath rushed into Lin Jiangnian's body.

The dry forest river seemed to be finally raining after a long drought, and a comfortable feeling came over me. My originally blurred consciousness also gradually recovered.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Jiangnian coughed twice, opened his eyes with difficulty, and smelled the fragrance of the woman while breathing. He raised his eyes slightly and saw Li Piaomiao squatting beside him, looking at him with a little worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't die..."

Lin Jiangnian's face was pale and his voice was weak. It was really dangerous tonight. I almost lost my life!

The leader was too powerful, and anyone who wanted to kill him had to take risks. Earlier in the grove, Lin Jiangnian had risked his life to lure the leader into the grove, and used the explosives that had been set up to try to send the leader to heaven!
It almost sent Lin Jiangnian to heaven!
If he had not been prepared, Lin Jiangnian would have immediately hidden in the secret cave after entering the grove. But even so, he was still shocked by the explosion.

But unexpectedly, such a horrific explosion still failed to drive away the leader, and he almost escaped.

However, the leader who was seriously injured in the explosion had his strength greatly reduced, which was a good opportunity to pursue the victory and defeat the enemy when he was down.

Until just now, Lin Jiangnian used the Nine Swords that he had hidden for a long time and finally stopped the seriously injured leader.

The power of the Nine Swords was far beyond Lin Jiangnian's expectations, but the internal energy consumed was also astonishing. Before the Nine Swords were fully unleashed, Lin Jiangnian was almost drained of energy.

Even more fiercely than when Li Piaomiao sucked him before!

Li Piaomiao didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly and continued to transfer internal energy into his body.

Then, Lin Jiangnian regained some strength, struggled to get up with difficulty, and looked at the leader lying on the ground in front of him.

The leader is still alive at this moment, but his breath is still very weak.

The tendons of his hands and feet were cut, his Dantian was destroyed, and all his years of internal strength training were gone in one day. Now, he was left with only a lingering breath.

Under the bronze mask, the pair of eyes that were originally sharp and deep now became a little lifeless, staring at Lin Jiangnian.

"In fact, you have been fooled all along!"

Lin Jiangnian met the leader's eyes. He was also weak, but now that Li Piaomiao was using his internal energy to heal him, his condition was much better.

The reason why the black-robed leader was kept alive was that Lin Jiangnian had some things he wanted to clarify.

Lin Jiangnian smiled at the leader and said, "In fact, there has never been any Xuanyangtu in this world. The prince has been lying to you all along."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes beneath the bronze seemed to burst out with a strong light, staring at Lin Jiangnian.

"What did you say?!"

After a while, the hoarse and low voice of the black-robed leader was heard.

"The Xuan Yang Map was a scam from the beginning to the end!"

Lin Jiangnian said calmly.

When he learned the truth, he was also surprised. He never expected that an unintentional lie would trigger such a chain reaction.

"More than a decade ago, you were the imperial teacher of a small country in Southern Xinjiang that was founded on witchcraft. At that time, the prince destroyed more than a dozen countries in Southern Xinjiang. The small country you were in happened to be one of them, right?"

"The predecessor of the Celestial God Cult was the group of expert warriors that you secretly controlled back then, right?"

"Your country failed to stop the Daning Dynasty's cavalry, and you were severely injured in the fight with Lin Hengzhong, breaking your bones and muscles. From then on, your cultivation strength stopped improving..."

"You were also a young genius who became famous at a young age. You became a first-class master before the age of 30 and were expected to become a great master before the age of 35. However, after being severely injured by Lin Hengzhong, you never recovered and your strength declined instead of improving. Until one day you heard that the Xuanyang Diagram could heal your bones and restore your peak strength, so..."

"On the one hand, you secretly developed the power of the Heavenly God Cult, thinking of killing Lin Hengzhong for revenge one day. On the other hand, you have been trying to find out the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Map, wanting to get it..."

Lin Jiangnian looked at the black robe in front of him. After nearly a year, he had finally found some clues about this leader through the powerful intelligence agency of the Linwang Mansion.

All the truth is revealed!
This leader was once the imperial teacher of a small country in southern Xinjiang!

He can be considered a person with extraordinary talent in martial arts. Even after being severely injured by Lin Hengzhong that year, he can still maintain the strength of a half-step grandmaster. This is enough to show the terrifying martial arts talent of this leader.

But, what a pity...

"The Xuan Yang Map is fake. There has never been any Xuan Yang Map. It is just something the prince made up to fool the world!"

Lin Jiangnian spoke slowly.

When the black-robed leader heard this, his whole body began to tremble violently.

"No, it's impossible..."

His voice was hoarse and he stared at Lin Jiangnian.

How could the Xuan Yang Tu be fake?
How could it not be?

"The prince did have some adventures back then, and he accidentally obtained a technique. After understanding that technique and studying it, he created the Xuanyang Heart Technique..."

It has to be said that Lin Hengzhong can be regarded as a genius. He was able to create such a peerless mental method through a single technique. He can definitely be regarded as a genius who achieved success late in life.

"Later, the prince realized the truth and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. Somehow the news got out, and some people said that the prince had inherited a unique skill, which was why his strength increased so greatly!"

"As for how the Xuan Yang Diagram was spread, I don't know, but I can be sure... there has never been any Xuan Yang Diagram in this world. Everything is fake."

Lin Jiangnian looked at the black-robed leader and spoke slowly: "The prince told me personally."

At this moment, the world seemed to be quiet.

The leader stood there in a daze, his whole body looked ferocious and his meridians were almost bulging.

But in the end, no movement!
His eyes were dull, as if he couldn't believe it... The Xuanyang Map he had been looking for for so many years turned out to be a scam?

Such a blow is indeed huge!

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian felt extremely happy.

The biggest blow to a person is the loss of hope. After years of pursuing a goal, you find that it is all in vain!

The power of lies is truly amazing!
No one knew how the news of the Xuan Yang Diagram spread. But the Xuan Yang Diagram was indeed fake and had never existed. As for how it spread to the martial arts world and attracted countless people to discuss and believe it to be true, that was unknown.

The fact that it has been able to deceive so many people over the years is truly extraordinary.

Looking at the dull-eyed leader in front of him, Lin Jiangnian struggled to stand up with the help of Li Piaomiao beside him and walked towards the leader step by step.

Right now, he had one more thing to do—to take off the bronze mask of the black-robed leader in front of him.

Take a look at what the person under the mask looks like!
