Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 618: The Battle for the Artifact
On top of Aofeng Mountain, affected by the heavenly fire, the ice and snow melted, leaving only a barren mountain.

The sword in the flute slowly stepped out from the depths of Aofeng Mountain, accompanied by a brilliant glow, which made Aofeng Mountain appear to be in spring colors.

"Have you made up your mind?" With a determined look, calm inner strength, and the sword in the flute that had recovered from its injuries, he walked towards the destined place step by step.

The words I said to my best friend before we parted kept echoing in my mind.

"Xiao Zhongjian, you want to fight Yin Xun Zhu Wu, do you need me to accompany you?"

"Ji Wushuang, thank you for your kindness. But my battle with Zhu Wu is related to the victory or defeat of Wu Chi and Zhu Huang's lineage. Others cannot interfere." As he said that, Xiao Zhongjian handed a sword manual to Ji Wushuang.

"This is... The Heavenly Sword Technique! The sword in the flute..."

"I have passed on my martial arts skills to Jin Wuhuan. It would be a pity if the Heavenly Sword Technique was lost in my hands. After observing you for a while, I think you are the most likely person to master the Heavenly Sword Technique."

"The sword in the flute has not yet produced any results. Why are you doing this?"

"If I don't come back, please take over Nirvana and stop him."

"Ah~, Xiao Zhongjian, I promise you."

"In this way, I can resolve this last regret with peace of mind."

After the memory ended, Xiao Zhongjian stepped in again, and he had realized something in his heart, "I always thought that I had understood the essence of the Heavenly Sword Style. As a result, in the final process of sword forging, I saw the appearance of Leng Shuangcheng, and I finally realized that I was still learning to sacrifice myself for the sake of the Tao."

In the alien demon world, Yinxuan and Zhuwu received a challenge from Xiao Zhongjian and understood that there would be an end between them.

However, he already had doubts about Emperor Qi Tian's intentions, so this was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of.

Ask Bu Jianque to return the strengthened Zhan Fengyue, and go to Tianmiao Peak to fulfill the battle appointment.

In the Ghost Palace, Bai Wangji suggested to Xuan Mo that they should attack the Otherworld first.

"What is the deep meaning of the military advisor's advice?"

"My Lord, the strength of the Otherworld Demon Realm has dropped to its lowest point in history since it descended into the Bitter Realm. It is now a good time to destroy it in one go. If we do not deal with the Otherworld Demon Realm first, when our world and the Purple Glory Dynasty are in the midst of a fierce battle, they will surely reap the benefits."

Xuan Mo asked, "How can the military advisor be so sure that the Ziyao Dynasty will not intervene?"

The world of consciousness has just arrived and is now in the dark. The Ziyao Dynasty is at its peak. If we intervene in the war between the world of consciousness and the otherworldly demon world, the world of consciousness will be attacked from both sides.

Bai Wangji analyzed for Xuan Mo: "Zi Yao Tianchao and the Hetero-Devil Realm fought repeatedly, and although they won a great victory, they suffered heavy losses. It is a period of recuperation and will never start a war again easily. As for the war between the World of Consciousness and the Hetero-Devil Realm, Zi Yao Tianchao must be happy to see the internal friction between the World of Consciousness and the Hetero-Devil Realm. Moreover, the damage caused by the Hetero-Devil Realm to the Central Plains also ensures that Zi Yao Tianchao will not take action against any person or force targeting the Hetero-Devil Realm. Because this will damage the foundation of Zi Yao Tianchao's notification to the Central Plains. In addition, if the master wants the World of Consciousness to last in the bitter world, it is not enough to have strength, but also to have enough prestige so that the people of the Central Plains will not reject it. The establishment of the Zi Yao Tianchao in the past was also based on the fight against the Hetero-Devil Realm, which created the current power. If the master can defeat the Hetero-Devil Realm, he will be able to establish prestige and achieve the goal of dividing the Central Plains. As long as the Zi Yao Tianchao is defeated again, the World of Consciousness can completely establish its rule in the Central Plains. For the people of the Central Plains, it is just a change of ruler. "

Bai Wangji's words moved Xuan Mo, and he immediately issued an order: "Well, pass it on, prepare to go to war with the Otherworld Demon Realm."

Bai Wangji revealed the information, "My Lord, before the war begins, I have one more thing to report about the Lord of the Otherworld, Yin Zhuwu."

"What's going on?"

"I have already obtained information. Yinxun Zhuwu and Xiao Zhongjian will duel at Tianmiao Peak. This will be the breakthrough point for the Lord to destroy the demon world."

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
Xiao Zhongjian went to Tianmiao Peak, ready to settle his feud with Yinxun and Zhuwu.

Halfway through the journey, a man blocked his way and said, "Sword of Heaven, I finally found you."

Xiao Zhongjian just felt that the person coming was extraordinary, but he didn't understand why, "You are..."

"Yagyu Kenying." The person who came was the Yagyu Kenying who had been looking for him all the way.

Seeing that Dategaryu was unable to calm down, Yagyu Kenkage let him move freely while he headed towards Aofeng.

Xiao Zhongjian was surprised and asked, "Well, Liu Sheng Jianying, a Japanese. I wonder why you are blocking my way?" Liu Sheng Jianying went straight to the point, "Be my witness."

"Sword of proof?" Xiao Zhongjian intuitively saw the sword shadow of Liu Sheng in front of him, which was the incarnation of the sword. "May I ask what the sword is in your mind?"

Yagyu Kenkage described the sword in his mind, "a sword of supreme beauty, unrivaled and flawless."

Xiao Zhongjian asked, "Did you find it?"

Yagyu Kenshin does not shy away from his own realm, "The sword is the way, I seek the way, I prove the way, I am still proving the sword."

"I see." Knowing the sword of Yagyu Sword Shadow, Xiao Zhongjian said with regret: "You are a man of sincerity. I should have challenged you. Unfortunately, I have a battle contract and need to maintain the most perfect condition. I cannot waste time here."

Liu Shengjianying only wanted to prove his sword, and had no other thoughts, "It's okay, I can wait for you."

Xiao Zhongjian didn't want to waste Liu Sheng Jianying's time, so he said frankly: "Even I can't predict the outcome of this battle. I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

"Hearing Xiao Zhongjian's frank words, Liu Sheng Jianying became interested in this battle, "Can I go and watch it?"

Xiao Zhongjian knew that the man in front of him was only after the sword and nothing else, so he immediately said, "Okay, but no matter what the result is, I hope you won't interfere."

"Okay." Xiao Zhongjian and Liu Sheng Jianying went to Tianmiao Peak together.

At the foot of Tianmiao Peak, Yinxuan and Zhuwu had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Zhongjian and Liu Sheng Jianying coming together, Yin Zhuwu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Well, I didn't expect you to bring someone with you."

Liu Sheng Jianying said: "I am only here to prove my sword. Xiao Zhongjian promised me that if he survives this battle, he will fight me next."

Yin Zhu Wu laughed when he heard this and said, "Xiao Zhongjian, you are really busy."

Xiao Zhongjian said: "During this period, I have heard a lot about your deeds."

"Don't you ask me why I insist on doing this?"

Xiao Zhongjian expressed his feelings during this period, "If it was the first time we met, I would ask, but after this experience, I don't need to ask."

Yin Zhuwu laughed helplessly: "Hahahaha..., what a regrettable tacit understanding. The only person in the world who can talk to each other, let's grasp this last peaceful moment together."

The two men understood what kind of life-and-death battle was about to unfold, and spoke frankly of what they had learned during this period.

"I always thought I had mastered the Heavenly Sword Style. It was not until I killed Leng Shuangcheng that I realized I had been learning to sacrifice myself for the sake of the Tao."

"I also thought that by returning to my hometown, I could go back to the beginning and correct the mistakes I made. But in the end, I realized that this mistake might have existed from the beginning because of my identity as Yin-Xun Zhu-Wu."

Xiao Zhongjian said: "Facing fate, neither you nor I can turn back."

"Then let's end it here." After saying that, Yinxuan Zhuwu shattered the cloth that wrapped the sword, revealing the further improved Zhan Fengyue after the sword flaw was repaired.

The unsheathed Zhan Fengyue glowed coldly under the moonlight.

The sword bag behind the Xiaozhong Sword was broken, and he picked up the Nirvana Sword, looking energetic. It was the first battle of the Heavenly Artifact since it appeared in the world.

"One person leaves, or two people fall."

"The heartless ones hurt others' lives, and the ones who hurt others will not be spared!"
