The Legend of the God of Cangyuantu

Chapter 10 Both jade and stone are destroyed
A normal master in the early stage of the Transmature Rebirth Realm can easily defeat ten masters at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm even if they are besieged by them.

However, it is obvious that Meng Zhao's strength has never been matched among the younger generation of geniuses of the same level in Dongning Prefecture.

Meng Zhao knew that Wan Mang had a high level of cultivation. Even if his sword skills were not as sophisticated as his, he could suppress himself with strength alone. So he never confronted Wan Mang head-on. Instead, he used his body skills and roundabout tactics to constantly dodge Wan Mang's attacks, and when Wan Mang showed a flaw, he would launch a sneak attack with the sword.

"Brother Meng Zhao, you can't win a battle just by dodging."

When Wan Mang saw that his attack failed, he resorted to verbal attacks. However, Meng Zhao knew the gap in their own strength and naturally would not be affected at all.

He ignored Wan Mang and continued to dodge his attacks.

"Hey, Senior Brother Wan Mang's attack is so fast, Senior Brother Meng Zhao seems to have no ability to fight back!"

The female student saw Meng Zhao constantly dodging Wan Mang's attacks, like a rat running away with his head in his hands, and she couldn't help but wipe her sweat for Meng Zhao.

"Senior Brother Meng Zhao is in danger!"

An old student was watching the fight between the two people in the field. At this time, Wan Mang's attack had the upper hand and Meng Zhao was already at a disadvantage. Although he was still able to fight him, a terrifying aura appeared from Wan Mang's body at this time.

"Use the foundation technique!"

Wu Qi, who was leaning against a pillar, crossed his arms and looked at the field with interest.

"Hmph, Junior Brother Meng Zhao, since you have been afraid to fight me head-on, I will go all out!"

"The earth and rocks are cracking!"

Wan Mang's two swords intertwined and suddenly pierced into the ground. A light yellow dust instantly swept across the entire field, and a strong aura instantly rushed towards Meng Zhao.

"Is this the strength of an expert at the early stage of the Rebirth Realm?"

"It's amazing!"

Meng Zhao was a little surprised, but he didn't feel any fear, because fighting with strong people can promote one's own progress.

Even if you fail, it doesn’t matter. Failure is the mother of success. The only thing to be afraid of is not having the courage to start over again.

"Breaking Jade Sword Technique!"

Meng Zhao also swung his sword and performed the Jade-Breaking Sword Technique. The two Wanmang swords pierced into the ground, instantly causing the ground to shake. Dozens of rocks flew out from the ground and attacked Meng Zhao like flying sand and rocks.

Meng Zhao's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he could see through the rock's attack route. He dodged, swung his sword, and condensed sword energy to continuously resist.

"Oops!"

Meng Zhao kept dodging, but Wan Mang's attack was too powerful. After dodging several rocks, the remaining rocks attacked Meng Zhao together. Meng Zhao's face changed, and it was too late to dodge.

"I can only take a gamble!"

Meng Zhao roared in his heart. He knew that there was a huge gap between the Rebirth Realm and the Marrow Cleansing Realm, but he didn't expect it to be so huge. Even if he used the Jade-Breaking Sword Technique to its limit, he could not compete with it. Facing Wan Mang's attack, Meng Zhao did not intend to retreat. He wanted to fight!
"Junior Brother Meng Zhao, you can't withstand this attack, so just admit defeat!"

Wan Mang's voice came from a distance. Hearing this voice, Meng Zhao laughed and said, "Brother Wan Mang, stop talking nonsense. As a swordsman, how can I retreat? I, Meng Zhao, will only face the challenge head-on!"

As he spoke, Meng Zhao gathered all his strength and rushed forward quickly. Seeing how stubborn Meng Zhao was, Wan Mang naturally would not hold back. He controlled the rocks and surrounded Meng Zhao from all angles.

Just when the fight between the two was about to come to an end, several figures appeared near the martial arts arena. The people who came were none other than Ge Jue, the dean of Jinghu Taoist Academy, the fastest swordsman in Dongning Prefecture, and a strong man who mastered the "power of the sword". Beside him were several teachers of Jinghu Taoist Academy, each of them was a master of the Transcendence Realm, and their strength was far above that of their group of students.

"Dean, aren't we going to take action?"

An instructor watched the battle and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, this battle won't end so soon."

Ge Jue waved his hand to stop them, took a sip of wine, exhaled the turbid alcohol, and spoke calmly.

"But, Meng Zhao is the current number one talent of the Meng family. Wan Mang has been harboring resentment towards him for a long time. If something bad happens to him, we in Jinghu..." another instructor said with some concern.

Ge Jue laughed and said, "Haha... I believe in this kid. If anything bad happens, it can only be blamed on this kid's bad luck."

Having said that, Ge Jue's eyes were fixed on the field, and he was not as relaxed as he sounded. He had one hand hidden behind his back, ready to rescue at any time if any accident happened in the field.

Inside the field, Meng Zhao smashed a rock with one sword. Facing the siege of other rocks, he recited the last words left by the Jade-Breaking God in his heart.

"To practice the Jade-Breaking Sword Technique, one must have the determination to face death head-on. Only in this way can one reach higher peaks!"

"Are you born to die?"

"Then give it a try!"

Meng Zhao muttered softly, closed his eyes, and kept thinking. The sword energy in his body kept getting stronger...

"Live towards death... live towards death..."

"I understand!"

Meng Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, and the sword energy on his body instantly burst out. A terrifying sword aura instantly swept the entire place.

"Both the jade and the stone will perish!"

Meng Zhao's figure suddenly disappeared, and a silver light appeared. The long sword in Meng Zhao's hand shattered, and his finger turned into a sword. The sword finger had already arrived in front of Wan Mang, pressing against Wan Mang's throat.

He slowly said: "Brother Wan Mang, you are defeated!"

"ah?!!!"

Wan Mang's pupils shrank slightly, and he was filled with shock.

Wu Qi, who was leisurely on the side, Dean Ge Jue and the teachers who were hiding in the dark were all shocked.

"What...what is this?"

Some students who didn't understand began to ask questions.

Wu Qi, the eldest senior brother, was immediately shocked and could not help but say, "This is a secret technique!"

After hearing Wu Qi's words, many students reacted and started discussing.

When the instructor hiding in the dark looked at Ge Jue, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "The dean is really foresighted. Fortunately, he stopped us. Otherwise, Meng Zhao might not be able to seize this opportunity to comprehend the secret technique."

"That's right, that's right!"

The other teachers also quickly echoed.

Dean Ge Jue didn't say anything, just turned around and walked away.

Wan Mang in the field looked at the sword finger pointing at his throat and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that you have only practiced for less than ten years and you have already comprehended the secret technique. It seems that I will never have the chance to catch up with you in this lifetime."

"I lost."

The two swords in Wan Mang's hands slipped, and he felt very depressed. Meng Zhao retracted his sword fingers, patted Wan Mang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother Wan Mang, there is no need to be like this. The purpose of our cultivation is not to compete for supremacy, but to become a god and contribute to the human race's killing of the demon race."

“Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is not having the courage to start over again.”

ps: There is a typhoon today. I am too tired from work. Let’s go to sleep, brothers.
