Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 29: Sword Dao Shocks the World

The things that hurt Taoist Baishen.

Zhu Jinzhen didn't care and wasn't interested.

Talked about martial arts with Zhang Sanfeng.

Although Zhu Jinzhen has surpassed the realm of earthly immortals, his understanding of swordsmanship, even if it cannot be said to be unparalleled, is still the best in the world. However, he still has some understanding of the Tai Chi Yin and Yang theory expounded by Zhang Sanfeng.

"Carrying the Yin and embracing the Yang, the Qi is in harmony. The way of Yin and Yang lies in balance. Isolated Yang cannot grow, isolated Yin cannot be born. Yin and Yang are mutually rooted and combined to form the primordial state, which can give rise to and multiply all things."

"The way of the sword is the same. Sword Ten: Heaven Burial, although it can transform billions of sword energies with one sword, its solitary yang cannot last long. If it can be repeated, it can be like Sword Eleven: Nirvana, which repeats itself over and over again, without birth or death."

“Not to mention the gods, even if they were immortals from heaven, they would die under my endless sword energy.”

Zhu Jinzhen's eyes flickered, and he understood something.

Ren Piaomiao's swordsmanship is brilliant and gorgeous, extremely powerful, and unparalleled in the world. But Zhu Jinzhen is not Ren Piaomiao after all, and his swordsmanship is different from Ren Piaomiao's.

"I observe Your Highness, your whole body is perfect, without any flaws or omissions, a single entity, and your every move connects heaven and earth with your Qi."

"But have you realized the state of unity between heaven and man?"

From the moment he met Zhu Jinzhen, Zhang Sanfeng kept an eye on him all the time, but no matter how he looked, he could not detect the sharp edge of this young swordsman who was feared by the world.

Zhu Jinzhen was not surprised. After all, the person in front of him was Zhang Sanfeng, a martial arts legend who was close to becoming a god.

"Master Zhang has good eyesight."

Zhu Jinzhen wanted to be modest, but he didn't suppress his nature. He showed a hint of pride and nodded, saying, "This junior is indeed lucky enough to have stepped through the threshold of the Heavenly Man and achieved the realm of the Heavenly Man on Earth."

After he finished speaking, a shocking sword force rose from Zhu Jinzhen's body, as if a sword of heaven that was above the mortal world and ruled over all living things stood between heaven and earth.

On that day, all the long swords within a hundred miles of Jiayuguan, whether they had owners or not, began to tremble constantly. Finally, they flew out of their sheaths on their own and fell to the ground, trembling continuously in one direction.

It was as if the strongest swordsman who dominated the way of swordsmanship had appeared.

Inside and outside Jiayuguan, all sword practitioners felt an overwhelming sword intent, like the vastness and majesty of heaven and earth, pressing down on everyone's heart.

Jiayuguan, inside an inn.

Ximen Chuxue, dressed in white clothes as white as snow and holding a black-sheathed sword in his hand, suddenly changed his expression.

"what happened?"

"Why is my sword not obeying my command?"

Ximen Chuxue is the sword god of the time. The black-sheathed long sword in his hand is ranked fifth on Bai Xiaosheng's weapon list. With his attainments in swordsmanship, the only people who can surpass him in the world are some much older swordsmen of the older generation.

But now, the black-sheathed sword in his hand was out of control and kept shaking. If it were not for his control, it would almost fly out of the sheath automatically. How could he not be shocked?

The next moment, a look of horror appeared on Ximen Chuxue's cold face.

Because of a 'sword intent' that he could not imagine at all, he felt as if his waist was bent and hit him with a loud bang.

"What the hell is this???"

Ximen Chuxue gritted his teeth and tried hard to calm down, but the sword intent that seemed to span the sky and look down on all living things lingered in his heart like a nightmare that could not be shaken off.

If the Sword God Ximen Chuxue refers to a master of the Xuan realm, he can still suppress his own sword.

So, those people holding swords below the level of Zhixuan inside and outside Jiayuguan had no way to do anything but watch this shocking scene.

"Look, they all seem to be heading in the same direction."

"My sword is just an ordinary finely forged longsword, how come it seems to have intelligence?"

"Could it be that some peerless divine weapon has been born?" "It is said that those peerless swordsmen in the martial arts world, such as Senior Xie Xiaofeng, the Sword God of the Divine Sword Villa, Senior Feng Qingyang, the old Sword Saint of Mount Hua, Ye Chengzhu, the Sword Saint of the South Sea, Xue Yiren, the world's number one swordsman, and so on, have all comprehended the sword intent."

"Such a shocking event is happening right here..."

His Royal Highness Prince Su?

Everyone inside and outside Jiayuguan who saw the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Their Origin, like a servant meeting their master, subconsciously turned their gaze towards the direction of Tiance Mansion.

Mongol Yuan Dynasty, Dadu.

Ba Siba, who had not appeared in public for several years, quietly appeared on the top of Wan'an Temple in Dadu, looking far away as if he wanted to see someone who was thousands of miles away.

"The meaning of the sword can be transmitted thousands of miles away?"

"Has the Ming Dynasty figure made further progress in swordsmanship?"

Even Bashiba's calm eyes could hardly conceal his fear, but he quickly shook his head, "No, that's not right. This isn't sword intent. Even that old devil, Dugu Qiubai, doesn't possess such terrifying sword intent."

"This is even better than the sword intent."

“It is the Tao!!!”

When Ba Siba muttered to himself at the end, his body suddenly shook violently. Above skills, methods and intentions, there is only Tao.

kendo!

These two words that swordsmen all over the world often say, at this moment, made Bashiba's heart as turbulent as the sea, unable to calm down.

"If you want to seek the way of heaven, you must first become a heavenly being."

"Could it be that I am already one step behind that young prince?"

Tantric Mingwang, Si Hanfei and others were so frightened by Ba Siba's muttering that their pupils shrank and they turned pale with horror.

Prince Su of the Ming Dynasty has entered the realm of heaven on earth?
Ming Dynasty, a green mountain in the world.

A middle-aged man with messy hair and a heroic temperament was leaning against a tombstone and drinking wine. Suddenly, his hands stopped moving, and his body pointed forward uncontrollably, and twelve illusory swords appeared in the air.

If the old friend were here, he would probably be shocked by this scene.

"Since Xie Xiaofeng, has the Ming Dynasty produced a new peerless swordsman?"

"The sword's will spans a thousand miles, reaching the realm of heaven and man on earth."

"It's really amazing."

The middle-aged man muttered, and suddenly noticed that the twelve swords he had condensed were trembling involuntarily. His expression suddenly changed: "No, this doesn't seem to be sword intent. It has surpassed the so-called sword momentum and sword intent. Even the old devil Dugu Qiubai's All Things Are Swords can't reach this level."

"Could it be... the Tao?"

When this guess came out, he was also shocked.

The man's name was Yi Tianxing, a figure long forgotten in the old days of the martial arts world.

But in his time, he had dealt with almost all the peerless powerful people in various countries today. Even Zhang Sanfeng was his close friend. However, he later lost interest and retired from the world to live an ordinary life.

Yi Tianxing turned and looked at the lonely grave in the valley, recalling his youth in his mind. His thoughts seemed to go back to when he was young and full of vigor, and when he and his wife Bing Xin met and fell in love, and the hilarious scenes, and the last moment when his wife accompanied him throughout his life and lay in his arms when she died in old age.

"Tianxing, don't continue to wrong yourself for an old woman like me."

"Go and pursue your sword path, and climb the peaks you were meant to reach."

"I'll walk you... up to... here."
