Xu Xiao stared at the almost blank messages in his hand and immediately tore them all to shreds in anger.

He had lost six thousand Ironclad Cavalry soldiers and also his most hoped-for adopted son.

How could he not be angry?

"If he can kill six thousand of my Iron Cavalry, I'd like to see if he can wipe out three hundred thousand of my Northern Liang troops with a single sword strike."

Xu Xiao shouted angrily.

"Father, please think it over. It's uncertain whether this boy is a friend or foe to our Northern Liang army. Besides, Chen Zhibao was the one who provoked them this time."

"Chen Zhibao's death can only be described as his own fault. If you ask me, it would be better to bring the second young lady back. Use her beauty to seduce her, just like when the eldest young lady married into the Jiangnan region."

Ye Xizhen said respectfully.

After listening, Xu Xiao gradually calmed down, looked deeply at Ye Xizhen, and finally nodded. Then, he sent a letter directly to Shangyin Academy.

A few days later, the Li Yang royal family fell silent after learning that Chen Zhibao had fought six thousand Iron Cavalry soldiers and Chen Zhibao with a single sword in the rain outside Lingzhou City.

"Chen Zhibao is dead, so what's the deal with this rainy day?"

Emperor Li Yang looked at the many relatives in the palace and asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, to annihilate six thousand Ironclad Cavalry with a single sword in the rain is no ordinary feat."

"Even Wang Xianzhi of Martial Emperor City and Li Chungang, the former Sword God, probably only have this level of ability."

Prince Jing'an, Zhao Heng, sighed.

"This child seems to have appeared out of thin air. No trace of his birth can be found in the entire Liyang. Moreover, according to the intelligence sent back from Beimang, this Yutian is not a person from Beimang either."

"Your Highness Prince Zhao Zhu said respectfully."

"As long as he's not from Northern Mang, that's fine. What's this boy's relationship with Northern Liang?"

Emperor Liyang asked again.

"It seems they don't get along. This time, Chen Zhibao led six thousand Ironclad Cavalry to besiege Yu Tian, ​​which seems to be because Yu Tian and Xu Fengnian have fallen out. According to the information sent from Longhu Mountain, Yu Tian directly cut off Xu Fengnian's opportunity that day."

"Wang Chonglou, the leader of Wudang Mountain, originally intended to pass on his Great Yellow Court technique to Xu Fengnian, but Yu Tian intervened and stopped him."

Zhao Zhu continued.

"In that case, let's wait and see. I also want to know how Beiliang plans to deal with such a formidable opponent."

Emperor Li Yang said calmly.

At this time, the entire imperial court and the martial arts world were in an uproar because of the incident where Yu Tian killed six thousand Iron Cavalry soldiers and Chen Zhibao with a single sword.

But on rainy days, he would hide in Jian Jiuhuang's stable to cultivate his divine sense.

"Sword God Li Chungang has come to ask about swordsmanship."

Yu Tian opened his eyes and used his divine sense to scan the one-armed Li Chungang in the void.

Originally, I planned to go to Tingchao Pavilion to fight Li Chungang after my seclusion ended, and complete the third stage of the mission reward, but I didn't expect Li Chungang to come by himself.

Yu Tian immediately flashed and appeared in front of Li Chungang in an instant.

As the rain began, the entire sky above the Northern Liang Royal Palace was shrouded in the rain and Li Chungang's imposing aura.

Dark clouds churned in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. A dark cloud loomed over the city.

"The name of the Sword God is renowned far and wide."

Rainy Day said with a faint smile, his words humble, but his tone revealed boundless arrogance.

"Sword God, it's just an empty title. A few days ago, your sword slaughtered six thousand Iron Cavalry and the White-Clad Battle Immortal Chen Zhibao. Such a feat is far more impressive than my title of Sword God."

After Li Chungang finished speaking, he gave a thumbs-up to the rainy day.

This clearly acknowledges Yutian's abilities.

"Mutual flattery is meaningless. Let's see who's truly capable."

He smiled faintly in the rain.

"Straightforward, I like fighting with people like you, no beating around the bush, just getting straight to the point."

As soon as Li Chungang finished speaking, a sharp sword aura shot into the sky.

The sword energy, like a long rainbow, pierced the gloomy sky, brightening the entire Northern Liang Royal Palace.

Yu Tian snorted coldly, his right hand forming a sword finger with two fingers, and instantly a long sword formed from sword energy was swung towards Li Chungang.

The two sword energies collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

The powerful shockwave spread outwards, instantly leveling the flowers, trees, and shrubs in the Northern Liang King's Palace, and leaving deep cracks in the hard stone floor.

Li Chungang's figure flashed and he instantly disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared behind the sword immortal, and the sword energy sword formed by his sword fingers pierced out like lightning.

Rain reacted swiftly, turning his body and using his sword energy to block Li Chungang's attack. The two swords instantly clashed, producing a series of crisp clanging sounds.

Their swordplay was fluid and fast, like flowing water and lightning.

Li Chungang's swordplay was fierce and domineering, each strike containing boundless power, as if capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rocks.

Sword techniques in the rain are agile and graceful, like willow catkins in the wind, making them unpredictable.

The two figures flashed continuously in the courtyard, their sword energy crisscrossing and their sword shadows intertwining, dazzling the eyes.

After a long while, Li Chungang retreated backward, and a pair of green snakes slashed towards Yu Tian.

Yu Tian's eyes narrowed, and sword energy emanated from his sword, forming an ancient beast that charged towards the two green snakes in his sleeves.

Another loud bang followed, and the collision of the two forces leveled the surrounding houses and courtyards of the royal palace.

"If our forces were to fight here, it would likely harm innocent people. How about we go with you to the outskirts of Lingzhou City for a battle?"

Li Chungang looked at the rainy sky and asked.

Rainy Day nodded, and in a flash, he arrived outside Lingcheng City. Immediately afterward, Li Chungang arrived, stepping through the air.

Then, he looked at the rainy sky, the sword in his hand flashing with cold light.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised his longsword, the tip pointing straight to the sky, and let out a low shout.

"One sword opens the gate of heaven!"

Before he finished speaking, the longsword suddenly slashed out.

The sword light ripped through the sky like lightning, soaring straight into the clouds, as if the sky had been torn apart by an invisible force. A dazzling sword light cleaved the heavens, splitting the sky in two.

The clouds were split in two by the sword energy, revealing a chasm that stretched to the heavens, as if the gates of heaven had been opened. The sword energy spread out, causing violent fluctuations in space wherever it went, and a deep rumbling sound could be faintly heard in the air.

On a rainy day, the sword in his right hand trembled slightly. He sighed softly, held the sword horizontally in front of his chest, and murmured something.

"Immortal Demon Style, Starfall!"

The sword, imbued with sword energy, traced an elegant arc in Yu Tian's hand. The sword light flowed like water, instantly transforming into countless sword shadows, as if a sky full of stars were falling.

Each sword shadow carried boundless power, as if celestial beings were wielding divine abilities, rushing straight towards Li Chungang.

Wherever the sword shadows passed, the void trembled, as if oppressed by countless stars, and faint low rumblings could be heard in the air.

The two swords clashed in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar.

The sound was like a thunderous roar, shaking the heavens and earth. Sword light and sword shadows clashed, sparking countless sparks and carrying boundless killing intent.

Li Chungang dodged Yu Tian's sword shadow attack with a flash, and once again swung his sword qi, a sword qi like a giant dragon emerging from the sea, rushing straight towards Yu Tian.

Unperturbed by the rain, he spun his sword in his hand, the sword light blooming like lotus petals, completely neutralizing Li Chungang's attacks.

The air outside Lingzhou City seemed to freeze, with only the sword light of the two men constantly intertwining in the air.

Every clash between Li Chungang and Yu Tian would trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, with mountains collapsing, the earth splitting, and blizzards raging, as if the whole world was changing color because of them.

Suddenly, Li Chungang let out a long roar, and his sword stance changed again. His longsword drew a mysterious trajectory in the air, and the sword light was like a falling star, carrying an incomparably sharp killing intent, pointing straight at Yu Tian.

Yu Tian's expression was solemn. His sword aura changed unpredictably in his hand, each strike carrying boundless power. The sword light of the two clashed continuously in the air, bursting out bursts of dazzling light.

The light was as dazzling as a new moon, instantly illuminating the night sky.

Sword energy emanated from the surrounding area, causing the boulders to shatter under this terrifying power, turning into countless stone chips that scattered and flew in all directions, like a rain of stones.

Finally, Yu Tian let out a long howl, and his sword qi pierced through Li Chungang's defenses like a white light.

Li Chungang was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face. The sword energy spun in his hand, and the sword energy was like a storm, meeting the attack in the rain.

The two sword lights met in mid-air, bursting forth with a dazzling light. The light was like a sun, instantly illuminating the area outside Lingzhou City as if it were daytime.

The sword energy raged, and the surrounding rocks crumbled and turned into countless dust particles under this terrifying power.

As the light gradually faded, Li Chungang and Yu Tian stood facing each other. Yu Tian's sword aura was pressed against Li Chungang's throat, while Li Chungang's sword aura had already shattered into pieces on the ground.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the third stage of Martial Peak Ascension and defeating Sword God Li Chungang."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the third-stage reward: the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Undying Heavenly Art."

"The fourth phase of the mission has begun. Head to Wudi City and defeat the second-ranked king, Xianzhi."

"The reward is the supreme body-refining technique, the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique."

As the mechanical system notification ended, Yu Tian felt a surge of emotions coursing through his mind. An extremely complex cultivation technique, rich in profound mysteries, appeared in Yu Tian's mind.

With just one glance, Yu Tian recognized its extraordinary nature. Although it was obscure and difficult to understand, because it was produced by the system, Yu Tian saw it as as simple as one plus one equals two.
