Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

He is the undisputed pinnacle of Dongli martial arts!

Jian Jiuhuang is a middle-aged swordsman who started learning swordsmanship lately. Most of the sword techniques he learned were deduced by himself, but he dared to come and challenge.

At this moment, everyone was impressed by Jian Jiuhuang's courage.

What's more, he did this not for his own fame, but purely for the reputation of his mentor, which made him seem more sincere.

Although such a person was defeated by Wang Xianzhi, everyone present was in awe of him.

Suddenly, the room was buzzing with discussion again:

"What? Did I hear correctly? Sword Nine Emperor is actually also a disciple of the Sword-wielding Ancestor Sui Xiegu?"

"This Sui Xiegu and Wei Qingqingqing are somewhat similar. He himself is unknown, but his disciples are all well-known in the martial arts world."

"So the Sword Nine Emperor was searching for famous swords for this very purpose. I was also tricked out of my sword by him back then."

"This Sword Nine Emperor is truly loyal and righteous. He even dared to challenge Wang Xianzhi for Sui Xiegu. It's truly admirable!"

"Wang Xianzhi is known as the God of Martial Arts. Jian Jiuhuang is only halfway through his sword training. It's simply wishful thinking to expect to defeat him."

"Wang Xianzhi of the Martial Emperor City in the East Sea has dominated the world for sixty years. Countless peerless masters have been defeated by him."

……

The second box on the west side of the third floor.

A beautiful woman in a black robe glanced slightly and whispered, "Wang Xianzhi from the East Sea Wudi City, I wonder if he's really as powerful as the rumors say?"

Although she looks young, she has an extremely powerful aura, and her pair of phoenix eyes are bright and reveal unparalleled majesty and heroism.

It was none other than Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect from the Ming Dynasty.

Although she was in the Ming Dynasty, she had long heard of Wang Xianzhi, who was guarding the Wudi City in the East China Sea.

Looking around the world, there are only a handful of people who can defend a city by themselves, and Wang Xianzhi is one of them.

What is even more rare is that he is fearless and invites heroes from all over the world to challenge him, and declares that he can compete with the other nine people on the entire martial arts evaluation list by himself.

This invincible aura made Dongfang Bubai yearn for it.

Her ideal is to be like Wang Xianzhi, sitting in the Black Wood Cliff, looking down on the crowd and being invincible.

The fourth box on the east side of the third floor.

Xie Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said excitedly: "What a Sword Nine Emperor, he actually dared to challenge Wang Xianzhi. With this kind of courage, I can't compare to him."

Chapter 50: Martial Emperor Peak

You must know that Wang Xianzhi of the East China Sea Wudi City is revered as the God of Martial Arts and has been invincible in the world for sixty years.

Even Xie Xiaofeng, who came from the Ming Dynasty, was well aware of Wang Xianzhi's reputation and was in awe of her.

The fact that Jian Jiuhuang dared to challenge Wang Xianzhi was as incredible as asking him to go to Wudang Mountain in person to challenge Zhang Sanfeng.

This almost crazy behavior was done with a clear conscience by Emperor Jian Jiu.

This fearless state of mind, not afraid of life or death, is exactly what Xie Xiaofeng lacks and what he most desires to have.

"Mr. Su, did Queen Jian Jiu come back to challenge Wang Xianzhi?"

In the hall, a chivalrous knight asked loudly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

This is also the question that everyone wants to know most.

Daring to challenge the God of Martial Arts, King Xianzhi, may be courageous, or it may be reckless.

But if he still dares to challenge again after being defeated by Wang Xianzhi, he will definitely be a true hero.

Everyone was thinking: Is Jian Jiuhuang really fearless, or is he just bragging on impulse?

With such doubts in mind, all the people in the martial arts world involuntarily turned their eyes to the Baiyutai, quietly waiting for Su Chen's answer.

On the white jade stage.

Su Chen took a sip of tea and said calmly under the expectant gazes of the crowd:

"Sword Nine Emperor did not challenge Wang Xianzhi again."

"Because he later heard that his senior brother, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu, whom he had never met, was killed by the Northern Liang army."

"So Emperor Jian Jiu did not hesitate and headed straight for the Beiliang Palace with his sword in hand, vowing to avenge his senior brother!"

"However, Xu Xiao was surrounded by many powerful people, and he ultimately failed to achieve his wish."

"Xu Xiao did not take his life, but conveyed the last words of the Sword Emperor of Western Shu to the Sword Emperor Nine."

"After the fall of Western Shu, the Northern Liang army buried the Sword Emperor of Western Shu with royal rites. His desperate performance earned him the heartfelt respect of the Northern Liang soldiers."

"A ruler and his subjects should die at the gates of their country, and a swordsman should perish in the martial arts world!"

"This was the Sword Emperor of Western Shu's own choice. He was not killed by the Northern Liang army, but chose to die on his own initiative."

"Since this is the case, Emperor Jian Jiu no longer clings to hatred and submits to Xu Xiao's command."

"He wants to repay Xu Xiao for the lavish burial of the Sword Emperor of Western Shu."

"The Sword Nine Emperor who once terrorized the nineteen states with a single sword strike has since become an old servant named Lao Huang who loves drinking rice wine and smiling foolishly all day long."

"However, the Sword Nine Emperor's sword edge has not been dulled by this."

"Once, a master of the Heavenly Realm, Chu Kuangnu, came to assassinate Xu Xiao. Sword Nine Emperor only struck out three times, completely subduing him and imprisoning him at the bottom of Tingchao Lake."

"There was also a junior fellow from the Northern Land Spear Immortal Wang Xiu, Xu Yanbing, who came seeking revenge on Xu Xiao. He was blocked by the Sword Nine Emperor three times, but he was ultimately convinced and joined Xu Xiao's guards."

"You may not know that although Xu Yanbing is the junior brother of Spear Immortal Wang Xiu, his talent far surpasses his senior brother."

"At that time, he was still young, but he had already reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Man Realm. However, he was still no match for the Sword Nine Emperor. This shows how powerful the Sword Nine Emperor was."

"Xu Xiao has great trust in Sword Nine Emperor. When Crown Prince Xu Fengnian traveled around the world, he ordered Sword Nine Emperor to accompany him for protection."

"So, this renowned swordsman transformed himself into an elderly horseman from Qingliang Mountain, accompanying the prince on a journey of six thousand miles over three years."

"Back when Xu Xiao conquered the martial arts world, he made countless enemies. How could Xu Fengnian's journey this time be smooth sailing?"

"But the Sword Nine Emperors always held their swords to protect him, and ultimately helped the prince return safely."

"Others only saw Xu Fengnian accompanied by a toothless, drunken, and slovenly old groom, but they had no idea that this man was none other than the once-mighty Sword Nine Emperor!"

"After accompanying Xu Fengnian on a journey of thousands of miles, Emperor Jian Jiu also gained a lot."

"Although he claims to possess nine swords, he actually only possesses eight, and he has never been able to comprehend the last one."

"And during this 36,000-mile journey, he finally gained enlightenment and created the Ninth Sword!"

"Only now can the Sword Nine Emperor truly live up to his name!"

“Although he has just entered the realm of Martial Emperor, the power of that ninth sword is enough to rival that of a peak Martial Emperor, and even comparable to the attack of a Quasi-Sword Immortal!”

"Although he didn't challenge Wang Xianzhi again, that day will eventually come."

"Because he is always a swordsman, and swordsmen are destined to be inseparable from the martial arts world."

“As his senior brother said: ‘A ruler dies at the gates of his country, a swordsman dies in the martial arts world.

"

"As a true swordsman, you should fall on the road of the martial arts world."

"He couldn't let go of the cotinus wood sword stuck in the top of Emperor Wu's city wall."

"I also hope that Master Sui Xiegu knows that it's not shameful to have a foolish disciple like me!"

"So even if it's just for his master, he must go to Wudi City again."

"What I teach is the way of the sword, what I repay is the teacher's kindness."

"This is the Sword Nine Emperor!"

……

silence!

The hall was silent!

Everyone was deeply moved by Jian Jiuhuang's aura.

He is not a genius who is dazzling from birth, nor is he a child of destiny who has smooth sailing and is invincible.

He was just an ordinary craftsman who had been working as a blacksmith for thirty years. Relying on the three sword techniques taught by Sui Xiegu, he stumbled into the world of martial arts.

But it was precisely for these three sword techniques that Jian Jiuhuang was willing to pay with his life!

He knew that Sui Xiegu was fond of swords, so he collected famous swords everywhere.

He knew that Sui Xiegu was not well-known in the martial arts world, so he took the initiative to challenge Wang Xianzhi, just to make him famous.

He knew that Sui Xiegu's direct disciple, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu, had died at the hands of the Northern Liang army, so he did not hesitate to seek revenge on Xu Xiao.

He had obviously gone to Xu Xiao to avenge Sui Xiegu, but after being enlightened by Xu Xiao's words, he immediately decided to swear allegiance until death.

Even though he changed from the mighty Sword Nine Emperor to Old Huang wearing servant's clothes, he didn't care.

Chu Kuangnu wanted to kill Xu Xiao, so he defeated Chu Kuangnu and imprisoned him at the bottom of Tingchao Lake.

When Xu Yanbing, the junior brother of the Northern Spear Master Wang Xiu, intended to harm Xu Xiao, he also stepped forward and finally convinced the other party.

Even when Xu Fengnian traveled far away, Lao Huang was still by his side.

How could such a sincere, loyal, and righteous person not move countless people in the hall?

Especially after hearing the last part -

A man who had only started learning swordsmanship lately could actually cultivate to the Martial Emperor realm and deliver a blow comparable to that of a quasi-sword immortal. Everyone was shocked beyond words.

This is the real Sword Nine Emperor.

Not seeking fame, not pursuing profit, not for myself, but only for the friendship in my heart.

Suddenly, the whole hall was noisy, and the heroes were discussing:

"What a Sword Nine Emperor! He is indeed one of the most admired swordsmen in Dongli in the past twenty years."

"This Sword Nine Emperor is truly a man of deep affection and loyalty. He sacrificed his entire life to repay the kindness of the Three Sword Styles."
