” Cult Master Chen is right. Even if Chief Yan is willing to make this move, I won’t accept it. ” ” This is…” Wang Jian looked at Chen Luoyang above him and said, ” I have some concerns in my heart, so I can’t use the profoundness of this sword. ”
“So, are you here to help remove this obstacle?” “You overestimate yourself,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
Wang Jian said, ” It would be a pity if I really couldn’t see Chief Yan’s sword. But it’s because of you, Cult Master Chen, that I have such an ultimate sword. You are the source. If I fight with you, I might be able to understand how Chief Yan felt when he painstakingly created that sword. ”
His tone remained calm.
Wang Jian looked Chen Luoyang in the eye. ” I don’t mind victory, defeat, or death. I only wish to appreciate the most brilliant and graceful principles of the Sword Dao. Even if this path of life is very short, I have no regrets. ” After saying that, he stood up unhurriedly and faced Chen Luoyang.
“Frankly speaking, I’m more worried about something else.
I don’t know what method you used to recover faster than the pavilion master after your battle with the pavilion master, but from the looks of it, Cult Master Chen, I’m afraid you haven’t fully recovered and haven’t returned to your peak condition.
Are you still the Demon Empress that Chief Yan chased after?
Compared to my life and death, I’m more concerned about whether I can feel the pressure from Cult Master Chen that caused that sword to be born.”
“Wrong.” Chen Luoyang’s expression was even calmer than Wang Jian’s.” A dead person naturally can’t challenge the next opponent. But even if I spare your life, you still won’t be able to do as you wish. ”
Wang Jian frowned.
“You helped your opponent find the obstacle in his heart.” Chen Luoyang’s tone was indifferent as he asked indifferently, “”What about you?” Wang Jian was expressionless.
When Chen Luoyang saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
There was a contradiction in the Sword Emperor in front of him.
He was obsessed with Sword Dao and focused on it.
Chen Luoyang believed that the other party was willing and willing to devote his entire life to the sword path.
His sword path was a heartless sword that focused on nothing else.
Wind, wind, sea, rain, I am swaying.
He had no wives or concubines, no children, and almost no friends.
Chen Luoyang wouldn’t have felt anything amiss if this was a lone swordsman who traveled the world alone.
But Wang Jian was not.
He was the patriarch of the Wang Clan in the East Sea.
In the Wang Clan of the Eastern Sea, there were easily over a thousand direct and collateral descendants.
With such a large family, whether it was status, honor, or family safety, to a certain extent, it all depended on the family head, Wang Jian.
According to the information collected by the Demonic Sect, Wang Jian, the family head, was only in charge of major matters and rarely interfered with the daily affairs of the Wang family. However, Lu Province and Donghai were almost independent kingdoms of the Wang family. Everyone knew that the key was him.
If not for this Sword Emperor, the storm of Emperor Xia suppressing the aristocratic families four years ago would not have ended so easily.
To put it in a more hot-blooded way, some people’s swords were for love and
protection.
The more things he carried, the more it became his motivation and made him stronger.
However, Wang Jian’s sword was clearly not one of them.
His sword didn’t walk the path of killing and extermination.
Most of all, he watched the tides and practiced his swordsmanship, experiencing the merciless wind and rain of nature.
Under a typhoon and tsunami, the raging waves would hit the shore. It would not be detoured or reduced because of a special person.
Love and protection had nothing to do with it.
He was carrying the entire family behind him like this, which was contrary to his own sword path.
Through the conversation just now, Chen Luoyang once again confirmed that his sword path hadn’t changed.
For some reason, Wang Jian had never let go of these worries.
Chen Luoyang believed that Wang Jian was very clear about his own problems.
“Your sword is shackled, and you can’t cut it yourself. Do you want me to do it for you?” He looked at the Sword Emperor in front of him indifferently.
Wang Jian squinted his eyes.
The temperature in the hall suddenly dropped.
The air became damp, as if the wind was echoing.
Ever since the Sword Emperor appeared, his emotions fluctuated.
Chen Luoyang tried his best to stabilize his state of mind.
His expression was relaxed and unmoved.
“There’s no need for Cult Master Chen to worry about this.” Wang Jian said softly.
Chen Luoyang casually said, ” Before this, no matter what realm you were at, you would progress every two years. It was never too late. Now, you are stagnating. You know the reason.
Wang Jian remained silent.
Chen Luoyang looked at him quietly.
From a certain point of view, Wang Jian’s speed of improvement was actually very abnormal.
Anyone who practiced martial arts would start fast and then slow down.
The higher the realm, the harder it was to advance.
With Wang Jian’s speed of improvement in the first few realms, his progress in the later stages was abnormally fast.
With the speed of his improvement in the later stages, his progress in the previous stages was abnormally slow.
Perhaps, the “slow” in the beginning had created the “fast” in the future?
Chen Luoyang secretly observed Wang Jian as he rapidly thought about it.
He said slowly, “Those who ignore the essentials and pursue the trifles are the most foolish. Wang Jian, I admire your courage and pious pursuit of martial arts, but the current you is not qualified to be my opponent.”
Wang Jian calmed down and didn’t get angry after hearing Chen Luoyang’s words.
Wang Jian did not overreact to a young man who was less than half his age commenting on him in such a condescending manner.
He said calmly, ” I’m sorry to make a fool of myself in front of Cult Master Chen. I’ve been learning the sword all my life just to appreciate the extreme of the sword path. I’ve never thought that I would become a sword.
I’m still a human after all. Some human emotions are inevitable.
It was thanks to the old master’s kindness that I became who I am today. It’s only natural for me to take over this responsibility.
This isn’t a shackle, I prefer to call it a sword grinding stone.”
“You know what it is.” Chen Luoyang had a playful expression as he sized up Wang Jian.” I’m interested in your Sword Dao now, but it’s still not the current you. You still need to train. I hope you won’t disappoint me in the future. ”
He tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair and shook his head slightly.” Xiuzhe was defeated by me in the past. I often heard that he endured hardships and practiced hard, so I gave him a second chance to challenge me, but in the end…”
A faint look of disappointment flashed across Chen Luoyang’s face.
“Xiuzhe is Xiuzhe, and I am me,” Wang Jian said calmly.
Chen Luoyang could tell that the other party’s battle intent hadn’t disappeared.
As expected, such a person would not be easily swayed by a few words.
However, for the sake of his follow-up methods, it was still necessary to have some foreplay.
Facing Wang Jian, he smiled faintly.
“You have already disappointed me.”
Wang Jian frowned.
Chen Luoyang swept a glance at Wang Jian. You need to understand one thing first. Only the victor between the two of you is qualified to challenge me. ”
He reached out and tapped his fingers on the table beside him.”Your opponent has passed the initial test. What about you?”
Wang Jian’s gaze landed on the table beside Chen Luoyang..
