Chapter 340: A Gentleman’s Sword!

As soon as he finished speaking, sword light rose!
Luo Wuyang’s sword tore through the void and slashed at Han Muye’s neck.
This sword move was not sloppy at all. The sword light was direct. It was really a good sword technique!
Han Muye looked impressed.
This was the first swordsman he had seen who had struck with his sword in the Central Continent, although the sword was aimed at himself.
This did not affect his evaluation of the sword.
He was fast, ruthless, and stable. His strength and qi were harmonious, and his sword and body were harmonious. He was a sword cultivator of the Central Continent with extraordinary methods.
Seeing Han Muye’s expression, the corners of Luo Wuyang’s mouth curled up.
He was indeed a scholar who had never seen killing in the cultivation world.
Do you really think this murderous sword is not as sharp as your tongue?
For a sword cultivator to approach and kill a sharp-tongued Confucian scholar, it was as easy as pie!
Lin Shen, who was standing beside Han Muye, took a step forward and slashed horizontally.
“Boom—”
The thousand-foot-long sword light exploded and appeared. Luo Wuyang’s expression changed drastically as he quickly retreated. However, his retreat was not as fast as the sword light. He collided with the sword light and shattered.
With one strike, the Earth Realm expert, Luo Wuyang, was dead.
The sword howl was like a landslide and a tsunami, rolling down and surging, causing clouds to circulate within a radius of five miles. The world was in turmoil.
Lin Shen’s eyes lit up. He held the hilt of his sword, and the sword intent on his body condensed into a long sword that soared into the sky and floated for a thousand feet.
This strike had the aura of a half-step Heaven Realm expert!
The Heaven and Earth powers in the Central Continent were powerful and the spiritual energy was rich. When Lin Shen used his sword move, the Heaven and Earth powers he triggered completely exceeded his imagination.
This strike was really carefree!
Drawing the Heaven and Earth powers like a torrent and moving the mountains and rivers with one strike was a sword cultivator’s method!
After killing an Earth Realm expert with one strike, the remaining dozen or so Hongcheng Sword Sect disciples retreated in panic.
A 50-year-old Daoist wearing a purple golden lotus crown took a step forward and stared at Lin Shen.
“So it’s a great sword cultivator who has already condensed his sword bones.”
A sharp sword intent rose from his body, and the restrictive power unique to Core Formation cultivators surged.
“How can such a sword cultivator be a follower and guard?
“Come to my Hongcheng Sword Sect. The matter of killing is written off. My Foreign Affairs Hall still lacks a deacon.”
The Daoist placed his hands behind his back and looked calm, as if Lin Shen would definitely not refuse him.
The Hongcheng Sword Sect was about to surpass the cultivation world of the three counties and rule over hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Even the Confucianists of the three counties would give the Hongcheng Sword Sect face.
To those Confucian cultivators who advocated hard work and purity, there was no need to care as long as the cultivation world was not in chaos.
Whether the Hongcheng Sword Sect monopolized three counties or divided into 30 to 50 small sects to compete with each other, they turned a blind eye.
As long as there were a lot of offerings.
In any case, this Central Continent was the Central Continent of Confucianism.
Kong Chaode turned to look at Lin Shen.
He had seen the prosperity of the Central Continent from the Western Frontier and knew how powerful the sword cultivation sect that united the three counties was.
If he really joined the Hongcheng Sword Sect, his future achievements would definitely be much stronger than on the Nine Mystic Mountain of the Western Frontier.
How should he choose?
Kong Chaode looked at Han Muye.
Han Muye’s expression did not change.
Was his Young Master so sure that Lin Shen would not betray him?
“Boom—”
Lin Shen’s sword made its choice.
The sword light slashed down.
Draw a million swords and shatter a mountain.
The sword light turned into a surging mountain wall. As the sword slashed down, the rocks shattered and the mountains collapsed.
The combination of the Strength Sword and the Sword Intent triggered the Heaven and Earth powers.
Golden earth-attribute spiritual energy surged and enveloped Lin Shen like golden armor.
At this moment, Lin Shen, who was swinging his sword, was like the favored child of the earth.
“What a good sword cultivator!”
The Daoist from the Hongcheng Sword Sect shouted advancedly. The sword light in his hand collided with the sword in Lin Shen’s hand.
Then he vomited blood and flew out diagonally.
“Quick, form the array. This guy is so powerful!” The old Daoist priest shouted in panic.
The sword cultivator disciples of the Flood City Sword Sect hurriedly guided the sword Qi in their hands and formed a sword formation that surged with sword Qi to block Lin Shen’s sword light.
The sword slashed at the sword array. With every strike, the dozens of Earth Realm sword cultivators blushed.
This was a sign that the power of the Sword Dao was too strong and difficult to resist, causing his blood to surge.
“Block it!”
“Send the signal!”
“Call for help!”
Sword lights rose.
In the distance, there was a roar.
Sword lights tore through the sky like meteors.
“Young Master, why don’t we retreat to Jinchuan City first?” Kong Chaode whispered as he watched the sword light fly over.
The sword light was at least at the half-step Heaven Realm.
Although Lin Shen was strong, he definitely could not stop such an expert.
“Retreat?” Han Muye raised his hand, and in his palm, the jade-white fan gently unfolded, then closed with a whoosh.
“The Confucian Dao of the Central Continent is known for suppressing luck. How can such a situation retreat?”
Hearing Han Muye’s words, Kong Chaode shook his head and said in a low voice, “If a Confucian Dao cultivator doesn’t have the authority of heaven and earth, his Great Spirit cultivation alone isn’t stronger than a sword cultivator. In fact—”
He paused for a moment and said softly, “Confucian Dao methods are mostly about attracting the Heaven and Earth powers for battle. With a wave of the brush, poems become soldiers. They all draw on the Heaven and Earth powers.
“That’s why Confucianism is famous for its hard work.
“A Confucian cultivator without the Heaven and Earth powers is really no match for a Spiritual Dao cultivator of the same level.”
Looking at Han Muye, Kong Chaode said regretfully, “Young Master, if you can become a scholar official, no matter how powerful the Hongcheng Sword Sect is, they won’t dare to attack you.”
This was the disadvantage of the Central Continent’s martial arts.
It wasn’t exactly a drawback.
After reading the imperial family’s books, Han Muye knew that the prosperity of the Central Continent was situated in the Imperial City.
With the Imperial City Academy and the Absolute Sage of the Confucian Dao holding down the fort, the Central Continent would not be chaotic.
The authority of the Central Continent was taken away by the Confucian Dao and distributed everywhere. Only the dynasty could suppress a region.
