34: Chapter 34 Juggernaut

A cold and distant chant faintly echoed through the Jiuyou Divine Domain:

"The common people suffer, the world is in flames; among the hundred schools of thought, only we hold the Vertical and Horizontal."

In a mere sixteen characters, it shook Su Ming's mind violently, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Was it the person he was thinking of?!

The newcomer's features were peerlessly handsome, his contours sharp and stern.

Half of his black hair was tied up at the crown, while the rest drifted lightly in the wind, carrying a sense of carefree elegance.

His plain white-trimmed robe was immaculate, and his posture was as upright as an ancient pine or a towering mountain.

His spine was straight, neither humble nor arrogant.

A sword hung quietly at his waist, its scabbard unadorned and heavy, lacking any flashy patterns, yet it restrained countless sharp edges.

His aura was cold and aloof, and his eyes were indifferent yet steady.

Overlooking all things in the mortal world, he naturally exuded an unparalleled aura of looking down upon the mundane dust.

It partially ignores defense and distance with extremely strong penetrating power, appearing bizarre and unresolvable.

The sword qi carries the dual effects of armor-breaking and soul-shattering.

Sword Heart Transparency: The state of mind is clear and flawless, greatly amplifying the power of swordsmanship, enabling the user to pre-judge opponent actions and see through the flaws of all moves.

Dominate the Universe (Hero Skill): Instantly erupts sword intent throughout the body, breaking shackles.

Combat power surges in a short time, remaining undefeated across the land.

Guigugu Vertical and Horizontal (Combo Skill); {Missing unlock conditions}

Exclusive Equipment: yuanhong (Sealed)

Description: Heir to the Vertical Swordsmanship of the Guigu School of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Sword Saint.

Abandoning Qin to live in seclusion, he wields yuanhong to practice chivalry, traversing troubled times with supreme swordsmanship, upholding the righteous path and protecting the common people.

It really was him!

Su Ming's mind surged with a myriad of thoughts.

Ganie was clearly a two-dimensional fictional character from his past life, yet he had actually been summoned out just like that?

Since Ganie could be summoned, did that mean those heaven-defying existences from his past life all had the possibility of manifesting in the present?

If countless heaven-defying fictional characters from his past life could all be transformed into his subordinates and family... the future landscape was simply unimaginable!

Countless crazy thoughts took root and sprouted deep within his heart.

Moreover, summoning an Epic hero only cost ten thousand divine crystals. In Su Ming's view, this was an absolute steal.

His gaze couldn't help but continue into the Six Paths of Samsara, only to find that the Human Path of the Six Paths of Samsara had also become incomparably dim.

Obviously, the Six Paths of Samsara could not be used casually.

Su Ming could sense that using the Six Paths of Samsara again would require ten days, and the cost for the next summon would also increase.

"What a pity,"

Ganie bowed slightly toward Su Ming: "Ganie greets the Divine Lord."

Su Ming suppressed his fluttering heart and nodded at Ganie.

"Ganie, let's go out first."

Hearing Su Ming's words, Ganie nodded and followed Su Ming out of Jiuyou.

Seeing Su Ming come out, the gazes of A Da and the other two couldn't help but look over.

Seeing Ganie standing beside Su Ming, the three of them looked at him with eyes full of appraisal.

A Gui's entire body was tensed, the knuckles holding the unregretful saber tightening slightly.

His heart was shaken beyond measure: "So strong! Too terrifying!"

The opponent was clearly only at First Order Transcendence, and his cultivation was far inferior to his own, yet A Gui felt a bone-chilling threat from Ganie.

It was a sense of absolute suppression, as if even if he unleashed his full strength, the opponent could still decapitate him with a single sword stroke!

This threat was even more terrifying than Sargalian.

Wawan's heart was also heavy.

In her eyes, the swordsman in white before her didn't look like a human at all, but rather like a peerless fierce beast lying dormant and silent, inhaling and exhaling the heaven and earth.

He seemed calm and waveless, but actually concealed the might to swallow the heavens and earth.

"This person is terrifying!"

Sargalian's eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed a trace of a threat from Ganie.

But the next instant, the illusory and terrifying aura around Ganie suddenly retracted completely.

All sharpness was withheld, and sword intent was hidden in his bones.

He instantly became ordinary and unremarkable, just like an ordinary mortal without any deterrence.

Yet this change only made the three of them even more wary.

Exposed sharpness could still be resisted, but concealing sharpness into the formless and withholding keenness invisibly was true unfathomability!

The same thought popped up in the minds of all three at the same time: What kind of terrifying monster had the Divine Lord summoned this time?

Su Ming introduced them one by one to A Da and the other two: "Ganie, these three are A Da, Wawan, and Sargalian."

Ganie shifted his gaze slightly, looked at the three of them, and nodded slightly with a modest demeanor: "Ganie greets the three of you."

The three of them also nodded at Ganie, and even Sargalian lowered his proud head this time.

Su Ming let them communicate for a while before telling them to recover as soon as possible.

The next layer would likely be even more difficult.

Soon, an extremely familiar mechanical voice came over.

The next instant, spiritual light covered the sky, and Su Ming along with all his family members were guided by the spiritual light of the Hanging Pagoda, instantly teleporting to the fourth-layer trial space.

Just as their figures stood firm and the void had yet to stabilize, a bone-chilling, extreme killing sword intent suddenly locked onto their surroundings, and a suffocating sense of oppression rushed toward them!

A hundred meters away, a hazy, blurred figure in black whose facial features could not be seen at all condensed out of thin air, silent and without the slightest ripple.

The moment Su Ming appeared, this figure did not hesitate at all. With a slight shake of his wrist, the long sword in his palm suddenly unsheathed.

Hum—!

A slight tremble resounded through the void, and a brilliant sword qi carrying pure laws of destruction attacked through the air.

Its speed was extreme, tearing apart all airflow and void folds along the way, aiming straight for Su Ming's heart!

This sword strike completely exceeded the limit of pre-judgment!

Even though Su Ming saw the trajectory of the opponent's sword with his own eyes, it was still too late to block or dodge.

Under the extreme sword speed, all reactions were reduced to empty talk.

In a split second of life and death, A Da and Wawan's minds tightened abruptly, and extreme terror surged into the depths of their eyes.

Almost instinctively, they wanted to step forward to block in front of Su Ming and bear the injuries with their own bodies.

At the same time, Sargalian's dragon pupils shrank sharply.

Without thinking, he opened his mouth to spit out a pitch-black world-destroying dragon breath.

Billowing flames swept across the sky, head-on colliding with that fatal sword qi!

Boom!

The law sword qi and the world-destroying dragon breath collided with a crash.

The violent energy exploded instantly, and the churning gale swept across all directions.

In the end, the two extreme forces annihilated each other and vanished into the formless void together.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of skeletons all perished in the clash of these two forces.

Having failed in his sneak attack, the figure in black in the distance was extremely decisive.

Without any lingering attachment to the battle, he immediately retracted his sword and retreated several steps.

He firmly stopped in the void, intentionally keeping a safe distance.

His gaze was gloomy, locked dead onto Su Ming and his group, clearly wary of everyone surrounding and counterattacking, waiting for an opportunity to strike at any moment.

Seeing this, Su Ming's heart shook slightly.

The trial phantom mimicked by the Hanging Pagoda had low intelligence and only knew how to rigidly attack fiercely without knowing how to adapt.

The various divine beings of the first three layers were all like this, and precisely because of this, he was able to easily pass the levels.

But the sword dao phantom before him was completely different.

Knowing how to sneak attack covertly, retreating immediately if a strike failed, weighing pros and cons, and avoiding encirclement, it had meticulous thoughts, seasoned tactics, and an intelligence completely comparable to normal living beings.

Su Ming quickly scanned the entire trial space and found that there was only this single figure in black in the entire place, without any subordinates or monsters assisting him.

"So he is a sword cultivator who walks the path of extreme swordsmanship alone."

Su Ming's eyes were filled with solemn vigilance.

Not all living beings would take the path of divine beings.

Many living beings either failed to condense a divine domain and would instead take various transcendent paths.

And the sword dao was the most murderous and terrifying path among them.

Within the same rank, sword cultivators were nearly invincible in single combat.

Their killing intent was sharp, their spell-breaking peerless, and they rarely had opponents.

Just as Su Ming was concentrating in defense, Ganie by his side had already firmly locked his gaze onto the sword cultivator in black in the distance.

The indifference in his eyes faded, replaced by a blazing desire for competition and battle intent.

"A pure sword dao master."

He murmured softly, the sword intent around his body vaguely resonating and slowly rising.

Then he bowed to request instructions, his tone carrying absolute confidence: "Divine Lord, may I ask to leave this person to your subordinate for a battle?"

Su Ming pondered for a moment, looked at the battle-intent-filled Ganie, and nodded slightly: "Very well, this battle shall be left to you."

Before his words finished, Ganie's figure had already broken through the air, transforming into a sharp afterimage as he went straight to meet the sword cultivator phantom ahead.
