Chapter 51: Not Seeking Immortals, But God-Slaying!
Wan Jianyi's lips curved into a smile upon hearing the terms of the bet proposed by Su Han.
"Kid, do you really want to make a bet with this old man?"
"It's just, if you lose, what will you do?"
Su Han flew on his sword and landed beside Wan Jianyi, looking at Wan Jianyi opposite him, and smiled, "If I lose, I will naturally kowtow three times without a word and take Senior as Shifu (Master)."
"Really?"
The smile on Wan Jianyi's face grew stronger, and he asked again as if afraid Su Han would go back on his word.
He hadn't expected someone would dare to compete with him in swordsmanship; for a moment, he felt it was a little unreal.
After all, even the current Sect Head Dao Xuan Zhenren of the Qingyun Sect is so powerful.
But when it comes to swordsmanship alone, Wan Jianyi is absolutely confident that he will be superior to him.
"A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
Su Han still didn't hesitate at all and nodded directly.
He was also absolutely confident in himself, "I will definitely win!"
After all, although the Slashing Demons and Gods True Art is strong, my A Thought Ascends to Heavenly Gate is definitely not weak either.
Moreover, given Wan Jianyi's proud nature, he would definitely concede as long as they drew.
Even if Wan Jianyi tried to cheat, "I said 'a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold', but I'm not a gentleman, I am a Daoist priest."
"Daoist priests value doing as they please and having clear thoughts."
"No backing out if you lose!"
However, Wan Jianyi opposite him did not know what Su Han was thinking.
Seeing Su Han was so straightforward, he no longer hesitated, but nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement.
"Kid, no backing out if you lose!"
Wan Jianyi laughed triumphantly; he hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
Earlier, he had thought it might be difficult to snatch Shui Yue's disciple.
After all, he naturally knew what kind of place Xiao Zhu Peak was; how could a young man not like Xiao Zhu Peak?
Even back then, he liked it immensely.
It's just a pity he didn't have such luck and couldn't become a disciple of Xiao Zhu Peak.
"Kid, how can I let you stay so comfortably at Xiao Zhu Peak, a place this old man couldn't even join back then?"
Thinking of this, his eyes, as he looked at Su Han, held a hint of almost imperceptible envy and a mischievous smile.
At this moment, Wan Jianyi slowly walked a few steps forward, reaching the edge of the cliff.
Looking at the distant sky as dark as ink, the mountain winds made his clothes flutter noisily.
He turned his head and looked at Su Han.
"Kid, you are still young!"
"Today!"
"This old man will let you kid gain some good experience and understand what it means that there are always people better than you, and heavens beyond heavens."
Wan Jianyi was still absolutely confident.
Although he felt that in other aspects, he might not be as good as the young man in front of him, after all, he admitted he couldn't create such powerful sword-controlling techniques.
But when it comes to swordsmanship, he had his own pride.
What's more, what he was about to display was the Slashing Demons and Gods True Art, one of the four great sword arts of the Qingyun Sect.
The Slashing Demons and Gods True Art alone was already the best sword art in the world, let alone when performed by himself.
Even when facing the other three top sword arts of the Qingyun Sect, he would absolutely not lose!
Wan Jianyi took a deep breath, "I can't remember how many years it's been since I last used a sword!"
Saying this, he casually picked up a bamboo branch from the ground.
"Watch closely, kid, this next sword strike!"
Upon hearing this, Su Han couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, "This sword strike will be very cool, right?"
However, soon, Su Han's expression suddenly became serious.
Because he found that Wan Jianyi in front of him seemed to have suddenly become a different person.
He could clearly feel that although Wan Jianyi's appearance in front of him hadn't changed at all, his aura at this moment had completely shed its previous dejected state, becoming like a divine sword unsheathed.
Even when the strong wind blew past, it seemed as if it would be sliced open by his Sword Intent; it was sharp!
"As expected of Wan Jianyi, all three golden attributes on his body are related to swords..."
"Indeed!"
"He himself is the most peerless divine sword in the world!"
And just as Su Han was marveling.
Wan Jianyi suddenly opened his eyes, gently stroking the quietly suspended bamboo branch in front of him from bottom to top with his index and middle fingers, accompanied by flashes of blue light.
At this moment.
The bamboo branch in front of Wan Jianyi seemed no longer an ordinary bamboo, but a peerless famous sword, just unsheathed and indestructible.
The next second.
Wan Jianyi raised his single arm, gripped the bamboo branch tightly in his hand, and raised the 'sword' towards the sky.
He chanted the incantation.
"Heaven and Earth's righteousness, shall eternally exist; Not seeking Immortals, But God-Slaying!"
As Wan Jianyi's incantation fell.
The next second.
Swish--!
The 'peerless famous sword' transformed from the bamboo branch instantly erupted with an extremely brilliant light; sword energy, like a dragon, roared as it rushed towards the high sky.
Wherever it passed, the air was violently torn apart, emitting sharp cracking sounds.
The sword energy went straight into the clouds, fiercely slashing towards the thick cloud layer at the edge of the sky.
Rumble--!
A loud noise came.
The cloud layer was instantly cut open in front of this powerful sword energy, and a huge gap appeared in the sky.
Through the gap, starlight faintly sprinkled down, illuminating Wan Jianyi and Su Han below at the mountaintop.
At this moment, the surrounding birds were frightened by this powerful force and scattered, while the wild beasts in the mountains also lay prostrate on the ground in terror, trembling.
After a long while.
That powerful sword energy gradually dissipated.
However, the gap cut open in the cloud layer in the sky was still clearly visible, as if telling the world about the terrifying power of that sword strike just now.
Wan Jianyi stood there quietly, holding the 'sword' with his single arm, his eyes revealing an invincible confidence.
He looked at Su Han, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, seemingly waiting for the young man's reaction.
And Su Han, looking at this heaven-shattering sword strike, couldn't help but reveal his surprise, "Is this the Slashing Demons and Gods True Art, one of the four great sword arts of the Qingyun Sect?"
For a moment, Su Han couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, "Wan Jianyi is indeed worthy of being the Qingyun Sect's number one Sword Dao Genius in a thousand years."
Su Han had completely not expected that the Slashing Demons and Gods True Art displayed by Wan Jianyi would be so powerful; this sword strike far exceeded his imagination.
After all, Su Han had seen the Divine Sword Lightning Leading True Skill displayed by Cang Song back then.
But if the power of the Divine Sword Lightning Leading True Skill displayed by Cang Song was ten, then it would absolutely not be an exaggeration to say that the Slashing Demons and Gods True Art displayed by Wan Jianyi was a hundred.
The two simply couldn't be compared.
At this moment, Wan Jianyi looked at the somewhat surprised Su Han and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, "How about it, kid?"
"Was this sword strike of this old man cool or not?"
Hearing Wan Jianyi's words, Su Han couldn't help but inwardly mutter a complaint.
"Oh my goodness, it really is like sending off General Zhao Kongcheng in triumph!"
But soon, Su Han recovered and slightly cupped his hands towards Wan Jianyi.
"Senior's sword strike is truly something I have only seen once in my life; it was an eye-opener."
"That's good then, become my disciple."
Wan Jianyi said, holding his single arm behind his back, a look of arrogance on his face.
However, the next second.
Su Han, however, smiled and gently shook his head, "Although I admit Senior's sword strike was indeed very cool."
"But I think my sword strike will be even cooler, Senior, please watch carefully!"
Sword, come!
The next second.
The Heart's Inverse Scale Divine Sword beside Su Han suddenly merged from its original fragments into one.
Buzz--!
At this moment, there was no longer a single crack on the sword body; it hummed softly, gleaming with a deep cold light under the moonlight, and one could tell with just a glance that it was indestructible!
