73: Chapter 73: Every sword cultivator loves to show off; even if struck by lightning, they'll still be arrogant.

The next moment, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Jian Wushuang's body.

"Ninth level of the Xiantai Realm...!!"

Seeing this, Xiao Tianyang, the Xiao Peng Wang of the Golden Peng Clan, shouted with a sharp gaze, "As expected of the number one on the nine provinces heavens pride list."

"Today, I would like to test your skills." Xiao Peng Wang stepped into the void, his physical body emitting a thick golden light that even caused space to tremble.

Wang Jian, watching Xiao Peng Wang about to strike, said in surprise, "I didn't expect Brother Xiao to have also stepped into the second level of the Xiantai Realm."

"The Overlord Body of the Golden Peng Clan is known as the strongest defense. Even if Jian Wushuang is at the ninth level of Xiantai, he may not necessarily be able to defeat Brother Xiao."

Although Wang Jian said this on the surface, he was inwardly shocked. Strictly speaking, Jian Wushuang was a rising star, yet his realm had already far exceeded theirs.

Watching from the side, Leng Qingfeng also began to calculate her own small schemes.

Jian Wushuang looked at Xiao Peng Wang as he stepped through the void and said indifferently, "Is it just you? Why don't you all come at once? Fighting you alone is truly boring."

However, to Xiao Peng Wang's ears, these words felt like Jian Wushuang was insulting him.

He immediately roared in anger, "Jian Wushuang, you really think highly of yourself! My Golden Peng Clan is born with the Overlord Body, and I am a mutated Overlord Body—a king among Overlord Bodies!"

"Now that I have entered the Xiantai Realm, my Overlord Body is the strongest defense of our generation. Unless you are a Saint, it is impossible to break it!"

*Swoosh!*

Just as Xiao Peng Wang was smugly waiting to see Jian Wushuang's expression...

A dazzling white sword light tore through the space from the sky, heading straight for him.

"Jian Wushuang, you're using a sneak attack!!!"

Without time to think, Xiao Peng Wang immediately activated his Overlord Body.

In an instant, golden light radiated from Xiao Peng Wang's body, and a layer of golden film adhered to his skin.

*Clang!*

After a loud bang, the dazzling white sword light vanished, yet Xiao Peng Wang's body stood tall in the air, the golden light on him not weakening in the slightest.

At this moment, he looked at Jian Wushuang with a provocative expression. "How could a single sword strike break the Overlord Body of my Golden Peng Clan?"

Jian Wushuang said nonchalantly, "It is indeed as hard as a tortoise shell."

The next moment, Jian Wushuang's gaze turned sharp.

"If one sword won't do, then two. If two still won't do, how about ten thousand swords!!!"

As his voice fell, Indestructible Sword Intent erupted from Jian Wushuang's body, shooting straight into the vault of heaven.

A drop of fine wine fell from Jian Wushuang's wine gourd, floating toward the sky.

This drop of fine wine transformed into a celestial river permeated with the fragrance of wine, and the Indestructible Sword Intent transformed into a peerless immortal sword that surged into it.

*Boom!*

Within this celestial river, countless waters condensed into white immortal swords, each one imbued with Indestructible Sword Intent.

Seeing this, Xiao Peng Wang realized things were going south and immediately shouted, "Golden Peng Dharma Body!"

In an instant, Xiao Peng Wang's body transformed into a hundred-zhang Golden Peng, golden light flowing across its form.

Standing atop the celestial river, Jian Wushuang spoke calmly, "This move is called: Indestructible Sword River."

As he spoke, countless white immortal swords radiating Indestructible Sword Intent shot toward Xiao Peng Wang.

*Swish swish swish!* Countless peerless immortal swords struck Xiao Peng Wang's Dharma Body.

Xiao Peng Wang felt the Indestructible Sword Intent on these peerless immortal swords corroding his Golden Peng Dharma Body.

If this continued, his Golden Peng Dharma Body would shatter before long, and he would inevitably suffer heavy injuries.

Thinking of this, Xiao Peng Wang roared, "Golden Peng Secret Method: Golden Peng Six Transformations!"

Instantly, the aura on Xiao Peng Wang's body began to rise slowly.

In just a few breaths, Xiao Peng Wang rose from the second level of Xiantai to the eighth level of Xiantai.

He was now only one minor realm away from Jian Wushuang's ninth level of Xiantai.

Wang Jian's eyes showed his astonishment. "This Jian Wushuang is actually so terrifying that even Brother Xiao's mutated Overlord Body couldn't withstand him."

"He forced out one of Brother Xiao's trump cards, the Golden Peng Six Transformations. This is a supreme secret technique of the Golden Peng Clan."

"Rumor has it that if one cultivates the Golden Peng Six Transformations to its limit, they can fight enemies across six minor realms. I didn't expect Brother Xiao to have already cultivated it to the limit..."

Leng Qingfeng, belonging to the Monster Race like Xiao Peng Wang, naturally knew the power of the Golden Peng Six Transformations.

Not only her, but Long Qingtian of the Azure Dragon Clan and Luo Yao of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan were also intently observing the battle between the two, marveling at Jian Wushuang's strength.

On the other side, after reaching the eighth level of Xiantai, Xiao Peng Wang's Overlord Body became even more powerful, and his eyes glinted with ferocity.

"Jian Wushuang, watch me tear your sword river to shreds!"

*Rumble!*

Countless peerless immortal swords pierced through space, striking Xiao Peng Wang's body.

However, having risen to the eighth level of Xiantai, Xiao Peng Wang now operated his Overlord Body at full power, tanking the countless peerless immortal swords as he charged toward Jian Wushuang.

"Jian Wushuang, you're not all that. If I were in the same realm as you, my Overlord Body would be invincible!"

However, Jian Wushuang said softly, "Is that so? No matter how hard it is, it's still just a tortoise shell."

"If I wasn't waiting for Brother Chu and felt a bit bored, did you really think your so-called Overlord Body could withstand my Indestructible Sword River?"

Suddenly, the countless peerless immortal swords stopped their attack. The celestial river formed from fine wine...

...actually transformed into a peerless immortal sword that blotted out the sun.

Standing atop the peerless immortal sword, Jian Wushuang looked at Xiao Peng Wang indifferently.

"I wonder if you can take this single strike of mine."

Xiao Peng Wang's pupils suddenly constricted; he could not block this strike.

"Fall!"

Accompanied by Jian Wushuang's voice, the sun-blotting immortal sword instantly emitted an endless pressure and a sharp aura.

It felt as if the entire sky was about to be cut down by it!

Every strand of sword qi radiating from the blade contained unparalleled power.

Looking at the majestic Jian Wushuang, Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh, "It really fits that saying: every sword cultivator loves to show off, and they're arrogant even if they get struck by lightning."

Facing such a terrifying peerless immortal sword, Xiao Peng Wang felt unprecedented pressure.

"I can't block this strike. I can't die here yet. I haven't yet attained the Dao of the Great Emperor... No... I absolutely cannot die here."

With extreme speed, Xiao Peng Wang took out an ancient jade and instantly crushed it.

In an instant, space shattered and a giant golden hand reached out, colliding with the sun-blotting peerless immortal sword.

Saint power radiated from the giant golden hand, blocking the peerless immortal sword.

A moment later, the peerless immortal sword shattered, and the giant golden hand also dissipated.

Across the endless space, a furious voice echoed through the sky.

"How bold! To actually dare to strike at the Young Master of my Golden Peng Clan. This old man shall see who you are today!"

As the voice fell, a figure appeared beside Xiao Peng Wang; it was an elderly man.

"A Saint's incarnation? However, this Qingxuan Holy Land does not allow the Saint Realm to appear. You are at most a half-step Saint. Do you think you can stop me?"

"Hmph! This old man indeed cannot stop you, but if you kill the Young Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this place."

Jian Wushuang picked his ear and blew a light breath. "Old bird, if you want to compare backgrounds with me, why don't you go find the Sword God Clan behind me?"
