C901 Life and Death
"Hua!"
Dragon Star Loong Xingchen's words immediately caused an uproar in the crowd. One after another, large eyes stared at Jian Ao in shock.
Twenty young men, the son of War King, the leader of the four kings. Now, he had returned to take revenge for his father and mother.
No wonder he didn't show any signs of fear when facing Dragon Star Loong Xingchen and War Star Liu Ziloong.
They already had a grudge against each other. Since there was a grudge between them, why should they be afraid?
If fear could solve the problem, then what was the point of using a sword? A sword could be thrown away like a pile of scrap metal.
"This is going to be interesting!"
This was the only thought in everyone's mind.
War King's name. . . Twenty years ago, his name resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Dragon Region. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that everyone knew about him.
Some of the people present were from the same generation as the four kings. Currently, almost all of the four kings had reached the peak of the Minor Grandmaster realm or even the Grandmaster realm.
All of them were monstrous geniuses. Even in this era of geniuses, they would definitely be ranked in the ranks of the Peerless Heavenly Prodigy.
However, amongst the four kings. . . The one that everyone admired the most wasn't anyone, it was War King, Jian Zhan. War King's sword battle was just like the current War Star Liu Ziloong. Both of them had entered the Dao with their martial arts, and their fists were invincible. Even if they were all four kings. . . The other three kings were slightly weaker than the sword battle, just like how they were now three stars. The sword battle was Dragon Star Loong Xingchen, while the other three kings were equal to the other two stars. Although they were on the same level, one should know that. . . In fact, Dragon Star Loong Xingchen's strength was greater than the other two stars. This was publicly acknowledged by everyone. Otherwise. . . Last year's Martial Dao Competition, Dragon Star Loong Xingchen wasn't ranked first in the Hidden Dragon Rank. It would be ranked as the other two stars.
However, War King was the most monstrous of the four kings, and he was also the one with the most difficult fate. He was in love with one of the four kings, the genius of the Liu family, Liu Xinran. In the eyes of the crowd, it was a natural setup. They were a pair, but who knew that a Dragon King, Dragon Sun and Moon, would appear in the middle of the battle?
The Long family had proposed marriage to the Liu family. They wanted to marry the extraordinary king of the Liu family, Liu Xinran. But at that time, Liu Xinran had already gotten together with War King. Naturally, Liu Xinran wouldn't agree to it. She was even placed under house arrest by the Liu family. The people of the Long family had been reminding her at all times.
When War King heard the news, he, who was full of youthful vigor, was naturally infuriated. Without thinking, he raised his sword and charged towards the Liu family.
Not a single Sword King from the Liu family was his match, not even a single one of them could withstand a single strike from him. Even a Minor Grandmaster. * Hong Long. . . . . . *
However, the Liu family was still the Liu family, one of the three great families in the Heavenly Dragon Region. It was once the founder of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and its foundation was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It was not something that War King could handle alone. In the end, it was an old ancestor of the Liu family who attacked and suppressed Jian Zhan.
Initially, he wanted to take Jian Zhan's life. After all, this kid's talent was too terrifying. In less than ten years, he would most likely stand at the top of the pyramid of Eastern Continent. Since he had offended War King, he could only eliminate the root of the problem and eliminate all future troubles.
However, Liu Xinran's love for Jian Zhan had already penetrated deep into his bones. He had actually used his death to force Jian Zhan to live, but he was still able to escape from the death penalty. In the end, his meridians were still shattered, and his cultivation base had regressed to the Sword General.
How sad was this for a proud son of heaven? It was even worse than killing him.
It was also because of this incident that War King disappeared from the world. However, just a year ago, War King appeared in front of the world once again. He openly challenged the authority of Liu family and wanted to take Liu Xinran away. He wanted to kill his way into Liu family and shock the entire Heavenly Dragon Region. Until now, this piece of news had still been spread on some streets.
Across the hundreds of years of the Heavenly Dragon Region, how dare he openly provoke the three great families of the Heavenly Dragon Region? War King was the only one who dared to do so.
At this moment, War King had unexpectedly become a Minor Grandmaster Stage warrior. No one in the same realm as him in the Liu family was a match for him. Even a few grandmasters had been defeated by him in a row. In the end, it was still an old ancestor at the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm of the Liu family who suppressed War King.
However, it was merely a suppression.
Even if War King was hiding himself, he would still be able to suppress him. After twenty years, War King was still War King. No one could compare with him.
In the end, it was the two peak Martial Grandmaster ancestors and several peak Minor Martial Grandmasters who pushed him into the cliff.
He didn't expect that his son would come to the Heavenly Dragon Region right after the matter with War King ended. It seemed like his son wanted to openly provoke the Liu family, and even the Long family wouldn't let him go.
He was even stronger than War King.
After all, War King only went to the Liu family, not the Long family. Perhaps, he wanted to challenge the Long family, but he didn't have the chance to. He was defeated in the Liu family and fell into the cliff of Ming Emperor.
"As expected of War King's son. His pride is even greater than War King's. He has surpassed his master!"
Everyone sighed with emotion.
They finally understood why Jian Ao's talent was so terrifying. It turned out that he was the son of War King, a tiger father without a dog son. Not to mention. . . War King was also a dragon, and the son of a dragon was also a dragon.
However, some people didn't agree with him, and even mocked him.
"At such a young age and cultivation base, he openly challenged the Liu family and the Long Family. Even his father, War King, wouldn't dare to do so. Besides, his father was also defeated. What ability does he, Jian Ao, have? He is courting his own death. . . "
“. . . ”
All kinds of voices resounded throughout the Hidden Dragon City.
. . .
. . .
. . .
Jian Ao had been prepared for his identity to be exposed ever since he entered the Heavenly Dragon Region. It was slower than he had imagined that he would be able to wait until the Hidden Dragon City.
Jian Ao didn't mind Dragon Star Loong Xingchen and War Star Liu Ziloong's taunts and threats.
He was no longer the newbie Jian Ao. He had boundless capital, and was no weaker than the resources and powers of the two great families.
Especially the Universe Cauldron!
Jian Ao believed that such a treasure, a spiritual weapon, would be the greatest treasure of the two great families. They would not use it easily. They would only use it when their families were wiped out.
Spiritual weapons and imperial weapons were, to a certain extent, a symbol of power, just like the atom of the previous world. Bullets were indeed powerful, but they also consumed a lot of energy, and they could even die together.
This was Jian Ao's strongest asset at the moment!
Of course, if he wanted to talk about what his biggest asset was, he had no choice but to choose himself.
A heaven-defying physique, super strong talent, and even abnormal talent. Extremely high comprehension ability, dual sword intent. . . . These were things that others and even everyone else could not possess.
This was also the reason why. Even though his identity had been exposed, Jian Ao still had a calm and fearless expression on his face.
If you want to fight, then fight!
No fear. . .
Jian Ao was also ready at all times. . .
------
Although everyone was shocked by Jian Ao's true identity, they were also shocked that he dared to openly provoke the two great families. Both of them were the top forces in Heavenly Dragon Region, standing at the top of the pyramid. They were the Long family and Liu family.
However, the Martial Dao Competition still had to continue. The Hidden Dragon Rank's ranking still had to continue. It was impossible for this matter to end just like that.
Compared to the entire Martial Dao Competition and the Hidden Dragon Rank, this was just a small interlude.
However, everyone knew that once Jian Ao left the Hidden Dragon City, he would face the endless pursuit of two top powers, just like how he had treated War King. No, it was even more intense than War King's.
He had already learned from War King's mistakes. This time, the Long family and Liu family would no longer have any feelings for each other. They would eliminate the root of the problem and eliminate all future troubles!
As time passed, more and more battles continued. However, the situation was already very obvious.
The three demons were still the strongest group of people. No one could threaten their position. Apart from them, there was also Jian Ao and Monk Lidi.
These fifteen people represented the top experts of the Heavenly Dragon Region's younger generation.
In the future, they would definitely become the overlord of a region, a giant that would shake the entire Heavenly Dragon Region and even the entire continent.
Of course, everything was built on the extent of their growth.
As for who would be able to become completely normal, no one knew. However, everyone knew in their hearts that the biggest risk of dying was none other than Jian Ao.
He had offended two great families. He was one of the top forces in Heavenly Dragon Region. Even the Heavenly Sword Sect would not be able to protect him well. They might even abandon him, protect himself, and protect their commander.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was strong, but they were also one of the top powers in the Heavenly Dragon Region. However, there was a certain gap between them and one of the two families. Furthermore, the two families had joined forces this time. Even if the Heavenly Sword Sect was twice as strong, it wouldn't be enough.
When Chen Yuan found out about Jian Ao's identity, a bitter smile emerged on his face. There was only bitterness on his face.
Was it a blessing or a curse to accept such a monstrous genius?
"This matter is no longer something that I can decide. It's better to leave it to those big shots in the sect to decide!"
Chen Yuan said faintly in his heart.
He crushed a sword talisman in his hand and spread the news.
Jian Ao went on stage once again.
This time, his opponent was a very powerful warrior. He was ranked 15th in the last batch of Martial Dao Competition's Hidden Dragon Rank, and he had the hope of making it into the top ten this year.
His cultivation base was even higher than the Ten Absolute, and he was one of the few Sword Sect disciples.
He wore a long grey robe, and his entire body was covered by it. No one could see the slightest doubt from the outside, and it gave people a very oppressive feeling. The sword intent exuded from his body seemed to be able to penetrate his opponent's soul, and suppress his soul. In fact, it was as if he had just taken a glance at his opponent. It was as if he had experienced life and death.
"Jian Ao, my strength is not something that Lin Jiandong and the others can compare with. My sword intent, on the other hand, has the attribute of sword intent. It is the sword intent of life and death, and it has reached 50% of the sword intent!"
Jue Jiuming said in a deep voice. "To be honest, I admire your arrogance. You have no fear when facing the two aristocratic families. In this aspect, I am not as good as you!"
"However, our goal is the same. I also have a grudge with the Long Family!"
Nine Lives Absolute Life! His eyes stared at Dragon Star Loong Xingchen. It was a grayish-white color without any emotion. In his eyes, only life and death existed.
"This is a top-notch swordsman!"
Jian Ao could see a strong will and determination from his eyes. That determination was that he no longer cared about life and death. To him, life and death were just like ordinary people eating and drinking.
However, Jian Ao's eyes were filled with doubt. Did he have a grudge against the Long family? What did this mean. . . An alliance? Fighting against the Long family together?
His Long family has offended quite a number of people.
It made sense when he thought about it. The success of a single general was akin to the death of thousands of bones, let alone a major power like the Long Family, who stood at the peak of the Heavenly Dragon Region. There must be many major powers that had their sects destroyed by the Dragon Family. Although the Long Family was powerful, it was impossible for them to slaughter every single one of these major powers. It was no wonder that some of them had slipped through the net once in a while.
When Dragon Star Loong Xingchen heard this, he smiled. He had a smile on his face. He said faintly: "Absolute Nine Lives, your Absolute Nine Lives is really a good life. There is actually a Jue Family member like you, struggling at death's door! "
"Last time, the Martial Dao Competition wanted to kill you, but when you met me, you surrendered immediately. After the Martial Dao Competition, I was looking for you, but you managed to escape. Consider yourself lucky. "
There was a trace of killing intent in Dragon Star Loong Xingchen's eyes. He didn't try to hide it at all. "This time, you won't be able to escape. You will die for sure. "
Nine Life Death! Jue Jiuming calmly replied: "As long as you have the strength, you can take my life"
Dragon Star Loong Xingchen nodded and said, "I will come and take it. You first wash your neck clean!"
"Hey, hey, hey. . . "
Jian Ao could not help but shout at the two of them, "I am also one of the parties involved. Do you think I do not exist?"
"You, you, you are the Dragon Star. Don't think that just because you have the title of Dragon Star, you can look down on anyone. Otherwise, your life will not be long. . . "
Your life will not be long. . .
Everyone was stunned. Another public provocation was about to come, and he was going to show his killing intent to Dragon Star Loong Xingchen.
In the entire Heavenly Dragon Region, those who dared to say such words to Dragon Star Loong Xingchen were all shocked. Jian Ao was definitely the first one to do so.
"Haha! Well said, very well said. " Jue Jiuming laughed loudly and said, "I don't have much time left! I won't be able to live for long! "
"Because of these words, Jian Ao, your friend, I will definitely make friends with you. "
Jue Jiuming laughed out loud.
Jian Ao nodded slightly.
"Two reckless bastards!" Being threatened by Jian Ao in front of so many people, even Dragon Star Loong Xingchen's face couldn't help but darken, "Foxy friends. What kind of friends do you have? Birds of a feather flock together!"
"No matter how strong you are, I, Dragon Star Loong Xingchen, will still be like slaughtering chickens and dogs when I kill you all!"
"If you want to slaughter chickens and dogs, you can come at me!"
Jian Ao shrugged his shoulders and provoked them openly.
Dragon Star Loong Xingchen: "- - -"
If he went up now, wouldn't he be directly cut in half by the rules of Hidden Dragon City?
It wasn't like he was tired of living. . .
"Since you don't dare, then don't compare blindly. My ears hurt when I hear it!"
Dragon Star Loong Xingchen was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud. "Very good, very good. Jian Ao, you are really very good. You are better than your father, War King, in terms of arrogance!"
"You have surpassed your father!"
Jian Ao showed no signs of being shy.
He answered honestly.
Dragon Star Loong Xingchen's face returned to its original calm expression. He smiled and said, "I hope that when you meet me later, don't choose to admit defeat like Jue Jiuming. That won't be fun!"
"You, Jian Ao, and your father, War King's brilliant life will be ruined by you!"
"War King has never admitted defeat in his entire life! Even when facing a colossus like the Liu family and the Long Family, he has never lowered his proud head!"
------
Jian Ao and Jue Jiuming didn't pay any attention to Dragon Star Loong Xingchen anymore, causing Dragon Star Loong Xingchen's facial expression to turn ugly all of a sudden. It was as if the punch that was full of energy had hit a ball of cotton, and there was no reaction at all.
Jue Jiuming was ranked 15th in the Hidden Dragon Rank last year. This position proved his strength. One should know that the three demons had occupied thirteen seats. It could be said that he was the strongest among the younger generation below the three demons.
There was no doubt about it!
Furthermore, the previous batch's Absolute Nine Life Death Sword Intent had yet to reach the Minor Success Stage. Now that three years had passed, the Sword Intent of Life and Death was no longer the same as before. It had already reached fifty percent and nearly sixty percent. This was also the reason why he was able to reach the top ten.
Jue Jiuming looked at Jian Ao and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Jian, we are the opponents standing on this arena. Besides, the warriors of the Hidden Dragon Rank are able to obtain the blessing of the luck in the Hidden Dragon City. Not only in the Heavenly Dragon Region, but also in the other domains and even the Tianzhou.
Hidden Dragon City is one of the few places in the Heavenly Dragon Region that can allow the younger generation of the Heavenly Dragon Region to stand shoulder to shoulder with the young generation of the Tianzhou. I don't want to let it go.
The higher the ranking of the Hidden Dragon Rank, the greater their luck would be. I don't want to give up this opportunity!"
Although Jue Jiuming had long put his life on the line, he was still a human. Humans have emotions and desires.
People would always fight for fame and fortune. Even Jue Jiuming was no exception.
Furthermore, he wanted to fight for more fortune to avenge his family's thousand people.
The Jue family could no longer be cut off from his generation.
Jian Ao nodded and said: "I know. "
"Since you and I are standing on this stage, we have to decide who is stronger. Coincidentally, I also want to see how your Sword Intent of Life and Death is. Compared to my Sword Intent of Slaughter, who is stronger?"
"Haha, Mr. Jian, I will do as you wish. "
Jue Jiuming burst into laughter.
He unsheathed the killing sword in his hand and slashed out. The sword Qi was different from the other sword Qi. His sword Qi had two different colors, while the others had their own colors. It was as if the sword Qi that cultivated the wood element was green or related to the wood element. For example, green; fire element sword qi was red or related to the fire element, like red. . .
But Absolute Nine Lives Sword qi had two colors. Half of it was green, representing life, half of it was vigorous, the other half was grey, representing death, and the other half was lifeless.
The Sword Will of Life and Death. One sword could cut off life, and one sword could kill.
The Sword Will of this attribute had two completely different attributes: life and death. It was a perfect combination of all kinds of Sword Intent. It was the best choice, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was one of the most powerful sword intents. It was even a little stronger than the Slaughter Sword Intent. After all, the Slaughter Sword Intent was a single attribute. It only focused on slaughter, for the sake of killing, for the sake of killing, for the sake of killing, for the sake of killing, for the sake of killing.
"Slaughter Sword Intent!"
Jian Ao swung his sword, and a sword energy that was as red as blood spurted out. This was the Slaughter Sword Intent's Slaughter Sword Intent.
"Rumble!"
The two sword energies of different attributes collided, and instantly, layers of sword energy waves were stirred up, and swept in all directions.
The sword energies that rippled out caused some of the martial artists' skin to faintly hurt, and they could not help but retreat.
On the arena.
"World of Life!"
The Nine Lives Absolute Sword struck out, and a green Barrier suddenly appeared around Jian Ao, enveloping him.
This was not the Domain Power, but a Barrier that was infinitely close to the domain, similar to a formation.
"Bang! Bang!"
As soon as the Barrier entered life, numerous wooden swords pierced towards Jian Ao. There were wooden swords in all directions, and wooden swords made a living. However, there was also a powerful force.
"Break!"
Jian Ao drew the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand and a sword circle appeared. The sword shook and the sword circle rippled out. "Bang bang. . . " Those wooden swords were disintegrated almost at the same time.
"Slash!"
The Bloodthirsty Sword was raised high in the air, and a strong killing intent gathered on the sword. There was a slash! It was a massive force that could split the heavens and earth!
"World of Death!"
Jue Jiuming had never thought that he could defeat Jian Ao with just the Life World alone. If he could, he wouldn't have provoked Dragon Star Loong Xingchen, War Star Liu Ziloong, and the other two monstrous geniuses in front of everyone. It would be a slap to the face of the Long family and Liu family.
Arrogance required capital.
Almost at the same time that Jian Ao disintegrated the wooden sword, Jue Jiuming also unleashed the World of Death.
The Death World was gray and lifeless. It was completely different from the Life World. The life force was majestic and the aura was faint. The World of Death was filled with the aura of death, giving people the feeling that they were standing on the border of death.
"Buzz buzz!"
The Death World had yet to descend, but it also resonated with the Life World. Gray sword Qis burst out from the Life World and swept over. Looking around, apart from sword Qis, there were also sword Qis. At the same time, the wooden sword was also all-pervasive, mixing together and crazily charging over.
"Heavy Sword Art!"
Jian Ao drew the Bloodthirsty Sword, and in an instant, a gravity pressure was transmitted from the sword. This was a sword skill that Jian Ao had comprehended from the Ten Thousand Zhang Trial. It might not be of a high grade, but it was the most practical. It could release gravity pressure on the sword, and it could also be said to be similar to a domain.
"Bang! Bang!"
The heavy sword skill was displayed. Instantly, the sword Qi that was attacking stopped and was affected, causing its speed to become much slower.
"Fire Dragon Explosion!"
With a swing of his sword, nine flaming true dragons formed a circle, crushing down from the inside.
"Sizzle sizzle. . . "
Those sword energies were directly devoured by the flaming true dragons, leaving nothing behind!
"Rumble!"
At this moment, the Death World had finally arrived. Instantly, the Life World and Death World merged together, causing the entire arena to shake.
"Life and Death Realms!"
Jue Jiuming roared furiously. The Qi of Life and the Qi of Death, these two opposing attributes, perfectly merged together.
"Boom. . . "
Suddenly, Jian Ao felt that his body had been enhanced by twenty thousand times. Not only was his body blocked, it was also inconvenient for him to move. Even the circulation of his Qi was not smooth.
Furthermore, from time to time, a will would invade his head, telling him that he was already dead.
"Buzz buzz!"
Apart from that, the Qi of Life and the Qi of Death, two opposing attributes, would enter Jian Ao's body, wantonly destroying his meridians, wanting to completely destroy him.
Once Jian Ao's meridians were broken and he couldn't use his true qi, the outcome of this battle would be decided.
Fortunately, this was the Martial Dao Competition's final match, the Hidden Dragon City. As long as one was a participant, no matter how serious the injury was, it could be healed instantly.
As the common saying went, Revive with full blood!
It was also because of this that Jue Jiuming dared to use his life and death domain so openly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used this Earth Rank martial skill.
