Mu Hanyan only then realized that Jian Wuchen had once held such a high position, having been one of the two most likely Saints to succeed the Saint Lord. However, thinking back to the Wuchen Sword Intent he had displayed when he had just recovered from his injuries, she felt relieved. You have to remember that at that time, his meridians had only just begun to regain vitality, far from being fully healed. That Sword Intent was soaring and majestic. Now that his injuries were gradually healing, his cultivation must have also recovered significantly. If Ao Fangchen dared to look down on him as he did before, he might suffer a great loss.
Mu Hanyan was actually looking forward to the fight between the two. Of course, she was looking forward to it because she knew Jian Wuchen's injury had healed. It would be different for those who didn't know.
"Elder Ao, the Holy Lord has ordered that no one is allowed to set foot on the Holy Sword Peak without his permission. Do you want to go against the Holy Lord?" Seeing the murderous look in Ao Fangchen's eyes, Jin Qisheng became even more anxious and shouted loudly.
"Hmph, Mu Hanyan caused my disciple to be seriously injured and his cultivation to be completely destroyed. Even if the Lord Saint is here today, I will seek justice." Ao Fangchen did not take Jin Qisheng seriously at all and said in a cold voice.
"Fairness, what is justice? According to what you said, you are justice. What if I say that I am justice?" Jian Wuchen said lightly.
"You, a useless man, are qualified to say this? Draw your sword. I want to see how a useless man like you can be qualified to mention the word justice in front of me." Ao Fangchen said as he slowly drew out his sword and slashed at Jian Wuchen.
Although he was full of disdain for Jian Wuchen, with Ao Wuchen's thousands of years of cultivation experience and state of mind, he would not underestimate any opponent. In this sword, he still used 90% of his strength. The reason why he left a little spare strength was to prevent himself from accidentally killing him if he couldn't stop.
With one strike of the sword, the entire world seemed to be split in two by the towering sword.
Under the might of the sword, some young people with lower cultivation base even felt their legs go weak and they fell to the ground with pale faces. Fortunately, Ao Wuchen's mind was fixed on Jian Wuchen at this time, otherwise the might of the sword alone would have caused their internal organs to shake and cause them to vomit blood on the spot.
Ao Fangchen's arrival at Holy Sword Peak had caused quite a stir, and many of the Holy Court's disciples, upon hearing the news, rushed over to watch the excitement. They already harbored hostility towards Mu Hanyan and the others, and naturally hoped to see them suffer. However, they dared not disobey the Holy Lord's prohibition and remained at the foot of Holy Sword Peak.
Although the distance was still over a hundred feet, they could still feel the power of Ao Fangchen's sword. Many of them were so scared that their legs went weak and they almost turned around and ran away.
"Be careful!" Jin Qisheng was also shocked and couldn't help but exclaimed.
With Ao Fangchen's reputation and qualifications, he rarely had the opportunity to take action, so even he saw him take action for the first time, and only then did he realize that the title of Godly Elder was not in vain, and Ao Fangchen's strength was so terrifying.
Zhuang Ping'an and other guardian gods' expressions changed drastically, and their eyes were full of worry when they looked at Jian Wuchen.
"Sword Dao, Wuchen!" Under their worried gazes, Jian Wuchen also slashed out with his sword.
This sword is so light and effortless, so effortless, yet so holy and flawless, as if it is one with the heaven and earth, and is a natural result.
Enveloped by the holy sword light, everyone felt a sense of relief. Ao Wuchen's sword, originally filled with murderous intent, instantly lost all its killing intent, becoming so mediocre that it was actually shattered by Jian Wuchen's seemingly feather-light sword.
The sword's force remained undiminished and it was striking Ao Fangchen's chest.
"Puff!" Ao Fangchen retreated several steps and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"This is my justice." Jian Wuchen pointed his sword at Ao Fangchen and said lightly, as if he was detached from this world and above the nine heavens.
"Sword Wuchen, his injury is really healed, really healed..." Looking at the proud and aloof yet invulnerable Sword Wuchen, Jin Qisheng fell into a daze and muttered to himself.
Jin Qisheng suddenly remembered that just after Mu Hanyan made those arrogant remarks last time, he had also felt this kind of Dustless Sword Intent, but he didn't believe it at that time and thought it was an illusion.
It was not until then that he realized that it was not an illusion. It turned out that Mu Hanyan was not talking nonsense, nor was she arrogant. From then on, she had been treating Jian Wuchen's injuries. Otherwise, Jian Wuchen would never have recovered to such an extent.
The disciples of the Holy Court at the foot of Holy Sword Peak were also stunned. Jian Wuchen's right arm meridians were completely damaged. This was no secret within the Holy Court. Over the past thousand years, countless Holy Court alchemists and doctors had tried to treat him, but all had failed. This was also no secret. Some even believed that Jian Wuchen was a complete invalid, and that keeping him in the Holy Court was a waste of resources.
No one expected that the injury that countless Holy Court alchemists and doctors had racked their brains to cure would suddenly heal. And after recovering from the injury, Jian Wuchen's strength was so terrifying. Ao Fangchen, who was so high in status and was known as the Godly Elder, could not even take a single sword strike from him.
"Your injury is healed!" Ao Fangchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said hatefully.
Thousands of years ago, in the great battle with the Divine Temple, the older generation of the Holy Court suffered heavy casualties. Over the past millennium, as the few remaining senior masters gradually passed away, Ao Fangchen's status grew increasingly higher and more detached, and his opportunities to engage in combat naturally became fewer and fewer. Many of the Holy Court's disciples even believed that he was one of the few great masters besides the Holy Lord. However, they had never expected that the one opportunity he finally had to fight would be met with a single blow from Jian Wuchen. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to his prestige.
Having said this, he glared at Jin Qisheng fiercely. Jian Wuchen's recovery from his injury must have been related to him. If he had reminded himself of this, he would never have been defeated so miserably.
Jin Qisheng felt a tightness in his heart when he was glared at by Ao Fangchen, knowing that he was misunderstood by the old man, but he could only smile bitterly. He actually hoped that Jian Wuchen's recovery was due to his own efforts, but unfortunately, it was all Mu Hanyan's credit and had nothing to do with him.
If it were someone else, Jin Qisheng might have explained it, but he knew that with Ao Fangchen's domineering nature, he would never change his mind about something he had made up his mind about. No matter how he explained, he would never believe it, so he was too lazy to waste his breath.
"Elder Ao, please stop. We have known each other for thousands of years. Why should we ruin the relationship because of the juniors' affairs? What's more, this matter was originally caused by Yu Tang. Let the juniors solve their grievances themselves." Jian Wuchen retracted his sword and said slowly.
He and Ao Fangchen have known each other for a thousand years, and he doesn't want to completely fall out with him because of this matter.
"Let them solve it themselves. Humph, Jian Wuchen, it's easy for you to say. Yu Tang's cultivation was completely destroyed by Mu Hanyan. How can he solve it himself?" Ao Fangchen snorted coldly.
"Then you will never let Mu Hanyan go?" Jian Wuchen said in a deep voice, his hand gripping the hilt of the sword again.
Although he didn't want to break up with Ao Fangchen completely, he would never let him get hurt by Mu Hanyan.
