"Then I..."
Before Jiang Yuan could finish speaking, the God of Light left, and he swallowed back the complaints he was about to say.
"Fine, I'll play by myself then!"
Jiang Yuan took out the Gentleman's Sword and casually thrust it into a star. However, just as the sword's light was about to sweep across the star, the star burst into light and transformed into a sword-browed youth.
"No one has challenged me for thousands of years!" the sword-browed youth sighed softly, gazing at the deep and quiet universe, a sense of melancholy spreading through him.
However, Jiang Yuan's expression became unprecedentedly solemn. There was a powerful sword intent hidden in his melancholy. Although this sword intent was only at the Sword Soul realm, judging from the aura that flowed freely in the universe, this Sword Soul would definitely have the intent of a Sword God in the end.
"Who are you, daring to challenge me?" The sword-browed youth pondered for a while before finally turning his gaze to Jiang Yuan. Even after his gaze settled on him, he still exuded a world-weary melancholy.
"My name is Jiang Yuan. I apologize for my rudeness earlier!"
Jiang Yuan sheathed his sword, realizing that every star in the Milky Way was left behind by a former genius, so his actions just now must have been offensive.
"Sword Cloud Lord!" The sword-browed youth returned the greeting and said, "However, it is clearly unwise of you to choose me as your opponent!"
Why?
Sword Cloud Lord smiled confidently and said, "Because I am the strongest genius in the entire White Cloud Battlefield, I have never been defeated among my peers, and my future will be that of an eternal Sword God!"
Jiang Yuan raised his Gentleman's Sword and said calmly, "Coincidentally, so am I!"
"Interesting!" Jian Yunjun casually reached out and grabbed at the universe, saying, "Sword, come!"
"Then let's see who is truly the strongest!"
The two clashed swords, and in an instant, the battlefield centered on them was filled with sharp sword energy.
Jiang Yuan felt immense pressure as soon as he got his hands on it, which was understandable, because he could tell from the tone of the God of Light that all those who could appear in his starry river were gods. Jian Yunjun was also a young shadow left behind by a true god. He was a peerless genius of true gold and silver, capable of suppressing an entire realm on any battlefield.
Against such an opponent, Jiang Yuan, who was not skilled in swordsmanship, was completely defeated. In just a few moves, in a simple contest of swordsmanship, Jiang Yuan was suppressed to the point of only being able to defend hastily.
"Show me your true strength, or you will be utterly defeated!"
Despite having the upper hand, Jian Yunjun did not underestimate his opponent. He could see that his opponent possessed extremely terrifying power, but his opponent was only using swordsmanship to fight.
"In the way of the sword, as long as the sword is broken and the person is not dead, one will not lose!"
Jiang Yuan swung his sword, his gaze becoming focused. He had rarely encountered such a swordsmanship opponent, and he had to learn from him properly.
"Hmph, then I'll break your sword and kill your men!"
Jian Yunjun made a fierce move. Geniuses of this age all have a self-centered mentality, and seeing Jiang Yuan's contempt for him, he had already developed the strongest killing intent.
"Come!"
The attacks continued to rain down; this was a battle of the strong, a clash between the future and the past. Who was the true prodigy? A single battle would reveal all.
In the entire killing field, battles like Jiang Yuan's were commonplace. Everyone was challenging their own limits. Those who lost were lucky enough to be eliminated, but those who were unlucky had their Dao heart destroyed or even died.
But no one backed down. The path to godhood is paved with bones. Those who have reached this point are prepared to die. Dying at the threshold of godhood is worth it.
call out!
A sword aura was unleashed, and Jiang Yuan's Gentleman's Sword, Black Tiger, roared. In the blink of an eye, his sword heart was already perfect.
"As expected of a genius at the true god level, the pressure he exerted was no less than that of the Demon Lord back then!"
Jiang Yuan's entire body was covered in wounds from the sword in Jian Yunjun's hand, but as he said, as long as the sword was not broken and the man was not dead, he had not lost.
Moreover, he also possesses a pure heart for swordsmanship!
"So what if my sword heart is perfected? I'm already at the sword soul level, completely crushing you!" Jian Yunjun said calmly.
"Really? What about the sword bone?"
Jiang Yuan's body trembled, and a towering skeleton condensed within the Gentleman's Sword.
Today, he will complete the leap from sword intent to sword heart and then to sword bone.
"The way of the sword cannot be achieved overnight; it requires years of accumulation!" Jian Yunjun gazed at his sword with rapt attention, his eyes filled with the same intensity as when he looked at his lover—a love that transcended ordinary emotions.
"Some perceptions are meant to be challenged!"
Jiang Yuan stood up in a disheveled state, looking like a sword drawn from its sheath.
"Especially those perceptions broken through with blood and bones, that is the ultimate!"
The Gentleman's Sword was thrown out, but the next second it went straight into Jiang Yuan's body. Only Jiang Yuan, who possessed life attributes, would dare to engage in such self-harm.
"Some madness is just hysteria, and it won't help you win the battle!" Jian Yunjun expressed his disdain for Jiang Yuan's madness.
However, the next second, Jiang Yuan smiled coldly, raised his hand over his shoulder, and then drew the Gentleman's Sword from his spine.
"If you don't have a sword bone, then use mine!"
His body disintegrated in an instant, but Jiang Yuan was reborn in another body and finally pulled out a blood sword.
