Xiao Yuhan had long anticipated this day. Ever since he woke up, he had been thinking that Yu Hui would not easily give up and would definitely make another move. So, at this moment, it must be more than just Wen Xiao. He immediately looked at Shen Huairu and said, "Senior Sister, quickly mobilize all the disciples to prepare for battle. This time, we don't need to spread them out too much. Gather them all in the Heavenly Sword Hall. Junior Sister is currently in seclusion to break through. As for Senior Brother Sect Leader, it's best not to let him fight with anyone."
Shen Huairu thought for a moment, "And you?"
Xiao Yuhan looked up at the sky and said, "I'll stay and help Senior Brother Liu."
"You can't do it. Neither of us can interfere in their fight."
Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment, "Senior sister, believe me, although I may not be able to wield a sword as powerful as Senior Brother Liu, I can definitely help."
Shen Huairu didn't say much, just said, "Be careful."
After saying that, she left the place.
At that moment, Liu Jiantang, holding the Hero's Sword, stared at Wen Xiao from above. "Are you waiting for me to draw my sword?"
Wen Xiao drew his sword, but before it was fully drawn, he coldly looked at Liu Jiantang and said, "I'm hesitating whether or not to kill you."
Why don't you think about how you'd die if you lost to me?
Wen Xiao shook his head. "You are the person I have met who is most likely to surpass me. If I gave you another thirty years, I reckon you could please me."
"Hehehe... I thought I was already quite arrogant, but compared to you, I am ashamed of myself."
"I may be arrogant, but I never underestimate my opponents. Come on, Liu Jiantang, today the strongest swordsman in the world will personally lead the way. This is the glory of your life!" Wen Xiao drew his sword, and in an instant, the sun and moon lost their color, the world darkened, and the entire Tianjian Sect territory was transformed into a battlefield, like a hell on earth. The terrifying killing intent alone was enough to make people tremble.
This was the first time Liu Jiantang had ever seen such a terrifying sword. And this was only the first time he had drawn it; the thick, oppressive aura made it difficult for him to move. Although the Hero Sword in his hand shone brighter and bright white light symbolized the powerful spiritual energy on the blade, it seemed to be much weaker than Wen Xiao's.
However, Liu Jiantang was never afraid, and he was not moved at all at this moment. He transformed into a white flash in mid-air and appeared in front of Wen Xiao in an instant. His sword was like a rainbow. Wen Xiao raised his sword and thrust upwards. The power of Liu Jiantang's sword was deflected, and the two sword energies, one red and one white, deviated from their original angles.
Wen Xiao's red sword energy flew into the clouds, scattering the dark clouds. The red light in the sky was like a celestial star exploding. Meanwhile, Liu Jiantang's white sword energy flew behind Wen Xiao. The sharp sword energy cleaved the mountaintop, causing a landslide in an instant.
This kind of fighting style could easily drag the entire Heavenly Sword Sect into trouble if one wasn't careful. Liu Jiantang noticed this and flew away. Wen Xiao didn't mind at all because Yu Hui had specifically instructed that not too many people needed to be killed. So he followed Liu Jiantang, and the two flew to a relatively remote suburb in the north.
Beneath his feet were mountains and the Spirit River that nurtured the people of the Lingsu region. Xiao Yuhan followed closely behind, watching the battle from a distance. He hesitated, wondering whether he should step forward to help. Senior Brother Liu Jiantang had an invincible heart, so even facing such a powerful opponent, he should not deign to have anyone help him. If he intervened and affected his senior brother's sword heart, they would definitely not have a chance of winning this battle. But if he did not intervene, Xiao Yuhan rationally felt that his senior brother would not be a match for Wen Xiao.
Indeed, after the two arrived at the open space and landed on the ground, Liu Jiantang charged forward, his sword flashing out and slicing through a mountain peak. With a downward thrust of his sword, another grove of trees collapsed. Wen Xiao stepped forward to fight him, their swords clashing and their sword energy flying everywhere.
It was clear that Liu Jiantang was fighting with all his might. Although his expression remained unchanged, his breathing became increasingly rapid. Xiao Yuhan, who was watching from the sidelines, could not find peace. If he were to be injured by either of them, he would be crippled if not killed.
At this moment, Wen Xiao seemed to be enjoying his confrontation with Liu Jiantang. He was in complete control, and his eyes showed impulsiveness and pleasure, but also a bit of restraint.
Such composure made Liu Jiantang somewhat displeased, but with his current level of skill, he would not let such things affect his mindset. On the contrary, his sword became more and more stable, and his aura became more and more powerful.
