Chapter 18: Inheritance, A Love That Could Topple a City



After Guan Yu realized the meaning of the love that could topple cities, the illusion changed again, and the scene transformed into a battlefield.

At this time, Guan Yu was leading several thousand soldiers to attack the city.

Looking at Guan Yu standing before a thousand troops, one feels as if the illusion before them has been rendered fiery red. Upon closer inspection, however, it is actually Guan Yu's body engulfed in raging flames.

Guan Yu, his entire body burning red, raised his incomparably imposing "Green Dragon Crescent Blade".

Seeing Guan Yu's stance, Zhang Bairen held his breath, anticipating the emergence of this earth-shattering move!

However, Zhang Bairen did not see a single glint of light from the blade, nor did he see the slightest movement in Guan Yu's hands as he held the blade.

At this moment, the only thing that could be seen was the intent revealed in Guan Yu's eyes, which were like bottomless abysses!

An invincible move!

Zhang Bairen focused all his attention on Guan Yu.

Suddenly, a beam of intense light burst forth, and then, the entire giant city vanished completely before Guan Yu's eyes!

The long illusion slowly dissipated, and Lady Wushuang's martial spirit also vanished with the disappearance of the illusion.

Zhang Bairen witnessed and knew everything, and gained a more intuitive understanding of the power of the Love That Shakes the City.

A single strike could destroy a city and shatter the void.

This power is already extremely strong.

Extreme speed, coupled with a void that devours everything—that's the power of Love That Shakes the City.

Zhang Bairen looked at Lady Wushuang's corpse with great curiosity.

I wonder if her unique skill, "Divine Shift in the Void," has been passed down.

The illusion just now was so convincing that even Zhang Bairen couldn't see any major flaws, which clearly indicates that it is an extremely profound spiritual martial art.

Zhang Bairen observed his surroundings, but to his dismay, apart from the lingering primordial spirit power in the air, he found no trace of the secret manual for teleporting into the void.

"Forget it, let's keep going. A love that could topple cities is far more important than teleporting into the void."

After the illusion dissipated, Zhang Bairen turned his gaze to a corner of the ice cellar, where there was a very hidden entrance, clearly a passage dug out by man.

Zhang Bairen continued forward and entered the passage, only to find that it was not only dark but also continued to extend downwards!

At this moment, Zhang Bairen was already more than seventy feet underground, and the place where the Love of the Fallen City was passed down was even deeper underground!

Continuing to fall, they descended another twenty feet or so. Zhang Bairen caught a glimpse of a yellow light ahead—the light of an oil lamp!

Not only was there light, but two strikingly large characters also appeared before Zhang Bairen's eyes.

And these two words are wind and cloud!

These two large characters were carved on a huge iron gate that was over five zhang high and over three zhang wide, and there was a clear palm print dented into the iron gate.

This iron gate is not only enormous in appearance, but also two zhang thick. The material used to forge this iron gate is an extremely hard and unique iron, which is impervious to water and fire.

In terms of weight, the entire iron gate weighs hundreds of thousands of kilograms!

Even for Zhang Bairen, it would be difficult to break down the door using violent means!

However, Zhang Bairen, who knew the plot, had already made thorough preparations.

If someone with the same aptitude as Guan Yu were to place their palm on the marks on the iron gate and then concentrate their energy on the gate, their strength, equal to Guan Yu's, would be enough to draw out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade hidden within the iron gate's inner layers.

At this moment, even if the metal of this iron gate is impervious to water and fire and is extremely hard, it would still be difficult to withstand the blade of the peerless divine weapon, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade!

After the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade breaks through the door, it will automatically trigger a sophisticated mechanism inside the door, causing the iron door to rise automatically.

Zhang Bairen intercepted Nie Feng's energy precisely for this moment, in order to pass the current qualification test!

"Concentrate your mind and gather your energy, unite your mind and energy, and guide the sword with your mind!" Zhang Bairen's palm was imprinted on the marks on the iron gate.

Then, concentrate your mind and gather your energy, and then unleash it together with your heart!

He continued to concentrate and exhale for about half a cup of tea's time, but the iron gate remained completely still.

However, Zhang Bairen remained calm and showed no signs of tension.

Because Zhang Bairen had already sensed that the Green Dragon Crescent Blade inside the door had begun to tremble and hum softly.

It looked as if the door would burst through at any moment!

Zhang Bairen withdrew his hand and took two steps back.

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing "scream" was heard, and in the blink of an eye, a dark figure burst out of the door!

Zhang Bairen reached out and grasped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade that burst through the door.

This knife is amazing!

It is of unknown material, yet it is not only indestructible but also as light as a feather.

It is precisely the combination of these two characteristics that allows Guan Yu to unleash a slash that truly surpasses the speed of light.

"Zha...za..."

The massive iron gate began to rise slowly, but it was so heavy that it could only rise inch by inch, as if raising the gate was extremely difficult.

Behind this iron gate lies the invincible power of the Love That Shakes the City. As soon as the gate is opened, even the slightest trace of its power will find an outlet.

At that time, even the most skilled experts will be severely injured by the sword energy from inside the gate.

Zhang Bairen already knew about the situation inside, so he was prepared.

As a burst of intense light shot out from inside the door, Zhang Bairen used his elemental transformation to evade the lingering energy of the "Love of the City" technique.

The light was extremely dazzling, but there was no energy fluctuation whatsoever.

This is the spell of a love that could topple cities! A spell that is invincible for all time!

"boom!

!

A violent explosion rang out, and the cave was shaken, causing rocks and ice fragments to fall.

However, Zhang Bairen was not harmed in any way.

Just as Zhang Bairen entered the deepest part of Wushuang City, Tianjian Wuming, far away in Leyang Town, suddenly turned his gaze toward the direction of Wushuang City.

"What's going on? The sword energy within my body is suddenly surging wildly, as if it's being provoked from afar by some unknown force..."

"Could it be the Sword Saint? No! He clearly hasn't yet grasped the essence of that sword strike that brought the world to a standstill, and... this power doesn't seem like the aura of a swordsman..."

"But what exactly is this invincible attack intent?!" Nameless suppressed the chaotic sword energy beside him and muttered to himself with a puzzled expression.

Beneath the city of Wushuang, the dazzling light that had burst forth from within the iron gate had dimmed, and the unprecedentedly powerful attack had begun to recede.

Inside the iron gate, the dazzling light from before was long gone.

On the contrary, it was a rather dark environment.

But in front of Zhang Bairen, the influence of light was no longer too great; with just one glance, he could see clearly what was behind the door.

The world inside the door is still a huge cave, but the cave walls are not made of rocks, but of strange iron!

The same strange iron as that iron gate from before!

The entire cave, from the ceiling to the walls, was cast from the same strange iron, making it as sturdy as an iron barrel!

This is understandable; if the mechanism of that huge iron gate cannot be activated, one cannot enter the cave.

This is a bottomless iron barrel because there is no ground in this hole. Where there should be a ground, there is only a bottomless abyss!

This impenetrable hole is already quite peculiar, but there are some other things inside that are even more peculiar!

Looking up, one could see an iron pillar, over five zhang thick, extending down from the cast iron cave surface. It was immediately clear that this iron pillar was the same one that stood in front of the gate of Wushuang City. It was unexpected that the iron pillar could extend down from the ground and reach this place.

If you calculate carefully, the length of this iron pillar must be at least a hundred feet.

At the end of this giant pillar, a colossal object hangs above the abyss—a magnificent triangular iron tower!

This iron tower is nine zhang tall, and its base is at least ten zhang square, making it quite magnificent.

Inside the iron tower, a faint light could still be seen; the magnificent light that had just been seen was clearly emanating from within the tower.

The tower is still cast from the same rare iron, so it is equally indestructible and opaque.

However, the magnificent light could shine through the strange iron, which meant that there must be an unparalleled power stored inside this iron tower!

Zhang Bairen looked at the iron tower but did not speak.

A moment later, Lady Wushuang, whom we had seen before, reappeared.

Unexpectedly, a part of her consciousness remained inside the iron tower.

Or rather, the invincible power of the "Love of a Fallen City" technique itself is her final will.

Zhang Bairen fell silent. This woman's ingenious ideas and extraordinary talent were simply breathtaking!

Even Zhang Bairen once believed that this extraordinary woman was completely dead.

But who would have thought that she would survive once again by using the invincible power of the Love of the City technique!

Is this the magic of a love story that could topple cities? Or is it the unparalleled skill of Lady Wushuang?

Under Zhang Bairen's gaze, the phantom of Lady Wushuang floated above the giant tower.

This peerless lady is practically a lich; in a martial arts world, she has devised so many ways to survive.

Was she really only doing this to preserve the legacy of that unforgettable love story?

The reappearance of Lady Wushuang aroused Zhang Bairen's suspicion.

As for worries, I have none at all.

After all, with the chat group behind it and the passive purification function, even if you completely open your mind, it is impossible for anyone to possess you or seriously damage you.

"Young man, please do not panic. This is merely a manifestation of my will!"

"My final purpose in living is to show you how to obtain the invincible move within the tower!"

Lady Wushuang, who survived because of the love affair that captivated the city, offered an explanation at this time.

"I saw the handprint on the iron tower. If there are no surprises, it's still the same process: you put your handprint down and wait for the mechanism to activate, right?" Zhang Bairen asked.

Lady Wushuang paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, "That's right, that's exactly it."

The walls of this iron tower are all over ten feet thick, except for the palm print, which is the weakest point of the entire tower, but it is still three feet thick.

The Alluring Love originated from Guan Lang and is closely related to the "Qi" within him. As long as someone with the same aptitude as Guan Lang places their hand on this palm print, the Alluring Love's intent within the tower will instantly burst forth from the tower, as if it had seen its master.

At that time, under the invincible power of the Alluring Love technique, that person will fully understand how to unleash its full potential!

"In that case, may I open the tower?" Zhang Bairen continued to ask.

"Of course you can, but I must leave you with a word of advice."

The move "Love That Shatters the City" doesn't belong to the Three Kingdoms era, nor to people a thousand years later. It may belong to a very distant future. It was only by accident that Guan Yu comprehended it while practicing martial arts. Therefore, even Guan Yu couldn't know the limits of the power of "Love That Shatters the City".

Therefore, even those who are capable of matching a love that could topple cities should not recklessly break the tower and bring this extraordinary and terrifying move back to the human world if they cannot figure out how to make good use of it.

Furthermore, this peerless technique consumes an enormous amount of true energy. If Guan Yu hadn't possessed unfathomable cultivation, he would likely have died from exhaustion after using "Love That Captivates the City" even once. Therefore, I hope that those who possess "Love That Captivates the City" will not use it recklessly before they have the true energy to withstand it. Otherwise, even if they manage to unleash this technique, they will only perish along with it when the technique is exhausted!

"To perish with Zhao!" This is no longer just a word of advice, but a grave warning!

At this point, Lady Wushuang's phantom began to dissipate once again.

In fact, having come this far, she has done far too much for the continuation of the Love Story of the City. Even her remaining will should rest.

However, before she completely disappeared, she did not forget to add one last sentence, a word of advice: "Also, although the Love That Shatters the City is an unparalleled move, it is still just a sword move."

Sword techniques, of course, require the use of a sword, and the sword required for "Love in a Fallen City" is a unique sword.

Therefore, never forget—the Green Dragon Crescent Blade!

"

After those last words were spoken, Lady Wushuang's figure finally disappeared completely.

In order to wait for a successor, its remaining will remained dormant within the iron tower. Now, after a brief awakening, its fate is the same as the previous martial arts spirit—it can no longer remain in the world.

Lady Wushuang may have truly vanished from the world.

This woman, skilled in both literature and martial arts, possessing unparalleled wisdom, and who amazed an era, ultimately faded away quietly with time.

"Please rest assured, Madam Wushuang."

"This 'love that could topple a city' empire will surely be used to deal with the greatest calamity of all time!"

After Zhang Bairen finished speaking, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and arrived atop the giant tower.

In fact, without the invincible power of the Love of the City technique, the strange iron used to forge the giant tower would not have been able to stop the elemental transformation of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

However, this seemingly invincible technique is truly absurd; it can capture elementalized bodies and block elemental invasions.

Seeing the palm print so close at hand, Zhang Bairen stretched out his palm.

The eternally invincible love story is finally about to break through its barriers and be reborn today!

"Bang!"

After a series of metallic clanging sounds, the entire giant tower was forced to reveal countless cracks by the power of the attack within. Even before the attack was launched, the boundless power within it had already leaked out.

Instead of confronting the enemy head-on, Zhang Bairen floated back to the iron gate.

The giant tower suddenly cracked, and the passageway shook and crumbled as if an earthquake had struck.

However, the tremors in the external passage did not end there. Suddenly, a deafening roar, tearing through the sky and shaking the earth, came from inside the giant tower.

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, followed by an even more powerful shockwave.

It was as if the heavens and earth, the five elements and all things, were extremely shocked by this unparalleled and extraordinary move!

Through the vast expanse of time, under the endless sun and moon, all we fear is the rebirth of the "truly invincible"!

And the invincible has been reborn!

Because that giant tower, after struggling for a long time, finally exploded with a "boom"!

It crumbled inch by inch, turning into fragments.

Inside the iron gate, the exploded giant tower had vanished without a trace, and its fragments had fallen into the abyss below; however, the massive iron pillar, over three feet thick, remained intact.

Beneath this iron pillar, however, floated a hazy mass of air, about ten feet in diameter, like clouds or mist.

And that iron pillar was completely empty inside, like a passageway extending upwards!

Seeing that the mechanism was beginning to self-destruct, Zhang Bairen acted swiftly, using his Green Dragon Crescent Blade to cut off a large amount of strange iron, and he also dismantled the iron gate beside him.

By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).

Then, deposit all of it into the red envelope.

These indestructible iron stones were perfect for blocking the high-temperature magma beneath Leifeng Pagoda.

The magma's temperature of over 1,000 degrees Celsius simply couldn't melt this strange iron.

When the time comes, as long as the lava is blocked, the world-ending crisis under Leifeng Pagoda can be resolved from the bottom up.

"This move can be called killing two birds with one stone."

After collecting enough rare iron, Zhang Bairen leaped into the swirling air mass in mid-air.

Just as Zhang Bairen flew into the air mass, the rapidly spinning air mass underwent another strange change. Originally a diameter of ten feet, it suddenly turned into a three-foot-wide dragon whirlwind. The whirlwind was like a drill and flew straight into the giant pillar!

Just as Zhang Bairen was thrown into the giant pillar, the entire passage and underground mechanism erupted with an unprecedentedly powerful rumble, and all the cave walls and rocks collapsed.

Before the gates of Wushuang City, a small team of a hundred men was still patrolling. Their duty had always been to guard the city gates.

Therefore, they need to work day and night according to the rules; for them, this kind of life, although not very risky, is also quite boring.

But tonight will be the most exciting night in their otherwise monotonous lives!

Because the most brilliant, yet most terrifying, move in history is about to be unleashed at this moment!

The guards, who were already so tired that they kept yawning, were suddenly jolted awake by some voices!

"Hey, have you guys heard anything strange?!"

"Strange sound? What strange sound?"

"Okay...it seems there really is a strange sound."

Moreover, the strange sound was coming from underground!

"No! It's not underground, it's... it's that iron pillar!"

"

"Here it comes!" Before the guard's voice had even finished, with a loud "bang," the top of the iron pillar in front of Wushuang City Gate, which was engraved with the words "Martial Saint," was suddenly shattered by an unparalleled force, and pieces of iron flew everywhere!

At the same time, a small dragon whirlwind emerged from the top of the pillar, and the guards saw a person spinning rapidly inside the whirlwind.

The cyclone had just flown out of the pillar and then shot into the air. At this point, the cyclone had exhausted its power and immediately dissipated.

Zhang Bairen paused in the sky, a smile appearing on his lips, which then grew wider and wider.

Hahaha, hahahaha!

"

"So that's how it is! So that's how this move works! Hahahaha!"

"!" Zhang Bairen burst into unrestrained laughter.

"A love that could topple cities, a divine teleportation into the void, I never expected to get a buy-one-get-one-free deal!" At this moment, Zhang Bairen could not contain his joy.

This time, in addition to the legendary love that could topple cities, we also obtained Lady Wushuang's unique skill - Divine Shift in the Void!

Perhaps it was because her spirit and will had existed in this move for too long that when Zhang Bairen obtained the Love of the City, all the insights into teleportation appeared in his mind at the same time.
