Chapter 777 Sword ArtNot everyone can remain true to their original aspirations after a long time.
Quezhou and Dazhihui were able to do it because they had the great ambition to "save the world".
And in this process, Great Wisdom is not moving forward alone, but fresh blood is often joining in.
But Indra is different. As the original body of Xu Fu, his psychology has long been distorted and pathological.
Even though he has accumulated thousands of years of internal strength, his character is not as good as Juemingsi who performs "cloud backup" every once in a while.
With his narrow vision and extraordinary strength, Emperor Shitian considered himself a god, and could not tolerate the possibility that someone else could be as immortal as himself.So he released the news about Dragon Yuan, causing chaos in the martial arts world, hoping to use the hands of martial arts heroes to completely wipe out this treasure, Dragon Yuan, from the world.
Dragon Essence is a treasure of the same level as Wind Blood, and it is not easy to erase it.
The only way is to let people continue to consume its energy.
There are only two ways to consume its energy, and that is to let the person who takes it continuously absorb the energy to improve his or her own cultivation or recover from injuries.
Since Long Yuan was brought back from the nameless island, more than a hundred people have handled it.
Most of these people were not very strong. They were constantly seriously injured in the siege by others and had to be recovered by the Dragon Yuan, which greatly consumed the energy of the Dragon Yuan.
But now, the Dragon Essence has fallen into the hands of the four major forces including Shang Tonghui and has been obtained by experts. It is more difficult to use it to consume energy through "healing".
Another thing is that even though the speed at which Dragon Essence can improve the cultivation level of the user is limited, even a person with superior aptitude will need several months, but the improvement it can give to the user is likely to allow him to advance to a level that even Emperor Shitian himself cannot deal with.
Therefore, Emperor Shitian could not let the Dragon Essence stay in the hands of those talented warriors for too long.
So, he came up with this method -
On Tianyun Mountain, a battle will determine the Dragon Yuan!
Since this invitation to fight has no specific signature, anyone who sees it will think it is sent by a Dragon Essence owner or someone who does not have Dragon Essence.
Indra wants to completely remove himself and let those who hold the Dragon Essence fight each other. It would be best if both sides are defeated and the energy of the Dragon Essence is completely consumed!Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, all the heroes gathered on Tianyun Mountain, waiting to watch the "Battle for Dragon Yuan".
“It’s coming! It’s really coming!!”
Amid the noise, three forces, the Shangtong Society, the Julang Gang, and the Murong Mansion, appeared one after another.
With their arrival, a large group of people gathered on Tianyun Mountain.
Murong Yanyu had the hottest temper. She said, "Which brat sent this challenge? Stand up and I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Upon seeing this, the heroes began to whisper to each other.
"The last time Murong Yanyu appeared, he seemed far less energetic than he is now. Could it be that, as the rumors say, he has already swallowed the Dragon Essence?"
"If 'Heavenly Sword Misty Rain' had the help of Dragon Essence, I wonder if his swordsmanship would have advanced further..."
"What a coincidence! All of the people who showed up today are swordsmen. If they had all taken Dragon Essence, they might have already reached a higher level in swordsmanship!"
Amid the discussions, Murong Yanyu strode forward, looked down upon the crowd, and said in a loud voice: "Ever since the Murong Mansion got the Dragon Yuan, there have been scoundrels coming to our door every day. It's really annoying."
"Today, we can take advantage of this excitement to settle all the accounts together!"
"Whoever wants the Dragon Essence, please step forward! As long as you can defeat me, the Murong Mansion will offer you the Dragon Essence with both hands!"
As he spoke, Murong Yanyu sent a glance behind him. Murong Ning behind him understood and swung his iron fan with a "snap". Then a sword servant walked out holding a wooden box in both hands.
When the wooden box was opened, the golden dragon essence was revealed!
Instantly, the heroes gasped.
"Dragon Yuan?!"
“It’s really Dragon Essence!!”
"It turns out that Murong Yanyu didn't take the Dragon Essence. It seems that we still have a chance."
"There's no chance! Even if Murong Yanyu didn't take the Dragon Essence, we still can't defeat her..."
The reason why Murong Yanyu did not take the Dragon Yuan was, firstly, that he was not greedy for the power and longevity brought by the Dragon Yuan, and secondly, compared to external objects, he believed more in the sword in his hand.
This time, it was Murong Ning, the head of the family, who should have stepped in to mediate the battle.
However, since Murong Yanyu was defeated by Emperor Shitian last time, he has been able to rise again and make a breakthrough in his martial arts. Now he is in urgent need of finding an opponent to verify his strength.
This is also the main reason why his spirit is more energetic than before. "So, who will go first?"
Murong Yanyu looked at Xuan Zhixuan and Duan Lang: "You should be the ones who sent the challenge today, right?"
"not me."
"Not me either."
Duan Lang and Xuan Zhixuan denied it one after another, which surprised everyone present.
"It's not the Shangtong Society, nor the Julang Gang, so could it be Huanzhu Tower?"
"As for the title of 'The World's No. 1 Swordsman', it's not impossible for Ren Piaomiao to do it, but... it's hard to imagine that he would use Dragon Essence as bait."
"Speaking of which, why hasn't Ren Piaomiao arrived yet?"
"Huanzhulou is a killer organization that collects money and sells lives. It is not a traditional force in the underworld. Maybe they don't care about this challenge at all..."
Before he finished his words, there was a sudden explosion in the distant sky, and thousands of swords opened the way.
"The wind fills the building, rolling up the yellow sand, dancing with swords through the spring and autumn, making the world famous; the rain is misty, tired of the world, returning the pearl to you, like duckweed floating on the autumn water!"
On the sword, a man stood with his hands behind his back, reciting clear poems, and riding the sword on the wind.
Autumn Water Duckweed·Ren Piaomiao, makes a strong debut!
Murong Yanyu couldn't help but criticize: "Young man, you don't practice sword skills properly, you just show off all day long, you're no better than that useless brat in my family!"
This is quite an insult.
How could Ren Piaomiao tolerate this? His sword intent suddenly surged, and murderous aura surged out. Those heroes present who had a weak foundation were instantly suppressed and couldn't breathe.
The heroes were shocked when they saw this, and then they became confused: "Murong Yanyu didn't eat the dragon essence, so what about Ren Piaomiao? Did he eat it? If he did, can he beat Murong Yanyu?..."
The next moment, Fengdu Yue and Fengdie came with a group of Huanzhu Tower assassins.
Fengdie was also holding a wooden box in her hand. When she opened it, she saw dragon essence inside.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, Ren Piaomiao looked at Murong Yanyu: "You haven't eaten the dragon essence, how can I, Ren Piaomiao, use external forces?"
"Today's battle is not for Dragon Essence, but for a sword!"
The two looked at each other, the air was silent and murderous intent was rising.
At this moment, a voice interrupted.
"It's such a coincidence that everyone thought of the same thing."
Xuan Zhixuan also had the wooden box opened to reveal the Dragon Yuan: "However, what I am doing is not a battle of swords, but simply to quell the Dragon Yuan disturbance."
Murong Yanyu and Ren Piaomiao glanced at him at the same time, and then commented mercilessly:"You are a shorty who has self-awareness!"
"You are not qualified to be the best swordsman in the world!"
Xuan Zhixuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his fists trembled.
You two old fools, what are you so proud of?Who isn't a kendo genius? !If I don't distract myself from calculating people's hearts and put all my energy into swordsmanship, how many people in the martial arts world can be my opponent? !
While Xuan Zhixuan was speechless, Duan Lang on the other side patted his belly and laughed.
"Sorry, I'm different from you!"
"The dragon essence has been eaten by me."
"If any of you want Dragon Essence, come and get it yourself."
"As long as you kill me and cut me open, the Dragon Essence will be yours!"
The heroes present suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and thought to themselves: Finally, there is a normal person.
Under normal circumstances, after obtaining the Dragon Essence, one would definitely eat it directly to increase one's strength, which would be more secure, right?How could there be people in this world who have treasures in their hands but don't use them?And there were three of them at once!
I almost thought there was something wrong with our thinking.
so far so good……
Now it seems that we are all normal, and the ones who are wrong are these three!(End of this chapter)
