Defeating Li Xuanjun, the Dust Settles

"I'm not just someone who knows how to use a sword..."

A casual remark made Li Xuanjun's expression freeze.

Yes!

The young man before him kept sparring with him using Sword Dao, but was Sword Dao truly his strongest skill?

Chen Ning used Sword Dao to hone his Sword Intent and reach a higher level by facing the formidable opponent Li Xuanjun.

At this time

Chen Ning has already achieved his goal.

The Unyielding Sword Intent of the Heaven-Slaying Sword had just unleashed unprecedented power.

This demonstrates a further refinement of one's understanding of Sword Dao.

So.

At this point, there was no need to continue fighting Li Xuanjun with swords.

In Chen Ning's hand, a ball of lightning shimmering with three colors condensed, and then he suddenly threw it out.

Lightning exploded.

Li Xuanjun's expression changed slightly, and he slashed out with his sword.

The azure Sword-Ray shattered the lightning.

However.

This is just one of Chen Ning's many methods.

Immediately.

A moving melody resounded between heaven and earth.

This is truly moving.

It's not a description.

Li Xuanjun felt that the music directly affected his use of vital energy and the flow of Qi and Blood in his body.

He quickly held his breath and focused his mind to resist this musical technique.

Seeing that the Dao of Music was working, Chen Ning couldn't help but smile.

Soon.

A massive fist-shaped beam of light, radiating the power of flames, slammed down!

Destruction Divine Fist!

Li Xuanjun drew his sword again, blocking the punch.

But.

This time, however, he took a few steps back.

"The sect leader was actually defeated!"

Far away.

The people of Ten Thousand Swords Valley stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

Chen Ning did not give Li Xuanjun any breathing room.

The Great Dao of Frost erupted with terrifying cold, freezing the entire space.

Li Xuanjun finally felt the pressure. He shattered the surrounding frost with a single sword strike and exclaimed, "Young friend, you are truly a prodigy! To be able to cultivate so many Great Daos to a level no weaker than the Dao of Sword Dao! This is truly the first time I have ever seen anything like it!"

Chen Ning smiled faintly; indeed, there were a few too many tricks up his sleeve.

However, this was also because Chen Ning had finally encountered a powerful expert, so naturally he wanted to practice as much as possible the Dao techniques that he had just broken through to the highest level.

None of the Grandmaster Chen Ning had encountered before were worthy of using such power of the Great Dao.

It has to be said.

Li Xuanjun is truly strong, able to withstand the combined attacks of multiple Great Daos simultaneously; he truly deserves to be called the strongest Grandmaster in the Azure Heaven Realm.

Chen Ning was burning with fighting spirit.

By pushing several Great Daos to their limits, they gradually forced Li Xuanjun into a series of defeats.

"Azure Nether Slash!"

Li Xuanjun roared, and a bright blue light shone forth. Sword Qi crisscrossed, transforming into a ferocious dragon that charged towards Chen Ning.

This sword strike was Li Xuanjun's strongest strike in his entire life.

He once challenged Song Huai, and with this one sword strike, even Celestial Person had to take a half-step back.

Chen Ning, however, remained calm and composed, not retreating a single step. His eyes blazed with golden light, and his voice boomed like Jinglei: "Suppress!"

The Ruyi Jingu Bang) suddenly appeared.

It gleamed with golden light, and its length increased dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, it had grown to a height of a thousand feet.

Even those a little distance away could clearly see a golden, gleaming divine staff soaring into the sky, immense in size.

"How terrifying..."

"What level of divine weapon is this?"

The people of Ten Thousand Swords Valley had never heard of such a thing before; it was completely beyond their comprehension.

At this moment, Li Xuanjun was also speechless, watching helplessly as the enormous divine staff pressed down, making the dragon he had slain appear exceptionally small.

It was suppressed and dissipated in an instant.

Its power remains undiminished.

As the golden light fell, Li Xuanjun could no longer hold onto the Divine Sword of Calamity Annihilation.

"Clang!"

The Divine Sword of Calamity Annihilation fell.

Li Xuanjun closed his eyes, waiting for the divine staff's power to descend.

But.

The imagined destruction never came.

Li Xuanjun opened his eyes in surprise and saw Chen Ning with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Chen Ning, with his black hair flowing and his white robes spotless, cupped his hands and smiled, saying:

"Senior, you flatter me!"

Upon hearing this...

Li Xuanjun fell silent for a moment, but then a look of relief appeared on his weathered face.

"You may take the eldest prince away now..."

For him, defeat at this point would actually be the best outcome.

He no longer needs to become a sinner in the entire Azure Heaven Realm to protect the eldest prince.

Far away.

The people of Ten Thousand Swords Valley were in an uproar.

"The sect leader actually lost..."

"This child is so ferocious, could he be a god descended to earth?"

"Too strong... too strong..."

Countless disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Valley were utterly shocked.

Their sect leader, who was like a legend in their hearts, had actually been defeated...

Known as the invincible Grandmaster Realm, the Sword Dao master at the threshold of the Celestial Person Realm, and the nightmare of all Grandmaster, he has been defeated by a young man today.

After today.

Another legend has been born in the Azure Heaven Realm!

At this moment, the most terrified person was none other than the eldest prince. He was trapped here and could not move an inch, but he had also witnessed firsthand how Chen Ning defeated this legend of the Azure Heaven Realm.

I originally thought Chen Ning was just trying to stop a chariot with his bare hands.

Result.

However, he decisively defeated Li Xuanjun.

This also meant that his fate was sealed.

His cultivation level has been exposed, and he's been plotting such a scheme. Once he's taken back to the palace, he'll face a near-certain death.

There was no chance of escape.

He sighed with grief and despair, his gaze towards Chen Ning filled with resentment. Where did this extraordinary person come from? If it weren't for him, he could have accomplished great things!

Now.

But there's no chance of turning things around...

"Sect Leader!"

Grandmaster Danxia and Curly-Bearded Grandmaster arrived at Li Xuanjun's side, their faces filled with apprehension as they looked at Chen Ning.

Even though they knew they were no match for them.

But he still stood in front of Li Xuanjun.

"No need to intervene. This matter is settled; it is my personal affair."

Li Xuanjun waved his hand, his voice carrying for miles. "From today onwards, I am no longer the leader of Ten Thousand Swords Valley. Elder Danxia will succeed me as leader."

These words were spoken.

This once again shocked everyone in the Ten Thousand Swords Valley.

But.

Many people were also very perceptive, especially when they saw that the eldest prince and Princess Xuanyin were both present, and they guessed some of the reasons.

"Sect Leader... do you have some kind of trouble on your mind?"

Curly-Bearded Grandmaster knew that once Li Xuanjun stepped down, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing his position as sect leader; he might not even be able to save his life.

Involving the royal family, and being the most sensitive case of treason, how could it possibly end well?

The Curly-Bearded Grandmaster leaned close to Li Xuanjun's ear and said, "Sect Leader, I have some connections with the Carefree King. Perhaps we can surrender to him and save your life..."

"No!"

Li Xuanjun's expression changed, and he shook his head violently. "If you don't want to see the destruction of Ten Thousand Swords Valley, then behave yourself and don't collude with the Carefree King!"

Seeing the sect leader's serious expression, the Curly-Bearded Grandmaster could only lower his head helplessly.

Finally, Grandmaster Danxia proved to be the wisest, turning to Princess Xuanyin and saying, "Your Highness, Li Xuanjun's collusion with the First Prince is unrelated to Ten Thousand Swords Valley. We are willing to hand over Li Xuanjun, and we hope the royal family will investigate thoroughly!"

Grandmaster Danxia's voice trembled; making this decision was extremely difficult for her as well.

But if we don't do this, we'll be letting down the sect leader's good intentions.

It will also harm everyone in Ten Thousand Swords Valley.

Zhao Yinyin's gaze remained calm as she said, "Ten Thousand Swords Valley also bears responsibility for oversight, but considering that Grandmaster Danxia is impartial, her punishment will be waived."

"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Grandmaster Danxia bowed deeply in reverence.

Chen Ning couldn't help but look at Zhao Yinyin with new respect. With a simple sentence, she let the matter drop, thus preventing other sects and forces that wanted to take advantage of Ten Thousand Swords Valley's misfortune from causing trouble.
