Father and Son Take the Field

"Boom!"

Gu Jian stood proudly, stomping his foot down. The Sky-Splitting Sword began to tremble violently, emitting a sword cry like the roar of a hundred beasts, making souls tremble.

"What terrifying pressure, is this still Xiantian Realm? It feels like a wisp of sword qi leaking out could kill someone at Xiantian Peak."

A prodigy from the Human Ranking exclaimed in shock.

"What kind of sword move is this, it's so terrifying!" Crimson Fire Hermit's eyes widened. He actually felt a sense of danger from this move.

He was at Vajra Realm Middle Stage.

This child is terrifying. Once he reaches Vajra Realm, even he wouldn't be his opponent.

His eyes showed delight. The stronger Gu Jian was, the better. If Chu Jiang won today, wouldn't he be losing out big time?

"Great Freedom Geng Metal Sword Qi!"

Gu Jian roared, his entire body's vital blood began to burn, gathering power for this sword strike.

A dazzling golden sword qi emerged, like a blazing sun in the sky. Its radiance was extremely blinding, making it impossible to look directly at.

The sword qi contained immense power. Anything it touched instantly turned to dust, as if nothing in this world could block its sharpness.

Hard rocks, in the face of this power, were as fragile as tofu, easily cut into countless pieces and scattering everywhere.

Where the two stood, some thick trees were snapped in half, their leaves turning to dust.

It transformed into a dust dragon, enveloping the entire battlefield, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Rumble!

The huge rumbling sound was as if the earth was cracking.

It was like an ancient great bell resonating, making souls disoriented.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, and the gray mist receded, the two reappeared before everyone's eyes.

Chu Jiang hadn't retreated half a step. Such a powerful sword qi was enough to tear through the defense of Vajra Realm Middle Stage, yet not a single scratch could be seen on him.

Gu Jian's Blood Essence was excessively consumed, blood staining his white robe. He knelt on one knee, almost collapsing from exhaustion, unable to stand.

"You... win!"

Gu Jian said with difficulty.

"He could block an attack of this magnitude? Is he human or ghost!"

The Vajra Realm powerhouses on the high platform were shocked. If he had retreated a few steps, or had a slight injury, it could still be understood.

But to be completely unharmed, this was too heaven-defying.

"What, he actually defeated Gu Jian, the number one on the Human Ranking!" Li Yu of the Hundred Flowers Sect's eyes widened. Doesn't that mean his strength is even greater than their Sect Master's?

Lu Chief Clerk: "This child's strength is too great. You need to communicate with him more in the future. Look at him, then look at you. It makes me so angry I could spit."

"Father, you don't need to tell me. This Young Master is even planning to become sworn brothers with him. Let's see who dares to bully me in the future. I'll just slap them." Lu Feiyang said excitedly with a laugh.

Lu Chief Clerk: "..."

"Ah, you bastard! This damned Chu Jiang, what kind of sorcery did he use to defeat my cousin?" Gongsun Sheng's molars were grinding together. With this, his desire for revenge became even more distant.

Gu Hongchen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar the moment he saw Gu Jian's defeat.

He himself was once no match for Blood Saber.

Now his son had also lost to a successor of Blood Saber.

Doesn't this prove that he, Gu Hongchen, and his descendants are all inferior to Blood Saber?

They could never escape this curse, almost burying his last hope.

"No, this is impossible."

His heart roared, and the true essence within his body began to surge violently.

"I haven't lost yet, no!"

Gu Hongchen fell into madness, his entire body began to tremble. He took a step forward, sword qi surging around him, the aura of Xiantian Peak sweeping in all directions.

"What terrifying pressure, truly worthy of being the previous number one on the Human Ranking."

"What is Gu Hongchen trying to do? He's not going to shamelessly attack Chu Jiang after seeing his son defeated, is he?"

"There's a possibility. Look at his aura is unstable, he's in an extremely berserk state, filled with rage, very dangerous."

The Vajra Realm powerhouses on the high platform discussed.

"This is a sign of qi deviation!" Fire Hand Judge said gravely.

"What!"

The others were startled, realizing the gravity of the situation.

Fire Hand Judge was the only late-stage Vajra Realm expert in the VIP seats, with sharp insight. He wouldn't speak without reason.

A Xiantian Peak in a frenzy, who could possibly stop him?

"Everyone, I suddenly remembered my beloved wife is waiting for me at home for dinner, so I won't be staying long."

"Cough, cough, time's up, I need to return to my sect to teach martial arts to my disciples. I'll take my leave first."

"Sigh, I almost forgot about the old sow at home waiting for me to feed her. I'm leaving..."

"Me too..."

Everyone present was sharp as a tack. As soon as they heard the Fire Hand Judge's words, they were terrified and scrambled to flee.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the Vajra Realm experts on the high platform had left.

Only a dozen or so Vajra Realm experts remained.

"Gu Hongchen, after all these years, you haven't changed one bit."

"If you hadn't sent people to ambush me back then, do you think you could have defeated Blood Saber?"

Chu Jiang roared. Old habits die hard. It looked like he wanted to enter the fray himself.

Perfect. He had obtained the Blood Saber Legacy, and he had to settle this score for him.

"Shut up, what do you know, you little brat!"

Chu Jiang's words seemed to have struck Gu Hongchen's biggest scar. The Flying Cloud Sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and his entire being erupted, like a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Netherworld, Setting Sun Radiance!"

The sword light was brilliant, like a scorching sun about to incinerate the earth.

Countless sword lights brought waves of invisible pressure, making it difficult to breathe, like gusts of wind sweeping in all directions.

"This Gu Hongchen is going for the kill! He's using his signature ultimate skill right off the bat!"

The Fire Hand Judge watched the battle ahead, his tone grave.

It seemed that battle back then had greatly affected Gu Hongchen.

He had won dishonorably, which became a mental demon after advancing to the Vajra Realm, forever barring him from the path of a martial arts Grandmaster.

"It's fate."

The Iron Mask Ghost raised an eyebrow slightly. Few people knew about this matter, and they wouldn't spread it around recklessly, lest they offend the Sword King Sect.

"Old man, die for me!"

Chu Jiang let out a furious roar, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes. His entire aura underwent a drastic change.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed across the surface of his body. The golden light flickered and quickly converged into a layer of golden armor covering his entire body.

At the same time, Chu Jiang's body began to swell, his muscles bulging, veins protruding, making him stand tall like a mountain.

Traces of lightning patterns gradually appeared on his skin. These lightning patterns roamed his body, echoing the thunderous patterns, making his aura even more terrifying.

At this moment.

Chu Jiang's aura surged out like a stormy sea, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

Bang!

Chu Jiang changed his fist into a palm, shattering countless violent sword qi with a single slap.

His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind Gu Hongchen. With his other hand, he threw a punch, and the air roared.

The terrifying power caused the airflow in the area to explode. Gu Hongchen's Flying Cloud Sword struck backward, instantly colliding with Chu Jiang's palm.

The immense recoil sent Gu Hongchen flying back more than ten meters, his sword-holding hand trembling.

"How is this possible?"

He widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.

Chu Jiang's physical body was actually stronger than his own. He had cultivated the Sword King Sect's ultimate martial art, the Sword King Treasure Body, to great success. Even a Xiantian Peak expert would only retreat if they clashed with him in terms of strength.

"You broke through to the Vajra Realm long ago and still fought my son. You're shameless!"

Gu Hongchen suddenly understood. How could Chu Jiang's physical body, which could suppress him, possibly be broken through by his son, who was only at the Xiantian Realm?

Chu Jiang sneered, "Who said I was at the Xiantian Realm? You never asked."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hongchen was instantly furious, almost spitting out Blood Essence.

"Brat, I'll kill you!"

The two instantly clashed, and the sky was filled with sword light, extremely terrifying, like countless meteors streaking across the sky, carrying an aura of destruction.

Meanwhile.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle.

In a hidden corner of Black Wind Mountain, a phantasmal Infant Soul was observing in secret.

The Infant Soul was naturally a split soul of the Earth Fiend Star. Ever since his clone was destroyed by Chu Jiang last time, he had been looking for an opportunity to scout for a new candidate.

It just so happened that the situation in the arena was chaotic, which was the best opportunity for him.

He wouldn't have gone to such lengths if it weren't to enter that secret realm.

"Who should I find?"

The Earth Fiend Star's split soul scanned the area. There was no point considering those in the Vajra Realm; this split soul was still weak, so it was best to find someone in the Xiantian Realm for stability.

Preferably someone young, with abundant Blood Essence.

"Heh, you're the one!"

The Earth Fiend Star let out a sinister grin and instantly vanished from its spot, as if it had spotted a satisfactory prey.
