Sword Point

With powerful treasures in his possession, two sets of ancient scripture fragments, and the Divine Lord Seal, there are far too many people who covet his status, position Jian Qingyang, and treasures.

Jian Qingyang was open-minded, unrestrained and free-spirited. He was devoted to the pursuit of martial arts and made friends with heroes from all over the world.

He was generous and magnanimous towards his friends, offering help without expecting anything in return.

He was ruthless and merciless towards the enemy, never showing any mercy and killing them all!

Time proved Jian Qingyang's strength and his ability to assume the position of Lord Qingyang. Gradually, fewer and fewer people challenged Jian Qingyang.

But correspondingly, those who dare to take on challenges are becoming increasingly stronger!

Finally, one day, an extraordinary figure arrived in the Central State Heavenly Prefecture.

Zhongzhou is the territory of the human race, but the person who challenged Jian Qingyang was born into the Demon Race.

He came from the West Sea, where he was hailed as West Sea with the potential to become a demon god.

In the Twelve Emperor Heavens, the human race and the Demon Race are not on good terms. There have been large-scale wars in history. Although the two races are generally at peace now, there are always small-scale conflicts.

The position of Great World Divine Lord is not limited to either human or Demon Race.

Those with great power who gain the approval of Heaven and Earth can wield the Divine Lord Seal.

The Divine Lord Seal is a symbol of racial glory.

Now, a peerless figure from the Demon Race has actually come to their human land, wanting to take away the Divine Lord Seal. How can the human race tolerate this?

Jian Qingyang received this news in the Central State Divine Palace. His eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and he felt an indescribable excitement.

He had heard of the name of this peerless figure from the Demon Race. His name was Sha Hongxue, and his name came from his hair. He had a head of enchanting red hair, but many silver strands were also mixed in with it.

Sha Hongxue is a renowned figure among the Demon Race of the West Sea. To sum it up in one sentence, he is the most arrogant person in millions of years!

He's an absolute madman!

In fact, Jian Qingyang was also a madman, but while he was mad, he was also generous and loved making friends. He was approachable to his people.

But Sha Hongxue was different. He was arrogant to the core, so arrogant that he had no friends. Even the Demon Race geniuses of the West Sea were not worth his attention.

Soon, the madman Sha Hongxue did something very much in line with his personality. This peerless figure of the Demon Race actually stood on the highest Divine Mountain in Central State Heavenly Prefecture and issued a challenge.

This challenge contained the pure Yang law. When the challenge was written, it shone with golden light, and the characters on the challenge actually flew down and turned into a line of large characters that stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles, spanning the sky of Central State Heavenly Prefecture!

The challenge letter clearly stated the Demon Race's challenger, and specified the time and place of the battle!

Throughout the entire Central State Heavenly Prefecture, countless people saw this declaration of war in the sky.

In an instant, the news spread like wildfire; that peerless figure from the Demon Race was simply too arrogant!

The ancient kingdoms and countless heroes of the human race in Zhongzhou were enraged. A Demon Race dared to come to their doorstep to provoke them, and a challenge letter covered the sky of Zhongzhou. How arrogant they were!

He even wanted to take the Divine Lord Seal back to the Demon Race —that's utterly outrageous!

At the Central State Divine Palace, Jian Qingyang witnessed all of this, his fighting spirit intensifying.

He was an extremely confident person; the more arrogant and powerful the other party was, the more excited he became!

Moreover, his <Yang God Scripture> is about to break through to a new level, and his strength will advance by leaps and bounds. Sha Hongxue's arrival is just in time. He will use Sha Hongxue's blood to forge his own invincible legend!

This battle attracted countless outstanding figures from the human race to watch, including many powerful figures from the Demon Race who also came to Zhongzhou.

At this time, there was still a month until the agreed battle time, but more and more people were coming to Zhongzhou. There were tens of thousands of big names alone, and countless ordinary martial artists.

In the month leading up to the battle, Jian Qingyang went into seclusion. Although he was arrogant, this arrogance was based on absolute strength; he was never blindly conceited.

The opponent is very strong, and this is a match where victory is the only option.

On the human race's home turf, under the watchful eyes of billions, how could they explain defeat to their people if they were to lose to a Demon Race?

Moreover, if he fails, he will lose the Divine Lord Seal, and the Central State Heavenly Prefecture will lose the position of Great World Divine Lord, which will be obtained by the West Sea Demon Race!

This is a great disgrace to the Central Plains' talent and to the human race!

Jian Qingyang absolutely cannot allow this Divine Lord Seal to be lost in his hands.

This battle was arguably the most important battle of his life!

However, Jian Qingyang never thought he would lose. His <Yang God Scripture> breaking through to the next level was a foregone conclusion, because... in the Guixu Secret Realm, in addition to obtaining the <Yang God Scripture> and the <Nine Nether Sacred Canon>, he also obtained a great treasure.

It was a broken sword, or more precisely, a section of the sword tip.

The sword tip was only about a foot long, covered in rust, and looked like scrap metal. However, with Jian Qingyang's understanding of swordsmanship and the Pure Yang Law, he recognized that the sword tip was no ordinary object!

He spent twenty years in the Guixu Secret Realm, studying the Yang God Scripture and comprehending the Dao through this very sword tip.

Now, he has reached an extraordinary level in both swordsmanship and the Pure Yang Law.

If he breaks through again this time, his strength will reach an unbelievable level!

By then, no matter how strong or arrogant Sha Hongxue is, she will not be his match!

The Divine Lord Seal is destined to remain in Zhongzhou, in the Great Gan Dynasty, and in the hands of Jian Qingyang!

Therefore, after accepting the challenge, Jian Qingyang chose to go into seclusion.

Under immense pressure as the decisive battle approaches, he wants to use this as an opportunity to break through his limitations!

To ensure a successful breakthrough, Saint Empress Bai Yueyin went into seclusion with Jian Qingyang to assist him in breaking through to the final realm.

Jian Qingyang's cultivation was not very smooth at first, but fortunately, Bai Yueyin helped him by continuously gathering Pure Yang Power to help Jian Qingyang control the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

Bai Yueyin and he had been together for a long time, cultivating together. Bai Yueyin understood his martial arts cultivation as well as he understood his own.

Three days before the great battle, Jian Qingyang's cultivation reached its most crucial stage.

At this moment, his understanding of the Pure Yang Law reached its peak, and he entered a state of emptiness and egolessness. At this time, he absolutely could not be disturbed. However, with the protection of the strictly sealed cultivation forbidden area and Bai Yueyin as his protector, Jian Qingyang never worried about such things.

Inside the secret chamber of the Central State Divine Palace, Jian Qingyang sat cross-legged, completely focused. Pure Yang Energy emanated from his pores, circulating for an Empress being absorbed back into his body. Divine light shone throughout the chamber.

Jian Qingyang's expression was calm, his eyes tightly closed. He felt that he was about to break through; he only needed to press on with his energy...

However... what he never expected was that just as he was about to break through—

"Snap."

The faint, almost hallucinatory, sword cry was barely audible to Jian Qingyang, who was in a state of emptiness and egolessness. By the time he sensed the approaching Sword Qi, the intense pain surged through his chest like a tidal wave!

At the most crucial moment of his life, a cold, menacing sword was plunged into his heart...

He was completely unprepared for this, and didn't even realize it...

And just like that... a sword pierced through his chest!

Jian Qingyang his eyes in disbelief. His pure Pure Yang Energy, like an exploded stream of air, tore at his clothes and skin, surging wildly through the secret chamber. His internal energy instantly became chaotic, breaking through his meridians, and blood gushed from his mouth.

Amidst this raging, chaotic current, a familiar figure stood before Jian Qingyang, her long hair flowing freely, revealing a face as beautiful as the moon, yet as cold as ice—a face he knew intimately, yet felt utterly unfamiliar with...

That delicate hand, which he had held countless times, was now gripping a Longsword, the other end of which pierced his heart and went through his chest!

Bai Yueyin, his wife... actually wanted to end her own life at the most important moment of his life?

The air currents swirled wildly in the secret chamber, and he was covered in blood. But Jian Qingyang seemed unable to hear the muffled thunder-like sound, nor could he feel the pain in his body. In his eyes, there were only Bai Yueyin's cold eyes, and only the feeling of her sword being slowly pulled from his heart.

As the sword was drawn, Jian Qingyang's soul was repeatedly extracted as well.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed the sword blade stained with his own heart's blood. His lips twitched as blood streamed down his face.

"Why..."

Jian Qingyang's voice trembled. At that moment, he felt like he was having a nightmare, a dream from which he would never wake up.

He desperately wanted to know the reason, even if it meant death, he wanted to know the reason.

Why would she swing her sword at herself?

But... that stunningly beautiful White-robed woman didn't say a word...
