And right there in this pillar of lightning.
A voice suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire Tian Qi City!
"I am the Sword Guardian of Northern Li."
"Xie Zhize."
"I would like to challenge the Academy Second Master to a duel to prove that our Northern Li is not without men!"
The situation is gradually becoming chaotic.
A major upheaval in the imperial court.
Finally, Xie Zhize, the first Grand Tutor when the Northern Li was established and now the Sword Guardian of the Sword Pavilion, could no longer contain himself.
Although he knew about the sword that flew towards Emperor Tai An that day.
It has been proven that he is far from being a match for Jiang Mu Ming.
But he also understood that if he didn't step forward and prove to the world that there were still powerful figures in Northern Li, then he would be in serious trouble.
Then Northern Li might really be on the verge of collapse!
Therefore, he wants to challenge Jiang Mu Ming!
Academy, small courtyard.
Jiang Mu Ming casually caught a fallen leaf, put down the book in his hand, and slowly stood up.
He murmured, "Xie Zhize? He's a decent opponent."
Then, it shot into the sky!
In the blink of an eye, they surpassed the highest point in Tian Qi City.
Overlooking the entire Tian Qi City.
He stared directly at the pillar of lightning before him.
With his hands behind his back, he said, "Since you've challenged me to a battle, why not show yourself?"
The next moment.
A figure dressed in a black robe appeared in front of Jiang Mu Ming.
The other party cupped his hands and said, "My name is Xie Zhize. I was the first Grand Tutor of Northern Li. Unfortunately, although I have lived more than a hundred years longer than you, sir, in terms of strength, I am far inferior to you."
"I am truly ashamed."
These words sounded ordinary to Jiang Mu Ming Muming.
Those who enter the Profound Spirit Realm can be said to have entered the path of immortality.
The stronger the strength.
The passage of time becomes less daunting.
Going back two hundred years, in Su Baiyi's time, there were many people who lived to be several hundred years old.
Even decades later, Mo Yi still doesn't look old.
However, Xie Zhize was quite special, because the Xie Zhize before them was only a Remnant Soul.
Neither human nor ghost.
That's why he lived for over a hundred years.
But to others, these words were like a thunderclap!
Especially the courtiers of the Northern Li Dynasty.
Everyone was overjoyed; their Northern Li actually had such a person who had lived for over a hundred years!
As long as the other party makes a move, they will definitely be able to kill this so-called Academy Second Master!
After all, who in this Under Heaven can live for over a hundred years?
Even Baili Dongjun, who knew the secrets of Li Changsheng's Great Chun Art, was startled.
To be able to live for over a hundred years, could this mean he's a powerful figure who doesn't belong to his master, Li Changsheng?
Ye Dingzhi, Xiao Ruo Feng, and others.
Everyone was worried for Jiang Mu Ming, even though the other party claimed that he was no match for Jiang Mu Ming.
But why would the other party come out to challenge them?
Who knows, maybe they were just being modest!
But only Jiang Mu Ming knew that the other party was not being modest, but that their strength was truly limited to this level.
With Xie Zhize's strength.
They could only stop the heavily injured Poet Sword Immortal Li Xuan.
Li Xuan's strength was not as great as Li Changsheng's.
How could they possibly contend with Jiang Mu Ming?
"You want to challenge me? Aren't you afraid of your soul being scattered?"
Jiang Mu Ming said calmly.
Across from him, Xie Zhize sighed and said, "Fear, of course I'm afraid."
"But for the sake of Northern Li, it wouldn't be good if you thought I had no one in Northern Li."
"Therefore, I have specially requested a battle from you, sir."
Xie Zhize reached out and beckoned, and instantly, lightning flashed everywhere, and a bolt of lightning surged toward Xie Zhize.
The sword that landed in his hand was none other than the sword held by the Emperor of the Northern Li Kingdom!
"This sword is called Heavenly Slash. I am but a humble scholar, and even after guarding it for over a hundred years, I can only wield it for a short while."
"But with the help of this divine sword, my strength has reached the mid-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm."
"I hope you will not underestimate Northern Li."
Mid-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm!
These words resonated like thunder in the hearts of Ye Dingzhi, Xiao Ruo Feng, and the others.
The Profound Spirit Realm is already beyond comprehension.
This person, with the help of the Heavenly Slash Sword, has actually entered the mid-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm!
Its strength is truly unfathomable!
Sir, although your strength is difficult to fathom, you are still young. Can you truly be a match for this person?
"One slash, Nine Heavens Thunder!"
Xie Zhize grasped the Heavenly Slash Sword and used it to draw down the Nine Heavens Thunder.
In an instant.
A great flash of lightning.
