The Strongest Sword: Sword Twenty-Three
"Within the realm of swordsmanship, everything is frozen, leaving them at his mercy."
"Unable to break free of the Sword Domain, even a Nascent Soul expert, let alone a Golden Core cultivator, can only await their death!"
"In fact, he has also reached the supreme state of Mind Manifestation!"
"His sword intent is so profound that even I cannot match it!"
Huang Rong and Inviting Moon gasped in shock.
In fact, even though they were curious about Dugu Jian before, after learning the cultivation techniques, they didn't really care.
But after hearing Jiang Li's description of Sword Twenty-Three, they were no longer calm!
[Wudang Centenarian: Sword Twenty-Three, this is truly a perfect sword technique!]
[Heaven and Earth Infinite Borrowing Method: What a terrifying sword technique! To kill a Nascent Soul expert with the skill of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts! Dugu Jian is indeed a peerless genius.]
[Wang Chao: The world of martial arts is terrifying! They've even managed to freeze time and space. I wonder how Xiong Ba became the number one overlord in their world.]
[Qiao Feng of Beggar Sect: I can't wait to witness the Sword Saint's prowess!]
[Zixia Gentleman Sword: I can't see it anymore. Didn't Jiang Li say that Dugu Jian hasn't even created Sword Twenty-Three yet?]
[Little Li Flying Dagger: I regret it. I should have been shameless and followed Boss Jiang Li.]
Jiang Li led Huang Rong and Inviting Moon for a while, and soon arrived at a desolate area with open spaces on all sides.
It was at this moment that the sounds of fighting reached their ears.
After walking for a while, two figures engaged in a fierce battle came into view.
The two fought fiercely, their sword energy crisscrossing as they battled, blasting the ground apart.
It was the Sword Saint Dugu and Wu Ming's close friend Monk Wuxu, who were fighting.
"These two martial arts grandmasters are no less skilled than Xiong Ba!"
With their Inviting Moon and the other person could naturally discern the cultivation levels of the two combatants.
In their world, even grandmasters are extremely rare.
In this Wind and Cloud World, they encountered two martial arts grandmasters in just one day.
The world of mid-level martial arts is indeed incomparable to the world of low-level martial arts.
No wonder even someone with Xiong Ba's Xiong Ba hadn't conquered the world!
"That white-haired one is none other than the Sword Saint, Dugu Jian!"
"Who among you will give it a try!"
Jiang Li showed no intention of personally getting involved.
"Brother Jiang Li, let me do it!"
Huang Rong was eager to try.
She, from Peach Blossom Island, also possessed swordsmanship skills, and naturally wanted to spar with Dugu Jian.
"I'll back you up!"
Inviting Moon and Huang Rong exchanged a glance, and together they rushed into the arena, instantly separating Sword Saint Dugu and Monk Wuxu!

Chapter 87 The Strongest Sword, Sword Twenty-Three
Who are you?
Both Dugu Jian and Monk Wuxu changed drastically.
An expert's skill is immediately apparent. In an instant, they realized that the two women who had suddenly appeared possessed even greater and more unfathomable abilities than they had. They hadn't even used their full strength to shake the two of them off.
They also spotted Jiang Li not far away.
"I've long heard that Sword Saint Dugu's Holy Spirit Sword Art is invincible, and my younger sister is curious to see it for herself!"
"Old monk, if you want to fight the Sword Saint, let's do it another day!"
Inviting Moon faced the Monk Wuxu, looking as if she would attack if he dared to harass Dugu Jian Monk Wuxu again.
"Please, miss, do as you please!"
So they came looking for the Sword Saint, Dugu Jian.
Upon hearing this, the Monk Wuxu stepped aside.
He wasn't originally a competitive person, but he fought with the Sword Saint because he saw that the Sword Saint was going to disrespect the grave of the Wu Ming wife.
"I never imagined that after decades of seclusion, two such skilled ladies would emerge from the martial world!"
"In terms of skill alone, even I am somewhat inferior to you!"
Even the Sword Saint was somewhat moved.
Huang Rong and Inviting Moon looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, yet their martial arts skills were unparalleled in the world.
"Sword Saint, there's no need for modesty. We're not on the same level as you!"
"We did come out on the better side, but in terms of martial arts, I am no match for you!"
Huang Rong shook her head and slowly drew her longsword.
She herself had practiced martial arts, so she naturally understood how difficult it was to cultivate martial arts to the level of a grandmaster; talent and opportunity were both indispensable.
"Not in the same system?"
Dugu Jian was taken aback, somewhat not understanding what he was saying.
The next moment, seeing Huang Rong draw her longsword, his eyes flashed with a sharp light:
"What a fine sword!"
"I never imagined that such a divine weapon existed in the world!"
He stared in shock at the long sword in Huang Rong's hand.
"This is merely a magical artifact; compared to the Sword Saint's Matchless Sword, it's still somewhat inferior!"
Huang Rong was telling the truth.
No matter how powerful her magical artifacts are, they are useless without their master's activation.
But the Matchless Sword of the Sword Saint Dugu has become sentient; it cannot be compared to this inanimate object.
Moreover, judging from the fact that Nie Feng almost killed Xiong Ba with a single sword strike, the Matchless Sword is not as simple as it seems!
"A magical artifact?"
Dugu Jian was stunned again.
Have I been living in seclusion for too long and lost touch with the pace of life in the martial arts world?
Why was it that every time this woman spoke, he couldn't understand what she was saying?
Please advise!
Having said that, Huang Rong stopped wasting time.
With a sharp shout, she drew her sword and charged towards the Sword Saint!
"Since you wish to witness the Holy Spirit Holy Spirit Sword Art Holy Spirit Sword Art, I will now spar with you using it!"
"Sword One!"
Dugu Jian used his fingers as a sword and immediately began fighting Huang Rong.
For a moment, sword energy filled the arena.
In terms of martial arts skills alone, Huang Rong is naturally inferior to Dugu Jian.
After all, this was a sword saint who had mastered dozens of sword techniques. In terms of skill, perhaps only the Wu Ming in the world could rival him.
However, Huang Rong's weapon was sharp, and since she used magic, even a casual move of hers was incredibly powerful.
Under this fighting style that is almost entirely based on brute force, no matter how profound Dugu Jian's sword techniques are, they cannot unleash their true power.
"Brother Jiang Li, who will win?"
Wan Wan asked!
"If the Sword Saint cannot comprehend the Sword Twenty-Three, he will certainly not be a match for Rong'er!"
Jiang Li's mind was already focused on analyzing the Holy Spirit Sword Art.
The Holy Spirit Sword Art is indeed profound, but it is inferior to Huang Rong, a cultivator, in terms of power level.
He was extremely frustrated and didn't dare to confront Huang Rong head-on.
Even when Huang Rong made a move, he would usually dodge first and then look for an opportunity to retaliate.
"Sword Twenty-Three?"
Dugu Jian's heart stirred.
Does Sword Twenty-Three really exist?
Because through his deductions, he discovered that Sword Twenty-Two was already the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
"This mysterious young man spoke of the Sword Twenty-Three; could it be that such a sword technique truly exists?"
His heart suddenly burned with excitement, and while fighting, he began to think rapidly about Sword Twenty-Three!
[You observed the Dugu Jian using the Holy Spirit Sword Art; every move was incredibly profound, his swordsmanship divine. You have comprehended the Holy Spirit Sword Art!]
Finally, after completing one round of using the Holy Spirit Sword Art, Jiang Li successfully grasped its Holy Spirit Sword Art.
A thought struck him, and he said, "Dugu, I observe that your Sword Twenty-Two has reached the pinnacle of transformation, yet its potential remains untapped. There must be Sword Twenty-Three to come!"
"Sword Twenty-Three, Annihilate Heaven and Earth!"
"Such swordsmanship is not limited by moves; it is the sublimation of sword intent and spirit!"
The momentum is not yet exhausted!
Only by elevating one's sword intent and spirit can one achieve the Sword Twenty-Three.
