A sudden change erupted on the Sword God Mountain's Sword Testing Platform.

Besides the Sword Demon, another top-tier expert had arrived.

Ling Rushuang's expression changed. Before she could answer Su Fan, her figure flickered and vanished from the spot.

Su Fan looked toward the sudden crimson saber light on the Sword Testing Platform, fury surging in his heart!

How dare they interrupt his good moment with Senior Sister!

They deserved death!

Boom!

Sword intent surged from Su Fan's body as the forbidden art ran wildly, his lifespan burning away at a frantic pace.

His consciousness transformed into a giant hand and continued reaching for the Forbidden Sword!

"Be good and listen. This young master is in a very bad mood right now. I'm going to kill someone, understand?"

The Forbidden Sword seemed to sense Su Fan's rage. In particular, even the lifespan being poured into it carried a mad, violent intent.

The forbidden art was running wildly.

It seemed utterly unafraid of backlash!

The Forbidden Sword seemed frightened.

Its power of resistance grew weaker and weaker...

Sword Testing Platform.

Chen Cang and the Sword Demon stood facing each other from afar, their sword intents clashing as battle teetered on the brink.

Suddenly, several figures came up the mountain.

The man in the lead wore a golden crown and purple robes, domineering and majestic.

"Chen Cang, hand over the abandoned princess of my Yan Kingdom, or this matter will not end well today!"

Chen Cang's expression turned grave as he said in a deep voice, "King of Zhen of the Yan Kingdom, Ling Jue?"

"It is I!"

Ling Jue declared arrogantly.

"Heh, Sword God Mountain has no one you seek!"

Chen Cang sneered.

"I would like to see just how much foundation your Sword God Mountain has left!"

Ling Jue raised a hand. His domineering aura swept outward as crimson saber light slashed straight at Chen Cang's sword intent!

The Sword Demon frowned and was about to withdraw his sword intent.

Joining hands with another, even if he defeated Chen Cang, what would it prove?

It would tarnish the Sword Demon's fearsome name!

"Sword Demon, the matter of the abandoned princess concerns both my Ling Family and your Devil Palace. Make your move!"

Ling Jue said gravely.

The Sword Demon paused, hesitating.

But when he thought of how important the abandoned princess was, he could only say, "Chen Cang, why remain stubbornly obstinate? Hand her over. Otherwise, the inheritance of Sword God Mountain will be in danger!"

Chen Cang frowned. Why exactly were the Yan Kingdom Imperial Family and the Devil Palace so determined to find Ling Rushuang?

No matter the reason, he would never allow the Yan Kingdom Imperial Family and the Devil Palace to take her away.

He sneered. "Then let us see what you are capable of!"

Boom!

Chen Cang's sword intent intensified further, and the Emperor Sword emerged.

Sword light rippled outward, filling all directions.

Ling Jue sneered. "Chen Cang, since you insist on remaining stubbornly obstinate, do not blame me. Let us see who in your Sword God Mountain can stop me!"

Boom!

The crimson saber light bypassed Chen Cang and slashed directly toward the Sword God Mountain disciples.

"Ling Jue!"

Chen Cang was beside himself with rage.

Boom!

"Block it!"

The Great Elder had returned. Joining forces with the other elders, he blocked the saber light.

"All Sword God Mountain disciples, leave the Sword Testing Platform!"

the Great Elder ordered.

"Heh, a pack of trash. Let us see how many strikes you can withstand from this old man!"

Ling Jue laughed coldly.

He raised a hand and slashed his saber at the elders.

The Great Elder and the others wore aggrieved expressions, feeling only that they were far too weak. Even together, they could barely withstand Ling Jue!

Ling Jue truly deserved his title of King of Zhen of the Yan Kingdom. His strength placed him among the foremost experts.

The Sword Demon held his sword, sword intent surging as he continuously pressured Chen Cang, keeping him from offering aid.

Screech!

Just then, an ice-cold azure sword light pierced forth.

With a single strike, it shattered Ling Jue's saber light.

A beautiful yet frosty figure emerged.

She looked indifferently at Ling Jue.

"You are looking for me? I, Ling Rushuang, am neither a member of the Ling Family of the Yan Kingdom nor a member of the Devil Palace. What right do you have to seek me?"

The moment Ling Rushuang appeared,

the Sword Demon's expression changed.

Emperor Sword Realm!

How was that possible!

How old was Ling Rushuang?

When she had been expelled from the Yan Kingdom Imperial Family, she had only been in the Mortal Realm.

Ling Jue looked at Ling Rushuang in shock, disbelief written all over his face.

"Emperor Sword Realm!"

And her strength was immense.

She was no ordinary Emperor Sword Realm cultivator!

No wonder Chen Cang had insisted on protecting her!

Ling Jue's expression shifted again and again. With Ling Rushuang's talent and strength, making her obediently comply would not be easy.

After a moment of stunned silence, Chen Cang burst into laughter.

Ling Rushuang had broken through!

Faster than expected!

It was good that she had broken through!

The Great Elder and the others were all dumbstruck.

So the abandoned princess of the Yan Kingdom truly was on Sword God Mountain!

And her talent and strength were so formidable!

Bai Shaokong, who had retreated into the distance, muttered, "So Senior Sister is Ling Rushuang. No wonder she had been so mysterious, hiding away and refusing to meet outsiders!"

Chen Cang moved and arrived beside Ling Rushuang.

He raised his hand and handed Ling Rushuang a small jade Sword Seal. "From today onward, Ling Rushuang shall be the Sword Master of Sword God Mountain!"

Ling Rushuang froze. "Master, you..."

"Your master is old. It is time to pass down the position of Sword Master!"

Chen Cang sighed.

Ling Rushuang accepted the Sword Master Seal.

"Greetings, Sword Master!"

After their initial shock, the Great Elder and the others all bowed.

The Sword God Mountain disciples also bowed one after another!

The newly appointed Sword Master was already in the Emperor Sword Realm at such a young age!

There was hope for Sword God Mountain's rise!

It was as though Chen Cang had suddenly cast off a crushing burden. His gaze became even sharper.

Looking at the Sword Demon and Ling Jue, he said coldly, "There is no one here you seek. Leave!"

Ling Jue and the Sword Demon exchanged a glance. If Ling Rushuang had merely been a Sword God Mountain disciple, they could have forced Chen Cang to hand her over.

Now, Ling Rushuang was the Sword Master of Sword God Mountain!

Moreover, her talent was beyond imagination.

Her own strength was also formidable.

Taking Ling Rushuang away would no longer be so easy.

But!

Ling Rushuang was of tremendous importance. Neither the Yan Kingdom Imperial Family nor the Devil Palace would give up.

Ling Jue's face darkened. "Ling Shuang..."

"My name is Ling Rushuang, not Ling Shuang!"

Ling Rushuang interrupted him.

"Ling Shuang or Ling Rushuang, I hope you will come with us, whether for your own sake or for Sword God Mountain's!"

Ling Rushuang said coldly, "I am staying on Sword God Mountain. I am not going anywhere!"

"Then I am afraid you have no say in the matter!"

Ling Jue's gaze turned icy and sharp. His aura erupted, and his saber light became piercingly fierce.

"If you refuse to leave, Sword God Mountain may run with blood today!"

Several Emperor Realm experts who had come with Ling Jue spread out, preparing to strike.

"Is that so?"

Chen Cang sneered, his gaze vicious as he looked at the Sword Demon and Ling Jue.

"They all say that I, Chen Cang, am the last peak sword cultivator of Sword God Mountain. They all think Sword God Mountain has declined and can be bullied at will?"

Boom!

Sword light shot into the heavens.

Sword intent soared into the sky!

At this moment, Chen Cang's white hair billowed. Emperor Sword in hand, terrifying killing intent surged in every direction.

"I would like to see how you, Sword Demon and Ling Jue, will make Sword God Mountain run with blood!"

The expressions of the Sword Demon and Ling Jue changed. Apprehension flashed through their eyes as they stared at Chen Cang in shock.

At this moment, Chen Cang seemed like a true sword cultivator, unmatched in slaughter!

"Today, this old man will cut down your so-called Number One Sword Under Heaven and that damn King of Zhen!"

Chen Cang made his move.

With one sword strike, sword intent surged from every direction and slaughtered its way toward the Sword Demon and Ling Jue!
