Chapter 2440: Chapter 82: What Is... Arrogance? (Part 2)

Sikong Jingxiao couldn’t determine if it was a coincidence or foresight.

But the opponent was already close, and the opponent’s spiritual field had already descended, a fact he had to face right now.

Then, suddenly, a sword hum came from the position of his heart.

His body seemed to turn into a shattered porcelain, teetering on the edge of destruction and existence, countless sword lights shot outward from within him.

In that instant, he seemed to become a sun condensed of sword light.

Spiritual sense entangled with Sword Qi, and his Heartless Sword Realm unfolded in an instant!

He tapped the tip of his toe, grasped the Scarlet Talisman Sword, advancing instead of retreating, facing Jiang Wang!

In the space of a single step, engaging in a life-and-death duel with swordsmanship, what did he have to fear?

But at this moment, Jiang Wang’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

He was like an arrow released from a bowstring, yet absurdly stopped in mid-air.

Meanwhile, the entire fire domain mercilessly crushed towards Sikong Jingxiao.

Field collided with Field.

The fire domain overwhelmed the Heartless Sword Realm!

Jiang Wang wouldn’t let go of the advantage gained from the victory on the Spiritual Soul Level.

Why did he, upon returning to his true self, immediately unfold his spiritual field to counterattack?

If Sikong Jingxiao didn’t activate his field, Jiang Wang gained a natural huge advantage.

Once Sikong Jingxiao’s field was activated, Jiang Wang directly collided field against field. Spiritual sense first attacks in the Primordial God Sea, then in the present world, leaving Sikong Jingxiao with no way to avoid it.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, the fire domain wouldn’t be able to overpower the Heartless Sword Realm by much, even though Jiang Wang’s spiritual sense is strong, Sikong Jingxiao’s foundation was deep.

But with the premise of an already injured spirit, Sikong Jingxiao could not support the Heartless Sword Realm adequately!

The damaged spiritual sense was like an injured leg to him.

And Jiang Wang stamped directly on that injured leg!

Pfft!

Sikong Jingxiao spat blood again, yet stood firmly, refusing to retreat.

Spiritual interference with the present world is required for a Field to materialize.

The collision of two fields involves the Path of Tao, standards, and the essence of spiritual sense. Usually, the process of two fields clashing is slow.

It is fought inch by inch. Otherwise, even for the stronger field, it’s easy to get trapped in the opponent’s carefully constructed field.

Much like two armies clashing, both sides must be cautious.

But with Jiang Wang already having the absolute spiritual sense advantage, he directly deploys an all-out attack. Sikong Jingxiao simply had no time to avoid it.

In this collision without any finesse, Sikong Jingxiao’s Heartless Sword Realm was directly crushed! His spiritual sense was wounded once more, now he was somewhat dizzy, even seeing afterimages!

No! How could it be like this?

Sikong Jingxiao roared in his heart.

A silent crack opened in his heart, an ancient aura erupted forth.

That was his most relied-upon divine skill, which had been completed and blossomed, and he intended to seize life from death with it!

Boom!

But his entire body curled like a shrimp in mid-air, divine power light swirling around.

Yet it was Jiang Wang’s merciless kick, right in his chest, that with the Heavenly Governance Body, and five wheels of divine power light, forcibly shattered his divine power light, preventing his divine power from exploding forth!

"Die!" Sikong Jingxiao’s eyes were already dazed, his divine power light scattered once again, intense pain making it impossible to grasp his true self, yet he still pointed forward with all his might!

The terrifying heavenly light formed by the Heartless Heaven Sword Technique suddenly plummeted from the high heavens!

This was such a fierce, powerful sword move.

It was Sikong Jingxiao’s terrifying struggle with all his remaining strength.

But in the view of all the people present, Jiang Wang just calmly walked forward.

That heavenly sword light completely lost its aim, falling beside Jiang Wang, piercing into the mountain platform’s surface, leaving a small finger-sized, bottomless dark hole.

Not even a strand of hair was harmed.

Jiang Wang walked in large strides, appearing confident, strong, fearless, yet acting cautiously, reaching out from afar, while Sikong Jingxiao’s spiritual sense was in disarray and his form unstable, imposing Five Senses Hell, shutting down all his senses.

By this time, Sikong Jingxiao had already entered a hopeless state of ignorance and numbness.

He couldn’t grasp the trajectory of the heavenly sword light, couldn’t hear any sounds, nor capture Jiang Wang’s figure... but he could feel Jiang Wang closing in.

He persistently sought a chance to fight back, continuing to gather divine power light.

Boom!

It was again shattered by the boot condensed with Heavenly Governance Light.

"Die! Just die!"

He abandoned all protection over himself, summoning the remaining strength, once again triggering the setup he had buried in the skies at the battle’s outset—

It was supposed to be him strolling gracefully, calmly watching his opponent’s embarrassment under the Heartless Heavenly Sword Technique.

But now there was only the terrifying heavenly light losing accuracy time and time again, missing its mark.

Continuously being smashed by the Divine Power Light, the sword light constantly missed.

Retreating all the way, staggering along, refusing to fall.

He was unwilling!

He hadn’t even had the chance to fully display his swordsmanship, the true might of the Heartless Heavenly Sword Technique wasn’t fully revealed, his divine skills were not exhibited.

Yet losing a step at the spiritual soul level made the whole battle collapse like an avalanche!

Even though he knew he couldn’t hold on, he refused to give up.

Some Sword Pavilion disciples couldn’t help but cry as they watched this scene.

Perhaps it was a glimmer in the depths, or perhaps the heavens couldn’t bear Sikong Jingxiao’s effort, so they gave him a slim chance.

Finally, a Heavenly Sword light pinpointed its direction, straight towards Jiang Wang—

Clang!

The line between heaven and earth opened. A horizontal line dividing life and death, ending grudges.

It was Jiang Wang’s One Line Sky!

This Heavenly Sword light was blocked by Longing!

This was the Human Dao Sword Style, and after evolving multiple times, it gained a sharpness to sever cause and effect. Cutting through a mere sword light was no issue.

Too many times.

Sikong Jingxiao had released too many Heavenly Sword lights.

With Jiang Wang’s ability to perceive, judging its landing point now had no suspense.

This casual swing of the sword shattered Sikong Jingxiao’s last hope.

Many Sword Pavilion disciples couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

But Jiang Wang strode forward: "Kneel for me!"

He lifted his foot, sweeping directly at Sikong Jingxiao’s knees!

Be it the Sword Pavilion’s senior disciple or a seasoned godly cultivator, if he says to make you kneel, then he’ll fight until you kneel!

And at that moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

Sikong Jingxiao was moved back over ten meters, instantaneously distancing himself from Jiang Wang.

"You brat, don’t go too far!"

As this voice landed on the mountain platform plaza, it belonged to a person carrying a square conical hat, wearing black silk clothes, with an empty left sleeve swinging.

"Greetings to the Sword Master!"

The Sword Pavilion disciples on the mountain platform plaza bowed one after another.

To appear at such a time and save Sikong Jingxiao, of course, it was one of the Sword Pavilion’s five great Sword Masters, the Heartless Sword Master Tu Anli.

The most striking was his brow bone.

Like two perilous peaks protruding, giving a sharp sense ready to break out at any moment.

This made his eyes extremely oppressive.

At this moment, he stood before Sikong Jingxiao, eyes cold enough to kill.

This one was a True Man of the Age, and quite a powerful one at that. Crushing Jiang Wang now wouldn’t be too difficult.

But Jiang Wang glanced sideways at this person, and merely smiled: "Sending the young ones then the old, indeed a Sword Pavilion tradition! Dare to ask this Sword Master, if you are also repelled, should the Pavilion Master appear?"

"Marvelous, marvelous!" Xiang Qian, leaning against Bai Niu’s back, though still somewhat weak, clapped and praised: "What a Sword Pavilion, coming one after another, truly inexhaustible! The Inner Mansion comes to fight godly cultivators, godly cultivators come to fight true men, the boundless heavenly gate, reveals its meaning!"

Tu Anli’s brow furrowed, killing intent erupted instantly, pressing Bai Niu to kowtow on all fours: "Presumptuous!"

"Presumptuous yourself!" Jiang Wang thrust his finger at Tu Anli’s face impolitely and said, "A mere old sect, trapped on a barren mountain, bound to be abandoned by the world! Dare to provoke Hegemony Country’s fury?!"

"I’m asking you questions with respect, but if you disrespect, I’ll lead an army down upon the mountain!"

At this moment, the kneeling Bai Niu’s eyes were full of fear, Xiang Qian had already rolled off in distress. Bai Yuxia’s face was mournful, Chu Yao’s gaze was fearful.

Only Jiang Wang.

Not only did he not retreat, but he strode forward, as if he were wielding his sword, aiming at the opponent’s heart.

Directly confronting the Heartless Sword Master Tu Anli: "I am Marquis Wu’an of the Great Qi Empire, ruling over three thousand households, come under the order of the Qintian Monitor Supervisor Ruan Qian to challenge the mountain and ask for the sword! Lend you some guts! Try touching Marquis now?!"

The entire mountain platform plaza was momentarily speechless.

Bai Clan’s descendant Bai Yuxia, though quite broad-minded and well-informed, was dumbfounded watching the scene.

Jiang Qingyang, once crowned at Guanhe Platform, pointing fingers at True Man of the Age, yelling furiously today.

What is dominance?

What is arrogance!?
