Chapter 447 Sword Saint Defeats Xiong Ba in Three Moves

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At present, the World Society can be said to have gathered all its heroes.

These people were invited not only to attend You Ruo and Ying Xun's wedding, but also to witness the battle between Xiong Ba and the Sword Saint.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they were invited by the World Society; they may not necessarily help Xiong Ba.

Whom we will help depends on the outcome of their battle.

If Xiong Ba wins, then there's no question; they will definitely side with the World Society and take action against Wushuang City.

If the Sword Saint wins, they will definitely not hesitate to raise the banner of rebellion against the oppression of the World Society and launch a joint attack on Xiong Ba.

After all, Xiong Ba and the World Society were far too domineering. If one could kill Xiong Ba and destroy the World Society, who wouldn't want to be the master of their own destiny?
Of course, a lose-lose situation is probably the outcome they most want to see.

This way, the power of the World Alliance and the Peerless City can be divided up.

However, to everyone's surprise, an hour had passed since the Sword Saint and Xiong Ba agreed to have their final battle, and the Sword Saint still hadn't shown up.

The First Building Under Heaven, or more accurately, the entire headquarters of the World Society, was ablaze with festive cheer.

As the master of ceremonies at the wedding, Wen Chou Chou looked up at Xiong Ba, who was seated at the head of the table, and saw him nod. He then loudly chanted: "The auspicious time has arrived. Incense smoke rises and candles shine. The bride and groom ascend the flower hall together."

Amidst the festive sounds of fireworks and a shower of flower petals, Ying Xun and You Ruo, dressed in wedding attire, stepped into the No. 1 Restaurant Under Heaven.

After the wedding ceremony was completed, everyone stood up to offer their congratulations.

"Congratulations, Chief Xiong, on the acquisition of your wonderful son-in-law."

"Chief Xiong, the time for the final battle has passed, and the Sword Saint has not yet arrived. You have won this battle. Congratulations, Chief Xiong."

"Our leader is wise and virtuous, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and by the mandate of Heaven, he will unify the world..."

It's just flattery; take it with a grain of salt. Only a fool would believe it.

But undeniably, these flatteries did make Xiong Ba very happy.

He waved his hand, stood up, gazed at the gate, and laughed arrogantly: "Sword Saint, Sword Saint, I have invited heroes from all over the world to witness our battle, yet you dare not even come? This battle..."

Before he could finish speaking, a burst of laughter rang out, so loud it seemed to pierce through gold and split rocks, causing many people to cover their ears.

"Xiongba, I've arrived!"

As the Sword Saint's voice rang out, the once clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, and sharp sword energy surged into the Number One Pavilion under Heaven like a tidal wave.

Except for a very few people, everyone dared not move, because they felt as if a sword was held to their necks, as if the slightest movement would result in them being cut to pieces by the sword energy.

At the same time, all the swords in the entire First Floor began to vibrate uncontrollably.

Then, they were all unsheathed and plunged straight into the floor of the No. 1 Building Under Heaven, as if welcoming the upcoming Emperor of Swords.

The Ode to the Sword says: "The sword, a metaphysical art, is unparalleled throughout history; all swords revere it, worshipping it as a god!"

It seems that kid wasn't lying to me after all; the Sword Saint has indeed reached the Heavenly Sword Realm.

Just as Xiong Ba was thinking this, the Sword Saint had already arrived gracefully and stood outside the gate of the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven.

He seemed to be filled with a persistent, sharp chill, so cold that it sent shivers down one's spine. He was like a drawn sword, as if he could slice through all living things at any moment.

The Sword Saint stepped through the door, looked at Ying Xun and You Ruo dressed in wedding attire, and laughed heartily, "Young Ying, young You Ruo, I waited for a while on purpose. I didn't disturb your wedding, did I?"

Ying Xun shook his head: "We just finished the wedding ceremony."

You Ruo then gave a slight curtsy and said with a smile, "Senior Sword Saint, today is our wedding day, you must have a drink with us."

"Of course, after I've finished fighting with your father, I'll naturally have to drink a cup of your wedding wine."

Among the various sects present, there were indeed some who genuinely pledged allegiance to the World Society, but the sword energy permeating the World's Number One Pavilion made them dare not make any rash moves.

The Sword Saint coldly swept his gaze across the crowd, finally fixing it on Xiong Ba, his eyes flashing like lightning and swords.

"Xiongba, for the sake of You Ruo, I will spare your life today."

"Insanity!"

Xiong Ba snorted coldly and raised his hand to deliver a palm strike.

The surging, overwhelming palm force poured down upon the Sword Saint like a tidal wave, its power terrifying beyond compare.

But the Sword Saint remained unaffected, like a towering mountain, his expression calm and composed, even a faint smile appearing on his face.

With just a flick of his sleeve, that domineering and unparalleled palm force dissipated into the world, as if it had never existed.

"Xiong Ba, you are no match for me."

As the Sword Saint spoke, the countless sword energies that filled the World's Number One Pavilion surged toward Xiong Ba, but they were immediately blocked by an invisible wall of energy as soon as they got within three feet of him.

This is precisely the Three-Part Returning Qi of Xiong Ba.

The three elements circulate, naturally transforming and endlessly regenerating!

"Hmm? Interesting!"

Sword Saint raised his eyebrows slightly, and with another flick of his sleeve, his sword energy erupted, surging towards Xiong Ba like a tidal wave, cutting through gold and jade!
This seemingly simple swing actually integrates thousands of sword techniques into one strike, and its profound mystery has clearly transcended the realm of words.

The incomparably sharp sword energy struck Xiong Ba once again.

As the sword light passed, everyone present felt enveloped by the sword energy, and a bone-chilling cold swept over them, not to mention Xiong Ba, who was facing this sword directly.

At this moment, Xiong Ba could only defend, first consuming some of the sword energy before launching a counterattack.

"Is my father... going to lose?"

“Defeat is inevitable, but the old Sword Saint thinks he can defeat him with just two sword strikes?” Ying Xun shook his head: “Impossible. Without using their ultimate moves, they still have a chance to fight.”

Upon hearing this, the Sword Saint looked displeased.

"Hmph, brat, watch closely, I'll defeat him in three moves!"

After saying that, the Sword Saint pointed his fingers into a sword, and his whole body transformed into a sword, stabbing towards Xiong Ba.

This sword seemed to have been thrust out from the void, its speed so fast it seemed to transcend time and space. Before anyone could even realize it, it had already crashed into the wall of energy formed by the Three-Part Returning Origin Qi.

After a stalemate of about four or five breaths, the barrier of energy shattered with a deafening roar, and Xiong Ba couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the sword saint's fingertip stopped on his brow. Although he did not stab, the sword energy still left a bloodstain between his brows.

The Sword Saint withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Xiong Ba, you have lost."

"I lost."

Xiong Ba looked dejected and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. His aura weakened, and just as he was about to collapse into the chair, Qin Shuang quickly caught him.

"Master, are you okay?"

"It's nothing." Xiong Ba shook his head, steadied himself, looked at the Sword Saint, and asked, "What kind of swordsmanship is that?"

"Lingxu Sword Technique".

This move was created by the Sword Saint by combining the Void Sword Technique and the Holy Spirit Sword Technique passed down to him by Ying Xun, so he took one character from each of the two sword techniques.

Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out from the crowd.

"Xiong Ba is already seriously injured. Everyone, attack together and kill him!"

A flash of red light appeared, and a figure in white robes, wielding a blood-red longsword, leaped high into the air and thrust it straight at Xiong Ba.

Although this person wore a human skin mask, neither the Fire Kirin Sword, nor his aura, nor his swordsmanship could be concealed.

"Duan Lang!" Qin Shuang roared and met Duan Lang head-on.

It has to be said that Duan Lang has put in a lot of hard work recently, but as soon as they made contact, he cleaved Qin Shuang away with a single sword strike.

Ying Xun flashed forward, supporting Qin Shuang with one hand and throwing a punch with the other, sending Duan Lang flying backward and crashing heavily onto the front door.

At that moment, another figure in white appeared, leaping over.

"Today is my wedding day, such a joyous occasion, but why are all the guests dressed in white? It's bad luck."

Hearing Ying Xun's muttered complaint, Qin Shuang couldn't help but laugh and remind him, "Brother Ying, this man has an extraordinary aura; I'm afraid his martial arts skills are not low."

"The nameless disciple's martial arts skills are naturally quite good."

As he spoke, Jian Chen stood still, clasped his sword, and bowed.

"Junior Jian Chen greets Chief Xiong."

"Hero's Sword!"

Xiong Ba's gaze swept over the Hero Sword in Jian Chen's hand, and his expression changed: "How did the Hero Sword end up in your hands? Who is Wuming to you?"

“The nameless one is my teacher.”

Xiong Ba understood and asked, "What brings you here?"

"Chief Xiong, I came here on the orders of my master to witness the battle between Senior Sword Saint and Chief Xiong. However, it seems that Chief Xiong and Senior Sword Saint have already fought."

Xiong Ba was naturally suspicious and disbelieved it.

"Just observing the ceremony?"

Of course, it wasn't just to watch the duel between the two, but also because Wuming was worried that the Sword Saint would kill Xiong Ba.

Although the Sword Saint had told him that he wouldn't kill Xiong Ba, what if he did?
Once Xiong Ba dies, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the martial arts world, which is why Wuming sent Jian Chen on this trip.

But the two have already fought, and Xiong Ba is not dead, so there's no need to go into the details.

"In addition, I have another request: I hope that Chief Xiong can coexist peacefully with Wushuang City."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Saint said unhappily, "I will discuss this matter with Xiong Ba myself. There is no need for you to say anything more."

Jian Chen clasped his hands in a salute, and really didn't say anything more, nor could he say anything more.

A cold snort rang out from outside the No. 1 Building Under Heaven.

"Hmph, bullying a junior because of the crowd, they've made a laughingstock of themselves!"

As these words rang out, Bu Jingyun strode into the Number One Building Under Heaven.

"Junior Brother Yun."

"Bu Jingyun!"

Qin Shuang and Xiong Ba spoke at the same time, but their tones were completely different.

Qin Shuang felt a mixture of surprise and complexity, while Xiong Ba was filled with murderous intent.

Earlier, Xiong Ba fought Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng outside Jiaozhou City, but he did not gain any advantage over them. Instead, he was seriously injured and has not yet fully recovered. Otherwise, even if he lost today, he would not have lost so badly.

In short, the conflict between Xiong Ba and Feng Yun had escalated to a point of no return, and he naturally wished he could kill Bu Jingyun.

"Xiongba, you slaughtered my adoptive father's entire family and killed Kong Ci. Today is the day you pay with your life! Give me your life!"

As soon as Bu Jingyun finished speaking, he was about to draw his sword and fight when, unfortunately, Yu Chuchu's voice came from outside the door.

"Brother Bu."

This shout made Bu Jingyun turn around, giving Xiong Ba an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Then, Bu Jingyun was severely injured and fell to the ground by Xiong Ba's Three-Part Return to Origin Qi.

Just as Xiong Ba was about to strike hard, Jian Chen stepped forward.

"Master Xiong".

Xiong Ba paused in his actions, and Jian Chen said in a deep voice, "Please, for the sake of my master, let them go."

"Today is the joyous day of my wedding with You Ruo. It would be too unlucky for a dead person to be here."

Upon hearing this, Jian Chen first offered his congratulations before continuing to say to Xiong Ba, "Chief Xiong, my master asked me to offer a piece of advice: 'One should not push things too far. If one goes too far in everything, the relationship will end sooner.'"

Xiong Ba took two deep breaths to calm himself down: "Good, good, well said. If you go too far in everything, the relationship will inevitably end sooner. Today, I will let them go for Wuming's sake. Let's go!"

"Thank you very much, Chief Xiong."

Jian Chen thanked him and was about to leave with Bu Jingyun, but Bu Jingyun showed no intention of leaving.

Because he could sense that Xiong Ba was at his limit, and now was the best time to kill him.

Ying Xun glanced back at Xiong Ba, then at Bu Jingyun, and finally fixed his gaze on Yu Chuchu.

"Miss Yu."

Yu Chuchu's heart was completely focused on Bu Jingyun, so she was surprised to suddenly hear someone calling her name.

"Young Master Ying?"

Ying Xun nodded: "It seems you didn't take my words to heart. I think Bu Jingyun must have told you to stay down the mountain before he came up, but you obviously didn't listen to him. Look, isn't Bu Jingyun injured because of you?"

"This……"

"Your fate with Bu Jingyun is ordained by heaven. It's fine for you to follow him, but sometimes you need to be obedient. There's a slight flaw in your relationship. If you want to avoid it, you'd better take my words to heart. For your father's sake, I'll remind you one last time—listen to people and you'll have a full stomach."

Hearing Ying Xun say that her relationship with Bu Jingyun was destined by heaven, Yu Chuchu was overjoyed and nodded emphatically: "Thank you, Young Master Ying. I will definitely keep this in mind."

As for Bu Jingyun, his face hardened: "Ying Xun, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you'll find out in time." Ying Xun smiled leisurely, then said seriously, "Bu Jingyun, today is my wedding day with You Ruo, so you should understand that I cannot allow any deaths to happen. If you'd like to stay and have a drink at the wedding, you're welcome. If you don't want to drink, then goodbye!"

Bu Jingyun hesitated for a moment, then looked deeply at Xiong Ba above him and said in a deep voice, "Chu Chu, let's go!"

"Young Master Ying, we'll be taking our leave now. We wish you and Miss Youruo a long and happy marriage, and many children."

After saying that, Yu Chuchu helped Bu Jingyun leave the World's Number One Restaurant.

Perhaps worried that Xiong Ba might secretly send someone to attack Bu Jingyun, Jian Chen clasped his hands in greeting to Ying Xun, You Ruo, as well as Jian Sheng and Xiong Ba, and then hurriedly followed.

As for Duan Lang, who had been injured by Ying Xun earlier, he had already secretly slipped away when Bu Jingyun appeared.

Ying Xun glanced around and greeted everyone with a smile, "Well, today is my wedding day with You Ruo. Everyone, please enjoy yourselves. Qin Shuang, you entertain the Sword Saint while I heal my father-in-law's injuries."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire No. 1 Restaurant under heaven became celebratory again, as if nothing had just happened.

Ying Xun then flashed in front of Xiong Ba and helped him exercise to heal his injuries.

As a daughter, You Ruo naturally couldn't help but care about Xiong Ba, so she went to Ying Xun's side and asked, "Father... is he alright?"

"It's nothing serious, the injuries are minor, it's just the poison that's causing a bit of trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, another unexpected turn of events occurred.

A young man collapsed without warning, and his fall triggered a chain reaction, causing others to stumble and fall to the ground.

"Hahaha……"

A burst of extremely smug laughter rang out, and an old woman slowly emerged from the shadows.
