Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 334 Nine-Turned Wedding Gown
Zhang Yuanqiao's robes fluttered, making him appear like a celestial being.

The old constable opposite him was unremarkable, just like any other old man in the yamen who was just loafing around waiting to die.

Although Zhang Yuanqiao was famous throughout the land, he was respectful at this moment because this old constable was a generation above him and had been friends with his master, Feng Laozu, back then.

The old constable said calmly, "You can make your move now."

Zhang Yuanqiao sighed slightly and said, "From this day forward, there will be no more Sword God Hu Qingdi in the world."

The old constable chuckled and said, "Back then, when I went up Songyang Mountain, you killed me, and that would have been the end of it. Why do I have to come back again?"

Zhang Yuanqiao said, "In the end, it will damage the reputation of the Sword God."

The old constable scoffed and said, "What a load of rubbish!"

"Make your move!"

Zhang Yuanqiao used the Wind Riding Technique, floating lightly into the air. His whole body seemed to transform into the sun, bursting with intense light. In just an instant, it was as if hundreds of hands were striking down from the sky.

A sword beam, pale gold in color, barely a foot and two or three inches long, was indestructible and shattered the countless palm shadows in an instant.

When the two grandmasters made their move, their power was as vast as mountains and as boundless as the sea, like the collision of heaven and earth!

The place where Zhang Yuanqiao dueled the old constable was Mount Emei. Not long after the battle began, it alarmed Abbess Tulong of Mount Emei. Just then, the master of Wuxiang Sword Pavilion came to visit. The two masters rushed over together, but seeing the scene, neither dared to step forward.

This great battle lasted for a day and two nights, and more than ten gangs and hundreds of martial arts masters in the vicinity witnessed it.

Although no one dared to approach the battle, almost everyone recognized who the two grandmasters fighting were. After all, Zhang Yuanqiao's signature Three Yang Qianyan Divine Skill and Sword God Hu Qingdi's Hunyuan Sword Qi were both world-renowned.

When the battle came to an end and there was no further movement, the Dragon-Slaying Master and the Master of the Formless Sword Pavilion mustered their courage and used their lightness skills to rush over, only to find Zhang Yuanqiao alone.

Having met Zhang Yuanqiao a few times, Abbess Tulong couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhang, did you fight the Sword God?"

Zhang Yuanqiao said calmly, "Senior Hu knows his time is near and asked me to see him off."

"Under my Three Yang Qian Yan Divine Skill, this senior's body was reduced to ashes, and there will be no more Sword God in this world."

After saying this, Zhang Yuanqiao drifted away. Even though Master Tulong and Director Wuxiang Sword Pavilion were the most renowned masters of their time, they dared not obstruct him in the slightest.

After a day and two nights of fierce fighting on Mount Emei, Zhang Yuanqiao killed the Sword God Hu Qingdi!

The news of the martial arts competition spread like wildfire, and within ten days it became known throughout the land.

Zhang Yuanqiao did not leave Mount Emei, but instead wandered to the back of the mountain, circled around, and found a cave.

As he entered the cave, he saw a naked old man with his legs crossed, but not sitting on the ground; instead, he was practicing handstand exercises with his elbows on the ground.

Zhang Yuanqiao casually picked up a jar of fine wine, broke the mud seal, and waited quietly for the old man to circulate his internal energy.

The old man's muscles moved about as if they were alive, and his facial features flew around wildly, making him look like a monster.

Zhang Yuanqiao was not surprised at all. After waiting patiently for several days, the old man's loose skin regained its luster and smoothness, his eyes became bright and piercing, his gray hair turned black, and his face became young and handsome. He had actually rejuvenated and become a young man in his twenties.

Zhang Yuanqiao couldn't help but pat the wine jar, saying, "Senior Hu's Nine Revolutions Wedding Dress Divine Skill has actually been cultivated to the point of rejuvenation; it's truly astonishing." The "young man" leisurely took a jar of wine, smashed it, and let the wine pour over his head. He took a cloth and wiped his entire body clean before changing into a brand new set of clothes, donning a newly forged longsword, and saying calmly, "My surname is Wu."

Zhang Yuanqiao clapped his hands and laughed, "Young friend Wu! Where do you wish to go from here on out?"

The "young man," who identified himself as surnamed Wu, said, "I need a background."

Zhang Yuanqiao said, "How about my third apprentice?"

The young man surnamed Wu pondered for a moment and then said, "My martial arts?"

Zhang Yuanqiao laughed and said, "Naturally, it's my own creation!"

The young man laughed heartily and said, "Master Yuanqiao, my name is Wu Huiming, and my martial art is the Lingxiao Sword Manual, which you recently created!"

"Please don't forget."

"Don't introduce me to others in a way that differs from what I said as my disciple, or it will embarrass the entire sect."

Zhang Yuanqiao laughed and said, "Absolutely not."

The two exchanged a smile, and suddenly they both channeled their inner energy, crashing into the stone wall of the cave. The two powerful and domineering internal forces instantly caused the entire cave to collapse.

Two figures flew out of the cave, and then the cave collapsed with a deafening roar, and no one could ever see what was inside again.

Zhang Yuanqiao and "Wu Huiming" went their separate ways and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Sun Yanwan rarely returned to Black Dragon City, and every day was filled with endless government affairs to handle.

Sun Yanwan is a modern man and has little interest in building city walls. In particular, he has defined Black Dragon City as a commercial center and a freight hub. Therefore, the defense of Black Dragon City is mainly based on towers and bunkers. He has developed the surrounding land to the fullest extent, with roads leading in all directions and huge inns and freight yards everywhere.

Black Dragon City has now expanded more than tenfold, with a population easily exceeding 100,000. Its scale is even comparable to that of Golden Sable City, a famous large city in Northern Yan. However, it lacks the historical foundation and looks more like a large territory made up of countless villages.

After a few busy days, he handed the matter over to Lu Shuangfeng, Wu Zhi, Qin Cheng, Duanmu Xianling, and Lu Chaoxiu!
Yes, he found that Lu Chaoxiu, the most talented woman in the world, truly lived up to her reputation and was extremely gifted in managing government affairs.

He took a break and spent his days strolling around Black Dragon City with Shi Si, becoming increasingly satisfied with the city that he had almost "personally" built.

Sun Yanwan climbed onto a stone platform, gazed at the fleet in the distance, and couldn't help but ask, "Master Aunt, will Black Dragon City become the number one city in the world?"

Shi Si followed her onto the stone platform and casually remarked, "Even if it becomes the largest city in the world, so what?"

Sun Yanwan chuckled and said, "Black Dragon City is backed by majestic mountains, overlooks the blue sea, connects to Da Lang, and leads to Bei Yan! As long as we work hard enough, this place is enough to support hundreds of thousands of people. Decades or centuries from now, when people talk about Black Dragon City, they will mention that it was built by the Sun couple through hardship and overcoming obstacles, one step at a time."

Shi Si was slightly moved, and after a long while, she said, "By then, we were all gone! It's too noisy to be talked about while we're still in the underworld."

Sun Yanwan laughed and said, "Even without those people, when our grandchildren come to pay their respects, how can they not chatter on and on about various things? They'll be disturbed no matter what."

The two hadn't actually been together for very long, but when they talked about these topics, they suddenly felt like an old married couple.

Sun Yanwan said in a low voice, "Now that we're both Grandmasters, it's time to find a good day and get married."
