Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 503 A Love That Could Topple a City
As dusk deepened, the setting sun, like blood, dyed the river with a desolate, shimmering light.

Under the dim sky, Wu Tianxia stood on the small boat, looking at the sword opposite him. He was dressed in white and looked like the moon emerging from the clouds, adding a touch of brightness to the dark world.

Ren Shaoyang looked him up and down and smiled, "You're Wu Wudi's nephew?"

"I am but an unknown nobody," Wu Tianxia said. "I never expected to be known by the Sword God, who is famous throughout the martial world."

Ren Shaoyang said, "The title of Sword God is merely an honor bestowed upon me by my friends in the martial world." He casually put his hands behind his back, "Even now, when I think about the old Sword Saint's 'Sword Twenty-Three,' I still feel that it is not something to be easily defeated. What is there to mention?"

"Sword Twenty-Three is the strongest sword move I've ever seen among all the peerless martial arts!" Wu Tian lowered his "Heavenly Fate Blade" and asked, "Sword God, would you like to see this move again?"

"What?" Wuming's expression changed. "You've seen 'Sword Twenty-Three'?" He glanced at the bald man in front of him. "When Sword Saint Dugu drew his sword, you were just a child. How could you have seen him?"

Knowing he had no way to explain himself, Wu Tianxia simply smiled and said, "It's difficult for me to explain this clearly to Senior Wuming."

Wuming said, "Everything has a cause and effect, how can it not be explained?" Then, he suddenly smiled, "Shaoyang said that since it can't be explained, let's finish the fight and talk about it later!"

Wu Tianxia fell silent for a moment, looking at the middle-aged man opposite him with suspicion, thinking: "Everyone says that Wuming is peaceful and kind-hearted, how could he be so reckless? Seeing is believing."

Ren Shaoyang laughed, "The words may be crude, but the principle is sound." He looked at Wu Tianxia, ​​"You came to see me so that I could witness 'Sword Twenty-Three'?"

Wu Tianxia said, "Forgive my abruptness, but I have a request."

Ren Shaoyang said, "Oh?"

Wu Tianxia's eyes flashed as he said, "I have practiced martial arts for many years, but I have never drawn my sword! Today, I hope to represent the Wu family and challenge you, a master, once again!"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "Oh? Here to settle scores?"

Wu Tianxia said, "Although my uncle died at the hands of the Sword God, he achieved what he sought, which is truly the best ending for a martial artist. You broke the curse of the Wu family with the 'Harmonious Law of Heaven,' which is an even greater favor to my Wu family. I am too grateful to even think about it, so how could I be here to settle scores?"

Ren Shaoyang said, "So, you just came here looking for a beating?"

Wu Tianxia laughed, "The Sword God's martial arts are unparalleled. If he were to strike with his sword, this kid would surely die." With that, he held his sword horizontally across his chest, "But if you want to see Sword Twenty-Three, you'll have to clash with the 'Heavenly Fate Blade'!"

"Interesting, interesting!"

Ren Shaoyang clapped his hands and laughed, "The knife in your hand seems quite excited."

Wu Tianxia said, "I am a hundred miles away, and the Heavenly Destiny Blade is already eager to try it out."

“Alright, I’m already very interested in the knife in your hand.” Ren Shaoyang stood with his hands behind his back. “Make your move.”

Wu Tianxia nodded, then suddenly frowned: "The Sword God isn't going to use Dragon Capture?"

"No." Ren Shaoyang shook his head repeatedly.

Wu Tianxia asked, "Why is that?" He held up his sword and explained, "The Heavenly Destiny Blade is the Great Evil King's nemesis. Its family's 'Peerless Blade Technique' is incredibly powerful. Even the Sword God isn't interested?"

“That’s still not enough.” Ren Shaoyang shook his head again. “You can’t handle it.”

"Sword God, you underestimate me!" Wu Tianxia said, slightly annoyed. "You'd better be careful not to get hurt!"

Ren Shaoyang said, "If you can hurt me, you can roam the world freely."

Wu Tianxia gave the man in white a deep look and shouted, "Be careful!"

A flash of light, and the blade slashed toward his left rib. The strike was incredibly fast and fierce, arriving in an instant.

Ren Shaoyang smiled faintly, "Hmm, very exquisite swordsmanship!" His clothes fluttered slightly, and his figure rose from the ground into the air, silently drifting backward.

Before him, the light of blades surged like waves, dust billowed into the sky, and branches and leaves flew in all directions.

The two retreated several feet in an instant. Wu Tianxia watched as his opponent drifted away with the wind, unable to force him to make a move.

He immediately shifted his body, the tip of the knife neither too close nor too far, pointing directly at the opponent's weakness.

"Take action!"

Upon seeing this, Wuming was astonished: "Anyone in the world who wields a knife can only use a few techniques: slashing, chopping, splitting, and cutting. How can this person wield the knife with such dexterity, as if it were an extension of his arm?"

He glanced at it a few more times, his brows furrowing deeply: "This swordsmanship is upright and honorable, yet extremely vicious. This kind of skill, where man and object are one, surpasses any other technique in the world!"

Ren Shaoyang retreated several feet, but the blade light relentlessly pursued him, its aftertaste lingering. He smiled faintly and said, "Be careful." He pointed his fingers at the ground.

"brush!"

The green grass gathered in the wind and transformed into a dense bundle of grass swords.

Ren Shaoyang dodged the blade, and with a flick of his finger, the grass sword flew through the air with a "whoosh," pointing directly at Wu Tianxia's lower abdomen.

Seeing the sword thrust out, so solid and precise, without the slightest flaw, Wu Tianxia secretly applauded. He then swung his blade to slash at the sword's right wrist, surprisingly arriving first despite being attacked later.

Ren Shaoyang flicked his wrist to dodge the incoming blade, and at the same time, the grass sword that had been thrusting out flat suddenly curved and struck his right arm.

This sword strike was as swift as floating clouds and as agile as a startled dragon, displaying the utmost versatility.

The nameless man shouted in approval: "A divine move!"

In Go, there is a saying about the "divine move," which refers to a move made by a player at a crucial moment that turns the tide of the game and determines the outcome.

It was truly a move that defied death and brought forth a miraculous power.

Of course, there is also the opposite, namely "the Eagle's Hand".

Wu Tianxia also recognized the brilliance of this move, and immediately turned his blade to entangle the grass sword, followed by a sweeping motion. This movement was as fluid as flowing water, yet incredibly powerful, shattering the grass sword.

Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, Wu Tianxia stabbed back with his sword.

Ren Shaoyang was instantly half-hidden by the opponent's blade, but he remained calm and flicked out a finger, seemingly deflecting the blade's tip.

hum!
The Heavenly Fate Blade twisted like a snake and vibrated like water, causing Wu Tianxia's wrist to go numb and his whole body to tremble.

Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly, his figure swayed, and he rushed in front of him. He pushed his palm forward, and an invisible shockwave, like a sharp sword piercing through Wu Tianxia's heart, went straight through his chest.

Wu Tianxia took a deep breath, gathering all his strength, and slashed diagonally with his sword. Clang!
The fingertip landed on the tip of the knife, and a series of chiming sounds spread out.

Wu Tianxia felt a tightness in his chest, all his strength completely drained, leaving him limp and powerless. He couldn't help but let out a soft groan, taking a step back and staring at the white-robed man with utter astonishment and doubt.

Ren Shaoyang stood rooted to the spot, lightly touching his fingertips, raising an eyebrow slightly: "This aura..." He looked up, his gaze sharp as lightning, "Is it the Nine Void Boundless Realm?"

Wu Tianxia trembled and said, "You guessed it?"

Ren Shaoyang said softly, "I found out at the beginning."

Wu Tianxia laughed loudly: "Sword God, please!" With that, he brought his sword forward.

Ren Shaoyang smiled without saying a word and gently placed his hand on the blade.

In an instant, a wondrous sight appeared!
It was as if a portal had been torn open in the void, and gusts of evil wind blew out, sounding like the wailing of ghosts and gods, leading straight to the netherworld.

“Unnamed senior, I can’t drink tonight.” Ren Shaoyang flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. “But you can leave me a chicken leg for that little chicken.”

Wuming shook his head and smiled: "Okay!"

The moment the words were spoken, the figure vanished.
-
Quiet.

It was unusually quiet.

It was so quiet that you could almost hear only one person's footsteps.

Suddenly, Ren Shaoyang appeared in mid-air, like a ghost from history, quietly watching what was happening below.

"Ah, this feels so familiar."

The man in white chuckled. He had previously used his cheat system to learn martial arts by observing past events in ghost form.

Now, entering the Nine Realms in his mental state, Ren Shaoyang not only felt no discomfort, but also felt like a fish in water, roaming freely.

Although the Nine Realms are wondrous, they cannot be viewed at will.

Firstly, this place is shrouded in boundless mist, making it impossible to distinguish east from west, north from south, and illusions abound. Only the intense emotions that erupt when powerful individuals clash will shine like a lighthouse in the sea, guiding people to find their way.

For example, right now, although Wu Tianxia used the "Heavenly Mandate Blade" as a key to lead Ren Shaoyang to this world, he has disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, the fog below dissipated.

Ren Shaoyang's eyes lit up as he saw a middle-aged man with extraordinary features appear before him.

He held a broadsword, which was entirely golden and perfectly formed. One side was engraved with the sun, moon and stars, while the other side was engraved with mountains, rivers and the common people.

A middle-aged man with a dragon's tail suddenly took off running. Soldiers and civilians roared and followed behind, their murderous aura soaring to the heavens, staining the sky crimson with blood.

Opposite him stood the enemy leader, a figure of immense stature, whose murderous aura soared to the heavens, causing the world to change color, like a demon god incarnate.

The demon god roared and raised his arm, wielding a strange sword with an amber blade and a tiger's spine as its hilt. He led his followers to meet the attack, slaughtering his way through the enemy ranks, and none could stand against him.

Soldiers clashed against soldiers, generals against generals, emperors fought demons, and even immortals and gods battled fiercely in the sky. This battle eclipsed the sun and moon, and the world lost its color. After several days and nights, the earth was stained red with blood.

Finally, the demon god was exhausted and had his head severed by a sword.

Ren Shaoyang nodded: "In the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor killed the warlord Chi You and established his rule in the Central Plains." He looked closely at the knife in Chi You's hand, his expression strange, "Wait, why is Chi You using 'Tiger Soul'?"

"Sigh, Old Ma still can't forget Old Huang."

The illusion continued to unfold, the Central Plains were unified, and time flew by; thirty years passed in a flash.

One day, a thunderous roar like a dragon's cry echoed from the Yellow River. A colossal beast, with a head and tail like a dragon, a body like a tortoise, and the size of a mountain, came crashing down on the riverside tribes with towering waves, causing widespread devastation.

The Yellow Emperor was furious and ordered his seventy-two generals to hunt down the dragon turtle.

After several months and more than a dozen battles with the dragon turtle, the seventy-two generals suffered heavy casualties before finally managing to severely damage it and drive it back into the Yellow River.

During this time, a short, stout general accidentally swallowed the blood of a dragon turtle and also fell headfirst into the river, disappearing without a trace.

Time flies, and the Yellow Emperor transformed into a rainbow in Lingyun Cave, leaving behind a piece of dragon bone. Over thousands of years, light and shadow have reappeared, King Wu of Zhou conquered King Zhou of Shang, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period occurred, and the King of Qin unified the six kingdoms and the world.

Xu Fu appeared before Ren Shaoyang, but Ren Shaoyang looked timid and talked with Qin Shi Huang about the elixir of immortality. Later, Xu Fu led his troops to besiege and kill Phoenix.

The phoenix fell, the elixir of immortality appeared, and Xu Fu disappeared without a trace.

Several years later, the First Emperor died, and the country descended into chaos.

Emperor Gaozu slew the white snake and established the dynasty. However, the world is bound to be united and divided, and in the blink of an eye, the era of the Three Kingdoms, where heroes vied for supremacy, arrived.

But then they saw a man dressed in strange armor and holding a divine sword, chatting happily with a man with a red face and a green robe.

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "Eastern Azure Dragon? That's the Holy King's treacherous ancestor?"

Suddenly, Guan Yu let out a mournful roar to the sky and slashed diagonally with his sword!

The sword flashed like a dragon, splitting the heavens and earth!
This strike is unprecedented and unparalleled in the world; there has never been anyone before or since.

One strike can destroy a city!

Although Ren Shaoyang disappeared into the void, he never expected that the swirling blade would rush straight towards him. He immediately flicked his wrist, drew his sword, and blocked it in front of him.

brush!
A gentle breeze seemed to sweep by, and the white-robed man felt a chill on his chest!
"I've been stabbed?"

Ren Shaoyang looked down and saw a long knife scar running from his left chest to his shoulder, slowly staining his white robe red.

"So this is... a love that could topple cities?" He looked at his wound and thought calmly, "Even time and space cannot stop it, it's incredibly powerful!"

In the blink of an eye, the knife marks disappeared, and the white robe was as white as new.

Watching the figure gradually blur, Ren Shaoyang's lips curled into a smile: "Is this... a free knife delivered to my throat?"
