All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 163 Having Moves vs. Having No Moves
"Young Master Tianji, I have long admired you."

Ye Gucheng's voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, drifting over slowly.

"Lord of Baiyun City,"

Wang Gan was somewhat surprised.

"I thought you were the kind of person who wouldn't get involved in these trivial matters."

Ye Gucheng would look down on such low-level schemes as Jin Jiuling's; others were ruthless people who planned to change the world and seize the throne.

"I used to think this world of martial arts was extremely boring, until... you appeared."

Ye Gucheng looked at Wang Gan with great interest.

With his swordsman's intuition, he could sense that the seemingly ordinary body opposite him contained a surging power like a volcano.

The disdain in the eyes of the person opposite him also made him turn his head.

If Ye Gucheng is like the king of swords, looking down upon the entire martial world, then Wang Gan is like an immortal playing in the mortal realm, with an arrogant attitude that treats all things equally.

And the source of this arrogance is his extraordinary martial arts skills!
"Your weapon ranking list is very interesting. I thought I was invincible in the martial arts world."

"You gave me a different answer."

A slight smile appeared on Ye Gucheng's lips.
"Lord Ye's Celestial Immortal has reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm. In terms of swordsmanship, no one can match him."

Wang Gan laughed.

Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship is indeed of a very high level. At least in Gu Long's novels, it is the only swordsmanship that has been described in great detail - 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens'!
This sword strike has reached the pinnacle of technique, a truly flawless sword move.

Even after his repeated evolutions, Ximen Chuixue believed that if the Battle of the Forbidden City were to happen again, he would most likely not be able to withstand Ye Gucheng's sword strike.

From this, it can be inferred that Ye Gucheng's martial arts and swordsmanship, apart from the elusive old man Wu Ming, have already reached the pinnacle of the martial arts world.

It was precisely because he was too invincible that Ye Gucheng felt extremely bored, and even planned to usurp the throne in order to find some amusement, which led to the story of the sword immortal's fall.

"You're right,"

Ye Gucheng's eyes suddenly shone with an eerie light, like two cold stars.

"But I'm also curious, can you or Wu Ming really withstand one of my sword strikes?"

Wang Gan's expression also calmed down, and he responded calmly.

"You can try it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the world fell silent, with only the faint sound of the wind.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized that his hands and feet had become extremely cold, and his teeth were chattering slightly.

It wasn't fear or chills, but excitement.

Both were highly skilled fighters whose abilities were beyond comprehension. One was ranked number one on the weapon ranking list and was unfathomable, while the other was ranked number three and was invincible with his sword.

From Lu Xiaofeng's perspective, he couldn't see anything unusual about this battle.

Both sides were highly skilled enough to easily kill him, and their resumes didn't reveal anything special.
Ye Gucheng had roamed the martial world for many years, and no one could withstand a single sword strike from him. However, the Heavenly Mystery Prince suddenly appeared and easily defeated two great masters, Huo Xiu and Dugu Yihe, upon his debut.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't come up with a solution. He was only thinking about one thing—this battle shouldn't have happened here. It was too ordinary and unremarkable.

Such an earth-shattering duel should take place on the summit of Tianshan Mountain, at the head of the Yellow River, or even atop the Forbidden City!
Keng!
Ye Gucheng already had his sword in hand, his gaze cold.

Clearly, this battle was inevitable.

"Where's your sword?"

Wang Gan smiled, extended his right palm, and gently clasped it together towards the sun in the sky.

"The sword is already in my hand."

Ye Gucheng was slightly moved.
“I thought that having no moves was your limit, but I didn’t expect you to have already entered the realm of ‘no sword’.”

"Without moves or swords. Countless swordsmen spend their entire lives and still can't even touch the slightest bit of it."

Wang Gan shook his head.

“How can I compare to Lord Ye? Lord Ye has moves and a sword, but he has long since transcended the concept of ‘self’.”

"I've long heard that 'Celestial Immortal' is a flawless sword, an unsolvable sword,"

"Please take a look!"

Ye Gucheng did not speak, but answered with his sword.

Without warning, without any disturbance,
A white streak shot across the sky, faster than the naked eye could see and beyond the reach of thought!

The sword technique was breathtakingly beautiful, descending from above rather than thrusting, like a clear blue sky over a vast ocean, or a startled swan in the heavens!
Wang Gan didn't even have time to appreciate the exquisite swordsmanship before he was enveloped by a chilling sword intent, which even caused the surrounding space to slightly distort. Wang Gan didn't move; his hand remained raised, and what moved was the invisible energy swirling within it!

Divine Sword Technique!
This is a peerless sword technique created by Yan Nantian after mastering the Wedding Dress Divine Skill and combining it with all his other skills.

This sword technique is based on the invincible true energy of the wedding dress, creating an invisible and intangible sword. It combines sword and energy to the extreme, achieving a balance of strength and gentleness, without any fixed moves or forms. It can shave your hair and beard face-to-face without you even noticing.

It can easily split the hardest jade in the world in two without any damage.

As Yan Nantian's son-in-law and brother, Wang Gan naturally learned this supreme and powerful sword technique from Yan Nantian.

If there is any sword technique in the world that can rival the celestial being's swordplay, it is only Yan Nantian's Divine Sword Technique.

If the Celestial Immortal has the ultimate form of technique, flawless and pure, then the Divine Sword Technique is the pinnacle of no technique, capable of breaking through all laws!

Keng!
Great sound and sound,

The deafening clang of swords clashing exploded in everyone's hearts, leaving their heads buzzing!
Not only the ears, but also the eyes were obscured by distorted light.

In the face of such intense confrontation, ripples spread everywhere, making it impossible to discern who won or lost.

After a while,

Ye Gucheng landed gracefully, his back to Wang Gan. A drop of blood slowly slid down the tip of his sword, startling everyone.

But that wasn't Wang Gan's blood; it was his own.

Faced with the ultimate power of the Divine Sword Technique, Ye Gucheng's tiger's mouth, which was gripping the sword, was violently shattered!

the other side,
Looking at his torn sleeve, Wang Gan exclaimed in sincere admiration,

"Azure sky and white clouds, flawless and immaculate, what a celestial being descending from heaven!"

Having cultivated the Yi Jin Jing and the Wedding Dress Divine Skill to unprecedented levels, Wang Gan's true energy had long since reached an unbelievable realm.

Indestructible, automatic rebound, and endless life are just the most basic operations. More advanced techniques such as "generating electricity from the void, generating thunder from stillness, and transforming form from gas" are not very difficult for Wang Gan.

But unexpectedly, Ye Gucheng's Heavenly Flying Immortal could actually break through his true qi defense and pierce his sleeve.

"But you still caught it."

Ye Gucheng's expression was not one of disappointment, but rather one of excitement—the excitement of seeing an evenly matched opponent.

"I caught it, but I still didn't win."

Wang Gan remained noncommittal.

In terms of swordsmanship, Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship was so superb that he had only seen such outstanding swordsmanship and sword intent in 'Tianshan Snow Eagle'. It was unlike any sword in the human world.

Ye Gucheng shook his head.

"You only failed because of your swordsmanship."

Ye Gucheng is stronger than Tianshan Xueyingzi because his energy and spirit are at their peak.
Of course, Wang Gan is no longer the unsatisfactory young A Gan of yesteryear, but the extraordinary and saintly Tianji Gongzi.

Ye Gucheng could tell that Wang Gan did not specialize in swordsmanship, and was not even good at it. If he used other martial arts, he would most likely be no match for him.

Seeing that Ye Gucheng had failed to win and showed no intention of making another move, Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not completely relax.

Because besides Ye Gucheng, there was also Jin Jiuling, and hundreds of fully armed elite soldiers around him.

"City Lord!"

As expected, Jin Jiuling's face was full of apprehension as he tried to persuade Ye Gucheng.
"This Young Master Tianji is a wanted criminal of the imperial court, and his martial arts are so high, we absolutely cannot let him escape!"

"Perhaps..."

If this young master Tianji is so skilled in martial arts, and we let him go today, how could Jin Jiuling possibly survive!

But before he could finish speaking, a white light flashed by!
Keng!
Jin Jiuling's eyes widened, his expression one of disbelief.

The bright bloodstain on his throat proved that it wasn't Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship that was weak, but rather that Wang Gan's martial arts were too strong.

Ye Gucheng sheathed his sword, his expression calm.

"Jin Jiuling embezzled public property and stole treasures from the Prince's Palace. He shall be executed immediately."

Leaving only this one sentence, Ye Gucheng drifted away.

The surrounding soldiers retreated like a tide, disappearing in an instant as if they had never been there at all.
"This"

Lu Xiaofeng was also somewhat surprised.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Gucheng was actually on their side!
