Martial Arts Crossover: A fortune teller told Li Hanyi that she was destined to marry him.

"In Deng Tai'a's heart, everything about the Wu family's sword tomb was insignificant. The only person he truly respected was Wu Su."

Chapter 61: Surprisingly, no sword was used.

“When he was practicing swordsmanship at Jianshan, he was young and had no one to take care of him. Only his distant cousin Wu Su often came to visit him and taught him swordsmanship.”

"So although the two are not closely related by blood, in Deng Tai'a's eyes, Wu Su is his own sister."

"When he left the Wu family's sword tomb, he promised her that he would do something for her in this lifetime, even if it meant risking his life."

"After Wu Su's death, this promise naturally fell to Wu Su's son, Xu Fengnian, the heir of Beiliang."

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.

Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a!

Compared to sword immortals like Lang Fanyun, Dugu Qiubai, and Sui Xiegu, Deng Tai'a's name is undoubtedly more renowned.

Within the Liyang martial arts world, his ranking of third in Liyang martial arts rankings is enough to demonstrate his status in the hearts of martial arts enthusiasts.

Even outside of Liyang, Deng Tai'a is quite famous.

But no one expected that he actually came from the Wu Family Sword Tomb and even defeated the Wu Family Ancestor.

Logically speaking, Deng Tai'a should be considered one of the best swordsmen of his generation!

What's most surprising is that he has no feelings for the Wu family's sword tomb, yet he respects Wu Su like a sister.

This means that Xu Fengnian not only has Jian Jiuhuang and Li Chungang by his side, but also Deng Tai'a, the ninth greatest sword immortal in the world, supporting him!

At this moment, everyone was shocked by the power behind Xu Fengnian.

The three most famous swordsmen in the Jianghu of Liyang over the past century were all standing behind him.

Jian Jiuhuang was his family's groom, Li Chungang was his family's bodyguard, and Deng Tai'a was his uncle.

Who can compare to such treatment?

As everyone thought about it, they couldn't help but look towards the private room where Xu Fengnian was, their eyes filled with envy.

In the second private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor.

Li Chungang glanced at Xu Fengnian sideways and said in an unfriendly tone, "You've been hiding your true colors well. With Deng Tai'a protecting you, why would I, an old man, need to personally take action?"

Xu Fengnian responded with a wry smile: "Even the sun in the sky can be seen, I really have no impression of this uncle at all."

Li Chungang stared at him suspiciously for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Never mind, I promised your father I would keep you safe during this time. If you happen to run into Deng Tai'a, it would be good to have a chat with him."

Knowing that Green Robe had been reincarnated, Li Chungang was in an exceptionally good mood, and his shattered sword heart began to slowly recover.

Deng Tai'a is the most popular swordsman in the Jianghu of Liyang over the past few decades.

Li Chungang naturally wanted to see just how awesome he really was.

Su Chen gently waved his folding fan, and before the crowd's discussion had subsided, he continued:

"Furthermore, when Deng Tai'a left the Wu family's sword tomb, he didn't take a single sword with him."

"On the one hand, it's because he harbors resentment towards the Wu family's sword tomb and doesn't want to have any involvement with them."

"On the other hand, he was unwilling to use a sword."

"You heard me right."

"Deng Tai'a, who was known as the Peach Blossom Sword God, was actually very resistant to using a sword and never carried one."

"But even without a sword, he was more formidable than any swordsman."

"Everyone should know this,"

"The current martial arts training system is a compilation of various schools of thought by sages throughout history."

"The Vajra Mortal Realm is a method that absorbs the Vajra Realm of Buddhism."

"The Free Realm is based on the cultivation method of the Daoist Pointing to Profound Realm."

"The Realm of Freedom and Unfettered Heaven is a fusion of elements from the Confucian Celestial Realm."

"The so-called Vajra Realm Perfection is only considered a Lesser Vajra in the Buddhist Vajra Realm, barely a minor achievement."

"The same applies to the Free and Unfettered Realm and the Carefree Heaven Realm. The so-called perfection is nothing more than a minor profound mystery or a minor celestial phenomenon."

"Only by continuing to delve deeper into understanding on the basis of perfection can one possibly reach the realms of Great Vajra, Great Finger Profound, and Great Celestial Phenomenon."

"This level of difficulty is no less than breaking through to become a terrestrial immortal."

"And Deng Tai'a is currently the number one person in the Liyang Jianghu at the Zhixuan Realm."

"You should know that the Jianghu of Liyang has two Taoist ancestral temples, Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, which are most skilled in the cultivation of the Finger Profound Realm."

"But Deng Tai'a, a swordsman who has no connection with Taoism, has cultivated the Finger Profound Realm to its peak, which is enough to show how high his talent is!"

"The fact that he doesn't carry a sword doesn't mean he can't use one."

"On the contrary, he doesn't carry a sword because there's no one in the entire Jianghu of Liyang who's worth drawing his sword for."

"Deng Tai'a is already the number one person in the Li Yang Finger Profound Realm without using a sword. If he were to draw his sword, his combat power would probably be terrifying beyond imagination."

"This is also why he is ranked ninth among all sword immortals in the world, even though his cultivation level has not yet reached the perfection of a terrestrial immortal."

"Deng Tai'a's killing power is extremely rare, even among all cultivators throughout history."

"Some people might ask, if Deng Tai'a is so powerful, why is he only ranked third in the Liyang Martial Arts Ranking, and not as good as the Martial God Wang Xianzhi? Does this mean that Wang Xianzhi is more powerful?"

"Actually, these two things are not directly related."

"The killing power I'm referring to is his mastery of the Profound Realm, not his actual performance in battle."

"Wang Xianzhi's cultivation in the Finger Profound Realm is indeed slightly inferior to Deng Tai'a's, but she is stronger in other aspects."

"Moreover, very few people in the martial arts world know about it."

"Actually, Deng Tai'a and Wang Xianzhi had a fight once."

The Dengtian Pavilion erupted in chaos once again.

Deng Tai'a, who was known as the Peach Blossom Sword God, didn't use a sword.

To be precise, he disdains using a sword; no one in the martial world is worthy of drawing his sword.

Wow, that's an incredibly brilliant idea! But after hearing Su Chen's subsequent analysis, everyone had to admire Deng Tai'a; his arrogance was well-founded. After all, he was the number one expert in the Finger Profound Realm in the Li Yang martial arts world!

Speaking of the three cultivation systems—Vajra, Finger Profound, and Celestial Phenomenon—they are treasures of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and most people in the martial arts world know a little about them. Moreover, these old methods are truly powerful. For example, the Vajra's invincible defense, the Finger Profound's terrifying power, and the Celestial Phenomenon's connection with the heavens and man—mastering any one of them allows one to challenge opponents of higher levels.

Therefore, many practitioners of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism abandoned their original cultivation systems and devoted themselves to studying the cultivation methods of their own sects. As a result, in the Jianghu of Liyang, places with the ancestral temples of the two major Taoist sects, Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, naturally have many masters at the Finger Profound Realm.

Deng Tai'a's ability to defeat these two masters from the ancestral courts of the Daoist sects and win the first place in the Finger Profound Realm demonstrates just how strong his talent is.

What shocked everyone even more was Su Chen's last sentence—Deng Tai'a had actually fought against Wang Xianzhi! This was big news!

In the Liyang Martial Arts Ranking, Wang Xianzhi is ranked second in the world, and Deng Tai'a is ranked third. In everyone's eyes, Wang Xianzhi is an invincible martial arts master, while Deng Tai'a is universally recognized as the number one swordsman in Liyang. Countless people have long wanted to see them fight and see who is stronger.

This battle is of extraordinary significance. Back then, Wang Xianzhi secured his position as the number one martial arts champion by defeating Li Chungang. If Deng Tai'a wins, it will mean that his swordsmanship has surpassed Li Chungang's, demonstrating that the student has surpassed the master.

Unexpectedly, they actually fought. And what was the result? Everyone was incredibly tense, their eyes fixed on Bai Yutai.

On the white jade platform, seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Su Chen didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:

Everyone knows Deng Tai'a, the "Peach Blossom Sword God," right?

"But few people know how this title came about."

"Actually, this title comes from a competition between him and Wang Xianzhi."

“In the past, Deng Tai’a challenged masters from various schools everywhere and never lost.”

"Such a warlike person would naturally not let go of the world-renowned Wang Xianzhi."

“Several years ago, he went to Donghai Wudi City alone to challenge Wang Xianzhi.”

"During that trip, he took on an orphan he got along with very well as an apprentice named Li Huainian."

"Li Huainian was young and did not know Deng Tai'a's name. Seeing that Deng Tai'a had no weapon and often mocked swordsmen for being useless, he assumed that Deng Tai'a did not like to use swords."

"So, Li Huainian used all the money he had saved to buy Deng Tai'a a knife."

"Deng Tai'a didn't originally need a knife, so he traded it for a donkey and rode it backwards slowly toward Wudi City."

"When Li Huainian arrived at the gate of Wudi City, he learned that Deng Tai'a had come to challenge Wang Xianzhi, and he was immediately very worried."

"Although he had never heard of Deng Tai'a, he had heard of Wang Xianzhi and knew that he was the number one master in the martial arts world."

"It was too late to practice now, so Li Huainian advised Deng Tai'a to buy a suitable weapon to improve his strength."

"But Deng Tai'a is very proud and aloof, and no matter how much we try to persuade him, he refuses to use his sword."

"In the end, Li Huainian had no choice but to point to the peach tree next to him and say, 'Even a peach branch will do as a sword.'"

"Thus, a swordsman named Deng Tai'a who used peach blossoms to make swords appeared in the martial arts world, and the title of 'Peach Blossom Sword God' spread."

"On the city wall of Emperor Wu, Deng Tai'a, holding a peach branch, finally confronted Wang Xianzhi."

"That battle was truly earth-shattering. Deng Tai'a felt unprecedented pressure and unleashed all his strength."

"The two ended in a draw."

"This is also the only battle that Wang Xianzhi has not won, apart from Li Chungang."

"This shows just how strong Deng Tai'a is."

"Although he is only ranked ninth on the Sword Immortal Ranking, he practices swordsmanship solely for personal gain, and his killing intent is extremely strong, making him invincible among those of the same level."

"The only drawback is that I don't have enough experience."

"Compared to other sword immortals, Deng Tai'a is much younger and will definitely enter the terrestrial celestial realm in the future."

"His ranking will continue to rise then."

After Su Chen finished speaking, enthusiastic applause rang out in the hall.

What a magnificent swordsman, Deng Tai! Even those who didn't know him well before were filled with awe upon hearing his name.

"He practices swordsmanship solely for personal gain, hence his overwhelming killing intent, making him invincible among his peers!" Just this one sentence is enough to conjure up an image of Deng Tai'a's sharp and domineering figure. This is the true swordsman!

The most excited were none other than the chivalrous figures of Liyang. Deng Tai'a had actually fought Wang Xianzhi to a draw! Besides Li Chungang, he was the only one who could give Wang Xianzhi a hard time. Consider this: Wang Xianzhi had dominated the martial world for sixty years, while Deng Tai'a was at his peak. The future outcome was truly uncertain.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:
