Chapter 1464: A Rising Storm

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ling Long Celestial Palace was packed with people. It was not quiet in Tianqi City, located at the foot of the mountain, either.

The appointed day was approaching. The folks of the Realm of Divine Martial Arts would finally be able to appreciate the great skills of the disciples of the celestial palace.

Sovereign Spirit Palace, Martial Divinity Palace, and the Xia would also send their geniuses here.

For example, Martial Divinity Palace had One Villa, Two Swords, Three Religious Sects, and the Five Distinguished Men of Sword Spirit Mountain, who had shown up before, were one of the Two Swords.

Yan Ying and Chen Dong were from that One Villa, namely, Divine Knife Mountain Villa.

More and more people had accumulated in the city these days. The shops in the city center were all open.

What these shops sold were precious treasures from the forbidden lands in the old days.

“I guess this is the reason Ling Long Celestial Palace encouraged others to take the challenge.”

“It looks so. By doing this, they can show the celestial palace’s strength and the many unique techniques owned by Sovereign Souls, which have been lost to the world.”

At this moment, two men with intense energies flew into Tianqi City. It took the contrails they left behind them a long time to disappear.

The two men looked very alike, both in terms of appearance and disposition. And they were both carrying their knives at the waist.

They did not mean to give off their energies, but some people intuited they were not simple persons.

They were seen at high altitude, their black hair and clothes fluttering, and they looked like knife blades themselves.

They did not linger in the air. After landing on the ground, they went into Wind Cloud Building.

“Are they two of the Four Great Men of Divine Knife Mountain Villa?”

“Strong men in the first tier. Gu Tian, Tian Di, Gu Chuan, and Gu He. They are Gu Chuan and Gu He!”

People were talking about them. They knew things must be fantastic a few days later.

Gu Chuan and Gu He came to the top floor of Wind Cloud Building.

The invisible pressure created by them was so oppressing that those geniuses who had arrived earlier could not even lift their heads.

“Apprentice elder brothers!”

As soon as they stopped, a pretty woman walked over at swift pace, as light as a swallow. Her eyes looked freezing.

“Apprentice Younger Sister Yan Ying, what happened?”

The two brothers noticed their apprentice younger sister was anxious. This was not something usual.

What Yan Ying practiced was the Ice River Knife Doctrine. It would affect the practicer’s character, turning the practicer into an emotionless person, who would feel neither joy nor sorrow.

“Apprentice elder brothers, come with me.”

Yan Ying exhaled. Then she took the two into the corner, where there was a table.

The two brothers soon noticed Apprentice Younger Brother Chen Dong was there, upset and frustrated.

“Oh?”

They suddenly noticed Chen Dong’s left hand was bandaged, and his index finger and ring finger were broken.

“What happened?”

“Who had the nerve to disable my apprentice younger brother?!”

Most knifemen were very hot-tempered. Their anger was usually as striking as thunders, including these two.

Yan Ying told them what had happened.

“He couldn’t even dodge one sword attack?”

“That man knows Dragon Fist?”

The two brothers listened to Yan Ying attentively. They were both shocked.

“You should have restrained yourself since you are not as good as the enemy. You are too arrogant. You think you are matchless in the world. It’s really stupid to mock such an enemy in his face.”

The eldest brother Gu Chuan said unhappily.

Chen Dong lowered his head. It was impossible to see the expression on his face.

“Lift your head! It’s not your right hand that is disabled. It just doesn’t look good. Big deal,” shouted Gu He.

“Apprentice elder brothers.” Yan Ying felt anxious. That was not the reaction she had been expecting.

“Don’t worry. Is that guy called Jiang Chen? We’ll teach him a lesson. He doesn’t get to beat up the disciples of Divine Knife Mountain Villa.”

Knowing what she was going to say, Gu Chuan beat her to it.

“Cool!”

Yan Ying and Chen Dong rested assured when they heard this promise.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen left Tianqi City a few days ago. No one knew his current whereabouts.

“Tut. Tut. Tut. You talked really big. That guy knows Dragon Fist. It can be compared to ultimate-level martial arts techniques. How dare you two be so arrogant?”

At that moment, an inappropriate remark came.

The fact that the speaker was also on the top floor of Wind Cloud Building meant both his identity and his strength were great. Otherwise, it would be like courting death to drop such a remark.

The two brothers from Divine Knife Mountain Villa threw that person an angry stare. However, their pupils contracted as soon as they saw him.

It was a young man in a white robe. The upper part of the clothes and the lower hem were embroidered with a pattern of clouds.

His long hair hung loose on his shoulders. His dashing black eyebrows could be compared to swords. He had a prominent nose and thin lips.

His tone was frivolous and teasing, but he was not scorning deliberately.

“Bai Feng, I didn’t expect you to show up here.”

Apparently, they knew each other. The two brothers did not fly into a rage.

“Alas. I’m here to see what kind of improvements my useless younger brother has gained.” The young man looked casual, but a smart light flashed in his eyes.

Gu Chuan and Gu He exchanged a look. They knew a disciple called Meng Kong from Heaven Sword Mountain had gone to Ling Long Celestial Palace and created a great disturbance.

It was simply because Meng Kong was one of the few well-known geniuses who had chosen to join the celestial palace.

And Heaven Sword Mountain regarded him as an important disciple. They trained him hard, but in the end, he joined Ling Long Celestial Palace, which put Heaven Sword Mountain in an awkward place.

However, it was not a concern for the two brothers. They were still thinking about that Jiang Chen.

“Even if Dragon Fist is an ultimate-level martial arts technique, it can’t go against nature. Besides, it exhausts the practicer greatly. Its practicer has to defeat the enemy at one go. However, I won’t give him that chance,” said Gu Chuan.

The young man neither agreed nor opposed. He simply did not argue.

“Oh?”

When they were about to sit together to have a good chat, the young man sensed something. He came to the window, looking towards Dragon Tiger Mountain.

“The sword energy is pillar-shaped. It’s lingering there. Doesn’t vanish.”

The youngster said to himself.

It turned out a sky-reaching light pillar of sword energy was soaring into clouds from Dragon Tiger Mountain. It was striking.

The two brothers were knifemen. Their sensitivities were less acute. However, they also realized it was unusual as soon as they saw the light pillar.

“That’s the Sword House, the practicing room of Hundred Swords Peak of Ling Long Celestial Palace. It can make swordsmen gain a lot through hard training, and they even can get ultimate-level sword methods there.”

“Last time this occurred was when their vice leader Zhang Tian went into the Sword House.”

The strong people gathering at Wind Cloud Building were new here. They knew little about this.

But many who had stayed in Tianqi City for some time knew some details.

“Zhang Tian? Zhang Tian, the Sword King of Breeze?”

The young man was surprised. Zhang Tian’s name was not strange to him. He turned serious immediately.

If Zhang Tian could create such a disturbance in the Stone House, it could not be him again who had created the current light pillar, and this person could not be weaker than Zhang Tian.

“I really want to go to take a look.”

The youngster thought to himself.

Unfortunately, outsiders did not have access to Ling Long Celestial Palace for the moment.

At the moment, most disciples of the celestial palace had gathered at Hundred Swords Peak. They were all staring at the number on the stone wall.

It was “Fifteen” at the moment. It just needed one more change to equal Zhang Tian’s record.

Even if he did not pass, Jiang Chen would have achieved what he had boasted.

Liu Neng, at first very disdainful for Jiang Chen, had been totally convinced by the latter.

He went into the Sword House once, too. He knew very well how helpless a Martial Emperor could be inside.

In the Sword House, Jiang Chen had passed the fourteenth challenge. He was in the middle of the fifteenth.

The occasion was intimidating. There were over one hundred thousand sword spirits there.

Fortunately, flying was not allowed. Jiang Chen only had to deal with forty-five sword spirits at once.

However, they kept coming without giving him a chance to take a break.

The average level of the sword spirits in this challenge was level one of Sword Doctrine Will, almost the same as Jiang Chen’s level!

“Azure Lotus Transforms to Sword!”

Jiang Chen exerted the second movement again. It was smooth and natural. Apparently, he had fully mastered it.
