At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had all the hairs on his body standing on end and beads of sweat on his back. He felt extremely dangerous in his heart. His identity could be revealed at any time.
"No matter what, I can never stay in Liang Yi Sect anymore. Now, no one has reacted yet, but soon, someone will definitely guess who I am." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
Xuanji Sword Master obviously realized that Zhang Ruochen was in a very dangerous situation, so he snorted coldly and said: "Jiuyou, according to what you say, you are the most innocent person?"
Jiuyou Sword Master smiled and said: "Xuanji, we have been rivals for life, don't you understand me yet? Am I the kind of person who dares to do something but not be worthy?"
Sword Master Xuanji was silent for a moment and said: "I prefer to believe that you said such words just before the decisive battle because you wanted to disturb my state of mind."
The reason why Xuanji Sword Master said this was actually to protect Zhang Ruochen, and he wanted to lead everyone present to doubt the authenticity of Jiuyou Sword Master's words.
Jiuyou Sword Master still had a faint smile on his face, and admitted it very calmly, saying: "Yes, I just want to disturb your state of mind. Otherwise, guess whether your disciple was manipulated by me.
Kill?"
There was a burst of curses from the crowd.
Second senior brother Zhu Hongtao clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "Damn it, it's so despicable. At such a critical moment, Jiuyou Sword Master actually used the death of his junior brother to disturb the master's state of mind."
"Master's favorite person is my junior brother, and I have high hopes for him. I hope that Master can keep his mind and not be affected by the words of Jiuyou Sword Master." Senior Brother Qingxiao Saint said with a solemn expression.
Except for Huang Yanchen, none of the brothers knew that Zhang Ruochen was still alive.
Xuanji Sword Master issued a challenge to Jiuyou Sword Master. In fact, to a certain extent, he also wanted to protect Zhang Ruochen so that no one would suspect that he was still alive.
At this moment, even if Jiuyou Sword Master said that he did not kill Zhang Ruochen, everyone would doubt the authenticity of his words.
Jiuyou Sword Master has to bear this blame.
Next, the two sword masters fell into complete silence and faced off against each other. The aura erupting from their bodies became increasingly powerful.
Regardless of whether Jiuyou Sword Master killed Zhang Ruochen or not, this battle was inevitable.
Because both Jiuyou Sword Master and Xuanji Sword Master want to break through the realm they dream of through this battle.
If they cannot reach that state, a hundred years later, they will completely perish because their lifespan is exhausted.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Almost at the same time, Jiuyou Sword Master and Xuanji Sword Master transformed into two sword energy light pillars, rushing straight up and flying into the clouds.
Immediately, they stepped on the void and stood in the air. Powerful holy energy poured out of their bodies without any reservation.
On the ground, the younger generation of monks all felt a huge pressure, their legs kept shaking, as if they were about to be forced to kneel on the ground by the holy power emanating from the two sword masters.
The duel between the two sword masters will definitely cause huge destructive power, and even the saint will be in danger of falling if he comes within a hundred miles.
"Activate the ancient Tai Chi formation." Ning Xuandao immediately ordered.
The next moment, seventy-two ancient formations in the ancient sacred mountain started to move, and seventy-two white light pillars rushed out, flew high into the sky, and connected together to form a huge Tai Chi pattern.
With the ancient sacred mountain as the center, the area within a thousand miles is completely covered by the formation.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was also quite nervous. He clenched his fists and looked up, his eyes fixed on the two sword masters.
"Master must win."
Zhang Ruochen has never considered winning or losing so important as he does now.
Therefore, once defeated, it is death.
If it were not for Xuanji Sword Master, Zhang Ruochen would not have been able to reach the supreme realm when he was on the battlefield in the Ruins Realm. It is very likely that he would have been killed by evil masters in the black market.
If it were not for Xuanji Sword Master, Zhang Ruochen would have been caught in front of Chi Yao by Wan Zhiyi. As a loser, an ant, and a loser, he would eventually be suppressed and kneel in front of Queen Chi Yao.
Perhaps, he will be killed by her a second time.
To Zhang Ruochen, Xuanji Sword Master was not only a master who preached, received karma, and solved doubts, but also an elder who took good care of him.
Once a teacher, always a father.
It can be said that besides his parents, Xuanji Sword Master is the person Zhang Ruochen respects the most.
Not only Zhang Ruochen, but other fellow apprentices, Saint Qingxiao, Zhu Hongtao, Wan Ke... and others were also very nervous and worried about their master's safety.
Above the sky, the two sword masters stood in the north and south respectively, twelve miles apart. The sword intent, momentum, and holy power emanating from their bodies had reached the extreme.
The two of them were still standing where they were, not starting to fight yet.
However, in the void between them, roaring sounds continued to sound, and invisible sword energy collided with each other.
In fact, the two of them had already started a fierce confrontation.
However, the two sword masters mobilized their sword intent to duel, so their moves were invisible to the naked eye.
"boom."
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky, and a circle of white energy, like ripples on the water, surged out from the body of the Xuanji Sword Master, shaking the Jiuyou Sword Master back hundreds of feet.
It is clear that in the duel between swordsmen, the Xuanji Sword Saint is superior in skill and has the upper hand.
"monstrous!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xuanji Sword Master naturally took advantage of the victory and pursued it. He formed seals with his hands, summoned the Taotian Sword, stretched out a finger, and pointed in the direction of Jiuyou Sword Master.
The Taotian Sword dragged out a beam of light nearly a hundred meters long, like a bright meteor, quickly streaking across the sky.
In a duel between sword cultivators, one must work hard to achieve overwhelming success, and one must have a belief in victory.
When Xuanji Sword Master used his sword power to repel Jiuyou Sword Master, he not only increased his own momentum, but also suppressed Jiuyou Sword Master's momentum.
As long as there is this momentum, the balance of victory will quickly tip towards Xuanji Sword Master.
Moon Burial Sword Master stared at the sky, nodded, and said: "In today's battle, Xuanji Sword Master already has a 70% chance of winning."
"In the past hundred years, Xuanji Sword Master has been focusing on the way of swordsmanship. However, Jiuyou Sword Master has been entangled in the worldly affairs of the black market, and then began to fall behind." Ning Xuandao said.
The Moon Burial Sword Master continued: "The three great sword masters in the Eastern Region, Xuanji's swordsmanship is the best. Even without this decisive battle, he should have a chance to break through to that realm in his lifetime."
Thinking of that realm, Moon Burial Sword Master and Ning Xuandao both showed longing expressions. Without great opportunities, even they would probably not be able to break through in their lifetimes.
Unless they can work as hard as Xuanji Sword Master and Jiuyou Sword Master, they might still be able to get a certain chance.
"Wow——"
The sky in the south turned completely into darkness.
Wisps of black smoke, like a long dragon, gathered at the feet of Jiuyou Sword Master, exuding a cold and chilling aura.
From the center of Jiuyou Sword Master's eyebrows, nine black ancient swords flew out in succession, arranged in nine directions on his body.
The nine swords quickly rotated in a circle, and finally, they came together, and the sword rushed forward quickly, colliding with the monstrous sword struck by Xuanji Sword Master.
"Boom."
Where the two swords collided, dense sword energy was born, surging out in all directions like water waves.
Some of the sword energy flew thousands of miles away and fell to the ground, still erupting with powerful power, leaving large craters with a diameter of tens of meters on the ground.
The warriors of Liangyi Sect and Shentai City also saw the sword energy flying from the sky. Each sword energy was like a meteorite streaking across the sky, making a harsh sound of breaking wind.
People who didn't know it thought it was the stars falling from the sky, which made people feel frightened and immediately knelt down to worship.
Gradually, the figures of Jiuyou Sword Master and Xuanji Sword Master completely disappeared and were completely enveloped by the sword energy. Only the sounds of fighting could be heard one after another.
Only figures of the level of Moon Burial Sword Master and Ning Xuandao can continue to watch the battle.
This battle lasted a whole day and did not end until nightfall.
Suddenly, Moon Burial Sword Master's face changed slightly, and he said with some confusion: "Something's wrong, something's wrong, Xuanji Sword Master clearly has the absolute upper hand, but why is the power he exerts weakening rapidly? Is there some accident?
"
Zhang Ruochen's heart tightened and he had an ominous premonition. He immediately walked towards the Moon Burial Sword Master and asked, "Sword Master, what happened to Xuanji Sword Master?"
"Boom" sound.
Before the Moon Burial Sword Master could respond, the Xuanji Sword Master fell from the sky and hit the ground hard, creating a huge dent.
The diameter of the pit is a hundred meters, and the surrounding ground is completely broken and bulging.
In the center of Xuanji Sword Master's pit and on his chest, there was a huge black sword inserted. A pair of old eyes stared straight in the direction of the sky, and he uttered the last two words: "Old...four...
…”
Immediately, he completely lost his life.
However, his voice was too weak, and no one could hear it except himself.
Above the sky, the black clouds gradually receded, revealing a bright moon, with wisps of moonlight falling on the body of the Xuanji Sword Master, making this scene even more desolate.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.
Jiuyou Sword Master's whole body was covered in blood. He flew down from the sky and appeared next to the pit. He glanced at Xuanji Sword Master's body with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Even he couldn't figure out why Xuanji Sword Master's strength suddenly declined so severely that he couldn't block his sword.
However, no matter what, he finally won this decisive battle.
"Wow!"
Jiuyou Sword Master waved his arm and took back the holy sword.
"Master!"
Saint Qingxiao, Zhu Hongtao, Wan Ke, Feng Han, Half Saint Lingshu, and Huang Yanchen immediately rushed into the pit and surrounded Xuanji Sword Saint.
Even though some of them had become saints, they still knelt on the ground, all of them crying bitterly.
"Master...honor..."
In the camp of Liang Yi Sect, Zhang Ruochen felt as if he was struck by five thunders. His heart hurt violently and he couldn't stop the tears in his eyes. He bent his legs and knelt down in the direction of Sword Master Xuanji.
(For the master’s death, the scapegoat king Jiuyou Sword Master will definitely continue to take the blame. So what is the truth? Will Zhang Ruochen discover the truth? Please look forward to the next volume of "The World Is Shaking".)
