No taboos in the world

Chapter 272: Wuming Enters the Game
The sword energy stretches across 30,000 miles, and the light of one sword chills nineteen states.

As the person closest to the battle, Clay Buddha could not find any description that better fits the battle in front of him.

Sword Saint Dugu Jian, whose Holy Spirit Swordsmanship is unrivaled in the world, his numbered sword styles themselves are unremarkable, but only after seeing them with one's own eyes can one understand for sure that some people can make everything ordinary become incredibly magical.

Dugu Jian was holding an ordinary iron sword, but relying on his superb attainments in swordsmanship, he displayed a sword-fighting power that was at least one of the strongest in the world.

In his swordsmanship, you can see the simplest stabbing, slashing, lifting and poking, as well as the most gorgeous changes of sword moves.

Regardless of whether it is simple or gorgeous, what remains unchanged is the sword's powerful killing power and the supreme enthusiasm for kendo.

Compared with the former, the latter is the main reason why Dugu Jian can be honored as the Sword Saint.

When the Sword Master picked up the sword, it was a perfect portrayal of a sword that could chill the nineteen states.

When it comes to passion and dedication to the way of the sword, Hong Chen is clearly no match for Dugu Jian.

His experience and what he had learned also limited him to some extent, preventing him from focusing all his energy on kendo.

However, his unique abilities and talents still brought him considerable achievements in kendo.

The invisible sword energy that penetrated the body laid the foundation for Hong Chen's swordsmanship.

The unique self-operating characteristics of this sword technique ensured that even when he was distracted by other martial arts, his sword technique would slowly but continuously progress forward.

Of course, it cannot be said that Hong Chen has never worked hard in the way of the sword, otherwise the fourth transformation of the evil dragon into a sword would not have been born.

Although this sword art doesn't seem that orthodox...

As soon as a thought arises, thousands of sword energies are born.

The sword energy is everywhere, and the dragon is following him.

Although not as exaggerated as thirty thousand miles, how many people in this world can summon and manipulate such a huge amount of sword energy?

From this, it can be seen that the battle between the two almost represents the pinnacle of swordsmanship in this world, or even the pinnacle of strength.

Naturally, Hong Chen did not use his ten thousand years of true qi and the six obviously super-level dragon qi to bully the old man Dugu Jian, otherwise the victory or defeat would be decided in a moment.

Of course, if he won, he could directly complete the main task, but this was obviously not in line with his original intention - he came here to cultivate the Gold Element White Dragon.

The clash of swordsmanship might be the opportunity to cultivate the white dragon.

Therefore, although his swordsmanship level is not as good as Dugu Jian's, Hong Chen can always improve his skills in time according to the combat power displayed by Dugu Jian.

So the grand and costly fight between the two continued.

Dugu Jian also started from Sword One and continued to perform with great ease all the way to Sword Twenty.

Of course, he also noticed that something was wrong with Hong Chen. After all, how could anyone force him to use Sword Twenty with ordinary sword skills?

That’s right, in Dugu Jian’s eyes, Hong Chen’s swordsmanship level is really average.

But he also knew that kendo was just one of the myriad martial arts in the world.

Hong Chen may be lagging far behind in progress on this track, but he is clearly on par with or even completely surpassing himself in other tributaries.

Therefore, Dugu Jian did not despise him at all, let alone feel angry. After all, at his level, it was very rare to find an opponent who could completely take his attacks and let him show his skills without any scruples.

"Hahaha! What a joy! It really feels good!"

Dugu Jian stood on the roof of the tower and laughed loudly, his gray beard and long hair fluttering in the wind, his expression uninhibited and wanton. He looked at Hong Chen with burning eyes and said, "It is my honor to fight with Mr. Hong today, but I am ashamed that Mr. Hong wronged himself so much."

Hong Chen stood in the air, with a sword-energy dragon coiled behind him. His eyes were in perfect sync with the dragon's eyes, and sword energy was surging within a hundred feet around him.

"Why do you have to be like this, Sword Saint? If we have to only judge by who wins and who loses in our competition, wouldn't that be cliché?"

"Haha, well said!" Dugu Jian nodded in agreement and added: "I think Mr. Hong's swordsmanship is unique and not limited to practice. If Mr. Hong can spend some time studying swordsmanship, his future swordsmanship achievements will definitely be far better than mine."

Hong Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Sword Saint, you are too kind. Life is limited, but martial arts is limitless. Seeing the boundless ocean, I can only build a small boat and sail into the sea to slowly explore. It is also my good fortune to spar with the Sword Saint this time. Although I cannot get the true meaning of swordsmanship, it is worth it to be able to see it from the Sword Saint."

"That makes sense."

Dugu Jian nodded and said, "The Holy Spirit Sword Technique in the past had 22 moves. I have already performed the first 20 moves, but they cannot cause any harm to you, not even a threat. I think even if I perform all 22 moves, I am afraid I will not be able to do it. However, I have been in seclusion for many years and have figured out the 23rd move. But this move is only an idea and I have never really practiced it. Even I cannot predict its effect."

You don’t know, but I understand!
Hong Chen showed surprise and was about to let him do his best.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Jian suddenly pulled the sword behind him and said, "Sword Twenty-three, hurting others and yourself, Mr. Hong, why don't you wait for me for a few years, and when I have improved it, how about we continue to learn from each other?"

Hong Chen was stunned and said, "You can wait, but I can't!"

With a few years of effort, maybe I can become an immortal in the next world!

So he hurriedly said: "Sword Saint, there is no need to worry so much. It's not that I deliberately underestimate you, but I don't think Sword Twenty-Three can hurt me. Even if the Sword Saint hurts himself, I am confident that I can heal you."

Seriously speaking, this is really arrogant.

But Dugu Jian had a sincere sword heart, so he could naturally distinguish between good and evil, and true and false.

"Is that true?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's true!" Hong Chen nodded seriously.

Just as Dugu Jian was about to agree, a third voice suddenly interrupted.

"Brother Dugu, and Mr. Hong. Your competition has really made me very happy. Since Brother Dugu is not completely sure, and Mr. Hong is confident, why don't you add me in? How about that?"

Hong Chen and Dugu Jian turned their heads and saw a man in black with disheveled hair who was among the crowd below the city one second ago and quickly appeared on the city wall the next second.

Dugu Jian frowned as he saw her: "You're here too?"

The man smiled and nodded: "Brother Dugu has been in seclusion for many years, but a month ago he suddenly announced that he was going to fight someone, so how could I not come and watch the fight?"

Dugu Jian was immediately overjoyed: "Haha, great! Let's spar again today, and let me see if you have improved since then!"

Hong Chen looked at the man in black, raised his eyebrows after a few breaths and said, "Wuming?"

The man in black smiled upon hearing this, clasped his fists and said, "That's right. I showed up rashly, I hope Senior Xielong will understand!"
