Chapter 220 [Shameless]

It is difficult to let the opponent make a few moves unless you are confident enough in your strength.

The world's sword master does have such confidence.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Since it is three moves, Sword Saint, please remember it correctly."

On the stage, two men stood opposite each other. There were many spectators below the stage, and a new gambling game was temporarily set up.

The dealer offered a ratio, Li Chengqian versus Sword Saint Gu Jiantang, Li Chengqian pays 2 for 1, while Gu Jiantang pays 1.2 for 1.

For warriors all over the world, many of them grew up listening to the legend of Gu Jiantang.

The world's sword saint is worthy of his reputation.

Although he has rarely taken action in recent years, his strength is unquestionable.

Even a sword master might be able to kill land immortals with celestial phenomena.

Therefore, without exception, all bookmakers' opportunities have lower odds for Gu Jiantang.

Most people who place bets choose Gu Jiantang, and few choose Li Chengqian.

The most eye-catching person at this station is His Majesty the Emperor in the Imperial Palace, who is also paying close attention to it.

This is the finale of today's martial arts competition and also the highlight that should not be missed.

"Who do you think is better, Prime Minister?" asked the prince.

Zhang Julu half-closed his eyes and half-slept, speaking lazily:
"Your Highness, I do not understand martial arts, but Gu Jiantang has been practicing swords for many years, so I think the chances of winning are naturally higher if I draw the sword this time."

The prince's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something. He looked at the gentle and cold woman in snow-white clothes, but saw that she had already walked towards the direction of the bet.

Chunmei took out a million-dollar banknote and bet on her own son to win.

This move caused a sensation and a lot of discussion.

The Xuanyuan family controls the world's waterways, so it's not surprising that they can come up with such a huge sum of money.

However, many people feel that this money is destined to be wasted.

There is no echo.

"Go, place a bet on Gu Jiantang to win, and bet one hundred taels." Zhang Julu actually placed a bet, which attracted everyone's attention.

It’s just this amount...

There is a rumor in Kyoto that Zhang Julu is an honest official with incorruptible personalities.

This one hundred taels may be his savings over the years.

The woman behind Gu Jiantang, who was carrying two crescent-shaped scimitars on her back, nodded slightly and went towards the place where the bets were placed.

The battle on the stage is about to break out.

It was a scorching hot day, but suddenly there was a loud thunder in the sky, exploding in the sky.

In the lightning, there was a flash of sword.

The light is brilliant, dazzling and shocking.

Everyone closed their eyes subconsciously.

If you look directly into such a strong light, you will be blinded.

My eyes are burning with pain.

Under the strong light, time and space all stop for a moment.

Draw the sword!
The sword seals the throat.

Gu Jiantang was at the center of the attack and felt it most clearly.

Life and death are just a matter of a moment. This is definitely not an ordinary martial arts move.

Come up and turn it up!
Gu Jiantang's face turned dark.

Why don't this man and woman play by the rules?

Shouldn't you try a few things before fighting?
Depend on!
Draw the sword!
Faced with life and death, Gu Jiantang did not dare to be careless and immediately used his best skills.

Sword drawing vs knife drawing.

The scimitar in his hand is like a full moon, simple and distant, filled with a sense of solemnity and murderousness, yet suppressed and hidden, with a sharp edge contained within.

The sword was unsheathed, the stone broke, and the clouds split.

The arena was instantly torn into pieces.

A knife.

A sword.

Everyone felt the boundless murderous intent as they closed their eyes. They were in a sea of ​​death, drifting in the wind without any control.

So close to death.

The blood in the body seemed to stop flowing, breathing was blocked, and the chest felt uncomfortable.

After a long time, the clouds cleared and the moon appeared.

Everyone can open their eyes.

The fighting is over.

The arena collapsed, and the ground was covered with gullies and cracks.

The sword that Gu Jiantang had loved for many years had broken at this moment, and due to the backlash, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

There are slight bloodstains on the neck.

He is already on the brink of life and death.

Seeing this scene, there was complete silence all around.

After a while, there were continuous wails. They were not out of pity for the defeat of the Sword Saint, nor were they disappointed for the fading of the legend. It was just because they had bet too much and lost everything.

The person who opened the market was smiling happily and making a lot of money.

"Sword Saint, where are the three moves you agreed on?"

Fan put away his sword.

"Ha!" Si Gu Jian didn't blush at all, he just chuckled and said nothing more.

Sure enough, the truly strong ones are often shameless.

Si Gu Jian turned around and left without saying anything. He left the Royal Courtyard directly.

If you are injured, you naturally have to go back to recuperate.

After the battle, Li Chengqian's reputation reached a new level.

The fact that one can kill land immortals has also been completely confirmed.

If two people of such strength join forces, there will be few rivals in the world.

Moreover, some people have speculated whether the two men can join forces to fight against Wang Xianzhi.

In the entire martial arts world, anyone who is truly powerful will be compared with Wang Xianzhi.

If you don’t even have the qualifications to be compared, you can’t even get a number.

Li Chengqian's plan also went very smoothly.

There's news from the palace.

The emperor summoned him.

Li Chengqian and Chunmei both entered the palace.

Emperor Liyang personally met with the two and hosted a banquet for them.

The emperor intended to appoint the two as the chief and deputy commander of the imperial guards, but they were rejected.

So, naturally, the two of them became royal guests.

Enjoy great privileges and extremely high treatment.

They will only be bothered when there is a real need for action.

Don't take ordinary matters lightly.

With the support of the royal family, the necessary cultivation resources are readily available.

Li Chengqian immediately upgraded all his flying swords, as well as Chunmei's ice sword, to the next level.

While continuing to gain experience, Li Chengqian continued with his own plan.

[Sword Drawing 2450/4000 (Level )]

[Ten Thousand Swords Return 2580/3000 (Level )]

[Sword Forging 1566/3000 (Level )]

The experience points of the three skills progress at about the same rate.

The sword-wielding technique is most likely to break through first.

Li Chengqian decided that he needed to give priority to it.

After his sword-making skills broke through the third level, he was already able to forge flying swords with attributes.

The Sword of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre are, after all, just divine weapons. If they were added with attribute powers, their power would be completely different.

After being recast by Li Chengqian, Chunmei's Ice Sword's extreme cold properties were greatly enhanced, making it even more powerful.

He thought about making a water sword for Chunmei so that she could use it to comprehend the true energy of water.

However, materials that can be forged with water properties are extremely rare.

Available but not available.

Chunmei has never touched the threshold of water attribute, which makes her quite distressed.

However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed, and haste makes waste.

Now, Li Chengqian can control the twelve flying swords, which work together to become more powerful.

However, he has never shown such methods in front of others so far.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Li Chengqian's plan also made great progress.

He had a rare opportunity to be alone with Emperor Li Yang, so he decisively took control of him.

At this point, Emperor Li Yang became a puppet.

Life and death depends on Li Chengqian's thoughts.

By controlling Emperor Li Yang, one third of his plan to unify the world was completed.

During these three months, the strength of the two has greatly improved.

Chunmei's cultivation has broken through to the late celestial realm. Her realm is stable, and she has initially comprehended the true meaning of water and possesses water-attributed true energy.

The sword power of the Great River has also reached a higher level.

Li Chengqian's realm also broke through to the late celestial realm.

[Sword Drawing 3980/4000 (Level )]

[Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin 1/4000 (Level )]

[Sword Forging 2999/3000 (Level )]
