"Now that Xiong Ba has been killed, I will never let you make a move again."
Wuming raised his hand and summoned his sword, and a gleaming sword came hurtling through the air.
The sword exudes heroic spirit—it is the Hero Sword, the supreme treasure of the Sword Sect!
"You're willing to fight me to the death for a dead man?"
Seeing the Nameless Sword drawn, Laughing at the World already knew his resolve.
He secretly scoffed at the man's pedantry and stubbornness.
No wonder that cold-blooded old man favored him.
"A promise made will be kept, even at the cost of death."
The nameless man stood there, sword in hand, his gaze as sharp as iron.
"It's a pity, I wanted to spare your life."
"Since you desire death, I will grant your wish!"
With a laugh, he brought his two fingers together, and the newly comprehended sword intent of grief condensed at his fingertips.
"I'll send you on your way using the swordsmanship you taught me!"
A flash of sword light appeared, and Wuming brandished his sword to meet it.
334 The Great Dragon Head Returns?
Heaven and earth belong to my own way!
Just as the fierce battle resumed, an extremely malevolent sword intent descended from the heavens.
Xiao Aoshi suddenly felt a fatal threat; if he took this attack head-on, he would be severely injured.
He hastily withdrew his sword and retreated, instantly landing atop the courtyard wall.
The sword intent landed and materialized into a white-clad swordsman kneeling before the nameless man:
"Master, please forgive me for being late."
Both Wuming and Xiao Aoshi were horrified as they watched the person unleash such a bizarre sword technique.
"Does this sword strike have a name?"
Xiao Aoshi is obsessed with martial arts, and because of the "myriad paths of the universe", he is fixated on all martial arts in the world.
The fact that this sword intent could injure him naturally made it difficult for him to let go of the resentment.
Wuming was also surprised. He helped Jianchen up and asked the same question again.
“Master! This is one of the six sword intents that I obtained from the ‘Sword Realm’.”
"It is rumored that these six moves all belong to the 'Mysterious Yin Sword Master'!"
If it were merely a question posed by Xiao Aoshi, Jian Chen would certainly not respond.
But when Wuming spoke, he held nothing back.
"'Sword Realm'? 'Mysterious Yin Sword Master'?"
The nameless whispered, pondering these two unfamiliar titles.
His arrogant gaze suddenly brightened, and he eagerly pressed for an answer:
"You've actually returned from the 'Sword Realm'? Has the Great Dragon Head also left the 'Sword Realm'?"
The Sword Realm has been opened twice.
Chapter 179 Sword Emperor
The first instance was when Lu Xueqi borrowed the Dao Yun Jade Pendant and Zichu relied on the He Shi Bi Jade to use their unparalleled sword intent to impact the void, forcibly drawing the Sword Realm to descend into the world.
At that time, all the sword masters of Kyushu flocked in, seeking opportunities.
Among them was Ximen Yu, the chief leader of the Green Dragon Society!
The second one occurred during a battle on the border of Western Xia.
Qiao Feng faced 100,000 Kheshig soldiers alone, fighting to the death without retreating.
At the critical moment of life and death, Ximen Yu actually crossed the barrier of the sword realm and unleashed the "Heavenly Sword" that made the Laughing World Brothers bow down!
The opening was rushed, and no one was able to enter.
Now that Jian Chen claims to be from the Sword Realm, Xiao Aoshi is overjoyed—could it be that the Great Dragon Head has returned to the Azure Dragon Peak?
Will his blood feud with his brother finally be resolved?
"This matter..."
Jian Chen hesitated and did not reply.
"Jian Chen! Where is your senior master?"
When Wuming saw that only he had returned, he became suspicious.
Among those who brought Jian Chen into the sword world back then was his close friend, the "Sword Emperor" Mu Yingxiong!
"Master, let's talk later. First, let's join forces to defeat the enemy!"
Jian Chen avoided answering, and his sinister sword intent surged forth once more from his body.
Upon seeing this, Wuming frowned.
Although he cultivates the "Power of Grief," its foundation is the "Heavenly Sword," which embodies the might of the heavens.
Even though grief and indignation are negative emotions, after being tempered by the "Heavenly Sword," they become the righteous path.
Jian Chen's eerie sword intent was extremely sinister, completely opposite to the swordsmanship taught by Wuming!
With a formidable enemy at hand, Wuming had no time to inquire about the details.
"'Boss,' as your senior, I have no choice but to make an exception and join forces with my disciple Jian Chen to fight today."
An unnamed man wields a hero's sword, aiming to laugh at the world.
Xiao Aoshi thought to himself, although Wuming's strength was slightly reduced due to his damaged state of mind, Jian Chen's sword intent made up for it, and the two of them together were even stronger than before.
Although I have mastered the "Sorrowful Sword Way", I will be injured if I rashly engage in combat.
Now that the Great Dragon Leader Ximen Yu has likely returned from the Sword Realm, it is the perfect opportunity to submit. Going there while injured would be unwise.
Moreover, Tianshan also has the Purple-Clad Elder as a gift.
Xiong Ba's life is not meant to end today; it is the will of Heaven.
"Hmph! Xiong Ba, I'll spare your life for now."
"But if you offend the Azure Dragon Society, even if I don't kill you, someone else will take your life in the future!"
Having said that, Xiao Aoshi leaped up and headed towards Tianshan Mountain.
Only after it had gone far away did Wuming breathe a sigh of relief and cough a few times, covering his chest.
Jian Chen quickly withdrew his sword intent and stepped forward to help him up.
"Master, how did you get injured?"
"Sigh, let's not talk about it..."
The nameless man looked ashamed, never expecting that seeking revenge for his deceased wife would cause a flaw in his sword intent.
It seems that "unexplainable grief" needs to be addressed in another way, but even if he could do it all over again, he would still kill Po Jun!
"Thank you so much, nameless hero, for saving my life!"
Seeing that the crisis was over, Xiong Ba immediately rushed out, knelt down and kowtowed.
"Please get up quickly!"
Nameless was relieved to have saved Xiong Ba, and ordered Jian Chen to help him up, saying:
"Now that you've retired from the world, find a place to live out the rest of your life in peace."
"If anyone seeks revenge, they may come to Zhonghua Pavilion to find me."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Ba was overjoyed and flattered him repeatedly.
"Alright, Jian Chen, help Xiong Ba to rest first. We'll discuss the Sword Realm with you in detail later."
Unable to bear the flattery, Wuming waved for Jianchen to take him away.
He returned to his room and began to heal and regulate his breathing.
This battle greatly benefited Wuming, not only allowing him to discover the flaws in his own mindset but also enabling him to comprehend the spiritual realm of "Myriad Paths of the Universe." As long as he repairs his mental barriers and nourishes the "Heavenly Sword," his cultivation will surely reach new heights.
At the same time, Xiao Aoshi swept across the sky like a whirlwind, reaching the summit of Tianshan Mountain. When he arrived at the ruins of the World Society, the purple-robed leader had already vanished without a trace.
"This is impossible! I clearly beat him to the point of near death." Xiao Aoshi exclaimed in astonishment, "Even I would have difficulty recovering from such a severe injury quickly, how could he have healed completely and escaped?"
Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the Heavenly Dao Golden List in the sky suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

[Nine Provinces Peak Combat Power Ranking - 25th (tied): Dugu Yifang (Rebirth Crossing) Realm: Early Mythical Stage]
[Background: Younger brother of Sword Saint Dugu Jian, and the de facto ruler of Wushuang City in Yunzhou]
Yunzhou Sword Sect is the birthplace of swordsmanship throughout the world.
During Jian Hui's tenure, three sword prodigies emerged from his tutelage.
[Nameless, Mu Yingxiong, and Po Jun]
As Jian Hui's biological son, Po Jun receives much of her favoritism.
[To vie for the position of Sword Sect Leader and the supreme secret manual 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to One']
The final candidates are only Wuming and Pojun.
To ensure impartiality, Jian Hui invited numerous experts and twelve elders of the Sword Sect to witness the event.
The peerless city lord, Dugu Yifang, was also among those invited.
Before keeping the appointment, Dugu Yifang fears that the Shuangcheng region will be leaderless.
[Find someone whose appearance is identical to yours to temporarily assume the position of city lord]
[Then they set off for the Sword Sect.]
[The nameless one's talent and cultivation far surpass those of Po Jun.]
To help Po Jun win, Jian Hui actually used the Rejuvenating Ice Technique to freeze the Sword Cave.
Everyone present, except for Nameless and Po Jun, turned into ice sculptures.
[Even the solitary figure was sealed by ice.]
However, his cultivation was profound, and his will to survive was strong.
[By chance, her soul left her body and encountered the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.]
Impressed by their unwavering will, Bai Suzhen bestowed upon the Six Demons the ultimate martial art, "Rebirth Crossing."
With this achievement, Dugu Yifang returned to the mortal realm.
