[Wudang's Centenarian Taoist: Miss Huang Rong, could you tell us about the background of this expert, Xiongba? What's his deal?]
[Long Bo: Seeking enlightenment!]
[Peach Blossom Island's Little Chef: I only just learned about this person myself. I haven't had a chance to ask Brother Jiang Li yet. I'll ask him now, and you can all listen in!]
After Huang Rong posted this message in the chat group, she turned the live stream's camera towards Jiang Li.
Seeing this, Jiang Li nodded and said, "Alright, I'll tell you all about this person!"
"His name is Dugu Jian. He's a famous Sword Saint in this world, a natural-born sword fanatic!"
"Dugu Jian was born into the renowned martial arts clan of Wushuang City, and his talent in swordsmanship is absolutely stunning!"
"When he was three years old, he passed by his family's treasure pavilion. A divine sword sensed his unparalleled talent and, breaking through over a dozen walls, willingly submitted to him!"
"You have to understand, this divine sword had been sitting in his family's treasure pavilion for hundreds of years, and no one could ever tame it!"
Jiang Li said this, and both Yaoyue and the other woman were moved.
At only three years old, a peerless divine weapon had already acknowledged him as its master, demonstrating just how terrifying his talent was.
[Purple Cloud Gentleman Sword: This talent truly lives up to the Sword Saint's name!]
[Hundred-Year-Old Taoist from Wudang: It recognizes its own master and can fly! This divine weapon has probably reached the level of a cultivator's magical artifact!]
[Little Li's Flying Knife: As expected of a mid-level martial world; even a sword can recognize its master. It's already become sentient, hasn't it!]
Jiang Li nodded and said, "Actually, you've all seen this divine sword. Its name is Wushuang. It's the one Nie Feng used that day to almost kill Xiongba with a single strike!"
He was looking at the chat group messages while he spoke.
Everyone suddenly understood.
So, the peerless divine weapon that Nie Feng used to split the void that day was actually the Sword Saint Dugu Jian's Wushuang Sword. No wonder it was so sharp.
[A Hundred-Year-Old Taoist from Wudang: Indeed, a peerless divine weapon!]
[Zixia's Gentleman Sword: That's amazing! Such a terrifying divine sword actually submitted to this Sword Saint. One can imagine how amazing his talent is!]
[Shi Potian: Did the Sword Saint Dugu Jian die? How did his Wushuang Sword end up in Nie Feng's hands?]
"Dugu Jian started learning swordsmanship at the age of five. By the time he was seven, his swordsmanship surpassed his master. At nine, he became a famous swordsmanship genius in the Jianghu!"
"At thirteen, he had an epiphany in swordsmanship, becoming a swordsmanship master overnight!"
"At eighteen, to create the perfect swordsmanship, he decided to go to Dongying!"
"Because he was poisoned with a terrible toxin that could rob him of his emotions. He believed that only by restoring his emotions could he create the most perfect swordplay in the world."
"Years later, Dugu Jian, the Sword Saint, returned from Dongying. No one knew what he had experienced there!"
"All that was known was that during his time in Dongying, he created the Sacred Spirit Swordplay. In a short time, he used this Sacred Spirit Swordplay to sweep away all the top experts in the world, becoming the number one swordsman of the time!"
Huang Rong, hearing this, looked curiously at Jiang Li and asked, "Brother Jiang Li, don't you know about the Sword Saint Dugu Jian's experiences in Dongying?"
"Is the Sacred Spirit Swordplay the perfect swordplay he was pursuing?"
Yaoyue was also curious.
Jiang Li shook his head and said, "The Sacred Spirit Swordplay is naturally not the perfect swordplay…"
"After Dugu Jian went to Dongying, he did indeed find something to counteract the poison, restoring his emotions!"
"It was also in Dongying that he met the woman he loved most in his life!"
"The first seventeen moves of the Sacred Spirit Swordplay weren't created by him alone, but by him and this woman together!"
"If the two of them had continued to create together, perhaps they could have created a truly perfect swordplay!"
"Unfortunately, on the day of their wedding, due to certain unforeseen circumstances, the antidote for Dugu Jian wore off, and he reverted to a state devoid of emotions!"
"On the day of his wedding, he abandoned that woman and left Dongying!"
"After that, the Sword Saint refined the Sacred Spirit Swordplay further, creating Sword Technique 18 and Sword Technique 22."
"These later sword techniques were entirely focused on killing, and naturally, could no longer be considered a perfect swordplay!"
How regrettable!
Hearing this, everyone secretly shook their heads.
If Dugu Jian hadn't reverted to a state devoid of emotions and desires, his monstrous talent might have allowed him to create a truly perfect swordsmanship.
"Brother Jiang Li, if that's the case, although this person is impressive, he's not exactly a peerless genius, is he?" Huang Rong asked.
"Just like this, Dugu Jian naturally can't be this world's Dugu Qiubai!"
"I said before, he has created Sword Technique 22 of his Sacred Spirit Swordplay!"
"After years of silence, he's now on the verge of creating Sword Technique 23!"
"Sword Technique 23, Destroying Heaven and Exterminating Earth!"
"Once the sword intent is unleashed, the Primordial Spirit leaves the body, locking down time and space!"
"The brilliance of this sword is unmatched, looking across the world of martial arts!"
"Within the realm of his swordplay, everything freezes, becoming helpless before him."
"Unable to break free from his sword domain, not even Golden Core cultivators, let alone Nascent Soul experts, can escape death!"
"In fact, he has reached the supreme state of manifesting his mind!"
"The lofty intent of his sword will surpasses even my own!"
Huang Rong and Yaoyue gasped.
In truth, even though they were curious about Dugu Jian before, after learning the cultivation techniques, they didn't really care that much.
But after hearing Jiang Li describe Sword Technique 23, they couldn't stay calm!
[Wudang's Centenarian Daoist: Sword Technique 23, this is truly the perfect swordplay, isn't it!]
[The universe is boundless, borrowing the power of the cosmos: What a terrifying sword move! To kill a Nascent Soul expert with the realm of a Martial Grandmaster. Sword Saint Dugu Jian truly is a peerless genius.]
[Wang Chao: This mid-level martial world is too terrifying! They can even freeze time and space. I wonder how Xiongba became the number one overlord in their world.]
[Qiao Feng of the Beggars' Sect: I can't wait to witness the Sword Saint's demeanor!]
[Zixia, the Gentleman's Sword: You won't be able to see it. Didn't Jiang Li say that Sword Saint Dugu Jian hasn't even created Sword Technique 23 yet!]
[Li Xunhuan of the Little Flying Knife: I regret it. If I had known, I would have followed Jiang Li, even if it meant being shameless.]
Jiang Li, along with Huang Rong and Yaoyue, walked for a while and soon arrived at a wide-open, desolate area.
It was at this moment that the sound of fighting reached their ears.
After walking a bit further, two figures engaged in combat came into view.
The two figures clashed violently, their swords emitting a chaotic energy that tore at the ground.
It was Dugu Jian, the Sword Saint, and Monk Wuxu, a close friend of Wuming, locked in combat.
"Two martial arts grandmasters! Their cultivation isn't any weaker than Xiongba's!"
With Yaoyue's and Huang Rong's discerning eyes, they could naturally assess the cultivators' strength.
In their world, grandmasters were exceedingly rare.
Yet, in this world of Fengyun, within a single day, they had encountered two martial arts grandmasters.
A mid-level martial world truly couldn't compare to a low-level one.
No wonder Xiongba, with his level of cultivation, hadn't yet conquered the world!
"That white-haired man is Sword Saint Dugu Jian!"
"Who wants to try him!"
Jiang Li didn't intend to fight himself.
"Big Brother Jiang Li, let me!"
Huang Rong was eager to try.
She had sword techniques from Peach Blossom Island, so she naturally wanted to spar with Dugu Jian.
"I'll back you up!"
Yaoyue exchanged a glance with Huang Rong, and the two of them rushed into the arena together, instantly separating Sword Saint Dugu and Monk Wuxu!
