It was already late today. Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to go to the city center. He went to the inn with the waiter. Along the way, the waiter was very enthusiastic. He smiled and said, “Little Childe looks extraordinary. Is he here for the Emperor’s sword discussion in three days’ time?”

Xiao Chen glanced at him and asked, “How much do you know about the sword?” As he spoke, he took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over.

The waiter took the silver and became even more enthusiastic. He smiled and said, “Childe is not in a hurry. The little one will tidy up Childe’s room first and then tell Childe slowly.”

It wasn’t until dusk that the waiter finished talking about all the recent matters regarding swordsmanship. It turned out that the person who had set up the swordsmanship gathering here was the disciple of Sect Leader Tai Shi Dao Sect. His name was Tang Xinhai. His cultivation was unfathomable, and his swordsmanship was even more unmatched.

During this period of time, there were many cultivators from various sects. However, no one from any sect was able to defeat them within seven moves. This person could be said to be extremely terrifying. Even many figures from the older generation were no longer their opponents, let alone the disciples below. They could hardly even take three moves.

At noon today, Tang Xinhai suddenly said that the final “Emperor’s Discussion on the Sword” would begin in three days, and that both the Righteous and the Devil Dao could come and participate.

The moment these words were spoken, it immediately caused a sensation. The news was like a wildfire that spread throughout the Immortal Origin Five Regions in an instant. It even faintly overwhelmed the sound of 100,000 treasures appearing in the dense forest not long ago. In the next three days, more people were likely to come to the Imperial Continent.

Night fell quietly. Xiao Chen stood by the windowsill and looked at the quiet night sky in the middle of the city. His back did not move at all.

…

Three days passed like this. Sure enough, there were three times as many people from the Imperial Continent these three days as there were from the previous few days. The entire Imperial Continent was now a sea of people.

As cultivators gathered in all directions, there was naturally no avoiding conflict. Jiang Yutian was helpless and had to give the order overnight, forbidding private battles in the city, nor could he use his sword in the city, so as to avoid colliding with the defensive sword formation in the sky.

On this day, everyone went to the middle city. The other districts of the Imperial Continent were already empty alleys, and Xiao Chen had also quietly arrived at the middle city.

On the east side of the central city was the statue of the emperor, and on the west side was a sword platform. At the center of the sword platform was a hundred zhang sword that could swallow the wind and clouds. Around the main sword, there were four other swords that were slightly lower.

This Sword Arena was the Land of Swords. In the past month, countless people had been defeated by the giant sword. Today’s Emperor’s Sword Discussion was even more impressive.

The cold wind howled wildly. Above the main sword of the sword platform, there was a figure sitting on the hilt of the sword. That person was dressed in green and moved with the wind. There was a red sword mark between his eyebrows, but his three parts of righteousness were emitting seven parts of evil energy.

At this moment, he could only see his left hand supporting his forehead, his eyes gently closed, and he actually turned a blind eye to the heroes beneath him.

This person was Tang Xinhai, and he had a title called “Sword Maniac”.

The madness in the sword was qualified to take on this title. If his sword was described in a single word, it would be-madness!

“What a sword maniac! I’m here today to see how mad the word’mad ‘can be!”

Just as the crowd was discussing endlessly, a cold roar suddenly pierced through the sky. Suddenly, a sword light flew towards the sword platform in the southeast direction.

It was an old man dressed in purple robes. His castration surged, causing the clouds to instantly dissipate. His cultivation was so high that he must have become a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator.

The sword in his hand was even sharper than before, as if it was emitting a cold light that could seize one’s mind. There were countless profound sects in the Immortal Origin Five Regions, so this person must be a grandmaster of a certain sword sect!

The sword was getting closer and closer, but Tang Xinhai didn’t move a single bit. Thousand zhang … Thousand zhang … Ten zhang!

“You’re not worthy!”

Just as everyone’s hearts were hanging on the line, Tang Xinhai finally opened his eyes. There were actually two eyes that looked down on the world!

These two gazes instantly caused the purple-robed old man’s heart to tremble. Before the sword arrived, his momentum had already retreated. Following that, Tang Xinhai waved his two fingers and a streak of sword qi flew out. With a “bang”, the purple-robed old man spat out blood and flew back.

“Senior Brother!”

A figure immediately flew up from below. It was an old woman in purple. The old woman glared at Tang Xinhai hatefully. She wanted to rush forward. The purple-robed old man reached out and pulled her. He said with a mouthful of blood, “Junior Sister, don’t go. This person is even more powerful than I imagined!”

Tang Xinhai brushed his sleeves coldly and sat back down on the hilt of the sword. He closed his eyes and said coldly, “Next.”

“Sword Maniac … What a madness! My seven fellow disciples are not talented, so I’m here today to experience it as well!”

Right at this moment, seven more figures flew over from afar. The auras of these seven people weren’t weak, and their cultivation levels were presumably very high.

“Then let’s go together!”

Tang Xinhai’s eyes opened, and his entire body trembled. An aura surged out, causing the seven of them to violently shake in midair.

The seven of them knew that this person was powerful, so they didn’t dare to let down their guard. They could only join hands to attack.

However, Tang Xinhai was able to handle the storm of attacks from the seven of them. Even the giant sword hadn’t even taken half a step back. It was like thunder and lightning. Three people had been injured in the blink of an eye.

“Not able to withstand a single blow!”

Tang Xinhai hadn’t even unsheathed his sword. He swung his sword three times in a row. The three strands of sword qi were like violent winds and waves. In the end, the remaining four people were unable to withstand it and were sent flying.

“Who else!”

Tang Xinhai flicked his sleeves and glared at the crowd below. Not long after, another person flew up. However, those who flew up to challenge him were all beaten down again. This continued for a long time, and none of them were able to attack him from the hilt of the sword. Not even his sword had been unsheathed.

Most of the people who came to participate in the Emperor’s Sword Discussion today were old men with extraordinary cultivation. No one from the disciples’ generation dared to challenge them. Not to mention three moves, they probably wouldn’t be able to withstand a single sword strike.

The crowd was silent for a long time. This time, no one was going to challenge him again. Tang Xinhai was a bit crazy, but he was still only a member of the younger generation. Most of the people present today were famous figures from the Xuanmen Sect. If they all went up to challenge a junior, even if they won, it would be disgraceful. If they lost, it would be even more shameful.

Everyone began to discuss. Even the older generation was no match for this person. Among the younger generation, apart from Qianyu Nichang, who else could resist this person’s sharpness? However, the people from Xuanqing Sect didn’t seem to have come today.

“Do you think … that Xiao Yichen will come?”

“Xiao Yichen … That’s right! How did I forget this person?”

“But, that Xiao Yichen … is he still considered a person from Xuanqing Sect?”

“Didn’t you say? Today, regardless of whether it’s the Righteous or the Demonic Dao, you can come …”

The discussions in the crowd grew louder and louder. Originally, many people were still discussing whether Qianyu Nichang would come to the Imperial Continent today, but gradually, they began to discuss whether Xiao Chen would come today.

Tang Xinhai was still sitting on the hilt of the sword, his eyes closed. After an unknown amount of time, a gust of wind blew over. The sword in his hand trembled at this moment.

“Finally … are you here?”

At this moment, Tang Xinhai opened his eyes. Both of them were crimson red as blood, staring at the statue of a hundred zhang emperor in the east without moving at all.
