Chapter 4204: Void Saint Child
The possibility of a fight between Ling Jian and Peace Ocean Sword King excited the crowd.
âWho will win?â One cultivator asked.
âI would bet on Peace Ocean Sword King.â An expert quietly said: âTalent-wise, heâs peerless in his generation and the previous. Moreover, he has two sword dao, they should overwhelm Sect Master Ling.â
âYou think so?â A last-gen member shook her head: âSect Master Ling also has a heavenly dao - War God. Itâs heaven-defying and perfect for battle. He has the experience advantage too, his energy should also be denser.â
âTrue.â One ancestor joined in: âPlus, itâs a fight only for three hundred moves, it wonât be easy for the king to win within this limit. It would be harder to guess without this rule.â
The crowd members spoke hushedly since this pertained to two top masters. No one wanted to offend them.
âDo you wish to get involved in this mess, Sect Master Ling?â Peace Ocean remained calm after receiving a direct challenge. His dignified demeanor and style were natural, not learned. Because of this, everyone felt a strange pressure while being in his presence.
âWhat choice do I have? Sea Emperor Sword King has shown its stance after blocking access to the island. We have no choice but to act.â Ling Jian said flatly.
He said what was on the crowdâs mind. They were just too afraid to speak up out of fear. This was the way of Daoist Sword Ground - unyielding even before the strongest sect.
âDaoist Sword Ground has a rich history with admirable sages.â The king said: âIts power is also renowned and recognized by the world. However, Sect Master Ling, this wasnât my sectâs decision alone, you need to think carefully before rushing into this region.â
He reminded the sect master about the alliance between his sect and Nine-wheel Citadel. Daoist Sword Ground stood no chance against both.
Others took a deep breath, realizing that he was merely speaking the truth.
âWeâll see about that.â Ling Jian had a serious expression but didnât relent.
It seemed that Daoist Sword Ground was ready to take the risk. The crowd found this quite impressive.
âAre you sure you know what youâre doing, Sect Master Ling?â Sword rays and thunder flashed in the kingâs eyes as he became serious as well.
âCount us in too.â A third party interjected before a majestic aura manifested next to Ling Jian.
A middle-aged man appeared in that spot, wearing a violet robe. He appeared graceful and well-mannered in spite of his sharp and bright eyes. One would think that he was a mortal scholar before a cultivator.
âFlame Valley Lord!â Others recognized him right away.
âHmm, heâs supporting Sect Master Ling.â Another expert found this surprising.
âTheyâre in the same group and always had a close relationship.â An older cultivator had more insight to add.
âAll six Sect Masters are quite close since theyâre in charge and need to keep a good relationship with each other.â An ancestor added.
âIs this going to be a battle between the sect masters and the kings?â Another joined in.
âWho knows?â A king from an old dynasty shook his head: âThe only new members of the six kings are Peace Ocean and Void Saint Child, the other four are from the previous generation. Sect Master Shi of Armament is relatively young too, but all of them are cordial with each other. I donât think thereâll be a fight between the two groups outside of an extraordinary event.â
Everyone agreed with this. They were classified into two different groups by other people. It didnât mean that they had ties or anything.
âFlame Valley Lord.â Peace Oceanâs eyes narrowed after seeing the middle-aged man.
Flame Valley Lord was the current leader for both Flame Valley and Dao Institution. He was a formidable cultivator.
Peace Ocean didnât want to face both at the same time despite being a top expert. These men have earned their reputation.
âLong time no see, Sword King, youâre looking as impressive as ever.â The valley lord smiled.
Though animosity existed, they still spoke cordially with each other.
âYou must enter too, Valley Lord?â Peace Ocean got straight to the point.
âIt looks like Myriad Era will be appearing here or something quite similar. Iâm afraid I canât let you and Nine-wheel Citadel monopolize this place.â The valley lord laughed and stated his intention.
âYes, everyone has the right to at least prove their worth to the divine sword. This barricade is unacceptable.â Other top experts in the crowd agreed with him.
âConfident because you have the number advantage? We wonât be sitting idly by to watch.â A burst of hearty laughter interrupted the crowd.
âBuzz.â Ripples and golden waves appeared not far from Peace Ocean Sword King.
A portal opened and a youth walked out. He was shrouded in a golden radiance, looking like a spatial manipulator master.
Space resembled a river around him. Currents could be seen flowing around his arms. He had the appearance of a warrior, always commanding respect and attention wherever he went.
Similar to Peace Ocean Sword King, the guy seemed to be blessed by the gods at birth.
âVoid Saint Child!â Someone shouted his title.
âNo, he is the Void Sacred Lord now.â A big shot said: âHe has been in charge of Nine-wheel Citadel for two or three years.â
