Chapter 1080: Only 6 years old, just the time for rebellion.
Then, where the sword light had receded, an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in simple hemp clothing, appeared there at some unknown time.
His beard and hair were not the pale white of decay, but a pure silver-white like ancient frost, flowing with a cool radiance, gently swaying even without wind, as if carrying the invisible rhythm of heaven and earth. His face was ancient and gaunt, the wrinkles seeming to be etched with the laws of time and the inscriptions of the way of the sword. Most captivating were his eyes, which, when opened and closed, did not have a piercing glint, but only a chaotic tranquility.
Within that chaos, there seemed to be the extinction of stars and the rotation of the Great Dao, making it impossible to look directly at. It was as if if one looked too long, even one's soul would be sucked into that bottomless abyss of swordsmanship.
Sitting there quietly, I felt as if I had my own world within a three-foot radius.
more importantly.
Everyone could see him, but their divine senses seemed not to detect his presence at all, as if he were right next to them, yet separated by endless time and space.
This person.
He is the number one swordsman in the world today, and also the number one strongest person in the world today.
Sword Saint, Yin Ruozhuo!
Many young people trembled with excitement upon seeing the Sword Saint appear, for he represented the pinnacle of swordsmanship and was the goal that countless people strived to achieve. However, he was rarely seen under normal circumstances, and many people came to the Tianyuan Sword Sect just to catch a glimpse of the Sword Saint's face.
And now, it can be said that his wish has been fulfilled.
only……
While these people were excited, Jiang Jiansi said with a dark face: "Senior Brother, I will immediately report to Master and accuse you of impersonating him and swindling people again!"
"You audacious disciple, are you questioning your master?" The Sword Saint frowned immediately, looking coldly at Jiang Jian Si.
Jiang Jiansi didn't say a word, but directly took out a small sword for sending messages.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do this, Fourth Brother! We're from the same sect, I'm your senior brother, you can't do this!" Upon seeing this thing, the serious expression of the "Invincible Sword Saint" instantly turned into a sheepish grin. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop Jiang Jian Si, and then transformed into the appearance of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy:
"Ahem, just kidding, I'm sure you won't mind, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
With that awkward laugh, everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces blank, some even still in shock.
after all.
In the Tianyuan Sword Sect, this young man actually dared to impersonate a Sword Saint?
How dare they do that?!
The young man, however, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd and said, "Ahem, let me introduce myself. I am Jian Yi from the Tianyuan Sword Sect!"
"Nonsense! Venerable Sword One is at least six thousand years old now. How could he still be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child?" Some people didn't believe it and thought that this person might still be lying. After all, this person was incredibly audacious. He even dared to impersonate the Sword Saint, so it seemed that there was no problem with him impersonating the Sword Saint's eldest disciple.
As soon as he said that, the smile on the young man's face froze, his expression turned long, and he said with great disdain, "I've noticed there's something wrong with how you talk. How can you judge a person by their age first? What, are you discriminating against the elderly? Does being six thousand years old mean you can't be rebellious?"
The man frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "You're talking even more nonsense. Senior Jian Yi, the personal disciple of the Sword Saint, is highly skilled and has a firm Dao heart. He is a top expert with the world in his heart and boundless chivalry. How could he possibly be like you?"
This person is the third strongest on the Heavenly Pride Ranking.
Li Muchen, the swordsman in green robes, possesses immense strength and a high reputation, yet he still cannot hide his reverence when mentioning the Sword Saint's eldest disciple.
Many people were not surprised by this expression. Although the experts on the Heavenly Ranking are world-renowned, the Heavenly Ranking is also a list of geniuses and has age restrictions. In fact, to many powerful people, these experts on the list are just children and naturally have their own idols.
Li Muchen is widely recognized as the most admired prodigy of Tianyuan Jianyi. He has mentioned Tianyuan Jianyi's impressive fighting spirit more than once, and it is said that the blue robe he often wears is based on the image of Jianyi in his mind.
only……
When he said this, the boy almost curled his lips into the sky. Ignoring Li Muchen, he turned to Jiang Jiansi and said smugly, "Little Si, did you see that? This is what charm is. I am your lifelong role model."
"You liar, you still..." Li Muchen was furious, and even couldn't help but want to step forward and teach this imposter a lesson.
But after taking only two steps, he suddenly froze in place.
"that……"
Because Jiang Jiansi had already spoken: "This is indeed my senior brother, Tianyuan Jianyi."
These words shocked the entire audience.
Li Muchen, who regarded this trip to the Sword Sect as a pilgrimage, froze on the spot, as if petrified, dumbfounded.
real……
Really?
Is this the legendary Tianyuan Jianyi, the upright, fearless, arrogant, well-read, and flawless...?
"I understand. The most unbelievable moments are always when disillusionment strikes. I understand you." The young swordsman spoke solemnly to Li Muchen, but his expression only lasted a moment before he became beaming with joy, clutching his stomach and bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious, they've fooled another idiot."
"Back then, I deliberately spread those things, and even I didn't believe them. I never thought that someone would actually believe them, hahahahahaha..."
Li Muchen: ……
Heart died.
My toes are digging into the floor.
I just want to crawl into a hole in the ground.
"Cough cough!"
In the end, it was Jiang Jiansi who, with a kind heart, said with a serious expression, "My senior brother has always been cynical and unusually...rebellious, so he has done many absurd things. But Fellow Daoist Mu Chen was able to establish his convictions based on just some rumors and work hard for them, step by step, to get to where he is today. He is admirable. Fellow Daoist's future achievements will surely be great!"
He spoke with absolute certainty, essentially vindicating Li Muchen in front of all the world's elites. Given his current status and position, saying so was an unparalleled honor.
The premise is...
He managed to hold back his laughter.
Anyway, everyone present wasn't blind. They could clearly see that when Jiang Jiansi said those words, his eyes were constantly wrinkling and twitching wildly, his lips were constantly pursed, and his tone of voice was somewhat distorted. No matter how you looked at it, he was frantically trying to suppress his laughter!
Li Muchen: ...I really want to thank your whole family.
"Alright, alright, relax, relax." Fortunately, Jian Yi flicked his finger slightly, and a beam of azure light suddenly flew out from his hand, then pierced into Li Muchen's brow. Li Muchen was initially on high alert, but the moment the azure light entered his brow, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He then quickly bowed and, without saying a word, sat cross-legged to meditate on his cultivation.
This scene made many people envious.
They could all see that Jian Yi was passing on his skills. Given his status and strength, even the slightest insight he gained would be considered an incredible opportunity.
"Alright, alright, we've taken long enough. Let's get down to business." Young Jianyi, on the other hand, acted as if he had done something insignificant. He turned to Gu Xiu with expectant eyes and said, "Gu boy, hurry up! I finally made it back. Let me see how many candles you can light!"
Upon hearing this, everyone remembered the important matter at hand. Immediately, because of the interruption by Jian Wu and Jian Yi, everyone turned their attention back to Gu Xiu.
Faced with the gazes of the crowd, Gu Xiu, who had been secretly observing the hilt of the sword for a long time, no longer hesitated.
He confidently extended his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword.
All of a sudden!
The originally dark candlelight suddenly lit up, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, creating a wave that spread outwards from him under everyone's gaze.
The last person to cause such a commotion was Ip Man-tien.
but……
Even Ye Wentian took several breaths to complete the process, but Gu Xiu was different; the lit candles spread throughout the entire area in almost three breaths.
Yes, all of them!
A total of 36,571 candles were lit up in unison, under the watchful eyes of everyone!
Without exception, they all burst into flames!
this moment.
The entire Tianyuan Sword Sect was illuminated by those twinkling starlight, leaving no place in darkness!
"Save...the savior?" Someone uttered in disbelief, eliciting gasps of astonishment. They realized what Jiang Jiansi meant by all the candles in the human world lighting up.
The black-robed supreme being, watching this scene, also had bright eyes, full of excitement.
We won!
I finally won back the face I lost!
only……
Just as a smile bloomed on his face, something unexpected happened.
But the candle that had just been lit suddenly seemed to be hit by an indiscernible gale; the flame flickered and danced for a moment, and then went out abruptly.
Top to bottom.
In the blink of an eye, all 36,571 candles lit in the human world were extinguished!
