If the heart is free, there is no match on earth.
Many of the younger generation from the Southwest Path have developed a free spirit due to facing dire circumstances.
Sword Immortals wield their blades in the heavens, while men of the world enjoy their freedom on earth.
“I’ll shake the heavens with one finger…”
Lei Meng Sha's Divine Shock Finger was at its peak, he roared with anger, ready to shatter the air with one finger, break the deadlock, and reverse the situation, but he found that the flying swords had arrived and could only point at the swords flying towards him.
Amidst the clanging sound of collisions, the light of thunder and the light of swords intertwined.
“Bang!!”
The Divine Shock Finger, which was at its peak, managed to knock away two flying swords with its third strike. However, the third sword tore through the thunder light, and under Lei Meng Sha’s bewildered gaze, he hastily used his Fire Thunder Fist to meet the attack head-on. He was propelled backward for dozens of meters before barely stopping.
As he wanted to fight again, he discovered that four flying swords were present – one hovered less than half a foot from his brow, and the other three pointed at his vital points, causing Lei Meng Sha to instantly stop any further movement.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously.
Within Lei Meng Sha’s line of sight, the young talents of the Southwest Path, including Zhang Dan Feng and Mo Qian Chou, swung their long swords till they were smoking, and they could only barely knock away or deflect one or two flying swords. Soon, they were defeated.
“Number Three in the World!!”
Xiao Ruofeng roared with anger, his sword held horizontally in front of him. A large patch of dazzling green sword light splashed out in all directions, attempting to shake a corner of the rain of ten thousand swords.
Many flying swords were swept away by the sword energy wherever it passed.
Xiao Ruofeng gripped the Hao Que Sword, which followed close behind. The long sword in his hand moved like a dragon, its power reaching its peak.
Sadly, it was one thing after another, three things after two.
He wasn’t facing one or two flying swords, but… ten thousand!
In just a moment, the sword energy of the Number Three in the World was scattered, and a streak of white sword light slashed across his temple, cutting off a few strands of hair. Xiao Ruofeng stood stunned, holding the Hao Que Sword. He wasn’t exhausted yet, he could still fight.
However, Xiao Ruofeng also knew that if Wen Nantian hadn’t held back, the flying sword that had caught him off guard would have already severed his head.
He had lost.
On the other side, with the force of the Gu Sword Sect cooperating, Liu Yue led the way, Luo Xuan provided support, and Su Mu Yu's “Sudden Whirlwind and Drenching Rain” displayed incredibly dazzling results. They bravely advanced thirteen steps under the assault of countless flying swords.
“This sword energy fills the heavens and earth. You want to take advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack, how naive.”
Wen Nantian stood in the air and chuckled softly at nothing, before instantly disappearing. He then suddenly swung the peach branch in his hand towards a blank space: “Down.”
Bang!!
Su Chang He, whose Inch-Finger Swordsmanship was exquisite, could only use the incredibly sharp dagger in his hand to block. He was then smashed into the ground like a cannonball by Wen Nantian’s peach branch.
“Phew, you almost got away with it.”
“Before entering Great Freedom, I can’t be so reckless.”
Wen Nantian’s hand, which was holding the peach branch, trembled slightly. He almost couldn’t hold back, causing his true energy to explode. Using the swords of the entire city to fight was still too much for him now. Although he had stepped into the Soaring Realm, controlling the swords with his heart wouldn’t consume much true energy, but controlling the power of the flying swords would exhaust his mind immensely.
The people below only saw his imposing and invincible Sword Immortal posture.
But they didn’t know that Wen Nantian was actually at the end of his rope.
But since he was putting on this act, he had to act it through. Even if he gritted his teeth, he couldn’t reveal his weakness in front of everyone. Su Chang He, who thought he was clever, just happened to run into a gun barrel.
A fierce glint flashed in Wen Nantian’s pupils: “Make it quick!”
He raised his hand and pointed, his peach branch’s shadow fell, ten thousand swords roared, and a stream of white sword light swept through like a waterfall. Liu Yue, who had taken a step into the Understanding of Freedom, was the first to bear the brunt of the attack.
He could block a few flying swords, he could even block ten or twenty flying swords.
But, what about two or three hundred flying swords?
Looking at the torrent of flying swords that were rushing towards him like a dragon of swords, Liu Yue turned and ran.
The rest of the flying swords also converged into a torrent, no longer attacking randomly. In the face of dozens, even hundreds of flying swords, “Sudden Whirlwind and Drenching Rain” and “Soaring Heaven Realm” were merely pathetic jokes.
In just a moment, besides the flying swords that were planted in the ground,
The entire field was left with Wen Nantian, who landed gracefully without a speck of dust, Bai Li Dong Jun who was gaping in shock, and a prime minister’s son, Xie Xuan, who couldn’t fight.
“Not bad, still acceptable.”
Wen Nantian nodded slightly towards the ‘bodies scattered everywhere’. The first two words were for the eight young masters of Bei Li, the Dark River, Su Mu Yu, Su Chang He, and a few others who had performed well.
The last two words were a compliment to the young talents of the Southwest Path.
In the battle just now, three or four geniuses from the Southwest Path had broken through to the Free Spirit Realm from the Diamond Mortal Realm under extreme circumstances.
Those who had performed poorly and showed no fighting spirit were even more numerous.
“I’m honored to have received your guidance.”
“Thank you, Young Master Nantian, for sparing my life.”
“Phew, I survived. Thank you, Young Master Nantian.”
“It’s my honor to see a Sword Immortal command ten thousand swords.”
“I’m Jin Xiaoyan, I wish to become your disciple by defeating you, please, Master, grant me this opportunity.”
The miserable and battered people on the ground slowly got up and thanked Wen Nantian, and many of them directly bowed their heads to him, ready to become his disciples on the spot. Wen Nantian simply pretended not to see them.
“This swordsmanship is truly unparalleled.”
“Yes, controlling ten thousand swords, even the legendary Sword Immortals are no match for this.”
“Thank you, Young Master Nantian, for sparing my life.”
“I, Lei Meng Sha, admit defeat, I yield.”
Xiao Ruofeng, Lei Meng Sha, Liu Yue, and others all bowed in thanks.
They all knew that during their fight, Wen Nantian had countless opportunities to kill them. If Wen Nantian hadn’t been magnanimous and hadn’t cared about their prior schemes, they would have already been splattered across the ground.
In Wen Nantian, they truly realized what it meant to underestimate the heroes of the world.
“If the heart is free, there is no match on earth. The world isn’t enough, the heavens are for freedom. Free Spirit Realm and Soaring Heaven Realm are merely the beginning. I hope that one day, we will meet again at the peak.” Wen Nantian smiled slightly, waved at them, and turned to leave gracefully in the darkness.
“Brother, wait for us.”
Bai Li Dong Jun woke up from his dreamlike daze, shouted in surprise, and quickly followed.
“Meet again at the peak?”
Su Mu Yu and Su Chang He looked at each other, exchanged greetings with the Gu Sword Sect, and turned to leave.
“Yes, see you at the peak!”
Liu Yue, Lei Meng Sha, Xiao Ruofeng, Luo Xuan, and the others looked at Wen Nantian’s departing figure, their eyes filled with anticipation. Although they had lost today, it didn’t mean they would always lose. One day, they would, as Wen Nantian said, meet him again at the peak, and fight again.
The future is the world of the young, and it is also their world.
Those who can meet Wen Nantian at the peak will naturally only be them, and they will certainly have a place there.
