Chapter 441: 439. The Gambling Bet That Year
Translator: 549690339
Hearing this, Xie Buxiu was deep in thought.
Although Ying Qingqing was unable to see the details of the competition due to her limited cultivation, she could feel the disharmony between Wang Di and
Xue Haoran.
After hearing Chen Luoyang’s words, she frowned slightly and asked, ‘”‘ It’s not a personal battle, but a competition between the two titans of the Heavenly River and the Blood River to teach their disciples? ”
Chen Luoyang nodded. ” This is a competition that began many years ago. The two parties in the competition are the old Sword Immortal and the Blood River Patriarch, not Wang Di and Xue Haoran.
To put it bluntly, the two people who had just competed were equivalent to the sword in the hands of the old sword immortal and Blood River Patriarch.
The former was to cleanse the evil sword and teach it to become a righteous sword, guiding it to be good.
As for the latter, it is to distort and corrupt the righteous sword into an evil sword, causing it to sink into the sea of blood.”
“The two of them…Or will they eventually walk their own paths?” Ying Qingqing asked.
Xie Buxiu coughed dryly.
He had heard from Tu Shanyi that this was actually the work of this Deputy Patriarch Chen.
Due to the threat and predicament brought by Chen Luoyang in the Divine
Lands, Xue Haoran and Wang Di were forced to exchange sword techniques. They helped each other and broke through their bottlenecks, allowing them to kill their way back to the Mortal World.
If Chen Luoyang hadn’t interfered, both sides would have still won today’s competition.
Wang Di’s Milky Way Sword Technique versus Xue Haoran’s Blood River Sword Technique.
The two of them were competing with their different sword techniques.
Whoever could overcome the disadvantage would win.
At the same time, it also meant that his teacher had won.
It meant that the forging or modification was more successful.
However, after Chen Luoyang intervened, everything was different.
Wang Di and Xue Haoran had both come into contact with sword techniques that were more suitable for them.
As a result, today’s competition had changed.
In a sense, winning became losing.
Of course, it was not intentional.
Under the eyes of the old sword immortal and Blood River Patriarch, it was clear who was going easy and who was going all out.
However, in today’s battle, the victor between Wang Di and Xue Haoran meant the defeat of the person behind him.
Failure in teaching, or in other words, transformation.
After Wang Di returned to the Mortal World from the Divine Lands, the Heavenly River was indeed in a mess. There was an endless debate.
In the end, Wang Di was brought back to the Heavenly River to cultivate in seclusion, as if he was under house arrest.
His cultivation was not crippled, but he began to “melt”.
During this period of time, he had been suppressing and resisting the temptation of the Blood River Sword Principle.
Under the guidance of the old sword immortal, Wang Di tried to return to the Milky Way Sword Principle, allowing the Milky Way Sword to dominate and suppress the Blood River Sword.
At the very least, it would not allow the Blood River Sword Intent to grow any further.
Today, he had lost to Xue Haoran not because he was not as outstanding as his opponent, but because he refused to continue improving through the Blood River Sword.
He couldn’t force it, he needed to work hard.
The final result proved that his ability to resist the temptation of the Blood River was stronger than Xue Haoran’s.
It could be said that Xue Haoran’s desire for the righteous path was even stronger, and Blood River Patriarch was ultimately unable to corrupt the sword.
As for the old sword immortal, he had successfully cleansed the evil sword, resisted the temptation of the evil path, and stopped the decline. “Therefore, the person who won today’s competition lost the previous competition.” Ying Qingqing let out a long breath.
Chen Luoyang looked into the distance and saw a vortex suddenly appear in the sea of blood.
Two figures appeared in the vortex.
They were two old people, and they looked like an old couple. They were ignorant and timid, completely unaware of the situation around them, and they looked trembling with fear.
They looked like a pair of ordinary people without any cultivation. However, when Xue Haoran saw the pair of old men, a hint of suppressed excitement appeared on his face.
Patriarch Blood River’s voice rang out from the sea of blood.
“If you’re willing to bet, you must admit defeat. I’ll leave him to you.”
The old couple landed in front of Xue Haoran.
Xue Haoran took a deep breath and restrained his emotions. He caught the old man steadily and looked at the sea of blood above him cautiously. He bowed to the Blood Sea, then brought the two old men down to the Heavenly River.
Seeing this, the surrounding spectators were all deep in thought.
” It seems like they are Xue Haoran’s parents. ” Xie Buxiu smacked his lips and said.
” Yes. ” Ying Qingqing nodded silently. ” Old Sword Immortal agreed to such a bet. On one hand, it’s for the royal land. On the other hand, it’s also for Xue Haoran’s family? ‘
Chen Luoyang crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at the confrontation between the Heavenly River and the Blood Sea in the distance.
“Xue Haoran, do you mean you want to join the Heavenly River? Now that his parents are back, his only worry is gone.” Xie Buxiu said, ” Wang Di has also gone back. The Heavenly River has earned a genius heir for nothing. Hmm…” It can’t be said that it was a free profit. If Wang Di didn’t lose so bravely, the old sword immortal wouldn’t have won this round.”
Although it sounded a little strange, the result of today’s martial arts competition could indeed be said to be a very good loss.
However, Chen Luoyang looked at the royal land that had fallen into the Heavenly River and sneered in his heart.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had used the black pot to investigate this fellow’s life experiences, he would also have been fooled by the other party.
This Wang fellow had been secretly looking for an opportunity to learn the Blood River Sword Dao a few years ago.
Some of the things he had done were not very aboveboard.
It was hard to say how effective the old sword immortal’s correction was.
It was just that this fellow was extremely cautious and did not take risks easily, so there was no stain on the surface.
Although the Great Sword of Moments was quite unique in the Heavenly River lineage, it was only unique in terms of swordsmanship cultivation. He had created the Earth Sword by comprehending the Book of Heavenly Sword.
In everyone’s eyes, Wang Di’s style of doing things was no different from most of the Sky River Descendants.
He was far from being like Xue Haoran, who was a maverick in the Blood River.
But in private, that was not the case at all.
He and Xue Haoran were like the two fish eyes of the Yin-Yang fish in the Taiji Diagram, incompatible with each other.
Today’s competition seemed to determine the victor of the battle between the old sword immortal and Blood River Patriarch, but it was probably just the beginning…Chen Luoyang thought to himself.
He updated the information about the land in the white jade bottle and paid attention to the new changes in the other party’s life experiences.
At the same time, the battle between the Heavenly River and the Blood Sea officially erupted.
“The warm-up is over. Let’s see the real show.”
In the sea of blood, Patriarch Blood River’s voice was as calm as ever. There was no fluctuation in his voice at all. He was not bothered by the defeat just now.
As the sea of blood surged, it began to press down on the celestial mountain shrouded by the celestial river.
The old sword immortal responded calmly and blocked the sea of blood.
The Blood Sea’s aura was ferocious, but it was not chaotic. It moved step by step, steadily and steadily, constantly forcing the Heavenly River to retreat.
The old sword immortal was injured and could not fight for long.
It seemed like he could still hold on, but the longer he dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
After a while, silver stars began to rise from the celestial river one after another.
There were a total of 28 silver stars. They were like 28 sea-stabilizing needles that firmly stabilized the waves of the Heavenly River. At the same time, they were like pillars that supported the sky, helping the Heavenly River stabilize its footsteps and resist the pressure of the Blood Sea. “You’re using your trump card so quickly?”
Blood River said calmly.
In the sea of blood, Chen Luoyang, who had transformed into Xue Antian, suddenly raised his eyebrows.
He looked into the distance and saw Blood River Patriarch raise his hand. His sword intent seemed to have changed.
While the blood sea was suppressing the celestial river, another terrifying and brutal sword will emerged from the blood sea.
Chen Luoyang wasn’t unfamiliar with this sword intent.
When he was in the Divine Lands, he had once brushed past him.
It was the Supreme Sword, Xie Xingmang, the fourth disciple of Tao WangJi. It was one of the twelve Nether Swords.
Even though Jie Xingmang’s Absolute Sword had transformed, it could not be said to be the true Nether Sword Technique.
At that time, it could only be considered a prototype.
But now that it had reappeared in the hands of Blood River Patriarch, it was completely different.
It was like the difference between a firefly and the sun and the moon.
Although he could clearly feel that they were of the same origin, compared to the embryonic form from back then, this sword had gradually matured and began to truly demonstrate the viciousness and brutality of the Nether Sword Art.
Chen Luoyang couldn’t even sense any bloody killing intent from this sword.
There was a terrifying intent domain that could sever all living beings and exterminate all living beings.
There was no blood.
Instead, it was a great terror that would directly turn him into ashes.
The old sword immortal in the celestial river was alerted by Blood River Patriarch’s first move.
The old man’s gaze was fixed on his old enemy who had been fighting for a thousand years.
At this time, verbal reprimands and questions were no longer needed.
There was only determination in the old sword immortal’s eyes.
Blood River Ancestor was even calmer, as if he was just brewing a new pot of tea for an old guest.
This sword strike landed effortlessly.
The white sword energy looked like a wisp of smoke.
However, when the sword Qi landed, it split the water of the Heavenly River.
The Heavenly River was already under great pressure from resisting the Blood Sea, and it was already overwhelmed by the pressure.
Wherever the white sword Qi passed by, if one looked carefully, they would find that the river water was not split apart. Instead, the river water that came into contact with the white Qi was directly obliterated and disappeared.
The celestial river was cut off by the white sword Qi.
The Sword Qi swept through the formation, and the 28 silver stars were no longer stable.
The white sword Qi flashed and destroyed a few silver stars.
The sword qi was endless, shuttling back and forth like a dragon king stirring up the sea, shattering the celestial river.
The formation protecting the mountain began to collapse.
The expressions of the surrounding spectators became serious.
The current Blood River Patriarch was quite skilled at breaking formations…
Those who recognized Blood River’s Supreme Sword had mixed feelings.
Xie Xingmang could be considered a descendant of the Heavenly River to a certain extent.
But now, this sword technique had helped his mortal enemy, the Blood River, break through the Heavenly River’s own formation.
The celestial river was about to collapse, and the sea of blood immediately pressed down.
The surrounding world was engulfed by a blood-red color.
However, a dragon’s roar suddenly sounded from the Celestial River Formation, which seemed to have been waiting for fatigue. A purple palm stretched out from it.
Patriarch Blood River did not seem surprised. As the sea of blood surged, countless crimson lights swirled and collided with the purple palm..
