Chapter 23 The Fluttering Heart of Li Hanyi
Jiang Che nodded thoughtfully before continuing:
“I have a technique called Heaven’s Sword. Watch closely.”
“How much you can comprehend depends entirely on your own fortune.”
“What?”
Li Hanyi looked puzzled and was about to ask more when she noticed Jiang Che’s demeanor suddenly change.
If Jiang Che had previously resembled an ethereal immortal, he now embodied the sharpness of a peerless sword!
Witnessing this transformation, Li Hanyi’s mind went blank.
As a swordswoman, she immediately understood the significance of this shift.
Jiang Che had achieved the fabled state of unity between man and sword—the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
“Heaven’s Sword!”
Jiang Che infused his entire being with Five Elements spiritual energy, channeling it into the Seven-Star Abyss Dragon Sword.
The sword trembled uncontrollably, as if expressing its excitement.
With a single swing, Jiang Che slashed toward the heavens!
Li Hanyi’s eyes widened as she stared, transfixed by the sword energy streaking through the sky.
This strike—breathtakingly beautiful, dazzlingly brilliant—resonated with the mountains, rivers, and even the protective moat of Snow Moon City thousands of meters away.
The entire region’s mountains echoed in harmony with the sword energy.
Li Hanyi stood stunned, her scalp tingling as if something deep within her had been powerfully stirred.
Her heart raced. Within that strike, she seemed to glimpse the future path of her swordsmanship.
The colossal sword energy stretched thousands of meters, blotting out the blazing sun.
Above the Nine Heavens, storm clouds churned as colorful clouds descended.
The sword light swept across the skies over Snow Moon City, witnessed by everyone within.
Countless swordsmen shivered, overcome with awe and fear.
“To think I once called myself a master of swordsmanship. With such swordsmanship in the world, how could I dare?”
One swordsman chuckled bitterly, discarding his blade as his spirit collapsed.
Muttering to herself, Yin Luoxia’s curiosity about Jiang Che deepened.
She had always suspected he practiced some immortal techniques but had never imagined his swordsmanship was so terrifyingly advanced!
He had already reached the summit of mastery.
In that moment, Yin Luoxia made up her mind.
She would find a way to uncover Jiang Che’s secrets one day!
...
In the City Lord’s Mansion.
Sikong Changfeng was haggling with his daughter, Sikong Qianluo, when the sword light streaked across the sky.
Seeing the sword light, Sikong Changfeng’s expression turned dazed for a moment.
Soon after, a realization dawned on him, leaving his expression deeply conflicted.
“To think that brat’s swordsmanship is so heaven-defying...”
He knew that strike could only be Jiang Che’s.
It was now clear that during their duel at Erhai Lake, Jiang Che had held back.
It was hard to fathom who could possibly withstand such a strike.
A master of unity with heaven?
Or perhaps a legendary practitioner of the Immortal Heavenly Dao?
“Father, stop calling Brother Che a brat!”
Sikong Qianluo pouted, hands on her hips, her fair little face puffed up with discontent.
“My dear daughter...”
Sikong Changfeng’s mouth twitched, feeling utterly exasperated.
He genuinely couldn’t understand Jiang Che’s charm.
How had this rascal managed to turn his precious daughter into such a state after just a few days?
Where was this headed?
Sikong Changfeng was genuinely worried his darling girl might throw herself at Jiang Che someday.
What was so great about this brat, anyway?
Sure, he was a little handsome, a little skilled, and a little brilliant in medicine...
