Chapter 583 Want to learn? I'll teach you!
Jiang Hao watched as Mo Qi and the other two fought desperately, breaking through their predicament. He smiled slightly and nodded gently.
"Indeed, the Seven Ancient Kings were able to awe the ages, and it was the two of you who truly carried the torch."
"With such talent and such fighting spirit, he is worthy of the great reputation of the ancient monarchs."
The performances of Mo Qi and Chu Bawang are consistent with the characteristics of the world's top powerhouses: they love fighting, are not afraid of the strong, and can break through their limits in desperate situations.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao slowly raised the iron longsword in his hand once again.
The blades flashed, their light vast and boundless, like an inverted Milky Way or a cascading waterfall.
With a single slash, the world changed color.
This single strike locks in the past, present, and future, freezing the very fabric of heaven and earth.
Boom!
An invisible blade of energy overturned the entire space-time continuum.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?!"
The King of Chu's pupils suddenly contracted; he had finally seen the blade.
But it was even more desperate. The blades were everywhere, slashing from the past, slashing from the future, slashing from every corner of the world at the same time.
He had nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide. He had fought countless bloody battles throughout the ancient times, experienced the crushing force of the heavens and the life-or-death situation, but he had never seen an attack with such terrifying sealing power.
"This is……"
Mo Qi, standing to the side, trembled violently. As a swordsman who had been obsessed with swordsmanship for half his life, the shock he felt upon seeing this strike was far more intense than that of Chu Bawang.
He stared intently at the vast and boundless blade of light, his very soul trembling and pounding.
This strike conceals countless profound principles of swordsmanship; beneath its unassuming exterior lies an unparalleled sharpness that can crush all ages.
He had never seen such a stunning and terrifying strike.
Within the flashing blade, fragments of time danced, Dao runes rose and fell, and the cycle of life and death appeared and disappeared. This was not a blade, but the Dao itself.
It was the ultimate realm of swordsmanship that he had dreamed of for countless years.
Amazement, envy, and despair intertwined and entangled his mind. He knew that his life's work in the art of the sword was as insignificant as dust in the face of this one strike.
"So... a knife can be used like this..."
Mo Qi muttered to himself, his eyes filled with ecstasy, not fear.
"To encounter this blade, I would die without regret."
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding that with their combined strength, they absolutely could not withstand this strike.
But their inherent pride and fighting spirit, that belonged to the ancient monarchs, did not allow them to retreat even a little.
The King of Chu gripped his halberd tightly, his golden fighting spirit soaring into the sky.
Mo Qi gripped the Despair Demon Blade, and dark demonic energy surged like a tide.
The two roared simultaneously.
"war!"
They rushed forward.
The veins on Xiang Yu's arms bulged as he gripped the Overlord's Divine Halberd tightly, unleashing the Reversal of Heaven and Earth Technique once more, disregarding the cost.
Mo Qi gritted his teeth and poured all the remaining power of despair into the Despair Demon Blade. The pitch-black blade trembled and roared, using all his strength to fight to the death against this supreme blade light.
Clang!
A resounding clang of metal clashing echoed through the chaotic void, shattering the chaos where the three stood.
The overwhelming power that Chu Bawang unleashed at its peak instantly vanished, causing a massive tremor in the divine realm. He coughed up blood again, and the Dao patterns on his body shattered.
Mo Qi's most powerful and desperate strike of his life vanished into thin air under absolute crushing force, the blade trembling incessantly, nearly shattering.
Both of them crashed heavily into the void at the same time, completely exhausted and powerless. They had lost, utterly and completely lost.
A moment of deathly silence fell over the entire venue, followed by a chorus of gasps of astonishment.
"He won! Jiang Zu won! He crushed two peak Heavenly Realm experts with a single move!"
"Jiang Zu is invincible! Jiang Zu is invincible for all eternity!"
Countless cultivators were moved to tears, kneeling and kowtowing. Even the god-kings and god-emperors disregarded their status and raised their arms in triumph.
Chen Bei and Xiao Yu knelt on the ground, their bodies covered in wounds, but their eyes were full of light.
Xiao Yu murmured, "Senior Jiang... is too strong. That strike was terrifying."
Chen Bei nodded, and the two exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock and admiration in each other's eyes.
Matsuzaka and his four companions stared in disbelief, their faces ashen. "This...is this right?"
They are now filled with despair; the miracle they were hoping for has not happened.
Above the void, the King of Chu slowly propped himself up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were no longer filled with resentment, but with utter awe and shock.
"Your strength... is too terrifying. The legendary Heaven-Defying level, though surpassing the Heavenly Rank, is not so invincible."
"So, senior... are you really only at the 'heaven-defying' level?"
Jiang Hao stood in the sky, his black hair fluttering in the wind, and smiled faintly as he looked at the two ancient monarchs who were shocked and puzzled.
I guess so.
The two were startled at the same time, their hearts filled with confusion. The realms of cultivation were clearly distinct; if it was, it was, and if it wasn't, it wasn't. So how could it be considered as such?
Although the two were full of doubts, they did not ask any further questions.
Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, took a deep breath, raised his head, and said frankly, "We are inferior in skill and we are convinced of our inferiority. Now that we are in your hands, your decision to kill or spare us is entirely up to you. We have no complaints whatsoever."
The demon nodded. "Me too."
Jiang Hao's gaze swept calmly over the two of them, without the slightest hint of killing intent.
"In the past, you were invited by Dugu Baitian to don armor and fight against the heavens, risking your lives for the common people. You have made contributions to the world for all time, so I will not kill you."
Jiang Hao understood that the true enemy of this world was never the powerful beings among the masses, but rather the Heavenly Dao, which was high above and could manipulate all living beings at will.
Jiang Hao's lips curled into a slight smile. "Do you want to learn the new method? If so, I'll teach you."
King Xiang Yu's eyes widened, and Mo Qi suddenly raised his head.
His eyes were filled with unbelievable ecstasy.
"Your Excellency...is Your Excellency's statement truly true?" The voice of the King of Chu trembled.
Jiang Hao nodded: "Really."
Mo Qi suddenly stood up, ignoring his injuries, and bowed deeply with his fists clasped.
"Your magnanimity is truly admirable; it has never been seen before!"
They were so excited they couldn't express it in words. They had just thought they were going to die, but now not only were their lives spared, this supreme being was even willing to personally impart the supreme new Dharma!
This happiness came too suddenly.
The two men trembled slightly, and immediately bowed deeply in gratitude. Chu Bawang expressed his heartfelt thanks.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, senior. Thank you for bestowing the Dharma upon us. We will remember your kindness forever. From now on, if you ever need our help, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Mo Qi thought for a moment, then said, "Me too."
The other five kings also got up, their faces full of excitement, and clasped their fists in greeting.
They were overjoyed, never expecting such an unexpected surprise.
Jiang Hao raised his hand, and several beams of spiritual light flew from his fingertips and entered the bodies of the seven people.
"Cultivate diligently, and in time, make a contribution to this world."
The seven nodded vigorously, their eyes filled with gratitude.
King Xiang Yu clenched his fist: "Rest assured, senior, we will certainly live up to your expectations."
Mo Qi didn't speak, but simply held the Despair Demon Blade horizontally in front of him and bowed deeply to Jiang Hao, which was the highest respect a swordsman could show.
A spiritual light entered their bodies, and the seven people closed their eyes to sense it.
A moment later, Songchengbu opened his eyes, his face filled with shock. "This... what kind of technique is this? My Heavenly Rank foundation can actually be expanded?"
Another king murmured, "Unheard of, unseen. The potential of this technique far surpasses all I have cultivated in my entire life."
Chu Bawang opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. He clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "Excellent! This is truly a supreme technique, a supreme cultivation method! With this method, reaching the heavens is no longer a dream!"
Although they only glanced at it briefly, they could feel how powerful the cultivation method that Senior Jiang had passed on to them was; it far surpassed their current cultivation methods.
Mo Qi slowly opened his eyes, looked down at his hands, and the Despair Demon Blade hummed and trembled beside him, as if cheering.
His voice was deep, yet filled with barely suppressed excitement:
"Your Excellency bestowed upon me this power, a kindness akin to being reborn. In this life, I, Mo Qi, am willing to be the blade in your hand, to slay all enemies."
