Chapter 327: Chapter 327 – Historical Legend Vs Modern Legend

After Shi Shenzong descended, the atmosphere around Sword Emperor Canyon became quite lively .

Hundreds of thousands of people were shaken by Shi Shenzong’s aura, and they were all incredibly curious as to just how strong Shi Shenzong was .

With what they had currently sensed, they felt that no one could defeat the Sword Saint .

Time gradually passed, and more and more people arrived .

After another three days, there were more than one million cultivators gathered .

Princess Xuanya stood on her large leaf and looked around as she exclaimed, “So many people . ”

Most of them were not ordinary people either .

If it was her, facing the gazes of so many cultivators, she would not even dare to fight .

Zhou Chengxin also felt quite amazed .

The allure of Sword Emperor Zhou Xuanji’s name was simply too powerful .

Before, Shi Shenzong had challenged other experts, but there had never been a scene like this .

At that moment, Yang Xindi and Great Chen’s Emperor arrived with their people, talking and laughing .

Seeing them, Zhou Chengxin hurriedly got up and welcomed them .

The three Emperors had already formed an alliance through letters, and after Zhou Chengxin invited them into his tent, they started to chat .

The topic was naturally Zhou Xuanji .

“20 years have passed, and the current Xuanji has greatly grown; don’t worry, everyone,” Zhou Chengxin said as he lightly swirled his wine cup .

Zhou Xuanji was terrifying in terms of his talent in the Way of the Sword and cultivation .

It had been many years since he had become second in the world, and now, no one could imagine how powerful he had become .

However, Shi Shenzong was too much of a legend, and his name was synonymous to invincibility in the hearts of the people of the Northern Wilderness .

Despite dying, he had died at his own hands .

Yang Xindi nodded and said, “The Sword Emperor’s talent is unparalleled, but he’s too young . In the future, his strength will definitely surpass Shi Shenzong’s . If he encounters any trouble, our three Empires can do our best to help him . ”

Even though the three Empires did not have any peak level experts, they had their own foundations . If they rushed up together, it would not be too difficult to save Zhou Xuanji . After all, the Sword Saint cared about his reputation .

If he killed the most talented member of the younger generation, he would be condemned by the entire world .

The Emperor of Great Chen nodded; he was the one who did not want Zhou Xuanji to die the most—after all, his son was relying on Zhou Xuanji to teach him .

The three Emperors started to talk about their contingency plans for rescuing Zhou Xuanji .

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed .

There were now over two million cultivators gathered around Sword Emperor Canyon . At a glance, the entire land was filled with figures, and there were many mighty looking mounts and subdued demons .

The vast majority of people would glance at Shi Shenzong, sitting on the massive stone sword, now and then .

Shi Shenzong was sitting cross-legged with his sword across his legs . He patiently waited, and his eyelids did not even flicker .

The Hegemon Sword Sect and Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain had all sent many cultivators to spectate .

The two factions were not too far away from each other, and there would often be conflict between the two . However, with Shi Shenzong here, they did not dare to make a big ruckus .

“Sect Lord, is it possible that the Sword Emperor won’t come?” A Hegemon Sword Sect disciple nervously asked .

Hearing this, the Sect Lord glared at him and cursed, “Shut your mouth . ”

Lin Changge had already joined Zhou Xuanji, and if Zhou Xuanji lost face, Lin Changge would also be humiliated . As his father, he would also feel disgraced .

As such, no matter how much he didn’t like Zhou Xuanji, he still had to support Zhou Xuanji at a moment like this .

The Hegemon Sword Sect’s Sect Lord looked at Shi Haiming in the distance, and he could not help but gnash his teeth .

Before, he had always acted high and mighty towards Shi Haiming, but after Shi Shenzong had revived, the dynamic between them had completely reversed .

Sensing his gaze, Shi Haiming looked over at him, looking disdainful .

The Hegemon Sword Sect’s Sect Lord was so angry that he nearly rushed over .

It was not just them, the other spectating cultivators also felt quite annoyed .

If Zhou Xuanji did not dare to come and fight, wouldn’t they have come for nothing?

“Is the Sword Emperor too scared to come?”

“If I was him, I wouldn’t dare to come either . ”

“Impossible, he said that he’ll fight . ”

“People often regret what they say . ”

“Isn’t Zhou Xuanji reputed for being fearless?”

“Despicable, I’ve waited for half a year here . ”

The cultivators all quietly discussed among themselves . However, because there were so many of them, the area was filled with chaotic chattering .

At that moment, Shi Shenzong suddenly opened his eyes and looked in a direction .

Baihao Yixin, who was enjoying a massage from the beauties, sat up and narrowed his eyes as he looked over and said, “This boy’s growth speed is quite absurd . ”

The beauties looked at each other, not understanding what he was saying .

“Seeing the Legend of the Way of the Sword myself today, you’re indeed extraordinary . It’s a pity that you’re going to lose under my sword,” Zhou Xuanji’s bold, laughing voice sounded throughout the sky, causing the crowd of two million cultivators to become quite excited .

He had come .

He had finally come!

Zhou Chengxin, Yang Xindi, the Great Chen’s Emperor, Princess Xuanya, Hegemon Sword Sect’s Sect Lord, Shi Haiming, and others all stood up, holding their breath in anticipation .

A fiery light appeared on the horizon and approached incredibly quickly .

After that fiery light got closer, everyone looked closely and their eyes widened .

What a spirited-looking Fire Qilin .

Zhou Xuanji stood on Zhou Xiaoqi’s back, his arms crossed in front of his chest as he smirked . The Tri-Sun Flame Qi Robe fluttered in the wind, and his black hair also danced . His gaze looked incredibly proud, as if he was looking down on the world .

The cultivators were shocked to find that Zhou Xuanji’s aura was not any inferior to Shi Shenzong’s .

Both of them had a spirit of invincibility about them .

Zhou Chengxin, Yang Xindi, Princess Xuanya, and the others felt quite absent-minded upon seeing Zhou Xuanji . It had been a long time since they had seen him, and they could not help but feel that this was not real .

This fellow was already powerful to such an extent .

The Hegemon Sword Sect’s Sect Lord looked at Zhou Xuanji with a complicated gaze . He could not help but admit that Zhou Xuanji had already surpassed him .

Even without fighting, he knew that he was not a match for Zhou Xuanji .

“‘No wonder my son wanted to take him as his master . That was truly brilliant of him,’ he thought to himself, feeling quite pleased .

He could now be counted to be allied with Zhou Xuanji, and as long as they were not enemies, the more he looked at Zhou Xuanji, the better he seemed .

Zhou Xuanji leapt up and landed on the other 300 meter tall stone sword, facing off against Shi Shenzong .

Zhou Xiaoqi flew into the distance to avoid being caught up in the battle .

The Sword Saint and Sword Emperor looked at each other, about 300 meters apart from each other . The clash between their gazes caused everyone else to become quiet and focus .

A historical legend versus a modern legend .

Before the two of them started to fight, everyone’s blood already started to roil .

“You’re not bad . ” A look of approval appeared in Shi Shenzong’s eyes . He spoke softly, but his voice traveled into everyone’s ears .

Zhou Xuanji smirked and gave a confident laugh as he said, “Shi Shenzong, you’re not bad either . However, I want to become the most powerful Sword Emperor in history . In the future, when later people mention the Sword Emperor, I want them to think of me and not others . As such, it is not shameful for you to lose to me . ”

Arrogant .

Everyone started to sweat on his behalf; this boy had not only talked rudely of Shi Shenzong but also the Nine Emperors of the Way of the Sword as well .

Was he not afraid of losing?

Shi Shenzong suddenly started to loudly laugh . His laughter was very cold, but it did not contain any killing intent .

“Seeing you reminds me of myself . However, your cultivation is too weak, and is only at Great Realization Level Nine . No matter how great your achievements in the Way of the Sword, you won’t be a match for me,” Shi Shenzong said calmly after laughing .

However, those words caused the spectators to look shocked—the Sword Emperor had already reached Great Realization Level Nine?

Heavens!
