Challenging Gu Jiang

The day the fight arrived. The leader of each force had been present including the head of the sword hall Jiang Bei. He sat down with the other leaders.

Gu Jiang flew over who then landed in the fighting arena standing firmly waiting for Lin Huang's arrival. A golden gate appeared in the sky and a majestic figure came out from within. He was wearing his great blue silk robe sitting on one of the main oversized chairs. Everyone present stood up to give a respectful greeting.

"Greet His Majesty the Celestial Emperor, "they said in unison.

Emperor Zhu Changyi waved his hand telling people to sit back. A fire burns in the sky with an unparalleled blaze. The descending phoenix landed beside Emperor Zhu Changyi who then became a woman wearing a red brokrat.

"Greetings to the Phoenix Empress, "they said in unison.

The wind instantly came blowing. The clouds split with roars echoing in the sky. A dragon descended then turned into an authoritative male figure standing beside the Celestial Emperor. Wearing a dragon-patterned golden brokrat.

"Greetings to the Dragon Emperor, "they said in unison.

The three ninth celestial lords had been present watching the fight. Tiankong Academy with heavenly geniuses was also present.

"Where are the people who want to challenge you? It is shameless to come so late, " said Emperor Zhu Changyi.

A lightning-fast light shot down smashing into the battle arena. Lin Huang was enveloped by the heavenly lightning. He slowly looked up at Gu Jiang.

"I didn't think you were challenging me this fast" Gu Jiang said.

"Because I want my name to be famous throughout the sky by defeating you, "reply Bai Yanglan.

"Alright, I will serve you, " said Gu Jiang darting which then suddenly appeared in front of Lin Huang.

His hands clenched intending to punch. Lin Huang had once stepped behind Gu Jiang.

"What! " he said surprised.

Lin Huang punched with Gu Jiang in a defensive manner. They were fighting physically but Lin Huang's speed had never decreased in the slightest. People are fighting seriously. Gu Jiang was struck until he was dragged backwards. He let out his sword darting back at Lin Huang.

"The Wind Sword sharply approached the Emperor's weapon. It was said that Gu Jiang was considered to be one of the strongest in the sword hall, "said whispered people.

Lin Huang did not take out his sword but he continued to fight with his bare hands. The clash of forces happened so great. Gu Jiang floated in the air twisting his sword making wind movements.

"Wind sword technique! " said Gu Jiang swinging his sword making the sword rain down on Lin Huang. The rain of swords made smoke billow.

Gu Jiang stopped his attack waiting for Lin Huang's reaction. Golden bells appeared resisting Gu Jiang's attack.

"What! He mastered the techniques of the great temple! " say, everyone was surprised.

"intriguing. Even you who were not a disciple of the great temple mastered his defensive techniques, "said Gu Jiang darting towards Lin Huang intending to split the golden bell.

Gu Jiang pressed his sword for Lin Huang's golden bell protection to shatter. The great leader of the temple, Tang Xingzhou stroked his beard.

"The concentration of compaction has been perfect. No one could break through it, "tang Xingzhou said smiling as he looked at the technique.

Gu Jiang retreated preparing his strongest technique. He rubbed his sword while reciting a spell.

"Extreme wind blade siege technique! " said Gu Jiang.

Gu Jiang darted away and appeared as he swung his sword making the wind blade attack besieging Lin Huang hit him simultaneously. Lin Huang raised his hand making a hand seal.

"Amplete defense technique golden bells! " said Bai Yanglan.

"BOOM!!! "

Lin Huang remained in his place with the golden bell intact in the absence of any gaps.

"What do you think of the technique?" asked the head of the sword hall Yun Qing.

"absolute participation. If I'm not mistaken the technique is the strongest defense of the great temple, " replied peach garden leader Xie Hua turning his head towards Tang Xingzhou.

"The absolute defense technique of the golden bell was the one taught by Emperor Yindan and was the strongest defense in the great temple, "inner Tang Xingzhou.

"Infinite sword rain technique! " said Gu Jiang.

The portal appeared with thousands of swords coming out attacking Lin Huang. He stared at the portal. A gigantic visual appeared behind Gu Jiang.

"The soul sword form! "

The giant visual appearance pressured Lin Huang until he was bowed. The giant palm tried to kill him. A golden aura seeped out from within his body. Lin Huang floated under such pressure. Combining his two palms followed by the visual of a noble wearing beads in his hands fusing his two palms together. One by one the monster's palms appeared to total up to nine. The dragon aura contained within the site made Emperor Zhang Jun's forehead frown.

"He has a dragon aura within his footprint. Even his purity was higher than mine, "the inner Emperor Zhang Jun.

Tang Xingzhou's monk instantly stood his hand tightly gripping his chair.

"What happened to you?" ask Xie Hua.

"It was a legendary technique recorded in the history of the great temple. An ancient technique used against Emperor Yindan. Nine dragons tread technique, " replied Tang Xingzhou.

One by one the sites shot towards Gu Jiang. Several gigantic swords shot out resisting the attack. Like a real dragon, the giant palm appeared a dragon that wrapped around Gu Jiang's sword until it was destroyed. Lin Huang attacked Gu Jiang directly using the actual footprint of the nine dragons.

"Duarrr!! "

Lin Huang managed to smash both of Gu Jiang's chests to the point that he fell to the ground spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood. Gu Jiang rose to rub the remaining blood at the corner of his lips.

"Good!! Your attack is quite painful for me. But this isn't over yet! " said Gu Jiang unsheathed his sword to the ground.

The crack happened to rapidly attack Lin Huang. He jumped into the air avoiding the crack. Gu Jiang performed a long technique move like he was dancing. The sword trembled then Gu Jiang enlarged his sword preparing to attack Lin Huang.

The power contained in the sword is very strong accompanied by a giant visual that reappears holding the giant sword. Lin Huang walked like an immortal with both hands behind his body.

"The sword intent must be pure and clean. The seven three-hearted feelings must be well controlled. The eight paths of truth were the goal of the sword path itself, "said Bai Yanglan accompanied by a powerful force of sword energy seeping out from within his body.

He raised two fingers of his right hand upwards making the entire sword tremble violently. The visuals of Emperor Yin-Yang appearing towering equalled those of Gu Jiang. One by one the heaven soul swords appeared to number nine. Tiankong Academy was surprised at the technique including the sword hall.

"Han Yang could only awaken six swords yet he had nine swords completely and perfectly, " said one of the Tiankong academy's students.

The nine heaven soul swords floated around Lin Huang's body. One by one the swords came from all directions which served as the level of the rungs. Swords are coming in a lot. The sword hall saw the sword twisting like a tornado surrounding Lin Huang.

The head of the sword hall was shocked by the presence of the thousands of swords.

"The sword God Emperor summoned the sword souls to help him in battle. Thousands of swords came fulfilling the call. The devil is destroyed with the soul of the sword, the war is over without any casualties, "pavilion chief Zhenxi Guo Liang said.

Everyone stood up except the three great leaders who were sitting quietly. Emperor Zhu Changyi narrowed his eyes staring intently at Lin Huang.

"This child actually comprehended the path of the sword to the point of being able to control thousands of swords within his grasp, "inner Emperor Zhu Changyi.

"Kongque was discovered by him and I'm sure it was all his destiny. His strength I'm sure surpasses everyone's, "inner Empress Yi Fei.

Swords appeared in Lin Huang's hands then the thousands of swords rattled out like waves towards Gu Jiang attacking him with successive blows. Gu Jiang was surrounded by the whirlpool of the sword tornado. He called his spirit beast a snake-tailed lion.

The lion roars making a shockwave disperse the tornado sword formation surrounding it. Xiao Bao appeared on Lin Huang's shoulder staring intently at the lion. Xiao Bao grew to a massive size that almost matched the body of Emperor Yin-Yang.

Its twin head had a symbol that made Emperor Zhang Jun stand up in shock.

"He whom I did not accept in my territory with his temperament was conquered by him? I was surprised because he was an animal that had a powerful demonic aura. Is it because he mastered the great temple technique that the demonic aura can be purified? " the Emperor Zhang Jun said.

"He has evolved. Look at the symbol on his head. Two different elements. Scales as hard as yours. His strength was fully recovered. The one you threw away dominates the sky with his Master, "reply Empress Yi Fei.

"He's really smart. Although Kongque was behind it, but in order to avoid big problems he hid it very neatly, "inner Empress Yi Fei.

"Xiao Bao, you handle him, "Bai Yanglan's orders.

"Okay Sir." reply Xiao Bao darted towards the lion and began to fight.
