Chapter 455: Unrivaled in the World (Part )

On the sidelines, Jin Fuyu looked at Wu Shuang with interest and praised him, "He defeated two masters of the Xianwang Mansion on his own. It seems that we have underestimated Wu Shuang's ability before."

"Master Jinwu's words are true." Lu Tingxiang, who was sitting not far away, echoed, "Everyone thought that Luo Tianjin had a good chance of drawing Wu Shuang, but now it seems that it might be a bad chance. Murong Bai and Deng Quan are both top-notch masters, but they didn't get any benefit from Wu Shuang. If this continues, Luo Tianjin's wish to advance easily will become a luxury."

"Compared to his martial arts, I am more curious about his origins."

As if he had heard a clue from Jin Fuyu's words, Wen Lian leaned forward and whispered, "Master, do you want me to invite Wu Shuang to have a chat tonight?"

Wen Lian's words seemed to be an attempt to win over Wu Shuang.

After all, Jin Fu Yu was extremely saddened by the loss of Jian Zhong, and now he has finally met a young talent who is even better than Jian Zhong. How can Jin Fu Yu remain indifferent?
Hearing this, Jin Fuyu's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he slowly shook his head and said, "It would be great if I could make friends with this person. However, he showed mercy to Murong Bai and Deng Quan, so could he be secretly colluding with Luo Tianjin? This guy's origins are unknown and his behavior is suspicious. If I act rashly, I'm afraid I'll fall into a trap."

"What the owner of the dock means is..."

"Wait a little longer!" Jin Fuyu said, "Let me figure out whether he is a friend or an enemy, and then we can discuss it later."

On the other side, Luo Tianjin personally sealed Deng Quan's acupuncture points to stop the spread of internal injuries. Seeing that Deng Quan was no longer in danger, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Xie Xuan and said, "We have lost two people. We can't go on."

"understand!"

Xie Xuan understood what he meant and was about to walk towards the sword-discussing arena, but was stopped by Luo Tianjin in time.

"What else do you want, Lord?"

"I...you..."

Luo Tianjin opened his mouth several times, but he seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he was in a very complicated mood. His face became more and more solemn, his eyes moved slightly, and finally he turned his anxiety into a commonplace reminder: "Xie brother, be careful."

Xie Xuan took a deep look at the worried Luo Tianjin, then a simple smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and agreed, "Hey!"

A simple answer, a calm tone, no solemn promises, and no lofty ambitions, everything was as friendly and natural as chatting about family matters.

Little do people know that a single word "Ah" is enough to contain thousands of words and pledges of eternal love.

One word was enough to put Luo Tianjin's anxious heart at ease.

From the moment Xie Xuan stepped onto the sword-discussing stage, the noisy scene suddenly became silent and solemn.

Xie Xuan, the leader of the Seven Heroes of the Xianwang Mansion, was also the one who accompanied Luo Tianjin in building the foundation of the Xianwang Mansion.

He is different from Murong Bai and Deng Quan. The relationship between him and Luo Tianjin is more like that of brothers, and they are brothers who are close and support each other through life and death, ups and downs.

Xie Xuan knew things that the disciples of Xianwang Mansion didn't know. Xie Xuan also knew things that the other six heroes of Xianwang Mansion didn't know. Even things that Ling Xiaoxiao didn't know, Xie Xuan still knew.

In front of Xie Xuan, Luo Tianjin had almost no secrets. Just based on this unreserved trust, no one else in the Xianwang Mansion could do it, not even Luo Tianjin's own son Luo Hongxuan.

Xie Xuan has always been Luo Tianjin's trump card. Unless it is absolutely necessary, unless it is of great importance, unless it is a matter of life and death, Luo Tianjin generally will not let Xie Xuan take action.

There was a joke in the martial arts world: "If Xie Xuan had not met Luo Tianjin when he was young, he would have been another Northern Sage King."

Although it was just a joke, it was enough to prove that Xie Xuan's martial arts, wisdom, scheming, and scheming were all top-notch.

Many times, the "slowness and pedantry" he showed in front of Luo Tianjin was precisely his extreme intelligence. He knew where the boundary between "being a brother" and "being a subject" was.
Of course, no matter whether it is outsiders or disciples of the Xianwang Mansion, no one has ever regarded him as a vassal of Luo Tianjin. Instead, they prefer to regard him as the incarnation of the Northern Xianwang.

Not only is he second only to the emperor in the Xianwang Palace, he is also famous and powerful in the martial arts world.

Xie Xuan's attainments in Bodhidharma Finger are unique even among the many elders in Shaolin Temple, and no one can surpass him.

Yuwen Xiu, the arrogant lord of Peach Blossom Island, was Xie Xuan's former rival, and they were equally matched and rivaled. From this, it is not difficult to infer what Xie Xuan's seniority and status are in the current martial arts world?
Xie Xuan's appearance made Wu Shuang, who was usually calm and composed, look solemn for the first time.

Through his eyes, one can clearly distinguish the difference between his attitude towards Xie Xuan and towards Murong Bai and Deng Quan.

Wu Shuang acted calm and confident when it came to the latter, but he held his breath and focused on the former, not looking away.

"Xie Xuan from the Xianwang Mansion has the audacity to come on stage and ask Young Master Wu for some advice."

Xie Xuan said this to express his humility. Secondly, because of his seniority, he seemed to be bullying the weak. Thirdly, he felt a little guilty. After all, Wu Shuang had fought two battles in a row, and his energy and spirit were greatly depleted. How could he be compared with Xie Xuan who was in peak condition?
"Since this is a martial arts conference, martial arts is everything." Wu Shuang waved his two swords slowly and leisurely, saying jokingly, "As for the rest, it's not worth mentioning."

"I never thought that Young Master Wu, at such a young age, has reached such a state. I admire him!"

"In fact, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to learn from Master Xie's Dharma Finger." Wu Shuang said with a smile, "It is said that your Dharma Finger has been practiced to the pinnacle of pure passion, even to the terrifying level of sweeping the martial arts world and being the only one in the world. I wonder... is it an exaggeration?"

"Thanks to my friends in the martial arts world for showing me some respect." Xie Xuan said modestly, "The names of pure love as hot as fire and unrivaled in the world are just empty names. I have only made a small progress in the Bodhidharma Finger. I definitely don't dare to claim to have reached the pinnacle, let alone sweep the martial arts world."

"No need to be modest!" Wu Shuang crossed his two swords in front of him and said with a curled lip, "Since we are masters fighting, why not just skip those flashy moves. How about Master Xie directly use the Dharma Finger to let me learn from it?"

"A gentleman should help others achieve their goals." Xie Xuan's tone gradually became a little low, "Since Young Master Wu is interested in this, I will show you my ugliness!" "Come on!"

With a loud shout, Wu Shuang took the lead and disappeared out of thin air like a ghost.

In the blink of an eye, countless cold blades appeared mysteriously above Xie Xuan.

Thousands of sword shadows were vivid, and millions of cold lights were dazzling. Accompanied by gusts of sharp sword wind whistling past, Xie Xuan's hair was blown up and down, and his robes were blown up and down, making fluttering sounds.

But even so, Xie Xuan still had a blank expression on his face, his eyes did not look away, and he stood there as steady as a rock.

On the sidelines, Yun Zhuiyue quietly watched the roars of tigers and dragons on the sword-fighting stage, and murmured, "Wu Shuang has a bright future."

Yun Jianping seemed to be disturbed by Yun Zhuiyue's voice. She turned around and asked, "Dad, I have always been curious about what happened when you and Brother Wu had a closed-door competition in the Dragon Elephant Temple?"

Hearing this, Yun Zhuiyue's eyes moved slightly, and he asked sideways: "What do you think?"

"Although I believe that Brother Wu is definitely qualified to be ranked first on the Dragon Elephant Ranking, I prefer to believe that Dad's martial arts are invincible. I have seen Brother Wu fight, and I have also seen Dad fight, but I have never seen you two fight, sigh!"

Yun Jianping pursed her red lips, and a layer of sadness covered her handsome face. Her dilemma and hesitation looked very cute.

"On one side is your lover, and on the other side is your biological father. The Holy Lord asks you to choose between the two. Isn't that asking too much?" Tang Xuan pretended to be serious, but he was actually joking with Yun Jianping.

As expected, after hearing Tang Xuan's words, Yun Jianping's fair face instantly turned red, and she complained: "Uncle Tang, stop talking nonsense, bah bah bah! What sweetheart..." At the end, her voice was as thin as a mosquito's silk and too weak to be heard.

Seeing this, Yun Zhuiyue couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, "Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around them laughed.

"I firmly believe that Daddy's martial arts skills are definitely better than Brother Wu's." Yun Jianping explained hastily, "I was just talking casually just now. No matter how high Brother Wu's martial arts skills are, he is definitely not Dad's opponent."

Unfortunately, the more she described, the more things went wrong, which only caused everyone to laugh. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"call!"

Suddenly, a faint sound of thunder rang out from the scene, shocking the eyes and ears of people around and concentrating their minds.

At some point, the two swords in Wu Shuang's hands had transformed into two intertwined giant pythons, with the blades as their bodies and the blades as their teeth. They opened their bloody mouths in mid-air, spitting out terrifying snake tongues, and pounced on Xie Xuan from the left and right.

Looking at Xie Xuan again, dazzling golden light burst out from all over his body, crisscrossing like a huge birdcage, guarding him tightly inside and blocking the two blade-like pythons outside.

Suddenly, Xie Xuan's hands, which had been motionless, shook to the sides, and a series of "crackling" sounds erupted from the joints of his ten fingers. At the same time, each of his joints was swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a faint blood-red light was faintly emitted under the skin.

"out!"

With a loud shout, Xie Xuan suddenly pointed his hands towards the sky.

In an instant, ten blood-red energy burst out from the fingertips, immediately shattering the "golden birdcage" and transforming into ten bloodthirsty tigers and wolves in mid-air, rushing straight towards the blade-like python.

Giant pythons fought tigers and wolves, Xie Xuan fought Wu Shuang, amidst shocked and astonished gazes, there were gusts of wind and rumbling thunder on the sword-fighting arena, and two lightning-fast figures collided head-on in the chaos, unstoppable.

"Oh!"

There was a deafening roar, almost breaking the eardrums of the spectators. Everyone couldn't help but cover their ears, and their eyes on the battle became more and more horrified.

After the loud noise, the tigers, wolves and giant pythons fell apart and eventually turned into nothingness.

When the dust settled and the energy dissipated, everyone slowly came back to their senses from the earth-shaking battle that had just taken place. They stared at the sword-fighting arena with curious and terrified eyes.

At this moment, Xie Xuan and Wu Shuang stood back to back, both of them like wooden carvings or clay sculptures, motionless.

Wu Shuang threw the two scimitars on both sides of his body. His expression was complicated and his eyes were slightly narrowed, showing no emotion.

Xie Xuan had one hand hanging by his side and the other behind his back, letting the breeze blow gently on him. He nodded and lowered his brows, as silent as water.

Careful observers discovered that there were ten strange depressions on Wu Shuang's two scimitars. And on the edges of Xie Xuan's sleeves, there was a faint red glow, like blood that had not yet dried.

Thousands of people held their breath in complete silence. Everyone's hearts were on the two of them, feeling so heavy that they could hardly breathe.

Xu Qingnian frowned and stood up tremblingly, but before he could say anything, Wu Shuang suddenly trembled, and then, in full view of everyone, he walked off the stage without saying a word.
