Chapter 574: Is this destiny? (1)
When Azief arrived there he could see ravines and gorges with attractive streams, pools, lakes, rivers and waterfalls in the distance.
Around the area there were many caves and there is a bridge that was formed by nature called the Bridge Reaching the Heavens
When Azief had arrived, the many martial artists that didn’t want to miss the duel, also arrived.
They waited around the bottom of the peaks and waited. A few moments later, Sword of Justice Fang Jian arrived.
This time, he no longer looks as listless and weak as before.
It is clear to everyone that have seen the pathetic state of the Sect leader of the Sword Residence that Fang Jian had recovered and the cure that the Sword God has brought to the Sword Residence is the real deal.
Everyone felt happy about this matter from the disciple of the Sword Residence to the orthodox sect members in the crowd.
Sword of Justice had recovered and many of the people in the crowd know that when this news is spread after this, those evil people, bandits, robbers, rapist and killers will think twice before they once again commit the crime.
Fang Jian begins the duel by first thanking the Sword God for thinking about the welfare of the world
To this, Azief said nothing.
Fang Jian then reaffirm his decision before and said as long as Sword God did not disdain him and his sect, Azief and his people would always find an ally in him.
Azief then had to explain. He said to Fang Jian he had long admired him and his terrible fate of dying of poison is not something that the world like to see.
They both nodded at each other.
Then as the promised time for duel is coming nearer, they both jumped up toward the tall peak, climbing the side of the peaks by running up toward it, like they were lizards and their feet have adhesive properties to it.
Non one was surprised that Sword God and Sword of Justice both have the abilities to run up the tall peaks.
They arrive at the top and they both begins by attacking each other using swords.
Azief once again restrain himself, focusing only on swordsmanship. Sword lights fills the area as the many peaks were cut down or exploded because of the force of their sword.
The rivers around them had been cut, a new path for its water to flow was accidentally created.
People was in awe as Fang Jian dissertates the famous One Sword. One strike to conquer the word, one strike to cut the world!
It was a powerful technique that have a sword force that seems to truly be able to cut everything. Sword of Justice Sword move is simple.
Because there is only one move and One Sword.
Whether it be hacking, cutting, stabbing each time he executes this movements, it held a different weight than any other people performing the same move. It was like each move is the last move and each move is performed at its most powerful
If Flowing Sword Arts is focused on flowing with the moves and connecting with the moves, One Sword focused on one move at a time.
It possesses a certain force that the Flowing Sword Art does not. No wonder the Sword Monarch Zhu Yao wanted to fight Azief disciple to understand his own sword.
With such opposing concepts of swordsmanship, it is not that far-fetched to think that the One Sword could easily be understood if it were to clash a sword art that is completely opposite to it.
There is a comprehension of the sword to those who could see the battle. Azief found himself excited fighting Fang Jian.
The Sword Residence sword arts, the One Sword deserves its name as one of the three great sword arts in the martial arts word.
But in the end, Azief could see past though all of those attacks and break the One Sword. The Sword of Justice, like all the grandmaster before him had been defeated by the Sword God.
But it doesn’t seem that Fang Jian is that sad nor does he look like he has been injured which is good news.
Nobody wanted a grandmaster like Sword of Justice to be injured severely. And Azief himself did not fight because he wanted to injure the Sword of Justice.
They both accepted the outcome of the battle and there is not bitter feeling between the two of them
By the end, there is only twelve pillars that remains untouched. The other were either cut, scratched, or cracking signs could be seen all over the others.
Azief came down and thank Fang Jian for indulging him and Fang Jian thanks the Sword God for fighting with him because in that fight he was enlightened about some sword moves.
It was then that Azief had proposed a duel between their disciples. Azief then set the battle to happen six years later.
Fang Jian agreed.
The battle between their disciple would be fought at the same place they fought.
The whole martial arts world nodded in agreement.
Everyone knows that the Sword Monarch and the Sword Demon had fought each other on top of the Five Element Mountain but that battle was not finished.
They both agree on the duel and then Azief and his entourage once again come down. By this time, there is no longer any doubt in the minds of the many martial artists in the world about the prowess of the Sword God
No one could deny it after seeing all this kind of miracles that have bene happening since he come down from the Five Element Mountain.
The Sword God is the Number One Swordsman Under the Heaven. Azief then continued his journey to Jian state and challenge the Saber Manor.
Everyone expected that challenge since it is on the way. Saber Manor Sect Leader had also been waiting and he accepted the duel
In that duel, Azief had used a broken saber from the Saber Cemetery to defeat the Saber Manor Sect Master, shocking once again the martial arts world and showing a brand new world to saber practitioner on how to use a saber
The duel seems to create fires that rises up high to the Heavens above and those that watched the battle all had deep enlightening to their practices of the swords and sabers.
Defeating the Saber Manor Sect Master, Azief had gained a crystallized knowledge of martial arts.
By now, he had fought almost all the large and powerful sect that exist in this world and the ideas of his supreme manual is almost complete.
It could even be said it is already complete. Azief also made another promised duel with the Saber Manor Young Master Jian Que.
Like Zhu Yao he set the battle in six years’ time. And they will fight inside the Saber Cemetery.
The Saber Manor Sect Leader also agreed on this battle.
This news once again hypes the promised duels. Now, there are three promising figures of the martial arts world that is related to the promised duel that would happen in six years’ time
In another six-year time there would probably a great battle that would be seen by all the martial arts world that would rival that battle on top of the Five Element Mountain
Sword Monarch Zhu Yao, Young master of Saber Manor, Jian Que and the disciple of Sword God, Sword Demon Xi Feng.
Who would win in that battle?
Azief himself does not know.
If Xi Feng did not apply himself after he leaves, he might be the one that would lose. Zhu Yao and Jian Que is one of the many whetstones that Azief had left for his disciple.
Azief just hope that his disciple would not be a broken sword after meeting such a hard whetstone.
The matter become even bigger. Everyone knows that the Saber Manor and the Sword Residence has a relationship like that of a dog and cat.
If Zhu Yao wins in that battle but Jian Que did not, then it is dishonor to their schools and sect. And the same for vice versa.
And not to mention, Sword Demon Xi Feng is not an easy opponent either.
These are all great martial artist that trained in some of the world deadliest martial arts in the martial arts world
But six years is a long time.
These three are the rising stars of the younger generation. Two of the people that is in this fated duel is under the tutelage of a grandmaster.
Zhu Yao learn under the Sword of Justice, Fang Jian and Sword Demon Xi Feng learns under Sword God who is nameless.
Azief had never given himself a name and leaving only his title as Sword God. And nobody really dares ask stupid question in front of a Sword God.
There is that sword on the lap and the two strikes that kill the dragons that make people think before they speak their mouth in front of the Sword God hence nobody knows the real name of the Sword God.
Some people of the martial arts world began calling him Nameless and the name stuck.
The common people that does not know thought that his name is really Nameless since in their language is sounds like Wu Ming.
Azief himself is too lazy to spread his real name and he let the name stay. The journey to the Sword Residence and the Sword Manor is a fruitful journey for him
Azief by then had secured two promised duels for his disciple. It would serve as his disciple pressure when he is gone.
