This Sword Master's strength is clearly greater than that of ordinary experts in the Divine Realm, yet he is only ranked third on the Top Ranking.
How strong must the second-place player be?
What kind of master is the legendary number one in the Land Immortal Realm?
Su Chen leisurely took a sip of tea.
Although no one came to tell his fortune, he wasn't in a hurry.
The release of information about Ling Shuang Sword was originally a trap he set.
With such a big secret, he's sure to catch some big fish; he just needs to wait patiently.
After the murmurs in the hall subsided, Su Chen opened his folding fan and said loudly:
"Next, let's talk about the next master on the list."
"Second place on the list of champions, Bai Yujing."
"You may not have heard of this name before."
"But his identity is not simple; he is powerful enough to turn the entire martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty upside down with a single word."
"This person is the Great Dragon Leader, the head of the seven Dragon Leaders of the Azure Dragon Society, and he wields the Longevity Sword, the most powerful divine weapon of the Azure Dragon Society."
"The Jade Palace in the heavens, with its five towers and twelve cities, is where an immortal touches my head, granting me eternal life. This is the Jade Palace, the master of the Longevity Sword, as carefree as an immortal."
"As the head of the Azure Dragon Society, there are very few things that require his personal intervention."
"So his Longevity Sword never moved, and he always had a calm smile on his face."
"His only move was twenty years ago."
"One man held off 100,000 elite troops of the imperial court, fought across thousands of miles, and finally left unscathed."
"No one knows about this battle, but both sides suffered heavy losses."
"More than 20,000 of the 100,000 imperial soldiers died."
"Bai Yujing also overexerted himself in that battle, falling from a half-step Earth Immortal to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm."
"It took him a full twenty years to recover and reach the peak of the Divine Realm."
"If it weren't for that battle, he would have already reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal."
"And he fought against 100,000 imperial troops by himself and his sword, just to fulfill a promise he made years ago."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall was once again filled with shock.
Everyone was stunned.
What did they hear?
The second-ranked Sword Immortal is actually the Great Dragon Leader of the Azure Dragon Society?
Who is the mysterious and unpredictable leader of the Azure Dragon Society?
If you didn't grow up in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, it's hard to truly understand the weight of the name "Azure Dragon Society".
The Ming Dynasty has a long history, and there are many sects in the martial arts world that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
But when it comes to the oldest, no force can compare to the Azure Dragon Society.
Even the Ming Dynasty court couldn't do it.
The history of the Azure Dragon Society runs through the entire history of the Ming Dynasty.
The Azure Dragon Society existed even before the Ming Dynasty was established.
The most terrifying thing is that, over such a long period of time, although the Azure Dragon Society has experienced periods of decline, no one has ever truly uncovered its secrets.
Let alone the seven dragon leaders at the Azure Dragon Society headquarters, no one even knows where a branch is located or who is in charge.
Everyone only knows one principle.
The Azure Dragon Society can get whatever it wants, no matter where it is.
Anyone the Azure Dragon Society wants to kill will die, no matter who stands in their way.
This is a truth that the Azure Dragon Society has verified over hundreds of years, and it has never gone wrong.
Now, Su Chen has actually revealed the identity of Bai Yujing, the leader of the Azure Dragon Society!
What was even more shocking was what Su Chen said next.
Twenty years ago, Bai Yujing, the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, once single-handedly fought against 100,000 elite troops!
This is absolutely sensational news.
Although the top masters in the martial arts world can ignore the imperial army, at most they can only avoid it.
Facing the imperial army head-on, a full 100,000 elite troops, even the most powerful expert in the Free and Unfettered Realm would not survive.
Otherwise, how could Xu Xiao have swept through the martial arts world back then?
Three hundred thousand Beiliang soldiers working together could overwhelm even a land-based immortal.
The price Bai Yujing paid shows that even a half-step Earth Immortal would pay a heavy price to withstand the imperial army.
After that battle in Bai Yujing, he fell directly from a half-step Earth Immortal to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, which can be described as extremely tragic.
This made everyone very curious: what kind of promise could make Bai Yujing take such a big risk and do such an earth-shattering thing?
For a moment, the hall was filled with noise:
"My God! The second-ranked Sword Immortal is actually the Great Dragon Leader of the Azure Dragon Society, that's terrifying!"
"No wonder no one could guess who the top six on the Sword Immortal Ranking were; each and every one of them is incredibly powerful."
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! This trip to Snowmoon City was definitely worthwhile; I actually overheard the secrets of the Azure Dragon Society."
"As expected of the Celestial Immortal, he was able to unveil the mystery of the Azure Dragon Society."
"Truly worthy of being a half-step Earth Immortal, he can contend with 100,000 elite soldiers all by himself."
"I had no idea about such a brutal battle. There are just too many secrets hidden in this world."
"It's such a pity about Bai Yujing. If it weren't for this battle, the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty would have gained another immortal on land."
In the second private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor, Xu Fengnian said excitedly, "A half-step Earth Immortal, that's really too strong! If I could reach that level someday, I could split Tai'an City in two with a single sword strike!"
"A half-step Earth Immortal? That's a long way off!"
"The princess had already reached the level of a pseudo-terrestrial immortal back then, but she was still besieged."
"Not to mention there are real terrestrial deities plotting behind the scenes."
"Young Master, let's be more down-to-earth and first hone our skills to the Vajra Mortal Realm. Once we have the ability to protect ourselves, then we can talk about other things."
Old Huang said, shaking his head as he drank his rice wine.
"Old Huang, you still don't understand me."
"If it weren't for the desire to soar ninety thousand miles into the sky and cleave Tai'an City in two with a single sword strike, why would I learn these martial arts?"
Xu Fengnian answered seriously.
Old Huang also became serious upon hearing this, patted the sword box, and said earnestly:
"I've heard that true martial arts masters at their peak can make the clouds in the heavens hang low and the waters of the four seas flow backward."
"I'll be waiting for that day, young master."
"Before this, anyone who dares to touch the young master will be killed by me, Sword Nine Emperor!"
In the second private room on the east side of the thirteenth floor, Afei said with excitement and surprise, "Bai Yujing is too strong. He can fight against an army of 100,000 people all by himself. When will I be able to reach that level?"
Li** took a sip of wine, a look of surprise in his eyes, and slowly said:
"Bai Yujing, as the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, was indeed very strong at his peak."
"But he's only a quasi-earth immortal."
"Do you remember what the Celestial Immortal said before?"
"In the martial arts world of some dynasties, true immortals on land don't even rank in the top ten."
Upon hearing this, Afei was shocked.
Chapter 45 A Unique Opportunity
Only after truly experiencing the power of a half-step Earth Immortal did he realize how terrifying those words were.
A half-step Earth Immortal can contend with an army of 100,000.
How terrifying must those imperial martial arts worlds, where more than a dozen terrestrial immortals are hidden, be?
He used to think that it was only natural for the imperial court to suppress the martial arts world.
Now, he's starting to waver.
Secular armies can restrain ordinary martial arts practitioners, but they cannot restrain immortals on land.
In those hidden worlds of martial arts, even the imperial court is powerless to stop them.
"One day, I will become a master like that."
Ah Fei said with a determined look in his eyes.
On the white jade platform, Su Chen gently waved his folding fan. After the murmurs of the crowd subsided, he directly announced:
"Next, we will announce the number one winner of the Great Ming Sword Immortal competition."
"This person is named Lang Fanyun. He is the Supreme Elder of the Great Ming Angry Dragon Gang, and his cultivation has reached the Land Immortal Realm!"
"As the only land-based sword immortal in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, Lang Fanyun's swordsmanship is extraordinary and has reached a level that no one can match."
"But his greatest strength is not his swordsmanship, but his amazing talent."
“He is completely different from the sword immortals who were listed before.”
"The other sword immortals on the list either come from families with a long tradition of swordsmanship and have inherited sword techniques, or they have become disciples of masters and obtained peerless sword manuals."
"But Lang Fanyun had nothing."
"He came from a commoner background, had no family martial arts skills, had not apprenticed under any martial arts masters, and had never received any guidance from anyone in the martial arts world."
