After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad! Chapter 256

Seeing Jiang Chen staring at him with a smile, Jian Liu thought to himself.

He thought to himself. Jiang Chen was not on Heaven’s Pride Ranking and should be just for show, but after all, he had achieved Major Achievent in the Way of the Sword and had the ans to drive people mad…

All things considered, he’s still not to be underestimated!

He glanced again at Yuan Cheng, who was still struggling in the water and had just managed to get ashore.

Jian Liu’s mouth twitched.

With the previous example before him and with all the geniuses gathered here, it would be quite embarrassing if he were also kicked into the water.

After so thought, Jian Liu decided to play it safe.

“Hehe…”

Jian Liu said aloud, “I am Jian Liu, fortunate to be ranked sixth on the Heaven’s Pride Ranking. Although Brother Jiang is not on the list, I greatly admire your strength.”

With that, he smiled with satisfaction.

In this way, he had answered Jiang Chen’s question and had lowered his stance to the extre, believing that Jiang Chen could not find any fault to take advantage of.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Chen asked in return.

“Jian Liu? From this na, I sense that your swordsmanship is extraordinary and smooth. Your talent in the Way of the Sword must be very high. May I ask, what is your specific cultivation in the Way of the Sword?”

“Uh…” Jian Liu hesitated.

As the sixth sword disciple of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion, he was confident in his swordsmanship.

However, what would he do if he answered truthfully and Jiang Chen responded with “Oh, my sword is at Major Achievent,”?

Wouldn’t that be just like being slapped in the face like Yuan Cheng?

But if he continued to complint Jiang Chen, wouldn’t that indirectly prove that the disciples of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion were nothing special that even their sword cultivators couldn’t compare to him?

For a mont, the sixth sword disciple found himself in a dilemma.

Seeing him struggling to speak, Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Brother Jian, why do you hesitate? Did I say sothing wrong? Or is your sword talent poor, rely a reputation without substance?” 𝙍ΆℕÖ𝐛Ёs̈

A reputation without substance? These words struck a nerve, and the sixth sword disciple beca furious!

“I, Jian Liu, have practiced the sword for over twenty years, serving the sword at the age of five, achieving Beginner in the Way of the Sword at ten, and achieving Minor Achievent at sixteen! Although I have not yet reached Major Achievent, it is within my sight!” he retorted with a cold snort.

“Oh, I have reached Major Achievent in the Way of the Sword,” Jiang Chen replied.

“…”

The sixth sword disciple’s face turned dark.

“By the way, I am younger than you,” Jiang Chen added.

“…”

The sixth sword disciple’s face grew even darker.

“For your information, I’ve only practiced the sword for a few years.

One year to Beginner, two years to Minor Achievent, three years to Major Achievent.” Jiang Chen continued.

“…”

The sixth sword disciple wanted to curse!

The previous statents were still acceptable, but Jiang Chen’s last claim was definitely nonsense!

Three years to Major Achievent in the Way of the Sword?

Such talent, not even the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor had it in his youth!

“Will you die if you don’t brag?” the sixth sword disciple retorted.

Jiang Chen just smiled faintly in response.

“Clang—”

Then, a resonating sword cry filled the air as a powerful sword intent burst forth from within him.

The sword intent soared to the heavens, and in an instant, the winds howled and clouds surged.

At the sa ti, a white-haired, crane-like elder with a gentle smile on his face, towering about thirty zhang tall and wielding a sword, appeared as a phantom behind Jiang Chen.

“Ancient Swordsmanship, First Form: Skybreaker.”

Both swung their swords and a hundred zhang long sword qi suddenly appeared, carrying the force to break the sky and cleaved towards a distant glacier.

The sword qi extended for several li, and the sword intent ravaged in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the majestic glacier was split in two, revealing a smooth-cut surface with snow slowly collapsing from the top.

“…”

Seeing this the sixth sword disciple and the onlooking cultivators were dumbfounded.

No one expected that Jiang Chen would suddenly make a move without any warning and he could split the mountain with one sword so effortlessly!

“This… is this the ancient Way of the Sword?!” After coming to his senses, the sixth sword disciple exclaid.

Compared to the other cultivators, he could better sense the ancient essence and sword intent of this First Form.

He was shocked and terrified.

Because the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion also had records of this ancient First Form, but for a thousand years, no one had been able to comprehend it.

The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor once said that the ancient Way of the Sword could not be cultivated by anyone without exceptional talent and monstrous aptitude.

A cultivator who could comprehend the ancient Way of the Sword was a born Sword Emperor rare to find even in a thousand years!

“Hiss—”

Rembering this, the sixth sword disciple took a sharp breath.

This Jiang Chen’s mastery in the Way of the Sword was terrifying!

Judging from that First Form of the ancient sword, his claim of ‘three years to Major Achievent in the Way of the Sword’ might not be an exaggeration!

The people of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion were all hardworking cultivators known as sword fanatics.

Jian Liu had been practicing the sword since he was young.

He had served the sword with his blood essence and had swung his sword ten thousand tis a day for years to perfect a single sword move.

The person he admired the most was the number one disciple of the Sword Pavilion, Su Shan.

But now he realized…

Su Shan?

Su Shan was nothing compared to Jiang Chen’s talent and aptitude in the Way of the Sword!

If it weren’t for the fact that good and evil could not coexist and there were too many eyes around at the mont, the sixth sword disciple would have knelt down to Jiang Chen right here and now!

There was no helping it. This was just too damn amazing!

The sixth sword disciple also secretly speculated that the reason why Jiang Chen’s na did not appear on the Heaven’s Pride Ranking was probably because Jiang Chen’s strength could no longer be described rely as ‘outstanding’!

He looked at Jiang Chen with trembling shoulders and eyes full of admiration.

“Clang—”

The hundred zhang long sword qi dissipated in the distance, but the sword cry lingered, and the sword intent remained.

The sixth sword disciple looked at the ravines on the ground, the distant broken mountains, and the clouds split in the sky, his gaze gradually becoming vacant.

Influenced by the sword intent, he had an epiphany.

In a daze… the sixth sword disciple seed to see an old man with white hair practicing the sword.

The elder’s posture was as straight as a sword piercing the sky.

From beginning to end, the elder had only one sword move, but with this one move, he could break the heavens and the earth, his sword intent swept across hundreds of li!

In his eyes, the world was nothing more than sothing to be cut.

After an unknown amount of ti, the sixth sword disciple finally ca back to his senses.

His eyes snapped open!

“Boom!”

A powerful aura burst forth from within him.

Influenced by this aura, the sword case on his back opened automatically, and an ancient sword flew out, hovering in the air and ringing ‘clang clang’!

It was clear to anyone with eyes that the sixth sword disciple had broken through!

By observing Jiang Chen’s single sword move, he had directly broken through his bottleneck and beca a cultivator with Major Achievent in the Way of the Sword!!

As everything cald down the sixth sword disciple could no longer contain his excitent and knelt down to Jiang Chen.

“Brother Jiang, for pointing out my flaws, you did not hesitate to expend your spiritual power to unleash that earth-shattering sword. Please accept my bow!” He began to kowtow.

“…”

At this mont, the scene was like dead silence.

The outstanding young cultivators around had strange expressions, unsure of what to say.

As for Jiang Chen… he regretted it.

He said he achieved Major Achievent in the Way of the Sword in three years, which was indeed bragging.

If you look at ‘this life’ alone, perhaps it was true.

But actually… this is his tenth reincarnation, his tenth life practicing the sword.

He was well aware that although he had talent in the Way of the Sword, he was definitely not a monstrous prodigy in the Way of the Sword.

And that sword just now… he just wanted to show off and shut people up.

But he never would have imagined that Jian Liu would actually grasp the Way of the Sword and reach Major Achievent from his First Form: Ancient Sword.

It had long been said that those with a high talent for the Way of the Sword could enhance their own understanding of it by observing others’ sword intent…

Indeed, the saying held true!

No wonder Jian Liu ranked sixth in the Heaven’s Pride Ranking. It seems he really has sothing special.

Thinking of the Heaven’s Pride Ranking, Jiang Chen felt annoyed again.

Then, with a lift of his leg, he kicked Jian Liu, who was kowtowing, straight into the lake.

Onlookers were all dumbfounded. Kicking soone who was bowing to him? Does he have no humanity at all?

【Host’s actions conform to the villain’s character setting, host’s cultivation level has been raised to the mid-stage of Heavenly Origin!】

“Haha.”

A surge of energy burst forth from within, and Jiang Chen laughed out loud.

At the sound of his voice, the cultivators first swallowed their saliva, then involuntarily shivered.

They all thought to themselves: This person is terrifying.

He actually grows stronger by bullying others!
