Chapter 1561: Chapter 1659: The Fad Sword Supre Abyss
A powerful voice emanated from outside the Sky Swallowing Palace, seemingly so distance away, yet it carried a piercing intensity, as though it ant to intimidate everyone within the Sky Swallowing Palace.
Several masked figures showed anger in their eyes, and Dugu Nian even cracked a sneer.
“Sealing Sword Pavilion really has so tricks up its sleeves. They have only just erged and are already hitting us at the Sky Swallowing Palace,” Dugu Nian said with a laugh.
Standing behind him, Nangong Shoujian muttered the na ng Jun Lai, then he suddenly rembered and said to Dugu Nian and Fang Lin, “This old man knows of ng Jun Lai. On the last Sword Head List that the Sealing Sword Pavilion announced before they disappeared, this man resided at the very top, recognized as the preeminent swordsman of the world at the ti!”
Upon hearing this, everyone, apart from Dugu Nian and Fang Lin, exhibited a look of surprise, evidently not expecting ng Jun Lai to have such an illustrious reputation and having once been the top swordsman of the world, a title indeed extraordinary.
“Sword Head List leader? The top swordsman in the world? Is that very impressive? Weren’t you also once a Sword Head?” Dugu Nian asked nonchalantly.
Nangong Shoujian let out a wry smile, “How could I claim the title of Sword Head? At that ti, I rely received the na of the top young swordsman of my generation, and even then, the Sealing Sword Pavilion had vanished, making that title of little significance.”
“So how formidable is this ng Jun Lai in your knowledge?” Fang Lin inquired.
Nangong Shoujian pondered for a mont before replying, “This man and I do not hail from the sa era, and I have never seen him in action. However, in the eyes of us sword practitioners, ng Jun Lai was indeed regarded as the top swordsman in the world, surpassing all other Sword Tao experts of the ti, dominating the top spot on the Sword Head List for an extended period.”
“After all this discussion, you still haven’t explained how formidable ng Jun Lai is. From what I see, this title of the top swordsman in the world is nothing special,” Silver Fox said with a laugh from the side.
Nangong Shoujian appeared sowhat embarrassed, yet it was true that his understanding of ng Jun Lai was indeed limited to hearsay and not much else.
“Regardless of how strong ng Jun Lai is, since he has co knocking, let’s make sure he cannot return,” Dugu Nian stated, putting on the Kylin mask. Dressed in a fluttering red robe, he flew out of the Sky Swallowing Palace.
Fang Lin and several masked figures also exited the Sky Swallowing Palace, but they did not take to the sky, choosing instead to observe the battle from outside the Palace.
In the distance high in the sky stood a middle-aged man with a kind face and a resolute deanor, exuding an aura of integrity. He cradled a sword in his arms, gazing intently at Dugu Nian from afar.
“It really is ng Jun Lai!” Nangong Shoujian exclaid in surprise. He had seen portraits of ng Jun Lai, and the man’s appearance indeed matched that of the top figure on the historical Sword Head List.
“So you are the Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace?” ng Jun Lai’s eyes were fixed on Dugu Nian as he spoke.
“I am,” Dugu Nian responded coldly, taking the asure of ng Jun Lai as well.
A serious expression slowly erged on ng Jun Lai’s firm and stern face. From this Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace, he felt an imnsely heavy pressure.
Having been the top swordsman in the world, ng Jun Lai had not felt such intense pressure for a very long ti, so much so that it was slightly suffocating him.
However, the stronger the opponent, the greater the excitent in ng Jun Lai’s heart. For a swordsman, the joy lies in challenging a more formidable opponent; without an adversary, true boredom sets in.
“I am ng Jun Lai. I hope that the Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace will accept my challenge with a single sword strike. If you can withstand it, I will leave this very mont. If not, I implore you and your subordinates to retreat and vanish from the lands of the Nine Countries imdiately. Otherwise, my Sealing Sword Pavilion will begin a siege on the Sky Swallowing Palace,” ng Jun Lai stated gravely, his words exuding pride despite the imnse pressure he felt from Dugu Nian.
Dugu Nian let out a disdainful chuckle after hearing these words.
“How audacious of Sealing Sword Pavilion, even Hidden Kill Hall doesn’t dare to say they’ll besiege my Sky Swallowing Palace. Where does Sealing Sword Pavilion find the courage?” Dugu Nian sneered.
ng Jun Lai’s expression remained usual as he held the sword that he had been carrying, and said, “Those vile vermin of Hidden Kill Hall, how can they compare to my Sealing Sword Pavilion? If Hidden Kill Hall can’t extinguish your Sky Swallowing Palace, it doesn’t an Sealing Sword Pavilion can’t.”
Dugu Nian laughed heartily and stretched out his hand, beckoning ng Jun Lai with a flick of his finger: “Make your move. You have only one chance with your sword. If you can’t injure with that one strike, then you and your sword will both be left behind for .”
ng Jun Lai’s brows furrowed slightly. As the once premier swordsman of an era, he naturally felt sowhat uncomfortable with Dugu Nian’s contempt.
“This sword is called Supre Abyss, be wary, Sky Swallowing Palace Master,” declared ng Jun Lai as he solemnly drew the sword from its sheath.
Standing outside the Sky Swallowing Palace, Nangong Shoujian’s expression changed upon hearing the words ‘Supre Abyss’ and said to the crowd, “It’s actually the Supre Abyss that ranked seventh on the ancient sword rankings in the past. This sword is indeed formidable.”
“Supre Abyss? I seem to have heard of it too,” Silver Fox said thoughtfully.
“Yes, the ancient sword rankings once published by Sealing Sword Pavilion saw many changes in the rankings of many famous swords, but the top ten famous swords rarely fluctuated, and Supre Abyss was one of them,” Zhong Wuwei nodded in agreent.
“Sword Head List? Do we have soone in Sky Swallowing Palace who owns a sword from the Sword Head List?” Fang Lin turned around and asked.
Nangong Shoujian chuckled, “I’m quite fortunate to have a sword that once ranked thirteenth on the Sword Head List called Bamboo Shadow.”
“Only the thirteenth?” Fang Lin expressed his disdain.
Nangong Shoujian beca anxious: “A ranking of thirteen is already very advanced. Because those swords ranked in the top ten are mostly in the Sealing Sword Pavilion, and they disappeared along with Sealing Sword Pavilion in the past. If Sealing Sword Pavilion had not reerged, our Bamboo Shadow would also be considered a rare famous sword.”
Speaking of that so-called Bamboo Shadow, the forr Sword Head Nangong showed a face full of pride and satisfaction, evidently very fond of Bamboo Shadow.
“What about the sword ranked first? What is it called?” Fang Lin asked curiously.
Nangong Shoujian’s expression changed, and he said in a low voice, “It’s said that Sealing Sword Pavilion once nad an ancient sword called Clear Rainbow as the first, but it seems that even Sealing Sword Pavilion failed to find it, and later excluded it from the list. The real sword that tops the Sword Head List is a sword known as Firefly.”
“Firefly? Why is the na so odd?” Fang Lin laughed.
“It’s not only the na that’s odd but also the reason why this sword is ranked first on the Sword Head List is sowhat unclear, because hardly anyone has seen Firefly. It’s just that Sealing Sword Pavilion insisted on ranking this sword first,” explained Nangong Shoujian.
At this mont, under the sky, the once number one swordsman in the world, ng Jun Lai, was concentrating intently on Dugu Nian, with the famous sword Supre Abyss already unsheathed.
“What a famous sword!” Dugu Nian squinted his eyes, feeling an extrely formidable Sword Qi, as though he was not facing a single man with a sword, but a sea of swords.
