With just one person, overthrowing an entire martial arts sect's power, such rumors sound exciting, but it is actually not very difficult. Many martial artists at the first-grade level can achieve this.
The problem is that the martial arts factions those people have extinguished are mostly at the second or third tier level, which is completely different from extinguishing a martial arts sanctuary like Wu Jian Maoling, and the difficulty of completion between the two is also vast.
To understand, Wu family's Sword Tomb is a place brimming with experts. The number of first-grade martial artists on the surface alone is more than just a handful of fingers, not to mention the profound roots of the Wu family. Who knows how many immortal ancestors might be hiding in the Sword Tomb as their last resort.
Even without them, Wu family has a large number of powerful sword slaves and relatives at the second-level small sect master level, who can form a strong sword array to resist foreign enemies at any time.
Just as in the past, Dong Jian Xī Yǐn, Wu family used only nine swords to break through ten thousand armors.
And on the territory of Wu Family's Sword Tomb itself, they can truly stand up to a thousand armies and ten thousand horses without being at a disadvantage.
This is also the main reason why Wu family has stood firm in the martial arts world for nearly a millennium and has never weakened.
However, even so, Wu family's Sword Tomb was still defeated, completely and utterly.
They used their own strength to highlight the terror and extraordinariness of the Sword Demon, and at the same time, they also shocked all martial artists and swordsmen in the entire martial arts world. It seemed as though everyone was witnessing the rise of a new generation of swordsmanship legend, evoking a sense of pride and joy in being a part of it.
"You say, this Sword Demon... hiccup! Could it be possible that he surpasses the one in the Imperial City?"
Between pushing cups and exchanging toasts, a bearded man with a mustache, belching and flushed with red, said.
Upon hearing this, the martial artists at the surrounding tables exchanged glances, and the environment around them grew quiet.
Who is the one in the Imperial City?
There is no doubt that it refers to the person who goes by the moniker "the second best in the world," but in reality is the first, Wang Xianzhi, also known as Wang Laodao.
Since more than thirty years ago, when Wang Xianzhi broke the wooden horse and cow of the Sword God Li Chunyang with just two fingers, becoming the rightful "Number One in the World," he has become the personal demon of all martial artists under heaven.
He founded the Imperial City, ruled the martial arts world for more than half a century, and participated in nearly a thousand battles without a loss. When Wang Xianzhi faced his enemies, he only used one hand and suppressed his own cultivation to the same level as his opponent, so that they would try their best to fight him and lose willingly.
In addition to this, he once clashed with the Eastern Yue Dynasty and also fought alone, using a pair of iron fists to break through six thousand elite troops, entering and exiting three times.
At the same time, he also killed all the elite warriors in another swordsmanship sanctuary, the Eastern Yue Sword Pool, inflicting such heavy losses that it has not fully recovered to this day.
In terms of achievements, the Sword Demon and Wang Xianzhi seem to be on par with each other. However, the former seems to be more ruthless in his actions, while the latter has been accumulating his reputation for a long time, making it difficult to determine who is higher and who is lower.
So, after a brief silence, a new round of discussion began in the tea house, and the atmosphere gradually became noisy.
At the same time, in a corner near the window of the tea house, a handsome young man in a green robe was sitting quietly there, ignoring the commotion nearby. He was sipping tea and listening to the people's casual chat, his lips curves into a faint smile.
"Humph! A bunch of mediocre swordsmen, Wang Laodao is no match for Xiange brother. How dare they even compare with you."
Disdainful voice sounded on the opposite side of the teenager, and then a little boy who looked to be just over ten years old, was frowning and muttering:
"It's just that he's lived a few decades more, what's so great about that? If it weren't for Xiange brother being born late and hiding in the Wu Family Sword Tomb for these years, the title of 'Number One in the World' would have changed hands long ago."
"Haha! Indeed, your flattery skills have improved quickly."
Hearing this, the young man in green clothes smiled slightly and put a tray of jujube cake on the table in front of the little boy. Then he reached out and rubbed his head roughly before saying seriously:
"You, don't underestimate the heroes of the world either. Take Wang Xianzhi for example; this man is truly a rare martial arts talent that comes around every thousand years."
"With his current cultivation level, looking back through history and present, only a few people can match him. And if he lives for another twenty years, I'm afraid even the legendary Lü Zǔ may not be able to defeat him."
"Is Wang Xianzhi really that powerful?"
Hearing the teenager's evaluation of Wang Xianzhi, the little boy also looked surprised and turned to the teenager confidently, "No matter how it goes, he definitely doesn't have Xiange brother as strong as you."
To this, the teenager only smiled and said nothing, as if he had tacitly accepted it.
Um, having reached this point, I believe many of you have guessed the identity of the young man in green... That's right, he is Wu Xian from the Snowy World. And at this moment, in the teahouse, the Sword Demon that everyone is talking about also refers to him.
The specific details of the story need to be traced back to six years ago.
At that time, Wu Xian had just awakened the Golden Finger and entered the mysterious space. Due to his encounter with the time traveler who had completed the exchange of Kryptonian bloodline, Wu Xian, his physical quality surged explosively when he returned to the Snowy World.
In terms of the martial arts system of this world, Wu Xian's physical strength at that time was already not inferior to a top-grade martial artist at the Great Golden Diamond level, and even approached that of a Land Immortal.
However, due to the restrictions of the world's rules, he is unable to immediately convert all the shared power into combat strength.
For this reason, Wu Xian did not immediately retaliate and take revenge on the entire Wu family. Instead, he chose to remain hidden and gradually demonstrated his remarkable talent. He quickly gained the attention of the top brass at Wu Family and was given the opportunity to learn high-level martial arts and swordsmanship.
On the other hand, he obtained various cultivation scripts from the time traveler Wu Xian, including《Jiuyang Sword Cultivation》、《Jiuyin Realm》、《Heaven and Earth Exchange of Yin and Yang Great Sorrowful Palaces》。Ultimately, through a drawing of lots, he decided to take《Jiuyang Sword Cultivation》as the main cultivation method, while the other two were given to the Wu Xian of Tang Dynasty and Ancient Wu for cultivation.
Since these three internal cultivation manuals are all main god versions, they can easily be fused with any type of martial arts system and will not produce any conflicts.
Thus, Wu Xian spent about six years and finally cultivated the Jiuyang (Nine Yang) Martial Arts to a level of complete mastery, formally stepping into the level of First-grade Tianxiang (Heavenly Phenomenon), enabling the realization of most of his potential within.
Seeing the time was ripe, Wu Xian no longer cared about his pseudo-relationship with the Wu family and directly took the initiative, sparking a massive rebellion.
In just one day, a total of eight hundred martial artists at the level of Wan lv (entry-level) or higher in the Wu Family Sword Tomb were directly shattered by Wu Xian's fists, killing over three hundred.
Most of these people had once bullied the illegitimate children of the Wu family.
A small number of people may not have been directly involved, but they cannot completely escape the relationship, and they were all sent to the Western Paradise to repent to Buddha.
As for the remaining five hundred or so, who were not killed but lost their foundation of cultivation, they would never be able to practice martial arts again in their lifetime and turned into ordinary people with no strength.
It's not over yet.
Although Wu Xian did not kill these people, he established a rule that they must change their surnames, they could choose from any surname in the Hundred Family Clan, but they must not bear the surname Wu!
Don't you guys claim to be the legitimate lineage of the Wu family? Don't you guys look down on illegitimate children?
Since that's the case, I will destroy your pride at the root so that you can no longer claim to be Wu family members.
Even your descendants can only use other surnames, which means, in another sense, that the Wu Family Sword Tomb's succession has been completely cut off.
No way to kill a man is more devastating than this!
As for why Wu Xian didn't change his surname himself...
Haha, my Wu is Wu Xian's Wu, and it has nothing to do with your Wu Family Sword Tomb.
It's more accurate to say that you lot are of what level and deserve to share the same surname with me?
All of you, change your surnames by my order!
