Chapter 21: The Final Battle

  Xie Shi's legacy was defeated, and his reputation fled.

  Although some people think that Ming Xiao is no worse than Tang An, however, since Ming Xiao himself has lost the desire to win, their persistence in his heart becomes useless.

  Undoubtedly, from then on, Tang An was the number one swordsman under the heavens!

  Dororo also won, his opponent was a master of the staff. Unfortunately, even if he practiced his staff skills to become one with the staff, he couldn't withstand Dororo's divine and ghostly slash.

  And Duolana's one knife was not a sneak attack, but a fair and square one. When his opponent was confident and had just unleashed the maximum power of his shadowy stick technique, he swung out that one knife.

  At that time, everyone saw the trajectory of Doron's one knife. In fact, that one knife was not fast, and everyone also clearly saw the trajectory of that one knife. But it was just an ordinary-looking one knife later, and Doron won.

  When people's eyes see the knife being swung out, in fact, the knife has already arrived at its destination.

  This knife has reached the ultimate, and in the Jianghu, it is called 【Shadow Moon Song】. Because, Du Luo's knife was called 【Shadow Moon】. The whistling sound of this knife is naturally the song of Shadow Moon.

  Tang An, on the other hand, won even more easily. He simply revealed the tip of his Frost Sword and his opponent, a master known as the "Absolute Blade", surrendered and fled in defeat.

  Because Jue Dao had once crossed hands with Xie Shi Yi, he was not an opponent for Xie Shi Yi at all. Moreover, at that time, Xie Shi Yi did not use his own Purple Thunder Nine Swords.

  Even if he won against Xie Shi Yi, how could he win against Tian Jian Tang An who was already filled with killing intent?

  Death is terrifying for anyone. Especially for someone like him who has worked hard all his life and finally got a reputation as a master swordsman.

  This title is not just pleasant to hear, but also represents wealth, power and face! He can afford to lose a fight, but he can't afford to be hurt! When injured, there will always be many troubles, especially for this kind of Jianghu person. He escaped the fight, but can still linger on, continuing his domineering ways, why not? Moreover, he didn't even lose that badly, after all, he was one of the top four!

  The top four is already an unparalleled honor. Even Ming Xiao only ranked in the top eight. And that's Ming Xiao! The young master of Ming Jian Mountain Manor!

  So, naturally, the final was held between Doro and Tang An.

  …………

  Duō Luó, the first gate of Xiyu, under the North Star Pavilion, a disciple of Wàn Lěi Zōng. He was once one of the seven strongest warriors under Wàn Lěi Zōng's seat, known as Yāo Dāo. Twenty years ago, he roamed the desert, and no one under the heavens could match him. But for some reason, ten years ago, he suddenly became a subordinate of Qín Qīng Xiàng, becoming his first general.

  There are reliable rumors that Du Luo has already reached the state of great perfection of internal energy, and only needs to realize his divine thoughts to enter the heavenly realm. He entered Qin Qing's mansion because Qin Qing had a way to help him obtain the [Divine Heart Fruit], which would allow him to open up his divine thoughts and enter the heavenly realm.

  And on the other side of the final is a rising star in recent days, with a reputation that's growing by the day and an unstoppable momentum, Tianjian Tang An.

  After a battle with Xie Shi Yi, the current Tang An is no longer that arrogant young man who only stayed in other people's mouths to discuss, fighting against hundreds alone.

  Being able to defeat the young master of Shen Jian Mountain Villa, Xie Shi Yi, is in itself an unthinkable matter for anyone.

  Anything that is associated with the Divine Sword Villa will immediately become a well-known major event in Jianghu. Moreover, Tang An was two years younger than Xie Shi Yi, and he had just turned 16 after passing his birthday on June 6th!

  But now he has become the most formidable master in this arena!

  This is too unbelievable!

  Thus, he naturally became the most dazzling master in this arena!

  …………

  The sun has begun to set in the west, and the red sunlight also reveals a hint of blood color, illuminating the yellow sand flying all over the campus even more beautifully.

  Yellow sand flies, like golden powder sprinkling in the sky, giving this campus a thick layer of enchanting canvas.

  The canvas has been unfolded...

  On the high platform, Tang An lowered his head, and in his hand was a white silk handkerchief with an embroidered peony flower, which was a golden peony that had bloomed to its most resplendent state.

  He lowered his head and was wiping his sword.

  His sword had no blood on it, and the blade was already extremely bright, but he was still carefully wiping it.

  The sunset is setting in the west, a little red, shining on the sword body, reflecting a dazzling light.

  This brilliant light seeped into people's hearts, accompanied by the chilling aura on the Frost Sword, making people even more frightened.

  But then, someone suddenly looked at this frightening sword and exclaimed: "His sword is really beautiful..."

  Unexpectedly, these words were spoken by the usually taciturn Golden Masked Man. This left both Doro and Leng Wujue momentarily stunned.

  In fact, this golden-faced man was also a swordsman. A swordsman who had not touched a sword in ten years.

  His sword is stuck on the tenth peak outside Ling Xiao City, in the Jade Flower Palace, amidst the green smoke and cold pool!

  He had sworn an oath, never to enter the heavenly realm, and would never return to Ling Xiao City. He couldn't go back, so naturally he couldn't touch his own sword.

  Fortunately, this day will soon pass. He finally found his own way.

  The sky had already darkened, but the number of people watching this final battle did not decrease, on the contrary, it increased...

  The broad fighting platform was thirty meters long and thirty meters wide. No matter who it was, there was enough room for a fierce battle on top of it.

  The four corners of the high platform were lit with four huge fire basins, and soldiers poured oil into the fire basins. Instantly, the flames leapt even higher. The light that had dimmed due to the setting sun suddenly illuminated everyone's face again.

  Their faces were filled with intense excitement and thick anticipation!

  They're all waiting for this final battle!

  This is the number one battle under the heavens, how many people may not see it in their lifetime. They are fortunate to be in Yanjing, where many masters aspire to make a name for themselves in this battle!

  Duoluo had also climbed onto the stage. He stood opposite Tang An, with a knife hanging from his waist. It was a curved knife, a type of Hu knife. However, it differed slightly from ordinary Hu knives. The curvature of this knife was greater, resembling a crescent moon.

  On the hilt was written in Hu script: "Shadow Moon".

  The moon, everyone saw it. But what about the shadow, who saw it?

  Yes, unfortunately those who saw his shadow all lost to him!

  Duō luó wò zhe dāo, suī rán dāo hái wèi chū qiào, kě shì nà yī gǔ nóng yù de shā qì, jiù xiàng shì xióng xióng rán shāo de huǒ yàn yì bān lóng zhe tā quán shēn. Jǐn guò gé zhe gāo tái, suǒ yǒu rén dōu lí tā hěn yuǎn, dàn shì suǒ yǒu rén hái shì néng cóng tā shēn shàng gǎn shòu dào nà yī gǔ qiáng dà de yā zhì gǎn.

  Duoluo's expressionless face stared at Tang An, thinking to himself: "He is my last target. The ten-year deadline has arrived. Once I get the Divine Heart Fruit and enter the Heavenly Realm, I should also return. On the banks of the Three Paths River, the flowers must have already bloomed. Human Path, Immortal Path, Devil Path, I should also make my final choice."

  At this moment, Du Luo suddenly raised his head and asked Tang An: "Are you Tang An?"

  Tang An was still wiping the sword blade, very carefully, when he heard Du Luo's words. He suddenly stopped his movements. The sword in his hand flipped over and shook, and the white silk handkerchief instantly shattered into pieces and scattered away.

  "Not bad, I am Tang An."

  "Why do you want to wipe your sword?"

  Tang An sheathed his sword, holding it horizontally in front of him, carefully examining the sharp blade. The cold light emanating from the blade seemed to pierce through him, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He then stretched out a finger to touch the blade, which felt very cold.

  He immediately showed a satisfied expression.

  "Because you will definitely die! I wipe my sword, because after all, you are a rare master. Even if you are to die under my sword, I hope this sword is clean. And your fresh blood flowing on this sword does not need to be polluted by the dust on the sword." Although Tang An was young and his appearance looked very youthful, when he said these words, his face was cold and stern, and he did not look like he was joking at all.

  Everyone heard what Tang An said, and the moment they heard it, they felt a chill run down their spine, even their pores shrinking. Their hearts were also weighed down by a heavy pressure, unable to breathe.

  Duoluo also felt this pressure, but his eyes were as cold and ruthless as Tang An's. He wasn't afraid at all. Because he was confident that he wouldn't lose!

  His confidence is built on the hands of countless failures!

  For under the heavens, he has never been defeated!

  "You want to kill me? Haha... this joke isn't funny."

  Duō luó said, the momentum suddenly surged up, a strong killing intent that was even stronger than Táng ān's instantly enveloped the entire high platform, and the airflow on the high platform seemed to solidify as well.

  Duoluo's words suddenly changed direction, staring straight at Tang An, coldly saying: "The one who will die is you!"

  …………

  Yuan Wanli saw Duo Luo's aura from under the stage, and in an instant, his heart sank.

  "This Du Luo is indeed formidable, with a fierce killing intent, absolutely not an ordinary person! I wonder if Tang An can defeat him?"

  The terrifying Western Region Demon Sword, his true energy has already reached a high level of completion, and coupled with his extensive battle experience, his strength is indeed immeasurable! Yuan Wanli had already begun to worry about Tang An. Although Tang An's strength was always unclear in his eyes, Yuan Wanli felt that Tang An's growth rate was simply too fast.

  But after all, Tang An was indeed too young, and his combat experience might still be insufficient.

  Can he defeat Dorohedoro?

  Just then, the scene changed suddenly.

  Frost condenses into snow, a pale blue cold light suddenly flashes...

  In an instant, a sword aura shot up into the sky and headed straight for Doruo!

  Tang An has drawn his sword!
