Chapter 1429: The Zhang Family Has Arrived!

"So, when facing the Zhang family in battle, you can first defend with Flowing Water Sword Intent, then counterattack. With the two working together, even Zhang Xu won't be a match; you can easily defeat him!"

Jian Qinsheng continued.

He couldn't stand against the Zhang family, but the person before him could.

Having comprehended two true interpretations of the sword, his understanding of swordsmanship already surpassed his by an unknown margin. As long as these two complemented each other without error, his sword techniques at the same level would be absolutely invincible!

Even if Xingmeng Sword Saint were stronger, at the same level, he would find it hard to contend, just like how he was beaten without any ability to fight back.

Unless... the opponent also comprehended two true interpretations, like the person before him!

"Of course, Zhang Xu is just a genius from the Zhang family studying at the Holy Son Hall, not necessarily the strongest or most formidable. When we arrive, be cautious in everything and never underestimate the enemy!"

Saying this, Jian Qinsheng's expression turned grave. "Especially that little genius. To this day, no one knows anything about him. If I'm not mistaken, he will likely appear this time, shocking the world with an invincible demeanor!"

"Little genius?"

"Yes. The last Zhang family assembly was his full moon celebration, announcing his strength to the world. For twenty years, there has been no news. I suspect the Zhang family deliberately hid him, aiming for this moment to make a stunning debut and let everyone know just how strong he is!"

Jian Qinsheng said.

Zhang Xuan clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing.

The other party was right.

Given the Zhang family's shameless nature, they might indeed do such a thing.

Being deliberately mysterious, saying things that are ambiguous and confusing, while actually saving this guy for the most critical moment.

Born a saint... To be honest, it was hard not to feel pressured.

After all, Luo Ruoxin, without such an ability, already possessed strength far surpassing his. The other party was born into the Zhang family, with countless resources and unparalleled talent—who knew what realm he had already reached?

"Actually, don't be nervous. Even if you lose to him, it's not a big deal. Being born a saint—even Master Kong couldn't achieve that. If you can't match him, no one will say much."

Seeing his expression, Jian Qinsheng comforted him.

But the comfort only made Zhang Xuan's face look even worse.

Lose to that show-off?

Dream on!

"Senior, do you have any cultivation techniques for the Entering Void realm? The more, the better!"

His face shifting between emotions, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth.

He had consolidated the Saint Domain Sixth Layer Domain Realm for over twenty days. Since that little genius was likely to appear, it was time to find a way to break through quickly!

Otherwise, with such a gap between them, what right did he have to teach the other a lesson?

"Cultivation techniques for the Entering Void realm? I only have one, left by my ancestors..."

Knowing the other's fondness for reading, Jian Qinsheng wasn't surprised. He flipped his wrist and took out a book, handing it over.

"Thank you!"

Taking it casually, Zhang Xuan stored it in his mind.

It was indeed a set of cultivation techniques for the Entering Void realm, of extremely high level, containing sword intent. It should be his unique cultivation method.

With a thought, he merged it with the techniques he had collected before.

"There's still one flaw..."

His eyes lit up.

He had already gathered many Entering Void realm techniques. Combined, they had formed a Heavenly Dao technique, but there were still a few imperfections that made it difficult to cultivate.

Now, after merging this technique, only one flaw remained.

Just as he was about to study how to fill the last one, Jian Qinsheng's voice rang out again: "By the way, this time you're not coming as my student to exchange with the Zhang family, but as my fellow disciple of the same generation!"

"Fellow disciple?" Zhang Xuan looked up.

"You observed the 'sword' character and mastered the Flowing Water Sword Technique. I couldn't even do that, so I'm not qualified to call you my student. It's better to say you're my fellow disciple. That way, we won't blow our cover!"

Jian Qinsheng said.

He himself was inferior to the other in understanding swordsmanship, so having him pose as a student was clearly inappropriate.

The other had comprehended the 'sword' character and learned the Flowing Water Sword Technique, effectively inheriting the ancestor's legacy. They shared the same origin, and his understanding was even deeper. Such a title was not excessive.

Understanding his meaning, Zhang Xuan nodded.

Identity didn't matter to him. As long as he could teach the Zhang family a lesson, even hiding his identity was fine.

"Alright, take some time to adjust. Once we reach the Zhang family, it won't be as leisurely as now!"

Having said what needed to be said, Jian Qinsheng spoke.

Zhang Xuan nodded, said no more, and closed his eyes to adjust his state and power.

After an unknown time, his body suddenly shook, and he felt a powerful pressure sweeping down from the sky. He quickly opened his eyes and heard a voice: "Friends ahead, please state your names for advance registration..."

Looking out the window, he saw several old men standing on the backs of sacred beasts, clasping their fists.

From a distance, he couldn't tell how strong they were, but combined with the sacred beasts, their aura sealed off the surroundings, making it impossible to break through.

"I am Jian Qinsheng of the Holy Son Hall, invited here. This is my invitation."

Jian Qinsheng flicked his wrist, and a jade talisman flew straight forward, landing in an old man's palm.

"So it's Sword Saint Qinsheng. My apologies. This way, please..."

Glancing down, the old man quickly said.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Nodding, Jian Qinsheng guided the sacred beast beneath him to descend slowly.

Still in the air, Zhang Xuan looked ahead and saw a huge town appear before him.

The city, leaning against the mountain range, formed a dragon-tiger configuration, dense with various formations, like a coiled dragon and crouching tiger. Forcing an entry would be difficult even for Saint Domain Eighth Layer, or even Ninth Layer, or even a true Nine-Star Master Teacher.

"The Zhang family is also called Dragon Tiger City. The various formations were personally arranged by the Zhang family ancestor, with boundless power... These few are elders. Ostensibly welcoming guests, they are actually showing off their strength to everyone, telling the world they are not to be violated..."

Jian Qinsheng transmitted his voice.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

These elders, combined with the surrounding formations, indeed gave a sense of controlling the grand momentum of heaven and earth. Those slightly weaker might, without even fighting, feel an inability to contend.

Once that thought arose, it would be hard to eliminate.

"Quite the display, even a show of force... Who spoiled them, I wonder..."

Snorting coldly, Zhang Xuan looked up at the dense array before him.

As a guest, the host should offer the warmest welcome, not a show of force. This already displeased him.

Since that was the case, let him see just how powerful their show of force really was.

His eyes narrowed as he looked at the great formation, and he couldn't help but murmur inwardly.

"Flaw!"

Whoosh!

A book appeared in his mind.
