The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 144: Swordsmanship

Although they could feel the extremely powerful aura of the newcomer, Zhang Liang and Fu Nian remained calm. Their eyes were fixed on each other. They were fighting with swords and also using this opportunity to explore the mysteries of the sword.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance. The man was filled with a strong murderous aura, violent and terrifying. Even without looking, Zhang Liang could guess who this person was. Among the seven countries, only one person's sword intent was so heavy and fierce and wild, and that was the black swordsman Shengqi.

In the past six months, Shengqi's reputation has risen rapidly, even surpassing Zhang Liang's, because of a prominent title on his head - the traitor of the Nong family. What is even more surprising is that this traitor can escape from the pursuit of the Nong family time and time again, leaving the Nong family helpless against him.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the farmers had not really put their full strength into dealing with Shengqi, otherwise, not to mention just one Shengqi, even ten of them would have been dead.

In recent times, Shengqi has been rampaging in the martial arts world, constantly challenging major sword masters. Countless souls have been killed under the Juque sword in his hand, and he has become one of the few young grandmaster-level powerhouses in the world.

What's more, not long ago, he challenged a swordsman in Qi and killed him, which angered many Qi nobles, so much so that he was arrested and imprisoned, and the words "death edict" were carved on his body, which meant that he would be killed. However, now, he appeared in the territory of Qin.

As soon as Sheng Qi arrived, he joined the sword competition between Zhang Liang and Fu Nian without hesitation. He did not exchange ideas like them, but directly launched a sword attack.

"How brave you are!" Zhang Liang was slightly angry, and a surge of sword intent forced towards Shengqi.

The sword-will competition is not only about comparing the sword-fighting skills, but also about the strength of the mental power. The duel between Zhang Liang and Fu Nian was mainly a contest of sword-fighting realms. They learned from each other and did not really use their mental power to fight, so there was no danger to their lives.

However, facing Shengqi who intervened, Zhang Liang was not so polite. Once he released his mental power, he immediately displayed a strength far beyond Shengqi. His mental power was so strong that it was comparable to that of a master like Chisongzi.

Shengqi lost his balance for a moment, groaned, and took several steps back.

"Little guy, teach him a lesson!" Zhang Liang shouted.

The little monkey who was originally playing in the bushes somewhere suddenly turned into a golden light and pounced towards Shengqi. Whether in terms of strength or speed, it was superior to the current Shengqi and could deal with him with ease.

At the same time, Zhang Liang no longer had the heart to compete with Fu Nian in sword skills. He suddenly thrust out the sword in his hand, like a streak of light, and went straight to Fu Nian's throat.

"Saint King Sword Technique!" Fu Nian shouted and swung his sword to meet the attack.

The two men were unreserved at this moment, and each used their most powerful skills as soon as they attacked, because in the previous sword competition, they both realized that ordinary moves were ineffective against each other.

"Ding!"

The two swords collided, and the tips of the swords pressed tightly against each other, without any difference.

Zhang Liang activated his true energy and with a thought, he summoned the power of the Sword of Immortality. In an instant, the power of the Sword of Immortality increased by 30%, becoming sharp, heavy, and chilling.

As the power of the sword exploded, Fu Nian took three steps back, and his hand holding the sword was shaking slightly.

In this world, swords are all forged, and their power can only be fully displayed, and cannot be hidden. Zhang Liang's Changsheng Sword, on the other hand, was made through the use of weapon refining techniques. When it is not activated, it is just a sharp weapon, but once it is activated, its power is extremely powerful.

Zhang Liang silently calculated in his mind, and roughly understood the level of this world's top sword. In Fu Nian's hands, the Tai'a Sword could already exert 60% to 70% of its power, which was comparable to a mid-grade spiritual weapon. If it were to fully unleash its power, it should be comparable to a top-grade spiritual weapon.

"The Nine Cauldrons are probably also equivalent to magic weapons!" Zhang Liang thought to himself. Ever since Bei Mingzi got the ancient sword in the ancient ruins, he has become more and more interested in the powerful weapons in this world.

Even that ancient sword can be compared to a magic weapon, so what about the Nine Cauldrons? What about the legendary Xuanyuan Sword?

"Zifang's swordsmanship is superb, Fu Nian admires him!" At this moment, Fu Nian put away the Taia sword, smiled and bowed to Zhang Liang. There was no frustration or indignation on his face, which showed that his state of mind was extremely cultivated.

"Brother Fu Nian is also a master!" Zhang Liang smiled and retracted his sword. For them, this competition was just a competition for learning from each other, and there was no need to care too much about winning or losing.

Fu Nian turned his gaze to a place not far away, and saw Sheng Qi holding Juque and fighting fiercely with the little golden monkey, with bloody scratches all over his body.

"Brother Zifang, may I have a word with you?" Fu Nian asked.

Zhang Liang smiled faintly and said, "I had expected that Brother Fu Nian had stayed here not just to learn swordsmanship."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liang flashed and with a few jumps he was already a hundred meters away.

Fu Nian was not slow either. He could cover a distance of more than ten feet with one step, and he still maintained his dignity and demeanor while walking.

"Brother Zifang, no one will disturb us here, we can speak freely." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"Thank you Brother Zifang for your understanding. This time I came here without permission to watch the contest between the Tian and Ren sects. In fact, it was mainly to find Brother Zifang." Fu Nian said with a fist salute.
