Chapter 1023: Bing Yuxia

The king currently had many followers and admirers. Some even said that his entourage was even bigger than Jikong Wudi’s.

The reason was very simple — the difference between the two. Jikong Wudi was a supreme genius who came from the s.p.a.ce Trample Mountain. Because of his triple saint apt.i.tudes, he was destined for greatness. It gave him the ultimate advantage.

In the eyes of many, he was the descendant of an Immortal Emperor, born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He was not in the same world as ordinary cultivators.

The Mortal King was different since he came from the Jewel Pillar Sacred School. Though the school was a great power, it was far lesser than an imperial lineage. The king’s talents during his younger years were much weaker than Jikong Wudi’s as well.

With an ordinary background and ordinary talents, the king won some and lost some to eventually became famous across the world. Now, he was on the same level as the unmatched group of Jikong Wudi, Mei Suyao, and Heavenly Emperor Lin.

In the eyes of many people, the king came from humble beginnings and was very similar to them. Perhaps one day, through sheer effort, they would be able to reach his level and fame as well.

This was the reason why he had so much support from the community. In their minds, the Mortal King was the War G.o.d who would definitely become an Immortal Emperor in the future.

So now, when someone claimed that he didn’t dare to challenge Bai Jianzhen, this naturally made his supporters unhappy and made them immediately defend him.

Not everyone found the Mortal King pleasant. Moreover, Bai Jianzhen was very brilliant at this moment as the number one sword user. To top it off, she was quite pretty as well. All of this resulted in her having a lot of fans.

“Hmph, War G.o.d? That’s only a self-proclaimed t.i.tle. It is fine if you call him War Fanatic though.” A Bai Jianzhen fan immediately sneered: “The Mortal King might have a fine battle record, but it was built upon many defeats. If he had died in any of those battles, he wouldn’t have the same accomplishments today. The only reason he is still alive is due to his backing.”

“And?” A Mortal King supporter fired back: “Bai Jianzhen might be strong, but she is still much weaker compared to the War G.o.d. Their record is two to one in favor of the War G.o.d right now. This shows the War G.o.d’s superiority.”

The Mortal King had fought Bai Jianzhen three times. He was the challenger for the first two bouts and had won both.

Bai Jianzhen’s admirer smiled sarcastically: “Really now? Yes, Sword G.o.ddess Bai lost twice before, but don’t forget that on the third duel, her dao of the sword reached the limit and crushed your War G.o.d until he had to muster all of his strength just to escape like a baby sucking on his mother’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s. He was being chased so hard that he almost had to hang himself and commit suicide out of fear...”

“... If someone didn’t come to save him, would your so-called War G.o.d still be alive? Hehehe, he would have become a pile of bones, just another soul dying under Sword G.o.ddess Bai’s sword!”

“You!” This made the king’s admirer turn ugly.

After losing twice to the Mortal King, Bai Jianzhen challenged him later on with all of her might. Under her rage, she was able to exert the limit of the sword dao. It was simply a display from a berserk G.o.d. Even the experienced Mortal King couldn’t match her.

That duel was the most miserable defeat the Mortal King had suffered. He was covered in injuries after being completely defeated by Bai Jianzhen. He ran for countless miles while she chased right behind and trapped him into a corner. Eventually, someone succeeded in secretly rescuing the king.

No one dared to underestimate Bai Jianzhen after this battle. They even called her the number one sword user!

Someone saw her carrying her sword and speculated: “I wonder if Sword G.o.ddess Bai will challenge Zhan s.h.i.+ at the plateau this time.”

Zhan s.h.i.+, a peerless genius, came from the Rampaging Divine Mountain of the western Desolate Wasteland. Bai Jianzhen, on the other hand, came from the Sword G.o.d Sacred Ground in the same region.

As the saying goes, a mountain does not have room for two tigers. Zhan s.h.i.+ had challenged Bai Jianzhen before. He lost the first time and won the second.

However, Bai Jianzhen’s dao of the sword was now untouchable. Her Supreme Sword Dao was a source of dread for just about anyone. Thus, many people guessed that she would challenge Zhan s.h.i.+ to wash away the shame of her past defeat.

A big shot from the last generation stated: “Zhan s.h.i.+ is going to the Four Buddhas Temple. I heard he wants to challenge the Buddhist law over there and use his dao foundation to withstand its power of conversion!”

“So strong, to dare to challenge the Buddhist law in that temple. I’m afraid even Jikong Wudi wouldn’t dare to do so.” Such news startled many people.

“Zhan s.h.i.+ is different, he is on a different path than Jikong Wudi.” Another big shot from the western region who knew about Zhan s.h.i.+ spoke.
