Chapter 574: Is this destiny? (1) (1/2)
Five days passed and then it was time. Azief in that morning walk to the Thousand Pillars. It was called Thousand Pillars because it was filled with sandstone pillars and peaks
These peak measured in around 250 meters in height and it was very small area of surface which one could only stand on it. It is a test of balance.
When Azief arrived there he could see ravines and gorges with attractive streams, pools, lakes, rivers and waterfalls in the distance.
Around the area there were many caves and there is a bridge that was formed by nature called the Bridge Reaching the Heavens
When Azief had arrived, the many martial artists that didn't want to miss the duel, also arrived.
They waited around the bottom of the peaks and waited. A few moments later, Sword of Justice Fang Jian arrived.
This time, he no longer looks as listless and weak as before.
It is clear to everyone that have seen the pathetic state of the Sect leader of the Sword Residence that Fang Jian had recovered and the cure that the Sword God has brought to the Sword Residence is the real deal.
Everyone felt happy about this matter from the disciple of the Sword Residence to the orthodox sect members in the crowd.
Sword of Justice had recovered and many of the people in the crowd know that when this news is spread after this, those evil people, bandits, robbers, rapist and killers will think twice before they once again commit the crime.
Fang Jian begins the duel by first thanking the Sword God for thinking about the welfare of the world
To this, Azief said nothing.
Fang Jian then reaffirm his decision before and said as long as Sword God did not disdain him and his sect, Azief and his people would always find an ally in him.
Azief then had to explain. He said to Fang Jian he had long admired him and his terrible fate of dying of poison is not something that the world like to see.
They both nodded at each other.
Then as the promised time for duel is coming nearer, they both jumped up toward the tall peak, climbing the side of the peaks by running up toward it, like they were lizards and their feet have adhesive properties to it.
Non one was surprised that Sword God and Sword of Justice both have the abilities to run up the tall peaks.
They arrive at the top and they both begins by attacking each other using swords.
Azief once again restrain himself, focusing only on swordsmanship. Sword lights fills the area as the many peaks were cut down or exploded because of the force of their sword.
The rivers around them had been cut, a new path for its water to flow was accidentally created.
People was in awe as Fang Jian dissertates the famous One Sword. One strike to conquer the word, one strike to cut the world!
It was a powerful technique that have a sword force that seems to truly be able to cut everything. Sword of Justice Sword move is simple.
Because there is only one move and One Sword.
Whether it be hacking, cutting, stabbing each time he executes this movements, it held a different weight than any other people performing the same move. It was like each move is the last move and each move is performed at its most powerful
If Flowing Sword Arts is focused on flowing with the moves and connecting with the moves, One Sword focused on one move at a time.
It possesses a certain force that the Flowing Sword Art does not. No wonder the Sword Monarch Zhu Yao wanted to fight Azief disciple to understand his own sword.
With such opposing concepts of swordsmanship, it is not that far-fetched to think that the One Sword could easily be understood if it were to clash a sword art that is completely opposite to it.
There is a comprehension of the sword to those who could see the battle. Azief found himself excited fighting Fang Jian.
The Sword Residence sword arts, the One Sword deserves its name as one of the three great sword arts in the martial arts word.
But in the end, Azief could see past though all of those attacks and break the One Sword. The Sword of Justice, like all the grandmaster before him had been defeated by the Sword God.
But it doesn't seem that Fang Jian is that sad nor does he look like he has been injured which is good news.
Nobody wanted a grandmaster like Sword of Justice to be injured severely. And Azief himself did not fight because he wanted to injure the Sword of Justice.
They both accepted the outcome of the battle and there is not bitter feeling between the two of them
By the end, there is only twelve pillars that remains untouched. The other were either cut, scratched, or cracking signs could be seen all over the others.
Azief came down and thank Fang Jian for indulging him and Fang Jian thanks the Sword God for fighting with him because in that fight he was enlightened about some sword moves.
It was then that Azief had proposed a duel between their disciples. Azief then set the battle to happen six years later.
