Unrestricted Dao Lord

SWISH.

Inside Celestial Eagle Tower, all eyes fell on Zhou Peng.

If any other Martial Artist from the Jianghu had dared to address the tower’s master by name inside Celestial Eagle Tower, they probably would have been torn limb from limb by now.

But the situation now was different.

Because Zhou Peng represented the Guiyuan Sect!

WHOOSH...

The Jianghu Martial Artist who had been drunkenly spouting nonsense in Celestial Eagle Tower just moments before seemed to sober up instantly as a cold wind blew in from outside.

Talk was cheap.

But he didn’t have the courage to actually face the Guiyuan Sect.

"Sigh... They’re finally here after all."

A long, soft sigh echoed from within Celestial Eagle Tower.

Immediately after, a man in his fifties emerged from a room on the second floor and walked down the stairs step by step.

"I am Chen Tianying."

Zhou Peng glanced at Chen Tianying and nodded. "Chen Tianying, you have half an hour to disband Celestial Eagle Tower! After half an hour, if a single person remains, they will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Tianying’s expression changed drastically.

He knew the people from the Guiyuan Sect were coming on strong.

But he never expected the Guiyuan Sect to be so merciless.

To demand he disband Celestial Eagle Tower, which had taken him half his life to build, in just half an hour—how tyrannical was that?

The many Jianghu Martial Artists inside Celestial Eagle Tower were also furious.

They were already dissatisfied with the Guiyuan Sect and the Five Elements Sect entering Hengshan County.

Now that the Guiyuan Sect was acting so domineeringly, they naturally couldn’t stand for it.

And so, one by one, they glared at the thirty-odd disciples of the Guiyuan Sect with murderous intent in their eyes.

Among the thirty-plus Guiyuan Sect disciples, only a very small number, like Yu Jingjing, who had spent all their time on the mountain with little real combat experience, felt a little nervous when faced with the hostility of so many Jianghu Martial Artists.

But disciples like Zhang Su, who had frequently fought and killed, remained perfectly calm.

’This mob of Jianghu Martial Artists might look fierce, but they’re nothing more than a disorganized rabble, not even worth mentioning!’

Chen Tianying took a deep breath, quickly calming his turbulent emotions. He then asked in a deep voice, "May I ask for the Young Hero’s name?"

"Zhou Peng."

"Young Hero Zhou, there’s no need for half an hour. I can disband Celestial Eagle Tower right now!"

Zhou Peng was a little surprised.

Chen Tianying was a well-known figure in the Jianghu.

He had originally thought that getting Chen Tianying to disband Celestial Eagle Tower would take some effort.

He hadn’t expected Chen Tianying to agree so quickly.

"I have heard that the disciples of your esteemed Sect are all dragons among men, each one with an illustrious reputation in the Jianghu. Therefore, before I disband Celestial Eagle Tower, I wish to witness their skill for myself. I wonder if Young Hero Zhou can grant me this wish?"

As expected, Chen Tianying was still unwilling to let it go so easily.

"How do you wish to witness it?"

Zhou Peng said coolly.

"It’s very simple. There are many heroic figures of the Jianghu here in my Celestial Eagle Tower. We will select one Outer Force, one Inner Force, and one Huajin Martial Artist to spar one-on-one with your Sect’s disciples."

"Of course, regardless of the outcome, I will disband Celestial Eagle Tower. What do you think, Young Hero Zhou?"

Zhou Peng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’Chen Tianying is trying to save some face.’

People of the Jianghu placed great importance on face.

Chen Tianying knew that Celestial Eagle Tower could not stand against the Guiyuan Sect.

But he was truly unwilling to just disband Celestial Eagle Tower in such a humiliating way.

If they could win a match or two in the spars against the Guiyuan Sect disciples, it would be a way to bring fame to Celestial Eagle Tower.

If he went elsewhere in the future, he could likely open another Celestial Eagle Tower and not be ridiculed by the people of the Jianghu for being spineless.

Celestial Eagle Tower fell silent.

Everyone was waiting for Zhou Peng’s answer.

’I can, of course, refuse, but rumors will inevitably spread throughout the Jianghu later. Elder Tang Tianwen might even think I’ve damaged the Sect’s prestige. Besides, Elder Tang Tianwen’s order was to disperse the Jianghu Martial Artists inside Celestial Eagle Tower. If I can make this group of Jianghu Martial Artists submit willingly and leave on their own, then our disciples won’t need to forcibly disperse them. That would save a lot of trouble.’

As for losing?

Zhou Peng hadn’t even considered it.

It wasn’t that he was arrogant.

It was because the thirty-plus disciples he had brought this time were almost all elites from the Guiyuan Sect’s Inner Sect.

’If we still lose to these Jianghu Martial Artists, then I’ll willingly accept my punishment upon our return, with no complaints!’

"Alright!"

Zhou Peng agreed.

Chen Tianying was delighted and immediately said, "Good, it’s settled! We’ll start the sparring with the Outer Force Martial Artists..."

His gaze swept over the many Jianghu Martial Artists in Celestial Eagle Tower.

Many Outer Force Martial Artists immediately lowered their heads, some even secretly backing away to hide behind the crowd.

Don’t be fooled by how fierce they had sounded earlier.

They understood the principle of self-preservation all too well.

After all, the reckless fools who once charged headfirst through the Jianghu were long dead; the grass on their graves was probably ten feet tall by now.

However, there were still some Jianghu Martial Artists who weren’t so soft-spined.

Moreover, in the Jianghu, the stronger a Martial Artist was, the more prideful they were, and the less likely they were to bow their heads.

Finally, Chen Tianying’s gaze settled on a black-robed Martial Artist.

This black-robed Martial Artist’s looks were unremarkable, but he had a special temperament, as cold and sharp as a blade. Standing in the crowd, he was like a crane among chickens, easily spotted at a glance.

Chen Tianying immediately spoke, "Young Hero Leng, I wonder if you would be willing to spar with a disciple from the Guiyuan Sect?"

"I am."

The black-robed Martial Artist was sparing with his words, but he didn’t hesitate, stepping out from the crowd at once.

"It’s him, Leng Wujie, the ’Lonely Moon Saber’."

"Leng Wujie’s fame only began to skyrocket in the Jianghu a year or two ago. However, he has fought many times and remains undefeated!"

"I heard Leng Wujie’s Saber Technique is extremely vicious, with every strike being fatal. Among all the Outer Force Martial Artists in Celestial Eagle Tower, Leng Wujie is definitely the strongest!"

Many of the Jianghu Martial Artists recognized Leng Wujie.

"Who is my opponent?"

Leng Wujie asked in a calm tone.

SWISH.

Without the slightest hesitation, the eyes of the many Guiyuan Sect disciples instantly turned to Zhang Su in the crowd.

’Are you kidding me?’

’Among all the Outer Force disciples of the Guiyuan Sect, who could possibly be stronger than Zhang Su?’

’After all, just about ten days ago, Zhang Su killed Wei Yunzhou, who was at the Half-Step Huajin realm!’

Therefore, no other disciple would try to snatch this opportunity to fight from Zhang Su.

Zhou Peng smiled as well.

He asked, "Junior Brother Zhang, are you willing to fight?"

Zhang Su immediately nodded.

’This trip to Celestial Eagle Tower is basically a "perk" from the Sect. If I can fight and win, I’ll definitely earn more contribution points.’

He certainly wouldn’t pass up the chance.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Junior Brother Zhang."

Zhou Peng glanced at Zhang Su, then took a few steps back.

Zhang Su, on the other hand, walked past the crowd and stood before the Guiyuan Sect disciples, facing Leng Wujie from a distance.

Many of the Jianghu Martial Artists in Celestial Eagle Tower turned their gazes to Zhang Su.

Although Zhang Su’s reputation was immense within the Guiyuan Sect’s Inner Sect, his fame had not yet spread to the Jianghu.

These Jianghu Martial Artists naturally didn’t recognize Zhang Su.

But they could guess that since he was the one put forward by the Guiyuan Sect, his strength must be terrifying.

Especially since disciples from Major Sects already held a significant advantage over Jianghu Martial Artists of the same realm.

However, Leng Wujie was also very strong.

They had high expectations for Leng Wujie.

Seeing that both Zhang Su and Leng Wujie had taken their positions, the Jianghu Martial Artists and Guiyuan Sect disciples in Celestial Eagle Tower all tacitly retreated some distance.

They left a wide-open space in the middle for the two of them.

"Leng Wujie, an unaffiliated wanderer of the Jianghu."

"Zhang Su, disciple of the Guiyuan Sect."

This was a spar, not a feud to the death.

Therefore, both of them followed Jianghu etiquette and announced their names.

"My saber is too fast. I might not be able to hold back."

"My sword is fast too. Once unsheathed, it must draw blood!"

A flicker of astonishment flashed through Leng Wujie’s eyes.

’Facing Zhang Su, I feel as if we’re the same kind of person!’

A ripple ran through his otherwise calm state of mind.

The next moment, Leng Wujie drew his saber.

SWOOSH.

His surname was Leng, which meant "cold," and his Saber Technique was just as cold!

The strike was as desolate and cold as the moon—beautiful to behold, yet carrying a fatal threat.

Leng Wujie’s Saber Technique was like that; gorgeous on the surface, but in reality, it was extremely vicious, with every strike intended to be lethal.

Basically, once Leng Wujie drew his saber, he left no one alive.

He had only been in the Jianghu for a year or two, but at least several dozen people had died by his blade!

This strike was indeed fast.

Forget Outer Force Martial Artists; even an Inner Force Martial Artist would probably have to temporarily retreat from its edge.

But in Zhang Su’s perception, this strike was very slow.

After all, his perception was infinitely close to a Grandmaster’s Martial Sense.

No matter how fast Leng Wujie’s saber was, it was still wielded by an Outer Force Martial Artist. How could it possibly escape Zhang Su’s perception?

CLANG.

Zhang Su drew his sword as well.

Accompanied by the clear ring of a sword, a dazzling flash of sword light appeared in everyone’s vision.

From within this sword light, the faint sound of wind and thunder could be heard.

And Zhang Su’s sword was equally fast!

The crowd had barely heard the sound of wind and thunder when the Cold Frost Sword was already before Leng Wujie.

Zhang Su did not use Three Forces Unite.

He did not erupt with Little Three Yang Power.

He didn’t even use the Twelve Layers Tower Killing Sword.

He chose to fight speed with speed.

Using the top-tier Wind and Thunder Sword Technique as a base, he fused it with a series of other Fast Sword arts like the Nine Shadows Sword Technique and the Light and Shadow Killing Sword, transforming it into this single flash of sword light that was truly the epitome of speed.

Leng Wujie’s pupils contracted.

He could no longer maintain his composure.

’Zhang Su’s sword... it’s too fast!’

Only Leng Wujie, who also practiced a fast saber style, could truly appreciate how fast and how stunning Zhang Su’s sword strike was.

’My saber isn’t as fast as his sword.’

Wei Yunzhou had once comprehended the variations of Power and was not afraid of Zhang Su’s Fast Sword.

But Leng Wujie could not do the same.

He was not Wei Yunzhou, nor had he comprehended the variations of Power.

In that case, the outcome was already decided.

PFFT.

Zhang Su’s sword was a step faster, piercing Leng Wujie’s throat.

Instantly, blood gushed out.

The light in Leng Wujie’s eyes gradually faded as his gaze went slack.

He stared intently at Zhang Su.

There was no unwillingness in his eyes, only a trace of confusion.

He seemed unable to understand why, when they both had Outer Force Cultivation, Zhang Su’s Swordsmanship could be so incredibly fast.

THUD.

Leng Wujie collapsed to the ground.

With just a single strike from Zhang Su, Leng Wujie... was dead!
