Chapter 116: Life and Death, Victory and Defeat

of sight.On the high platform, it was as if nothing had happened. Only Jiang Wang and Jiang Wuyang stood facing each other, their swords pointed at one another.The tips of their swords met, Chang Xian...Looking at Yun You Weng's suddenly soaring spirits, Jiang Wang's heart suddenly flashed with a thought——

Could the welcoming child have already contacted his reincarnation, and deliberately appeared to say those words, in order to create a turnaround opportunity for his reincarnation

It wasn't that Jiang Wang was used to conspiracy theories, but rather he had experienced too many conspiracies, and there was also a Jiang Yan within him that he needed to be wary of at all times.

But the thought was just a fleeting one. As the master of Yun Ding Xian Gong, he was certain that the past figure of the welcoming child had vanished and would not appear again.

Moreover, regarding the matter of Yun You Weng's journey, he had also given it deep thought and was very confident.

Jiang Wang had always been a determined person, but recently he didn't know why, he felt that he was easily distracted by extraneous thoughts.

With his soul as his sword, he cleaved away all distractions. He gazed at Yun You Weng, and then with a flash of his blade, he moved like the sword itself.

When the long sword slashed through the air, his body, mind, and spirit became one with the sword style itself. All mundane thoughts vanished, leaving him free from worldly concerns.

This is purely a fighting stance.

Be sincere in your heart, sincere in your thoughts, and sincere in your sword.

Jian Heng was a renowned scholar who had fallen on hard times. Though he lived a life of freedom and passion, it was tinged with sadness. He was both dashing and sharp.

The Cloud-Wandering Elder, with the determination to fight to the death, pressed forward instead of retreating. He clutched the Wind Character Seal and pushed directly at his opponent.

But Jiang Wang came too quickly and too suddenly, the wind and clouds hadn't even gathered yet, when he was already cut off. Thus, his fingers snapped open, and then turned the mountain character seal. This seal combines suppression and defense in one, it's truly remarkable.

The long sword slashed across, colliding with the vague "mountain" character. The green hills were looming, heavy and majestic.

The longing to see her was blocked by the imprint of the mountain character, but Jiang Wang did not change his sword stance. With his left hand pinching a decision, he imprisoned himself in chains and drilled out from behind the Void Wanderer's empty space. This is the method of the Legalists, with its own rules.

The Cloud Wandering Elder's mountain character imprint scattered, and with a flick of his wrist, invisible ripples spread outward. A translucent barrier trapped the pitch-black prison chains. At the same time, the barrier also attempted to ensnare Jiang Wang.

He had already used this move at the Welcoming Pavilion, so naturally, Jiang Wang couldn't be covered again. The sea of flowers spread around him, and every time Yun You Weng's invisible ripples advanced, they would be blasted by the fire blossoms several times, leaving him no choice but to halt his advance and begin a stalemate in mid-air.

Yún Yóu Wēng’s vision momentarily lost sight of Jiāng Wàng, only to be filled with endless fireworks. With a sudden raise of his eyes, Jiāng Wàng drew his sword and descended from the sky, his presence radiant and powerful.

Facing this sword, Yun You Weng did not meet it head-on. Instead, he clenched his fist to his heart, and countless rays of light exploded from him.

Jiang Wang, who had drawn his sword from the Sea of Fire Flowers, was just blocked by those sharp feather lights.

Yun You Weng certainly had reasons to be unwilling and dissatisfied, and he also had the capital to defy. His fighting instinct was astonishing. Although he couldn't see through the phantom of the Hong Zhuang Mirror, he instinctively chose the most stable response, causing Jiang Wang's surprise attack to be in vain.

This feather was light and soft, yet it possessed an extremely sharp power, clashing with Jiang Wang's sword qi in a frenzy, like the sound of clanging metal.

Jiang Wang's surprise attack was obstructed, yet he remained calm and composed. With a sword in hand, the three-fold true fire had already ignited.

The unity of jing, qi, and shen, once this fire erupted, the formless ripples entangled with the sea of flames were instantly burned through. The Samadhi True Fire even burned in reverse, forcing Yun You Weng to stop his related secret arts. Even Jiang Wang's own sea of flames was burned open, revealing a path. This demonstrates the domineering nature of the Samadhi True Fire.

And those fluttering lights, upon approaching the rapidly nearing Three-Headed Real Fire, collapsed one after another.

This kind of collapse is, paradoxically, the best way to deal with the Samādhi True Fire. It consumes the power of the Samādhi True Fire without being engulfed by it.

Yun You Weng swiftly made a decision. With a thought, he gathered all his Guang Yu, aiming to deplete the power of the San Mi Zhen Huo as quickly as possible. Just like Dou Mian, once Dou Zhan Jin Shen's time ran out, he had plenty of other means at his disposal to suppress him.

However, as the heavenly feathers gathered in the air, Jiang Wang casually struck a chord, allowing the clump of Samadhi True Fire to intertwine with the feathers. He himself launched into the air, his sword like lightning, cutting through the sky with a sharp arc, dodging the feathers and appearing before Yun You Weng.

A sword blazed like the sun, arrogant and sharp, a testament to youthful recklessness.

The Cloud-Roaming Elder frantically tried to form seals, but he was too slow. He was pierced through by a sword and nailed back to the ground!

His body is too old.

When the realm was suppressed, using various secret techniques to fight was still not obvious. After the Starry Sky Pavilion was isolated, during the life-and-death struggle with Jiang Wang, his reactions could not always keep up.

Since taking off his divine powers, Jiang Wang often used the Samādhi True Fire as his winning move. This time, however, he only used it to open up the situation. After all, fighting is a matter of ever-changing circumstances, and victory or defeat is the ultimate truth. A true strongman does not blindly believe in divine powers; they are merely one tool among many. No matter how powerful, they must ultimately serve the battle itself.

On the summit of Chiyun Mountain, Jiang Wang thrusts the Cloud Wandering Elder to the ground. A strand of his long hair falls beside his face, unable to conceal his currently overly sharp appearance. The light feathers, fire blossoms, and Samadhi True Fire behind him are all dissipating.

The Cloud-Traveling Elder was coughing up blood, while Jiang Wang pressed his sword and asked —

"Are you convinced"

This battle should have been decided early on. Jiang Wang didn't hesitate to capitalize on his advantage. If not for the opportunity to revive Yunding Xian Palace, he wouldn't have given this battle a chance at all.

Yun You Weng stared blankly with cloudy eyes, blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth, trailing down his wrinkles. It was hard to tell where so much blood came from in this frail, aging body.

I don't know how you began your practice.

"However, for a single opening meridian pill, I ventured deep into the enemy's lair, wounded thirteen times, barely escaping with my life. It wasn't any easier than what you went through," Jiang Wang said slowly.

There are many injustices in this world. Some people are born with advantages, standing taller and seeing farther than you. But pure hate and resentment cannot solve any problems.

“The only fair thing is hard work.”

"Hard work will never be betrayed."

"Strive to stand higher and farther."

Jiang Wang tried very hard to "persuade" Yun You Weng, so that he could die with peace of mind and not bring his unwillingness into the next life.

But Yun You Weng only shook his head, and asked in reply, “Am I not... trying hard enough”

Jiang Wang fell silent.

Even without speaking of the myriad past lives, just this one life alone. The effort Yun You Weng put into obtaining access to Yun Ding Xian Gong far surpassed that of everyone present. He even went so far as to sacrifice eighty years of his lifespan.

How could he now say that Yun You Weng wasn't diligent enough

But some things, indeed, are not something that can be achieved just by effort.

“It's clear to me that you're not from the same world as those young masters and ladies. Dying at your hands, I have to admit, I'm impressed. At least you gave me a fair fight.”

The Cloud Wanderer looked at Jiang Wang, using the last of his strength to glare furiously: "But fate has been unfair to me, this world... is unjust!"

Jiang Wang felt it, the Yun You Weng's inner energy was collapsing, the Tong Tian Gong began to dissipate, and the Tao Yuan within his body was gradually disappearing.

He breathed his last and was gone.

Jiang Wang couldn't fully know what he had experienced in this life. The story was too long, and he would probably never hear it... But he forever remembered the despair in those aging eyes.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of a phrase that he often said to Xiangqian——

“No matter how hard you try, it won't make any difference.”

Also there was Zhao Ru Cheng, who whenever he was advised to work hard, would always say, "Who says that enjoyable things are always related to 'waste'"

So he squandered everything, his talents and his wealth.

Jiang Wang's initial good feelings for Xiang Qian were largely due to seeing similarities between her and Zhao Rucheng in Xiang Qian.

Now let's start working hard.

Will his efforts pay off

When he stands before his master's opponent in the future, will he be able to overcome the fear in his heart and defeat his nightmare

Jiang Wang suddenly couldn't be so sure.

Does effort matter

Sometimes I don't want to give the reader the answer.

Because a lot of the time, when it comes to life, to the world, I have the same confusion as you. I've never grasped the truth.

So I'm just presenting the problems, laying bare a real world for you to see.

Different people, different choices.

I think everyone has their own answer.iang Wang and Chong Xuan were still able to discuss a few things here."Where is this quote from" Jiang Wang asked, "The sentence about the danger of mountains and rivers.""Oh." Chong Xuan casually sai...
