Chapter 633: Chapter 338: The Fall of the Azure Sea Sword King, a Once-in-a-Generation Genius

“Sword King?”

Xu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I’m not the Sword King, I am the Sword God!”

The title of Sword King—how could it be worthy of him.

The woman: ????

She was somewhat bewildered, how come there was suddenly a Sword God?

“My benefactor, are you not the Sword King? Look across the Azure Sea, only the Sword King could possibly have such a mastery over Sword Dao!”

The woman said with some disbelief.

When Xu Yan heard this, he immediately became interested.

A Sword King in the Azure Sea?

“A Sword King in the Azure Sea? Where is he, and how strong is he?”

He called himself the Sword God, and there was a Sword King in the Azure Sea; it was certainly worth meeting him to see the caliber of his Sword Dao, although he presumed that it was most likely similar to the Sword Dao of the Thousand Martial Hall.

The woman was now convinced that this man was not the Sword King of the rumors. Shock filled her heart, wondering when the Azure Sea had produced such a powerful Sword Dao martial artist.

“The Sword King is in Yuntian City. Alone with his sword, he defeated all the Sword Dao martial artists in the Azure Sea, sweeping through the Sword Dao of Yuntian City. All the martial artists of the Azure Sea bowed to him.

“They say that the sword of the Sword King represents the true essence of Sword Dao.

“It is rumored that the Sword King is a very arrogant person. Although he claims that his mastery of Sword Dao has just begun, that he has barely stepped through the threshold, without yet grasping the true depth of Sword Dao,

“But in his eyes, all the martial artists of Sword Dao in Yuntian City are nothing but trash.”

The more Xu Yan listened, the more he felt that the behavior and style sounded familiar.

He couldn’t help but ask, “What is the name of this Sword King you speak of?”

The woman replied somewhat awkwardly, “I only know of the Sword King, but I do not know his name.”

Just then, among the fleeing Divine Refinement martial artists, one with relatively strong abilities was specifically targeted by the Blood Blade Bandits and did not escape immediately.

It was not until Xu Yan took action and annihilated a group of the Blood Blade Bandits that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked over and said, “The Sword King is named Xie Tianheng!”

Xu Yan suddenly realized; no wonder it sounded so familiar—it was Xie Tianheng!

“Who would have thought that Xie Tianheng would emerge with the name of Sword King,” Xu Yan mused internally. By that reckoning, Xie Tianheng must have advanced rapidly in strength over the past few years in the Inner Domain, probably joining the ranks of the supreme experts.

“Have you heard of Xie Lingfeng?”

Xu Yan asked.

Since Xie Tianheng had made a name as a Sword King, Xie Lingfeng was also exceptionally talented, and his Sword Dao would not be weaker than Xie Tianheng’s. He should have been able to make a name for himself as well.

“Is he the son of Sword King?”

The martial artist pondered and then asked.

Xu Yan nodded.

“The son of the Sword King was once the pride of Yuntian City, but these years have seen no progress for him. Instead, he’s been surpassed by those he once defeated. His name as the pride of the city is now tarnished, and he has long since faded into obscurity.”

The martial artist sighed ruefully.

“A fallen star indeed, the son of the Sword King is now mocked as useless!”

Xu Yan clicked his tongue. Had Xie Lingfeng really fallen on such hard times?

It seemed likely. With Xie Lingfeng’s talent, he had probably already perfected the Divine Intent Realm, and with his gifts, mastering the Early Stage of Divine Refinement would not be a problem.

But having consistently failed to make a breakthrough, while his former defeated subordinates continued advancing to the later or even peak stages of Divine Refinement, Xie Lingfeng obviously couldn’t compete anymore.

No wonder he had faded from view.

Yet, to be ridiculed as useless was unexpected!

“Brother Xie, just wait a little longer. I will come to find you, and you will be able to rise again, to suppress those who were once your defeated subordinates.”

Xu Yan muttered to himself.

The father and son of the Xie family obviously had something significant happen to them in Yuntian Azure Sea City, which was not just keeping a low profile, for them to have such renowned names.

Xu Yan inquired further about Xie Tianheng and his son.

The martial artist did not know much, only that a few years ago, Xie Tianheng first made a name for himself by challenging a martial artist in the Early Stage of Divine Refinement Celestial.

At that time, Xie Tianheng had been at the stage of a Great Celestial.

Everyone believed he was bound to lose.

However, Xie Tianheng rose up strongly, revealing his extraordinary Sword Dao and triumphing over his opponent across stages, and thus began his ascent to fame.

“Rumors say that the Sword King’s wife comes from an extraordinary background, otherwise with the Sword King’s early arrogance, he would have been beaten to death long ago.”

The martial artist said with a sigh.

Xu Yan nodded. Xie Tianheng’s wife was from the Spiritual Realm; he hadn’t expected her to have such a distinguished background, and it was unknown how Xie Tianheng, a martial artist from the Inner Domain, had managed to marry a woman from the Spiritual Realm.

After asking some more about Xie Lingfeng and getting little new information, Xu Yan took his leave and departed.

Sea beasts pulled the escaping boat, speeding it away over the Azure Sea.

“Sword God? Could it be, we’re about to witness a new confrontation in the Sword Dao?”

The martial artist was thrilled beyond measure. Such an event was not to be missed.

If the Sword King heard that someone dared to call himself the Sword God, he’d likely explode with anger!

…

In Yuntian Azure Sea City, the Transcendent Spirit Sect, ruling over the entire Azure Sea—even the dominating Sea Spirit Tribe was obligated to listen to the City Lord’s mansion.

The Fu Family was the ruling family of Yuntian City, and the current generation’s City Lord Fu Tianhai possessed undeniably immense strength, said to have surpassed that of several former city lords.

He was, without a doubt, the strongest figure in the Azure Sea.

Though the city was governed by the City Lord’s mansion, there were many powers within it, and the Sea Spirit Tribe also occupied important positions, boasting a prestigious and transcendent status.

There had always been rumors that there was a pact from ancient times between Yuntian City and the Sea Spirit Tribe, governing the Azure Sea together. At certain times, the Sea Spirit Tribe was required to obey Yuntian City’s commands.

The specific contents and terms of this pact were only known to the true high-ranks of Yuntian City and the top echelons of the Sea Spirit Tribe.

Among the several major forces in Yuntian City, the Wanxing Martial Arts Institute was one of them. After retreating from the Eighteen States and setting foot in Yuntian City, the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy led to the cultivation of many renowned martial artists.
