Chapter 390 Five Cycles Sword Array

"We’re here," Lu Yuzhai remarked solemnly as he took off his hood.

"Lower Pass?" Wushuang muttered as he looked at the two words above the city gate. "This is not Snow Moon City."

"You see that tower over there? That’s the legendary Tower of Ascension." Lu Yuzhai pointed to the tower in the distance and added, "Only after you pass through the Tower of Ascension can you see the Snow Moon. Outside the Tower of Ascension, it’s an ordinary city. Snow Moon City is also a city where commoners live. They’re not like our Unrivaled City. Outside the Tower of Ascension, it’s no different from an ordinary city."

"Let's go then." Wushuang was about to raise his whip, but suddenly, he lowered it again.

A lone man with a spear walked out of the city gate.

The man was dressed in black and holding a dark golden spear.

Wushuang recognised him. The year before, when they went to Khotan Kingdom, it was this man whose spear came from the west and with one spear, forced them to retreat. That was the first time in his life Wushuang witnessed a true ultimate martial expert.

Spear Immortal, Sikong Changfeng.

Sikong Changfeng plunged his spear into the ground and roared angrily, "Who do you think you are to enter my city? Are you worthy of entering my city? Scram!"

His angry roar carried with it a consummate internal strength and the lower level disciples couldn’t help but cover their ears.

Wushuang chuckled, flipped off his horse and set the Unrivaled Sword Casket that he was carrying on his back heavily onto the ground. "Citymaster Sikong."

"Citymaster Wushuang?" Sikong Changfeng looked at him. "Are you going to fight me?"

Wushuang stroked his Unrivaled Sword Casket and said, "I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Wushuang," an old voice called out to stop him.

Wushuang turned his head. The curtain of the carriage had lifted, and five old people with silver hair stepped off the carriage. The head elder walked up to Wushuang. "As a junior, you are being disrespectful to Citymaster Sikong."

"You say that Wushuang is being disrespectful but really, you’re just taunting me for bullying a junior." Sikong Changfeng looked at the head elder. "You bunch of old geezers, not dead yet?"

"Citymaster Sikong’s way of speaking is still so pompous," the head elder sneered.

"If Baili-shixiong were here, he’d probably be cursing you out the whole day. You should be thankful that I’m the only one here. Among the three citymasters, I’m the most benevolent." Sikong Changfeng pulled out his spear. "But my benevolence has a limit. You intercepted my disciples on the way to Heavenly Revelations, but I can let that go. You tried to snatch Ye Anshi to control Outerheaven, but I can pretend I didn’t see it. But you came all the way here, and with all under Heaven as witness, I can’t pretend I didn’t see this. Since you’re all here today, there’s no need to leave anymore.

"Leave your lives here."

Sikong Changfeng took a flying leap, and his long spear soared with him like a jiao dragon. Then, he slammed it down fiercely!

The Unrivaled Sword Casket suddenly flew open and the flying swords inside vibrated on the verge of releasing.

"Withdraw!" The head elder smacked the Unrivaled Sword Casket with one palm, shutting it again. Then, he leaped forward and a silver sword flashed into his hand, meeting Sikong Changfeng’s spear head on.

The spear power was actually suppressed for an instant.

"Don't think that we few old men are dead," the head elder said solemnly.

"Then you can die today." Sikong Changfeng’s expression was very calm.

The spear power soared again!

Sikong Changfeng swung his spear furiously and smacked the head elder back with one spear.

However, four more figures swept out from behind Wushuang with four identical long swords. They landed together with the head elder and surrounded Sikong Changfeng.

Sikong Changfeng lowered his spear, his expression stern and forbidding. "Five Cycles Sword Array."

"Enter the Five Cycles Sword Array, witness the six realms of rebirth. Citymaster Sikong, you shall leave your life here," the head elder said slowly.

"What’s a five cycle array or seven kill formation? The names sure sound impressive. To put it bluntly, it just means you want to fight by outnumbering your opponent. The five of you are also elders of the martial world. You shouldn’t be pulling such deceitful tricks. Back then, Outerheaven created a hundred-mile long severed space. Didn’t I break that too?" Sikong Changfeng pulled out his spear. "Come, then."

"The rest of you go." The head elder turned his head and said to Wushuang.

Wushuang lifted his sword casket and walked into the city together with Lu Yuzhai.

But they saw another person walking out of the city. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

"What? Are you worthy of entering my city? Scram!"

The angry roar was the same, but this time, it came from a much younger face.

He was carrying three swords on his back, two on his left and two on his right. The swords were all different, some light, some heavy, some long, some short. He looked like a real life hedgehog.

"It's you." Wushuang chuckled. "You’re also a good opponent."

Luo Mingxuan stopped. "This time, I won't lose to you again."

"I understand his swordsmanship now. After what happened last time, I went back to search the ancient books. Every emperor of the Great Xuan dynasty had a shadow guard who stood beside him. This shadow guard was usually born of a lesser concubine, but was granted peerless swordsmanship and the responsibility of protecting the emperor. At the time, the founding emperor of Beili failed to conquer the Great Xuan capital city because of this shadow guard. Later, the founding citymaster of Unrivaled City brought his Unrivaled Sword Casket to challenge the shadow guard. He had to open the sword casket completely and use all thirteen swords before he could defeat the shadow guard and capture the capital city. The shadow guard was seriously injured and escaped. It was said that the shadow guard also used seven swords of different lengths and weight, just like him," Lu Yuzhai narrated.

Wushuang nodded. "Yes. That's what the book said. This is fate, ah. The duel between the Unrivaled Sword Casket and the swordsman with seven swords. Come, then. You’re called Luo Mingxuan, right?"

Luo Mingxuan drew out the heavy sword that was the most malevolent, Hopeless. "That’s right."

"My name is Wushuang." Wushuang smiled. "Years from now, the martial world will be discussing this duel between us for a long time. This will be the most ultimate duel of our generation. This story ends with my victory and you will forever disappear from this martial world." 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

"You’re full of drama," Luo Mingxuan said with disdain.

"I have a bad memory, and I'm afraid I will forget such an excellent opponent, so I need people to talk about it." Wushuang flicked a finger and the Unrivaled Sword Casket opened again.

Twelve thin flying swords, and a long blood-red sword.

"Then, let me tell you the true ending. After this duel, one name will be gone from the Ultimate Experts List and my name, Luo Mingxuan, will replace him," Luo Mingxuan said arrogantly.

Lu Yuzhai retreated with his spear, leaving the battlefield to the two of them.

Behind them, the disciples of Unrivaled City and all the martial experts from the major sects that had allied with them stood by quietly to wait. Pavilion Master Huangfu Jue of the Blood Mantle Pavilion groused with irritation, "Are we just going to stand here waiting for them to finish fighting first?"

"Isn't that how it works on the battlefield? The marshals will fight a duel first in front of the formation before the rest of us soldiers charge and attack. Regardless of victory or defeat, they’re the main characters of this show." Lu Yuzhai crossed his arms over his chest. "The ways of the world are just not fair, ah."

Years later, there were indeed many stories spread around the martial world about this duel today. But, the final ending was neither what Wushuang described, nor what Luo Mingxuan hoped for. But since that day, all the legends about them became true and nobody in the martial world would ever dare to doubt that the young citymaster of Unrivaled City was a genius that appeared only once in a century, while Luo Mingxuan of Snow Moon City was really… fond of his master.
