Chapter Fifty: Mountains and Rivers Thousands of Miles, Heav
immense strength and feel no pain.The fire flowers hidden among the phantoms, some were slapped apart by him, and some were directly received by him. Even if they were roasted into a lump of charred f...This set of swordsmanship, "One Slash Decisive," has a remarkable history. It was created by Han Shen Tu, the master of the Legalist school, during his youth.
In terms of decisive action, he is the best in the world.
Although disciples of the Sān Xíng Palace were free to enter official service, and the legalist martial arts spread throughout the land, even Hàn Shēn Tú did not forbid the transmission of his own techniques. But Dou Zhāo's ability to master this swordsmanship also reflects the deep foundation of the Dòu clan of Great Chu.
It is important to know that Han Shentu, in the present day, has become the master of Fa Jia Qu Tian Gong, and can be considered the number one legalist of our time!
His created swordsmanship is highly sought after, with many vying for it even at the cost of their families' fortunes.
... While Dou Zhao had fully grasped the essence, once this sword was unleashed, its light shone brightly, with an aura of "unrivaled and unforgiving" presence.
But compared to the sword technique "One Strike Decisive" itself, what truly made Jiang Wangji apprehensive was Dou Zhao's choice of combat.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Dou Zhao possesses the "Dou Zhan Qi Shi," renowned as the greatest killing technique since the world began. He has mastered it to perfection, capable of handling any situation.
Whether it's the Great Illusion Sword or the One-Word Slashing Decision, in his hands, none of them could be stronger than his Seven Battle Styles.
With his natural talent, practicing these sword techniques was nothing more than to observe the world's swords and use them to improve himself.
So why, in this duel he values so much, does he firmly restrain the use of Battle Seven Style and frequently employ other sword techniques instead
There was only one reason for this—he believed it to be the more correct battle choice.
>
From this, we can infer that in their previous encounters in the Mountains and Seas Realm, Dou Zhao, with his astonishing battle acumen, had already gleaned too much information about himself.
Like information about powerful spiritual senses, it would be immediately apparent upon a cursory examination.
For example, the Threefold True Fire takes time to “perfect its essence,” just as one can use a misguided path to constantly gain insight in battle, leading to increasingly accurate judgments against the enemy...
The grasp of this information is the embodiment of combat talent.
>
Therefore, in the battle of spiritual awareness, Dou Zhao even prepared a soul-killing technique of the level of the Other Shore Golden Bridge to counter it.
Therefore, to counter the Samadhi True Fire, Dou Zhao chose to extinguish it with all his might at the first opportunity.
So in this instance of the swordfight, Dou Zhao frequently changed his moves. After completing a set of Taihuandao, he resolutely wouldn't use it again and directly switched to Yizhan Li Jue, just to prevent him from having an opportunity to gain insight!
He couldn't have known about the existence of the wrong path, but he had already guessed the effect of insight.
It's not difficult to confirm this, just look at Dou Zhao's future moves. Will he continue to frequently change tactics
But Jiang Wang already had a definite answer in his heart.
He never underestimated heroes from all over the world.
After his fight with Tai Yin, Dou Zhao immediately provided Yi Shengfeng with very accurate intelligence. A warrior with such exceptional fighting talent as Dou Zhao would have captured even more details.
The real question is... What else did Dou Zhao notice
>
All these judgments were made in the blink of an eye, and the battle never ceased for a moment.
Facing the current predicament of imminent death, with an execution order hanging over his head and a sword ready to sever his head, Jiang Wang's left hand simply flicked—
>
Under the cover of the Calamity Seal, Canglong's Seven Transformations have been completed.
Five beams of light hovered at her fingertips, and Jiang Wang directly raised her left hand, as if charging into the sky!
> Roar!!
The clouds billow.
The seven celestial spirits manifested, each with a divine form, surrounding Jiang Wang, almost forming a wall of primordial energy.
There, the cornered Mu Jiao and the Gold Dragon, riding auspicious clouds and treading on weapons of war, all raised their heads towards the sky, stirring the wind and clouds. They pressed forward in waves, one after another, crashing into the blood-red "Slash" character above.
The Heartmoon Fox and the House Sun Rabbit each emanated brilliant light, colliding suddenly before them. This caused yin and yang to be reversed, triggering a disruption in the five elements.
The other three deities each unleashed their divine powers, causing a surge of energy to erupt in an instant!
For a moment, the entire Azure Tooth Stage was engulfed by brilliant flames. Streams of light shot out in every direction, and dust swirled wildly. The void hummed faintly, with a sound like distant thunder.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
And in Yuwen Duo's shocked eyes, Dou Zhao didn't budge an inch, charging straight into the maelstrom!
The brilliant fighting golden body was almost like a sculpture, the person in his hand holding a treasure blade like a magical sword, just one horizontal slash.
In the void, a majestic voice echoed—"Three o'clock in the afternoon has arrived!"
It is noon right now.
Laws stem from heavenly principles, and even more so from the righteousness of heaven and earth.
Then, the light of heaven blazed forth. Was it the sunlight, or the gleam of blades, or the golden glow of celestial warriors clashing
It doesn't matter if you can't tell them apart.
Because of this horizontal strike, the clearing had already been completed in an instant.
At present, under the law of the land, spirits and ghosts dare not appear!
Therefore, he should be beheaded.
At this time, the blood-red "Slash" character in the high heavens had been shattered, and the majesty of the law was destroyed.
However, when Dou Zhao's blade came slashing down, it was already the "Slash" command that had been issued, and the blade was already across his neck.
Law cannot be broken!
But a tiny flame, burning right at the edge of the blade.
This tiny flame, no bigger than a bean, resembled a piece of red amber. It was beautiful and delicate to look at, yet within it surged a powerful force.
A crimson light spread.
The crimson light enveloped Jiang Wang, then shrouded Tianxiao Blade, and then Dou Zhao's entire person, and finally the entire martial arts arena!
That hazy crimson hue is not merely beauty, but also a description, a rule, and a definition!
It is both a boundary and a barrier.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang's spiritual domain spread to the end, spanning a thousand zhang in every direction!
>
Encompasses the entire Azure Tooth Platform, reaching high into the heavens and extending down to the earth below.
Dou Zhao's blade was still advancing, but the kind of unchangeable Legalist majesty had already dissipated.
Laws may not be broken, but this world differs from the next.
The sea changes, as do mountains and fields; kindness is exhausted. Customs shift, laws follow the changing times.
Who can execute someone from this dynasty using the laws of the previous dynasty
Thus, a mere glance of longing was enough to stop the blade!
Instead of dismantling Han Shen Tu's powerful swordsmanship, he attacked the very foundation of his technique. By shaking the rules with his spiritual domain, he shattered Han Shen Tu's sword intent. This was a truly imaginative and unprecedented response.

But that is not all of Jiang Wang.
At the same time, with a flick of his left hand, the sinister light concealed by the Calamity Seal vanished. A blazing city descended from the heavens, and the inferno of "City Burning with Flowers" was about to engulf the world!
He repeatedly used the Calamity Seal to conceal his fighting intentions, aiming to influence Dou Zhao's combat judgment and shorten his reaction time.
Moreover, the fireworks burning within the fire domain incinerated the city. Its power was unlike anything seen before.
In this realm where consciousnesses interfere with reality through the flames, all rules give way to the inferno. This is the world of fire, where the Fire Element reigns supreme. The heat and ferocity of the fire are stretched to their absolute limits.
All fire-based techniques manifest their greatest power within this spirit realm.
Even before the city walls were breached, the scorching heat had already spread relentlessly.
The flames of Yan City hadn't fallen yet, but the fire element in the air had already ignited ahead of them. The frenzied tongues of flame even licked at Dou Zhao's hem!
At this moment, Yancheng shines brightly in the world.
Qing Shan, who wielded the sword in a vermillion robe, stood face to face with Dou Zhao, clad in crimson and wielding a saber.
Dou Zhao held his sword hilt firmly, his eyes betraying no surprise. If Jiang Wang wasn't capable of such strength, how could he be worthy of waiting for this confrontation

Almost instantly, the golden light spread out from him like ripples. Like a stone dropped into still water, the mirror-like surface immediately disturbed, and the ripples expanded at incredible speed.
Jiang Wang had a spiritual domain, how could Dou Zhao not have one
and the most suitable and skilled in battle of all domains!
To spectators outside the arena, the 800-zhang radius battle spirit domain was clearly covered by the fire domain.
The difference in spiritual consciousness between the two is reflected in the range of their spiritual domains.
But the collision of the two spirit realms was not so quick to determine a victor. The spiritual consciousnesses spread out, utilizing the rules of the spirit realm, like thousands upon thousands of soldiers clashing in battle. Different rules constantly touched and collided with each other, constantly dying out.
Both parties' spiritual realms were greatly suppressed.
The fireworks burning the city naturally lost the benefit of the fire domain.
In this frenzied battle of spiritual energy, Dou Zhao's body was bathed in golden light. With a single swing of his long sword, he cleaved through Jiang Wang and his weapon, severing them both. Then, with a shift in his bladework, he dashed forward, like a lone general charging into thousands of enemy soldiers on the battlefield.
At this moment, his blade was incredibly sharp, and a menacing aura of bloodlust surrounded him. He seemed ready to fight his enemy to the death at any given moment.
This is the military's swordsmanship, the Loulan Breakthrough Sword!
It is worth mentioning that this swordsmanship was created by a military strategist who witnessed the battle formation of Qi State's Lou Lan Gong. This strategist couldn't forget Lou Lan Gong's heroic figure and, after the war ended, once again traveled spiritually to the battlefield, thus creating this sword.
This made all the armies create a special sword technique for him. The power of Lord Loulan back then is evident in this.
Of course, this swordsmanship was impossible to preserve in the State of Qi. Most of his historical records have also been erased. Although he died in defeat less than twenty years ago, even today people's accounts of his achievements are already unclear.
In history, there are many things that can't be explained clearly, not just the Qi Dynasty, nor just King Loulan alone.
This Loulan broken army knife is the most ferocious, often invincible.
However, at this moment the fiery flower had already fallen upon the burning city. The retreated Jiang Wang had already returned with his sword drawn.
Within the fire domain, being locked on by Yanhuaceng's flames, Jiang Wang wouldn't give him any chance to avoid it. If he were like Zhongli Yan earlier, acting alone and holding the city, that would just give Jiang Wang a free space to attack recklessly.
It can be said that Jiang Wang's previous ease of being repelled was precisely to trap Dou Zhao in a dilemma at this moment. It is both retreat and advance. The grasp of the battle rhythm is unparalleled, and previously it was so easily suppressed by Zhongli Yan.
What a formidable Dou Zhao!
He didn't hesitate to choose between the dilemma Jiang Wang gave him. He wielded his sword with a fierce and powerful attack, charging headfirst into the Flame City, wrapped in an aura of killing intent and bloodlust!
He stood alone against this city of flames, charging forward, cleaving his way through it.

Wielding the Loulan Breaking Formation Blades, he fought with such ferocity that flames danced everywhere.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this time, Qing Yi's shadow flashed, and Jiang Wang also closely followed, charging into Yancheng.
Would Dou Zhao be willing to fight him within the city of Flame
Jiang Wang pursued relentlessly from behind, while he leaped forward with a flash, delivering four consecutive strikes in an instant.
For you I play! Remember this! A thousand-year enterprise! A man doesn't return!
The furious blade intent exploded directly! Crimson sword light like a dragon's fury roared, sweeping across Yancheng in a mighty tide.
Like a horse galloping through the chaotic battlefield, with swords drawn, two riders passed each other in a flash, their fates immediately decided.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Like a valiant warrior drinking strong wine, he vowed to cut off the enemy's head to fulfill his promise.
Like a mountain roar and a sea tsunami, horses trampling through camps, beheading generals and capturing flags—a great achievement.
Suddenly, it was like being caught in the middle of a battlefield with thousands of enemies, surrounded by death and bloodshed. There was no one to be seen before or behind me.
Alone, he somehow cut through the enemy's ranks with the might of a thousand soldiers.
A raging storm swept through, and the furious blades of a tempest tore this city into shattered ruins.
Within the boundless flames, Dou Zhao, clad in golden splendor, soared into the sky.
He preceded Jiang Wang,
and escaped from Flame City.
But then he turned back!
At this moment, he stood high above, his murderous aura ignited with flames. His body was a tapestry of blood and fire, like a crimson dragon wreathed in flames, descending to punish the heavens. This sword was the Burning Heaven's Wrath, Loulan's blade that shattered formations!
To extinguish fire with fire, how arrogant is that
You are too much, Dòu Zhāo!
In this level of confrontation, neither side can afford any extraneous actions. Every move must create combat value. Otherwise, it's a failure.
At this moment, Jiang Wang had just gathered the boundless residual flames of the Flaming Flower Burning City within himself, using these flames to fill the Fire Domain and strengthen his suppression over the Battle Spirit Realm. With one hand, he struck out, summoning the Eight Winds Dragon Tiger!
Through his training at the Ji Xia Academy, he mastered eight winds secret arts. Particularly during his interactions with Master Lu Shangqing, he elevated all seven winds except for the wind of chaos to a certain level of mastery. The eight winds achieved a degree of balance, and the wind of chaos was completely integrated.
It is only now that this secret art, inherited from the old Yang dynasty, has truly been liberated.
This refers to the — Eight Wind Dragons and Tigers.
All sorts of magic involving restraints and bindings are generally difficult to truly control an opponent unless they cross ranks. After all, preventing oneself from being restrained is something that every cultivator must strive for.

In the ever-changing battle, even a moment's hesitation could alter the course of the fight. If someone is held back for just a breath or two, life and death will be decided instantly, leaving no possibility of victory.
The greatest combat value of these secret arts usually lies in the fact that they force opponents to expend tremendous energy to counter them. Therefore, in battle, they are often a means of gaining an early advantage.
Even though the Dragon and Tiger Secret Art has been pushed to the level of Eight Winds Dragon and Tiger, there's still no chance of success against the divine warrior Zhongli Yan. But when used on Dou Zhao, he must meet it head-on.
This is a difference in paths, and has nothing to do with strength.
Both sides had a perfect grasp of the fighter jets, with an unspoken understanding. At the same opportunity, they launched their attacks simultaneously.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Dǒuzhào's outer self fought battles with a golden body, while his inner self crossed the bridge to the other shore. He should have remained unyielding and steadfast.
But now the Eight Winds Dragon and Tiger, have completely integrated the Disordered Wind, transforming from a purely confining type of secret art into a super-grade Dao technique with terrifying killing power.

Even though he was flawless, he had to retreat northwest at this moment.
If one kills living beings, and impales them on nails, teaching then becomes ineffective and leads to leaks.
This Heaven Scorching Rage was thus diverted, sweeping away the eight winds around its body.
Perfect timing!
Jiang Wang came charging in amidst the embers, his sword flashing. Five wheels of blazing light ignited within his chest and abdomen. Thus, with eyes like burning coals, he wielded his Frost-Embroidered Sword, riding the wind like a celestial warrior!
In the stands, Huang Sheli’s beautiful eyes were already glistening. Just a moment ago, she admitted that the flamboyant Dou Zhao was incredibly charming, making her want to forgive him. This moment, she couldn't help but wish to join Jiang Wang on the field, fighting side by side and beating their opponent.
Endless flames roared.
The Qingyi Sword Immortal used fire as a mountain, directly propelling the Peak-toppling Sword to its limits!
As the fiery domain suppressed the Dou Zhan Spiritual Realm, a roar of sword energy rolled up residual flames, transforming the flame mountain into a crimson blade, shattering all obstacles and charging straight for Dou Zhao's side waist.
Dou Zhao was high above, yet he twisted his waist and arm, gripping Tian Xia for a reverse pull – he had also calculated that Jiang Wang wouldn't let this opportunity pass. While sweeping away the eight winds, he had already been preparing.
Then, the murderous and vital energy vanished in an instant, and the blade's momentum shifted suddenly.
The wrath of Heaven has subsided.
He absolutely refused to use it a second time, asking Jiang Wang to investigate its root cause.
At this moment, this strike is like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, finally seeing the vastness of the sea and sky.
>
That unmatched sharpness of mine has been dulled.
In its place, there is a clarity and weightiness.
The power and meaning of this blade are truly magnificent.
It came down with a single, sharp chop.
But behold, the mountains stretched as far as the eye could see, resembling a sleeping dragon. The rivers flowed for thousands of miles, like silvery streams cascading down.
>
There are too many stories that have happened on this land.
History's grandeur relies on mountains and rivers!
This is the ultimate sword technique of the Confucian school, Jiuqiu.
Jiū qiū zhě, jiǔ zhōu shān hé zhī zhì yě! This means: "Mount Jiuxiao represents the ambition of the nine states and their mountains and rivers!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated.
Jiang Wang's Zhoutian imagery condensed in the Zhou Tian realm was heaven, earth, and man. When his cultivation was low, he used it to forge swords, creating the grand concept of the Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man. At that time, it was naturally superficial, only a slight understanding. It was only used to show off in low-level battles.
After much experience, seeing all kinds of people in the world, he manifested the sword styles of an aging veteran, a fallen scholar, and a youthful reckless youth, only then did he truly cut out this "human" character.
Up until then, grasping the path and moving the Seven Star Holy Building, and with a single strike of the sword that brought about an age of perpetual winter, was only barely worthy of the title "heaven".
Though I have occasionally touched upon the concept of "earth," it has never truly taken shape.
And Dou Zhao's sword technique at this moment was the true Mountain and River Sword.
Ru Jia's sage ancestors traveled thousands of miles, crossing mountains and experiencing the vicissitudes of life. They realized the infinite tolerance and vastness of mountains and rivers, leading them to write the book "Nine Hills" and thus create the Nine Hills swordsmanship.
At this very moment, on the Qingya Stage, a scene of ultimate glory is unfolding.
Red and gold, blue and red.
Thus, contradictory yet unified.
In the infinite brilliance of the flames, two figures parted and reunited.
Tian Xiao and Chang Xiang Si, clashing with resounding force.
The clouds in the sky have parted too! The air is still.

This platform, perfectly capable of hosting a divine battle, has floor tiles cracking like spiderwebs spreading endlessly.
Thus, across the ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, they met at the celestial pillar's bend!her that his background was also extraordinary, not far from hers.Zhubi qiong only nodded slightly, then said nothing more.Fang Pu was about to bring up the topic again when a tall and handsome young...
