That was a sword-stroke of such brilliance, such dazzling intensity!

It was a scene reminiscent of a veteran general, weathered and gray, charging alone into the fray during a desperate battle. His head was crowned with white hair, yet he fearlessly charged into the enemy lines.

Chi Lei Yan’s eyes welled with tears, though she couldn’t discern if they flowed for Lei Zhangan and the Red Thunder Tribe’s defeat, or because her spirit had been shaken by the sword, submitting to the awe it inspired.

Li Fengyao, of course, had seen Jiang Wang.

She noticed him as he hurtled forward.

She wanted to stop Jiang Wang from rushing to his death.

The dense, frosty light that Jiang Wang saw before unleashing his sword was the result of Li Fengyao’s efforts to prevent this.

But then she saw Jiang Wang strike.

And then, Lei Zhangan fled.

Even with her considerable admiration for Jiang Wang, despite Xu Xiangqian and Li Longchuan’s repeated praise of his extraordinary talent,

Jiang Wang, in this life-or-death game, defeating an enemy with a single stroke of his blade, still surpassed her expectations, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Amidst the dissipating thunder and starlight, Jiang Wang felt a profound sense of loss.

This sword, empowered by the light of countless stars, had carried him into a world he had never witnessed before, a vast and boundless realm. He now realized how powerful his sword… could be!

Pure, accumulated power could actually transcend the limitations of “Dao”!

Even with the restraints imposed by Li Fengyao, Jiang Wuxie, and Fang Chong, the might of that sword was undeniable.

But as that power faded, he suddenly had the illusion that he was incredibly weak.

However, amidst Li Fengyao’s surprise, Jiang Wuxie and Fang Chong’s uncertainty, and the Red Thunder Tribe warriors’ fear,

Jiang Wang knew his own limitations.

This sword could not be replicated.

Its power had been accumulated during the relentless, sleepless battles in the Branchless Earth Cave, drawing upon an immense amount of “external force.” It was not conventional and would be difficult to repeat.

Because when he returned to the present world, it was unlikely that he would deliberately come to the Floating Land world to guard the Branchless Earth Cave. Even if he wanted to, it would be hard to find a way.

Even if the Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm opened again in the future, it might not connect to the Floating Land world. After all, it was just one of countless worlds illuminated by the Tianshu Star.

But Jiang Wang rested his hand on the hilt of his sword, proud, upright, his gaze sweeping down.

He looked at the Red Thunder Tribe warriors, and even Jiang Wuxie and Fang Chong, as if they were mere ants.

“I believe the victor of this life-and-death secret realm is now without question.” His tone was arrogant, his disdainful gaze sweeping over Jiang Wuxie and Fang Chong before landing on Li Fengyao, at which point he softened slightly: “Fengyao-jie, how about I take first place and you take second?”

He didn’t even bother to ask for Jiang Wuxie and Fang Chong’s opinions, showing that he didn’t care about their thoughts at all.

What kind of person was Li Fengyao? Jiang Wang rarely acted so arrogantly, and she guessed immediately that he was bluffing. Although she didn’t know how he had used that sword just now, it was likely that he couldn’t unleash a second one anytime soon.

However, she was also very clear-headed. Although she also had some hidden cards and untapped supernatural powers, her powers were more helpful for cultivation, and didn’t provide such a terrifying boost to combat power like the Thunder Seal.

Under Lei Zhangan’s full-force eruption, she was indeed struggling to cope.

If Jiang Wang hadn’t suddenly appeared, she might have suffered a big loss, and she had to acknowledge that.

“Of course.”

Li Fengyao said calmly, “With your strength, you should have been first all along. If you hadn’t defeated Lei Zhangan, I’m afraid I would have had a hard time getting second.”

She said it so plainly, making it seem so natural.

As for Jiang Wuxie and Fang Chong, they didn’t know where Jiang Wang’s strength came from. They could only judge from Li Fengyao’s attitude that Jiang Wang was probably someone who had been hiding his strength all along, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

Jiang Wuxie even realized at this moment – why Li Fengyao would travel with this guy all the way, it turned out he was so deeply hidden!

Of course, it was impossible for them, especially Jiang Wuxie, to directly admit defeat.

Fortunately, Jiang Wang didn’t intend to make them express their opinions.

If he was going to be arrogant, he would be arrogant to the end.

“Qinghuo Yuanchen!” As soon as Li Fengyao spoke, he immediately stirred his true essence and shouted as if no one else was present: “Take the warriors and go directly to the center point!”

His voice carried for several miles.

Qinghuo Yuanchen and others, who were waiting for the result not far away, were extremely excited when they heard this. Although they had been running all the way before, they had tried their best to catch up with the struggles of the Red Thunder, Pure Water, and other teams, almost exhausting themselves, but at this moment they suddenly felt endless power surging up again.

A group of warriors who were almost out of formation were running past everyone, relying entirely on a burst of energy.

Compared to the Pure Water Tribe warriors who had been annihilated by Lei Zhangan before, their military appearance was completely different.

However, as long as Fang Chong thought of that sword of Jiang Wang’s before, he didn’t dare to have any opinions.

“Little friend Jiang.” He even smiled kindly: “Before coming to the Seven Stars Tower, the old alliance leader repeatedly told me that you are an old friend of our Four Seas Merchant Alliance, and asked me to ask you for help if I had any difficulties. But I’m a thin-skinned person, and I was embarrassed to ask you in Seven Stars Valley.”

Qing Xi was clearly asking him to take care of Jiang Wang, and to ask him for help if Jiang Wang had any difficulties.

Of course, it was just a polite remark anyway, and he could say whatever he wanted.

Jiang Wang smiled modestly: “Alliance Leader Qing is too kind. The Four Seas Merchant Alliance is so big, what help can I offer to Executive Fang?”

This slightly aloof “modesty” at this moment was also to continue the previous “arrogant” persona.

“To be honest, the alliance leader said earlier that you are a young hero, hard to find in the world, and I didn’t quite believe it, and felt that it was exaggerated.” Fang Chong showed a somewhat embarrassed, but very frank look: “Who knew that when I saw you today, the old alliance leader still underestimated you!”

“Where, where.” Jiang Wang continued to be modest, and remained aloof.

Fang Chong didn’t seem to feel any distance at all, and continued to smile: “I noticed that little friend Jiang came to the Tianshu world later, I wonder if you have had any gains from chatting with our old alliance leader? We executives don’t care much about our own affairs, but we are always thinking about the tasks assigned by the alliance leader!”

“Not really.”

For Jiang Wang, acting was really tiring.

He turned to Li Fengyao directly and said, “Fengyao-jie, then I’ll take my leave first.”

Li Fengyao nodded slightly.

This was true aloofness.

Having traveled together to Jicheng, Jiang Wang had naturally adapted to it long ago. He put his hand on his sword, turned around, and strode towards the center point.

The so-called “center point” was an area that emitted a milky white light. Standing outside, you couldn’t see what was inside.

Although it corresponded to a hundred starting points, there was only one entrance.

It was difficult to judge in terms of directions such as east, south, west, and north, because it didn’t have the concept of direction.

Once found, that was it. Once arrived, you could enter.

Qinghuo Yuanchen waited eagerly at the entrance, and all the Qinghuo Tribe warriors were watching Jiang Wang walking towards them.

Their eyes were full of respect.

This distinguished guest, the Star General descending from the heavens, helped them guard the earth cave, and helped them achieve first place in the life-and-death game.

“The Qinghuo Tribe will forever remember this history.” Qinghuo Yuanchen placed his arm across his heart and said sincerely.

“If you will remember me, then I hope you will not forget Qinghuo Qiming.” Jiang Wang said.

The transformed fire totem on his back was painted blue by Qinghuo Qiming himself, and it was tattooed under the white bone lotus, perfectly combining the two. It was also Qinghuo Qiming who personally guided the power of the totem to complete the initial totem.

And this was also the reason why Jiang Wang was able to defeat Lei Zhangan in the life-and-death game.
