Chapter 431: Neither Night Nor Snow Can Compare to This

himself when he marched into the camp.Seeing this, Jiang Wang also knew that there was no way to escape. At best, he would be ridiculed, and there wouldn't be any real losses. It was better than wast...The state of Qin was preparing for war.

"It seems even this Qi State prodigy has put Zhi Zhen under pressure," said the Ba Rong army commander Zhang Gu, with a gentle smile.

“Before the game, he specifically went to talk to Qi Guo's Jiang Wang, probably having some understanding beforehand.”

Gan Chang'an, whose injuries had mostly healed, chimed in from the side.

Huang Budo, who had been half asleep and half awake all this time, opened his eyes at this moment and mumbled, "So to speak, this Jiang Wang might bring even more surprises than Huang Sheli and Zhao Rucheng"

The Yellow River Assembly is a grand gathering of young prodigies from various nations. Each participant is brimming with talent and youthful vigor.

Only Huang Budong, judging by his looks alone, seems to be several years older than Zhang Gu.

Sitting with Gan Chang'an, who was only nineteen years old and looked quite young, one could easily mistake them for grandfather and grandson.

But among these two prodigies, the one who looked youthful and inexperienced, when surveying the overall situation, thought deeply and meticulously, worrying about everything.

This one, who looks weathered and aged, is simply clueless and carefree.

"Perhaps that's how Qin Zhizhen sees it, though I don't think it's realistic," Gan Chang'an replied, then questioned, "I thought his sword would only come out in the finals... Why does he place so much importance on this Jiang Wang"

Here is the translation of the provided text:

Please note that without further context, it's difficult to determine the intended meaning or purpose of the "

" tag.

Qin Gu's side held information about the prodigies of various countries. Qin Zhizhen could see everything, and so could he.

According to the data, Qi Guo Jiang Wang's overseas ambitions and unparalleled territory in Qi indeed shine brightly. However, compared to the six major powers' talented individuals, it is not outstanding.

Qin Zhizhen, with his cultivation as the "Heavenly Palace", is the biggest favorite to win the Neifu arena. He doesn't look down on anyone, at least he can look down on anyone besides Huang Sheli. He himself has an invincible belief and shouldn't appear so cautious.

Another point, in terms of strategy, after the first-half victor Huang Sheli displayed terrifying peak divine power, Qin Zichen should have concealed his strength in anticipation of the finals. Instead of drawing his sword immediately and exposing more to Huang Sheli.

“Let it be, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.” Huang Budong moved his neck, making himself more comfortable: “We should worry less.”

Gan Chang'an moved silently outward.

If someone takes advantage of you like that, Qin Zhichen would fight tooth and nail with you, wouldn't he

What's with the tone of this old couple

Wang Xisheng praised him as "able to endure hardship since the age of eight," but now that he is nineteen, Gan Chang'an has discovered that there are still many people in this world whom he cannot understand.

Zhang Gu glanced at Huang Budong's listless appearance. It was difficult to tell if the guy was deliberately taking advantage or simply had a screw loose. He casually rambled, making no sense at all.

These two prodigies of the Qin State, one overthinks and is prone to mental exhaustion. One needs to be soothed and comforted. The other lacks depth of thought and needs to be spurred on.

When it comes to, Qin Zhizhen, who has the lowest realm, is the most stable. Unfortunately, he is too introverted and too obsessed with details. He enjoys fighting and demands perfection. This may be good for cultivation, but not necessarily for leading troops.

In Zhang Gu's military philosophy, war...should not be enjoyed.

Of course, these thoughts were all in his mind, but there was no trace of them on his face.

He just stared silently at the martial arts stage, pondering the future of the Qin state. In his position, he should plan for the good governance of the state.

As for Ying Ziyù after Emperor Huái

There's no need to think.

He shouldn't think about it either!

The Six Harmony Pillars enclose the world, which is then the stage for all under heaven.

Here's the translation:

But it is common knowledge that the true stage of the world lies in this single martial arts platform, which has been unified and stands alone.

Ancient glory and history, are still continuing.

Qin Zhizhen drew his sword from the void.

This knife is all black, with a long handle and straight blade.

Though it be but three feet long, its cold light is contained within.

This is a real murder weapon, with no unnecessary embellishments.

The hilt of a sword is horizontal, and the blade is vertical.

Horizontal and vertical lines create a sense of coldness, like an equal division between life and death.

In the clear light separating them, Qin Zhizhen crossed his sword before him and said seriously, “My fist techniques have reached the peak of this realm, but because I’ve trained with a sword for longer, my swordsmanship surpasses it. With this sword, I will test your blade!”

At the Qin state's war council, Gan Chang'an furrowed his brow once more. In his understanding, Qin Zhizhen wasn't a man of many words. Today, however, seemed... unusual.

But on stage, Qin Zhichen undoubtedly showed his respect.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Respect your opponents, and even more so, respect the battle itself.

Jiang Wang's eyes were calm and unruffled.

The so-called "this realm is the ultimate," means that it's the limit that can be reached in the current state.

What he understood after coming to the observation deck was that this realm was at its peak, it was Gan Chang'an's swordsmanship of cause and effect in the outer courtyard, it was Xiang Bei's Eight Desolations Unreturning Halberd Technique driven by his domineering state within the inner mansion, it was Huang Sheli saving all beings with sixteen scattered hands, and it was also Zhao Ruocheng's various sword techniques integrated into one.

Of course, the latter two are beyond the limits of realms when they are in a state of Bodhi and spiritual connection.

While others could only reach the peak, Dou Zhao's Dou Zhan Seven Forms stood alone on a higher level. Although Chong Xuan Zun's Ri Yue Xing Three Wheels Slashing Knife was powerful, it relied on divine abilities coming together. In terms of swordsmanship techniques, it hadn't even reached its limits.

Qin Zhizhen said that his boxing skills were already at the peak of this realm, and after watching Huang Sheli Zhao Rucheng's fight, he still said so. Then his boxing skills must not be inferior to the sixteen wandering martial artists who saved people in the world.

From his battle with Beigong Ke, one could already see a glimpse of it. He had a powerful aura, capable of shattering all martial arts.

Now he says, his blade surpasses even his fist.

Doesn't that mean his swordsmanship surpasses even the peak

Could it be comparable to the existence of the Seven Swords Style

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Tianfu cultivators' addition of the Douzhan Seven Styles to their arsenal makes them nearly invincible in the mortal world!

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

It's not even necessary to add the word "almost"!

Of course, a person like Qin Zhizhen would not boast at this time and place.

All the spectators from various countries in the entire circular stands were astonished!

After Qin Zhizhen displayed the power of his Open-Air Mansion, many people were already certain that he would be the champion.

When Zhao Ruocheng drew the Emperor's sword, his suspicions wavered slightly.

After Huang Sheli's walk through time, the biggest favorite to win shifted.

Now that Qin Zhizhen has said this, with the Heavenly Mansion's Added Dou Battle Seven Styles on display, who wouldn't be shaken

Facing such an opponent, how could Qi State's Jiang Wang possibly have a chance of victory

In a chorus of sighs, there was only a cold snort from the seat where Qi dignitaries were observing.

Xu Xiangqian crossed his arms and scoffed: "You're bragging before the fight even begins. I don't think you're anything special! All talk, no substance! Who are you trying to scare We, the twin heroes of Gamashan, are far from being overrated! Jiang Qingyang can be named alongside me, Xu Xiangqian, he won't be influenced by such cheap tricks!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Sitting three zhang away, the faceless figure remained still. With a glance, they spoke in a soft voice: “I hear that the famed dual prodigies of Ma Shan are quite formidable. Compared to you, who is known alongside Jiang Qingyang, could you defeat a cultivator from Tianfu”

>

Xu Xiangqian forthrightly stated, "We can't beat them for the time being."

Zi Shu shook his head, a little unsure. Why could Xu Gaopeng say "can't beat..." with the air of "just so-so"

If you only look at his bearing, without listening to his words, it would seem like he could crush Qin Zhizhen with one hand.

The noises from outside, of course, will not affect the martial arts platform.

Though Xu Xiangqian was trying to make his move in his own way.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

But Jiang Wang did not hear Xu Xiangqian saying anything.

However, at this moment, he on stage also reached a certain level of agreement with Xu Xiangqian.

The interesting thing is that "Shuangjiao of Ganma Mountain" unexpectedly developed a subtle understanding at this time.

It was only at this moment that Jiang Wang suddenly realized.

Qin Zhizhen and his battle have long begun!

From the moment Qin Zhizhen approached him during the selection from the inner palace, Qin Zhizhen had already pulled him into a fighting arena set up for both of them.

In the quarterfinals, his match against Beigong Ke was fought so that Jiang Wang could watch it!

At that time, Qin Zhizhen, although he wanted to let Beigong Ke shine, he firmly controlled the situation and had no need to compete with Yao Wufu.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Why should we act for something

Of course, it wasn't to boast about oneself, but to let Jiang Wang see clearly.

At that moment, the brilliance of the Five Imperial Guards and this self-declaration with a drawn sword all stem from the same objective: to establish his invincible aura, to make Jiang Wang intimidated before the battle even begins, and to psychologically lose him before the clash!

Of course, Jiang Wang believed that Qin Zhizhen wouldn't exaggerate. He indeed had enough ability.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Its paper strength is the pinnacle of the Imperial Household.

However, the problem is——

This is the end of a paragraph.

His swordsmanship, as he said, was even better.

Is it like Huang Sheli and Zhao Ruchen, who are slightly higher than the top of the world Or is it like Dou Zhao, who is raised by a level

Even for Jiang Wang, this wasn't a problem at all.

Even if the person before him truly possessed the divine powers of Chongxuan and the battle prowess of Douzhao, being invincible among his peers and looking down upon all heroes under heaven, would Jiang Wang retreat even an inch

>

Although Xu Xiangqian often rambles, there's one thing he said right: how could Jiang Wang be influenced

Wang Yiwu was once invincible, and Lei Zhanyan also reigned supreme.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But now it is he, Jiang Wang, standing here, sword testing heroes of the world!

He faced enemies and felt despair that most people couldn't even imagine in a lifetime.

In the eyes of people who were worried, or pitied, or rejoiced, or anticipated...

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang's eyes were calm, and he drew his sword, stating, "I have come from the east with my long sword to test the heroes of the world. Within this realm, there are no rivals overseas; wherever my blade points, it is hard to find a worthy opponent in the Eastern Region! If I could see a peerless blade today, I would sing and praise it, beyond joy!"

This moment, this scene, this person, these words.

Those who see it are filled with wonder, and those who hear it are moved to the depths of their being. All are awestruck by the boldness in these words.

All my aspirations and ambitions are expressed here!

At such a moment, Jiang Wang was naturally brimming with confidence, and Qin Zichen's aura was also rising.

He traveled all the way from west to east because the inheritor of the ancient Feijian sword that could cut through water, indeed saw Jiang Wang as the biggest opponent on the road to victory, giving him the utmost respect.

Respecting an opponent means doing your utmost to defeat them.

From the very first day they met, they began to compete with each other.

This includes news of a past battle against Jian Xiang, including the details of Bing Yao Wufu and his own self-description of his sword techniques.

Of course, he wants to crush his opponent. But if his opponent is truly crushed in spirit, he will only be disappointed!

I'm great now, really fantastic.

He felt the opponent's fearless heart of a strong warrior, and his own burning fighting spirit boiled over.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As for him, today's battle is his first foray to the River Watch Tower!

But the more he agitated, the calmer he became.

The waves grew fiercer, the rocks stood silent.

He held his right hand up with a horizontal sword, lightly stroking the black blade with his left.

"As it is often said in story-tellers' tales, 'whether this way or that, it is still death,' therefore this sword is named 'Horizontal and Vertical.'"

Life and death, in the storyteller's mouth, are always light and airy. But when it comes to each individual, it becomes a tempestuous journey through life.

It is so small, and yet it is so vast.

Feeling this solemnity, Jiang Wang also gripped his sword with his left hand, holding it across his chest, and replied: "I have people I cannot forget, places I cannot forget, and hatred I cannot forget. Therefore, this sword is named Chang Xiangsi."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At this moment when he revealed the name of his sword, he seemed to feel the emotions of Long Xiangsi.

>

The so-called birth of a named weapon spirit, and the sword spirit being born, is not the birth of another life.

The mystery of reincarnation is far beyond his current comprehension.

It should be said that his emotions, feelings, and insights, through day-to-day interactions, have permeated this sword, forging a unity. And under the nurturing glow of divine power, it has given birth to spirituality.

So...

The excitement of lovesickness, is his excitement. The heaviness of lovesickness, is his heaviness.

Longing is his mood.

At this moment, his emotions flowed in a river of longing. Longing, too, fell silent for him.

Qin Zhizhen's extraordinary solemnity, I think, is to better control his blade and better prepare for this battle.

Jiang Wang could fully feel this respectful treatment, and therefore thought—

That forward who would never sit when he could lie down, whipped and urged onward, left what for the celestial cultivator before him

Even for such a peerless genius who graced the five great courts, this level of respect is still preserved!

He quickly dismissed the thought, now he must focus on winning. He would ask later!

>

Time seems to have never passed, yet it also feels like it has long since vanished.

The light, clear as flowing water, vanished. At the same time, Yu Xi's announcement echoed...

>

And both the horizontal and vertical swords, as well as Chang Xiangsi, also happened to meet at the same time!

Meet at the center of the martial arts stage!

Here it is!

This was the most anticipated match of the tournament, the first sound to herald its start.

In a moment, everything changed.

...echoing in the hearts of people.

Like thunder, like a thunderbolt, it startles the dazed and frightens the timid!

Swords and blades, crossed in opposition.

One is as dark as night, and the other as white as frost.

Qin Zhizhen and Jiang Wang faced each other, separated only by swords and blades.

Swords clashed, blades meeting with a terrifying, ear-splitting screech.

A long line of fire, flying off in a row.

Little bits of crimson, forming a vertical line.

Swords clash, stars burst forth!

Like fireworks disturbing the quiet night, melting the frost and snow of the morning sun.

Besides the night and snow, this is a third kind of breathtaking beauty!

Beauty is always fleeting, like the " starlight" between swords, it is also such a hasty flash.

Just as it "passed away," the night enveloped her again.

Qin Zhizhen returns the blade!

This sword strike, unbearable to look back on!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The pitch-black blade, curling into the night, also stirred memories into disarray.

What has been seen is gone, and what was once there is no longer there.

Reflecting on past events, it's hard to return to the soul within a dream.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

All past events are like smoke, this sword cuts off the past, and thus cuts off the previous life.

It is for the destruction of past lives!

More than just Qin Zhichen yearned for the starlight; chasing after life and death was Jiang Wang as well.

At the moment their blades clashed, Jiang Wang had already entered the highest level of alert.

Though the jade color isn't evident, the ears are different now.

He was feeling another world.

The Arhat's Immortal Form has been activated!

From then on, for nineteen breaths—

All voices come to me, I hear them all!rent palanquin toward the residence of Marquis Bo Wang.The sedan chair was not the kind of showy one used when visiting brothels. It was dignified and stately.>Uncle Zhongxuan is unmatched in coaxing...
