chapter-598
Jian Wushuang sighed in private.
“Flying to the Ninth Heaven” was about reaching a flawless level in every aspect.
As his body had now reached a flawless condition, he had to wait for a special chance to enhance the defense of his body.
Which is to say, even if he could reach the 11th and 12th Level at this moment, it would only increase his physical strength, not his body’s defense.
The Holy Ancestor Feast began.Holy Ancestor was a supreme being in the Divine Land, so no one would refuse to join the feast he held to celebrate his 2000th birthday.
Among the Three Ancestors, except Su Ming who was in other plane worlds and could not be there, both Spirit Ancestor and Stone Ancestor were present at the feast.
The other Skyscraping Realm experts also attended it.
Dong Ming King and Qian Xingzi, who had participated in exterminating Sword Ancestor and forced Jian Wushuang away from the Divine Land, were there for the feast as well.

“Oh?”
Holy Ancestor and the other experts all smiled upon hearing Lin Lan’s words.
They were surprised to know that she just wanted to present a gift.
“Your Honors, look!”
Lin Lan managed to stay calm. She waved her hand and a coffin made of amethyst immediately appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Yes, the gift was a coffin!
After seeing the coffin, Holy Ancestor’s smile froze on his face.
The whole place became dead silent.
Lin Lan continued, “I personally selected this gift for you, your Excellency. It is made of refined amethysts and can prevent your body from decaying for a thousand years. I’m sure you will be comfortable in it after your death.”
Holy Ancestor looked grim as he listened to these words.
The other experts all looked at Lin Lan in astonishment.
The coffin might be a treasure in a manner of speaking, but it should never be given as a birthday gift.
“Bastard!”
Fury got the better of Holy Ancestor and, with a pat, he smashed the table in front of him to dust.
Right at this moment, Jian Wushuang suddenly took off his bamboo hat and stood up from his seat, with a long sword on his back. He walked slowly to the center of the field, while speaking, “Holy Ancestor, it seems that you are unsatisfied with my disciple’s gift.”
“Don’t be greedy. The others won’t be so lucky as to receive such a nice gift,” He continued.
As the sound of his voice came to an end, he had moved into the center of the field. A moment later, he raised up his head and released an overwhelming a killing intent that dominated the whole area like a dragon flying in the sky.
The place fell into dead silence again.
The atmosphere became frigid.
The fine wine, food, and objects on the tables were crushed into pieces under this killing intent and waterdrops kept flying in all directions.
The feast looked more like a funeral at that moment because of the depressing atmosphere.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Jian Wushuang.
Holy Ancestor, Stone Ancestor, Dong Ming King, and Qian Xingzi all gazed at him from their seats.
Their eyes narrowed when Jian Wushuang revealed his face.
“Jian Wushuang!” Holy Ancestor roared in an icy voice.
Stone Ancestor and the others beside him, however, looked excited.
“It’s him!”
“He knows where Sword Ancestor’s cave mansion is!”
“Finally, he showed up!”
“Haha, boy, tell me the location of Sword Ancestor’s mansion and I’ll spare your life.”
Those Skyscraping Realm experts all looked at Jian Wushuang with eager eyes, except Spirit Ancestor. His eyes betrayed his complicated feelings.
Jian Wushuang smiled at them coldly.
“Those men are still coveting Sword Ancestor’s mansion and Ancient World Token even while at death’s door.” Jian Wushuang shook his head. He had the Heart-killing Sword in hand and, behind him, the Golden Sword Soul Phantom rose up high to its limit.
The Phantom radiated a domineering and Supreme Sword Essence that made the onlookers’ hearts skip a beat.
“Hmm?”
The Ancestors’ eyes became sharp. They could tell that Jian Wushuang was a lot more powerful than before.
“Holy Ancestor, Stone Ancestor, Dong Ming King, Qian Xingzi…” Jian Wushuang called their names out, one by one.
“Do you still remember what I said last time on the outskirts of Sword-suppression Valley?”
After being asked, the Ancestors could not help recalling what had happened in the valley.
In fact, they never forgot this boy’s words, the words that the poor boy had been forced to say by a dozen Skyscraping Realm experts.
“I’ll never forget what you’ve done today!
As well as how I was suppressed.
“Someday, when I come back, no matter if you’re in heaven or hell, I’ll kill you all!
“Wait for me!”
Those words had indeed felt threatening at the time, but as time passed they stopped taking it seriously.
Now, Jian Wushuang really had come back for them!
“Hump! He can’t change anything now that he’s come back. He must have progressed a little during the last year.” The Ancestors still looked down on Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang looked at them emotionlessly as his killing intent reached its peak.
“I always achieve what I’ve said.
So, today, since we are having a feast, I’ll make your heads a cup and treat your blood as the wine.
All of you… must die!”
Jian Wushuang spoke firmly as if he was pronouncing their deaths.
His voice echoed in the place for a long time.
“How arrogant!”
With the shout, a short man dived forward from his table.
The man was called Qian Xingzi, one of the five experts from the other plane worlds.
“Boy, let’s see if your power matches your arrogance!”
Qian Xingzi was surrounded by killing intent as he took out a purple longsword from somewhere. Then, he neared Jian Wushuang and thrust the longsword forward as well.
The entire space was filled with a purple light. Qian Xingzi launched a single blow, but there seemed to be thousands of sword shadows rushing towards Jian Wushuang.
Seeing this, Holy Ancestor hurriedly shouted, “Qian Xingzi, be careful. Don’t kill him.”
“I know.” Qian Xingzi looked grim. Though he was targeting Jian Wushuang’s chest, he had restrained his power for fear of killing Jian Wushuang on spot.
“Huh, why hasn’t this boy make a move yet? Is he paralyzed?” Qian Xingzi was amazed to see Jian Wushuang standing still while he was about to have a longsword pierce into his body.
However, at the very next moment, Jian Wushuang moved.
He simply swung his sword at Qian Xingzi without any skill.

There was an amazing power behind Jian Wushuang’s casual strike, which finally collided with Qian Xingzi’s sword.
Clang!
When the two swords met, the sound of metal on metal echoed throughout the area as Qian Xingzi’s sword became covered with cracks.
“What?”
Qian Xingzi was astonished by the cracks on his sword.
His sword was a Dao Weapon. How could it be cracked by Jian Wushuang’s sword?
As the cracks on the sword became wider, a sudden shattering sound dumfounded him.
The sword was split into two pieces.
Qian Xingzi could not believe what had happened.
“How could that be possible?”
He was so astonished that he could not even think.
“Impossible!”
Holy Ancestor, Stone Ancestor, and the others all widened their eyes at the scene as they felt a chill rising in their hearts.
After breaking Qian Xingzi’s sword, Jian Wushuang continued moving forward to slash at him with all his power.
Qian Xingzi was unable to dodge the blow and saw a flash of sword light before he was cut into two parts as well, with his organs scattering onto the ground and his blood covering the floor.
“Qian Xingzi, you’re only my second target!”
Jian Wushuang glared at the dead body indifferently.
His first target, Blood Bladesman, had been killed already.
After killing Qian Xingzi, Jian Wushuang looked toward Holy Ancestor and Stone Ancestor.
Those two Ancestors showed a grave expression while being watched.
“Jian Wushuang’s weapon has to be extremely powerful to break Qian Xingzi’s Dao Weapon and kill him. He just demonstrated the power of an expert at Level Three of the Skyscraping Realm.”
“Level Three…”
The onlookers could tell that Jian Wushuang was at a level as powerful as Sword Ancestor.
They had all witnessed how mighty Sword Ancestor was, so in order to kill him, they had joined hands with dozens of experts. Now, Qian Xingzi’s death left them with only six experts in total.
Therefore, it was impossible for them to defeat Jian Wushuang with the remaining experts.
“Holy Ancestor, what should we do now?” Stone Ancestor asked him in a low voice.
“It seems that we have no other choice but to escape from here,” Holy Ancestor said unwillingly.
They were unwilling to accept that the boy they had despised had grown so powerful in the last year.
He had reached Level Three, which few could achieve in the whole Ancient World.
As a result, Holy Ancestor, the 2000-year-old super expert from the Divine Land, had to escape when facing such a young boy.
What’s worse, he might not be able to escape just because he wanted to.
All of this added to his depression.
Right then, a killing intent flashed in Jian Wushuang’s eyes, which then fell on Holy Ancestor and Stone Ancestor, before he made a move and his intent boomed.
“Quick, let’s block him together!”
Dong Ming King quickly shouted. His aura kept surging as his face twisted crazily. At such a crucial moment, he still had not given up on possessing the Ancient World Token.
“Idiot!” Holy Ancestor shot Dong Ming King a cold glance before turning away without hesitation.
Seeing this, Stone Ancestor tried to flee with him.
“Run!”
“Run!”
The other Skyscraping Realm experts had finally seen through their situation. Not being idiots, they started running away in a disorderly fashion.
In an instant, five of the Skyscraping Realm experts began escaping, all except Dong Ming King.
The sight of this caused the experts in the feast to be dumbfounded.
“They, they…”
“Holy Ancestor and Stone Ancestor, the supreme experts, are trying to escape without even fighting?”
“Jian Wushuang is just a Cloud Realm expert, isn’t he?”
“How could he force so many super experts to flee?”
It was so unbelievable!
Some experts were so astonished that they even thought they were in a dream.
“Master!”
Hands clenched, Lin Lan stared at her master with admiration.
Marquis Zizhong and Marquis Guyang, who had come to the feast with Jian Wushuang, both widened their eyes and could not help swallowing hard.
Boom! A rolling blood river swept outward from Jian Wushuang and covered the whole place in an instant.
“I told you that none of you would escape from me!”
Jian Wushuang’s voice resounded through the place as the Heart-killing Sword slashed out from his hand like a star crossing the sky. Dong Ming King managed to take a single strike from Jian Wushuang before being killed.
As for the Ancestors and the other experts who were trying to escape, they were slowed down by the blood river.
What’s worse, Jian Wushuang had quickly changed his target to them after he killed Dong Ming King.
“No!”
Those escaping experts looked pale. They knew very well that once Jian Wushuang caught up with them, they would definitely be killed.
“Run, Run!”
They tried their best to run quickly, but three of them had already been killed by Jian Wushuang. Only Holy Ancestor and Stone Ancestor survived and were about to escape from the blood river.
“There is no escape for you two!”
Jian Wushuang released an outburst of killing intent. Though the two Ancestors had made it out of the river and were running in different directions, Jian Wushuang was not going to let either one of them go.
With a move, his body seemed to split for a second and two men appeared. One went after Holy Ancestor, while the other one followed Stone Ancestor.
Many onlookers were stunned to see two Jian Wushuangs.
“There are two… two Jian Wushuangs?”

Yes, there were two Jian Wushuangs before their eyes.
In fact, The two Jian Wushuangs they saw were his Slaughter Body and World Body. The former had chased after Holy Ancestor with the Heart-killing Sword, while the later had gone after Stone Ancestor with the Triple-kill Sword.
“What?”
“This can’t be real.”
The escaping Holy Ancestor and Stone Ancestor looked grave when they saw the two Jian Wushuangs.
They had thought that at least one of them could make it out alive if they kept running in different directions. But now, there were two Jian Wushuangs chasing after them.
“Holy Ancestor, you’re dead!”
Jian Wushuang’s Slaughter Body shouted when he caught up with Holy Ancestor with his higher speed and launched an attack.
“I’m dead!”
Holy Ancestor looked desperate. He knew he no longer had any chance surviving.
He tried to struggle, but Jian Wushuang killed him in an instant.
As for Jian Wushuang’s World Body, he caught up with Stone Ancestor as well but did not kill him directly.
“Jian Wushuang.” Stone Ancestor looked at Jian Wushuang’s World Body in horror.
“Stone Ancestor.” Jian Wushuang gazed back coldly and asked, “Where is your disciple Jiu Xiu?”
Jiu Xiu, the person who had seized Jian Wushuang’s father’s Sword Soul and taken away his mother.
Jian Wushuang had cursed this name a hundred times, but to his confusion, he had not heard of this person even once after he entered Divine Land.
He had expected that Jiu Xiu would join the feast with Stone Ancestor, but Jiu Xiu was not there.
“If I tell you, will you let me go?” Stone Ancestor asked while staring at Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang’s eyes became chilling. Without saying a word, he approached Stone Ancestor and struck out.
Stone Ancestor was scared as he hurried to defend, but he still got hit. He began spitting blood as his face became extremely pale.
“Look, you are in no position to bargain with me. Just tell me where Jiu Xiu is, and maybe I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll kill you now.” Jian Wushuang warned in a low voice.
His eyes filled with despair. Stone Ancestor was one of the top experts in the Divine Land, but now he was in a desperate situation and he wasn’t even able to decide his own fate.
“Fine. I’ll tell you what you want to know, but I hope you will keep your word.” Stone Ancestor continued in a deep voice, “Jiu Xiu left the Divine Land several years ago and he might have even left the Ancient World. I really have no idea where he is now.”
“Left the Ancient World?” Jian Wushuang raised his eyebrows. “No one can leave the Ancient World at will. If that was possible then you would not have fought so crazily for the Ancient World Token in order to leave here. You’re lying.”
“No, I’m not.”
Stone Ancestor shook his head. “It’s true that he has probably left the Ancient World because of some connections he made after he caught a certain woman.”
“A woman?” Jian Wushuang’s expression suddenly changed.
He doubted that the woman was his mother.
He had been told that his mother had left Ancient World. She had probably been forced to leave with Jiu Xiu.
“If I’m right, then, where are they now?” Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes.
He did not know the answer, but, his father seemed to.
In order to see his mother again, his father had stepped on a path of no return.
A path that even Di Jing was scared to walk.
“I’m too powerless and probably nothing in the eyes of the people in the outside world. I have to leave the Ancient World and enhance my power so that I can look for my mother,” Jian Wushuang thought to himself.
A moment later, killing intent filled his eyes as he looked at Stone Ancestor.
Swish!
Jian Wushuang attacked him without restraint.
“Bastard! Jian Wushuang, you broke your promise!” Stone Ancestor shouted in fright.
However, Jian Wushuang did not seem to hear his words. Even though his World Body was less powerful than his Slaughter Body by a bit, it took him no effort to kill Stone Ancestor.
He looked down at Stone Ancestor’s body and spoke out sarcastically.
“Broke my promise?
“Humph. I’ll always keep my word to my family and friends, but never to an enemy.
How ridiculous of you to expect me, your enemy, to keep my word!”
Jian Wushuang laughed, then smashed the body before going back to the feast.
In the sky above the Martial Arts Practice Field, the two Jian Wushuangs merged into one under the watchful eyes of everyone after they killed their targets.
Jian Wushuang had wanted to hide this skill from others, but considering that few in the Ancient World could be his match at the moment, he did not mind exposing it.
When Jian Wushuang arrived back at the feast, he found Spirit Ancestor and said to him, “Spirit Ancestor, thank you so much. You’re the one who helped Sword Marquis Mansion survive over the years. Both me and our mansion, even the whole of Sword Ancestor’s Bloodline, owe you a big favor. Here is an Interspatial Ring. The treasures I got from Holy Ancestor and Stone Ancestor are all in it. Please take it.”
Jian Wushuang handed the ring to Spirit Ancestor.
The Ancestor looked at Jian Wushuang with a smile, then nodded and accepted the ring without saying a word.
The people in the feast were astonished to know that both Holy Ancestor and Stone Ancestor had been killed by Jian Wushuang.
Two supreme experts in the Divine Land had been killed by the same person in a single day.
“Lan’er.” Jian Wushuang turned to Lin Lan and said, “Follow me.”
“Ok.” Lin Lan nodded respectfully and followed him.
Watching until Jian Wushuang left, the stunned experts finally regained their composure. The next moment, the whole place went into an uproar.
