Legend of Swordsman Chapter 5696 - Chapter 5696 Ended

Chapter 5696 Ended

You... how? Shi Jius face turned ashen. He was about to perish, yet Jian Wushuangs aura showed no sign of change. The blue electric arcs around him flickered even more intensely.

This time, Shi Jiu was utterly desperate.

He had fought with all his might, but he couldnt even touch Jian Wushuang.

Fortunately, they were within the barrier. If it werent for the barrier, he wouldnt have been able to go all out against Jian Wushuang.

But it was a pity!

Even within the barrier, he couldnt do anything to Jian Wushuang.

Moreover, Jian Wushuang seemed completely unscathed.

He could no longer gauge Jian Wushuangs true strength.

It was rumored that even the great High Priest couldnt match Jian Wushuang.

The power of complete prohibition, erupting with the force of annihilation, could slay the Universe Masters.

And in such a confined space, even the top experts among the Universe Masters would have perished.

Yet Jian Wushuang seemed unaffected.

His aura showed no signs of weakening; instead, it grew stronger.

Such was the terror of the power of the Starry Sky.

In fact, the force of annihilation unleashed by Shi Jiu just now could threaten Jian Wushuang. However, it was like an ant compared to the power of the Starry Sky.

Moreover, his force of annihilation was released from the power of prohibition, so there wasnt much of it, and he would suffer backlash afterward.

But Jian Wushuang was different.

The power of the Starry Sky was transformed from the Origin Source, seemingly endless.

How could they be compared?

Jian Wushuang shook his head gently. This wasnt a fight to the death.

If it were, Shi Jiu would have died 10,000 times over already.

His body completely petrified, Shi Jiu, before losing consciousness, exerted the last bit of his divine power to leave Jian Wushuang with a final sentence!

Take care of her for me!

With those words, Shi Jius physical and divine bodies completely turned into stone.

Only the Origin Source remained, resisting stubbornly but unable to hold out for much longer.

Enough!

The Empress exclaimed lightly, extending her jade-like hand. A surge of vitality flowed into Shi Jius body, protecting the last remaining Origin Source within him.

With a gentle stroke of her fingers, she tore open a rift in spacetime.

Take him back to the Shi Kingdom quickly, there might still be a chance! The Empress turned to Shi Han and said, If we delay any longer, even if he survives, he will be nothing but a cripple!

Upon hearing this, Shi Han hurried over, grabbing the petrified Shi Jiu and entered the rift in spacetime directly.

Brother Jiu! Princess Jinchen wanted to follow, but was stopped by the Empress.

Jian Wushuang stood aside, feeling somewhat awkward!

He had never imagined that one day he would be breaking up a couple.

Fortunately, he wasnt petty, and wouldnt kick someone when they were down.

Even if he were to marry into the royal family and become Princess Jinchens Dao Companion, he wouldnt harbor any inappropriate thoughts towards her.

The crucial point was that by then, it wouldnt be inappropriate thoughts anymore, but a legitimate relationship.

Even so, Jian Wushuang wouldnt touch her!

He only wanted to become stronger, to deal with the trouble of Mie Sheng, and then to follow his masters path, to meet with Teacher Xuan Yi in the future.

To see what lay in the future world.

What was hidden within the Starry Sky?

Who was plotting within it?

Princess Jinchen knelt on the ground, crying miserably, tears streaming down her face. She lifted her little head and stared at her cold-hearted mother, crying out bitterly, Why are you forcing me!

The matter is settled, forget about him! The Empresss voice was icy, leaving no room for negotiation.

Even she couldnt bear to see her daughter like this.

And there stood Jian Wushuang!

Looking at his tall and straight figure, his face radiant and handsome.

Why insist on Shi Jiu?

He was indeed outstanding, with background and strength, willing to risk his life for Jinchen.

But what good would that do?

Strength is paramount!

Dont be ridiculous, she was an experienced person, aware of what the Tribulation Realm entailed.

The pressure that the Emperor hadnt faced yet would erupt in Tribulation Realm.

Once in a certain tribulation, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.

A Dao Companion was just a momentary thing.

Strength was for a lifetime.

Jian Wushuangs excellence surpassed all expectations, especially coupled with a princess from the Yue Kingdom.

If news of this battle were to spread, Jian Wushuangs influence would likely extend far beyond the realms, overshadowing even the Yue Kingdom.

As a Yue Kingdom princess, even if she were to inherit the Imperial Emperors throne in the future, it wouldnt amount to much compared to the seven major sects on the Ancient Wood Continent.

This time, they had hit the jackpot by joining forces with Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuangs background wasnt particularly complex.

Wu Li had mentioned that Jian Wushuang couldnt make ends meet in the Outer Domain and was on the brink of poverty before seeking refuge with the Wu family in the Yue Kingdom.

Even if Jian Wushuang reached the Fifth Tribulation realm in the future, they wouldnt be able to interfere with the royal family of the Yue Kingdom without external intervention.

They had gained a top-notch fighter for free. Even the Empress felt like she had hit the jackpot this time.

Phew!

Jian Wushuang took a slight breath and returned to normal.

Looking at Princess Jincheng in front of him, he didnt know what to say.

He could only turn around and slightly salute the Empress, Your Majesty, what do you think...

His meaning was clear: How should they conclude this matter?

Wood King, take Jian Wushuang to settle in the capital first. Well discuss the rest of the matters in three days!

Empress Fengchen also understood that it wasnt appropriate to discuss previous agreements at this moment.

It was better to wait for her daughter to recover and then take things slowly.

The Sacred Assembly was still ten years away; they aimed to settle everything within that time frame.

Upon hearing this, Muchen quickly stepped forward, pulling Jian Wushuang along and replied, Your Majesty, rest assured, this minister will handle it properly!

Nephew Wushuang, come with me!

Jian Wushuang bid farewell with a bow and followed Muchen, preparing to leave. However, as he passed through the threshold, he turned his head to glance at the three Emperors remaining in the hall.

These three individuals were summoned by Elder Muchen.

Instead of following them now, he was left behind.

Perhaps the Empress also sensed the Death power wielded by two of the Emperors.

Jian Wushuang wasnt in a hurry. Bringing it up now would raise suspicion. He would inquire with Elder Muchen later.

If he were detained by the Empress, he could still inquire in the future after becoming part of the family.

So, he followed Muchen and Wu Li as they left the palace together.

Brother Muchen, theres no need to rush. After all, hes my nephew. I can handle it. Ill bring him to your mansion in three days! Wu Li politely refused Elder Muchens offer and took Jian Wushuang back to their previous residence.

After entering the mansion, both Wu Li and Jian Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief.

That old guy, he hasnt even married in yet, but hes already thinking about moving into the Wood Kings mansion. He really underestimates our Wu family! Wu Lis face showed some anger.

Clearly, he was holding some grudges.

Even if its marrying a maid, he wouldnt stay at someone elses house before the wedding!

Not to mention, Jian Wushuang is an extraordinary Emperor.

This time, the royal family can enjoy it in secret!

Brother Wu Li, why bother with worldly appearances? Once the Wanliu Divine Tree is activated, what are these royal dynasties and sects? Sigh, its just my worldly concerns. But this Yue Kingdom royal family is really not a good bunch. Be careful when you marry into it in the future!
