Rebirth of the Peak Young Master-Chapter 456: Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Sea

With a deafening roar, Chenn Bangguo’s treasured sword pointed to the sky, and Yang Tian’s expression suddenly grew heavy, his eyes twitching incessantly.

As a scholar of the Xixian Sword Formation, he easily perceived the influence it had imparted on Chenn Bangguo.

When all the swords merged into Chenn Bangguo’s blade, a foreboding sensation arose within him.

Understand this—Yang Tian was now at the initial stage of distraction!

Forget China—even on the international stage, there was little left that could make him feel threatened!

Yet now, only the divine authority wielded by Chenn Bangguo, challenging even the Immortals, made him wary!

If the Xixian blades were unleashed at full strength, how terrifying would that be?

At that moment, Chenn Bangguo took a deep breath, finally lowering the ancient bronze sword in his hand, and spoke calmly, "Mr. Yang, I implore you."

"Brother Chenn, please!"

Yang Tian didn’t assert himself either; instead, he summoned the Demon Saber without hesitation, bowing slightly as he spoke.

The impending battle between Chenn Bangguo, the God of War of China, and Yang Tian, a living myth of the present age, was imminent.

"Is it finally about to begin?"

Chenn Bangguo’s aura, as he challenged the divine with his sword, was immense. Zhou Fuhai, residing in another courtyard of Hu Yi Villa, though just a mere mortal, could feel it instinctively.

The sensation was unlike that of ordinary astonishment.

Zhou Fuhai’s indifference toward Chenn Bangguo’s defiance of the Immortals was not surprising.

At that moment, a young man emerged from the shadows behind him, yet Zhou Fuhai didn’t even turn to look.

Instead, he said calmly, "You’ve prepared for so long. When are you planning on using what’s in your hand?"

The young man in the shadows was visibly startled upon hearing this but quickly chuckled and replied, "Grandfather, as usual, nothing escapes your insight."

"Hmph!"

Zhou Fuhai snorted coldly and said, "No one in the Zhou Family is capable of inheriting my legacy—neither your father nor your uncle. Only you and your husband bear some resemblance to me, but you are still far too shallow."

"Indeed! Compared to Grandfather, my path is naturally shallow. But judging by Chenn Bangguo’s stance, I fear I may be unable to utilize what’s in my possession!" The young man laughed, but his eyes turned icy cold.

Zhou Fuhai ignored the frigid look in the young man’s eyes and muttered to himself, "It may not come to that. Being prepared is always prudent."

As he spoke, Zhou Fuhai slowly reclined into his chair, while the young man nodded slightly.

"Who... who won?"

As the battle’s conclusion became apparent, Zhou Qi’s heart suddenly tightened, and two intertwined black-and-white figures collapsed onto the ground.

He had been a direct participant in the Ten Divinities’ siege on Qian Yuan Island and the one who dispatched messages from Long Li.

At this moment, Zhou Fuyang, despite his bordering incompetence, was directly slain by Yang Tian. Would the mastermind behind it all, Yang Tian, ever let him go?

Thus, for Zhou Qi, the life-and-death struggle between Yang Tian and Chenn Bangguo now determined his very survival. He was naturally on edge.

However, Shen Wenhua, standing beside him, chuckled carefreely. "Brother-in-law, what’s got you so nervous? Are you worried my elder cousin will lose? That’s impossible! My cousin is the God of War of China!"

"Indeed!"

Shen Wenhua’s words made Zhou Qi’s anxious heart clench even tighter.

Chenn Bangguo was the God of War!

Before Yang Tian appeared, Chenn Bangguo was an invincible presence in China!

As for Chenn Li, though she looked down upon Zhou Qi’s unease, she appeared unbothered, simply observing from afar and awaiting the return of the victorious white-robed figure.

As for Yang Tian, although he didn’t seem to have been slain by Chenn Bangguo, he likely suffered significant injuries!

But just as they were smiling and anticipating the results, the white figure suddenly trembled slightly and fell to one knee on the ground.

At the same time, a gust of wind scattered the surrounding dust, revealing their forms.

Yang Tian, shirt blackened and hair disheveled, still stood firm, his face cold and proud. There were no signs of post-battle disarray save for the bloodstain on his left arm.

On the other side, Chenn Bangguo was half-kneeling, sweat pouring down his pale face, his gaze filled with disbelief.

The outcome was clear.

This match—Yang Tian, the myth in this mortal world, had triumphed!

The result left Chenn Li, Shen Wenhua, and Zhou Qi rooted in place, almost forgetting to breathe!

The invincible God of War of China in their minds had, at this moment... lost!

Still, neither Yang Tian nor Chenn Bangguo turned their attention toward them.

"Why?!"

Chenn Bangguo struggled to lift his sword as he stood, his gaze fixating repeatedly on the bloodstain on Yang Tian’s left arm. Yet his expression was one of pure incredulity. "Why were you able to wield the Qi Xian Sword? How is that possible?"

Indeed!

It was utterly impossible!

Though Yang Tian’s abilities were extraordinary, Chenn Bangguo had wielded the Sword of Qi County for fifty years, fending off countless foreign invaders attempting to breach China!

Among them was the most powerful former Great Emperor of the Vatican in Rome, whose full power had nearly toppled Chenn Bangguo.

Yet even then, Chenn Bangguo remained undefeated thanks to the spiritual essence of his swordsmanship, which challenged immortality itself. No one dared confront the sword’s edge to defy the Immortals.

But during this battle, Yang Tian not only wielded it but even used the Xixian Sword soul to wound Chenn Bangguo’s left arm!

The only mark left behind was a bloodstain, completely unaffected by the intense spiritual energy of the Xixian blade.

Hearing Chenn Bangguo’s words, Yang Tian simply smiled faintly.

The power of the Qi Xian Sword truly was immense!

Since Yang Tian’s discovery of the recipe for returning to the Yuan Dynasty through ancient magic, even dozens of explosions from the Vatican’s clouds hadn’t harmed him. Yet in Chenn Bangguo’s hands, it left behind a trace of blood.

This was testament enough to the ferocity of the Xixian sword’s spiritual essence!

Yet, it was too extreme!

Through his critique of the Immortal frontlines, Yang Tian had achieved perfection in his arcane Guiyuan techniques, fully realizing their lethal potential.

Thus, Yang Tian also came to understand the spiritual essence of the Sword of Qi County.

Although it could not be wielded like Chenn Bangguo’s for combat, there was no need to dissolve its killing aura entirely.

The essential point was:

"Relying on external forces is never the true path!" Yang Tian remarked lightly.

Chenn Bangguo’s expression froze as he heard these words.

Relying on external forces is never the true path!

What constituted external forces?

Anything not inherently one’s own strength was foreign power!

Was Chenn Bangguo’s strength truly immense?

Clearly not!

It was because Chenn Bangguo, as the contemporary master of the Xixian Sword Formation, could draw upon its power!

Chenn Bangguo earned his reputation as a titan of China thanks to his talents and efforts, but fundamentally, his prominence was because he wielded a blade challenging the divine.

Whereas Yang Tian obviously mastered no such divine aid, making him truly stronger!

For a brief moment, madness filled Chenn Bangguo’s eyes, yet he remained silent.

"Hmm?"

Chenn Yuanba, preparing to escort Chenn Bangguo away, frowned upon hearing Yang Tian’s words.

A century ago, Chenn Yuanba, as the mightiest of his time, was revered by countless people in the nation. His very name continued to inspire fear.

Hence, even though he believed Yang Tian’s skill and resolve matched that needed to withstand the energy of the Qi Xian blade, he regarded it as nothing more than commendable.

In Chenn Yuanba’s eyes, someone of his stature didn’t need to concern himself with Yang Tian stepping into the Shen Family’s domain. Resolving it promptly was the best course of action.

Yet Yang Tian paid no heed, his expression remaining distant and aloof, inciting anger in Chenn Yuanba. With an air of amusement, he said, "Child, how do you and your husband plan to proceed?"
