Chapter 75 – Above Grandmaster! Sword God Valley!

Elder Li stood frozen in place, his mind buzzing with disbelief.

How could this be?!

This was simply too absurd!

The one who had just defeated the Sword Saint was merely a clone of the Sword God?

“Xuan Xuan, you mustn’t deceive this old man.”

Elder Li looked at Li Zixuan in shock, pointing tremblingly at the nearby shattered cliff as he asked, “You’re saying all of this was done by the Sword God’s clone!?”

“Mm.”

Li Zixuan nodded.

“Miss Li, do you have any evidence?”

The Commander nearby frowned, his face also filled with disbelief.

Although he firmly believed in the Sword God’s formidable strength, what Li Zixuan had just said was simply too explosive, completely refreshing his worldview!

A single clone could defeat the Grassland Sword Saint at Peak Grandmaster Realm.

Then how powerful must the Jianghai Sword God’s true self be?

Could it be…

He had already transcended beyond Grandmaster, reaching an even higher realm?!

At this thought, everyone around turned to look at Li Zixuan, waiting for her to resolve their doubts.

Seeing this.

Li Zixuan remained calm and composed, explaining serenely:

“The Grassland Sword Saint said it himself, I definitely didn’t mishear. After he said those words, he immediately vomited a large mouthful of blood.”

As she spoke, she pointed at the bloodstains on the ground: “Right there.”

As her words fell.

The entire area fell into complete silence.

The people of Jianghai City exchanged glances, all shocked by this news.

Did such a thing as clones really exist in this world?

For those like them in the Acquired Realm, this was utterly unreachable, something that should only appear in supernatural legends…

But now, since even the Grassland Sword Saint had confirmed it, this was the final word that verified the truth of the matter!

“After this battle, Yuwen Xuan will probably experience a significant drop in cultivation realm.”

The Library Director shook his head and sighed, “That old scoundrel prepared for this battle for so long, only to have his defenses completely shattered now!”

Others nodded in agreement upon hearing this, gazing at the devastated surroundings around them.

One sword breaking all techniques, destroying mountains and severing rivers.

And this was just a clone?

Absurd!

Lord Sword God is actually this powerful!

Like a deity walking the earth!

……

……

Library, 1st floor.

In the corner, Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes, rose from his slacking-off stool, stretched comfortably, and twisted his neck.

Sitting for too long can easily cause lumbar disc herniation.

Even when slacking off, we must prioritize health!

The next moment, a wisp of radiant light streaked through the folds of the blinds, landing precisely in his palm, swirling and coiling before transforming into a miniature toy sword.

“Ziwei has returned.”

Qin Yang stored Ziwei away, suddenly feeling a sense of listlessness.

A hollow emptiness filled his heart.

“The Sword Saint? That’s it?”

From beginning to end, this battle had been entirely under his control, without even a hint of thrill or excitement.

The so-called Grassland Sword Saint wasn’t anything special.

What’s the big deal?

Just get up, one sword strike, instant victory!

If he could force me to leave the library, I’d concede defeat!

Qin Yang shook his head, then pinched Xiaobai’s soft nape with his backhand, placing her on the ground before starting warm-up exercises for his upcoming slacking-off session.

Relaxing his head, expanding his chest and swinging his arms, twisting his ankles… He had just completed two rounds when he saw Xia He running toward him with an excited expression.

“It’s exploded, Old Qin! So satisfying! This feels amazing!!”

Xia He ran over gesticulating wildly, shouting excitedly: “You’ll never believe what happened! Let me tell you…”Before he could continue, Qin Yang spoke first, “The Sword God won?”

“Huh?”

Xia He was momentarily stunned by Qin Yang’s unexpected interruption, but quickly nodded excitedly, “Yes! The Sword God won!”

“Oh.”

Qin Yang casually brushed it off. After finishing his third set of warm-ups, he picked up the soundly sleeping Xiaobai and tucked her back into his arms. Then he sat on the stool, took out his phone again, and continued scrolling through short videos.

As if nothing had happened…

“???”

Xia He stared wide-eyed at this, “Just an ‘oh’? Shouldn’t you… be a bit happier?”

Hearing this, Qin Yang glanced at him and brushed him off again, “Fine, I’m very happy. Don’t disturb my slacking off.”

“…”

Xia He choked on his words, rendered speechless on the spot.

After a long while.

Seeing that he’d made a fool of himself, he could only slink away dejectedly, scrolling through his phone alone and opening news websites.

At this moment.

The webpages were filled with related trending tags.

【Doppelganger】, 【One Sword】, 【Jianghai Sword God】.

There were simply too many explosive points, combined with the Sword God’s existing popularity, causing the matter to spread rapidly online and once again claim the top spot on trending searches.

“Holy crap! The Jianghai Sword God is too ruthless! Not only did he crush his opponent, but he also used a doppelganger? Adding insult to injury?!”

“People in Jianghai are so lucky to have such a master guarding their city!”

“I’m already planning to move to Jianghai, no one can talk me out of it!”

“Now that you mention it, the people of Jianghai really turned misfortune into blessing. After losing Sword Valley, they gained an even more powerful Sword Qi treasure land. So envious!”

“…”

“Hehe…”

On the way, Xia He typed comments on his phone with a silly grin.

When others noticed he was from Jianghai, they immediately addressed him affectionately as “handsome,” causing him to gradually lose himself in the chorus of compliments…

…………………

Meanwhile, at Sword Valley.

After the battle between the Sword Saint and Sword God, they left Jianghai City with a precious sacred ground.

Now, the cliff surfaces were crisscrossed with sword marks, and the Sword Qi spiritual charm had become even more majestic than before. The distance between the two sides of the canyon had been widened by over a hundred meters.

Nowadays, anyone who entered couldn’t help but be awed by this marvel.

“All thanks to Lord Sword God.”

Elder Li arrived at the center of Sword Valley, feeling the abundant Sword Qi surrounding him.

The dynamic and static energies respectively represented the Grassland Sword Saint’s Myriad Swords Return and the Jianghai Sword God’s Sky-Slicing Sword Draw.

The two residual Sword Qi forces balanced each other, still locked in combat, yet simultaneously complementing one another, mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, subtly embodying the principles of yin and yang.

If someone with sufficient talent were to come here in the future, they might very well gain new insights from this.

“Bringing peace for generations to come is truly a great meritorious deed.”

Elder Li sighed with profound emotion.

“Elder Li, it’s almost dark, haven’t you returned yet?”

The Police Inspector Commander spotted Elder Li and came over to greet him.

The Star Martial Police Department’s cleanup operations were still ongoing.

Large numbers of police reinforcements had been deployed to Sword Valley, and they might have to work through the night to eliminate all remaining dangers before the valley could be reopened to the public.

“Commander.”

Elder Li nodded slightly, gazing at the setting sun at the end of the valley. “This old man would like to further contemplate Lord Sword God’s handiwork. Perhaps I might gain new insights from it.”

Both men turned their eyes to the setting sun.

Clouds drifted and gathered as the molten gold of sunset painted the sky.The canyon seemed to be draped in a splendid garment, heralding the conclusion of all things.

In the days that followed, the citizens of Jianghai City renamed this place Sword God Valley, once again establishing it as a martial arts sanctuary of Jianghai City, so that the name of Jianghai Sword God would be forever praised.

Swordsmen came and went continuously to seek enlightenment in the valley, collectively composing a new legend.
