“Wuji Jianhuang!”
“This person is actually Wuji Jianhuang?”
“The most defiant swordsman in the Martial Domain two thousand years ago?”
Qin Chen and Ji Ruyue were both astonished.
Wuji Jianhuang, they had both heard of this name. This person was a prodigious talent in swordsmanship who appeared in the Martial Domain over two thousand years ago. At the age of thirty, he broke through to the eighth level Martial Emperor, causing a sensation throughout the Martial Domain.
Of course, his strongest attribute was his swordsmanship talent. He was the most incredible swordsman in the Martial Domain at that time, having once killed an initial-stage eighth level Martial Emperor with a single sword strike while at the half-step Martial Emperor level.
This caused an earth-shattering commotion.
In fact, while it was terrifying to compete with an initial-stage eighth level Martial Emperor at the half-step Martial Emperor level, it wasn’t considered particularly top-tier. At least in the Martial Domain, every era would produce some talents who fought above their ranks.
However, killing an initial-stage eighth level Martial Emperor with a single strike while at the half-step Martial Emperor level was extraordinary. This implied that in terms of offensive power, this person completely surpassed ordinary Martial Emperors, representing a qualitative difference.
He was hailed as the number one genius of swordsmanship in the Martial Domain at that time.
Everyone was certain that this person would definitely break through to the Martial God realm and become one of the prominent figures on the continent.
But who would have thought that such a defiant swordsman would begin to wander the continent for experience after surpassing the Martial Emperor, disappearing without a trace ever since.
At that time, various speculations arose across the continent.
Some suspected he was pursued and killed by enemies.
Others believed he fell during training in a secret realm.
More believed that certain Martial God powerhouses couldn’t bear to see such a genius rise and thus eliminated him in his infancy.
Now, Qin Chen and Ji Ruyue understood that this Wuji Jianhuang actually fell within this Strange Sword Legacy.
This meant that on the surface, the Strange Sword Legacy was opened over a thousand years ago, but in reality, someone had entered it more than two thousand years ago.
One could imagine that when Wuji Jianhuang entered the Strange Sword Legacy, he must have done so before the age of thirty-six. Yet at that time, he was at the very least an initial-stage eighth level Martial Emperor. Given his talent, if he entered the Strange Sword Legacy at thirty-five or thirty-six, his cultivation might have been even higher.
But even such a genius fell here.
What on earth is this Strange Sword Legacy?
Qin Chen and Ji Ruyue gasped. The fact that they managed to survive was purely luck. They both stepped into the seventh level together, supporting each other to survive.
Otherwise, if even the Wuji Jianhuang had died here, despite their own strength, they were still not Martial Emperors. In terms of combat power, they certainly couldn’t match Wuji Jianhuang.
“What is the Alien Race Sword Tower? Is this sword tower left behind by another race?”
Then, Ji Ruyue's gaze fell on the few lines of text behind, mumbling to herself.
Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed. Could the “alien race” mentioned by Wuji Jianhuang refer to the Demon Tribe?
His mental energy instantly spread into the Zhenmo Ding, inquiring with the Skeleton Captain.
Upon hearing Qin Chen’s question, the Skeleton Captain only shook his head. Back then, there were too many powerful figures from the Demon Tribe. He was not among the top tier, hence many hidden secrets he did not know.
As for the Strange Sword Legacy and Sword Tower, he had never heard of them.
If the Skeleton Captain knew about this sword tower, Qin Chen might have taken the risk to release him, but since he didn’t know, Qin Chen naturally wouldn’t let the Skeleton Captain out in front of Ji Ruyue.
