Therefore, the Emperor's Shadow inspired even greater awe in the many swordsmen.
In the hall, the crowd was buzzing with discussion:
"What? The fifth-ranked Sword Immortal is actually from the martial arts world of Japan, and is even of royal lineage?"
"It seems that it's no accident that a strongman like Yagyu Muki could emerge from the martial arts world of Japan. This place is even more powerful than we imagined."
"Huang Ying is a ruthless character. I consider myself ruthless enough, but I can't watch my wife and daughter die without changing my expression."
"Huang Ying's talent is terrifying! He only started practicing martial arts at the age of twenty, and he reached the level of a terrestrial immortal before he was even forty?"
"That Yagyu Mugo is so unlucky. He saved Huang Ying's family and even taught him swordsmanship, but he ended up being killed instead."
Chapter 84 The First Evil Emperor
"It can only be said that Huang Ying's talent is too amazing. He learned Liu Sheng Wuwang's swordsmanship in just ten days. He is definitely a martial arts genius."
"If Huang Ying could comprehend the 'Seven Transformations of Startling Emotion,' and with that strange Silence Blade, I'm afraid no one among the terrestrial immortals would be able to defeat him."
"Huang Ying's strength is clearly not that of an ordinary terrestrial immortal, yet he can only rank fifth on the Sword Immortal Ranking. How strong must the top four be?"
In the fifth private room on the west side of the fourteenth floor, Shangguan Haitang looked at Duan Tianya next to her in surprise: "Brother Duan, do you know Huang Ying?"
Duan Tianya nodded: "Back when I was studying in Japan, Huang Ying was already very famous. He was an absolute genius. Even Yagyu Tajima-no-kami was wary of him."
"No wonder Lord Shenhou has always been so cautious about the martial arts world in Japan, and even sent Brother Duan to Japan to investigate."
"It seems that the martial arts world of Japan is far more powerful than we thought, with countless masters," Shangguan Haitang said seriously.
Even the usually silent Guihai Yidao gripped his scabbard tightly and said in a low voice:
"If what the Celestial Immortal said is true, that Huang Ying only took about twenty years to reach this level, then his talent is definitely top-notch."
"If he continues to train, I'm afraid no one in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty will be able to deal with him."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the private room felt a chill run down their spines.
Japan was close to the Ming Dynasty, and its coastal areas were frequently harassed by Japanese pirates.
If the Japanese martial arts world were to launch an attack led by Huang Ying, the Ming Dynasty would be in dire straits.
"Tch! You guys are worrying way too much."
"Does Japan have experts, but the Ming Dynasty doesn't?"
"I think Lord Shenhou is hiding his true abilities; he might even be a terrestrial immortal," Cheng Shifei said casually.
Duan Tianya sighed: "Now we can only hope that there are many hidden masters in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty."
After some discussion, they all looked towards Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen's next comments.
Huang Ying's inclusion on the list has instantly elevated the status of the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking.
This made everyone very curious: which other swordsmen were stronger than Huang Ying?
On the white jade platform, Su Chen didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly to everyone:
"Next, let's comment on the next sword immortal on the list."
"Fourth on the Sword Immortal Ranking, the First Evil Emperor."
"This swordsman who made the list should be very familiar to friends in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty."
"He is the sworn brother of the Third Pig King and the Second Knife King."
"He is a true genius and extremely competitive; he has wanted to be number one since birth."
"His surname is First, and he is the eldest son in his family. He started learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting at the age of four. He is proficient in all of them, and no one can compare to him."
“He started practicing martial arts at the age of six, and three years later he had already surpassed all his teachers. No one could teach him; he could only figure it out on his own.”
"He is skilled not only with a knife, but also with a sword."
"His swordsmanship is even better than the Sword Emperor's, and his swordsmanship is also superior to the Sword Emperor's."
"However, he prefers swordsmanship and only identifies himself as a swordsman."
"Although he was already the number one swordsman in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, he was still not satisfied and continued to study the art of the sword."
"It took me ten whole years to finally comprehend a sword technique that shocked the world, called the 'Demon Sword'."
"But it was this very sword technique that killed the First Evil Emperor."
"While he was drinking and celebrating with the Third Pig King, his son, the First Seeker of Victory, arrived."
"This first one is just like his name, extremely competitive. When he heard that his father had created the strongest sword technique, he immediately wanted to try it out."
"The First Evil Emperor resolutely refused, because this sword technique was too evil, even he himself could hardly control it, and it would go out of control once it was used."
"Even the Third Pig King wouldn't dare to try it lightly, so how could he let his son, who is weaker than him, try it?"
"But the first one, determined to win, refused to give up, even threatening suicide."
"The First Evil Emperor had no choice but to agree to his son's request, saying that he would stop short of it."
"But he didn't expect that the evil nature of the Demon Blade was far beyond his imagination. As soon as he used it, he went mad."
"Although his combat power was close to that of a terrestrial celestial being at this time, he could not control his killing intent and ended up killing his son with his own hands."
"When he came to his senses, his son was already lying in a pool of blood, dead."
"The First Evil Emperor held his son and wept bitterly. From then on, he was heartbroken and locked himself in the Gate of Life and Death on the summit of Life and Death Mountain, never to emerge again."
"Thirty years passed in this way. He devoted himself to cultivation, and his strength grew stronger and stronger. He was about to reach the peak of the Land Immortal Realm."
"But the Demon Blade is too terrifying; it's at the level of a terrestrial celestial being."
"Even with his current cultivation level, he cannot fully control it and can only continue to seal himself."
"If he goes all out regardless of the consequences, he can even put up a fight against a terrestrial celestial being."
"Therefore, all things considered, he ranks fourth on the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
Especially the martial arts figures of the Han Dynasty sighed.
This figure, who once made the entire martial arts world of the Han Dynasty famous, was even more renowned than the Second Blade Emperor and the Sword Emperor of the Sword Sect.
Because he was known as a master of both swords and sabers, with his saber skills surpassing those of the Saber Emperor and his sword skills surpassing those of the Sword Emperor.
In a sense, his fame is comparable to that of the Sword Saint Dugu Jian and the martial arts legend Wuming.
That's why, after he went into seclusion, there was a lot of discussion in the martial arts world.
Some say that he and the Sword Emperor had a private duel, which resulted in both of them being seriously injured.
Some say he went mad from practicing his martial arts and died long ago.
Only now do people know why he retired: it was because he accidentally killed his own son.
Who wouldn't feel sorry after hearing about something like this?
The most surprising thing for the martial arts figures from other dynasties was that the Han Dynasty had another sword immortal on the list.
Including the First Evil Emperor, the Great Han Dynasty has a total of four Sword Immortals on the list.
Moreover, the First Evil Emperor was a true terrestrial sword immortal, whose cultivation had almost reached the peak of a terrestrial immortal.
Adding to this Su Chen's later comments, everyone was so surprised they were speechless.
The "Demon Blade" created by the First Evil Emperor was actually a demonic art that only experts at the Land Celestial Realm could fully master.
I was already quite surprised to hear that Yan Shisan had created the "Fifteen Deadly Swords" at the Divine Realm level while he was only at the half-step Divine Realm.
But compared to the First Evil Emperor, he was nothing. The First Evil Emperor, at the level of a terrestrial immortal, actually created a terrestrial celestial-level demonic art, which was beyond what mere talent could describe.
This also makes everyone understand why the First Evil Emperor can be ranked ahead of the Emperor Shadow.
The hall was instantly filled with a cacophony of voices:
"What? The fourth-ranked Sword Immortal is the First Evil Emperor? I thought he was long dead!"
"It was rumored in the martial arts world that the First Evil Emperor and the Sword Emperor had perished together, but it turns out that was just a rumor. The First Evil Emperor went into hiding because he was heartbroken after accidentally killing his own son."
"The first person to step forward and challenge him is really asking for death. Even the third Pig King doesn't dare to mess with him, but he still insisted on charging forward. He deserves to die."
"The Demon Blade is truly powerful. Only experts at the Land Celestial Realm can fully control it. Fortunately, the First Evil Emperor is not a member of the Demonic Path, otherwise, who knows how much trouble he would have caused."
"Yes! The First Evil Emperor secluded himself on the summit of Life and Death Mountain, partly because he killed his own son, and partly to seal this terrifying sword technique."
"Following Nie Renwang, the Third Pig Emperor, and the Second Knife Emperor, the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty has produced another terrestrial celestial being, the Knife Immortal. This martial arts world of the Han Dynasty is just too amazing!"
"Now I finally understand why Xiong Ba isn't ranked number one in the Han Dynasty. It's not that he's not strong enough, but that there are countless masters in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty."
In the third private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Xiong Ba slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Damn it! I never expected that the First Evil Emperor would still be alive!"
For the past twenty years, he has been virtually invincible.
The Twelve Fiends of Tianchi, the only force in the martial world that could rival him, were also subdued by him.
Only Dugu Yifang of Wushuang City could be considered a worthy opponent, but his strength was nowhere near that of Dugu Yifang.
But now, after hearing these discussions, I realize that there are so many powerful figures in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty.
Chapter 85 is extraordinary.
Let's leave aside the experts at the terrestrial Celestial Realm like Wuming, Mu Yingxiong, the Immortal God, and the Demon Lord.
The Sword Saint Dugu Jian, who has been in seclusion for forty years, the First Evil Emperor, who has been in seclusion for thirty years, and the Sword Emperor, who has disappeared for twenty years, are enough to give him a headache.
Not to mention Po Jun, who went to Japan, and Jue Wushen, the Palace Master of Wushen Jue Palace, who is eyeing the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty.
"I must obtain the Blood Bodhi of Lingyun Cave."
Xiong Ba clenched his fist and muttered something to himself.
Now it seems that his only hope is the blood of the Fire Qilin.
"The Demon Blade? I never imagined that there was such a domineering sword technique in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty."
Nie Feng thought to himself, very interested.
