Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5899: Embarrassed Jian Wushuang



Divine Wood King gazed at the sky, where Jian Wushuang and the old monk were about to meet, murmuring to himself, "Perhaps this is fate."

Jian Wushuang's power was undeniable to all who witnessed it. He now possessed the innate power of Life.

Having such a chance must surely be the favor of the highest order of Law Rules.

With such heaven-defying opportunities, how could there not be a Guardian?

The eyes of everyone were filled with envy and jealousy as they looked at the two figures intersecting in the sky.

Jian Wushuang's mouth almost curved into a smile as he reached out towards the old monk, who reciprocated the gesture, grinning.

But just as the two were about to meet, Jian Wushuang froze in place.

The old monk, in a subtle maneuver, bypassed him and walked towards Danbao and Elder Blu.

This scene surprised everyone greatly.

They thought the old monk was joking.

How could he bypass Jian Wushuang and go to Danbao?

A descendant of the Dragon God?

How could he possibly be related to the Guardian of the power of Life?

Elder Blu was also nervous, but he could tell from the old monk's eyes that there was no malice, so he slowly stepped aside.

Danbao looked at the old monk, his gaze innocent, unsure of what to say.

"Old..." The old monk stood before Danbao, first wiping his somewhat dirty paws, then taking Danbao's hands.

He was about to speak, but the word 'old' hung on his lips.

However, remembering someone's instructions, he immediately changed his tone, saying, "Elder, humble monk, greetings to the young master!"

Such a polite address stunned everyone. Was this the same carefree monk from before?

All eyes converged on Danbao, completely forgetting Jian Wushuang.

Poor Jian Wushuang stood awkwardly in the air, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

Why did all the good things have to pass him by?

At this moment, Wu Li soared into the air and arrived opposite Jian Wushuang. Finally seeing a familiar face, he wanted to approach to ease the embarrassment.

But to his surprise, Wu Li, grinning, also bypassed him and headed towards Danbao.

"Oh, this is quite a situation! Turns out we're all on the same side, little Danbao!" Wu Li said, wanting to get closer.

But before he could reach Danbao, the old monk slapped him away.

Fortunately, the old monk controlled his strength, and Wu Li only ended up with a swollen half of his face, without any serious injury.

If the old monk had truly intended harm, that slap could have killed a Seventh Tribulation expert.

After being slapped away, Wu Li dared not approach again, feeling a bit aggrieved as he covered his face.

"Hmph, worthless riffraff!" Jian Wushuang snorted coldly.

Seizing the opportunity, he relaxed a bit, turned around, looked at Danbao, and cast a glance at Elder Blu.

He was signaling that everything was fine.

Although initially bewildered, Danbao gradually understood the situation through some transmissions from the old monk.

After nodding blankly, Danbao respectfully bowed to the old monk.

The old monk quickly returned the gesture, saying, "Young master, please, I cannot accept your respect!"

Seeing the old monk's reluctance, Danbao had no choice but to stand up.

"Master, just call me Danbao from now on. Let me introduce you. This is Elder Blu, the perfect warrior of my Polunga Clan, and my benefactor, Jian Wushuang!" Danbao gestured towards Blu and then looked at Jian Wushuang.

The old monk first smiled at Blu, then turned his gaze to Jian Wushuang, but there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

Jian Wushuang, who had intended to step forward, could only remain in place.

"Danbao is fortunate to meet you, Master!" Jian Wushuang politely returned the gesture.

But deep down, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Why did he become Danbao's Guardian?

He was the one who possessed the purest Life force.

Why someone else and not him?

Just as he was pondering this in his heart.

The old monk's voice turned cold. "Jian Wushuang, are you now wondering why, despite mastering the purest innate Life power, you were defeated by someone else?"

"Umm?" Jian Wushuang was caught off guard. He couldn't possibly be asked to defend himself in front of so many people.

If he denied it, no one would believe him.

And he had indeed been pondering it just now.

If he admitted it, wouldn't it mean he couldn't bear the loss?

Danbao also felt that the old monk's words were somewhat aggressive and quickly tugged at the old monk's sleeve.

When the old monk looked at Danbao, his expression softened, and he reassured, "Young master, rest assured, he is your benefactor, just as he is mine. I naturally won't make things difficult. It's just that his doubts, if not resolved, will be detrimental to him."

Jian Wushuang cleared his throat. Since the old monk had spoken like this, he could only

admit it.

It wasn't embarrassing.

A gentleman is frank and open.

If you have something, you might as well say it.

"Elder, I do have some doubts. I know that Danbao possesses the natural power of All Things within him, which can also be transformed into Life force. But compared to me, there is obviously a big difference. You are the Guardian of Life force. Why did you choose Danbao?"

As those words were spoken, the others also soared into the air, eager to hear what was going

on.

Lord Hengmu couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

He hadn't expected the old monk to become the Guardian of Danbao.

At the same time, a speculation arose in his mind. However, he didn't want to acknowledge it.

As for Divine Wood King, it was fine.

As long as he wasn't Jian Wushuang's Guardian, there was still a possibility for him to enter

the Wanliu.

This turned out to be advantageous for him.

Moreover, he was curious why they didn't choose the more outstanding Jian Wushuang but

opted for an obscure figure.

An ordinary Tribulation realm cultivator.

The fact that he could control innate Life force and transform it into Life energy was indeed

remarkable.

However, compared to Jian Wushuang's innate Life force, it was still lacking.

The old monk, seeing that everyone was present, also spoke up.

"You're thinking along the right lines. After all, in this world, it's survival of the fittest. Only

the strong can dominate everything. However, this is just your perspective, not the ultimate

Law Rule!"

These words shook everyone.

The mindset of the strong!

The dominion of the strong! Wasn't that the way it should be?

Under the ultimate Law Rule, didn't the strong survive?

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, the old monk spoke again, "I used to think just like you, seeing the weak as ants and the strong as the rulers of the world. But later, I encountered an extraordinary being who could manipulate the ultimate Law Rule. He is a true god, and it

was he who enlightened me, showing me the essence of the world."

The essence!

Once again, everyone took a deep breath.

"The Tribulation of the ultimate Law Rule is clear to all, but who truly understands it? For the

weak and the strong, the Tribulation makes no difference. This is the fairness of the ultimate Law Rule. In the eyes of the ultimate Law Rule, there is no survival of the fittest. That whole concept is just an excuse for the wicked deeds of mortals!"

This time, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.
