Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1848 The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty 8

Jiang Xinxin didn't take Song Shidao seriously at all. In fact, if it weren't for the scandalous affair between Tian Dao Song Que and Fan Qinghui, and the fact that she had killed Xie Hui, a relative by marriage of the Song Clan, and the fact that Xie Family Fort had sent a letter to the Song Clan, she might not have even bothered to go to Lingnan, this desolate land full of poisonous miasma and insects.

Song Que is indeed a remarkable person. His romantic scandal with Fan Qinghui is still circulating outside. His martial arts level is still a step below that of a grandmaster, but that step is not as far away as he imagined. Therefore, he cherishes the opportunity to spar with Jiang Xinxin today.

Since it was agreed that it was just a friendly spar, Jiang Xinxin was happy to oblige, seeing that Song Que was clear-headed. The Law of Heaven and Earth was not suitable, and the Cycle of the Four Seasons was a bit too much. However, the Heavenly River Reversal technique used in the previous world was somewhat compatible with Song Que's sword.

The knife is an extremely domineering and fierce weapon, so people who use knives as weapons are at least more direct in character. And in terms of domineering and fierceness, how can any ordinary scenery compare to the Milky Way hanging upside down?

It's not uncommon for Song Que's sword to be born from the scenery of Lingnan. After all, Lingnan is a land of high mountains and long rivers. He must have seen waterfalls formed during periods of abundant rainfall and mudslides caused by landslides. Otherwise, his sword wouldn't have the awe-inspiring power and sense of annihilation that comes with it.

Jiang Xinxin originally thought that the sense of annihilation in Song Que's sword intent came from his exchanges with Fan Qinghui, who came from a Buddhist sect, when he was young. Now it seems that she hastily made a judgment. Song Que's sword intent clearly came from what he saw and heard in Lingnan.

Song Que needed to build up his momentum, while Jiang Xinxin's intention was as spontaneous as her will, requiring no such long build-up. However, she felt there was no need to show off her "ability" in this place, so she simply created a longer build-up as well. She took a sword from the weapon rack next to the training ground, pretended to build up momentum for a long time, and finally soared into the air.

At this very moment, the clear blue sky had changed, and it seemed that everything around her was being drawn by Jiang Xinxin's "inner strength" and changing according to her will.

Suddenly, a dark cloud rose in the sky, enveloping the entire Song Clan. Daylight instantly turned into night. Although the sight of the sun and moon in the same sky was not uncommon in Lingnan, turning day into night in the middle of the day was something even a Grandmaster could not do!

The darkness was not simply the sunlight being completely obscured. The stars in the sky, which had been hidden by the excessive sunlight, seemed to be drawn from the heavens to Jiang Xinxin's side. They gathered one by one, forming a galaxy around her. As she moved, this galaxy began to flow, carrying with it a majestic and all-encompassing heavenly power.

Leaving aside the stunned bystanders, Song Que, who was at the center of all this, was the one with the most right to speak.

The ability to summon down the stars from the heavens is a sight almost unseen by mortals, and the profound power hidden behind this beautiful scene is a power that Song Que could not easily obtain.

Song Que, as the head of the Song Clan, is more famous for his nickname "Heavenly Blade" and his unfulfilled romance with Fan Qinghui. However, this does not mean that he, as a young master from a prominent family, lacks basic aesthetic sense.

The sight of the Milky Way hanging upside down is magnificent in itself, but what's more, behind this indescribable beauty lies boundless danger.

Jiang Xinxin spoke up to remind Song Que: "Clan Leader Song, this sword technique is called 'Heavenly River Upside Down,' please take a look—"

Jiang Xinxin slashed out with her sword. The first thing that moved with the sword's edge was a light breeze, and behind this gentle breeze came the force of falling stars.

Song Que only saw the stars flying towards him with Jiang Xinxin's sword. The beautiful scenery was unforgettable, but he only felt his own insignificance. As the stars got closer, he couldn't even feel himself anymore. His six senses were reduced to sight, and he could only see the beauty approaching, without any further reaction.

Jiang Xinxin only exchanged a few words with Song Que and did not intend to take his life, so she just wanted to exert some influence on Song Que and let him see her "intention".

After a while, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone again on the Song Clan. The serene and peaceful scenery returned, and Song Que's senses, which had been deprived of them, were fully restored.

He couldn't help but laugh and sigh, "Truly, life is unpredictable. This move, 'The Milky Way Reversed,' is less about bringing the Milky Way down to earth to show mortals the power of divine will, and more about what Miss Jiang really wanted people to see: the helplessness of watching everything unfold without being able to stop it..."

Jiang Xinxin flicked her wrist, and the ordinary iron sword she had taken from the weapon rack was put back in her hand. She smiled casually and said, "I thought that after seeing the rainy season in Lingnan, Lord Song would have his own feelings about the majestic power of the heavens."

Song Que shook his head with a helpless smile, "Although my Song Clan has long been confined to a corner of the world, I am still a rich man. In my early years, I only had some troubles in love, and I have never encountered any setbacks. So even though I have seen the power of heaven and earth, I have never felt powerless. Now I can say that I have made up for it."

But then he became curious about Jiang Xinxin's background, especially since he had witnessed her sword intent today. This curiosity became even more irresistible. So, relying on the glimpse of her temperament he had just gleaned from her sword intent, he simply asked, "Please forgive my impertinence, Miss Jiang, but where did you come from to comprehend this majestic heavenly might?"

Song Que's aptitude was not bad, but Jiang Xinxin did not expect that Song Que could be so patient and not immediately go into seclusion to comprehend what he had just gained. Instead, he inquired about the inside story of her comprehending the Heavenly River Reversal.

Jiang Xinxin was certain that Song Que didn't suspect her and was just curious, so she didn't feel offended by his words and answered truthfully, "I've only seen the sight of stars falling and witnessed the true power of the heavens. This move, 'Heavenly River Reversal,' is just the tip of the iceberg. When it's truly unleashed, that's the end of the world."

Song Que couldn't imagine what the actual effect of Jiang Xinxin's description would be, but he couldn't stand the formalities any longer. He could only clasp his hands in a fist and bow, "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, I've just obtained something and would like to..."

"I would be honored if Miss Jiang would grace us with her presence; our Song clan certainly has its own charm."

Jiang Xinxin waved her hand to indicate her understanding: "Please make yourself at home, Clan Leader Song. There will be plenty of time in the future. I haven't yet witnessed Clan Leader Song's strongest strike."

Song Que was extremely grateful and quickly called to his two younger brothers, "From today onwards, Miss Jiang is an honored guest of the Song family. Seeing her is like seeing me. No one is allowed to neglect her in the slightest!"

Song Que's two brothers readily agreed, and Song Que immediately flew back to the place where he had been in seclusion. Jiang Xinxin then moved into the largest, highest, and most scenic courtyard in the Song Clan, besides the main courtyard, which drew a lot of complaints from Song Yuzhi.
