  I lost!

  Chang Dingfeng, a renowned swordsman in the imperial capital, was unexpectedly defeated by Wang Ting, and fell under the sword of this high-ranking sword cultivator.

  This result made Zhou Tianchi, Lin Qi and others almost unbelievable.

  Chang Dingfeng, truly a powerful warrior who surpasses the peak of great swordsmen, although not yet at the level to rival the Sword Master, but against ordinary great swordsmen like Lin Qi, one or two are no match for him. The title of one of the Three Small Famous Swords in the Imperial City is absolutely not an undeserved reputation.

  But now, such a powerful swordsman, was actually defeated under Wang Ting's sword...

  Isn't that saying...

  The current Wang Ting is already the second swordsman under Lie Dou Yang, only inferior to Tai Xuan!

  "What I used just now was absolutely not the Thorough Heart Sword Technique?"

  Chang Dingfeng's eyes were fixed intently on Wang Ting in front of him, his face dark and terrifying.

  "I've said it before, that's my Heart-Clearing Sword Technique."

  Wang Ting's gaze slowly swept over the Ruo Sheng sword in his hand. Over the past few months, he had been tempering this fine steel sword with his own spirit. On the surface, it still looked like its usual self, but in terms of solidity, it was no longer inferior to any famous or precious sword.

  "Thorough Heart Sword Technique?"

  Chang Dingfeng was also a master of swordsmanship and naturally understood what Wang Ting's words were hinting at.

  Any swordsmanship, when cultivated, is divided into several realms. Among them, after reaching the Great Perfection Realm, it means that this swordsmanship has been cultivated to its limit. Next, if you want to break through again, the only way is to integrate your own style into this swordsmanship, re-cultivate and perfect it into a swordsmanship that belongs to yourself.

  This realm...

  Return to simplicity and authenticity.

  "It's impossible, the Thorough Heart Sword Technique is a quasi-legendary sword technique created by Lie Dongyang. This sword technique hasn't even been mastered to its peak by him, let alone perfected, how can it be cultivated to this realm?!"

  Chang Dingfeng's words were barely out of his mouth when a cold, murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

  In his heart, he had actually believed it, but as one of the three small famous swords in Wangdu, he couldn't tolerate himself being defeated by a high-ranking swordsman's sword. Especially since this high-ranking swordsman was less than eighteen years old, if this matter were to spread, it would be a fatal blow to his reputation, and would also have a serious impact on his future position in the Yuexuan Swordsman Team.

  "It's clear that you've mixed in some despicable tactics into your swordsmanship, with the goal of defeating me. Just like how you ambushed and cut off my brother's arm during the temple mission back then. We won't make the same mistake twice. Come on, take him down!"

  Chang Dingfeng's loud voice echoed through the valley, his face changing faster than a flipped book.

  "Clang! Clang! Clang!"

  Upon receiving the order, twenty or so knights simultaneously drew their swords. These knights were all elite warriors, each with a high level of cultivation that surpassed even formal swordsmen. Several of them had already reached the higher levels of swordsmanship, and they excelled at group battles, being well-versed in combat formations. If they charged forward together, it was uncertain whether even three great swordsmen from the royal court could withstand them.

  "Chang Dingfeng, what a big nerve you have! Without sufficient evidence, you actually dared to attack the nobles in the imperial capital. Do you really think that just because you're in charge of the Yuexuan Swordsmen's Regiment, you can do as you please in the imperial capital?"

  Seeing those swordsmen swiftly surrounding him under the command of Chang Dingfeng, Zhou Tianchi was both shocked and enraged. His gaze turned to those swordsmen, filled with coercion: "I dare guarantee that this time our actions are all private, there is no order from our superiors on our bodies. In this situation, if we dare to take action against me, a baron of the kingdom, it would be an attack on the nobility. This crime, even Chang Dingfeng cannot protect you."

  As soon as this was said, the swordsmen surrounding the three people indeed showed a hesitant expression on their faces.

  They are the kingdom's soldiers, following the kingdom's laws, but unlike Fei Qian Cheng, Fan Zhong, Hai Ming and others, they are not the nobles' house servants or private soldiers. Without orders from their superiors, it is indeed a heinous crime to take action against the nobles.

  "What's going on, are you still waiting for something? If anything happens, I'll take responsibility. Zhou Tianchi, think carefully about this. This is equivalent to opposing our Chang family. Once we provoke the anger of our Chang family, let alone a small baron like him, even if it were Master Fang Qianhua, Earl of the Imperial Sword, he might not be able to protect himself!"

  "Hmph, daring to arrest people without orders? I don't believe it. The laws of the kingdom are all written by our family, and we can trample them however we want."

  After witnessing Wang Ting defeat Chang Dingfeng, one of the Three Small Famous Swords, again with his own eyes, Zhou Tianchi had made up his mind to protect Wang Ting, and even at this moment, his tone was still extremely tough.

  "Alright! Zhou Tianchi, very well! Since you're obstinately refusing to understand and want to oppose our Jiang family, then don't blame me. As he spoke, Jiang Dingfeng gave the order again: "This noble, I'll take care of him myself. You all, together, capture those two people for me."

  "Yes."

  Upon hearing that they wouldn't have to confront Zhou Tianchi's noble status, the swordsmen collectively let out a sigh of relief and were about to drag Wang Ting and Lin Qi away.

  For a moment, the scene seemed to be on the verge of losing control.

  "Stop!"

  Just at this moment, a loud and clear shout came from afar, followed by the sight of an armored swordsman leading a team of fifty or so men on horseback swiftly surrounding them. From their attire and demeanor, it was evident that they belonged to the City Guard of the Eastern District.

  These people are naturally no match for the swordsmen brought by Chang Dingfeng in terms of quality, but maintaining urban security is their responsibility, they occupy the moral high ground, so even if every knight behind Chang Dingfeng has a cultivation above that of a swordsman, they still boldly surrounded him.

  "What's going on here? In broad daylight, a group of people are fighting, and they still don't put the kingdom's laws in their eyes?"

  A middle-aged man wearing armor shouted loudly, with a serious and solemn expression.

  "Are you trying to meddle in other people's business?"

  Chang Dengfeng's eyes were fixed intently on the middle-aged man, his eyes filled with menace.

  "This is none of your business, this is something within my jurisdiction. How can Viscount Changdingfeng say that this is none of his business? It seems like Viscount Changdingfeng thinks I'm not qualified to handle this matter anymore? If you have any opinions, you can go and report directly to my superior."

  The middle-aged man has already made his position clear by saying so.

  When he heard Wan Ju Feng's words, Chang Deng Feng's face turned even more unsightly.

  Wan Ju Feng and others have made it clear that they stand on the side of Zhou Tian Chi and others, wanting to help them. Moreover, in fact, gathering crowds to fight is also within their scope of duty. The reason is not on his side. If this matter really gets stirred up, the ones who will ultimately suffer a loss will only be the Chang family.

  "Alright, very well, Wan Jufeng, I've taken note of this matter...my superior...I'll definitely go visit him when I have the chance."

  "At your service anytime."

  There was no fear in Wan Jie's eyes.

  Being able to sit in the position of City Guard Captain in a place like Wangdu where dragons and tigers are hidden, how could there not be some kind of backing behind him?

  "Let's go."

  It can't be done, Chang Dingfeng looked at Wan Jufeng, Zhou Tianchi and Wang Ting with a hint of resentment in his heart, but he could only lead his men to retreat.

  The matter has been temporarily put to an end.
