The crane, snow-white and crystal clear, rose into the air like a flying sword, instantly bursting into a dazzling sword light!
It was too brilliant, its body instantly transforming from the lustrous white of lamb's fat jade to a dazzling and intimidating brilliance, with sword light surging!
People were dumbfounded, wondering if they had seen it wrong.
A snow-white sword body appeared in the sky, piercing towards the Eagle King, its sword light illuminating all directions.
The Eagle King was about fifty to sixty meters long, with a massive body that seemed to be cast from black gold, emitting a cold luster. Now, its feathers, harder than fine steel, were almost standing on end, sensing an extremely dangerous aura approaching.
It extended its sharp claws, striking at the white light, and a deafening metallic tremor echoed through the sky.
A piercing eagle cry rang out.
A splash of blood, the Eagle King retreated, its black wings fluffed up and standing on end, filled with shock and anger, a chill rising in its heart.
Its claws were injured, deep sword marks left, nearly severing a part of it.
At the base of its claws, the flesh was torn by the sword aura, blood dripping.
The crane soared through the air, decisive and resolute, launching its attack without hesitation, the sword light piercing the sky, truly like a sword immortal.
The Eagle King let out a long cry, enraged. No matter what, it was a king, yet it had been struck twice, its body glowing.
With a hum, it became like a black sun, its body burning with black light, and it spat out a bolt of lightning.
It was black lightning, accompanied by flames, striking towards the crane.
In mid-air, the crane was too fast, directly evading and once again charging towards the Eagle King, the snow-white sword aura surging!
At this moment, people from all over stared with wide eyes, holding their breath, watching this scene in disbelief.
Could it be that the legendary swordsmen of Shu Mountain were this crane?
"Slow down the footage, take a closer look!" someone from the military whispered, also shocked, as this was truly groundbreaking and required serious attention.
The footage captured by satellites was played in slow motion.
Only then did people see the truth, finding it quite astonishing.
When the crane attacked, its posture was strange; it did not spread its wings but kept them folded by its sides, and its legs were stretched straight back.
Its body almost formed a straight line, with its beak as the tip, charging forward!
This made it look like a snow-white sword, glowing and piercing through the air.
In fact, its long beak was indeed glowing, different from ordinary cranes, its beak snow-white and crystal clear, emitting sword aura!
Indeed, it looked like a flying sword!
People finally understood that this crane used its body as a sword, cutting through the sky.
Its body was surrounded by a radiant glow, sword light shooting out, invincible.
In the sky, the crane soared, moving too fast, surpassing the Eagle King, no different from a flying sword.
"This is definitely some kind of tradition!" someone exclaimed in shock, otherwise, why would it be like this? Unlike the habits of cranes, it seemed to be wielding a sword.
In the sky over Shu, sparks flew as the two avian kings fiercely battled.
The Eagle King fought desperately; if it did not give its all, it might be struck down by the crane in the next moment, already in a dangerous situation.
Anyone could see that this crane was too powerful, worthy of its reputation as a supreme being that had forced back major financial groups and defeated many strange creatures, completely overwhelming the Eagle King.
Blood splattered, the crane flew past, slicing a terrifying wound in the Eagle King's abdomen, blood flowing, its black wings soaked.
The Eagle King let out a furious cry, extremely unwilling, but deep down, it was also afraid.
But it had no choice, having fought to this point, it could only fight to the death; if it tried to escape, it might be immediately pierced by the crane's sword.
Sword light shot out, the crane continuously clashed with the Eagle King.
Even the Eagle King's hardest parts were damaged, whether its claws or beak, both nearly broken, with sword marks all over.
Finally, one of its claws was severed, part of its flesh falling from the sky.
The Eagle King let out a piercing cry, its feathers spreading, its body surrounded by black lightning, and black light surging, fighting with all its might.
Now, it was not holding back; any mistake would mean certain death!
It could see that the crane, when not attacking, was gentle and could be negotiated with, but once in battle, it was absolutely decisive, showing no mercy.
At this moment, the Eagle King could not stop even if it wanted to, as the other side had already decided to kill it.
"Kill!" the Eagle King roared, feathers flying, black light bursting from its body, and it seemed to be about to explode.
This scene was too terrifying, it had used its strongest move!
Many people's hearts raced, fearing it would turn the tide with this move or even destroy itself and the crane together.
One bolt of black lightning after another exploded, emitting an extremely terrifying energy wave, almost forming a terrifying field.
Many terrifying black lights struck the crane, all incredibly thick, the scene horrifying.
Some black lights flew out, landing on the mountains below, causing them to explode, many high cliffs being cut off.
The power was truly immense, terrifying beyond measure!
The crane did not resist directly, constantly dodging.
But the black lights were too numerous, continuously shooting out, determined to kill the crane.
During this time, the Eagle King's beak was full of blood, and its body showed signs of cracking, clearly paying a huge price for this terrifying attack.
The crane spread its wings, different from before, no longer like a sword body.
On its body, a faint white light flowed, forming ripples, spreading out, then the white light grew more intense, eventually like a surging sea, waves reaching the sky.
It flapped its wings, dispersing the black lights one by one!
"A crane spreading its wings... it's actually this powerful." someone skilled in ancient martial arts whispered.
And, it seemed he was participating in a live broadcast, his unintentional words being played out.
People were speechless, this was the legendary... crane spreading its wings? But the power was too absurd!
Domestically, it was understandable, but people abroad, upon seeing this scene and hearing the commentary, were speechless, then confused, what was going on?!
The Eagle King let out a long cry, anxious, its body covered in cracks, unable to bear it, blood continuously flowing.
This was an ultimate move, causing great harm to itself, its body about to shatter.
"Being of the same kind, you attack me, are you not afraid of angering other kings?" the Eagle King said with a show of strength, as it could not hold on.
"You are pitiful, being deceived by the wolf to cause chaos, the benefits promised by some beast kings, you will not receive."
The crane stopped, once again showing its snow-white and gentle body, surrounded by white mist.
It had a divine aura, when not attacking, it was extraordinary.
"You..." the Eagle King wanted to say something, feeling fear, as the other side, though peaceful, seemed about to deliver a killing blow.
The crane moved again, swift as lightning, spreading its wings and soaring through the air.
This time, it was not a single body like a sword.
It flapped its wings, one wing bursting with terrifying white light, incredibly sharp, sweeping across the sky.
The Eagle King's neck was struck, pfft, blood spurted high, it was filled with fear and despair, its massive head falling.
The headless Eagle King, about fifty to sixty meters long, crashed to the ground below.
The crane transformed into a white light, heading towards Emei Mountain, quickly disappearing.
People were stunned, silent for a long time.
After a while, the noise began.
All over the world, many people saw the live broadcast, amazed.
"Heaven, there really are sword immortals, and it's a crane!" people abroad were stunned, a bit dazed.
Even domestically, it was no exception, everyone was amazed, finding it hard to believe.
Of course, people were more amazed!
Everywhere was in turmoil, no one was discussing, as this event was too shocking.
The crane's combat power was evident!
Not to mention humans, even the beast kings in various regions were wary.
At this moment, the internet was like boiling water.
"The Crane King is too powerful, this is simply sweeping, cleanly and decisively cutting down the Eagle King, sword light surging, unparalleled!"
"There are still strange creatures that are friendly to humans, this is great, I want to go to Shu, with the Crane King protecting, it is the safest place now."
People had a sense of agreement, many were discussing.
The Crane King's rise shook everywhere!
"Quick, bring back the Eagle King's body, don't let other strange creatures eat it, this is invaluable king-level flesh, it will have great use."
The military was restless, already giving orders, the Eagle King's body must be brought back as soon as possible.
That day, many people around the world were talking about the crane of Shu Mountain, amazed by its extraordinary performance.
In the West and other places, people were envious, it was like a guardian deity, protecting the Shu Mountain region.
Some places abroad even wanted to send envoys to Shu Mountain, asking the crane for help.
Clearly, they would have to pass through the higher-ups of the Nine Provinces first.
Domestically, all major forces paid great attention to the crane on Shu Mountain, it was too powerful.
For a time, all kinds of information about it were being organized and even spread.
Because some major financial groups and forces had competed for Emei Mountain and had dealings with the crane.
In the end, the Ancient Alliance, the Pre-Qin Research Institute, and other major forces were forced to step forward, revealing some truths.
Since ancient times, Shu has had many legends of sword immortals, naturally attracting the attention of all major financial groups. With the dramatic changes in the world, these people understood part of the truth and immediately sent people to compete.
Emei Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain, aside from the legends of sword immortals, are also famous mountains, naturally becoming their first choice in Shu, leading to intense battles.
In fact, strange creatures were more sensitive, taking the initiative.
Especially a crane, originally living on Emei Mountain, it could be said to have the advantage of proximity.
Since the changes in the world began, it has been with a mysterious ancient tree, never leaving.
"This ancient tree is rooted on the summit of Emei Mountain, which is the most important place," a member of the Ancient Alliance sighed.
The summit of Emei Mountain, shimmering with light, even the cliffs are crystal clear, emitting divine radiance.
The ancient tree is very mysterious, its flowers shaped like sword bodies, with a metallic luster, swaying in the wind, making a clanging sound.
Finally, when it bears fruit, the few fruits are small, thumb-sized swords, looking extremely sharp.
The crane guarded the ancient tree, initially very passive, almost being killed.
Because some strange creatures were not weaker than it, surrounding and attacking it, leaving it covered in blood.
The reason was only one, a subterranean palace appeared on the summit of Emei Mountain, emitting a faint glow, protecting the ancient tree and the crane.
Soon, it became increasingly powerful, obtaining a breathing technique from the subterranean palace, a kind of tradition.
Hearing the news from several major forces, people were dumbfounded, finding it too bizarre.
Soon, the summit of Emei Mountain was bathed in golden light, surrounded by a faint mist, with many lotus flowers and other strange trees appearing near the sword tree.
The major forces called the ancient tree, which blooms and bears fruit like flying swords, the Sword Tree, the first treasure tree of Emei Mountain.
Originally, the various parties did not want to back down, but the news from Qingcheng Mountain made them wary.
The changes in Qingcheng Mountain were naturally astonishing, the entire mountain glowing, and most importantly, another "Sword Tree" appeared there, also occupied by a crane.
The most terrifying thing was that the two cranes were very familiar, suspected to be brothers!
This made the various parties wary!
In the end, when they completely occupied the two mountains, people gave up, not wanting to provoke them.
One was already terrifying, two cranes working together was truly unsettling.
These secret messages, once revealed, caused a sensation.
Not long after, the two cranes from Emei Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain appeared together, announcing the establishment of a sect, named the Shu Mountain Sword Palace!
They openly stated that they indeed mastered a breathing technique, and soon the Shu Mountain Sword Palace would widely recruit disciples.
After the Great Forest Temple, the Shu Mountain Sword Palace emerged, another sect formed by strange creatures.
"To Shu Mountain, it is the safest place!"
"Yes, I also want to go, to become a sword immortal!"
Many people were moved, wanting to set out immediately.
Chu Feng had been paying attention all along, his heart deeply shaken, even he was moved, the tradition of the Shu Mountain Sword Palace was extremely tempting to him.
"Xiao Feng, tomorrow we will meet the relevant people," Chu Zhiyuan told him, they would be tested by the relevant departments the next day.
"I want to go to Emei Mountain," Chu Feng mumbled.
"Thinking about those two sword trees?" Chu Zhiyuan laughed, then told him that there was no need to go far.
Once Chu Feng joined the country's special group, he might be directly sent to the Fengshan site!
Chu Zhiyuan was very serious, saying, "The reason strange creatures are so strong is that they have climbed famous mountains, discovering mysterious ancient trees first. The Fengshan site, is it just any place? Dynasties have been worshipping there, if there are mysterious ancient trees, they must be extraordinary!"
Moreover, some messages were revealed, preparing to cultivate world-class experts among humans at the Fengshan site!
It is speculated that there might be traditions suitable for humans there.
