Chapter 110: The City Lord's Humiliation, Heavenly Scorpion Sword Art 1
"Lord Jiang, that move was way too fierce! To actually generate sword qi from within your body!"
"This scorpion poison sword qi has become even more refined! If it hits someone, just thinking about it is terrifying!"
"The title of Sword King truly lives up to its reputation. Just this one move—there are barely a handful in all of Falling Sakura City who can do it!"
"That young man is probably scared stupid seeing this scene!"
"Hahaha! This is the price arrogance must pay!"
…
The soldiers were stunned by Jiang Xiong's technique. Normally, how could they ever witness a Sword King making a move?
Each of them showed admiration in their eyes—this was the bearing of a true expert.
"Hahaha…"
"Well? Are you scared now? Do you still want to fight me?"
Jiang Xiong laughed wildly, his words filled with mockery.
He deliberately revealed this move to shock Zhou Han.
Some so-called number one genius—wasn't he still frightened by him? The thought made Jiang Xiong feel immensely satisfied.
Zhou Han stood there motionless, not because he was scared, but because he was reflecting.
Using a move like this to show off really had great effect—he had just picked up another trick for showing off.
"Now that you've seen my strength, get lost! Falling Sakura City is not a place for you!"
Seeing that Zhou Han still didn't move, Jiang Xiong assumed he was feeling guilty and continued to ridicule him.
"Tch, your strength is nothing special! Have you been living like a dog all these years?"
"Other than showing off, can you do anything else?"
Although Jiang Xiong did have some ability, Zhou Han naturally wouldn't boost someone else's prestige at the cost of his own confidence.
He immediately retorted with disdain, a mocking smile on his face as he looked at Jiang Xiong like he was an idiot.
"You… you…"
"You insolent brat! I'll teach you a lesson today!"
Those words struck directly at Jiang Xiong's sore spot, instantly igniting his fury.
His talent had indeed always been poor. Seeing Zhou Han's mocking gaze felt like his hidden weakness had been completely exposed.
His anger surged, his expression becoming twisted and terrifying.
"You? Worthy of being respected as an elder? You're nothing but a despicable little man!"
"Good. Very good!"
"You've successfully angered me. Can you bear the consequences?"
Jiang Xiong's power erupted completely, like a ferocious beast awakening.
The Poison Scorpion Sword was unsheathed, black sword qi swirling through the air.
With a single thought from him, those sword energies would launch a devastating attack on Zhou Han.
A great battle was about to erupt!
"Enough talk. You're too full of bullshit. Come on—let me see what your so-called Sword King is really worth!"
Zhou Han also drew his Golden Serpent Sword, his gaze sharp and fierce.
"Didn't expect that young man to also use a sword. Using a sword in front of the Sword King—he's basically asking to die!"
"Isn't this like showing off axe skills in front of a master carpenter? What a joke!"
"I can already imagine his miserable end, hehe!"
Since Zhou Han had been using wind elements before, the moment he drew his Golden Serpent Sword, the soldiers burst into laughter.
Their contempt grew even stronger. Using a sword against a Sword King—there was absolutely no chance of winning.
"Hmph! Then I'll grant your wish—Poison Scorpion Heaven-Slaying Slash!"
Jiang Xiong slashed out with his sword. Dense black sword qi surged forth, forming a massive poisonous scorpion within the blade's glow.
Its eyes were blood-red, gleaming with a bloodthirsty light. Its body was shrouded in intense poison attributes.
The sheer toxicity was so powerful that even the air couldn't withstand its corrosive force—everything it passed turned into nothingness.
"Let's see how you stay arrogant now!"
Jiang Xiong's cold voice rang out. Though filled with anger, he still held back his strength.
He only used fifty percent of his power—he merely wanted to teach Zhou Han a lesson, not kill him.
And he didn't dare to have such thoughts either.
Now that the distance had closed, Jiang Xiong's attributes clearly appeared in Zhou Han's mind.

Attack: 23,000
Defense: 8,000
Weapon: Poison Scorpion Sword
Equipment: Sword King Set
Accessory: Soul-Stabilizing Jade
Cultivation Method: Heavenly Scorpion Sword Art
Zhou Han's eyes narrowed—the opponent's stats were indeed formidable.
HP, attack, and defense—all three exceeded his own.
His health alone had reached a staggering one million, more than ten times Zhou Han's.
This was the strongest opponent Zhou Han had faced so far, yet he felt no fear.
His equipment had many special effects—damage reduction, critical resistance, defense ignore, and more.
There was no time to think further. The giant scorpion had already swung its venomous tail toward him.
"Sword Qi Storm! Shatter it!"
Golden sword qi surged out, colliding with the massive scorpion.
Gold and black intertwined instantly. Like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, the black energy was completely devoured.
Jiang Xiong's attack collapsed instantly.
In their first clash of sword techniques, Zhou Han crushed him with absolute dominance.
"Not bad—you really do have some skill!"
"In that case, I can go all out!"
The surprise in Jiang Xiong's eyes flashed briefly before being replaced by endless battle intent.
Since Zhou Han was much stronger than expected, this time he decided to unleash his full strength without holding back.
"Heavenly Scorpion Sword Art—Endless Sword Radiance!"
With Jiang Xiong's roar, a terrifying scorpion manifested and exploded.
The entire space filled with countless sword lights.
Each streak of sword light transformed into a small poisonous scorpion—combining sharpness, agility, and lethal poison.
The moment this move appeared, everyone was shocked. The soldiers had never seen such a dazzling yet violent technique.
"Good. This must be your strongest move, right?"
"Then let's finish this quickly!"
Zhou Han remained calm. By examining Jiang Xiong's cultivation method, he knew this was the ultimate technique of the Heavenly Scorpion Sword Art.
Jiang Xiong intended to decide the battle in one move.
Zhou Han, however, preferred this style—it saved time.
"Your sword radiance is still too weak! Let me show you what true supremacy looks like!"
"Ultimate Technique—Myriad Swords Return to Origin! All swords under heaven submit to me!"
If it was a contest of sword techniques, then he would defeat him in the very domain he excelled in,
and leave behind a memory Jiang Xiong would never forget—
a shadow of fear that would haunt him forever.
As Zhou Han's voice fell, a terrifying aura burst from his body.
He stood there calmly, yet exuded an authority that made others unable to meet his gaze.
"Y-you… what kind of sword technique is this?"
Seeing the dense, endless sword shadows filling the sky, Jiang Xiong's scalp tingled with fear.
With his vast experience as a Sword King, this was the first time he had ever seen such a move.
And now he was the one being attacked—it filled him with dread.
