Legend of Swordsman

He didn’t ask too many questions and summoned the artifact, Phantom Void.

Ripping through spacetime, he began to traverse.

Sensing Elder Blu’s aura, he realized the other had become much stronger.

After becoming a demigod early on, his divine power was actually no weaker than Wu Zuo’s.

No wonder Danbao had asked Elder Blu to come along.

Unfortunately, there was no need for that.

Jian Wushuang slightly bowed his head, and his speed increased once again.

In no time, he arrived at Northern Town.

After not seeing it for a hundred thousand years, the place had changed significantly.

Without the corrupt forces, there were far fewer cultivators.

Now, the town was entirely populated by rogue cultivators.

Any threats were promptly dealt with by Wu Li.

Swish!

Upon entering the town, Wu Li and Divine Wood King found them.

“I say, you guys really know how to keep time!” Wu Li said with a light smile. “There’s still a quarter of an hour until the time predicted by the Prophet. The metal lifeforms should be entering the town by now!”

“Did you clear out the town just to welcome the metal lifeforms?”

With so few cultivators in the town, any strange ones would be immediately noticeable.

“Something like that,” Wu Li replied, not elaborating. “Our targets are two metal lifeforms. Let’s split up and search. When you find them, unleash a burst of divine power immediately. The town isn’t that big, we can converge in an instant!”

“No problem!”

As soon as they gathered, they dispersed again.

Jian Wushuang headed towards the northern part of the town.

Four directions, five areas.

With six people, they had more than enough coverage.

Metal lifeforms emitted no aura.

They could only be spotted with the naked eye.

A bit troublesome.

In fact, waiting at home wasn’t a bad idea.

Jian Wushuang was quite relaxed, even taking the opportunity to observe Northern Town.

The town’s layout was meticulous.

It must have been the handiwork of Divine Wood King, who had also been an ancestor of a sect.

The entire Northern Town was divided into core, inner, and outer areas.

The outer area could be freely roamed.

The inner area required a token, issued by the City Lord’s Mansion; without it, entry was impossible.

The core area was even more solemn.

Jian Wushuang even sensed his own residence there.

It housed countless grand halls, a total of one hundred thousand.

Only those of the Ninth Tribulation were eligible to reside there.

Currently, there were only five positions filled.

Clearly, they were prepared for the Ninth Tribulation of the Northern Spacetime.

At the center of the hundred thousand grand halls was the Qian Kun Hall, a place for discussions.

Even the City Lord’s Mansion was in the outer area and not placed in the core.

Divine Wood King had truly put a lot of thought into this.

While his mind was observing Northern Town, he sensed a sudden drop in aura.

“Strange!”

Jian Wushuang furrowed his brows, and with a surge of divine power, he rushed towards that direction.

A rapid drop in divine power could only mean one thing.

Someone was injured.

But there was no commotion in the town.

How could someone be injured without a fight?

And at such a critical moment.

He had to take a look.

Without notifying the others, he went alone to investigate.

Swish!

“Hmm?” His eyes flickered.

The scene before him startled him.

An emaciated elder, wearing a high hat, was holding Divine Wood King with one hand.

His hand was gripping Divine Wood King’s throat.

His other hand had pierced through Divine Wood King’s chest.

“Stop!” Jian Wushuang roared, flying forward and kicking the emaciated elder.

Beside the emaciated elder was a fat man.

Seeing Jian Wushuang charging forward, the fat man’s eyes lit up. He pulled out a long needle and stabbed it directly into Jian Wushuang.

The pain didn’t stop Jian Wushuang. He still managed to kick the emaciated elder far away, crashing into several buildings.

The commotion attracted the attention of the others, who quickly rushed over.

After kicking away the emaciated elder, Divine Wood King was finally freed.

His face showed fear.

He had just been searching the area when he encountered two cultivators with no aura and went to question them.

Unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly ambushed him. The fat man gave him an injection, and then his divine body began to feel weak and powerless.

The old man took the opportunity to grab his neck and continuously absorb his divine power.

Under the dual assault, his divine body was pierced through once again.

This directly inflicted serious injuries on him.

He had now lost the ability to fight.

“Jian Wushuang, be careful of that fat man!” The Divine Wood King had a wary look in his eyes, not realizing that Jian Wushuang had also been hit.

However, Jian Wushuang’s reaction was not as obvious.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me!”

Jian Wushuang gathered a large amount of life force and injected it into the Divine Wood King’s body.

At this stage, his life force had not increased.

But he himself had grown much stronger, and the Life force he just gave was almost all he had.

If he got injured later, he wouldn’t be able to recover.

But he was confident he wouldn’t get hurt.

Whoosh!

The withered old man turned over from the shattered rubble and appeared before the crowd once more.

At this time, Hui Qing and others also arrived. Seeing the strange-looking old man and the fat man in front of them, they asked, “Are you metallic life forms?”

“Jian Wushuang!”

The withered old man didn’t answer Hui Qing’s question. Instead, he looked at Jian Wushuang and coldly said, “Was it you who killed the Miluo Light Brain?”

“That’s right!” Jian Wushuang clenched his fist. Just now, he hadn’t even used his Super Eternal Ancient Transformation and had only used 40 million units of divine power to kick the opponent away.

He felt that metallic life forms weren’t that impressive.

At this moment, he felt very relaxed.

But that injection just now made him feel a bit uneasy.

“Old man, how about changing the location?” Wu Li’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he pointed outside the city and said, “Do you dare to fight me outside?”

“My target is Jian Wushuang; it has nothing to do with you!” The withered old man kept his eyes fixed on Jian Wushuang, ignoring everyone else.

Jian Wushuang stepped forward and said coldly, “Then let’s fight outside!”

After speaking, he soared into the sky.

He looked down and gestured to the metallic life form to follow.

Seeing his opponent rise, he flew towards the lake outside the city.

The lake had many small islands.

He randomly chose an uninhabited island and stopped there.

Seeing the crowd following behind, he slowly descended.

Boom!

His feet slammed into the ground, and he flexed his wrists.

Swish!

The metallic life form and Wu Zuo and the others also landed one by one.

“Enough talk, let’s get started!”

Jian Wushuang couldn’t wait any longer. For some reason, his fighting spirit was somewhat diminished. Though he spoke with high fighting intent, he felt a bit flustered and anxious inside.

He wanted a quick fight.

The metallic life form smiled at this.

They didn’t want to waste time either.

“Lord Galo, please leave Jian Wushuang to me!” The fat man bowed respectfully to the withered Lord Galo.

“Alright, but the others are mine!”

The withered old man was a bit dissatisfied with the fat man taking Jian Wushuang, but he still agreed.

Watching them divide the opponents, Wu Zuo was very displeased and coldly shouted, “Old man, just you wait!”

“They are all mine!” Jian Wushuang pointed at the fat and thin duo and said, “Let’s start quickly!”
