Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6296: Burning Thought Power

Jian Wushuang naturally wouldnʼt give up on the two of them and was determined to give it his all.

”With my divine thought, killing someone at the Golden Core stage is truly a waste!”

He raised one hand, concentrating a beam of light on his fingertip, which pointed directly at his own forehead.

”Open!”

Buzz!

A slit slowly expanded on his forehead, revealing the golden eye hidden there.

”Kill!”

Boom!

The eye on his forehead instantly unleashed a powerful aura.

This aura was invisible and colorless because it was a consciousness attack.

To use this method to attack an enemy, mere personal strength was not enough.

In this small world, even cultivators at the Divine Aspect level couldnʼt achieve this because cultivators here didnʼt need such advanced techniques.

For example, a Divine Aspect cultivator who wanted to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator only needed a flying sword or a palm strike to annihilate them. There was no need for a

consciousness attack, and crucially, they only knew ordinary consciousness pressure, unable to comprehend consciousness attacks.

This was a secret consciousness technique created by Jian Wushuang through countless thought powers.

First, consciousness pressure had to pose a threat to those of the same level. If it didnʼt threaten peers, there was no need to cultivate it.

Back when Jian Wushuang was a Dao Master, he became an invincible Dao Master and developed some innate methods for consciousness pressure. Later, he inadvertently created consciousness attacks, but in the outside world, he hadnʼt had the opportunity to use them. Because his strength had broken through too quickly, he hadnʼt needed this method. Unexpectedly, he used it in this small world, so his original creation wasnʼt in vain, even if killing someone at the Golden Core stage was quite wasteful.

Fortunately, the crisis was resolved.

The consciousness attack extinguished the demonic elderʼs spirit, leaving his body standing and performing its previous actions.

”Dead?” Jiang Shangʼs eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even Xiang Yang felt the same.

He was originally a Universe Master, and a Ninth Tribulation Universe Master at that.

But even he couldnʼt exceed his level with thought power, whereas Jian Wushuang could, and he could even burn thought power to kill that demonic elder.

Xiang Yang was shocked, thinking, ”He truly deserves to be a super strong Universe God!”

But he didnʼt know that Jian Wushuang hadnʼt yet undergone the divine tribulation.

”Donʼt just stand there, quickly clean up and deal with those corpses. At dawn, weʼll leave the city!” Jian Wushuangʼs voice carried a hint of fatigue.

Originally, he hadnʼt planned to leave the city, but now he needed to go out to avoid trouble. Inside Taiʼan City, things were somewhat restrictive, and he couldnʼt act freely.

So, they needed to leave the city.

In fact, the danger inside the city was less than outside.

Once outside, unless they ran very far, they would still encounter trouble. However, at that time, Jian Wushuang could expand his thought power to probe thirty miles around and even conceal their presence, making it difficult for others to detect them.

It was a pity about the countless treasures in Taiʼan City.

He couldnʼt manage to obtain them now.

Firstly, he had no money, and secondly, because of his identity.

If he could secure a valid identity, with his methods, he could acquire a batch of treasures to surpass the Golden Core stage within a year.

Then, becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could completely control the Eastern Land Cultivation Realm, directly plundering all heavenly treasures and quickly becoming the strongest in this world.

By then, his thought power might have reached a terrifying level, enough to shatter the void and ascend to the upper realm.

But now, he had to leave!

Jian Wushuang sighed and glanced at Xiang Yang again, feeling a bit annoyed.

Why did his little mistress abandon him?

If Xing Luo were guiding him, he could quickly restore all his strength, and breaking through this world wouldnʼt be a problem.

”Alas!”

He sighed slightly in his heart and was about to turn back into the room to rest when his brow furrowed.

A powerful aura was approaching the inn, stronger than the demonic elder, nearly at the level of Master Fengjue, definitely a super expert among Golden Core cultivators who could kill the demonic elder within three moves.

”Quick, hide! Thereʼs an unfamiliar presence approaching!”

Jian Wushuang gave a warning and then immediately withdrew his thought power, retreating into the room. Through the gap under the bed, he observed with his naked eye.

On the street.

A middle-aged man with a wine gourd hanging at his waist and a long sword slung across his shoulder was rapidly approaching the inn.

This person was the very presence Jian Wushuang had sensed earlier.

Yang Xiao!

He was a member of the Golden Crow Guards among the Immortal Slaying Guards, with six copper coins on his chest.

One copper coin signified the Copper Snake Guards.

Three copper coins indicated elite status, belonging to the Silver Snake Guards within the Immortal Slaying Guards. They usually patrolled the inner city in teams of three and could contend with Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Above the Silver Snake Guards were the Gold Snake Guards, each at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Further up were the Golden Crow Guards.

This was the highest-ranking patrol guard within the Immortal Slaying Guards.

Even within the Imperial City, there were only two teams of Golden Crow Guards, one in the

open and one in the shadows.

However, there were several scattered Golden Crow Guards within the palace.

They generally only patrolled the Imperial City and the palace.

Yang Xiaoʼs appearance in the outer city surprised the two Copper Snake Guards, and they

hadnʼt expected Yang Xiao to remain hidden in the outer city.

He had even secretly followed the group from the Holy Sect.

He pursued them all the way to the inn.

”The presence disappeared here!”

As soon as Yang Xiao landed, he alertly gripped his sword.

Although his strength was formidable, his thought power was still at the Foundation Establishment stage, making it impossible to detect the traces of the earlier battle.

He had to rely on his eyes to observe.

But this left a significant hidden danger for Jian Wushuang.

The gentle wind and rain.

The sound of raindrops hitting the innʼs door didnʼt produce the usual rustling noise but

instead made a pattering sound against the wood.

The rustling sound came from the rain hitting the paper covering the doors.

But now, that sound was absent.

As a Golden Crow Guard, Yang Xiaoʼs mind was extremely sharp, and his eyes turned toward

the innʼs doors.

The paper on a row of doors was already shattered, so the only sound he heard was raindrops

hitting the wooden doors.

With just one glance, he noticed the anomaly.

”This inn was normal during the day...”

Yang Xiaoʼs heart stirred, and he slowly moved forward.

Standing by the second-floor window, Jian Wushuang hadnʼt expected such a small detail to

expose him.

The paper had been shattered earlier by the actions of the Demonic Sect elder, which he had

forgotten.

”This is bad. It looks like we can only make a run for it!” Jian Wushuangʼs expression shifted as he prepared to signal Jiang Shang and Xiang Yang to sneak out the other side. Even if they encountered other Immortal Slaying Guards, he could avoid them one by one

using thought power, and if they couldnʼt get past the city gate, they would have to wait until

dawn.

There was no choice; Yang Xiao had already entered the inn.

The signs of battle on the ground would expose them, and even if they pretended to be asleep,

the entire inn would be captured by the Immortal Slaying Guards by morning.

”Letʼs go!”

Jian Wushuang wrapped the two in his thought power and quietly slipped out through the

window.

With his thought power, he could evade the patrols of the Foundation Establishment stage.
