On the streets of Shuangfeng City, Liu Zhanggui sat by the roadside with a frown, watching several cultivators fighting in the sky, unsure whether to feel happy or angry.
A customer had come today and bought a pill worth one million spirit stones from him but only paid fifty thousand, claiming that Liu Zhanggui's pill was fake. Liu Zhanggui argued with him for a while, but to his surprise, the man was very familiar with pills and pointed out several flaws in Liu Zhanggui's product, leaving him speechless.
There were indeed genuine pills available in the market, but at different prices. In order to make more profit, Liu Zhanggui had made some minor alterations, not expecting to be discovered. Even if the deal fell through, he thought it would be fine. However, the man berated Liu Zhanggui harshly, causing him to lose face. In a fit of anger, Liu Zhanggui used his connections to call in the Deputy City Lord, but the man continued to cause trouble.
Watching the commotion with Liu Zhanggui was another cultivator who looked like he was asking for a beating. He had a piece of wild grass in his mouth and chatted with Liu Zhanggui while observing the fight.
"Liu Zhanggui, who do you think will win?"
"Of course, it will be the Deputy City Lord; otherwise, how will I get my spirit stones back?"
"I think Vice Leader might lose. Did you see how he walks? He seems a bit too carefree."
"The Vice Leader is not going to lose; why don't you go help him?"
"Well, I'll wait until he's almost done for; heroes always show up at the last moment."
The Deputy City Lord of Shuangfeng City was named Huang He, an experienced Divine Separation Late Stage cultivator. When he arrived and saw that the troublemaker named Chen Erhuo was also at the Divine Separation Late Stage, they quickly exchanged words before starting to fight.
Huang He brought four others with him, all skilled Divine Separation Late Stage cultivators. These five had been idling around in Shuangfeng City and were excited to finally have some action; they grabbed their weapons and fought fiercely.
However, Chen Erhuo dared to cause trouble for a reason; he was quite capable and managed to hold his own against Huang He’s group despite being outnumbered five to one. One of Huang He's subordinates sensed that things were going poorly and hurried back to report to Silverbeard.
By the time Silverbeard arrived, Huang He was already at a disadvantage and was about to be beaten into a pulp within ten moves. Seeing this situation unfold, Silverbeard angrily shouted, "How dare you come to Shuangfeng City to cause trouble! Do you think cultivating immortality means you can live forever?"
Noticing that Chen Erhuo's strength wasn't too shabby either, Silverbeard took out his Supreme Treasure Sword and swung it towards him.
Seeing Silverbeard arrive made Chen Erhuo feel intimidated before even engaging in battle; he drew his sword to block but was helpless against the significant difference in strength and was sent flying by Silverbeard's strike.
Huang He threw down the noodles in front of the city lord, furious and embarrassed. He led four others to chase after Chen Erhuo, ready to beat a drowning dog. To everyone's surprise, Chen Erhuo flipped twice in the sky but seemed largely unscathed. He swayed and flew towards the city gates with astonishing speed.
The five of them shouted as they chased after him, while Silverbeard lightly exclaimed and also rushed out of the city.
Liu Zhanggui stretched his neck to take a look but did not dare to follow. The annoying cultivator he had been chatting with patted his backside and eagerly followed Silverbeard's direction.
This gleeful cultivator was none other than Xu Feng in disguise. His intention for coming to Shuangfeng City was to catch Silverbeard off guard and eliminate him first; the decisive battle five years later was merely a ruse.
Xu Feng had initially come to Shuangfeng City to stir up some trouble and lure Silverbeard out. However, due to a twist of fate, Chen Erhuo inadvertently helped by provoking Silverbeard first.
It seemed that Chen Erhuo had been injured by Silverbeard's sword strike. Although he was fast enough to shake off Huang He and his group, he had to stop and rest every few hundred miles. As a result, Huang He and his group were getting closer, while Silverbeard simply followed behind, enjoying the game of cat and mouse.
As they hid and sought shelter, night fell.
Seeing darkness descend, a barely noticeable cold smile appeared at the corner of Silverbeard's mouth.
“He's here; we've surrounded him! Damn it, let's see where you can run.”
Huang He and his group completely surrounded a stone mountain that spanned less than three miles. From their elevated position, they could see everything clearly.
“Come out and die; otherwise, don't blame me for chopping you up to feed the dogs.”
A figure flickered in front of a stone cave, and Chen Erhuo really stepped out to face his death.
As the five surrounded him and were about to strike, Chen Erhuo said, “You've chased me all day; you should take a break.”
A cold light flashed in Chen Erhuo's eyes as if he had transformed into another person, his strength surging dramatically.
“You... you are... Great Achievement...” Huang He stammered in shock.
Chen Erhuo let out a cold snort, and the sword in his hand drew a brilliant arc of light. After the light faded, Huang He and his five companions collapsed to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, he had slain five Divine Separation Late Stage cultivators! This Chen Erhuo was actually a Great Perfection Stage practitioner.
Silverbeard showed no surprise, as if he had known all along. Seeing Huang He’s group meet such a gruesome end, he remained unmoved.
“Just as I thought, it’s you,” Silverbeard said coldly.
Chen Erhuo's sword gleamed brightly. “Now that you know it’s me, why aren’t you fleeing?”
Silverbeard replied, “Why should I run? You may have killed Qianlongzi, but that doesn’t mean you can kill me.”
Chen Erhuo asked, “So you know about that?”
“Of course I do. Do you think anyone dares to cause trouble in my Shuangfeng City?”
Xu Feng watched from a distance and was startled by Silverbeard's words. That Chen Erhuo was indeed the black-clad figure who had slain Qianlongzi at Cat Ear Mountain.
The Sword Formation expert that Wuwei Academy had been desperately pursuing turned out to be Chen Erhuo!
With the strength to kill Great Perfection Stage experts, Chen Erhuo stood before Silverbeard, who showed no signs of retreat. Had Silverbeard’s strength advanced?
Chen Erhuo glanced in Xu Feng's direction and said, “Since you’re here, come out.”
Xu Feng knew he couldn’t hide from the gaze of a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator. He straightened his clothes and prepared to step out from his hiding place.
Not far away, an Eagle-Nosed Cultivator emerged from the shadows. The Eagle-Nosed Cultivator glanced at Xu Feng's position and let out a disdainful sneer.
“Not Returning Child, is there someone else behind you?” Silverbeard asked.
Eagle-Nosed Cultivator Not Returning Child said, "It's just a shrimp, no need to pay attention to him." In his eyes, Xu Feng, a Mid Stage of Spirit Separation cultivator, was not worth mentioning; he probably was just a casual cultivator who came to watch the excitement.
Xu Feng sensed something was wrong. Two of the six disciples from Wuwei Academy had come down, clearly prepared in advance. Chen Erhuo had lured the snake out of its hole, but unexpectedly, Silverbeard was even more cunning and had already invited Not Returning Child to lie in wait in the shadows. Not only did Ming Yi remain hidden, but they also fell into the trap, successfully blocking Chen Erhuo.
Having lost Qianlongzi and severely injured Qing Yuanzi, Wuwei Academy had meticulously arranged this operation and finally tracked down the whereabouts of the black-clad figures.
With a two-to-one advantage, Wuwei Academy was well-prepared. Even though Chen Erhuo had his Sword Formation, he would still be at a disadvantage.
Chen Erhuo frowned slightly, drew his sword, and flew up, turning to escape. This time it was a real escape, not a feigned one...
"Still trying to run!" Not Returning Child was already prepared. As soon as Chen Erhuo moved, Not Returning Child unleashed a magical artifact that spread across the sky and transformed into a mass of Yellow Sand, completely enveloping Chen Erhuo.
"Slash!" While in the sky, Chen Erhuo suddenly shot out thirteen Flying Swords from his body. The swords spun and slashed through most of the surrounding Yellow Sand.
The pervasive Yellow Sand, taken away by the Supreme Flying Sword, still left some that fell onto Chen Erhuo.
With a sizzling sound, when those Yellow Sand touched Chen Erhuo, they emitted an intense heat that burned through his Daoist robe and seeped into his body.
As Chen Erhuo landed on the ground, his mouth twitched.
Not Returning Child scoffed, "To deal with you, the academy specially refined Fire Sand. No matter how strong your Sword Formation is, you can't block the endless Yellow Sand. As long as one grain enters your body, unless an elder from Shennong Valley intervenes, you will undoubtedly die."
Silverbeard said, "I don't think you need to trouble anyone else; I'll send you on your way right now." With a flash of sword light, Silverbeard attacked.
Not Returning Child also leaped into the air, striking down like an eagle from above.
With gritted teeth, Chen Erhuo activated his Sword Formation once more. Thirteen Flying Swords shot towards Not Returning Child, completely ignoring the attack from Silverbeard.
This was a desperate move; Chen Erhuo had made up his mind to take Not Returning Child's life at all costs.
However, Chen Erhuo was struck by Fire Sand and severely injured. This round of Sword Formation was at its weakest, its power greatly diminished.
Silverbeard did not dare to be careless; he turned his long sword and merged with Not Returning Child.
A clash of metal echoed as twelve of Chen Erhuo's thirteen Flying Swords were knocked down, leaving only one that struck Not Returning Child in the thigh, pinning him to the ground.
Chen Erhuo delivered his final blow but could no longer withstand his internal injuries. His vision darkened, and he fainted.
Not Returning Child lay on the ground, crying out in pain and cursing incessantly. If Chen Erhuo had not been injured, that strike would have surely cost him his life.
Silverbeard approached and pulled the sword from Not Returning Child's leg, saying, "Brother, you’ve suffered."
Not Returning Child let out a cry of agony and cursed, "Be gentle!"
"Oh." Silverbeard casually pushed the sword back into Not Returning Child's leg... which was impossible.
Not Returning Child staggered to his feet and said, "Let's see what he has on him. We can split it up and then hand him over to the academy."
"You truly understand," they exchanged wicked smiles; such benefits should not be passed up.
Silverbeard took the treasured sword and walked toward Chen Erhuo, while Not Returning Child retrieved some medicine to tend to his leg wound.
Just as Silverbeard approached Chen Erhuo, the night sky suddenly blazed with light as forty Flying Swords came raining down. These forty Flying Swords were chaotic and disorganized; it was impossible to tell where they had come from or where they were headed... it seemed they were aimed at them.
Not Returning Child's eyes widened in shock, his mouth forming an "O" shape. His hands were still pressing on his leg wound, completely unprepared.
Silverbeard was no better off; he was contemplating how many treasures Chen Erhuo might have on him and how he could take more for himself while leaving less for Not Returning Child. Suddenly, with forty Flying Swords descending upon them, Silverbeard barely had time to draw his treasured sword and swing it around.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Silverbeard managed to deflect four of the Flying Swords, but the rest... both Silverbeard and Not Returning Child ended up with eighteen Supreme Treasure Swords embedded in their bodies each, standing there dazed like two spiked clubs.
Xu Feng walked up to Silverbeard, recalling his former appearance, and said, "Silverbeard, I will take your life within a hundred years. I am not lying; I am an honest child."
"You... Xu..." Silverbeard struggled to extend a finger, opened his mouth, and blood gushed out. There was too much unwillingness in his eyes, but he could not reclaim his life.
Not Returning Child had long since died and did not even know who had killed him.
Xu Feng sheathed his sword, and the two became a pile of mud.
"Sorry about that." Xu Feng was not so polite; he extracted the two Yuan Yings and pressed them into a bottle.
The Yuan Ying at the Great Perfection Stage was exceptionally powerful, able to move freely in daylight without fear of sunlight. Just based on the power of the Yuan Ying, it could defeat cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage.
The strength of the Nascent Soul Stage was naturally insignificant in front of Xu Feng, who captured the two Yuan Yings as easily as catching chickens and forcibly sealed them.
After taking the two Yuan Yings and rings, Xu Feng did not have time to pick up the two Supreme Treasure Swords. He picked up Chen Erhuo and spread his Wings of the Strange Dragon, disappearing into the night sky.
