WWW.feiazw.COM But no one knew that this man, who appeared terrifyingly powerful, was silently suffering in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although each punch he landed dented the golden light and made the entire golden shield tremble, as if shattering its defense was merely a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet who knew that every time his limbs touched the golden light, they were met with a resilient rebounding force—and the harder he struck, the stronger the rebound became. His hands and feet already ached severely; he estimated that as soon as he disbanded his qi, they would immediately swell up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this golden shield was remarkably resilient: wherever his blows dented it, the surface instantly snapped back to its original shape the moment he withdrew, as if never struck at all. Even if he relentlessly hammered the same spot, it only maintained the indentation without sinking any deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the burly man continued his assault for a long while, yet the golden shield still trembled precariously, as if about to break at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, everyone’s thoughts had turned a full 180 degrees—they all realized the man could not break the shield; his immense strength could only cause it to shake, not destroy it outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, not only did Jia Tianlong abandon the idea of sending someone forward, but even the dwarf himself grew calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet due to his earlier humiliation, Jin Guang Shangren’s expression carried a tinge of furious shame, his gaze toward the man growing even more venomous. But because he had been continuously struck, his posture remained unsteady, causing his spells to repeatedly fail. So he simply stopped forming hand seals and instead fixed his eyes tightly on the opponent, muttering in a dialect incomprehensible to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man, however, acted as if he heard none of this, continuing his frenzied assault on the golden shield—until everyone assumed he would not stop until he collapsed from exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom! Boom! Thud!” After unleashing his full strength in two punches and one kick, the man suddenly spun around and bolted backward, his massive frame moving with startling speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s sudden move startled the onlookers, followed by a burst of uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Guang Shangren also froze in surprise, then erupted in rage. He quickly sat cross-legged, placed the black box horizontally on his knees, and began chanting. His fingers rose to his chest, arranged in an odd posture, trembling with great effort—as if each finger bore a thousand catties of weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the burly man was only a few steps away from the Qi Xuan Sect’s main formation, about to rejoin his comrades. Suddenly, a thunderous shout of “Rise!” came from behind. He saw Wang Juechu and the others’ faces turn pale—they all shouted in unison, “Watch out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s heart jolted. He instantly twisted his body to the left and glanced sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grayish glow, swift as lightning, flashed past his shoulder, where he had just stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s heart tightened, but then eased—he had dodged the hidden projectile. Now he could reunite with his two senior brothers and be safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this thought finished forming, he suddenly felt searing pain in his right arm. He instinctively looked down—but before he could see anything, another wave of cries erupted, including the voices of his two brothers, filled with panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man hesitated, bewildered. Then, a flash of light appeared before his eyes—a gray streak pierced straight through his chest, unmistakably the same projectile he had just dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was stunned and enraged, wanting to shout something—but his body collapsed with a thud to the ground. Only then did he realize his right arm had been severed cleanly at the shoulder, blood gushing out steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?” The man, filled with unanswered questions and bitter resentment, went black in the eyes and lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man never understood what had just occurred before he died—but the onlookers from the Wild Wolf Gang and the Qi Xuan Sect saw everything clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They witnessed that after the dwarf finished his hand seals and incantation, the shout of “Rise!” caused a slender gray streak to shoot out from the black box. It circled once above his head, then shot straight toward the man, guided by his pointing finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the man had skillfully twisted aside to avoid the initial thrust through his chest, the gray light had grazed his shoulder—and his arm silently slipped off. Clearly, the gray light was so razor-sharp that the man had not even felt the severance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came an even more shocking event: after being dodged, the gray streak followed the dwarf’s finger flick, suddenly reversing direction at a distance of several feet past the man, and hurtled back at him—slaying the utterly defenseless man with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned into silence, their gazes instinctively fixed on the gray glow now circling above the dwarf’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word “flying sword” involuntarily surfaced in most minds. Though these people knew nothing of cultivators, they had all heard many legends about flying swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gray streak was nearly identical to the flying swords used by sword immortals in legend—indistinguishable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this unassuming dwarf truly be a legendary sword immortal? Most people now looked at Jin Guang Shangren with awe—for the title of “sword immortal” still struck fear into many mortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Guang Shangren now stood tall and haughty, flaunting his control over the gray glow, making it soar and dart above his head like a long gray serpent, drawing gasps from the Wild Wolf Gang, while the Qi Xuan Sect fell into deathly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jia Tianlong’s side had been emboldened by the sword immortal’s aid, and the Qi Xuan Sect had been thrown into confusion and lost much of their fighting spirit due to this surprise, then Han Li was the only person present whose heart surged with wild joy upon seeing the gray glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For he realized that the incantation and hand seals Jin Guang Shangren used to control the gray light were identical to those of his own “Object Manipulation Technique.” Though he did not know whether the gray streak was truly a flying sword, he was certain—this technique was meant precisely for such an object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Han Li’s mind was filled with thoughts of killing the man and seizing the treasure. Clearly, his interest in cultivators was growing ever stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WWW.feiazw.COM\u003C\u002Fp>",1069,"2026-06-20T21:12:45.940Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d377be2cb1d3dea0c1097887b360a138efa12b00eca20882f9e00e179b6f0cf1","a-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-chapter-91","a-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-chapter-89",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-cover.jpg"]
