Chapter 660: An Insurmountable Obstacle in the Long River of Time

On the sword-fighting platform,

two Jin Dan cultivators were fighting to the death, their sword techniques exquisite and fraught with peril, while countless cultivators watched in a trance, none noticing the subtle shift in the middle-aged cultivator's eyes.

"Him!"

"How can he be here?!!"

The dashing middle-aged swordsman, True Person Fu Feng, felt a storm surge within his heart: "This shouldn't be happening!"

"Clearly, he wouldn't arrive here for over ten years; he shouldn't be here now!"

"Impossible!"

"What happened? I clearly did nothing major, the entire situation developed exactly as predicted, with no changes, yet, why did he appear early?!"

Unknowingly, True Person Fu Feng's sword path became disordered.

"Kill!"

The old man opposite him brightened his eyes, seized the opportunity to command his flying sword in a fierce attack, continuously gaining the initiative, driving the white-gold flying sword back repeatedly until it gradually showed signs of exhaustion.

"Damn it!"

"He's going to kill me!"

"I clearly never provoked him, yet every time he kills me!"

True Person Fu Feng ignored the old man before him, caring not at all, roaring with anger in his heart as a vague terror swept over his entire body: "No, I cannot sit and wait for death!"

"Report! Report immediately to a Nascent Soul of the Great Sun Qingse Jianzong!"

"No, that's not enough; the Liu Dao Sect, the Tie family, and the Dari Sect must report simultaneously; best to have dozens of Nascent Souls come at once, blocking and killing him layer by layer; I don't believe he can escape!"

"With evidence, they will believe it!"

True Person Fu Feng made a ruthless decision in his heart.

Immediately, his heart did not settle; instead, an ominous premonition arose even more strongly within him.

"No!"

"I don't know if this is the original body; will encirclement and killing work?"

True Person Fu Feng cursed angrily in his heart: "Damn it, are you a sword cultivator? Shame, the shame of a sword cultivator; you dare not even show your original body; why hasn't your sword heart and sword intent shattered yet!"

"Once the encirclement targets a clone, he will definitely suspect me; damn it, I hid so well, the layout was so exquisite, shifting through dozens or even a hundred layers of separation, yet how does he discover me and suspect me every single time?"

"Then, within at most a hundred years, he will find my original body and kill me."

"Even once, it took only ten years for him to drag me out and kill me!"

"Oh heavens!"

True Person Fu Feng roared in despair within his heart.

"If I provoke him, I die."

"If I don't provoke him, after several hundred years pass, I am still sought out and killed; moreover, the further along, the less I can resist; even at the same realm where I could surpass a realm, it was still useless!"

"How can such a person exist!"

True Person Fu Feng, tears in his eyes but unable to cry, recalled many tragic past events.

"I cannot confirm if this is the original body now; no, I cannot report yet, or I will die early."

"Plan for the long term, plan for the long term, confirm the original body..."

Having experienced much, True Person Fu Feng gradually calmed down: "For now, act as if I don't know him and ignore him."

"Getting close is useless."

"I once used an unparalleled beauty, but somehow, he didn't say a word and killed me the next moment; it was completely inexplicable!"

"This madman; it is best to stay far away."

"This person likes to act under the banner of righteousness and justice; I currently have no stains, so he probably won't come up and kill me."

"... Right?"

True Person Fu Feng hesitated somewhat.

The general principle is indeed correct.

But there are always many exceptions; he himself had once been one of those exceptions.

Whoosh!

"Ah!"

True Person Fu Feng screamed in agony.

While his mind was in chaos, the old man seized the combat opportunity, slashed off his left arm with a single sword strike, and revealed a look of ecstatic joy.

His Sun Spirit Sword Technique was performed with divine mastery; sword light filled the sky, the sword momentum grew stronger and stronger, the long-dead lake of his heart rippled, beginning to change because of the powerful enemy.

"You seek death!"

True Person Fu Feng, filled with raging anger, suddenly waved his arm.

"By the Power of Wind!"

Clanging sword sounds filled the sky, a wild wind suddenly rose; indeed, invisible sword qi winds blew in, instantly extinguishing the old man's Sun Spirit sword light, forcing his flying sword back again and again like a violent storm and towering waves, with no sign of stopping.

Mere few breaths later, the late-stage Jin Dan inner sect elder of the Great Sun Qingse Jianzong was blown into blood mist by the sword wind, leaving only a skeleton.

His life-bound flying sword clattered to the ground, devoid of life.

The sudden change in the situation stunned everyone.

"Sss... another one dead."

"The Great Sun Qingse Jianzong's face is about to fall; will a core disciple who has comprehended sword intent intervene... if even a core disciple dies, this will be quite a show."

"There's nothing to watch; as long as one kills a Great Sun Qingse Jianzong core disciple in a same-realm sword duel, no one will retaliate; at most, they will be expelled from Great Sun Qingse Jianzong territory for failing to comprehend sword intent and thus being unable to be accepted."

"Pity, it cannot be done; sword intent is too terrifying."

Jin Dan cultivators around debated loudly.

Gradually, everyone's gaze turned to a young swordsman in the corner of the Sword-Fighting Platform, a man with the wolf-like glance and hawk-like stare.

A core disciple of the Great Sun Qingse Jianzong!

True Person Blood Bone, who had comprehended Sword Intent; it was heard that his master was a True Person of Nascent Soul, whose combat power crushed Jin Dan cultivators of the same realm, making them not even on the same level.

"Fufeng, your spells are quite good."

True Person Blood Bone commented lightly, turned, and left, without holding any grudge.

"Spells?"

The Jin Dan cultivators around were stunned.

Jiang Ding's gaze swept over True Person Fufeng on the Sword-Fighting Platform, then he turned and left.

Memorize his appearance, aura, and favored spells, especially the foul stench brought by that intuition, and send it to the main body.

Yes, although this person uses a sword.

He is a spell cultivator.

And a very strong spell cultivator; his wind spells are used with such mastery that he can simulate sword techniques with spells, making the fake indistinguishable from the real.

As for True Person Blood Bone, at the peak Jin Dan realm, his Sword Intent seemed to be of the Blood Path.

In the memory of the Scorching Sun Sword Disciple, this person studied under Ran Gu Master Dinghai Zhenjun, the leader of the Great Sun Qingse Jianzong's family faction; within the Great Sun Qingse Jianzong, he is considered quite good, one of the Nascent Soul seeds, requiring attention.

Of course, this mainly refers to his master.

Ran Gu, Blood Bone; no matter how you look at it, they do not seem like good people; they could serve as backup targets for purging the sect's internal enemies to obtain the method for refining Scorching Sun Spirit Iron.

No rush, take it slow; after synthesizing information from multiple sources, simply choose the safest one.

Jiang Ding did not cast any concealment spells that would alert high-level cultivators; he simply wandered around the Great Sun Sword City as a Jin Dan Zhong Qi cultivator.

The sword path development in this Immortal City is quite excellent.

Sword-forging furnaces, Sword-Fighting Platforms, and Sword-Grinding Valley for refining flying swords are distributed everywhere.

Among them, the Sword Book Tower, which sells Gong Fa, requires not only Spirit Stones and Heavenly Treasures but also a certain level of sword skill to enter.

The Spring Pool Valley, where one cultivates both sword and dual arts, cannot be entered without a certain level of sword cultivation.

In the Alchemy Workshop, showing the sword skill certificate from the Sword-Fighting Platform grants a discount...

This Immortal City was born for the sword; having ability in this aspect makes everything convenient, one can even roam freely outside the law, and the tributes paid can be reduced, with success everywhere.

Conversely, it is impossible to move a single step, enduring various forms of discrimination.
