The skinny man's face sank even more when he heard Jianchen's provocative words. Cold killing intent had already appeared in his eyes.
Ling Hougong looked at Jianchen. Although Jianchen's comprehension of laws had reached the level of an Overgod, his personal cultivation was just too weak.
On the other hand, both the skinny man's cultivation and comprehension of laws had reached the level of an Overgod. Even though Jianchen had comprehended the Laws of the Sword, one of the laws with the greatest offensive power, Ling Hougong still did not believe that Jianchen was the skinny man's opponent.
However, Ling Hougong could not say anything more when he saw how confident Jianchen was. He retreated to one side with his sword. He wanted to see just how Jianchen would be able to deal with the skinny man without fear.
Master Chanlong and the several dozen Overgods gathered there all remained silent. However, without any exception, all of their gazes were fixed on Jianchen. Their gazes were rather sharp.
Many people believed that Jianchen's comprehension of laws was far greater than his cultivation because he had obtained some great fortuitous encounter in the Divine King's dwelling. However, they did not want to stand out, so they were more than happy to let the skinny man move against Jianchen.
Unless they had no other choice, they really did not want to offend an Overgod so easily, especially one who had comprehended the Laws of the Sword, one of the laws with the greatest offensive power.
Of course, there was another reason why they did not want to take action, which was that nothing that could interest them had appeared. Once something that would be of great help to them appeared, they would even be willing to risk their lives against people who were slightly more powerful than them, let alone those who had comprehended the Laws of the Sword.
At the very back of the group, the young man with a fan and the burly man called uncle Qin made their way into the Divine King's dwelling at a steady pace like they were taking a stroll. The young man looked around along the way as if he was interested in everything there.
"Is this the Divine King Duanmu's abode? But I don't look like much, "the young man with a folding fan said in disappointment as he looked around.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything. Instead, he cast his gaze into the depths of the Immortal's Cave and onto Jianchen. His previously ordinary eyes suddenly began to shine brightly.
"He has comprehended laws as an Overgod, but his cultivation is only equivalent to a Deity. What impressive talent this person has. However, his energy seems rather strange. It actually makes me feel blurry. He doesn't seem to practise a regular cultivation method," uncle Qin murmured.
"Uncle Qin, are you talking about that person called Jianchen? Even you say that his talent is amazing. It seems that this person does have some ability. I wonder how many years he has been cultivating. "The young man gently fanned himself and said casually.
Uncle Qin's expression became somewhat serious.
However, in the end, he could not help but sigh in amazement, "Young master, I feel like this person hasn't even cultivated for a thousand years. This is the first time I, Qin Zheng, have seen talent like this."
The young man paused when he heard that. He stared at uncle Qin in surprise and said in disbelief, "What! He hasn't even cultivated for a thousand years? Doesn't that mean his talent is even greater than mine? Uncle Qin, are you sure you're not seeing things? "
"There's such a great difference in cultivation between us, so I can see through many things with a single glance. Of course I'm not seeing things. He has indeed cultivated for an even shorter period of time than you, young master, "said Qin Zheng.
Joy immediately appeared on the young man's face. He said, "I heard him say that he's an independent cultivator who doesn't belong to any sect. Uncle Qin, we must rope him in. It's best if he joins our clan."
Uncle Qin's eyes shone brighter and brighter. He immediately expanded the senses of his soul, enveloping all the regions in the Divine King's dwelling that no longer had formations. Uncle Qin's soul naturally enveloped the Sword Comprehension Building where Jianchen had comprehended the Way of the Sword earlier.
However, none of the several dozen Overgods present sensed uncle Qin's presence at all. None of them sensed it, including the late Overgods.
In just a single moment, uncle Qin's senses of his soul had discovered that Jianchen and the others had remained in the Sword Comprehension Building for quite some time. He immediately became even happier and said, "Looks like he comprehended the Way of the Sword in the Sword Comprehension Building. The marks left behind by Duanmu in the Sword Comprehension Building aren't some impressive legacy, so it won't be easy to benefit from them. However, this person called Jianchen can use these marks to break through to Overgod. What great comprehension abilities. If we can really rope him in, it'll be a great merit. "
"Since we want to rope him in, why don't we hurry up? Jianchen just happens to be in trouble. It's a great opportunity for us," the young man said rather eagerly.
"There's no hurry, there's no hurry. We can use this opportunity to see his strength," said Qin Zheng.
On the other side, the skinny, middle-aged man had already taken action. He wielded his spear, and the Laws of Wood condensed in the surroundings. He directly stabbed towards Jianchen with the power of laws.
The skinny man did not hold back at all. His gaze was cold as he directly stabbed towards Jianchen's forehead, aiming for his vital point.
A cold light flashed through Jianchen's eyes the moment the skinny man stabbed out. With a thought, two finger-sized strands of Profound Sword Qi appeared. Powerful sword Qi permeated the surroundings, immediately causing the expressions of over half of the Overgods present to change. Even the eyes of the late Overgods narrowed suddenly.
At that moment, everyone's expressions changed. All of their gazes were gathered on Jianchen, or more accurately, they were gathered on the two strands of Profound Sword Qi above Jianchen's head. All of them felt threatened by the two strands of Profound Sword Qi. The weaker they were, the greater the sense of threat they felt.
The skinny, middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, his arm trembled, and he stabbed out with even more power.
Swish!
With a flash of silver light, one of the two strands of Profound Sword Qi above Jianchen's head had already shot out. It moved extremely quickly, surpassing the speed of lightning. It collided with the skinny man's spear in a single instance.
Boom!
A deafening boom erupted as the two of them clashed. The skinny middle-aged man only felt a tremendous force, which knocked his spear aside. His Laws of Wood were directly obliterated by the extremely sharp sword Qi.
The Profound Sword Qi easily neutralized the attack.
That was not all. After destroying the man's attack, the Profound Sword Qi did not weaken at all. It continued to surge into the sky, radiating with a terrifying sword Qi that shocked all the Overgods present. It directly shot towards the skinny, middle-aged man's forehead under his shocked gaze.
"No!" The skinny, middle-aged man roared out in fear. He was actually unable to dodge the incoming Profound Sword Qi at all. All he could do was watch helplessly as the Profound Sword Qi rapidly enlarged in his eyes and approached his forehead.
Silently, the Profound Sword Qi shot through the skinny, middle-aged man's forehead and emerged from the back of his head.
The skinny middle-aged man's eyes became stunned. There was still some lingering fear in his eyes. Under the attack of the Profound Sword Qi, his soul failed to escape in time, resulting in the destruction of his soul.
