Under the night sky, on a hillside south of Haijing, there was no one around. In the dark forest, there was a gloomy atmosphere.
In such an environment, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the air. A man in a black robe had appeared on the hillside.
It was as if he had appeared out of thin air. It was impossible to see how he had appeared or how he had arrived there.
The man in the black robe was the leader of the Four Royal Generals of the Shadow Corps, the Sky Snake King, Zuo Zhicheng.
He stood quietly on the hillside. His entire body seemed to be shrouded in shadows, as if he had completely blended into the darkness.
He stood there quietly for a few minutes. Then, he turned his head slightly, revealing a hint of surprise. In the next moment, there seemed to be a silver light flashing in the sky. In the blink of an eye, a shuttle-shaped flying sword had arrived in front of him.
The flying sword was silver in color. There was no hilt on either side of the sword. Its speed was especially fast. It seemed to be far away in the sky a moment ago, but in the next moment, it was right in front of Zuo Zhicheng. It was almost impossible to see it clearly.
After a soft sound of surprise, the flying sword instantly pierced through Zuo Zhicheng's body. However, Zuo Zhicheng's body was like a shadow that had been shattered into countless light shadows. In a flash, he appeared more than ten meters away.
His Shadow Flash was getting more and more proficient.
The flying sword drew a graceful arc in the air. In the next moment, it was already stabbing towards Zuo Zhicheng. However, this time, the sword suddenly shook and its speed almost doubled. From afar, it looked as if there were silver lasers surging in the air. They turned into a sword net and enveloped Zuo Zhicheng.
Zuo Zhicheng displayed his unparalleled speed and agility in the face of this extremely fast flying sword attack.
Fang Xingjian was like a specter floating in the night sky, shuttling back and forth between the net of swords with extreme precision. His bones and muscles seemed to have lost the restrictions of their joints.
Sometimes, even if they were grazed by the flying swords, they would directly turn into shadow fragments. When they reappeared, they were already outside the sword net.
One man and one sword fought as they walked. In the blink of an eye, they had already run a distance of one or two kilometers toward the forest in the west.
Zuo Zhicheng used Shadow Realm Flash to dodge his opponent's attack. This time, however, he did not run away. Instead, he stretched out his hand, and with a flash of light, the Divine Light Sword was activated. A tree beside him was directly cut in half.
Then, Zuo Zhicheng exhaled and slapped the tree trunk with his palm. The tree trunk floated up a few meters and was caught by Zuo Zhicheng with both hands.
Facing the oncoming flying sword, Zuo Zhicheng directly pushed the thick tree trunk towards the flying sword with a series of loud rumbling sounds. It was as if a huge dragon had emerged from the tree trunk and swept towards the flying sword.
Just as the flying sword was about to hit the tree trunk, a soft hum was heard from the flying sword. With this soft hum, the flying sword's entire body flickered with a hazy light.
The flying sword cut through the tree trunk as easily as a table knife cutting through butter. There was almost no sound at all. It went straight through the tree trunk and pierced towards Zuo Zhicheng's arm.
Zuo Zhicheng's hands shook, and the tree trunk could not withstand the huge force between his hands. In an instant, it exploded like a bomb, sending sawdust everywhere. The flying sword was hindered by the explosion and paused for a moment. When it pierced forward again, Zuo Zhicheng had already stepped lightly and flew backwards.
'Its speed is slightly faster than when I ran at full speed.'
'Its hardness and sharpness … are hard to estimate.'
Zuo Zhicheng recalled the attack on the tree trunk. He originally wanted to use the tree trunk's material and the pressure from his hands to pretend to attack. In fact, he wanted to clamp down on the flying sword. However, the flying sword's sharpness was far beyond his imagination. The tree trunk was almost as brittle as tofu in front of it.
However, Zuo Zhicheng knew that it was not entirely a problem with the sword's material. His left eye provided him with a strong visual ability, allowing him to see some clues on the flying sword.
'There's a buzzing sound in the air. The flying sword is vibrating.'
'That vibration … is very unusual.'
Yes, the vibration of the flying sword reminded him of the Murasama Blade that he had used in his previous life. Of course, the most important thing was that it made him feel a very dangerous aura.
If that was really the case, then this flying sword was not something that he could use any part of his body to block.
Therefore, after a series of tests, Zuo Zhicheng turned around and completely blended into the darkness. His appearance could no longer be seen.
However, the person controlling the flying sword was obviously a Daoist cultivator. Although he could not see Zuo Zhicheng's exact figure, he could use his psionic vision to determine the position of the Innate Qi.
The flying sword made a circle in the air and in the next moment, it chased after Zuo Zhicheng with a whoosh.
In the forest, only streaks of silver light could be seen flashing past. Wherever it went, century-old trees would be chopped into pieces and huge rocks would be chopped apart. There were even sword marks left on the ground.
As for Zuo Zhicheng, his entire body could no longer be seen. Only a black shadow could be seen constantly changing its position in the forest, vaguely escaping towards the west.
With a whoosh, when Zuo Zhicheng finally passed through a patch of grass, the flying sword stopped spinning and did not pursue him.
In the open space in front of Zuo Zhicheng, there were a total of three people, two men and one woman. One of them was wearing a Daoist robe and carrying a sword case on his back. Naturally, it was Li Xunyi who was controlling the flying sword.
He hooked his finger and the flying sword in the sky returned to its scabbard with a whoosh.
He smiled at Zuo Zhicheng and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Not only have you become famous, but your skills have also improved a lot."
"You too." Zuo Zhicheng was telling the truth. Li Xunyi's strength had indeed improved a lot. The Murasama Blade that the flying sword had used just now was the strongest attack he had seen so far.
Li Xunyi smiled and said, "After all, I've been training hard every day."
During this period of time, not only had his sword skills improved a lot, but he had also added two new types of Life Clusters to his flying sword. One of them was due to a fortuitous encounter, while the other was given to him by his junior brother. After all, his junior brother's flying sword had been destroyed and he had returned to the Central Plains in disappointment. Before he left, he had given the Life Cluster to Li Xunyi, which had greatly increased the speed and strength of his flying sword.
Of course, the Life Cluster that Li Xunyi had cultivated was completely different from the Life Cluster that Zuo Zhicheng had mastered from the Southern Sacred Sect. The former was also simpler and less dangerous than the latter.
As he spoke, Li Xunyi turned his head and looked at the man and woman beside him and asked, "What do you think? I told you that he's definitely good enough."
"Li Xunyi, you should know that this is a serious matter." The woman shook her head and said, "You didn't use your full strength just now. I'll only be assured if I try it out myself."
