Ancient Sword City
The Softening Spirit Powder was not an elixir, but a powder.
This group of bandits had used the special medicinal effects of the Soft Spirit Powder to rob and kill many martial artists. It was a tried and tested success.
Logically speaking, when the one-eyed burly man used the Softening Spirit Powder, this handsome young man should have been weakened and unable to resist. Why did he still have the strength to fight?
Doubts appeared in the hearts of the bandits, causing their faces to turn ugly.
"Kill!"
After a while, a roar exploded.
More than ten bandits rushed towards Chu Xingyun. In an instant, Wu Ling's light flashed wildly. The group of bandits carried a terrifying murderous aura as they used all their moves to kill Chu Xingyun instantly.
Facing the ferocious group attack, Chu Xingyun's pitch-black eyes didn't waver. He waved his hand, and a myriad of spiritual energies howled, condensing into a dense sword light in the air.
Then, Chu Xingyun pointed forward. In an instant, the sword light bloomed in the void like a storm, covering the area in front of him.
"Ah!"
Shrill cries rang out as the bodies of the bandits were mercilessly pierced through by the sword light. Blood spurted out as the bandits howled in pain, dying the entire space red with a layer of blood.
After three breaths, there were no more bandits in the void. They had all turned into cold corpses lying on the ground below. Even the flying spiritual beasts were the same.
When Teng Qing and the others saw this scene, they were all silent. Their faces were pale, and only endless shock was left.
This handsome young man was so powerful. With just one move, he had killed more than ten bandits!
At this moment, Chu Xingyun slowly turned his head. His deep eyes made Teng Qing tremble. His legs felt numb, and he felt as if the world had started to shake violently.
Just now, he had used Chu Xingyun as a scapegoat. He wanted to use Chu Xingyun's life to delay the bandits and avoid being killed.
At this moment, even if Chu Xingyun killed him, it would be reasonable!
"Brother, thank you for saving me."
Teng Qing took a deep breath and made himself look very calm. He smiled faintly and said, "These bandits commit all kinds of crimes. They blocked the road and killed many cultivators. Thanks to Brother's help, more people were able to survive. Just now, I suppressed the effects of the Soft Spirit Powder and was about to make a move, but I didn't expect your sword move to be so swift and violent."
As he spoke, Teng Qing secretly looked at Chu Xingyun. His heart was beating violently, as if it was about to burst out of his body.
Chu Xingyun glanced at Teng Qing, but he did not reply. He sat back on the white Tiger and continued to rush towards Ancient Sword City.
After Chu Xing Yun left, the smile on Teng Qing's face immediately disappeared. His body trembled, and he fell to the ground below. His breathing was rapid, and his back was drenched in sweat. He looked very miserable.
In fact, he did not suppress to suppress the Softening Spirit Powder.
He had only said that to deceive Chu Xingyun and cause Chu Xingyun to be wary and not dare make a move against him. After all, he was the son of the kingdom and had many treasures on him.
"That young man was as handsome as a demon, and his strength was also quite frightening. He should be a genius from another dynasty." Teng Qing's companions also landed and spoke with lingering fear.
They had all been poisoned by the Softening Spirit Powder and were unable to deploy their full strength. If Chu Xingyun had any ill intentions, they would all die.
"His sword arts are indeed not bad, but there is still a gap between him and me." Teng Qing swallowed a pill and said lowly, "He should have practiced some sort of secret method that can ignore the effects of the Softening Spirit Powder and kill the bandits with one stroke when they were not paying attention."
"As for the other bandits, their strength was quite weak and had barely stepped into the earth spirit realm. If I hadn't been ambushed, I would have been able to kill these people even faster. That young man most likely knew this as well, which was why he left in such a hurry."
Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this. Teng Qing's level of training had already reached the sixth level of the earth spirit, and his sword arts were incomparably incisive. He could even call himself a genius in the Great Xia Dynasty.
That handsome young man was very strong, but there was still a gap between him and Teng Qing.
As Teng Qing and the others were discussing, Chu Xingyun had already arrived at the Sword Cleansing Mountain Range.
He didn't take what had happened just now to heart. He'd only made a move because the bandits had blocked his path and not because he wanted to save Teng Qing.
As for Teng Qing's words, Chu Xingyun had seen through them with a single glance. He wasn't willing to waste time on this kind of person at all.
After entering the Sword Cleansing Mountain Range, the white tiger slowed down slightly. When the white tiger landed in the air above the Sword Cleansing Pool, Chu Xingyun's eyes narrowed slightly as he revealed a trace of shock.
This city was even larger than the Driftcloud Imperial City. It was built from thousands of boulders, and it was situated in the middle of the mountains. It was majestic and grand, like an ancient beast from the primordial times. It made one feel small and insignificant.
Looking down, there were many cultivators in the city. Even from a hundred meters up in the air, the lively atmosphere could be clearly felt. It was hard to imagine that there would be such a city in the middle of a forest and mountain range.
"Let's go down." Chu Xingyun said in a low voice and had the white tiger land in the Ancient Sword City.
Strolling along the wide road, Chu Xingyun looked around curiously. He could clearly feel that the entire Ancient Sword City was filled with a hazy sword aura.
This sword aura didn't come from a practitioner. It seemed to be born from heaven and earth and was mixed with spiritual energy. Once it entered the body, it made the Spiritual Sea happy and comfortable.
"This sword aura is extraordinary. It's very likely left behind by a legendary ancient sword." Chu Xingyun thought to himself. At the same time, his interest in the legendary ancient sword grew even stronger.
At that moment, the ground shook.
Chu Xingyun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a wild lion running wildly on the road, causing the crowd to move aside.
On the wild lion sat a young man. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he coldly scanned the crowd. There was a bronze longsword at his waist. The sword hadn't been unsheathed, but the sharp sword aura had already swept up into the sky, tearing apart the layers of clouds.
"Ancient Sword City is so big, but there's no one capable. How boring!" The young man retracted his gaze and let out a disdainful voice. Immediately, the faces of many practitioners spat out flames of anger.
However, they all stood in place and only stared at the arrogant young man with cold eyes. They didn't shout angrily, nor did they stand out to challenge him.
Soon, the young man left.
The surrounding crowd also silently dispersed. What happened just now was fleeting, as if it had never happened.
Chu Xingyun stood at the side and didn't feel angry because of the young man's arrogant words.
The Sword Cleansing Pool Trial was the stepping stone to enter Wanjian Pavilion. Every time it opened, it would attract countless geniuses.
Although the young man just now was arrogant, the aura he emitted was extremely powerful. He had already reached the Ninth Heaven of the Earth Spirit Realm and was only one step away from stepping into the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
Such talent and strength were quite rare even in Wanjian Pavilion.
"Tang Yue said that the Sword Cleansing Pool Trial was just one of the methods Wanjian Pavilion used to recruit disciples. Normally, if there were outstanding talents, Wanjian Pavilion would also extend an olive branch to them."
"The young man just now had an arrogant aura. He's obviously not an ordinary person. Logically speaking, this person already had the opportunity to enter Wanjian Pavilion. Why did he specially come to Ancient Sword City?"
Chu Xingyun's face was filled with doubt. He looked over and looked at the sky outside the city.
