66 Swift Sword

As Lucis and his gang continue on their journey, some cultivator has locked their gaze into their boat and observe from distance away especially the one that didn't have foundation. The sight of boat flying pick their interest greatly since they're never actually anyone stupid enough wasting material forging flying magic item like this. It's too wasteful and not practical.

Of course great clan have something expensive looking like that forged especially for flying a huge number of people but most of these item is weapon, not as stupid as boat like what Lucis use.

Whoever this person that own this boat is, they must be rich. This is what most people have in their mind as they start tailing this boat from behind while staying hidden.

But as the race continue, people that doesn't have foundation lag behind and soon forced to gave up while the people that can fly slowly getting impatient. They chase this boat for half a day and there's no sign of it slowing down at all. In fact, as time goes by, the boat's getting faster and faster.

Driving a magic tool is not the same as piloting a plane. Getting their flying magic item flew at a steady speed is not possible since they constantly need to adjust their energy during the flight and would slow down or fall down slightly but this boat not only doesn't need rest, it's actually gaining speed.

"what the hell is that thing?" the small team stop and look at the boat with a cold sweat. Their meridian has been put on strained trying to keep up with the boat.

"maybe it's a soul cultivator after all. That should explain how they can flew like that!"

"We chased it for half a day, if it's a soul cultivator, do you think they will let us chasing them this far?" The bulky man asked, worried that the rest of this newly formed group would give up. He doesn't have the confidence to take down the boat owner alone.

The other nod with agreement and the greed in their eyes returned as they lock their eyes to the boat again.

Talk like these also happened to the other group while some simply gave up worried that they're actually poking a hornet nest.

On the boat, Lucis, Muzin and Shuzan simultaneously raise their guard and fix their gaze at a certain mountain at some distance away.

Lucis look at everyone behind him and realized that only him, Muzin and Shuzan notice the devine sense that briefly scan them.

"that's a powerful core devine sense. It's seems that we have caught someone attention." Shuzan said and fix his eyes on the horizon.

Just as Shuzan finish his sentence, the devine sense once again landed on them and this time it's scanning them more thoroughly include their weapons and magic tool.

Shuzan and Muzin start sweating cold. The other party send their aura with their devine sense and gave them a huge pressure on their body. Suyi and Nanji instantly fall on their knees and feel like their body is wrapped by a chain slowly getting tight.

"what a nerve. This is clearly picking a fight!" Lucis said with anger and stop the boat. He could feel the other person sending a force slowing down the boat.

Lucis threw his devine sense to the mountain trying to see the other person but as soon as his sense arrived, it getting bounce back before he manage to see anything.

Shuzan and Muzin quickly brandishing their weapons ready for battle. Lucis wave his hand and Suyi and Nanji suddenly covered by a purple globe shield around their body.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, the force the other person put on them didn't disappear but the other person also didn't move.

"they finally stop!"

"let's go. Let's teach this person for making us chase after them this long!" the group that has been chasing the boat finally catch up quickly flew to intercept Lucis boat.

"let's see how long you guys can hold on, ha ha ha ha." a voice transmitted to Lucis and his gang. His voice sounds malice and vicious.

Soon, a couple dozen people start surrounding the boat with their flying magic tool. From one look and Lucis realize all of these people not from the same group evidently the person from the mountain earlier just taking advantage of these people.

"brother, leave this boat and all your belonging and we will spare your life." said the middle-age man with vicious smile.

Lucis expand his devine sense trying to gauge everyone power while staying calm.

"you dare!" one of the young man shout with anger when he feel Lucis devine sense touching him. He quickly unsheathe his sword and point it at Lucis.

"The strongest among them is 600. Both of you surpassed them a mile away." Lucis said calmly with a smile.

"really?!" Muzin asked with surprised. That was unusual, gauging someone power is difficult, how did Lucis did that? moreover with their aura surrounding their body?

"Then we have a chance." Shuzan smile. Suddenly, his limbs slowly turn orange and fire aura envelope his body brandishing his high amount of power.

The group was shocked and raise their guard when they see that Shuzan clearly have more power than them.

"it doesn't change anything. We have more people." the middle-age man sneer.

Just as Shuzan trying to brandish his powerful body enchantment, the pressure from the person in the mountains intensify forcing his feet touching the boat back. Even Muzin start struggling to breathe.

"fool! Hahahaha" the man from the mountain send his voice again but only the people on the boat can hear it.

When the young man saw that most people have their eyes on Suyi he quickly get impatient. "that girl is mine!" he shout.

"brother, I don't see your name on it. Whoever get her can keep her hahaha"

"right, right. Look at all their weapons, that's some money."

"Wait!" suddenly a bulky man flew forward attracting everyone attention to him.

"what about the boat? How are we gonna divide the material?" the bulky man said completely disregard the people on the boat.

"tiger claw! That's him!" the people around shout in shock.

"The boat is mine!" Suddenly a powerful voice coming from above. A young man about 25 years old look floating majestical fixing his gaze at the boat.

Everyone look at the young man with disgusted and unsatisfied expression especially since this young man actually look really handsome like a celestial being but they quickly realized 5hat he actually flying without magic tool.

"Swift sword!" Shuzan shout. A cold sweat raining from his forehead.

When the group heard Shuzan call the young man name, everyone quickly shut their mouth and the look of disgusted turn into fear and respect.

"so it's him." Lucis frown. The pressure and the voice they heard all coming from this guy.

"..and that girl, I want her too." said the young man with a smirk and further intensified the pressure on the boat. The boat start making a creak sound from his aura.

Everyone just gulping down and smile wryly didn't dare to say anything. His core is not the problem but his power is just way so massive compare to all of them combine.

"pfft! Haha... Hahaha.. hahahaha hai..." Lucis hold his stomach. He's been keeping a stern face since morning and he finally found something to laugh at.

The young man frown then he suddenly put more pressure on the boat. Even the people around can feel the pressure and see with their naked eyes as the boat start cracking and Shuzan and Muzin glued on it sweating bullet.

"kill yourself and I'll consider leaving your corpse whole." the young man said with a smirk.

"Did you heard that? Suyi, look, look! Buahahaha" Lucis rest his back on the pole that holding the roof and laugh maniacally. Shuzan and Muzin confused, is he not aware of their current situation?

The smirk of the young man slowly disappearing. He's confused how his aura is not effecting Lucis? He have sense and he's pretty sure Lucis among the weakest of all the people on the boat. What's more, the people inside the barrier doesn't look like they're effected by his aura too.

"what a joker, you're about to die and you still laughing!" the middle-age man shout.

"senior swift sword, allowed-"

"Buahahahaha hahaha hahahahaha!" Lucis laughter cut the middle-age man sentence which further anger him.

"Did you heard that?! He's called swift sword. Swift sword? What kind of name is that? Kha ha ha ha ha!" Lucis continue to laugh completely unfazed by the people surrounding his boat.

"its his title. He's call swift sword because his sword would cut his target swiftly." Shuzan said. He really curious how Nanji and Suyi look okay with the heavy pressure from swift sword.

"His title?!" Lucis shout with surprised face.

"now you-" said the young man but...

"What the crab! That's hilarious!" Lucis fall his butt on the deck and holding in his laugh.

"Who is this old man? How can he be so rude toward senior swift sword? Is he tired of living?" the crowd frown looking at Lucis acting like crazy.

Swift sword forehead start popping vein and his calm and majestic aura slowly turn vicious. He's been a core cultivator for 60 years and no one ever laugh at him like this. Wherever he goes, people would respect him, ladies would flattering around him and the elder rushing to be his teacher. His enemy would kneel on the ground and hide for a hundred years but here, in this unremarkable southern part of lousy land, there's actually someone dare to act so brazen in front of him?
