Diwu Lianfeng's face turned bright red, and he glared angrily at Xu Shan. "Xu, don't go too far! If it weren't for Senior Huang being here today, I would definitely kill you!"
Xu Shan gave him a sidelong glance. "He's laughing too. Why are you only showing off in front of me? You're just picking on the weak. Where's that arrogant attitude you had in the secret realm?"
"You...."
During the conversation, the old man in black robes hovered behind them and remained silent. The veins on Sun Yuanzheng's forehead were already bulging. What a useless thing Diwu Lianfeng was. He actually reacted like this when he saw Huang Zhiwen. He even started chatting with him!
"Master Huang, let's not waste time. How about we make a bet? The two of us will fight. If you win, I'll leave. If you lose, leave that person behind. What do you say?"
Huang Zhiwen didn't give a definite answer. "Sure, but this expert who came with you..."
"He's the Grand Elder of our Zixiao Sword Sect. He's only here today to prevent any accidents. You can rest assured."
As Sun Yuanzheng spoke, he didn't forget to use his spiritual consciousness to check the surroundings. He already knew that Xu Shan had controlled thirty Nascent Soul cultivators single-handedly. The Nascent Soul experts from the Demonic-Breaking Hall were almost scared out of their wits. Otherwise, they wouldn't have hesitated for so long before taking action.
In order to guard against Xu Shan's mysterious and powerful master, it took a great deal of effort to invite the Grand Elder out of seclusion. And the Grand Elder had only agreed to fight that mysterious powerful cultivator. But it seemed that there were no other cultivators around... They should be hiding.
Anyway, with the Grand Elder here, the situation was definitely under control!
"Alright, I'll fight you. I hope you keep your promise!"
"Everything I say and do represents the sect. I will never go back on my word."
Xu Shan frowned deeply and pulled Huang Zhiwen aside, whispering, "Master, he's at the Nascent Soul stage, and you're at the Golden Core stage. Why don't I use the..."
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's have some fun with him. I haven't fought for a long time. You can use it when the situation looks bad. It won't be interesting if you use it too early."
After saying this, Huang Zhiwen rode his flying sword straight up into the sky! He stretched out his right hand towards the direction of the Baodan Sect. A mountain peak over ten li away suddenly exploded. A column of light shot straight into the sky, transformed into a golden light that was over ten feet long, and flew towards him at high speed, landing in Huang Zhiwen's hand.
When the golden light dissipated, a sword with its blade inlaid with golden scales was revealed in front of everyone.
Sun Yuanzheng didn't dare to underestimate him. He raised his sword and took the initiative to attack Huang Zhiwen. Golden and purple lights shone alternately in the clouds, and thunder rumbled under the clear blue sky.
Diwu Lianfeng stared blankly at the sky. "The Dragon Scale Wind-Slicing Sword..."
Xu Shan poked Diwu Lianfeng and said, "Hey, what's the background of Huang Zhiwen, and what's the situation with the Huang family of Tianxin?"
"For the sake of your master, I don't want to kill you. Don't try to get friendly with me!" Diwu Lianfeng gave him a disgusted look.
"Damn it. You said you didn't want to kill me, but you still brought people here to kill me. You're so hypocritical."
Diwu Lianfeng said awkwardly, "I told you that I won't pursue the inheritance personally anymore, but this inheritance is something that my family is determined to obtain. This is an agreement between the Zixiao Sword Sect and my family, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Don't you want to see what the inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform is?" Xu Shan tempted him. "Tell me about Huang Zhiwen, and I'll let you take a look."
"This...."
Diwu Lianfeng's curiosity was piqued. After hesitating for a while, he said, "You're with Huang Zhiwen. Don't you know his identity?"
"If I knew, why would I ask you?"
Diwu Lianfeng thought for a moment and said, "He's the eldest son of the Huang family of Tianxin, the recognized next patriarch of the Huang family, and is known as a once-in-a-thousand-year genius in the way of the sword."
"It's said that when he was born, a thousand swords rang out in unison. He started learning the sword at the age of five, reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of eight, and had already surpassed the Golden Core realm before he was twenty. He broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of forty. When he first entered the Nascent Soul stage, he could fight three Nascent Soul中期 cultivators alone without falling behind. He's the goal that all sword cultivators in the Tianxin Domain look up to. Among the new generation of sword cultivators, he's a legend."
"Later, for some unknown reason, without any warning, he disappeared mysteriously... I didn't expect to see him here..."
Diwu Lianfeng looked up at the clouds and murmured, "The flying sword just now, called the Dragon Scale Wind-Slicing Sword, is the heirloom sword of the Huang family, an Earth Rank eighth-grade magic tool, and a famous magic tool in the Tianxin Domain."
"How is it possible... Why is he having so much trouble fighting against a Nascent Soul cultivator now..."
Diwu Lianfeng was still confused, and Xu Shan was already shocked! He had thought that Huang Zhiwen had a remarkable background, but he didn't expect it to be this astonishing! He had completely taken on the protagonist's template! Why hadn't he possessed Huang Zhiwen's body when he took over someone else's body?
So... Ye Qingbi must also have a remarkable background! I didn't expect that this place for retirement in the Shuijing Domain actually hid so many big shots.
"It's impossible, impossible! Why does his aura and spiritual pressure only seem to be at the Golden Core realm?" Diwu Lianfeng looked at the battle in the clouds in confusion, and the more he looked, the more confused he became.
"Because he's really at the Golden Core realm. Who knows if he encountered some accident that caused his cultivation realm to decline."
"Is that so... That's the only possibility. To be able to fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Golden Core realm and not fall behind for so long! Only a genius like him can do it!!"
Xu Shan clicked his tongue. Then his beating up ten Nascent Soul cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage was really like cheating.
"Sigh..." Diwu Lianfeng sighed regretfully, his eyes a bit glazed, and his heart filled with an inexplicable sense of loss. Genius, this was a title that had surrounded him since he was born. Compared with Huang Zhiwen, it seemed like a joke. He was the real genius, a genius among geniuses.
Fighting against a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Golden Core realm, he knew he didn't have the ability to do that, and he didn't even dare to think about it. Perhaps apart from his heavenly luck supernatural power, he had nothing to brag about in the face of such a genius.
Adjusting his mindset, Diwu Lianfeng said, "I've told you what you wanted to know. Now show me the inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform."
Xu Shan was straightforward. He directly summoned the Heart-Piercing Sword and casually threw it to Diwu Lianfeng. He wasn't afraid of it being stolen. The Heart-Piercing Sword was connected to his mind and spirit, and he could recall it with a single thought.
What he was most wary of was the old man in black robes behind him. He was floating there motionless, and he didn't know what he was doing. As soon as he made any move, Xu Shan would immediately crush the Immortal Controlling Order.
Diwu Lianfeng stroked the Heart-Piercing Sword and was immediately attracted. "What a good sword! I think it's at least not lower than the fifth rank of the Earth Rank!"
What kind of judgment was that? Huang Zhiwen had said it was of the eighth rank. Xu Shan gave him a disdainful look and said, "This is called the Heart-Piercing Sword. I remember your flying sword seems to be very special. How about showing it to me?"
"Hmph, then let you, a country bumpkin, have a look." Diwu Lianfeng summoned a flying sword that was entirely red and showed it off. "This is the Flame Cloud Sword, an heirloom of my Diwu Family, an Earth Rank sixth-grade magic tool, and it's very famous in the Tianxin Domain!"
Xu Shan took the Flame Cloud Sword and secretly complained in his heart. Show-off. This guy really knew how to show off. No wonder he mistook the Heart-Piercing Sword for a fifth-rank one. The best thing this guy had ever seen should be an Earth Rank sixth-grade magic tool.
For a moment, the two of them studied each other's magic tools in the air. A hoarse voice sounded at this moment. "That kid named Xu, I've searched all the way within a hundred li, and I haven't found anything worthy of my attention. Where is your master? Make him come out and fight me right now!"
