Just as Jacob was hesitating to leave, a white shadow descended from the sky and landed steadily on the Snow Shade Peak. The person wore a long white robe that was completely spotless. There was a long sword strapped right across on his back.
That man was the Sword King, and the sword on his back was the famous Shadowless Sword that he had plunged into the Sword Purifying Pond when he made a name for himself. Back then, on the peak of Snow Mountain, he defeated the Chess Crazy Master with just one stroke and mastered the Heart Sword. After that, there was no longer a need for him to draw a physical sword.
Since there was already a sword in his heart, he could turn everything around him into a sword. In fact, using an actual sword would only slow him down.
"It's a pity. If you'd shown up any later, I would've left thinking you bailed on me," Jacob said with some regret.
"I've always been a punctual person, sorry to disappoint you," the Sword King said flatly.
