nInnumerable gazes looked toward the stone forest.

nLiu Shisui stood on the stone post, wearing a shabby robe, his hair like weeds, making him look like a ghost.

nHowever, the sword he wielded looked so balanced and peaceful.

nLike a king of three generations, a general of a powerful country, or a handsome scholar.

nJian Ruoyun hadn’t drawn his sword yet.

nHe was watching Liu Shisui’s sword quietly.

nMany people, including Jian Ruoyun, were waiting for Liu Shisui’s sword to pass the middle post.

nUntil then, Jian Ruoyun could call out his sword.

nTime passed.

nLiu Shisui’s sword had passed the middle stone post.

nThat stone post was right in between the two stone posts on which Liu Shisui and Jian Ruoyun respectively stood.

nHaving flown over three hundred yards, the will of Liu Shisui’s sword hadn’t been reduced even slightly as it maintained its heavenly power.

nThere were no surprised screams, as the crowd was too shaken to make a sound.

nThough the scene looked seemingly unimportant, it revealed a shocking fact for the entire Green Mountain:

nLiu Shisui had already entered the State of the Undefeated.

n…

n…

n“He’s great,” Zhao Layue remarked.

nRegardless of what had actually happened, Liu Shisui deserved such a compliment. It was a great achievement for him to enter the State of the Undefeated, as he had been a virtual prisoner for the past two years.

n…

n…

nThe Peak Master of Qingrong asked, “How old is he?”

n“Seventeen or eighteen?” a disciple replied tentatively.

nThe Peak Master of Qingrong glanced at Zhao Layue in the distance without saying anything.

n…

n…

nThe masters of the nine peaks were surprised.

nAfter Immortal Jing Yang entered the State of the Undefeated at a young age, the youngest Undefeated State swordsmen were Zhao Layue and Zhuo Rusui, with Liu Shisui being the third person to achieve this feat.

nWere Liu Shisui able to practice Cultivation normally, would he have improved even faster?

nIf he didn’t done that thing and wasn’t a suspect in another murder case, how would the Green Mountain have treated such a genius like this?

nSome masters even wished that what he had just said to be actually true, as how fabulous would that have been!

n…

n…

nThe wind started blowing from the other side of the cliff, bringing cold to the mid-spring air instead of warmth.

nThe wind touched Liu Shisui’s sword, making the sword vibrate slightly, when suddenly, his sword emitted four green beams of light.

nThese four green light beams were not an imagined phenomenon, but rather tangible entities; they were part of the Chaotic Sword.

nThe flying sword abruptly sped up along with the four light rays of the Chaotic Sword, all heading toward Jian Ruoyun.

nAt last Liu Shisui attacked, as forcefully as he could.

nSeeing the bright sword light and four beams of the Chaotic Sword, Jian Ruoyun waved his sleeve casually, his expression unchanged.

nA gray flying sword rose up, coming toward Liu Shisui in an instant.

n“As fast as lightning” was usually an exaggerated description.

nBut Jian Ruoyun’s sword was actually as fast as actual lightning, so fast that no naked eyes could see it.

nLiu Shisui’s sword was blocked before its stored energy could apply power.

nTwo flying swords met above the stone forest.

nThe sound of sword clashing echoed in the valley.

nThen the two flying swords separated, and then met again.

nAnd again…and again…

nIn mere moments, the two flying swords clashed countless times.

nThe crisp sword sounds were as frequent as raindrops.

nCountless sparks of fire spread, like silvery flowers in a tree blooming in front of the mountain peak, brightly illuminating this forest of stone.

nEven the sun in the sky appeared dimmer.

nThe two flying swords fought fervently in the sky.

nStanding on their respective stone posts one thousand yards apart and keeping their hands behind their backs, Liu Shisui and Jian Ruoyun stared at each other quietly.

nAfter a long while, both the gray sword light and the bright sword light abruptly retreated.

nThey flew back to Liu Shisui and Jian Ruoyun .

nThe disciples at the bottom of the stone forest were truly stunned.

nBig Brother Jian Ruoyun’s sword Cultivation was apparently stronger than Liu Shisui’s, so why did their sword fight end up in a draw?

nThe two flying swords quivered faintly, with hundreds of tiny cracks on the shafts of both swords; it seemed their sword materials were close in quality as well.

nJian Ruoyun glanced at his sword.

nLiu Shisui took a step forward without even looking at his sword.

nThe top of the stone post had just enough space for one person standing on it.

nIt meant he had stepped off the stone post.

nYet his flying sword was waiting there.

n…

n…

nFrom beginning to end, it had remained quiet on the stone platform for the disciples of Liangwang Peak, from when Jian Ruoshan called out Jing Jiu for combat and ended up being severely wounded by Liu Shisui to Liu Shisui calling out Jian Ruoyun for combat.

nAnd Guo Nanshan, Gu Han and Ma Hua remained absolutely silent.

nWitnessing the scene above the stone forest, Gu Han thought of the first step Liu Shisui took on Sword Peak years ago, feeling both proud and resentful.

n…

n…

nThe two sword lights illuminated the stone forest again.

nAt that moment, Liu Shisui and Jian Ruoyun fought on their respective flying swords, many times more dangerous than before.

nThe two sword lights sometimes fell into the clouds; sometimes they flew up into the sky, and they even reached the top of Tianguang Peak when they flew to the highest elevation.

nThe clouds were stirred like boiling water, and many sword ruts appeared on the cliff walls, with stone chips falling down from time to time.

nThe two sword lights moved too fast to be seen clearly by the regular disciples.

nOnly those disciples with higher Cultivation states and masters of the nine peaks knew how intense and dangerous this sword fight had become.

n…

n…

nWhoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

nThe two sword lights separated again.

nThe two of them landed back on their respective stone posts.

nA trickle of blood oozed out from one corner of Liu Shisui’s mouth.

nThere was a cut on Jian Ruoyun’s sleeve.

nThe fight on the flying swords was not simply about sword riding.

nThe ridden sword had to change the directions constantly after leaving the stone post in order to prevent the opponent’s flying sword from attacking once it broke off from your sword; it was very important to always defend oneself, and since one had to travel on the sword, the attacking force of the flying sword was a lot weaker.

nIn this kind of battle, Liu Shisui should have the advantage, as he had already acquired the Chaotic Sword; he should still be able to attack the opponent in the air while traveling on the sword. However, Liu Shisui didn’t expect Jian Ruoyun to possess such excellent sword riding skills that would allow him to dodge his Chaotic Sword attack so well and then used the sword force to crash him.

n“Why do the disciples of our sect rarely practice the Chaotic Sword? Because it is the deviant method.”

nStanding on the stone post one thousand yards away, Jian Ruoyun said to Liu Shisui, “It seems the Devil Pill can only help you so much.”

nA gust of wind pushed up the clouds beneath the top of the stone posts, stirring up Jian Ruoyun’s green clothes.

nA strong energy emitted from his body, and the flying sword sensed it, cutting through the clouds with a white smoke.

nSomeone yelled surprisingly, “It is the seventh form of the Old Bird sword style, the Summoned Cloud!”

nBefore joining Liangwang Peak, Jian Ruoyun had been the personal disciple of the Peak Master of Yunxing.

nThe main sword of Yunxing Peak was the Sword of Absolute Emptiness, and the sword style was the Old Bird with thirteen forms.

nIf a disciple with the State of the Undefeated could learn the fifth form, he would be considered a talented disciple.

nIn fact, Jian Ruoyun had learned the seventh form, the Summoned Cloud!

nIt was rumored that he had made breakthroughs within the half a year he was imprisoned in the stone room on Shangde Peak; it appeared as though he had grasped the true essence of the Old Bird sword style!

nWatching the intermittently visible flying sword in the clouds, his colleagues were seen with admiration on their faces.

nThe disciples of Yunxing Peak cheered him on loudly, and the masters nodded in appreciation.

nSeeing the flying sword coming along with the cloud, Liu Shisui called out his sword again, but his expression changed slightly.

nJing Jiu had said his eyebrows were too straight. In fact, his sword was even straighter.

nThe bright flying sword illuminated the stone forest, and flew straight forward.

nAs the two swords were about to meet, a loud, thudding bang sounded in the stone forest.

nThe white cloud rose up, bringing with it an enormous energy, like the ocean waves rolling in all sides; the two swords were instantly swallowed up into the cloudy waves.

nLiu Shisui felt his connection with the flying sword growing weaker.

nSuddenly, Jian Ruoyun’s sword appeared again, right in front of Liu Shisui!

nThis gray sword seemed having traveled t space in no time.

nThe surprised screams rang out at the bottom of the stone forest.

nHe had used the change in clouds; He had learned the heavenly and earthly way!

nJian Ruoyun had proven he was already qualified to peer into the door of the State of Free Travel.

nThe gray sword was piercing toward Liu Shisui’s forehead, without any intention to stop.

nEverybody thought Jian Ruoyun would halt his sword in last second, so they were not so worried.

nHowever, Liu Shisui could undeniably sense Jian Ruoyun’s murderous intent.

nHis face was pale, and the looks on Liu Shisui’s face expressed resentment and a hint of determination!

n
