"Where were you when they were cannibalizing people before?"
Jian Jia gritted her teeth,
"But... if I act like this too, then... then what’s the point of revenge..."
Then, silently, a Daoist suddenly appeared in front of her. His hollow eye sockets, dark as abysses, stared at her quietly while grinning,
"Then accompany him in death."
Jian Jia was startled and suddenly opened her eyes.
In front of her was no one, only the Gate Valve’s vermillion gate, standing quietly like a blood-sared beast.
The furious roar of that dog bastard "kill! kill! kill!" echoed still, but her lungs were icy, her heart pounding wildly, almost leaping out of her throat.
"What...?"
Jian Jia instinctively turned her head to search for the Daoist, then suddenly froze.
At the end of the avenue, stood a figure, a swordsman, not the Daoist from before.
Similarly dressed as a Sword Sect disciple wandering the Jianghu, wearing a green robe with a sword strapped to his back, his face obscured by a bamboo hat, like a reflection in the mirror!
"Clang!"
Then a flash of cold light! The sword light unsheathed! Headed straight for Jian Jia’s head!
"Ha!"
Jian Jia flew and dodged, the Epheral Divine Skill appeared! Clanging past the sword blade!"Boom!" crashed through a house wall!
"Aah!" "Guards! Guards!" "Soone!"
The people inside clearly weren’t asleep either, after all, a killer star was rampaging house-to-house on the neighboring street; who could sleep! When soone ca in not through the door but through the wall, they were scared half to death! Loudly screaming for help!
Yet Jian Jia had no ti to explain, she only glimpsed sword light flashing at the corner of her eye! The flying sword was already in hot pursuit! Spiraling around her throat!
"Zha!"
Jian Jia roared furiously, spitting her flying sword!
Yet her sword light didn’t turn to et the incoming sword but headed straight out of the house, aiming to pierce the swordsman assassin instead!
The attacking flying sword ca head-on! Yet Jian Jia ignored it, choosing to release a flying sword to counterattack, herself continuing to rely on the Epheral Divine Skill to dodge the sword light sideways!
Indeed, as a Sword Sect disciple she knew well: in a duel between Sword Immortals, the worst mistake is to clash swords!
Because not only are flying swords extrely sharp, overly hard ones are prone to breaking, and overly sharp ones to wearing down. Moreover, they are bound to the Divine Sense, inscribed with nurous rune sword inscriptions. If damaged in a clash, not only the treasure and sword would be lost, but the Sword Immortal’s own spirit would suffer severe damage! And this mont of distraction is a fatal weakness! Likely leading to getting beheaded!
Thus, when Sword Sect fellows clash, it’s often like this: they each launch flying swords to assassinate! Using swords against enemies! Seeing whose sword is faster! Whose sword is sharper! Who beheads the opponent first!
If the first round doesn’t succeed, with neither side decapitated, then as everyone knows each other’s roots and backgrounds, they begin to entangle, just like Jian Jia is doing now, using agility skills to leap around, and supplenting with the Gold Avoiding Technique to hold and drag. Forcing attrition, testing who has more trump cards, who makes fewer mistakes, who has a more solid foundation!
Thus Jian Jia imdiately perford her family-heritage Flying Eagle Skill, maneuvering through the air like an eagle with rises and falls, soaring and spinning, pinching the formula to avoid gold, under the Epheral Flash’s support, swiftly widening the distance, making it impossible for the flying sword, which twisted and stabbed, to touch her!
True, don’t see Jian Jia as having joined the sect with Tie Dan at the sa ti, don’t really think she only cultivated for two years. In fact, coming from such a Cultivation Family and Sword Immortal noble family, compared to Tie Dan, who was kept in a dog cage, the disparity is too big.
Ordinary people wanting to cultivate wouldn’t even know where the Mountain Gate is, nor would they understand the cultivation technique. It would take them nine years just to learn to read, wouldn’t it? And many can’t even get past that first step, let alone cultivation? Do you know that apart from Qi Refining, what else you must do to beco immortal?
Can you compare that to soone whose whole family elders guide and preach from the mont they’re born, laying a golden road before them, needing only to take the last step through the gate?
The inheritance of family knowledge is a divine Immortal Fate, that’s what’s called ’companion’.
From the ti Jian Jia could rember, she followed the path of reading, practicing, cultivating, breathing, refining Qi, tempering her body, and even though the Sword Sect secrets of Honzan couldn’t be taught, all other outer mountain’s knowledge that she could learn had been learned, not to ntion the various secret cultivation acupoints, the foundation of Five Arts, at least five or six years ahead of Tie Dan in Qi storage and Body Refinent, that foundation was unshakable.
Later, the Marquis Mansion had heaps of heavenly materials and treasures, Spirit Pills, and Immortal Elixirs to assist, followed by her teacher’s true instruction. In Heng Mountain, soaking in the hot springs of the nine major sects’ absolute pri Cave Heaven Blessed Land, extracting all the Kui Water Essence, breakthrough to Core Formation and sword casting was just a natural progression. Moreover, she recently had several nights of Dual Cultivation with Tie Dan, filling her True Qi to the point of overflowing!
Ahem, in short, at this mont Shen Jianjia, too, has achieved Qi Refining and Core Formation, reached the peak, and achieved minor success in Divine Skill, making her a first-class expert even in the Jianghu.
But this isn’t the Jianghu! This is cultivation!
No matter how powerful you are, there’s always soone else more overpowered, more heaven-defying!
Thus, before Jian Jia could evade the sword light and widen the gap—
"Buzz!"
"Boom!"
A sudden crash! A booming sound wave! An invisible Qi Wave fiercely blasted!
The Gate Valve family’s courtyard walls were instantly flattened and exploded by the sonic wave! The green tiles and vermillion walls, the palace and pavilion, all blown away in an instant! Leveled to the ground!
Sonic Wave Technique! Invisible Qi Wave! Suddenly blasting forth!
Simultaneously the flying sword turned abruptly! Attacking from both front and rear! Piercing straight to the back!
The attack began!
However, Jian Jia’s heart remained as calm as icy water! Unflustered! Coldly playing her hand!
After all, although she couldn’t compare to strange ones like Tie Dan, yet in Hidden Sword Manor, in the Marquis Mansion, in Guangxia Mountain, in Yellow Court Palace, Jian Jia was always sparring with experts from various sects, accumulating a lot of sword fighting experience, not an easy one to deal with!
