Zhan Kuangtie, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One! Already an inconceivable sword strike!

Now, it’s a world-ending level maneuver, with the potential to ascend to a civilization-grade sword in the future. With the unleashing of this sword, Zhan Kuangtie suffered another injury.

The Arrow Sleeve Boat took the opportunity to pull away. Several people who witnessed Lu Yuan’s sword strike just now, even though they possessed the mana of the third or fourth heaven of the World Realm, couldn't help but have their pupils dilate.

Zhu Tianrong murmured, “What kind of swordsmanship was that just now? How could one strike contain hundreds of supreme techniques, hundreds of pinnacles of swordsmanship?

It seemed as if several hundred ultimate skills were delivered simultaneously in a single move. How can such a technique, such swordsmanship, exist?” Lu Yuan replied dismissively, “Why couldn't it?” Exactly!

Why couldn't it! Zhu Tianrong tried to reason, logically and emotionally, why it couldn't exist, but looking at Lu Yuan’s calm and collected demeanor, he found himself speechless.

Yes, why couldn't it! How many miracles had Lu Yuan already created in his lifetime?

What about the Challenge Tower? Why couldn't he achieve thirty thousand consecutive victories?

What about the World Volcano? Why couldn't he reign supreme?

What about the great battle against the Son of the Sword? Why couldn't he surpass the Seven Sons of Fortune?

Lu Yuan was merely adding another feat to his legendary record. By this point, Zhu Tianrong and the others finally understood: the fact that Lu Yuan hadn't initially grasped the Extreme of Seven Emotions was truly due to the deficiency in his Seven Emotions, not a lack of talent or potential.

Lu Yuan’s strength, potential, and talent were terrifyingly immense; the current setback was merely a temporary consequence of his emotional deficit. “By the way, Lu Yuan, that sword you just used, where did you learn it?” asked Jian Yunzhongzu, himself a sword cultivator and thus most concerned with this matter.

Qiu Qingshan also listened intently nearby, as a sword cultivator, he too was deeply interested. Lu Yuan stood at the stern of the boat, gulped down a mouthful of wine, letting the fierce wind whip through his flowing long hair: “I created it myself.” He created it himself!

This revelation nearly sent Zhu Tianrong, who thought he couldn’t be surprised anymore, tumbling overboard. A technique of this magnitude, subtly surpassing world-ending sword moves and nearly qualifying as civilization-grade, could be self-created?

It wasn't just Zhu Tianrong; several others, including Zhu Liefeng, Ji Qianyu, and Jian Yunzhongzu, almost fell off the ship. Even Su Yingxiu, who was piloting the boat, nearly steered the Arrow Sleeve Boat off course.

To be able to create something like this! It brought tears to their eyes.

They came from supreme great sects, where techniques of this world-ending caliber served as their sect's ultimate skills. Yet, look at Lu Yuan now.

What was one to say? Zhan Kuangtie seeking out Lu Yuan had truly bumped into a wall—what terrible luck.

If it were Ji Qianyu and the others facing the World Realm Sixth Heaven Zhan Kuangtie seeking trouble, they would have had no choice but to await death. But now, despite the extreme peril that felt like a constant game of high-speed life-and-death, they had managed to evade Zhan Kuangtie for quite some time.

Moreover, when the initial life-and-death chase began, everyone was incredibly tense, but gradually, they seemed to adapt to this frenetic pace, finding it quite thrilling. As for Zhan Kuangtie, he was now nearly driven mad.

Such a huge loss of face! For a dignified World Realm Sixth Heaven expert like him to pursue a mere World Realm Fourth Heaven practitioner should have been a trivial matter.

The Yuan Qi Realm of the Sixth Heaven is vastly superior to the Yi Wu Realm of the Fourth Heaven. But what actually happened?

This utterly ridiculous situation: not only was he unable to subdue Lu Yuan after all this time, but he had also been wounded by Lu Yuan twice. He had set a record; if this got out, he would likely be laughed to death.

However, Zhan Kuangtie understood this wasn't due to his carelessness. He had been utterly serious from the very beginning.

To still be injured twice under such focused conditions proved Lu Yuan’s swordsmanship was extraordinary. Recalling the two strikes that wounded him, the first was Sword Six, Sky Shaker!

Lu Yuan had used this strike many times before. Logically, facing a technique repeatedly should allow Zhan Kuangtie to devise a countermeasure.

Yet, every time he confronted it, he realized that all the heaven and earth essence—all the energy within its radius—was being harnessed by the move, leaving Zhan Kuangtie feeling utterly powerless. And the second strike, Sword Eight, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One!

This one was even more terrifying, unleashing hundreds of sword techniques in an instant. While the previous move relied on the surrounding environment to injure him, this strike injured him without borrowing anything external.

Even contemplating it made Zhan Kuangtie feel immense dread. How could such a sword technique exist in the world—one strike condensing hundreds of ultimate skills?

Where did Lu Yuan learn such a terrifying move? Regarding Sword Eight, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One!, Zhan Kuangtie faintly felt this strike was even more horrifying than Sword Six, Sky Shaker!

Both of those strikes were etched deep into the core of Zhan Kuangtie’s being. Zhan Kuangtie realized that he, such a peerless madman, was beginning to feel a trace of fear for Lu Yuan in the depths of his heart.

He, a World Realm Sixth Heaven expert, was actually afraid of Lu Yuan, a World Realm Fourth Heaven cultivator. No one would believe it if he said so, but Zhan Kuangtie knew it was true.

This child, Lu Yuan, if allowed to mature, would become truly formidable. Zhan Kuangtie finally understood why the Mad Sect had sent him to kill Lu Yuan.

Allowing this child to grow unchecked was too terrifying a prospect. Fortunately, due to Lu Yuan’s lack of the Seven Emotions, he couldn't achieve a breakthrough to World Realm Fifth Heaven mid-battle; only then could Zhan Kuangtie guarantee killing him.

Precisely because he feared Lu Yuan’s potential for growth, Zhan Kuangtie felt even more compelled to kill him. If Lu Yuan wasn't eliminated, the Mad Sect would never know peace.

After briefly tending to his injuries and consuming some healing elixirs, Zhan Kuangtie immediately broke cover and gave chase. He was determined to kill this Lu Yuan who instilled fear in him.

Meanwhile, on the Sole Star, many people didn't grasp the full implications of what had just occurred. They certainly didn't realize their star had been moments away from obliteration, but they had all witnessed Lu Yuan’s sword strike—a flash of dazzling brilliance.

The result of that strike was even more terrifying: it had actually wounded the World Realm Sixth Heaven expert, Zhan Kuangtie. Just moments ago, everyone was discussing Zhan Kuangtie’s pursuit of Lu Yuan, saying it was impossible for Lu Yuan to hurt him.

But right before their eyes, beside the Sole Star, Lu Yuan had unleashed a sword strike that injured Zhan Kuangtie. This undeniable event meant no one could doubt it any longer.

And this news was now rapidly spreading to other parts of the Central Celestial Dynasty. “What?

Zhan Kuangtie is still chasing Lu Yuan? He hasn’t caught him yet?

A dignified World Realm Sixth Heaven expert handling a mere World Realm Fourth Heaven should be quite simple.” “You’re behind the times. I heard Lu Yuan wounded Zhan Kuangtie again.

Lu Yuan has now injured him twice.” “Are you kidding? How is that possible!” “You say it’s impossible, but it actually happened.

And many people on the Sole Star witnessed it—Lu Yuan struck and wounded Zhan Kuangtie in front of so many people.” “That’s incredible, almost unbelievable.” “That’s what they say, but it’s the truth.” Across the Central Celestial Dynasty, the topic everywhere was Zhan Kuangtie’s pursuit of Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan’s existing fame was one factor, but the second factor—a World Realm Fourth Heaven cultivator twice injuring a World Realm Sixth Heaven expert—combined these two elements to make the topic explosively hot, overshadowing even the temporary truce in the conflict between the Mad Sect and the Sword Sect.

The battle between the Mad Sect and the Sword Sect, after all, was largely defensive maneuvers orchestrated by the Sword Sect, so it wasn't particularly intense. Aboard the Arrow Sleeve Boat, Su Yingxiu continued piloting while the others either channeled their mana to assist her or meditated to conserve energy.

At the stern, Lu Yuan kept drinking his wine, letting the turbulent wind flow through his elegant hair. Zhan Kuangtie was temporarily out of sight, but he would likely catch up soon.

Lu Yuan, however, wasn't overly concerned. Although Zhan Kuangtie, as a World Realm Sixth Heaven expert, would certainly defeat him in a direct confrontation, having already been wounded by Lu Yuan’s Earth Dragon Star attack at the start, and continuing the chase without proper rest or healing, he might not necessarily be able to corner Lu Yuan.

But where should he go now? The Sword Sect was currently under simultaneous attack by the Mad Sect; going there would yield little support.

The Thousand Waters Sect and the Fire Control Sect were in the exact opposite direction of the ship’s travel. And the direction toward the Ancient Law Civilization was also wrong.

Where to? As Lu Yuan pondered, a figure materialized in the void ahead—Jian Ruhai of the Hidden Sword Sect.

Lu Yuan was surprised. Jian Ruhai said, “Pause for a moment.” Hearing Jian Ruhai’s voice, Lu Yuan raised a hand, signaling Su Yingxiu to stop temporarily.

Jian Ruhai reached the edge of the boat: “You are being pursued by Zhan Kuangtie. Come to the Hidden Sword Sect and hide for a while.” “The Hidden Sword Sect.” Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded.

The others had also heard of the Hidden Sword Sect; they knew this sect might not have the highest combat power, but they were masters of concealment, so they all nodded in agreement. Jian Ruhai then executed several complex maneuvers, leading Lu Yuan and the others directly toward the Hidden Sword Sect.

During the journey to the Hidden Sword Sect, Jian Ruhai remarked, “I had heard long ago about your deficiency in the Seven Emotions. I wanted to see if I could cure this deficiency of yours.” The Hidden Sword Sect possessed many peculiar and esoteric methods, and he intended to heal Lu Yuan’s emotional lack to make him stronger.

“However, before that, I must first test the extent of your emotional deficit—to see where each of your Seven Emotions stands on its own scale,” Jian Ruhai stated. Only when Lu Yuan was asked did he realize that the intensity of a person’s seven core emotions were actually graded on a scale.

Jian Ruhai wanted to measure the intensity of Lu Yuan’s seven emotions to devise a strategy to resolve his deficiency. After a series of bizarre spatial shifts, they finally arrived at the Hidden Sword Sect.

This was not Lu Yuan’s first time visiting the Hidden Sword Sect; he felt a degree of familiarity. Where the Arrow Sleeve Boat had just vanished, the broad-browed, imposing, and intensely wild Zhan Kuangtie appeared: “Huh?

I lost them.” He couldn't help but pause. Having pursued from the Earth Dragon Star, traversing countless locations along the way, to actually lose the trail now startled him.

“Lu Yuan, I will definitely find you.” Zhan Kuangtie had to locate Lu Yuan, for deep in his heart, he feared him. He absolutely had to destroy Lu Yuan before the child became too powerful.
