Chapter 85: The Past of the Sword (Chichi Su’s Arc Concludes)
When Chichi Su descended the mountain this time, she didn’t say what she was going to do, and Chen An didn’t ask.
Just before leaving, Chichi Su suddenly thought of something and asked an extra question.
“Does this sword… have a name?”
Chen An was stunned, then waved his hand carelessly.
He smiled, “Since it is your sword, you should naturally name it.”
I… name it.
At this moment, Chichi Su lowered her eyes, her heart of Dao firm.
She turned and left.
The long sword in her hand trembled slightly, its tone ethereal.
She thought, then its name shall be “The Past.”
She would use this sword to cut off her past.
To be reborn.
Unknowingly, under the instigation of her inner demons and the filter of heaven’s will, she had already gone to another extreme.
…
…
After descending the mountain, Chichi Su moved swiftly.
Relying on her cultivation, far superior to her peers, and a divine weapon, not a single chief disciple from the so-called Righteous Path could withstand her for even a single move.
Chichi Su didn’t know if it was the divine weapon’s power or her own.
But none of that mattered.
What mattered was that her objective had been achieved.
In league with the Demonic Path, she successfully captured dozens of heaven’s chosen.
Most were forced, unwillingly.
However, there were a few exceptionally devoted followers who, with a mere beckoning gesture from Chichi Su, willingly followed, even turning against their former allies to help.
She beat them all up and then spread rumors, openly declaring that her Master was so-and-so, and dared anyone to ascend the mountain and challenge her.
Her intention was simple; she didn’t want to go on a killing spree, only to succeed in provoking the wrath of the sects behind these individuals.
Unfortunately, Chichi Su, new to the martial world, was still too naive, her thoughts too idealistic.
On the way to releasing the captives, the leader of the Demonic Path, along with his followers, had been tailing them. They seized the opportunity and cruelly slaughtered them all.
News spread, and the entire cultivation world was enraged.
Various sects dispatched their elite elders, colluding together to hunt down the enemy.
They prepared to join forces to execute this emerging vixen of the Demonic Path and vent their hatred.
Thus, Chichi Su, as a matter of course, returned to Chen An’s side.
She cried to Chen An, claiming that these so-called righteous individuals were nothing but hypocrites, and that she had been framed.
Chen An gave her acting skills a score of zero, but as he had said before, no matter what Chichi Su chose,
He would embrace it willingly.
…
…
On this day, the secluded cultivation ground in the deep mountains was uncharacteristically lively.
Above the valley, dozens of figures flickered past in the blink of an eye.
Some rode swords through the wind, others possessed extraordinary arcane arts, each face displaying a solemn coldness.
However, when they saw the lone figure standing at the entrance of the valley, they couldn’t help but halt.
The man stood with his hands behind his back, his posture slender and upright. Even facing such a perilous situation, his expression remained calm and composed.
The crowd exchanged glances, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.
They truly hadn’t expected to find such a remarkable individual in the remote depths of the mountains.
Just by his appearance, he was already extraordinary.
Of course, the main reason was that they could not discern the true level of this person’s cultivation.
One after another, hidden probing spells were cast, but they were like water droplets sinking into the ocean, causing not a ripple.
But no matter what, their combined strength as Nascent Soul elders, with even a Tribulation Crossing cultivator observing from the shadows, meant they had no reason to retreat without a fight.
Little did they know, the Tribulation Crossing cultivator hidden in the shadows, preparing to strike, was now frowning deeply, his expression uncertain.
Because even he could not see through the man before his eyes.
The Tribulation Crossing cultivator furrowed his brow and quietly retreated behind the others.
After a brief exchange, the two sides quickly reached an impasse.
Or rather, Chen An had no intention of negotiating at all.
He didn’t even raise an eyebrow, merely standing there quietly.
His meaning was clear: if they wanted to cause trouble for Chichi Su, they had to get past him first.
The next moment, the sky was filled with flying magical artifacts.
Someone attacked with a sword, moving like lightning, while others conjured hand seals, their arcane arts flaring brilliantly behind them.
Undoubtedly, this was an unreasonable group assault.
Chen An finally raised an eyebrow.
He thought to himself, “It’s just me attacking them all.”
…
…
Three minutes later.
The Nascent Soul cultivators, who commanded respect in the outside world and could dominate a region in Shenzhou with a casual order, were all sent flying backward, spitting blood, at speeds several times faster than their arrival.
Their faces were filled with terror and disbelief.
Fast, too fast.
They hadn’t even seen how the man had made his move.
“Terrifying!”
The Tribulation Crossing cultivator hidden in the dark pupils suddenly contracted.
He muttered “Not good” and quickly waved his hand, leading everyone to retreat rapidly.
“Peak Master Qin, what is the meaning of this?”
Someone asked, confused.
Although they had all suffered minor injuries to varying degrees, they were not yet at the point where they could not fight.
Why were they fleeing directly now?
Peak Master Qin looked at him and said sternly, “If you don’t want to die, shut your mouth!”
The other party’s face contorted with humiliation, but he suppressed his anger and did not initiate a direct confrontation.
After all, preserving their lives was the priority.
After retreating for a thousand miles, Peak Master Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing everyone still looking at each other in confusion, he frowned and explained, “It’s not that I am timid, but that person’s cultivation is so profound that even I cannot see through him. I fear he is at least at the Transformation God realm, starting!”
A Transformation God cultivator!
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, and fear gripped their hearts.
If they had known his cultivation was that high, even giving them ten times the courage would not have made them dare to act in the valley.
Someone spat in frustration, “To think that such a reclusive great master would shield a vixen of the Demonic Path! The world truly has degenerated!”
“Yes, are we just going to watch that vixen get away with it?”
The thought of the ignoble corpses of their disciples almost made their eyes bulge with rage.
“If this villain is not killed, my hatred cannot be appeased!”
Peak Master Qin said coldly, “Don’t worry. Wait until we return to our respective sects and ask our Old Ancestors to emerge from seclusion. Then, we will join forces to attack him. Are you afraid we can’t deal with him?”
A month later.
The Righteous Path Alliance returned with a vengeance.
This time, they had brought what could be considered the top cultivators in the entire cultivation world.
If not for the viciousness of Chichi Su’s actions, which incurred the wrath of heaven and humanity, the Old Ancestors would not have been disturbed from their seclusion.
As for this, Chen An was not surprised at all.
Since ancient times, when the young were defeated, the old would come. It was entirely normal.
He once again stood in front of Chichi Su.
This time, the entire world was their enemy.
The girl hid in the valley, watching the man’s back, her body starting to tremble uncontrollably.
Single-handedly confronting the entire cultivation world.
The man showed no hesitation.
And this great battle was destined to shock all cultivators and leave a profound mark in history.
It was also on this day that Chichi Su discovered.
Her Master, who had always been as strong as an immortal, could also be injured.
The next moment.
The sword, clear as water, pierced through his back.
