Legend of Swordsman

4207 Breaking Into the City

“Blood Sword, I see that you’re only a fifth stage Ruler. This cultivation level is fine in the outside universe, but it’s quite dangerous on the ancient path of stars filled with prodigies. Therefore, I advise you to join our rogue cultivator alliance. We’re made up of ordinary Rulers like you and me who have no roots or are weak. On the ancient path of stars, we can look out for each other and have an extra layer of protection. What do you think?”

After saying that, Ruler Wu Hai pointed to the distance. Jian Wushuang looked in the direction he pointed and saw more than 20 Ultimate Rulers with ordinary auras smiling and nodding at Jian Wushuang in a friendly manner.

Jian Wushuang withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Ruler Wu Hai. However, I don’t think I’ll be able to join you. I’ve always been a loner and I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for me to integrate into the group.”

“Blood Sword, we’re easy to get along with. If you don’t join us, how do you know you won’t be able to blend in?” Ruler Wu Hai said hurriedly.

Before he could finish, Jian Wushuang waved his hand and sat down with his legs crossed. He slowly closed his eyes and started to cultivate.

Seeing that, Ruler Wu Hai knew that Jian Wushuang was driving him away. he sighed and said, “You’re on your own then, Blood Sword.”

After waiting for a while, Ruler Wu Hai did not get any reply from Jian Wushuang. He shook his head and left.

After Wu Hai left, Jian Wushuang slowly opened his eyes and a sneer appeared on his face.

Did he think that Jian Wushuang was a fool who had never seen the world?

….

The twenty-plus ordinary Ultimate Rulers were off in the distance.

“Wu Hai, that brat refused to join us?”

“Failed?”

This group of ordinary Ultimate Rulers frowned and asked.

“Hmph, this kid is lucky.” Ruler Wu Hai’s face turned gloomy and his eyes flickered with malevolence. His previous kind and honest appearance had completely disappeared.

The twenty of them knew that they would not be able to perform well on the ancient road of stars and were not the opponents of the geniuses. Thus, they joined forces and killed newcomers like Jian Wushuang at the entrance of the first city.

The strategy he used was similar to what he had used to deceive Jian Wushuang. He took advantage of the newbies’ desire to find a group and lure them into the ancient road of stars. After that, they joined forces to kill them.

“Let’s go to the next one.”

With a kind and honest smile on his face again, Ruler Wu Hai walked toward a newcomer in the distance who looked apprehensive.

“Your Excellency, may I know how to address you?” As if he had seen Jian Wushuang, Ruler Wu Hai said with a smile and a kind light flickering in his eyes.

…

“The ancient path of stars really is filled with all sorts of people.” Jian Wushuang sighed with emotion.

In the distance, the newbie who had been deceived by Ruler Wu Hai was following him excitedly. He walked into the crowd and was then led away.

Jian Wushuang could not help shaking his head. He was not a newbie who had just traveled the universe, so he naturally knew what was going on.

“Whoosh!”

At that moment, Jian Wushuang saw a middle-aged Ultimate Ruler who was sitting not far away from him. He took a step forward and walked toward the first city’s city gate.

“Someone wants to challenge the people in the city again. Have they entered the city?”

Ruler Qing Lin has already stayed at the first city’s entrance for three thousand years. He must be confident that he would win this time.

“Hahaha, in my opinion, the people in this city should be changed.”

Many people who were cultivating around them saw this scene and started to discuss in low voices.

Jian Wushuang’s eyes flickered. It seemed that the situation here was not much different from what the Ninth Kalpa King had said. The number of people in the first city was fixed. If he wanted to enter the city and continue to walk toward the back, he would have to squeeze out the people in the city and take their place.

As everyone discussed, they looked at the stone tablet that recorded the rankings.

Not long after, the stone tablet suddenly glowed with a golden light, and the ranking changed.

[1st Place: Bone Insect]

[2nd Place: Mu Chong]

…

[1000th Place: Qing Lin!]

Then, Jian Wushuang saw a skinny old man fly out of the city with a terrible look on his face.

This person must have been originally ranked 1000.

In other words, this person’s seat had been taken by the middle-aged Ruler.

The scrawny old man glanced at the first city unwillingly. Without saying anything, he sat down cross-legged with a dark expression and began to cultivate.

Golden light flickered on the stone stele as the Ruler Qing Lin’s ranking continued to rise, only stopping when he reached the center.

This scene immediately caused a wave of gasps to ring out from outside the first city’s gates.

“632nd place!”

“Ruler Qing Lin is in for it this time!”

The laws and regulations in that city are far more concentrated than those outside. Perhaps Ruler Qing Lin will have the opportunity to attack the second city!

Time passed slowly. Jian Wushuang was not in a hurry to break into the city. instead, he watched quietly.

During this time, Jian Wushuang saw many people trying to break into the city. However, most of them failed and only a few succeeded.

What was worth mentioning was that Ruler Wu Hai had also gone to the city and succeeded. His ranking was not low either, even slightly higher than that of Ruler Qing Lin, ranking him at 518th place.

As for the newbie who was taken away by Wu Hai, Jian Wushuang never saw him again.

A few days later, Jian Wushuang stood up and walked toward the city gate expressionlessly.

After a few days of observation, he had completely understood the rules of the ancient path of stars, so there was no need for him to sit here and waste time.

“Eh? A fifth-stage chief Ruler?”

“A fifth-stage Ruler barging into a city? That’s quite rare.”

“Who is this fifth stage chief Ruler?”

Some of the Ultimate Rulers outside the city let out soft cries of surprise upon seeing this.

As for the people from the Rogue cultivator Alliance, their eyes narrowed and they sneered.

“Isn’t this the kid who rejected us back then?”

“It seems like this kid is quite confident in himself.”

“Humph! Hope this person doesn’t meet Wu Hai in his heart. Otherwise…hahaha, I’m afraid this person won’t be able to come out alive.”

With a calm expression, Jian Wushuang walked toward the city gate step by step. With a low muffled sound, the city gate opened and Jian Wushuang stepped in.

“Rumble!”

The city gate slowly closed and Jian Wushuang’s figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The crowd outside the city gate raised their heads and looked at the stone tablet outside the city gate with interest.

It was rare to see a fifth stage Ruler barging into a city.
