Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5584 Trace

He stared at the massive fireball in the sky, his legs trembling in fear. Then, something struck him, and he scrambled out of the tavern, running towards the depths of the oasis.

....
Jian Wushuang naturally noticed this and gestured for Moluo to wait.

At that moment, Pan’an, an ordinary person who had no knowledge of cultivators’ abilities, was on his way to deliver a message to Miss Jiang. Unbeknownst to him, Miss Jiang had already abandoned them and left when Jian Wushuang first arrived.

Pan’an’s speed was not slow; in fact, it could be considered quite fast for an ordinary person.

However, he was in a hurry and didn’t notice.

It was Jian Wushuang’s slight Thought power influence that made Pan’an’s speed significantly faster. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Pan’an reached a mountain hollow formed by sand, desperately shouting for Miss Jiang to leave quickly.

But there was no response after shouting for a long time.

Jian Wushuang and Moluo descended directly, and a wall of Qi forcefully pushed away the sand hollow in front of them.

Being so close, even if hidden in the deep layers of space, they should have been discovered.

“Not good!” Jian Wushuang shouted angrily, quickly retreating.

The next moment, the ground exploded, countless beams of light shot out, and a tremendous force destroyed everything, forming a vortex directly.

If Jian Wushuang had not detected it early, he would likely have been severely injured or even perished this time.

After a tremendous force erupted, this place became a dark and desolate void, without distinction between heaven and earth.

As for the ordinary people, they didn’t even have a chance to struggle, instantly turning into ashes.

“Tsk tsk, she hasn’t gone far!” Jian Wushuang, guided by this force, quickly discovered two auras not far from this place, slowly moving.

Following the guidance of this force, Jian Wushuang didn’t hesitate and directly pursued them.

The distance was not far, and he and Moluo were fast.

As they approached, for added security, Jian Wushuang directly summoned the One Thought Universe.

The sky instantly changed; the originally dark sky turned into a dazzling starry sky, with stars twinkling!

The current One Thought Universe had an extremely broad range, twice the size of the Great Si Region, comparable to the vast worlds like the Tongtian Buddha Realm.

Jiang Shang, who still harbored some wishful thinking, instantly realized that something was wrong. Trying to exert all her strength to escape, she found that it was impossible.

Jian Wushuang placed one hand on Moluo’s shoulder and instantly appeared in front of Jiang Shang.

Buzz!

A vast and resounding noise echoed, signaling the imminent battle.

Moluo’s eye twitched, finding Jian Wushuang’s methods incredibly unfathomable.

One Thought Universe was something he had witnessed before, but the last time Jian Wushuang faced a collective attack, he didn’t feel overwhelming pressure. Now, upon closer inspection, it seemed that this universe had detached itself from the secrets of the Human Realm, becoming a Dao Arena exclusively owned by Jian Wushuang.

A movable Dao Arena – that was incredibly terrifying!

Jian Wushuang lowered his head, staring at Jiang Shang, revealing a faint smile.

In terms of seniority, she was still his niece.

If this adorable niece had only possessed mediocre strength, it would have been so much better, and there would be no need for such a grand confrontation.

Unfortunately!

In contrast to his demeanor, Jiang Shang’s face was stern and filled with resentment.

She carried a massive coffin on her back, presumably containing the sleeping Hu Qing!

“Niece, why go through all this trouble!” Jian Wushuang shook his head.

Since everyone was stuck here, he remained utterly calm.

Primarily, it was also to give face to Hu Qing.

However, Jiang Shang was unimpressed. She directly unleashed an aura no weaker than the supreme-peak, causing Jian Wushuang’s brows to furrow, feeling a bit uneasy.

His current strength could rival the top-level tier 6, even matching the peak-level tier 6. However, when facing the supreme-peak, he lacked any confidence.

Fortunately, by his side stood Moluo, a formidable force even in the supreme-peak.

“Jian Wushuang, are you even going to oppose my Master?” Jiang Shang noticed the extraordinary strength of the old man standing beside Jian Wushuang. Instead of rushing to attack, she questioned Jian Wushuang about not sparing even her life-and-death brothers.

She knew that the relationship between Master Hu Qing and Jian Wushuang was extraordinary. Otherwise, she would have revealed her inner thoughts long ago and might have personally gone to slay Jian Wushuang.

The death of her brother, she had never forgotten!

Jian Wushuang rubbed his forehead, his eyes changed, and he stared at Jiang Shang, saying, “It’s a last resort, and I hope for your understanding!”

In fact, this matter had little to do with Hu Qing himself. As long as Jiang Shang was killed, everything could be resolved.

But he couldn’t just say it outright!

That would make people accuse him of taking advantage of the situation, and Hu Qing, once awakened, might seek retribution.

Although he wasn’t a saint, he didn’t have such a malicious heart.

Using despicable means like making Jiang Shang wary of danger was beneath her.

“Haha~”

Jiang Shang laughed heartily at Jian Wushuang’s words, and a murderous intent surged in her eyes again.

“A last resort indeed. Fortunately, you’re a small-minded person. It’s not a pity to kill you!” After Jiang Shang’s words fell, her complexion suddenly changed, and even the universe seemed to boil with a single thought.

Feeling the terrifying aura, Jian Wushuang quickly retreated, and Moluo naturally stood in front of him.

The demonic flames on Moluo’s body were overwhelming, with the support of the entire universe, and his current strength was probably not weaker than the three Palace Masters of the Elder Palace.

Feeling that his own aura was even stronger than before, Moluo was also delighted. Especially when he felt that even the power of All Things was assisting him, he roared, and his aura surged again.

“Let’s get started!” Jian Wushuang’s face sank, directly commanding Moluo to take action.

He wanted to see how strong Jiang Shang could be in his injured state.

Judging purely from the aura, Jiang Shang was only at the early stage of the supreme-peak, and with the suppression of the universe, the gap with Moluo was even greater.

However, Jian Wushuang dared not underestimate Jiang Shang. After all, she was the one who could defeat and severely injure Long Yi, and there might be some means that could erupt, instantly defeating both of them.

“Be vigilant!”

At the same time, he also transmitted a message to Moluo, urging for a swift and decisive battle. It had to be fast!

Moluo nodded. Although he was unsure about the opponent’s true strength, judging from the surface aura alone, there was a significant gap between them. He felt confident, especially considering the recent surge in his own power.

“What, are you afraid to personally step into the fray?” Jiang Shang’s words carried a provocation.

However, Jian Wushuang didn’t fall for the bait. Calmly, he said, “What are you waiting for? Let’s get started!”

Boom!!!

Vigorous waves of energy scattered as the two engaged in combat.

Moluo’s aura was genuine, indeed much stronger than Jiang Shang’s. Yet, Jiang Shang’s aura was deliberately concealed. Although the speed of their confrontation was swift, in the blink of a cosmic moment, no one was faster than Jian Wushuang.

He observed keenly. When contending with Moluo, Jiang Shang showed no signs of weakness, but her aura seemed a bit unstable due to injuries.

“A bit cunning!” Jian Wushuang chuckled inwardly.

A slight miscalculation in the past had brought about such a calamity. If he allowed the opponent to grow beyond control, it would be truly disastrous.

If it weren’t for Zhen Ling’s early arrangements, he might be in real trouble now.
