Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6334: One for One

Together with the war beasts, they were ground into a pulp.

This battle had no suspense; it was won decisively, fought with precision, and retreated swiftly.

Wei Jiuxian stayed behind with the Zhanxian Guards.

Inside the ancient fortress where the three forces had gathered earlier.

"Commander, the situation by the coast has also been resolved. Lord Changfeng will be here shortly!"

Dressed in spotless white, Wei Jiuxian sat in the seat where Hua Xuejian had previously been. He nodded calmly, as if the earlier slaughter had not stirred him in the slightest.

"Have the Ten Attendants been gathered?"

A shadowy figure replied truthfully, "Number Ten is with Lord Changfeng, and the others are outside waiting for orders!"

"Good, very good!"

Wei Jiuxian nodded in satisfaction.

Today's battle had pleased him greatly.

He had taken the opportunity to eliminate the threats from the Southern Heavenly Realm and the Barbarian Lands.

As for Mangshan County, that place was a slaughterhouse!

No matter how many people were sent, it would never be enough.

Now, they could only wait-for the true mastermind to reveal themselves.

His task was already half done.

He had defended the Tang Empire, as he was supposed to.

The remaining half involved cleaning up internal affairs.

At that moment, a report came from outside: a powerful presence was approaching.

Before the words had even been fully spoken, that presence had already arrived.

It was a woman dressed in white and green robes, exuding an incredibly cold aura. On her back was a divine sword brimming with immense power.

Wei Jiuxian was slightly surprised when he saw her.

He didn't know this person!

But judging by her aura, she was far stronger than the Nascent Soul cultivators he had encountered before.

She was most likely a grand cultivator at the Divine Transformation level.

Yet, Wei Jiuxian remained calm, showing no fear.

He asked plainly, "What brings you here?"

"You are quite powerful. Despite seeing me, you have managed to remain calm. That's rare!" The cold woman unexpectedly praised Wei Jiuxian as she spoke.

This left Wei Jiuxian even more perplexed. After pondering, he thought of Baoguang Temple.

If there were two most mysterious places in the Chimu Realm, the first would be the Northern Glacier, and the second would be Baoguang Temple.

Because Baoguang Temple had a true immortal!

Furthermore, it was widely rumored that the master who founded Baoguang Temple, Fanxin, was a Huaying stage cultivator. But in Wei Jiuxian's view, this was not the case; the other party was definitely a Shenxiang stage cultivator.

Otherwise, how could he have sealed another Shenxiang stage great cultivator over a thousand years ago?

Moreover, the sealed Shenxiang stage cultivator came from the Qianzu tribe, with strength that had already reached the peak of the Shenxiang stage, just one step away from shattering the void.

Being able to seal such a person meant that this Tang Dynasty son-in-law likely already possessed the strength to shatter the void.

And the woman before him probably knew that master, Fanxin.

"Your praise is too much!" Wei Jiuxian responded with a faint smile.

The cold woman, however, rarely smiled and said, "You remind me of someone I once knew. I

was going to search your soul, but now I've changed my mind!"

"Oh?" Wei Jiuxian's lips curved into a smile as he said, "Although I haven't reached the Shenxiang stage, I have some confidence. Below Shenxiang, I am invincible; above Shenxiang, it's a one-for-one exchange!"

"Now that you've said that, you resemble him even more!" The cold woman finished

speaking, her eyes suddenly flashing, and a sharp sword gaze burst forth.

The sudden and terrifying sword energy didn't make Wei Jiuxian panic. He simply waved his hand, dispersing the sword energy.

Yet in his heart, he was deeply shocked. Just a glance had made his arm numb.

If they truly fought, he might not last three moves under her hand.

However, he had a trump card, and the one-for-one exchange at the Shenxiang stage was not just empty talk.

But this trump card wasn't something he could easily use.

"Your strength is impressive, but you're still a bit short of trading lives with a Shenxiang

stage cultivator!" The cold woman finished speaking and turned to leave.

At that moment, Wei Jiuxian stood up and asked, "May I know your name?"

"Fu Qing!"

The cold woman spoke her name, then directly broke through the air and headed straight for Mangshan County.

Wei Jiuxian chased to the entrance of the ancient castle, looking toward Mangshan County, when two more powerful auras flashed across the sky.

"The two Arhats have arrived!"

He wasn't surprised by this, as he had expected it.

The Tang Dynasty still had some trump cards, and he intended to make good use of them.

One person alone couldn't sweep away this ancient snow.

"Fanxin, you should be arriving soon!" Wei Jiuxian's eyes flashed as he gazed northward.

Northern Glacier!

The wind was biting, and this place was extremely unsuitable for mortal habitation, but it was a paradise for cultivators!

Because ancient glory was buried here.

The scene of ten thousand immortals ascending seemed like it happened just yesterday.

The perpetual snow had buried that glory beneath the glacier.

In this white world, a black-clad figure stood out sharply. His face was haggard, but his eyes

shone with a piercing light.

"More than a thousand years... It's enough. It's worth it!"

He took a step forward, directly ascending the ten-thousand-feet ice mountain.

This was the extreme north of the Northern Glacier, the highest point in the world.

From here, he looked down upon the entire Red Eyes Realm.

"Fanxin, worldly desires be gone!"

The haggard monk clasped his hands together, silently reciting a Buddhist scripture. Golden

light burst forth behind him.

A surge of power erupted from the mountaintop, and countless rays of golden light shot into

the white glacier.

As the light pierced the glacier, it caused a massive tremor.

Under the illumination of the Buddha's light, the silence of ten thousand years in this place

was shattered.

Countless cave dwellings collapsed within the glacier, and many cultivators in seclusion were startled awake. They hurriedly left their crumbling abodes and soared into the sky. Upon seeing the scene below, they all showed expressions of terror.

"Who is it? Who dares to destroy the Heavenly Mountain? Are they tired of living?"

"Damn it! I've been in seclusion for a thousand years, just grasping the mystery of breaking through to the Shenxiang stage. Who disturbed me?"

Most of these wandering cultivators, who had been in seclusion for many years, didn't head to Mangshan County. There weren't many of them, but their strength wasn't weak. Each one was

a Huaying stage cultivator.

At that moment, they all looked toward the towering ice mountain and the golden light!

"Look, it's Buddha's light!"

Above the sky, the black-clad monk paid no attention to the wandering cultivators of the Northern Glacier. Instead, he silently closed his eyes.

In the moment before closing his eyes, he took one last look at this world, recalling everything he had experienced.

Once his eyes closed, the paths of man and ghost diverged, and heaven and earth were

separated.

This man was none other than the Tang Dynasty's son-in-law, the founder of Baoguang

Temple.

If Jian Wushuang had seen him, he would have been astonished, for this man was none other

than Fanchen, who had welcomed them into Baoguang Temple!

Known as Fanchen, also called Fanxin.

Now that Fanxin and Fanchen were understood, his end had come.

When he passed away, the world grew still, and the Buddha's light vanished.

His life force drained away in an instant.

The wandering cultivators of the Northern Glacier were stunned. Did he just die like that?

They couldn't comprehend it.

If it had been a powerful force from the Heavenly Mountain, there should have been some

movement. Yet, there was none, and the man simply perished.

An inexplicable fear began to rise in their hearts.

"I feel a great terror!"
