Supreme Emptiness

The five Myriad Swords Sect disciples hurriedly stopped in their tracks.

Their expressions frozen as they gazed at the scene before them.

They saw three groups of people taking over…

No, the entire Sword Forest, the best three cultivation spots.

This was a place where Myriad Swords Sect disciples often came.

Because the Sword Qi and Spiritual Energy here were the most concentrated.

Especially with those two broken swords left by the Supreme Elder, cultivating beside them was like receiving divine aid.

They had diverted the other sect's disciples.

Just to monopolize these two top-grade spots.

But who knew.

Someone actually stole them!

"Junior Brother Ling, what do we do?"

A female disciple asked anxiously, "Are we really going to use the remaining cultivation spots?"

The last two spots.

Were even worse than those at the Green Cloud Sect's disciples' locations.

Ling Guihai snapped out of it.

He had never expected someone would steal from him!

He looked closely and became angrier: "It's you?"

That person was none other than the No.1 Shadow Guard who had caused him to be punished!

Jiang Fan slowly opened his eyes, revealing a smile, and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Ling, for diverting the other sect's disciples."

"Only then could we freely choose a spot here."

These words, killing someone by hitting their heart, made Ling Guihai furious!

"You scoundrel, you didn't hide, and you still dare to snatch the Myriad Swords Sect disciples' spots?"

"Get out!"

"Or else, you'll regret it!"

The cultivating disciples were awakened one after another.

Seeing Ling Guihai angry.

Nie Yunxi shivered in fear, her eyelids kept twitching.

It seemed that the top-grade spot was not so easy to occupy.

Everyone present here was in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Ling Guihai, a core-formation elite, was like a king in the Sword Forest.

No one could provoke him.

The top-grade spot that Jiang Fan occupied seemed unlikely to be defended.

Ji Ruyue was also startled. She quickly tried to mediate: "Junior Brother Ling, first come first served, let him..."

She had thought that relying on her relationship with Ling Guihai.

She could earn some face.

But she underestimated Ling Guihai's hatred towards Jiang Fan. He snorted:

"You from Desires Sect still want to cultivate in that top-grade spot, shut up!"

These words left Ji Ruyue both angry and helpless.

She lacked the ability, and her words held no weight.

Ling Guihai then glared at Jiang Fan, saying, "Do you think being here first makes it yours?"

"Let me tell you, this is the Sword Forest, Myriad Swords Sect, my territory!"

"If I tell you to leave, you leave!"

Xu Yining couldn't help but worry.

She whispered, "How about we give in?"

If for a piece of land Jiang Fan was harmed by Ling Guihai, she would feel insufferable guilt.

And she would have no heart for cultivation.

But Jiang Fan gently waved his hand, calmly saying, "I claimed this spot with my ability."

"If others want it, they have to take it by ability."

Hearing this.

Ling Guihai laughed angrily: "Do you really think some subpar swordsmanship makes you arrogant in front of me, Ling Guihai?"

"Our Myriad Swords Sect are the ancestors of swordsmanship!"

"Who do you think you are?"

"I'll give you three breaths' time, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

He raised three fingers.

He hadn't even started counting.

Jiang Fan already counted for him, "One, two, three."

"Done."

Clang—

Ling Guihai felt deeply provoked, decisively drew his sword, and roared, "Don't cry until you see the coffin!"

"I'll fulfill your wish!"

He immediately employed a high-level Profound swordsmanship technique.

And slashed at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan quietly stood up.

He walked out of the cultivation spot.

To avoid damaging the cultivation spot in the fight later.

"Against you, swordsmanship isn't needed."

He faced him empty-handed, and his blood surged inside.

The Poison Pill was unlocked.

Strands of poison blended into his Spiritual Power.

He struck at Ling Guihai from a distance.

Ling Guihai immediately felt an evil gust and became alert.

The slashing sword retracted to his front, forming whirlpools that dispersed the Spiritual Power.

"Petty tricks!"

Seeing no danger, Ling Guihai sneered.

Until he heard hissing noises around his ears, he realized his beloved mid-grade long sword was corroding with burnt black marks.

His expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "You have trained in Poison Technique?"

He quickly tore a piece of cloth to wipe off the poison.

But the sword was already full of pits and hollows, in a semi-destroyed state.

He felt both heartbroken and furious: "You destroyed my Magic Artifact!"

"You're courting death!"

"Canghai's Sword!"

His Spiritual Power surged, fully revealing the second level of the Core Formation cultivation.

The most powerful strike of his swordsmanship was unleashed.

The air trembled!

Even Nie Yunxi, watching from afar, held her breath, feeling the immense pressure from a Core Formation strike!

Xu Yining's body tensed up, sensing the suffocating power.

Jiang Fan remained calm.

His strength was similar to during the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion auction.

Almost no improvement.

Back then, if Jiang Fan faced Ling Guihai, he wouldn't be able to fight back at all.

Now, it was different.

He didn't even use the body technique of the "Heavenly Battle Nine Forms".

He simply fully unleashed the Poison Pill.

He raised his powerful palms and struck fiercely.

"Dragon Elephant Battle Body!"

He roared.

His palms burst with immense power.

Like a raging elephant roaring to the heavens.

It was imposing and terrifying.

Ling Guihai, who was close by, was shocked by the strength in the palms, nearly dropping his sword.

Immediately.

The unimaginable force descended like a mountain, fiercely hitting his sword.

In an instant, the sword was sent flying.

His hands, like dragons gliding into the sea, struck his chest directly.

Bang—

Ling Guihai was like he was truly hit by a wild elephant.

He was sent flying instantly.

The speed was like a meteor, leaving a series of afterimages in the air.

He crashed into a large section of Sword Forest before finally stopping, lying on the ground coughing blood incessantly.

The depression in his chest indicated he had suffered a serious injury.

He completely lost his fighting ability.

Jiang Fan said calmly, "Your strength doesn't match your arrogance."

"You have no power to take this top-grade spot."

After finishing.

He returned to Xu Yining's side and closed his eyes to continue cultivating.

The surroundings were silent.

Nie Yunxi rubbed her eyes, doubting what she saw.

A Foundation Establishment martial artist, just using body strength, made Ling Guihai cough blood?

Ling Guihai was a genuine second-level Core Formation Realm martial artist!

And he practiced swordsmanship.

He was truly an offensive-type martial artist.

Yet...he was instantly defeated?

She looked at Jiang Fan's back and couldn't help but gasp.

The friend Xu Yining met, who was this mysterious person?

Even the chief disciples of each sect weren't this terrifying, right?

Ji Ruyue squinted her lips, gloating: "He deserved it."

Then she quietly went back to cultivating.

Xu Yining saw Jiang Fan taking direct action for the first time.

This refreshed her understanding of the No.1 Shadow Guard's strength.

At the same time, she quietly felt fortunate to be with Jiang Fan.

With him here, she truly didn't have to worry about anything.

Ling Guihai's painful face was full of horror.

Wasn't the Sword Forest for Foundation Establishment cultivators?

But the attack from the No.1 Shadow Guard just now, was unlike anything a Foundation Establishment disciple should have.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

His face was full of reluctance.

When he noticed the top-grade broken sword near Jiang Fan, he suddenly realized something.

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

Jiang Fan opened his eyes, frowned: "I just injured you; I didn't feed you Madness Medicine."

Ling Guihai laughed even more wildly, "Hahaha!"

"I'm laughing at your bad luck."

"There are only two top-grade spots, and you chose the one you shouldn't have."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan frowned, staring at him.

Ling Guihai continued with a taunting face, "Not afraid to tell you, that sword next to you."

"Is left by the first Supreme Elder who created the Sword Control Technique."

"To cultivate beside his sword, you need the same source of Sword Qi."

"Otherwise, after long cultivation, you'll be repelled by the Sword Qi."

The five Myriad Swords Sect disciples suddenly understood.

"Indeed, I nearly forgot this part."

"We can cultivate here because we brought a Jade Pendant with a strand of Sword Qi from Supreme Elder Xu Qingyang."

"How could an outer sect disciple find the same source of Sword Qi?"

After hearing this.

Xu Yining's face turned ugly.

So this top-grade spot actually has such a background?

She really felt a faint prickling pain in her body.

Like the Sword Qi was rejecting her.

Ling Guihai mocked, "Scoundrel, if you're smart, then get lost."

"This place is only for Myriad Swords Sect disciples."

"If you keep being stubborn, you'll only suffer."

What an unexpected turn!

This place still belonged to their Myriad Swords Sect disciples.

But.

Jiang Fan showed a strange smile:

"According to you, as long as you cultivated the Sword Control Technique, it's fine?"
