Chapter 481: Chapter 4: One Sword

"Grandfather, what’s going on?"

High in the sky not far away,

a figure had appeared beside Han Qinhu.

It was clear this person had just rescued Han Qinhu from Lu Haoxuan’s grasp in the nick of time!

And that figure was none other than Shen Changchuan, who had just returned from the Nanyue Territory!

At this moment,

his voice was low and cold, his gaze sweeping like a blade toward the purple-robed young man opposite him, a hint of killing intent simmering in his eyes.

He shouldn’t have returned so quickly, as he had been comprehending the Li Family’s Gu Technique inheritance concerning the Flying Heaven-Splitting Spirit Ant along the way.

But when he was about three thousand li from Dawan Village, a Communication Talisman tore through the air, bringing an urgent message: a Cultivator at the Soul Emergence Late Stage Realm had arrived in Dawan Village, and it seemed their intentions were hostile!

Shen Changchuan recognized that Communication Talisman at a glance.

It was the very Emergency Communication Talisman he had given to his mother, Han Yue’er, when he left Dawan Village for the Tian Nan Domain!

At that moment, Shen Changchuan’s heart had sunk.

Worried that the ’Great Madam’ might be hatching some scheme, he had unhesitatingly pushed himself to his limits and rushed back at top speed.

Just as he was about to arrive, he saw from a distance the purple-robed young man grabbing his grandfather Han Qinhu’s head, preparing to use a Soul Collection Skill!

With no time to hesitate,

Shen Changchuan immediately unleashed an ordinary Divine Soul Attack Secret Skill at the Perfection level from thousands of zhang away.

The invisible impact swept through the void in an instant, stunning the purple-robed young man for a moment.

At the same time,

Shen Changchuan’s figure moved like lightning. He executed a Tier Two Body Technique at the Perfection level, crossing hundreds of zhang of empty space in an instant to rescue Han Qinhu.

Fortunately,

he had rushed with all his might and managed to arrive just in time.

Otherwise,

if he had been a step too late, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

’He would probably never have forgiven himself!’

At this very moment,

rage surged in Shen Changchuan’s heart.

The Soul Searching Technique was extremely vicious and sinister.

In a mild case, the Divine Soul would be damaged, leaving behind incurable grievous injuries. In a severe case, the Divine Soul would be annihilated, and the victim would be reduced to a walking corpse!

Thinking of this, the killing intent in his eyes grew even more intense!

"I don’t know..."

Han Qinhu’s face was pale, and his voice trembled. It was as if he had just taken a stroll before the Ghost Gate, his soul yet to settle from the shock.

"They said I took some Token, but I really didn’t!"

"I’m so old I’m about to be buried! Even if I did take it, what could I do with it other than bring disaster upon myself? I... I..."

His words became somewhat incoherent at this point, his hands gesturing uncontrollably as he tried hard to explain.

"Don’t worry, Grandfather. I believe you!"

"Step back for now. Leave this to me!"

Shen Changchuan spoke to comfort him, allowing him to calm down and retreat behind him.

Only then did Shen Changchuan turn his gaze back to the purple-robed young man not far away.

"So you’re that Shen Changchuan?"

However, before Shen Changchuan could speak,

Lu Haoxuan, clad in his long purple robe, spoke first.

At this moment, he was so furious that he began to laugh, his expression turning menacing.

"Good! Very good!"

Previously, when he heard Du Fucheng mention the name Shen Changchuan and recount his series of achievements, Lu Haoxuan hadn’t paid it any mind.

He just thought the other man had only managed to make a name for himself because he was from such a remote and backward place, where the local Cultivators’ Daoist Technique inheritances were weak. He figured Shen Changchuan had simply relied on becoming the disciple of Master Wandering Dragon, one of the Yuqing Seven Sons, to obtain an inheritance from an Immortal Sect.

That was why he could use Miaofa from the Immortal Sect to be a king among monkeys in the mountains.

If he were to leave his Immortal Sect and the core region of the Southern Great Domain and come to a backward place in the Immortal Cultivation Realm like this, he could easily do the same!

Therefore,

when he was speaking with Du Fucheng,

he didn’t take Shen Changchuan seriously at all!

Until now.

The other party had suddenly struck, rescuing the man from his grasp before he could even react!

This scene

undoubtedly caused Lu Haoxuan to suffer an unprecedented loss of face!

"I originally thought you were able to build such a great reputation in this so-called Tian Nan Domain only because you obtained an Immortal Sect Technique, which allowed you to bully the Cultivators in a backwater place like this."

"It seems now that you do have some merits after all."

Lu Haoxuan sneered.

His voice suddenly turned sharp, and his gaze toward Shen Changchuan became exceptionally vicious.

"But who gave you the nerve to provoke me?!"

"You ignorant little bastard! Today, I’ll teach you the meaning of a hierarchy of strength!"

Lu Haoxuan’s cold voice echoed between heaven and earth.

And at that same moment,

BOOM!!!

The terrifying aura of the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer Late Stage swept through the sky, and the entire sky seemed to darken in that instant!

Feeling greatly offended and having lost a massive amount of face, Lu Haoxuan’s anger now erupted like a volcano!

Without a moment’s hesitation,

Lu Haoxuan attacked directly!

BOOM!

From hundreds of zhang away, Lu Haoxuan unleashed a punch in his fury.

The immense Fist Power instantly swelled tenfold, a hundredfold, striking the void like a mountain range. With unparalleled might, it overturned heaven and earth as it surged majestically toward Shen Changchuan!

A great maelstrom churned in the sky.

Accompanied by a world-destroying, majestic momentum, the Cultivators in Dawan Village who looked up at the sky all felt as if the heavens were about to collapse!

And his reaction caused any thought Shen Changchuan had of properly explaining things, stopping to talk it out and resolve the misunderstanding, to vanish into thin air.

Although he, Shen Changchuan, preferred to value harmony,

some people

just insisted on bullying others with their power!

Utterly unreasonable and tyrannical!

And he, Shen Changchuan, was certainly no masochist who enjoyed offering a warm face to a cold backside!

"One sword!"

Shen Changchuan’s cold gaze met Lu Haoxuan’s from hundreds of zhang away. He had just spat out those two icy words.

"One sword?"

At first, Lu Haoxuan didn’t understand.

But after seeing Shen Changchuan’s confident and utterly fearless gaze, he understood the meaning.

’One sword?’

’Are you saying you can take me out in one sword strike?!’

Lu Haoxuan was stunned for only a moment before he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! I’d like to see how you’re going to defeat me with one sword strike!"

His laughter echoed between heaven and earth,

and at the same time,

Lu Haoxuan poured his Soul Emergence Eighth Layer Magical Power into this punch without reservation!

The next moment,

the world-destroying fist shadow swelled once more, its world-destroying aura enveloping all of heaven and earth!

The light in the sky was completely extinguished,

and on the ground,

everyone in Dawan Village felt the pressure from the heavens suddenly intensify severalfold!

Merely letting their gazes touch the fist shadow that blotted out the sky gave them the feeling that their very souls were being crushed to dust by an unstoppable force!

Faced with such a terrifying punch,

Shen Changchuan’s expression did not change in the slightest.

Just as the fist shadow, which seemed capable of shattering the very canopy of heaven, descended, he formed a sword with his fingers, and a brilliant beam of sword light shot out from their tips.
