Escaped for Years: I Can't Defeat Anyone

After his family was annihilated, Xu Jiujun fled for ten years before encountering his paternal uncle. With almost zero talent, he followed his uncle in cultivation for ten years with no progress w...

Chapter 115 Painting

"Excalibur?" Xu Jiujun frowned slightly and asked, "And then?"

Yun Yingyue's frown deepened even more than Xu Jiujun's. She said slowly, "That divine sword brought a young man with it. His appearance gradually tilted the balance of victory on the battlefield towards us."

"He is very strong. His sword is a little stronger than mine in my dream, but he can kill monsters as easily as cutting vegetables and kill enemies as easily as drinking water."

"In the dream, I was completely helpless against large monsters and could only kill small ones. But in the boy's eyes, these monsters couldn't stop him at all."

"Until a huge black hand descended from the void and easily pinned the boy to the ground."

"Just as the young man was about to be wiped out, he suddenly rose up and fought back, severing the giant black hand. Furthermore, dozens of even more powerful monsters fell from the sky..."

"And I don't know what happened, but my cultivation suddenly skyrocketed. I fought against the monsters together with the young man, and we kept charging and killing."

"But the dream suddenly ended."

“I don’t know the final outcome…”

"But I think I should kill these monsters."

After hearing Yun Yingyue's words, Xu Jiujun's face became a little solemn. The boy she saw in her dream and the boy she saw in the treasure house, are they the same person?

Recent experiences may seem unrelated, but everything points to the same thing, and it's an old story.

And the protagonist of these old stories is the young man!

Sword Master?

What kind of person is he? What does his existence represent? Why has he appeared in my ears so frequently recently?

And there is Yun Yingyue. When she was in the cave, who was borrowing her body and was able to freeze the time and space in the cave with one sword?

This level of strength is at least above that of a saint.

"What's wrong with you?" Yun Yingyue saw Xu Jiujun's worried face, and she couldn't help but feel worried too.

"I'm fine, it's just that too many things have happened recently, and my mind feels messy." Xu Jiujun shook his head and said.

"Don't think too much. Even if the dream is real, it happened in the past. Don't dwell on the past wars. We should improve our own cultivation."

"If another monster appears, we won't be helpless."

"Focus on the present and the future. Don't let these things get you into trouble and cause you to have inner demons." Yun Yingyue advised in a low voice. She was afraid that Xu Jiujun would become devastated after facing the powerful monster.

"Don't worry, just because I couldn't beat him then doesn't mean I won't be able to beat him in the future."

"Besides, if I can't kill the monsters in the cave, they can't kill me either."

"It's a draw at best!"

"Yes, yes, Master Xu is the most powerful and invincible in the world." Yun Yingyue couldn't help but teased.

The two of them were chatting and laughing like this, which made Zhu Yijie in the corner depressed.

"Oh no, Brother Xu, is this really okay for you? I'm still here..."

"What's wrong with you here? It's just a normal joke, what's wrong with that?" Xu Jiujun asked puzzledly.

"......" What Xu Jiujun thought was a joke, in Zhu Yijie's eyes, was just a love story. For him, who couldn't get the love he wanted, it was so painful.

"I'm leaving. Is it okay if I leave?"

Seeing Zhu Yiji leaving, Xu Jiujun began to plunder the treasures left by the old emperor.

When Zhu Yijie was looking for fragments before, he only looked for fragments and didn't take anything else.

According to the booklet, Xu Jiujun found a secret room, which contained some calligraphy and paintings, all of which were works of masters.

"Well, 'Peace in the World', this is well written." Xu Jiujun said, pointing to a plaque.

"If it's good, take it back and hang it up." Yun Yingyue also started to look through it to see if there were any good words written.

"This thing is not suitable to be hung in the sect. Besides, my handwriting is not bad, okay!" Xu Jiujun was searching when he suddenly saw a red scroll.

When I opened it, I found a painting of a beautiful woman. But the more I looked at her, the more familiar she looked...

"Yingyue, have you asked someone to paint your portrait?" Xu Jiujun asked.

"No, what's wrong?" Yun Yingyue asked while searching, puzzled.

"Look at this person. Does he look like you?" Xu Jiujun showed the painting to Yun Yingyue. Yun Yingyue took a look and immediately gasped: "Hiss... This doesn't look like me now. It looks more like me when I was fifteen or sixteen..."

"Aren't there words here?" Yun Yingyue pointed at the two lines of words in the lower right corner of the painting.

One line had the word "dream" written on it, the other line had "Wu Bai" written on it, and underneath was a red seal.

"If Wu Bai is a painter, what does this dream mean?" Xu Jiujun murmured, "Could it be that this is what he dreamed of?"

"It's possible that this should be the name of the painting, not the name of the person in the painting." Yun Yingyue said.

"Hey, that's quite interesting. I haven't met you, but I can dream about you and even draw you completely. You must be a master." Xu Jiujun couldn't help but admire.

"You're right. Even for those of us who practice Taoism, it's difficult to remember everything we dream about when we dream of someone we've never met."

"Perhaps he forgot some details and added them on his own?"

"I think we shouldn't discuss this painting here. Take them all back and take your time choosing." Xu Jiujun put all the calligraphy and paintings into the storage ring, but Yun Yingyue reached out and said, "Give it to me."

"What?" Xu Jiujun didn't react.

"Draw me my painting!" Yun Yingyue said.

"I'll get it for you when I get back." After saying that, Xu Jiujun took Yun Yingyue back to Zizaitian.

I don’t know why, but Yun Yingyue suddenly became fascinated by this painting.

After Xu Jiujun took out the painting, he ran away with it.

Just at this moment, several streaks of light flew in from the distant sky. Xu Jiujun squinted his eyes and watched the streaks of light getting closer and closer, and his nuclear-powered body exploded instantly.

"Master Xu! Wait a minute!" A familiar voice came, and Xu Jiujun dispersed his nuclear body. It turned out to be Yu Wuhen.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the disciples following Yu Wuhen, Xu Jiujun asked curiously.

"It's not time for the exchange yet, and it seems like there aren't enough people here."

"That's not the matter, Sect Leader Xu." Yu Wuhen explained, "Something happened in the upper realm."

Yu Wuhen said, pointing to the sky: "Do you know about the extraterritorial divine war in ancient times?"

"I've heard something about it, what's the matter?" Xu Jiujun nodded. It was Xuanyu who told him about this matter, and how could he forget such a big thing?

"The remnants from outside the domain are here again!"

"Remnants from outside the domain? Didn't we cut off all contact with the outside world back then? Could it be that the remnants from outside the domain have found our location?"

"The connection between the outer domain and our world has long been restored, but there are powerful human beings resisting on the battlefield outside the domain."
