"Long time no see, Shangwu."

The person blocking his way was his former teacher, who had once taken him as a disciple at the Kaitian Academy.

Slightly dazed, Shangwu snapped back to reality and looked at the other two familiar figures.

"Qi Jie, Han Jisheng."

The other two members of the former Disaster Slayer Team are also here, and they also exude the aura of Venerables.

"Martial spirit..."

The three men formed a triangular formation, surrounding Shangwu, clearly not intending to let him leave.

Qin Sheng and others had discussed dealing with various difficult believers.

Yu Rui found a good way to deal with it, but Shang Wu was more difficult to handle.

He was different from Yu Rui. Although the latter was extremely powerful, she relied too much on blood before her domain was formed.

If one could find abilities like Caesar's, one could effectively restrain oneself.

However, Shangwu relies on his sword, and he has reached the point where everything can be a sword. He can unleash 200% of his power from any tree branch or even the air.

He is truly strong, and there's no way to solve this by using tricks.

So there were three people who came here to surround him.

Delay him.

Shang Wu glanced at the three men and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air: "Gentlemen, I don't want to fight you. How about we pretend we didn't see each other?"

Qi Jie held a familiar baseball bat in his hand. Even though he had become a Venerable One, the baseball bat had only been replaced with a living weapon.

Han Jisheng also shook his head slightly, holding two daggers in his hands.

"Shangwu, I knew you were a genius when I learned that you had comprehended the sword intent."

Shangwu's teacher spoke, looking at him with a complicated expression: "Later, you were the first to propose completing the path of cultivation, and you comprehended the Sword Domain at a very early age."

"To be honest, you could be considered half the creator of the current cultivation system."

Shangwu produced a long sword and slowly swept it across the ground.

"You flatter me, teacher. Without your guidance, I would not have been able to grasp the essence of the realm so quickly and touch upon its existence."

"Yeah."

He took out a longsword, a very ordinary one, except that his name was engraved at the end.

The western clouds are setting.

This was a gift that Shang Wu and Xu Ruiling gave him when he became his disciple.

Looking at this longsword now, Luo Xiyun didn't know how to face it.

A moment later, Luo Xiyun slowly manipulated the longsword and flew towards Shangwu.

There was no intention to attack; he was simply handed back to Shangwu very calmly.

“I can understand your choice. Now that we have different positions, it’s time to see if you have completed your training.”

As Shang Wu caught the longsword, Luo Xiyun's words rang out.

"I understand, teacher."

Shangwu was deeply saddened, but when he closed his eyes, Xu Ruiling's image appeared in his mind.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Shangwu understood the profound meaning of these words, and even more so, the cruelty behind them!

He'd probably be condemned to death for murdering his master.

With a bitter smile, Shangwu concealed his thoughts. Regret might arise in the future, but for now, he had to obey Qin Sheng's orders.

"Shangwu, how is Yu Rui doing now?"

Qi Jie began to speak, but paused halfway through, perhaps sensing the difficulty of differing perspectives, but ultimately continued.

"It's alright. Although she's a bit busy, she really enjoys her life now," Shangwu told Qi Jie without hesitation.

Han Jisheng then spoke up: "Perhaps you can choose to lay down your sword and surrender. We are not necessarily enemies."

“If you don’t stop me, I naturally won’t fight you.”

Unfortunately, the three of them showed no intention of moving aside.

"It seems inevitable, but I have a question."

Shang Wu wiped his longsword and asked, "Where did Qin Sheng go?"

"Ha, that acting talent, how would we know?"

Qi Jie spoke in a sarcastic tone, which suggested he had indeed matured; otherwise, he would have directly started cursing.

Han Jisheng also shook his head.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say."

Shangwu received no answer, but the voice in his mind kept urging him on.

Even though he sensed something was amiss, he took action immediately.

Because he can take action himself, he can also secretly conserve his strength, temporarily crippling their ability to move, so he can leave directly.

But if you force that voice in your head to control your actions, it's hard to say whether you'll hold back.

A wisp of icy mist enveloped the surroundings at this moment. Instead of using the Condensed Domain, Shangwu unfolded the Iceless Sword Domain.

Suddenly, the cold air seemed to carry the aura of swords, making them feel a stinging pain with every breath.

At this moment, Shang Wu's gaze changed slightly, and he suddenly turned his head.

An invisible longsword severed a few strands of his hair before vanishing again.

This ability clearly doesn't belong to Qi Jie or Han Jisheng; it can only be Luo Xiyun's!

Qin Sheng did not reach a conclusion as to who would deal with Shang Wu; it was Elder Ren who suggested that they would find someone to stall and deal with him.

Luo Xiyun was the person they were confident they could use to hold off Shangwu.

It's not because of his identity, but because of the superpower he awakened!

Although Luo Xiyun is a veteran King-level expert and has comprehended sword intent, he achieved the title of King-level expert early on and is no longer able to condense the seed of sword intent.

Unable to grasp the field.

But his supernatural ability gave this master, who had been immersed in swordsmanship for many years, an opportunity!

The invisible sword he just saw was the superpower he had comprehended, and after absorbing enough characteristic fragments, he successfully reached the pinnacle under guidance!

Luo Xiyun lived up to his title as a master swordsman.

With special instruction from Master Ren, he learned about the existence of domain formation and mastered domain formation a little over a month ago!

That silent, invisible sword just now was his condensed domain taking shape!

Although he dodged it, Shangwu's face showed an unusual seriousness.

Watching the stray hairs quickly break into pieces in his palm, even though the attack had ended, he was still tormented by the sword energy.

If he were to suffer a blow himself, his fighting strength would probably be reduced by more than half!

An invisible chill quickly filled the entire space, and sharp sword energy permeated every inch of the air.

Shangwu was clearly prepared to take this seriously.

"That's right."

Luo Xiyun held an invisible sword in his hand, his brows revealing a sense of majesty.

"Remember, I am your teacher, and also a swordsman."

"Going all out is the most basic respect we can show each other!"

Shangwu took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Teacher, make your move."

Qi Jie and Han Jisheng silently took a few steps back, but were still on guard against Shang Wu suddenly leaving.

They did not intend to interfere in the fight between the master and disciple.

Respect is one aspect, but the other is a lack of ability.

Although they tried their best to catch up with Ye Bufan and the others, the gap between them widened.

Becoming a Venerable One was already the result of their best efforts, yet they still failed to comprehend the domain.

However, their presence here implies that they are not here specifically to watch the show.

There are arrangements made by Mr. Ren.
