Chapter 403

After using the Cloud Shield to escape, I immediately unleashed the 12th sword of the Qingyun Thirteen Swords: the Glare Slash. Combined with the agility of my Lingyun Step, I frequently vanished into the terrain, only to reappear from different angles to strike. For a time, I kept them in total disarray. Although they had divine sense and could lock onto me, their sense at the Qi Condensation stage was not particularly strong. Since my movement was so rapid—constantly dipping into the canyon and emerging from unexpected places—I turned Uncle-Master Qingyun’s set of thirteen swords into something unrecognizable. My focus was on pure practicality. Unlike him, I didn't feel the need to perform an entire sword sequence; I used whichever move I needed at the moment, and I didn't care about the so-called "ultimate" technique. After an hour of fighting, the entire canyon had been reduced to rubble. There were eighteen enemies in total, and the three who had been hiding were forced out of stealth by the shockwaves of our battle. Even without divine sense, I could intuitively feel where danger lay, so I intentionally lured their attacks toward those hidden spots, making it impossible for them to remain concealed.
