"What... What is that?!" the Nanjun County Prince stared ahead in shock, his eyes pained by the brilliant white light.
From within that dazzling white light, he felt a sword momentum that was earth-shattering!
Could that mean it was some kind of sword technique?
Which cultivator could have caused such a disturbance?
In the Great Demon Forbidden Land, there were hardly any living people to begin with, so where did a cultivator come from?
And also, a cultivator proficient in swordplay?
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, the Nanjun County Prince remembered, Fan Wu seemed to be carrying an exaggeratedly large sword on his back.
In other words, Fan Wu was skilled in sword techniques.
Could it be Fan Wu?!
After the radiant sword light vanished from sight, the Nanjun County Prince’s thoughts were far from calm; he still felt waves of heart palpitations.
At the same time, he also felt a strange itch all over his skin.
This caused him to suppress his thoughts of shock while incessantly scratching himself.
"Strange," the Nanjun County Prince scratched with increasing force, his face full of surprise, "Previously, wasn’t it only when you were especially close to the core of the Great Demon Forbidden Land that you would feel this bizarre itching? Why am I feeling it now?"
The strength with which he scratched his skin had already torn several gashes in his clothes.
His nails had penetrated the fabric and reached his skin, immediately leaving several marks.
The skin scored by his nails flared with pain, but he didn’t mind it; instead, he felt that the pain could suppress the itching.
Even though he found the sudden itching strange, he didn’t think it was anything serious.
Because he was already used to it.
"Eh... Bleeding again." Feeling his skin being scratched open and his fingertips wet with warmth, the Nanjun County Prince frowned and muttered, "Why does everything feel so strange ever since I encountered this guy named Fan Wu?"
He shook his head, clearing his mind of those thoughts, and while moving in a certain direction, he proceeded cautiously yet hurriedly towards where the brilliant sword light had been.
Not long after.
The Nanjun County Prince saw a huge sword scar carved deep into the bare, steep mountain cliff ahead, with a faint red glow lingering within.
As if the slash that created it also carried searing heat, turning the soil and rocks on the cliffside into glowing red magma.
It was awe-inspiring!
Was that really a slash from Fan Wu? But that guy didn’t seem to have any mana, did he? How could he have managed to make such an astonishing slash? The Nanjun County Prince was entirely baffled.
It couldn’t possibly be that with mere brute strength he was able to forcefully make such a slash, right?
What a joke?
That sounded far too absurd and completely illogical.
Perhaps...
I’m overthinking it?
The Nanjun County Prince shook his head, dismissing all the wild thoughts in his mind, and murmured to himself as he stared at the giant sword scar on the cliff, "Seeing no corpses of any monstrous creatures, doesn’t that mean his slash turned the creatures into dust, completely annihilated?"
The more he thought about it, the more he shuddered.
For some reason, he began to feel a headache looming, particularly as he remembered how back at Hanling Temple, he had taken a chop from Fan Wu’s hand on his forehead.
Had he survived Fan Wu’s hand because his life was too big at that time? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
While one hand continued to scratch the itch, the other touched the top of his head.
The Nanjun County Prince grumbled, "Young man doesn’t know his own strength, and how swiftly does this guy move!"
He felt his aged arms and legs struggling to keep up with Fan Wu.
...
Elsewhere.
Fan Wu flicked a dab of eerie mucus off his arm with a snap; he had killed a significant number of monstrous creatures along the way, even if some were no match for the cultivators of the Fu Clan or the envoys from the Great Yan Dynasty...
But their sheer number was sufficient! A large quantity was enough - sometimes, numbers truly could compensate for quality.
Throughout his journey, Fan Wu was constantly calculating his gain in Free Attribute Points.
He realized his yield of Free Attribute Points had already reached 7 points!
Adding that to the balance of 12 Free Attribute Points...
Together, that was a balance of 19 Attribute Points!
After many days, Fan Wu once again became a significant holder of Free Attribute Points, his pocket of Free Attribute Points...
Was about to break through the significant milestone of 20.
Not easy, indeed!
No sooner had Fan Wu sighed with the words "Not easy" than he suddenly realized that this trip seemed rather effortless for him.
These monstrous creatures were no match for him.
If one punch didn’t take care of a creature, then it would get a taste of his sword over its head.
It would always burst open!
However.
Inside the Great Demon Forbidden Land, it was as the Nanjun County Prince had said – this place rarely had any living beings other than plants and trees. After killing so many creatures, Fan Wu found that the frequency of encountering them had decreased significantly compared to before.
