A woodcutter? Chopping wood? When they heard Jiang Liu’s words, everyone felt their hearts stop. They almost spat out blood.

  If he was someone who did not know swordsmanship, then what was everyone else? Were they all just idiots?

  Behind Jiang Liu, Xiao Chengfeng was incredibly stunned as he looked at Jiang Liu’s back.

  How strong!

  Jiang Liu would normally never reveal his true strength. He never expected Jiang Liu’s ability to show off was so amazing and well-practiced.

  When he did it, it was always forced. Meanwhile, Jiang Liu showed off by being humble. Jiang Liu was at a much higher level than himself.

  The way Jiang Liu showed off left an even deeper expression. Jiang Liu was beginning to seem like the expert.

  “No wonder he chops wood for the expert. Even in showing off, he’s somehow way better than I am.” Xiao Chengfeng could not help but feel a wave of tremendous pressure.

  Jiang Liu’s words sounded like a complete insult in the red-clothed man’s ears. The man immediately had a cold glint in his eyes. He held the Sky Melting Sword and rushed at Jiang Liu again!

  “Die!

  “Sword river!” The swords exploded as blood-red light filled the sky. It also slashed a massive hole in the sky.

  Jiang Liu remained unmoving. His ripped clothes swayed lightly as he slashed with his sword calmly as usual.

  “Ha!”


  The red-clothed man’s sword river was cut through. Their two swords once again clashed with each other.

  The red-clothed man’s eyes glared at Jiang Liu viciously as the Sky Melting Sword started to move toward the sword in Jiang Liu’s hand.

  It remained defiant, wanting to absorb Jiang Liu’s swordsmanship.

  Yet, Jiang Liu remained unmoving.

  “How’s this possible?!”


  The red-clothed man was thoroughly shocked to the core.

  The Sky Melting Sword might be a sword, but it was able to absorb more than just swords. It could even absorb other forms of wisdom and turn it into a sword.

  It was the first time he had ever encountered an opponent that could not be absorbed.

  Jiang Liu was not bothered with what the man was thinking. He did not waste any time in moving away from the Sky Melting Sword. He then slashed his sword down again.

  Pang!

  The red-clothed man was sent flying. His hands were numb as he looked at Jiang Liu with unending shock.

  What kind of a monster was that person? Even the Sky Melting Sword was not able to absorb his swordsmanship. Furthermore, it looks like an incredibly ordinary strike, but it still caused him to feel like he could not escape it.

  The moment he slashed the sword down, the red-clothed man felt like he had become a piece of wood, unable to move.

  Suddenly, he thought of a certain possibility.

  It was that Jiang Liu’s swordsmanship was even higher than the Sky Melting Sword, which was why the Sky Melting Sword could not absorb it.

  Only… How was that possible?

  How strong must that man be?

  The other swordsmen were even more shocked at the scene. They looked at Jiang Liu with reverence.

  Even the two lords of the Divine Sword Mountain were unable to deal with the red-clothed man, but Jiang Liu had actually managed to send the man flying. That was enough to prove Jiang Liu’s skill.

  Jiang Liu was truly someone from the Ancient Forbidden Zone. He was so terrifying. Even Xiao Chengfeng was hiding behind him willingly. The Divine Sword Mountain’s lord politely said to Jiang Liu, “Thank you for your help, friend.” The second lord said with sincere respect, “Your swordsmanship is firm and resolute. You only need one slash to cut through every technique in the world. You’ve really opened my eyes.”


  The lord pleaded, “Friend, please, help us kill this person. The Divine Sword Mountain will be immensely thankful.”


  “He definitely needs to be killed, but the Sky Melting Sword’s mine,” Jiang Liu said plainly.

  The Sky Melting Sword?

  The two lords raised their eyebrows at the same time, obviously unwilling.

  Everyone had seen what made the Sky Melting Sword so special. It could be said that it was the nightmare of every swordsman in the world. If it fell into the hands of a man like the red-clothed man, it would be a calamity.

  The lord said, “The Sky Melting Sword’s evil. I think it’d be better if we sealed it in the Divine Sword Mountain forever. What do you need it for?”


  The second lord said, “The Sky Melting Sword has smelted the swords on our mountain. We’d hope that it doesn’t leave the Divine Sword Mountain.”


  “It’s precisely because it’s evil that you shouldn’t be allowed to hold it,” Jiang Liu’s face was calm. His tone was even.

  Those words made the two lords even more unhappy.

  ‘We can’t hold it, but you can?’


  Even though they did not perform that well earlier, it was because they had not been prepared. They were also not familiar with the Sky Melting Sword. At that moment, they still felt like they would not lose to the red-clothed

  man.

  Jiang Liu said, “You think you can handle it? Go ahead and give it a try then.”


  “Alright, we’ll take charge from now on. No matter what, thank you for your help.”


  The two lords saluted Jiang Liu before their expressions darkened. They turned around and attacked the red-clothed man.

  At that moment, the red-clothed man had already retreated to the peak of the Divine Sword Mountain.

  For some reason, he merely stood in the same spot, not attacking at all. “The heart of the sword leads the way!”


  “The wisdom of the sword asks the world!”


  The two lords immediately exploded with supernatural powers.

  Above the skies, two massive swords formed. Thunder started to roar as the winds howled.

  An incredibly sharp aura started to slash right at the red-clothed man!

  Yet, at that moment, blood-red pillars suddenly appeared around the red-clothed man!

  The pillars were like a vortex, absorbing the massive swords. It swallowed them bit by bit until they suddenly disappeared.

  “How’s this possible?!”


  The two lords widened their eyes. Their minds were completely blank.

  The lord had a chill in his heart as he shouted, “Retreat!”


  Yet, it was too late.

  An unending absorption force fell on their bodies. The swords in their hands suddenly flew right into the pillars. At the same time, their own bodies were also getting sucked toward the pillars.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The blood-red pillars exploded in a red glow. It was like the roars of a massive beast.

  Waves of incredibly sharp sword auras started to fly everywhere. It was like a shredder, threatening to absorb everyone.

  Countless swords.

  Countless swordsmen.

  All of them started to fly toward that blood-red pillars.

  “Ah, what’s happening? I was just a spectator!”


  “No, someone save me!”


  “I don’t want to be absorbed. I’m done for, I’m done for!”


  “Attack. Everyone counterattack! We might be able to carve out a path!”


  Terrified shouts were heard everywhere.

  On the Divine Sword Mountain, the swords were being absorbed along with the swordsmen.

  They were all turning into a part of the Sky Melting Sword. Everyone present stood at the peak of the swordsmen in their realm. Now, they were all going to be absorbed!

  The only one who was not sucked in was Jiang Liu.

  Even Xiao Chengfeng started to fly toward the pillars.

  “Save me, Jiang Liu. Save me!” Xiao Chengfeng was trying very hard to resist. He shouted until his throat was hoarse.

  “Friend, help me!”


  “Friend, we thought too highly of ourselves earlier. Please, help us.” The two lords of the Divine Sword Mountain were already half absorbed. They were pleading to Jiang Liu for help. Yet, Jiang Liu merely shook his head. “I’m too weak to help you.”


  The red-clothed man had smelted the whole Divine Sword Mountain!

  The swords on the Divine Sword Mountain all belonged to experts at the peak of swordsmanship. There were even Wisdom Dictator Swordsmen. Absorbing so much sword aura into one person was something incredibly terrifying

  Even though absorbing it forcefully would not improve the quality of the man’s sword aura, he would have more than enough of it!

  Steel could not turn into gold, but a hundred kilograms of steel was incredibly different from 10 kilograms of steel.

  Jiang Liu had already noticed that, which was why he did not want to attack. He would only be able to protect himself. Saving others was something impossible.

  Everyone was shocked when they heard Jiang Liu’s words.

  They were done for. They were going to turn into someone else’s nutrients.

  Yet, the next moment, Jiang Liu took out a piece of paper…
