“Wait.”
A shouted command came, and a figure who seemed to have just arrived not long ago strode past the crowd from behind and descended onto the field.
The surrounding crowd stirred somewhat upon seeing the newcomer.
“It’s him, Heavy Equipment Association’s Yin Niansheng.”
“Iron Hawk senior brother.”
The sudden turn of events left the onlookers somewhat bewildered.
However, Kun Sheng, with his War Intent Boiling, did not appreciate being interrupted mid-battle. His gaze turned sharply, and he said in a deadly calm voice,
“I don’t care who you are or what makes you so confident, but if you interrupt my fight without a proper reason, be prepared to leave behind both legs.”
His tone was so calm that at first, one might not detect the murderous intent, but the next second it would send chills down the spine.
For a moment, many in the crowd turned their astonished gazes towards him.
“Brother,” Iron Hawk said, frowning deeply,
The newcomer shook his head slightly, “I am your senior brother, so naturally there’s no reason for you to shield me. Leave the matter to me.”
He then stepped forward.
“Heavy Equipment Association’s Yin Niansheng, at your service,” Yin Niansheng said with a steady gaze and a slight nod in respect, smiling lightly, “Thank you for the honor, I am the Seventh on the Western Continent’s Talent List.”
“You are Yin Niansheng?” Kun Sheng withdrew his hand, looked seriously at Yin Niansheng across from him, and after a moment of surprise, he burst out laughing heartily.
“You are much weaker than I had imagined. I heard you went to the North Continent three years ago and won by a narrow margin against that member of the Huyan Family? Your timing is quite fortuitous; these weaklings couldn’t rouse the slightest interest in me!
Come on, let us have a hearty battle!
Let me see just how strong the man who defeated the Huyan Family member is!”
Before Kun Sheng could make his eager move, Yin Niansheng said gravely, “I know your real target in coming to the Western Continent is Sword Dominator, not the Heavy Equipment Association, but the dignity of the three thousand members of the association must not be trampled on. If you want to fight, then I shall join you!”
Among the onlookers were not just members of the Heavy Equipment Association, but also Transcendents from other places who had come to enjoy the spectacle.
Seeing Yin Niansheng truly preparing to take action, many were stirred.
The Talent List had a high value of recognition in their Western Continent.
As the seventh-ranked elite on the Talent List, Yin Niansheng’s prestige was evident from the expressions of the people present when they saw him.
Just as Iron Hawk was about to say something, Kun Sheng’s wild voice once again resounded, drowning out the buzzing discussion in the crowd,
“Hahaha, you people from the Western Continent sure talk too much. If we’re going to fight, then let’s fight. Enough talking, let’s get to it! I hope you, as a talent of the Western Continent, don’t disappoint me!”
“I return that sentiment to you, Kun Sheng; don’t you disappoint me either!”
Yin Niansheng said with a long laugh, wasting no more words.
Almost simultaneously, both launched their attacks.
Yin Niansheng suddenly slapped his waist, and a pale, green sword light instantly gathered, shooting towards Kun Sheng’s head.
Those closest felt a sharp pain in their eyes and involuntarily shut them, but even then, some couldn’t help but let tears flow.
“That’s the Green Feather Sword Technique. Who would have thought Yin Niansheng had already cultivated this advanced sword technique to such a level!”
Someone couldn’t help exclaiming.
Although the Heavy Equipment Association primarily focused on Artifact Refining, they were no strangers to cultivating Techniques.
The Green Feather Sword Technique was among their more difficult sword techniques, and Yin Niansheng’s mastery of it was proof of his talent.
It was in the instant that Yin Niansheng made his move that Kun Sheng also acted.
But in a split second, he sensed a transformation in Yin Niansheng.
It was no illusion.
Yin Niansheng’s previously relaxed and stable demeanor vanished in an instant, replaced by a chill as though he’d become a sword himself.
Man and sword as one!
Kun Sheng hadn’t expected a member of the Heavy Equipment Association to reach such a state.
Even in their Sword Pavilion, not just anyone could achieve this.
This was a state of absolute rationality in perception and response, where a Cultivator could fully control and utilize every bit of their power.
To put it simply, to achieve the strongest effect with the smallest sacrifice.
In a full outburst, one could unleash all their power.
Kun Sheng did not meet Yin Niansheng’s sword head-on.
His waist-borne sword did not even leave its sheath as, sidestepping, he used the sword scabbard to redirect the surrounding currents.
A ‘ding’ sounded.
Yin Niansheng’s sword struck Kun Sheng’s scabbard, emitting an incredibly crisp sound.
The closest onlookers paled at the noise, their heads feeling as if pricked by needles, and many retreated, shouting in alarm.
However, Kun Sheng and Yin Niansheng, as though unaffected, were instantly tangled in combat.
Lou Hai, standing at the back of the crowd, watched the two figures battle and couldn’t help but be amazed.
He crouched behind the forest cover.
More and more people were arriving.
It was inevitable that some Confidential Clerks from the Federation were also lurking around.
He knew what the name Old Gods Association meant in the Western Continent.
The Elder was also aware of this fact; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked him to secretly contact Pei Jinye and act on his own.
“Yin Niansheng is indeed very strong, but now it seems he’s perhaps too strong,” Lou Hai muttered to himself. “Among the Three Alliances and Nine Associations in the Western Continent, the Heavy Equipment Association is allied with the Federation and has access to abundant resources. However, the Elder once said…
