65 Iron Blood True Scripture
Jiang Fan looked at the shimmering Purple Sword in his hand, unable to believe it.
He had only performed a sword flourish in the air just now.
He jumped onto the statue.
Holding the Purple Sword, he slashed at the statue forcefully.
Bang——
A sharp cracking sound suddenly came, and the statue broke into two!
Jiang Fan gasped.
He looked at the Purple Sword in shock: “Its ability, is to release Sword Qi from a distance?”
“And such powerful Sword Qi that it can easily cut through stone?”
For a moment, he was incredibly delighted.
With this sword in hand, paired with the “Seven-star Sword Jue,” the destructive power would be off the charts.
The only flaw was that the sword was too heavy.
It was very cumbersome to use.
One must have an extremely strong physique to wield it perfectly.
“Do I have to do body refinement?” Jiang Fan showed a bit of hesitation.
“Father once said that the martial path, specifically body techniques, is the most difficult because it requires far more resources than cultivating a technique.”
“It’s as hard as climbing to the sky to improve body techniques in Lonely Boat City.”
“I must go to the Green Cloud Sect.”
Next, he ensured the two Transcend Mortality Pills were secured.
The Purple Sword was then wrapped in a cloth to prevent its purple glow from attracting attention.
But at this moment.
A feeble and elderly cry came from outside the cave.
“Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Help me, please help me.”
Hm?
In such a deep mountain forest, and in the heart of the Blood Bat Palace’s lair, how could someone be asking for help?
He immediately hid in the shadow of a crevice in the rock.
Before long.
An old man with disheveled hair and covered in blood ran in, panic-stricken.
He scanned his surroundings, found no one, and couldn’t help but sigh to the sky: “I thought the noise in the cave was someone.”
“My life is over!”
Moments later.
A towering, giant man, like an iron tower, walked into the cave.
His naked torso was smeared with strange patterns.
As he walked, the ground rumbled under his steps.
He looked like a moving mountain.
“Can’t run away now, can you?” the giant man grinned, revealing a sinister smile:
“Steal our Giant Sect’s ‘Iron Blood True Scripture,’ and even if you run back to the Green Cloud Sect’s territory, you must die!”
Jiang Fan’s heart trembled.
Giant Sect?
Isn’t that one of the nine major sects under the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?
It was the most powerful of the nine.
And also the farthest from the Green Cloud Sect, separated by several other sects.
How had the Giant Sect’s people chased him into Green Cloud Sect territory?
The fleeing old man angrily shouted: “Xu Ganglie! You are utterly shameless! The ‘Iron Blood True Scripture’ was my reward for eighteen years of alchemy for your Giant Sect.”
“As an Inner Sect disciple of the Giant Sect, a righteous sect, you dare to kill for treasures.”
The “Iron Blood True Scripture” in the Giant Sect was a confidential technique that only elders could view.
As an Inner Sect disciple, Xu Ganglie had coveted it for a long time.
Upon seeing this old man, who had retired and returned home, receive it as a reward, Xu Ganglie devised his wicked plan.
“Heh, what righteous sect? In this world, power is the ultimate principle.”
