Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1026: Chapter 20 Chase and Kill_2

“I resemble someone?” Chen Guanshui suddenly laughed, “Does he have my skills?”

He casually lifted his hand, summoning the Coiled Dragon Gold-Dissolving Ball.

It must be said, Shi Yao was indeed worthy of being an old demon; who knows how long she had studied ways to deal with Human Cultivators. The Coiled Dragon Gold-Dissolving Ball she bestowed, though seemingly having poor general usability, had an insanely strong restraint against Flying Swords. As soon as it was summoned, An Zhisu’s Flying Smoke Sword immediately started trembling, as if completely out of control, and abruptly shot towards the Coiled Dragon Gold-Dissolving Ball.

However, Senior Sister An was also quick-witted, instantly reaching out like lightning and grabbing the hilt of the Flying Smoke Sword.

“What kind of Evil Treasure is that?” she immediately exclaimed in a stern voice.

The spherical Magical Treasure seemed unremarkable but completely countered her Sword Control Technique, leaving An Zhisu unable to fully unleash her greatest skills… Even for other Shushan Sword Immortals, it would probably be about the same here.

“A Magical Treasure is just a Magical Treasure; how can there be a distinction between good and evil?” Chen Guanshui retorted, “It’s people who are distinguished as good or evil.”

An Zhisu was silent for a long time, finally saying after a while:

“Indeed, it’s people who are good or evil.”

Her body seemed to tremble subtly but soon gradually calmed down, merely staring intently at Chen Guanshui.

Chen Guanshui felt a bit uneasy under her gaze and spoke out:

“I don’t know who you’re looking for, but you’re definitely entangled with the wrong person here.”

“Whether it’s the wrong person, I’ll judge for myself.” An Zhisu said in a deep voice, “How should I address you?”

“Wang Shan,” Chen Guanshui replied.

“Daoist Wang Shan, which sect do you hail from?” An Zhisu continued to ask.

“You want to check my background?” Chen Guanshui asked warily.

An Zhisu did not respond verbally, merely forming a Daoist Formula with her hand.

The Flying Smoke Sword that she held suddenly emitted two intersecting Sword Qi beams.

The Sword Qi seemed like smoke and dust, almost ethereal, but Chen Guanshui had no doubt about its power. He knew that just a graze would be akin to a direct strike from the Flying Smoke Sword, instantly resulting in his body being torn apart.

Since Senior Sister was using Sword Dao Techniques, the Coiled Dragon Gold-Dissolving Ball was useless against them. Therefore, Chen Guanshui could only stow it away and then rub his five fingers together to release the Five Elements Divine Light.

The Sword Qi of the Flying Smoke Sword belonged to fire, and with a sweep of the Five Elements Divine Light, it dissipated without a trace.

“Five Elements Divine Light?” An Zhisu frowned, “You’re Elder Jingyun who defected from Penglai… No, I’ve seen him before, and you’re not him!”

Chen Guanshui felt a bit helpless; this was why he didn’t want to confront An Zhisu: no matter what move he used, she could always recognize it.

“Then just assume I’m that Jingyun,” Chen Guanshui said nonchalantly, but he saw An Zhisu’s eyes grow sharper.

“You can’t be Jingyun, but you can use the Five Elements Divine Light… So the result is quite clear.”

“You’re a demon from the Peacock Clan, aren’t you?”

“Ah, right, right!” Chen Guanshui was overjoyed but didn’t expect such a misunderstanding, leading to his true identity being completely guessed wrong, “I am, indeed, a peacock…”

Before he could finish speaking, An Zhisu, already impatient, formed a sword technique, sending the Flying Smoke Sword and the Harsh Cold Sword attacking ferociously towards Chen Guanshui.

The Harsh Cold Sword was originally Su Jian’s Life-bound Sword Artifact, but ever since Su Jian re-emerged, he had not retrieved his Life-bound Sword Artifact from his daughter’s hand.

Probably due to their blood connection, the Harsh Cold Sword was also very obedient to An Zhisu, differing from the ethereal lightness of the Flying Smoke Sword, its sword path was more fierce and harsh, making it quite difficult to deal with.

Chen Guanshui silently took half a step back, knowing that it was too late to retrieve the Coiled Dragon Gold-Dissolving Ball at this moment—this was the standard tactic of the Shushan Sword Immortal, using the speed of the Sword Control Technique to seize the offensive, leaving the opponent with no time to unleash any powerful moves.

Not to mention, the Seven Kills Sword Technique of Qingluo Peak in Shushan is a master at taking the initiative in attack, never giving the opponent any chance.

To counter the unmatched speed of the Sword Control Technique, the best method is to use the Sword Control Technique as well. Therefore, Chen Guanshui performed a sword technique, simultaneously controlling the Huangting Kunwu Sword and the Water Dragon Chant Sword to intercept the Flying Smoke Sword and the Harsh Cold Sword.

“Two-Handed Sword Control Technique…” An Zhisu’s heart sank, and she immediately intensified her offensive, taking the opportunity to observe Chen Guanshui’s sword paths.

However, strangely, Chen Guanshui’s sword paths were characterized by speed, precision, and straightforwardness, very common, and did not have the style of any Sword Control Technique from the Shushan factions.

More precisely, his swordsmanship attainment was so strong that his combat style overshadowed the foundation of Sword Control Technique, making it difficult for An Zhisu to identify.

With this thought, An Zhisu also thought of her junior brother Ling Yunpo, who was still missing, and her impatience made her even fiercer, surging her True Yuan fully, using the Harsh Cold Sword and the Flying Smoke Sword to create an impenetrable defense, attacking like a storm, with furious fire and thunder, as if she wanted to slay the opponent immediately.

Facing Senior Sister An’s full-force attack, Chen Guanshui also secretly lamented.

Although he often sparred with An Zhisu before, after all, he was operating with five accounts at once, and his reliance and immersion in swordsmanship were not as deep as An Zhisu’s. Therefore, if he had to fight to the limit in a swordsmanship duel, he might not necessarily win against Senior Sister An.

What’s more troublesome is that once it comes to extreme offense, he certainly won’t be able to hide his swordsmanship style… there was no time to think much, the Harsh Cold Sword was still violently slashing, while the Flying Smoke Sword quietly maneuvered behind for an attack, leaving a residual image of Sword Qi in place to confuse Chen Guanshui.

If the Kunlun Mirror were here, it would of course say, “Watch your back!”

However, with Ah Jing not present, Chen Guanshui’s vigilance was at its peak. He immediately recognized it as an illusion, and without thinking, he commanded the Kunwu Sword to circle behind, striking with great force in a large semicircle, shaking off the stealth-attack Flying Smoke Sword.

An Zhisu’s heart sank again, feeling that the opponent’s defense was watertight, revealing no flaws or gaps.

But she was also a person of resolute character, maintaining extreme pressure while occasionally changing hand signs, quietly displaying Sword Dao Techniques to give Chen Guanshui a little Shushan shock.

Chen Guanshui appeared calm in his defense, resolving the opponent’s violent offensive one by one. In reality, to deliberately conceal his own style, his moves were becoming more and more overused, soon facing a situation of having no moves left to use.

He already had the intention to retreat, just about to find a direction to escape, but An Zhisu had already discerned his intent.

The Harsh Cold Sword’s Sword Dao Techniques activated, causing numerous ice flowers to rapidly sprout from the ground and then explode one after another, instantly blocking all of Chen Guanshui’s retreat paths.

But Chen Guanshui had the Five Elements Divine Light in his hands, and would not be stumped by such minor tricks.

The Divine Light swept across, and countless ice flowers instantly shattered in place. Chen Guanshui almost instinctively used the Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step to escape, but quickly reacted, opting instead to control his sword near the ground for a rapid escape.

An Zhisu, unwilling to let him go, hurriedly followed with her Sword Control.

This time, it was a full-speed escape. Chen Guanshui held nothing back, fully harnessing his True Yuan, his Sword Light swiftly slicing through countless trees and cutting down a large number of obstructive bushes.

An Zhisu pursued relentlessly from behind, her Sword Light equally sharp and ferocious, almost sticking closely to the tail of Chen Guanshui’s Sword Light, never leaving for a moment.

The two of them chased and fled, passing through many valleys, creeks, and forests, and soon arrived at the vicinity of a certain ruin.

This ruin was none other than the Ailao Mountain that Wei Dongliu and his companions had explored in the past, its mountain lake leading to the Cave Heavens of the Mirror Lake Divine Palace. However, a certain golden little sword was needed as a key to open the passage.

The key had been returned to the Qilin by Wei Dongliu in the past, but Chen Guanshui was not what he used to be and would certainly not be troubled by a mere key.

He quickly took out the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle, infused it with True Yuan, and activated it directly, intending to break through the spatial barrier into the Mirror Lake Divine Palace, just as he forcefully entered the Shennongjia Secret Realm in the past.

An Zhisu saw him take out the Divine Shuttle, and as the spatial fluctuations arose, relying on her Innate Sword Heart, she immediately realized—the opponent was trying to escape into the nearby Cave Heavens!

She decided not to hold back, using the Harsh Cold and Flying Smoke swords to entangle the Huangting Kunwu Sword and Water Dragon Chant Sword, suddenly employing the Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step, swiftly approaching Chen Guanshui’s side.

This timing was extremely ingenious: if she was a second ahead, Chen Guanshui would have reacted to pull away; a second too slow, she wouldn’t make it into the range of the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle…

In conclusion, Chen Guanshui, leveraging the power of the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle, entered the Cave Heavens, intending to break through the lake surface to emerge, but his ankle was suddenly grabbed by An Zhisu from below, forcibly pulling him back into the depths of the lake!
