Though most of these flying swords had not reached the top grade, there were so many of them that even if they were simply used to smash them, it would be enough to batter the three of them to death several times over.
The three men's pupils shrank at once, the color draining from their faces. Was this really a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator? Their three streaks of escaping light instantly retreated. They no longer dared entertain a single thought of fighting, wanting only to flee this place as quickly as possible.
Just then, Lu Wusheng and the remaining Law Cultivator suddenly faltered mid-flight. A rare spell had delayed them for a brief instant, and in that instant, the two had already lost their chance to escape the flying sword swarm's attack range.
Lu Wusheng and the other man broke down on the spot and erupted into curses.
So this man was Gao Tianyang, the one mentioned in the Jade Slip Wei Jingxian had given Fang Xiao. As a Rogue Cultivator, the fact that he had caught Wei Jingxian's eye naturally meant his cultivation and strength had earned Wei Jingxian's recognition. The reason he had achieved such attainments in the sword path was entirely because he had clawed his way up among low-level cultivators through underhanded means.
He was the sort whose spiritual root aptitude was mediocre, yet whose talent for the sword path was exceptional. Unfortunately, sword talent could not be measured like spiritual roots, so he had no chance of entering a sect.
After becoming a Rogue Cultivator, he relied on his deep scheming mind and cunning, ever-changing methods to cheat and harm others. He usually wore a kindly face and seemed to have friends everywhere, but in truth, he often plotted against his own friends in secret.
