Chapter 189

To cultivate the Forbidden Art: Life-Sacrificing Sword, Su Fan had spent several thousand years of his lifespan before and after. In this world, aside from him, there was no second person so extravagant as to treat lifespan as nothing.

After continuous practice, the speed at which he burned a hundred years of lifespan had improved considerably.

He only needed a single breath to spit out a sword condensed from a hundred years of lifespan!

By now, no matter how Su Fan cultivated, he could no longer improve the speed of condensation.

"Next, I can only improve my cultivation and talent to increase the speed."

"Still, condensing the Life-Sacrificing Sword in one breath is more or less enough!"

Su Fan rose to his feet.

"I'm hungry. How long has it been?"

Only now did Su Fan feel a wave of hunger.

He had yet to cultivate a Mystic Sword, so he did not even count as having stepped through the gate of cultivation. He simply could not go without food.

"I'll go out and eat something, then continue cultivating forbidden arts!"

Su Fan looked at the forbidden art graves one after another, his gaze burning hot.

What forbidden arts? In his eyes, they were all invincible arts!

He retraced his steps and arrived before the sealed stone door.

Su Fan stepped on the stone that opened the entrance, and the stone door of the cave opened.

After returning to the cave and closing the stone door, Su Fan discovered that dawn had long since broken.

It was already noon on the second day.

Cliff of Reflection was surrounded by sheer precipices, with only an iron chain connecting it to the outside.

The silent Cliff of Reflection had no other plants besides the large tree outside the cave.

Yet there was a spring, water gushing from it to form a small stream that flowed down the precipice.

Fish often surged out from this spring, so the only food for those confined at Cliff of Reflection was the fish that emerged from it.

Su Fan was just about to catch fish to fill his stomach.

Suddenly, he looked beyond Cliff of Reflection. Within the clouds and mist, the iron chain trembled as a figure walked over from the opposite side!

"Has someone else been locked up at Cliff of Reflection?"

"Only one person came, and he has cultivation. He definitely wasn't sent here to be confined."

Su Fan thought of something.

His heart tightened.

His expression did not change, but he had already made preparations.

His lifespan began to burn as he condensed the Life-Sacrificing Sword!

The visitor was a young man in a white robe, the attire of a Sword God Mountain disciple.

"Junior Brother Su?"

"Senior Brother, you are?"

A puzzled look appeared on Su Fan's face.

"My name is Tang Duan."

Tang Duan looked at Su Fan, this well-known trash of Sword God Mountain.

Yet such trash had actually become a disciple of Sword God Mountain. The reason was nothing more than his status as the young master of the Gan Royal Estate.

And the fact that he had an extraordinarily gifted fiancée.

Unfortunately, everything he possessed had been lost several days ago.

He had become a true piece of trash with no background and no talent!

Tang Duan was jealous. Why should such trash be worth so much?

Though Su Fan remained vigilant inwardly, he wore a curious expression as he asked, "Senior Brother Tang, why have you come to Cliff of Reflection?"

"For you!"

Tang Duan sighed.

As he approached, he said, "Sometimes, Junior Brother, I really envy you. You're actually worth so much!"

"What do you mean, Senior Brother?"

Su Fan frowned.

Tang Duan looked at Su Fan and said, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. The price they offered was simply too high!"

Su Fan's expression changed. He cursed inwardly. Could it really be some melodramatic rival in love coming to kill him?

"Was it the Gan Royal Estate, or the Tianwu Royal Estate?"

Su Fan asked in a deep voice.

Because his talent was trash, he had never been valued within the Gan Royal Estate.

What the Gan Royal Estate valued was his marriage contract with the eldest daughter of the Tianwu Royal Estate.

After the engagement was annulled, the Gan Royal Estate believed he had disgraced them and immediately expelled him.

There were only three possibilities for those who wanted to kill him. First, the Gan Royal Estate. Second, the Tianwu Royal Estate, where his former fiancée was from.

Third, some unknown potential rival in love.

The Gan Royal Estate had already expelled him, so the possibility of them killing him was not great.

The Tianwu Royal Estate had already broken off the engagement, so killing him held no meaning either.

The greatest possibility was a rival in love who admired his former fiancée.

A sword appeared in Tang Duan's hand, its light reflecting off his face as he looked at Su Fan with cold, tranquil eyes.

Profound Sword Realm!

"My talent is limited. The other party offered some decent treasures, so I can only apologize to you!"

"Besides, I don't know who wants you dead!"

"It probably isn't the Gan Royal Estate or the Tianwu Royal Estate."

As Tang Duan spoke, he raised the sword in his hand.

"Ten years ago, I finally stepped through the gate of the sword path and condensed this Mystic Sword. Yet ten years have passed, and I am only at the middle stage of the Profound Realm!"

"Junior Brother, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Su Fan's gaze gradually turned icy.

No matter what the other party's purpose was, nor why they wanted to kill him.

Whether the Tianwu Royal Estate's sudden annulment of the engagement had anything to do with this or not, they could all wait to receive his wrath!

"Wu Aoxue, I hope you aren't the one who wants me dead. Otherwise, hmph!"

Su Fan snorted coldly inwardly!

If his former fiancée truly wanted him dead, then he could not blame himself for wiping out the Tianwu Royal Estate!

As for Tang Duan...

Su Fan looked at him without the slightest panic.

He was merely at the middle stage of the Profound Sword Realm. He could not withstand even one strike from him!

"Who did Senior Brother meet with? Was it someone from Sword God Mountain?"

Tang Duan smiled and said, "Junior Brother, although I would very much like to tell you, I don't know either!"

He did not take Su Fan seriously at all.

He was merely trash in the Mortal Sword Realm.

At most, he was only a little stronger than an ordinary person.

With his strength, even if he faced several hundred Mortal Sword enemies, killing them would be as easy as slicing melons and vegetables.

They posed no threat whatsoever.

What was more, Su Fan was trash even among those in the Mortal Sword Realm.

Though Mortal Sword and Mystic Sword seemed to differ by only one realm, in truth, they were as far apart as heaven and earth!

Su Fan clasped his hands behind his back. His expression gradually turned cold, his gaze calm without the slightest sign of panic.

He said coldly, "Since Senior Brother knows nothing, then go die!"

"Hm?!"

Tang Duan froze. What was this trash saying?

Had he been frightened out of his mind and begun babbling nonsense?

"Junior Brother, I originally intended to give you a quick death. But now I've changed my mind. I'll slice you into pieces bit by bit!"

Tang Duan's expression turned savage.

Cold light blossomed from the sword in his hand. With a ferocious grin, he said, "I'll cut off your left hand first!"

Su Fan opened his mouth. Tang Duan did not care in the least. Instead, he grinned savagely, wanting to see what this trash could possibly say.

Trying to provoke him?

Just as he wished!

The result!

A streak of sword light shot explosively from Su Fan's mouth.

"No!"

Tang Duan's face instantly drained of color in horror!

The sword light was razor-sharp and arrived in an instant, already surpassing the power of the middle stage of the Profound Sword Realm.

It was too late to dodge or block!

He had been careless!

Pfft!

The sword light pierced through his glabella.

It shot a hole through his head!

Thud!

Tang Duan fell to the ground, his face filled with horror and disbelief.

He was thoroughly dead!

Su Fan immediately let out a breath of relief. This Life-Sacrificing Sword was indeed strange and tricky, impossible to guard against.

He was only at the middle stage of the Mortal Sword Realm, yet he had killed Tang Duan, who was at the middle stage of the Profound Sword Realm, across realms!

At this moment, Su Fan's eyes gleamed.

This wasn't a forbidden art. This was an Invincible Art!
