Though he appeared to be practicing ordinary Pine Forest Swordplay or Flame-less Swordplay, the seemingly mundane Pine Forest Swordplay had already surpassed that of ordinary disciples severalfold in both speed and power.

With his other trump cards assisting it, even someone at the Grand Completion of the ninth layer would likely fall short of him in actual combat. Such strength was more than enough to guard the relatively safe Yuefu Territory.

He let out a low roar. Four white birds
