Inside the Sword God Palace.
A white-haired old man stood with his hands behind his back.
Before him, an image of light slowly dissipated.
The old man was the Sword God Palace Master, one of the Human Race's Monarchs and Jian Shifang's master. Watching the image dissipate, his gaze sharpened slightly. "It seems they're about to fight?"
Beside the Sword God Palace Master, a middle-aged swordsman's gaze sharpened. "Palace Master, will Jian Shifang be a match for Chu Kuangren?"
"Chu Kuangren is unfathomable. Against him, Shifang will likely lose more often than he wins," the Sword God Palace Master said slowly.
Jian Shifang was indeed powerful.
But Chu Kuangren gave the Sword God Palace Master the feeling that he could not see through him.
The Sword God Palace Master had only ever felt this way about certain Monarchs.
"Palace Master, Jian Shifang isn't bad either, is he?"
The middle-aged swordsman spoke.
He, too, belonged to the Sword God Palace, so naturally he favored Jian Shifang. In his view, Chu Kuangren was powerful, but Jian Shifang had already reached the Great Dao Supreme Being Realm. With the Sword God Palace's various secret arts, he could hold his own against him.
"Shifang is certainly no slouch, but what he faces now is an existence that cannot be measured by ordinary standards. I'm afraid that in the Sword God Palace, only Dugu Bupo can compare to an Anomaly of this caliber."

Dugu Bupo was a name everyone in the Sword God Palace feared.
He was the greatest Anomaly since the Sword God Palace's founding, known as the Demon of the Sword. In the Sword God Palace, only the Sword God Palace Master could keep him in check.
But everyone believed this
