After a moment's hesitation, Jianxin asked, "You can see me?"
The man in black smiled and nodded. "I've been waiting for you. I've been waiting for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Jianxin froze, his eyes filled with confusion. "What do you mean?"
The man in black stared at Jianxin, but did not answer Jianxin question.
Jianxin scratched the back of his head, feeling that the man in black in front of him was very strange.
Have you been waiting for me for a long time?
Does he know me?
But I don't know him at all.
Jianxin pondered this incessantly, his expression filled with confusion.
At this moment, the man in black suddenly spoke up, "Want to learn that sword strike from just now?"
Jianxin's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, "I want to!"
He was quite tempted by that sword strike just now.
One sword strike instantly kills millions of powerful warriors!
Holy crap!
That's outrageous!
The man in black smiled slightly, then flicked two fingers, and a ray of white light flew into Jianxin's brow.
At that moment, a memory suddenly appeared in Jianxin's mind.
Jianxin stood in the sky, his eyes closed, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment.
The man in black looked at Jianxin with satisfaction in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky. In that one glance, he transcended time and space, and there he saw Su Chen's figure.
Outside the painting.
As if sensing something, Su Chen looked up and saw the figure of the man in black appear in his eyes as well.
The moment Su Chen and the man in black locked eyes, the entire world fell silent; not a sound could be heard.
The two stared at each other for a long time before the man in black suddenly laughed and then looked away.
Su Chen remained calm, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Interesting."
Gu Xun'er then asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Gu Xun'er nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Inside the scroll.
The man in black fell silent, his previous calm replaced by an unprecedented solemnity. After a moment, he murmured, "Who is he? Why can't even I see through him?"
His tone carried a hint of disbelief and heaviness.
After pondering for a long time, the man in black suddenly laughed, "I never expected that such a being would exist in this universe. It seems I still can't get too arrogant, lest I get treated like a grandson and beaten up, hahaha..."
As he chuckled, the man in black's expression turned serious again. "However, this person is now not only Jianxin's master, but also Xiao Fan's master. I wonder if this will affect our future plans..."
He fell silent for a moment, then sighed deeply, his eyes filled with worry. "I still need to ask Xue'er if she knows this man."
After saying that, he looked at Jianxin, "I hope you and Xiao Fan can grow up quickly, time is really running out..."
As the last word fell, his body slowly began to dissipate, finally vanishing completely from this world.
Just then, Jianxin suddenly opened his eyes, then opened his right palm, revealing the Light Scar Sword in his palm. The next moment, he gently swung it at a huge mountain in the distance.
Pfft!
boom!
With this sword strike, the massive mountain was cleaved in two, and not only that, a huge rift was also torn open in this space-time.
Seeing all this, Jianxin was somewhat excited. Only when he actually unleashed this sword strike did he realize how terrifying it was.
Forcing himself to calm his excitement, Jianxin murmured, "I estimate that this strike only unleashed one ten-billionth of its power... Awesome!"
As he spoke, he became excited again. Just then, he suddenly remembered something and looked sharply in one direction. Seeing that no one was there, he looked around again, but still could not find the figure of the man in black.
He frowned slightly. "Gone? Who exactly is he?"
Jianxin pondered for a long time, but even if he racked his brains, he had no memory of the man in black.
He shook his head, ceasing his thoughts, and looked at the mountain he had cleaved in two, saying, "He hasn't told me the name of this sword strike yet."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since this sword is formless, let's call it the Formless One Sword!"
As he finished speaking, his vision began to blur, and then he felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the wooden house.
At that moment, the scroll in Jianxin's hand suddenly burst into flames, quickly turning into ashes and disappearing into the world.
The people present were not surprised that the scroll suddenly burst into flames, because the scroll was originally an fortuitous opportunity, and since Jianxin had already obtained the fortuitous opportunity within the scroll, the scroll naturally had no further meaning.
The old man looked at Jianxin and smiled, "What fortuitous opportunity did you obtain?"
Lin Fan, standing to the side, also looked on with curiosity.
Jianxin shook his head, then sorted through the memories in his mind, and then recounted what had happened in the painting.
After a long while, having heard Jianxin's words, the old man frowned slightly. "You weren't originally part of the painting, so how could that man in black have seen you?"
Jianxin shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "That man in black is definitely an extraordinary individual."
Lin Fan, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. "I also feel that the man in black is not simple."
As he spoke, he looked at Jianxin and asked curiously, "Is your Formless One Sword really that powerful?"
Jianxin laughed and said, "Of course! I can teach you later!"
Lin Fan chuckled, "Alright, I'll teach you the sword technique my master taught me later."
Jianxin smiled, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. From a young age, he had been interested in powerful sword techniques, but in his eighteen years of life, he had never encountered a sword technique that satisfied him.
But ever since he saw Lin Fan's sword strike, he had been captivated. That sword strike was simply too outrageous, more powerful than any sword technique he had ever seen, and even several times stronger than the new Formless One Sword he had just learned! Therefore, he was very tempted by that sword strike.
The old man suddenly said, "Alright, you two can talk later. I don't have much time left; I must pass on my legacy to you immediately."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan and Jianxin Xin immediately became serious.
Lin Fan glanced at Jiang Xin beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then said to the old man, "Senior, could you please give her the inheritance that was given to me?"
As he spoke, he pointed to Jiang Xin standing to the side.
Upon hearing this, the people in the room were stunned.
Jiang Xin was stunned. She hadn't expected that Lin Fan would actually give her the inheritance!
The old man frowned and asked, "Why?"
Lin Fan said, " Jianxin and I both received fortuitous opportunity from you, but she didn't..."
He stopped there.
Jianxin glanced at Lin Fan, then at Jiang Xin, and immediately understood what was going on. A gossipy glint flashed in his eyes.
