Sword Immortal Kong Xuan was also a prodigy of the Boundless Sword Sect, even stronger than Fu Ming. If compared horizontally with the Dao Sword Sect, this Sword Immortal Kong Xuan would be on par with Huang Feiyu from years ago... that is, one of the top five strongest in the sect.
His Kong Xuan Sword Way was another powerful sword technique of the Boundless Sword Sect, focusing on the concepts of "emptiness" and "mystery". Emptiness means nothingness, while mystery implies the extraordinary. It is invisible yet omnipresent; being unseen and everywhere leads to an endless array of marvelous moves.
When facing him in battle, opponents often feel he is slightly weaker, that his techniques are lacking and without offensive power. In reality, practitioners of this sword way automatically appear weaker against most opponents. They are accustomed to putting themselves at a disadvantage, then using that weakness to overcome strength.
For instance, at this moment, the outer disciple of the Dao Sword Sect seemed to have the upper hand, his scorching flames forcing Kong Xuan to constantly retreat. However, Kong Xuan had already laid countless strands of Kong Xuan Sword Qi throughout the area, waiting for the right moment to turn the tables and defeat the Dao Sword Sect disciple in one move.
Chasing the Wind ran over, his large tiger eyes immediately seeing the danger. He hurriedly shouted at the Dao Sword Sect disciple, "Hey! You fool, stop chasing! You'll die if you keep going!"
The Dao Sword Sect disciple, who had been fiercely pursuing his opponent, heard these words and looked back. Seeing it was Chasing the Wind, he actually gave up his advantageous position and quickly stopped his attack.
"Huh?" Chasing the Wind blinked, his face full of confusion. "Since when did my words become so effective?"
How did that person just believe him immediately?
He couldn't help feeling a bit smug, thinking that he, Chasing the Wind, must truly be an impressive figure.
Sword Immortal Kong Xuan, seeing his killing move foiled by Chasing the Wind's shout, was quite displeased. He coldly asked, "Who are you?"
"Are you blind?" Chasing the Wind spat. "I'm a tiger, okay? I'm not a person!"
Sword Immortal Kong Xuan didn't bother arguing with Chasing the Wind. Noticing the identity token around Chasing the Wind's neck, he realized Chasing the Wind was also from the Dao Sword Sect. He raised his sword again, with illusory Kong Xuan Sword Qi flickering around the blade.
At the same time, the Kong Xuan Sword Qi he had laid out in the air was poised to strike, aimed at Chasing the Wind.
Chasing the Wind saw it clearly but wasn't afraid at all. He nodded his chin towards the Dao Sword Sect disciple and asked, "So how did you two end up fighting?"
"End up?" Hearing Chasing the Wind's question, the Dao Sword Sect disciple's brow furrowed as he sensed something amiss.
Why had he started fighting with the renowned Sword Immortal Kong Xuan? Didn't he know he was a prodigy from the Boundless Sword Sect?
"This senior from the Boundless Sword Sect said I provoked him..." he explained to Chasing the Wind.
"How did you provoke him?" Chasing the Wind pressed.
"He said my gaze was full of killing intent..."
Before the disciple could finish, Sword Immortal Kong Xuan made his move. A strand of Kong Xuan Sword Qi slashed towards Chasing the Wind first, and the hidden Kong Xuan Sword Qi all around rushed towards Chasing the Wind, having found their target.
"Ptui!" Chasing the Wind spat disdainfully and shouted, "Li An, cut him down!"
Then two purple Star Sword Qi flew out from his back towards Sword Immortal Kong Xuan's sword qi...
"Why only two?" Chasing the Wind frowned.
Others had set up hundreds of sword qi flying over after preparing for so long, and you think two sword qi can block them?
He turned his head to look and saw Li An on his back yawning, then flopping down and grabbing his fur with both hands, falling asleep.
"?!!!"
Hey! We're in a fight here! It's a life-or-death moment! How can you just fall asleep?
Chasing the Wind was dumbfounded. "How can you drop the ball at such a critical moment?"
But Li An was just a baby. How could he care about such things? When he's sleepy, he sleeps - that's what he should do!
Watching the Star Sword Qi that flew out get instantly shredded by the Kong Xuan Sword Qi, while the sky full of Kong Xuan Sword Qi continued flying towards them.
Seeing this, Chasing the Wind sighed, "Li An, you're so unreliable!"
Not realizing that relying on a four-month-old infant was unreliable, he was even more unreliable than Li An.
Then darkness rose from Chasing the Wind's four paws. Carrying Li An on his back, he leaped forward, jumping directly into the shadows cast by the incoming sword qi. He made several transitions, weaving through the shadows, and after just a few jumps, he appeared in front of Sword Immortal Kong Xuan.
He raised his paw and swatted down. Sword Immortal Kong Xuan raised his sword to block, but how could he withstand Chasing the Wind's strength? He was sent flying, along with his sword, by a single swat.
Sword Immortal Kong Xuan rolled over a hundred meters on the ground, suffering quite a few external injuries.
"Such tremendous strength!"
Kong Xuan was shocked. He steadied himself against a huge rock, then used it to flip like a swallow, adjusting his posture to prepare for another round.
But suddenly, his vision blurred, and that white tiger was already right in front of him. Another paw came down, even faster than before. He couldn't keep up at all, and that big paw pressed him, embedding his entire body into the huge rock!
"Roar!"
The white tiger opened its mouth and let out a roar. A fierce, soul-shaking gale blew towards his face. His soul trembled instantly, his limbs went weak, and his precious sword fell to the ground. He had no strength left to fight.
"Dare to attack your grandpa Chasing the Wind?" The white tiger's mouth twisted in disdain. "Seems like you don't want to live anymore." Chasing the Wind released his paw, but didn't take Sword Immortal Kong Xuan's life.
He turned around and heard praises from all around:
"What kind of tiger is it? It defeated Sword Immortal Kong Xuan in just three moves?!"
"Such a handsome little tiger. Having such a tiger in life, what more could one ask for?"
"The token hanging around its neck... that's a spirit beast of the Dao Sword Sect..."
His body instantly felt several pounds lighter as he trotted towards the Dao Sword Sect disciple.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chasing the Wind, for saving my life," the Dao Sword Sect disciple bowed in gratitude.
Chasing the Wind looked at him and asked, "You know me?"
"This junior disciple is Xiao Bufan, an outer sect disciple. I saw Senior Brother during the entrance examination at the sect gate, and have also seen Senior Brother several times on Sword Peak," Xiao Bufan replied.
Xiao Bufan? Chasing the Wind had some impression now. He seemed to be a formidable outer sect disciple. No wonder he could face Sword Immortal Kong Xuan head-on.
"Oh..." He realized something else, "Aren't you the one who often goes to find Wen Jin?"
Xiao Bufan smiled, "Senior Brother still remembers me."
"Alas!" Chasing the Wind sighed, raising his paw to pat Xiao Bufan's shoulder, speaking rather maturely, "Wen Jin isn't suitable for you."
"Matters of the heart are hard to explain clearly," Xiao Bufan replied with a smile. (What would a tiger know about love?)
"Sigh!" Chasing the Wind shook his head, preparing to try and persuade Xiao Bufan further. With his keen perception, he felt that the chemistry between Tian Wenjin and Xiao Bufan was far lower than that between Tian Wenjin and Li Shiyin.
But before he could speak, there was suddenly a commotion on the snowy mountain...
"Roar..."
A dragon's cry suddenly rang out halfway up the mountain.
He quickly turned to look up the mountain and saw a small avalanche starting, with snow "whooshing" down. But the avalanche didn't capture his attention; his gaze was fixed on something in mid-air.
As the snow rolled down, splashing like shattered jade and scattered pearls, refracting seven-colored light in the sunlight. Amidst the rainbow light, there was a beast covered in scales, with four legs and a dragon's head, standing proudly in the air. It stood about ten feet tall at the shoulder, majestic and awe-inspiring, holy and pure, with an icy aura surrounding its body.
"A qilin!!" Exclamations of shock erupted from the crowd, "There really is a qilin!!!"
The cultivators all surged forward frantically, riding the wind and their swords, heading towards the snowy mountain despite the avalanche, intent on capturing the divine beast qilin.
"An ice qilin?" Chasing the Wind frowned. He looked at the qilin in the air, feeling something was off...
This qilin's aura was too weak!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
