The Sword Qi rushed towards the woman in white, arriving before her in the blink of an eye. With a wave of her hand, the woman shattered Sword Blade - Storm.

It seems she's a powerhouse, not just anybody, Jiang Chen thought.

Seeing Jiang Chen attack her, Qin Qiwen swung her right hand, sending a red Sword Qi rushing towards him. Jiang Chen casually countered with a Sword Qi Attack.

CLANG!

Instantly, Qin Qiwen's red Sword Qi was dissolved.

Qin Qiwen sneered, "Interesting. Try taking another one of my moves."

Qin Qiwen waved her left hand, and red True Qi enveloped her body. A Fire Snake then appeared on her right hand. It rapidly grew, reaching ten meters in height in an instant.

Jiang Chen watched Qin Qiwen's movements.

Magic? No. This is True Qi, not magic, yet the attack itself closely resembles a magical offensive.

In fact, magic and True Qi are different forms of Energy. Casting magic requires focusing on spells, while channeling True Qi has no such requirement. Whether it's magic or True Qi, both possess formidable attack power.

Watching the Fire Snake lunge at him, Jiang Chen's thoughts flickered. Three Hundred Sword Auras rapidly shot out; only a flash of sword light was seen before the Fire Snake was swiftly annihilated.

However, Jiang Chen's Three Hundred Sword Auras were rapidly scorched, dissipating into nothingness.

If this move won't work, then I'll try another.

Wan Jian Gui Clan.

An overwhelming tide of Sword Qi materialized as Jiang Chen spun, white lights swirling around him.

Qin Qiwen's face registered shock. "This is the Sword Sect's Ultimate Skill, Wan Jian Gui Clan!"

"Yes, it looks like the Alliance of All-Gods has fully developed the Sword Sect's Ultimate Skill. This person is definitely our greatest enemy."

With a thought, Jiang Chen sent thirty thousand Sword Auras charging at Qin Qiwen.

"Be careful!"

Qin Qiwen's body trembled. Within a ten-meter radius around her, the temperature rapidly rose. Any Sword Auras entering this attack range were immediately halted and began to incinerate, gradually burning to ash.

So it's a Domain after all! A six-stage powerhouse is truly extraordinary!

Qin Qiwen laughed. "I admit you're strong, but your Sword Qi can't break through our Domain. And as it happens, I counter your Sword Qi."

"Although you have Wan Jian Gui Clan, it's not the true All Wan Jian Gui Clan's technique; it's merely a facade."

"Now, it's my turn to attack."

Qin Qiwen flashed, quickly closing in on Jiang Chen. However, Jiang Chen executed Flash in the Void and reappeared a hundred meters away, leaving Qin Qiwen astonished.

"Magic Teleportation? Aren't you a Swordsman? How can you perform Magic Teleportation?"

"Junior Sister, this isn't Magic Teleportation. If it were a Magician's Magic Teleportation, it would cause spatial fluctuations. This is his own speed; he's very fast."

Qin Qiwen nodded. "I see."

Jiang Chen said with a smile, "I admit you two are strong. Can you tell me your names?"

"I'd rather not."

After speaking, Qin Qiwen charged at Jiang Chen again. But he once more used Flash in the Void to swiftly depart.

Qin Qiwen's brows furrowed tightly.

How is this guy's running speed so fast? Even faster than hers, Qin Qiwen wondered. Is he really a Swordsman? Not someone from another profession in disguise?

At that moment, Jiang Chen extended his left hand and pointed at Qin Qiwen. Her face changed drastically as she felt a powerful surge of True Qi.

This isn't a Skill! It's True Qi—pure, unadulterated True Qi!

When they saw Jiang Chen using True Qi, their expressions changed drastically.

How is this possible? Why can a Swordsman use True Qi? Why would he possess two types of power simultaneously?

Jiang Chen's finger strike whistled past Qin Qiwen, severing a lock of her hair which drifted to the ground. Qin Qiwen couldn't believe it. If that finger strike had been just a few inches to the left, wouldn't I have been blasted apart?

Blowing on his left fingertip, Jiang Chen calmly replied, "I sensed you had no intention of killing me, so I held no killing intent towards you either. That finger strike was just a warning."

Jiang Chen turned and left, vanishing in an instant.

Qin Qiwen was furious. Just moments ago, she had nearly died at the Swordsman's hands.

Who was she? She was Qin Qiwen, a disciple of the Chief of the Qianren Association—a Guild Master comparable to a Demigod.

"Damn it, that guy is too fast! He actually got away."

"Don't bother chasing him. Even if you caught up, it wouldn't do any good."

"I refuse to believe I can't catch up to him!"

"You indeed can't. Haven't you noticed? His Skills have no cooldown time. If you somehow managed to catch up, you would deplete all the True Qi in your body."

"And even if you did catch up, what then? That finger strike of his just now could very well have claimed your life."

Qin Qiwen turned and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Gu Zihan replied with a grave expression, "We must report this to our Master. He is a Swordsman, yet he can use the True Qi of us Wanderers. This is no trivial matter."

"Alright, let's head back immediately."

Hidden in the shadows, Jiang Chen pondered. Who exactly are these two women? How are they so powerful? I should go back and ask the old man.

Lin Yangze asked, "Two young ladies?"

"Yes, both are Sixth-stage Experts. One has True Qi in her body like flames, the other as cold as ice."

"Those are Qianren Xue's two disciples—she's the Chief of the Qianren Association. The one in white is Qin Qiwen, and the one in purple is Gu Zihan. Together, they are known as the Purple-White Evil Pair. Has even the Qianren Association made a move?"

"If it was them, then that's troublesome."

"Don't worry, I escaped. Besides, I had the chance to kill them."

"If they haven't attacked you, you must not kill them."

"Is it because they're from the Qianren Association?"

"Yes, the Qianren Association is completely different from other guilds. All its members are women, and they are fiercely protective of their own. Qianren Xue herself is a top-tier expert, comparable to Li Mu of the Heavenly Earth Association and Bai Yun of the Loyal Justice Association."

"If you killed their disciples, Qianren Xue would definitely seek revenge."

Huh... So the master strikes if a disciple is killed by someone else. Could Qianren Xue be some kind of disciple-protecting fanatic? he mused.

"So you're saying I should just let them kill me?"

"Even if you were to kill them, you must ensure no one finds out. Otherwise, you will certainly be doomed, unless you become a Demigod capable of contending with Qianren Xue."

I'd better forget about that then! A Demigod... I'm still a long way off!

Jiang Chen asked, "Why do their attacks resemble magic?"

"Magic and True Qi are similar in that they are both special forms of energy, much like Sword Qi. Different energies can counteract each other."

Lin Yangze continued, "The Continent of All-Gods researched The Fallen and thus created the Swordsman profession. So, why couldn't The Fallen have researched magic as well?"

Well... that statement is indeed faultless.

So, everyone researches each other; it just boils down to who is better at it.

It's like Wan Jian Gui Clan. It's the Sword Sect's Ultimate Skill, yet it was researched by the Continent of All-Gods, which then created the Wan Jian Gui Clan skill.
