Chu Ming just stepped in, and an ancient aura came to his face. The first floor was sparsely populated, with only a few martial artists walking around.

"Guest, what do you need?"

A clerk with a smile on his face trotted up to Chu Ming and humbly inquired.

"Do you have books on the translation of ancient texts?"

Chu Ming's gaze swept across the entire first floor and found a medium-sized bookshelf in the southeast corner with some yellowing books on it.

At the same time, he sharply noticed that as soon as he spoke, a few secretive glances swept over him from the first floor.

"Guest, you came to the right place. In all of Rainbow City, our Antiquities Building has the most comprehensive translations."

The clerk smiled, lightly gesturing with his right arm to lead Chu Ming to the southeast corner and pointed proudly at the bookshelf.

"These translations can almost be traced back to the Ancient Era. Tell me which one you fancy, and I'll get it for you."

"Alright, you go ahead and do your work."

Chu Ming casually picked up a book from the shelf and began flipping through it lightly.

"Okay."

The clerk responded and went to attend to other guests.

Chu Ming's super-strong soul power endowed him with extreme memory, and with his current strength, he could basically remember everything at a glance.

After flipping through a few pages, Chu Ming could determine that the text wasn't the one he was looking for. He then drew another book from the bookshelf.

There were about thirty to forty translations on the bookshelf, covering all the texts from the Ancient Era to the present.

"Where's the clerk?"

A hoarse voice sounded, followed by a young man with white hair and a blood-red cloak walking in from outside the Antiquities Building.

"Guest, what can I do for you?"

The clerk didn't dare to delay, immediately trotting up to the young man in the blood-red cloak. Upon sensing the evil aura emanating from him, the clerk's face turned pale.

"Where are your translations of ancient texts?"

The young man moved his lips slightly, his voice extremely hoarse.

"Right over there."

The clerk pointed towards Chu Ming's position.

The young man in the blood-red cloak didn't speak, only nodded slightly before walking towards the bookshelf. His black eyes were calm and steady.

"I didn't expect him to come here too."

A passing martial artist showed a trace of shock the moment the young man in the blood-red cloak appeared, and he murmured to himself after the young man walked away.

"Brother, do you know who that young man is?"

A white-robed martial artist beside him couldn't help but ask, eyes showing a hint of curiosity, and others also pricked up their ears.

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be Gu Cheng, the top of the five great swordsmen, the Blood Swordsman."

Taking a deep breath, the man said lightly. As soon as his words fell, it was as if a heavy bomb had been dropped in the Antiquities Building, and you could hear a pin drop.

Blood Swordsman Gu Cheng was considered a legendary figure in the Central Divine Domain. While other prodigies had famous reputations and factions backing them, Gu Cheng roamed the entire Central Divine Domain without relying on any power and made a name for himself.

Gu Cheng's swordsmanship was elusive. He once fought against a Great Power of Transcendence alone and retreated unscathed. The martial artists of the Two Palaces, Three Academies, and Four Pavilions had extended olive branches to him multiple times, but he refused them all.

The moment Gu Cheng appeared, Chu Ming noticed him because the killing intent on Gu Cheng was too strong. Such intense killing intent could only be accumulated by killing millions of martial artists.

Gu Cheng also saw Chu Ming, but only glanced at him coldly before lowering his head to look at the book in his hand.

"Clerk, I'll take this book!"

Chu Ming's eyes lit up. The text on the book in his hand was exactly the same as the text on the fragment. However, he couldn't study it now and would have to compare it slowly back at the inn.

"Put down the book in your hand!"

A cold voice rang in Chu Ming's ear. Chu Ming turned his head to see Gu Cheng staring at him coldly without blinking.

"What if I say no?"

Chu Ming's face turned slightly cold. This ancient text translation might be the only copy in all of Rainbow City. Even if other places in Rainbow City had it, searching for it would take a lot of time.

"Then you will die!"

Blood Swordsman Gu Cheng's eyes were like swords, with an astonishing killing intent. Evil Qi enveloped Chu Ming, making him feel as if he was in an endless slaughter cell.

The entire Antiquities Building began to tremble rapidly due to Gu Cheng's terrifying killing intent. Thin cracks spread throughout the middle of the building.

"Leave quickly, the place is about to collapse!"

The customers on the first floor of the Antiquities Building were all terrified and scrambled to fly out of the building.

"We'll take this outside!"

Chu Ming said coldly, his body turning into a stream of light as he rushed out of the Antiquities Building, followed closely by Blood Swordsman Gu Cheng.

Shua! Shua!

The two did not conceal their figures, flying directly over the sky of Rainbow City and attracting the attention of many.

"Look, who are those two in the sky?"

On the streets of Rainbow City, a martial artist pointed at Chu Ming and Gu Cheng and exclaimed.

"Senior Sister, look at the one in the sky. Is that Blood Swordsman Gu Cheng?"

On the street, a girl in a blue glass dress stared at the blood-red figure in the sky and screamed.

"Hmm?"

A woman in black clothes with a black veil on her face raised her head slightly and looked towards the sky, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Why is it him?!"

"I don't know who that person in front is, but he dares to confront Blood Swordsman Gu Cheng. He's really courting death!"

The girl in the blue glass dress pouted lightly.

"Let's follow!"

The woman in black instructed the girl in the blue glass dress and then turned to fly out of the city.

"Hey, Senior Sister, wait for me!"

The girl turned into an afterimage, chasing after the woman in black. At this moment, many people in Rainbow City recognized Blood Swordsman Gu Cheng and scrambled to fly out of the city.

Puff! Puff!

Outside Rainbow City, Chu Ming stopped, giving Gu Cheng a cold look. Sword momentum gathered around him, confronting Blood Swordsman Gu Cheng.

"You're also a swordsman? How interesting!"

Blood light shot from Gu Cheng's eyes, and a blood sword appeared in his hand with a sharp edge.

At this moment, dense crowds of martial artists stood on a hill not far from the two, watching the battle.

"Huh? Isn't that the young man who defeated the Bone Lord a few days ago?"

Chu Ming wasn't unknown in Rainbow City now, and a martial artist immediately recognized him.
