Chapter 1310: A Traveler's Soul About to Break Here

Jiang Wang did not know how others spoke of him, but happily, he had not revealed his identity, so he feared no slander.That single coin-blade flew leisurely ahead, and passersby all saw it not, or perhaps, could not see it at all.Jiang Wang could now feel the weight of gaze, and he was certain that not a single passerby's eye fell upon the coin-blade.Yet from this coin-blade, he sensed no trace of disturbing vision or concealing itself...How was it achieved?With Jiang Wang's current strength, it was utterly beyond comprehension.Yu Beidou was known as "Half a Lifetime of Divination," truly possessing abilities as unfathomable as gods and ghosts.This coin-blade, having left the inn, guided the way with clear purpose. It seemed to choose the shortest path, leading Jiang Wang to fly out of this city, and then suddenly accelerated.Jiang Wang followed closely, also increasing his speed.This flight... indeed led him to fly away from the State of Zhao.The coin-blade was still heading north...Jiang Wang had only recently flown from the north, enjoying a few days of peaceful cultivation, and now he had to fly back again.A premonition of misfortune arose in his heart.What matter was Yu Beidou involved in that required traveling so far?He felt inexplicably at a disadvantage, but having already agreed, it was difficult to go back on his word.The State of Xiang and the State of Xu seemed to have ended their bickering, confirming that the problem could not be resolved through negotiation, and small-scale skirmishes and clashes were gradually increasing in scale...According to his communication with Chongxuan Sheng in the Illusory True Realm, Li Longchuan, Wang Yiwo, and others had all gone to the Star-Moon Plains this time, participating in this war with "Xiang and Xu as the skin, Jing and Qi as the bones."The main forces of the State of Qi were unmoved, and all high-level combatants held back, but a large number of young prodigies filled the Xu State army, and the Jing State side was likewise.From this perspective, although this battle was a probe between two major hegemonic states, it should by no means be taken lightly.Perhaps both Qi and Jing tacitly allowed this battle on the Star-Moon Plains to be the battlefield for the confrontation of their younger generations. It could be considered an early confrontation of their future high-level figures.Since the State of Jing chose to confront the State of Qi on the Star-Moon Plains before further negotiations, and the war had truly begun, Jiang Wang's disappearance as a bargaining chip was no longer so important. The outcome of this battle was a matter of greater significance.Chongxuan Sheng also asked Jiang Wang if he wanted to participate in this battle to gain military merits.At that time, Jiang Wang refused, focusing solely on his cultivation.Flying north from the State of Zhao at this moment, he saw a continuous flow of resources from the State of Qi to the State of Xu along the way, making the scent of war even more palpable.He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt eager to try.The Jing State Mirror World Pavilion slandered him as a demon collaborator, making the world hostile towards him and staining his reputation. They also forcibly ordered Zhao Xuanyang to kill him, putting him in a life-or-death crisis. He could not deal with those old monsters, but this battle on the Star-Moon Plains was the main battlefield for the young generation.Among his peers, whom did he fear?To test the mettle of the young people of the State of Jing on the Star-Moon Plains would surely be a joyful matter!But the coin-blade flying in front shattered his musings.It flew northward relentlessly, ever northward...Passing between the State of Xu and the State of Qi, it went north from the State of Rong, and finally, unexpectedly, arrived at the Soul-Severing Gorge.Standing before this gorge that stretched endlessly forward and whose top could not be seen, looking at the precipitous cliffs and listening to the wailing wind, a feeling of unease immediately arose.This gorge was like a natural chasm, carved by some unknown divine being.It was indeed a good place to kill and bury bones!The coin-blade circled in front, as if urging him on.Jiang Wang tightened his grip on his sword and walked inside.Outside, the sun shone brightly, but inside the gorge, it was still gloomy and chilling.Looking up at the sky, only a thin line remained.Jiang Wang inexplicably thought, if someone were to live their entire life in this Soul-Severing Gorge, would they also feel that the sky was only this thin line?Sometimes, what limits one's thoughts is precisely one's knowledge and perception.The wind passed through the gorge, making a mournful sound like a ghost's weeping.The end of this Soul-Severing Gorge was said to connect to the Endless Flowing Sands.Judging from the seemingly endless length of this gorge, if compared vertically, Jiang Wang felt it could penetrate the grassland.And the northernmost parts of the States of Jing and Mu, the end of the border wilderness, were said to be connected to the Myriad Realms荒墓.He wondered if they had any connection...After walking inward for a while, Jiang Wang suddenly heard a "clang, clang, clang, clang" sound, the sound of some metal striking stone.Holding his sword, he advanced cautiously, then suddenly looked up and saw a person high in the sky, holding a thick-backed firewood chopping knife with both hands, descending along the cliff face from a high place, and constantly hacking at the cliff with the chopping knife during the descent.Jiang Wang could feel the explosive power surging within the person's body with each downward stroke, almost every strike was with full force.The knife striking the cliff also produced intense collision sounds—precisely the source of the "clang, clang, clang, clang" sound.What was surprising was that even though the person was exerting such effort, not a single knife mark was left on the cliff.Jiang Wang was very certain that the cliffs on both sides of this Soul-Severing Gorge were not protected by any special power, at least not in the places he could see.In other words, this person who was hacking at the cliff with a chopping knife was controlling his power in a near-perfect manner. He was constantly hacking and colliding, yet without harming the cliff in the slightest.Truly exquisite!Perhaps feeling the approach of another, the sound of chopping ceased abruptly, and the person descending along the cliff turned their gaze towards Jiang Wang.It was a young man with a youthful face but resolute eyes.Jiang Wang naturally remembered the impressive Lin Xian from the Yellow River Gathering.The Lin Xian who said, "The State of Rong is indeed very small, but it is very large in my heart"!Was he practicing his knife skills in this deserted Soul-Severing Gorge?"Jiang Wang?" It was Lin Xian who spoke first.Jiang Wang was a little surprised. With his hooded and linen-clothed attire, his face was not even revealed, yet Lin Xian recognized him?"How did you know it was me?" he asked.Lin Xian held his chopping knife and descended gracefully, landing in front of Jiang Wang, about thirty paces away."I recognize your sword," he said. "Although I didn't have a chance to fight you... I observed you for a long time."The young prodigy from the State of Rong, on the River Observing Platform, had observed the young prodigy from the State of Qi for a long time.These words naturally carried a sense of tragedy.How weak was the State of Rong, how strong was the State of Qi.But from the very beginning, he regarded the participating prodigies of the State of Qi as opponents, forging ahead, wanting to make a name for his country, wanting to reverse the decline of the State of Rong, wanting to爭得希望...However, he couldn't even pass the stage with Chu Min of the State of Xia.He could even recognize the Cangxiang Si still in its sheath, he had indeed observed for a long time."Is that so..." Jiang Wang said, "So, do you want to fight me today?"Lin Xian was silent for a moment, then said, "I am not your match."For this young man, this was probably a very difficult sentence. After all, when he was first trained, he was considered an imaginary enemy of the Inner Mansion realm prodigies of the State of Qi.But that person was too strong, had gone too far. The peak sword strike on the River Observing Platform, even now when he thought of it, still felt unattainable.Like this Soul-Severing Gorge, it was indeed endless.Woo woo woo.The sound of the wind in the Soul-Severing Gorge was like crying.
