The three Purple Mask assassins began to feel immense pressure. From the very beginning, facing Xuan Mo alone had already left them struggling to keep up. His sword was simply too fast, and every attack he launched seemed capable of finding a gap in their defenses. Now, with Ying Fei arriving and possessing comparable strength, their situation had truly turned into a nightmare."Damn it! We can't keep holding on like this!" one of the assassins shouted while parrying Xuan Mo's attack."If we keep fighting, we'll definitely die! Find an opportunity to escape!" his companion replied, his voice ragged with exhaustion.However, escaping was not as easy as they had imagined. Xuan Mo and Ying Fei seemed to have already anticipated their intentions. Whenever one of the assassins attempted to retreat, an attack from one of the two martial experts immediately blocked his escape route.Clang! Clang! Clang!The sound of clashing weapons rang loudly throughout the courtyard. Waves of internal ene

Ying Fei nearly choked when he heard Xuan Mo's revelation. He stared at the Jade-Faced Swordsman in disbelief, as though he still found it difficult to accept that the little boy who had demonstrated such extraordinary combat abilities was only eight years old. However, after a moment, he finally shook his head with a bitter smile.He knew there was no reason for Xuan Mo to lie about his own disciple's age. Moreover, based on their relationship over the years, Xuan Mo was not the kind of person who exaggerated things just to gain recognition from others.Ying Fei let out a long sigh. "It seems I've truly spent too long ignoring the developments at the Hundred Swords Mountain Sect. Back then, your appearance alone was enough to astonish the entire martial world. Your talent in swordsmanship even made many senior martial artists feel ashamed of their own achievements. I thought someone like you would appear only once in several generations, but who could have imagined that you would now

The Sword Tower was one of the most important places in the Hundred Swords Mountain Sect. It was not merely a symbol of the sect's prestige, but also a place where martial artists could test their abilities, understanding, and achievements in pursuit of a higher status. The tower had four floors, each containing different challenges for disciples who wished to take the Sword Elder selection examination.The challenge on the first floor was intended for those seeking recognition as Third-Class Warriors. Those who passed the second floor would be acknowledged as Second-Class Warriors, while those who conquered the challenges on the third floor would earn the title of First-Class Warriors. The fourth floor, meanwhile, was the most difficult test of all. Anyone who managed to pass it would be recognized as an Expert Warrior, an achievement that could not be attained through talent or strength alone.However, one particular rule made the selection even more special. Anyone who passed the S

Long Tian lifted the short sword Ying Fei had just given him and slowly drew it from its blue scabbard. A cold gleam immediately reflected off the polished blade, revealing its sharpness and causing him to raise his eyebrows slightly. He carefully moved the sword, feeling the balance between the blade and the hilt. Judging by its appearance, the sword seemed almost brand new, without any significant scratches or signs of damage from prolonged use.However, Long Tian did not judge a weapon solely by its appearance. He examined the blade from its base to its tip, then moved his wrist to assess its weight. The longer he inspected it, the more apparent it became that the weapon had been crafted with extraordinary skill.Ying Fei watched Long Tian with a satisfied smile. He then explained, "The sword is called the White Eagle. It cannot quite be considered a Treasure Sword, but its sharpness comes close to that of such weapons. I acquired it when I was young and used it for many years. It

The following morning, Xuan Mo decided to leave the Liu Family residence. After breakfast, he took Long Tian to bid farewell to Liu Chengdu.Upon hearing that they were leaving so soon, Liu Chengdu immediately tried to persuade them to stay. He rose from his chair and said earnestly, "Elder Xuan, why are you in such a hurry to leave? You have just gone through a major battle against the Sinful Flower Organization. Although the situation at the residence is beginning to stabilize, I still feel that I have not done enough to express my gratitude for everything you have done. At the very least, please stay for a few more days. I will have my people prepare everything you need before you continue your journey. If there is anything you require, just let me know. As long as it is within the Liu Family's capabilities, I will do my best to provide it."Xuan Mo shook his head with a faint smile. "I appreciate your kindness, Second Young Master Liu, but we really must leave. There are important
