On the official highway, Xiao Se and Yan Zhantian stood facing each other. Yan Zhantian sneered and raised his sword. "This time, no one will come to rescue you."

Xiao Se eyed the huge Army Destroyer sword and yawned. "Why would I need someone else to rescue me!"

"Just relying on yourself in that Vajra Mortal Realm?" With one glance, Yan Zhantian saw through Xiao Se's current skill level.

"With one staff, I am Unrestrained!" Xiao Se took a flying leap, exerting his Cloud Step Wind Riding skill to the extreme, and with one step, arrived in front of Yan Zhantian.

His long staff swung down, Yan Zhantian's sword moved slightly, and he dispersed all of the power in that strike!

"Second staff, enter Unfettered!" Xiao Se shouted, raised his long staff, and swung it down again!

Within moments, he progressed two realms in succession! What would have taken tens of years of intense training was a mere thought for Xiao Se!

But back then, Xiao Se was also in the Unfettered Heavenly Realm, yet he couldn’t get past more than a few rounds under Yan Zhantian's hands. How was he different now?

Of course he was different! Yan Zhantian felt the power within the staff, leaped back lightly, and backed away. Xiao Se hit the ground with his staff, smashing a hole as large as a man.

"Not bad. After spending these last few years tempering yourself, you are indeed much stronger than before. Although you’re also in the Unfettered Heavenly Realm like before, the present you are qualified to fight with me," Yan Zhantian said evenly.

Xiao Se raised his long staff and gasped for breath. Of course, he knew that even if he managed to progress two realms in a flash, the gap between him and Yan Zhantian was still huge. If he wanted to defeat his opponent, he had to use all of his power and stake it all in one desperate move.

Yan Zhantian suddenly withdrew his sword.

Xiao Se furrowed his brows, his grip tight on his staff.

"I won't kill you." Yan Zhantian turned around slowly.

"Why?" Xiao Se asked.

Yan Zhantian sneered briefly. "There is no why." When he attacked, he never gave a chance. When he killed, he never asked right or wrong. Whenever Yan Zhantian killed, it was never a matter of reason. In the same way, when he didn’t kill, he also didn’t need a reason.

"Farewell. I look forward to the day when you become a true martial expert. When the day comes, I will come and kill you again!" Yan Zhantian leapt into the air and swept away.

Xiao Se let out a long sigh of relief and slowly put down his long staff.

"Ride! Ride!" Lanyue Marquis waved his horse whip vigorously, leading a thousand three hundred Brave Tiger Guards in a fast-paced gallop. But suddenly, he saw a figure in the distance coming towards them, his speed a cause for alarm. He hurriedly pulled his reins. "Whoa! All men on guard! All men on guard!"

In the time it took for Lanyue Marquis to shout his commands, the figure had already arrived in front of them. The man wore a huge hat to cover his face, and he carried a huge long sword on his back. He did not ride a horse, but he was much faster than the guards on their horses. As he approached them, the man suddenly drew his sword.

Lanyue Marquis also drew his sabre in response.

Everyone in Heavenly Revelations City knew that Lanyue Marquis often carried an exquisite long sabre at his waist. At first they thought it was just for show because no one had ever seen him draw it before. But, once, he encountered assassins from the Western Regions. With a single wave of his long sabre, Lanyue Marquis cut off three heads and people realised that Lanyue Marquis’s martial arts were by no means ordinary.

He did not unsheath his sabre easily, only when he faced dangerous enemies.

Lanyue Marquis had just drawn his sabre when he immediately sheathed it again.

The swordsman wearing the hat stood next to Lanyue Marquis’s horse, his huge sword thrusted into the soil.

One thousand three hundred Brave Tiger Guards, and not a single one of them saw exactly what happened.

Only Lanyue Marquis knew that he made a move with his sabre just now, and the man in front of him also made a sword move. At first glance, the outcome could not be determined, but his sabre was forced back into its sheath yet his opponent’s sword landed firmly beside him.

Their relative strength was obvious.

Furthermore, the power in the sword just now was way too strong. Right now, his hands couldn’t stop trembling. Lanyue Marquis reached out his left hand, pretending to steady his right hand in a casual manner as he asked with a smile, "Yan Zhantian?"

The Wrath Sword Immortal had always had a disagreeable personality, and naturally he wouldn’t give any face to this Marquis who held overwhelming influence as the regent of the state. He sneered and commented, "The sabre is very beautiful, the sabre techniques are pathetic."

Lanyue Marquis shook his head and said, "I have to handle state affairs, after all. Of course I can’t train daily like you, Mister."

"You have state affairs but instead of handling them, why are you ignoring your post as regent of state in Heavenly Revelations to come out here in the wilderness?" Yan Zhantian asked with interest.

"I’ve always heard that Mister holds himself aloof from the world and its concerns, going about killing people and setting fire. Why? Have you become interested in my Beili state affairs? This Marquis is really surprised," Lanyue Marquis said with a faint smile.

"Golden Lanyue Marquis? Goodbye." Yan Zhantian drew his long sword from the ground, took a flying leap and left. He completely ignored the one thousand three hundred Brave Tiger Guards.

Lanyue Marquis breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed a terrible thing to meet Yan Zhantian. Such a person was not afraid of power, and cared even less for etiquette. Although the one thousand three hundred Brave Tiger Guards were all courageous men, even adding in his own sabre, they would not have been his match. Fortunately, Yan Zhantian didn't seem interested in stopping them. Otherwise, he would be dead right there before he could meet the person he was looking for.

"Let’s go!" Lanyue Marquis flicked his reins, and the whole battalion travelled for another few miles on the road. Suddenly, they saw a rider in blue robes rushing towards them. Lanyue Marquis watched him intently and exclaimed in joy, "Chuhe!"

One thousand three hundred Brave Tiger Guards felt a twinge in their hearts at the same time. They raised their heads to look, and saw the man who could change Heavenly Revelations whether he was in the court or out in the country. He was Yong'an Prince!

Xiao Se also noticed Lanyue Marquis. He frowned slightly, but ignored him, merely waving the long staff in his hand.

"Give way!" Lanyue Marquis understood immediately and ordered loudly. One thousand three hundred Brave Tiger Guards immediately divided into two, opening up a road in between them.

"Huang-shu." Xiao Se rode through, slowed down, and bowed his head slightly.

"You’re back." Lanyue Marquis chuckled.

"No, not yet. I haven’t seen that city yet!" Xiao Se flicked his horse whip and galloped right through the gap between the men.

Lanyue Marquis eyed Xiao Se as he rode past and shook his head lightly. "You haven’t changed a bit. Still an arrogant and stubborn wild horse that cannot be tamed. Only the little pony has grown up, and no one can control him anymore."

"Marquis, there’s an army approaching." The Brave Tiger Guards commander suddenly came forward and reported.

"An army?" Lanyue Marquis was stunned. "How many people."

A soldier with his ears flattened on the ground immediately stood up. "Just now, they were too far away and I thought they sounded like three thousand cavalry soldiers. Now, I’m almost certain that they should be one thousand heavy cavalry."

"How far away?" Lanyue Marquis frowned and murmured to himself, "Heavy cavalry? Why would a heavy cavalry unit appear here?"

"Six miles away." The soldier crouched down and listened carefully again. "No, five miles. They are clearly a heavy cavalry unit, but why are they marching so fast!"

The commander tightened his grip on his long sabre and glanced at Lanyue Marquis. "Marquis, should we…"

Lanyue Marquis pondered for a brief moment and then shouted sharply, "All men on guard. Prepare to meet the enemy!"
