The wind howled, and snow like goose feathers fell thick and fast.
Under this extremely harsh weather, a young man could be seen pressing forward against the storm.
This was the depths of Kunlun Mountain.
A place called a human forbidden zone. In all the years of comings and goings, no one had ever seen anyone with such courage to venture here.
To them, everything about this place was unscientific.
And at this moment, Chen Fan stood at the entrance to a massive valley.
Inside the valley, the wind roared like a colossal phantom singing a dirge for life.
The Kunlun Secret Realm was naturally not easy to challenge.
And unlike last time, though his strength was greater, the trials he would face were also much more peculiar than before.
Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his emotions.
Chen Fan clenched his fists and slowly walked forward.
"No matter what hardships or dangers stand before me, today, I will break through!"
He roared and took his first step.
In an instant.
The wind stopped.
The heavy snow also disappeared.
What appeared before Chen Fan was a stretch of lush green grassland.
Like a boundless ocean, it stretched as far as the eye could see.
Chen Fan squinted, clearly stunned by the scene before him.
But he quickly calmed down.
In front of him, a man sat cross-legged in the grassland, with his five senses turned heavenward.
Hearing the sound, he slowly opened his eyes.
They were a pair of sapphire blue eyes, like gemstones.
Deep and azure, a single glance seemed as if one's soul would be swallowed whole.
Chen Fan looked at the strange man before him, his expression growing serious.
"You've arrived."
"I have."
With just these simple words exchanged, Chen Fan had already drawn the Tian Cong Yun Sword, ready to fight.
"You are far more impatient than before. I thought you would patiently listen to what I have to say!" The man slowly stood up, smiled slightly, and looked at Chen Fan.
"You cannot stop me," Chen Fan said again.
At this moment, the man shook his head and took a deep breath.
Moments later, the entire grassland was swept by a gale. The tender blades of grass, just beginning to show their tips, were uprooted.
In an instant, they gathered into countless small swords, hovering around the man.
Controlling objects with qi.
Shaping form with qi.
This man's skills were truly profound, far more powerful than he had imagined.
Looking at him now, Chen Fan felt a sense of pressure.
"Young men like you are indeed rare! To break in here alone, and to still believe you can leave unscathed, you are thinking too simply!" The man smiled faintly and walked forward. "So today, I shall teach you a lesson!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a 'clang'.
These flowers and green leaves.
At this moment, they emitted sounds like the clash of metal.
This indicated that the small swords formed from these flowers and leaves were no ordinary matter.
Accompanied by the sound of tearing through the air, countless small swords flew towards Chen Fan.
Their speed was extreme.
Like streaks of lightning.
At this moment, Chen Fan let out a cold laugh. He had practiced diligently for so long, even going to great lengths.
To be defeated here would be utterly ridiculous.
The Tian Cong Yun Sword emitted a white light. Chen Fan roared, and the sword in his hand plunged directly into the ground.
'Boom!'
With a rumble, a wave of air surged from the ground.
The barrier formed by condensed sword qi, like a pair of iron fists, forcefully shattered these small swords, turning them back into countless blades of grass.
The man coughed lightly, stumbling back several steps.
He stamped a pit into the ground with one foot before halting his momentum, but blood still trickled from the corner of his mouth.
His gaze towards Chen Fan now changed.
Good lad.
In such a short time, he had achieved such immense improvement. Even now, he could do nothing against this young man.
Looking at Chen Fan before him, he had to admit that this young man was different from before.
"The same thing will not happen twice. What you Kunlun Secret Realm did back then, do you intend to repeat it?" Chen Fan glared at the man before him, his expression becoming increasingly grave.
Tragedy would not be replayed.
His arrival at the Kunlun Secret Realm this time was to settle all scores.
Facing Chen Fan's questioning, the man let out a cold snort. "Youngster, what do you know? Young people like you, who think they understand this world, do you know that what you are doing right now is harming her?"
"Nonsense, how can I believe you?"
Chen Fan shouted, and once again charged forward with his sword.
Facing Chen Fan's attack, a hint of helplessness flashed across the man's face. It seemed a hard battle was unavoidable today.
"Since you are so misguided, I shall, on behalf of my master, teach you a good lesson."
The man spread his arms wide, as if embracing the sea.
The next moment, all the tender grass on the grassland soared into the air, coalescing into a giant sword aimed at Chen Fan.
At this moment, Chen Fan began his preparations.
The Tian Cong Yun Sword trembled incessantly, emitting a soft hum.
At this point, Chen Fan understood that this divine artifact was also becoming agitated, eager to unleash its power.
He looked at the man before him and said in a low voice, "I know what you are thinking, but I still advise you not to court disaster! Surrender now, and you might suffer less!"
"Hmph, die!" The man roared, and the giant sword descended.
The sound of tearing through the air echoed, and the entire space seemed to crack, as if about to be rent apart by this immense force.
Yet, Chen Fan appeared confident, as if he had everything under control. He was not the same as he was before and would not be defeated this easily.
Then, right before the man.
Chen Fan raised his left hand and, with bare hands, firmly grasped the giant sword. His fingers interlocked, unleashing immense power. He actually crushed the grass sword formed by true qi.
Simultaneously, he swung the Tian Cong Yun Sword with his right hand.
Countless sword qi swirled in the air, like giant dragons, attacking the man.
The man spat out a mist of blood, and his body retreated repeatedly.
His gaze towards Chen Fan now turned tense and worried.
This kid is too strong.
His meticulously prepared move was so easily crushed by this young man.
Looking at Chen Fan's expression, it was clear that all of this was merely an appetizer for him.
Has this young man truly become this terrifying?
