154: With a single sword strike, Li Chungang cleaved the heavens in two, leaving him stunned.

Looking at it now, the intelligence work of the Buzhao Ren is still not up to par.

The opponent reached the Heavenly Human Realm at such a young age, yet not a single piece of news had spread.

Could it be that this seemingly young person is actually an old monster who has lived for an unknown number of years? Is he just skilled in maintaining a youthful appearance? Is that why he looks so young?

Only this explanation could account for the current situation.

Yuan Tiangang racked his brains but could not think of anyone whose identity matched the opponent.

Helplessly, Yuan Tiangang could only take out his tortoise shell again to begin calculating the opponent's identity.

However, after the calculation, Yuan Tiangang's expression instantly became very interesting.

"How strange, how very strange. This person actually has a connection with the Duan Family of the Dali Kingdom. At such an age, the only one in the Duan Family who fits the criteria is that profligate prince, Duan Zhengchun."

"Could it really be him? It seems the rumors are largely untrue."

"Who would have thought that the profligate prince everyone talks about is actually a peerless Genius? The Duan Family has hidden themselves quite deeply indeed." Yuan Tiangang let out a long, heavy breath.

In a quiet courtyard in Snow Moon City, a graceful figure wearing a mask suddenly appeared. She then flew directly into the sky above Snow Moon City.

This person was none other than one of the three city lords of Snow Moon City, the Xueyue Sword Immortal Li Hanyi.

Li Hanyi fixed her eyes on the east, channeling Internal Energy into her eyes, only to see an incredibly massive sword descending from the clouds.

The Sword Intent contained in this sword was the strongest she had ever seen. Previously, she had only witnessed such terrifying Sword Intent from her Master, Eternal Life Li.

Then, two more figures appeared; they were the other two city lords of Snow Moon City, Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng.

"Are there two peerless Masters dueling?" Sikong Changfeng said in surprise.

Baili Dongjun held a wine flask in his hand, looking toward the east with sleepy eyes.

An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. If one looked closely, they would find what seemed to be a miniature sword shadow within them.

"Mhm, indeed. A Land Immortal and a Heavenly Human Realm Master."

"But why can't I feel any Sword Intent from him? Yet, he was the one who performed this terrifying sword technique?" Baili Dongjun's eyes were filled with doubt.

"This person's talent is absolutely terrifying. His primary cultivation is not the Sword Dao, so his Sword Intent isn't that pure."

"However, even without it, to still have such attainments in the Sword Dao shows just how terrifying his talent is," Li Hanyi said in a cold tone.

"Tsk tsk... The power of this sword... if I were to take it head-on, I'd probably lose a layer of skin even if I didn't die."

"And haven't you noticed? This person is too young. He's much younger than the two of us, and is about the same age as you, Hanyi," Sikong Changfeng said with a smile.

"This person's attainments in the Sword Dao are above mine. I am going out; you two keep an eye on Snow Moon City." After Li Hanyi finished speaking, she didn't wait for the two to agree before her figure vanished.

"Hey, you..."

"Is there a need to be in such a hurry? You haven't taken a liking to that pretty boy, have you?" Baili Dongjun said crossly.

However, just as he finished speaking, he felt a wave of chilliness strike.

Subconsciously turning his body to dodge, an invisible Sword Qi grazed past his ear and struck a distant mountain peak. Instantly, a section of the peak was sliced off.

Seeing the fate of the mountain peak, cold sweat broke out on Baili Dongjun's forehead.

"Holy crap, this woman is truly crazy," Baili Dongjun said, patting his chest.

"Haha... who told you to provoke her? Don't you know she's on the verge of a Breakthrough and has been looking for a Sword Dao Master to spar with to achieve it?"

"Now that she's finally encountered one, you actually said such a thing. Aren't you just asking for trouble!" Sikong Changfeng said with a laugh.

Baili Dongjun's face turned completely dark. He was just making a joke, yet this girl was so merciless.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with her. She can go wherever she wants; I don't care." Baili Dongjun took a depressed gulp of wine and turned to return to his room.

Sikong Changfeng looked at the distant Li Hanyi, an inexplicable light flickering in his eyes.

He had a feeling that something interesting would happen during the Second City Lord's departure this time. Should he follow her to take a look?

Perhaps he really could discover something extraordinary.

Anyway, there was nothing much going on in Snow Moon City right now. It would be fine even if the Great City Lord was alone. If something happened, he could just rush back.

"Hey, Baili, I'm going out for a bit. I'll leave Snow Moon City to you. Notify me if anything happens," Sikong Changfeng sent a voice transmission.

Without waiting for Baili Dongjun to agree, Sikong Changfeng had already vanished.

"Ah... Sikong, you bastard! You and that Hanyi girl are both no good, both running off and leaving me here alone!"

"I curse you both to never find a partner!" Baili Dongjun roared.

Unfortunately, no one answered him. By this time, Sikong Changfeng had already left Snow Moon City.

Li Hanyi left Snow Moon City, speeding all the way toward the east, toward the direction where that Sword Qi had descended.

Duan Zhengchun did not know that his single move, One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate, would cause such a stir.

In the Prince of Beiliangs Residence in Liyang, a One-Armed Old Man suddenly appeared above Tingchao Pavilion.

The old man looked toward the southeast, a look of shock appearing on his face.

"One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate? That's not right. Isn't this my unique ultimate move? How can someone else know this move?"

"It's truly unexpected. It seems I have still underestimated the people of this world."

After the One-Armed Old Man finished speaking, he returned directly to the basement of Tingchao Pavilion.

He had no intention of going out. There was no longer anyone or anything in this world that he cared about; he only wanted to spend the rest of his life here in peace... Duan Zhengchun released the Eight Tones Piercing Heart on Zhang Sanfeng, and the battle between the two ended.

The outcome was very surprising; Zhang Sanfeng had actually lost.

Of course, the two were not fighting to the death. If they had been, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

With Zhang Sanfeng's strength, if he had used killing moves from the start, Duan Zhengchun would likely have found it difficult to withstand them.

Neither of them felt any killing intent from the other, which was why they sparred in this manner.

"I'm old, truly old. I didn't expect that the Duan Family would truly produce a Dragon this time," Zhang Sanfeng said with emotion.

"This junior didn't exactly win this match. We were just sparring."

"If it were a true life-and-death struggle, this junior would be no match for Senior," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"You, kid, don't be so modest. This heavenly demon zither is truly bizarre."

"If you had taken it out from the start, before I found a way to crack it, I would have had no choice but to avoid its edge," Zhang Sanfeng said helplessly.

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said nothing. If it were truly a life-and-death struggle, he really wouldn't fear Zhang Sanfeng, especially since Li Qiushui was by his side.

If Li Qiushui were to pin down Zhang Sanfeng, it would be even easier for him to win.

However, Zhang Sanfeng had no killing intent toward him, so he naturally wouldn't deal a killing blow to Zhang Sanfeng either.

He still had great respect for Zhang Sanfeng's character.

Following that, Zhang Sanfeng said nothing more and left directly.

Duan Zhengchun wanted to keep him for a meal, but Zhang Sanfeng did not stay and left immediately.
