Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 965 - 254: Panic Spreading? Is Someone Helping the Imperial City Division Stall for Time?_4
So it was confirmed now, no longer conjecture, no longer doubt.
Just now, that extremely prominent sword light, he had definitely not seen it incorrectly.
"Who exactly is it, battling that enormous gu insect with magic?"
"That aura, it doesn’t seem to possess even a trace of divinity."
The First Rank Junior Commandant of the Imperial City Division narrowed his eyes.
No divinity...
That meant...
The being battling the enormous gu insect wasn’t an Immortal God.
The other party was just like these people.
A mere mortal!
As such an answer emerged in his mind, the First Rank Junior Commandant of the Imperial City Division was quite incredulous. He even began to doubt his own guess; could it be wrong? Did such a mortal truly exist in this world, who could achieve such a feat? Was there really someone who could unleash a sword light like the one just seen? If that sword light had been unleashed on the ground of Ying Tian City, who could have withstood it?
A host of names, some familiar and some not so much, flickered through the mind of the First Rank Junior Commandant of the Imperial City Division. Then he shook his head because among those names that surfaced, he felt not a single one could withstand the sword light from the sky above moments ago. One might even say that not even if these individuals were bound together could they withstand it!
Such an individual, in his memory, could only possibly be... the National Master from within the Imperial City, the one who, in a mortal body, possessed a heavenly cultivation comparable to the Immortal Gods. It was precisely for this reason that the emperor of the Shangwu Dynasty trusted the National Master so profoundly. There was even a rumor circulating among the populace—Shangwu had two masters, the National Master and the emperor ruled together!
Although such a rumor was undoubtedly spread by those with an agenda targeting the National Master, the fact that the National Master had the credentials to be the subject of such an outrageous rumor was enough to demonstrate how formidable he was. Could this be someone similar to the National Master... could there be a second such individual in the world? Who... who exactly was this person?
"Go!" Thinking this, he once again fiercely lashed his horsewhip. Immediately, he cast aside the myriad thoughts in his mind, his expression returning to its usual seriousness and solemnity. Then, he addressed another Commandant who was also riding at a gallop beside him, "Given our current pace, how much longer will it take us to reach that location?"
"Sir, it will take only the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea!" replied the person beside him, who was also a commandant, but merely a First Rank Junior Commandant; their titles differed by just one word. But their ranks were worlds apart. Above a First Rank Junior Commandant there were Third and Second Rank Senior Commandants, and then... a First Rank Senior Commandant!
"Half a cup of tea..." The First Rank Junior Commandant of the Imperial City Division frowned deeply, unable to wait that long. With that thought, he harnessed his mana and suddenly rose into the air, appearing on the eaves of a roof in a blink of an eye.
Before he swiftly set off using his light-body skill, he left an order behind: "Those who can keep up with this commandant, do so immediately! The rest, continue to ride on horseback! Make sure you reach there with the utmost speed."
It was merely a single sword strike from Fan Wu that had caused such an uproar which, at the root of it, was because there were so many cultivators within Ying Tian City.
If there weren’t many cultivators in this place, they probably wouldn’t even be clear about what had transpired.
