Chapter 1101
“Has he left?”

Jian Wushuang had no intention of chasing after the man in gold armor at all .
In truth, even if his opponent remained behind, he had to leave .
After all, he had expended his entire repertoire of swordsmanship but only managed to cut off one of the man’s arms . His opponent could regenerate his arm back instantly, and he did not seem to have lost any of his battle strength .
If the battle continued on, most likely Jian Wushuang would have lost .
“I perfected my Death Shadow by combining both Essences of speed and slowness in it . Most importantly, my consciousness attack coupled with Killing Intent should have been even more powerful, but he easily blocked my consciousness attack . He didn’t even seem to be affected much by it!” thought Jian Wushuang, secretly surprised .
To Jian Wushuang, even an advanced Celestial Master would have trouble blocking such an attack, much less be so unaffected by it .
“He’s also a Celestial Master like Empyrean Patriarch, but this man is much stronger than him . His consciousness is especially powerful,” muttered Jian Wushuang .
“These experts from the Jin Kingdom came from the Eternal Chaotic World, and more or less they have spent some time trying to make a living there; naturally, they’ll not be lacking in quality . The Green Fire Palace can hold its own with the Jin Kingdom because it has gained many treasures due to its strategic location, which is situated on a huge battlefield . If not…” Gu King’s voice rang in Jian Wushuang’s mind again .
Jian Wushuang could not hold in his laughter . He did not think too much about it, however, and he walked directly toward the bronze colored stone pillar which the man in gold armor had been standing at previously .
As he came to the front of the pillar, he saw the word ‘Kill’ carved into its center .

The moment he saw the word…
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Roar after roar echoed in his mind as he felt a terrible surge of Killing Intent engulfing him . His pupils shrank violently as his figure flew backward by a few steps .
He only lifted his head again once he was far away from the pillar .
“What a fearsome rush of Killing Intent it was . In fact, it’s much stronger than that of mine, which was made using the Killing Bead,” thought Jian Wushuang secretly . At the same time, he also realized something . “No wonder that expert from the Jin Kingdom could withstand my consciousness attack easily . So he has been cultivating his skills all this while at this stone pillar . ”
The terrible Killing Intent emanating from the word on the stone pillar could have been used to train one’s consciousness .
Evidently, the man in gold armor had stayed in front of the pillar to train his consciousness . As such, his consciousness was naturally extremely robust .
“Jian Wushuang, the Killing Intent in this word is formidable . Do you want to follow the Jin Kingdom expert’s lead and stay here for a while more to practice?” Gu King asked .
“Stay here to train my consciousness?” Jian Wushuang considered the proposal for a while before finally shaking his head and replying, “No, even though the surge of Killing Intent from this pillar is powerful, so is my consciousness . It won’t have much effect on me, and it’s not worth my time . ”

“Furthermore, the man from the Jin Kingdom has just left, and who’s to say if he’ll return after a while? Maybe he’ll even bring other experts from the Jin Kingdom here . Therefore, it’s still better for me to leave . ”
Jian Wushuang made his decision and immediately left to seek his fortune in the vast battlefield surrounding him .
Time slowly passed .
The battlefield was too huge .
Even though many Celestial Masters of the Green Fire Palace and the Jin Kingdom wandering about the battlefield, it was too vast for them to be noticeable .
For the next 30 years, the last person Jian Wushuang met was the man in gold armor; he never saw anyone else .
He spent all his energy to look for opportunities on the battlefield during this time .
There were many opportunities to be found on the battlefield . Just the marks left behind by experts as they battled alone were numerous . Even though they had been made a very long time ago, they still contained much profound meaning .
These could also be considered as opportunities .
Jian Wushuang was sitting quietly by himself on a hill, but he kept his gaze fixed on the ground below him .

There was a huge imprint of a claw on the ground; five incredibly deep claw marks could be seen .
The claw marks stretched for 50,000 kilometers . Even though they were made many years ago, their power still had a chilling effect . It was an extremely violent and swift sort of power, and there were even signs of pure Yang energy from the marks left behind .
Jian Wushuang had been on the hill for exactly two years . During this time, he tried to understand the profundity of the message left behind by the claw marks .
The move made with these claws was similar to his own Scarlet Yang Sword Principle; they were both direct and made with pure Yang energy .
Even so, it was just a mark left during battle after all . Its owner had not left it behind on purpose, and there was no message contained in it . As such, Jian Wushuang felt that spending two years trying to figure it out was enough and got up to leave .
He continued to move forward in the Void, a faint smile on his lips .
He had spent the past 30 years wandering in this uncharted territory by himself . Along the way, he met with some opportunities, and even though they were small ones, overall they increased his strength considerably . He had also managed to collect a few magic weapons and had managed to accumulate more than 2,000 points, therefore he considered himself to have profited quite a lot all in all .
Just at this moment…
“Hmm?”
All of a sudden, his expression changed and he stopped subconsciously .
He fished out a token—it was the same token Tang Emperor gave him, and it could help him sense nearby companions .
It was the first time he had encountered anyone from his own side since wandering around the battlefield after leaving the Green Fire Palace .
“Finally, I’ve managed to find someone on my side after all this time, and not to mention in this unknown territory . I’d better go over to say hi,” Jian Wushuang muttered with a faint smile . He then allowed the token to guide him toward the stranger .
Two figures were floating side by side in front of a hill made up entirely of purple gems .
One of them had a slender-looking face and was clad in black robes . He grew a beard and seemed to be of middle age .
The other was a bright-eyed, short and hunchbacked elder .
“I can feel it . That thing should be underneath this hill,” said the hunchbacked elder .
“Since that’s the case, what are we waiting for? Let’s go directly in,” said the middle-aged man in black robes .
“Let’s not hurry . Someone is approaching,” said the hunchback as he turned his gaze to the Void at their side, his face expressionless and inscrutable .
Indeed, a figure was approaching slowly along his line of sight .
“Luckily, its one of us,” the hunchbacked elder laughed .
