Chapter 967: Chapter 967: What a Coincidence

The elder’s face drained of color in alarm.

His expertly crafted formation offered no resistance whatsoever, allowing this surge of energy to roll upwards unimpeded!

"Damn it, what the hell is happening?"

The elder quickly changed his hand seals once more, arranging a new formation in an attempt to block the wave.

However, no matter how powerful the formations he set up, in the face of this wave, they might as well have not existed at all.

They would crumble into dust with just a slight touch!

Though it seemed long, it was in fact incredibly brief.

A few breaths later, the energy wave had already surged to the mountain summit.

Only at this point did the elder see clearly that within it was a sword beam!

Sword beam?

The intruder had merely slashed once, and his formation was shattered!

How could this be possible?!

How could there be such a sword master in the Secular World?!

"Damn it, what is this thing?"

"Such terrifying pressure, who is this exalted figure?"

"Dammit, we can’t stop it! Quickly get out of the way!"

The three men in black faced the sword beam, their faces likewise blanching with fright, their hearts filled with panic.

The might of the sword beam left them without the slightest intention of resistance!

Thinking of defending against it was even more impossible!

The man in black felt that if he stood in front of this sword beam, he would probably be sliced in two immediately!

After a brief panic, the elder’s expression suddenly darkened, and he summoned a formidable force, gritting his teeth to stand firm before the sword beam.

He refused to believe that a mere mortal from the Secular World could possess such force in a single sword beam!

"Disperse!"

The elder uttered in a deep voice, striking out with his palm, unleashing a powerful force which collided with the sword beam in an instant.

Boom!

A deep rumbling explosion sounded, and the howling energy wave spread out in all directions, causing even the bystanders like the men in black to stagger and retreat continuously due to the sheer force.

After a moment, the energy wave died down, and the dust settled.

The elder stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of the cliff, his expression unusually calm.

It was as if the commotion that had transpired had no effect on him whatsoever.

This scene stirred the hearts of the three in black, intensifying their wariness of the elder!

The power of that sword beam was so astonishing that they themselves could never have withstood it!

Yet the Kunlun Gatekeeper had dispersed it with ease, the sheer magnitude of his strength was obvious for all to see!

Out of view, the elder’s face twitched violently, his features nearly twisting together!

He had seen a ghost!

Who on earth was that youngster at the foot of the mountain?

He had barely held off that sword beam with all his strength.

Now his chest and abdomen roiled with turbulent energy, his limbs stiff, which was why he had been standing motionless on the cliff for so long.

After a while, the elder finally managed to steady his circulation and exhaled a long breath.

"A mere sword cultivator from the Secular World dares to wreak havoc in my presence, utterly ignorant of his own insignificance!"

The elder huffed coldly, his voice resounding with disdain.

The three in black, upon witnessing this, were even more impressed.

Look at that disdainful tone, that confident demeanor!

One could tell at a glance that to him, the astounding sword beam from moments ago was utterly inconsequential!

The elder also turned to walk towards the Taoist Temple, seemingly paying no mind to the intruding figure.

In his view, having unleashed such a heaven-shaking sword, the intruder must have been exhausted by now.

Though many of his formations had been broken by that strike, a good number still remained throughout the mountain range.

Dealing with an exhausted Martial Artist would be more than manageable!

"If you want to leave, I could let you off," said the elder with a glance at the men in black, speaking indifferently.

His current strength was not what it used to be, and while these three might not pose a threat, if they harbored any thoughts of ambushing him, they could be a considerable risk.

Given his current condition, he might not be able to kill them, so it might be better to let them go.

Once his strength was restored, should they think to invade the mountain again, he would be able to deal with them effortlessly.

After exchanging a glance, the three simultaneously paid their respects with a bow.

"We humbly request that the senior allows us to stay and learn from you!"

Having witnessed the elder’s formidable prowess, they already aspired to his level.

In the Secular World, they were among the top Martial Artists, but their path forward was cut off, with no way to advance further.

They had long since lost any attachment to the worldly pleasures of the Secular World and only hoped to take another step on the path of martial arts.

So, without consultation, the three of them made the same decision.

The elder, seeing their action, raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when suddenly another calm voice rang out.

"What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to find you three here."

The elder’s heart skipped a beat, he swiftly turned his head, only to find three figures who had unexpectedly appeared atop the cliff.

The leader, a tall young man of striking appearance, seemed like a Transcendent Immortal, otherworldly and unrivaled.

Behind him, a girl and a burly man looked like two guards, both eying the elder with a fierce gaze.

"How... How are you here?"

The men in black, upon seeing the trio, showed an expression of complete surprise.

Weren’t these the very same people they had encountered at the foot of the mountain?

Both the man in white and the man in blue were equally baffled, not understanding how these three could have appeared here.

Upon seeing Ning Fan, the elder immediately realized the other’s identity.

"So you’re the intruder from before? Quite capable indeed, managing to make it all the way here!"

The elder too was quite astonished within, reasoning that after unleashing such a world-shattering sword, the other should be exhausted by now.

But no matter how he looked, this young man always appeared to have strength to spare.
