Chapter 1051: Shielding
Deep within the mountain forests, vegetation flourished, teeming with abundant Spiritual Energy.
The mountains hid countless spirits and endless varieties of immortal herbs. Wisps of ethereal mist drifted upward, lending an air of profound tranquility to the lush landscape.
After nightfall, insects chirped endlessly alongside the low growls of wild beasts. Sentient tiger demons presided over the depths, having awakened their intelligence to claim dominion over these lands.
Such were the wilds of the Cultivation World. The greener and more vibrant a forest appeared, the deeper the perils it hid. Careless cultivators who wandered into these woods often met gruesome ends, leaving not even bones behind.
Yet beneath the veil of night, the gleam of a Sword flashed and vanished through the trees.
A man with a cold, stern face gripped the Sword. His footsteps were as light as willow catkins, and when he leapt, he soared with the grace of a Celestial Immortal.
Ahead of him, a bloodstained figure fled desperately, running as if chased by a horde of malevolent ghosts.
The fleeing man pinched a Talisman, hoping to use it to escape.
But before the Talisman could ignite, the Sword's gleam slashed toward him!
