With the Blade

After all, with this power, he can do anything.

Just like now, although the warhorse that had accompanied him for who knows how long unfortunately died in the collapsed imperial tomb, he was running faster than any horse at full speed. Even though he didn’t have wings, during his pursuit of the grey-black phoenix, he could let himself soar through the air just by momentum—though only for a few steps, it was still overcoming gravity. Given time, perhaps he truly could fly just using his own strength.

As for destructive power... there’s no need to elaborate. Like just now, faced with the extraordinarily unreasonable request made by that farmer, Du Chengfeng handled it with ease, slicing through a mountain with just one strike. This was the confidence his strength brought him.

With such power, he no longer had opponents. Was there anything in the world he couldn’t do?

"There is."

Looking at the pile of vegetation and rubble before him, Du Chengfeng felt a bit bewildered.

He could easily open up a mountain, but if he needed to turn this land into fields... how was he supposed to do it?

Du Chengfeng fell into deep thought.

As for farming, it wasn’t like he hadn’t done it before. After all, when he first arrived in this world, he had worked odd jobs in Yangjia Fort—but those memories had faded, not to mention he hadn’t exactly opened up fields, he was just helping others till the soil. If it were up to him to single-handedly cultivate a field... how was it supposed to be done?

He didn’t know. He had never considered this question.

"Excuse me, warrior..."

Next to Du Chengfeng, the farmer named Yu Lao’er spoke up.

"This is already quite impressive, I can handle the rest myself..."

"I said, don’t speak yet, let me think quietly."

Du Chengfeng blocked Yu Lao’er to the side, indicating that he should not disturb him.

After all, when there were almost no opponents left, he suddenly faced the greatest enemy of his life.

Despite being able to do everything, he encountered something he couldn’t do.

So was this so-called omnipotence truly omnipotent?

"I don’t believe it!"

Du Chengfeng stood up abruptly, unsheathing his large knife once again.

He had such powerful strength, strength unrivaled in the world, how could he fail to accomplish this little task?

Considering the people he had personally killed were piled higher than the mountain just now!

"Boom—"

The wide blade swung down again, carrying overwhelming force.

But nothing seemed to change before his eyes.

The rubble was indeed more shattered, the vegetation even more fragmented, but the ruins remained ruins, showing no sign of a field.

Yet Yu Lao’er beside him seemed frightened by the strike, quivering for quite a while.

But Du Chengfeng, whose senses were keen, clearly heard Yu Lao’er muttering softly.

"How can everything be smashed to pieces? It’ll be a hassle to pick them out later..."

"...Huh?"

Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded.

These shattered stones and broken plants, were they meant to be picked out?

They did seem to need picking out. After all, when he had worked in Yangjia Fort, he hadn’t seen such clutter in the fields—but a new problem arose. Even with the strength to cleave mountains, could his power clean all the trash from the ruins in one stroke?

Apparently not.

If he truly swung the knife again, the first to be blown away would be the lighter soil, and only after the soil was moved would the heavier stones and plant debris follow.

In other words, he might be able to blow away the trash, but all that would remain would be... a big hole?

"Hmm..."

Du Chengfeng’s expression grew increasingly grim.

This power he thought was unmatched in the world couldn’t even handle something as simple as clearing trash, let alone cultivating fields.

Perhaps he had never reached any sort of invincibility, and there was no existence of being unbeatable.

Simply because, in this world, there were things he couldn’t do.

Plowing fields, picking up trash, was harder than battling that nameless giant!

These seemingly insignificant tasks in his eyes turned out to be such formidable opponents!

"Wait."

Du Chengfeng suddenly turned to look at Yu Lao’er beside him.

"Did you just say you can handle it?"

"Yes."

Though his body still trembled instinctively, Yu Lao’er nodded.

"What can’t be done? The mountain is down, the rest is much easier..."

"Hmm?"

Du Chengfeng’s gaze turned stiff.

Even what he, this supposedly unrivaled in the world, could not do, this seemingly ordinary farmer could accomplish?

Not only accomplish but claim it’s simple!

"How will you do it?"

Du Chengfeng’s voice even trembled.

"This is an entire mountain of stones and wood, how will you handle it?"

"Carry them away bit by bit."

Saying this, Yu Lao’er had already picked up a piece of broken stone.

"The stones can be used to build a canal, or see if anyone else needs them, the good wood could be sold, and the bad ones used as firewood, carry out some each day, it’ll get done eventually, even if it can’t be finished in my lifetime, my son’s generation can finish it... Hey, warrior, what are you doing?"

"Don’t touch it, this is my matter."

Du Chengfeng snatched the stones Yu Lao’er had picked up and directly pushed him away from the ruins.

This was his opponent, his personal enemy. Until a winner was decided, he wouldn’t allow anyone to meddle.

Especially a victor like Yu Lao’er.

Indeed, he might have unparalleled strength and defeated the mightiest foes. At least for now, he couldn’t find a worthy opponent.

But that was only defeating humans.

Having beaten humans, he considered himself omnipotent, but ultimately he was defeated by this mountain or rather the ruins left behind by the mountain.

Indeed, he had sliced through the mountain, but did he achieve what he wanted?

No.

From this perspective, he had already lost.

However, the seemingly ordinary farmer beside him, Yu Lao’er, had not lost.

Even though that plan was so prolonged, even though the act seemed rather foolish, Du Chengfeng could feel that this farmer named Yu Lao’er would become the ultimate victor in this battle against the mountain.

So he couldn’t let Yu Lao’er interfere.

If Yu Lao’er could do it, why couldn’t he?

"Phew..."

Du Chengfeng exhaled deeply.

To defeat an opponent, first, you must understand them... right?

Thus, even though he had never bowed his head to any fierce enemy, even when facing that nameless giant, Du Chengfeng bent down for the first time.

Picked up a stone from the ground.
