Chapter 599: Schemes Deep as the Sea! A Great Confucian’s Lifeblood! Crisis! A Young Daoist! A Cold and Aloof Celestial Maiden!
But the burly man gave him no chance. The sword light ten zhang in length flashed. The sword qi instantly tore a deep fissure into the ground.
Mr. Jinyan had no choice but to use righteous qi to dodge. Yet the burly man’s movements were incredibly fast, closing the distance to just a chi away from Mr. Jinyan. In his hand, the long sword became a blur.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of sword strikes rained down on Mr. Jinyan.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Ear-piercing sparks flew from his chest with each impact. A Confucian master at the advanced second realm should have an overwhelming advantage against most opponents.
Yet here he was, flustered and on the defensive against this single man. The attacker showed no shame whatsoever. He was clearly a powerful cultivator, yet he hid among ordinary wandering thugs, striking only through sneak attacks.
All these advantages combined put Mr. Jinyan at a disadvantage, and his life was hanging by a thread.
“Cease the fighting!” Mr. Jinyan shouted in a deep voice.
The long sword in the burly man’s hand suddenly grew as heavy as Mount Tai. It could no longer pierce through. Not just the burly man, all the fierce riders on the field dropped their weapons immediately.

Mr. Jinyan’s heart stirred.
He mobilized his righteous qi to form a protective barrier and coldly said, “Purity of Mind.”
