  The Taixuan Kingdom is among the sixteen countries of ASEAN, it's not the strongest but also absolutely not the weakest.

  Especially in terms of national economic development, it is among the top five in all ASEAN countries. This can be glimpsed from the main road under Wang Ting's feet.

  He has already left the academy, gone out of town and walked more than 20 kilometers. Even the surrounding towns and villages are gradually decreasing, but the road under his feet is still paved with fine and flat bluestone, wide and spacious. To say nothing of riding a horse, even if he were to drive a car at high speed, he wouldn't feel any bumps. The quality may not be comparable to the roads in his world, but in terms of workmanship, it's already on par with ordinary cement roads.

  Read ten thousand volumes of books and walk ten thousand miles!

  Wang Ting did not rent a carriage or ride a horse on this trip, but instead used his own two feet to walk out of the city gate and arrive here. He carefully sensed the unfamiliar customs and people along the way, savoring the rich feeling of his feet touching the earth.

  "Bang!"

  Night is about to fall.

  At this moment, they had already left the city for a full thirty kilometers, and Wang Ting's figure came to a stop.

  "From inside the city to outside the city, how long are you going to follow me?"

  Wang Ting suddenly spoke up.

  At this moment around here, except for a small path in the distance, there is no sign of anyone else, only village houses and dim lights.

  "Hmm? I didn't think you'd notice my presence."

  After a moment of silence, a somewhat cold voice suddenly rang out in the wilderness.

  Right after that, a man wearing a tight outfit with a long sword hanging from his waist slowly walked out of the small woods beside the road.

  "The Gong Sun Family?"

  "Huh? What's going on..."

  "I have offended the Gongsun family."

  As Wang Ting spoke, his hand slowly drew out the sword at his waist.

  "Great! As expected, you're quite interesting. A minor high-ranking warrior, daring to draw your sword in front of me, a high-ranking swordsman!"

  This strong man was none other than Hu Yi, a high-ranking swordsman and guard sent by the Gong Sun family.

  "Draw your sword."

  Wang Tingdao nodded.

  High-Order Swordsman.

  By the standards of this world, he is by no means inferior to the top masters of that world. The high-ranking swordsman in front of him may be less refined in his swordsmanship due to being a vassal, and the pressure he brings is not as strong as that of Xi Yue Jian, but the identity of the high-ranking swordsman is there, making him the strongest enemy Wang Ting has encountered since arriving in this world.

  "Alright, so..."

  Hu Yi's words trailed off as the light in his eyes gradually coalesced.

  The high-ranking swordsmen in this world may not be as good as those in that world, but to cultivate to the level of a high-ranking swordsman is by no means an easy feat.

  In the instant his gaze converged, a high-ranking swordsman's pressure had already come rushing forth. This was a kind of aura that only a strong individual who possessed extremely strong confidence in their own swordsmanship and strength could form.

  "As expected, there's some doorway."

  Seeing Wang Ting unaffected by his own aura, the high-ranking swordsman's hand slowly moved to the hilt of his sword.

  "Clang!"

  After his aura gathered at one point, he suddenly drew his sword.

  The powerful force beneath their feet simultaneously caused the greenstone at the spot where they stepped to be shaken out with a large amount of debris.

  With this momentum, the high-ranking swordsman's muscles and bones resonated, his blood boiling, as a powerful and oppressive aura burst forth from his entire body. The sword in his hand was like a shooting star piercing the moon, leaving a dazzling trail in the somewhat dim evening light...

  Bang!

  Flames shooting in all directions.

  Wang Ting relied on the powerful spirit of a sixth-stage Spirit Master to sense the trajectory of his opponent's sword in the first moment, and with a movement of his body, he slashed sideways with his sword, already landing on one side of Hu Yi's sword. He attempted to use this sword to force his opponent off balance and create an opening.

  However, at the moment when the two swords intersected, a thick and powerful force burst forth from the opponent's sword, causing his palm to violently shake, and blood spurted out on the spot.

  That high-ranking swordsman took advantage of this moment, suddenly taking a step forward, closing in on his body, and punching out.

  "Boom!"

  Wang Ting's body swiftly twisted, attempting to dissipate the force of this punch. However, a high-ranking swordsman, even with a hasty strike, still contained power that far exceeded what he could withstand. With one punch, his body was directly sent flying, and the sound of shattering bones echoed through the night sky.

  "Get down!"

  Flying King Ting, Hu Yi didn't stop his pursuit and launched a relentless attack. The entire process was smooth and swift, not giving him any chance to catch his breath. The next heavy punch came down fiercely, and once it landed, with his high-level martial artist physique, he wouldn't be able to get up again.

  "Spiritual Secret Art! Thunder Realm!"

  "Rumble!"

  Those six short words made Hu Yi's brain shake violently, as if a thunderous explosion had erupted in his mind, sending shockwaves of terror crashing against the walls of his skull, almost shattering his brain. The fatal blow was also triggered by the explosion in his mind, revealing a huge weakness.

  "Evil spirits, begone! Disperse!"

  Hu Yi let out a loud roar, and with his extremely keen senses, he instantly understood that he had fallen into the opponent's trap. Relying on the willpower boosted by his roar, he dispersed the thunderous energy that was exploding in his mind.

  But...

  The time gained by this mental trick was enough.

  A flash of sword light!

  A dazzling cold light suddenly pierced through the void, directly stabbing into his throat. The intense pain had not yet spread when the sword tip that had entered his throat suddenly swung horizontally, cutting off half of his neck.

  “……”

  Hu Yi's eyes widened as he finally came to, weakly covering the wound on his throat with his hand, as if trying to stop the blood gushing out, but no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain. After struggling for a moment, his body finally fell to the ground, dead.

  Until his death, he couldn't understand how the young man in front of him had used some method to directly shock his spirit, causing him to reveal a fatal flaw.

  ……

  "Pffft!"

  Hu Yi died, and Wang Ting could no longer hold back the surge of energy he had infused into his own body, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.

  His complexion changed slightly for a moment, Wang Ting quickly adjusted his breathing, constantly using special breathing techniques to suppress the surging blood in his body. After a while, that feeling of being burned inside and out gradually disappeared. However, the pain of having his collarbone broken still made him frown from time to time.

  "This body's quality as a high-ranking martial artist is somewhat lacking. A clever woman can't cook without rice, and even if I have astonishing techniques, in a swordsmanship duel, killing mid-tier swordsmen is already the limit. High-ranking swordsmen can easily defeat formal swordsmen and below with one move, rendering all swordsmanship techniques useless."

  Wang Ting was adjusting his breath while silently summarizing the gains and losses of this battle.

  It's just as well that the cultivators in this world only cultivate their internal energy and not their spirits. The spiritual realm is not solid enough, if it were in his world, a high-ranking swordsman would at least be a fourth-level spiritual practitioner, some of the more powerful ones might even raise their spiritual level to fifth level, under those circumstances, his spiritual secret techniques wouldn't have any substantial impact on his opponent.

  After slightly tidying up his gains and losses, Wang Ting searched the guard's body for a moment, and soon found a token of Gong Sun Fang Yu's mansion guard as well as three gold coins.

  After a moment of hesitation, he actually left this block of Shih Wei's token behind.

  After doing all this, he took out the fire starter and ignited the corpse of the high-ranking swordswoman guard. He turned around and headed forward, soon disappearing into the night.
