As it turned out, the burst of sword qi was continuing to surge forward after failing to strike Chen Ping'an. Its target was coincidentally the snow-white fox spirit that was curled up on the ground.0

The inch movement talisman was from the Authentic Death-Avoiding Book that Li Xisheng had given Chen Ping'an, and it was truly a mystical and mysterious talisman. However, it was a consumable item that could only be used a single time. After activating it, Chen Ping'an immediately reappeared six meters away from his original spot. 0

However, when he discovered the burst of sword qi bearing down on the fox spirit, it was already too late for him to retrieve and use another inch movement talisman. As a result, he had no option but to physically lunge over. At the same time, he reached toward his shoulder and gripped the hilt of Eliminating Fiends, his locust wood sword. He slashed toward the burst of sword qi.0

Even though he was launching a sword strike, Chen Ping'an was fundamentally using a fist technique rather than a sword technique.0

He was using the fearsome Heavy Cavalry Formation Shattering Technique that Cui Chan's grandfather had taught him. However, he was unleashing this technique using his locust wood sword instead of his fists. 0

Because of this, his hurried sword strike would appear especially awkward in the eyes of genuine sword cultivators.0

The sword strike imbued with fist intent crashed into the burst of sword qi unleashed by Song Yushao, forcefully stopping it from killing the young fox spirit.0

Sword light erupted into the surroundings, and sword qi blasted through the air.0

Holding the locust wood sword in his hand, Chen Ping'an stepped to the side and turned around, with his back at the fox spirit....3
