The middle-aged man slowly emerged from the shade of the tree, and he grabbed onto the hilt of his sword with its blade pointing upward, wobbling from side to side. As opposed to a swordsman, he looked much more like a naughty child playing with a rattle drum. However, as soon as he stepped into view, everyone's expressions instantly changed drastically.
The man paid no heed to all of these vast renowned martial artists, and his gaze was fixed solely on Chen Ping'an as he smiled and said, "You're thinking far too highly of yourself. In the next century, Ding Ying is probably the only one worthy of being hunted by me. As for you, you're still nowhere near worthy of that honor yet."
Everyone looked on as the man plunged his sword into the ground, and he rested his hands lazily onto the tip of the sword's hilt as he turned to everyone else with a smile and said, "Well, don't just stand there.

Qian Tang's smile widened even further, and he plucked out a piece of straw from somewhere, then began to gently chew on it.
Meanwhile, Zhou Shi said to Ya'er in a quiet voice, "It looks like Ma Xuan has stumbled upon some type of fated opportunity. My father tells me that this is a deity invitation technique, and someone was able to use this same technique in that battle outside the capital three hundred years ago to great effect, hunting down two thousand elite grassland cavalry and wiping out every single one of them."
