328: Chapter 338 The Ruthless Su Mutou! Want tickets? Fight first!

After bidding farewell to the old gatekeeper of the teleportation array, Su Jin continued his journey along the direction indicated by the Star Domain map.

He had now comprehended nine immortal cores, reaching the tenth stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

What he lacked now was not arduous cultivation, but an Opportunity—an Opportunity that would allow him to achieve Fusion of his own Great Dao Origin and reach a Breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm.

Therefore, his primary task now was to refine his Heart-Nature and seek out Opportunities.

Half a day later, Su Jin stepped into a desolate cluster of meteorites.

"Stop right there! You shameless little thief!"

"You stole our Sect's Sword-Trial Divine Stone and you still want to run!?"

Just then, two shouts filled with killing intent came from not far away.

Su Jin lifted his gaze slightly, only to see a slender figure treading with mysterious footwork, darting toward his direction like a startled swan at great speed.

The person was dressed in black, with a delicate silver half-mask covering her face, revealing only a pair of extremely lively, beautiful eyes that resembled pools of clear spring water.

When the woman in black saw Su Jin ahead, she felt that the person before her was like a flawless work of art, and a flash of surprise crossed her beautiful eyes.

"Young Master, save me! These two thieves were struck by lust and want to kill me to seize my treasures!"

The woman in black's voice was sweet and delicate, exuding a sense of weakness that evoked pity as she hid directly behind Su Jin.

Su Jin's expression remained calm as he merely glanced over indifferently, not even placing his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Soon, the two Cultivators who had been in hot pursuit landed not far away, looking at Su Jin with uncertainty and suspicion.

"This Young Master, we two are Inner Sect Disciples of the White Moon Sword Sect!"

One of them pointed at the Daoist robe embroidered with the White Moon emblem on his chest and shouted at Su Jin: "The demoness behind you just stole a precious treasure from our Sect! We ask that you make things convenient for us, Young Master, and do not interfere with our White Moon Sword Sect's pursuit of the thief!"

Clearly, they had sensed the aura on Su Jin that was restrained yet as deep as an abyss.

Although all three were in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Sword Intent faintly emanating from Su Jin made them feel instinctively wary.

"Young Master, do not believe them!"

The woman in black hid behind Su Jin, tugging at his hem, and argued with a pained expression: "I am just a weak woman with no power to truss a chicken; how could I possibly break into their large Sect to steal anything? It is clearly these two thieves who coveted my ancestral treasure and have been chasing me all the way here. I beg you to act righteously, Young Master. Afterward... afterward, I will surely offer the treasure to you!"

"Young Master, do not believe this demoness's nonsense!" the White Moon Sword Sect Disciples shouted angrily.

However, Su Jin did not say a single word throughout the entire exchange.

He did not even turn his head to look at the woman in black, but coldly pulled his hem from her grasp, then turned and continued walking forward.

"..."

The corner of the woman in black's mouth twitched violently beneath her mask.

This script is wrong! In this desolate wilderness, when encountering a woman with a delicate voice like herself asking for help, shouldn't a normal Sword Cultivator feel it is the duty of our kind to intervene?

Why did this wooden block just walk away!?

Seeing that Su Jin had no intention of intervening at all, the two White Moon Sword Sect Disciples were overjoyed and immediately drew their swords, surrounding the woman in black from the left and right.

"Demoness, let's see where you can run now!"

Seeing that Su Jin had truly walked far away, the two White Moon Sword Sect Disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

Fierce light flared in their eyes as they swung their longswords from left and right, unleashing sharp Sword Qi and hacking fiercely toward the woman in black.

"Sigh..."

Watching Su Jin's back as he walked away without a hint of reluctance or even turning his head, the woman in black sighed helplessly. The weakness in her beautiful eyes, which resembled clear springs beneath her mask, vanished instantly.

"What a boring wooden block."

She muttered to herself, not even drawing her sword. Facing the two sharp blasts of Sword Qi that could easily slay an ordinary Heavenly Immortal, she simply raised her jade hand casually and flicked her finger.

"Clang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

An imperceptible ripple of invisible Sword Qi spread outward.

The two White Moon Sword Sect Disciples didn't even see what happened before the longswords in their hands instantly shattered into a sky full of iron filings!

Immediately after, the two were struck as if by lightning, their eyes rolled back, and without even a scream, they fell straight down, unconscious on the meteorite.

After easily dealing with the two tag-alongs, the woman in black clapped her hands, and her lively beautiful eyes looked once more in the direction Su Jin had left.

"This young lady would like to see just what kind of freak you really are."

"Swish—" The woman in black tapped her toes, and her figure, like a ripple-less phantom, vanished from the spot instantly.

Up ahead, Su Jin was flying steadily through the air, calculating his plan for the upcoming trial.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew past.

The woman in black appeared out of thin air before Su Jin like a ghost, flying backward with her hands behind her back, tilting her head slightly, her large eyes examining him up and down without any reservation.

"Hey, wooden block, how can you have no chivalrous tenderness at all? In that situation just now, did you really just watch them try to hack me?" The woman in black huffed coquettishly, her tone carrying a hint of provocation.

Su Jin did not stop his movement, and his eyes did not even flicker as he spoke indifferently:

"Your stealth movement technique is something even a Golden Immortal might not be able to see through. The true essence within your body is as vast as an abyss; those two combined would not be a match for a single move of yours."

Su Jin looked straight into her eyes, his tone cold: "Why should I waste time saving a woman with such clumsy acting skills?"

"You...!" The woman in black's steps faltered slightly, and a rare trace of surprise flashed across her face beneath the mask.

I was seen through!?

This stealth secret technique of hers was something that even the old antiques in her Sect might not easily see through. This kid clearly only had the cultivation of the tenth stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm; how could he see through her background at a glance!?

After the surprise, the curiosity in the woman in black's eyes was completely ignited.

"Interesting. Not only is your Sword Intent terrifyingly restrained, but your insight is also this strong."

Like a little tail that couldn't be shaken off, the woman in black continued to follow by Su Jin's side. Her rolling eyes darted, "Wooden block, judging by the direction you're traveling, you must be going to the Linchuan Realm to participate in the Sword Trial three months from now, right?"

Su Jin ignored her, which counted as tacit agreement.

"Stop acting cool." The woman in black lifted her snow-white chin triumphantly.

"That Sword Trial isn't something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter. The entrance to that Secret Realm is sealed by an ancient sword array; one must hold a trial token from a major power in the Sword Domain to gain entry."

She examined Su Jin's simple white clothes up and down: "Looking at you, you're probably a Loose Cultivator from an outer Star Domain, right? Without even a token, going there just means you'll be left out in the cold."

Hearing this, Su Jin finally stopped his steps.

Although he knew the location, his father's Star Domain map did not mention anything about needing a ticket.

In a place as exclusionary as the Sword Domain, without the backing of the Su Family, it was indeed troublesome to get a token from a major power.

Seeing Su Jin finally stop, the woman in black smiled slyly, like a little fox whose scheme had succeeded.

She flipped her jade hand, and a white jade token carved with mysterious sword patterns appeared in her palm, which she dangled in front of Su Jin.

"How about it? I have a way to get a token."

Su Jin turned his head and gave her a deep look.

"Conditions?"

Although he didn't know the woman's background, that didn't stop him from wanting the token.

If her conditions were harsh, he was prepared to take it by force.

"Fight me, and let me see if you have the qualifications."

Su Jin looked at the mysterious woman in black before him and nodded.

"Fine!!"
