Chapter 5672: Deterrence, Temptation

The old man in black robe had completely lost his contempt for Chu Fengmian and the murderous intent in his eyes.

Instead, he was solemn, frightened, and puzzled.

Originally, the old man in black robe didn't care about the unfathomable strength of Chu Fengmian described by Yaoying.

After all, he was an invincible strong man. In the entire Shadow, he was an elder with extremely strong strength. Even in the entire Eternal Continent, his strength was enough to be called a hegemon.

If it weren't for the fact that his life span was about to end and the warriors of Shadow had always been extremely low-key, he would have been able to enter the list of Tianjiao and become one of the most dazzling warriors in this era.

Because of this, the old man in black robe was extremely confident in his own strength and didn't take Chu Fengmian seriously at all. After all, no matter how strong a warrior who suddenly appeared was, how could he compete with an invincible strong man?

It would be easy for him to take action and deal with Chu Fengmian.

But what the black-robed old man never expected was that he would be defeated so miserably in this fight. Chu Fengmian's casual sword was not even Chu Fengmian's full strength, but it was enough to defeat him with one move.

Such strength is comparable to that of a master.

If it weren't for Chu Fengmian, the black-robed old man didn't feel the powerful, domineering, and extreme power of the master, he even thought that Chu Fengmian in front of him was the master in disguise.

"Such strength is definitely in the top ten of the Tianjiao list, no, the top three! The strength of the Ten Thousand Swords True Lord is definitely at this level!"

"In this remote place like Naxi City, how could a warrior who randomly appeared be so powerful?"

The black-robed old man now felt incredible. It was like meeting someone in a remote countryside and finding that the person was the True Dragon Emperor. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but only heard rumors, the black-robed old man would never believe it.

But now Chu Fengmian actually appeared in front of him.

"And I just said I was going to deal with this person? Seize the treasure from this person? This..."

The old man in black robes was now full of regrets. He looked at Chu Fengmian cautiously, fearing that Chu Fengmian would get angry at this time.

However, Chu Fengmian's face was extremely calm, but he did not take these words to heart, but smiled and said.

"Don't be nervous, I just came to show some strength. Only when I am strong enough can I cooperate with you better."

"Who are you? What are you doing in the Shadow Chamber of Commerce?"

Hearing Chu Fengmian's words, the old man in black robes also relaxed.

From the fact that Chu Fengmian did not let the sword light cut down in the end, but chose to stop, Chu Fengmian did not have much killing intention.

This made the old man in black robes relax a little. After all, the strength shown by Chu Fengmian was indeed too strong, so strong that the old man in black robes felt that even if he used all his trump cards, he might not be able to retreat unscathed.

Because of this, the old man in black robe did not prepare to escape, but chose to stay and ask Chu Fengmian about his purpose.

"My identity is the worshiper of the Lu family."

Chu Fengmian said with a smile.

"The purpose of my trip is actually very simple, just for that sword technique, the true sword technique."

"There is a true sword technique in the shadow, can you show it to me?"

"As long as you can show me the true sword technique, I am willing to pay the wealth that the shadow needs."

"What?"

After hearing Chu Fengmian's words, the old man in black robe suddenly changed his face, and he also knew that Chu Fengmian must have heard the conversation between him and Yaoying before.

Now Chu Fengmian already knows that there is a true sword technique in this shadow.

And this time Chu Fengmian showed up, but he came for the true sword technique.

This true sword technique is related to the biggest secret in the shadow, but now Chu Fengmian knows it.

This made the old man in black robe look very ugly, he looked at Chu Fengmian and said in a deep voice.

"This true sword technique is a secret among us in the shadows. We will never pass it on to others. Please give up on this idea."

"Really? No need to reject it like this."

Chu Fengmian looked at the old man in black robe, and suddenly his palm moved, and a life fruit appeared in his palm.

"This thing should be of great use to you."

"What is it? A life-extending treasure? A top three-grade life-extending treasure?"

The old man in black robe saw the life fruit in Chu Fengmian's palm, and his eyes flashed with a bit of desire. Although it was only a flash, Chu Fengmian still saw it.

But this is not surprising. The old man in black robe in front of him is also a warrior who is about to die. For a warrior who is about to die, any life-extending treasure will make them extremely eager.

Not to mention the top three-grade life-extending treasure. Before, for the life fruit, the young man in black robe was willing to take out treasures like the blood source divine fruit in exchange.

As for the old man in black robe in front of him, his current situation is better than that of the young man in black robe. At least he still has tens of thousands of years to live. Unlike the young man in black robe, his lifespan has been exhausted and he may die at any time.

But tens of thousands of years of life, for an invincible strong man, is essentially just a matter of a flick of the finger, and such a short life also means that the vitality of the black-robed old man has reached its limit, and his body can no longer increase any strength.

Even if the black-robed old man gets another chance, his body cannot support the increase in strength, so for the black-robed old man, his current situation is almost the same as waiting to die.

And for this black-robed old man who is already waiting to die, how high the value of such a life fruit is, it goes without saying.

Chu Fengmian can also see that the black-robed old man in front of him is definitely an old layer in the shadows, but he doesn't know why he is hiding in this Naxi City.

But this has nothing to do with Chu Fengmian. The only thing Chu Fengmian cares about is the true sword technique.

Since it has been confirmed that there is the true sword technique in the Shadow, the best way for Chu Fengmian to obtain it is to use the old man in black robe in front of him. Given the identity of the old man in black robe, as a high-level figure in the Shadow, he is definitely able to access the true sword technique.
