I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 785

Chapter 784 Earth-shattering, A Single Sword Divides the City

“Not good!”

The white-haired, youthful-looking old man watched the bright “thin line” descend, a great terror rising in his heart.

He wanted to stop it, but found he simply couldn’t muster any courage to stand in front of that “thin line.

” His instincts as a Nascent Soul cultivator told him he absolutely could not face this “thin line” directly.

Otherwise, he would face no other fate but death!

So the white-haired, youthful-looking old man could only watch helplessly as the condensed “thin line,” with the power to cleave heaven and earth, sliced towards Zhou Tian City.

Swish!

It sounds complicated, but in reality, everything happened in an instant.

The bright “thin line” seemed to fall slowly, but in fact, its speed was extremely fast.

From the time the white-haired, youthful-looking old man saw it until it completely fell, it was only a breath’s time.

Then, with a swish, everything—buildings, city walls, formations, or the ground—

was utterly vulnerable before this “thin line.”

Even the ever-shining array barrier of the inner city was no exception.

It was sliced open like tofu.

The “thin line” sank into the ground, and the next moment, its power erupted, causing the earth to shake violently.

The entire Zhou Tian City began to tremble, slowly parting to both sides along the crack created by the “thread.”

“What’s going on? Has the earth dragon turned over?”

“Are you out of your mind? This is Zhou Tian City, how could an earth dragon turn over!”

“Then what’s causing this tremor?”

“Could it be related to that bright light that fell from the sky just now?”

“Is it an enemy attack?”

“Look at the inner city! The array barrier of the inner city has disappeared!”

…

Amidst the shaking and tremors, the citizens of Zhou Tian City were in a state of panic, completely bewildered.

Zhou Tian City was the stronghold of the Gongshu family, protected by a supreme array.

Logically speaking, even a true earth dragon turning over shouldn’t be able to shake this vast city stretching for thousands of miles.

But now, both the shaking of the ground and the disappearance of the inner city’s array light barrier made them feel extremely uneasy.

They couldn’t understand what had happened.

“That was sword energy just now? How is that possible…”

Above the inner city, an old man with white hair and a youthful face stared blankly at the scene below.

From his position, he could see more clearly what had just happened.

That bright “thin line” was actually a sword energy condensed to its extreme.

This sword energy separated heaven and earth, and was incomparably sharp.

Nothing within Zhou Tian City could stop it in the slightest.

Even the Zhou Tian Star Array light barrier of the inner city was shattered by this terrifying sword energy.

The entire Zhou Tian City was split in two by this thin line-like sword energy, cut in half.

The sword energy erupted deep underground, forcibly separating the two halves of Zhou Tian City, pushing them apart continuously.

This was precisely why the citizens of the city felt the entire city shaking.

“Who on earth is it?”

The white-haired, youthful-faced old man trembled as he stared at Zhou Tian City, which had split along its central axis and was still shifting apart.

He looked up at the sky. To

cleave the vast Zhou Tian City, which stretched for thousands of miles and was protected by a great array, with a single sword strike—such an existence far exceeded his imagination.

Such earth-shattering power was simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Even his own Eighth Tribulation Ancestor, who had already gone out to travel the starry sky, could not accomplish such a thing.

Perhaps only the Ninth Tribulation Nascent Soul Realm, standing at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm and known for its elusive nature, could possibly achieve this.

But when did the Gongshu family provoke such an existence?

“Father!”

“Father! What happened?”

Just then, several figures emanating the aura of the Nascent Soul Realm flew out from the inner city and came to the side of the white-haired, youthful-looking old man.

They were the Nascent Soul Realm ancestors of the Gongshu family, clearly also startled by the sudden turn of events.

They came to the sky and looked down, and when they saw the sword mark that had spread across the entire Zhou Tian City and expanded to dozens of feet wide, they were all greatly shocked.

“Father, what’s going on?”

one of the Nascent Soul Realm experts immediately asked.

However, they saw that their father was looking up, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, staring blankly at the sky.

They quickly followed their father’s gaze upwards.

Then they saw a figure slowly descending from the high sky against the light.

The figure held a long sword, wore a black cloak, and had a strange ghost mask on his face.

There was no aura emanating from his body, as if he were a ghost.

However, several patriarchs of the Gongshu family immediately recognized him as the petty thief who had infiltrated Zhou Tian City, assassinated the seventh patriarch, and looted the second branch’s treasury years ago.

“Look, there are people in the sky! They’re the patriarchs of the Gongshu family!”

“Who’s opposite them? Could this commotion be caused by him?”

“That attire…it’s the assassin who killed the seventh patriarch of the Gongshu family back then! He’s returned!”

“Wasn’t it said that the assassin was killed by the Gongshu family patriarch? How did he reappear?”

The aura emanating from the Gongshu patriarchs finally attracted the attention of the city’s inhabitants.

When they saw the figure descending from the sky, countless memories from decades ago were awakened, causing a commotion.

There was no way around it; the upheaval he had caused in Zhou Tian City back then was simply too great.

Not only were the seventh patriarch of the Gongshu family assassinated, but several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the outer city were also killed by him.

Therefore, even after so many years, countless city residents still remembered him vividly.

Upon seeing the black cloak and ghost-face mask, they immediately recognized him.

However, it was rumored that the patriarch of the Gongshu family had already killed the assassin back then, but now it seems that the rumor was false.

“You scoundrel, how dare you show your face again…”

Seeing Lu Qing fall from the sky, one of the Gongshu family patriarchs shouted angrily, about to make a move.

However, before he could finish speaking, a sword aura magnified in his vision.

The next moment, everything went black, and he knew nothing more.

The words he was about to say were stuck in his throat, and he could no longer speak.

A sword aura that Lu Qing had flicked out pierced through his brow, annihilating his primordial spirit along with all his life force.

“Fifth Brother!”

“Fifth Brother!”

Seeing their brother’s head pierced by a sword, lifeless, his body falling to the ground,

all the primordial spirit realm cultivators of the Gongshu family shouted.

In addition to shock and anger, a chill ran through their hearts.

They knew very well what strength their fifth brother possessed; his cultivation at the third tribulation of the primordial spirit realm was second only to their father and eldest and second brothers among them.

Yet, despite such strength, he couldn’t even withstand a single sword strike and was instantly killed.

Was this masked figure truly the same thief from before?

The sight of the five ancestors of the Gongshu family falling from the sky, their auras completely gone, caused an uproar among the countless city dwellers below.
