The spirit in the stone wall kept cursing him, but Xu Que ignored him and walked swiftly on. At the same time, his mind was preoccupied with the Way of the Sword.
He was basically ignorant on the subject, but one skill he did have was bullshitting. He could probably hoodwink the Sword Spirit without much difficulty.
Even if he failed… well, he could always just run away again. Nothing difficult about that.
It was wisest to have an escape route prepared at all times, in case he needed to dash immediately after acting tough!
Unfortunately, the moment he entered the lava cave, he met the group of swordsmen who were about to flee from the Sword Catacomb. The moment both sides noticed each other, everyone stopped running at once.
"Fu… Fujiwara, why are you back here?"
"Look! It's Fujiwara! He's back!"
"Didn't he run away? What's he doing coming back?"
The swordsmen were all shocked at the sight of Xu Que returning to Sword Catacomb.
