Chương 186: Don't agree? I don't care

Using the Dance of the Wind God with every step he took, Jian Shen quickly obtained a boost of six times in speed and was quickly heading towards eight times.

As for Xiulan, she was now regretting to have asked Jian Shen to fight her seriously.

Desperately using her two swords to defend against the white and black swords which like snakes moved at angles which weren't possible to strike towards her, Xiulan realized that due to his speed increasing constantly the situation would reach a stage where she couldn't even catch a glimpse of the swords.

Still, she wasn't much scared because other than using his speed to constantly push her back Jian Shen was using almost zero strength when attacking.

As for Jian Shen, the reason he wasn't stopping the Dance of the Wind God was because he wanted to challenge his own limits and enter the Sage Realm before the day ended.

Eight times.... Ten times.... Twelve.... Twenty-two... Twenty-nine... THIRTY!!!

By now not just Xiulan around whom Jian Shen was running, but everyone else who was looking at them couldn't even catch a glimpse of his shadow.

Other than the Genesis Realm Cultivators who were still able to notice every single one of his movements, no one else could see what the hell was happening up there.

Xiulan was just standing there as a lightning tornado was slowly being formed around her and gradually increasing in intensity.

In fact, even Jian Shen couldn't completely grasp what was happening in front of his eyes due to how fast he was moving.

Right now, even if someone suddenly placed a sword in the track he was running around in, Jian Shen wasn't sure if he'd be able to even see much less evade it.

Luckily, Xiulan wasn't someone who had any such intentions and therefore she just stood as Jian Shen was obviously getting close to breaking through.

When a cultivator entered the Sage Realm, it wasn't just the inside of his body which would be changed but even his surrounding would be affected to show off to the world that the cultivator had achieved a breakthrough.

Once Jian Shen reached a boost of thirty times in speed, he no longer needed to do anything but keep it up until his control over the Intent of Wind reached such a level that he could control it even if it was at a distance away from him.

Bam!

With real lightning suddenly originating from the skies above, everyone in the battlefield looked above towards Jian Shen who suddenly stopped in face of the lightning which was flying towards him.

At the same time, the winds also began howling loudly in a few kilometres radius around him.

And Jian Shen who was in the middle of all this could not only sense the lightning which originated so far above him and the winds around him but even control them as well.

Sage Realm.

Letting out a loud breath and how different everything felt to him because of how far his senses now reached due to his control over the Intent of Wind, Jian Shen without any intention turned out to be the one who caused for the battle of this day to end.

…

Since Jian Shen caused that huge commotion when there wasn't much time before the sun set for the day, both sides made all of their soldiers retreat while the Genesis Realm experts looked at everything from the above.

Once everyone had retreated, the Genesis Realm Cultivators had left as well leaving only Jian Shen and Xiulan up high in the skies.

"So, how do you want to do this? Write a letter? Shout loudly?"

Chuckling and shaking her head, Xiulan said, "I'd rather do it personally because I feel like my family would've wanted me to do this."

With how loyal her family had been to the Empire, every single one of them had ended up dying in the battles or due to assassins leaving Xiulan as the only last survivor of her family.

Therefore, she could without any hesitation choose to leave.

But to do so, she wanted to at least personally tell the Emperor that she was going to leave.

Flying downwards after quickly saying bye to Jian Shen, Xiulan headed towards Wan Han's tent while oblivious to Jian Shen following her while using the swords to stay invisible.

...

"What does that woman want now? Send her in."

Following the Emperor's orders, the soldier went out and told Xiulan that she could enter.

"Your Majesty."

"What is it?"

Sensing that Wan Han wasn't in the best mood, most likely due to what happened between her and Jian Shen today, Xiulan felt that this would make it easier for her to leave.

"I plan on leaving the Taiyang Empire, your Majesty."

Not asking for permission because she was only conveying the decision she took, Xiulan who felt like she had finished the formality she needed to complete turned around to leave when a huge pressure came crashing down from Wan Han.

"What do you think you are doing Xiulan? Betraying the Empire for a man? Have you forgotten how long your family has served the Royal Family?"

Feeling the pressure on her suddenly ease up, Xiulan realized that it was most likely Jian Shen who did something to help her.

"I remember everything that my family has done for the Empire, Wan Han. That's why I no longer plan on serving this royal family which has left me with nothing other than the deaths of my family members."

Surprised at how easily Xiulan was ignoring the pressure he was using to suppress her, Wan Han was about to say something when the woman completely disappeared right in front of his eyes.
