Chapter 271: 271, [Listen to the Gentleman’s Story]

Translator: 549690339

The performance of the little sword within Sword Heart was clearly different from before.

Previously, it would only put in efforts when facing a Sword Cultivator, otherwise lethargic and seemingly useless.

Therefore, Lu Xun always saw it as a divine artifact to restrain Sword Cultivators.

Apart from Sword Cultivators, its utility was rather limited in combat.

“What’s happening today, why is it volunteering?” Lu Xun was somewhat puzzled.

Mao Nanbei is a true Knife repair, cultivating a Demon Blade.

Don’t be fooled by her irresponsible appearance, her comprehension of the blade cannot be underestimated.

Not to mention, Lu Xun is currently in a state of Small Perfection of Sword Intent, but Mao Nanbei’s Knife Intention is noticeably a level higher than him!

It’s not quite Great Perfection, but slightly stronger than Lu Xun.

Theoretically, the little sword within Sword Heart shouldn’t have much effect, and it shouldn’t be so excited.

Could it be that the breakthrough has brought about this change?

That must be the case. It’s not like the little sword dislikes that little lass and wants to cut her a few times, right?

If that’s the case, Lu Xun will not allow it.

Such impertinence!

I can tease Mao Nanbei a bit, but if others want to bully her, it’s not allowed!

At this moment, Lu Xun faced Mao Nanbei’s full-strength slash. While activating his Sword Qi and Sword Intent, he tentatively mobilised the power hidden within the little sword.

The next moment, his pupils turned to a deep gold.

From a distance, it added a touch of majesty to his ethereal appearance.

He was like an ancient god!

In his eyes, Mao Nanbei’s knife intention was crystal-clear.

They were no longer clusters of burning black flames, they had a structure!

These structures were like thread after thread!

The little sword within Sword Heart couldn’t wait to chop at them!

To sever these threads!

Lu Xun’s Sword Qi clashed with Mao Nanbei’s Knife Gang. Sword Intent and Knife Intention were inseparable.

In that instant, with a mental command, an invisible sword appeared in his left hand.

With a slight swing, he was unable to sever all the threads, but he did manage to cut some!

In an instant, Mao Nanbei’s advantage in Knife Intention vanished!

Lu Xun pressed forward with his Sword Qi, relentlessly crushing the Knife Gang and Knife Intention, and finally, his finger came to rest above Mao Nanbei’s head.

He swung his hand past Mao Nanbei’s head, saying, “Ay, missed.”

He was teasing her for being short.

Mao Nanbei was so outraged that she leaped up like a squirrel, wrapping her arms and legs around Lu Xun’s arm, then opened her small mouth and bit down.

Lu Xun pretended to cry out in pain while forcefully pushing her off.

In truth, with his physique, he was secretly worried, “Will the little lass hurt her teeth?”

And so, the sparring ended in a farcical manner.

In reality, it was because Lu Xun knew Mao Nanbei was a child at heart. If she lost, she might feel embarrassed and sulk for a long time, so he purposely agitated her to let her vent.

You could say he spoiled her.

At this moment, while acting for the little lass to vent her anger, he was carefully observing the little sword within Sword Heart.

It seems, after the upgrade, it indeed gained new functions!

—Sword Heart to Slash Intent!

It can directly damage the “Intent”.

Not limited to Sword Intent, even Knife Intention will do!

This, undoubtedly, was a huge gain for Lu Xun!

Therefore, the joyful Lu Xun was shouting even more passionately.

“Ouch!! Fourth Sister, let go of my mouth! You’re killing me!” he exclaimed dramatically.

“Ahhh! I’ll bite you to death!” Mao Nanbei pinned him to the ground, biting him wildly like an enraged wild cat.

Master sat there, watching the two disciples tumbling on the grass. Although a smile crossed his brow, he seemed deep in thought.

After all that fuss, Mao Nanbei had indeed lost her temper.

There she was, now sitting on Lu Xun’s shoulder, clamoring to pick oranges together.

There were plenty of fruit trees on the back mountain, each with its own minor magical properties.

The dates from the date tree could restore a person’s spirit, while the oranges from the orange tree could replenish physical strength.

To mortals and low order cultivators, these were exceptionally beneficial spirit fruits. But for the residents of the back mountain, they were merely ordinary fruits.

After picking a small basket of oranges, they gathered in the bamboo grove and started their “orange talk session”.

Everyone chatted while eating oranges, mainly listening to the Master’s stories.

How old the Master was remained a mystery.

According to him, he had forgotten how long he had lived.

And in his long life, he had naturally experienced countless extraordinary events.

Even a snippet was enough to captivate everyone’s interest.

At this moment, Lin Chan was sitting next to Lu Xun, with Mao Nanbei’s arms looped around Lu Xun’s neck, hanging onto him.

Lu Xun peeled an orange, gave half to Lin Chan and the other half straight into Mao Nanbei’s mouth, filling it up completely.

A treat for all.

Master himself, with his fingers elegantly curled, was peeling an orange.

His stories were always arbitrary, telling them as they came to mind, often starting without finishing. According to him, living so long, he would forget…

At this moment, one of the spirit crows they kept on the back mountain flocked in the air for a while, then landed at Lu Xun’s feet, eyeing the orange he was peeling.

After breaking the orange in half and giving it to Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan, Lu Xun considered for a few seconds, then threw a piece of orange peel at the spirit crow as a test.

The spirit crow foolishly pecked at it, then flapped its wings angrily and flew away.

“Chickenshit!”

“Gan Linliang!”

Lu Xun moved his finger, a piece of cloth flew up and bound the crow’s beak.

Looking at the spirit crow, Master’s eyes gleamed with interest. With a slight smile, he said:

“Today, let me tell you about Boundless Mountain.”

Perhaps it was because the spirit crow came from there that he intended to talk about the Boundless Mountain.

“Speaking of Boundless Mountain, in the earlier years, it was not actually a Demon Cultivation Sect. To be precise, in the beginning, it was not even a Cultivation Sect,” the Master began.

“The earliest Boundless Mountain was a Jianghu Sect.”

Lu Xun was aware of this, as players from Boundless Mountain had posted the sect’s backstory on the forum.

In the Seven Great Sects, aside from Boundless Mountain, the founders of each sect had commanded respect and renown in the Cultivation World.

Only the founder of Boundless Mountain was just a Jianghu swordsman. According to the martial arts hierarchy, he had not even reached the Innate Realm, but only the pinnacle of the Acquired Realm, making him a second-rate master in the martial arts world.

To be precise, the first three leaders of Boundless Mountain were all mortals.

The growth of Boundless Mountain started with its fourth sect leader.

This fourth generation sect leader’s identity was always shrouded in mystery. Even the players of Boundless Mountain knew little about him.

Therefore, Lu Xun figured that the story that the Master was about to tell would start with the most mysterious fourth-generation sect leader of Boundless Mountain.

But what surprised him was that, after eating a piece of orange, Master slowly began:

“The story of Boundless Mountain begins with its third-generation sect leader. It was from her that the destiny of Boundless Mountain began to change.”

Just then, Lu Xun noticed that the spirit crow, which had flown far away, had actually flown back and landed on a bamboo branch.
