Chapter 422: Reciprocity (4)

This was because he could tell that this swordsman was indeed old. The momentum of his attack was not as exaggerated as when he used the Yellow Dragon Crouching in West King Town. He wasn’t his match at all.

But this sword strike was equally skillful, and the mastery had even reached the point where it was almost incomprehensible.

At first, Ye Jingtang’s punches and spear strikes would shatter his clothes. It seemed that his momentum was earth-shattering, but in fact, his qi had been too scattered, and he couldn’t concentrate his strength.

But now that he had learned to control it, he could suppress all his qi in the blade. When he attacked, he used his strongest saber move without any waves. Only when he used his full strength would he be unable to suppress his qi, causing his qi to overflow.

The black-robed old man’s all-out sword strike had caused such a shocking commotion, but his deep internal energy was clearly still controllable. freewebno(v)el

The sword drew a line, and the force shook the river. But his robe was like the autumn wind, and even the grass and leaves behind him were not disturbed.

To be able to control his internal energy to such an extent, if his sword missed, he could have retracted it and attacked again. The old man had attacked directly just to show off his skills to him.

Pitter-patter…

Countless broken leaves fluttered down in the autumn wind and sprinkled on the grass where a long groove had been swept out.

Two black-robed martial artists were standing by the river. They stopped, and the river bank returned to dead silence.

On the official road in the distance, more than ten constables from the Black Office opened their mouths wide after seeing this scene. Their eyes were blank, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

In the carriage, Dongfang Liren, who had been warned not to poke her head out, saw this scene through the window gap and said in disbelief, “Dragon Qi Sword?! SunWuji?!”

Ye Jingtang pointed his saber at the ground. When he heard this name, he was stunned.

The Dragon Qi Sword was the sword technique of the Thousand Crane Villa, and Sun Wuji was the ancestor of the Thousand Crane Villa. But this identity was usually not mentioned in Jianghu. Everyone called him by another name that they were more familiar with: Sword Saint.

Sun Wuji had become the Sword Saint in the previous dynasty. About 30 years ago, he had been defeated by Zhou Chiyang, who was in his early twenties, and had disappeared from Jianghu since then.

After a Martial Chief was defeated, their journey in Jianghu was over. There were very few people like Liu Qiansheng who still wanted to come back. Most of them either died on the spot or found a place to live in seclusion. Because they would definitely be injured, and the fire in their hearts would dissipate, they usually wouldn’t live for long.

Sun Wuji had disappeared for thirty years, and the people of Jianghu had long classified him as a historical figure. The Thousand Crane Villa had also become a second-rate sect. The most recent famous person was the young master of the Thousand Crane Villa, who had been hailed as the next Sword Saint. But after he visited the Zhou family more than ten years ago, he had been killed by an unknown person on the way home.

The Dragon Qi Sword was one of the best sword techniques in the world. When Cao Aning discovered that Ye Jingtang was using the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade in the morgue, he had switched to the Dragon Qi Sword to fight him. But Luo Ning had seen through him, so he didn’t dare to use it.

According to his age, Sun Wuji was probably a hundred years old. Ye Jingtang was naturally surprised to see an old man of the same generation as his martial ancestor, Kuang Yazi. He put away his saber and cupped his hands. “Your Excellency, are you Senior Sun Wuji?”

Swish!

After Sun Wuji struck with his sword, his complexion was not very good, but there was a smile on his face as he slowly sheathed his sword. “As expected, you have a good foundation. To ordinary people, Martial Chiefs are at the peak of the mountain, but to Young Hero Ye, it’s only the beginning. A few days ago, you helped find my deceased grandson’s sword, but the Thousand Crane Villa didn’t return the favor. I wonder if this sword move can catch your eye?”

Ye Jingtang had obtained the Sudden Inspiration Sword a few days ago. Ning’er had come up with the idea to return it to its rightful owner. On his way back, he had sent someone to Tu Province. His original intention was to have a chance to personally visit and learn swordsmanship. But he didn’t expect the Thousand Crane Villa to be so righteous that the old ancestor would personally visit to thank him.

Ye Jingtang cupped his hands and bowed again, “Senior Sun, you’re too kind. If you can give me pointers on swordsmanship, I should visit you with heavy gifts according to the rules. How can 1 let you visit me personally? If word gets out, I’ll definitely have a reputation for being disrespectful, arrogant, and rude in Jianghu in the future.”

Sun Wuji hung his sword back on the old horse and held the reins. “Remember favors in your heart, not on the surface. I don’t know how many years I can live, nor do I know if you will come visit. I can’t bring your favor into the coffin, so 1 came out for one last time. It’s a blessing to have a decent junior to entertain me.”

“Senior, please..”
