Chapter 96: Who Is The Number One Saber Of Jianghu?
Hundred Battles Sect.
Yan Changtian ate something and rested for a while, his spirit much improved.
He saw the Hundred Battles Sect disciples practicing saber technique and couldn’t help asking, “Heroine Lie, is their saber technique taught by Mister Ji?”
Lie Yingniang shook her head and said, “This is our Hundred Battles Sect’s Hundred Battles Saber Technique. Though not taught by Mister Ji, he has given guidance a few times.”
Yan Changtian was pensive.
“Young Brother Yan, your Yan Family’s ‘Flame Saber’ is renowned. Once your internal energy grows, the ‘Flame Saber’ will surely shine again and dominate Jianghu!”
Lie Yingniang also knew the Yan Family’s situation.
The vast Yan Family was left with only these master and servant before her.
Even Yan Changtian had no home to return to, more miserable than her back then.
“Flame Saber…”
Yan Changtian shook his head.
His father once told him that in Jianghu, the strong were never martial arts, but people!
For example, “Astonishing Swan Saber” Ji Qing.
At first, Astonishing Swan Saber Technique was clearly just a third-rate saber technique, but in Ji Qing’s hands, it became divine, slaying countless enemies along the way.
Now it had become a first-rate saber technique famous throughout Jianghu!
The strong was never Astonishing Swan Saber Technique, but Ji Qing!
“Whoosh.”
Suddenly, a figure approached from afar and arrived before Yan Changtian.
“Mister Ji, you’re back?”
Yan Changtian quickly stood up, a tense expression on his face.
He didn’t know what decision Ji Qing would make after going to Listen to the Wind Tower.
Thus, Yan Changtian felt somewhat uneasy.
“As you requested, Ji Mou went to retrieve the Demon Saber!”
“Great, thank you, Mister Ji!”
Yan Changtian was delighted.
As long as Ji Qing was willing to act, Yan Changtian believed the Demon Saber chaos would surely end.
“Mister Ji, I heard many first-rate experts in Jianghu have gone to Jiangnan to contend for the Demon Saber. Please be careful!”
Lie Yingniang also cautioned.
Ji Qing nodded and looked toward Yan Changtian.
“Can you ride a horse?”
“Yes.”
“Good, then prepare two fast horses and set off immediately!”
Ji Qing was a decisive man and immediately had Lie Yingniang bring two fast horses.
As for the old servant Uncle Jiu, being advanced in age, he stayed at Hundred Battles Sect.
Then Ji Qing and Yan Changtian mounted and galloped toward the city outskirts.
……
By the Luo River, a large ship slowly docked at the wharf.
The flag on the ship bore a large “Song” character.
Once the large ship was steady, over a dozen men in black leaped from it, all wearing cloaks, holding long sabers, exuding a murderous aura!
Some Jianghu people on the shore saw the large ship and the “Song” character, immediately speculating.
“From the looks of it, it should be Lingnan Song Family? That’s one of Jianghu’s top prominent families, with five first-rate experts in the clan, always dominating Lingnan!”
“Don’t know who from Song Family came this time? ‘Boundless Saber’ Song Cheng? Or ‘Hegemonic Saber’ Song Du?”
“Look, the Song Family person in charge is coming out.”
“That’s… ‘Hidden Saber’ Song Yan, and ‘Divine Saber’ Song Yi!”
“Even ‘Divine Saber’ has appeared. It’s said Song Family’s ‘Divine Saber’ is passed down generationally, and Song Yi is now the ninth generation!”
“It’s said this ninth-generation ‘Divine Saber’ Song Yi has exceptional talent, promoted to first-rate at twenty-five, the most promising Song Family disciple in a century to become a grandmaster.”
“In the past, Jianghu saber users revered ‘Divine Saber’ foremost. But Song Yi seems unlucky; this generation’s ‘Divine Saber’ encountered the rising ‘Astonishing Swan Saber’ Ji Qing. Between ‘Divine Saber’ and ‘Astonishing Swan Saber’, who is Jianghu’s number one saber?”
“The two haven’t clashed, but ‘Astonishing Swan Saber’ Ji Qing was rated by Ling Xiao Pavilion as ‘one man destroys a sect, peerless elegance’, his fame already far surpassing ninth-generation ‘Divine Saber’ Song Yi.”
Two saber users came down from the large ship.
Cold expressions, gazes sharp as blades.
It was none other than Song Family’s two first-rate experts.
Especially “ninth-generation” Song Yi, the core of Song Family.
Now they had come to Jiangnan, their purpose self-evident: the Demon Saber!
“Song Yi, this time the family sent me to help you seize the Demon Saber and surpass that ‘Astonishing Swan Saber”s fame. Helping you is easy, but do you have confidence to suppress the Demon Saber’s demonic nature and wield it?”
“Hidden Saber” Song Yan asked coldly.
Song Family’s five first-rate experts weren’t of one mind; there were conflicts between them.
“Song Yan, I am the family ninth-generation ‘Divine Saber’, and ‘Plunder Saber Mind Technique’ has reached the third realm, mind like iron, will like steel. What demonic nature can shake my mind?”
“Once I seize the Demon Saber, I will surely surpass that ‘Astonishing Swan Saber’ Ji Qing! Then everyone will see who is Jianghu’s number one saber?”
Song Yan said no more.
He knew Song Yi spoke the truth.
Why could Song Yi become Song Family’s ninth-generation Divine Saber?
Simple: Song Yi’s “Plunder Saber Mind Technique” reached the third realm, while the other four first-rate experts were only at the second realm, losing to Song Yi.
With “Plunder Saber Mind Technique” third realm mind, indeed unafraid of mere demonic nature.
This time Song Family’s two first-rate experts came to Jiangnan for one purpose: to seize the Demon Saber!
“Whoosh.”
Suddenly, a disheveled old beggar with a bamboo stick strode forward.
“Stop!”
A Song Family saber user stepped forward to drive away the old beggar.
Unexpectedly, the old beggar suddenly stumbled, falling toward the Song Family saber user.
The Song Family saber user immediately drew sword.
“Clang.”
The man in black’s saber had just been drawn when the old beggar crashed into his chest, then a great force emanated from the old beggar.
“Bang.”
The Song Family saber user’s body flew out like a severed kite, crashing heavily to the ground, twitching twice before breathing his last.
“Jiangnan Divine Beggar, Chu Xiong! What do you intend?”
Song Yan gripped his saber, staring fixedly at the old beggar.
“Heh heh, this old beggar just wants to tell you, this is Jiangnan, not Lingnan! Your Song Family can seize the Demon Saber, but don’t cause trouble, or this old beggar won’t agree!”
With that, the old beggar leaned on his bamboo stick and vanished in a few leaps.
This ghostly lightness skill movement startled Song Yi and Song Yan.
“This old thing is truly ruthless, taking a life with one strike! Heard some old Jianghu folks want to meddle; looks like it’s true.”
“So what? Chu Xiong is just skilled in lightness skill movement. If he dares block us from seizing the Demon Saber, kill him!”
Song Yi was confident.
Song Family’s two first-rate experts together could rampage through Jianghu!
“Since we have the Demon Saber’s clue, let’s seize it first to avoid more trouble.”
Thus, Song Yan and Song Yi led the Song Family saber users swiftly off the ship and departed.
……
“Mister Ji, the Demon Saber was obtained by a mute and is hiding in that desolate temple ahead!”
Yan Changtian stopped, gazing complexly at the desolate temple ahead.
He too, after his family was destroyed, tracked the Demon Saber and accidentally learned it fell into a mute’s hands.
But for some reason, the mute hadn’t gone mad after obtaining the Demon Saber.
Yan Changtian didn’t dare seize the Demon Saber, fearing its demonic nature would affect him, so he traveled far to An Yang City to invite Ji Qing.
Ji Qing gazed at the desolate temple ahead, his eyes narrowing slightly as he faintly heard a noise.
“Yan Changtian, looks like you’re not the only one who knows the Demon Saber’s whereabouts…”
Yan Changtian’s expression changed.
If the Demon Saber news leaked, Jianghu people would swarm.
“Mister Ji, previously only I knew the Demon Saber’s whereabouts…”
“Whoosh.”
Before Yan Changtian finished, several blade lights enveloped them.
One blade light was already within inches!
Yan Changtian could almost see the fierce blade edge in the blade light.
As if a light swipe would sever his neck.
Yan Changtian was shocked.
Though he had some martial arts talent, he lacked Jianghu combat experience; in this life-or-death moment, fear froze his body.
“Mister Ji…”
Yan Changtian widened his eyes; his life hung by a thread.
