Chapter 97: He Comes With The Astonishing Swan Saber—ji Qing!
“Draw Sword in front of Ji Mou?”
Suddenly, Ji Qing’s voice rang out.
Immediately after, a terrifying pressure enveloped the figure within the blade light.
“Boom”.
The figure in the blade light felt as if their mind was booming, their mind suddenly going blank.
The saber in his hand felt as heavy as a thousand catties.
Originally, the blade light was already within inches, about to pierce through this youth, but his body could not move.
Even the sharp blade edge was only a few inches from the youth’s throat.
The blade light dissipated, and Ji Qing saw these figures clearly.
All dressed in black cloaks, holding long sabers, identically attired.
There were five in total.
But at this moment, all five had looks of horror on their faces, as if they could not believe the scene before them.
Their bodies were as if frozen in place, no matter how they struggled, they could not move an inch.
Ji Qing took a step forward.
With each step he took, a layer of ice crystals appeared on the ground, and the ice crystals rapidly spread onto these five saber users.
“Crack”.
In the blink of an eye, the five saber users turned into five ice sculptures.
From beginning to end, Ji Qing had not lifted a hand, much less drawn his saber.
He had merely taken a few steps.
“Let’s go.”
Ji Qing’s words woke Yan Changtian from his daze.
He looked at the five ice sculptures before him, his heart immensely shocked.
Although he knew the “Astonishing Swan Saber” had a great reputation in the jianghu and was at the height of its fame. Yet facing five saber users, each with exquisite saber technique, in front of Ji Qing, they did not even have the qualification to make Ji Qing draw his saber, and one by one became ice sculptures.
Yan Changtian seemed to somewhat understand the meaning of “no weakling under a great reputation.”
Ji Qing was even more terrifying than he had imagined!
“Mister Ji, who are they?”
Yan Changtian asked.
“Don’t know. But ambushing near the desolate temple, killing anyone who approaches, they are most likely underlings of those contending for the demon saber. No need to mind them. If the desolate temple truly has the demon saber, we take it.”
Ji Qing said calmly.
These five saber users, judging by their attire and saber technique, surely had significant origins.
But so what?
Ji Qing did not care.
“Yes, Mister Ji.”
Yan Changtian took a deep breath.
He sensed a kind of “confidence” from Ji Qing.
It seemed that to him, all matters and all people were treated equally.
This kind of “equality” could also be understood as not caring about any of them, all present were…
This confidence deeply infected Yan Changtian as well.
Thus, the two continued walking toward the desolate temple.
The desolate temple at this moment was very lively.
There was a group of black-clothed saber users, the two leaders exuding chilling saber qi, like two precious sabers with edges fully revealed; even glancing at them made one’s eyes hurt, as if the gaze was being cut by the saber qi.
There was also an old beggar, ragged and unkempt all over, leaning on a bamboo stick, eyes narrowed, as if he cared about nothing.
Even more, there was a woman in a big red long skirt, charming and enchanting, radiating dazzling beauty all over, standing on a tree. Every frown and smile seemed to hold infinite allure, stirring endless fantasies, yet no one dared to look straight at the red-skirted woman.
“Dong dong dong”.
Suddenly, a strange drum sound rang out.
Everyone turned to look.
A burly man was actually carrying a large drum on his back.
And atop the large drum stood a short-statured woman; with each step the burly man took, the short woman struck the large drum once.
This eerie scene made the martial artists near the desolate temple all slightly change color.
“It’s the Blood Drum Couple, the two as one, ranked fourth on the Villain Ranking! They say when the blood drum sounds, families are destroyed and people die! Even they have come to contend for the demon saber?”
Many people discussed animatedly.
This time, there were quite a few first-rate experts.
For example, the red-skirted woman, called Madam Peony, who is both righteous and evil, beautiful in a thousand ways and postures, yet ruthless and cruel, said to specialize in killing heartless men! Anyone who spends a night of pleasure with her, Madam Peony will personally kill!
This is also why Madam Peony is so alluring and seductive, yet no one dares to look more than once.
“And the Jiangnan Divine Beggar, the local tyrant of Jiangnan, with lightness skill movement that is elusive and ghostly, few in the jianghu can match.”
“However, the strongest in the field should be the Lingnan Song Family, right? This time the Lingnan Song Family brought ‘Hidden Saber’ Song Yan, and the ninth-generation ‘Divine Saber’ Song Yi; the two together can rampage through the jianghu!”
There were also other martial artists around.
Not lacking some second-rate peak jianghu people.
But compared to these renowned first-rate experts, they were far inferior.
Which of these first-rate experts does not rampage through the jianghu?
Normally, seeing even one is very difficult. But now? Several have gathered at once, clearly all here for the demon saber.
“Hidden Saber” Song Yan’s gaze swept over these first-rate experts one by one, then he slowly said: “Everyone, you do not practice the saber, what use is the demon saber to you? Why not let it to us two, our Song Family will surely be deeply grateful!”
The “Lingnan Song Family” still had considerable fame.
After all, they had five first-rate experts.
Not a millennium prominent family, but definitely several centuries.
But after Song Yan spoke, not a single person responded.
Be it the Jiangnan Divine Beggar, Madam Peony, or the Blood Drum Couple, all turned a deaf ear.
Song Yan’s face darkened.
He lorded over one side in Lingnan every day, naturally thinking the whole world should give face to the Lingnan Song Family.
But only after coming out did he realize.
Those first-rate experts in the jianghu, with no conflicting interests usually, would lift the sedan together and give the Song Family some face.
But now?
When it concerns the demon saber, who would give face to the Song Family?
Thinking to dismiss them with a few words was simply impossible!
“Since that’s the case, for contending over the demon saber, let each rely on their own means…”
Song Yan slowly placed his hand on the hilt.
In an instant, the atmosphere at the desolate temple immediately became tense.
“Wait, there are still people coming…”
Suddenly, the ninth-generation Divine Saber “Song Yi” spoke.
His “Robbery Saber Mind Technique” had reached the Third Realm, with various wondrous aspects.
For example, his mind would warn him, or his senses were sharper than other martial artists.
Just now, his mind had faintly issued a warning.
It seemed some danger was about to descend.
And he also vaguely sensed that the people he had ambushed near the desolate temple seemed to have met with some trouble.
“There are still people?”
Everyone looked into the distance.
Unbeknownst at what time, a trace of mist enveloped the desolate temple.
Everyone could vaguely see two figures in the mist, walking unhurriedly, step by step toward the desolate temple.
Finally, they saw the two figures clearly.
One was a youth of only about ten years old; the crowd did not pay much attention.
But the other, black clothes, conical hat, long saber, plus that head of shoulder-length white hair.
Everyone present drew in a sharp breath.
Even the previously charming and enchanting Madam Peony, the Jiangnan Divine Beggar who seemed uninterested in everything, the notoriously infamous Blood Drum Couple, and the always arrogant Song Family brothers.
At this moment, all held their breath and focused, their hearts surging with stormy seas.
This person, almost no one in the entire jianghu did not recognize.
Killed Du Chen, slew the Poison Demon, chased killers for a thousand li!
Single-handedly ascended Tianshan, eight hundred disciples all bowed!
One man destroyed a sect, unparalleled elegance!
He was…
Astonishing Swan Saber—Ji Qing!
