Chapter 61 Brother-in-law, you're just asking for trouble!
"Hand over the Dragon-Slaying Saber, and I'll spare your life!"
A group of people blocked the path of the Ancient Sword Soul.
The group numbered over a hundred, with two leaders.
A bald man with red eyes and bulging pupils, holding a huge oar, was none other than Sha Tongtian, the leader of the Yellow River Gang. Due to his excellent swimming skills, he was nicknamed "Ghost Gate Dragon King"!
A man with three fleshy growths on his head and holding a three-pronged steel fork was Hou Tonghai, Sha Tongtian's junior brother. Due to his strange appearance, he was nicknamed "Three-Headed Dragon"!
The name "Yellow River Gang" sounds prestigious, but it's really just self-aggrandizement. The Yellow River is so vast and expansive; how could they possibly occupy it?
They simply monopolized a section of the rapids, built fortified villages on the dangerous shoals, robbed ships, and charged tolls.
Sha Tongtian knew that his martial arts were inferior to Gu Jianhun's, but the hundreds of brothers of the Yellow River Gang were not to be trifled with. "I can let you leave, but can't you leave something behind?"
"Spare my life? Well said! I'll just have to test this Dragon-Slaying Blade on the head of the Ghost King!"
Gu Jianhun's eyes narrowed, he laughed wildly, reached behind him and grabbed, a black dragon swept across, and three heads flew into the air. In front of the Dragon Slayer Saber, the so-called elite of the Yellow River Gang were no better than roadside weeds!
"Ancient Sword Soul! Die!"
Hou Tonghai roared and charged towards Gu Jianhun, but Gu Jianhun didn't even look at him. With a wave of his hand, he swept across the battlefield, severing the three-pronged steel fork with his Dragon-Slaying Saber and cutting Hou Tonghai in two.
Because the Dragon-Slaying Saber was too sharp, Hou Tonghai charged too fiercely. It wasn't until the Ancient Sword Soul stopped that Hou Tonghai reacted. His legs remained in place, while his upper body flew out due to inertia, scattering a bloody spray.
"call!"
The iron oar cleaved towards the back of the ancient sword spirit's head.
With Hou Tonghai's cover, Sha Tongtian used a teleportation technique to sneak behind Gu Jianhun.
At the same time, the three helpers invited by Sha Tongtian made their moves simultaneously. A monk in a red robe shot out two sharp-edged copper cymbals, a Taoist priest wielding a wolf-tooth hammer swept two large hammers across the ground, and an ugly woman shot out hundreds of flying needles.
The monk's Buddhist name was Xibao, the Taoist's name was Yuling, and the ugly old woman called herself "Madam Zhang." They were all ruthless underworld figures belonging to the Sun Moon Cult. There was no underworld business they wouldn't do.
Oars, cymbals, hammers, and flying needles attacked the ancient sword spirit simultaneously, with weapons coming from all directions.
Gu Jianhun roared to the sky, and a tangible sound wave spewed out from his mouth, which was none other than the "Lion's Roar". His left hand's Vajra Fist slammed into the cymbal, which was sent flying back by the heavy punch, smashing the bald head of the monk Xibao. His right leg hooked, swept and kicked, smashing the skull of the Taoist Yuling.
What was bizarre was that all the hundreds of steel needles that Madam Zhang shot were absorbed by the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Her 30 years of hard-earned hidden weapon skills were easily countered by the Dragon-Slaying Saber, leaving Madam Zhang terrified.
Just then, the Dragon-Slaying Saber swept across.
With a roar that shook the demons, he punched west Bao, kicked Yu Ling, and cleaved Madam Zhang and Sha Tongtian in two with a single move, clearing a large area. The Ancient Sword Soul laughed wildly, "As expected of the Dragon-Slaying Saber! Today I'll let you drink your blood!"
In addition to its two basic attributes of toughness and sharpness, the Dragon Slayer Saber also has a special effect: it possesses a unique magnetic field, which allows it to attract and trap hidden weapons.
In the original story, Xie Xun fought against Granny Jin Hua by using the Dragon-Slaying Saber to absorb hidden weapons, thus breaking Granny Jin Hua's most proficient method and gaining an absolute advantage.
This characteristic is not noticeable in normal times, but when surrounded by hundreds of people and rained down darts and hidden weapons, the magnetic properties of the Dragon Slayer Saber are more valuable than its blade.
Thanks to this magnetism, the probability of the Ancient Sword Soul being injured by a hidden arrow is reduced to a minimum. Coupled with its sharp blade that can cut through iron like mud, its numerical advantage is completely negated!
Ancient Sword Soul roared as it charged into the crowd, stirring up waves of blood and gore. Screams and wild laughter could be heard for miles around, and its ferocious killing intent soared into the sky.
The sound stopped after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!
Gu Jianhun sheathed his Dragon-Slaying Saber and rode away.
A quarter of an hour later, spies from all sides arrived at the battlefield. Looking at the limbs and severed bodies scattered everywhere, they thought that even if they brought all the coroners from the Six Doors, it would take three days and three nights to piece these people back together.
Is this the power of the Dragon Slayer Saber?
The divine weapon attributes of the Dragon Slayer Saber may not surpass those of Blood River Red Sleeve, Unwilling to Stay, and Dragon Soul Phoenix Blood, but when it falls into the hands of the Ancient Sword Soul, the combined power doubles, and its formidable destructive force sends chills down one's spine.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A dozen or so homing pigeons flew away into the distance.
The spies are only responsible for gathering intelligence.
They are not responsible for the specifics of what needs to be done.
Sky Eagle Sect Branch
Leaning against Xu Qingya's chest, Yin Susu looked at the intelligence report from the scout and couldn't help but complain, "Qingya, your evaluation of the Dragon-Slaying Saber is too one-sided. From a purely offensive standpoint, the Dragon-Slaying Saber is top-notch!"
Yang Yan smiled and said, "Not so! The characteristics of a weapon are one thing, and the combat power of a martial artist is another. With the foundation of the Ancient Sword Soul, any divine weapon in his hands can unleash several times its power as long as there is no rejection."
The divine weapon possesses a spirit.
Sometimes, even the most powerful weapons will be diminished when they encounter an incompetent master, turning from divine weapons into mere scrap metal. However, if they encounter an enlightened master, their power will gradually increase and their spirituality will become higher over the years of nurturing and tempering.
Such a powerful weapon with growth potential is rare and hard to come by.
The most suitable one is—Dragon Soul and Phoenix Blood!
Swordsmen must be lovers. The more deeply they love each other, the more often they generate electricity with love, the stronger their swords become. When the swords and blades strike together, they are invincible.
Yin Susu asked, "Qingya, when do you plan to fight the Ancient Sword Soul? If your Magpie Blade and Dragon Slayer Blade clash head-on, won't they break? Why not delay for a while, and I'll find a skilled craftsman to forge a new blade for you?"
Xu Qingya patted the long sword on his back: "This Magpie Blade was custom-forged for me by my master. It's the most suitable sword for me. When I hold this sword, no matter what sword my opponent uses, I will never fail!"
"What if it's a gentle knife?"
"My body is very healthy!"
Xu Qingya did not grow up in a wealthy town, and Ximen Changhai was not a very rich man, but he had never lacked supplements from childhood. He could easily find ginseng, lingzhi, deer antler and other tonics by taking a trip to the deep mountains and forests.
Xu Qingya has probably taken more supplements since childhood than the wealthy woman Yin Susu, and with his diligent practice of leg techniques, his waist and abdominal muscles are flawless.
Yang Yan interrupted their nonsense: "Gu Jianhun's destination seems to be Jingzhou, but that doesn't make sense! What's he going to Jingzhou for? Does he have acquaintances there? Or does he want to challenge Master Zhuge with this Dragon-Slaying Saber?"
Xu Qingya suddenly thought of something, and a map of China appeared in his mind. He laughed and said, "Gu Jianhun is not a reckless man who is obsessed with killing. He is going in circles. His purpose in going to Jingzhou is to leave by water."
Yin Susu asked, "Waterway? The Yangtze River waterway? Where does he want to go? Could it be the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River?"
Xu Qingya nodded: "That's right. Gu Jianhun wants to travel by water from Jingzhou to the Three Gorges, then by land to Sichuan and Chongqing, with his destination being Emei Mountain!"
Yang Yan softly analyzed, "Linglong Pavilion received a rumor some time ago that Gu Jianhun is pursuing Emei heroine Sun Jinling. Could it be that he stole the Dragon-Slaying Saber to curry favor with Emei and use it as a betrothal gift?"
Yin Susu said, "Sun Jinling is the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Emei Sect. Abbess Fengling is counting on Sun Jinling to inherit her mantle. How can she be allowed to get married? Even if she is to get married, she should marry into the Wudang Sect."
Because Zhang Sanfeng and the founder of the Emei Buddhist sect had a romantic relationship, their relationship was very good, and their disciples had many interactions, with disciples from each generation marrying each other.
For example: Ji Xiaofu and Yin Liting!
No one can be alone forever.
No gang can dominate forever.
Apart from monks and nuns, no martial arts gang or family is opposed to marrying a master.
For example, the most famous wealthy family, the Jin family, was known as "Ten Thousand Blessings and Longevity" at its peak. They relied on marriage alliances to build a network of relationships. Of the nineteen children of Madam Jin, eighteen were involved in marriage alliances, and the remaining one became a nun. She was a direct disciple of the Emei Sect and inherited the mantle of Master Kuyin.
Yang Yan analyzed, "Rumor has it that after the Dragon-Slaying Saber's incantation, there's another line: 'Without the Heaven-Reliant Sword, who can contend?' According to Qing Ci, the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber are not a pair, but since they are listed together in the incantation, there must be some special secret. As for the Emei Sect—"
Xu Qingya coughed twice.
My master had a lot of romantic entanglements when he was young.
For example, there were female knights-errant Baiyun, Haiyan, and Gongsun Lirong, and several others who became nuns.
Xu Qingya had barely arrived at the Emei Sect when an old nun grabbed him by the collar and interrogated him about where Ximen Changhai was. What could he say? "I honestly don't know!"
Yin Susu asked, "Qingya, where should we deal with the Ancient Sword Soul? The Three Gorges or Mount Emei?"
Xu Qingya said, "Deal with him in Jingzhou!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances. Besides, having Mr. Zhuge in Jingzhou can serve as a form of insurance."
"I'll contact the Sky Eagle Cult branch and ask them to send a team of elite brothers to besiege Gu Jianhun."
"Absolutely not! The Dragon-Slaying Saber kills faster than harvesting wheat. So-called elite gang members are no different from weeds in front of the Ancient Sword Soul."
Just as the three were discussing their plan, there was a knock at the door: "Master, the eldest young master is here! He says his brother-in-law is here and wants to see him!"
Yin Susu angrily said, "Tell him to get out! This is none of his business! Don't cause trouble!"
"Susu! What are you saying? An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws sooner or later. I heard my brother-in-law is young, handsome, and highly skilled in martial arts. How come he can't meet his brother-in-law?"
Yin Yewang laughed loudly a few times and pushed open the door to enter.
"You're my brother-in-law? You're quite handsome, but I wonder how good you are at martial arts! Take this!"
Yin Yewang swung his claws at Xu Qingya.
He attacked without hesitation; truly befitting the young leader of the Demonic Sect.
Xu Qingya launched a flying kick, accurately striking Yin Yewang's ankle. Before Yin Yewang could react, a barrage of rapid kicks rained down like a storm. In an instant, the entire room was filled with the shadows of legs, with a whirlwind of kicks all around.
Wind God Leg - Torrential Rain and Gale!
Yin Yewang was stunned by Xu Qingya's fast attack.
He was always the one who ambushed others; he had never been ambushed himself. His claws scrambled rapidly, hoping to grab Xu Qingya's ankle, but he only managed to catch afterimages. Xu Qingya didn't use any real force; his attacks weren't heavy, and he didn't make him look too bad, but he was still in a lot of pain.
"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Yin Yewang was kicked countless times in the chest, back, and knees. His protective inner energy was shattered by the fast kicks, and he was trembling all over, like someone doing street dance.
"I give up! I give up! Brother-in-law, pull your leg back, you're about to kick me to death!"
Yin Yewang disregarded his brother-in-law's feelings and hurriedly begged for mercy, thinking to himself that he had spoiled his sister for nothing. Now that she had a husband, she had forgotten her brother and hadn't even asked for a word of pleading.
Xu Qingya withdrew his attack and retreated, landing gracefully.
"Brother-in-law, if you think my legwork isn't good enough, I also know a few sword techniques."
"We're all family, don't resort to knives unless absolutely necessary!"
Yin Yewang waved his hand very magnanimously!
