The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 60 A Master Supported Me Behind!

“I believe in him!”

An Lanxiu’s voice was very light but firm.

The Ninth Princess leaned against the wall and whispered, “Little An, let’s make a bet?”

An Lanxiu turned to look at the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess smiled. “Let’s bet on he is the kind of person. If he is, Little An, you should stay here for a year longer and leave after a year later.”

An Lanxiu asked in reply, “But if not?”

The Ninth Princess smiled and said, “That will be I have misjudged him. I am willing to apologize to him in person and present my golden saber to him!”

“Present the golden saber to him!”

An Lanxiu was a little bit in shock.

The Ninth Princess slighted curved her mouth corners with a wicked glint in her eyes. “Why? Are you a little jealous now?”

An Lanxiu turned to look at the distant mountains. “Usually I don’t put vinegar in my dishes!”

The Ninth Princess, “...”

In the middle of the mountains.

Ye Xuan was still running wildly. His current goal was the Frontier City which was the home base of Jiang Country. When he was there, those bigwigs from the above would definitely not dare to break the rules so unscrupulously!

In a little while, he arrived at a jungle. After he passed this jungle, he could see the Frontier City!

Ye Xuan’s mouth corners tightly curved and he sped up. It was just then that a middle-aged man appeared in front of him without warning.

Ye Xuan stopped!

The middle-aged man wore a gorgeous white robe with long hair covering his shoulders. His right hand was clasped behind him while he was looking at Ye Xuan. “Hand over that thing and I will spare your life!”

Ye Xuan’s face was somber. “He must be one of the bigwigs from the above!”

Obviously, he was prepared to pay any price to this Martial Art Skill at the Earth Stage.

Ye Xuan’s right hand slowly gripped. In the distance, a sarcastic smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face. “Do you want to fight?”

Ye Xuan said flatly, “Even if I give you that thing, you won’t let me go. You’ll silence me instead, won’t you?”

The middle-aged man chuckled. “You are truly smart. But even if you don’t hand it over, can’t I just kill you and take the scroll?”

After he said this, he was going to kill Ye Xuan. But in the distance, Ye Xuan smiled unexpectedly. “Do you really expect me to carry the scroll with me?”

After hearing what he said, the middle-aged man frowned. “I actually have underestimated your wisdom. But it doesn’t matter. When I get you, I have plenty of ways to make you tell me where the scroll is!”

When he finished his words, he took a step forward.

One step forward, the ground in front of him opened instantly. The crack on the ground spread to the front of Ye Xuan at a very fast speed!

Ye Xuan’s face changed greatly. Taking no chances, he launched a punch.

Ye Xuan punched with all his strength!

Because the middle-aged man before him was at least in the Secluding Realm. Ye Xuan certainly didn’t dare to look down upon such a strong person!

Ye Xuan launched a punch, which contained his powerful Punch Momentum and his great Conceptual Battle Skill.

“Pow!”

With a muffled sound, Ye Xuan was directly thrown to dozens of meters away.

On the ground, Ye Xuan climbed up slowly. His entire right arm was completely shattered!

In the distance, the middle-aged man slightly narrowed his eyes. “Your physical body is so strong that it can actually take my strike. I do have underestimated you!”

When his voice stopped, he slightly stomped his right foot. Under his feet, a fist-sized stone flew up abruptly. It shot at Ye Xuan like a bat out of hell. The stone with its extremely fast speed could even crush the air directly!

Opposite the middle-aged man, Ye Xuan’s pupils narrowed. He spread out his palm in which a sword appeared. The next moment, a beam of Sword Light flashed across the field.

“Sizzle!”

A sword howling sounded! Then, the stone was instantly cut into two by the sword. And in a flash, the beam of Sword Light came up to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man snorted and he fought back with a flick of his sleeve.

“Boom!”

The Sword Light exploded instantly, and Ye Xuan was pushed off dozens of meters away!

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes. “You really have cultivated both the sword and the Martial Arts!”

With this, he looked around. “It seems that you truly have no support. Otherwise, it is impossible that they take no move from the beginning to now!”

After that, he walked slowly to Ye Xuan.

Obviously, he feared that Ye Xuan had someone back him up. This was the reason why he felt hesitate to attack Ye Xuan. All marvels and geniuses who were able to come here must have forces behind them. But until now, the possible force behind Ye Xuan didn’t respond. Especially now, nothing happened when Ye Xuan was stuck in the middle of this impasse, which confirmed his thought that Ye Xuan was very likely to be only an Individual Cultivator.

Since Ye Xuan was just an Individual Cultivator, he naturally would have no more scruples!

In the distance, Ye Xuan fixed his eyes at the middle-aged man who was getting closer and closer. When the man was about ten more meters away from him, Ye Xuan suddenly jumped forward.

Seeing that Ye Xuan still wanted to fight, the middle-aged man’s mouth corners showed a hint of sarcasm. “He is just in the Qi Varying Realm, which is two whole realms below mine. How is it possible that he can defeat me?”

Thinking of this, he already had a certain degree of contempt in his heart, which was quite normal. After all, the gap of the realms between them was really too big!

Right at this moment, in Ye Xuan’s left hand, there suddenly appeared another sword. Ye Xuan folded his hands violently, and the two swords directly merged into one!

The moment after the new sword was formed, Ye Xuan’s arms were cracked, and his blood was overflowing!

The two Spiritual Swords were combined into one Bright Sword, to a higher level of course!

Immediately after that, Ye Xuan drew his sword!

“One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death”!

This sword strike was what more than Ye Xuan could handle now!

The minute when Ye Xuan drew his sword, the middle-aged man’s pupils suddenly shrank to a needle-point size. “How could it be possible...”

The power of this sword was completely beyond his imagination!

The middle-aged didn’t have time to think more. The man gently rotated his right hand and then pushed upward. A swirl of Qi spurted out from the center of his hand, and instantly engulfed Ye Xuan’s sword!

A moment of silence.

“Bang!”

With this bang, the swirl of Qi shattered, and the middle-aged man was knocked back for more than sixty meters. When he just stopped, his sleeve on his right arm instantly turned into broken pieces. And now, cracks spread all over his right arm like cobwebs, and his blood continued overflowing from those tiny cracks!

The middle-aged man glanced at his arm and then looked at Ye Xuan who was not far away. For the first time, there appeared a severe look in the man’s eyes. “The Bright Sword... What an aggressive sword skill...”

When he thought of that, he finally was a little scared now!

Because if this boy’s realm was a level higher, the sword strike just now would probably have killed him!

This sword strike was really a little frightening, which made his heart twitch even until now!

In the distance, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes. He thought to himself, “I still can’t make it!”

“The gap of our realm is too large. Now I still can’t challenge him who is in the realm two levels higher than me. I may have a chance to defeat him if I have reached the Ascending Realm! But now, what should I do?”

“Fight with him?”

“But I can’t defeat him!”

“Escape?”

“There certainly is no escape!”

“Call for help?”

“Who can help me now?”

Ye Xuan thought fast and soon his eyes brightened. He looked coldly at the middle-aged man in the distance. “I advise you to retreat now, otherwise there will be no chance for you to escape later!”

The middle-aged man lifted up his mouth corners. “You want to tell me that there is someone behind you, right?”

Ye Xuan said seriously, “Of course, I tell you that there is a very, very powerful master in my body...”

“A master?”

The middle-aged man chuckled. “And the master is in your body! Little boy, are you beaten into concussion?”

As he said, he walked slowly toward Ye Xuan. “If there is a master, can you let me see the master?”

Green light lingered around the right hand he hid behind him and his right hand began to recover slowly when it was wrapped in the green light. He knew that Ye Xuan was playing for the time, and so did he! One must know that in this area, there were many other strong people around who were no less strong than him, so he must keep himself in a perfect condition. Or else, if others knew that he was injured, he couldn’t even guarantee his own safety!

Ye Xuan drew back slowly. “You are too weak, so the master has no interest in you!”

The middle-aged man sneered. “Really? What a joke! Well, I think the master you said is a coward. Dare not come out? I...”

Right at this point.

“Clap!”

With a loud slap sounded, the middle-aged man flew straight out!

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan’s eyelids jumped and turned to ran immediately.

Behind Ye Xuan, after the middle-aged man climbed up, a small red pawprint was added on his right face.

The middle-aged man touched his cheek, totally bewildered. “Who hit me?”

He glanced around but found no one. Gradually, the middle-aged man looked serious. He looked around carefully and inquired, “Which master is here?”

No one answered.

While Ye Xuan had already run out of the jungle.

The middle-aged man still stayed there and was looking around on guard.

Ye Xuan saw the Frontier City right after he ran out of the jungle. He accelerated his speed, and blood was overflowing from his mouth. Not only that, but his arms were constantly bleeding... In addition, the wound in his chest that almost had healed also split at the moment. As the blood overflowed, the clothes on his chest turned into bloody red.

He was seriously injured!

He was severely wounded in his battle with the middle-aged man. Then, in the end, he forced his two swords to merge into one and exerted the “One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death”, which added injury to injury. It could be said that if it was not that he had cultivated the Golden-Body Realm so his body and five internal organs were exceedingly strong, he would be dead already!

At the gate of the Frontier City, the woman in white suddenly looked up. When the woman in white saw a flustered figure appear in the distance, her hand slightly trembled.

Behind the woman in white, the Ninth Princess also looked toward the figure in the distance, and then she was stunned.

Quickly, Ye Xuan ran up to them. He went blank when he saw the woman in white. The next minute, he immediately threw the scroll of the Top-grade Martial Art Skill at the Earth Stage to the Ninth Princess like throwing some rubbish. While he himself slowly walked up to the woman in white, and he grinned. “Why are you here?”

Scarcely had he finished, a stream of blood dripped from his mouth. Immediately after that, his whole person fell down.

The woman in white caught Ye Xuan subconsciously, and Ye Xuan lay in her arms like a puddle of slush. “So soft...” Automatically, his hand went around her waist and then he buried his head in the chest of the woman in white.

She stiffened, but she didn’t push him away.

In a corner of the city wall, an old man stomped his foot upon seeing this. “Miss, push him away, push the little shit away...”

However, the woman in white never did that.
