Chapter 2 The Heavy Sword

The market was disturbed by their commotion.

When the young man holding the heavy sword on his shoulder strolled ahead, people felt his inhospitable aura and stood aside to avoid getting in his way. The merchants and shopkeepers found it hard to take care of their own stores when the citizens were running around so frantically.

“Who is this young man?” a beautiful lady asked her husband, and pulled their child near to protect him.

“I don’t know. But I think we’d better leave and not provoke him.” He glanced back to find the corpse of the gang leader from the Sheya Fastness. It was hard to call it a corpse—a meat paste was a better description.

The gangs were demons not only in the small town, but the whole Fengshui State. They roamed about robbing and killing; even the government feared them. But they’d left immediately upon recognizing the young man, and without even taking back the body of their deputy leader.

It was like a pack of wolves retreating from a ferocious lion.

“Di Hongtian?” The man who was hurt by Yu Long was asked by his companion, “Brother, is this that Di Hongtian?”

“You’re right! It should be him.” The man’s inner organs had been impacted by the blow from Yu Long, thus a trail of blood flew out from his mouth.

“The rumor said he is a young man, but never mentioned he’s this young. I don’t think he is over sixteen.”

They took a look at Yu Long, who was hiding in the half-collapsed tea stand, frightened and bemused. Finally, they laughed aloud.

The Yu Family should be taught a lesson too—especially this guy.

“Brother, I heard that he had challenged seventeen clans and the six families, without missing any of them. His power must have been equal to the best martial artists on the top level worldwide.”

“I think so,” the man said and nodded. “Some say the weight of the sword he wields is about 500 kilograms. n.o.body could pick up a sword like that without sixty years of cultivation.”

“How is that even possible? He is only about fifteen or sixteen. Besides, how could a sword that heavy even exist?”

“We will never fully know the world. Powerful warriors are hiding everywhere.” The man took a look at Yu Long, who had been overlooked by him at first, and then continued, “The young man has mentioned that if anyone could defeat him, the sword would be his. But it’s not that easy.”

Yu Long sneered when he heard this, since he had foolishly asked the young man to sell the sword to him. But he had lost his arrogant att.i.tude now. He overlooked the man and found the young man was stepping toward White Horse Mountain, which shocked him.

“Since this guy was first known to the world, he’s come to challenge a clan each time he’s appeared. Now his goal is White Horse Mountain; does he want to pick a fight with the White Horse Temple?”

This Temple was one of the national clans, a giant in both the world of martial arts and the political circle. Did he dare to challenge such an ent.i.ty?

He hesitated for a little while and decided to follow Di Hongtian to take a look. It had been a long time since the night clans had had someone challenge them. He guessed that a big event which could shock the world of martial arts would happen today.

“This Prince Yu Long is bold enough. He is heading for his doom,” said one of the companions of the big man.
