Chapter 96 - Ghost Saber (1/2)
It was about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Including Ye Xiao's previous salary and savings, it was now more than 100,000 yuan.
However, things like money did not have much meaning to the current Ye Xiao.
It was just that he could buy more delicious food.
Such a peaceful life lasted for about a month.
Until one morning...
"Shocking news, my friends!"
That morning, Ye Xiao had just arrived at the upper floor to read when he heard someone exclaim in surprise.
Generally speaking, the library required a quiet environment, and very few people were noisy.
However, that person's words successfully attracted the curiosity of everyone there.
Therefore, no one was complaining.
"The genius of the Han state, Piao Jiansheng, has been defeated!"
Everyone could not help but exclaim,
"Even Piao Jiansheng has been defeated?"
"How is this possible? I've seen his swordsmanship. With such strong sword art attainments, can he still be defeated?"
"Isn't it to be expected? The reason why he was able to sweep through the Jing province before was because in recent years, the martial arts heritage of the Jing province had been somewhat broken. Some martial arts experts had fallen while fighting against the star beasts.
"In fact, there are many capable people in the nine provinces. There are still many recluse martial arts experts who have taught a few geniuses. It's just that they haven't left the mountain yet."
"Yes, I've heard that in the nine provinces, there are a total of 17 top-tier martial arts experts who have entered the top ranks of the Dragon and Phoenix rankings. Two of them seemed to have received the news of taking in disciples 20 years ago."
"Are you talking about swordmaster Lu Qingshan? And saber prodigy Li Liushui?"
"That's right. The two of them are both martial artists of the divine sect and are famous in the nine provinces. They should be the disciples that the two of them taught and defeated Piao Jiansheng, right?"
However, the person who spoke first shook his head.
"It's not him. It's the successor of the Jia He Liu's Ninja Blade from the Ying state, Sasaki Taro."
"It's actually the successor of the Jia He Liu's Ninja Blade! I heard that this guy also wants to follow Piao Jiansheng and challenge the prowess of the saber art experts of Zhong province."
"Yes, his master is the master of the Jia He Liu Ninja Blade from Ying state, Beizumi Murakami!"
Everyone knew that Beizumi Murakami was the top martial artist from Ying state and was ranked 50th in the Dragon list. He was three places lower than Piao Jiansheng's master, Liu Chengxun.
The reason why he defeated Piao Jiansheng was to humiliate the Han state. With Piao Jiansheng as the starting point, he began to challenge the younger generation of martial artists in the Zhong province. The first stop was our Jianghai city's Qin Yuyan
"D*mn! She's the first one he wants to target in our Jianghai city? I'm afraid she'll be in trouble this time.".
Jia He Liu's Ninja Blade was an unparalleled cultivation technique that combined saber techniques and Ying state ninjutsu. It was famous for its craftiness, strangeness, viciousness, and ruthlessness. It was impossible to guard against.
There was a joke on the internet that explained how terrifying Jia He Liu's Ninja Blade was.
Once the Ghost Saber turned invisible, one slash would slice your throat before you know it.
"Last time, Qin Yuyan lost to Piao Jiansheng, and now Piao Jiansheng has lost to Sasaki Taro. That Qin Yuyan will definitely lose again."
"I heard that today is the day of the duel, but it's a pity that there's no live broadcast. We're still in the library right now. If we run over, it'll probably be too late. We can only wait until someone records a video and puts it on the Internet!"
Everyone sighed incessantly. Ye Xiao, who was reading by the side, did not mind.
He read books every day, so he naturally had some understanding of such things on a surface level.
Jia He Liu's Ninja Blade, commonly known as the Ghost Saber, was a combination of the two basics of saber techniques, the fast saber, and the illusionary saber, that were both evolved to perfection. That was why when it was used, it would be tricky to deal with when in reality, it was a combination of speed and feints. Although it had a scary name, when faced with a real saber technique, it was still not good enough.
The saber intent that Qin Yuyan had comprehended contained the Overpowering Saber intent. It had condensed the seven most basic saber techniques. It could be said that it had gathered the essence of the saber technique and evolved to the highest state!
Therefore, from that point of view, Jia He Liu's Ninja Blade would definitely not be able to defeat the Overpowering Saber.
