Chapter 15 (2/2)

Du Changfeng stared at the boulder.

“I used my abilities to guarantee that he is definitely no weaker than a peak great grandmaster. Furthermore, he is strong with no perceivable weaknesses! He can be considered a demigod!”

Qin Shenglong was instantly dumbfounded. His mouth was wide open, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground.

Demigod… From the demigod sect?

“You’re not joking with me, right? Why would there be a martial artist from the demigod sect in such a small city?”

“It’s hard to say. After all, martial artists are as common as clouds in this world. Moreover, it’s hard to see the head and tail of a divine dragon. It’s hard to guess their thoughts.”

Du Changfeng sighed. Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke again,

“Speaking of which, how’s Yuyan’s cultivation now?”

At the mention of his granddaughter, Qin Shenglong’s face could not help but reveal a trace of pride.

“She’s already a fifth-grade martial artist, and the Qin family’s sword arts have already been comprehended to about 70 percent .”

“Great! To be able to become a fifth-grade martial artist at such a young age is truly commendable.”

“Recently, the Han state produced a young sword art genius named Piao Jiansheng! He came to all parts of the nine provinces to challenge the geniuses with the way of the sword! He has already defeated dozens of people!

Even a few genius sword cultivators from the Jingdou Martial Arts Academy were defeated by his sword!”

Qin Shenglong’s expression froze.

“I’ve also heard a little about Piao Jiansheng, but he’s just a citizen of a small state like the Han state. How could he be so strong? Those few sword art geniuses in Jing province aren’t weak either, right?”

Du Changfeng let out a long sigh.

“It’s not that you don’t know how many times in the past 200 years, our nine provinces have been tricked by the various states. They intentionally led the star beasts into the nine provinces, causing the deaths of so many martial artists.

“Who knows how many gifted children have been cut off from the martial arts heritage!

“How many Heaven’s prodigies can’t receive the guidance of a proper master?

“And among them, the sword art martial artist suffered the most casualties!

“Besides, how could two countries fight to the death for such reasons? They fought honorably through sword prowess and sword techniques. Though their cultivation should have been suppressed to the Houtian fifth grade. That kid’s sword prowess… Even I have to admire it.”

“What?”

Qin Shenglong’s pupils constricted, and his face was shocked.

What kind of person was Du Changfeng talking about? If even he said so, then how strong was Piao Jiansheng?

Du Changfeng said meaningfully,

“I heard that his next target is the central plains. The Qin clan sword is quite famous in the central plains and is the closest to Jing province. I reckon that the first thing he will do when he arrives at the plains will be to make an example of your Qin clan!”

…

On the other side, in front of the huge saber mark on the riverbank of Jianghai city.

Accompanied by a gust of wind, Qin Yuyan gradually retracted her saber.

She was not a Xiantian realm cultivator, so she was not able to release her spiritual energy to shake off the perspiration.

At that moment, her clothes were drenched in sweat, and her clothes were tightly pressed against her skin.

She used her sleeve to wipe off the perspiration on her forehead. Gazing at the mark across the river, her face was slightly dazed.

“Whoever you are, I wonder if you are still in Jianghai city?”

Ever since that day, when Qin Yuyan saw that saber strike, she was completely stunned.

For the first time in her life, she felt that she had truly developed an interest in martial arts!

For so many years, she had been like a marionette, practicing the Qin family’s sword techniques at her grandfather’s request.

However, what she loved was not sword techniques!

In fact, even her soul was more like a saber rather than a sword.

Nevertheless, her grandfather just had to insist that it was a sword!

Then, when she saw that move, the pressure she had been suppressing for years finally exploded.

She was going to disobey her grandfather’s wishes and secretly learn saber techniques!

Although she did not know what kind of punishment she would receive in the end.

However, as long as she could learn saber techniques, she would not be afraid even if she died!

At that moment, 10,000 meters downstream, a golden light suddenly flashed, filled with endless majesty.

It caused her pupils to dilate.

“What a strong imposing aura! It’s stronger than Grandpa’s! When did Jianghai city have such a…. Wait a minute, could it be that person?”
