Chapter 47: 047 That Knife
Translator: 549690339
In the early morning, a horse carriage entered the town of Ping County.
Outside the carriage, an old man with a goatee said, “Young Master, we have arrived at Ping County.”
Inside the carriage sat a handsome youth, unparalleled in beauty, dressed in a pristine white robe. He exuded a razor-sharp aura, akin to an unsheathed sword.
“Are there any skilled fighters in this county?”
The voice, cold and clear, clearly belonged to a woman dressed as a man.
The goateed old man replied, “The Fang Family, the respected clan of the county, has a few Third Rank fighters. But, most of them have grown complacent through years of privilege, and haven’t sparred with anyone for many years. Only two have considerable skills, but they are currently secluded in their cultivation, I doubt we’ll get to meet them.”
“Furthermore, the second son of the Lin Family has established a gang here, with two very strong Third Rank followers. But, the Lin’s second son is notoriously frivolous, behaving without restraint. It’s better for you not to cross paths with him, to avoid trouble.”
The “Young Master” inside the carriage neither agreed nor disagreed, waiting for him to continue.
She knew, the old man wouldn’t bring her to Ping County without a reason.
Sure enough, the old man continued, “Apart from this, there’s another skilled Third Rank warrior, Tian Fei. He was originally a guerilla under the command of Marquis Wu An. Over twenty years ago, after Wu An was imprisoned, he left the military heartbroken and has been living in Ping County ever since.”
The “Young Master” inside the carriage reacted subtly, “If he was under Wu An, how proficient is he with Wu An’s Overlord Spear?”
Wu An, one of the powerful figures who shook the world two decades ago, was infamous for his Overlord Spear technique. Nearly invincible, he stood third on the First Rank list.
Her purpose for traveling was to test the martial artists around the world, to use it as a stepping stone to reach the Third Rank Realm.
Over the past half year, the opponents she encountered had greatly disappointed her. None of the so-called experts could even withstand her three sword strikes.
She hoped that this Tian Fei could surprise her.
In no time, the carriage stopped outside of Tian’s residence. There stood a man and a woman at the entrance calling out, “We, the late learners, have come to pay a visit to senior Tian.”
Their voices echoed from afar, displaying their profound skills.
The “Young Master” in the carriage deduced that the man was a Third Rank based on his voice. His tone didn’t sound like a friendly visit – it suggested trouble.
“Someone beat us to it.”
Her curiosity piqued, she asked, “Uncle Wu, who is this person?”
The goateed old man also found it puzzling, “I can’t tell, but he appears to be in his early twenties. I haven’t heard of such talent in Ping County.”
Third Rank warriors don’t just grow on trees, sprung out of nowhere.
At this moment, a voice as loud as a gong rang out, “Good, I’m quite interested in seeing what kind of young hero dares to shout outside my residence.”
The door opened from the inside.
The pair walked in. The goateed old man said, “Young Master
“Let’s go take a look.”
The “Young Master” in white pushed the carriage door open and stepped out. She detected the tension between the two and thought and opportunity to observe a real fight.
The old man with the goatee followed her into the Tian residence.
Tian’s servants who mistaken all four people as being together, didn’t try to stop them.
In no time, they saw Tian Fei standing in their courtyard, dressed in black, hands behind his back. His gaze was sharp like an eagle’s, scanning the four guests.
When he saw the “Young Master” in white, his gaze lingered a moment longer and his brows slightly furrowed.
Such grace and demeanor could only come from a prominent family upbringing.
Finally, Tian Fei stared at the heroic man in front of him and said coldly, “Did you come for the Qingxuan Sect?”
The man replied, “Correct.”
“Then you can leave now.” He spoke harshly, leaving no room for negotiation.
