Chapter 56: Stab (2/2)

Qin Mu practiced his stabbing over and over again while Village Chief expectation grew higher and higher. First, he requested him to adjust his own strength, then he requested him to adjust the vital qi's strength followed by the spirit embryo's strength as well as incorporating Old Ma's fists and Cripple's legs into the sword skill, increasing the difficulty.

In just a short while, he had stabbed countless times, however, Village Chief remained unsatisfied and made him continue practicing.

Granny Si, Cripple and the rest looked at Qin Mu who was practicing his sword and gave off expressions of shock. Every time the sword stabbed out, there would be a short and rush whistle which was followed by a violent gust that swept both sides. The flags on Blacksmith, Apothecary and Butcher's shops fluttered backward from it.

With every stab he made, a sword mark would be made on the ground. That was the outcome when the sword wind brushed past the ground!

Granny Si was in disbelief as she muttered, ”In just a short time, Village Chief managed to train Mu'er into a sword skill expert. This is simply too…”

Village Chief shook his head, ”I didn't teach him any sword skill. I merely help him organize his strengths together, piece together what all of you had taught him. Now he had merely learned the basics of stabbing and still have quite a long way to go to master the true stab. Furthermore, there's still hack, curve, parry, wave, poke, jab, intercept, raise and so forth in the basic movements of swordplay. When he masters all these basic movements could he be considered to enter the door and be qualified to learn sword skills. Mu'er try stabbing your Pig Slaughter Knife!”

Just as he finished speaking, Qin Mu threw his Pig Slaughtering Knife into the air and manipulated his sword to stab it like lightning!

Clank—!

The sharp sword met with the Pig Slaughtering Knife and pierced through the treasure knife made from Winter Crystal Iron.

The Pig Slaughtering Knife fell to the ground along with the sharp sword as Qin Mu stared blankly before going forward to take a look. He had no idea he could have such great improvement in just a short time.

Stab, the most basic movement of sword skill could actually have such power!

Village Chief's heart jolted. It was also out of his expectation that Qin Mu had been able to master stab so quickly. ”Mu'er, you can meet the Sword Hall Master now.”

”Hold it!”

The young patriarch who was in front of him hurriedly raised his hand and a wooden club flew over from the forest. Stretching a finger out, he shaved the wooden club into a wooden sword that was about a yard long and passed it to Qin Mu, ”Use this sword to meet him and don't use a real sword.”

Qin Mu took the wooden sword and took a look at Granny Si. Granny Si explained, ”Sword Hall Master had sealed his other divine treasures and only left his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure opened. With only the cultivation of Spirit Embryo Realm, you will stab him to death if you use a real sword. Go now.”

Qin Mu thought for a moment and placed his sword pouch as well as his Junior Protector Sword at the village entrance. Carrying the wooden sword on his back, he went back into the wooden building next door to meet the Sword Hall Master.

The Sword Hall Master was still sitting in seiza with his hand on his sword case. With his piercing gaze, he asked, ”You're back from consulting the number one in sword skills in the world? Use what you've learned and attack me! I would like to see who could be so arrogant to claim himself as number one!”

Qin Mu shook his head, ”I didn't learn any sword skill. Village Chief only taught me a movement.”

The Sword Hall Master frowned and said coldly, ”I'll give you time, go learn again. Come back and face me once you've learned a sword move!”

Qin Mu replied awkwardly, ”Your Heavenly Devil Cult Patriarch asked me to come to face you with a wooden sword instead of a real sword in case I stab you to death…”

”Ridiculous!”

The air of Sword Hall Master burst forth and the surroundings were filled with an acrimonious atmosphere. There were the clashing sounds of metals among it as if there were countless swords colliding with each other.

It was the smell of iron and blood mixed together. There was the smell of rust and reek of blood mixing together. Who knew how many humans and living beings had been killed to obtain such air!

His sword case unbuckled automatically and the rectangular case opened up, releasing all the treasures swords kept inside. The swords hummed loudly as they flew out joyfully.

He shared the same emotions with his swords. When he was happy, his swords would be happy. When he was angry, his swords would also be angry. When he wanted to fly, his swords would bring him to the skies and if he wanted to kill, his swords would slaughter.

He was the Sword Hall Master, Sword Maniac.

Now he wants to kill and so the swords in the case flew out and in a split second, filled the entire room with sword lights!

Without a thought, Qin Mu used his qi to manipulate sword and stabbed forward with Secrets Of Sword Clutch!

The sword lights burst forth from the sword case and with a soft clank, the sword lights shattered into pieces!

Bang—!

The Sword Hall Master crashed through the wall behind him in a flash and crashed onto the wooden building opposite with a wooden sword sticking out from his chest.

Qin Mu jumped in shock and quickly pulled his sword back, taking a look. He only gave a sigh of relief when he saw only some blood at the tip of the sword and it hadn't pierced through the body of the Sword Hall Master.

On the opposite wooden building, the body of the Sword Hall Master slowly slid down. He dropped down faster and faster in the air and landed on the ground on his butt. His eyes were lifeless and it seemed that he was still in a daze.

Are you alright?” Qin Mu waved at him.

The Sword Hall Master shook his head in a daze. His body wasn't injured badly but his spirit had been crushed.
