779 Number One in Sword Skills for a Million Years (1/2)
”My sword path is only so-so.”
Qin Mu looked at the sword skill that was clashing with the knife light in the fog and he revealed a smile. ”I only have two moves in my sword path so it's probably lousy.”
His focus was absorbed by Bai Qu'er's sword skills. Bai Qu'er's sword skills had originated from him. He exchanged sword skills with the brother and sister of Bai family forty thousand years ago in High Emperor's Hundred Prosperities City. However, it was only for a brief two to four hours.
The brother and sister of Bai family didn't learn much and afterward, disaster broke out. Hundred Prosperities City was invaded and they started to escape in the darkness.
When the sun rose, they embraced each other in front of a cliff and parted ways.
Bai Qu'er brought the remaining people to survive and her sword skills had originated from Qin Mu's sword skills. She didn't continue forward on the path of Eternal Peace Empire's sword skills and instead, she paved out her own path.
Bai Qu'er sword skills had the spirit of a new lease of life and the hardships of an undertaking in the end of an era. This was caused by the era she was located in and those dark years forced her to grow stronger, using her feeble strength to fight for the survival of the remaining survivors.
Luo Wushuang's knife skills were proficient in calculation and the rays of knife light were upright and proper, overwhelming people with huge power. On the other hand, Bai Qu'er's sword skills break the surface at the weakest points, using terrifying piercing power to break Luo Wushuang's huge power.
Both of their knife skills and sword skills had the shadow of Qin Mu's sword skills. Qin Mu's sword skills had huge power and also intricate calculation. There was also the spirit of piercing through the darkness of an era.
Bai Qu'er received Qin Mu's guidance before while Luo Wushuang's knife skills that were intricate in calculation was crushed by Qin Mu's sword skills that were intricate in calculation. No matter if it was Bai Qu'er or Luo Wushuang, both of them were influenced by Qin Mu.
However, both of them also had their own paths and they had already broken out from the breathtaking display Qin Mu had brought them in that dark night forty thousand years ago. Their different personalities and different circumstances resulted in both of them having different success on their respective paths.
Scholar sat leisurely on the donkey and moved forward calmly. ”It's rare that you are humble for once. However, there are simply too many people cultivating sword skills in the world, the numbers far surpass those cultivating knife skills. There is also an extremely high number of people who had achieved great success in sword skills. The number of people who entered the path with the sword isn't little as well. Let's not talkvabout people who are far away, people that are close by are people like Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor and Sword God Su Muzhe, just in Eternal Peace alone, there are these two huge pillars in the sword path. During Founding Emperor Period, there are countless people who had great success in the sword path. Your sword skill is indeed difficult to be ranked.”
Qin Mu sat on the head of the dragon qilin and he said leisurely, ”Brother, I'm saying my sword path is lousy but I didn't mention my sword skill. In terms of sword skill, if I say I'm number two, no one would dare to admit they are number one.”
He gave a slight smile. ”Looking back a million years, there are countless people who surpassed me in the sword path but on sword skills, I'm already standing on the peak. Maybe someone will surpass me in the future, however, there was no one that had surpassed me in the past million years.”
Scholar was astonished and the donkey under him laughed. ”Hwee!”
The scholar put down the rod and let the donkey have a bite from the carrot. He said with a smile, ”Not even Founding Emperor?”
That donkey took a bite and the carrot suddenly screamed miserably. Right afterward, another section of its body grew back and its body was still complete.
However, that carrot was still screaming endlessly with a miserable voice.
”This carrot has turned into a spirit!”
The water qilin was shocked and he walked forward to examine in detail. Suddenly, that carrot stretched out its arm to punch the water qilin right in the nose, causing his nose to bleed profusely.
”The carrot is alive!” cried the water qilin.
”What are you looking at?”
That carrot said angrily, ”You will also cry out in pain if you got bitten! I'm not a carrot, I'm a ginseng!”
He struggled to get off the rod and cried out, ”Let me go, I want to beat this idiot that had insulted me. I'm going to open this rascal's eyes!”
Qin Mu looked at the carrot and he was endlessly astonished. He said with a smile, ”Not even Founding Emperor.”
Scholar's gaze flickered and he said, ”I've also cultivated sword skills and there are merely two to three people that could surpass me from the past to the present. My sword skills have entered the path and I've deduced my sword path to the thirteen writings of the sword path. In terms of sword skills, I admit my attainments aren't weak as well so I would very much like to meet the number one person in sword skills for a million years.”
He placed down his feathered fan and rod so the carrot stood on the donkey's head. The fishing line coiled around his head and he jumped to and fro on the donkey's head. He gripped his fists and whirled them around as he called out towards the water qilin. ”Come on, let's fight!”
Scholar's gaze flickered and he said, ”You and I shall use vital qi as swords to exchange a few blows. Don't worry, I won't bully you with my cultivation or use my sword path to pressure you.”
Qin Mu shook his head and said, ”You can execute anything on the donkey's back, I don't feel like bullying you.”
”It's common to see a scholar traveling the world with a sword on his waist, writing poems as he wields his sword and kills people on a donkey. Moreover, you are also on the head of a dragon qilin, you can't execute yourself freely as well.”
Scholar said with a smile, ”Once I execute my first sword move, you will jump down from the head of the dragon qilin. The second sword move will make you move ten miles away from here. On the third move, you will be a hundred miles away. On the fourth move, you will be hiding a thousand miles away.”
Qin Mu wore a smile that was yet not a smile on his face. ”Please!”
Vital qi swirled around Scholar's body and his vital qi transformed into a sword formation instantly. Countless fine swords soared about like raindrops and mountains could be faintly seen among the sword lights.
His sword skill was intricate and could be compared to Village Chief's Sword Picture. There was another kind of marvel.
Qin Mu raised his hand and tapped once. A single ray of sword light broke through the air and stabbed into his fine rain and mountains.
That ray of sword light was none other than the second form of his Calamity Sword. The sword light flickered indefinitely and tore through the rain and mountains in an instant. Scholar's countless sword lights missed and couldn't block this sword light at all.
Scholar was astonished and when he saw the sword light coming to his chest, he hurriedly jumped down from the back of the donkey!
