Chapter Four: Five Sword Sects

The Five Sword Sect was situated on the peak of the Virtuous Heaven Mountain, which was surrounded by clouds and mist. The mountains were covered with dark green trees, while the empty mountains were quiet. On the mountain road, silhouettes of people suddenly moved, a group of men in black quickly rushed towards the lone mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there were two disciples. One of them said, ”I heard that Eldest Martial Brother found Lu Xiaotian's heirloom today.”

The other one said, ”Yes, eldest senior brother is really vicious. However, he is also severely injured, and the Sect Leader's Martial Uncle is currently treating him. ”

The first one said, ”I wonder what Lu Xiaotian's treasure is.”

The latter said, ”I'm not sure. I heard it was a martial arts manual written by Lu Xiaotian's martial arts.”

The first one said, ”It can't be. I heard that eldest senior brother brought Jade Butterfly's young lady, Chen Fang, today. Someone heard that Chen Fang said it was some kind of embroidered box, and inside it was a treasure map.”

The latter said, ”Really? If it's a treasure map, then it's fine.”

The first person said, ”What? Are you still planning something? I didn't hear from the Sect Leader that this matter should be left to the Shaolin Temple. Even if it's a treasure map, it's not a problem for you.”

The latter said, ”How can I have the guts?” The mountain breeze blew, and a mountain bird flew out from the forest, crying out to the heavens. He wrapped up his clothes and said, ”What kind of weather is this? It's already sunny and spring, yet it's still so cold. Tonight, the moon is dark and the winds are strong. We can't let anything happen.”

The first one said, ”Fuck your crow beak. We will protect this mountain.” Before the door even said anything, two blades sliced through their throats. The two black shadows instantly passed through the gate. Whether the opponent was a human or a ghost, they couldn't even see clearly. The two black shadows immediately caught their falling bodies. Their cooperation was flawless and they didn't waste the slightest bit of time.

There were no stars nor was there a moon. The night was as cold as water, and four elders could be seen pacing left and right within the palace. He looked anxious. There was a creaking sound as if the door was being opened. The four old men flew towards the back of the hall and surrounded an old man in his sixties.

The elder had a purplish-gold crown on his head and a peaceful expression on his face. His crescent blue robe made him look even more extraordinary. The old man said slowly, ”It should be fine.”

A slightly shorter old man among the four said, ”Can we go in and take a look at Yuanying?”

The old man with the golden crown was the leader of the Five Sword Sect, Liu Jinxiang. He waved his hand and said, ”Thank you for your concern, Junior Brothers. Now that he has gone to sleep, we can see about it tomorrow. Did you send a message to Shaolin?

The yellow robed old man replied, ”It will be released by noon.” ”I should have received it earlier.”

Liu Jinxiang said, ”Good. Tomorrow, when High Monk Shaolin arrives, we will immediately head to Shaowang Mountain.”

The four elders answered in unison, ”Yes!”

At this time, Chen Fang had also heard the commotion and came over. She asked, ”Uncle Liu, how is Brother Yuan Ying?”

Liu Jinxiang replied, ”You're risking your life. You've suffered quite a bit, so you should go rest first.”

Chen Fang said, ”It's all my fault. If it wasn't for my Brother Yuan Ying, he wouldn't have been injured like this.” Let me go in and look after him. ”

Liu Jinxiang said, ”Let him rest a bit longer. Your sister-in-law and Lin'er are inside.”

Suddenly, a disciple rushed over and shouted, ”Sect Leader, something bad happened!”

The slightly shorter old man said, ”What happened to you in such a hurry? Hurry up and tell us.”

That disciple said, ”Report this to the Sect Leader and the Masters and Uncles.” ”A thief has barged in and is now approaching the main hall.”

The old man said, ”What, what are the disciples guarding the sect going to eat? How could this happen? ”Why aren't you coming with me to take a look?” The words came to him at the door.

Liu Jinxiang said, ”Ol 'Five's temper is still so urgent.” ”It seems like tonight's matter is not simple.”

The four elders hurriedly walked towards the main hall. He saw that the main hall was in chaos, and there were dozens of corpses lying on the ground. No matter how well-nourished Liu Jinxiang was, he couldn't help but be moved. He shouted, ”Stop!”

The shout pierced through the clouds like a thunderclap. He said harshly, ”Who are you people? How dare you come to my Five Sword Sect to behave atrociously?” Looking at the entire hall of black clothed people, all of them had their faces covered while their own disciples were lying on the ground, the viciousness of these black clothed people was truly shocking.

The old man who had just left just happened to kill a black-clothed man. He walked up to Liu Jinxiang and said, ”Sect Leader, you must be careful. These people are all experts.”

At this moment, there were two pairs of eyes on the stage. Liu Jinxiang walked to the center and said, ”Who sent you two here?”

A shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall. Even Liu Jinxiang couldn't see how the shadow had entered. The shadow's movement technique was so strange that he had never even heard of it before.

The black shadow held a folding fan in his hand. It was unknown if the folding fan was a picture of a mountain or a mist. It was so misty that one could not see it clearly, and it added an eerie aura to it. ”Liu Jinxiang, you really are stupid. If they tell you, they won't cover your face.”

Listening to the voice, this black shadow's age was not big, and his movement technique was actually so strange at such a young age. The yellow-robed elder said, ”You thief, how dare you call my sect leader by his full name?”

The black-clothed youth laughed out loud. His laughter was shrill and shrill, like a demon that had just emerged from hell. He said coldly, ”Tonight, I've come to kill all of you. Tell me, what else do I not dare to do?”

The yellow-robed old man said, ”What an arrogant bandit, let me fight you.” He drew his sword and pointed it at the old man's throat.

The youth coldly snorted and said, ”You aren't worthy to fight with me!” Two black shadows flashed from his side, attacking the yellow-robed old man with a blade and sword.

The yellow-robed old man was ranked third among the five elders. His name was Luo Jinrui, and he had been famous since he was young. Yet, this arrogant young man actually said that he wasn't worthy to be his opponent. He couldn't help but be enraged. The sword light transformed into thousands of cold stars as it fiercely attacked.

Two black shadows, one saber and one sword. They complemented each other, with one defending and the other attacking. The longsword defended as it danced in an impenetrable manner. Single saber attack, peerlessly fast.

After a few moves, he was forced to retreat. He thought to himself, ”Don't tell me I'm really old!”

The fifth brother, Ma Jin, saw that Luo Jinrui was being pushed back and the third senior brother was actually unable to stop the two of them. The two of them attacked each other and cooperated with each other. ”Two against one. What kind of man are you?” He leaped up and attacked with his sword.

The youth in black said, ”We didn't say ourselves that we were good men. ”It's just that you forced yourself to be a good man.” Two more shadows flashed out from his side and attacked Ma JinChuang.

The black-clothed youth continued, ”Tonight, none of you will leave this place. If I don't understand your Five Sword School, how would I dare to come up the mountain? ” Then he laughed again.

Liu Jinxiang said, ”That will depend on whether you have the ability or not.” A sword beam flashed as it flashed towards the black-clothed youth's throat like a bolt of lightning in the darkness. After what had happened tonight, this youth should be the leader of these men in black, capturing the thief first and capturing the king.

The black-clothed youth folded his fan and blocked the attack. ”Old fool, you still have some strength. Then I'll play with you.”

Liu Jinxiang's sword aura turned into a long rainbow, continuous and dense. The black-clothed youth's movements were strange, and no matter how he attacked, he wouldn't be able to touch a single spot of Liu Jinxiang's clothes.

The black-clothed youth suddenly retreated three feet. ”Old man, that's all you can do. Now let me show you my benefits. ” Suddenly, he retracted his folding fan and intersected his palms. Like a whirlwind, he flashed towards Liu Jinxiang's chest like a meteor, leaving him with no time to dodge. They were sent flying three to four feet away. Lying on the ground, his eyes were wide open as he said, ”It's the Sky Worm Silk …” He did not finish his sentence. A folding fan entered his throat.

The youth in black leaned over and whispered into Liu Jinxiang's ear, ”I didn't expect you to recognize him.” With that said, he took out his folding fan. Hot blood poured from his folding fan.

The four elders rushed to Liu Jinxiang's side and shouted his name. At this moment, Liu Jinxiang had already died.

The wind continued to howl. The mournful wind was like sharp knives piercing into everyone's body, piercing into their bones.

The four elders looked at each other. Everyone knew that the odds were against them today. Suddenly, the three old men charged towards the youth in black. Although their martial arts had yet to reach the Transcending Mortality Stage, they were still extraordinary. The three old men's all-out attack was exceptionally fierce. Even though the youth's movement technique was strange, it caused him to move up and down, dodging with all his might.

However, Luo Jinrui rushed into the back hall and rushed into the room where Liu Yuanyin was healing. He saw a beautiful woman sitting on the bed and chair. She was tall and had a graceful figure. He was wearing a set of emerald green clothes. He walked over lightly. ”Third teacher, what happened?”

Luo Jinrui said, ”Yumei, the bandits are too hard on you tonight. Take Lin'er with you and leave first.”

Chen Yumei asked, ”What? Where's Daddy?”

Luo Jinrui said, ”Head senior brother, quickly leave. Don't ask so much, no one will be able to leave if you're late. Right now, your three martial uncles are supporting us, we won't be able to escape for long.”

Chen Yumei was shocked by the change. She woke up and said, ”Who dares to be so bold? I'll go take a look.” Just as he sat up, a long snatch flew in from outside the window to pierce his body.

Chen Yumei screamed and ran over to catch Liu Yuanying. ”Yuan Ying, how are you?” Tears rolled down his face.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Liu Yuanying gripped Chen Yumei's hands tightly and said, ”Quickly, go and protect our Lin'er.” As soon as he finished speaking, he left.

Chen Yumei cried, ”Yuanyinying, you can't leave me alone.”

Roginari thought how quickly the thieves came. She hurriedly said, ”Yu Mei, let's go quickly. The thief is here.” Lin'er. ”Take Lin'er and leave quickly.”

Startled, Chen Yumei exclaimed, ”Lin'er!” ”Where is my Lin'er?”

”Isn't Lin here? She should go back to her room to sleep.”

Chen Yumei's heart skipped a beat and immediately rushed out of the room. A shadow flashed in the yard and the three elders were engaged in a fierce battle.

Magin said, ”Why haven't you left yet? Do you really want my Five Sword Sect to destroy their seed? ”

Chen Yumei called out to the Fifth Martial Aunt and quickly went to Lin'er's room.

As soon as he stepped out of the doorway, he was thrown into the air and immediately held on to him with both hands.

Ma Jin said, ”Third senior brother, why haven't you left yet? Brother, we can't hold on much longer. ”

A trickle of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had suffered internal injuries. He said, ”Junior Martial Brother Ma, you are injured.” ”You take Lin'er and leave first, I'll leave this heavy burden to you.” With that, he rushed into the fray.

Ma Jin looked at Luo Jinrui's disappearing figure and said, ”Master, you can go ahead.”

He heard a loud laugh and said, ”Who can leave tonight?” The young man folded his fan and took Ma Jin's throat.

Maginent swore at the thief. He immediately raised his sword and leaped three feet back. He actually felt a strong wind blowing against his face. How could this Thief's martial arts be so powerful?

At this moment, the black-clothed men were tightly surrounding the four of them. The youth said, ”Quickly go find that woman. Leave none alive and kill them all. ”

Chen Yumei slammed open the door of Lin'er's room. The room was pitch black. She rushed to the bed and touched it, but there was no one there. The bed was cold, so where could Lin'er have been surprised in her heart? She called out, ”Lin'er, Lin'er!” ”Where are you?”

The night was getting darker. The dark wind was like cold blood, and the nameless insect birds were also wailing.

Chen Yumei's heart sank. This sudden change had caused his entire body to collapse.

Suddenly, a shout came from a dark corner. Mom, Lin'er is here.

Chen Yumei was overjoyed. ”Quickly, come here!”

Lin'er tightly hugged her mother's thigh. ”Mother, I'm so scared.”

Chen Yumei said, ”Lin'er, don't be afraid. Mother is here.” He picked up Lin'er. He hurriedly headed outside. He had just bumped into Chen Fang. He saw that she was also rushing over.

Chen Fang said, ”Sister-in-law, what happened?”

Chen Yumei said, ”Sister Fang, hurry up and go, don't ask so much. I don't know where many black clothed people came from tonight. ”Even my father used his meridians … Sigh … Hurry, let's go. My four uncles are currently holding on with all their might.”

Chen Fang exclaimed, ”It's all my fault. I've implicated your entire sect. Just who are these people to act so viciously?”
