The Spirit World

Chapter 119: Thunder Slashing Soul

The Seven Swordsmen

The most important thing is naturally their weapons.

King sword!

There is naturally not just one royal sword. There are seven people in the Seven-Man Group, so there are naturally seven royal swords.

The Seven King Swordsmen got their name from the common characteristics of seven imperial-level weapons.

In fact, it is more reasonable to call them rebels, but Wangdao Seven is also the name they called themselves, so it has been passed down and used.

According to the speculation of historians who have studied this period of history, the reason why Wang Dao's seven men attacked Yuzhao City was because their leader [Shadow of the Thunder] [Tang Yibai] was insulted by the lord of Yuzhao City when he was young. He held a grudge and raised an army in Yuzhao. With the strength of seven people, they slaughtered everyone in Yuzhao City, and blood flowed like a river, with corpses scattered all over the ground.

However, although historical records do record that the city lord humiliated Tang Yibai, and it also fits with the historical records that Tang Yibai is vindictive and frivolous, it is difficult to explain why Tang Yibai needed to massacre the entire Yuzhao City. If he only needed to retaliate against the city lord, why bother involving the innocent people of Yuzhao City?
Therefore, in the eyes of historians who study this period of history, there is another saying, that is, Tang Yibai was infected by evil spirits, and his murderous intent made him unable to help but attack innocent people. Therefore, everyone in Yuzhao City at that time became a victim of his madness, including the other members of the Wangdao Seven.

However, everyone knows that a person infected by the evil spirit would not be able to arrange such a sophisticated siege plan. Therefore, whether to place the time period of infection by the evil spirit in the siege stage or the conspiracy stage is a huge point of controversy in the historical community.

However, no matter what, relying on the existing data, it is impossible to fully restore such an incredible and terrifying event as the seven men of Wang Dao's group attacking the city.

Tang Yibai was originally a talented young man recorded in the Imperial Register of Famous People.

He was born a dragon at the age of ten, and was awarded the title of "Shadow of Thunder" at the age of fifteen. He even entered the Wutong Division and served as a soldier for a period of time.

However, in peacetime, there is no place for a martial arts genius to use his skills. The young Tang Yibai was absolutely unwilling to guard the border, so he joined the Wutong Division. The Wutong Division was directly under the emperor of the empire, and the treatment there was definitely superior, and the glory was naturally unlimited.

However, from another perspective, it is basically impossible to realize great ambitions. This is inevitable. In order to maintain peace and stability in the country, the empire has set up many civil servants. After guarding the "black room" of Wutong Division for several years, he felt bored, and the position of guarding the Sealed Demon Well was just a waste of his life for him, so he resigned from Wutong Division and became active in some areas of Yuzhao City.

It is true that he was humiliated. According to historical records, when the city lord saw Tang Yibai, who was equivalent to retiring from the army, coming to the city, he set up a banquet. However, during the banquet, he was very dissatisfied with Tang Yibai's behavior of ruining his own future and even spoke ill of him.

At that time, Tang Yibai did not refute or make a scene, but threw down his wine glass and left a sentence.

Those who live in a comfortable room are not worth mentioning!

Run out of the door.

After that, there were few records of him.

Until the Yuzhao City incident, he went from being an unruly genius to a rebellious thief. His historical materials and names were sealed and could not be read until many years later, when this period of history could be discussed. The Records of Geniuses and Celebrities also re-recorded Tang Yibai's affairs, but the second half of his life was cut out. For many people, they did not think that his deeds as a rebellious thief with seven people attacking the city were very interesting. After all, he was a genius. What they liked to discuss most was Tang Yibai's unruly character and his ambition to be content with a corner. For many people, even if they sat in the "black room" of Wutong Division for a lifetime and their martial arts were useless, they would not complain. However, for young people, they definitely did not want their lives to be like this and wasted in vain, so Tang Yibai did have a lot of after-dinner talk.

Many people have also conducted special research on Tang Yibai's legendary history and never get tired of it.

Tang Yibai himself did not write any books, but his stories are still widely circulated, although most of the time they are bad.

As the leader of the Seven King Swordsmen, his [Thunder Zanpakutani] is also an emperor-level weapon.

Although [Thunder Zanpaku Nagi] is a naginata, it is similar to the偃月刀. There is a thunder pattern on its偃月朴刀 that specifically matches its name. It is outlined in reverse direction, the blade is snow-white all over, and the handle is made of black iron core wood, which is extremely hard and heavy. It is basically placed in Tang Yibai's special space sleeve pocket.

This naginata, along with the other six weapons, was reforged by a hermit master. Legend has it that the spirit of a fairy was added to the forging process, making their swords even more terrifying. Seven emperor-level weapons were gathered at once, so the strength of the Seven King Swordsmen could definitely be said to be terrifying.

When the Seven King Swordsmen were suppressed, the seven different types of swords disappeared strangely, leaving only Tang Yibai's [Thunder Zanpakutsu] preserved in an ancient temple. Because it had killed countless people and was contaminated with evil spirits, it had to be kept in the temple to suppress it.

The name of this temple is Lingguang Temple.

[Late night of February 2027, in the Principality]

[Edge of Lingguang Temple]

"Fifth sister, you'd better not be too anxious. Big brother has instructed us not to cause any commotion or expose our affairs." He carried his two swords on his back, and the strange patterns on the swords looked like flowing blood. He looked at the fifth sister who was walking in front of him.

They were about to reach Lingguang Temple, where the eldest brother's weapons were hidden, and the exquisite replicas were already in his space sleeve pocket.

They rushed to Lingguang Temple, a thousand miles away, overnight just to steal the eldest brother's naginata, and it must not be exposed. This was the eldest brother's special order.

"Second brother, the fight over third brother is almost over. If we don't go back soon, when eldest brother comes back, he won't have the right weapons and will definitely blame us." They were talking in a special sign language. She walked very fast. There was no one here, only the two of them.

They were not tiptoeing, but their presence was hidden very well. No footsteps, breathing, or even heartbeats could be heard.

"No, Big Brother will definitely wait until we return before making any plans. Don't be so anxious. The guards here are not that strict. It won't take us long to go back and forth."

"You still don't understand what I mean. I mean, we need to go back quickly so that the plan can start earlier. Once we get rid of that old witch, the seven of us can leave that damn place earlier." Her hands were very white, long and thin, and they were born for stealing. She looked at her second brother with some reproach, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, which made her unhappy.

"Of course I know what you mean! But things are not as simple as you think. Do you know why that old witch wanted to resurrect eldest brother?" The second brother looked at him with some confusion. There were many calluses on his hands. Even after being resurrected, he had practiced sword a lot.

She shook her head.

He looked at her and said sadly.

"That old witch is just using my eldest brother! The sooner we finish this, the less useful we will be. It will definitely not be a good thing for us." She took her second brother's words to heart. But, if she doesn't do it, won't it be more troublesome?

Although she knew that her eldest brother was definitely being used, the old witch only resurrected her eldest brother, and she and the other five were just helping her eldest brother, and they were resurrected at her eldest brother's request.

"then what should we do?"

"Aren't we going to take Big Brother's weapons back?"

"Of course not, but we need to think more carefully."

He looked at her seriously. It wasn't too cold at this time of year, but he clearly felt a chill.

For our brother, we must be prepared to make sacrifices.

Just like, five hundred years ago.
