Embers of Sword

Chapter 130: Xie Zhen, I ask you all for swords!

"It's been a long time... since I've seen such a scene."

Xie Xuanyi sat lazily on the wooden chair, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

The breeze blowing across my cheeks gradually grew stronger, and streaks of light flashed across the end of the night.

Dozens of sword energies moving together is indeed a rare sight.

After dozens of breaths, these sword energies all fell in front of Xie Xuanyi.

The night of the mansion was shattered by the sword energy, the lantern hanging in front of the door was swaying back and forth in the strong wind, and Xie Xuanyi's clothes were also blown by the sharp energy.

He slowly stood up from the wooden chair.

The open space in front of the courtyard was bustling as never before. Thirty or forty sword energies were landing on the lawn, and judging from the situation, it was likely to get more intense...

but.

Although these young sword cultivators looked aggressive, their expressions were subtle after they landed.

They came from Zhenyin Peak riding swords.

When he landed in front of Xie Zhen's residence, he was dumbfounded.

The matter of the Lotus Jade Order had been fermenting for a day, and had been pushed to the top of the wave when the law enforcers from the Golden Ao Peak "came to the door" tonight.

Those big shots who were invited to attend the Sword Qi Ceremony were watching the show behind the scenes.

Visitors from small sects and schools are also waiting for a "result".

It's just that Qi Lie left, and the result is not known yet——

Soon after, Prince Jiangning called a banquet and invited them to get together. During the banquet, no one knew who started the discussion on this matter. For a moment, everyone was excited. Someone suggested riding the sword to the foot of Lotus Peak to see what abilities Xie Zhen had. If Jin'ao Peak did not give them justice, then they would ask for the sword and give justice to this Sword Qi Ceremony!
The practice of swordsmanship is naturally straightforward.

These sword cultivators who landed in front of the lawn in the Lotus Courtyard were the first group to set out. They expected that if Xie Zhen was "well-informed", he would definitely close the door tonight and would not dare to fight.

But I never expected it.

Instead of closing the door, Xie Zhen opened it wide.

I also moved a wooden chair and stood in front of the door, waiting for the sword practitioners to arrive!
"Thank you, Zhen!"

A young swordsman stepped forward and asked, "Do you know why we are here tonight?"

Xie Xuanyi put his hands behind his back.

He looked around and asked with a smile, "Ask about the sword?"

An understatement.

The young swordsman didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He also wanted to stand on the moral high ground, criticize Xie Zhen, and then bring up the sword-asking issue.

But Xie Zhen did not dodge at all.

Get straight to the point.

"Yes...it's the sword question!"

The young swordsman snorted coldly, took another step forward, and said loudly: "I am Jiang Ning--"

The conversation was interrupted as soon as the word "Jiangning" came out.

Xie Zhen, who was originally standing in front of the courtyard gate, came to the front of the young swordsman in an instant and used a simple knee strike, knocking the young swordsman so hard that he bent over like a shrimp. His feet left the ground and flew backwards. Under the horrified gazes of dozens of people, he flew dozens of feet away and hit an old tree heavily, knocking him unconscious.

There was a "boom"!
The sword cultivators on the lawn fell silent in an instant.

This was too fast, too unreasonable, and completely without any "etiquette".

Before asking for the sword, you should let the person finish speaking, right?
Xie Zhen took action directly!

The most outrageous thing is that they didn’t even see clearly how Xie Zhen made his move!
Among the group of sword cultivators.

Someone whispered angrily, "Xie Zhen, you have no moral principles!"

"That's a bad word."

Xie Xuanyi was not annoyed at all, and smiled and said: "Don't let him introduce himself, for his sake, if he is defeated in one move, it will be too embarrassing for the sect... Besides, you all came to "ask the sword" tonight, and you are trying to bully the minority with your numbers. You should be the ones who have no martial ethics."

"How ridiculous! That guy earlier was clearly not prepared!"

The voice continued to spread among the crowd: "You shameless fellow, you actually attacked before asking for the sword!"

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark crowd across the lawn.

"Okay... maybe I don't know the rules very well."

He smiled and said, "According to your understanding, should we say something before we start fighting?"

At this moment, sword energy continued to fall from the lawn, and the sword cultivators from Zhenyin Peak who had heard the news gradually arrived at the foot of Lianhua Peak.

These sword cultivators who came later looked towards the old tree in surprise.

Has the sword-asking already begun?

How come the next one fell down?

"nature!"

"Since you are asking for the sword, you must let me know before you can start!"

The swordsman who had been continuously transmitting messages in an attempt to stir up trouble stepped back, retreated behind everyone, and after making sure it was safe, he transmitted messages again.

"I see……"

Xie Xuanyi nodded.

The next moment, Xie Xuanyi took a step forward and crashed directly into the crowd. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the figure who had been hiding behind.

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to like voice transmission very much, why don't you show up and see me?"

The black-clothed swordsman who was hiding at the back of the crowd and preparing to continue transmitting the message suddenly changed his expression.

He looked at the big hand that suddenly appeared in front of him in horror!
My soul amplification technique was flawless. There were so many people at the scene... How did Xie Zhen catch me? !

"what!"

A howl.

The black-clothed swordsman was pulled out directly. He struggled hard and drew his sword to slash at Xie Xuanyi!

But Xie Xuanyi didn't dodge at all.

Click!
The sword hit Xie Xuanyi's wrist, and golden light shone from his orifice, emitting sounds like wind and thunder.

With one sword strike, Xie Xuanyi's wrist was unharmed.

The sword broke directly.

Xie Xuanyi grabbed the sword cultivator by the collar and lifted him up: "I'll give you a chance. Tell me the sect and family behind him."

The swordsman looked at the young man in front of him with horror.

He kept his mouth shut.

"Why, it's your turn now, but you don't want to?"

Xie Xuanyi sneered: "Are you afraid now? Are you afraid of exposing your family and bringing shame to your master?"

The originally crowded group of sword cultivators suddenly dispersed in all directions, leaving a piece of open space again.

Countless eyes fell on this sword cultivator.

"Xie Zhen, you are going too far!"

The swordsman's face flushed red.

Just as he was about to say something else——

A slap in the face!

Xie Xuanyi did not use too much strength. Now, all of his 108 major acupoints were ignited, and he could be considered a pure body-refining warrior.

If this slap was done with full strength.

This guy's head could be blown off.

But even if he stopped, the slap was still very powerful. The black-clothed swordsman was hit and flew into the air, turning several times in the air like a spinning top.

A cloud of blood and several teeth flew into the air.

"Didn't I say before that sword practitioners should be aboveboard in their actions?"

Xie Xuanyi looked at the black-clothed swordsman and said calmly, "I'll give you this slap on behalf of your master."

"Woooo..."

The swordsman's cheeks were swollen, all his teeth were knocked out, and he could no longer speak.

"roll."

Xie Xuanyi loosened his hand and let it fall freely, saying expressionlessly: "How far away, go as far as you can, and don't let me see you again in the future."

The reason why I held back on the previous slap was because I was holding back.

It’s not that I’m afraid of making things worse.

But today is the first day of the Dasui Sword Palace Sword Qi Ceremony——

Auspicious day.

It's okay to see blood, but there's no need to cause loss of life.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of Zhenyin Peak.

He knew that there were many people waiting to watch the fun tonight.

That being the case.

He gave those people a very impressive "liveliness".

The lotus lawn, which was originally full of noise, was now somewhat quiet, and even the temperature seemed to have become a little cold.

"Xie Zhen... doesn't seem to be a sword cultivator."

"I didn't see the flying sword."

"Why is this guy a warrior?"

Such sounds spread among the crowd in a very low voice.

Xie Xuanyi stood among the crowd. He waited quietly for a moment. The sword lights from the direction of Zhenyin Peak fell one after another. In total, there were nearly fifty or sixty sword lights, and almost all of them had landed.

Until then.

Xie Xuanyi finally spoke.

"Everyone who came here today must have come to ask me about the sword."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the people surrounding him and said seriously, "Next, I won't bother you any more."

All the sword cultivators looked somewhat bewildered at this moment.

"Someone reminded me earlier that before Wen Jian made a move, he needed to say hello..."

Xie Xuanyi bowed slowly and said, "Today, Xie Zhen is asking you for your sword skills. I would like to inform you that you should bear with me and show mercy."

"???"

After a brief silence.

The expressions of the people who landed in front of the lawn of Lotus Peak changed drastically.

What the hell? !
Xie Zhen took the initiative to ask them for the sword?
Why didn't the plot go as expected?
After the words fell, Xie Xuanyi was no longer polite and attacked directly. He grabbed the nearest sword cultivator and punched him, making the sword cultivator fly out like a kite with a broken string. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he was like a wolf among the sheep, punching and kicking the neighboring sword cultivators, shoulder-butting, knee-butting. Although he only had two arms, it was as if he had three heads and six arms, almost making a phantom -

Suddenly, there were ghosts howling and wolves howling on the lawn of Lotus Peak!
"I can't even pull out the sword..."

"That's it, you still have the nerve to ask about the sword?"

Xie Xuanyi rushed left and right in the crowd, with no intention of stopping.

This time of sword-chasing was completely different from the fight in Beihailing.

In Xie Zhen's opinion.

If we are going to have a farce tonight, we might as well make it a bigger one.

He has no control over those big shots who hide behind the scenes and watch the fun quietly.

But there are "young people" who want to fish in troubled waters, take advantage of the prestige of Prince Jiangning, and use the general situation to suppress themselves.

One counts as one.

They should all be taught a lesson.

boom! boom! boom!
The young sword cultivators who landed in front of the lawn of Lotus Peak flew away one by one!
The old tree was hit by the flying bodies more than a dozen times and was knocked away by Xie Xuanyi. The unconscious sword cultivators piled up like a small hill under the tree!
Just when Xie Xuanyi was about to clean up the sword cultivators on the lawn——

The roar sounded again in the distant sky.

A ray of silver-white sword light shot out from the sky several miles away, like a crossbow arrow, aiming at the back of Xie Xuanyi.

A hundred meters away, the lawn of Lotus Peak drops sharply.

Rumble!
The area within a ten-foot radius where Xie Xuanyi was standing was locked by sword energy, and grass debris flew everywhere!
"?"

Xie Xuanyi suddenly turned around and punched the sword energy that was coming down at him!
This sword has great power.

He took a step back slightly.

After the punch was thrown, the silver-white sword energy exploded and shattered, turning into a fragmented firework in the sky above the lawn.

The sword energy and fireworks fragments fluttered down with the wind.

More than a dozen white-clothed figures riding swords also fell down along with the sword energy fragments.

They came from Zhenyin Peak.

But judging from their clothing, there is a huge difference between them and those previous "mountain cultivators".

"Good physique."

The leading young man in white landed on the sword energy lawn, looked up at the falling sword energy fragments, and exclaimed softly.

He put his hands behind his back, and behind him was a tall cave as silvery as the moon.

Just like before, the silver-white sword energy was hanging in the cave.

There are so many of them, nearly a hundred!
"Are you Xie Zhen?"

The young man in white smiled and said, "Prince Jiangning said that you are gifted. After seeing you today, I think you are truly talented...but you are a little too murderous."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi stood still silently, frowning as he looked at the young man in front of him: "Jiang Ning, Yin Yue Sect, Jing Qingming?"

"you know me?"

Jing Qingming was greatly surprised.

"do not know."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said frankly: "I bought a case file from Fangyuanfang before. Your name was on it and it had a good evaluation of you."

"Oh?"

Jing Qingming had naturally read the case files, and he knew that Fang Yuanfang thought he had good qualifications.

So at this moment, Jing Qingming asked with a smile: "Brother Xie, do you still remember what Fang Yuanfang said about me?"

"I don't remember the rest very clearly... I just remember a little bit."

"The Fangyuanfang case file says that if Prince Jiangning can be admitted to Lotus Peak, then you will definitely have a place in front of the Lotus Peak gate."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and praised: "From this point of view, you are a good material for being a dog."
