Before this, Xu Qing contacted Xuan Jian and asked Xuan Jian to help him find people through the Luo Wang network.
Xuan Jian did not disappoint Xu Qing's expectations and soon delivered the relevant clues to Xu Qing.
Afterwards, Xu Qing left the Prime Minister's residence again and headed towards a remote border region of the Qi Kingdom.
In the countryside of the State of Qi.
Inside an old house.
An old blind man is stroking a sword.
"What a fine sword! What a fine sword!"
"This is what I've always dreamed of!"
The old man was obsessed with swords, and the path he cultivated was a ruthless one.
In the past, in order to cultivate the supreme sword path, he personally slaughtered his family members, and then even blinded himself, just to avoid being corrupted by the world's hustle and bustle and tainting his sword heart.
He then remained silent for many years, seeking only a precious sword to match his swordsmanship.
It wasn't until he obtained this sword that he felt the meaning of his existence.
Although he was blind, he learned the supreme skill of "Mind's Eye" and could perceive everything around him through his mental power. Although he could not see clearly, he was still able to sense the fierce sword aura that appeared near his secluded village when the Virgin Sword appeared.
So he took action and killed all those who coveted the sword.
Because we cannot see, some things are bound to be missed.
But he didn't care.
After all, he had obtained the treasure he had always dreamed of.
The sword ended up in his hands.
When he touched the Virgo sword, he felt as if the sword was tailor-made for him.
His sword spirit merged with the sword, giving him an incomparably powerful force.
He's clearly old.
But holding this sword is like a withered tree coming back to life, regaining its vitality.
This sword is his destined sword.
Well, all I can say is that the old man was overthinking things.
That feeling of renewed vitality, of withered trees coming back to life, was nothing more than the Virgin Sword awakening the desires within him. Driven by these desires, he experienced a sense of expansion and satisfaction.
The sword itself also possesses some peculiar power.
While it is tough and sharp enough, it relies more on the strength of the swordsman.
This sword acts like an amplifier.
The stronger the swordsman is, the more powerful he will become with the amplification provided by the sword.
This is also why the Virgin Sword caused so much conflict after it appeared, and why its original wielder was unable to protect it.
Ultimately, it's because of insufficient strength; even with divine weapons, they can't unleash their full potential.
After killing the sword seeker, the old man fled with the Maiden Sword.
It wasn't until we arrived at this remote village that we were able to rest for a while.
He was unsure whether there would be more sword seekers in the future.
They didn't care either.
This is his sword; no one can take it away from him.
As for what needs to be done after completely mastering this sword?
Of course, it's to make a name for oneself!
Every martial artist dreams of making a name for themselves in the martial arts world.
When the old man was young, he must have had similar thoughts.
Pursuing the supreme way of the sword, seeking a suitable and renowned sword, and with the sword in hand, making a great name in the martial world.
Unfortunately, his life was full of misfortunes.
He spent most of his life without fulfilling his initial aspiration.
Naturally, he did not become famous in the martial arts world.
However, even he himself did not expect that he would suddenly obtain such a precious sword as he was about to enter his twilight years.
Perhaps at first, he didn't have any intention of becoming famous.
However, some desires in his heart, amplified by the Virgin Sword, led to fame and fortune, which immediately became the old man's current pursuit.
Every day, he was influenced by the Virgo Sword.
This desire is also growing stronger day by day.
And because his body was filled with surging desire, his aging body gradually regained its vitality. He felt that he was not old at all, but as if he had become much younger.
On this day, the old man continued to comprehend the sword in his hand.
Suddenly, he felt the sword in his hand tremble slightly.
His expression immediately changed.
Because he is blind, his senses are stronger than those of ordinary people. His powerful mental strength allows him to perceive everything around him. He has also cultivated a sword heart, which is extremely rare for a swordsman, and can see things through his mind's eye.
In his mind's eye, he "saw" great terror.
Without the slightest hesitation, the old man acted immediately.
Holding the Virgin Sword, he leaped out and swiftly left the dilapidated house. Without another word, he prepared to depart.
If it were before, when he encountered pursuers or powerful enemies, he would naturally not hesitate to fight them and kill them.
But his inner eye, and everything he sensed, told him that the enemy currently appearing in the vicinity was an extremely terrifying being.
In this situation, leaving here temporarily is a good option.
However, he had only just stepped out of the house.
All I could feel was a strong wind sweeping in from all directions.
Splash...
A strong wind whipped up the leaves, turning them into a green ocean that swept towards the old man. Many leaves intertwined, forming chains.
Of course, since the old man was blind, he couldn't see these things, but he could sense these dangers.
No hesitation.
The Virgin Sword was immediately drawn.
This sword, modeled after the "Demon Sword" by Xu Qing and based on a fictional background, is quite similar in appearance to the Demon Sword in Chinese Paladin 3. The difference is that its color is scarlet, and when it is drawn from its sheath, it immediately emits a red light.
The red light is ominous.
A strong smell of blood spread in all directions.
With the old man's wave of his hand, in an instant, many leaves that had come before him and coalesced into chains were all cut apart.
Amidst the swirling catkins, the old man continued to wield his sword.
His swordplay wasn't particularly flashy.
Despite being blind, each of his moves was sharp and concise enough.
The goal is to maximize the destructive power of the moves.
"It's really good!"
Watching the old man brandish his sword, Xu Qing, who was standing not far from the dilapidated house, had a faint smile on his lips.
The net helped him determine the old man's approximate location.
As for Xu Qing, as long as he had a general idea of the location, he could pinpoint the exact location of the Virgin Sword and then find the old man.
Xu Qing suddenly moved again.
In the next instant, he appeared in front of the old man, suddenly raised his hand, and swung it out in mid-air.
In an instant, an overwhelming and unstoppable force burst forth, surging towards the old man.
The old man managed to part the green leaves that were sweeping towards him.
Then I felt another, even more magnificent power.
His expression was solemn.
The virgin sword in her hand gleamed with an even more crimson light.
boom!
As the internal energy clashed with the sword energy, an incredibly thick blood mist appeared between heaven and earth.
Amidst the crimson mist, the old man continued to wield his sword, instinctively attacking those in front of him.
Xu Qing remained unmoved. When the Maiden Sword pierced right beside him, he did not use his "Swordsmith" privilege to interfere with it. Instead, he allowed the sword and the old man's fighting spirit to merge and unleash even greater power.
He flicked his finger.
His fingers landed on the blade of the Virgin Sword.
hum!
An invisible force flowed along the sword and instantly surged into the old man's arm, causing him to feel a tingling sensation.
"For a blind person to have achieved this much is already quite impressive."
Xu Qing's voice rang in the old man's ears.
The old man found his hand empty; the Maiden Sword had been snatched away by Xu Qing, and the power that filled his aged body vanished with it.
Chapter 200 The Idea of Recruiting Experts and Building a Power
The moment the Maiden's Sword was taken away, the old man's withered fingers clenched tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white from the force.
