Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

If his personal guards were to attack, there was nothing they couldn't take down, given that one person couldn't fly or teleport.

That's what he was thinking at that moment.

This is a credit that's practically given away for free, so we can't let it go.

……

"The Yi River!"

Looking at the great river that stretched out in front of him, Xu Qing let out a sigh.

The Yi River flows on and on for thousands of years.

Perhaps no one would have thought that what truly made this river famous was Gao Jianli's line, "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return."

"Does this river have any unusual significance for you?" Jing Ni asked Xu Qing.

"It doesn't have any special significance."

Xu Qing shook his head.

"After crossing this river and traveling a short distance further, we will be within the territory of the State of Zhao."

He still didn't offer much explanation.

Jingni naturally saw this. Having spent a long time by Xu Qing's side, she knew that Xu Qing harbored many secrets. He seemed to know all sorts of secrets in the world, but whenever you tried to ask him, it was difficult to get an answer from Xu Qing.

Jingni did not press Xu Qing's attitude.

Perhaps one day, when Xu Qing wants to tell me those things, she will naturally tell me.

After crossing the Yi River, they traveled for a while longer.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps reached the ears of the four.

"It seems we're in trouble."

Xu Qing looked in the direction from which the footsteps came, his gaze instantly turning sharp.

Under the watchful eyes of Xu Qing and the other three.

A troop of soldiers soon came into their view.

When the soldier in charge saw Xu Qing and his three companions, especially Xu Qing, a fanatical glint immediately appeared in his eyes.

"It's really you!"

"Traitor Xu Qing!"

After Xu Qing committed a serious crime in the Yan Kingdom and escaped unscathed.

His appearance, depicted by the best painters in the Yan Kingdom, has spread far and wide.

It must be said that the artist in this world is quite skilled. The Xu Qing he painted looks like he was photographed. While not exactly lifelike, the resemblance is at least 90%.

Xu Qing wasn't angry.

On the contrary, he was glad that these people hadn't painted him as an ugly monster.

"It seems it's not us who's in trouble, but you."

Upon hearing the words of the newcomers, Jingni knew that these people had come for Xu Qing. She immediately smiled and looked at Xu Qing with great interest.

However, her triumph was short-lived, for she soon heard the leader of the soldiers say, "Kill the men, leave the women alive!"

As for what they wanted to do by killing the man and leaving the woman alive.

I understand everything I understand.

Xu Qing was Yan's most wanted criminal, so there was no need for him to stay.

The women, however, were different. All three women were beautiful, and two of them were twin sisters. For these soldiers who had been stationed on the border for a long time and had never had any meat, one can imagine how tempting they were.

Of course, the leading soldier's thought was that by presenting these three women to the general, he could receive a reward from him.

But in any case, there's definitely no need for the man to stay.

After all, he is a wanted criminal with a notorious reputation. Forcibly keeping him alive would only bring unnecessary losses.

As for the woman, she looks delicate and weak, so capturing her wouldn't take much effort.

Under the command of the leader, in an instant, many soldiers simultaneously approached Xu Qing and his three companions.

Jingni's smile disappeared after the leading soldier spoke next.

Xu Qing noticed this and couldn't help but ask Jing Ni, "Why aren't you laughing anymore?"

Jing Ni rolled her eyes at Xu Qing and sighed, "How can you laugh when so many people are watching you!"

"Why can't you laugh?" Xu Qing asked in return.

"Although they outnumber us, they're all just chickens and dogs, utterly vulnerable and pose no threat whatsoever." Xu Qing spoke calmly, revealing his disdain for these people, and then added, "If that doesn't work, I'll show you!"

As he spoke, a sword appeared in his hand.

It was the "Mo Wen Sword," which had not been used for a long time.

Although this sword is only a third-tier sword, it has an extraordinary significance for Xu Qing, as it was forged during his escape from the Yan Kingdom.

This sword has been stained with countless drops of blood during the escape.

Doing good deeds without asking for reward.

Faced with the encirclement and attack of Yan soldiers once again, Xu Qing remembered the sword and took it out of the furnace space.

The next instant, without saying a word, he chose to swing his sword.

Many soldiers heading towards Xu Qing felt a blur before their eyes, and in a daze, they seemed to see a silvery-white thread.

The silvery-white threads vanished in the next instant.

Is it just my imagination?

The soldiers murmured softly.

They carried out their orders and continued onward.

The foot had barely moved when, in the next instant...

The clicking sounds continued incessantly.

Upon hearing the sound, they instinctively turned their heads to look, only to discover that the long spear in their hands had broken, the break being perfectly clean.

The next instant, they found that their perspective had shifted.

It actually fell down along with the broken spear.

"what happened?"

This is the last thought for many people.

Bang bang bang!

One by one, human heads fell to the ground, and blood gushed out like a fountain, blooming into blood flowers in mid-air.

If this scene had only happened to one person at the same time, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

Unfortunately, everyone who came towards Xu Qing ended up with their heads rolling to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, their bodies also fell to the ground, landing next to their heads.

Even in death, the eyes of those heads remained wide open, as if they had not felt the pain of death.

This scene was grotesque and terrifying.

However, neither Xu Qing, who made the move, nor Jing Ni, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Bai behind him, all had normal expressions.

Jing Ni was born into the Luo Wang organization and had witnessed countless deaths; her hands were stained with countless amounts of blood.

As for Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, as the Lesser Master of Fate of the Yin-Yang School, their concepts of life and death are extremely vague.

In the Yin-Yang school, death is also a form of life, just as Yin and Yang are opposites and can transform into each other.

Of course, I wasn't frightened by the grotesque scene before me.

However, Xu Qing's strength still shocked the three of them.

With just a casual sword strike, at least several dozen people in front of him were all killed.

Most importantly, Xu Qing's sword light was precisely controlled to reach the leader.

"What did you say earlier?"

Xu Qing, sword in hand, looked at the person who had given the orders earlier from a distance.

It can only be said that this person was also someone who valued his life. After giving orders to his subordinates, he hid in the back, wanting to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

But some people, if they're not particularly beautiful, shouldn't have too high expectations.

With so few people, trying to take down Xu Qing is simply wishful thinking.

Or is it that the Yan Kingdom is hiding the truth? Don't they know that when nearly a thousand people chased after Xu Qing, they were all slaughtered by him?

What use can such a small number of people possibly be?

"Spare me! Spare my life!"

Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, the centurion immediately trembled and begged Xu Qing for mercy.

From arrogance and domineering to utter cowardice, all it takes is one sword strike.

"Your life is worthless, and I have no reason to let you go!"

As he spoke, Xu Qing unleashed another sword strike.

It was as if he kept this person around only to exchange a few words with them.

The sword flashed.

The centurion's head also fell off, and he died.

"Today's troubles are probably not going to end so easily."

Xu Qing looked into the distance, where scouts were rushing by.

Clearly, there were eyewitnesses to what happened here.

Or rather, the appearance of this group of soldiers in front of Xu Qing was not a coincidence, but rather someone had been keeping an eye on Xu Qing for a long time.
