Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

This was the case when he attacked Bei Mingzi before, and it is the same now when he faces Chi Songzi and Xiaoyaozi.

It would have been fine if they hadn't made a move, but once they did, their true strength was immediately revealed.

"A member of the Yin-Yang School?"

This is also the norm when Taoists and Yin-Yang Schools clash. These two schools are very familiar with each other, sharing the same roots and origins. Many of their techniques may produce very similar effects. However, as long as one understands the methods used by the other, one can clearly determine the other's origin.

"You Yin-Yang School people are quite fast!"

Chisongzi is quite old, but he has a rather fiery temper.

Otherwise, in the original story, it would have been impossible for him to die the following year after losing the Miaotai Sword Viewing competition.

It was because he was too proud. A person who had been in charge of Xueji three times in a row had long been extremely proud. Once such a person was defeated, his Dao heart was shattered and he could hardly accept the fact.

Similarly, due to pride, even though the Yin-Yang School has grown stronger in recent years, Chishongzi has never taken them seriously. In his view, they are nothing more than a group of heretics who have abandoned the righteous path and gone astray.

The appearance of this extraordinary treasure in Louguan, whether it falls into the hands of the Heavenly Sect or the Human Sect, is an internal matter for Taoism.

The Yin-Yang School wants a piece of the pie? Don't even think about it!

The snow cleared and the sword was suddenly drawn.

A sharp sword light appeared, instantly shattering the combined attack of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.

Chisongzi's attack was different from Beimingzi's calm and collected demeanor; his attack was like a thunderclap from the heavens, incredibly swift and fierce.

In an instant, the Yin-Yang technique was broken, and then the sword light was reflected in the eyes of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.

Their faces turned deathly pale in an instant.

When Chisongzi made his move, it was a deadly strike.

In an instant, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were prepared to give everything, even if it meant mutual destruction.

Just then, a suction force came from behind them, like threads, pulling at their bodies.

This pull caused them to avoid the area covered by the sword light, and then they disappeared directly into the vast fog.

But in Chishongzi's eyes, there were other Yin-Yang School masters hidden in this vast fog.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly and chose to plunge directly into it.

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyaozi raised an eyebrow but did not back down.

Although the two sects of Heaven and Man have different philosophies, they will never tolerate each other when competing.

To yield for a moment would mean being outmatched, which would be a desecration of their long-held beliefs.

Even though the Human Sect has suffered repeated defeats at the Miaotai Sword Viewing Competition over the years, they have never been discouraged. Instead, they firmly believe that they will definitely win next time.

Therefore, when faced with Chishongzi plunging into the fog, he chose to follow closely behind.

Following Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi, the other elders of the Tianren Sect also entered the mist without hesitation.

The fog was so thick that once inside, the Taoists found it difficult to even breathe.

This level of primordial energy is truly rare in the world.

I just don't know what kind of treasure has appeared in the world.

Chisongzi took the lead and quickly arrived at the blurry firelight.

He saw two figures guarding the edge, the Yin-Yang School members whose attacks he had previously thwarted. But what caught his attention even more was another figure standing beside the furnace, a man holding a sword.

The sword shone with an unpredictable light, and seemed to have many faint runes.

As the runes flickered, the primordial energy of heaven and earth also moved accordingly.

"Is it a sword?"

Chisongzi was slightly taken aback.

Then, his gaze became fervent. The Heavenly and Human Sects both embody the Dao through swords, and naturally, they also have a pursuit of famous swords. Apart from the Daoist ritual weapon "Snow Clearing," the Heavenly Sect also has a famous sword called "Autumn Dragon." Now, since the sword in the hands of this person who is suspected to be from the Yin-Yang School has appeared in the vicinity of Louguan, it must be related to their Daoist ancestors.

As is widely known, Louguan is the place where Yin Xi, the Taoist patriarch, built a thatched tower. It was here that Yin Xi predicted the whereabouts of the Taoist patriarch, which led to the preaching ceremony on Guanmiao Terrace, the creation of the five thousand words of Tao Te Ching, and the establishment of the Taoist school.

This sword belongs to their Taoist school, and it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of those who have gone astray, the Yin-Yang School.

"Put down that sword!"

Chisongzi spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Chisongzi's words, Xu Qing, who was standing beside the stove, smiled strangely.

He knew that forging swords in Zhongnan Mountain would attract the attention of the Taoists.

However, I didn't expect that this commotion would be even bigger than I imagined.

His second meeting with the Taoists took place under these circumstances.

However, he did not immediately try to explain the misunderstanding, even in the face of Chishongzi's reprimand.

He said calmly, "Want this sword? Come and take it yourself!"

Holding the Snow Clearing Blade, Chisongzi charged forward.

As Xue Ji swung his sword, the mist immediately dissipated, and a bright sword light shot towards Xu Qing's location.

Xu Qing's expression remained unchanged. He simply held the new sword in his hand and gently swung it. A mighty gale arose, turning into a storm, and fiercely met Chi Songzi's sword light.

One of the special effects of this sword is the ability to summon wind!

When the sword was drawn, a fierce wind arose, and its momentum was immense.

Chapter 277 With a wave of his hand, he defeated the Heavenly and Human Sects!

A fierce wind, carrying the solidified primordial energy of heaven and earth, crashed into the snow-cleared sword light like a white, furious dragon.

Chisongzi felt a jolt in his wrist, and the seemingly fierce yet indestructible sword energy was easily shattered by the gale. The aftershock caused him to stagger backward half a step.

The dense fog was completely swept away at the eye of the storm, and the area within a few dozen feet suddenly opened up. The crimson light of the furnace illuminated Xu Qing's tall figure. The sword in his hand was ancient and solemn, and a sense of reverence emanated from it.

Combined with the power unleashed by Xu Qing's casual flick of his wrist earlier.

The power of this sword is self-evident.

"What a powerful sword!"

Witnessing all this, Xiaoyaozi sighed inwardly, and a desire to seize the sword arose in his heart.

If this sword is an ancient Taoist sword, and it was only because these Yin-Yang School people appeared in this world and were baptized by the furnace fire, then the Taoists absolutely cannot give up this sword.

Whether it's the Heavenly Sect or the Human Sect, both are part of Taoism.

In other words, he himself was qualified to compete for this sword.

As for Xiaoyaozi, he was determined to win.

It wasn't that he was greedy, but rather that after becoming the leader of the Human Sect, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of defeating the Heavenly Sect at the Myriad Platform Sword Viewing.

Besides Xueji, Tianzong also possesses the Qiuli Sword.

In contrast, the Human Sect, though possessing many swords, lacked any that could rival those two swords.

If he were to obtain this sword, it might change many things.

However, doubts soon arose in Xiaoyaozi's mind.

Yin-Yang School techniques are mostly based on the harmony of Yin and Yang and the operation of the Five Elements. When Shao Siming made his move earlier, he revealed his background. However, Xu Qing's move did not reveal these characteristics. Instead, it stirred up a strong wind and carried a hint of Taoist wind control. Is the person in front of us really a member of the Yin-Yang School?

But he had no time to think it over. Chisongzi had already made his move, and if the Human Sect retreated, they would be at a disadvantage.

With a light tap of his toes, Xiaoyaozi transformed into a pale blue phantom. It was the "Free and Easy Wandering" movement technique, a unique skill of the Human Sect created by the eccentric Zhuang Zhou over a hundred years ago. In a ethereal and agile manner, he had already approached Xu Qing's side.

Although the longsword in his hand was not a Taoist treasure like Xue Ji's, it was still a rare and precious weapon. The sword light flowed upwards like water, and the sword moves seemed gentle, but in fact they contained seventy-two variations. Every turn was aimed at Xu Qing's vital points.

Xu Qing remained expressionless. Facing Xiaoyaozi's successive attacks, he put his left hand behind his back and casually swung his new sword in his right hand. The spine of the sword lightly struck Xiaoyaozi's blade with perfect precision. With a clear ring, Xiaoyaozi felt a dense yet irresistible force coming through the sword, and his sword move, which was about to change, was instantly interrupted.

At the same time, Xu Qing slightly twisted his wrist, and the sword drew a perfect arc in front of him. The gale gathered again, turning into invisible wind blades, which blocked all the successive sword lights that Chi Songzi followed.

Chisongzi's eyes were stern.

From the moment Xu Qing made his move, he had already realized that the person in front of him was extremely powerful.

This made him wonder, "When did the Yin-Yang School produce such a figure?"

"Could he be Donghuang Taiyi?"

The leader of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi, is always depicted with a mask covering his face. To the members of the Yin-Yang School, the leader is incredibly mysterious. Similarly, to outsiders, he is even more mysterious. Even Chisongzi, the leader of the Tianzong School, does not know the other party's true appearance.

At this moment, the appearance of such a master who seems to be from the Yin-Yang School inevitably led Chishongzi to make such a speculation.

Only Donghuang Taiyi was able to calmly block his and Xiaoyaozi's attacks.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Chisongzi swung his Snowfall Sword, and a fierce wind and snow seemed to rise between heaven and earth, instantly becoming extremely cold. All the wind and snow rushed towards Xu Qing's location, intending to freeze him.

Although Taoists are skilled in swordsmanship, their knowledge extends far beyond swordsmanship.

Strictly speaking, their swordsmanship should actually be divided into two parts.

Swordsmanship and magic!

Swordsmanship is a general term encompassing both sword techniques and magical arts.

Using magic to control swordsmanship.

"Not bad!"

Feeling the chill sweeping in from all directions, Xu Qing spoke softly, it was unclear whether he was praising Chi Songzi or the Snow Clearing Sword in his hand.

The wind and snow howled in, the cold air almost freezing into ice, and the stones on the ground were covered with a layer of white frost. However, Xu Qing seemed to be surrounded by an invisible barrier, and the wind and snow were swept away by the gale as soon as they reached within three feet.

With a slight tremor of his ancient longsword, the runes on its blade swirled, drawing upon the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) to form a warm current that collided head-on with Chishongzi's cold technique.

With a sizzling sound, the wind and snow melted instantly, turning into a sky full of water mist, and the chilling aura didn't even stir his clothes.

Chisongzi remained unfazed, brandishing his sword once more. The misty water was transformed into streams of light, which he manipulated to launch a second attack on Xu Qing.

The ultimate martial art of the Heavenly Sect, the autumn waters of ten thousand rivers!

The water mist within three feet became Chisongzi's means of attack. The flowing water was all-pervasive, and in an instant, it invaded the invisible barrier surrounding Xu Qing's body. However, in the next instant, control of the water was taken away.

Xu Qing reached out with his left hand, which was behind his back, and forcefully manipulated the flowing water.
