Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

Seemingly sensing Xinghun's movements, the sword flying in mid-air trembled slightly.

The black energy surged, causing the Rainbow Sword, which was stuck in the ground, to release its own sword energy in response.

One hot, one cold; one righteous, one evil; the two sword energies clashed violently in the center of the hall.

But Xinghun ignored it and went straight for the sword flying in mid-air, as if he wanted to seize it.

Although the fourth-tier sword possesses a spirit, this spirit is not like the soul of an ordinary person. It can only be considered a kind of spirituality or a spiritual essence. Even though this sword resists the Star Soul, if the Star Soul really wants to seize it, with its strength, it can still take it into its hands.

Just then, Xu Qing made his move.

"This sword does not belong to you!"

Xu Qing raised his hand, and the Long Rainbow Sword, which he had stuck in the ground, immediately emitted a soft sound, detached from the ground, and flew into his hand.

A casual slash.

A crimson sword aura pierced the air. Xinghun realized that someone was preventing him from seizing the sword and immediately flew into a rage. He raised his hands in front of him, and purple energy blades immediately emerged, which was the technique of gathering energy into blades.

Two purple flame blades extended and then slashed out in a crisscross pattern.

boom!!

Faced with the crimson sword energy, they shattered instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Xinghun's body was blown away.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Xu Qing sent Xinghun flying. Then, he swung the Long Rainbow Sword, sending its sword energy toward the flamboyant black sword in mid-air.

"You better behave yourself!"

Chapter 288 A Thought Between God and Demon, Dwelling in Yin and Yang

The Long Rainbow Sword is extremely yang and strong, and its sword energy is also righteous and awe-inspiring. It is completely opposite in nature to the black sword that flies in the sky.

Xu Qing originally wanted to forge a fire-attribute sword to match the Frost Sword, but perhaps because he was forging two swords at the same time, and the two swords were born in the same place and the same forging furnace, their properties became mutually opposed and became each other's nemesis.

Just like this Rashomon, where yin and yang intersect, and life and death merge.

The two swords were born here, perfectly matching the advantageous location of this place.

In terms of sheer power, the two swords are roughly equal, but the Rainbow Sword is now under Xu Qing's control.

Under his control, the power unleashed by the Rainbow Sword instantly overwhelmed the black sword in the sky.

All the power of the black sword was withdrawn, and its light dimmed as a result. Then it fell from mid-air. Just as it was about to hit the ground, Xu Qing's empty left hand reached out and the sword flew into his hand.

Xu Qing glanced at the black sword in his hand but said nothing.

He suddenly looked in a certain direction and said, "You've been watching the show for so long, aren't you coming out?"

"Or are you planning to stay cowardly and determined not to meet me?"

After these words were spread...

The people in Luosheng Hall couldn't help but shift their gaze and look in the direction Xu Qing was looking.

At first, it was a sliver of starlight.

Immediately afterwards, countless starlight converged, and within the starlight, a figure slowly materialized.

This move bears some resemblance to the Taoist Tianzong's "harmony with the world," but while harmony with the world is understated and breezy, this move is dazzlingly brilliant.

"Your Excellency Donghuang!"

Upon seeing this figure, Yan Fei spoke in a low voice to show respect.

Yun Zhongjun, Da Siming, Shao Siming, and the others had finally managed to break free from the negative emotions brought on by the black sword when they saw this figure again, and they quickly lowered their heads.

"Lord Donghuang!"

Yun Zhongjun and Da Siming spoke one after the other.

Shao Siming, in black and white, hesitated for a moment before finally turning her gaze to Xu Qing.

As long as I don't see you, I don't have to grovel before you.

Shao Siming's use of black and white tactics was actually somewhat of a cover-up.

However, Donghuang Taiyi did not hold them accountable. To Donghuang Taiyi, whether it was Shao Siming or the three lineage masters above her, they were just positions and names. As long as there were suitable people, these people could be sacrificed and abandoned.

They are all replaceable.

So there's no need to worry about it too much.

The only person he cared about was Xu Qing.

"What a fine sword!"

Donghuang Taiyi's gaze fell on the two swords in Xu Qing's hands. It was unclear which one he was praising, or whether he was saying that both swords were good.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing raised the Long Rainbow Sword in his hand and said, "This sword is certainly a fine sword!"

"However, this sword does not belong to you!"

Donghuang Taiyi was not angry when he heard this.

He is different from Xinghun.

Xinghun had previously been tempted by the Black Sword, which stirred his inner demonic sword, and he intended to possess the Black Sword. However, he overlooked the fact that these swords were forged by Xu Qing.

In front of Xu Qing, with his strength, trying to seize the sword was simply a joke.

Donghuang Taiyi was well aware of Xu Qing's strength and had no intention of taking the sword.

He came here simply because he realized that many members of the Yin-Yang School had come here, and it would be unreasonable for him not to show up.

"But this broken sword!"

At that moment, Xu Qing's tone changed again.

He suddenly raised the black sword in his left hand, piercing the air and flying towards Donghuang Taiyi.

Seeing this, all the members of the Yin-Yang School in Luosheng Hall were stunned.

Especially Xinghun, as the power of the black sword receded, the demonic thoughts in his heart gradually subsided.

But deep down, a sliver of greed for the black sword still lingered.

He hadn't expected that Xu Qing would so casually discard the black sword.

The black sword pierced the air and flew to Donghuang Taiyi's front. Finally, it stopped within a foot of Donghuang Taiyi, as Donghuang Taiyi used his powerful skills to imprison its existence.

"This sword is yours!"

Xu Qing continued speaking.

Consider this compensation for borrowing your Yin-Yang School's Rashomon Hall to forge the sword!

Hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi had no more doubts.

Xu Qing wanted to use the earth fire in Luosheng Hall to forge a sword, and he agreed to this, but with one condition.

That means Xu Qing also has to forge a sword for him.

Whether the sword was good or bad, or when it could be forged, Donghuang Taiyi didn't actually have any requirements.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing finished forging the sword so quickly.

Donghuang Taiyi reached out and grasped the black sword in front of him.

Upon discovering that someone was trying to grasp it, the black sword immediately became restless, and waves of negative emotions surged from the sword, attempting to corrupt Donghuang Taiyi and influence him.

Despair, anger, greed...

If it were an ordinary person, when affected by this sword, these negative emotions buried deep in their heart would be stirred up, thus causing them to fall into the demonic path.

But Donghuang Taiyi was different. He was as hard as iron, considered himself a god, and could even put aside the grudge against Xu Qing for injuring him that day, and take the initiative to show goodwill to Xu Qing. Such a person would naturally not be affected by these negative emotions.

In his view, the emotional power emanating from the sword was actually a good refining agent, which could better cleanse his mind and elevate his mental cultivation to a higher level.

Because Xu Qing called the sword a "bad sword," Donghuang Taiyi didn't utter any more words of praise like "good sword." Instead, he asked Xu Qing, "What is the name of this sword?"

He meant that since the sword had just been forged, he wouldn't mind giving it a name if it didn't already have one.

Beneath Luosheng Hall, the autumn orchids live on forever!

For example, "Chang Sheng" (meaning "longevity") is a good sword name.

Donghuang Taiyi was unaware that the sword Ying Zheng carried with him was also forged by Xu Qing, and its name was also Changsheng (Eternal Life).

Just then, he heard Xu Qing say, "Flame Demon, that's its name!"

Unlike the Changhong Sword, which has a reference point, Xu Qing didn't design this sword in much detail, so its name was also quite hasty.

It is a demonic sword.

It absorbs the death energy from the earth's fire and generates fire poison.

Therefore, it was directly named "Flame Demon".

As for letting Donghuang Taiyi name it?

The right to name is very important. Apart from having Six-Fingered Black Knight name the White Rainbow Sword, Xu Qing usually names the swords himself.

Whether the name sounds good or not is another matter entirely.

"Flame Demon..." Donghuang Taiyi murmured the name softly. Although it was not a name he had given it, he was still very satisfied with the name "Demon in the Sword".

Because, the difference between God and Demon lies in a single thought.

This sword is named after a demon, but isn't it also a divine sword?

……

The matter of Luoshengtang forging swords thus came to an end.

Although many people from the Yin-Yang School came, there were also figures like Yun Zhongjun Xu Fu, who had been severely harmed by Xu Qing in the past.

But let alone the fact that Xu Qing easily manipulated Xu Fu in the past, even now, with Donghuang Taiyi personally intervening, even if Xu Fu harbored resentment and knew the truth about certain things in Qi, he dared not retaliate against Xu Qing in the slightest.

Even when Xu Qing was talking to Donghuang Taiyi, he shrank back like a turtle, afraid that Xu Qing would notice his presence.

He had come this way because of the strange occurrence at Rashomon, which he didn't understand.

If he had known that Xu Qing was behind the commotion in Luosheng Hall, he would never have come here, even if it meant being beaten to death.
