Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

He saw a figure wearing a bronze mask appear on a nearby tree. The figure stood quietly, the mask on his face exuding a coldness, while his white robes made him look incredibly dashing.

Others might not recognize the mask, but Situ Wanli knew it all too well.

He once accompanied the mask's owner through thick and thin, experiencing countless dangers together in South Korea.

Unfortunately, he never saw the other person again after they parted ways in the State of Chu.

Of course, letters were accepted.

Not long ago, the other party sent him a letter through a clandestine channel, learning about some things about farming from him.

Situ Wanli did not expect the other party to show up at this time.

It was because of the newcomer's appearance that he couldn't say what was on the tip of his tongue, and even made a slight mistake. The first-class member of the Luo Wang (a powerful organization) opposite him immediately attacked, and an extremely sharp sword came towards him.

Situ Wanli sensed something he didn't like.

That's the smell of death!

Death was incredibly close to him.

Just then, the assassin's sword was blocked.

"Yan Ri, the foremost of the Eight Swords of Yue?"

A gentle voice sounded beside Situ Wanli, and the figure that had been standing on the tree instantly traversed a long distance to arrive beside Situ Wanli.

With a casual wave of his hand, Yan Ri's sword was immediately knocked aside, and the aftershock of the wave forced Yan Ri to create some distance to dodge.

"I'm very curious to know, what's your true identity behind that mask?"

Even though they were both wearing masks, it didn't stop Xu Qing from asking Situ Wanli's opponent questions.

"Brother..." Situ Wanli was being protected by Xu Qing. He looked frightened, but even so, he still wanted to say something to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing spoke first, his voice not very loud, but it reached Situ Wanli's ears, "Brother, don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Luo Net can't harm you in the slightest!"

Situ Wanli was on the verge of tears. What he really wanted to say was that he was prepared to surrender to Tian Meng.

But since Xu Qing had already said that, he could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"If you want to see my true face, let's see if you have the ability. But I think you should show your true face first." Yan Ri responded coldly upon hearing Xu Qing's words.

Since Xu Qing had stopped him, he decided to attack Xu Qing directly.

Chapter 297 With a wave of his hand, he defeated all his enemies!

The sword aura of the Hidden Sun suddenly surged forth, its chilling sword energy, carrying an eerie red light, bursting forth abruptly.

This is precisely the opening move of "yin prevailing over yang, and darkness obscuring the sun in the daytime".

That red light was no ordinary sword light; its color was like congealed blood, and it was extremely dazzling. As soon as it appeared, it went straight for Xu Qing's eyes, and the surrounding air seemed to be slightly distorted by the scorching red light.

Caught off guard, everyone in the arena instinctively squinted, even those several feet apart, let alone Xu Qing, who was facing him head-on.

A cold glint flashed in Yan Ri's eyes. He had calculated that the red light was enough to cause temporary blindness. With a flick of his wrist, Yan Ri raised his sword high, and the black aura swirling around the sword suddenly surged, intertwining with the remaining killing intent in the sky.

The next moment, a strange scene unfolded. The sunlight in the sky was blocked by an invisible force, and the originally bright Tomb of the Six Sages was instantly plunged into darkness, as if daytime had turned into dusk, or as if a partial solar eclipse had occurred.

"Covering up the sun and darkening the daytime," he launched the attack again. The difference was that he had used this method before when the Luo Wang organization appeared, buying time for the Luo Wang assassins and catching the farmers off guard, causing heavy casualties.

Right now, he's using this tactic specifically against Xu Qing.

Although he spoke of Xu Qing with disdain, in reality, just because Xu Qing silently blocked his attack and came to his side, Yan Ri dared not neglect Xu Qing and instead took him seriously.

The sky and earth darkened, not simply because the light had dimmed, but because the unique spatial constraints of the Sun-Concealing Sword isolated Xu Qing from his surroundings, creating a dark and enclosed space.

His figure also disappeared into the darkness.

It could be the next moment, or it might take a while.

No one knew when Yan Ri would launch an attack on Xu Qing.

Waiting is often the most frustrating thing.

If an ordinary person were trapped in this dark world, they would definitely panic, become vigilant, and then be on edge.

However, Xu Qing remained unmoved. He stood there as before, without the slightest sign of panic on his face, and didn't even blink.

The blinding red light fell into his eyes as if it were just an ordinary glimmer, failing to shake his mind in the slightest.

The surrounding darkness and spatial constraints felt more like a void to him.

He seemed to be surrounded by an invisible aura, completely isolating the strange power of the Sun-Covering Sword.

He just watched quietly as Yan Ri performed.

"The sword is good, but unfortunately, the person is not so great!"

He looked into the dark world and saw a sword, integrated into it, thrust out towards his heart.

To reiterate, if it were an ordinary person in such an environment, they might have been able to let Yan Ri succeed, since in such a short period of time, Yan Ri had used two of the Yan Ri Sword's ultimate moves, pushing the sword's characteristics to their limit.

Unfortunately, he was facing Xu Qing.

Just as the sword blade that shrouded the sun was about to reach Xu Qing, he heard that comment.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Xu Qing move. Xu Qing did not draw his sword, or rather, he was not wearing a sword. He simply raised his right hand casually, his fingertips lightly lifting, still with that nonchalant demeanor, as if he were just brushing aside a speck of dust.

"Buzz buzz!"

A sword's cry echoed, like a sword's unwilling lament. In the midst of the sword's cry, the surrounding dark world shattered instantly, and light reappeared between heaven and earth.

Because of the grand spectacle created by Yan Ri, when the light reappeared, everyone couldn't help but look towards Xu Qing and Yan Ri.

This is a battle between masked men, and it's unknown which masked man will emerge victorious.

The result was quite clear: under their watchful eyes, the Sun-Covering Sword, which could cut hair in an instant and cleave metal with a single stroke and was ranked first among the Eight Swords of Yue, was firmly held between two fingers by the figure wearing a bronze mask, unable to move an inch.

As the person involved, Yan Ri was naturally even more shocked.

When he discovered that his sword was being blocked by the opponent's two fingers, and that the killing intent and sword energy on the sword had all dissipated, he immediately exerted all his strength to activate his inner force, trying to break free from the opponent's restraint and then cut off his fingers.

No matter how hard he tried, the Sun-Covering Sword remained motionless, as if it were nailed to mid-air.

Xu Qing's fingers, though seemingly slender and weak, were like two mountains, firmly suppressing his sword and his inner strength.

"Stop struggling!"

Xu Qing said something else to Yan Ri.

The next instant, he suddenly released his two fingers.

Yan Ri thought he had found an opportunity and immediately thrust his weapon at Xu Qing without hesitation.

However, Xu Qing was faster than him.

He raised his palm and casually struck out with a palm.

Bang!

As if struck by a heavy blow, Yan Ri was sent flying through the air. At the same time, Xu Qing seized Yan Ri Sword in his hand by turning his palm into a claw.

The Sun-Covering Sword left Yan Ri's hand and flew into Xu Qing's hand.

Although he can now forge swords even more powerful than the Eight Swords of Yue, since he has already encountered this sword, he doesn't mind appreciating it.

However, it was clear that someone didn't want Xu Qing to appraise the Sun-Covering Sword.

Xu Qing had clearly shown mercy, not killing Yan Ri out of respect for the Qin state, but only severely injuring and knocking him unconscious. However, this was noticed by another top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization.

This is a provocation against the Net.

Another top-ranking official decisively took action, determined to kill Xu Qing, otherwise the situation today would take an unexpected turn.

A fierce and unparalleled sword strikes!

This sword is named Zhen Gang.

This is why Xu Qing approached Yan Ri immediately.

It wasn't just because Yan Ri attacked his good brother Situ Wanli, but also because he had already clashed with Zhen Gang when he first arrived in Xianyang.

There's not much to say about the result. Even the top-tier True Steel of the Luo Wang was defeated by Xu Qing in just a few moves.

Knowing Zhen Gang's strength, Xu Qing naturally had no interest in him.

As a result, Zhen Gang took the initiative to attack.

There was nothing more to say. Xu Qing casually swung the Yanri Sword, which he had just snatched from Yanri.

A chilling sword aura erupted, accompanied by flashes of crimson light. Zhen Gang's eyes were immediately stimulated, and he instinctively narrowed them.

A sense of horror arose in his heart.

The next instant, his body was also sent flying, and his consciousness sank, following in the footsteps of Yan Ri, and he fainted.

Naturally, the True Steel Sword in his hand also slipped from his grasp and fell into Xu Qing's hands.

Last time at the Xianyang Inn, Xu Qing failed to take Zhengang's sword.

It was because he wanted to meet Zhao Gao.

This time is different. Since the other party has taken the initiative to make a move and has bothered him, he doesn't mind charging some interest and some reward.

The question remains: the Eight Swords of Yue, masterpieces of the ancient swordsmith Ou Yezi, are eight swords integrated into one, each with its own unique features. A comprehensive analysis of these swords can reveal Ou Yezi's sword-making skills.

Even at his current level, these skills are still useful to Xu Qing.

In a short period of time, both of the top-ranking Heavenly-level warriors became Xu Qing's defeated opponents, their fates unknown.

This scene truly shocked everyone present.

"Brother, you..."

Situ Wanli was shocked. He had traveled to various countries for many years and his business network spanned the world.

Naturally, he knew a lot of information related to the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

These two assassins from the Luo Wang organization were clearly top-tier. While Brother Xu was indeed quite capable, having stirred up trouble in South Korea in the past, the speed at which he defeated these two assassins was simply too fast.

Xu Qing ignored Situ Wanli's shock, simply flipping his palm to put away the two swords. Then, his calm words reached Situ Wanli's ears, "Brother, now you can rest assured."

Situ Wanli quickly gathered his thoughts, moved closer to Xu Qing, and put on a fawning smile. "Don't worry, don't worry, with you here, I'm naturally at ease."

He had long since abandoned the idea of ​​seeking refuge with Tian Meng. With a powerful figure like Xu Qing protecting him, why should he rely on Tian Meng and be controlled by the Luo Net?
