Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

However, driven by his grand ambitions, Ying Zheng ultimately chose to destroy the State of Chu.

The area around Fu Chu's residence was heavily guarded. Although Ying Zheng treated him well, Fu Chu was still the king of Chu, and it was inevitable that some people might use his status to their advantage. Therefore, while enjoying wealth and honor, this deposed king also completely lost his freedom.

However, these seemingly formidable guards were no match for Xu Qing.

To this day, Xu Qing truly reigns supreme in this world, which is also the key to his ability to forcibly unlock the secrets of the "Yellow Stone Heavenly Book" and understand its hidden mysteries. In martial arts, he has not only mastered various techniques to the highest level, but has also transcended ordinary martial arts. He is also extremely accomplished in the art of refining the spirit, or rather, his strongest trump card is refining the spirit.

The system space is a world where the flow of time is completely different from reality. Forging a sword in that world means that no matter how much time has passed, it is only a moment in reality. The key to maintaining time in that world is Xu Qing's spiritual power.

Xu Qing's ability to quickly master various martial arts techniques is due not only to his numerical superiority through the accumulation of sword contracts, but also to his exceptionally strong spirit.

With powerful mental strength, one can easily master any martial art, using the spirit as a guide to leverage vital energy.

Easily bypassing the numerous guards, Xu Qing arrived in front of Fu Chu.

In order to minimize the commotion, Xu Qing did not directly stab Fu Chu to death after drawing the "King-Slaying Sword," but only pointed at him from a distance.

Fu Chu was filled with sorrow. After all, he was the king of a fallen kingdom, and even if he were still alive, it would be difficult for him to have a good mood.

Just then, he suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed.

As he fell to the ground, his vital energy was completely drained away and absorbed by the "King-Slaying Sword" from a distance. In a short moment, King Fuchu of Chu's face became withered, and he looked as if he had aged twenty or thirty years. As for his life, it ended not long after he fell to the ground.

Afterwards, Xu Qing quietly left the place.

Some time passed after he left before someone finally discovered Fu Chu's current situation.

As the last king of the Chu state, King Fuchu was the first king to be brought to Xianyang alive. He was a rare animal and was closely monitored. His every move was watched. When he suddenly stopped moving for a long time, it immediately attracted attention.

These people only intended to see what Fu Chu was up to, but they found that Fu Chu was dead.

Undoubtedly, this matter caused a great stir behind the scenes.

A king died quietly in Xianyang.

Moreover, no one noticed anything amiss, the murderer left no clues whatsoever, and even Fu Chu's body was unmarked.

This is truly bizarre to the extreme.

Doesn't this mean that a murderer can kill anyone if they want to?

check!

This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

The Court of Justice, the secret police, and the Shadow Guards were all investigated.

However, it was clear that Xu Qing had done everything cleanly, leaving no clues whatsoever.

After dealing with Fu Chu, Xu Qing quietly returned to the Yin Yang School.

Luosheng Hall is a place where Yin and Yang meet.

This place is extremely yin, yet it contains earth fire, so it can be said to have yang within yin. However, it is not an auspicious place. On the contrary, the earth fire is violent and contains a lot of evil energy, making it a very ominous place.

However, for Xu Qing, this place was an excellent place to forge swords.

While Donghuang Taiyi was still alive, he forged two fourth-tier swords, one righteous and one evil, in one go.

The Flame Demon Sword had already fallen back into Xu Qing's hands after he killed Donghuang Taiyi.

He still hasn't decided whether to reforge the sword or find a new owner.

Today, Xu Qing came to Luo Shengtang because he wanted to use the Yin and Yang energies of this sword to temper its edge.

With a flick of his wrist, an ancient sword appeared in Xu Qing's hand—the very "King-Slaying Sword."

When this sword was forged, it was a third-tier sword. However, after it successively killed the King of Han, the King of Zhao, the King of Wei, and now the King of Chu, this sword absorbed the souls and blood of these kings who carried "luck". Now its spirituality has become more and more intense, and it has now reached the fourth tier.

Because the sword needs to be refined to an advanced level.

Chapter 360 Xu Qing bestows a sword

The death of King Fu Chu was destined to remain an unsolved mystery.

Xu Qing's tempering of the sword's edge was also an extremely smooth process.

Having reached his current level, sword forging is a piece of cake for him. Not to mention tempering swords, even forging a fourth-order sword from scratch is an easy task.

Let's return to the sword itself.

It is indeed necessary to improve the strength of the Yin-Yang School.

External equipment is also a part of strength.

After all, he had previously forged a fourth-tier sword for each of the Taoist Heaven and Man sects. Now that he had taken over the Yin-Yang school, there was no reason for the sword he forged for the Yin-Yang school to be inferior to that for the Taoist school.

Of course, he had also forged swords for many people in the Yin-Yang School.

When Xu Fu left Linzi, he gave the other party a sword, laying some groundwork for future plans, hoping to take it back someday.

Of course, in the end it seems that nothing came of it.

For example, Xinghun and Zinu each possess a sword forged by Xu Qing, but these swords are only third-tier swords. In the past, a third-tier sword would have been enough to rank among the top swords and be famous throughout the world, but for Xu Qing now, the third tier is not the limit.

With nothing else to do, Xu Qing had this idea after he finished tempering the "King-Slaying Sword".

He hadn't decided what to do with the Flame Demon Sword before, but people's thoughts can change. Once such thoughts arose, how to deal with the Flame Demon Sword was no longer a problem.

Xu Qing is a very straightforward person, and he immediately seized the opportunity to pull out the Flame Demon Sword.

This sword is ominous!

This is because when Xu Qing forged this sword, he never intended to create a good one. He harbored malicious intentions and wanted to use this sword to disturb Donghuang Taiyi's mind. Therefore, he added many negative "characteristics" to it. If Donghuang Taiyi wielded this sword, there would naturally be no problem.

But if it were someone else, this sword wouldn't be so suitable.

Therefore, Xu Qing decided to slightly reforge the sword.

It's not about eliminating the negative characteristics, but rather about adding more characteristics to complement them.

The interplay of Yin and Yang is called the Dao.

The Flame Demon Sword contains only pure Yin energy. Although it can release flames, the fire is extremely cold, being pure Yin fire, which is very bad.

Xu Qing spent a considerable amount of time modifying the sword.

He spent all his time in Rashomon, claiming to be in seclusion.

Of course, there really wasn't anything outside of his life that required his attention.

On this day, Xu Qing emerged from seclusion and the first thing he did was summon Consort Yan.

"Sect Leader!"

Yan Fei lowered her head and bowed slightly, revealing her graceful curves.

"No need for such formalities!"

Xu Qing considers herself to be a fairly easy-going person.

Unlike Donghuang Taiyi, who used to enjoy creating a personality cult, he never considered himself a god.

"As the Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School, you have done your part, even if you haven't achieved anything. I'm summoning you today to reward you handsomely!" Xu Qing said directly to Yan Fei, getting straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei's eyes flashed with surprise.

Xu Qing flipped his palm, and a sword appeared in his hand.

Compared to the once pitch-black sword, the reforged Flame Demon Sword now features some crimson patterns that resemble bird feathers, adding a touch of divinity to the sword.

Although the appearance has changed somewhat, overall the changes are not significant, and Yanfei still recognized the sword.

"Flame Demon Sword!"

She had witnessed the sword's creation at Rashomon.

Since its creation, this sword has been regarded as a treasure by Donghuang Taiyi. After Donghuang Taiyi's death, the sword disappeared completely. Yanfei knew that the sword should have fallen into Xu Qing's hands, which was quite reasonable, since the sword itself was forged by Xu Qing.

To her surprise, Xu Qing was actually going to give her the sword.

“The Golden Crow Yang Soul Technique you cultivate is based on fire, and this sword is also of the fire element, so it is quite compatible with you.” Xu Qing saw the surprise in Yan Fei’s eyes and explained to her softly, “...This sword contains an ominous aura. In order to make it easier for you to use, I have reforged it recently.”

"At present, although the ominous power within it still exists, it cannot interfere with the sword master himself."

"Naturally, the sword's name also needs to be changed!"

Xu Qing paused for a moment, then revealed the sword's new name.

"Fire God!"

After saying that, he casually tossed the sword, now renamed, through the air and flew towards Yan Fei.

Yan Fei reached out and caught the longsword.

After acquiring the longsword, it did not feel as cold as I had imagined; on the contrary, it was incredibly hot.

This gave her a new understanding of the sword and made her realize what Xu Qing meant by reforging. Although she had never touched the sword up close before, Donghuang Taiyi cherished it greatly when he was alive. From a distance, she could sense that the sword was extremely cold.

But the sword that had now fallen into his hands was incredibly hot.

In addition, she also understood why someone as powerful as Donghuang Taiyi valued this sword so much back then.

The reason is that, upon grasping this sword, one can sense that it contains extremely powerful energy, as if a casual swing could destroy everything.

"Flame God..." Yan Fei murmured softly. The two extremely similar names represented that this sword had turned from the demonic path to the divine path.

Xu Qing, who created this sword, became increasingly revered in Yan Fei's eyes.

However, having received this reward for no reason, how should one repay the sect leader?

Yanfei fell into deep thought.

Xu Qing's kindness can never be repaid, it truly can never be repaid!

"The sword has been given to you. Now, depart!"

Xu Qing then said something to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei came to her senses, immediately bowed to Xu Qing, turned around, and left.

As they reached the main gate, Xu Qing's voice rang out again, "By the way, tell the Moon Goddess to come here too."

Yan Fei paused, then replied softly, "Yes!"

With Yan Fei's departure, only Xu Qing remained in the empty hall, but he did not wait long.
