Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 74 A fish slipped through the net
the other side.

After leaving the back mountain of Guangmingding, Shen Pingan and his companions headed southwest.

With no obstructions along the way, they reached the forest southwest of Yuanyue Gorge in just a quarter of an hour.

Just as Shen Qingshan and Qu Feiyan were moving the branches that had been used to block the carriage, Qu Feiyan asked casually, "Pang Ban was killed by the young master. I'm afraid the Demon Master Palace won't let it go. We have to be on guard from now on."

Shen Qingshan, standing aside, said nonchalantly, "So what if they won't give up? A hundred years ago, the nations had a rule that Heavenly Man Realm warriors couldn't freely travel to the other four nations."

"With my cousin's strength, as long as it's not Meng Chixing who has reached the Heavenly Man Realm, the rest can be defeated with just one sword."

Looking across the five countries, there are warriors at the Heavenly Realm stationed in the imperial palaces to prevent warriors from causing chaos.

But the problem is that it is impossible for all the warriors in the world who have reached the Heavenly Man Realm to enter the palace and serve the court.

In order to prevent other countries from gathering warriors at the Heavenly Realm to assassinate them, the royal families of various countries reached a unified agreement hundreds of years ago.

All warriors in the Heavenly Realm of any country are not allowed to use force in other countries.

Violators will be punished for treason, and the other four countries will also send their masters in the Heavenly Realm to surround and kill them.

This agreement has lasted for hundreds of years and no one dares to break it.

Among all the countries today, the ones with the weakest forces in the martial arts world are the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. In the past hundred years, many geniuses have emerged, and they have surpassed the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.

The Demon Master Palace has a special status in the Yuan Dynasty and is closely connected with the imperial court.

Meng Chixing is a warrior at the celestial realm. Unless he is planning to wipe out the entire Demon Master Palace, it is impossible for him to risk the regulations set by the five-nation court and forcibly break into the Ming Dynasty to attack Shen Ping'an.

This is also the reason why Shen Pingan dared to kill Pang Ban directly before.

"By the way, Young Master, the matter between the six major sects and Bright Summit isn't over yet. If we leave now, will there be any problems with the Third Young Master?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Shen Pingan shook his head and said, "With Zhang Wuji here, the six major sects and the Ming Cult shouldn't be able to fight each other again."

Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right. Zhang Wuji is the grand-disciple of Zhang Sanfeng, and the grandson of the White-browed Eagle King of the Ming Cult. Given the protective nature of Wudang, there's no way they'd allow the six major sects to harm Zhang Wuji. With this relationship, they probably won't continue the fight."

Shen Qingshan was stunned and asked, "Are we just going to let the people who died from the six major sects go?"

Qu Feiyan glanced at Shen Qingshan and responded, "How could I possibly let it go? It just prevented the Ming Cult from being destroyed, so there must be some benefits."

Shen Pingan smiled and said, "That's right. No matter how unique Zhang Wuji's identity is, it is ultimately only related to Wudang and the Ming Cult."

"Wudang's reputation alone cannot suppress the other five major sects."

"Although the Ming Cult has been saved this time, the martial arts and wealth within it will probably be lost."

Qu Feiyan curled her lips in disdain and said, "You just look down on these famous and upright people. If it's for the sake of benefits, just say it directly. Why do you have to talk about some great principles?"

To this, Shen Pingan responded: "If it weren't for this great cause, do you think, apart from Wudang and Northern Shaolin, how many people could protect the good things we got from the Ming Cult this time?"

"Ok?"

Qu Feiyan was stunned at first, then immediately realized what Shen Pingan meant.

Seeing Qu Feiyan's reaction, Shen Pingan continued, "This time, the six major sects besieged Guangmingding. Not counting Wudang and Northern Shaolin, the elite disciples brought by the other four sects were almost all killed or wounded."

"It's called a second-grade force, but in reality, apart from the Guiyuan realm warriors of each faction, its overall strength is not much stronger than some third-grade forces."

"Forces like Emei and Kongtong are not without external enemies."

"If these forces take advantage of the opportunity to attack, then not only will we not gain any benefits from the Ming Cult, but we will also have a problem in preserving our own century-old foundation."

"Bringing Wudang and Northern Shaolin together is not only for the purpose of attacking the Ming Cult, but also to intimidate other villains by using the names of Wudang and Northern Shaolin."

Qu Feiyan was puzzled and said, "But Wudang Sect and Northern Shaolin originally joined forces with the four major sects for profit. If the other four sects really had problems, would Wudang Sect and Northern Shaolin really intervene?"

Shen Pingan said calmly: "Not necessarily, but who dares to make this bet?"

This question suddenly left Qu Feiyan speechless.

Just as Shen Pingan said, no one dared to make this bet.

After all, they are facing the formidable powers like Wudang Sect and Northern Shaolin. If they lose the bet and provoke retaliation from both sides, how many forces in the Ming Dynasty can withstand it?
A moment later, as the branches around the two carriages were cleared away, the two carriages began to head towards Tai'an City.

Inside the carriage, Shen Pingan sat cross-legged, with the Yixi sword placed on his knees and his hands on the Yixi sword.

The true energy in his body circulated rapidly, and beads of sweat began to gather on Shen Ping'an's forehead.

At this moment, if Zhu Wusi could sense the circulation route of the true qi in Shen Ping'an's body, he would definitely be able to judge that Shen Ping'an was actually using the method of refining power in "The Great Art of Absorbing Qi" to refine his own original true qi.

As the original true qi was continuously refined, the energy extracted through the "Absorbing Energy Technique" began to flow through Shen Ping'an's hands into the Yixi Sword.

In an instant, the entire Yixi sword, including the handle and scabbard, began to emit a faint white light.

When editing and forging the Yixi Sword, the reason why Shen Pingan chose the cold marrow black jade ore as the forging material was not only because the cold marrow black jade ore was the top material for making swords, but also because the cold marrow black jade ore had the same function as the evil emperor's relic, the treasure of the Great Sui Dynasty's Demon Sect.

It can contain the warrior's skills and seal them inside.

The only difference is that in addition to sealing the martial artist's skills, the Evil Emperor's relics can also store martial arts mixed with essence, energy and spirit into the Evil Emperor's relics.

Moreover, the cold marrow black jade ore used in Shen Ping'an's Yixi Sword was limited, and it could not contain the power of all the previous evil emperors like the evil emperor's relic. At most, it could only accommodate the power of a Tianren realm warrior.

But for Shen Pingan, it was enough.

After an incense stick of time, Shen Ping'an's face had become a little paler.

Drops of sweat kept sliding down his cheeks.

As his cultivation level had fallen to the first level of Tongmai Realm, the last bit of refined power was sealed by Shen Pingan in the Yixi Sword.

At this point, Shen Ping'an let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

Shen Ping'an's face was pale, but when his eyes fell on the Yixi Sword, looking at the fluorescent Yixi Sword, Shen Ping'an couldn't help but raise a smile on his face.

Although Shen Ping'an had refined his power with the "Absorbing Power Technique", he could only retain one out of twenty of his ninth level Tiangang Realm power after using the cultivation card.

But for Shen Pingan, these energies are enough to allow Shen Pingan's cultivation to rise by two or even three levels.

And Shen Ping'an had just checked it.

After refining his own skills with the "Absorbing Power Method", these skills became mellow and gentle, without any problems at all.

In this regard, Shen Pingan can basically be sure that there is no problem in refining his own power using the method of "Absorbing Power".

The reason why the defect of absorbing the power of others and then being unable to break through through their own cultivation occurs is most likely because there are some hidden dangers in the process of "absorbing the power of others".

After all, when the "Power Absorbing Technique" absorbs other people's power, it will also absorb the enemy's energy and spirit.

It is not like Shen Ping'an who refined it on his own, simply refining his own skills.

After a while, when the usage time limit of the cultivation level card ended, the meridians in Shen Ping'an's body, which had been closed again due to the refinement of his skills, were quickly opened again.

As his meridians were opened up, Shen Pingan himself recovered to the fifth level of Guiyuan Realm.

Seeing this, Shen Pingan did not delay and picked up the Yixi Sword again. He used his own true qi to introduce the energy just stored in the Yixi Sword into his body.

After an incense stick of time, a slight wave emerged from Shen Ping'an's body, and Shen Ping'an's cultivation successfully entered the sixth level of Guiyuan Realm.

At the same time, in the carriage driven by Shen Qingshan in the back, Yan Shisan, who had been closing his eyes to control the murderous intent in his body, opened his eyes, feeling the fluctuations of the sixth level of Guiyuan Realm coming from the carriage in front, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, this is the first time Yan Shisan has met someone like Shen Pingan in all these years.

Normally, he suppresses his cultivation to the first level of Guiyuan Realm, and from time to time, he emits an aura that is extremely similar to that of a warrior breaking through.

If he hadn't known that Shen Ping'an's cultivation had already entered the Tiangang realm, Yan Shisan would even have suspected that Shen Ping'an had made several breakthroughs along the way.

"Why do you have to suppress your cultivation to the first level of the Guiyuan Realm for no reason? Or, how will suppressing your cultivation to the first level of the Guiyuan Realm help improve your strength?"

After pondering for a while, Yan Shisan suddenly mobilized the true energy in his body.

As the true energy in Yan Shisan's body circulated, the true energy fluctuations in Yan Shisan's body also fell at an extremely fast speed.

Tiangang realm eighth level.

Seventh level of Tiangang realm

It was not until his cultivation level was suppressed to the first level of Guiyuan Realm that Yan Shisan was able to calm the true qi in his body.

But after feeling it carefully for a while, Yan Shisan did not feel any special changes after suppressing his cultivation.

After frowning, Yan Shisan did not cancel his suppression of his cultivation, but closed his eyes and continued to practice and comprehend the fifteenth sword.

at the same time.

To the west of Guangmingding, a figure was sitting cross-legged beside a ditch.

If Shen Ping'an and his companions were here, they would definitely be able to discover that the person moving quickly through the forest was none other than Jiumozhi, who was previously on Guangmingding.

At this moment, Jiumozhi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, Jiumozhi's face was as pale as if it was covered with a layer of white powder.

He took out a bottle of pills from his bosom, tilted his head back and swallowed more than a dozen pills in succession. Then, Jiumozhi tapped the acupuncture points in his abdomen several times with his fingers, and pressed his palms around his abdomen.

After a while, Jiumozhi vomited another stream of blood from his mouth.

But the strange thing is that this mouthful of blood was clearly vomited out by Jiumozhi.

But blood shot out like an arrow, leaving a five-foot-long sword mark on the other side of the ditch.

As the last wisp of sword energy in his body was forced out, Jiumozhi suddenly felt a lot lighter.

"Fortunately, I have practiced the 'Three Element Turtle Breathing Method' in the 'Great Sun Sutra' before. Otherwise, I would have to die in this Great Ming Kingdom."

Thinking back to Yan Shisan's deadly sword strike at that time, Jiumozhi still felt a chill in his heart.

After thinking about it, Jiumozhi endured the injuries on his body, and quickly fled in the opposite direction of Guangmingding with a tap of his toes.

Having said that, it’s better to name the protagonist’s sword “Ichiyu Sword”. Wushuang does sound a bit ordinary!
