Chapter 97 The Herbalist is Charming (Ninety-Four)

"If I'm not mistaken, this 'Seven Swords Technique' has already been perfected!"

"This is incredible! How old is he? He looks to be in his early twenties at most! The Sword Saint said long ago that he would take in someone unparalleled in the world to inherit his swordsmanship. Who would have thought that he would actually take in such a gifted disciple? The young are truly formidable, and he lives up to the reputation of the Sword Saint!"

The Sword Master, who was sitting below Meng Chang, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and forced a smile, saying, "No, no, the disciples of Sect Leader Tu and Sect Leader Qiu are both talented martial artists!"

Meng Chang picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "There are more and more heroes in our martial arts world. If the Sword Saint is willing to teach them a few things, it would be an honor for them."

The people nearby nodded in agreement. They hadn't seen the Sword Master in action for many years, and they didn't know how much his martial arts skills had improved.

"Not to mention guiding the younger generation, we also look forward to sparring with the Sword Master!"

Meng Chang smiled and said, "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've competed with a sword master. How about we have a competition and let the younger generation know what's going on?"

The Sword Master's palms were sweating. Wouldn't a duel reveal him? He laughed heartily and quickly excused himself by saying that the main task now was to select a new leader and that a duel wasn't urgent.

The Sword Master looked at the people on the stage, feeling uneasy, fearing that their identities would be exposed in the next second.

Didn't they say the Sword Master had no successor before his death? How come someone still knows the Seven Swords Technique?

If that person pointed out to his face that he was not a sword master, how would he refute it? The "Seven Swords Techniques" in his hand was obtained from Song Yasheng. It only had the first three levels, not the last six. What he practiced was just a fancy trick, and it would be exposed in a competition.

He wouldn't survive the tournament, would he? He was really hoping for some kind of accident during the competition. Swords and knives have no eyes, and it would be great if that person died unexpectedly!

Li Li saw that the Sword Master was forcing the issue and was being vague in his words, and looked at Meng Yi in confusion.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, just to scare you. Do you really think it's so easy to pretend to be someone else?

The third round is a two-on-two competition, with six players competing in the final three.

The further it went on, the more excited everyone became.

All six candidates had supporters. Even Meng Yi, who had disguised himself as Richard, had people shouting "Richard! Richard!"

Among the six, there was a Hanshui Sect disciple, Meng Chang's eldest disciple and Meng Yi's senior brother, Kuang Yi; one was Qin An, the eldest disciple of the Qianji Pavilion's leader, who was in love with Murong Xing; and one, Qi Letian, a man from no sect or faction, had long been a renowned figure in the martial arts world. He was already in his thirties, his beard covering half his face, giving him the look of someone in his forties. Perhaps due to his long career, he didn't pay much attention to his appearance, but his demeanor was free and unrestrained.

The other three were Meng Yi, Leng Yu, and Murong Feng, who used the alias Richard.

Everyone was guessing who would make it to the top three, and there was a constant stream of people placing bets.

Li Li also ran to join in the fun and spent two taels of silver to bet that Meng Yi, Leng Yu and Murong Feng would make it to the top three.

Originally, she wanted to choose the older brother with a vicissitudes of life, as he looked good in martial arts and reliable. But thinking about Murong Feng's good luck, a well-known person in the original book, and the fact that he gave her many gifts, it would be inappropriate not to choose him!

Fortunately, Li Li made the right bet.

Qin An versus Leng Yu, Kuang Yi versus Murong Feng, Qi Letian versus Meng Yi.

Murong Feng stabbed Kuang Yi's right shoulder with a sword. Kuang Yi subconsciously dodged, but it turned out to be just a feint. Murong Feng kicked him away and pointed the sword at his throat.

"Brother Kuang, please forgive me."

"Kuang lost. I wish Mr. Murong good luck in the future."

Murong Feng smiled apologetically. He had accidentally learned from a conversation between Meng Yi and Kuang Yi many years ago that when Kuang Yi was a child, he went to the back mountain and his right shoulder was bitten by a tiger. The injury was so serious that it left a chronic disease, so he would pay special attention to his right shoulder.

Leng Yu knocked Qin An out of the ring with one palm, winked and smiled at Murong Xing below, and Murong Xing lowered her head shyly.

Meng Yi defeated Qi Letian, who laughed loudly and said that he had enjoyed the fight today and would definitely fight again tomorrow.

After the three winners were announced on the stage, Li Li went to get back the money he had won. Instead of placing any more bets, he returned to his residence.
