The Way of the Sword

Chapter 1420: The Way of the Sword

"Grandpa Tu, where are we going?"

"Go visit the strongest swordsman in the world."

Dozens of days later, they arrived at the Yongjiang River. On both sides of the river were beautiful and magnificent mountains and rivers. There were fishing boats coming and going on the river, drifting in the waves.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. The fishing boats headed for the shore to avoid the scorching sun.

The two men stood on the river. Qin Mu had empty hands and couldn't help wondering, this time the butcher didn't ask him to forge a knife. Did that mean he didn't need to use a knife this time?

Besides, isn’t the strongest swordsman in the world the butcher himself?

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from Jiang'an, laughing: "Mr. Qin, are you here in Yankang to rely on your parents again?"

Qin Mu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young general covered in divine armor and carrying a magic sword on the river bank. The young general suddenly stepped into the air and leaped up. Thousands of sword lights flashed under his feet, carrying him towards him!

Swoosh——

The thousands of sword lights under his feet suddenly gathered together and turned into a magic sword, swimming like a dragon, slashing towards Qin Mu!

Qin Mu raised his hand, gently pinched his index and middle fingers to catch the knife light, cut off the knife light with a snap, and said lightly: "Zhe Huali, long time no see."

Zhe Huali landed on the river surface with a bang. The river surface exploded, splashing water all over Qin Mu. He laughed and said, "You are very happy in heaven. You are Mu Tianzun. Your reputation is not scary. But every time you come back, you shamelessly rely on your parents! What are you relying on this time?"

The demon sword Zhe Huali, who has been responsible for guarding a sacred city on the western front of Yankang, the Tianyuan sacred city at the source of the Yongjiang River, has also become a remarkable general.

Qin Mu's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Living off your parents? You guys are living off your parents every day in Yankang, and I come back to live off my parents once in a while, and then you blame me..."

Zhe Huali smiled and said, "Yankang's Taoist magic is no longer what it was when you left. Today, there are so many people and masters. I am really afraid that you will fall behind."

Although he said so, his eyes were shining brightly and he was eager to try. The demon sword Dragon Fang behind him also made bursts of low roars like a demon dragon. He seemed very excited and wanted to fight immediately and teach Qin Mu a lesson.

Back then, when Qin Mu taught Zhe Huali a lesson, the Dragon Tooth Knife was also used against him more than once.

This magic sword is psychic. It is the tooth of the Eastern Emperor Qinglong that turned into a demon. It is very powerful and holds a grudge.

After a while, there was a sudden flash of sword light in the sky again. There was a layer of sword light, one level of heaven, a total of eighteen levels.

The sword light from the eighteenth heaven poured down and headed straight for Qin Mu in Jiang's heart!

Qin Mu seemed to be in endless motion, and suddenly a sword energy rose up into the sky above his head, transforming into a sword palace in heaven. His sword spirit stood in the middle of the Nine Prisons Platform, gathering the energy into a sword, and slashed through the eighteen levels of sword heaven.

when--

There was a loud noise in the air, and sword lights scattered all over the sky. Suddenly, all the sword lights were retracted and turned into a divine sword that bounced upwards.

From above, an arm reached out and grabbed the magic sword, and a one-armed figure landed on the river surface with a bang. The splashing river water was like a knife, slashing in all directions with flying jade.

Zhe Huali stood on the river with his arms folded, motionless. Sword lights flashed in front and behind him, cutting off all the sword lights transformed from the river water.

The one-armed god was none other than the divine sword master Luo Wushuang.

Luo Wushuang saluted the butcher and Zhe Huali. The butcher saluted in return, but Zhe Huali lowered his hand and said, "Greetings, Brother Luo."

He severed his master-disciple relationship with Luo Wushuang, and Luo Wushuang expelled him from the sect, so he could only call Luo Wushuang "Brother Daoist", but because he was once a disciple, he was half a level lower than him.

Luo Wushuang saluted Qin Mu and said, "Qin Tyrant Body."

He did not call Qin Mu "Tianzun", but called Qin Mu "Ba Ti". Although the grudge between the two had been resolved, and Luo Wushuang had also walked out of the shackles of his own sword, after all, the two had a feud in the past, and Luo Wushuang had a grudge in his heart, so he called him Qin Ba Ti.

"Divine Sword Luo." Qin Mu returned the greeting.

Divine Sword Luo is the name Qin Mu gave to Luo Wushuang. They had been through life and death together in Taixu and fought side by side. Qin Mu admired his sword skills and character very much.

Especially when Luo Wushuang drew his sword and killed Madam Yuanmu and the Empress' clones Yun Chuxiu and Lian Huahun, he was so cruel and merciless. No beauty was more important than the sword. He was the most ruthless person in Qin Mu's heart!

Luo Wushuang said: "Tian Dao, everyone here today is a sword expert from Yankang, can we start now?"

The butcher shook his head and said, "Not yet. We still have to wait for one more person. I sent someone to invite that person several months ago."

He took out a small boat from his gluttonous bag. The boat was filled with jars and cans filled with the best wine.

Zhe Huali couldn't help but be moved, and said, "Didn't that person go to Wuyou Township? Will he come too?"

He glanced at Qin Mu and continued, "I heard that the man owed a lot to Mu Tianzun and owed Yankang too much. He swore that he would never step into Yankang in this life, so he simply hid in Wuyou Township."

The butcher laughed and said, "He has been here for a long time. When the Heavenly Army occupied Taixu and blocked the Void Bridge, he broke out of the siege and sneaked into Yankang. In addition to him, many other people entered Yankang through the three rooms of the Void Bridge and hid there. He did not enter Yankang due to his oath and was active in the northern land. But the oath sworn by a drunkard is equivalent to farting."

He smiled slightly, his voice was loud and long, and he said leisurely: "My wine is extraordinary. It is the fine wine stolen by the God of Thieves from the gods of the various heavens. Among them is the fine wine offered by the Heavenly Court to the Emperor of Heaven. It is brewed by the number one wine god in the Heavenly Court!"

"Of course I want to drink the wine of the God of Bacchus in Heaven!"

A loud laugh was heard in the sky. Among the Four Heavenly Kings under Kaihuang, the Heavenly King of Hades, Tian Shu, came over with his arms wide open, carrying the Dique Divine Sword. He was drunk and laughed loudly: "The Heavenly Sword knows me well and knows that I like this. To be honest, I didn't dare to step into Yankang because of my oath, but I got myself drunk before I came here, and after drinking a few jars of horse urine, all the bullshit oaths are useless!"

He landed on the boat, reached out and picked up a jar of wine, raised his head and drank it all in one breath, praising: "This is the Buddha wine brewed in the Brahma Heaven of the Buddhist world, it has a strong taste of the essence of the Buddha!"

He opened another jar of wine, drank it down, and praised: "The wine of the Taoist Qingyuntian, after drinking it, there are all kinds of strange magic runes in the head! This jar is the wine of the god of wine, dedicated to the Emperor of Heaven, it is different!"

The fine wines from all the heavens have their own flavors.

Soon Tian Shu was drunk, his eyes were blurry, but he kept drinking.

"Is this drunkard okay?" Luo Wushuang frowned.

Tian Shu glanced at him and chuckled, "The number one divine sword in heaven has too much of the air of a craftsman, and does not have the demeanor of a great sword master. My sword can cut through souls and take away spirits, which is beyond your reach. You must drink to unleash its maximum power."

Luo Wushuang snorted and said calmly: "I am not as good as you in realm, and in terms of swordsmanship, you are far behind."

Qin Mu looked at these old friends with passion surging in his heart. Some of these people were his elders, some were once his enemies, and some were his friends. Now all of them were gathered together.

"Mu'er, your sword path, the first level, knocking on the South Heaven Gate, is to show the heroism and pride of the sword wielder. The second level is the sword of law, to establish laws and eliminate the grievances of the people. The third level is the sword of protection, with the will of unity."

The butcher looked at Qin Mu and said in a deep voice: "This is all I can teach you. Your three sword techniques have already explained the fifteenth level of my sword. From now on, you have to walk the road alone."

Qin Mu felt warm in his heart. No matter how many difficulties he faced outside or how much criticism and blame he encountered, as long as he returned here, back to Yankang, he would always be the child of the nine old people in the Disabled Village.

When he returns here, the butchers and the others will do their best to help and enlighten him, without any selfish motives and without any refusal!

"You already understand the courage, rules, and responsibility required for the way of the sword. What remains is the tempering and strength."

The butcher said: "The easiest way to increase strength is to compete with sword masters. Zhe Huali is a sword master. He entered the sword path with the sword, and the sword path combines the weirdness of the monster race with the grandeur of the sword path. Luo Wushuang is the number one sword in heaven and a master of the sword. His sword skills are unique in terms of ingenuity and rules. At the same time, he also combines the courage and strength of the sword to the sky. Even if it is a celestial being, he dares to kill it!"

"The sword of Heavenly King Tian Shu is the most powerful sword in the world."

The drunkard Tian Shu chuckled when he heard this.

The butcher continued, "The divine sword is indestructible, and its name is Emperor Que. When Tian Shu is drunk, he is the emperor of swords, and his sword can cut off the horns of Tu Bo! His sword contains the spirit of the Kaihuang era! And my sword..."

The butcher slowly drew his sword and said calmly, "It's the Heavenly Sword. This Heavenly Sword is not the sword of Heaven, but it is a sword that strikes the sky. My sword path does not depend on Heaven, nor on the great way of heaven and earth. My sword is the spirit of refusal to obey and the spirit of unyielding in people's hearts!"

He swung his sword, and the energy in the sword was like a long streak of silk in the sky, rising from the center of the river into the sky and splitting the sky!

"The sword nourishes the spirit. You must first defeat us before you can possibly defeat the Zuting God Slaying Platform!"

The butcher said in a deep voice: "Mu'er, are you ready?"

Zhe Huali turned over and leaped. The next moment, he stood high in the sky, his movements were strange and devilish. He said with a smile, "Thanks to Heavenly Blade for looking up to me and letting me teach this kid. I will definitely not let Heavenly Blade down!"

Although he was arrogant and unruly, he had great respect for the butcher.

There are two people in the world today whom he respects. One is the divine swordsman Luo Wushuang. Luo Wushuang cherishes talents and knows that his swordsmanship is that of a single-arm. Zhe Huali has both arms intact. If he learns from him, he will either have his arms cut off like other disciples, or he will have to walk his own path.

Therefore, Luo Wushuang sent him to the demon clan's Fu Riluo, and asked him to worship Fu Riluo as his master. His demeanor and courage are admirable.

The second person that Zhe Huali respects is Tian Dao.

Zhe Huali has been trying to comprehend the way of the sword but has never been able to enter the door. His sword skills were learned from Luo Wushuang. Luo Wushuang's sword skills are very strict and require one to remain calm, which has always restricted his temperament.

Fu Ri Luo is a powerful demon with strange and evil skills. Although he has learned some of them, he is unable to master them.

Until he met the butcher and saw the butcher's heavenly sword, at a glance, he suddenly became enlightened and stepped into the door of the sword.

Although the butcher did not accept him as his apprentice, he regarded the butcher as his other master and respected him accordingly.

Tian Shu laughed loudly, smashed all the empty jars, and sprayed a mouthful of wine on the Emperor's Palace with his sword: "Thank you for your respect, Tiandao. Today I will make friends with you through swords! Mu Tianzun, do you have horns?"

Qin Mu was filled with heroic spirit and said with a smile: "Although I don't have horns, I have a strong heart."

"Stick your head over here!" Tian Shu swung his knife.

Luo Wushuang held the sword in one arm, holding the moon in his arms, and said faintly: "Qin Ba Ti, you are good at swordsmanship, but you are far inferior to me in the way of the sword."

Qin Mu laughed loudly, and a stream of vital energy flowed into Qingming, transforming into a long sword. He bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, fellow Taoists!"
