My Sword Has a Way

Chapter 56: Encountering the Northern Territory Sword Cultivator Again

The young man frowned and said calmly: "I want to go to the bathroom, Grandpa Qin, please wait a moment."

The old man hurriedly followed, and said with a sinister smile: "I am very quick, just one sentence."

The boy shook his head: "Do you want to hurt me?"

The old man smiled slightly when he heard this: "How could this old slave harm you? If I wanted to harm you, why would I rescue you from Longyang City?"

The young man still shook his head: "You are a demon cultivator, right?"

The old man chuckled and said, "You are indeed very smart, but your intelligence is limited. Since you know my identity, I will no longer hide it. I am a demon cultivator from the Western Region Heavenly Demon Sect."

Jianya, next to the small courtyard.

The young man stood with a sword in hand, his face covered with sweat. Today was the first day of the new year, and Xu Zhian practiced sword more seriously than ever before.

"You've made rapid progress. You've even developed a hint of swordsmanship."

The boy turned his head and saw a young girl standing in front of the window, looking at him.

Xu Zhian put away his sword and returned to the yard. He looked at the girl and said, "Miss Jiang, are you up?"

The girl nodded, then frowned: "Your black sword is a little strange, can you show it to me?"

Xu Zhian thought about it and handed the black sword to the girl.

The girl took the black sword, her expression suddenly changed, and her brows furrowed even tighter.

"Miss Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Zhian quickly asked the girl, and the girl immediately handed the black sword to Xu Zhian and said, "I'm fine. Where did you get this sword?"

Xu Zhian hesitated, and the girl said quickly, "Sorry, I was too abrupt."

Xu Zhian smiled slightly: "It's nothing, actually. This sword is my natal flying sword, and it was given to me by my senior brother."

The girl nodded and said, "Your senior brother is so kind to you. For a pure sword cultivator, it is really difficult to obtain a natal flying sword and cultivate wisdom. Not only does it require opportunity, but also a lot of precious resources. I just checked your flying sword, it seems to have a high intelligence, higher than my Zhishui sword."

The young man smiled and said, "I have nurtured it for fifteen years. It is like a brother to me."

The girl nodded and said seriously, "You have been born with a natal flying sword. You are much luckier than the pure sword cultivators in the world. Some sword cultivators cannot even have a natal flying sword in their entire lives. I heard that your senior brother is more powerful than the great sword saint. Could he be a sword immortal?"

Xu Zhian smiled awkwardly: "I don't know if he is a sword immortal, but I think he is very powerful, and I will be as powerful as him in the future."

After hearing this, the girl curled her lips and said, "Where is your master?"

Xu Zhian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have never been to the sect, and I don't know where it is."

The girl was a little stunned and said, "If it weren't for this black sword, I would have thought you met a liar."

Xu Zhian smiled helplessly and said nothing.

The girl asked again: "What is the name of your flying sword?"

The boy shook his head: "I call it the Black Sword."

The girl said with some disdain: "Black Sword? What about Mo Feng? Can't you choose a better name?"

Xu Zhian replied: "Is that Mo Feng?"

Jiang Ying said seriously: "Why don't I pick one?"

Xu Zhian nodded: "Tell me about it."

The girl thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a good name, so she said impatiently: "Forget it, I'll tell you when I think of one."

Xu Zhian smiled and said nothing more.

The sun gradually rose higher, but the temperature on Xianren Peak remained unchanged.

Xu Zhian followed a trail of footprints to the top of the cliff, but the footprints suddenly stopped and disappeared at the top of the cliff.

This footprint was left by Lin Jianyi this morning, but why did his footprint suddenly disappear here? Did he jump to the bottom of the cliff?

Although Lin Jianyi's actions in the morning were very strange, the young man still didn't believe that he would jump into the bottomless abyss of the sword cliff. He just thought that his flying sword went to the other side of the cliff.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhian suddenly had a sense of enlightenment. On the other side of Jianya, he seemed to have never heard Lin Jianyi mention it, nor did he hear Miss Jiang say any related news. It seemed that there must be another world.

So Xu Zhian stopped daydreaming and started practicing the sword skills in the sword fight.

Now Xu Zhian's sword skills have reached the peak of the second level, and he is only one step away from the third level.

The sword skill is a chopping style that has been practiced tens of thousands of times. Although it is just a simple chop, practice makes perfect. After Xu Zhian's practice and practice, the chopping style can now chop out five layers of sword light at a time. The sword lights are connected and superimposed on each other. The power is comparable to the damage of sword energy.

Xu Zhian made five quick chops with ease, and instantly the sword energy near the Sword Cliff became chaotic. Five sword beams were suddenly carved into the cliff hundreds of feet away, and snowflakes and gravel flew everywhere.

The young man looked at the sword with great satisfaction, and then he said softly: "From now on, you will be called Five-Star Sword Mane."

After that, he swung the sword a hundred times before Xu Zhian changed his moves.

Xu Zhian held the sword horizontally in front of him and swung it out. A ray of sunset exploded on the opposite cliff. The young man looked at the stone wall across from him that was covered with sword marks and couldn't help but smile.

As the days passed, the cliff opposite was covered with traces of the boy's sword swinging. At first it was just a shallow mark, but now it can be clearly engraved on the cliff.

After finishing his sword practice, the young man was about to return to the yard when he saw wisps of black smoke rising from the distant valley, as if something was burning. It was particularly noticeable against the white mountains.

Xu Zhian frowned and quietly walked towards the place where the black smoke was coming from.

Half an hour later, Xu Zhian saw two sword cultivators in green robes squatting by the stream in the distance, burning firewood.

"Do you think Senior Brother Wu really didn't lie to us? Is there really a magic weapon of the former dragon clan at the bottom of the cliff?"

A thin young man asked the square-faced young man beside him, who thought for a moment and said, "According to what Senior Brother Wu said, there must be a dragon treasure at the bottom of the cliff. Otherwise, why would Senior Brother Wu be so persistent and still think about going to the bottom of the cliff even when he was injured?"

The thin young man continued, "Even if it's true, it's very dangerous and there's even the possibility of losing one's life. Wouldn't it be better if we waited a little longer until we all broke through to the fourth level of the Spirit Bone Realm? At that time, with Brother Wu's blue sword array talisman, wouldn't our chances of winning be even greater?"

The square-faced swordsman smiled bitterly, "Who said it wasn't true? But now that Junior Sister Li is dead, Master must be extremely furious. If we don't leave soon, I'm afraid other Senior Brothers will come and question us."

The thin swordsman said angrily, "It's all Junior Sister Li's fault for provoking that girl. Otherwise, Senior Brother Xu and Senior Sister Yin wouldn't have lost their lives."

The square-faced young man said calmly, "Okay, let's take it one step at a time. I hope it will be easier to get to the bottom of the cliff the next day."

The thin swordsman nodded repeatedly without saying anything else. At this moment, the square-faced young man frowned and quickly looked behind a stone wall: "Who is it?"
