Chapter 368 The Murder Weapon of Man: Tushan Sword
"Even if the Great Jing Dynasty had planned this all along, they have walked right into a trap!"
"They can't take the key to the Martial God Temple or the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill with them!"
Li Wanji's voice slowly rose.
"Hahaha, well said, you really understand me. Whether it's the key to the Martial God Temple or the Three Elements Taiyi Pill, I, the Holy Son, am determined to have them!" Jin Xiaokai laughed heartily. "Come on, want a drink?"
"No!" Li Wanji closed his eyes. "The hunt is about to begin, I can't drink!"
"Fine...you're always so...disappointing!" Jin Xiaokai curled his lip, looking completely unconcerned. "What a pity, most people in the martial arts world just think it's an ordinary key to a treasure vault. Tsk tsk...ridiculous!"
That's just how Li Wanji is; he's long been used to it.
……
At this moment, almost all the big shots in the underworld in Jinling shared the same thoughts as Jin Xiaokai.
Who wouldn't want the key to the Martial God Temple and the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill?
Human nature is inherently greedy.
However, the conflicts in the martial arts world are all cunning and ruthless, especially among the big shots who have made a name for themselves in the martial arts world. They are not just brutes; they are masters of deception and treachery!
Therefore, at this stage, everyone is still observing and will not make a move rashly!
Although Jia Daoshi is currently in the eye of the storm, he is not the most crucial link.
Therefore, neither the imperial court's secret forces, nor the top forces of Liufa Heavenly Palace, Violet Holy Sect, Demon Sword Palace, Yuansheng Path, Shadow Gate, and so on, made any move!
Their goal is what belongs to the Northern King of Dajing!
The city of Jinling is now completely surrounded, and no one can leave!
People can't leave.
The things must be left behind!
……
Jia Daoshi stood on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
Turning around to look at the tightly packed gangsters around him, whose faces showed fear and confusion but who still refused to back down an inch, Jia Daoshi remained calm.
He knew perfectly well what these江湖人 (jianghu people) in front of him were up to.
Why didn't Qing Manchao help his disciple avenge his disciple?
Did he think he had a powerful backer?
That's definitely not the case!
A top figure like Qing Manchao is definitely not someone who can be easily taken action in the martial arts world.
He was able to secretly come to Jinling with his disciples, so there must be other masters of the same level who also came to Jinling.
Mo Ruya, the master of the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves, is in Jinling right now.
There are rules in the martial arts world.
If Qingmanchao makes a move, the current delicate balance will definitely be broken!
When all the hidden big shots make their move, the situation will completely spiral out of control!
Another reason is that they can't bring themselves to lose face or protect their reputation.
Over the years, Qingmanchao has become the Grand Tutor of the Kushan Empire.
What was the purpose of a man from the Central Plains working so hard in the Kushan Empire?
So that one day we can take control of the Central Plains!
Therefore, Qingmanchao needs to establish a persona for himself!
Maintain your image as someone who is principled and willing to befriend people in the martial arts world!
Therefore, for the sake of his image, Qingmanchao decided to temporarily step down!
In addition, this was, after all, the heartland of the Great Jing Dynasty, and he was wary of the hidden forces of the Great Jing court.
Qingmanchao never imagined that all of this was actually within Jia Daoshi's expectations.
After all, no matter how shrewd people are in this era, they can't compare to a soul that has been nurtured by modern society.
……
"Jia Daoshi, if this is your trump card, then I'm a little disappointed..."
Feng Shengxue, standing in the crowd, stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the scene before him.
He also guessed that the person behind Ye Huchan might be Qing Manchao.
If Jia Daoshi could remain so calm in the face of a master like Qing Manchao, it would indicate that the Imperial City Guard or the imperial court had indeed made arrangements in Jinling!
This is just speculation.
Although there is a very high probability that this will definitely happen.
Feng Shengxue still wanted to give Jia Daoshi a try.
In the Battle of Songcheng, Jia Daoshi killed over a hundred martial arts heroes, five Vajra Realm experts, and Duanjian Buyi, a Heavenly Gang expert from Liufa Tiangong, with a single sword strike.
This is what Feng Shengxue most wants to know.
Jia Daoshi didn't draw his sword just now!
Feng Shengxue wanted to know just how fast and powerful Jia Daoshi's sword was!
"Grandpa Sword Master!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Feng Shengxue spoke, I understood what she meant.
After agreeing, the old man named Grandpa Jian Kui carried a long black sword in his hand.
The longsword was entirely black, and its scabbard was inlaid with many mysterious runes!
"Could this sword be the legendary Tushan Sword?"
"Tushan Sword? Isn't that the weapon of Wang Zanghai, who is ranked twenty-sixth on the Fengyun Ranking?"
"The scabbard bears ancient runes from the Nine Heavens; this is the Tu Shan Sword!"
Upon seeing the long sword in Jian Kui's hand, the expressions of many martial arts practitioners around him changed slightly!
Anyone who has made a name for themselves in the martial arts world knows about the Tushan Sword!
It is said that this sword was discovered in an ancient tomb!
This sword is very unique, as it is engraved with the legendary Nine Heavens Runes and has a very precious small luminous pearl that glows at night!
Wang Zanghai's ranking of twenty-sixth on the list of influential figures is largely due to the Tu Shan Sword.
Wang Zanghai was a genius swordsman. After obtaining this sword, he actually comprehended a sword technique from the runes on the scabbard!
It was with this sword technique that he, with his late-stage Vajra Realm cultivation, challenged several top talents on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, and jumped to the 26th place!
But this influential figure suddenly disappeared just before the Chinese New Year last year!
He has never been seen in the martial arts world again!
“Last year during the Spring Festival, I went to the market to buy New Year's goods. A young man tried to cut in line to buy the pig I had my eye on. I wasn't happy about it, so I killed it. This kid is a man of principle; he uses a very fine sword, so I just picked it up and used it.” Sword Master smiled faintly, his tone as simple and casual as if he had just killed a chicken!
"Mr. Jia, please enlighten me."
Sword Master stopped seven steps away from Jia Daoshi and, without waiting for Jia Daoshi to express his opinion, immediately began to draw his sword!
He drew his sword very slowly, extremely slowly.
It wasn't just inch by inch, it was like drawing the sword bit by bit!
Watching him draw his sword gives one a drowsy feeling!
Slowly, a glimmer of light, like the water of an autumn pool, appeared at the junction of the hilt and the scabbard!
next second!
"Qiang!"
The Tu Shan Sword suddenly sprang out!
The gleaming sword blade resembled a long, rainbow-like ribbon!
Like the sword energy under the moonlight, like the morning dew, or like a mysterious beauty, exuding a mysterious magic that makes it impossible to look away once your gaze falls upon it!
Clearly, this is a fine sword, but it is also a deadly weapon!
