nThe Jingxu Sword Meeting is a once-in-thirty-years event in the Dao of the Sword.

nOn a normal day, there is no shortage of sword fights, but the name of the Jingxu Sword Society, which has been passed down for a thousand years, is still very well known.

nThere are many sword lovers in the world, and many who love fame, and the Jingxu Sword Meet is a world event. Who would not want to see the sword in the stone?

n

n

nThirty years is enough time for a practitioner to learn and practise a great sword technique, and for a new crop of talent to grow up, so it is not surprising that everyone is looking forward to it.

nChi Xiaochi, dressed in her new Jing Xufeng disciple’s uniform, appeared with Yan Jinhua at the sword meeting.

nDuan Shujue has been sheltered from the world for many years and has been nourished by the spiritual springs.

nIn his previous life, Duan Shujue had seen few living creatures other than Yan Jinhua and Ye Jiming in his long life, so when he first saw this sea of people, he would have cringed and made people laugh.

n

n

nChi Xiaochi is afraid of ghosts, southern cockroaches, geese and, of all creatures, the one he is least afraid of is people.

nHe was neither curious nor evasive, but simply followed Yan Jinhua’s back, which made Yan Jinhua feel uninterested.

nHe deliberately asked, “Are you afraid?”

nChi Xiaochi’s character would have said, “Fear your mother’s legs.

n

n

nBut he is Duan Shujue, and Duan Shujue does not swear.

nSo he said softly, “We must not disgrace Brother Banquet.”

nYan Jinhua secretly laughs, really an uninteresting nerd.

nAs he spoke, the dragonet who had satirized Yan Jinhua in the original episode shone brightly: “Brother Yan, the sword meeting has not yet begun, and you have chosen a disciple?”

nBefore Yan Jinhua could say anything, Chi Xiaochi took the initiative to salute, “Greetings, Uncle.”

nHe was the fourth apprentice of Chi Yunzi, Su Yun, who was young and hard-working. After joining Jing Xufeng Chi Yunzi, he was disgusted by Yan Jinhua’s unmotivated behaviour despite his high position as the second master.

n

n

nAs soon as Duan Shujue opened his mouth, Su Yun glanced at him and frowned lightly, but did not say anything hurtful and sour like he did in his previous life.

nDuan Shujue, with his unassuming and dignified bearing, is a very different person from the lazy Yan Jinhua.

nHe poked his head in the air and couldn’t find anything wrong with it, so why should Su Yun find fault with him, he let out a “hmm” and looked at it a couple of more times, but he had a vague feeling of regret that the pearl had been cast away.

nHe asked, “You are?”

nChi Xiaochi replied, “I am Duan Shujue.”

nA few days ago, he asked Yan Jinhua to give him his name.

nAnd, not surprisingly, Yan Jinhua let him call Duan Shujue.

nSu Yun hmmed again, said nothing more, and turned away.

n

n

nAs he left, he thought that this man would be suitable to be taught by his youngest uncle, if he had not actually worshipped him.

nThe two of them have the same appearance and temperament, and it’s a waste for the uneducated Yan Jinhua to pick them up.

n…… This proves that there are not that many “brainless villains” in the world who offer to give up their heads for no good reason.

nPeople are probably just normal people in their lives who simply don’t see eye to eye with you.

nYan Jinhua, however, thinks otherwise.

nFacing Su Yun’s back, he laughed darkly and thought, “When the result of this sword meeting comes out, see if I don’t swell your face.

nIn the past few years, he had not seriously cultivated, because he knew that the original owner Yan Jinhua’s talent was limited and cultivation was useless, even with the various props redeemed by the system, cultivation had to suffer.

nBut he had patience, as long as he waited until the Jingxu Sword Meeting, he would be able to turn his life around and gain the opportunity of the Heavenly Dao.

nSo what if they were despised earlier, the more crap they are, the better, and the more crap they are, the more they will smack these people in the face in the end.

nWith this expectation, Yan Jinhua was hopeful that the Jingxu Sword Meet would be a turning point in his life.

nHe carried in his arms a precious pearl of the fixed sea, a chance that should also have belonged to Duan Shujue.

nIn the original book, the pearl was found by Duan Shujue in a broken and decaying sea mussel when he was wandering in the sea after losing his father and mother, freezing and starving.

nThis bead is capable of shifting shape and sending people anywhere.

n

n

nWhen Yan Jinhua reads the book, he is excited to see this treasure appear and speculates on how Duan Shujue will use the beads to make his mark, stealing a huge treasure and killing someone, or stealing a soft jade and entering a woman’s bedroom at night.

nHe was saved by the old Taoist, who had been travelling with him for many years, and before he left, Duan Shujue said, “I have nothing to offer in return, so I am giving him a pearl in reply, and I hope that his benefactor will accept it.

nYan Jinhua, who was looking forward to the protagonist’s antics, almost spurted out a mouthful of blood and immediately wrote a number of bad reviews.

nIs this protagonist out of his mind?

nIt’s so easy to get a good treasure, why give it to a bad old man?

nIsn’t this a waste of a good thing?

nThere are many readers who think the same way as him, and they all spray the author with bubbles in his head and abandon Wen. If he had nothing, he would have given it to his benefactor first. After all, for Duan Shujue, he might never see his benefactor again after parting with him.

nIf the author did not explain, he did, and once again he received a flood of Italian guns.

nWhat the hell? This old man won’t be coming out in the future?

nHe’s not actually backstage for the main character? Then what’s he doing out here? To deliver experience packs to the protagonist? He’s the elder NPC who gives out quests to the brave in the newbie village!

nWhat dog? Bad review!

nAt that time, Yan Jinhua was one of the main forces in the siege of the author’s army and was so impressed by this episode that soon after his arrival in this world he went to the sea where Duan Shujue had fled, and without much effort he found the mussel, took the pearl and kept it for himself.

nAll he had to do now was not to let Duan Shujue get to Shi Zhongjian before he did.

nHe had already made up his mind to follow Duan Shujue as soon as the battle began.

nDuan Shujue’s sword skills and cultivation should not be bad, so he can always resist for a while.

nBut no matter how cautious he is, he will not defend himself.

nAll he had to do was to knock him out, drag him to an unoccupied place, use the Sea-Defining Pearl to transfer the two of them directly to the vicinity of the Sword in the Stone, cut the blood and take the sword, and everything would be ready.

nWhen Chi Yunzi announced the start of the sword fight, Yan Jinhua immediately looked at Duan Shujue and before he could say anything, Duan Shujue seemed to understand his intentions and reached his right hand behind his back and drew his sword.

nThe sword is sheathed and the broken silver meanders.

nBut he was not as eager to prove his strength so that he could stand up for Yan Jinhua as he had been in his last life, instead he threw his sword in the air and stepped up on one foot, “Brother Yan, go.”

nYan Jinhua’s face changed slightly.

nWhen did Duan Shujue learn to wield a sword?

nSeeing him dumbfounded, the young man standing high above him lowered his eyes and looked at him with unironic surprise, a simple look that, in turn, pricked his body with fever: “Brother Yan, don’t you know how to imperial sword?”

nYan Jinhua : “……”

nAfter years of neglect, he couldn’t remember how to use the sword, and when he went out, he always rubbed the swords of those men and women, taking the opportunity to get closer.

nNow, Yan Jinhua could have cheekily rubbed up against Duan Shujue, but his feelings for him were different from those of the others.

nFrom God’s point of view, Yan Jinhua hates this gifted and hard-working saintly protagonist, but at the same time has an overwhelming sense of superiority over him.

nIt’s just a paperweight.

nIt was just a man who had been given insight into his destiny.

nWhat can I do if I work harder and have more talent? In the end, everything is still mine.

nDoes he now have to rely on a hermit crab that was otherwise dependent only on him?

nThere were many other disciples around, so Yan Jinhua could not use the treasure pearls and could not face up to them, so he could only secretly say to the system, “Help me.”

nThe system calmly said, “Remind the host that the system will not just offer help and will need to deduct a certain amount of progress points to make up for our loss.”

nYan Jinhua knows that this system is a sugar cock, not only does it not pluck a single hair, it also sticks down to others’ hair and never helps him for nothing.

nWhile he secretly gritted his teeth, he was not very distressed.

nSooner or later, these advances will come back to haunt Duan Shujue.

nAs he stepped on the sword, Duan Shujue seemed to feel something and, with his fingers forming a sword, he turned around and slashed downwards!

nAs a flash of arashi light passed by, the young man who had raised his sword to attack backwards was crushed by a terrifyingly strong cyclone and flew backwards, his front lapel torn halfway by the sword’s intent, and the remnants of the finger wind passing around his body, snapping the trees behind him, about the thickness of a man’s arms!

nThe young man hadn’t expected such a sudden change, and with his back pressed against the remaining half of the root, he looked as pale as dirt.

nDuan Shujue did not intend to hurt him, only to suppress.

nHe withdrew his sword and asked Yan Jinhua, “Are you ready to go?”

nAs always, his words are few, but they are hard enough to make Yan Jinhua slightly lose his concentration.

nYan Jinhua didn’t want to admit that the spiritual power that Duan Shujue had just exploded out with had weakened his knees, nearly forcing him to kneel down straight away.

nHe began to wonder if he would really be able to knock him out as well as he had planned?

nBut he immediately reassured himself that it didn’t matter, if it really didn’t work, he would pay more and cash in a psychedelic-type prop from the system to put him to sleep, and even if he found out later that he had done it, it would be too late.

nDuan Shujue is with him on the road, but Duan Shujue is oblivious to his motives all the way, breaking through formations and retreating from the enemy, an ordinary blue-bladed sword clearing a clear path for Yan Jinhua.

nIn other words, Yan Jinhua was kept firmly behind Duan Shujue throughout, unable to get to the side.

nYan Jinhua seemed to have countless opportunities, but every time he thought he had an opening, Duan Shujue turned his head and looked behind him.

nHaving been forced to interrupt several times, Yan Jinhua inevitably became agitated.

nCould Duan Shujue really have killed all the way to the sword in the stone like that?

nWhen did he become so good?

nAfter all, Duan Shujue is the number one male protagonist in The Immortal Sailor. If he were to break the Seven Great Formations, wouldn’t his plan be ruined? Not only did he not succeed in taking away Duan Shujue’s qi, but he also dragged him into the game and did it for others?

nThe more Yan Jinhua thought about it, the more distracted he became, and with Duan Shujue watching over him, the more distracted he became, even less aware of the situation around him.

nBut are those seven formations easy to break into?

nDuan Shujue had no time for anything else after only the second burst.

nAs a result, Yan Jinhua’s face was bloodied by several sword winds when Duan Shujue failed to take care of it.

nIn a moment of panic, he rolled off his sword and fell to the ground, and when he was momentarily dazed, he saw several nets of swords coming thick and fast at him!

nIf he couldn’t avoid it, he would have been strangled to pieces and perished on the spot!

nYan Jinhua’s mind went blank and he forgot to draw his sword from his waist, and instinctively closed his eyes to protect his face, but he did not feel the pain he thought he would feel.

nDuan Shujue leapt from the sword, his body pivoting, and blocked the thousands of diffuse sword rays for him!

nDuan Shujue pulled Yan Jinhua up by the hand as the gold splashed out: “Go!”

nYan Jinhua was dazed when Duan Shujue pulled him up from the ground with one arm, dragged him onto his back, and took off with his sword.

nAs a result, Yan Jinhua did not even notice that Duan Shujue had stepped on his belt and pulled it off his waist.

n…… The pouch contains the pearl that defines the sea.

nHe had deliberately stored it in a pouch on the side of his waist, which he had intended to use to transfer it at any time.

nNoticing the loss of the precious pearl, the system felt bad and shouted anxiously, “Host! Host!”

nHowever, Yan Jinhua was so frightened and dazed by the fall that he couldn’t hear what it was saying.

nThe system weighed its options and decided that if it lost the pearl, it would really be more than worth the loss, so it had to grit its teeth and deduct a certain amount of raid value, intending to retrieve the pearl after it was datamined.

nWho would have thought that before it could do so, a snow-white walking cloud crawler would have gently stepped on the brocade bag on the ground.

nDamn!!!

nThe system looked up and saw that the man was staring at it with a slight tilt of his head!

nThe system went cold, thinking it had a data disorder.

nIt is logical that this man should be watching the backs of Duan Shujue and Yan Jinhua as they break through the formation, but the system somehow feels like it is being gazed at directly by him.

n…… has seen the devil.

nEven if the system was bold, it would not dare to make a move in front of the eyes of a master of the immortal cultivation world.

nEven Duan Shujue had to gather all his energy to deal with the sword formation, but he could easily stand in it without a single weapon in his hands, which shows his terrifying strength.

nSometimes, people at the top of their strength in this world have eyes and abilities that are comparable to those of an advanced system, and it is only afraid that drawing the attention of the other side will backfire on Yan Jinhua, so it has to give up unhappily.

n…… This is a big loss.

nThe wind picked up in the forest, and the man who had the lost pearl in his hands tucked the pouch into his arms and stepped on the fallen leaves of the forest, rustling away.

nThis man was a young swordsman in the shape of a young man, dressed in white, with a xiao at his waist and a blue umbrella painted with carp on his back. All the subtle sword winds that came towards him were resolved into fragmented data and disappeared into the wind as they were about to approach his body.

nSu Yun, who had just accosted Duan Shujue and Yan Jinhua, came running up to the scene and was stunned to see the man in front of him.

nThe man in front of you ……

nIs that him? Why did he suddenly return to the mountain?

nSu Yun was surprised, “Little Uncle? How did you come here?”

nThe young man he called Little Uncle turned his head when he heard his voice, smiled slightly, and said succinctly, “Choose a disciple.”
