Chapter 466 Sword Worship Manor
Baijian Manor.

Renowned throughout the world for its sword-making, it is a highly prestigious force in the martial arts world.

Although Baijian Manor never relied on any power, it has stood in the martial arts world for over a hundred years and is renowned for its prestige.

Unfortunately, the Sword Worship Manor has declined in the last ten years or so for various reasons.

For example: The old master died without cause; the young master was too young to shoulder the responsibility...

However, even a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Sword Worship Manor still has that master known as the "Sword Demon". As long as that demon is there, the Sword Worship Manor cannot completely decline.

Moreover, it is rumored in the martial arts world that Baijian Manor is forging an unparalleled sword, and once this sword is completed, Baijian Manor will once again stand at the pinnacle of the martial arts world.

Now, this sword-making family, which has never been a vassal of other forces, has no choice but to lower its noble head just to welcome the arrival of one person.

This person is none other than Ying Xun, who is filled with dread.

Without a doubt, if we were to talk about the most influential figures in the world today, it would be Ying Xun.

He himself was mysterious and unpredictable, knowledgeable in both ancient and modern times, and his decree caused chaos and turmoil in the martial arts world.

His martial arts skills are unfathomable. He defeated the Sword Saint in three moves and crippled Dugu Yifang with a single sword strike in Wushuang City. Not long ago, he fought a mysterious master on the banks of the Qiantang River, which changed the world.

More importantly, besides his unfathomable strength, he also has a powerful background.

He is not only the son-in-law of the World Society, but also has close ties with Wushuang City. There are even rumors that he has influence in the imperial court.

His powerful background and influence are unparalleled in the world.

With such a person, who in the world would not fear him, and who would not be afraid of him?

Therefore, after receiving the invitation three days ago, the entire Baijian Manor was busy preparing to welcome Ying Xun and his party today.

At the entrance of Baijian Mountain Villa.

A graceful and voluptuous woman wore a light veil, concealing her stunning beauty and revealing only a pair of captivating eyes. However, those eyes also seemed to be covered by a thin mist, hiding countless sorrowful past events.

Beside her stood a young man in his early twenties, who appeared quite arrogant; he was none other than Ao Tian, ​​the young master of Baijian Manor.

The mother and son, along with the people from Baijian Manor, were waiting for that person to arrive.

"Mother, the sun is very strong today, let's go inside and wait."

Ao Tian was getting impatient. He and Madam Ao were standing at the very front, with no shelter at all, and the sun was high in the sky, making him feel scorched. If Madam Ao hadn't given him a strict order, he probably would have run away long ago.

"Tian'er, Young Master Ying is a peerless figure in the world today, a powerful and influential figure who can rival gods and demons. Not to mention that our Sword Worship Manor has declined now, even in the heyday of your father, we couldn't afford to offend such a person. As the heir of Sword Worship Manor, for the sake of the manor, you should endure whatever happens, let alone just standing here for a while." Madam Ao said sternly.

“Mother, no matter how powerful that person is, can he possibly surpass Master Sword Demon? Besides, the peerless sword is about to be forged. Once the peerless sword is born, no matter what kind of Peerless City or World Society it is, they will all submit to the footsteps of our Sword Worship Manor.”

Although Aotian was young, he spoke with great arrogance, even surpassing the former Xiong Ba in some respects.

"Tian'er, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Madam Ao shouted sternly.

Even if the peerless sword were forged, so what?
For the Sword Worship Manor today, the peerless sword is no different from a child carrying gold through a bustling market; not only can it not be protected, but it may even bring disaster to the Sword Worship Manor.

This is also one of the reasons why someone was sent to invite Ying Xun to Baijian Villa.

As for the Sword Demon, Madam Ao wished she could drink his blood and eat his flesh, but unfortunately, the Sword Worship Manor had no choice but to rely on him now. Her son, unaware of the Sword Demon's deeds, had mistaken his enemy for his father, which caused her even more heartache.

"Young Master Ying has arrived!"

With a servant's shout, a luxurious carriage slowly drove towards Baijian Manor.

When the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Baijian Manor, Madam Ao and her disciples immediately bowed and said, "Baijian Manor warmly welcomes Young Master Ying."

Young Master Aotian, who was originally arrogant, could not withstand his mother's stern gaze and had no choice but to bow.

Greetings, everyone.

These four short words seem to come from the heavens above, as ethereal as the wind and clouds, yet exuding a domineering air of decisiveness over all living beings and a disdain for the world.

Based on just these four words, Madam Ao was certain that the person who spoke must be Ying Xun.

The people from Baijian Manor all stood up, but they appeared even more respectful and polite.

Even the usually arrogant Ao Tian lowered his head, only daring to glance at the carriage out of the corner of his eye.

"Roar!"

A roar suddenly erupted from the carriage, exploding in the ears of everyone from Baijian Manor. The roar was like the furious howl of a vengeful ghost, filled with a strong aura of ferocity. Faintly, everyone seemed to sense that an indescribable monster was lurking in the carriage, ready to devour anyone at any moment.

Madam Ao's legs went weak, and Ao Tian's face turned pale; they almost fell over.

Even Madam Ao and Ao Tian were like this, not to mention the servants and disciples of Baijian Manor, many of whom fell to the ground with a thud.

"Hehe, Great Evil King, this is your destiny. You can't resist it. Just accept your fate. The future may still be your glory."

That ethereal, yet domineering voice rang out again. Though not as deafening as the roar, it possessed an incredible magic that instantly calmed people down.

The roars of fierce ghosts and ferocious beasts gradually subsided, but the intense resentment and hatred could still be clearly felt by everyone in the Sword Worship Manor.

Immediately afterwards, a hand lifted the carriage curtain.

This is a very beautiful hand.

Her joints were clearly defined, and her skin was fair and slender.

The veins are hidden in the skin and flesh and are not prominent. Even the texture of the skin is very even, as if it has been carefully sculpted by the Creator.

With his slender fingers, he would be perfectly suited to wielding either a knife or a sword.

His large hands were full of power, as if he could grasp everything in the world in one hand.

However, the person who stepped off the carriage was not the owner of the hand, but a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old. Her skirt fluttered, her black hair cascaded down, and her pretty little face was exceptionally fair, even sickly pale. Her lips were slightly pursed, making her look very delicate and lovely, which made people feel sorry for her.

But what's even more eye-catching is the long box in the little girl's arms.

A long, glowing box.

A long box that could glow was amazing enough, but what was even more terrifying was that it exuded a fierce and resentful aura. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying being was sealed inside the box that could emit such a fierce aura. The little girl seemed to be pale because she was resisting this aura.

Immediately afterwards, the owner of that hand slowly stepped out of the carriage. He was dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome face and an extraordinary demeanor, unlike any ordinary person.

Such demeanor and bearing are truly unprecedented and unheard of.

So much so that everyone was stunned, even ignoring You Ruo, the First Evil Emperor, and others who were right behind them.

"Madam Ao".

A gentle shout, like a spring breeze, brought everyone back to their senses. Meeting the other's gaze, Madam Ao and the others felt a strange sensation, as if the other person were a celestial being dwelling high above the heavens, looking down upon all living beings, whose deep eyes could see through all their thoughts.

Under that gaze, everyone fell silent, instinctively lowering their heads and not daring to look directly into his eyes.

Madam Ao suppressed the turmoil in her heart and curtsied again. "This concubine greets Young Master Ying. Wine and dishes have been prepared in the hall to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."

Ying Xun returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Madam Ao, you are too kind. I have come to Baijian Manor this time not only at your invitation, but also to ask for your help. I would like Baijian Manor to forge a sword for me. I will be responsible for the materials myself, but I am still missing a few. One of them is available at Baijian Manor. With your generosity, I am sure you will not be stingy. Of course, I know the rules of sword forging, and I will not shortchange you on the price."

He sent a formal invitation because he wanted the Sword Worship Manor to forge a sword.

After all, when asking someone for a favor, one should show proper courtesy.

"It is an honor for my Sword Worship Manor to be able to forge a sword for Young Master Ying."

No sooner had Madam Ao finished speaking than a rapid sound of hoofbeats arose, rolling closer and closer.

A group of knights galloped straight toward the mountain gate. The riders were all strong and muscular men, and their clothes were embroidered with the words "Baijian" (拜剑), clearly indicating that they were elite disciples of Baijian Manor.

"Haha, Madam Ao, I'm back."

The leader was a tall and burly man with a fierce look on his face. Only when his gaze fell on Madam Ao did he reveal a trace of tenderness.

Lady Ao frowned slightly, wondering why the Sword Demon had returned at this time.

Sword Demon, the most skilled martial artist in the Sword Worship Manor, is infamous in the martial arts world. He is lecherous and cruel, and his Pulse-Severing Sword Qi is renowned.

Judging solely by martial arts skills, he is no less skilled than the leaders of major sects.

It is precisely because of this that the increasingly declining Baijian Manor was able to be supported.

Although the Sword Demon has a volatile and violent personality, he is completely obedient to Madam Ao.

Previously, in order to obtain the blood of the Three Poisons needed for the Peerless Sword, he went out to find Jian Tan and others. He thought he would be back in ten days or half a month at most, but he did not find Jian Chi Duan Lang for a long time, which wasted a lot of time.

Sword Demon leaped off his horse, his gaze shifting to Ying Xun, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Who are you?"

His voice was full of anger because Ying Xun was too handsome, and more importantly, he was very close to Madam Ao, which made him extremely jealous and angry.

“Sword Demon Master, this person… is none other than Ying Xun, the one who is terrified.”

Upon seeing the Sword Demon, Ao Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Having grown up without a father, he felt a deep sense of respect and admiration for the Sword Demon, who had supported the Sword Worship Manor.

Although Ying Xun was very famous, Ao Tian had never seen him fight in person. However, the power of the Sword Demon was deeply ingrained in Ao Tian's mind. He had never seen anyone survive the Sword Demon's Severing Meridian Sword Qi.

Upon hearing that it was Ying Xun, the Sword Demon's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly, "Ying Xun, your list of shocking events has shaken the world, but in my opinion, it's nothing special."

Ying Xun glanced at the Sword Demon and immediately understood. He said calmly, "Do you think the Panic Ranking is lacking?"

"That's right, it's missing my Severing Pulse Sword Qi, which is comparable to the Heavenly Sword."

The Sword Demon laughed heartily, raised his hand and pointed, suddenly shooting a severing sword aura at Ying Xun.

This "Severing Pulse Sword Qi" is his renowned skill in the martial arts world. It can pierce even the hardest stone with its sword qi. Moreover, the sword qi is formless and intangible; a flick of the finger can unleash a sword qi that kills without a trace.

Whether in terms of power, speed, or other aspects, it is extremely good; in fact, most famous masters in the martial arts world would find it difficult to withstand.

Unfortunately, Ying Xun was no ordinary master.

Before the sword energy even reached within three feet of him, it vanished without a trace.

"Comparable to the Heavenly Sword?"

Ying Xun scoffed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, saying, "Your third-rate Broken Pulse Sword Qi is not worthy of being compared with the Heavenly Sword? You are just a clown who has made a name for yourself in the martial world and thinks you are so great? It's just a case of the monkey becoming king when the tiger is away, trash!"

"Boy, you are courting death!"

Enraged, the Sword Demon spread his five fingers wide, condensing all his true energy into them, and then unleashed a powerful burst of energy.

Ying Xun chuckled and pointed a finger.

The force shot out from the index finger, incredibly hot, distorting and deforming the air wherever it passed.

This move is the Perfect Golden Finger from the Ten Strong Martial Arts.

The force of this finger strike was so strong that even metal would be melted into liquid.

Then, a scream rang out, and the sword demon's entire arm was blasted apart.

He staggered backward, disbelief still in his eyes.

Completely unexpectedly, his arm was blown off as soon as they started fighting.

Even more terrifying, a scorching force spread from the wound to his limbs and bones, making his whole body feel as if it were being burned by fire, and he couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

Ao Tian's face turned deathly pale. He couldn't believe that the Sword Demon, whom he considered invincible, had been defeated in a single move.

Madam Ao, however, after a flash of satisfaction in her eyes, became thoughtful, lost in thought.

"I told you, your Severing Meridian Sword Qi is nothing but third-rate stuff, do you believe me now?" Ying Xun said calmly, "Now, kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake, and I might spare your life."

"Bah, forget it!"

The Sword Demon's anger had reached its peak. Completely disregarding the injury to his left arm, he condensed the remaining sword energy into his right hand, forming a claw with his five fingers. He leaped high into the air, intending to fight Ying Xun to the death.

Unfortunately, before he could unleash his sword energy, the power of the Perfect Golden Finger within his body erupted like a volcano.

In an instant, his meridians and acupoints burst open one after another, blood spurted from his body, and he fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, barely breathing.

"Sigh~ Why can't you just kowtow and admit your mistake? Why do you have to be so desperate?"

As he spoke, Ying Xun walked up to the Sword Demon and stepped on his head.

Realizing the threat of death, the Sword Demon disregarded everything else and hurriedly begged for mercy, saying, "Young Master Ying, spare my life! I am willing to kowtow and admit my mistakes, and serve you like a slave."

"I don't need you, you beast of burden. But don't worry, I was just joking when I said I'd kill you. Don't take it seriously."

Ying Xun slightly retracted his foot, then kicked the Sword Demon in front of Madam Ao.

“Madam, the Sword Demon is now a cripple, incapable of any resistance. Consider him my gift to you, and I think you will like him.”

"Thank you, Young Master Ying. I like it very much."

Lady Ao's eyes welled with tears. She curtsied again and looked down at the Sword Demon with the gaze of a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell: "Sword Demon, I will make you wish you were dead and suffer a fate worse than death, and avenge my husband."

Upon hearing this, Aotian was utterly shocked: "Mother, what did you say?!"

"Tian'er, haven't you always wanted to know how your father died?"

Ao Tian didn't reply, but just glanced at the Sword Demon who was now a cripple.

"That's right, the one who harmed your father is the Sword Demon!"
