Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 328 Once you enter the martial world, everyone is a killer.

Sun Yanwan, standing to the side, also felt somewhat distressed, thinking to herself, "If Master knew about the Golden Light Cave, he would probably also tell me not to come."

Monk Wunian came alone, and Sun Yanwan arranged a caravan for him specifically to transport Miaohua's body.

Overwhelmed with grief, Monk Wunian thanked Sun Yanwan and said, “Thank you for helping my disciple collect his remains. As a monk, I only speak of karma, not gratitude or grudges. I will remember your kindness. As for my disciple’s karma, I am willing to stay for a few days to resolve this calamity.”

Sun Yanwan was overjoyed. Wu Nian Monk was a master of external martial arts. If he were there, the chances of winning against Ba Tianmo or the master of Jiangxue Sword Sect would be greatly increased.

They were very polite and invited Monk Wunian back to Dangmo Manor. They explained the martial arts characteristics of Ba Tianmo and the master of Jiangxue Sword Sect one by one, and even gave him a technique that was separated from the Ice Soul Divine Skill and was specifically designed to resist the erosion of cold.

In fact, any martial art based on cold will first teach a method to resist the cold when starting out, so that the disciple will not be frozen before the martial art is mastered.

The martial arts techniques of the Songyang Sect, Xuanming Sect, and Daxue Mountain Sect all have similar mental cultivation methods, but their family methods are ingenious and different, and they are not of the same type.

When the monk Wunian arrived at the Demon-Slaying Manor, he asked for a quiet room and hardly ever left the house.

Although Sun Yanwan couldn't find the flaws in the Ice Soul Divine Skill, she did gain some understanding of the characteristics of this cold-type martial art. In particular, Yang Diao'er and Duanmu Xianling, after digesting what they had learned, had both made progress and decided to take the initiative.

More than ten gangs and even martial arts sects near Yanchi Lake were either swallowed up by the Tianma Gang or moved away voluntarily. In particular, the departure of the Dangmo Hu family meant that all of the Dangmo Hu family's original properties were taken over by the Tianma Gang, making the area completely the domain of the Tianma Gang.

Even many ordinary locals rely on the Tianma Gang for their livelihood, so their information network is incredibly advanced. Sun Yanwan already knew the hiding place of Ba Tianmo and the master of Jiangxue Sword Studio.

Both men hid near Yanchi Lake, one in a deserted temple and the other in a wealthy family's house. They were both nocturnal and had come to Dangmo Manor several times to spy on it, but they had not found an opportunity.

Both of them seemed to be wary of each other, and whenever they occasionally saw each other from a distance, they would immediately avoid each other and never get close.

Sun Yanwan chose an auspicious day and quietly left Dangmo Manor with Wuyinghou, Yang Diao'er, Wunian Monk, Duanmu Xianling, and Lu Chaoxiu, and went to find the master of Jiangxue Sword Studio.

This veteran master was also very alert and quickly sensed something was wrong. He rushed out of his hiding place and found himself surrounded. He snorted coldly and charged straight at Sun Yanwan with his sword.

Sun Yanwan struck out with his staff, exchanging blows with the master of Jiangxue Sword Studio. Although his skill was slightly inferior, his arm strength was great, and he was using a heavy weapon, so he did not fall behind.

Instead, the master of Jiangxue Sword Studio gracefully stepped aside and couldn't help but praise, "Zhang Yuanqiao has indeed taught a good disciple."

Sun Yanwan coldly retorted, "You are also a grandmaster, and Jiangxue Sword Sect is one of the ten great sword sects. Why do you need to kill people indiscriminately in order to improve your martial arts?"

The master of Jiangxue Sword Studio sneered, "What do you know?"

"Ask Wuyinghou, and ask the monk beside you. If there were an opportunity to advance to Grandmaster by killing just one hundred people, would they kill people?"

Wuyinghou shouted, "Don't even mention a hundred people, even a thousand or ten thousand, I will kill them all."

The monk Wunian said leisurely, "This old monk can first return to secular life, and after becoming a Grandmaster, lay down his butcher's knife, live a life of quiet contemplation, and spend decades repenting for these innocent people." Sun Yanwan was speechless. Yang Diao'er, who was next to her, chuckled and said, "Your Songyang Sect may not be so clean either."

Sun Yanwan quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean 'you'? That's our Songyang Sect. You'll be a member of Songyang Sect from now on."

Yang Diao'er felt a slight joy in her heart. Sun Yanwan scolded her, not because she spoke ill of the Songyang Sect, but because she shouldn't separate herself from Songyang. Her delicate face glowed in the sunlight, radiant and beautiful beyond compare.

Duanmu Xianling and Lu Chaoxiu exchanged a glance, both seeing the complexity in each other's eyes.

Having spent so much time with Sun Yanwan, the two women were impressed by his character, demeanor, talent, and knowledge. In particular, his creation of martial arts techniques was as effortless as eating and drinking, and his exceptional talent in martial arts instilled a deep sense of awe in them.

However, both women knew that Shi Si was not very magnanimous in this regard. Yang Diao'er had not yet truly entered Sun Yanwan's family. At this moment, seeing Yang Diao'er's beauty, she truly overshadowed the two of them. Even if they had some thoughts in their hearts, they shrank back to a very small size.

The master of Jiangxue Sword Studio held his sword horizontally to his chest and shouted, "Once you enter the martial world, everyone is a killer!"

"Where are there good people and bad people?"

"If I kill you, you can kill me too. No one should complain about who dies."

The monk Wunian shouted, "This old monk is only doing this for my disciple to fulfill this karmic bond." He stepped forward and threw a punch, using the Zen skills of Tianlong Temple. His monk's robes bulged, exuding a majestic aura, just like a Vajra Buddha.

The master of Jiangxue Sword Studio was unarmed last time, but this time he was holding a long sword. He no longer needed to use the technique of condensing water into a sword. With a slight turn of his long sword, he unleashed the Ten Thousand Miles Flying Snow Sword Technique and engaged in a fierce battle with this external martial arts master.

The two exchanged blows with their fists and swords. At first, nothing seemed amiss, but after more than ten exchanges, a layer of bluish aura enveloped the monk's face. Clearly, he had been eroded by the chilling energy of the Ice Soul Divine Art, and it was likely that he would run out of steam within a few dozen moves.

Although Monk Wunian obtained the mental cultivation method to resist the cold, he did not practice it. After all, he was a grandmaster of a sect and was somewhat proud of his status. He also felt that with his external martial arts skills and profound internal strength, he might not be afraid of the cold true energy of the master of Jiangxue Sword Hall.

Only after this encounter did I realize that this ancient, lost martial art was indeed incredibly powerful.

Sun Yanwan couldn't stand by and watch Wunian Monk be defeated. He shouted and grabbed his ebony club to join the battle. This ebony club was originally a beam from the Hu family's house. Sun Yanwan found that the piece of wood was of excellent quality, so he dismantled the roof, cut it off, and split it into three thick clubs. He gave one to Yang Diao'er and kept one as a spare.

This ebony club is no less valuable than the red dragonwood club, but it is harder, less flexible, and heavier, requiring more effort to wield.

Wuyinghou, Yang Diao'er, Duanmu Xianling, and Lu Chaoxiu also joined the battle. Although the master of Jiangxue Sword Studio was highly skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship, how could he withstand the siege of so many people? He was at a disadvantage after only a few moves and had to desperately break through the encirclement.

Wuying Hou, with his superior lightness skill, would always be at the forefront, using his unparalleled speed and swordsmanship to intercept the master of Jiangxue Sword Pavilion.

This caused the old master of swordsmanship to grow increasingly pale.
