A Man in the Snow: Starting with a Sword Challenge to the Northern Liang Prince's Palace

"All's fair in war, but you've lost!"

Ye Yun paid no attention to Sui Xiegu's impotent rage, unless he wanted to learn this man's swordsmanship.

He could have killed Sui Xiegu just now using his natal flying sword.

"Hahaha, the younger generation is truly formidable. What kind of sword technique was that just now? It actually possessed the power of heavenly lightning."

Sui Xiegu laughed loudly, then took a deep breath and exhaled a bolt of purple lightning, which struck the ground with a loud "boom," creating a huge crater.

It was the thunderous sword intent attached to Ye Yun's natal flying sword, Zixiao.

"Want to know?"

"I'm willing to accept defeat and follow me for twenty years."

Ye Yun said calmly.

The disheveled old man grinned and said, "No, no, you tricked me just now, it's like you used two swords."

"You're forcing me to kill you."

Ye Yun frowned. Since he couldn't subdue them, he would kill them!

"Hahaha, that's really domineering. In my life, I don't seek the orthodoxy of swordsmanship, nor do I seek perfection in my realm. I only seek to prove my way with the sword and never be defeated by anyone."

You are the second person to defeat me.

I'll follow you for at most ten years.

"But I have one more request: let me know exactly what swordsmanship you used to defeat me."

Throughout his life, Sui Xiegu never lost to anyone in the art of swordsmanship.

"Oh, I think there are very few people in this world who can easily defeat you, except for Wang Xianzhi of Wudi City."

The words fell.

Ye Yun held a purple flying sword in his hand, which was wrapped with constantly flashing lightning power.

Looking at the flying sword, Sui Xiegu's mouth was practically watering: "Kid, I've worked for you for twenty years, how about I have this flying sword as my dessert?"

"It smells so good, it smells amazing!"

"Eating swords is the greatest pleasure."

With a thought, Ye Yun summoned Zi Xiao into his body, revealing a mocking expression: "My flying sword, do you dare to eat it?"

"What a pity, I'm no match for you, otherwise I would have snatched it and eaten it."

"Boy, is this the sword you used to kill Qi Lianhua in the Northern Liang Prince's mansion?"

Sui Xiegu naturally understood that this flying sword was Ye Yun's trump card, and Duan would not allow him to swallow it.

Ye Yun did not answer, but instead said, "Keep your promise. For the next ten years, you must do as I ask."

"Young Ye, although I have agreed to follow you for ten years, it does not mean that I have to risk my life for you. Don't ask me to handle any small matters. You cannot restrict my freedom."

Sui Xiegu waved his hand directly.

"Yes, you must help me if necessary."

Ye Yun knew that it was highly unlikely that he could get Sui Xiegu to stay with him at ease.

Such unparalleled masters are simply impossible for anyone to truly restrain.

"Boy, do you want to learn my swordsmanship?"

Sui Xiegu took a step and stood in front of Ye Yun, grinning with his big yellow teeth.

Ye Yun took a few steps back. He couldn't stand Sui Xiegu's strange smell and covered his mouth and nose.

Sui Xiegu raised his hand and deliberately smelled his sleeve:

"Am I... that smelly?"

Ye Yun rolled her eyes at the other person.

Don't you smell bad? Can't you smell it yourself?

Ye Yun took out a piece of silver: "You're welcome."

Sui Xiegu chuckled as he took the silver, then bit into it with his teeth: "Ugh, it really stinks. Swords taste much better."

Ye Yun had already mounted the black tiger, preparing to find a place to refine Xu Longxiang into a puppet.

"roar!"

Black Tiger let out a roar.

They carried Ye Yun towards the city gate.

"Boy, wait for me."

A voice came from behind him.

Soon, Sui Xiegu, dressed in a red robe, caught up and landed on Jian Kui's shoulder with one foot.

He certainly knew how to enjoy himself, making Jian Kui do the hard labor.

Ye Yun did not object, since Jian Kui could easily carry someone without getting tired.

"I didn't expect you to tame Qi Xuanzhen's black tiger. It seems you have many secrets!"

Sui Xiegu continued jokingly.

Ye Yun closed his eyes to rest, recovering the energy and true essence he had just lost: "Senior, are you usually this talkative?"

"It's alright, but I've met an expert like you, so I'll ask you a few more questions."

Kid, shall we go to the Martial Emperor City in the East Sea and meet the War King Immortal?

I really want to know, who among you is stronger in this world today?

Sui Xiegu's words were a compliment to Ye Yun. Those who could be compared to Wang Xianzhi were among the strongest people in the world.

"For now, I'm no match for him!" Ye Yun slowly opened his eyes and continued, "Wang Xianzhi has been invincible for sixty years and has even reached the Celestial Realm. He has entered the Dao through martial arts and proven the Dao through strength. His physique is powerful, his aura is boundless, and his mental state is unmatched in the world. If you want to defeat him, give me some more time."

He was already half a step into the Celestial Realm, but not yet a Celestial Realm expert.

With his current cultivation level, if he were to fight Wang Xianzhi in Martial Emperor City...

Destiny is inevitable!

If we were not in Wudi City, and fought to the death, the outcome would be uncertain.

"Hahaha, kid, you do have some self-awareness. This Old Monster Wang is already invincible in Martial Emperor City!"

Back then, Qi Xuanzhen was unwilling to fight Wang Laoguai, allowing him to remain invincible. However, Gao Shulu from four hundred years ago was not from the same era. As for Li Chungang? He did have some skill back then. If he hadn't fallen from his cultivation level, he would have had a chance. Unfortunately, I didn't know he had fallen from his cultivation level back then.

In the coming decades, even figures like Tuoba Pusa, Deng Tai'a, and Cao Changqing would likely be no match for Wang Laoguai.

You ask me, is Hong Xixiang really Lü Zu?

Sui Xiegu, standing behind Ye Yun, said in a muffled voice.

This old man actually listed all the famous masters from the past few hundred years.

"It's him! If he makes a move, Wang Xianzhi will truly be second to none in the world."

Ye Yun said affirmatively.

If Hong Xixiang were to truly use his Three Incarnations Dharma Body and employ the Three Saints Realm of Lu Zu, it would be far superior to the Land Celestial Realm.

"It really is Lu Zu! My goodness, how was his sword strike?"

When Hong Xixiang went south of the Yangtze River, he clashed swords with Ye Yun, and almost all the masters in the world sensed it.

As for who ultimately won.

neither knows.

Even the Wudang Sect did not release any information about this matter.

All I know is that after that sword strike...

Ye Yun did not continue to attack Wudang, but instead stayed there.

Nobody knows what exactly happened during that time.

Ye Yun smiled faintly: "I didn't expect that you, the infamous Sword-Eating Ancestor, would actually enjoy listening to this kind of thing."

"If I hadn't been born in this era, I could have been invincible for a hundred years in any other era." Sui Xiegu was clearly a little unconvinced.

"Naturally, your unique way of swordsmanship, if you continue to follow it, can also lead you to the path of enlightenment."

Ye Yun did not object to Sui Xiegu; he was indeed a genius.

"What, do you want to learn? Back in the day, I could easily make two disciples famous throughout the land just by casually giving them a pointer on a sword or two."

"What are the conditions?"

Ye Yun asked.

"Hehe, how about exchanging your flying sword condensation technique?"

Sui Xiegu was indeed a genius in swordsmanship; he could tell the difference just by glancing at Zixiao.

As expected, he's cunning and shrewd. He's following Ye Yun around to learn how to condense his natal flying sword.

Ye Yun did not refuse him, but instead said:

"I can pass on my experience to you; whether you succeed or not depends on your luck."

Sui Xiegu was delighted upon hearing this.

This kid is someone you can get along with.

To pursue a higher level of swordsmanship, sacrificing ten years of freedom is a worthwhile trade.
