Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"Hand over the portraits you drew of the two people from our Cangxi Town," Zhang Jianyun said to the Wuxiang painter who had appeared.

"Alright, alright, I'll take them out right away." The painter Wuxiang said, taking down the book box he was carrying on his back and handing two paintings to Zhang Jianyun.

Upon receiving the paintings, Zhang Jianyun immediately took out a tinderbox and burned both paintings. Once the paintings were completely burned, the people in the paintings reappeared in the place where they had disappeared, returning to the real world.

After placing Zhu Lan and Mo Dun into the Divine Realm, Zhang Jianyun handed the Painter Wuxiang over to Jiang Gulin.

"Master, you're truly amazing! You caught the Painter Wuxiang so quickly," Jiang Gulin praised.

"I've already burned those two paintings. The person who disappeared should have returned by now. How to deal with this Wuxiang painter is your government's business," Zhang Jianyun said, pushing the Wuxiang painter towards Jiang Gulin.

Jiang Gulin stopped the painter Wuxiang: "Thank you, Pavilion Master. We will investigate why this painter Wuxiang wanted to paint people in my Cangxi Town, and we will present the results to you."

After handing over the painting master Wuxiang, Zhang Jianyun returned to his residence. On the way, Zhou Wei and Liu Fei were very curious about how Zhang Jianyun had captured the painting master Wuxiang.

"It's a secret; you'll find out later," Zhang Jianyun said mysteriously.

"This..." Zhou Wei and Liu Fei really wanted to hold Zhang Jianyun down and force him to reveal the secret.

Back in his room, Zhang Jianyun was about to rest when Wang Chaoyang rushed over in a flurry.

"Sir, Chief Tang has sent news of Shi Haijing, a member of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang, via carrier pigeon." Wang Chaoyang said, handing a slip of paper to Zhang Jianyun.

After reading the note, Zhang Jianyun frowned: "A late-stage Historical Realm expert, and actually an elder of the Longevity Palace?"

In an instant, Zhang Jianyun felt that his entanglement with the Longevity Palace had become complicated.

"My lord, the note from Chief Tang says that this Shi Haijing character has a bad temper, and most of the members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang keep their distance from him. We can escalate the conflict between him and the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang and force him to leave."

"Of course, if you could personally go to Black Horse Town, fight this person, and suppress him, making him see the gap between him and you, then further escalating the conflict between him and the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang would easily force him to leave," Wang Chaoyang said.

"He's a late-stage expert in the History Realm, while I'm only at the mid-stage. Where do you get the confidence that I can suppress him?" Zhang Jianyun said with amusement.

"Uh~" Wang Chaoyang was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a moment. However, after thinking about it, he was also puzzled. Why did he feel so naturally that Zhang Jianyun could suppress that Changsheng Palace elder who was in the late stage of the History Sea Realm?

Seeing that Wang Chaoyang remained silent, Zhang Jianyun stopped teasing him: "I'll make arrangements to go to Black Horse Town later and meet that Elder of the Longevity Palace."

"Then I wish you a resounding victory, sir," Wang Chaoyang said excitedly.

After Wang Chaoyang left, Zhang Jianyun summoned Zhu Yiwen, gave him some instructions, and then rode his Crimson Flame Horse to Black Horse Town.

This was Zhang Jianyun's first trip to another town since he transmigrated, and he was quite excited.

After a gallop of horses, Zhang Jianyun arrived at the Yuelai Inn in Black Horse Town.

"My lord, you've arrived." Tang Guanshan greeted Zhang Jianyun.

"Is there any way to get in touch with that Shi Haijing figure from the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang?" Zhang Jianyun asked as soon as he arrived.

"Yu Bo and I are trying to figure something out," Tang Guanshan said hurriedly.

"We need to hurry, I can't stay away from Cangxi Town for too long," Zhang Jianyun said, frowning.

"Please rest assured, sir, I will open up channels as soon as possible to make contact with that Shi Haijing figure from the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang," Tang Guanshan said proudly.

"Yes, make contact as soon as possible and send the challenge letter over," Zhang Jianyun said.

An hour later, Yu Bo arrived in a flurry of activity.

"My lord, I have already delivered the challenge to that Shi Haijing figure from the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang," Yu Bo said excitedly.

"Where is the agreed-upon location?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"The western suburbs," Yu Bo said.

"Alright, I'll go wait there now." Zhang Jianyun said, then left Yuelai Inn and rode his Crimson Flame Horse to the western outskirts.

After waiting for about half an hour in the western suburbs, a man galloped up on horseback.

Giddy up! Giddy up!

The person who arrived stopped in front of Zhang Jianyun by reining in his horse.

"Are you Zhang Jianyun, the one who challenged me to battle?" the man asked.

"That is indeed me. May I ask if I am a historical figure from the Myriad Beasts Gang?" Zhang Jianyun said.

"I am Huang Xing, an elder of the Longevity Palace. I have been invited by the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang to oversee the gang and resist the invasion of the White Tiger Gang," Huang Xing said coldly.

"Chief Huang, as an elder of the Longevity Palace, why do you meddle in the conflicts between martial arts factions?" Zhang Jianyun said earnestly.

"Hmph, if you can interfere, why can't I?" Huang Xing sneered.

"You and I are different. The White Tiger Gang is actually under my control," Zhang Jianyun said.

Huang Xing looked at Zhang Jianyun with some surprise upon hearing this: "You still have time to manage a martial arts sect in a single day?"

"You can find the time if you squeeze it in," Zhang Jianyun said calmly.

"Hmph, neglecting your duties. You've become a historical figure at such a young age. If I were you, I would definitely leave here and seek opportunities on a higher stage," Huang Xing said dismissively.

"We don't need to dwell on this. Tell me what benefits the Beast Gang gave you, and my White Tiger Gang will give you double that," Zhang Jianyun said.

"You greenhorn, do you really think I'm here to protect the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang for money? You underestimate me. The reason I'm here is because the former leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang is my cousin," Huang Xing said.

"Since that's the case, a battle between us is inevitable," Zhang Jianyun said indifferently.

"Make your move. Let me see just how capable you are. You dare to covet Black Horse Town before you've even settled into Cangxi Town's territory," Huang Xing said.

"Then you'd better watch carefully."

Swish!

As Zhang Jianyun spoke, he leaped off his horse, drew his fish-patterned sword, and slashed at Huang Xing.

Swish!

Huang Xing also drew his sword from his waist and leaped off his horse to meet Zhang Jianyun.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

blah blah blah!

The two men clashed with their swords, each strike aimed at a vital point.

Although it was just a challenge, both of them wanted to take the opportunity to seriously injure the other.

"Kid, you're no match for me. Give up on Black Horse Town." Huang Xing kept pushing Zhang Jianyun back, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"The battle has just begun, don't get too cocky." Zhang Jianyun said, stabbing diagonally at Huang Xing's throat with his sword, while simultaneously raising his left hand and unleashing a burst of crystal energy to attack Huang Xing's throat.

"White Dragon Plays with Phoenix!" Huang Xing roared, raising his left hand and unleashing a beam of crystalline energy. The beam transformed into a white dragon in the air, flying towards the beam of crystalline energy that Zhang Jianyun had unleashed.

boom!

The white dragon collided instantly with Zhang Jianyun's crystalline energy. With a loud bang, the white dragon pierced through Zhang Jianyun's crystalline energy and shot towards Zhang Jianyun.

Zhang Jianyun was startled. This was the first time he had encountered his own crystalline energy being penetrated by the opponent's crystalline energy, and it was also the first time he had encountered crystalline energy with a shape.

call out!

Zhang Jianyun hurriedly leaped into the air to dodge the white dragon's attack.

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
