Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"Young man, you treated me to dinner before, now it's my turn to treat you." Old Wu said, leading Zhang Jianyun to a restaurant for dinner.

Just then, someone stopped them.

"Gentlemen, I saw you exchanging White Deer Fruit and Youth-Preserving Fruit. I need both of them. Name your price and sell me ten of each."

"Who the hell are you? Don't you dare block my way!" Old Wu roared angrily.

Zhang Jianyun recognized the speaker as Tan Fei, the one who had previously driven him off the boat.

"Old man, let's talk this out. I'm genuinely interested in buying it," Tan Fei said humbly.

Zhang Jianyun had seen him like this before. After politely paying and disembarking, he immediately arranged for someone to assassinate him.

"Get lost!" Old Wu roared, then led Zhang Jianyun toward the restaurant.

"That man was a subordinate of the disciple of the Three Emperors Island Master. You must be careful of him. He looks gentle, but he is actually extremely vicious," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of him?" Old Wu said disdainfully.

The two found a restaurant and asked for a private room to eat. Just as they were enjoying their meal, someone gently knocked on the door of the private room.

Who is it?

Old Wu asked impatiently.

Squeak!

The door was pushed open, and Zhang Jianyun saw Tan Fei leading three people into the private room.

"Old man, this is Di Cangde, the disciple of the island master of Three Emperors Island. He has come to buy White Deer Fruit and Youth-Preserving Fruit from you," Tan Fei said gently.

"You can bid as you please, money is not a problem," said Di Cangde, dressed in blue.

Zhang Jianyun glanced at Di Cangde. Di Cangde was younger than he expected, probably only around 22 years old.

"If you want my White Deer Fruit, that's fine too. I'll trade you for one Frostflower Fruit," Old Man Wu said.

"I'm not here to make an exchange with you; I'm here to buy with money," Di Cangde said.

"Get out of here if you're not going to trade! This isn't your Three Emperors Island!" Old Wu roared.

"Old man, you're so old, don't get angry so easily, it'll hurt your liver. There's nothing money can't solve, you can ask for anything you want," Tan Fei said.

call out!

Old Wu lifted a plate of stir-fried meat in front of him and threw it at Tan Fei, who was surprised and quickly dodged.

"Say another word to me and I'll break your legs," Old Wu roared.

Upon seeing this, Di Cangde's face immediately darkened, and the two men beside him also made a gesture to draw their swords.

Di Cangde gestured to the two people beside him not to make any moves.

"Old man, I have come with a sincere heart. I urgently need the White Deer Fruit and the Youth-Preserving Fruit. We do not have the Frost Blossom Fruit you requested. Could you exchange it for something else?" Di Cangde adopted a very humble posture.

Seeing Di Cangde's expression, Old Man Wu's face softened a bit. "Frost Blossom Fruit is fine, Spring and Autumn Fruit can be used instead."

"Old man, you've put me in a difficult position," Di Cangde said coldly.

"No, right? Then get lost." Old Wu said with a displeased expression.

"Old man, I've tolerated you for a long time. How dare you speak to my master like that?" A man next to Di Cangde suddenly thrust his sword at Old Man Wu.

laugh!

Old Wu flicked out a dart, which pierced the man's shoulder, and the force of the dart slammed the man against the wall.

"what!"

The man fell to the ground, clutching his shoulder and roaring.

"You've gone too far," Di Cangde said, looking at Old Man Wu.

"What? You want to have a fight with me?" Old Wu asked contemptuously.

Di Cangde glanced at Old Man Wu, then at Zhang Jianyun, and said, "Let's go."

After Di Cangde and his group left, Old Man Wu and Zhang Jianyun fell silent. They knew they had offended Di Cangde.

After exchanging a knowing glance, Old Wu and Zhang Jianyun resumed their normal eating and drinking.

After eating and drinking for a while, Old Wu lowered his voice and said, "There is an underground passage in this restaurant. Let's go out through the underground passage, and then I will find a small boat and we will go to Bitter Land Island."

"Okay." Zhang Jianyun nodded.

The two then found the restaurant manager and asked him to open the door to the underground passage.

"Come on, let's disguise ourselves." After entering the underground passage, Old Wu took out some clothes and two human skin masks from his storage ring.

After changing clothes, Old Wu transformed into a middle-aged scholar, while Zhang Jianyun became a middle-aged strong man.

The two passed through the underpass and came to a small alley.

"Come with me." Old Wu led Zhang Jianyun to a wine shop.

"I want to see Chen Fei," Old Wu said to the waiter at the wine shop.

"Please come with me." The waiter then led Old Man Wu and Zhang Jianyun into the inner room.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and call Manager Chen over," the waiter said, turning to leave.

Before long, an elderly man in his fifties came over.

"Who are you two?"

Chen Fei looked at the unfamiliar old man Wu and Zhang Jianyun and asked.

"Old Chen, this is Old Wu," said Old Wu.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei looked at Old Man Wu in surprise: "Are you wearing a human skin mask?"

Old Wu nodded.

"Did you mess with some tough guys on the island?" Chen Fei asked, frowning.

"Otherwise, why would I have the time to come looking for you? Prepare a small boat for me; I need to go to Bitter Land Island," Old Wu said.

"I'll give you my boat, you two come with me," Chen Fei said, leading Old Man Wu and Zhang Jianyun to the shore.

Many small boats, mostly fishing boats, were moored on the shore.

"Here's the boat for you. It's getting dark, so please be careful," Chen Fei said.

"Thank you, Old Chen," said Old Wu.

"Alright, you guys better get out of here," Chen Fei said with a laugh.

Old Wu and Zhang Jianyun boarded the boat and immediately rowed towards Bitter Island.

As soon as the two left the shore, Tan Fei led a group of men in gray clothes, accompanied by a hunting dog.

The hunting dogs barked wildly at Old Wu and Zhang Jianyun.

"We were careless. We didn't use the Breath-Concealing Pill. I didn't expect them to have hunting dogs." Old Wu frowned.

"There's no other way but to fight it out head-on," Zhang Jianyun said solemnly.

Tan Fei and his men requisitioned a small boat from the shore and rowed towards Zhang and Wu.

Zhang and Wu stopped rowing and waited patiently for Tan Fei and the others to arrive.

Zhang Jianyun took the Thunder God Sword from his back and uncovered the cloth covering the sword.

"What kind of sword is that?" Old Wu asked, frowning.

"Thunder God Sword," Zhang Jianyun said, gripping the hilt.

"Don't use this sword too often, its sword intent is too evil," Old Wu said.

"I don't plan to use it often," Zhang Jianyun said.

Tan Fei led his men to approach quickly. Zhang Jianyun raised the Thunder God Sword and swung it. A burst of sword energy erupted from the Thunder God Sword, cleaving the sea surface and rushing straight towards the fleet of ships.

boom!

The sword energy instantly toppled several boats, and those who had fallen into the water scrambled to grab onto the overturned vessels.

shhhhhh!

Old Wu and Zhang Jianyun unleashed bursts of crystalline energy to bombard Tan Fei and the others, who in turn countered with their own bursts of crystalline energy.

Boom boom boom!

The crystalline light from both sides collided on the sea surface with a series of loud bangs. The collision generated a huge shock wave that instantly capsized all the ships, and everyone fell into the sea.

puff!

Tan Fei and several men in gray raised their swords and thrust them at Zhang Jianyun. Zhang Jianyun reached out and swung his sword, then swung it horizontally, sending a burst of sword energy across.

boom!

The sword energy instantly blasted Tan Fei and the others away, sending them crashing into the sea!

puff!

Zhang Jianyun plunged into the sea and raised his sword to stab Tan Fei.

Clang!

The two began to fight in the sea, but due to the pressure of the seawater, their movements were slow.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

At this moment, other men in black swam over and surrounded Zhang Jianyun, attempting to kill him.

boom!

In the sea, Zhang Jianyun suddenly swung his sword, the sword energy propelling the seawater and impacting the people surrounding him.

Taking advantage of the tide rushing towards the attackers, Zhang Jianyun kicked off and swam towards Tan Fei with his sword raised.

Clang!

Tan Fei swung his sword to deflect Zhang Jianyun's attack, then leaped upwards, attempting to break the surface of the sea.

boom!

Zhang Jianyun raised his hand and unleashed a burst of crystalline energy, which, along with a stream of seawater, rushed towards Tan Fei.

Tan Fei also unleashed a burst of crystalline energy in retaliation against Zhang Jianyun.

boom!

At this moment, a man in gray also shone a beam of crystal energy at Zhang Jianyun.

call out!

Zhang Jianyun darted towards the sea, both to evade the attack and to get some air.

call!

Emerging from the sea, Zhang Jianyun gasped for breath as he swam away into the distance. He then plunged back into the water, unleashing a barrage of crystalline energy attacks on Tan Fei and the man in black.

Boom boom boom!

Several beams of crystalline light collided in the seawater, creating waves.

Zhang Jianyun swam towards Tan Fei, using his crystal energy to restrain him while preparing to use his divine power to attack him.

Boom boom boom!

shhhhh!

After a burst of bright crystal light collided, Zhang Jianyun and Tan Fei shot out of the sea together.

At that moment, Zhang Jianyun first unleashed three beams of crystalline energy from three directions to attack Tan Fei, and then used his divine power to condense a flying knife that stabbed towards Tan Fei's throat.

Seeing Zhang Jianyun unleash a burst of crystalline energy, Tan Fei also unleashed a burst of crystalline energy to counter it. Due to the surging waves around him, he neither noticed nor expected that Zhang Jianyun would use divine power to launch a flying knife.

laugh!

Boom boom boom!

The two crystalline lights collided, producing a loud bang.

With a hiss, the divine power throwing knife pierced through Tan Fei's throat.

Tan Fei's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the flying knife that had pierced his throat slowly dissipate. He looked at Zhang Jianyun in shock, wanting to remind the others that Zhang Jianyun was a demigod, but he couldn't utter a word. With a splash, his entire body instantly collapsed onto the sea, blood gushing from his throat.

shhhhhh!

The gray-clad men kept attacking Zhang Jianyun with crystal energy. While dodging, Zhang Jianyun used crystal energy to separate the gray-clad men, preventing them from gathering together, and then defeated them one by one.

Chi Chi Chi!

Just like when he killed Tan Fei, Zhang Jianyun used the same method to kill the gray-clad men one by one, and the entire sea surface was instantly covered in blood.

Finally, after killing all the men in black, Zhang Jianyun and Old Man Wu boarded a small boat.

The two were panting heavily. After catching their breath for a while, they tore off their human skin masks. Old Wu took out two sets of clean clothes from his storage ring and changed into them with Zhang Jianyun.

"Young man, you're a demigod with the potential to reach the Sea of ​​History realm?" Old Wu asked as he rowed the boat after changing his clothes.

Zhang Jianyun nodded and rowed the boat with Old Man Wu.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew, kid. These are two completely different paths. How can you have the energy to excel at both? I advise you to give up one path as soon as possible and stick to one path," Old Wu advised.

"Well, I'll think carefully about which path to take." While talking to Old Man Wu, Zhang Jianyun checked the system and found that he had gained 3200 hostility points in the fight just now, bringing his total hostility points to 6470.

"It looks like I'll have to break my promise to Xiong Changhai," Zhang Jianyun thought to himself.

"I advise you not to go down the path of godhood. After all, if you don't become a true god, you can only show off your power in your own divine realm. Your combat strength in the mortal world is far inferior to that of a cultivator," said Old Man Wu.

"Brother, there's only one path to godhood. How much do you know about it? I obtained godhood and embarked on this path in a muddled way," Zhang Jianyun asked sincerely.

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but I do know that gods generally have very low combat power in the mortal world, and they are easily restrained by the power of faith. After all, most faiths are not pure, and too many impure faiths will affect the gods themselves," Old Wu said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianyun fell silent for a moment. Shouldn't the faith of the clans he created using the system be pure?

Just then, bubbles suddenly appeared on the sea ahead, and Old Man Wu and Zhang Jianyun immediately stopped rowing.

"Oh no, we've encountered a sea monster!" Old Wu exclaimed.

Zhang Jianyun immediately gripped the Thunder God Sword, preparing for battle.

Wow!

Just then, a Nightblade Cold Soul Whale burst out of the bubbling sea.

"Humans, do not panic. I am the kind-hearted Little Night," said the Nightblade Cold Soul Whale as it emerged from the sea.

"I saw two people rowing a small boat in the sea, so I came to help," said Nightblade Cold Soul Whale.

Old Wu and Zhang Jianyun exchanged a glance before turning to Nightblade Cold Soul Whale: "What are your conditions?"

"I only need a little bit of your human silver," said Nightblade Cold Soul Whale.

"What do you need the silver for?" Zhang Jianyun asked curiously.

"I will eventually take human form and live in the human world, so I need to prepare some money in advance," Nightblade Cold Soul Whale said confidently.

"We'll discuss how to reply to you," Old Wu said.

"So, how about it, give it a try?" Old Wu asked Zhang Jianyun.

Zhang Jianyun sized up the Nightblade Cold Soul Whale, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's take a gamble. After all, it's getting dark, and we don't know when we'll be able to row to Bitter Land Island. In a bit, you put this small boat into your storage ring, and if the Nightblade Cold Soul Whale tries to dive into the sea, we'll jump overboard."

"Okay, then I'll talk to it."

Old Wu shouted at the Nightblade Cold Soul Whale, "We agree to cooperate with you, but don't try anything funny, or we'll just blast you to pieces."

Nightblade Cold Soul Whale was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Thank you for choosing to trust me, Nightblade. I will get you to your destination as quickly as possible."

"Okay, come closer."

shhhhhh!

The Nightblade Cold Soul Whale instantly swam to the front of the small boat.

The two jumped onto the whale's back, and Old Wu stowed away the small boat.

"Which island are you two humans heading to?" Nightblade Cold Soul Whale asked.

"Just take us to Bitterland Island."

"As for Bitter Land Island, is twenty taels of silver per person too expensive?" Nightblade Cold Soul Whale said cautiously.

"Hurry up and leave, we'll give you fifty taels of silver," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Thank you all, I'll be going now." Nightblade Cold Soul Whale said, and swam off into the distance.

shhhhhh!

The Nightblade Cold Soul Whale carried the two of them for a while, and soon they arrived at Bitter Land Island.

"Thank you for the 50 silver." After reaching the shore, Nightblade Cold Soul Whale said politely.

Zhang Jianyun took out 50 taels of silver and handed it to Nightblade Cold Soul Whale, then went ashore with Old Wu.

The two found an inn and asked for a room to rest.

"Oh, it's you?"

The innkeeper looked at Zhang Jianyun in surprise.

Zhang Jianyun glanced at the innkeeper's assistant, then realized, "It's you! You found a job so quickly!"

It turns out that the innkeeper was the boy who came to Bitter Land Island with him from Hundred Spirits Island.

"Hehe, lucky you, lucky you," the waiter chuckled. "It's such a coincidence that we're destined to meet. Your and your friend's accommodation fee will be waived tonight."

"Do you have the authority to give guests a free meal?" Zhang Jianyun asked with a smile.

"No problem, just deduct it from my wages later," the waiter said readily.

"Thank you, I appreciate your kindness, but you've only just started working, and you'll have many more expenses in the future." Zhang Jianyun said, taking out some silver from his pocket and paying the room fee.

Afterwards, Zhang Jianyun and Old Man Wu went to their respective rooms and went to sleep to rest.

The next day, Zhang Jianyun said goodbye to Old Man Wu and the innkeeper, and found a boat to Three Emperors Island.

Upon arriving at Three Emperors Island, they found another ship bound for the Great Yu Dynasty, and Zhang Jianyun boarded the ship to return to the Great Yu Dynasty.
