Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"Mountains and rivers, myriad kingdoms~ Mountains and rivers, myriad kingdoms~"

Zhuge Yang kept repeating these words, as if he were possessed.

After a long time, Zhuge Yang returned to normal.

"Good lad, I didn't expect your sword intent to be so unique. I've decided, I'll sell you a precious sword."

"Thank you, Master." Zhang Jianyun was overjoyed.

Seeing this scene from afar, the shrunken cicada Feifei hurriedly flew out of the manor and flew towards Rabbit Qiqi and Ox Weiwu, who were hiding in the distance.

"Does Zhang Jianyun possess sword intent?"

Upon hearing Chan Feifei's report, Tu Qiqi was greatly alarmed.

"Yes, Zhang Jianyun displayed his sword intent, which shocked Zhuge Yang, and that's why Zhuge Yang agreed to sell him a precious sword," Chan Feifei repeated.

"No wonder Master let us out," Rabbit Seven-Seven said in realization.

"Zhang Jianyun possesses sword intent. If he were to use the Thunder God Sword again, we would be no match for him."

"What should we do then?" Niu Weiwu asked, scratching his head.

"The only way is to steal it, either his Thunder God Sword or the divine pearl he obtained," Rabbit Seven said.

"I told you I wouldn't be a thief anymore, now it's your turn to steal," Chan Feifei said, dissatisfied.

"We'll see when the time comes," Rabbit Seven said.

Inside the manor, Zhuge Xiang led Zhang Jianyun to the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

"These thirteen swords are the treasures I've forged over the years. Choose one."

Looking at the thirteen swords hanging on the wall, Zhang Jianyun observed for a long time before choosing a golden longsword.

"You have a good eye. This sword is called Flying Cloud, and it is one of my most prized swords," Zhuge Yang said.

"Master, I want this sword." Zhang Jianyun said happily.

"Thirty thousand taels of silver, that's the cost price," Zhuge Yang said.

"Thank you very much, Master Zhang," Zhang Jianyun said with great joy, and then took out 30,000 taels of silver notes from his pocket.

"I hope that soon I will hear the stories you create with the Flying Cloud Sword," Zhuge Yang said expectantly.

Zhang Jianyun felt ashamed. He would turn around and give the sword to Zhu Chiyu, but he wouldn't use it to become famous.

Holding the Flying Cloud Sword, Yuan Xiaoyin and Zhu Xuanyan immediately followed after leaving the Hidden Sword Manor.

"Did you buy the sword?" Yuan Xiaoyin asked, staring at the Flying Cloud Sword.

"I got it." Zhang Jianyun nodded with a smile.

"Then let's go back quickly," Yuan Xiaoyin said excitedly.

The three quickly mounted their horses and returned to Houhai City.

Giddy up! Giddy up!

The three of them galloped forward on horseback, only to hear the sound of hooves behind them.

The three looked back and saw a cloud of dust coming from behind them.

With a bad feeling in his heart, Zhang Jianyun suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, as did Yuan Xiaoyin and Zhu Xuanyan.

Giddy up! Giddy up!

Before long, ten men rode over and surrounded Zhang Jianyun and his two companions.

"Brother, my boss has taken a liking to that sword you bought from Hidden Sword Manor. Name your price and sell it to us." A burly man with a thick beard shouted at Zhang Jianyun.

"Please leave. We will not sell swords," Yuan Xiaoyin said fiercely.

"This little vixen is a bit spicy; she's the kind of woman my brother likes."

"You little vixens, don't even think about leaving if you don't sell."

The men around Yuan Xiaoyin started making suggestive remarks, and some even went so far as to harass Zhu Xuanyan as well.

"I will not sell the sword, please do not block the way," Zhang Jianyun said calmly.

"Money is no problem. My boss has plenty of money. Just ask," the bearded man said confidently, thinking he had Zhang Jianyun under his thumb.

"Don't make me waste any more time, please move aside," Zhang Jianyun said calmly.

The three demons, Rabbit Seven and Seven, who were following behind and witnessed this scene, were overjoyed and looked forward to seeing that these men had real skills and could fight Zhang Jianyun to a standstill.

"So you're not going to accept the toast?" The bearded man's face immediately turned cold.

hiss~

Zhang Jianyun pulled on the reins, and the horse neighed and began to move forward.

"Stop him!"

The bearded man gave the order, and the burly men in front of Zhang Jianyun drew their knives one by one, their expressions turning fierce.

drive!

Zhang Jianyun spurred his horse forward and drew his Flying Cloud Sword at the same time.

Let these brutes before me be the souls of the one and only time I used the Flying Cloud Sword.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

He rushed forward and clashed with the burly men, brandishing his sword.

blah blah blah!

With a few swings of his sword, Zhang Jianyun knocked several burly men off their horses.

Clang!

The bearded man rushed over and attacked Zhang Jianyun with his knife, but Zhang Jianyun blocked it with his sword.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a burst of crystalline light, sending the bearded man flying.

The other burly men, upon seeing Zhang Jianyun unleash a burst of crystalline energy, instantly stopped their attack, glanced at Zhang Jianyun in fear, and then tacitly turned and fled together.

"You looked so cool when you unleashed that Crystal Power Light just now," Zhu Xuanyan said, somewhat infatuated.

Hearing this, Yuan Xiaoyin felt inexplicably annoyed.

After defeating the group of burly men, Zhang Jianyun and his two companions continued their journey and soon returned to Houhai City.

Upon arriving at the Zhu residence, Zhang Jianyun came to find Zhu Chiyu with the Flying Cloud Sword.

Zhu Chiyu was somewhat shocked to see that Zhang Jianyun had actually obtained the sword from Cangjian Manor.

"Uncle Zhu, this is the Flying Cloud Sword I bought from Hidden Sword Manor. Are you satisfied with it?" Zhang Jianyun asked cautiously.

After taking the Flying Cloud Sword, Zhu Chiyu examined it for a long time before saying, "A fine sword, truly a fine sword."

"Is Uncle Zhu satisfied?" Zhang Jianyun asked, seizing the opportunity.

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied," Zhu Chiyu said with a loud laugh.

Yuan Xiaoyin and Zhu Xuanyan were also happy for Zhang Jianyun when they saw this.

"Father, since you are satisfied, then please give the Divine Pearl to Zhang Jianyun quickly," Zhu Xuanyan said.

Zhu Chiyu, who was originally overjoyed, glared coldly at Zhu Xuanyan upon hearing her words, saying, "My daughter is really outgoing."

"Wait here, I'll go get the divine pearl."

Although Zhu Chiyu was unhappy that Zhu Xuanyan was siding with outsiders, he still went to retrieve the divine pearl as promised.

It was a blue box containing the divine pearl. Zhang Jianyun took the box, opened it, and saw a blue pearl inside.

"This is the Frost God Pearl, which is said to have the power to freeze everything," Zhu Chiyu said somewhat dejectedly. He bought the pearl for two reasons: first, to admire it, and second, to fantasize about one day obtaining the Wind God Sword or the Thunder God Sword.

After taking the box, Zhang Jianyun also took out 100,000 taels of silver notes and gave them to Zhu Chiyu.

Having obtained the Frost God Pearl, Zhang Jianyun quickly took down the Thunder God Sword and placed the pearl into the hilt.

call out!

With a swing of his sword, Zhang Jianyun unleashed a pillar of ice.

"Such powerful energy!" Zhang Jianyun was incredibly excited as he felt the freezing power transmitted from the divine pearl to the sword.

Zhu Chiyu looked enviously at Zhang Jianyun, who possessed the Thunder God Sword and had obtained the Divine Pearl.

The Zhang Jianyun standing before me seemed to be exactly the person I wanted to be when I was young.

"It's noon now, why don't you have lunch before you go back?" Zhu Chiyu said.

"Then I shall gladly accept your offer," Zhang Jianyun said cheerfully.

After lunch, Zhang Jianyun and Yuan Xiaoyin said goodbye to Zhu Chiyu.

"Xiao Yin, remember to come visit me often." Zhu Xuanyan held Yuan Xiaoyin's hand, talking incessantly, reluctant to let Yuan Xiaoyin leave.

"Sister Yan, you must come to Chundao City to see me often," Yuan Xiaoyin said reluctantly.

At this moment, Zhu Chiyu handed the Flying Cloud Sword to Zhang Jianyun.

Under Zhang Jianyun's puzzled gaze, Zhu Chiyu said, "Zhuge Yang won't sell his precious swords easily. In all these years, he has only sold two swords. This is your third."

"You should take this sword; it's a gem that's been wasted in my hands."

"This~"

"Take it~"

Zhu Chiyu handed the sword directly to Zhang Jianyun, then turned and left.
