Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

Upon hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Ishikawa Ken also took the opportunity to speak up.

He didn't seem as confident as before, but he still managed to maintain a semblance of dignity.

Ok.

He is a respectable person.

...

Just then, Zhou Fengliu came out of the room, looking for a drink of water...

He hadn't participated in the boring tour earlier, so when he saw everyone gathered in the central courtyard, he paused for a second, wondering what they were doing there.

"Brother Liu!"

It was Zhang Chulan's sharp eyes that spotted Zhou Fengliu passing by at a glance, and he greeted Zhou Fengliu.

His call drew everyone's attention to Zhou Fengliu, forcing even the casually passing Jay Chou to come over and take a look.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Zhou Fengliu asked casually.

"Mr. Ken is teaching us about swordsmanship... Ryu-ge, would you like to give it a try? I remember your swordsmanship is also very strong..."

Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sword skills?

Come to think of it, it really had been a long time since he had used a cold weapon.

Since he's been using more and more conceptual techniques, he rarely uses a sword anymore; his two short, straight-bladed "Greatsword" and "Thousand-Kill Sword" have been neglected...

...

Back when there weren't so many concept skills, people called each other "sweetie." Now that people appreciate the usefulness of concept skills, they call each other "old hag."

"Kill a thousand times" and "Great sword" are both very supportive.

Hearing Zhang Chulan mention that Zhou Fengliu had some knowledge of swordsmanship, Ishikawa Ken was also somewhat surprised.

After all, during the last mission to escort the demon sword, he had never seen Zhou Fengliu use swordsmanship...

"Jay Chou, so you also have some knowledge of swordsmanship?"

In response to Ishikawa Ken's question, Zhang Chulan began to speak:

"That's because... Brother Liu was famous for his swordsmanship before."

He vaguely remembered the scene during special training when Zhou Fengliu casually swung his sword, cutting half a grove of trees in half...

"I see. To be honest, I really want to see Jay Chou's swordsmanship..." Ishikawa Ken said.

Hearing Ishikawa Ken's words, Zhou Fengliu walked over at that moment.

Seeing that Feng Baobao was still trying to make the flowing light of the sword she was wielding extremely delicate, he also became interested.

"You were just learning this?"

"Hmm..." Zhang Chulan nodded.

Seeing Zhang Chulan nod, Zhou Fengliu waved his hand. As the Qi within his body surged, a gray-white longsword appeared in his left palm under the use of Qi Transformation Horse.

Looking at the decorative stone pillars in the open space not far away, he swung his longsword forward.

As a strong gust of wind swept by, no one caught a glimpse of the streak of light as he swung his sword...

Click—

The sound of a stone pillar falling drew everyone's attention, and Ishikawa Ken's expression changed drastically when he saw the neat cut on the stone pillar.

"this..."

"This is?"

"Bladeless Slash?"

Ishikawa Ken really pulled a fast one this time—he opened his eyes and actually saw the "bladeless" slash at the perfect stage.

The so-called "bladeless" slash refers to a strike where the angle of the blade is perfectly synchronized with the force of the swing, making the blade's gleam invisible before the strike is even launched...

To reach this level, one must have a very deep understanding of swordsmanship.

"This is truly eye-opening..."

Hearing Ishikawa Ken's words, Zhou Fengliu sheathed his Qi sword and casually said:

"It's alright, but I haven't used a sword in a long time... I'm a bit rusty."

"You guys continue, I just came out for a drink of water..."

Zhou Fengliu really didn't intend to put on airs.

After all, at his current stage, there's no need for him to... be on a completely different level of strength compared to Zhang Chulan and Ishikawa Ken.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, everyone heard a "crack" sound, and then a neat cut appeared in the wall of the house behind the stone pillar that he had just chopped off.

And the cut continued to spread until the wall slid down and collapsed...

Boom—

With the sudden collapse of one wall, the houses on that side all crumbled due to the altered structural composition...

"..."

Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.

When the Ishikawa family came out to check what was happening, they were also dumbfounded.

Zhou Fengliu, the person involved, was even more puzzled.

What happened?

obviously.

The house on that side was perfectly fine until Zhou Fengliu swung his sword. Suddenly, cracks appeared, and the house collapsed with a deafening roar before everyone's eyes...

Therefore... there is only one truth.

"Brother Liu...did you do this?" Zhang Chulan asked Zhou Fengliu, who was standing to the side.

"?"

"Slander! This is utter slander!"

"I clearly cut that stone pillar just now, Bilian, don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Fengliu stated that he knew the force he had used in his sword strike just now, and it shouldn't have caused such a significant effect...

"Um..."

After listening to Zhou Fengliu's words, Ishikawa Ken remained silent for a while.

He stepped forward to examine the cracks in the wall, and upon seeing the clean, sharp cuts, a storm raged within him.

That's what Zhou Fengliu achieved with that slash—such a clean and precise cut couldn't possibly have been caused by a natural collapse...

That bladeless slash just now... it actually had that kind of power?

Ken Ishikawa fell into a state of existential doubt.

He had just witnessed Zhou Fengliu unleash a bladeless slash, and that seemingly ordinary slashing motion appeared to be a return to the essence of attack.

He may not seem threatening, but in reality, both his skill and strength are top-notch...

Chapter 529 A Swordsman Who Has Been Training for Two and a Half Years! (Second Update)

Looking at Zhou Fengliu not far away, Ishikawa Ken, who was questioning his own existence, also asked:

"Mr. Jay Chou, if I may ask, how long have you been practicing swordsmanship?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then answered:

"It's been about two and a half years."

"..."

Hearing that Zhou Fengliu only had two and a half years to practice swordsmanship, Ishikawa Ken, an honest man, became even more distraught.

He first glanced at Feng Baobao, who was scratching her face, and then looked at Zhou Fengliu, who had just slashed down their Ishikawa family's house with a single sword strike.

For the first time, he felt how useless his talent was...

What Ishikawa family's once-in-a-century genius...

It's all a lie to kids!

...

That night.

After finishing his business with the Fish Dragon Society, Ishikawa Shin returned home and was momentarily stunned to see the collapse of the west wing of his house.

Is it Hikaiyama trying to steal the demon sword Hirumaru again?

Should we launch a sneak attack while he's not home?

Who knows...

Those shameless guys from Biheshan might actually do it.

"Ken, is it Hiaiyama trying to steal the demon sword Hirumaru again?" Ishikawa Shin asked, looking at his eldest son.

"Father, this is..."

Ishikawa Ken hesitated for a moment, then told Ishikawa Shin the truth.

Upon hearing that this was the effect of Zhou Fengliu's casual sword strike, Ishikawa Shin's eyes showed a confused expression.

Who are you talking about?

"Was this created by Jay Chou?"

"Yes..."

Having received confirmation from his eldest son, Ishikawa Shinya fell into deep thought. He looked at Ishikawa Ken and then said:
