Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

He paused, then added, "That...that person said...the first rank of Heaven is nothing special!"

After saying this, he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of angering Zhao Gao.

Surprisingly, Zhao Gao remained calm and did not become enraged.

Chapter 265 Unrivaled in the Seven Kingdoms, His Sword Makes All Bow Down!

"So this is what you call 'first-class under heaven'? It's nothing special!"

After a long while, Zhao Gao finally let out a sigh.

He originally thought that even though Xu Qing had a great reputation in Yan, this was Xianyang, not a rural place like Jicheng. Sending a member of the Luo Wang organization with the "kill" rank would be enough to recruit Xu Qing, which was a great honor for him.

Even though the other party has those defected top-tier Jingni warriors by their side, they are not worth paying too much attention to.

After all, the fact that the Luo Wang organization intervened itself revealed something unusual.

Not long after, Killer was defeated.

Therefore, he sent out the top-ranking official, Tianzi.

Unexpectedly, even the top-ranked student was defeated.

After Zhen Gang was defeated by Jing Ni, Xu Qing's move stunned the entire audience.

Is it true that this "top-tier" title is completely fabricated?

No, it can only be said that the defector Jing Ni is now stronger than imagined, and that sword maniac Xu Qing is even more unfathomable.

Upon learning of these events, Zhao Gao was not angry at all; on the contrary, he thought it was a good thing.

This means that the value revealed by Xu Qing, and Jing Ni who betrayed Luo Wang, is beyond imagination.

Such a person, once joining the Luo Wang organization, will definitely make Luo Wang even stronger.

Similarly, only such people are worthy of his personal recruitment.

"Someone come here!"

At Zhao Gao's command, people immediately came to wait.

"Prepare the carriage!"

Although he was merely the Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office, responsible for the Qin King's carriages and horses, a minor official position, Zhao Gao still wielded considerable influence outside the court because of his control over the imperial net.

……

The atmosphere inside the inn was tense.

Two waves of assassins from the Luo Wang organization have already arrived, ranging in rank from the highest level of the "Killer" class to the highest level of the "Heaven" class. However, even the highest level assassins are no match for Xu Qing and his group.

Therefore, without a doubt, those who arrive here next will be of a higher rank than the first-class Heavenly rank.

Will Zhao Gao come in person?

Of course, there is also the possibility that more elite troops or the army were mobilized to surround and kill them.

After all, anything is possible, and Xu Qing ultimately does not possess omniscience or omnipotence.

While his mind wandered, he continued drinking.

He had been drinking before Zhen Gang arrived, and it seemed that he had drunk quite a lot of alcohol, but that was not the case.

He was sipping his drink in very small, tiny sips.

The reason was that the people from the Luo Wang organization had sealed off the surrounding area, and he had nothing else to do.

To maintain the demeanor of a master, he could only put on this composed and indifferent appearance.

The same is true.

In the hearts of those trapped in the Luo Wang organization, Xu Qing was already like a god or a ghost. Today's battle had left them with a deep psychological shadow.

Equally shocked was Zhen Gang, a first-class scholar.

His wound was still bleeding, but the anger in his heart had quietly subsided considerably.

It wasn't that he had let go of the fact that he had lost to Jing Ni.

It was Xu Qing's subsequent actions that made him see a "mountain," a towering mountain!

The mountain stood before him, giving him a sense of insurmountable difficulty, and he felt his own insignificance.

Time passed slowly.

Xu Qing didn't know how much time had passed, but when he returned to the inn, it was already quite late. After experiencing so many things, the sky outside had gradually darkened.

Xianyang City returned to tranquility.

Unlike other cities in other countries, Xianyang had a clear curfew.

At night, no one is allowed on the streets.

This can also be considered a form of militarized management.

After all, it's dark at night, which makes it easier for bandits and other criminals to appear. Implementing a curfew can better maintain social order.

Just then, a series of light footsteps sounded from the doorway.

"They're finally here! They've been taking forever!"

Xu Qing put down his cup and looked towards the doorway.

He slowly raised his hand.

The assassins from the surrounding network suddenly found themselves able to move.

The same applies to Shinjiro.

The moment he was able to move, Masato pressed on his wound.

Although the bleeding from his wound slowed down during that previous stagnant state, it was still bleeding.

It's fortunate that he has a relatively long health bar; a normal person would have died long ago.

He didn't die, but he fell into a state of extreme weakness.

Several more assassins from the Luo Wang organization rushed forward to help Lord Zhen Gang up in his miserable state.

If he were at his peak, Makoto would certainly not allow his subordinates to do such a thing, but now it's different. This is not the time to be stubborn. He feels that if he doesn't save others and accept help from others, he will really die.

The door opened again.

When the person at the door walked in, they saw Zhengang in a disheveled state.

However, he did not reprimand Masao, believing that Masao was incompetent.

He was well aware of Zhen Gang's abilities. After all, after the reorganization of Luo Wang, every top-tier weapon was extremely precious, and Zhen Gang was one of the most useful.

The fact that Zhen Gang was able to end up in such a sorry state shows that his opponent was quite powerful.

"As expected of the Sword Madman who is famous throughout the Yan Kingdom!"

"As expected of the former top-ranking Heavenly Beauty, Jing Ni!"

"Your strength is enough to earn my respect!"

Upon entering the inn, Zhao Gao skipped the pleasantries and went straight to praising Xu Qing and Jing Ni.

As for Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, there are two similar people in the Luo Wang files, but it is not yet certain whether they are the same people. Moreover, even if it is confirmed, that is a matter for the Yin Yang School, and Zhao Gao did not pay much attention to it.

For him, there are only two people he cares about now: Xu Qing and Jing Ni.

Or rather, Jing Ni was merely a secondary consideration; the primary person they valued was Xu Qing.

Through various observations, they came to an unbelievable conclusion.

That is, the former top-ranking Jingni of the Luowang was an appendage of Xu Qing.

This is somewhat frightening.

What kind of abilities does Xu Qing possess that make Jing Ni work for him?

"You people from the Net are really persistent!"

Upon seeing Zhao Gao arrive, Xu Qing felt a strange emotion stirring within him, but he remained outwardly calm and instead took the initiative to greet him.

Zhao Gao first introduced himself, "My name is Zhao Gao. I am highly regarded by the King of Qin and am now in charge of the Net!"

"I know you!" Xu Qing said calmly, without much surprise.

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Gao's lips: "It seems that I am not an unknown person, since Mr. Xu knows me."

"I have injured two of your Luo Wang's top experts. You've come here to demand an explanation?" Xu Qing asked Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "That's not the case!"

"Mr. Xu injured those two because they were ungrateful and offended him. I am here to apologize to him on their behalf."

"So how do you plan to apologize?" Xu Qing asked Zhao Gao. "Let me make it clear beforehand that I don't really accept verbal apologies, because in my opinion, that's the least sincere way to apologize."

"What kind of compensation does Mr. Xu want?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "In this world, some people like famous swords and divine weapons, but I am different. I prefer the ores used to forge divine weapons, and I prefer to personally forge those ores into swords!"

"Oh?" Zhao Gao was somewhat surprised. "You didn't know that Mr. Xu was a swordsmith?"

So, Xu Qing hid herself too well.

Since he set foot in this world, he has forged many swords, but he has never taken the initiative to seek fame.

In the past, in the State of Chu, although the "Nine Swords of Heavenly Inquiry" were forged, they were only given a surname. Others only knew that the swordsmith was "Xu Zi," but no one knew who Xu Zi was.

After all, the Xu family was a renowned sword-making family.

It's possible they're from the Xu family.

During his time in the Yan state, Xu Qing truly rose to fame for killing Lord Yanchun and later for killing Yan Yi on the border.

Ordinary people only see his incredible strength and naturally wouldn't associate him with the swordsmith "Xu Zi".

Xu Qing remained silent and did not answer Zhao Gao's question.

Zhao Gao didn't mind and said, "Since Mr. Xu likes minerals, I will have someone send you a batch of minerals later as an apology."

He wasn't afraid of what Xu Qing wanted, he was afraid that Xu Qing wouldn't want anything.
