Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

"The wind rises over the nine waters!"

Just then, an old voice rang out.

After Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi had fought with Xu Qing for a while, the elders of Tianzong and Renzong, who were a little slower to arrive, finally got there.

Because of the fight, the fog in the central area had thinned to the point of being invisible. After seeing Xu Qing's methods, they immediately recognized his true nature.

The Autumn Waters of Ten Thousand Rivers is a unique skill of the Heavenly Sect.

Within the Yin-Yang School, there is a similar unique skill called Nine Waters Wind Rising, which also involves manipulating the surrounding water flow and water vapor.

The effects produced by both are quite similar, but the methods are completely different.

"Form ranks!"

Seeing Xu Qing unleash "Nine Waters Rising Wind," Chi Songzi sensed the arrival of the six elders of the Heavenly Sect behind him and immediately let out a sharp shout.

If the person before them were Donghuang Taiyi, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, then they would deserve such treatment.

More importantly, the people of the Human Sect were right there.

Chisongzi did not want the Renzong sect to gain the upper hand.

He had taken the initiative earlier, and now that the elders had arrived, he was the first to have his men form a battle array.

Six elders of the Heavenly Sect drew their swords simultaneously, unleashing a dazzling burst of sword light. Following the six directions, they arrived around Xu Qing's body at the same time, attacking him. Chi Songzi also reappeared. When the six were joined by one more person, it was clearly the formation of the Big Dipper.

With the death of the Lord of the Big Dipper, an aura of annihilation instantly filled the heavens and earth.

Six sword lights, drawn by Chisongzi's sword light, instantly rushed towards Xu Qing, and at the same time, the swords in their hands flew out of their grasp.

Controlling the sword with qi!

This is a unique skill that Taoism excels at.

Perhaps in terms of sheer lethality, it is not as effective as the Hundred-Step Flying Sword technique of Guiguzi, which can take a person's head with a flying sword. However, this "sword technique" that uses one's own true energy to manipulate the sword remotely can evolve into endless variations.

As the sword lights flashed one after another, the seven swords transformed into a vast, inescapable net.

A babbling stream flowed past Xu Qing.

They transformed into tiny streams of water, manipulated by Xu Qing, to meet the sky full of sword light. If Xiang Furen, the Water Elder of the Yin-Yang School, were to see this scene, she would be absolutely shocked. The Yin-Yang School's ultimate technique, Nine Waters Rising Wind, had actually been evolved to this extent, directly withstanding the sword formation of the Heavenly Sect Leader and the six elders without collapsing immediately.

But for Xu Qing, that wasn't enough.

Then, blue flames began to emerge again.

The interaction of water and fire gave rise to the chaotic yin and yang.

boom!!

The sword light that filled the sky dissipated at the same time, and the seven swords also stumbled and flew out in the process. Then, under the guidance of the true energy released by Chisongzi and the six elders of Tianzong, they fell into their hands at the same time.

"Your Heavenly Sect is nothing special!"

Just then, a mocking voice rang out. It was not Xu Qing's voice, but that of Mu Xuzi, an elder of the Human Sect.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Could this person be one of our own?

Otherwise, why would you help yourself mock others?

While Xu Qing was pondering, Mu Xuzi also spoke up, saying to the several Human Sect elders beside him, "Form the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation and let these Heavenly Sect people witness the capabilities of our Human Sect!"

Mu Xuzi brandished his sword, and several elders of the Human Sect echoed him, also brandishing their swords.

Logically speaking, with Xiaoyaozi here, it's not Muxuzi's place to give orders.

The problem is that Mu Xuzi's timing in issuing the order was too subtle. It happened just as the formation of the Heavenly Sect members was broken. The Human Sect members were already very dissatisfied with the Heavenly Sect for seizing the initiative. Now that they saw the Heavenly Sect defeated, Mu Xuzi's words struck a chord with them.

The Heavenly Gang Sword Formation was formed instantly, a formation completely different from the sword formation of the Heavenly Sect.

It lacks the intricate variations of the Heavenly Sect Sword Formation; however, the mere flight of a few swords carries with it a majestic divine might.

Unfortunately, it was still useless.

If Xu Qing could break through the sword formation of the Daoist Heavenly Sect, he could easily break through the sword formation of the Human Sect.

Water and fire still surrounded his body, and as Xu Qing swung his sword, a mighty wind swept out the power of water and fire.

Mu Xuzi couldn't dodge in time. His beard was immediately scorched by the flames, and then soaked by the flowing water, making him look disheveled and miserable.

The other elders of the Human Sect fared no better; under the combined force of water and fire, they were all sent flying.

Having lost all face, Mu Xuzi was instantly enraged. He found an outlet for his anger and glared at Xiaoyaozi.

"Xiaoyaozi, what are you doing? Make your move!"

Previously, the Heavenly Sect's sword formation was led by Chisongzi. Logically speaking, their Human Sect's Heavenly Gang Sword Formation should also be presided over by Xiaoyaozi. However, Xiaoyaozi did not take action. This was of course due to Muxuzi's eagerness to show off. But since Muxuzi had suffered a setback, he naturally needed to find a scapegoat. Xiaoyaozi, whom he had always disliked, became the best target for his venting.

Faced with Mu Xuzi's accusations, Xiaoyaozi remained silent, only continuing to brandish his sword.

His expression was extremely serious.

Before joining the Human Sect, he was already a renowned hero in the Guanzhong region.

By chance, he entered the Dao. Because of his experience traveling in the mortal world, he perfectly matched the Human Sect's philosophy of "helping people with the Dao and acting in accordance with the trend". So in a short period of time, he mastered many of the Human Sect's unique skills and became the sect's top master. After the previous sect leader passed away, he became the new sect leader. Even when he was observing the sword at Miaotai, he had to face a master like Chisongzi who had held the Snow Clearing position several times. He had no fear at all.

The outcome of the sword-fighting contest at Miaotai will only be known after the battle.

But today, when facing this person from the Yin-Yang School, he felt a heavy pressure.

They were invincible; their opponent was like an unfathomable abyss.

Even so, Xiaoyaozi still chose to draw his sword without hesitation.

If we dare not draw our swords when facing a formidable foe today, wouldn't we have to admit defeat when we observe swordplay on the Miaotai Terrace in the future?

He pushed the Free and Unfettered Movement Technique to its limit. The sword in his hand moved as if by divine inspiration, sharp and incomparable, instantly piercing through water and fire, and arriving within three feet of Xu Qing.

"!!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, both members of the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect narrowed their eyes.

Then they saw Xu Qing casually catch Xiaoyaozi's sword with his hand.

A jolt ran through him.

The rather impressive sword in Xiaoyaozi's hand shattered into pieces. Then, the broken fragments, drawn by an invisible force, flew towards Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi had no choice but to use his movement technique again to retreat.

It didn't take long for the Taoists to arrive here and end up in this situation.

Although the Taoists were only forced to retreat and were not seriously injured, this situation was still not what they wanted to see. After all, the core experts of the Heavenly and Human Sects were all here, yet they couldn't defeat a single person. This was tantamount to humiliating the Taoists.

Xu Qing, however, paid no attention to the feelings of the Taoists.

With just a few moves, he completely broke through the Taoist's offensive.

He raised the ancient sword in his hand again, and the mysterious runes on the sword flickered once more.

"Congeal!"

Xu Qing spoke, uttering a single word in a low voice.

When this word reached the ears of the Taoists, it was like a thunderclap.

"Condensate what?"

Soon, they understood. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in from all directions, and the mist, which had become thin due to the previous battle, became thick again. However, the thick mist did not last long, because the sword that Xu Qing held above his head was like a vortex, rapidly sucking in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As the primordial energy of heaven and earth flowed into the sword, the runes on the sword disappeared, and the entire sword gained a unique spiritual charm, becoming extremely extraordinary.

This only strengthened the resolve of the Taoists; this was a supreme treasure of Taoism, and they were even more determined to obtain the sword.

If that person weren't around, Xu Qing wouldn't mind playing along with these people.

But now, after the sword was forged, his gaze fell upon the forest on the other side.

"After watching for so long, are you still going to keep watching?"

"Indeed, we shouldn't have continued watching." An aged voice rang out, and a faint, fluorescent light flickered as the figure of an old man quietly appeared in front of the group from the Celestial and Human Sects.

Chapter 278 By order of the King of Qin, I forge a sword here!

"Master!"

"Master Beiming!"

Upon seeing the old man, Chisongzi and the six elders of the Heavenly Sect all addressed him respectfully.

The members of the Human Sect were slightly taken aback when they saw the old man, but they also addressed him with respect.

"Master Beiming!"

The old man was Bei Mingzi, the former head of the Tianzong sect of Taoism. Although he was a member of the Tianzong sect, he was also the most senior person in Taoism today. Although the Tianzong and Renzong sects often fought because of their different ideologies, they were both sects on the same mountain. Both were Taoist sects, just different branches within Taoism.

The people of the Human Sect naturally held Bei Mingzi in the highest esteem.

It's not just because of his seniority, but also because of his abilities.

"You are Bei Mingzi?" Xu Qing's eyes flickered as he looked at the old man who appeared before him with some surprise. "You do indeed have your own unique abilities!"

If Xu Qing had just transmigrated to this world, he might have felt somewhat apprehensive and uneasy facing Bei Mingzi, and would inevitably have been a little nervous.

But times have changed, and he has long since passed that stage.

Bei Mingzi may be very strong, but Xu Qing's sword is not without its weaknesses.

Besides that, he had seen many other similar old men.

He had dealt with many old men, including Chu Nan Gong, Xunzi, and the Six-Fingered Black Knight, as well as the various schools of thought.

"That's right, I am Bei Mingzi!"

Bei Mingzi spoke in a gentle tone, without the affected mystique often associated with Taoist masters.

His gaze fell on the sword Xu Qing held in his hand.

"Is this the sword you forged here?"

"What a powerful sword!"

Upon hearing this, the people from the Heavenly and Human Sects were all stunned. Was this sword forged by the person in front of them? Or was it an ancient sword from the Daoist school that he had found and then baptized?
