Chapter 1366: Chapter 658: Successor Chapter 1366: Chapter 658: Successor Lanjiang Mountain, Pingbo Valley

As the highest tier in Jiejiang City, the Tang Sen family had not only high status but also far surpassed the usual benefits in practical terms.

The training field applied for in the name of Tang Nuannuan was approved within a few days, and it was the most favorable valley in Lanjiang Mountain.

With its private restrictions, spacious area, and even supplies at the level of senior elders treatment, for Xu Chengyuan, it was almost a dreamland for cultivation.

This only further cemented his determination to stand out, for only if this foundation was solid could his descendants have a chance to train in such a rich environment without having to look at others’ faces.

The Eldest Senior Brother of the Five Absolute Sword Sect had already stepped into the door of the third Fusion Realm and would never doubt himself again.

Perhaps this mindset very much matched the sword path that was keen on advancing; he felt that his sword moves were improving at an extremely fast pace. Within just a few months, he had progressed from a beginner to an adept, and his Black Light Sword Intent was almost unbreakable and highly refined.

The speed of deploying the Sword Fusion Technique also greatly increased, which meant that in formal duels, Xu Chengyuan also had the chance to execute it.

Everything was developing towards the best scenario, the intoxicating progress almost made him forget that he was still a man with a mission.

It wasn’t until a day with heavy snowfall that a swath of Crimson Sword Qi pierced through the snow, making Xu Chengyuan realize that some matters he no longer cared about were still greatly regarded by others.

Wielding the sword and commanding the qi, dominating all creatures, the outbreak of Black Light clashed fiercely with the deadly red line, and the aftermath of Spiritual Power pushed back the heavy snow, clearing the sky.

“I thought Brother Chengyuan had encountered some difficulty which is why there was no progress, turns out you were being pampered with good wine and food by the Tang Clan, mouths are short when they feed on others’ generosity, no wonder you couldn’t fulfill Commander’s trust.”

The person wore a red-striped python robe that tightly fit his robust and slender torso, wrapped around his waist was a dark-green python belt, and under the neat short hair were a pair of slender eyes full of jest, a high nose bridge, and slightly thin lips curving into a sneer.

The newcomer was Xu Chengyuan’s old acquaintance, also an outstanding youth swordsman from Middle Ying City, a disciple of the Scarlet Sword Pavilion, Xu Xienan, who shed his mortal body at thirteen and grasped the true intent of the Crimson Sword Qi at sixteen, earning the name Red Scorpion, a sword prodigy.

The two were similar in age and closely matched in their cultivation levels, inevitably leading to some interactions, but being from different sects, they had merely been nodding acquaintances before this.

Facing such humiliation and offense, Xu Chengyuan naturally showed no good face, replying coldly, “How I handle matters does not need others’ pointing and gesturing, and as for the Red Scorpion, what urgent matter brings you to Longzhou instead of staying in Middle Ying City!?”

“Nothing big really.” Xu Xienan landed in Pingbo Valley, flicked off some dust from his fingers, and spoke indifferently, “It’s just that Brother Chengyuan has been dragging his feet, and Commander Xu has grown impatient, so he found a replacement.”

Xu Chengyuan’s expression changed slightly, and before he could even begin to argue, Xu Xienan slightly curved his lips upward, pointed at himself, and continued, “Modestly speaking, this young master is here to take over the mission, so please hand back the Divine Sword Command, Brother Chengyuan, let’s not waste each other’s time.”

“Red Scorpion, are you saying…”

“Heh, the Scarlet Sword Sect is an old reputable sword pavilion in Middle Ying City, numerous powerful figures inside, yet even a brilliant swordsman like myself couldn’t get any generous resources before reaching the Fierce Realm.”

Playing with his slender fingers, Xu Xienan spoke with a relaxed face, “Since it’s a waste everywhere, why not enter the Divine Sword Army. Since Brother Chengyuan doesn’t want the recommendation letter from Commander Xu, this young master will reluctantly accept it!”

Swordsmen with extraordinary talents yet ordinary backgrounds suffer the most, for they clearly could do better but cannot further their skills due to lack of resources.

And the most willpower-draining part is the accumulation of Spiritual Power.

One wonders how many once talented swordsmen got lost in this step, blending into the masses.

Xu Chengyuan naturally understood the urgency and torment hidden behind Xu Xienan’s seemingly indifferent facade, so he naturally wouldn’t stand in the way of other people’s futures.

Reaching into his bosom, Xu Chengyuan pulled out the jade plaque containing the Primordial Sword Command and earnestly said to Xu Xienan, “In that case, I’ll trouble Brother Xienan to take this command back to Dongshan City and convey to Commander Xu that Yun Clan is now the wife of Longxi’s Pride, spending her days with her husband and teaching her son, brewing tea and cooking meals, and has absolutely no connection to the death of the Divine Sword…”

“Xu Chengyuan, are you feigning stupidity or are you genuinely dumb?”

As Xu Xienan reached out to grab a corner of the jade plaque, he couldn’t help but sneer upon hearing the other’s words, “Commander Xu offered such generous terms, did he invite you to Longzhou just to clear Yun Xiu’s name from any connection with the death of the Divine Sword?”

With a disdainful remark, Xu Xienan was unwilling to say more and tried to yank the command away but it didn’t budge.

“What you just said, what does it mean?”

Frowning, Xu Chengyuan said, “The Commander sent me to Longzhou to investigate Yun Xiu’s cultivation, bestow the sword command, and probe her connection to the death of the Divine Sword. This sword command is also just a precaution…”

“Pfft.”

Xu Xienan laughed again, holding the corner of the jade plaque, “It seems you are indeed dumb. That’s a vengeance for the murder of a father, the murder of a father, do you understand? Even if this incident really has nothing to do with Yun Xiu, because she’s linked to the death of the Divine Sword, she must pay with her life!”

He tugged again, still immovable, Xu Xienan frowned, unable to understand what Xu Chengyuan was playing at.

“So, regardless of whether Yun Xiu is suspected or not, this sword command would still be activated, is that right?”

Although he had foreseen this possibility, when it actually happened, it still made it hard for Xu Chengyuan to accept, his voice even becoming stiff.

“Good that you know. My task is to activate the sword command on Yun Xiu, so let go quickly!”

Xu Xienan coldly said one sentence, and the three fingers grasping the command emitted Crimson Sword Qi bursts, assuming the quick and urgent three sword strikes would make Xu Chengyuan release his hold, but the other let the sword strikes pierce through his palm, still firmly holding the jade plaque motionless.

“If that’s the case, then the Primordial Sword Command cannot be handed over to you!”

Xu Chengyuan pushed his right palm forward, and the Black Light Sword Qi suddenly erupted, Xu Xienan hastily retreated, narrowly avoiding it, and landed with a furrowed brow.

“It looks like you really received many benefits from the Tang Family.”

As he stood still, Xu Xienan reached for his waistband, a dark blue python-patterned belt transformed into a Spiritual Sword in his hand, and he said coldly to Xu Chengyuan, “But Brother Chengyuan seems to have forgotten, you’re no match for me!”

“Is that so.”

With his left hand still dripping blood, he picked up the steel longsword from the ground and flourished it, Xu Chengyuan said indifferently, “I was just about to witness Brother Xienan’s ultimate skill again.”

“Utterly foolish!”

Xu Xienan thrust his sword rapidly, the killing intent of the Crimson Sword Intent fiercely intensified by the Spiritual Sword, the “swoosh, swoosh” of the air tearing sounds merged together, and in an instant, dozens of strikes shot out.

Each strike possessed the killing power of a top-grade Yellow Rank Spirit Art, truly ferocious beyond compare.
