Chapter 346: Chapter 156: Wuji Saber Obtained, Jiangshan-like Sword Intent (Please Subscribe)

Xu Qing paced back and forth, deep in thought, and before he realized it, a quarter of an hour had passed.

In this quarter of an hour, Gu Wuji felt as if he had experienced twenty long years. He couldn’t help but feel that his heroic vigor was waning.

He never imagined that one day he would find himself in such a wretched and anxious state.

Those who practice martial arts claim to view life and death lightly.

Yet, when that day truly comes, they value it more than anyone else.

Time trickled away slowly.

Gu Wuji didn’t know how long he had been dwelling in melancholy and worry, his mind nearly numbing.

Xu Qing stopped walking.

For Gu Wuji, who felt as if he was enveloped in prolonged darkness, the first ray of dawn couldn’t arrive soon enough, and he eagerly asked: "How is Xu Jieyuan, can I still be cured?"

Xu Qing nodded, "You can be cured indeed, but it will take some time. And I advise you, Sect Leader Gu, Innate Finger is profound and enigmatic, and it is not something you can control."

Gu Wuji quickly nodded: "I was overconfident..."

His face was filled with regret, and he couldn’t help but feel envious of Xu Qing; when he practiced, he encountered issues, but why didn’t Xu Qing?

Sigh...

Xu Qing waved his hand, interrupting Gu Wuji’s regrets and complaints, and continued: "Sect Leader Gu, let’s not beat around the bush. I can save you, but in return, I want the Wuji Saber."

They were both well versed in the games of the world, no need to play the fox; furthermore, Xu Qing had already completed his preliminary maneuvering and had virtually intimidated Gu Wuji, so he directly got to the point.

This statement also dispelled Gu Wuji’s doubts.

If Xu Qing had not named his price, Gu Wuji would have been even more suspicious.

But... this was... the Wuji Saber.

Gu Wuji’s face showed struggle.

Xu Qing did not pressure him, but sat in the main seat, slowly savoring his tea.

As Gu Wuji struggled and his emotions fluctuated, the chill surged again and his Qi-Blood spun out of control, his expression twisted as if he had fallen into the freezing hells.

At this moment, how could Gu Wuji be reluctant to give up the Wuji Saber?

A martial artist is human too, and when ill, the pain and fear amplify, naturally weakening one’s defenses.

Moreover, Gu Wuji understood very clearly.

With Gu Wuji of True Gang Sect, the Wuji Saber is a holy object of the sect.

Without Gu Wuji, the saber would quickly become someone else’s possession.

If you can’t preserve your martial arts, you can’t preserve your life...

"I agree," Gu Wuji said, relieved.

Letting go of possessions while still alive still leaves the chance to regain them.

Xu Qing slowly nodded his head.

Next was healing Gu Wuji’s injury, which was on his Divine Soul; not too troublesome yet not too simple either, and Xu Qing intentionally dragged out the time.

Firstly, once Gu Wuji was healed, who knew if he would turn unpredictable; secondly, a living Refining Internal Master at the stage of Spirit and Body Integration delivered himself to Xu Qing, worth a closer inspection.

Gu Wuji had no choice but to temporarily reside close to Xu Qing in Jinhua Prefecture.

Duke Wei naturally heard about this, and sent people to inquire in between. Gu Wuji found excuses to fend them off, adamantly denying any allegiance to Xu Qing.

Duke Wei didn’t press too hard.

Firstly, all disciples of True Gang Sect were at Tiger Roar Villa, and secondly, Duke Wei couldn’t conceive of any advantage Gu Wuji would have in allying with Xu Qing.

After all, doing so would grievously offend Duke Wei Mansion, becoming one who is forsaken by the worldly society, destined to be spit upon by those in the Jianghu.

Presently, Duke Wei’s influence was not something Xu Qing could compete with.

If it weren’t for the support of the Court’s Central authority behind Xu Qing, Duke Wei could force Xu Qing to flee overseas or elsewhere with a price, causing all Xu Qing’s foundation to dissipate like smoke.

Of course, in that case, Xu Qing would become an outlaw, an even greater threat to Duke Wei Mansion.

Even the powerful court, when faced with a Tusi who dares to rebel and has the means to do so, tends to appease first and foremost.

...

...

Soon it was the first lunar month, and on Gao Gongyuan’s side, he was always on the Navy Ship, observing the timing.

Ready to set sail at any moment.

After Xu Qing acquired the Wuji Saber, he spared no moment in comprehending the saber technique.

His Five Thunders Saber Technique, which was derived from the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber, found the Wuji Saber to be an immense boost.

On the other side, Mr. Wu took great interest in Gu Wuji, the great master, and sought to befriend him.

Although Sect Leader Gu had the arrogance of a Refining Internal Master, he did not dare to neglect an imminent high-ranking official like the Imperial Censor.

What’s more, Mr. Wu’s future might not just stop there.

Having learned literary and martial arts, one offers them to the emperor’s household.

If unable to sell to the emperor, then to the nobles and dignitaries, it has been so since ancient times.

With Gu Wuji by Mr. Wu’s side, Xu Qing was also assured.

After all, Gu Wuji was still a traditional figure of the Jianghu.

Ultimately, True Gang Sect is a branch of the Quanzhen Dao; leaning on the powerful and influential has always been the custom passed down by their ancestors.

And not only was Quanzhen Dao like this, most Daoist authorities in the world hope to attach themselves to the power, to make their teachings the celebrated doctrines.

...

...

That day, after treating Gu Wuji’s injuries as usual, Xu Qing took the Wuji Saber and went down to the seaside of Jinhua Prefecture to cultivate; not far away were the ships of Jinghai Guard.

He first secured the saber and approached the edge of the seawater.

Suddenly, Xu Qing took a deep breath, holding it in his mouth, then with a movement of his Adams apple, swallowed it down, and as his internal organs and intestines writhed, they emitted a huge Thunder Sound.

Each sound, carrying an ineffable rhythm of mystery.

This was the mental method of Heavenly Gang Wuji Skill combined with Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.

The way he held that breath was very meticulous, similar to the effects of the Taoist Frog Hooking Skill.

Or rather, the mental method of Heavenly Gang Wuji Skill was originally derived from the Daoist Frog Hooking Skill. After all, the founder of Quanzhen, Chongyang Zushi had adopted strengths from various schools; naturally, this would be reflected in the Daoist lineage.

With the Absolute Focus of the bronze mirror and his powerful Divine Soul, Xu Qing, with his understanding of Martial Arts, incorporated Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, and though it might not be as subtle and pure as the pure Daoist Frog Hooking Skill, the effect was even better.
