The One-Handed Sword Saint
I wandered around Loulan City in boredom. The people who came and went all smiled and greeted me, a rather good lord! Just as I was enjoying this wonderful world, a burly man in tattered clothes was squatting in a corner and slowly munching on a hard black bread! A rusty longsword was casually poked by him. Perhaps out of curiosity, I walked up to him and looked at him with interest. The burly man was still eating the black bread in his hand expressionlessly!
I casually picked up his sword and said,"Since you carry a sword, it seems that you are a warrior?”
The burly man didn't raise his head and said softly,""I used to be!"
"Oh, why was it before? A warrior like you shouldn't have fallen to such a state!”I continued to ask.
He shook his empty right sleeve and said self-deprecatingly,"Have you ever seen a one-handed swordsman? And a swordsman without his right hand!" Only then did I realize that he only had one hand! But for some reason, I feel that this seemingly down-and-out guy is not as simple as he looks!
I narrowed my eyes and looked at the disheveled man."What's your name? I'm the lord of this place. Perhaps I can give you a satisfactory life!”
The burly man stuffed the leftover black bread back into his clothes and tilted his head."My name is Carlos, and I'm also from the Lolan Empire! But I prefer this kind of life now! I'm not interested in your job!"
Hearing him say that, I immediately laughed."If I remember correctly, ten years ago, the Empire produced a young Sword Saint called Carlos!”" I'm not that Carlos," the burly man said with a smile." I'm just a beggar. A beggar who eats and waits for death every day!"”
"Is that so?" I narrowed my eyes and suddenly waved my right hand, sending a light blue combat energy towards Carlos! The fist stopped half an inch away from his chest! I looked at his calm eyes and didn't have any intention of dodging. I retracted my fist and said indifferently,"Don't you want to explain?"
Carlos looked at me and said," What's there to explain? I'm just a poor beggar. If the lord wants me dead, I won't be able to resist!”
I shook my head and said," Your eyes betrayed you. A calm gaze would never appear on a beggar. That kind of disdain and calmness is not what a beggar should have! I believe in my own judgment. How about it? I want to buy you a drink!”I pointed at the tavern beside me and said! Carlos picked up his sword and followed me into the tavern!
When the waiter saw that it was me, he quickly greeted me with a smile."My lord, welcome. What can I do for you?”I tossed him a gold coin and said,"Rum and some side dishes.”The attendant quickly put away the gold coins and went to prepare! In a short while, the things were delivered! Carlos did not stand on ceremony. He casually picked up a bottle of rum and took a few gulps. Then, he slowly ate the side dishes on the table!
I smiled and said,"How is it? Is this wine to your taste?"”Carlos didn't say anything, but his fans told me that he loved alcohol as much as his life! Soon, Carlos finished the bottle of rum. He shook the empty bottle with a helpless expression. I asked the waiter to bring a few more bottles. I didn't say anything and just stared at Carlos! Carlos put down the bottle in his hand only after he finished the three bottles. "How is it? Can you tell me now?" Carlos asked after finishing his drink.”
"I'm just a beggar. What do you want me to say?”Carlos still looked like a dead duck!
I rolled my eyes helplessly. I don't want anything good to slip away from my hands. That's not my habit! Moreover, I can give you the life you yearn for, the battle, the endless battle! I can see in your eyes that you desire to fight, but I don't understand. What can cripple the right hand of a Sword Saint? Why was he so down and out?”
Carlos smiled bitterly.""I've witnessed the development of Loulan City with my own eyes. I also know that you're General Xi Men Tian's only son! You're a good lord. I don't see greed or cowardice in your eyes! However, some things were better left unsaid!”After saying that, he started drinking and ignored me!
I shook my head with a bitter smile and thought to myself, This guy is actually better at pretending than me! However, didn't this guy indirectly acknowledge his Sword Saint Carlos? I smiled and said to Carlos,"That's right. Let the past be the past! How about it, Mr. Carlos? I want to invite you to join our Ximen family!”
Carlos blinked and sneered,""Sorry, I'm not interested! Although my life as a beggar isn't very good, I've been living a carefree life. I don't want to join any big family!”
This fellow really doesn't listen to persuasion or coercion. He's lit up my temper in an instant! No, he had to get him into the family! This was a true Sword Saint! "Mr. Carlos, what do you like?" I will satisfy you here!”
"Wandering!"
"Uh ~~~ This is not a good idea! When will my wandering days end!”
"This is none of your business!"
......
I gritted my teeth and roared,"Tell me, what can I do to make you join our Ximen family!"”
"Defeat me. Although I'm a beggar now, I have to be worthy of my sword!”Carlos matte his rusty longsword and said.
F * ck you, you're a Sword Saint! Defeat you? If I could defeat you, I would have beaten you to a pulp! Do I still need to argue with you? Damn it, I don't believe it! Even if you are a stubborn stone, this young master will still make a hole for you!
"Mr. Carlos, how about we make a bet? If I win, you'll join my Ximen family. Of course, I won't restrict your freedom! If I lose, I'll let you drive without saying a word. I, Ximen Yu, am a man of my word!”As I spoke, I was thinking about how to scheme against this Sword Saint who was indifferent to fame and fortune!
Carlos raised his head and looked at me."Alright, what do you want to bet?"
I curled my lips and said cunningly,"How about this, you suppress your battle energy to the level of a grand swordmaster, and we'll fight! If you can't hit me in an hour, I'll win. How about that?”
Carlos stared at me for a long time before nodding! To be honest, even if Carlos only used the power of a Great Swordsman, it was still very terrifying! Not only did he have a wealth of battle experience, but he also had an understanding of battle energy that others could not achieve! Warriors of the same level were not even worth mentioning to him!
I brought Carlos to the training ground. Perhaps it was just built, but there was no one inside! "What do you think of this place?" I asked Carlos.”
Carlos looked around and nodded.""Alright, let's start now!”After saying that, he raised his sword and stood 30 steps away from me! This was the standard distance for a duel between a warrior and a mage! Only a confident warrior would do this!
I pinched my nose and chuckled."Then let's begin!" He said that the Levitation Spell that he had cast on himself was suspended in the void! At the same time, I didn't forget to cast a Gravity spell on Carlos! Although the effect isn't as good as I expected, it will definitely cause Carlos a lot of trouble!
Carlos saw me floating in the air and immediately understood. So I'm a Wind Magician! However, when I cast my Gravity Technique on him, he was a little stunned! The word 'dual-elemental mage' suddenly appeared in Carlos 'mind! No wonder he always looks fearless when he sees me! But a Sword Saint was a Sword Saint! Relying on his own understanding of battle energy, he managed to offset most of the gravity and swung his rusty sword towards me!
I saw him charging towards me! He immediately released many Wind Blades to disrupt his attack route! Meanwhile, he sped up and maintained a relatively safe distance from Carlos! After all, Warriors could only glide for a short period of time with their Combat Aura. It was impossible for Magicians to float in the air for a long time! Unless there was a supporting magic tool! However, how could a Sword Saint who was so poor that he was about to become his pants have such a magic tool?
Carlos knew what I was thinking. He knew that if he couldn't force me to come down and fight him face to face, he wouldn't be able to defeat me in an hour! Based on the speed at which I cast my spell, Carlos could basically tell that I was at least a Magic Shooter! If this continued, then he could only choose failure! Thus, Carlos's longsword suddenly surged with battle energy and slashed at me twice in the air. In a flash, he appeared in my path!
When I saw Carlos suddenly appear in front of me, I was stunned! Damn it, this guy was indeed a Sword Saint! He could actually predict my route in advance! But that's good. Let me test the power of a Sword Saint! As I thought about this, I took out a black machete from my spatial ring. I circulated my battle energy and roared as I slashed at Carlos with a ferocious sound!
Although Carlos was shocked that I could use battle energy, it didn't affect the longsword in his hand! The sword that I raised instantly collided with the machete in my hand! "Cha ~~~" A burst of intense sparks flashed and disappeared. I was actually sent flying! He took a few steps back in the air before stabilizing himself, but Carlos still stood there without moving an inch! It seemed that the gap was really not ordinary!
I shook my slightly numb arm and fell to the ground! He pointed at Carlos and shouted,"Carlos, come on!" Let me see if your sword is still as sharp as before!”As he said this, he swung the machete in his hand!
"As you wish!" Carlos pulled his sword with his left hand and clashed with me again!
Bang! Bang! The collision of Dou Qi produced deafening sounds that reverberated throughout the training ground!
Carlos was very shocked. It was the first time he had seen such a sword. It only had one blade, but its power was no less than a long sword. And he had never heard of such a sword technique before! His battle energy is obviously weaker than mine, but he can fight me head-on! Just because I had to come into contact with this kid's sword, I felt numb! This kid was really strange!
Although Carlos was shocked, I didn't feel too good about it! He didn't have any foundation in melee combat to begin with! He could only rely on his senses to fight head-on with him! Although it was a little suspicious that he would kill the old master with a random punch, as long as it was useful, I wouldn't care if it was suitable or not! I made an illusory slash and then condensed all the fighting energy in my body to raise the machete with both hands! The ink-colored machete emitted a white glow!
Was he going to use his ultimate move? Carlos didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly condensed his Combat Energy! The dark blue battle energy on the rusty longsword was like a cobra waiting for an opportunity to attack. Although it looked extremely beautiful, the danger within was imaginable!
When the saber and the sword collided once again, the entire cultivation field was filled with ear-piercing echoes! My knife stopped on Carlos 'head, and the sharp blade immediately cut his long hair into pieces! Carlos, who only had half a sword left in his hand, stood there numbly without moving! It's not that he doesn't want to move, but his limbs are stiff from the electric current on my knife!
It took Carlos a long time to come back to his senses! He twisted his stiff limbs and looked at the half of the iron sword in his hand. Then, he raised his head and asked expressionlessly,"I lost!"
I shook my head with a bitter smile." You didn't lose. It's just that my weapon is sharper than yours!" Moreover, my weapon has additional magic attacks! If you were to display your Sword Saint's strength, I'm afraid I would have already become a dead soul under your sword!”
"The light on your weapon is lightning magic, right? I can feel it! Every time I come into contact with your weapon, I feel numb all over! I didn't expect you to be a dual cultivator! And his level isn't low either!" " Can I see your weapon?" Carlos asked.”
"Of course!" I casually handed over my machete! Carlos took the machete and muttered to himself,""You don't have magical crystals, but you're actually a three-elemental mage! It was unbelievable! What was this weapon called? I've never seen such a perfect weapon in my life!”
"This is called a machete! A weapon specially made for killing! All my cavalrymen are equipped with this weapon!”I patiently explained!
After a while, Carlos returned the knife to me and said righteously,""I, Carlos, keep my word! I lose, I agree to your conditions!”
I nodded and said,"I still have the same words. I won't restrict your freedom!"”
"I have a request!"
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
"I also want a machete. This kind of weapon is the weapon that truly belongs to me!”
"Of course, I have a lot of such weapons. I'll give you a few later! To celebrate you joining my Ximen family!”I took out a bottle of wine from my interspatial ring and started drinking with Carlos! His hearty laughter spread to every corner of the cultivation field!
