Yan Gouli collected a lot of sword-forging materials and found a place in the Earth Country to start his life of forging and practicing swords.
The sword that Yan Gouli was refining was not a cultivator's flying sword. It was impossible to refine a good flying sword embryo with these ores. He was only refining ordinary weapons and swords, so it did not take long for him to forge a sword embryo.
Yan Gouli's sword embryo was a version of the Chinese Tang sword. It looked like a sword and a knife. Many people said that the Tang sword was very similar to the Japanese sword, but one Tang sword was a straight sword, and the Japanese sword was a curved sword. In fact, this was not true. Japanese swords also had straight swords, and Tang swords also had curved swords. The essential difference between Tang swords and straight swords was in the blade. The Tang sword's blade was sharpened by a quarter, which was good for piercing armor. The Japanese sword was passed down from the Tang sword, and it was forged with hundred-fold steel. Because of the poor conditions in Japan, it was difficult to break through armor. Therefore, the blade was cut halfway, making it even sharper and more lethal. Of course, while it had great lethality, the Japanese sword was also extremely fragile. When a Tang sword clashed with a Japanese sword, the Japanese sword would definitely lose. The blade would be missing or even broken. In terms of sharpness, the Tang Dao was slightly inferior.
Yan Gou Li Lian's sword was a Tang Sword. It had two sharp edges, and each blade had a quarter of the blade's edge. There were blood stains on the back of the sword, which was good for piercing armor.
Yan Gouli's sword technique was very unique. It was passed down from the Emei Sect (not the Sword Immortal Emei Sect, but a mortal martial arts sect. It was one of the three famous martial arts sects in the Chinese Empire along with Shaolin and Wudang. It was created by the Spirit Master Situ Xuankong from the pre-Qin period.)）The White Ape Sword Art was different from the Yijinjing. It was a sword manual that Yan Gouli had snatched away.
Emei Sect's martial arts emphasized both internal and external cultivation. One had to first cultivate their qi to practice the sword. It was similar to Sword Immortal Emei Sect. Yan Gouli carried his sword pouch every day. He would either climb a cliff and breathe in and out of the sun, or he would find rocks on the mountain to perform sword dance.?
On this day, Yan Gouli was on a mountain peak, breathing in and out the rising sun. He was absorbing a wisp of pure Yang Qi from the rising sun to nourish his treasured sword. Suddenly, a dark cloud rose with a bang in the distance.
"Yes!" Yan Gouli suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the dark clouds in the distance were rising high. It was not man-made. It was obviously caused by something like an explosive talisman.
"Who dares to behave atrociously here?”Yan Gouli was a little angry that his cultivation had been interrupted. He sheathed the sword on his knee and stuffed it into the sword pouch. He jumped down the cliff and rushed in the direction of the explosion.
"Surround them. Don't let them escape.”A few ninjas in reddish-brown, half-sleeved, or single-sleeved clothes surrounded the three ninjas in black cloaks.
"Hand over the information you have.”The ninja in red and brown shouted. There were two overlapping rocks carved on his forehead, indicating their identities. They were ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village of the Earth Country.
"Yaehiko, take this opportunity to bring the information back.”A red-haired, skinny youth said in a deep voice. The wind blew past his hair, and in his eyes, there were circles of folds. The legendary reincarnation eye was the long gate.
"How can you!" The orange-haired Yaehiko was like Naruto, hot-blooded, youthful, and motivated. He had a deep bond with his companions, but he was different from Naruto's carefree personality. He seemed to be very motivated and willing to work hard, unlike Naruto's laziness.
"Zhangmen, how can we abandon you?”Xiao Nan shook his head fiercely.
"Sigh!" A voice rang out.
"Who is it?" Yan Ren and the other two turned their heads and saw a nineteen-year-old youth standing not far away. He was carrying a leather pouch on his back, revealing a sword hilt.
"Which one of you placed the explosive talisman just now?”Yan Gouli said in a deep voice. He also recognized the three youths in the middle who were still Yuren. How long had it been since they last met? They had grown so much. He remembered that when he hired them in the Country of Rivers, they were only fifteen years old. In the blink of an eye, they had grown so much taller. There was really no sixty-year-old in the mountains. It had been a thousand years in the world.
"It's Mister Yan Gouli." The first person to recognize Yan Gouli was not the astute Yahiko, but Minami. The paper flower on her head was still so beautiful.
"Mr. Yan Gouli, leave quickly." Mi Yan's expression turned anxious as he shouted at Yan Gouli.
"Hehe! Seems like you guys know each other. I wonder if he's someone from Rain Hide. Catch him first.”Yan Yin's ninja head laughed evilly. Yan Gouli was carrying a backpack (the sword pouch was long and slung diagonally on his back like a backpack). One look and one could tell that he was a traveler. However, the ninjas never let down their guard. Two ninjas with Kuna in their hands charged at Yan Gouli.
"He isn't one of Yu Yin's people, so don't make things difficult for him.”Yaehiko's expression turned anxious as he spoke to the people of the Rock Sect. However, this only made the people of the Rock Sect. The two ninjas who were charging at Yan Gouli did not stop. The ninja on the right, Ku 'ai, suddenly attacked and stabbed at Yan Gouli.
"Humph!" Yan Gouli snorted and turned his body to dodge the opponent's attack. He pulled out the sword on his back with his right hand, pointed his toes, and turned his body. With a backward slash, a head flew up. The sword did not stop after cutting off the opponent's head. It was aimed directly at the Yan Ren who was charging at him. The Yan Ren was running at full speed and collided with the sword. The sword tip pierced through his chest and came out from his back.
"Yes!" When the tip of the sword pierced into the ninja's chest, Yan Gouli immediately felt that something was wrong. The face of the ninja began to blur and melt like wax. It was an earth clone.
"Help me." Yabhiko said as he took out a handful of Kunai and stabbed it at one of the Iwannins.
"Guo Guo!" Xiao Nan waved his right hand, and several pieces of hard paper flew down from his sleeve. They formed a pair in the air and folded into a four-cornered shuriken, flying toward Yan Gouli with the sound of the wind.
Yan Gouli waved his sword, and the Earth Avatar instantly collapsed into a pile of mud.
"Earth Evasion-Mental Beheading Technique." Yan Gouli heard a cold shout and felt his ankle tighten. He felt empty under his feet and his body sank. The ground beside him rose up like an elevator. The ninja who bumped into his sword just now rose up from the ground. Xiao Nan's paper shuriken flew over and a few drops of blood splattered on Yan Gouli's face.
"Tsk tsk!" Yan Gouli clicked his tongue twice. Little Nan's paper escape was really extremely handsome! As the successor of the Demonic Sect, he would not be frightened by this little bit of blood.
