At night, Xu Zhutao closed the door and sat on the bed to practice his Internal Strength. After four hours, he walked to the courtyard behind the restaurant. Seeing that there was no one around, he found a straight branch under the tree to make a sword. He practiced until midnight. Just as he was about to go back to his room, he saw that there was no one around.
Suddenly, he heard a woman say," Young Master Xu, you have good swordsmanship. You're still working hard so late at night. You really make me feel ashamed."”
Xu Zhutao turned around and saw Shangguan Wanqian. He said,"Is Young Lady still not asleep?"
Shangguan Wanqian said," I was just about to go back to my room to sleep. When I passed by, I saw that you were engrossed in your training, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Young Master, you won't mind, right?"”Peeking at other sects 'sword practice was a big taboo in the martial arts world. This was because sword practice was different from fighting. Sometimes, one's movements would slow down, and there was a possibility that one's moves and strength could be seen through.
"Rest early, miss. I'm leaving."”
She returned to her room to take her clothes and went to the hotel's special bathroom for guests to take a shower and brush her teeth. Then, she went back to her room to sleep.
The next day, he had nothing to do. When it was time for dinner, he was still in bed practicing internal energy. Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door. She opened the door and saw that it was Shangguan Wanqian and her aunt.
Shangguan Wanqian said," It's time to set off for the Sword Burial Lake. It's about ten miles north. It's almost midnight when we get there. It's time for the treasure to be unearthed."”
Xu Zhutao went to the room next door and called Zhao Yumei over. They each brought their swords and followed Shangguan Wanqian and her husband to the north. There were several pedestrians carrying swords and swords on the road from time to time.
When they arrived at the Sword Burial Lake, they saw that the lake was quite large, about two to three hundred mu in size. The water from more than ten peaks gathered in the lake. Water flowed out from the south of the lake, probably flowing towards the Yangtze River.
On this night, the moonlight was like water. When the first watch was over, there were already four groups of experts surrounding the lakeside. They were careful with each other, waiting for the divine sword to appear. Shangguan Wanqian took the lead and found a bush that was more than ten feet away from the lake. Suddenly, she heard a hoarse voice not far away say,"Third correction, the moon has already reached the middle of the sky. It's time for the treasure qi to rise!”
The stars change, and three times they are corrected. Sure enough, a five-colored light, about a hundred feet long, shot up towards the moon. Suddenly, the five-colored light expanded to over a hundred feet thick and fell down at an even faster speed, disappearing in an instant.
"Eh? Something's not right tonight. Why isn't it rising? Instead, it sank to the bottom of the lake and disappeared?"
"Oh! I'm afraid someone is taking the treasure."
Shangguan Wanqian's heart skipped a beat and she stopped listening. She activated her peerless lightness skill and flew towards the Buried Sword Lake. Suddenly, the surface of the lake rippled and a thin layer of mist rose.
In the center of the lake, a rainbow as small as silk suddenly rose up into the sky. It grew bigger with every rise, and it was as sharp as a dragon as it shot through the sky. The water splashed, and with a few soft sounds, more than ten figures quietly entered the water, swimming towards the rainbow. Shangguan Wanqian, who was wearing a water cushion, also slipped into the water quietly.
In a moment, the waves splashed in the middle of the lake, and figures floated up and down. Before the sword could be found, someone had already started fighting!
Xu Zhutao was afraid that something would happen to Shangguan Wanqian, so he used the peerless Lightness Skill, Wind and Rain, and rushed towards the Sword Burial Lake. A few miserable cries suddenly came from the surface of the water. Clearly, someone had died. The sword Qi rushed into the human blood and suddenly shot down. At the same time, the lake water was boiling, and huge waves stood like a huge fountain. Amidst the rumbling sound of water, a green dragon as thick as a water bucket, about eight zhang long, flew up on the water surface, brandishing its claws and brandishing its claws. The momentum was intimidating.
"Heavens! This is a monster! Qian 'er is finished!" Shangguan Wanqian's aunt screamed and stood up to jump into the water.
"Don't act rashly! You'll die if you go." Zhao Yu grabbed her and said,"Look! Isn't that Miss Shangguan?" As the dragon leaped, a petite figure could be vaguely seen on its back. It was Shangguan Wanqian, who was grabbing onto its back fin and refusing to let go.
The people hiding on the land around them shouted and retreated from the lakeside to avoid the mountain-like waves that were surging toward the shore. Some people were so scared by the dragon that they fled with all their might. The giant dragon danced more and more rapidly, disturbing the turbid waves on the lake surface that was a hundred mu in size. The sound was like thunder.
Suddenly, Shangguan Wanqian, who was on the dragon's back, was thrown fifty to sixty feet high. The dragon raised its head and raised its claws, opening its bloody mouth to meet her. She saved herself in a hurry and shot five silver flowers into the dragon's mouth. As soon as the claws reached her, she suddenly used her inner Qi to slow down the falling momentum. She lowered her shoulders and threw her legs, changing her head and feet, and fell rapidly towards the giant mouth. The sword in her right hand stabbed into the dragon's mouth desperately, and her left hand grabbed the dragon's horn fiercely. She kicked the dragon's head with her slim feet, ready to let go and escape. Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder in the air. In an instant, the waves disappeared. Only the sound of a dragon could be heard. The dragon had already disappeared.
In Shangguan Wanqian's hand, however, was an unsheathed sword that was completely black, with only the two sides of the sword emitting a cold glint. With a plop, she fell into the lake with the sword and hurriedly used her lightness skill to run towards the shore.
As soon as she landed, her aunt ran over and hugged her tightly, shouting,"Qian 'er, let's go!"
"Leave the sword behind!" Someone on the left shouted,"Leave the sword behind!”Someone on the right shouted, and someone behind shouted,"Swords are ownerless objects.”The figures flashed and shouted like thunder as they rushed towards the two. Shangguan Wan 'er's aunt raised her hand and scolded,""Shameless!" The silver sword flashed and clashed with those who tried to snatch the sword.
Xu Zhutao saw that Shangguan Wanqian had obtained the Dragon Abyss Sword and could only sigh as he watched her go ashore in a daze. When the other sword-seeking heroes rushed over, shouting and wanting to snatch the sword, he flew into a rage and quickly rushed over.
He came at the right time. Out of the thirty men, four or five of them fell. The rest swarmed forward, their sabers flashing and their swords flashing. Hidden weapons flew everywhere, surrounding Shangguan Wanqian and her niece. He waved his sword and knocked away the hidden weapons that were like a rain of arrows.
At this moment, Zhao Yumei flew over and protected Shangguan Wanqian and her niece in the middle with Xu Zhutao. Under Xu Zhutao and Zhao Yumei's two long swords 'dense and fierce attacks, more than 20 people who wanted to snatch the swords couldn't get close. These people were all fierce and powerful masters. They were shocked by the martial arts of these two people.
Xu Zhutao suddenly shouted,"Stop! I'll cripple whoever uses hidden weapons indiscriminately again. Try it if you don't believe me.”This roar shook the surface of the lake and caused ripples. It was like thunder in the clear sky. Everyone only felt a buzzing sound in their ears, and their blood and qi sank. They could not help but be stunned.
Xu Zhutao saw the Four Divine Blades in the crowd and said with a smile,""We meet again. Are you also here to snatch the sword?”
Li Shanrong's right wrist meridian was crippled by Xu Zhutao. He hated Xu Zhutao to the core and shouted,""The Dragon Abyss is ownerless.”
An old man in black in the crowd saw that Xu Zhutao was so young and did not believe that his martial arts could be so good. He raised his hand and shot out a Meridian Piercing Bone Nail. A blue shadow shot towards Shangguan Wanqian at lightning speed.
Xu Zhutao had already seen the attacker clearly. He was furious. He used the long sword to strike the center of the hidden weapon and flew back at the same speed as before.
"Ah!" With a loud cry, the old man who had ambushed him fell to the ground and rolled around. Everyone looked over and saw that the Meridian-Piercing Bone Nail had been nailed into the Fu acupoint on his right shoulder, all the way to the nail cap. The Meridian-Piercing Bone Nail was obviously dipped in poison. The old man endured the pain and pulled out the poison nail with his left hand, then hurriedly took out the antidote and swallowed it.
Seeing Xu Zhutao's martial arts skills, the crowd's courage went cold, and more than half of them had the intention to retreat.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the outside. A high-pitched voice said,"The Dragon Abyss was originally an ownerless object, but the divine weapon chooses its master. Now that the Dragon Abyss has chosen this lady as its master, it already has an owner.”
Xu Zhutao looked over and saw two drenched middle-aged men slowly walking over. They were Zong Dai and Lu Qi.
Someone in the crowd seemed to recognize the two of them and said loudly,"It's Lunan Shuangying! They're here too."
Lu Qi said," It's us brothers. We came for the Dragon Abyss. Now that the divine weapon has recognized its master, why don't you stop?"”
Xue Yongxu was frightened by Xu Zhutao's hand just now and knew that if he didn't retreat, he wouldn't be able to gain anything tonight. He thought,"These two people's tone seems to be quite protective of the little girl with the sword. Xu Zhutao is already difficult to deal with, and with the addition of Lunan Shuangying, we definitely won't have an easy time.”"Young Master Xu, you're really good at Kung Fu." He forced a smile and said,"We'll mind our own business. We'll part ways here."”After saying that, he pulled his brothers and left in a hurry.
Someone took the lead and many people who knew that their martial arts were inferior also took the opportunity to retreat. These people who wanted to snatch the sword also knew the principle of the divine weapon recognizing its master. They originally saw that Shangguan Wanqian was only a young woman and thought that she was easy to bully. Now that they saw Xu Zhutao's move and Lunan Shuangying also seemed to be helping the girl, they knew that it was too late to leave. In a moment, more than half of the sword snatchers had left.
"This young master's swordsmanship is so brilliant!”All of a sudden, a crisp and pleasant sound rang out. Someone was walking towards Xu Zhutao and the others. It was a young woman in a black gauze dress with a black veil covering her face. Her face was obscured, but she was walking gracefully. Her figure was graceful, her breasts were full and her waist was slender. When she walked, her breasts and buttocks swayed. Coupled with a pair of slender and round legs, her sexy figure alone was enough to make people's bones melt. Her entire body emitted a mysterious charm. Everyone present could not help but exclaim in their hearts, What a stunner!
She walked to the old man who was rolling on the ground, bent down, and pressed a few acupoints on the old man. Then, she took out a porcelain bottle and threw it to the old man, saying,"Your medicine doesn't work." The sound was so clear, like ice breaking jade.
The woman threw out the porcelain bottle and turned around. She sized up Xu Zhutao and said coquettishly,"This young master is not only very handsome in martial arts, but he is even more handsome! I am Kuang Zhenzhen from the Five Saint Sects. May I know how I should address you?”
"I'm Xu Zhutao."”
Kuang Zhenzhen giggled and looked at Xu Zhutao."Thank you for showing mercy just now, Young Master Xu. The person on the ground is Elder Mushang of our Five Saint Sects. He did not know the severity of the matter and offended Young Master.”
"It's just a small matter. I hope Elder Mu won't seek revenge on me in the future." Xu Zhutao said.”
"Don't worry, Young Master," Kuang Zhenzhen said."He definitely won't dare to seek revenge on you again.”
"Thank you, Miss Kuang." Xu Zhutao cupped his fists. May I ask if you have come here for the Dragon Abyss Sword?”
Kuang Zhenzhen smiled coquettishly and said," Yes. We originally wanted to set up a poison array to poison everyone present and then seize the opportunity to snatch the sword. Now that the sword has already recognized its master, it's not my intention to hurt a good husband like you. Therefore, it would be better to make a few more friends. Would Young Master be willing to introduce everyone here to me?”
"This is my cousin, Miss Zhao." Xu Zhutao pulled Zhao Yu's eyebrows.”She then pointed at Shangguan Wanqian and Shangguan Wanqian's aunt and said,""This is Miss Shangguan Wanqian and her aunt. The other two were Swordsman Lu and Swordsman Lu of the Shuangying Sect of South Lu. They had already introduced themselves just now.”
"I am Kuang Zhenzhen from the Five Saint Sects. Greetings, everyone.”Kuang Zhenzhen bowed to everyone.
There was a commotion in the crowd as they discussed animatedly. Over the past few decades, countless people in the martial world had ended up in a miserable state because they had offended the Five Poison Sect. This was because the Five Poison Sect was famous for their strange poisons, and their methods of using poison were even more difficult to guard against. Moreover, it was said that the Five Poison Sect's methods of revenge were extremely cruel, making people wish they were dead.
Kuang Zhenzhen did not take the commotion of these people seriously. She looked at Xu Zhutao and said,"I wonder if Young Master Xu is married?"
"No, I've just come out to travel the Jianghu, so I didn't think about it."”He did not know that Kuang Zhenzhen was the Five Poison Sect's Sect Master, so he did not understand why there was such a sudden commotion in the crowd. He only felt that this woman's words were too straightforward. She had asked such a question that made him not know whether to laugh or cry on their first meeting.
Kuang Zhenzhen giggled again and said,"Don't you like your cousin's beauty?"”
Xu Zhutao blushed." Of course I like my cousin," he said." But now, I've achieved nothing. So, I don't dare…" Suddenly, he felt a pain in his waist. He knew that Zhao Yumei was acting up.
"Miss Kuang, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll be taking our leave now!"”
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you. If Young Master Xu has time in the future, please come to Miao Jiang for a tour." Kuang Zhenzhen said.”As she spoke, she walked in front of Xu Zhutao and kissed him gently on the lips through the veil. Her movements were so fast that Xu Zhutao was caught off guard and wanted to avoid it, but it was too late. He only felt a chill from his mouth to his throat, and then from his throat to his heart.
No one expected this woman to be so bold. Shangguan Wanqian immediately chided,"Demoness! You're so shameless."
Kuang Zhenzhen chuckled and said," Sister Shangguan, we Miao girls are different from you Central Plains girls. We don't like to be coy. When we like someone, we will say it out loud to let him know. Someone come! Carry Elder Mu back."
Suddenly, four men in black rushed over from the forest far away from the Burial Sword Lake. They moved nimbly and arrived in front of him in a moment of carelessness.
When the people in the crowd who were trying to snatch the sword saw Kuang Zhenzhen summon a few people with a wave of her hand, they all thought that she had many people hiding in the forest outside the Burial Sword Lake. They knew that this demoness was not bluffing when she said that she would set up a poison array to knock everyone down. They also thought that the Five Saint Sects were famous for their strange poisons. No matter how high their martial arts were, it would be difficult to guard against them. Hence, they left one after another.
