The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 70 - Ling’er, I’m Back!



Chapter 70 Ling’er, I’m Back!



“What should I do?”


Ye Xuan had no expression. His mind was buffeted by different thoughts.


He knew that in this situation, the more panic he was, the faster he would die!


When he was about three hundred meters away from the ground, he suddenly wielded his Ling Xiu Sword. He held the sword firmly with both of his hands. “Big brother, my life and death totally depend on you.”

When his sound fell, the Occult Qi in his body flooded into the Ling Xiu Sword through his hands.


In the air, Ye Xuan roared, “Fucking let me ride you and fly!”


However, the Ling Xiu Sword only trembled a little but failed to fly...


Ye Xuan didn’t give up but he continued urging the Ling Xiu Sword madly. Because giving up now was the same as leaving himself to die!


“Control the sword! Harness the Qi... Harness the Qi to control the sword...”


Ye Xuan’s thoughts flew, after a while, he suddenly loosened his hands. The sword in his hands immediately turned into a streak of Sword Light and then shot out.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan was ecstatic. However, the Ling Xiu Sword seemed to have no intention of turning back. It continued rushing toward the distance!


Ye Xuan was greatly shocked in his heart. In a hurry, he shouted to his sword, “Come back!”


His voice faded, and he slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he felt some connections between himself and the Ling Xiu Sword. He quickly actuated the Sword Qi in his body...


When he was dozens of meters away from the ground, the Ling Xiu Sword suddenly flew back to him like a bolt of lightning. He instantly clasped the Ling Xiu Sword in both of his hands. Now he was only a dozen meters away from the ground!


Just when he was about to hit the ground, the Ling Xiu Sword suddenly trembled fiercely. In the blink of an eye, it suddenly dragged Ye Xuan up into the sky. However, it fell from the sky with Ye Xuan after flying only a dozen meters up!


Soon, on the ground...


“Pow!”


Ye Xuan hit on the ground with his sword. The whole ground trembled fiercely, and countless dust flew up to the sky!


However, Ye Xuan was laughing like mad!


Just now, the Ling Xiu Sword dragged him up to the sky, which defused all the power of crashing down from the sky. And with his strong physical body, he was able to withstand the impact force of falling from dozens of meters above the ground. Though it was a little uncomfortable, it was not fatal!


The most important thing was that he actually happened to comprehend the way of controlling the sword at this crucial moment of life and death!


He comprehended it by himself!


“Control the sword!”


“Control the sword by harnessing the Qi!”


After laughing for a while, Ye Xuan seemed to think of something. He quickly climbed up and ran toward the distance. Before long, he ran into a jungle, and then he hid himself in a tree!


Ye Xuan looked up at the sky and his eyes gradually cooled down!


“Why would anyone attack the Cloud Ship of Drunken Fairy Building by surprise?”


“Who dared to do something like this?”


At this moment, his first thought was Cangmu College!


“In the whole Jiang Country, only Cangmu College dared to do this. But why did Cangmu College do this?”


At this moment, a flow of Qi suddenly appeared in the distance. As Ye Xuan noticed this, his expression slightly changed and he quickly jumped down from the tree. He crouched on the ground, and immediately a tiny “earth” character appeared between his eyebrows.


The Rule for the Tao!


Ye Xuan lay on the ground. At this moment, by making use of the Earth Power, it looked like that his whole person was merged with the ground. The scent on him was also covered up by the smell of the ground!


Not far away, an old man and a woman appeared.


Seeing the two persons, Ye Xuan’s look suddenly became ferocious. He knew them. They were Bei Chen and Mo Song, the Associate Dean of Cangmu College!


Mo Song glanced around and then whispered, “Why is there no his body?”


Behind him, Bei Chen said in a deep tone, “Master, you don’t need to do that at all. I’m sure I can kill him in the future competition!”


Mo Song shook his head. “You don’t know that according to our research, we learned that he is not an ordinary person. He is not merely an expectant Sword Master, but also an expectant Martial Arts Master. In addition, it is said he killed a steward on the Cloud Ship of the Drunken Fairy Building. But the Drunken Fairy Building didn’t pursue his responsibility... When you fought with him in the Frontier Mountain, he had already reached the Qi Harnessing Realm. But at the time when he was in the Imperial Capital, the strength he showed was hardly comparable with yours. It can be seen that his strength could grow to a higher level in such a short time...”


Speaking of this, he looked at Bei Chen and whispered, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s only that Cangmu College must win the competition. There mustn’t be the slightest slip. Cangmu College has maintained its great reputation for a thousand of years such that we must try our best to defend its reputation.”


Bei Chen was silent without a word.


Mo Song added, “Don’t think too much. The college has absolute confidence in you and Fen Jue. It’s just that Ye Xuan is really a little mysterious. He may have the legendary sword body. If we allow him to develop, he will become the greatest enemy of Cangmu College. Now he goes out alone and National Warrior An has also left Jiang Country. It’s exactly the best time to kill him and leave us no future trouble. So I have to do this.”


Bei Chen hesitated, and then said, “Master, but if this thing gets out...”


Mo Song sneered. “Get out? First, no one knows about this. Even if some people guess that this thing is done by Cangmu College, who dares to blame us? Who dare? In the whole Jiang Country, nobody dares to do that. After waiting for a month or so, people will completely forget Ye Xuan.”


Bei Chen said no more then.


Mo Song glanced around and his brows frowned. “Why isn’t there his body?”


Bei Chen glanced around and then said, “He is only in the Qi Harnessing Realm. So he is unlikely to survive after falling down from such a high place. Maybe he had already been torn to pieces when he was in the air.”


Mo Song nodded. “Alright, that’s all. We don’t need to find his body. Let’s go back to the Imperial Capital! Fen Jue has returned to the Imperial Capital. Given his character, the time when he is back to the Imperial Capital, those students in Canglan College will experience what ‘Life is worse than death’ is. Unfortunately, Ye Xuan is dead. Otherwise, we can let Fen Jue punish him brutally.”


After that, he turned away with Bei Chen and disappeared in the near distance.


On the other side, Ye Xuan’s look turned extremely cold.


Sure enough, the disaster was done by Cangmu College!


Obviously, the strength he showed frightened people in Cangmu College.


“Playing dirty!”


Ye Xuan jumped to the ground. He looked up with undisguised killing intent in his eyes. “Fucking wait for me to revenge when I get back!”


Of course, he was quite annoyed in his heart. “This time, if it wasn’t for that I comprehended how to control the sword by harnessing the Qi at the crucial moment of life and death, I’m afraid that I’m already a puddle of muddy flesh now!”


Nevertheless, this disaster did serve as a wake-up call for him. These forces in Imperial Capital might be much more despicable than the small forces in Qing City!


In order to achieve their purposes, these aristocratic families and colleges could use every means in their power!


Ye Xuan retracted his thoughts. After a break, he got up and ran toward Frontier City.


Of course, he couldn’t run all the way to the Imperial Capital which was too far away. If he ran to the Imperial Capital, it would be half a month later when he arrived!


In the mountains, Ye Xuan ran wildly all the way with the Ling Xiu Sword suspending in front of him!


He found that he couldn’t yet ride on it and fly. Feeling a little overwhelmed, he didn’t know what he could do. However, he could wield the sword now!


In the future, he could wield his sword to fight against his enemies!


For him, it was another killing skill, a very powerful one! As for riding on the sword to fly, he could only let it go!


The Frontier City!


In the tent of Jiang Jiu, an old man suddenly rushed into the tent, and then he stuttered, “Your Highness, Ye, Childe Ye’s Cloud Ship was wrecked!”


Upon hearing the news, Jiang Jiu abruptly looked up at the old man. “What do you mean?”


The old man said in a deep voice, “The Cloud Ship suddenly broke to pieces... The reason is not yet clear, but it should be deliberate! It’s still...”

Jiang Jiu suddenly interrupted the old man’s words. “What about him?”


The old man hesitated, then shook his head. “I don’t know if he is alive or dead, but falling down from such a high place...”


“Pow!”


The table in front of Jiang Jiu was instantly smashed by her. She looked extremely angry. “What a damn Cangmu College! Go to hell!”


The old man glanced at Jiang Jiu. “Your Highness...”


Jiang Jiu suddenly looked up at him. “Send out a hundred cavalries. You must find him for me, by all means!”


The old man nodded, then turned around and left!


In the tent, Jiang Jiu took out the golden card and looked at it with an extremely cold look. “If you die, I will definitely make Cangmu College pay for it in the future.”


Speaking of this, she got up and went out of the tent. She looked up at the distant sky. “No, you can’t die... Please stay alive...”


She tightly clenched her right hand until her nails were deep into the palm...


...


At night, Ye Xuan quietly returned to the Frontier City. He wore a black robe now which completely covered his appearance up.


He didn’t go to Jiang Jiu. Now he, for the sake of safety, didn’t want to expose himself.


Once again, he came to the Drunken Fairy Building and quietly bought himself a Cloud Ship ticket.


After one hour, a Cloud Ship slowly took off from the Frontier City and soon it disappeared into the distant night!


On the Cloud Ship, inside a common room.


Ye Xuan locked the door and entered the Prison World Tower.


Practicing the sword!


This time, he was not practicing the sword skill, but he was practicing how to control the sword by harnessing the Qi!


In the first layer of the Prison World Tower, a sword flashed across the field in wild disorder. Sometimes it would suddenly fall down in the middle of flying, or it would pause all of a sudden.


Obviously, he was not very experienced in controlling the sword. But it meant nothing to him because if he was not skilled enough, he just needed to practice more!


After a day and a half, the Cloud Ship was getting closer and closer to the Imperial Capital.


Ye Xuan still stayed in the tower, practicing in madness. His talents and understanding were all pretty good. Gradually, he slowly got some knacks and then he could wield the Ling Xiu Sword more and more smoothly...


After four hours, the Cloud Ship was getting closer and closer to the Imperial Capital. Looking from the Cloud Ship, Ye Xuan could already see the outline of the Imperial Capital.


The Imperial Capital.


In front of the Canglan Hall in Canglan College.


Ye Ling sat on the stone steps, holding a little figurine in her hand. This little figurine was Ye Xuan.


Looking at it, Ye Ling whispered a sigh. She raised her head to look at the foot of the mountain and said, “Brother, I miss you.”


Each day, she would come to sit here for two hours to wait for Ye Xuan!


At this moment, Ji Anzhi suddenly came to Ye Ling’s side, and Ye Ling looked up at her. “Sister Ji, are you hungry again?”


Ji Anzhi shook her head. She sat beside Ye Ling. She glanced at the wooden figurine in Ye Ling’s hand. “Is it your brother?”


Ye Ling nodded with her little head. “My brother carved it. Is it very handsome? Hee hee...”


Ji Anzhi was about to talk. Suddenly, she looked up to somewhere not far away. A man strolled toward them with a dozen people.


The man and the dozen people were all students from Cangmu College!


When Ji Anzhi saw the man who took the lead, her face suddenly changed!


“Fen Jue!”


The man in front of them was Fen Jue. He and Bei Chen were called the two marvels of Cangmu College!


Fen Jue cast a look at Ji Anzhi. “Where is Ye Xuan?”


Ji Anzhi slowly got up. “He is not here.”


Fen Jue squinted his eyes. “When I was away from the Imperial Capital, people from Canglan College killed students of Cangmu College. How fucking dare you?”


The moment when he finished speaking, he disappeared.


“Sizzle!”


The ground in front of Ji Anzhi was directly cracked!


Ji Anzhi immediately drew her saber and cut!


“Pow!”


As an explosion sounded, Ji Anzhi was directly pushed back into the hall.


Fen Jue was about to attack again. But at this time, a Cangmu College student behind him suddenly pointed to Ye Ling who was not far away and said, “Senior Brother Fen Jue, she is Ye Xuan’s sister. Since his sister is here, he must be hiding!”


Upon hearing that, Fen Jue turned to look at Ye Ling. Ye Ling quickly turned to run. Then Fen Jue suddenly appeared before Ye Ling. He grabbed Ye Ling’s hair and lifted her up abruptly. Ye Ling’s tears immediately dropped down because of the pain.


In the hall, Ji Anzhi suddenly jumped up and chopped at Fen Jue!


This strike could even tear the air apart!


However, Ji Anzhi stopped abruptly and stepped back because Fen Jue lifted Ye Ling up before him to fend off her strike.


Ji Anzhi stared firmly at Fen Jue. “You are so mean!”


“Mean?”


Fen Jue sneered coldly. “Don’t you think that I am afraid of you. I only not in the mood to kill you. Remember, let Ye Xuan come to die in Cangmu College in two hours, or else, there will be one more body added to the path in Cangshan Mountain!”


After that, he carried Ye Ling and turned to walk away.

Behind Fen Jue, Ji Anzhi suddenly said in an ice-cold voice, “Take a little girl as a threat, aren’t you afraid Cangmu College will become a laughing stock of the whole world?”


“A laughing stock?”


Fen Jue turned his head and threw a cold look at Ji Anzhi. “In this Jiang Country, who dares to laugh at Cangmu College?”


With undisguised killing intent in her eyes, Ji Anzhi said, “As a man, you play so dirty. Don’t you think it is a pretty low trick?”


A trace of sarcasm appeared in the corners of Fen Jue’s mouth. “A great man should use every means in his power to achieve his goal. I’m done talking with you. Remember, in two hours, if Ye Xuan who killed the Cangmu College students didn’t come to the path of Cangshan Mountain, he can only come to collect the body of his sister then. He killed the students from Cangmu College, and if he doesn’t come to pay with his life, I will kill his sister!”


After that, he turned around and walked away with Ye Ling.


Inside the hall, Ji Anzhi quickly crushed a Sound-transmitting Stone.


Shortly after Fen Jue and the group of people left the hall with Ye Ling, a figure ran up the mountain from the foot. The person who came was Ye Xuan.


Ye Xuan ran wildly all the way and laughed happily. “Ling’er, I’m back.”
