Cripple's heart trembled slightly.
Could it be that the Yankang National Preceptor and Yankang Kingdom were so daring that they even wanted to step into such a strange and terrifying place like the Great Ruins and annex it?
However, Old Ma was right about one thing. The Yankang Kingdom was indeed a sect disguised as a country!
The Yankang Kingdom was founded on martial arts and ruled the country with martial arts. Its officials were divided into nine ranks and eighteen ranks, from the National Division and Crown Prince Grand Protector of the first rank to the generals, officials, and professors of the ninth rank. They were all from the martial arts path, and some were even cult masters, sect masters, and sect leaders of other sects.
As for the soldiers of this country, they were all martial arts practitioners who were good at war. They could attack cities and seize territory from the outside and suppress rebellions from the inside. It was definitely an incomparably terrifying power.
When a sect disguised itself as a country and used the methods of a country to govern its own territory, unifying its resources, subduing other sects, and managing all the martial arts practitioners and divine arts practitioners in its territory, using all the sects in its territory for its own use, how powerful and terrifying would that country be?
These few years, Eternal Peace Empire had been expanding continuously. Its territory had become wider and wider, bigger and bigger. It had swallowed up sects like Li River Sect as well as many small countries.
Now, the Yankang Kingdom's territory had reached the border of the Great Ruins and was blocked by the Great Ruins.
What blocked this country was the darkness and strangeness of the Great Ruins. Every night in the Great Ruins, there would be a strange invasion of darkness. Entering the darkness meant certain death, so the Yankang Kingdom didn't dare to enter the Great Ruins.
The dangers of the Great Ruins didn't stop there. There were many strange beasts and strange things happening frequently. It was ominous everywhere. If the Yankang National Preceptor and Yankang Kingdom wanted to invade the Great Ruins, it wouldn't be that easy.
However, the dangers of the Great Ruins couldn't scare the Yankang National Preceptor. Cripple knew this man and understood his personality. After all, his leg was chopped off by him.
No terror could scare him, and no danger could stop him!
He would definitely enter the Great Ruins!
In fact, that man might even be looking at the vast and treacherous Great Ruins!
The village quickly regained its tranquility. The water from the collapse of the small Li River was quickly absorbed by the soil. The next day, the soil was dried up by the scorching sun and became hard.
This time, Qin Mu obtained a sword pouch. It was the one that belonged to Li River Sect's disciple, Qian Qiu. The sword pouch was six feet long and was not big. It was made from the skin of a small crocodile. It had a belt around the waist and two shoulder straps that could be carried on the back.
When Yuan Qi entered the sword pouch, the crocodile's mouth would open and spit out a scabbard and a sword hilt.
When a warrior refines their Qi into a thread, the Yuan Qi thread would wrap around the sword hilt, allowing them to draw the sword and use their Qi to control the sword.
After the first sword was unsheathed, a sword hilt would emerge from the scabbard. After the second sword was unsheathed, a third sword would emerge. This was the reason why it was called a sword pouch.
Li River Sect was a sword sect in the southern border. The swords they refined were very unique. There was a mother sword hidden in the sword pouch. The mother sword could not be used as it had already fused with the small crocodile's skin.
The swords that were pulled out from the sword pouch were all child swords. Qin Mu tested it and found that he could pull out a total of twenty-eight child swords. Including the seven that he broke with his Pig Slaughtering Knife, there was a total of thirty-five child swords.
As for how Li River Sect was able to hide thirty-five swords in such a small sword pouch, he did not know the trick behind it.
Twenty-eight swords were not considered heavy for Qin Mu. He carried many iron ingots on his body and wore iron shoes on his feet. There were also iron ingots hidden on his chest and waist. The total weight added up to fifty kilograms, which was about the same weight as the sword pouch.
Qin Mu treated carrying the sword pouch as a form of cultivation. He could save on heavy items like iron shoes, making it easier for him to move around. However, he couldn't use his qi to control the sword. Li River Sword Skill was exquisite and sinister. His sword control technique couldn't reach that standard.
"It would be great if I could learn Li River Sword Skill."
Qin Mu sighed to himself. Li River Sword Skill was very exquisite. Especially the Chain Sword Skill, it was even more brilliant. Old Ma, Butcher, Cripple, Apothecary, and Blind were not proficient in sword skills. Mute had a chest full of things that looked like sword pellets and Madam Si had similar silver pellets. If those silver pellets were sword pellets, then they should be proficient in sword skills as well.
However, when Qin Mu asked Madam Si, Madam Si was unwilling to teach him. Mute also waved his hands repeatedly as if he was afraid. Mute secretly used sign language to tell him that if he did not learn now, there would be better sword skills waiting for him. If he learned now, there would be nothing left and no one would teach him.
Qin Mu did not know who the other person was and could only drop the subject.
He had not completely grasped the wonders of vital qi circulation. For example, Old Ma's fist skill had not been able to circulate vital qi around his body when he attacked.
By circulating vital qi around the body, it could raise all the qualities of the body to the greatest extent. No matter if it was strength, agility, speed, or reaction, they would all reach the pinnacle!
When Thunderclap Eight Strikes was cultivated to a profound realm, one would be able to produce thunderclaps with their palms and strike lightning with their fists. He could only rely on Devil God Mighty Force Mudra to achieve the thunder in his palms, but Thunderclap Eight Strikes was still unable to do so.
If he could achieve this step, he would be able to catch a sword bare-handed if he met a practitioner like Qian Qiu again. He would not have his palms cut by his opponent!
"You lack actual combat experience."
Old Ma came to Qin Mu's side and said indifferently, "Your cultivation is higher than that disciple of Li River Sect. The fist skills, leg skills, knife skills, and staff skills that you have learned are all stronger than his Li River Sword Skill. However, when you crossed swords with him, your hands and feet were tied and you were unable to use them."
Qin Mu nodded his head repeatedly. He had also felt that Qian Qiu's sword skills were exquisite and even his sword skills were unexpected. However, his reaction was not satisfactory as he had actually grabbed the sword directly.
