Lin Xuan rode on his warhorse, raised his sharp saber, and charged towards one of the cavalrymen with an unstoppable momentum.
At this moment, he was bursting with killing intent, but his heart was filled with a sense of absurdity.
He was originally a powerful Heavenly Transformation Stage expert, and every move of his was enough to split mountains. However, at this moment, he could only fight bravely like a mortal in order to survive. Thinking about it, it was somewhat laughable.
But in reality, this was not laughable at all.
Compared to the enemy in front of him, other than having a wider field of vision and more experience in killing, he did not have many advantages in other aspects.
He already vaguely understood that this was perhaps the greatest difficulty in obtaining the Seven Killings Sword Intent Inheritance.
When enemies meet on a narrow path, the courageous will win.
The warhorse gradually sped up, closing the distance of a few dozen steps in an instant. Lin Xuan roared, and his saber drew an arc, fiercely chopping towards the cavalryman's shoulder.
The cavalryman was shocked. He gave up on Qu Jianyi, and hurriedly raised his saber to meet the attack.
However, his warhorse did not gallop, and Lin Xuan used the speed of his horse to increase the power of his saber.
Clang!
An ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang out.
The cavalryman's expression changed. He felt a strong force coming from his saber, causing the web between his thumb and forefinger to crack. His saber flew out of his hand, and he was almost shaken off the back of his horse.
Lin Xuan seized the opportunity, and in the instant when the two horses crossed, he slashed the cavalryman's thigh with his saber!
Puchi!
A severed leg flew out of the cavalryman's body, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
Ah — —
The cavalryman screamed and fell off the back of his horse, rolling on the ground in pain.
Almost at the same time, another cavalryman also let out a mournful scream.
Qu Jianyi used his saber to stab the cavalryman's warhorse, and the fallen soldier crushed the cavalryman's leg. Qu Jianyi followed up with a slash, cutting the cavalryman's throat, and the scream came to an abrupt end.
At this point, the six cavalrymen were either dead or injured, and none of them had the strength to continue fighting.
"Lin Xuan, let's go quickly! The City Lord's elites will be here soon, we can't stay here for long! "
Qu Jian jumped onto a warhorse and called out to Lin Xuan before galloping towards the distant mountain.
Lin Xuan followed closely behind and flew away.
Seven or eight miles behind them, a cloud of dust had already been kicked up, and the ground was rumbling under the iron hooves of the warhorses.
…
The sun was setting in the west, and dusk was coming.
In a deserted valley, Lin Xuan hunted a deer, cut off two pieces of thigh meat, and slowly roasted them over the fire. The meat sizzled with oil, emitting a tantalizing aroma.
On the other side of the bonfire, Qu Jianyi was treating the wound on his abdomen. The wound was not light, and if it was not treated in time, he would bleed to death.
"Lin Xuan, who is in charge of the sect now?"
Qu Jianyi asked casually as he bandaged his wounds.
Although his injuries were severe, his expression did not change. As a martial arts expert, his will was naturally incomparably firm, and this bit of pain was nothing to him.
Lin Xuan's thoughts spun rapidly, but his expression was extremely calm as he said, "Master, the people in charge of our branch are Elder Qing Yangzi, Zhao Wuji, and Lian Shisan, the two sword masters."
He actually did not know much about the Sword Maste, but fortunately, Qu Jianyi had been trapped here for fifteen years and knew nothing about the outside world. As long as he could justify himself, he did not have to worry about being seen through.
Of course, this was only a temporary measure. If Qu Jianyi continued to dig, he could not guarantee that he would not be exposed.
"Hmph! There are no tigers in the mountain, and that monkey Qing Yangzi is the king! "
Qu Jianyi snorted mockingly, as if he had some resentment towards Qing Yangzi.
Then, he sighed, "I didn't expect that Zhao Wuji and Jian Shisan, those two juniors, would also become sword masters! I wonder which two famed swords they obtained? "
"Zhao Wuji obtained the Vast Ocean Sword, and Lian Shisan obtained the Thunderclap Sword," Lin Xuan replied.
"These two brats' luck is not bad." Qu Jianyi nodded.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and deliberately changed the topic. "Master, I'm at a loss as to how to obtain the inheritance. What should we do next? We don't seem to have any advantage in this world. Wouldn't it be as difficult as ascending to heaven to complete the goal? "
Qu Jianyi nodded and sighed. "It's naturally not easy to obtain the Seven Killings Sword Intent. Otherwise, the Seven Killings Shao Feng Sword would not have failed to recognize a master after five hundred people.
In these five hundred years, the number of Sword Maste elites who have fallen into this world of inheritance is no less than ten thousand people. Even I … sigh. "
Lin Xuan's heart tightened when he heard Qu Jianyi's sigh. Before he came in, he did not expect that the difficulty of obtaining the Seven Killings Sword Intent would be so great and so dangerous. If he had known earlier, he would definitely have chosen to give up.
After all, he already had several powerful inheritances. Although having an additional Seven Killings Sword Intent could increase his strength, it was not worth the risk.
However, since he had already come in, he could only do his best.
At this moment, Qu Jianyi changed the topic and said confidently, "Lin Xuan, you don't have to worry too much. Since I said that I would help you successfully obtain the inheritance, I won't go back on my words! Moreover, I've been here for fifteen years and have made arrangements. "
"Oh? How will you teach me, Master? "Lin Xuan asked.
Qu Jianyi said, "To obtain the inheritance, you need to kill four thousand and nine hundred people who deserve to be killed and collect their souls to forge the sword intent.
The biggest difficulty in this matter is that you can't kill the wrong people. Secondly, the place to forge the sword intent.
Since ancient times, most of the people who failed failed because they killed someone they shouldn't have killed, which led to their downfall.
As for the remaining few, they failed because they couldn't get close to the place to forge the sword intent. "
Lin Xuan nodded and sighed. "Yes, the most difficult thing to distinguish in this world is a person's heart. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage, and trust are all stored in the stomach. It's really difficult to distinguish them from the surface."
"Hmm?"
Qu Jianyi was stunned and looked at Lin Xuan strangely. "How difficult is it to distinguish between loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage, and trust? You just need to use the sword embryo. Don't you know? "
"Sword embryo? What sword embryo? I've never heard of it! "Lin Xuan said with a puzzled expression.
However, he secretly raised his guard.
He had approached Qu Jianyi mainly because of the secret skill to distinguish and collect souls.
If he could obtain the secret skill, even without Qu Jianyi's help, he was confident that he could kill four thousand and nine hundred people.
From Qu Jianyi's words, it wasn't difficult for him to tell that the key lay in the sword embryo.
Qu Jianyi's eyes flashed with a trace of suspicion. "Lin Xuan, when you came in, didn't the sword spirit teach you the method to forge the sword embryo?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and pretended to smile bitterly. "Master, you don't know. The sword spirit of the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword was severely injured half a year ago and has lost its memory. Its temperament has changed greatly. When I came in, I was only told the method to obtain the inheritance. I know nothing else.
Of course, I'm still considered lucky. A few senior brothers who were much more talented than me were directly killed by the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword. As a result, no one in the sect dares to go near the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword. Otherwise, with my talent, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to go near the sword. "
"I see." Qu Jianyi suddenly understood. At the same time, he looked at Lin Xuan with a strange gaze, as if he was somewhat sympathetic.
He could imagine that this disciple of his was probably mediocre outside and had no one to rely on. That was why it was his turn to go near the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword.
Qu Jianyi smiled amiably and comforted him. "Lin Xuan, you don't have to be discouraged. Your talent is given by your parents, but your fate is predestined by the heavens.
As long as you can successfully obtain the inheritance of the Seven Deadly Sword Intent, and I'll teach you everything I know, I believe that when you go out, you'll definitely soar to the sky and become a top prodigy. "
"Thank you, Master!" Lin Xuan said excitedly. "I won't let you down!"
Qu Jianyi nodded and said, "I'm not feeling well today. After a few days, I'll teach you the method of forging the sword embryo and everything I know."
Lin Xuan said doubtfully, "Master, we're both mortals now, and our souls aren't strong. This inheritance …"
If one wanted to pass on profound martial arts to others, it could only be through spiritual inheritance. However, the two of them were mortals now, and it was almost impossible to condense spiritual inheritance.
Qu Jianyi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Do you know why they only left me alive when everyone else died?"
"I don't know," Lin Xuan said curiously.
Qu Jianyi said, "It's because my spiritual power is strong enough. The previous City Lord of the city had a grand plan and always wanted to force me to submit. He wanted me to pass on the secret method of condensing the sword embryo to him. Only I could do this.
However, I knew that if I really passed on the secret method to that native City Lord, I would lose my only value in life. My life would be in danger, so I never agreed. "
"I see. Master must have suffered a lot these years. That City Lord deserved to die!" Lin Xuan said angrily.
Qu Jianyi's face was gloomy and said indifferently, "That guy deserved to die, but he's already dead. The current City Lord is his grandson, Yuwen Zhi. This guy is even more cunning and cruel than his grandfather. These years, all the Sword Maste disciples who came here were all tortured to death by him. However, he still didn't get anything."
Lin Xuan clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. He said, "This person is so cruel, he is absolutely irreconcilable with the Sword Catacomb. Before this disciple leaves, I will definitely kill this person to comfort the souls of my fellow disciples in heaven!"
Qu Jianyi shook his head and said, "Let nature take its course. The existence of the Yuwen family was originally set up by this world. After Yuwen Hao died, another Yuwen Zhi appeared. When Yuwen Zhi dies, someone else will appear. "
Lin Xuan's eyes flickered and he seemed to be thinking.
From Qu Jianyi's words, it wasn't hard to tell that this Yuwen family was the biggest obstacle to this world.
This world wasn't big. Apart from the city, there were dozens of towns and villages in the surroundings.
Apart from that, there were also barren mountains and lakes.
