Chapter 10

Although he still did not know the name of this sword technique, it did not hinder him from using it against his enemies.

The first disciple of the outer court, "Iron Sword" Du Pengfei, who had reached the second level of the Qi Dao, was too strong for him to defeat. But could he not even handle two low-level thugs who had not even reached the first level of the Qi Dao and were at the same middle stage of Qi Sensing as he was?

Therefore, while others feared him like a tiger, he remained calm, merely observing from the side, not taking it to heart at all.

Until the other party really came to him, demanding five hundred gray stones. Even if there was a protection fee in this "Floating Barrier Corner," it was definitely not collected this way. This person was clearly extorting him, and he naturally would not tolerate it.

After finally coming up with a plan to earn over six hundred gray stones, how could he hand it all over to someone else in a blink of an eye?

"Rip, rip..."

"Ah, ah..."

Two cries of pain, and with just a slight flick of Tang Gu's sleeve, his two hands slightly raised, two purple sword lights, like dragons or snakes, suddenly shot out.

One to the left, one to the right, one in front, one behind.

They perfectly countered the electric fists and eagle palms of the two gray-robed disciples.

Immediately, as if a hole had been punctured in a ball, the two disciples felt excruciating pain, instantly falling to the ground, crying and rolling around.

In those two sword auras, there seemed to be a cold breath, making their blood chill and stiffen. In that moment, the two were instantly terrified.

"Hmm?"

On the opposite side, seeing this, the scar-faced man was stunned. He completely ignored the two disciples on the ground and stared at Tang Gu for a while before his eyes turned dark, and he said coldly, "I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, are also a martial artist. I underestimated you, Mr. Qiu."

"However, you injured my two disciples, and now the price you need to pay is even greater. Not just five hundred gray stones, but also your arms, leave them behind!"

Saying this, he suddenly lifted his robe and slowly drew a nine-ring golden saber from behind his back, staring at Tang Gu across from him. His aura became extremely fierce, like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.

Seeing the scar-faced man's unusual state, Tang Gu's eyes became more serious, and he said, "Peak Qi Dao Level One, High Rank First-Class Saber Technique, Fierce Tiger Saber Technique!"

"Good insight!"

The scar-faced man coldly smiled, "But it's too late!" Saying this, he raised his long saber, which brought a yellow glow, and slashed down with a fierce wind.

Seeing this, Tang Gu's eyes narrowed, knowing he had met his match. His fingers moved like threading a needle, weaving through and around, and seven or eight purple sword lights instantly formed a purple net, heading toward the scar-faced man.

But at that moment, a pale-faced, sword-carrying black-robed youth suddenly appeared between the two, shouting, "Stop!"

His hands moved like butterflies among flowers, casually supporting, and both Tang Gu's sword technique and the scar-faced man's saber seemed to suddenly freeze, then shatter like a mirror.

Neither Tang Gu nor the peak Qi Dao Level One scar-faced man, Qiu Sanzhi, could see how the newcomer appeared between them. They both trembled and quickly retreated, separating.

"Mirror Technique, Early Qi Dao Level Three!"

"You are an inner court disciple, 'Golden Sword' Yuan Suichen!"

In an instant, Tang Gu's eyes moved to the pale-faced, sword-carrying youth and said.

"I don't know why you interrupted our battle. I hope you will give me, Mr. Qiu, some face and not interfere. I will have a generous reward for you afterward."

The scar-faced man also realized the newcomer was not simple and felt a chill, but he still said with a stiff upper lip.

However, the black-robed youth completely ignored them. After interrupting their battle, he slightly shrank back, making way for a blue-robed girl with a white veil covering her face to step forward.

This blue-robed girl, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, was in the prime of her youth. Her face was veiled, but her demeanor was like a snow-covered flower tree, her skin as smooth as jade, and her white veil shimmered with a silky luster, clearly indicating her noble birth.

Behind her was a clever and pretty female servant.

"Miss."

The black-robed youth bowed slightly and said, "The trouble has been resolved. Is there anything else you need?"

"No, drive this annoying person away. I want to talk to this stall owner."

The blue-robed girl seemed uninterested today, her brows slightly furrowed, showing a faint trace of sorrow. She waved her hand casually.

"Yes."

The black-robed youth replied and then walked to the scar-faced man, extending a hand and saying, "Please, my lady wants you to leave!"

"What, do you think you are?"

The scar-faced man was furious and was about to react, but at that moment, the black-robed youth just gave him a faint look and said, "I never repeat myself. If you don't leave, ask my sword!"

Saying this, with a "click," a golden long sword, like the morning light of the ninth dawn, slowly emerged from its sheath. On the blade were two blood-red stripes, and on the hilt was a white jade.

The scar-faced man's voice abruptly stopped.

He stared at the black-robed youth in disbelief, his voice hoarse, "Nine Dawn Golden Sword, you are a martial academy disciple, 'Golden Sword' Yuan Suichen!"

He then glanced at the blue-robed girl behind the black-robed youth, and his face turned even uglier, "The Shui family, no wonder. Fine, I admit defeat today!"

Saying this, he said no more and directly picked up the two disciples still wailing on the ground, turned, and squeezed through the crowd, quickly disappearing down the street.

"Ha!"

The black-robed youth did not even look at the departing scar-faced man. The golden sword on his back slowly returned to its sheath and finally came to a stop.

He then walked back to the girl's side, "Miss, he has been driven away."

"Um."

The blue-robed girl then stepped forward, walking toward Tang Gu. Everyone who saw her coming made way, automatically clearing a path, their eyes filled with respect.

"The Shui family?"

Hearing what the scar-faced man had said and considering that there was only one Shui family in the entire Stone Rock Town, who could not guess the identity of this blue-robed girl?

Even Tang Gu's heart stirred.

Stone Rock Town had six major families: Ning, Du, Fang, Li, Wang, and Shui, all of which had ancestors who had reached the sixth level of the Qi Dao or higher.

The current top-ranked disciple of the outer court, "Iron Sword" Du Pengfei, was one of them, a disciple of the Du family.

Among the six major families, the Ning, Fang, and Shui families were the most powerful.

The Ning family had a genius swordsman, Ning Qingjun, who, at a young age, had already reached the peak of the fifth level of the Qi Dao and was about to join one of the six major sects of the "Konglun Snow Region," the "Supreme Autumn Wind Pavilion," for training.

The Fang family's patriarch, "Red Eyebrow" Fang Kongsuo, was now a major figure at the initial sixth level of the Qi Dao, on par with the current martial academy principal, "Kunwu Sword" Sikong Zheng, and only below the previous principal, "Cold Wind Sword" Qiu Xiwu.

He was a well-known, second-ranked top figure in the entire Stone Rock Town.

The last one, the Shui family... was the oldest family in the area. The current mayor of Stone Rock Town, Shui Yun, was the head of the Shui family.

It was rumored that a hundred years ago, the Shui family had a second-class alchemist who had established a significant fortune in Qinglong City. Later, he disappeared, but he left behind an extremely precious alchemy technique.

The current head of the Shui family, Shui Yun's daughter, Shui Xue, was a prodigy. At a young age, she had already mastered this alchemy technique to a minor level, reaching the intermediate level of a first-class alchemist, and was famous for it.

In terms of cultivation, she might not match the Ning family's genius, Ning Qingjun, but in terms of alchemy, she was the first and only alchemist in the entire Stone Rock Town.

Could it be? Everyone looked at the blue-robed girl. It was rumored that the inner court disciple of the martial academy, "Golden Sword" Yuan Suichen, was once an orphan taken in by the Shui family. Later, he was found to have excellent cultivation talent and joined the martial academy, but he never forgot their kindness.

The only person in the entire Shui family who could command such respect and protection was one person!

The Shui family's daughter, Shui Xue!
