Chapter 82

With a single finger, the precious sword in his hand instantly transformed into several emerald sword beams, slashing through the air in the guest room.

Clang!

In the air, a snow-white light suddenly appeared, like a bolt of lightning, stopping the emerald sword beams.

The emerald and snow-white lights intertwined in the air, the snow-white light surging with power, shaking the air and breaking free from the several sword beams that were cutting back and forth.

It was as if a snowstorm had broken out in the small room!

Snowflakes flew, enveloping the entire guest room, but not a trace of coldness leaked out, making those outside unaware of what was happening!

Suddenly, the air rippled, and a snow-white figure emerged from the snowflakes. He wore a white robe, was slightly plump, and looked like a genial, plump gentleman.

With a single finger, the white snowflakes turned into a cold current, forming an ice crystal sword that shattered the incoming emerald sword beams!

As he landed, the snowflake phenomenon in the room instantly disappeared, like a fleeting illusion, gradually fading away into the white-robed figure.

He slowly descended from the air, walking towards the green-robed young master. The white-robed gentleman had a genial face, smiling warmly, appearing particularly amiable and generous.

"Nine Young Master, please show mercy; this old man cannot withstand your devastating sword beams!"

The emerald spiritual light reformed into a precious sword and returned to his waist. Unhappy, Jun Qing's eyes turned cold, and he gently stroked the teacup in his hand, carefully examining the patterns on the teacup, but said, "It's been a while since we last met, Xu Butler. Your skills have improved even more, truly a cause for celebration! It seems you have received much favor from your master!"

He circled around Xu Li, the more he observed, the more satisfied he became, nodding slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "You're really quite plump!"

Xu Li, not noticing the strange look in Jun Qing's eyes, hugged his plump body and looked at the large sleeve of his robe, which was missing a piece. His genial smile froze, and a flash of anger passed through his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, sneering inwardly, "I am a servant, and you are not much better, just a case of the pot calling the kettle black!"

Compared to the Second Young Master, you, Nine Young Master, are not even worthy to tie his shoes!

Although he despised Jun Qing, Xu Li's face remained genial, his smile warm and slightly humble.

Bowing, he said, "No, no, this is all due to the grace of my young master. How can an old servant like me compare to Nine Young Master? Just now, I saw the division of your sword beams, and the coldness was astonishing. It seems you are about to form a sword embryo. Among the disciples of our Lianyun Fort, Nine Young Master's sword talent is unmatched! How dare I compete with you!"

"Your words are comforting to hear."

Jun Qing snorted and turned around, a wicked smile on his face. He lightly patted Xu Li's shoulder, "But, your master didn't send you here just to flatter me. Speak quickly."

"If you have nothing to say, I will take your head as a chamber pot!"

He leaned close to Xu Li's ear, a cold breath escaping, making the plump Xu Li shiver.

A trace of fear and anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. This young master was not easy to serve, with unpredictable moods, rare sword talent, but a cruel and murderous nature.

It was said that he had mastered an ancient sword technique, the Annihilation Sword Canon, which could annihilate an entire area with a single strike. With his fourth-stage cultivation, it was said that he had personally used this technique to kill a fifth-stage Yin Spirit!

Although he despised this young master, Xu Li did not dare to show any disrespect!

His face changed, and he quickly explained, "Nine Young Master, how could an old servant dare to tease you! This time, the Second Young Master has an important matter to entrust to me. He has temporarily bestowed me with something, and I must pass it on to you!"

"Oh, what is it? Tell me!"

Without a word, Jun Qing smiled, his handsome face calm as he looked at Xu Li, the tenderness in his eyes making the plump Xu Li's back sweat.

A strange feeling surged in his heart, and Xu Li's face changed. This Nine Young Master was known for his hidden knives, and such a cheerful smile surely meant no good!

He inwardly complained, why did the Second Young Master choose this madman? This madman was unpredictable, quick to draw his sword and kill, and his cultivation of the Annihilation Sword Technique was ruthless. If he lost control, things could get out of hand!

With various thoughts flashing through his mind, he quickly took something from his waist and presented it to Jun Qing.

"The young master instructed me to convey a message: the plan will proceed as usual, but the target is deeply hidden and may cause unexpected changes. Therefore, he has obtained this item from the market to assist you in slaying the enemy!"

"Truly a lot of effort, this is a blood brother, truly disheartening, bloodshed among kin, a true tragedy!"

Jun Qing looked melancholic, gazing at the precious box in his hand, his face filled with sorrow. The indignation in his eyes made Xu Li's eyes bulge, his face like a toad with protruding eyes!

Staring at Jun Qing, Xu Li was momentarily stunned. When did he become so compassionate?

"New here, right? The Second Brother is really going downhill, taking in all sorts of subordinates, creating a chaotic mess!"

"Poor character, poor strength! I, as a younger brother, will help you solve these hidden dangers!"

"But after two years, it's really quite good!"

His face changed, and Jun Qing smiled coldly, taking two steps forward and lightly patting Xu Li's plump face, his eyes narrowed, "What are you doing, staring with such big eyes? Trying to scare the young master?"

Xu Li's heart raced, and he quickly bowed his head, not daring to look up!

Nodding in satisfaction, he said with a pained expression, "I really don't want to do this, although personally killing him would be more satisfying, I can't bear it! Bloodshed among kin..."

Muttering to himself, he flipped his hand, opening the jade box, his brows furrowing as he looked at the turtle shell inside, "What is this? Did your master send you with this? A turtle shell?"

Xu Li was terrified, "The young master said, the target is deeply hidden and very powerful. Although Nine Young Master's cultivation is high, as a precaution, he has bestowed this ten-thousand-year-old spirit turtle shell."

"Do not underestimate this shell, Nine Young Master. This shell is from a ten-thousand-year-old spirit turtle. It not only has excellent defensive capabilities but also comes with a water escape technique. Even a common fifth-stage strong opponent would find it hard to catch up if caught off guard!"

A greedy look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, "What a waste, such a life-saving treasure given to such a wasteful person!"

Glancing sideways, he casually stuffed the jade box into his chest, picked up the sword, and walked out. Xu Li breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending off this madman, what a close call!

Suddenly, the young master turned at the door, "Xu Butler, I almost forgot, you went through so much trouble to bring me this treasure, and I haven't given you a thank-you gift yet!"

Without waiting for Xu Li to respond, a sword flew out, a bright emerald sword beam slashing fiercely at the plump Xu Li, the cold sword light reaching his waist.

With a deadly and venomous sword intent, the emerald sword beam was like a venomous dragon, instantly piercing through the air, wrapping around the plump Xu Li, and circling in the air!

"Ahh!"

A惨叫, Xu Li's face was terribly distorted, curling up on the floor. Green mist-like shadows, like dark demons, swirled around him, howling, devouring his soul. In the blink of an eye, the plump figure on the ground was completely consumed, turning into a green essence that entered Jun Qing's body.

Sucking in a breath, he absorbed the sword energy filled with life essence into his body.

"Really good, I'll take this big gift from the Second Brother! Dealing with the Second Brother is always so satisfying!"

It felt like the highest form of enjoyment! Jun Qing's face was sinister, his eyes narrowed, the green sword light in his eyes surging like venomous snakes, extremely strange!

Raising this prey for a few more years, fattening it before slaughtering, the taste is really good! Quality and quantity have both improved, and no one understands me better than the Second Brother!

With a sinister smile, he walked out of the inn, feeling pleased.

Jun Wuming! I, your younger brother, am looking forward to our reunion. I hope you don't die too quickly; the completion of the Annihilation Sword Intent cannot do without your soul's assistance!
