Chapter 119: Chapter 104 Great River Sword Qi (Request for Subscription)
"Kill them."
Li Qian stood in the air, suppressing the entire scene with True Image Level Sword Intent, and spoke.
He had already killed three Heavenly Persons and, naturally, was too lazy to personally deal with these martial artists from the Xuanming Sect.
Upon hearing the command of the Heavenly Person, the numerous disciples of the Divine Sword Sect didn’t hesitate and immediately launched an attack on the warriors from the Xuanming Sect.
As one side was suppressed by True Image Level Sword Intent and could barely exert their full strength, and the other side was unreserved with high spirits, the outcome was predictable.
Although there were more than five Great Grandmasters in the Xuanming Sect, including one Top Grandmaster... under the attack of the disciples from Divine Sword Sect, they were slaughtered overwhelmingly.
Those few Grandmasters still had a bit of resistance.
But ordinary Innate Martial Artists and Grandmasters... were quickly killed.
A while later, the last Top Grandmaster of Xuanming Sect had his head embarrassingly sliced off by a senior disciple who was a True Inheritor, Senior Brother Zhao.
That True Inheritor also saw his own energy greatly depleted, his face as pale as paper, his body tottering, with blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
But another disciple quickly came forward to support this True Inheritor.
As for the betraying Core Disciple, Huang Haisheng, naturally, he couldn’t escape and was directly captured by a Grandmaster.
This Huang Haisheng’s face turned pale, as he had already foreseen his fate.
"Thank you for the life-saving grace of the Heavenly Person, senior."
True Inheritor Senior Brother Zhao knelt on the ground, respectfully performing the ritual.
Other disciples hurriedly followed suit.
This Heavenly Person was a senior of the Divine Sword Sect and had saved their lives; kneeling was only proper.
"The rebels have retreated, you may return to the Divine Sword Sect now."
After saying this, Li Qian turned and swiftly flew away, disappearing from view.
Seeing the Heavenly Person leave, everyone felt a sense of surviving a great disaster.
Moreover, hearing that the rebels had retreated and that the Divine Sword Sect was not breached, they all became ecstatic and thrilled.
"Let’s go, we shall return to the Divine Sword Sect immediately."
Senior Brother Zhao, the True Inheritor, took an elixir then issued the order.
Despite his serious injuries and the use of secret techniques, as long as there was no fierce combat involved, he shouldn’t have major problems.
Thus, everyone began to clean up the scene.
Eight disciples from the Divine Sword Sect had died, and many more were injured.
The bodies of the disciples definitely couldn’t be left behind; they must be taken back to the Divine Sword Sect to be buried.
....
After leaving the village, Li Qian landed on a secluded piece of ground, took off his black cloak, and stored it in the Black Iron Ring.
He didn’t plan to return to the village to notify them.
After waiting for a long time, the disciples from the Divine Sword Sect finally left the village, and then Li Qian returned to where his horse was tied, mounted it, and he didn’t hurry back to the Divine Sword Sect.
Instead, he rode leisurely, appreciating the snowy scenery along the way, holding a wine gourd in his hand, occasionally taking a sip, feeling very content.
"Young brother, what a fine liquor."
Suddenly, an elder riding a donkey backwards caught up from behind, sniffed with his red, garlic-like nose, his eyes fixed on the wine gourd in Li Qian’s hand.
This donkey, though small, had a quick stride.
"If the senior likes it, I have another bottle here," Li Qian said with a smile.
Then he took a small wine jar from the horse’s saddlebag and threw it to the elder.
The elder caught it with one hand, opened the stopper, took a taste, and immediately smiled with joy, "Indeed a fine liquor. I have traveled all over the world, yet have never tasted such fine liquor... smooth and refreshing, with a rich aroma."
"If the senior likes it, that’s good," Li Qian said.
This liquor was brewed by his master from Spirit Rice using a sauce-aroma technique from his previous life.
This world definitely did not have it.
"This drink has a unique taste, really suits my palate, but now that I’ve had this jar, I’m afraid there won’t be a chance to taste it again?"
The elder took another sip and exclaimed,
"If the senior likes to drink this type of liquor, I happen to have the brewing technique and can give it to the senior."
Li Qian said happily.
Some people like the soy sauce aroma type of baijiu, he naturally liked it, and anyway, his master Zhou Buping, Liu Ming, and Pang Bai, the three of them... couldn’t get used to this type of liquor.
They, on the other hand, couldn’t stop praising the light fragrance type baijiu.
"Little brother, you would really give the old man the brewing technique?"
The elder, upon hearing this, was overjoyed.
"Of course, there’s nothing much to this brewing technique, and it’s rare that the senior likes this type of liquor."
Li Qian said with a smile.
Speaking of which, he began to explain the brewing technique for the soy sauce aroma type baijiu to the elder in great detail.
The elder listened very seriously.
"I never expected there to be such a complex and unique brewing craft; the old man truly has opened his eyes."
After listening, the elder was extremely astonished.
"Hehe, this is something the youngster pondered upon with his free time."
Li Qian said.
Since it’s an otherworld, he decisively took the brewing technique of the soy sauce aroma type baijiu for himself.
"Little brother, the old man can’t just take your unique brewing technique for nothing, here’s a secret technique, which might be of some use to you."
The elder said and took out a strange piece of jade from his bosom and tossed it to Li Qian, then gently patted the donkey.
The donkey started running quickly, disappearing into the distance, leaving only a silhouette for Li Qian.
"What breed of donkey is this, so fast?"
Li Qian was extremely surprised.
That speed seemed even faster than his swift horse.
"This senior, is no ordinary person."
Li Qian murmured to himself.
Anyway, he couldn’t sense any cultivation aura from this elder... as if he really was just an ordinary elder.
But how could an ordinary person keep warm wearing so little?
It could only be said that this elder’s cultivation was very high, and he must possess a very powerful Concealing Breath technique.
Li Qian rode slowly on his swift horse, holding the jade in his hand.
This jade was pure white without any impurities, about the size of a mahjong tile, and seemed to have some patterns and a few special characters carved on it.
"Eh, isn’t this demon text?"
Li Qian looked at the characters on the jade, his face showing a surprised expression.
Although he couldn’t recognize the characters, their form was very similar to demon text.
This was his second encounter with demon text.
Beyond the books inside the black iron ring, a piece of jade given to him by an elder also had demon text on it. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
"Earlier, the senior said he was giving me a secret technique; could it be that this jade has another mystery?"
Li Qian examined the jade in his hand, studying it carefully.
With just a few demon text characters and some patterns, it’s unlikely to contain the content of an entire secret technique.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
Because the black iron ring he had was a Storage Device that required activating with personal Spiritual Perception.
Could this piece of jade be the same?
After all, both are related to demon text.
Thinking of this, Li Qian took a deep breath and immediately used his own Spiritual Perception to touch the jade.
Instantly, he felt the few demon text characters and patterns seemingly come to life, gradually twisting and changing, eventually transforming into a mighty Sword River, from which peculiar pieces of information emerged, fusing into his mind.
"Great River Sword Qi."
