Supreme Emperor of Swords

“We’ve heard of those three people!”

“It’s really embarrassing. At the beginning, Ding Hao, with a rusted sword, distinguished himself from the geniuses. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a thing of the past. He will no longer the hero of the day. It seems that this little genius, after all, fell before he began his career!”

“In an age of changes, so many outstanding young figures emerge, but no more heroes!”

People had not heard of such a thing, and all of a sudden, they were filled with emotion.

“This brother, you are awesome and well-informed, but in addition to those people, I wonder if there are any other masters in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect? Tell us so that we can know…” The first person to speak cupped his fist before his chest again.

The handsome swordsman laughed and said, “Since Ding Hao was missing, three outstanding masters entered the six peaks and six bases for cultivation. Now in the five academies of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, those who deserve to be worthy masters should be Li Canyang, Canyang of Eight Corners, the head of the Western Academy of Red Shirts, Lu Kuang, Crazy Man of the Southern Academy of Purple Shirts and Fang Tianyi, Wind-hungting One Sword of the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts. However, hehe, those people are just so-so. The first true master should be Elder Brother Lu Pengfei, Amazing Sword!”

“Lu Pengfei?”

“Amazing Sword?”

All people felt surprised. Some people were confused and said, “How come we’ve never heard of such a person?”

The handsome swordman showed a trace of dismay on his face and said with a sneer, “Hum. In the cold winter, the traffic was not convinient and demons closed the fields, so that it is normal for information not to be circulated. Furthermore people like you are low. How can you know stories about the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect? Elder Brother Lu Pengfei won the first position in the competition of the five academies. It’s been three months since then. Hehe. Wait and see. His reputation as Amazing Sword will soon spread all over Snow Province!”

Before his voice had died away.

“Amazing Sword? He boasts without shame.”

A cold voice, nobody knew where it came from, lingered in all peoples’ ears, as if someone were talking to everyone’s ear at the same time, and it was extremely clear.

“Who? How dares to be so presumptuous? Come out now!” The handsome swordsman was furious. He looked around, but could not find the source of the voice.

At that time, others dared not talk further with that handsome swordsman.

“No one is a fool. From the words just now, everyone can already glean that this young man is a person from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Since he called Lu Pengfei, ‘Amazing Sword’, ‘Elder Brother’, he should be a person under the registered disciples of the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts.”

As they were talking, someone squatted upstairs.

The coming people were several young warriors in the same standard gowns. They seemed to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, and some of them were even younger. Their head was a little bit older, around twenty years old with a square face and black skin. He had a black sword on his back. The sword was six fingers wide and one point six or seven meters long. The young man with steady steps had an imposing manner.

“Elder Brother Tian!”

“You’ve come, Elder Brother Tian!”

Seeing the person with a square face, the handsome swordsman and his companions rose up and greeted him respectfully.

The square-faced man nodded and asked, “Have you got any information about Zhang Fan, that traitor?”

The handsome swordsman glanced around and whispered, “Elder Brother Tian, don’t worry. We’ve already figured out the whereabouts of Zhang Fan. He is hiding in an inn, in one of the city’s slums. He was injured and could not run far away. I have already asked Zhong Lin and Wang Xiu to keep watch on him at the inn. Everything is going as planned!”

The square-faced man nodded and turned around, then sat down at the table with satisfaction. “Well, Elder Brother Lu will definitely reward you when this issue is solved.”

The handsome swordsman looked happy and nodded. “This is all your credit, Elder Brother Tian. I can’t take it for myself.” He sat down as he said. He hesitated for a while and curiously asked, “Zhang Fan has been cultivating magic power and he betrayed the Sect. His betrayal is based upon valid evidence. We can now take him back. Why should we keep watching on him and not take any action?”

The square-faced man, Tian Heng, said with a smile. “This is Elder Brother Lu’s high-mindedness. All people know that Zhang Fan has been cultivating a magic power. The teacher-in-charge personally sent people to detain him, but in the Eastern Academy of Green Shirts, some people set him free secretly. Those rebels should be killed. Elder Brother Lu’s arrangement like this is to use Zhang Fan as a bait to take them all!”

“Is Wang Xiaoqi who set Zhang Fan, the humble hunter, free withou permission? Wang Xiaoqi was neither learning nor practicing. Does he have any other accomplices?” The handsome swordsman, Zhang Wenzhao, asked in surprise.

“Hum. It is not so simple. At least twenty fellow male apprentices at the Completion in the Martial Disciple Realm guarded Zhang Fan in the detention place, but Zhang Fan was still rescued without anybody knowing it. Wang Xiaoqi is just a good-for-nothing of Seven Apertures in the Martial Disciple Realm. How could he do it alone?” The square-faced man sneered.

“Do you mean…” The handsome swordsman Zhang Wenzhao seemed to have thought of something.

“Have you just got it now?” The square-faced man raised a full glass of wine and drank it. He said with a sneer, “Fang Tianyi, Li Yunqi, Lu Bowen, Wang Xiaoqi, Li Yiruo, Yu Jueyao, Murong Yanzhi… all those people are Ding Hao’s old friends. Zhang Fan is Ding Hao’s best friend. Does it need a guess? They all are involved in such a matter. Hum. Those people who set the traitor free should be killed.”

“Does Elder Brother Lu intend to deal with them?” Zhang Wenzhao, the handsome swordsman, said in surprise. “Li Yiruo’s cousin Li Canyang, as the head of the Western Academy of Red Shirts, has strong influence. Yu Jueyao and Murong Yanzhi are not easy to deal with.”

“Haha. For those people, Elder Brother Lu has his own excellent plan. We don’t need to worry about it. Furthermore, traitors against the Sect should be killed. Anyone who was involved in it should be peeled, and even Li Canyang, the head of the Western Academy, hehe…“ The square-faced man, Tian Heng, showed his malice in his laughter undisguisedly as he continued, ” Elder Brother Lu has won three consecutive championships in the competition among the five academies and he deserves to be the first peron in the five academies; he is also favored by the superiors of the Sect in six peaks and six bases. Even if Ding Hao was reborn, he could do nothing about it. Hehe. We have nothing to fear.”

“That is true.” The handsome swordsman, Zhan Wenzhao, nodded and he felt a little relieved.

“Let us brothers hurry to eat, drink and rest, and we will start working soon,” Tian Heng gave a few words and shouted to ask waiters to serve dishes.

It was the meal time. There were so many people in the restaurant so that all tables were occupied. Tian Heng and the handsome swordsman Zhang Wenzhao took a table for five people, and other six young people in green shirts looked around and they finally gazed at a table where a lonely figure was sitting and there were still a few empty seats.

“This friend, we have to use this table, so you have to leave.” One of the young people in green shirt neared the table and said loudly.

The lonely figure had been keeping his head down and eating slowly, as if he had not heard what the young man said.

Even the white fat cat squatting beside him was squinting motionlessly..
