Chapter 154: Point-Blank Range? This Girl Is Way Too Fierce!
“The Sword God is fake?!”
In the crowd, Elder Li and Lin Mofeng’s expressions changed drastically as they simultaneously looked up at the black-robed man above.
If this Sword God was fake…
Then this matter had become extremely serious!
Currently inside Sword Valley.
There were too many innocent civilians below, and even more curious citizens were gathering upon hearing the news. In just moments, the entire Sword Valley would be packed with people.
Moreover.
On the viewing platform now.
Many high-ranking officials from Jianghai City had arrived nearby, preparing to meet with the Sword God. If they fell into the enemy’s trap, the consequences would be unimaginable!
“Xuan Xuan, are you sure?”
Elder Li’s expression was grave. Given the importance of the matter, he didn’t dare be careless and whispered through transmitted voice: “Do you have any evidence?”
“Is there something wrong with this person’s aura?”
Lin Mofeng frowned, also speculating from the side.
With cheers echoing throughout Sword God Valley, if they continued to let this fake Sword God pretend, the consequences would likely spiral completely out of control!
“Yes, I’m certain.”
Li Zixuan gazed at the Sword God high in the sky, her eyes sharp and cold as she nodded, “He absolutely cannot be the Jianghai Sword God!”
As she spoke, she lowered her voice: “Teacher, Senior Brother Lin, if you don’t believe me, I’ll go test him out. That should reveal his true colors!”
As her words fell.
Elder Li frowned, pondered for a moment, then slowly untied the sword from his back and handed it to Li Zixuan.
“Take my sword as a precaution. Remember to escape if possible, don’t be overconfident!”
“Yes, I understand.”
Li Zixuan nodded, accepted Elder Li’s sword, and directly left the crowd.
The next moment.
A clear shout echoed through the mountains.
“Your junior Li Zixuan pays respects to Sword God Senior!”
The crowd erupted in surprise as Li Zixuan leaped high above the crowd, directly flying up to the sky, her white clothes fluttering like a celestial being descending to earth.
The black-robed man looked at the approaching Li Zixuan, his brow furrowing tightly.
“Li Zixuan…”
This name sounded quite familiar?
After brief consideration, the black-robed man’s eyes lit up.
He remembered.
That Jianghai’s number one sword talent?!
…………
Meanwhile.
In the library.
Qin Yang was holding Xiaobai, closing his eyes to concentrate, fully focused in the corner on comprehending the knowledge from the “True Explanation of Crafting.”
Layer by layer, he analyzed and dissected, thoroughly understanding it.
This crafting method contained various techniques of artifact forging, requiring complete concentration.
Just as he was deeply focused.
Suddenly!
“Master, he’s appeared!”
Li Qinghe came running over from the neighboring Sector 2, holding her phone, urgently standing before Qin Yang while excitedly pointing at the device.
“Tsk, what’s the rush?”
Hearing the noise, Qin Yang slightly frowned, emerging from his comprehension state somewhat displeased: “How did I teach you before? Stay calm.”
“No, Master, this time it’s really important!”
Li Qinghe said, excitedly pointing at the phone screen, “Martial Grandfather has really returned! He’s at Sword Valley right now, look quickly!”
“If he’s appeared, then he’s appeared…”
Qin Yang sighed. When he saw the Sword God’s video this morning, he had already anticipated this scene and wasn’t particularly surprised.
This act of the real and fake Monkey Kings.
There wasn’t much point in continuing to watch.
“But, Master, Zixuan-mei is there too!”
Li Qinghe handed over the phone, opening the live stream as she excitedly said: “Zixuan-mei just reunited with Martial Grandfather!”
“Reunited? That’s your Martial Aunt, don’t be so disrespectful.”
Qin Yang emphasized, reaching out to take Li Qinghe’s phone and glancing at it briefly.In the live stream.
Sword Valley was swept by fierce winds, pine forests surged like waves, and the noisy crowd gathered on the ground, shielding their eyes from the sun as they collectively gazed skyward.
Li Zixuan hovered high in the air, clutching the Sword Case, conversing with a Black-Robed Man while the scene below erupted in excitement.
“So she did see through it after all.”
Qin Yang watched the live feed, unsurprised.
The disparity in demeanor and subtle mannerisms were incredibly difficult to imitate.
At best, that Black-Robed Man could only manage a clumsy imitation based on online videos, fooling only the ignorant masses.
But encountering Li Zixuan?
She’d likely spot the deception in an instant!
Now, what concerned Qin Yang more was:
“What is this girl planning?”
Expose him directly?
Or confront him head-on?
“She’s as bold as ever!”
With that thought, Qin Yang handed the phone back to Li Qinghe, rose from the stool, and stretched lazily.
“Master, where are you going?”
Seeing this, Li Qinghe quickly followed, sticking close to Qin Yang.
This was a critical moment.
Whether she could meet her grandmaster hinged entirely on this.
She had to cling tightly to that Qin fellow!
Determined, Li Qinghe wrapped her arms around Qin Yang’s and cooed softly, “Master, if you’re going to see grandmaster, take me with you, please?”
“I beg you…”
“I’m going to pee.”
Qin Yang shook off her arm and strode toward the men’s restroom without looking back.
“Master, I need to pee too…”
“Get lost!”
……………
Sword God Valley.
High above.
“The Sword Dao genius of Jianghai?”
The Black-Robed Man hovered mid-air, his robes rustling in the wind. Studying Li Zixuan before him, he suddenly recalled something.
He’d seen far too many so-called “geniuses” like her!
In his century-long existence, this world never lacked for prodigies.
Some fell prematurely, others faded into obscurity—only those who endured to the end were true victors!
Moreover.
Such Sword Dao geniuses often developed an obsession to apprentice under the strongest masters and refine their skills!
With this realization.
Remembering the Sword God’s status in Jianghai City, he instantly understood.
So this woman came to seek apprenticeship!
“I see!”
Chuckling heartily, the Black-Robed Man addressed Li Zixuan gently, “Well? What business have you with me?”
As his words faded.
Li Zixuan’s brow furrowed deeply, her silver teeth clenched. That single sentence alone proved this wasn’t her master!
First.
Her master would never fail to recognize her.
Second, he never referred to himself as “this seat”!
Retreating a step, she tested cautiously, “Might I ask why Sword God Senior has come here?”
“Why has this seat come?”
The Black-Robed Man looked down upon the citizens below and laughed boisterously:
“Having saved Jianghai so many times, should this seat come for nothing? It’s time to collect some devotion!”
With a cold sneer, he added, “Now that Jianghai City is in chaos and the people suffer, if everyone offers devotion, this seat shall naturally act to deliver you from this sea of misery!”
His voice
echoed like thunder through Sword Valley, stirring resonance among the masses below.
“Lord Sword God speaks truth!”
“Save us, money is no object!”
“It’s time we repaid our debt!”
“……”
Just as everyone praised the Sword God.Suddenly!
“All of you, shut up!”
Clang!
A longsword was drawn, its cold gleam laced with killing intent, instantly enveloping the entire Sword Valley.
Li Zixuan was burning with rage, the icy blade pointed at the Black-Robed Man. The young woman’s voice echoed through Sword Valley, ringing in everyone’s ears.
“Deceiving and swindling, no different from an Evil Cult!”
“What are you trying to achieve by impersonating Sword God Senior?!!”
