Chapter 7: Massacre and Destruction "You... don't you want to live anymore? I am the true disciple of the Mangcang Sword Sect. You, a mere Lishui River God, have insulted me like this. Even if you join the Taoshen Sect, you will not have a good ending!"Zhang Qian smiled softly upon hearing this: "That's not something you need to worry about. Come on, tell me, how does the "Light Splitting Sword Technique" in this jade slip rank in the Mangcang Sword Sect? What's so special about it?" Zhang Qian held a white jade slip in his hand. This jade slip was obtained from Qiao Jinning's storage bag. There were two jade slips, some miscellaneous spiritual herbs, some strange metal ores, and in addition, the incense beads in Qiao Jinning's storage bag. Qiao Jinning came out this time to collect the incense beads collected by the river god under the Mangcang Sword Sect. Now all the beads he collected fell into Zhang Qian's hands. "Hmph! Just wait, you'd better not fall into my hands, or I will drain your blood essence, chop off your limbs, throw you into the mire and watch you rot, turning you into a real loach!" Zhang Qian's face turned cold: "You are so vicious at such a young age, you really need to be disciplined." After bringing Qiao Jinning to the hall, Zhang Qian sat on the shell throne. Seeing the cowering Yin Lianhong, Zhang Qian ordered, "Don't just stand there and watch. Come over here and slap him hard!" Silver-faced and Red-faced looked bitter and said, "Sir, what you are doing is a fight to the death with the Mangcang Sword Sect. Let's run quickly. Qiao Jinning is a true disciple of the Mangcang Sword Sect. If you hit him now, it will be a huge disaster!" "Yes, sir. I heard that Qiao Jinning's master is a powerful being at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm. He might be on his way here right now." Hong Lian secretly glanced at Qiao Jinning and was frightened by Qiao Jinning's hateful look. "Humph, since I've offended you, you two should stop talking nonsense and just listen to me. Beat him up." Silver-faced and Red-faced looked at each other and said in unison, "I hope you won't abandon us in the future, otherwise we will be caught and tortured severely."
Zhang Qian waved his hand and said, "Of course. If you two are loyal to me, you will definitely get some benefits. Now is the time to verify your loyalty." Silver-Faced's eyes turned fierce, knowing that his master was about to surrender. If he and Red-Faced did not take action, the outcome would be bad. Judging from his master's actions, he seemed to be betraying the Mangcang Sword Sect. "Ah...! Watch me!" With a roar, Silver Face and Red Face jumped in front of Qiao Jinning and slapped him hard with their huge hands, making a loud slapping sound! "Ah! You are so brave! Stop it! You are courting death!" Qiao Jinning was stunned. As a prodigy of the Mangcang Sword Sect, he had never suffered such a punishment. Soon he burst into tears, uttering vicious curses while crying, and stared at Zhang Qian with his eyes as if they were about to spit fire. "stop!" Seeing Qiao Jinning's cheeks getting red and swollen, Zhang Qian stopped Yinmian and Hongmian and smiled playfully: "How do you feel?" “It’s awesome!” Silver Face and Red Face have given it their all. Qiao Jinning said nothing, but just looked at Zhang Qian with resentment. "Tell me, how is this "Split Light and Glimpse Shadow Sword Technique" in the Mangcang Sword Sect?" Qiao Jinning gritted his teeth, knowing that if he didn't say anything, he would definitely be beaten again. He also knew that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. Although he thought of countless ways to torture Zhang Qian, he couldn't implement these methods now. He could only answer honestly: "This... This sword technique is a sword technique that can only be practiced by the inner disciples of the Mangcang Sword Sect. The sword technique contains the mystery of sword energy differentiation. It is a rare sword technique. This kind of sword technique..." After explaining the power of the sword technique, Qiao Jinning stopped talking immediately. "Is that so? Then what about this "Nine Palace Sword Technique"? " Zhang Qian changed to another sword technique. "The Positive and Negative Nine Palace Sword Technique is a sword technique that can only be practiced by true disciples. It contains the profound meaning of sword energy forming a net and moving back and forth." Zhang Qian nodded and gained some understanding of the swordsmanship of the Xihuang world. Although Zhang Qian was a powerful golden immortal in the prehistoric times, he was killed by Luohou's self-explosion before he had time to practice any killing methods. It can be said that he only had the golden immortal realm but did not have the corresponding magical powers. He only had the innate magical powers of the ancient dragon loach. The "Spectral Sword Technique" and the "Positive and Negative Nine Palace Sword Technique" are already pretty good sword techniques. Although the Mangcang Sword Sect is not an eternal sect, it is also a large sect with a great reputation in Xingyun Province. Of course, they are far behind the four eternal sects in Xingyun Province, namely Jianhu Palace, Xinghai Divine Sword Pavilion, Chisong Mountain and Cangjian Cave. These four sects are all eternal sects that dominate the cultivation world in Xingyun Province and have infinite power.
"Yes, you are quite honest. Silver Face and Red Face, suppress him and lock him up. He has been hit by my petrification magic, so he has no chance to send a message to the Mangcang Sword Sect. Don't panic." Silver Face and Red Face asked nervously, "How do you plan to deal with him, sir?" Zhang Qian touched his chin, feeling a bit troubled. Qiao Jinning was a true disciple of the Mangcang Sword Sect, and he must not die in his hands. His master was a powerful being at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm. If Zhang Qian killed Qiao Jinning, it could be easily predicted. "It seems I have to think of a way to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Qiao Jinning hates me so much. If I let him go, who knows what kind of trouble he will bring to me." After thinking for a while, Zhang Qian's eyes turned and he made a plan. He shot a stream of ochre-colored light at Qiao Jinning, completely petrifying Qiao Jinning. At first glance, he looked like a stone statue. "You two take him down first. I will decide how to deal with him." Silver-faced Red-faced carried Qiao Jinning to the water mansion cellar, where he was petrified by Zhang Qian's magic spell. With Qiao Jinning's current level of cultivation, he couldn't break free. However, Zhang Qian returned to the backyard and prepared to practice the two sword techniques he had just learned. These two sword techniques were not difficult for Zhang Qian. After scanning with his mind, he had completely memorized the essence of the two sword techniques and also remembered all the moves in his mind. This is the benefit of having a strong mind. However, remembering is one thing, and just remembering is useless. If you want to unleash the power of these two sword techniques, the most important thing is to be able to comprehend the sword intent in the sword techniques. This sword intent cannot be comprehended casually. Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi...! Zhang Qian held a long sword and began to practice the two sword techniques in the backyard. He now possessed a huge force of ten thousand pounds and his body was extremely powerful. As he danced with the sword, strange sword shadows flashed and thousands of cold stars exploded, wrapping himself up. In just half an hour, Zhang Qian had practiced the sword moves of the two sword techniques very skillfully. Unfortunately, he could not understand the sword intent in the two sword techniques. Without the sword intent, the two sword techniques were just ordinary moves, no different from those sword moves in the secular martial arts world. Only with the sword intent can the true power of the two sword techniques be brought into play. Putting away the sword, Zhang Qian closed his eyes and immersed his mind in the two sword techniques. "The Sword Technique of Splitting Light and Gliding Shadows is mainly based on stabbing. The sword strikes require extreme speed, the faster the better. The sword intent requires the division of sword energy, and the speed of sword energy is extremely fast. It looks very simple, but this sword intent is a little too ethereal." As for the "Positive and Negative Nine Palace Sword Techniques", this set of sword techniques is different. It emphasizes anticipating the enemy's moves. The sword energy pierces out like deploying troops and battle formations. It contains the mystery of the formation and transforms into a sword net to trap the enemy and cut off the enemy's retreat. Zhang Qian was even more confused about the sword meaning of this sword technique, because the sword meaning of this sword technique was the Nine Palaces Arrangement and the Positive and Negative Sumeru. Without a certain foundation in formation, it was impossible to comprehend the sword meaning of this sword technique. Just when his mind was immersed in the sword intent, the broken jade deep in his mind moved. The broken jade jumped slightly, attracting all of Zhang Qian's attention. "This is?" Before Zhang Qian could express his curiosity, the broken jade absorbed all of Zhang Qian's mind. Then Zhang Qian saw a strange scene. The center of the broken jade seemed to be an ethereal and illusory world. In this illusory world, there was nothing else but magnificent treasures! "The Jade Butterfly of Good Fortune, Pangu's Divine Banner, the Four Swords of the Immortal Slayer, the God-killing Spear, the World-annihilating Black Lotus, the Heavenly Demon Pagoda, the Tai Chi Diagram, the Qiankun Cauldron, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, the Mountain and River State Diagram... these are the most precious treasures!" Zhang Qian was speechless. In this illusory world, there were numerous treasures floating. Zhang Qian recognized each one of them. They were all innate spiritual treasures from the ancient world! "Eh..., that's not right, these treasures are all fake, they are just illusory images!" With a quick glance, Zhang Qian knew immediately that these thrilling treasures were all illusory images and not real treasures. And just as his mind swept over the images of these treasures, the Four Zhu Xian Swords among them instantly flew out and sank straight into Zhang Qian's mind. choke! The four magic swords vibrated, and the Zhuxian Sword, Luxian Sword, Xianxian Sword and Juexian Sword floated up and down in Zhang Qian's mind. Then, in his shocked eyes, the four magic swords exploded and turned into infinite killing sword lights. Finally, the sword lights condensed together and turned into four sword-shaped marks of different colors and murderous aura. The four sword-shaped marks were immersed in the depths of Zhang Qian's mind, and there was no movement anymore. hum! He lightly swept his mind over the four sword-shaped marks. The other marks did not move at all. Only the sword-shaped mark representing the Zhu Xian Sword trembled slightly, and a torrent of information emerged! "what……!" Zhang Qian only felt his head swelling and was overwhelmed by endless information. After a long while, he opened his eyes again, his eyes were bright and filled with ecstasy. "Hahahaha! I see, that's how it is!" The torrent of information just now was clearly the Immortal Sword's Immortal Sword Intent! This was the infusion of sword intent! "So that's how it is. There are many illusory images of treasures in this broken jade, and each one represents a magical power that matches it! Just now, I practiced two sword techniques, trying to comprehend the sword intent, and then I activated the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying in the broken jade. The Four Swords of Immortal Slaying are clearly four supreme sword techniques!"
Zhang Qian realized instantly that each of those illusory treasures in the broken jade was a kind of magical power. As long as Zhang Qian could trigger one of them, he would receive the method of practicing this magical power. So many treasures meant that one day Zhang Qian would be able to cultivate all kinds of incredible supreme magical powers! (End of this chapter)
