Chapter 42: The Borrower of Swords
The swordsman spoke righteously and did not dare to refute the man with a single word.
Then he looked at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, clasped his fists and said:
"I'm sorry to have frightened you two. What happened today is due to my failure to discipline my subordinates in the Qi Jue Hall. Please don't blame me."
"I dare not ."
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun felt it was not appropriate to continue sitting there, as it might seem like they were being too arrogant, so they stood up and clasped their fists in return.
But the sword wielder suddenly turned his eyes and looked at the sword box beside Su Mo.
There was a sudden stern look in his eyes:
"Hmm? You two, what is this? Why do you have it in your hands?"
Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean by that, Sword Master?"
"What do you mean? I think you know it very well!"
The sword master suddenly changed his attitude and became aggressive and sharp:
"This item belongs to my Qi Jue Hall, but it was stolen by this person!"
He pointed at the man on the ground, and that man was also dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
The sword master looked coldly at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun: "I thought you two were really implicated in this matter. I didn't expect that you and this person were actually in cahoots with each other. Now it seems that we have caught the criminal red-handed, and there is no need to say more. Now, do you voluntarily follow me to the Qi Jue Hall , or do you want me to take you down?"
“Fart…Fart!!!”
The man on the ground wanted to turn over, but failed to do so. He simply sat on the ground and pointed at the sword master of the Seven Absolutes Hall and cursed:
"You still have the nerve to call yourself a reputable and upright person? You are framing others and making up stories as if it were a child's play. What ?"
"Is it your turn as a thief to make irresponsible remarks here?"
"I!"
The man was speechless, his face flushed as he managed to say: "There is a code of conduct for thieves!!!"
"A thief is a thief, and a robber is a robber!"
The Sword Master replied coldly, then looked at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun: "I don't think you two are that despicable. If you are deceived by a villain at such a young age, you will inevitably make mistakes. If you are willing to go back to Qi Jue Hall with me, there is still room for maneuver. Otherwise..."
"Hahaha!"
Su Mo couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "What a Qi Jue Tang, to act like this really opened my eyes tonight. This sword master...did he treat me like a three-year-old child?"
"I'm afraid he's less than three years old."
Yang Xiaoyun shook his head gently: "If it is a three-year-old naughty boy, at least he knows one thing..."
"What's the reason?"
Su Mo glanced at Yang Xiaoyun.
"When you are in someone else's territory, you naturally have to accept what they say. You have to admit that someone is calling a deer a horse. Your life and death are controlled by others, so how can you have a say?"
"That makes sense."
Su Mo nodded repeatedly, then looked at the Sword Master: "Sword Master, I also have some good advice for you. I see that although you are not a good person, you are not blinded by greed. The thing behind me has nothing to do with you, and you may not know the origin of this thing. Are you not afraid of causing disaster and bringing trouble to your entire Qi Jue Hall? Burn it down?"
“Okay, okay!”
The sword master pointed his finger and said, "It seems that you are stubborn and unyielding!"
As soon as the words fell, a series of clanging sounds were heard, and everyone in the Qi Jue Hall drew their swords, with murderous auras pointing at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun from afar.
Yang Xiaoyun smiled casually and was about to take a step forward when he heard a voice coming from not far away.
"You... stop it."
The voice sounded somewhat lazy, as if a few more words would tire the speaker to death, so after saying two words, there was a short pause before the other two words were uttered weakly.
However, although the person who spoke was weak, his voice was clearly heard by everyone.
Everyone in Qi Jue Hall was slightly stunned, and the sword master's eyes flashed and he saw that person.
The man was standing at the border of shadow and light, looking shabby and dishevelled, with a sleepy look on his face, but it was unknown how long he had not slept.
After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and yawned loudly.
Then he nodded and said with a stronger tone: "Well, stop it."
"Where did this branch come from?"
The sword master frowned slightly and glanced at the man: "You are with them, so you should come with us."
“No.”
The man shook his head.
The sword master laughed angrily upon hearing this: "It's not up to you!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple from the Qi Jue Hall jumped over and pointed his sword at the man's forehead.
Although the sword master spoke arrogantly, he was still cautious towards this person whose background was unknown and who didn't understand the situation.
Let his men go and test it. If they can kill with one sword, then there will be no mystery. If they cannot kill him, then at least they will be able to see 100% of his strength.
However, there was a flash of sword light, and a dead figure fell to the ground.
But it was not the one with sleepy eyes and a skin condition like a dog-skin plaster, but the disciple of Qi Jue Hall.
He clearly had a sword in his hand and had already used all his moves.
However, somehow, the long sword had already reached the palm of the sleepy man, and the blade pierced through the forehead of the Qi Jue Tang disciple.
The sword flashed and was pulled out from between the eyebrows. Blood spilled on the ground. The man holding the sword still had a sleepy and lazy look on his face.
He didn't even look at the corpse, but just looked at the sword in his hand.
The next moment, his expression showed a second ...disgust.
"Rotten sword."
The sword itself is not rotten, but when these words were spoken, the incorruptible sword became a rotten sword.
Just because, along with the words, his fingers also fell.
With a flick of his finger, the sword blade broke into two pieces with a clang.
The skill of breaking the sword with these two fingers is nothing, but the method of taking the sword and killing people before is somewhat shocking.
The sword master's eyes were uncertain: "Who are you, sir?"
"The one who borrowed the sword."
While the man was speaking, he came to the confrontation between the Sword Master and Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun. He turned his back to Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun and faced the Sword Master: "I want to borrow their sword... They want to give the sword to someone else. Before they give it to someone else, this sword cannot be stolen by someone with ulterior motives... Yes, I'm talking about you."
“…”
The sword master twitched his lips and said, "Are you going to meddle in the affairs of my Qi Jue Tang?"
"……what is that?"
The person who borrowed the sword seemed a little confused.
The sword master was stunned: "What?"
"I'm asking...what is the Qi Jue Hall?"
After the borrower finished speaking, he shook his head and yawned: "Forget it, it's not important..."
The sword master's face turned pale and blue, and he gritted his teeth for a moment:
"Okay, okay, the rivers and lakes are deep and there are many ghosts who are not afraid of death. So don't blame me for going on a killing spree today!!!"
