Volume 17: The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword (Part 2) Chapter 403 Everyone in the World Knows
Su Weiyun was not worried that Shangguan Jinhong would be able to decipher the secrets and crack the sword techniques from the "Thirteen Deadly Swords" sword manual.
Because the most crucial ones among the Thirteen Deadly Swords are actually the "Fourteenth Deadly Sword" and the "Fifteenth Deadly Sword".
The first thirteen swords of the fatal sword are roots and stems, and the last two swords are leaves and flowers. The roots and stems are the foundation, but if you want to achieve brilliance and glory, you must have flowers and leaves.
On the other hand, Su Weiyun and Li Xunhuan’s “three-year agreement” has now entered its second year, and in the final year, their disciples will compete.
At that time, if Su Weiyun could obtain the "third place in the weapon list", the mission would be completed, breaking through all the fog and revealing the ultimate secret of Jianghu Su's command.
Compared to this big secret, other things that are not related to it can be put aside for the time being.
So now, unless it is absolutely necessary, Su Weiyun will try his best to avoid any more trouble with Shangguan Jinhong.
As for the sword manual of the Thirteen Deadly Swords, it was taken away. It could be used as a stopgap measure to delay Shangguan Jinhong's actions.
Because it is almost impossible to fully comprehend the changes of the deadly fifteenth sword within just one year.
——Even if Shangguan Jinhong is a strong man who has reached the state of "no sword in hand, no sword in the heart", it is extremely difficult to do.
Unless Su Weiyun practiced each sword move in front of him, Shangguan Jinhong would only get a book of excellent sword techniques for killing people, which would be nothing.
The snow is still falling and time is passing by quickly.
It is already deep winter.
Ordinary families were already preparing wine, meat, firecrackers, and peach charms for the New Year; and after Su Weiyun had Lu Fengxian to help him "look after the house", he really never had any unnecessary troubles.
All those who went "treasure hunting", no matter if they were from famous and upright families or evil sects, were sent back without any courtesy by Lu Fengxian.
Over time, no one was so blind as to dare to come here to disturb Su Weiyun and Li Bufu.
Li Bufu was practicing martial arts in the yard.
His progress was not extremely fast, but it was definitely not slow either. Perhaps he was not a genius like Di Qinglin, but he was also gifted and progressed rapidly.
"I have already given away the Seven Birds Palm, Withered and Flourishing Zen, Thirteen Deadly Swords, and Bodhidharma Swordsmanship to those who are destined to learn them. You probably have no chance of learning them. Besides, you want to learn swordsmanship, so none of these are suitable for you."
"The mental method that Master originally practiced was the 'Wedding Dress Magic Skill', and its secret manual is engraved on a few boxes. I will slowly write it out. You will start practicing from the first level. I believe that one year will be enough for you to cultivate a strong internal strength foundation."
Li Bufu nodded as if he understood, but hesitated to speak.
Su Weiyun saw his doubts and said, "What do you want to ask?"
Li Bufu said: "What I want to ask has nothing to do with this. So I'll ask Master at dinner time tonight."
Su Weiyun said: "Why not, just tell me what you want to ask. Maybe I can't answer you right away, and I have to think about it until dinner time before I can tell you the answer."
Li Bufu asked, "Master, the third move of the Thirteen Deadly Swords you mentioned...is it called 'Heartbreaking Death'?"
Su Weiyun suddenly frowned: "How did you know?"
Li Bufu said, "I went out yesterday and heard people in the bar talking about it. One moment they were talking about 'heart-breaking death', and the next moment someone was saying that this move was not as good as 'heart-breaking death'..."
"A group of young-looking swordsmen gathered together and had a heated discussion. They also mentioned your name, Master."
"Oh? Take me to see it."
Su Weiyun pushed open the door. It was snowing outside. The two of them, wrapped in thick cotton jackets, walked all the way to the tavern that used to be Xingyun Manor.
…
The tavern has a new owner and the hunchback is long gone.
The business in the tavern seemed to be even better, with jars of wine, plates of peanuts, and pieces of beef being served up one after another.
There were quite a lot of people in the tavern, and it was very noisy. There were also gusts of sword wind, rustling, and even iron swords clashing, making a constant "ding-dang-dang" sound.
There aren't usually many visitors in winter, so why is it so unusually busy here?
Su Weiyun ordered two plates of peanuts in the corner and threw the question to the boss.
The boss laughed and said, "I don't know why, but since seven days ago, many swordsmen have come to my tavern. At first, there were only two or three, but after they settled down here, more and more people came."
Su Weiyun glanced around and saw that there were at least a dozen swordsmen crowded in the small tavern, all of them young and energetic.
The boss stared at the sword on Su Weiyun's waist curiously and asked, "Are you a swordsman too?"
Su Weiyun said: "Me too."
The boss whispered, "I heard that you all came here to kill a man named Lu Fengxian. Is that true? If it's true, you must tell me in detail so that I can hide away for a while."
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "They didn't tell you?"
The boss said, "They didn't say a word to me. How could they be as friendly as you, sir?"
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "Young man, you also had your youthful vigor, you should be able to understand them."
"Boss, get another bottle of wine! Bring out the good wine here, don't just drink this cheap wine that tastes like horse urine!"
The boss shook his head and turned back to serve the wine.
Su Weiyun and Li Bufu sat down leisurely and listened quietly to what these young people were talking about.
"Your move of 'chasing souls and taking lives' is not working well, just watch me!"
A young man pushed his companion aside with a swagger, took out a silver sword inlaid with several large gems, and swung it lightly, shaking his wrist to create a sword flower.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
A wooden table suddenly broke into pieces, chopped into several pieces and fell to the ground.
"Hahaha, this is the real Thirteen Deadly Swords! Boss, how much is this table? I'll pay you ten times as much!"
The young man was very proud and danced with his sword.
"That's not a sword move of yours. You're just relying on the power of your sword!"
"If you have the ability, try using a sword!"
Another young man, who looked a little plain, came out. He might be even younger, and his sword was a few inches shorter.
whoosh!
He didn't say anything extra, just thrust his sword straight out.
The sword made a whistling sound as it was lifted up by the wind, and as it pushed forward with great force, the tip of the sword had already reached the chest of the man just now.
His sword was indeed quite swift.
"Your trick is just to chop the table. My sword is a sword that kills people. This is the fifth move of the Thirteen Deadly Swords, 'Destroying the Heart and Taking Life'!"
He stood in the center, waiting for the cheers and envy of the crowd.
"You have actually learned the fifth form?"
“That’s amazing!”
As expected, he immediately became the center of the world.
"Do you think that we can defeat Lu Fengxian, who ranks fifth on the weapon list, with the Thirteen Deadly Swords?"
"Of course! Lu Fengxian has been in seclusion for more than ten years, so his martial arts skills must be much worse than before; and we are learning the most brilliant swordsmanship in the world, how can we not beat him?"
"Okay, then I'll go kill him tomorrow! You guys just stand by and watch!"
Su Weiyun didn't care whether they could defeat Lu Fengxian, he was only curious about one thing.
"Excuse me, where did you get the sword skills secret manual?"
Su Weiyun could see that the sword skills they used were the genuine Thirteen Deadly Swords, without any falsehood.
"You don't know yet?"
A young man standing at the edge looked over and saw the two swords hanging from Su Weiyun's waist. He smiled and asked, "Are you a swordsman too?"
"That's right. I think the leader of the Money Gang, Shangguan, felt that your level was not good enough to practice the Thirteen Deadly Swords, so he didn't send anyone to give you the secret manual."
The young man came over, patted Su Weiyun on the shoulder and said, "You can learn from us. There are notes from Gang Leader Shangguan on it. I guarantee that within a month, you will be able to learn the first three swords!"
He obviously didn't know that the person in front of him was the master of the "Thirteen Deadly Swords" and the original owner of the sword manual.
"It turns out that Shangguan Jinhong spread the sword manual..."
Su Weiyun really didn't expect that after Shangguan Jinhong got the sword manual, he would actually announce the sword technique to the martial arts world, let the world know, and teach all swordsmen to practice it!
