Chapter 16 One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death!

In the night, a boy was driving the carriage at a fast speed. In the carriage, a girl held the boy’s arm tightly. She rested her head on the boy’s shoulder with her eyes closed. Apparently she had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The boy cast a glance at the little girl beside him from time to time, and his eyes were full of love.

“You love your sister very much!”

At this time, the voice of the mysterious woman suddenly sounded in Ye Xuan’s head.

Upon hearing the voice of the mysterious woman, Ye Xuan was a little surprised. Then he smiled, “I am her brother, if I don’t spoil her, who will?”

The mysterious woman said, “You are qualified to be a brother.”

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “Predecessor, I heard that there is a Sword God who can cut a mountain or river with one sword strike. Is that true?”

The mysterious woman said, “It is true!”

Hearing her words, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a sense of yearning!

A Sword God!

Riding a sword between Heaven and Earth and overlooking the mountains and rivers, Ye Xuan wanted to do that too.

At this time, the mysterious woman said, “If you work hard, you will have the opportunity to become a Sword God!”

Ye Xuan grinned and said, “Yes, when I can rein the sword, I will take my sister to see this world.”

The mysterious woman said, “Look at your low expectations!”

Ye Xuan laughed and sped up.

After an hour, the sky turned bright in the east, but it rained!

Ye Xuan looked up at the sky. He found that it was raining harder and harder such that they couldn’t continue their way!

Ye Xuan sped up. Soon, he saw a mansion in the distant mountainside. Looking from the place where he stood, the mansion was somewhat dilapidated and looked even more desolate.

Seeing this mansion, Ye Xuan’s brow was slightly wrinkled. “How can there be a mansion in this deep mountain?”

He didn’t want to stay but the rain was getting heavier with wilder winds, a condition which was really not suitable for traveling!

Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then he took out the map that Li Yu gave him. On the map, he found his current location, and it was not marked as a dangerous place!

Ye Xuan was relieved a little bit, and then he parked the carriage in front of the mansion whose door was wide open.

Ye Xuan double-checked the mansion in front of him. Taking a closer look at it, he found that this mansion had obviously been abandoned for a long time and the foot of its surrounding walls was overgrown with weeds.

Seeing that the rain would not stop, Ye Xuan carried Ye Ling in this deserted mansion and they entered a lobby. In the lobby, two people were already there, an old man in a gray robe and a boy aged about 17 or 18. They sat next to each other, apparently they were together.

Seeing Ye Xuan and his sister, the old man drew back his sight after a quick look, while the teenager smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, then sat down with his sister.

Ye Xuan built a fire, then he took out two turkeys to roast.

Seeing this scene, the young boy’s eyes suddenly lit up, and then he ran in front of Ye Xuan and introduced himself, “I’m Jiang Muqi, how should I address you, bro?”

Ye Xuan looked at the boy and answered, “Ye Xuan!”

Jiang Muqi smiled, “We are destined to meet. What do you think?”

Ye Xuan pointed at the turkey on the fire before him. “Do you want some?”

Jiang Qi was startled, but immediately nodded vigorously.

Ye Xuan handed the boy a turkey, “Here you are!”

Jiang Muqi did not refuse. He took it and slowly roasted it himself.

Jiang Muqi glanced at Ye Xuan and smiled, “Dude, although you are only in the Qi Varying Realm, you have a solid foundation, so you are not much worse than me!”

Hearing him say this, Ye Xuan’s hand paused a little, but he quickly returned to normal. “You are unfathomable!”

The boy in front of him gave him this feeling!

In fact, he did not know that the boy thought the same of him!

The boy’s eyebrows were slightly raised, “Let’s play a few rounds?”

Seemingly thinking of something, he added, “Let’s stop where it should stop.”

At this time, the old man not far away suddenly said, “Don’t push it too far!”

Upon hearing Ye Lang’s words, Ye Ling, who was next to Ye Xuan, was a little unhappy. She glanced at the old man. “Sir, my brother is also very awesome. Maybe my brother will oppress him!”

The old man glanced at Ye Ling, “Really?”

Ye Ling looked at Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan smiled gently, “Then let’s play a few moves!”

Ye Xuan and Jiang Muqi walked aside. Jiang Muqi smiled, “Shall we start?”

Ye Xuan nodded.

Just after Ye Xuan nodded, Jiang Muqi disappeared instantly. The next moment, a fist punched Ye Xuan in the chest. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan’s fist also landed on the chest of Jiang Muqi!

“Bang! Bang!”

They retreated simultaneously in quick succession. After both of them stepped back nearly a dozen steps, they stopped at almost the same time!

Opposite Ye Xuan, Jiang Muqi looked Ye Xuan over and gasped, “Your physical body is much stronger than I imagined!”

Ye Xuan said, “You too.”

His punch on Jiang Muqiu just now felt like hitting an iron plate!

Jiang Muqi laughed and said, “There are really a lot of talents in Jiang Country. Ever since I came out of the Imperial Palace, I have seen…”

“Hum!”

At this time, the old man not far away suddenly made a noise.

Jiang Muqi looked at the old man somewhat helplessly. “Mr. Ge, if we need to be wary of everything when we travel outside, what’s the point?”

The old man shook his head. “In the outside world, people are complex.”

Jiang Muqi smiled, “There is no harm, I see that this bro is a nice man. He doesn’t look like the scheming villain type.”

As he said that, he looked at Ye Xuan and cupped his fists. “Bro Ye, I’m Jiang Muqi, the tenth Prince in Jiang Country!”

A Prince!

Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that he would meet a Prince of Jiang Country here!

Retracting his thoughts, Ye Xuan held his fists, “Ye Xuan, I’m a nobody!”

When Jiang Muqi heard this, he laughed aloud, “Bro Ye, with your strength, becoming famous is only a matter of time!”

Ye Xuan shook his head without speaking. He never cared about reputation. Very often, reputation could kill you!

At this time, the rain abated a little.

The old man got up, “Your Highness, it’s time to go.”

Jiang Muqi nodded slightly. He picked up the golden brown roast chicken, and then looked at Ye Xuan. “Bro Ye, I have to go somewhere else. I must say goodbye!”

Speaking of this, seemingly thinking of something, he took out a token and handed it to Ye Xuan, “Bro Ye, this is a token I carry with me which should be of some use to you in the Imperial Capital. Please do not refuse, Bro Ye, otherwise, I dare not eat your roast chicken!”

Ye Xuan glanced at Jiang Muqi and then accepted the jade pendant.

Seeing Ye Xuan accept the jade pendant, Jiang Muqi grinned and said, “See you again!”

After that, he and the old man turned and disappeared at the door of the lobby.

Ye Xuan watched their back, and he was silent for a long time.

Outside the mansion, the old man asked in a solemn voice, “Your Highness wants to draw him over to your side?”

Jiang Muqi gave a soft smile. “This person is a Sword Cultivator. In our contest before, we were evenly matched in strength, but he didn’t use his sword. If he uses a sword, I can’t say for certain who would win!”

With this, he turned to look at the ruined mansion. “He deserves to be valued by National Warrior An. It’s worthy for me to meet him after coming all this way.”

The old man hesitated a little, and then said, “This person has a solid foundation and a fine fighting capacity, but in the end, he is all alone and he has no aristocratic family or any clan sect behind him. Thus, his future is limited. Besides, he doesn’t belong to an aristocratic family and he has no background, which means he is of very little help to Your Highness. Perhaps that’s why the Great Prince and the Ninth Princess haven’t sent people to this Qing City.”

Jiang Muqi chuckled, “Eldest brother’s mother comes from the Yu Family, which is the second aristocratic family in Jiang Country, even my Father Emperor feels a little afraid of him. And my ninth sister was the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, who was in charge of almost half of the troops and horses in Jiang Country. The two of them naturally don’t care about these ordinary geniuses.”

The old man said, “Then why did Your Highness still come all the way here?”

Jiang Muqi said in a soft tone, “Compared to them, I don’t have any advantages. They can be picky but I can’t. Maybe my association with him today can be exchanged for a big help in the future?”

The old man shook his head. “Sword Cultivators are truly rare. However, if he is only a Sword Cultivator, it will make not much sense. Unless he is a Master in the Tao of the Sword, but how difficult is it to become a Master in the Tao of the Sword?”

“There is only one Master in the Tao of the Sword in Jiang Country!”

“And that person is already 90 years old!”

“Jiang Country hasn’t had a Master in the Tao of the Sword for nearly 50 years!”

…

In the lobby.

“Brother, was that person really a Prince?” Ye Ling asked curiously.

Ye Xuan nodded. “He should be a real one.”

Ye Ling whispered, “He seemed to be deliberately waiting for brother here!”

Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Ling and smiled, “Even in aristocratic families, some people have to form cliques to strengthen their own forces, let alone people from the royal families.”

With this, he gently rubbed Ye Ling’s little head, “Now brother only wants to cure your typhoid fever. I don’t have any interest in fighting for wealth and privilege.”

Ye Ling gently hugged Ye Xuan, “Brother, can I also cultivate in the future?”

Ye Xuan said with a smile, “Of course, you can. But it is still okay if you can’t. Your brother will try to become stronger and protect you forever!”

Ye Ling smiled sweetly and then hugged Ye Xuan tightly. “I want my brother to protect me, but I want to protect my brother more.”

Ye Xuan was going to speak. But at this moment, a voice came from the side. “You two siblings really have a good relationship!”

As the voice fell, an old man came in!

The coming person was Qin Yue, the elder of the Qin Family.

Seeing him, Ye Xuan’s right hand slowly gripped. He glanced at Ye Ling and said, “Go to the side!”

Ye Ling looked at the old man and then whispered, “Brother, be, be careful!”

After that, she obediently retreated to the side.

Qin Yue sized Ye Xuan up and then said, “Hand over those Spiritual Stones, and I’ll leave you and your sister two whole dead bodies.”

Ye Xuan’s two fists clenched, his face was blue and green, but he did not speak.

Qin Yue sneered coldly, “What? Are you going to fight? You are just in the Qi Varying Realm, but I am already in the Ascending Realm! Killing you won’t even need a single strike from me!”

Although he said so, he was guarded secretly.

At his level and age, naturally he was not stupid and so he would never underestimate his enemies!

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “If I hand it over, will you give me and my sister a chance to live?”

Qin Yue’s eyes slightly narrowed, “Are you bargaining with me?”

Saying this, his right hand slowly clenched. In an instant, his clothes bulged, and he was like a male lion that was ready to attack.

Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then he took out the black bag and threw it at Qin Yue. Upon seeing the black bag, Qin Yue was very delighted. He immediately caught the bag, right at this point, Ye Xuan suddenly appeared before him!

Qin Yue’s face stayed unchanged, he sneered, “I knew that you would play tricks!”

As he said this, he turned up his right hand and then pressed his hand down sharply.

“Sizzle!”

A Qi explosion sounded in the field!

“Bang!”

Just after Ye Xuan launched his punch, he was pushed into a wall dozens of meters away.

The old man beat back Ye Xuan with one strike but he did not stop. Instead, he sprinted straight to Ye Xuan and pounced on him. Not far away, Ye Ling’s face changed dramatically, “Brother!”

She rushed to Ye Xuan’s front, and then hugged Ye Xuan tightly!

The old man did not stop but continued to hit towards the siblings with his palm, to be exact, he sent a slap towards Ye Ling!

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan was so angered that his eyes seemed about to pop out. This moment, his mind went blank.

The old man’s palm was getting closer and closer.

At this point, Ye Xuan suddenly pulled Ye Ling behind him. The next moment, the Ling Xiao Sword appeared in his hands, and in a flash, a low whirring hum of the sword sounded in the field.

In this sword strike, he had only but one idea!

To kill!

He must kill him!

One sword strike decides life and death!

At the same time, the voice of the mysterious woman suddenly sounded in the prison tower. “This guy… He will have a strong desire to kill only when someone is about to touch his sister.”
