Chapter 2354 - 1848: Kunlun’s Jian Qingfeng!
First update, requesting subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...
At this moment, Qin Fang was also somewhat impatient and immediately reached out to pick this "Little Medicine King," not even paying attention to the changes in the surroundings. His eyes were only on that "Little Medicine King" Seven-leaf Ganoderma!
Swish~~
Just then, a sharp Sword Qi rapidly attacked, reaching Qin Fang's side almost instantly. The Sword Qi surged, subtly exuding strands of Sword Intent, giving an extreme sense of danger...
Clang clang clang!!!
Facing such an assassination attempt, Qin Fang wouldn't just sit idle. He couldn't even bother to pick the "Little Medicine King" first. The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword immediately appeared in his hand, and his body spun around as he swiftly counterattacked...
Both parties moved incredibly fast, at extreme speed, a series of clashes of the longswords sounded rather pleasant yet each strike was extremely dangerous.
In this flash of electricity and light, both exchanged hundreds of sword strikes, yet neither could break through the other's defense, reaching a stalemate...
"Great sword technique..."
Qin Fang had encountered quite a few Sword Dao experts. Behind Xu Jiao was the Xu family, with many Sword Cultivators, several with impressive Sword Dao cultivation. However, Xu family members primarily cultivated Sword Intent, slightly lacking in sword technique.
But this opponent before him seemed to have just recently grasped Sword Intent, not very pure in execution, yet their sword technique was so admirable that Qin Fang couldn't help but praise. Qin Fang relied entirely on his formidable personal reaction speed and the Scouting Skill of One-Handed Weapon Mastery to barely withstand the onslaught.
"You are quite good too..."
Upon hearing Qin Fang's admiration, the opponent took a step back, swiftly leaping out of the battle circle, coldly gazing at Qin Fang, also casually responding.
This scene had a taste of heroic rivalry.
"I am Qin Fang, may I inquire..."
At this time, Qin Fang also courteously clasped his fists, introduced himself, and inquired about the opponent's origin, naturally deploying a Scouting Skill towards the opponent—though the minimap was unusable, the Scouting Skill remained unaffected.
"I am Jian Qingfeng of the Kunlun Sect..."
However, before Qin Fang's scouting result returned, the opponent sheathed his sword and clasped fists in greeting.
"A Kunlun disciple? It seems the river overflows the Dragon King's Temple, family doesn't recognize family..."
Upon hearing the opponent voluntarily declare their affiliation, Qin Fang's Scouting Skill was unnecessary to delve deeper, instead, he found himself somewhat ruefully saying.
"What do you mean?"
Jian Qingfeng was also puzzled for a moment, somewhat unclear about the situation and asked.
"I think once you see this... you'll understand!"
With a gentle swipe behind him, Qin Fang quietly revealed a shimmering treasured sword...
"Eh, this sword..."
Upon seeing the sword in Qin Fang's hand, Jian Qingfeng furrowed his brow, carefully scrutinizing it, feeling a sense of familiarity but unable to recall where exactly he had seen it.
"Catch..."
Qin Fang was rather straightforward, casually tossing the treasured sword to Jian Qingfeng.
Though Jian Qingfeng was somewhat surprised, he maintained considerable vigilance, swiftly grasped the treasured sword, held it in his hand, examined it closely, and his eyes changed dramatically, his pupils constricted significantly.
"Qianyu Divine Sword..."
Evidently, he already knew the origins of this sword. After a brief silence, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the sword of Elder Chu Tianji..."
"Indeed, it is the Qianyu Divine Sword..."
Qin Fang nodded in agreement, "Back then, I had some acquaintance with Elder Chu, and he entrusted this sword to me, asking that I return it to the Kunlun Sect upon meeting Kunlun disciples..."
"Hiss~~~"
Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Jian Qingfeng's first reaction was disbelief.
The Qianyu Divine Sword was undoubtedly an exceedingly rare Divine Weapon. In the past, Chu Tianji was the most outstanding genius of the Kunlun Sect, achieving remarkable feats at a young age, wielding the Qianyu Divine Sword to command respect throughout the Martial World...
The title of Qianyu Divine Sword Chu Tianji originates from this...
However, later the Qianyu Divine Sword disappeared along with Chu Tianji himself, becoming a complete mystery in the Martial World. Many people speculated whether Chu Tianji encountered some misfortune, leading to his disappearance together with the Qianyu Divine Sword.
As a result, numerous renowned sword cultivator experts in the Martial World tried to find this divine sword... Indeed, Dragon Country has had many famous swords throughout history, but those reaching the level of the Qianyu Divine Sword are very few and extremely precious.
Unfortunately, these famous swords are either under the control of Thousand-Year Sects or have been classified as heirloom treasures. Some have disappeared due to accidents...
Most of the famous swords, these sword cultivator experts naturally cannot hope for. No matter how bold they are, they dare not invade the Thousand-Year Sects. Those secretly stored away are also out of consideration, totally hidden and impossible to find.
Only those famous swords that have accidentally disappeared become their targets...
Even if these famous swords originate from Thousand-Year Sects, they at least aren't obtained through open plunder. Those sects, considering their reputations, cannot just seize them... Even if wanting to reclaim, a certain price must be paid, such as some elixirs, weapons, or cultivation manuals.
Whether it's famous swords or other cultivation resources, they are extremely interested...
Thus, these people, even if they acquire these famous swords, would try to gain benefits for themselves... Otherwise, they would never easily return these famous swords!
However, Qin Fang now hasn't even confirmed Jian Qingfeng's identity and has actively delivered the Qianyu Divine Sword into Jian Qingfeng's hands, making Jian Qingfeng quite suspicious... He even wondered if Qin Fang placed some restriction on the sword.
"If Senior Brother Jian suspects anything, you can take this Qianyu Divine Sword back to the Kunlun Sect and let the predecessors in the sect authenticate it..."
Qin Fang, however, thought Jian Qingfeng doubted the authenticity of this Qianyu Divine Sword and couldn't help but say so.
This sword has been with him for quite some time and has helped him achieve great deeds. Just sending it back, Qin Fang was somewhat reluctant... But he had already promised Chu Tianji, and Chu Tianji has shown kindness to him. A gentleman does what is right and avoids what is wrong, and he wouldn't be greedy.
Moreover, he doesn't lack good weapons. The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword is almost comparable to the Qianyu Divine Sword, and he has even gathered enough materials to upgrade the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, ready to reforge an extraordinary divine weapon.
Even slightly lesser weapons, Qin Fang has quite a few. The Blood Drinking Sword obtained by the Xu Family, several swords found in the Underground Palace, a few obtained after killing experts from the Six Major Families, and others acquired from different sources – not less than ten, at least eight...
But the one he truly uses is only the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, not just because of its exceptional sharpness, but also out of habit...
"There's no need for that... This is indeed the Qianyu Divine Sword!
Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Jian Qingfeng slightly regained his composure and confidently stated.
Though he himself was seeing the Qianyu Divine Sword for the first time, he was quite certain... Just holding it, slightly circulating the sword Qi from the Kunlun Sect, he could already confirm it!
He could even feel some residual True Qi left by Chu Tianji within...
Despite the sword shining brightly in both Qin Fang's and Qin Tiannan's hands, it couldn't erase the traces of Chu Tianji... Firstly, Chu Tianji's power was overwhelming, and secondly, the influence of certain Kunlun secret techniques.
"Since it is like this, then I haven't failed Senior Chu's trust, returning the item to the Kunlun Sect..."
With Jian Qingfeng's confirmation, Qin Fang responded with a cheerful smile.
Then...
He turned his back on Jian Qingfeng and immediately started picking the "Little Medicine King" Seven-leaf Ganoderma.
Seeing Qin Fang's action, Jian Qingfeng couldn't help but twitched his lips, revealing a trace of bitter smile. But ultimately... he chose not to act.
As a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, the oldest sect in the Martial World, how could he not recognize the Seven-leaf Ganoderma before him as the legendary "Little Medicine King" that can revive the dead, heal bones, and be used in medicine?
Precisely because of this, upon discovering this "Little Medicine King," he launched the most terrifying attack on Qin Fang... Not because of any blood feud between them, but due to the immense value of this "Little Medicine King."
But now... he couldn't act!
The Qianyu Divine Sword is a significant treasure of the Kunlun Sect, though not the most precious, yet Qin Fang's gesture of returning the item has indeed done the Kunlun Sect a huge favor... making Jian Qingfeng unable to seize it, only watch as Qin Fang takes the "Little Medicine King" away!
Holding the Qianyu Divine Sword at this moment, Jian Qingfeng truly felt an impulse to cry... His heart was bleeding!
Of course, after the confrontation, Jian Qingfeng knew that trying to snatch the "Little Medicine King" from Qin Fang wouldn't be easy... His own power had reached the Great Grandmaster Level, and his swordsmanship was quite outstanding, yet he couldn't handle this much younger Qin Fang!
If they really fought for it, who would win was uncertain...
Rather than a deadly battle where both could be injured and let others take advantage, it was better now to let Qin Fang take it... At least this way, Jian Qingfeng could repay a portion of the favor.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jian, for letting this happen!"
After picking the "Little Medicine King" Seven-leaf Ganoderma and securing it in his pouch, Qin Fang felt completely relieved and couldn't help but cup his hands toward Jian Qingfeng, expressing his gratitude!
Even though Jian Qingfeng was deeply discontented inside... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to support it by voting for recommendations, monthly votes at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
