Triple-kill Sword was extremely important to Sword Marquis Mansion .
Jian Wushuang recognized it at once even though the one in the grim-faced young man’s hand was reforged .
“Looks like I found someone to pay for my liquor . ” Jian Wushuang grinned . He then walked up to the young man .
The moment he took the first step, he morphed into someone else .
His scarlet robe was replaced with a rugged sackcloth . He turned into a white-haired and blind old man wearing a pair of torn straw sandals .
He disguised himself as a lonely and blind old man walking on the street alone with a bamboo stick in hand .
The sound of hooves of the Wildebeest Beasts became louder as the group of people neared . The pedestrians made way for them except Jian Wushuang . He slowly walked toward the group as if he did not hear anything .
Soon the group caught sight of the blind old man .
“Hm?”
The disciples riding the Wildebeest Beasts belonged to the younger generation of Sword Marquis Mansion . Several of them showed their anger when they saw an old blind man getting in their way .
“Blind old man! Did you lose your hearing as well as your vision? Get out of the way or our Wildebeest Beasts will stomp on you and turn you into a meat pie,” a green-robed girl next to Jian Xiaoyao said arrogantly .
“Oh?” The blind old man raised his head with a calm look as he came to a standstill .
“Do you want to die? Move!”
She took a long whip from the waist of her Wildebeest Beast and swung it at the old man .
Perhaps the blind old man was in luck . He happened to move to the side and thus, dodged her whip .
“What?” The girl’s eyes burned with fury . She was about to swing her whip again .
“Stop!” The grim-faced young man’s deep and reproachful voice resounded .
“But…” The girl in green turned to look at Jian Xiaoyao .
“Give him some money and ask him to leave,” Jian Xiaoyao said .
“You want me to go?” The girl appeared deeply unhappy .
“Hurry up and do it!” Jian Xiaoyao’s voice turned cold .
The girl dared not to disobey his order . She climbed down from her Wildbeest Beast and walked up to the blind old man .
“Come on . I’ll take you aside,” the girl said impatiently . She subconsciously placed her hand on the old man’s shoulder .
The blind old man snorted . “Which family are you from, little girl? How can you speak to an elder in such a rude manner? Today I’ll teach you a lesson in your elders’ stead . ”
He raised his bamboo stick and swiped the girl .
The old man’s action appeared so casual that everyone thought that he was just brandishing the stick as he lectured the girl .
Even a smart kid would be able to dodge the stick, never mind the green-robed girl . She was a warrior in the Spiritual Sea Realm . It would almost be too easy for her to do so .
However…
“Thwack!”
The bamboo stick hit her on the butt without facing any obstacle whatsoever .
The girl could feel the scorching pain on her butt . She instantly flew into a rage .
“You old bastard, I’m going to kill you!” she screamed furiously .
“How disobedient! I’ll hit you again!” The old man once again brandished his stick .
“Thwack!”
The girl took another blow on the same place, making her face turn even redder . This time, however, she reacted calmly .
She stared at the blind old man, somewhat stupefied .
The others were also looking at him with astonishment .
Perhaps it was a coincidence that the girl failed to evade the old man’s first blow . It was another story now that she had been hit twice .
“This… This blind old man…” Surprise took hold of the disciples of Sword Marquis Mansion that were riding their Wildebeest Beasts .
Jian Xiaoyao then got off his Wildebeest Beast and came up to the blind old man .
Jian Xiaoyao apologized to the old man with a sincere, humble attitude . “Please forgive my cousin for she didn’t mean to offend you . She’s still young . ”
Unlike the green-robed girl and other disciples of Sword Marquis Mansion, his abundant experience taught him to never judge a book by its cover .
The old man’s two successive attacks might look simple but they had successfully hit their target . He knew that he could not underestimate belittle this old man .
“Instead of moving out of the way of a blind old man walking down the street, you made your cousin ask me to leave . You deserve to be punished as well,” the old man said, pretending to be unreasonable . He waved his bamboo stick again .
He made a simple strike in the manner of a mother punishing her child .
Jian Xiaoyao stared at the stick in alarm and moved out of the way before the old man moved the stick .
“Thwack!”
Jian Xiaoyao was forced to squat . His eyes were full of shock .
The crowd was dumbfounded .
The green-robed girl was a weak 14-year-old . However, Jian Xiaoyao was the genius of Sword Marquis Mansion who had just won the first prize in the Easternmost Hunt .
He was the strongest among the experts of the younger generation of the 10 dynasties .
It was a shock that he suffered a blow as well .
“Boy, are you unhappy with the result? You can come and try it again . ” The old man waved at Jian Xiaoyao with a sly smile on his face .
“Elder, please advise me,” Jian Xiaoyao said with a serious expression . Instead of anger, his eyes were filled with strong excitement .
The Triple-kill Sword appeared in Jian Xiaoyao’s hand . Jian Wushuang took a deep breath .
Jian Xiaoyao brandished his sword .
The sword moved as slickly as if it was a spiritual snake slithering through the Void .
“How fast!”
“Too fast!”
“Is this the true strength of the champion of the Easternmost Hunt?”
The warriors could not help exclaiming when they saw Jian Xiaoyao’s performance .
But all of a sudden…
“Thwack!”
The Triple-kill Sword flew out of Jian Xiaoyao’s hands . The seemingly powerless bamboo stick struck him and he felt a stinging pain .
“How is this possible?” Jian Xiaoyao was stupefied .
“He didn’t use his Spiritual Power at all! His power is as weak as that of an ordinary human and his attack is excruciatingly slow too! How did I end up losing?”
Even as Jian Xiaoyao doubted himself, the excitement in his eyes became stronger and stronger .
