“Senior, please advise me again!”
Jian Xiaoyao had already picked up his Triple-kill Sword . He stared at the blind old man, his eyes full of great passion and delight .
“Oh?” The old man smiled as he nodded .
Jian Xiaoyao drew out his sword again .
His movement was exceedingly fast and powerful, unleashing a torrent of Spiritual Power that formed a whirlpool .
“It’s the Traceless Sword Skill of Sword Marquis Mansion!” someone exclaimed .
The old man swung his bamboo stick .
“Thwack!”
Jian Xiaoyao’s Triple-kill Sword was thrown into the air again .
“Strike again, Senior!”
Jian Xiaoyao was not discouraged in the least . He picked up the Triple-kill Sword from the ground again and continued to thrust his sword at the old man .
“What a crafty strike! It looks like a viper . ”
“Thwack!”
The Triple-kill Sword fell to the ground .
“That’s the Blood Moon Sword Skill of Sword Marquis Mansion!”
“Thwack!”
The Triple-kill Sword fell to the ground .
“That’s Jian Xiaoyao’s most powerful attack…”
“Thwack!”
The Triple-kill Sword ended up on the ground again .
Jian Xiaoyao launched a series of attacks, going all-out with each .
Even so, the blind old man continued to brandish his bamboo stick and toss Jian Xiaoyao’s sword into the air over and over again .
What astonished the crowd most was that the old man’s movement appeared slow and his blows weak .
However, Jian Xiaoyao failed to withstand his attacks .
Jian Xiaoyao had used more than ten Sword Skills throughout the dozen rounds of their fight but ended up losing his sword each time .
The outcome was the same even after so many times . The onlookers were all thoroughly dumbfounded .
No one had any doubt that this powerless-looking old man harbored an unpredictable strength .
“Whoosh!”
Jian Xiaoyao took a deep breath before looking at the blind old man with a serious look . Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he kowtowed to the old man . “I’m Jian Xiaoyao . I implore you to take me as your disciple and teach me swordsmanship . ”
“Disciple?”
“The genius of Sword Marquis Mansion wants to make this blind old man his master?”
“He’s the great genius who won the Easternmost Hunt . It’s rumored that many experts in the Yang Void Realm and Divine Transcendence Realm wanted him as a disciple but he had refused them all . But he’s now asking to be this old man’s disciple?”
Jian Xiaoyao’s action stirred heated discussions among the people on the street .
That old man shook his head when he saw Jian Xiaoyao kneeling before him . “I’m not an expert . I’m not qualified to be your master . Speaking of swordsmanship… I know just one move which I use to punish my grandson . He’s a troublemaker and I hit his butt when he makes trouble . Are you willing to learn that?”
The crowd was confused . “Punish his grandson? He’s going to teach a technique to hit a child’s butt?”
“Yes . ” Jian Xiaoyao kept nodding, his eyes filled with delight and desire .
“Fine . I’ll then impart this to you . ”
The blind old man took a step forward and stopped in front of Jian Xiaoyao . He raised his wrinkled hand and pointed at Jian Xiaoyao’s midbrows . Then, he turned around and left .
Before leaving he left a string of words . “I owe the Red Sun Tavern some money . Go there and pay my bills off . That’s your tuition fee . ”
Jian Xiaoyao’s eyes were wide open .
The scene of the old man brandishing his stick appeared in his mind, giving him a close look at the move that the old man used . Common as it appeared, it was a terrifyingshow of swordsmanship . It was not until now that Jian Xiaoyao realized this .
The reason he even thought that the old man’s strike was common was that he was weak and his realm was still too low .
“This is an opportunity, a golden opportunity!”
Jian Xiaoyao clenched his hands as he trembled with delight .
He then left for the Red Sun Tavern and paid for the blind old man’s liquor .
Meanwhile, there were two figures hovering side by side above the street .
One was an elegant woman dressed in a black robe, and the other was a middle-aged man in a splendid silver robe . The man emanated an air of majesty .
Both of them had been around to witness how the blind old man taught Jian Xiaoyao a lesson .
“Upper Elder, what do you think of this?” the middle-aged man asked, looking concerned .
“He’s strong,” the elegant woman replied with a serious look . “He didn’t use his Spiritual Power or other special powers in his attacks but still effortlessly tossed Jian Xiaoyao’s sword to the ground with technique alone!”
“But I can’t see anything special about his strike,” she added .
She furrowed her brows .
It was impossible for an attack, imbued with the strength of an ordinary human, capable of repeatedly unarming Jian Xiaoyao to be ordinary .
This could only prove that her realm was still too low .
“Eh? Where’s the old man?” The middle-aged man looked down at the street with a surprised expression .
They had been keeping an eye on the blind old man all along but in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared .
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind them . “Looking for me?”
“What?” Both the elegant woman and the middle-aged man were taken aback .
The man was evidently less than a meter away from them but they did not even know since when he had been standing there .
How did both of them fail to notice his arrival?
“Swish! Swish!”
When they turned around, they saw the blind old man standing there with a smile on his face and a stick in his hand . He was less than a meter away from them .
“You…” the elegant woman uttered .
“You youngsters should get a taste of my stick too,” the old man said as he brandished his stick .
His sudden attack shocked them both . They never expected the old man to target them .
They had been watching all along, never stepping in even when he was teaching their disciples a lesson . How did they somehow piss off the old man?
Surprised as they were, they did not forget to defend themselves .
However…
“Thwack! Thwack!”
The old man used the stick to knock their weapons out of their hands and hit them without stopping . Their bodies sank downward with the force of his attacks . They continued to crash until they landed near the street .
The two of them appeared to be in a miserable condition .
