The Venerable Swordsman Chapter 22 - Draw More Than One Sword Strike, I Lose!

Chapter 22 Draw More Than One Sword Strike, I Lose!

Just as Ye Xuan was about to draw his sword, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, “Brother…”

Although the sound was as small as a mosquito, Ye Xuan trembled all over.

Ye Xuan stopped. He turned and ran to Ye Ling’s side. Then he gently picked Ye Ling up, and his hands were shaking!

All his life, he could draw his sword for his sister, and he could also sheathe his sword for his sister!

Seeing that Ye Xuan did not make a further move, Han Xiangmeng and the old man on the side were relieved!

Once Ye Xuan made his first move, there would be no turning back for real.

Fortunately, the little girl was still alive!

Otherwise, the worst result today would be that Ye Xuan would be dead and they would be severely punished, or they would be killed because of the mad retaliation from the forces behind Ye Xuan!

No matter what kind of result, it was not what they wanted!

On the side, Elder Gu was going to sneak away, but he was knocked down to the ground by a slap from the old man next to Han Xiangmeng. Han Xiangmeng look coldly at Elder Gu, “Wait for your trial!”

Hearing what she said, Elder Gu’s face suddenly turned as pale as a dying ember!

On the other side, Ye Xuan carefully held Ye Ling. The teenager who never cried after many injuries. Now when he was looking at her pale face, the tears coming from his eyes burst like a pent-up river!

Looking at Ye Xuan, Ye Ling softly comforted, “Brother, don’t, don’t cry. I, I’m not that hurt, I…”

Ye Xuan held Ye Ling tight. He cried like a child. “I am a bad brother. I am a bad brother…”

Just then, the middle-aged man on the other side walked to Ye Xuan with the fat boy. “This little friend, I have brought a doctor with me. Would you like to let the doctor attend to her?”

Ye Xuan hurriedly said, “Good, that’s good. Thank you. Thank you very much!”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly. He turned to look at an old man in black. The old man in black nodded and then squatted in front of Ye Ling. After a while, the old man in black whispered, “She is okay because all her injuries are external. As for her dislocated arm, I have fixed it for her. She only needs some time to recuperate. But there is a chill in her body. It… I have never seen it before!”

With this, he looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan answered in a deep voice, “No problem. As long as she has no other problems, I will find a way to deal with the chill in the future!”

The old man in black nodded and said no more. Then he retreated to the side.

Ye Xuan cupped his hand at the middle-aged man. “I’m Ye Xuan. What is your name, sir?”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Lu Xiaoran, the Chatelain of Thousand-Mountain City!”

“The Chatelain!”

Ye Xuan was slightly stunned, but soon he cupped his hands. “Thank you for helping my little sister!”

Lu Xiaoran laughed and said, “Just a small affair.”

Ye Xuan nodded and then turned to Elder Gu who was not far away.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaoran was shocked. Not only Lu Xiaoran, everyone around him was also astounded. They thought, “Won’t this guy give up?”

Han Xiangmeng and the old man next to her, their faces suddenly fell. “Elder Lu is an elder of the Drunken Fairy Building. Although he is only a minor elder in the outer building, he is still an elder of Drunken Fairy Building!”

In any case, they couldn’t let him get killed by Ye Xuan! Otherwise, it would be a humiliation to the Drunken Fairy Building!

Ye Xuan walked to Elder Gu, but Han Xiangmeng stood right in front of Ye Xuan. “Childe Ye, the Drunken Fairy Building will deal with this matter. You can rest a.s.sured because we will severely punish him and give Childe Ye a full explanation. He…”

Ye Xuan coldly glanced at Han Xiangmeng, “Scram!”

Han Xiangmeng’s blackened eyebrows frowned all of a sudden. She wanted to talk, but Ye Xuan went up to her and looked straight into her eyes. “It was you who let us live there. But he came to spite my sister and me. Well, you didn’t stop him. Let me guess. You must want to see my true strength and background. You wanted us to become enemies and fight against each other so that you could benefit from it, am I right?”

Han Xiangmeng slowly clenched her hands, and her heart was shocked.

For it was precisely what she had thought before!

Besides them, Elder Gu laughed and said, “Isn’t that what she meant? She just greatly underestimated your feelings for the little girl and underestimated your strength. Otherwise, she would desperately try to protect the little girl and do you favors to make friends with you! Unfortunately, she miscalculated, haha…”

At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly stabbed the sword in his hand into Elder Gu’s eyebrows.

“Sizzle!”

Blood splattered!

Seeing this scene, everyone around changed their expressions. It was a flagrant provocation to the Drunken Fairy Building!

Han Xiangmeng’s face also became a little pale at this moment!

Things were not over yet, it was only the beginning!

Ye Xuan took back his sword. He turned and walked before Ye Ling. “Those people who have bullied you, brother won’t let them see the sun of the next day!”

Ye Ling’s tears came out immediately.

At this moment, the Cloud s.h.i.+p suddenly stopped. Opposite the Cloud s.h.i.+p, a red-crowned crane flew towards them. The crane was huge and its wings were at least thirty meters wide when they opened. On the back of the crane stood an elegant middle-aged man, holding a white jade fan in his hand.

Soon, in the eyes of countless people, the crane landed on the Cloud s.h.i.+p. The wave of strong wind it brought suddenly pushed a lot of people in the field backward quickly.

The middle-aged man slowly walked down the crane. Han Xiangmeng and the old man next to her significantly changed their expressions. They did not expect that this man would come. They immediately went over and gave him a little salute. “Greetings, Floorlord Han.”

Hearing their words, Lu Xiaoran, the Chatelain of Thousand-Mountain, looked dignified at once!

The Drunken Fairy Building had nine floors. Each floor had a Floorlord who had not only great power but also unfathomable strength!

The Floorlord in front of him should be the person in charge of all the affairs in the Drunken Fairy Building of Jiang Country. Even if the King of Jiang Country saw him, he would also treat him with some respect!

The Floorlord Han nodded slightly. He glanced at Elder Gu’s body not far away, and then said, “Dead?”

Han Xiangmeng and the old man did not dare to answer, so they slightly bowed their heads.

The Floorlord Han turned to look at Ye Xuan who was nearby. He sized Ye Xuan up, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes. “His foundation is so solid which is quite uncommon. Besides that, he is a Sword Cultivator and achieved the Clear Sword Heart, which makes him rare. I would never have thought that there were so many talents in Jiang Country!”

With this, he glanced around. “Everyone, this is a private affair of the Drunken Fairy Building. Go get some rest!”

Upon hearing his words, the other people dared not stay here. They quickly turned back to their rooms.

Lu Xiaoran, the Chatelain of Thousand-Mountain City, cast a look at Ye Xuan and returned to his room with the little fat boy who was reluctant to go back.

There were only a few people left on the deck of the Cloud s.h.i.+p.

The eyes of Floorlord Han fell on Ye Xuan again. “People like you must not come from ordinary places. Tell me which force you belong to. I am curious what makes you dare to kill someone in the Drunken Fairy Building.”

Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled. “Why? If the power behind me is great, will you let me live?”

The Drunken Fairy Building shook his head. “No. You killed an elder of the Drunken Fairy Building in front of everyone, which is defiance to the Drunken Fairy Building. So, no matter who you are or whoever is behind you, you will die today. Although it is somewhat of a pity, I have no other choice because I can’t embarra.s.s the Drunken Fairy Building in front of all the countries in the Qing Continent.”

After he said that, seemingly thinking of something, he said again, “The reason why I ask you about the force behind you is to decide whether or not we will pursue the responsibility of the force behind you, not because I am afraid of the forces behind you. In Jiang Country, there is no force that we dare not provoke!”

Ye Xuan was silent.

Forces?

He had no force behind him. There was not even a ghost behind him!

However, he still didn’t regret that he killed those people previously.

Brainless? Impulsive?

He admitted that he was brainless and impulsive. But if he could choose again, he would not hesitate to do so. Because if he didn’t kill those people, the Drunken Fairy Building would only punish them at most, or they would not even punish them. However, even if they were punished, they would live a relaxed and comfortable life after a few years!

If that was the case, then did his sister get beaten for nothing?

Never!

Because of his sister, he could endure it if someone beat him. However, if someone hit his sister, he would rather die than tolerate that!

Floorlord Han whispered, “Why? You don’t want to say it?”

Ye Xuan smiled, “There is no force behind me. It’s true. I’m not lying!”

Floorlord Han slightly narrowed his eyes. “You dared to kill people from the Drunken Fairy Building without any force behind you?”

Ye Xuan looked directly at the unfathomable elegant man in front of him. “People from the Drunken Fairy Building took advantage of their power to bully people, so I killed them. It is as simple as that.”

The elegant man chuckled, “Bullying people? In this world, the strongest becomes king. My Drunken Fairy Building bullied you, but if you can bear it, you will naturally have a future for yourself. Now to vent your anger, you have ruined your bright future. It is stupid, you know?”

Ye Xuan straightened his waist. “How could a Sword Cultivator bend his spine?”

The elegant man smiled slightly. “A Sword Cultivator. That’s right. A Sword Cultivator with a bent spine is not a real Sword Cultivator. Well, if you say you have no forces behind you, then you are going to take full responsibility for this matter.”

“I, I am with my brother!”

At this moment, Ye Ling suddenly hugged Ye Xuan. She stared steadily at the elegant man, “We will take the responsibility together!”

Floorlord Han glanced at Ye Ling and smiled, “Good, I will satisfy you and your brother.”

With this, he looked at the old man not far from him. “Hang their bodies on the bow of the Cloud s.h.i.+p. I want to let everyone in the world know that this is how they will end up like if they offend the Drunken Fairy Building. I also want everyone to know that the Drunken Fairy Building likes to throw its weight around. If anyone is unwilling to submit, just come to challenge us!”

After that, he was about to turn away.

At this point, the sword on Ye Xuan’s waist suddenly trembled fiercely.

Ye Xuan was startled.

But Floorlord Han suddenly turned and looked towards the bow. Not just Floorlord Han, but everyone present all looked towards the bow.

At the top of the bow, a woman appeared.

The woman was in a plain dress with waist-length hair. She had her back toward them. She put her right hand behind her back, and a black object and a white one were rotating between the tips of her fingers.

She just stood on the bow of the boat and overlooked the Cloud s.h.i.+p, letting the breeze gently blow up her hair and dress.

Everyone was stunned.

“Who is this person?”

The face of Floorlord Han sank because he did not know when the woman appeared there.

Floorlord Han was about to talk. At this moment, the woman suddenly spoke. “I am going to teach you what a bully is. Let the strongest person of your Drunken Fairy Building come out to fight with me. If that person can take more than one sword strike from me, I lose!”
