This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 395

Chapter 395: Chapter 273: Discussing the Sword, the Ancestors of Lu Shan Dao Sect Attempt to Kill!

“Such a strong guardian spirit!”

“The power that burst out from that spear, at least comparable to Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm!”

Outside Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.

Xu Yang stood in front of the stone tablet engraved with “Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum”, looking down at his chest.

His chest was dyed red with blood.

The wound was deep enough to see the bone!

No choice.

Just now he was underground where his strength was limited and he was suddenly confronted by the guardian spirit whose spear was infused with the power of the “geomantic omen”.

It was Xu Yang.

If any other ordinary cultivator in the early stage of Divine Transcendence Realm faced that strike, it would have been certain death!

“Huh?”

Suddenly.

Xu Yang uttered a surprised cry.

He discovered that an itchy sensation was coming from his wound. Looking down, he found that the deep wound was healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

“What’s going on?”

“My body is barely comparable to the early stage of Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm…Although my self-healing ability is slightly better than ordinary cultivators and martial artists, it’s not so exaggerated, is it?”

Xu Yang suddenly had a thought, recalling the “self-healing power” he acquired when he dealt with the “tree demon” in Helan Mountain Primitive Forest Park.

This ability did not appear on the attribute column.

Having not been injured for a while, Xu Yang had forgotten about it.

Now that he was injured, the exaggerated power of “self-healing” was indeed revealed.

“With my Daoist skills, Martial Arts Heavenly Being, and a body comparable to the early stage of Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm, plus such an incredible self-healing ability…Who can challenge me among the same realm?”

At this moment, a breaking sound filled the air.

Xu Yang’s gaze shifted as he turned to look, only to see a figure approaching quickly through the air.

The person landed in front of Xu Yang, scanned his face, and then his eyes moved slightly before he bowed his fist and said, “So, it’s Supreme Sage Xu…Why did Supreme Sage Xu come to Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum late at night?”

“You are?”

Xu Yang knew that there was a master stationed in the tomb but did not know the identity of this person.

This man appeared to be 50 years old, with a shaved head, wearing a black training suit. He had deep cultivation, a long breath of life, a sharp sword aura hidden within him that gave an impression of someone ready to erupt like a volcano.

Facing Xu Yang’s doubt, the man did not show displeasure but introduced himself, saying, “My name is Duan Tianhe, it has been eighteen years since I last ventured into the martial world while guarding Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, so it’s normal for Supreme Sage Xu not to know me.”

“Duan Tianhe?”

Xu Yang pondered the name, surprised saying, “Azure Dragon Swordsman Duan Tianhe? Northwest’s No. 1 Sword?”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “I dare not claim that…Those in the martial world just like to exaggerate. I only know a few basic sword skills. How can I be called the No.1 Sword of the Northwest?”

This remark was humble and seemed to acknowledge his identity.

Although Xu Yang had never met Duan Tianhe, he had heard of him.

This man was a legend in the martial world!

He became famous 20 years ago, around the same time as the Old Master and Wang Hou.

Originally an ordinary sword enthusiast, he even represented the country in overseas swordsmanship performances. The skills he practiced were all for show and had no real martial art foundation.

However, after the revival of spiritual aura, he managed to practice swordsmanship to the point of having a sword essence. Later on, he gained the Azure Dragon Sword and an ancient martial arts swordsmanship technique, which he used to make a name for himself, earning the title “Azure Dragon Swordsman” in the martial world!

Twenty years ago, he had already reached the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm, and now he stepped into the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm, with a cultivation level not inferior to that of the Old Master.

“Northwest’s No. 1 Sword” was a well-deserved reputation.

Of course.

Martial artists from the Northwest are generally bold and they mostly practice the saber; those who practice swordsmanship are much rarer.

Both being from the Northwest and Xu Yang also being a “swordsmanship expert”, the two chatted for a few sentences before Duan Tianhe asked, “Did Supreme Sage Xu just enter Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?”

“Yes.”

Xu Yang nodded and said, “I originally intended to explore Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, but I didn’t expect to be attacked by a guardian spirit as soon as I entered the underground…That guardian spirit held an axe and spear and rode a divine, handsome horse. It seemed capable of using geomantic omen power. Its power was definitely not weaker than Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm.”

Having guarded Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum for eighteen years, Duan Tianhe had been in contact with these guardian spirits countless times. Upon hearing Xu Yang’s description, he immediately said, “It must be General Meng of the Tiger Corps. His power is indeed not weak!”

“Senior Duan knows this guardian spirit?”

“I’ve encountered him a few times and know of him… He’s the nephew of Great General Meng Tian, who served Emperor Qin Shi Huang.”

Duan Tianhe then became concerned about Xu Yang’s injury.

Xu Yang stated, “It’s just a minor wound. No big deal… Senior Duan, is it impossible to enter Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?”

“Inside the mausoleum forms a mysterious world of its own, like a cave heaven of good fortune. The guardian spirits, like General Meng, guard it and can even make use of Li Mountain’s geomantic omen power. Even if Minister Wang were to visit it himself, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to get in.”

Duan Tianhe told the truth.

Damn it!

It’s just a tomb, why make it so powerful?

Xu Yang cursed under his breath.

But he was just curious, and since he couldn’t go in, he decided not to.

He originally planned to return to Wu City overnight, but Duan Tianhe enthusiastically invited him to his home for a drink.

Duan Tianhe’s home was right next to Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum. He had built a small courtyard and even hung a “small shop” sign outside. He laughed and said, “The heroic spirits in Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum are very disciplined and rarely come out. I get bored when I’m not practicing my sword, so I set up a small shop. It’s not only convenient for my own food and drink but also provides a convenience for tourists.”

He took two bottles of Jian Nan Chun off the shelf, and each held a bottle. They clinked their bottles and took a few sips. Duan Tianhe said, “I’ve seen the video of Supreme Sage Xu practicing swordsmanship at Hukou Waterfall, but I couldn’t feel your essence of the sword from the video. I wonder if Supreme Sage Xu would be willing to demonstrate it for me?”

“Of course.”

Xu Yang stood up and took out his Bi Shui Sword.

The sword emitted a faint blue light, looking like a spring in the moonlight.

Duan Tianhe couldn’t help but praise, “What a great sword!”

“This sword is called Bi Shui, and it’s the personal sword of the Asura Sect’s leader.”

Xu Yang lifted the sword and went out to the courtyard. With a casual thrust, the endless Great River sword aura shot up into the sky, looking like a silvery galaxy in the night.

“What a fantastic sword aura!”

Duan Tianhe praised again.

Xu Yang performed his sword dance, and his sword aura transformed into multiple air swords. He also unleashed the ultimate move, “Eight Forms of Famous Sword Skills,” winning a round of applause from Duan Tianhe.

Sheathing his sword.

Picking up the bottle and clinking it with Duan Tianhe, the two drank several mouthfuls of wine. Duan Tianhe also unsheathed his sword and jumped out of the house.

His sword aura was completely different from Xu Yang’s Great River sword aura.

While the Great River sword aura was grand and focused on its endless nature, Duan Tianhe’s sword aura felt like a gentle spring breeze, showing no hint of fierceness when calm. But in a moment, Duan Tianhe’s sword aura shifted, and the sky and earth suddenly changed, as if transitioning from a warm spring to a chilling winter!

His sword moves changed, and his essence of the sword contained four variations corresponding to the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

After demonstrating his skills, Duan Tianhe said, “This is the Four Seasons Sword Essence, which I comprehended from the Four Seasons Swordsmanship… This Four Seasons Swordsmanship was acquired together with the Azure Dragon Sword and is the legacy left by an ancient martial artist.”

To Xu Yang’s surprise, Duan Tianhe unreservedly shared the essence of the “Four Seasons Swordsmanship” with him.

“This is what it’s like when discussing and learning from each other!”

Xu Yang, of course, didn’t hold back and shared his “Great River Sword Manual” with Duan Tianhe.

“Great River Sword Manual, Great River sword aura…”

After hearing this, Duan Tianhe sighed, “Such a profound sword manual, such a profound sword aura! No wonder Supreme Sage Xu went to practice swordsmanship at Hukou Waterfall. This sword aura can only be cultivated in places like Hukou Waterfall.”

Two top martial artists in the martial world sat on the grass in the courtyard, drinking cheap Jian Nan Chun and talking cheerfully!

“Please wait a moment, Supreme Sage Xu, I’ll go get a few more bottles of wine!”

In a short while, Duan Tianhe brought a few more bottles of wine and some snacks like peanuts, melon seeds, chicken feet, ham, and spicy sticks.

As a legendary swordsman, he had developed his sword essence through performance and had his unique insights into swordsmanship. He answered all of Xu Yang’s questions without hesitation. Xu Yang, on the other hand, was unfamiliar with basic swordsmanship and took the opportunity to learn.

The two asked and answered each other’s questions, discussing martial anecdotes, practicing swords, and before they knew it, the sky had brightened.

“It’s daylight already?”

Duan Tianhe slapped his forehead and said, “Please don’t take offense, Supreme Sage Xu. I’m a sword fanatic, and I can’t help but ask for advice when I meet a sword master… In that case, I’ll give you a sword technique as a token of my apology for delaying your night.”

His true meaning of martial arts burst forth, transmitting a sword technique directly into Xu Yang’s mind.

“This sword technique was created by me when I sat in the peach garden for eight days, watching the peach blossoms bloom and wither. I named it Peach Blossom Fall. It doesn’t have much power, but it can be used to show off. I hope Supreme Sage Xu won’t mind!”

Duan Tianhe laughed.

However, after Xu Yang sensed it, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly!

Not much power?

In his view, the “Peach Blossom Fall” was no worse than the “Eight Forms of Famous Sword Skills” and might even be stronger.

So he taught the “Eight Forms of Famous Sword Skills” to Duan Tianhe.

The two said their farewells, and Duan Tianhe escorted Xu Yang out of the scenic area, saying, “Supreme Sage Xu, come to Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum for a drink if you have the time!”

Xu Yang agreed and drove away.

Once he left Lintong County, he put away his car, used his agility technique, and headed for Wu City.

Along the way, he walked and stopped, sometimes stopping to practice swordsmanship to digest what he had learned the night before.

He came to a small hillside.

Seeing a small river flowing at the bottom of the hill, with flowers blooming beside it, Xu Yang was about to practice Duan Tianhe’s “Peach Blossom Fall” when he suddenly sensed something and looked sharply at the side, shouting, “Who’s there? Stop lurking and show yourself!”

Buzz!

The air trembled.

An old Daoist, dressed in a Daoist robe with white hair and a youthful face, walked out of the void, smiling faintly, “Supreme Sage Xu, there’s no need to be so tense. I, the poor Daoist, have very fast Daoist skills and won’t let you feel any pain!”

“It’s you!”

Xu Yang’s pupils contracted dramatically!

Lu Shan Sect…

Old Ancestor!
