Chapter 724 - 392: Old Demon’s New Spoils: Famous Sword and Madam
She definitely didn’t want all three sisters to become mounts for this mother-killing enemy.
She would bear all the pain alone.
"Little Yin? Little Yin!"
Seeing Little Yin’s absentminded look, Duan Yun couldn’t help but wave his hand.
It was then that Little Yin suddenly snapped back to reality and said, "What is it?"
Duan Yun said, "I told you to take her away, why do you look so out of it?"
Little Yin realized and quickly explained, "I was just thinking about the latrine pit not being fixed properly."
Duan Yun nodded.
Little Yin quickly carried the Young Master’s Wife towards the cellar, but at this moment, Duan Yun suddenly said, "Stop."
Little Yin’s body stiffened immediately, breaking out in a cold sweat, but fearing Old Demon Duan’s discovery, she forced herself to calm down.
No way, no way, Old Demon Duan couldn’t have found out about her two younger sisters, could he?
That’s even more terrifying than King Yan standing behind her.
Little Yin forced herself to appear calm, turned her head, and asked, "Anything else?"
Duan Yun said, "Remember to keep her locked next to that leopard-patterned Aunt Xue, this way, as hostages, they can bond."
"Oh."
Little Yin carried the person to the cellar.
As soon as she entered the cellar, she suddenly relaxed, and the cold sweat she had held in burst out completely.
In fact, for a long time, Little Yin wasn’t afraid of Duan Yun anymore; she even started to enjoy being ordered around by him.
After all, there’s an old saying in the Martial World—if you can’t resist, then enjoy it.
But now her mindset had changed because she was afraid that her sisters would suffer the same fate as she had.
When Old Demon went out, if he rode all three sisters and their origins were embellished by a storyteller, wouldn’t the Yellow Jade Island lineage lose face?
Soon, Lady Lei Ying was locked in the cellar, becoming neighbors with the leopard-patterned Aunt Xue, Li Mofei’s lover.
They were all hostages of Old Demon Duan!
Little Yin couldn’t help but feel puzzled, wondering why people from the Mo Sect kept bringing their wives over.
Wait, she seemed to have been brought over too.
Her second and third sisters must not follow her path!
One could only say that this time, the Young Master’s Wife from the Gu Family had indeed delivered a great gift.
Now, the house she had carried over had been moved beside Yuzhu Manor by the Jade Pearl Heroes to serve as an annex.
Ziyu looked at the courtyard with its burnt barren ancient pine and couldn’t help but complain, "Couldn’t you use a lighter touch? Such an elegant courtyard, you destroyed more than half of it."
Ziyu was a scholar and loved the layout of this house.
Duan Yun retorted, "How was I supposed to know the Young Master’s Wife only had one move, forcing me to go all out."
I have to say, Lei Ying’s first sword strike was quite something. Apart from the bewitching pattern that distracted the eyes, the sword technique was truly remarkable.
He thought she was a worthy opponent, perhaps not on par with Ming Xing but at least comparable to the ugly hag of Thunder God and Mother, making for an exciting fight.
But in the end, sigh...
One could only say this woman made too grand an entrance, spoke too aggressively, demanding he kneel and fawn over her right from the start, leaving him no room to relax. Who could have known she had only this one move?
The group from the Gu Family came quickly and fled quickly, especially the one without legs; even Duan Yun was quite taken aback by his speed.
However, they had indeed been here, leaving behind a room full of wealth.
The Gu Family truly lived up to its name. Never mind the sheer weight of the golden chair and golden toilet, the paintings and calligraphy hanging in the house were identified by Feng Ling and Ziyu as works of a master, of great value.
With this, there would be more silver to dig the canal and even expand its scale.
Grateful for the generous gift from the Gu Family.
What Duan Yun liked the most, however, was the blue blade.
If when he first touched the Demon Sword Gentle, its handle felt as comfortable as a woman’s gentle hand, then this blue famous sword was no less impressive.
This sword is said to be famous, with a name also renowned because it’s simply called "Famous Sword."
It’s said to be the life’s work of a master of sword technique and Taoist skill, Li Lingzi. When the sword was forged, it was incomparably sharp and carried a fierce aura.
Li Lingzi considered the sword ominous, so he hid it away. But it was the culmination of his life’s work, and hiding it felt like wearing brocade attire at night, so he could only call it "Famous Sword" to alleviate his depression.
After Li Lingzi’s death, the sword drifted around the Martial World, reportedly having a total of fourteen owners in thirteen years.
The owners changed frequently because they died quickly, further corroborating the sword’s ominous reputation from another perspective.
Until it fell into the hands of the Gu Family and later was obtained by the Young Master’s Wife, Lei Ying.
For ten years afterward, Lei Ying nurtured the sword with her lofty bosom, wiping away its ominous aura, leading to its current form.
But now that Lei Ying was captured, it again indirectly proved the sword’s ominous nature because even someone like Lei Ying, the first treasure of Tianzhou, couldn’t suppress it.
Now the sword was in Duan Yun’s hands.
Duan Yun only felt the sword had a smooth touch.
Yes, if the Demon Sword Gentle felt like a woman’s little hand, then this famous sword felt like a NiZi.
It’s akin to the NiZi keyboard Duan Yun used in his previous life, having a very moist touch, moist to the point of not feeling like a sword.
But it was ironically the sharpest of swords, just like the Demon Sword Gentle, capable of accidentally injuring its owner or even devouring them.
And Duan Yun just liked this kind of sword.
This kind of sword is the type that a unique sword genius among thousands should own, just like how a hero should ride a fierce woman like Little Yin to manifest their true nature.
Look, compared to Brother Murong and Feng Ling, their lack of Little Yin, Big White, and Little Grey made them pale in comparison.
Now he even had a golden toilet; that made him more of a hero.
Unfortunately, the golden toilet and chair were reserve funds that have to be used whenever money ran short.
Yet money was not important to him; what mattered was this new beautiful Heroic Land.
This would be the benchmark for the future Martial World!
...
Zhao Qiangdong ran very fast, being the Sect Leader of the Thousand Miles Capital City Sect and the strongest leg of the Gu Family, who often proudly declared himself the best at fleeing in the world.
In reality, he indeed had glorious achievements.
Seventeen years ago, a generation of Sword Demon emerged in Tianzhou, possessing sharp and unrivaled Sword Qi.
And he fell in love with that Sword Demon’s wife.
The Sword Demon, obsessed with his sword, had neglected his wife. When Zhao Qiangdong seduced her, they truly became involved.
Later, when the Sword Demon discovered, he wanted to kill Zhao Qiangdong in rage, and so he began to flee.
It was a long and terrifying chase; the Sword Demon’s Sword Qi was not something he could withstand.
If he ever fell within the Sword Demon’s Sword Qi range, he would likely meet a disastrous end.
But the Sword Demon never managed to kill him, and he didn’t even get injured because the Sword Demon couldn’t catch him.
The Sword Demon rode on horseback and even transformed Sword Qi into horses, yet still couldn’t catch him.
By that time, Zhao Qiangdong had circled the six states of the Jianghu seven times, watching the Sword Demon’s once resounding Sword Qi gradually diminish in sharpness, eventually leading to some collapse.
The last time he saw the Sword Demon, the once invincible figure seemed to have aged many years.
During that time, the Sword Demon knelt on the ground, pleading with Zhao Qiangdong to stop fleeing, just once.
Just once, stop running.
But Zhao Qiangdong did not look back and fled decisively.
Afterward, he never saw the Sword Demon again, and rumors in the Martial World claimed that the latter collapsed and jumped off a cliff to commit suicide.
It was Zhao Qiangdong’s proudest life achievement, as he was merely fleeing, merely escaping, yet he fled with flair and fled the enemy to death.
But this time, Zhao Qiangdong faced an unprecedented crisis and suffered injuries he rarely sustained in his life.
The Gu Family was kind to him, gracious to him, and saving the Young Master’s Wife was naturally his duty.
Unfortunately, even with all his might, even with his unrivaled movement technique, he still couldn’t save the Young Master’s Wife.
One could only say Old Demon Duan was simply too monstrous.
Especially using the wife’s urine to injure people—truly an unheard-of wickedness. Even now, the scent of the Young Master’s Wife still lingered on him.
If he hadn’t mastered a movement technique allowing him to run swiftly even without legs, he might have also perished there.
At this moment, seeing that stretch of Qingshan, Zhao Qiangdong couldn’t help but feel a slight relief.
Finally, finally, he was returning.
Thus, on the road, appeared a figure of half a body dashing ahead.
The sight of a half a body swiftly passing caused cries of shock.
"Ghost!"
"Ghost!"
