Chapter 788: Learn in Secret!

“I, Ximen Chuixue, have devoted my entire life to the path of the sword, and I stand aloof to the matters of the world. I’ve lived in Beijing for many years, but there are still people who try to set me up. But it’s fine. There are also plenty of people who die in my hand.”

Ximen Chuixue was not affected by this. With just a few words, he spoke of his past before he bent down and swung his arm. The scattered pieces of the rack flew up before it swiftly fell together in an orderly manner. Even the medicinal herbs that were scattered all over the ground were clearly distributed on different shelves with one swing of the arm by Ximen Chuixue. His technique was so profound that people will sigh in amazement when they saw it.

But who was Happy?

When he noticed the circulation of qi from Ximen Chuixue, he instinctively noted the trajectory of Ximen Chuixue’s qi circulation and the profundity in that swing of the arm.

Dense waves of sword qi shot out from that fling, and each of them corresponded to different medicinal herbs. His control over his strength was perfect, allowing him to not damage the medicinal properties in the medicinal herb, but allowed him to perfectly pin the medicinal herbs on the rack. It was a high-end technique, and very mysterious.

The system notification quietly sounded.

“Ding!

“Understood Ten Thousand Sword Styles, the sword technique Ximen Chuixue created on his own.”

Happy had a thought in his mind. He quickly cast a glance at this Ten Thousand Sword Styles!

[Ten Thousand Sword Styles:

[It is a sword technique Ximen Chuixue figured during the time he took care of his medicinal herbs every day. Its damage can be controlled and adjusted at will. It allows you to turn your qi into sword qi, and with one wave of qi, you can deliver ten thousand waves of sword qi. The damage is minimal, and it is difficult to injure anyone with it. If you turn one wave of qi into one thousand waves of sword qi, the qi momentum will be visible, and the sword qi will travel freely. If you turn one wave of qi into one hundred waves of sword qi, the damage will be split up between the one hundred waves of sword qi, and you can kill someone with it. If you turn one wave of qi into ten waves of sword qi, wherever the sword force travels, nothing can block it. When all ten thousand waves of sword qi become one, if there is a demon around, this divine sword shall vanquish it!]

‘This is good…’

Happy was incredibly excited in his heart.

He did not expect that the martial art Ximen Chuixue thoughtlessly developed would be so ingenious and amazing. Even though it seemed like just a simple and easy technique when he executed it, what was contained within was a unique sword technique that stood above all other sword techniques in the world!

This was especially so for the final skill, where he had to fuse all ten thousand waves of sword qi into one. That could kill all demons wherever the divine sword qi was, and it was perhaps the damage Ximen Chuixue dealt when he attacked at full force. He could use up his qi based entirely on his will, and his damage could vary between strong and weak. The strongest damage was definitely not something that Three Dragons Sword Qi could compare to.

‘I earned big this time!’

Ximen Chuixue clearly did not know that the skill he demonstrated carelessly had been learnt by the boy who acted humbly and cautiously in front of him. He rearranged his medicinal rack, then turned around to face Happy with a calm face while Happy was trying his hardest to force down his happiness. “I might not be the one who stole Sword of Heavenly Lake Plate, but since that person decided to put the blame on me, I can’t stand by and do nothing about it.”

He stopped talking for a while, and Ximen Chuixue looked skyward before he said, “But since I’ve been staying alone at Beijing for a long time, I don’t quite understand what is going on in the outside world. I don’t want to be involved in the conflicts in the world of martial artists, but since you’re determined in chasing after the thief, you can go to a good friend of mine. He knows many of the things in the world of martial artists well. If you can get his help, I believe that you will be able to find the whereabouts for Sword of Heavenly Faction Plate soon.”

“Your good friend… Could it be…” A person’s figure flashed in Happy’s mind.

Ximen Chuixue said, “It’s Lu Xiaofeng. In this world, he is the only friend I trust. He’s the best constable in the world, and he solved many unbelievable cases. He also captured a lot of powerful martial artists. We’ve still been in contact over the past few years.”

“I see, so it’s Senior Lu Xiaofeng, who is also known as Perception Finger. How may I find him?”

Even though Happy met Lu Xiaofeng in the past, Lu Xiaofeng was an NPC who will never stay in just one place. He will run around everywhere in the world at irregular intervals, and he was very elusive.

“I don’t know about that. Recently, he has been running around all over the place for certain cases. He can’t be found standing still in one spot.” Ximen Chuixue shook his head slowly and brought out a plate from his bosom before he handed it to Happy. “Take this with you and go to Six Doors to try and get some information. They should know where Lu Xiaofeng is.”

Happy said nothing, but he accepted it readily.

The system notification came.

“Ding!

“Received Ximen Chuixue’s assignment. You are to continue searching for the whereabouts of Sword of Heavenly Lake Plate and clear Ximen Chuixue of suspicion. Please head to Six Doors and get information about Lu Xiaofeng’s whereabouts. Once you find Lu Xiaofeng, search for Sword of Heavenly Lake Plate as well as the thief who stole it!”

“If that is the case, I will take my leave.”

“Go.” Ximen Chuixue did not say much. He nodded and watched Happy leave.

“Young Hero, you should have learned from today’s battle that aside from drawing the sword, you still have many things to learn.”

“I understand.”

“Good, from today onwards, practice this.” When he finished speaking, a dazzling light cut through the air from the courtyard and shot to the sky!

When the sword glare vanished, Ximen Chuixue had already disappeared, leaving behind only Responsible Hero, who stood on his spot with a dazed look. After a long time passed, crazed delight appeared on his face.

“Yes, master!”

*****

When Happy came out of Ximen Chuixue’s abode, he soon noticed that there were plenty of people standing outside the door. Not only were there people from various sects who came to watch because they heard about what happened, there were also solo players whose eyes were filled with amazement. However, standing right in front of the crowd was Barren Murderer, who had already been revived at a Guanlin Temple, along with Drifting Sword, the sect master of White Robe Sect, and a person whom Happy once fought against at Yangzhou Port.

At the moment the door opened with a creak, these two people’s gazes landed on Happy’s uncovered face. Their eyes burned brightly.

A voice filled with graveness and hostility rose in the alley.

“Happy, you’re here!” Animosity was written all over Barren Murderer’s face, while Drifting Sword was filled with fighting spirit more than hostility, along with some bits of bafflement. He seemed to feel as if the figure of the person in front of him was rather similar to the person who fought against him Yangzhou Port.

Happy chose to use indifference to face their burning gazes. He turned around in an uncaring fashion, and with his back turned against the crowd, he slowly shut the door before he said, “Vice Hall Master Barren, looks like the lesson you learned last time while I was in Beijing was not great enough. What is it now? Do you intend to surround and attack me in Beijing again? I’ll be willing to keep you company.”

Immediately, Happy’s words caused all Class One Hall elites to be completely on guard.

The group of people had their expressions change at the same time, and it was the same case for Barren Murderer.

“When it comes to courage, there is indeed no one who can compare to you. You actually had the guts to come to Beijing alone? Do you really think that Class One Hall will not dare attack you?”

“Do you?” Happy chuckled softly and walked into the crowd nonchalantly until he arrived in front of Barren Murderer.

When he walked into the enemy crowd alone, the group of people in the alley had their expressions change, and they retreated repeatedly.

The only people who did not retreat were Barren Murderer and Drifting Sword!

The people around them sensibly moved back by a large margin and emptied a large space for the trio.

Happy stared at Barren Murderer in a flippant manner, and Barren Murderer was livid.

He was equipped fully in four-echelon demon vessels, and his skin instantly turned black. His presence was extraordinary, and layers of profound qi surrounded him. That should be the effects of Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

Drifting Sword’s battle preparations were much simpler.

He stood in front of Happy with his sword, and his gaze was filled with puzzlement and solemnity.

He could sense a familiar presence from Happy, and at the same time, he also sensed an unprecedented threat and pressure from him.

“I’m in a hurry, so will you two attack me together?” Happy’s words made their expressions change at the same time.
