I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 193

Chapter 193 - Lone Defeat

Luo He nodded, "Tell me about his experiences."

Xiang Yun recalled the letter Jin Yong had written in his Wuxia novels about Dugu Qiubai, and said, "This senior told me that he used four swords in his life!"

"The first sword is called 'Green Light Sharp Sword'. This senior used this sword before he became weak, to fight against the outstanding talents of River Styx."

The second sword's name is' Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword 'and it is the sword that Senior used before he was thirty years old. Senior once said,' This sword will cause one's competitive spirit and the blade of the sword to become uncontrollable.

"The third sword is called the 'Heavy Profound Iron Sword'. This sword is made of black iron and it is heavy, blunt and seamless. It is completely the opposite of ordinary treasured swords. Before he was forty years old, although he had no desire to fight, he could still rule the world. "

"The fourth sword is called 'Wooden Sword No Stall'. When the senior is forty years old, it will not stop at things. So, I buried the four swords in the deep valley and set up the Sword Tomb. "

"Phew!"

When Xiang Yun finished speaking, under the illumination of the bonfire opposite, Luo He's originally calm gaze had become lifeless!

"Brother Luo He?"

Suddenly, Luo He shot to her feet, grabbed Xiang Yun by the shoulder, and jumped over the bonfire as she asked excitedly.

"Brother Wei, where does this senior live? Can you bring me to see him?"

"Ah …" Xiang Yun was stunned before he shook his head helplessly, "This senior has already traveled far away. He said that he might not stay in this world any longer."

Xiang Yun had made up a lie. After all, this was a different world, a character from a martial arts novel. How could he possibly bring Luo He to see him?

Hearing that, Luo He's expression became even more agitated as she muttered to herself in a trembling voice, "So it's like that! So it was like that! Above the sword spirit, there is also the Fragmentation Realm.

"What?"

Xiang Yun was a little stunned by what Luo He had said. He had never heard of any fairyland or crumbled void.

Luo He immediately explained, "Rumor has it that once one reaches the sword spirit realm, one could be called an Earth Sword Immortal. However, if one can break through this realm and use the sword to shatter the void, one can ascend into the Immortal Realm and become a true 'Sword Immortal'!"

"You are saying that senior has already reached the Sword Immortal Realm?"

Xiang Yun's eyes widened in disbelief. From his point of view, the martial arts of Jin Yong was profound, but because he cultivated his internal energy, his combat prowess was clearly inferior to that of the Seven Stars Continent.

Luo He saw the doubt in Xiang Yun's eyes and nodded seriously. "I do not know how profound this senior's martial arts realm is, but he is definitely a prodigy in the way of the sword!"

"If I'm not wrong, this senior has already reached the Sword Intent realm in the year of the weaker contestant, and has already broken through to the Sword Heart realm in the short span of ten years."

"In the prime of his life, he has already stepped into the realm of the Sword Soul. After that, senior's realm has actually reached the extraordinary realm of transforming 'everything into a sword'!"

"Such a level of the Dao of the Sword has already reached the Transmutation realm. I'm afraid that only those who have reached the legendary Void Shattering Realm, which is also the Immortal Realm, will be able to do so."

Xiang Yun also let out a long breath, his heart violently trembling. He had never thought that Dugu Qiubai would actually have already reached such a terrifying level of sword immortal. No wonder he was able to leave behind such a peerless martial art like the "Nine Solitary Sword Technique"!

Luo He had yet to loosen her grip on Xiang Yun's shoulders. He could not remain calm as he continued to ask anxiously, "I wonder what this senior's name is!"

Xiang Yun then truthfully replied, "Senior's surname is Dugu, and I ask for your defeat!"

"Dugu Qiubai!"

Luo He's eyes glowed with a strange light. This was a gaze of reverence, a gaze of yearning!

"Senior Dugu once said that in his entire life, he only wanted to find an expert who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Unfortunately, even after spending his entire life, he was unable to find someone like that."

Xiang Yun lamented. In Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Dugu Qiubai was such a formidable swordsman of his generation!

Luo He also felt a little touched. "With such monstrous talent, among the same generation, who could possibly stand shoulder to shoulder with him? True experts are always lonely."

"Ah, let's not talk about this. Brother Wei, I wonder where senior lives. If we are fated to meet, it would be a blessing of three lifetimes for us to be able to visit the place where senior lived in the past!"

Xiang Yun could only helplessly shake his head, "This senior is rarely seen. I am only fortunate to have met him somewhere in my hometown."

A look of disappointment appeared on Luo He's face. A peerless sword immortal of the Void Shattering Realm would still be able to condense his true intent of the Dao of the Sword wherever he trained.

If he could find such a place and gain insights into the Dao of the Sword, Luo He believed that it would definitely have an extraordinary impact on his progress in the Dao of the Sword.

"Ai, such a man of the way of the sword, yet unable to witness such a fortunate event, is indeed a great regret in your life. Brother Wei, I am truly envious of you for being able to meet this senior!"

Luo He's gaze towards Xiang Yun did indeed carry envy.

It was a pity that Xiang Yun had not yet mastered the way of the sword at that time. If it was Luo He who had met such a divine person, he would probably benefit greatly from just a few words of advice from the latter.

"Whatever, whatever. Sword Immortals are not people that we can see just because we want to. I simply do not have any fortuitous encounters." Luo He sighed as she shook her head.

Seeing Luo He so depressed, Xiang Yun felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart as well. He consoled Luo He.

"It's alright Brother Luo He. When I return to my hometown, if I meet that senior again, I'll definitely get him to teach me a set of sword techniques. At that time, I'll let you practice it again, okay?"

"Puchi!"

Luo He couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. In his opinion, Xiang Yun's words were practically a fantasy. Let's not talk about the possibility of meeting this senior again. Why would that senior teach you a sword skill?

"Brother Luo He, what are you laughing about?"

"Oh, I just thought of something funny."

"Did you hear what I just told you?"

"Mm. You want that senior to teach you a sword technique, then you have to show it to me? Okay, I will wait for that day!"

Luo He narrowed her eyes into a smile. Her eyes were like crescent moons, and her smile was extremely enchanting!

Xiang Yun wondered in his heart. When would he be able to see the Nine Swords of the Dugu clan on the wheel?

The next morning, the two people inside the cave quickly packed up their bags, extinguished the bonfire, and continued on their way.

Xiang Yun didn't know why, but even though the two of them had already arrived at the center of the Setting Sun Forest, which greatly reduced the danger, Luo He was still in such a rush.

As Luo He hurried on her way, her heart was secretly worried!

For the past two days, she had been feeling rather unsettled. She had always felt that there was some sort of danger approaching them quietly. This was also the reason why he had always urged Xiang Yun to hurry along.

Far away, just like Xiang Yun and Luo He, there was more than one person hurrying along. It was a mighty steel current formed by thousands of men and horses. Wherever the great army went, smoke and dust would billow out like a hurricane!

On both sides of the road, the citizens that had stretched several miles were kowtowing and kowtowing!

This was not an order from the military marshal, nor was it an action given by the military officers. In order to curry favor with their superiors, the citizens nearby had all heard the news and came over to kowtow and send them off.

Some of them were carrying baskets of eggs, some were carrying bundles of firewood, some were carrying baskets of vegetables, and some even brought their own sheep out.

All of them carried bags and shouldered bags. They took out the specialties of their families, ate food, pushed and stuffed food, and insisted on giving them to the soldiers.

However, even though it was difficult for these civilians to refuse this favor and make sure to gift these things to them, none of the soldiers who were marching reached out to receive them.

Although they did not say a single word, they all nodded their heads in greeting. The soldiers did not stop their steps as they continued their journey without any hesitation!

In the entire Wind Cloud Country, there was only one person who could bring out such an army, an army that was strictly disciplined and deeply loved by the people. This was the man known as the War God of the Wind Cloud Country.

This time, Xiang Tian led a huge army of a hundred thousand men to the Dragon City to carry out the ceremony. Soon after, the great army took the Dragon City's Endless Light Pass and crossed the several kilometers of Dragon Traveling Road in the southwest direction.

Along that river, the wide river that stretched across the north and south of the Windy Nation, the Han River flowed all the way south, unstoppable by rain or wind.

In less than half a month's time, the great army had already arrived at the southernmost region of the Wind Cloud Country, the Binzhou County, one of the three prefectural cities!

In the southernmost area of the Wind Cloud Country, there was a large marsh called the 'Nanze'. Because its area was enormous, it was like an inner sea and was also known as the 'Southern Sea'.

At the edge of the South Sea, at the border of the Windy Nation, there were three prefectural cities, arranged in a row. The two prefectural cities closest to the South Sea were known as Linze County and Lelang County.

It was slightly to the north and coincidentally in between the two counties. It was the place where the one hundred thousand soldiers of the Western Paradise army was going to arrive at, the Binzhou County City.

Since the founding of the State of Feng Yun, these three counties have been subjected to harassment by both the South Island and the Nissan countries.

Soldiers from both countries would often disguise themselves as commoners and infiltrate the Windcloud Nation's borders. They would smash and rob each other, committing all sorts of evil.

In addition, their movements were extremely fast. Even with the local government officials surrounding and annihilating them many times, they had all come back empty-handed. Instead, they had wasted a large amount of wealth and resources.

A hundred years had passed since the founding of the Windcloud Nation. The acts of the bandits of these two countries could only be described as having lasted for a few years when Xiang Ling led the Snow Wolf Cavalry to massacre the allied armies of the ten countries and shocked the entire Northwest Continent.

After a few years, these two countries actually made a comeback and continued to commit evil. These past two years had become more and more intense.

One year ago, the two countries sent their armies to attack Nanze City. At that time, the two countries' soldiers had already attacked the southern walls of the city.

Fortunately, at that time, the Binzhou prefecture overseer and the Lelang prefecture overseer had dispatched troops in time to besiege the ships off the coast of the two countries to save Zhao. Otherwise, the Nanze prefecture might have fallen into the hands of thieves.

In these years, the citizens of the three counties had been constantly relocating. Most of the people in the city were elderly people who were reluctant to move because they were reluctant to leave their hometowns or had conflicts between their legs.

People did not want to live in a place like this, where bandits easily killed them, and the imperial army was unable to protect them. This situation caused the citizens of the three counties to live in extreme pain and suffering.

However, a few days ago, rumors came from the county governor's residences of the three counties that the imperial government had sent a hundred thousand troops to suppress the thieves from the two countries.

The commoners of the three counties did not react at all when they heard the news. Some of the elders even shook their heads and sighed.

"What's the use of an army? What's the use of an army of a hundred thousand? Haven't the imperial government sent a lot of troops in the past few decades?"

When they came, all of them were full of ambition. They said that they would not kill the bandits and they would never stop until they had killed all the bandits, but which time was not a thunderous one? When the rain was small, they surrounded and killed those bandits a few times, and after eating enough of the mud on the bottom of those bandits' feet, they lost their will to fight.

Someone echoed him, "You're right. These soldiers all eat official's meals. We treat them like masters and can't get things done!"

Once they had started, the others also started to complain, "Right, right, right. Rather than sending this kind of army to bother the people, why don't you give us some land to move somewhere else to live?"

"That's right, don't send any troops. It would be useless even if they did!"

For a time, the news of the imperial government sending troops did not calm the people down. Instead, it stirred up the crowd and appealed to the imperial government not to send troops.

As such, there were even people from many areas that organized a parade and surrounded County Governor Manor, causing the county city to be enveloped in a thick miasma.

However, after the three county governor released the news at the same time, everything changed drastically!
