Chapter 106: Flying Sword Assassination (5 updates for subscription and monthly pass)
Hearing what Xuanzhenzi had said, many of the "heroes" present promptly stood up, indicating their willingness to take immediate action and relieve Xuanzhenzi of his troubles.
Xuanzhenzi smiled and waved his hand dismissively, "It’s but a petty thief. Behold as I eliminate him with my Sword Control."
No sooner had he spoken than he opened his mouth to emit a stream of silvery sword light which flew out and circled Wangxing Pavilion gracefully.
Watching the unpredictable glimmer that continually emitted a chilling Sword Qi, everyone present broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as though their lives at that very moment were no longer under their own control.
For a time, the thoughts of everyone present were in turmoil, some were filled with fear, others brimmed with longing, still others envied beyond measure...
"Sword light soaring across, like swallows flitting and dragons roaming, this Xuanzhenzi has indeed mastered the superior technique of flying swords. Ah, if one day I too could grasp the legacy of the Sword Hero, even death would leave me without regrets."
"This flying sword’s light extends over a zhang* in length. It’s probably an ancient sword revered for over two hundred years within the Heavenly Will Sect, a treasure beyond price. If only I could borrow it and play with it for just one night..."
"With Xuanzhenzi’s dazzling display of the sword today, it’s likely that all followers within Dongya Prefecture will look to him from now on. I’ve heard that he has also proposed marriage to his niece Jing Shiyu, hmph, typical of the demon people from a heretical sect, each one more depraved and shameless than the last, inspiring intense envy..."
Let’s not dwell on the various thoughts of the people present; Xuanzhenzi saw everyone’s gaze and was satisfied with a smile, saying:
"During my time in the city, I’ve been constantly told about this little thief and Shiyu acting suspiciously and intimately."
"Yet I never believed a word of it, my niece is innocent and pure, so how could she collude with outsiders to harm her own sect members?"
