Chapter Four: Five Sword Sects

The Five Sword Sect was situated on the peak of the Virtuous Heaven Mountain, which was surrounded by clouds and mist. The mountains were covered with dark green trees, while the empty mountains were quiet. On the mountain road, silhouettes of people suddenly moved, a group of men in black quickly rushed towards the lone mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there were two disciples. One of them said, “I heard that Eldest Martial Brother found Lu Xiaotian’s heirloom today.”

The other one said, “Yes, eldest senior brother is really vicious. However, he is also severely injured, and the Sect Leader’s Martial Uncle is currently treating him. ”

The first one said, “I wonder what Lu Xiaotian’s treasure is.”

The latter said, “I’m not sure. I heard it was a martial arts manual written by Lu Xiaotian’s martial arts.”

The first one said, “It can’t be. I heard that eldest senior brother brought Jade Butterfly’s young lady, Chen Fang, today. Someone heard that Chen Fang said it was some kind of embroidered box, and inside it was a treasure map.”

The latter said, “Really? If it’s a treasure map, then it’s fine.”

The first person said, “What? Are you still planning something? I didn’t hear from the Sect Leader that this matter should be left to the Shaolin Temple. Even if it’s a treasure map, it’s not a problem for you.”

The latter said, “How can I have the guts?” The mountain breeze blew, and a mountain bird flew out from the forest, crying out to the heavens. He wrapped up his clothes and said, “What kind of weather is this? It’s already sunny and spring, yet it’s still so cold. Tonight, the moon is dark and the winds are strong. We can’t let anything happen.”

The first one said, “Fuck your crow beak. We will protect this mountain.” Before the door even said anything, two blades sliced through their throats. The two black shadows instantly passed through the gate. Whether the opponent was a human or a ghost, they couldn’t even see clearly. The two black shadows immediately caught their falling bodies. Their cooperation was flawless and they didn’t waste the slightest bit of time.

There were no stars nor was there a moon. The night was as cold as water, and four elders could be seen pacing left and right within the palace. He looked anxious. There was a creaking sound as if the door was being opened. The four old men flew towards the back of the hall and surrounded an old man in his sixties.

The elder had a purplish-gold crown on his head and a peaceful expression on his face. His crescent blue robe made him look even more extraordinary. The old man said slowly, “It should be fine.”

A slightly shorter old man among the four said, “Can we go in and take a look at Yuanying?”

The old man with the golden crown was the leader of the Five Sword Sect, Liu Jinxiang. He waved his hand and said, “Thank you for your concern, Junior Brothers. Now that he has gone to sleep, we can see about it tomorrow. Did you send a message to Shaolin?

The yellow robed old man replied, “It will be released by noon.” “I should have received it earlier.”

Liu Jinxiang said, “Good. Tomorrow, when High Monk Shaolin arrives, we will immediately head to Shaowang Mountain.”

The four elders answered in unison, “Yes!”

At this time, Chen Fang had also heard the commotion and came over. She asked, “Uncle Liu, how is Brother Yuan Ying?”

Liu Jinxiang replied, “You’re risking your life. You’ve suffered quite a bit, so you should go rest first.”

Chen Fang said, “It’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for my Brother Yuan Ying, he wouldn’t have been injured like this.” Let me go in and look after him. ”

Liu Jinxiang said, “Let him rest a bit longer. Your sister-in-law and Lin’er are inside.”

Suddenly, a disciple rushed over and shouted, “Sect Leader, something bad happened!”

The slightly shorter old man said, “What happened to you in such a hurry? Hurry up and tell us.”

That disciple said, “Report this to the Sect Leader and the Masters and Uncles.” “A thief has barged in and is now approaching the main hall.”

The old man said, “What, what are the disciples guarding the sect going to eat? How could this happen? “Why aren’t you coming with me to take a look?” The words came to him at the door.

Liu Jinxiang said, “Ol ‘Five’s temper is still so urgent.” “It seems like tonight’s matter is not simple.”

The four elders hurriedly walked towards the main hall. He saw that the main hall was in chaos, and there were dozens of corpses lying on the ground. No matter how well-nourished Liu Jinxiang was, he couldn’t help but be moved. He shouted, “Stop!”

The shout pierced through the clouds like a thunderclap. He said harshly, “Who are you people? How dare you come to my Five Sword Sect to behave atrociously?” Looking at the entire hall of black clothed people, all of them had their faces covered while their own disciples were lying on the ground, the viciousness of these black clothed people was truly shocking.

The old man who had just left just happened to kill a black-clothed man. He walked up to Liu Jinxiang and said, “Sect Leader, you must be careful. These people are all experts.”

At this moment, there were two pairs of eyes on the stage. Liu Jinxiang walked to the center and said, “Who sent you two here?”

A shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall. Even Liu Jinxiang couldn’t see how the shadow had entered. The shadow’s movement technique was so strange that he had never even heard of it before.

The black shadow held a folding fan in his hand. It was unknown if the folding fan was a picture of a mountain or a mist. It was so misty that one could not see it clearly, and it added an eerie aura to it. “Liu Jinxiang, you really are stupid. If they tell you, they won’t cover your face.”

Listening to the voice, this black shadow’s age was not big, and his movement technique was actually so strange at such a young age. The yellow-robed elder said, “You thief, how dare you call my sect leader by his full name?”

The black-clothed youth laughed out loud. His laughter was shrill and shrill, like a demon that had just emerged from hell. He said coldly, “Tonight, I’ve come to kill all of you. Tell me, what else do I not dare to do?”

The yellow-robed old man said, “What an arrogant bandit, let me fight you.” He drew his sword and pointed it at the old man’s throat.

The youth coldly snorted and said, “You aren’t worthy to fight with me!” Two black shadows flashed from his side, attacking the yellow-robed old man with a blade and sword.

The yellow-robed old man was ranked third among the five elders. His name was Luo Jinrui, and he had been famous since he was young. Yet, this arrogant young man actually said that he wasn’t worthy to be his opponent. He couldn’t help but be enraged. The sword light transformed into thousands of cold stars as it fiercely attacked.

Two black shadows, one saber and one sword. They complemented each other, with one defending and the other attacking. The longsword defended as it danced in an impenetrable manner. Single saber attack, peerlessly fast.

After a few moves, he was forced to retreat. He thought to himself, “Don’t tell me I’m really old!”

The fifth brother, Ma Jin, saw that Luo Jinrui was being pushed back and the third senior brother was actually unable to stop the two of them. The two of them attacked each other and cooperated with each other. “Two against one. What kind of man are you?” He leaped up and attacked with his sword.

The youth in black said, “We didn’t say ourselves that we were good men. “It’s just that you forced yourself to be a good man.” Two more shadows flashed out from his side and attacked Ma JinChuang.

The black-clothed youth continued, “Tonight, none of you will leave this place. If I don’t understand your Five Sword School, how would I dare to come up the mountain? ” Then he laughed again.

Liu Jinxiang said, “That will depend on whether you have the ability or not.” A sword beam flashed as it flashed towards the black-clothed youth’s throat like a bolt of lightning in the darkness. After what had happened tonight, this youth should be the leader of these men in black, capturing the thief first and capturing the king.

The black-clothed youth folded his fan and blocked the attack. “Old fool, you still have some strength. Then I’ll play with you.”

Liu Jinxiang’s sword aura turned into a long rainbow, continuous and dense. The black-clothed youth’s movements were strange, and no matter how he attacked, he wouldn’t be able to touch a single spot of Liu Jinxiang’s clothes.

The black-clothed youth suddenly retreated three feet. “Old man, that’s all you can do. Now let me show you my benefits. ” Suddenly, he retracted his folding fan and intersected his palms. Like a whirlwind, he flashed towards Liu Jinxiang’s chest like a meteor, leaving him with no time to dodge. They were sent flying three to four feet away. Lying on the ground, his eyes were wide open as he said, “It’s the Sky Worm Silk …” He did not finish his sentence. A folding fan entered his throat.

The youth in black leaned over and whispered into Liu Jinxiang’s ear, “I didn’t expect you to recognize him.” With that said, he took out his folding fan. Hot blood poured from his folding fan.

The four elders rushed to Liu Jinxiang’s side and shouted his name. At this moment, Liu Jinxiang had already died.

The wind continued to howl. The mournful wind was like sharp knives piercing into everyone’s body, piercing into their bones.

The four elders looked at each other. Everyone knew that the odds were against them today. Suddenly, the three old men charged towards the youth in black. Although their martial arts had yet to reach the Transcending Mortality Stage, they were still extraordinary. The three old men’s all-out attack was exceptionally fierce. Even though the youth’s movement technique was strange, it caused him to move up and down, dodging with all his might.

However, Luo Jinrui rushed into the back hall and rushed into the room where Liu Yuanyin was healing. He saw a beautiful woman sitting on the bed and chair. She was tall and had a graceful figure. He was wearing a set of emerald green clothes. He walked over lightly. “Third teacher, what happened?”

Luo Jinrui said, “Yumei, the bandits are too hard on you tonight. Take Lin’er with you and leave first.”

Chen Yumei asked, “What? Where’s Daddy?”

Luo Jinrui said, “Head senior brother, quickly leave. Don’t ask so much, no one will be able to leave if you’re late. Right now, your three martial uncles are supporting us, we won’t be able to escape for long.”

Chen Yumei was shocked by the change. She woke up and said, “Who dares to be so bold? I’ll go take a look.” Just as he sat up, a long snatch flew in from outside the window to pierce his body.

Chen Yumei screamed and ran over to catch Liu Yuanying. “Yuan Ying, how are you?” Tears rolled down his face.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Liu Yuanying gripped Chen Yumei’s hands tightly and said, “Quickly, go and protect our Lin’er.” As soon as he finished speaking, he left.

Chen Yumei cried, “Yuanyinying, you can’t leave me alone.”

Roginari thought how quickly the thieves came. She hurriedly said, “Yu Mei, let’s go quickly. The thief is here.” Lin’er. “Take Lin’er and leave quickly.”

Startled, Chen Yumei exclaimed, “Lin’er!” “Where is my Lin’er?”

“Isn’t Lin here? She should go back to her room to sleep.”

Chen Yumei’s heart skipped a beat and immediately rushed out of the room. A shadow flashed in the yard and the three elders were engaged in a fierce battle.

Magin said, “Why haven’t you left yet? Do you really want my Five Sword Sect to destroy their seed? ”

Chen Yumei called out to the Fifth Martial Aunt and quickly went to Lin’er’s room.

As soon as he stepped out of the doorway, he was thrown into the air and immediately held on to him with both hands.

Ma Jin said, “Third senior brother, why haven’t you left yet? Brother, we can’t hold on much longer. ”

A trickle of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had suffered internal injuries. He said, “Junior Martial Brother Ma, you are injured.” “You take Lin’er and leave first, I’ll leave this heavy burden to you.” With that, he rushed into the fray.

Ma Jin looked at Luo Jinrui’s disappearing figure and said, “Master, you can go ahead.”

He heard a loud laugh and said, “Who can leave tonight?” The young man folded his fan and took Ma Jin’s throat.

Maginent swore at the thief. He immediately raised his sword and leaped three feet back. He actually felt a strong wind blowing against his face. How could this Thief’s martial arts be so powerful?

At this moment, the black-clothed men were tightly surrounding the four of them. The youth said, “Quickly go find that woman. Leave none alive and kill them all. ”

Chen Yumei slammed open the door of Lin’er’s room. The room was pitch black. She rushed to the bed and touched it, but there was no one there. The bed was cold, so where could Lin’er have been surprised in her heart? She called out, “Lin’er, Lin’er!” “Where are you?”

The night was getting darker. The dark wind was like cold blood, and the nameless insect birds were also wailing.

Chen Yumei’s heart sank. This sudden change had caused his entire body to collapse.

Suddenly, a shout came from a dark corner. Mom, Lin’er is here.

Chen Yumei was overjoyed. “Quickly, come here!”

Lin’er tightly hugged her mother’s thigh. “Mother, I’m so scared.”

Chen Yumei said, “Lin’er, don’t be afraid. Mother is here.” He picked up Lin’er. He hurriedly headed outside. He had just bumped into Chen Fang. He saw that she was also rushing over.

Chen Fang said, “Sister-in-law, what happened?”

Chen Yumei said, “Sister Fang, hurry up and go, don’t ask so much. I don’t know where many black clothed people came from tonight. “Even my father used his meridians … Sigh … Hurry, let’s go. My four uncles are currently holding on with all their might.”

Chen Fang exclaimed, “It’s all my fault. I’ve implicated your entire sect. Just who are these people to act so viciously?”

Chen Yumei said, “What’s the use of saying these things now?” Our uncles are buying us time. If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to get away. ”

Chen Fang said, “Alright, sister-in-law, you go first. I’ll go take her with me.” He hurried back to his room.

The four elders had their backs to each other. Although the black clothed men’s kung fu was high, why would they be patient with them? Sword-light flew about in the courtyard. The cold light flashed and the wind howled in all directions.

The black-clothed youth folded his fan and said, “Don’t waste time.” He threw the folding fan with all his might, aiming it at Ma JinChuang’s chest. The force was so ferocious that it made it seem as if his speed was more urgent than anything else.

At this moment, Ma JinChuang was fighting the two men in black. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood shot out from his chest. He stared and saw that it was actually the youth’s folding fan. With this slight movement, the two long swords pierced through his chest. Without waiting for his body to hit the ground, the youth flashed forward like a ghost. He drew out the folding fan, and with a turn of his wrist, the folding fan struck towards the bowl in Rogingre’s hand.

His wrist hurt, and he couldn’t hold his sword. This youth used a folding fan and was able to move so heavily. With just one move, he was able to cause Luo Jinrui, who had been practicing hard for thirty years, to not even be able to hold onto his sword. Before the sword could reach the ground, the other sword’s tip had pierced through his throat.

The other two elders were even more shocked as they called out for their junior brother. He was in a dilemma because he couldn’t split himself up from his attacks.

The black-clothed youth was caught off guard and killed five sword and two old men in succession. His speed and accuracy were both astonishing.

Not long after, the other two elders also died to the Chaotic Sword.

One of the men in black said, “Young master, we didn’t discover the woman who escaped.”

The youth in black said, “Go find him, we definitely can’t let him go!” His eyes were sharp, intimidating as he thought to himself, “We definitely can’t let the mistakes we made back then happen. They shouldn’t have let me stay.” “Now, I will have all of you return!”

At this time, a black-clothed person rushed in from outside the main hall and said, “Young master, we’ve discovered that someone is coming up the mountain!”

The youth’s eyes flashed as he said, “Who is it that can climb this mountain tonight?”

The man in black said, “It seems to be the Ice Magic Sect’s leader, Luo Haolong. The brothers at the foot of the mountain are afraid of alerting the enemy, so they didn’t dare to make a move.”

The teenager said, “This is good as well. Let them clean up the mess. “Let’s go chase that girl!”

Chen Fang ran into the room and quickly carried Zhang Qingyun and ran out. Zhang Qingyun said, “Mother, what happened again?”

Chen Fang said, “Yun’er, our mother has implicated the entire Five Sword Sect. We shall never forget this kindness for the rest of our lives. ” Just as he was about to exit the room, a cold, pitch-black sword appeared in front of him.

Chen Fang was shocked. “Who are you?”

That person didn’t answer and just reached out his hand to tap Chen Fang’s acupoint and carried him on his shoulder. He flew across the courtyard as if he was flying. He came to a big tree and fell heavily on the ground.

The man said, “Young master, how should we deal with this woman and child?”

The youth with the paper fan walked out from behind the tree and said, “Release him.”

That person didn’t seem to understand and said, “What? Let him go.”

The youth in black said, “Yes, but we have to let Luo Haolong and the others see it so that the entire martial arts world will be in chaos.”

That person said, “Young Master is really wise!”

The youth in black said, “Go, but don’t let Luo Haoran see you. If he sees you, he won’t be able to come back.”

That person said, “Don’t worry, Young Lord.” With that, he carried Chen Fang and her son away as if they were flying.

The night once again returned to silence, dead silent. The wind rustled the branches, as if death itself was raging.

Chen Yumei brought Lin’er out of the courtyard. It was pitch black outside, so she couldn’t tell where they were heading. Suddenly there was a rustling behind him. The two black shadows chased after them at top speed. He was so frightened that he ran down the hill.

The black shadow was extremely fast and instantly chased after Chen Yumei. Two long swords pierced forward.

Chen Yumei was so scared that cold sweat broke out all over her body. She leaned against the tree and didn’t even have the time to dodge. Tears fell from his eyes like rain, and he closed his eyes.

For a long time, there was no feeling in his throat. Could it be that he didn’t feel anything even after he died? Am I dead? He slowly opened his eyes and saw three monks standing in front of him. The sword in front of him was held by two fingers of an old monk, and the sword seemed to have grown roots on the monk’s fingers.

The old monk chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, “Who are you people, how can you be so vicious?”

The other man in black flashed his sword light straight into the old monk’s eyes. The sword’s aura was vicious and swift.

The two monks beside him said at the same time, “Impudent!” The staff in his hand hurriedly smashed down. The force of the attack was ferocious, comparable to a peerless existence.

The black clothed man’s hands were numb from the shock. Blood was seeping out of his wounds.

The old monk pointed with his finger and the long sword was cut in half. With a wave of his wrist, he stared at the feet of the black clothed man. The man in black fell to the ground because he couldn’t stand still.

The old monk dropped the staff to the ground and buried it five inches in the ground. With a rumble, the earth shook and the mountains shook. “Who are you people?”

The two men in black fell to the ground, blood flowing from their mouths. He actually committed suicide by taking poison.

The old monk chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, “What a sinister method.”

The middle-aged monk said, “Martial Uncle, these people are very vicious. In order to prevent the destruction of their deeds, they actually hid a huge amount of poison in their mouth.”

Chen Yumei said, “Thank you, Master, for saving my life.”

The old monk said, “What happened here?”

Chen Yumei told him everything she knew

The old monk said, “As soon as this old monk received the orders from the Sect Leader, he quickly rushed over. I didn’t expect that he was still a step too slow. “Looks like another calamity has struck the martial arts world.”

The middle-aged monk said, “Where is that female benefactor Chen Fang?”

Chen Yumei said, “We were lost on the way.”

The old monk said, “Let’s look around.”

Immediately, the five people followed the mountain road and looked for a path.

The night was getting darker and thicker. In the darkness of the night, a black shadow quickly flashed behind a large tree. He knelt down on one knee and said, “Young master. Two bodies were found in front of us. ”

The youth with the paper fan said, “What? Take me to see it.”

The man in black answered with a “Yes” before flying away.

They arrived at the place where the two men in black were taking the poison. The man in black said, “Young Lord, you committed suicide by taking poison.”

The black-clothed youth looked up and down his surroundings. He saw that the long sword on the ground had been broken, but the two people didn’t have any injuries. Only the tip of the sword remained at his feet.

The black clothed man said, “What kind of person is so vicious?” “He actually managed to force our men to take the poison.”

The youth in black said, “Tell our men to leave quickly. Shaolin’s men have arrived. Look, these two have no wounds on them, and the swords on the ground have been broken into several pieces. This kind of deed can only be done by those who think themselves to be doing it, those who say that they are sad.

In the blink of an eye, all of the black-clothed men in the forest miraculously disappeared.

The night was even darker. The earth seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Except for the whistling of the mountain wind, there were occasional sounds of insects whining in the silent and dark night. It was a cold and silent Five Sword Sect. There was actually a person walking alone in the great hall.

When that person saw the entire hall filled with cold-blooded sword remnants, his expression couldn’t help but change. He murmured, “I didn’t expect to arrive so late!” He suddenly turned around and said, “Sect Leader Chu, you just came. Why didn’t you come down?”

Before he could finish his sentence, an exceptionally beautiful woman appeared in the hall. This middle-aged woman was none other than the Five Poison Cult’s headmaster, Chu Yuxia. She laughed and said, “Sect Leader Luo, you have good eyesight. Who was so vicious to actually destroy the Five Sword Sects? Even I am ashamed.”

That person, who was also the leader of the Cold Ice Sect, Luo Haolong, said, “I was a step too late. It seems like these five swords are the beginning of this calamity.”

Suddenly, there were a few footsteps outside the door and both of them shouted, “Who is it?” A figure could be seen disappearing into the darkness.

Chen Fang had been carried by the man in black outside the hall of the Five Sword Sect. He opened the acupoint. When she stood up, the man was gone. Suddenly, he saw a group of black shadows at the foot of the mountain. The person who came was Luo Haolong.

Chen Fang heard that the youth with the paper fan wanted to send her here so that they could catch her and cause chaos in the martial arts world. Hiding behind the tree, he didn’t dare to make a sound. Only after seeing them slowly enter the inner hall did they dare to fly down the mountain. Unexpectedly, they were still discovered by them.

It was a dark and gloomy night. The cold and gloomy wind howled outside, and the rustling of leaves could be heard from time to time. Chen Fang’s heart was already engulfed in fear. His entire body was shaking uncontrollably. Not daring to look back, he ran forward with all his might. He hoped that the dark night would hide his tracks.

The two of them chased after the black shadow, and the palace became deathly silent once again. A figure suddenly jumped down from the treetops outside the door. It was the old man from the Gu Sha family. Seeing the corpses all over the floor, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart, especially when he walked into the hall. He thought to himself, “I didn’t expect that such a big Five Sword Sect would be annihilated overnight.” Suddenly, a deep voice came from outside the door. Who’s here?

The elder was shocked. There was actually someone else here. Turning around, he saw a peerlessly beautiful woman standing at the door. He was holding a seven or eight year old child in his hand.

Suddenly, someone chanted in the hall, “What are you doing here, Almsgiver?”

The old man was shocked again. He didn’t know when three monks came from the hall, but he said, “Master, in this pitch black night, it is frightening to be scared.”

The old monk asked, “Then Benefactor, what are you doing here?”

The old man’s gaze shifted and he said, “I saw a thief coming in. Yes, I did. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” Just as he turned around, he saw a yellow shadow floating in front of him. Two middle-aged monks stood quietly in front of him.

The old monk said, “Almsgiver, why do you panic in front of this old monk?”

The old man had no choice but to tell them everything he had told them in the inn. He then followed Luo Chu and Han Ying Xue to the top of Lingxiao Peak.

The old monk chanted a Buddhist prayer again.

The old man said, “This is how it is, can I leave now, Master?”

The old monk chanted a Buddhist prayer and walked past him to Chen Yumei, saying, “Lady, let’s go back to Shaolin tonight. I’m afraid it will be difficult to find that female benefactor.”

Chen Yumei replied, “Yes, everything will be decided by the Grandmaster.”

The old man had just taken two steps when he saw a staff approaching him. Without thinking, he quickly retreated three feet. However, before the tip of his foot could reach the ground, another monk used a sweeping leg to lift him to the ground. Before he could even turn around, two buddhist staff had already reached his neck.

The old monk said, “Since Almsgiver is unwilling to speak the truth, follow me back to Shaowroom Mountain.”

The elder said, “Master, I said yes …” Before he could finish his sentence, he was struck dumb.

The six of them hurriedly descended the mountain in the darkness of the night.

The great hall once again returned to silence, a burst of mountain wind blowing through the mountains. The fallen leaves were swept up and withered leaves fell from the sky. Covering the eyes of the dead man, a crow wailed and flew up into the sky.
