Chapter 17: Will You Come Back?
these tributes meant recognizing the existence of these gangs, allowing them to survive.That Black Yan gang, their annual filial piety offerings to the Su family were obviously substantial, and this t...On the martial arts stage, Su Xin lowered his head and stood there honestly.
"Su Xin, my dear cousin, no, I mean Jian Yi sir... It's good to see you. You're well, aren't you"
"You really hid this well. How come I didn't see it before"
Su Yunning paced around Su Xin, looking menacing.
Su Xin smiled bitterly.
He knew that as he displayed his prowess in the family tournament, especially with his swordsmanship, his identity as Sword One would surely be revealed.
Su Yuning had directly asked "Jian Yi" for advice, and Su Xin's swordsmanship displayed in the big competition was at least the level of the thirteenth floor of Zhenwu Pavilion. There is no doubt that Su Xin is Jian Yi.
"Sister Ning, I wasn't trying to hide my identity before, was I" Su Xin couldn't help but say.
"Shut up, who told you to speak" Su Yuning's low growl made Su Xin immediately shut his mouth.
Next, Su Yuning scolded Su Xin severely.
Su Xin just listened silently, without rebutting. Many of the younger members of the Su family secretly chuckled beside him.
After a while, Su Yuning finished scolding him. Then she came to Su Xin and patted his forehead. “Although you pretended in front of me and weren't sincere enough, you killed Zhao Ling in the competition and avenged all the children of our Su family. You did a good job.”
Su Xin smirked.
"Alright, don't get too cocky. While you got rid of Zhao Ling and it must have felt good, the trouble that follows won't be small. His father, Zhao Tianlei, definitely won't let this go unpunished," Su Yuning added.
I know, Father has already told me too, I'll be careful about Su Xindao.
"That's good, with the head of the family here, Zhao Tianlei won't be able to make any waves." Su Yuning nodded slightly, but then immediately leaned closer, "Cousin, I heard everything you said to me in front of the Zhenwu Pavilion before. My swordsmanship has also improved quite a bit this time. Why don't we spar again"
If faced with the high-ranking swordsman ‘Jian Yi’, Su Yu Ning would naturally be filled with respect and awe. To ask for guidance from him, she would need to gather a great deal of courage to approach.
Now, however, she was facing her cousin Su Xin, who had been close to her since childhood. So Yu Ning felt very relaxed.
"can"
Su Xin nodded and picked up a random twig from the side, smiling: "Ning Jie, just go ahead and make your move."
"Boy, you're really arrogant."
Seeing Su Xin only pick up a twig, Su Yuning couldn't help but grind her teeth. However, she also knew that her cousin really had such strength.
Soon, the two clashed.
Ding!
As soon as he raised his face, Su Yuning's sword was knocked out of her hand by a branch.
"Is this it then"
Su Yuning was dumbfounded, but upon Su Xin's gesture, she picked up her sword and attacked again.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Each encounter.
All that remains is a facade, while Su Yuning's sword flies out again and again.
This time, Su Xin wasn't like he was before at Zhenwu Pavilion. He didn't wait for Su Yunning to unleash all his moves before defeating him.
After all, before this, Su Xin waited for Su Yuning to use all his means, wanting to see through Su Yuning's true strength so that he could give pointers. However, now that Su Xin knows Su Yuning's strength like the back of his hand, there is naturally no need to go through such trouble.
After several consecutive bouts, the two stopped fighting.
"Ning Jie, your swordsmanship has indeed improved from before. It's not as flashy anymore, it's more steady, but the foundation of your swordsmanship is still not solid enough. You can't even hold your sword steadily…" Su Xin pointed out some flaws in Su Yu Ning's swordsmanship.
Su Yuning nodded silently.
She also discovered that although Su Xin used branches and his power output was similar to hers, every time they clashed, her sword was directly knocked away by his branch.
While Su Xin was instructing Su Yuning, the Su family members who were watching the martial arts display on the platform were all astonished.
“A single twig, time and again sending Sister Ning’s sword flying”
"That's impressive, Sister Ning's swordsmanship is already very good. But in front of Brother Su Xin, it's almost like a baby."
"Su Xin, your brother is too strong!"
Su Yu Ning, having passed the ninth floor of the Zhenwu Pavilion, her swordsmanship is already the best among the younger generation of the Su family.
However, Su Yuning in front of Zhao Xin, was truly just like a baby who had just learned to walk, the gap was simply too big.
"Su Xin, my brother"
A young woman from the Su family approached somewhat nervously and asked, "My younger sister also uses a sword. I wonder if my elder brother can also give some pointers"
"Of course," Su Xin smiled, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "You all can as well. If you want to spar with me, just step forward."
"Excellent! These young members of the Su family were instantly overjoyed."
cousin
A voice tinged with remorse rose.
"Xiaoming" Su Xin looked at the person who came.
"Cousin, I sincerely apologize for what happened before."
Before Su Xinguang returned to the Su family, it was he who stood in front of Su Xin and pointed at his nose and scolded him.
Later, in their several meetings, he didn't give Su Xin any good looks.
"Haha, you and I are brothers. There's no need to be so suspicious. I patted Su Ming on the shoulder and said, "Besides, what happened three years ago, I was indeed wrong towards the family."
"Well, no need to say much more. Xiao Ming, why don't you join us" Su Xin asked.
Of course, Su Ming nodded repeatedly.
Next, Su Xin began to spar with the younger generations of the Su family on this martial arts field.
It's called honing one's skills, but in reality, it's just guidance.
Although Su Xin was very happy to receive this guidance.
Because he could clearly perceive that these young members of the Su family held him, his cousin, in respect, admiration, and even worship.
More than three years ago, as the first genius of the Su family, many younger generations of the Su family often came to him for "advice" and sparring. He was also very willing to give pointers.
Because this is so warm and cozy, this is what home feels like.
Not until an hour later, when Su Xin was too tired to point out any more, did these Su family disciples let Su Xin leave.
"Uncle Two"
Su Xin came before his second uncle, Su Baihu, and bowed respectfully.
"Su Xin"
Su Baihu looked at his nephew, a smile on his face. "Is something the matter"
"My Uncle has always been in charge of the Su family's affairs. He receives news from Tianshui City first hand. I want to ask my uncle to keep an eye on Zhao Tianlei. As soon as he leaves Tianshui City, please let me know," said Su Xindao.
Although Baihu didn't know what Xinxun planned to do, he still nodded in agreement.
Su Xin bowed again and then turned to leave.
The next few days.
Although Su Xin spent most of his time cultivating, he still made some time to go to the martial arts field and "spar" with the younger generations of the Su family.
And while Su Xin's status among the Su family children had nearly returned to what it was three years ago, his actual strength convinced them.
So, when word got out that Su Xin often gave pointers at the martial arts field, a large number of disciples would gather there every day, waiting for his arrival.
Even some powerful figures from the Su family who had already reached the Sea Transformation realm were intrigued.
"Whoosh!"
A sword shadow, seemingly hazy, possessed a speed completely beyond human vision. It struck directly against the spear, then, in a single swift movement, drew along the length of the spear, striking the wielder's wrist with force.
Whoosh!
The middle-aged man in gray, wielding a sword, only felt a searing pain in his wrist. The spear in his hand slipped from his grip, and he staggered back several steps.
"Beautiful!"
Wow!
All the young Su family members watching from the sidelines were visibly excited.
"Uncle Hang, you're too kind," smiled Su Xin as he looked at the gray-clothed middle-aged man named Su Bo Hang in front of him. In his hand, he still held a tree branch.
"The young master's swordsmanship is admirable. Su Bohang chuckled in admiration."
And the young swordsman beside him was none other than Su Qinghong, who, before Su Xin's arrival, was considered the only one capable of challenging Zhao Ling. However, at this moment, his eyes burned with intense heat and shock.
“Su Bohang, he’s already a top expert who has achieved the peak of cultivation, the perfect state of 'Hǎi Huàn'. Even though he didn't rely on his strength but purely competed in skill, his marksmanship was incredibly impressive. However, Su Xin only used a simple branch and with just one face-on strike, defeated him” Su Qinghong’s heart was already churning with an immense storm.
He knew Su Xin's swordsmanship was extraordinary, frighteningly so.
But I didn't expect it to be this high.
A mighty warrior, having achieved great skill in the art of wielding a spear, was effortlessly defeated with a single glance from a simple twig.
What concept is this
Overwhelmed with shock, Su Qinghong seized the opportunity and immediately stepped forward to "practice" with Su Xin.
These days, Su Xin would spar with the younger generation of the Su family on this training ground every day. After each sparring session, Su Xin would offer his insights and guidance.
Under Su Xin's guidance, this is extremely rare.
In just a few days, many disciples had greatly improved their skills under Su Xin's guidance. Even Su Qinghong himself had been guided by Su Xin 'three times'. After each guidance, he would go back and study it carefully, and he found his swordsmanship to be increasingly refined.
He wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
More than half an hour later, there were still many Su family members gathered in the martial arts arena.
At this time...
"Su Xin!"
The white tiger appeared near the outskirts of the martial arts arena.
Upon seeing Su Baihu arrive, Su Xin's heart stirred. He stopped his "sparring" and walked to Su Baihu's face.
"I just received news from Tianshui City. The Grand Elder lost in his battle with Zhao Tianlei. Now, Zhao Tianlei completely controls all of the Su family's assets in Tianshui City. After making all the arrangements, he has already left."
When he left Tianshui City, he specially prepared a coffin to hold Zhao Ling's body. The coffin was carried by a carriage, and he and the people around him were all dressed in mourning clothes. According to the route, they would be able to return to their family in three days.
"Three days later, huh" Su Xin narrowed his eyes. "Thank you, Second Uncle.
"Don't worry too much, after all, the Su family still listens to me. Besides, with Big Brother around, Zhao Tianlei can't touch you, Su Baohǔ."
"Mmm, Su Xin nodded slightly."
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Su Xin's eyes suddenly flashed with unprecedented murderous intent.
"...dressed in mourning clothes, carrying a coffin..."
"Zhao Tianlei, do you want to return to the Su family and pay homage to Zhao Ling in front of all the Su family members"
But... can you come back!
…… her eyebrows slightly, but didn't think much of it.That blood-red stone bead was of extraordinary importance to him. The owner of the black dragon, Emperor Thirteen, had given it to him; it was indee...
