Chapter 804 Hey, Old Yan, your sword doesn't want you anymore!
In an instant, the entire East China Sea was in turmoil. Even people far away on the coast of the Baiyue region saw that laser beam, comparable to the first light of dawn.
"What the hell? It's already dawn?" Zhao Lianping woke up immediately upon hearing the commotion on the deck. He grumbled as he climbed onto the deck. He was already seasick and feeling unwell, and hadn't been able to sleep well at night. "Does this mean that when Lord Li and Lady Su return tomorrow, they won't even have the strength to do any work?"
"Old Zhao, stop complaining and come take a look!"
Upon seeing Zhao Lianping emerge from the cabin, Yan Chengying greeted him. He and Cheng Lingshuang were the first to know about it. Actually, he mainly wanted to ask Cheng Lingshuang about things inside Mount Taixu. After all, both Su Mei and Cheng Lingshuang were top disciples from Mount Taixu, and each of them could be considered a top expert.
However, neither of them had any reputation in the martial arts world. Even Li Ming's title of "Li Huo Sword" was only made during the Red Dragon Gang incident, which was enough to make many people avoid him. So this is why no one has bothered with Yan Chengying and his gang. The same is true for Yan Shilu, the leader of the Holy Fire Sect, who caused such a huge uproar before.
If it weren't for the fact that Immortal Chiyuan brought his esteemed disciple down the mountain, along with experts like Li Meng'an (the Green Wood Daoist) from Ziyang Mountain and Cui Yuanpeng (the Sea of Hatred), who would have been witnesses, it would be a different story. However, it should be noted that both Li Meng'an and Cui Yuanpeng went there under the guise of attending the Sacred Flame Assembly.
Immortal Chi Yuan, along with his esteemed disciple Lin Chaoyu, known as "Light Dust Sword," used the phrase "descending the mountain to eliminate demons" to label the Holy Fire Sect, which had slaughtered three sects, as a demonic sect.
If this hadn't happened, Yan Shilu, who was known as "the second best in the world," might have become the holy religion of China for the past hundred years. After all, it's not uncommon in history for a respected person to remain hidden; in fact, it's quite a common occurrence.
"It's my martial uncle's aura." Cheng Ling Shuang sensed it for a while before opening her eyes.
Zhao Lianping, who had just arrived, stared blankly at the two of them. What was that? Lord Li's aura? And why was the sun already in the sky at midnight? That couldn't be right. Could it be that Lord Li had really found that evil dragon?
However, to Yan Chengying, this was nothing short of a horror story. No, it was one thing for Li Ming to be able to fight against a thousand soldiers, but was this strange phenomenon that looked like dawn also created by Li Ming?
"Miss Cheng..."
"Hmm?" Hearing Yan Chengying call her name, Cheng Ling Shuang turned around to look at him expressionlessly. "What's wrong?"
"Does your Taixu Mountain still accept disciples?"
Yan Chengying wondered if he had the chance to become a disciple of Taixu Mountain, would he no longer have to be the Earl of Du, who couldn't even defeat Qin Baijiang?
These words made Cheng Ling Shuang look at it seriously for a moment, then she shook her head and looked at the broken sword that Yan Cheng Ying was protecting closely. It was clearly broken, but the aura it emitted was still unbearable for Yan Cheng Ying. "Not good enough. You can't even withstand the sword that your master gave you, let alone cultivate the Tai Xu Sword Technique."
Reaching out from behind Yan Chengying, Yan Chengying instinctively dodged, but only felt a fragrant breeze, and then felt a lightness on his body as Cheng Ling Shuang grasped his broken sword in her hand.
What shocked him was that his broken sword was in Cheng Ling Shuang's hand. He had been worried that the demonic sword would hurt people, but to his surprise, the gems embedded in the hilt of the sword were just like those in Qin Bai Jiang's hand.
The sword seemed to come alive, with white scales appearing on the edge of the blade, perhaps because Qin Baijiang had used it. At the same time, under Cheng Ling Shuang's control, the sword was unusually docile.
Cheng Ling Shuang simply lowered the broken sword's notch to the ground, and the teak deck was instantly cut open, which surprised Yan Cheng Ying.
"Hey, Lao Yan, your sword doesn't want you anymore!"
Zhao Lianping felt incredibly impressed. Indeed, he was worthy of being Li Ming's nephew. Li Ming gave Yan Chengying the greatsword, and his nephew could use it whenever he wanted.
"Thank you, just shut up!"
That heartless Zhao Lianping doesn't even know how to comfort himself. He has to bring up the most sensitive topic. He clearly knows that Qin Baijiang took his greatsword away last time, and then Li Ming smashed it with his fist, making him look incredibly humiliated.
However, upon hearing Zhao Lianping's words, Cheng Ling Shuang realized something. She expressionlessly released her grip, and the broken greatsword plunged directly into the deck with a snap, as easily as a hot knife cutting through butter.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Cheng Ling Shuang thought for a moment, wondering if she should apologize at this time. It seemed that her martial uncle would usually apologize and then give her some guidance. So she composed herself and smiled slightly. "But don't worry, your martial uncle's method of suppression can indeed give you a chance to master this sword, although joining Taixu Mountain is not an option."
Looking at Cheng Ling Shuang's usually indifferent face, a strange smile suddenly appeared. No, what does Lady Cheng mean by this? Does she mean that she has no hope in martial arts, but Lord Li has a way to help her master this demonic sword?
"..." Yan Chengying shook off the wild thoughts in his mind, drew his broken sword, looked at the broken sword that had been restored to its original state in his hand, and gave a wry smile, "Thank you for Miss Cheng's good wishes."
"Hmm..." Cheng Ling Shuang nodded. Her martial uncle's approach was indeed correct. However, she still glanced at Yan Cheng Ying again. "Why do you call Senior Sister Su 'Heroine Su'?"
"Uh..." Yan Chengying was immediately embarrassed, because Su Mei had organized the remaining people of the Li's Escort Agency and formed [Peerless], and Cheng Ling Shuang was just a seemingly warm-hearted girl, so he was naturally used to calling her that.
Moreover, he was only twenty years old, a young man who had already made a name for himself at a young age, won military merits, and become a general. Before he could even get married, he was tricked by Qin Baijiang and suffered a setback.
Both Su Mei and Cheng Ling Shuang are so outstanding that they are naturally sought after by gentlemen. However, it seems that Lord Li is quite strict with his junior apprentice, so Yan Chengying can only watch from the sidelines.
This is normal, though. Su Mei always tells Li Ming that she would be considered a young, unmarried woman in an ordinary family, but Li Ming still treats them like little kids.
"Hmm, is your nose itchy?"
After shooting the dragon away with a laser cannon, Li Ming fell into the water. Fortunately, he switched to [Ice Yama - Other Shore] in time, otherwise he wouldn't even have the ability to move at sea.
However, after looking around, he discovered that Su Mei, that silly child, was almost being dragged into the water because she was clinging tightly to her [Sunfire Greatsword]. Luckily, he noticed her.
He pulled Su Mei out of the water and carried her on his back. Su Mei, who had choked on a lot of water, coughed repeatedly. She opened her eyes groggily and felt a warm sensation on her back. "Cough cough... Uncle-Master, where is the dragon?"
“We can’t beat it at sea, but I shot it away with one shot. It’ll probably take a long time to fly back. Let’s go first and talk about it again tomorrow when we get back to shore.”
"Okay..." Although her sword heart had broken through, Su Mei was still weak. This tone made Li Ming a little worried, and he increased his gliding speed.
