Kapitel 156: 156. Jiangyang Was Shocked
Jiangyang City, the largest city in the Middle State of Great Chang, was virtually the core of the entire Middle State. Lin Fei's first stop was here.
Lin Fei sat at a wooden table in a tavern, observing the diverse crowd of customers, servers, and the owner. Everything seemed ordinary. However, when Lin Fei glanced at the food on the table, his expression became even colder.
"The world of martial arts is not just about martial skills. There are also schemes! I intend to solve matters with martial arts, but there are those who resort to schemes."
Lin Fei's tone was calm, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice. The food on the table was poisoned!
This was the first time Lin Fei encountered such a situation. Throughout his journey in the martial world, whether he encountered Qi cultivators or martial artists, Lin Fei had never faced someone attempting to poison him.
But now, as he sought the title of "Number One Saber Under Heaven" and attracted saber cultivators from around the world, he encountered a nefarious tactic he had never seen before at his first stop in the martial world.
Poison!
This poison was colorless and tasteless. However, Lin Fei's perception was incredibly strong. As a result, when these people quietly poisoned the food, he already knew.
Since they dared to poison him, it meant that the poison could affect innate martial artists and even potentially kill them. It was a formidable poison!
"Come out, all of you! These tricks are not worth mentioning!" Lin Fei rebuked in a low voice.
With a "whoosh", the expressions of those who were just ordinary pedestrians, servers, and the owner drastically changed. They all stood up, pulling out weapons from their bodies, and stared at Lin Fei.
These people, totaling dozens, were all martial artists! At this moment, they all looked at Lin Fei with fear. Their attempt to poison him had failed.
"Immortal Slayer Saber," one of them began, "We all know you are formidable, your saber can slay immortals. Even the three saber masters of Chang City are no match for your saber. However, your Heavenly Meridian Pill is too tempting. For the sake of the Heavenly Meridian Pill, we can only take risks!"
Lin Fei understood. The Heavenly Meridian Pill! He had underestimated the allure of the Heavenly Meridian Pill for acquired martial artists. Or perhaps he had underestimated human nature.
Lin Fei lifted his head, looking at these martial artists, and said calmly, "I came to martial worlds to meet the saber cultivators of Jiangyang and confirm the saber techniques. I haven't killed anyone in Jiangyang, but you want to poison me. As matters of the martial world, they should be resolved in the martial world. You should be killed!"
At this moment, Lin Fei's intent to kill was evident. Since they had attempted to poison him, Lin Fei would not be polite. After all, the martial world was never devoid of killing.
In the next moment, Lin Fei flicked his finger.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh".
Immediately, strands of saber energy burst out from his body and flew towards these dozens of martial artists.
To deal with these martial artists, Lin Fei didn't even need to use any saber techniques, let alone his saber intent. Just his saber energy was enough.
The strands of saber energy moved incredibly fast. With just a slight flash, they were instantly in front of these martial artists.
"Pfff".
"Crack".
The saber energy instantly cut off the weapons of the martial artists and entered their bodies. No one could block Lin Fei's strand of saber energy. Therefore, within a short time, dozens of bodies fell on the floor of the tavern.
Lin Fei stood up and left the tavern. Among these martial artists, there was not even a single one who had perfected saber techniques. Clearly, they were hardly considered saber cultivators. Even if they were saber cultivators, they were very ordinary ones. They didn't come to challenge Lin Fei in a saber duel but for the Heavenly Meridian Pill.
Leaving the tavern, Lin Fei came to the lake and saw an old man with a bamboo hat. The old man was holding an iron hammer and seemed to be hitting a rusty saber.
The saber was very old and dull. It was repeatedly hammered by the old man, but it remained dull without any edge. Lin Fei quietly watched the old man continuously hammering the dull saber. After a long time, Lin Fei finally spoke, "Your saber is dull, it can't be sharpened anymore!"
"Yes, my saber hasn't been used for forty years." The old man replied. "Only today, did I dig it up from the ground again. I may not care about profit, but in the end, I can't escape the word 'fame'."
The old man looked up, his eyes were sharp as a saber, "'Immortal Slayer Saber' Master Lin, if you want to become the Number One Saber Under Heaven, and you chose Jiangyang as your first stop, then I had no choice but to come out of retirement. I'm Li Sandao of Jiangyang."
Lin Fei's eyes remained calm. He had never heard of this old man, but he could guess that he was a senior figure in the martial arts world of Jiangyang, especially among saber cultivators. This old man had retired his saber for forty years but had now returned because of him.
"I'm Lin Fei from Nine Profound Sect," Lin Fei responded.
"Aren't you drawing your saber?" Li Sandao asked.
Lin Fei remained silent.
Li Sandao gently held the hilt of the rusty saber, as if talking to himself, "Sealed for forty years, old friend, I am holding you again! Forty years ago, the martial world called me 'Three Sabers' because I had three unique saber techniques. But after sealing my saber for forty years, I've condensed those three into one. 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Master Lin, do you dare to receive one saber strike from this old man?"
"Senior, please draw your saber," Lin Fei said calmly.
"Very well!"
"Swish."
The next moment, the old man made his move.
Previously, the old man didn't have any noticeable fluctuations of True Qi or inner power. Even Lin Fei couldn't tell whether the old man was an acquired martial artist or an innate martial artist.
But now, as the old man made his move, a trace of True Qi fluctuation, although very subtle, was still detected by Lin Fei.
The old man in front of him was an innate master and even one step away from the realm of martial Grand Master.
"One saber!"
The old man's saber strike completely converged its sharpness, not even much True Qi erupted. Only when it was in front of Lin Fei did the innate True Qi explode instantly.
This was the old man's all-out strike, his strongest saber! This one saber, even if it was a martial Grand Master, the old man felt, perhaps would not be much different. However, Lin Fei just slightly shook his head, remaining unmoved.
The next moment, the old man's body shook. Following that, his whole body seemed to tremble. He held the hilt of the rusty saber tightly in his hand, but despite exerting all his strength, he seemed to be unable to control the saber.
At this moment, the old man looked horrified.
"Saber intent!"
The old man's eyes widened in shock, his heart filled with astonishment!
What a terrifying saber intent!
Although there were rumors in the martial world that Lin Fei, the "Immortal Slayer Saber", had a terrible saber energy that could cut through anything when he drew his saber, and the saber intent was also very powerful.
However, in the vast majority of cases, the Martial Dao True Intent could only play a supporting role in martial artists' battles. Li Sandao did not expect that simply unleashing the saber intent would render him unable to control his own blade against Lin Fei.
Lin Fei looked calm, looked at the old man, and said lightly, "Senior, you lost. You sealed your saber for forty years, but you didn't comprehend saber intent. It doesn't matter if you condensed three sabers into one. Even if you condensed thirty sabers into one, what use is it?
You've spent a lifetime studying saber techniques, but you don't know the true essence of saber arts. In front of me, you can't even draw your saber. This saber, you've wasted a lifetime practicing it!"
After finishing his words, Lin Fei stepped forward. After a few leaps, he disappeared without a trace.
"I... I've wasted a lifetime practicing this saber..."
The old man's face turned pale. Then, it seemed like he realized something.
"Yes, I've wasted a lifetime practicing this saber. Hahaha, this saber, I don't need it!"
The old man grabbed his saber and threw it hard. With a "plop" sound, the rusty old saber instantly sank into the bottom of the lake. Without looking back, the old man strode away.
Lin Fei, the "Immortal Slayer Saber", descended from Chang City along the river to Jiangyang.
In three days in Jiangyang, he defeated five saber technique masters. All the saber masters in Jiangyang surrendered and willingly respected Lin Fei as the Number One Saber Under Heaven.
When the news spread out, Jiangyang was shocked!
