C670 One Sword
Xu Cun nodded slightly. "Yao Bin, Yunque and Haitang are all rare Sword Spirits."
"Unfortunately, they came into contact with the sword too late. If it were another twenty years, their cultivation might be on par with mine."
"But we don't have that much time now. At this time next year, we can only fight the Sword Demon in the river."
Yang Xuan asked again, "What does Skylark and Haitang have to do with you?"
Xu Cun's eyes flashed with tenderness. "I think you should have guessed that they are my twin daughters."
"At that time, due to some irresistible reasons, I could only bear with the pain and abandon them at the entrance of the orphanage."
"All these years, I've been thinking about them. I even thought that they were already dead."
"But luckily, when I finally found the two of them, I found that they were living very well."
"Furthermore, you actually discovered their Sword Spirit constitution and made them start practicing their sword techniques. I'm especially gratified about this."
After Yang Xuan heard this, he secretly felt lucky in his heart. He thought that it was fortunate that he did not have any bad intentions towards the two girls. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would not even know how he died.
"Then why don't you recognize them? Then, you will personally guide them in their sword practice?"
Yang Xuan asked in puzzlement.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Xu Cun's eyes, and she said with a bitter smile, "Even in my dreams, I want to know them. That kind of family is right in front of me, but the pain of not being able to recognize them, you won't be able to care about it."
"However, there are some things that I can't say for now. If I were to meet them now, it would certainly bring about a catastrophe."
"Yang Xuan!"
Xu Cun suddenly turned her head. "You must treat my daughter well. I know you mean well and want them to live a normal life."
"But you must not do that. Their destinies were destined from the moment they were born. Only by constantly practicing the sword and getting stronger could they avoid the disaster that was destined to happen!"
Yang Xuan frowned and did not ask any more questions. He said, "I have always treated them as my own sisters. However, I am very curious. If you want to give them pointers, even if you don't meet them, there are many ways to do so."
"Why have you always..."
This time, without waiting for Xu Cun to speak, Yao Bin said, "That's because Master doesn't want them to be restricted by the framework."
"If you want to reach the peak of swordsmanship, you must not have any restrictions. Everyone's understanding of swords is different. They can only comprehend it bit by bit."
"Those that can be taught to them have already been taught. Next, they can only rely on themselves."
Yang Xuan took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. "I'm not a Sword Spirit, so I might never be able to experience this feeling. You guys can say whatever you want."
After saying that, he turned his head to Xu Cun and said, "Sister Xu, I've always treated Yunque Haitang as my younger sister. So, regardless of whether you greet or not, I'll take good care of the two of them."
"Also, it doesn't matter whether you're from the Hidden Dragon Clan or you don't recognize your own daughter for some reason. This is your private matter, and I have no right to ask. It's just..."
As he spoke, Yang Xuan thought for a moment and bowed slightly. "It's just that you want me to help you deal with the Sword Demon. I'm afraid I can't help you."
"I'm just an ordinary person now. I have my own home and a wife who loves me very much. My greatest dream is to protect my wife and live a peaceful life in this lifetime."
"So regarding the matter of the Sword Demon, please forgive me for not being able to help you if I love you..."
"You have no other choice!"
Xu Cun looked at Yang Xuan and interrupted, "Asking you to help me deal with the Sword Demon is not a request, but an order!"
Hearing this, Yang Xuan's face instantly darkened, "Senior Sword Saint, you have observed me for so long. You should know that I am not a person who likes to be threatened!"
Xu Cun laughed coldly, "Of course I know that. I reckon that there is no one in this world who can threaten Champion Marquis."
"But it was different back then because you have something to worry about now."
"I'm not a Great Saint to begin with, so if you refuse me, I can't guarantee your wife's life."
Bam!
Yang Xuan suddenly slammed his palm on the table and said angrily, "I don't care who you are. If you dare to touch a hair on Su Nan's head, I will not rest until you die!"
"I know you are very powerful. I am not a match for you, but do you think you are a match for the A Hundred Thousand Profound Army Soldiers behind me?!"
Xu Cun was not angry. Instead, she smiled faintly and said, "The prestige of the Profound Army Soldier has shaken the world. With the Longsword in my hand, I am naturally not a match for them."
"But if you don't help me, I will also die under the hands of the Sword Demon. No matter what, the outcome will be the same. So I won't have any misgivings."
"Give me an answer now. If possible, we will meet again in a year's time."
"If it doesn't work, then immediately let your A Hundred Thousand Profound Army Soldiers hunt me down. But before they come, you have to hold a funeral for your wife first."
Yang Xuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
If the Sword Saint really wanted to deal with Su Nan, Yang Xuan could not stop him at all!
Finally, Yang Xuan made a choice. "Okay, I promise you!"
For Su Nan, Yang Xuan was threatened for the first time in his life and chose to compromise.
"Okay, then we will meet again in a year."
"Yao Bin and I will leave Nanjiang soon. It won't be easy to defeat the Sword Demon, so I have to bring Yao Bin to other places to complete a lot of things."
"As for your side, even though your current martial arts cultivation is already very strong, it's still far from enough if you want to compete with the Sword Demon."
"So don't be idle during this year. Try your best to increase your cultivation base."
"The more powerful you are, the higher the chances of you winning will be. To express my gratitude, I will now demonstrate a sword technique for you."
"This set of sword technique is very simple, there is only one move. Watch carefully, I will only demonstrate it once. How much you can digest will be your problem!"
Clang!
After saying that, Xu Cun's wrist shook. The Longsword in her hand immediately turned into a streak of silver light.
As the Longsword left its sheath, the air in the room suddenly compressed, and even a gust of strong wind blew out of the window for no reason.
Buzz! Buzz!
The air was filled with the buzzing sound of the vibrating tip of the sword. The plants and plants in the community were all cut in half along with a series of whooshing sounds!
It was just a single slash!
Yang Xuan was stunned once again.
Such a realm was much higher than breaking a river with a single sword strike!
Although this sword technique was only a simple sword strike, it contained everything, and the profoundness hidden within it was innumerable!
Yang Xuan quickly closed his eyes, allowing every inch of his nerves to reach the most sensitive point.1
He tried his best to absorb the profoundness of Xu Cun's sword attack.
The movement of this sword attack was just a simple swing of the sword, but the true profundity was contained within the sword intent.
And the sword intent did not need eyes to see. It needed to be experienced with one's thoughts.
Ten minutes later, Yang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, a bright light instantly shot out from his eyes.
Clang!
The sound of a Longsword being unsheathed suddenly came from the air!
When Xu Cun saw this scene from the side, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed across her eyes!
