Martial Arts Showdown: My Wife Asked Me to Be the Champion

Chapter 46 The Dragon-Slaying Saber, can it really slay dragons?

Listening to Snow Pavilion.

Yang Yan sent the stewards away to the study to settle accounts. Unable to contain her excitement any longer, she hugged Xu Qingya tightly and leaned against him.

Not to be outdone, Qin Nanqin nestled against Xu Qingya's other side. The three of them said nothing, but it spoke louder than a thousand words. Why bother with any more nonsense?

Doubao and Tangdun stared at each other boredly.

Previously, in order to dress up as "Young Master Xiao", Xu Qingya did not bring them with him and left them to mooch meals at Tingxuelou. Now that he has just returned home, he immediately embraces his beauty.

Doubao: I think I've fallen out of favor!

Tangdun'er: In less than half a month, I, the newcomer, have become an old-timer! We two are really unlucky!

Looking at the beauty in his arms, Xu Qingya couldn't help but feel a surge of desire. He had been consuming ginseng in Liaodong for over ten years, accumulating a fiery temper. How could he possibly restrain himself now?

Yang Yan blushed as her hands slid down involuntarily, Qin Nanqin felt weak all over, and Doubao'er and Tangdun'er pushed open the door and stood guard at the gate.

Yang Yan breathed softly, "My lord~~"

Qin Nanqin's eyes were alluring: "Young Master~~"

Just as the three were losing control, there was a knock on the door. Yin Susu shouted, "Xu Qingya, don't hide inside and stay silent! Open the door now!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Susu pushed open the door and entered.

"It seems I've come at the wrong time and have disturbed Young Master Xu's good time. No, if I remember correctly, Fairy Jinghong's fiancé is Young Master Xiao!"

Why aren't you going to find your "young master"? Why are you bothering with Young Master Xu? Are you perhaps being unfaithful to your wife?

Yo~~

This is truly eye-opening!

Yin Susu's words were full of twists and turns, taking her sarcastic and unsettling tone to the extreme, especially the "yo," whose melody was so convoluted that it infuriated everyone.

Yang Yan gave Qin Nanqin a wink.

Qin Nanqin sneered, "Miss Yin, you've certainly come at the wrong time. Young Master Xu's arms are already occupied by me and Miss, so you probably won't get a spot!"

Yin Susu stepped forward domineeringly: "Since there's no room on either side, I'll just take the middle!"

As she spoke, she lay down directly in Xu Qingya's arms, but then, feeling it wasn't passionate or bold enough, she raised her head and gave Xu Qingya a light kiss on the lips, looking at the two of them provocatively.

Yang Yan is a well-bred young lady and is quite reserved, while Qin Nanqin is somewhat of a girl from a modest family. Although she is very bold, she pales in comparison to Yin Susu.

Yin Susu was the most cunning of all witches. If she hadn't been unable to defeat Xu Qingya, she would have already put him in a sack in the middle of the night.

If she sets her sights on someone, she'll just snatch them away. Yin Susu isn't going to go through the motions of waiting for the mountains to crumble and the rivers to run dry. In the time it takes to flirt, she's already had three or four children!

Yang Yan threw the embroidered ball (bamboo pole) from the second floor, while Yin Susu really would use a club to ambush someone in the middle of the night.

Just as the three were about to fight, there was another knock on the door... Actually, there was no need to knock, as the door was already open. However, this time the person who came was more polite and gently knocked on the door frame.

Beitang Xin'er ran over happily: "Are you playing a game? Senior brother is so charming! He can make so many beauties fight over you."

Xu Qingya's expression changed from smugness to surprise, and from surprise to terror. He prayed in his heart that Liu Qingci would not come, otherwise he feared he would go from being a handsome man to a ruthless one: from having women on his left and right to being torn apart by five horses.

Xu Qingya's prayers were of no use; to be precise, they only produced some kind of side effect.

Before his prayers could even end, Liu Qingci swaggered over, his long legs swaying: "Xu Qingya! So you really don't have the Dragon-Slaying Saber! Come with me to the auction for it!"

Liu Qingci was not interested in the conflict between Liufenbantang and Linglongge, nor did he care about "Young Master Xiao". He only heard that the Dragon Slayer Saber had appeared at the auction in the capital and wanted to see the excitement, so he invited Xu Qingya to go with him.

As soon as I entered, I saw...

Liu Qingci's fair and jade-like face turned bright red in an instant due to the surge of hot blood. He stepped forward and forcefully pulled at Qin Nanqin with his left hand and Yin Susu with his right. He activated his Tiger Subduing Divine Power, threw the two aside, grabbed Xu Qingya, and pressed him into a chair.

The farce has now come to a temporary end!

Yang Yan straightened her clothes and said softly, "Now that everyone is here, let's talk about business."

Yin Susu sneered: "Serious business, aren't we talking about serious business now? Look at Qingya, his face is almost as red as a dragon fruit. You lot are being reserved, but I don't care about such formalities. You lot, get out of here!"

Beitang Xin'er delivered a gentle blow: "What kind of person is Senior Brother? How could he not resist the allure of women? It seems that you have overexerted yourself, causing your blood and qi to surge and your malevolent energy to overflow. You need to meditate to recover your energy, guide your qi back to its origin, and stabilize your blood and qi."

If one disperses their vital energy, at best it will lead to a deficiency of vital energy and a significant loss of power; at worst it will damage the internal organs and may even attract malevolent energy into the brain, causing the emergence of a demonic personality.

Qin Nanqin chimed in, "That's right! Some people only care about their own pleasure and don't care about the safety of others!"

Yin Susu scoffed, "Well said! I wonder for whom Qingya fights to the death? For whom his blood boils? For whom his murderous aura overflows? Is it all for me?"

And what about this evil energy entering the brain and demonic thoughts/personality? Have you ever been possessed by a demon? How do you know that? Even if you were possessed, so what? You'd be a perfect match for a demonic sorceress like me!

Liu Qingci, what are you doing!

Put Qingya down right now!

Do you want to eat it all by yourself?

However, while the women were bickering, Liu Qingci picked up Xu Qingya and carried him on his back. Before they even reached the door, Yin Susu noticed and could only put him down with an embarrassed smile.

Xu Qingya sighed, using the chilling aura of the Ice Jade Blade to calm his blood and qi, and changed the subject: "I'm fine! Let's talk about Hua Baifeng first; she's clearly up to no good!"

Beitang Xin'er said, "Senior brother, I have heard a little about Hua Baifeng. She studied esoteric arts under the old man on the frontier and was considered a disciple. Among the younger generation of geniuses in the Western Regions, Hua Baifeng can be ranked in the top five."

Liu Qingci asked, "Who is number one?"

Beitang Xin'er shrugged: "Of course, it's Ouyang Mingri, the personal disciple of the old man from the frontier!"

Yin Susu asked, "The Hua family of Jiangnan is the largest real estate developer in the Central Plains, and also a royal merchant family, incredibly wealthy. The Tianying Sect has many business dealings with the Hua family, but I've never heard of Hua Baifeng. Could he be an imposter?"

Yang Yan waved her hand: "It should be true! Hua Ruling, the head of the Hua family, has two younger brothers and one younger sister. Hua Baifeng is the daughter of Hua Ruling's younger sister, Hua Rushuang. According to seniority, she is Hua Ruling's niece."

Hua Baifeng was frail and sickly from childhood, and despite years of seeking medical help, nothing worked. In desperation, she had no choice but to seek assistance from the legendary old man of the Western Regions. As for the old man who stole the Dragon-Slaying Saber, it should be Gu Mutian!

Liu Qingci, adept at playing the straight man, said, "Yang Yan, you can't just say half of what you mean! Who is Gu Mutian?"

Qin Nanqin explained: "Thirty years ago, the number one demon in the Western Regions slaughtered the entire martial arts world of the Western Regions, leaving rivers of blood. Later, he reformed and devoted himself to studying forging techniques, creating a pair of divine weapons."

A precious sword, named: Dragon Soul;

A precious sword, named: Phoenix Blood;

Gu Mutian had no children, so he treated the Dragon Soul and Phoenix Blood as his own children. The name "Dragon Slayer Blade" greatly offended him, so he would definitely examine it several times to see if it could slay dragons and serpents.

Given Gu Mutian's personality, the only thing he would care about is the name of the Dragon-Slaying Saber. He wouldn't care about anything else, such as the supreme martial arts weapon or the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

After playing with it for two months, he discovered that the Dragon Slayer Saber was just a large, heavy, black cleaver. Letting the younger generation dispose of it at will was also in line with Gu Mutian's personality.

Hua Baifeng's arrival was somewhat coincidental, but I think everyone is overthinking it. Although the Dragon Slayer Saber is famous, it may not have an advantage compared to other divine weapons such as Blood River Red Sleeve, Should Not Be Retained, Dragon Soul Phoenix Blood, and Heaven-Slaying Green Gang.

The only question is, where did the Dragon-Slaying Saber come from? Did it perhaps fall from the sky?

Liu Qingci whispered, "At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people were suffering. The Great Teacher of Virtue called on the people to rise up in rebellion. Just then, a meteorite fell from the sky, containing extraterrestrial meteorite iron. So, the meteorite iron was used to forge a Dragon-Slaying Sword and a Dragon-Slaying Saber."

As a member of the Liu family, it was indeed inconvenient to say this out loud. Liu Qingci continued, "Zhang Jiao severed the dragon vein of the imperial mausoleum with the Dragon-Slaying Sword. Fortunately, Emperor Guangwu left a backup plan in the mausoleum before his death."

Emperor Guangwu had twenty-eight generals under his command, collectively known as the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai. They fought for many years, and their weapons were imbued with the aura of the true dragon, becoming divine weapons.

When Emperor Guangwu was building his mausoleum, he ordered people to arrange the statues of the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai into a star array and to enshrine twenty-eight divine weapons in order to protect the dragon vein.

After the dragon vein was severed, the spiritual energy of the twenty-eight divine weapons scattered out and became known as "Fragments of Radiant Weapons". When integrated into the weapons, they could evolve into different powers.

This weapon is known as the "Guangwu Divine Weapon".

Each of the Five Tiger Generals possessed a divine weapon.

Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Eighteen-Foot Serpent Spear, Cliff-Corner Spear, Silver Lion Helmet, Qilin Bow.

In addition, Zhuge Liang's Vermilion Bird Feather Fan, Pang Tong's Linked Iron Chains, Lü Bu's Halberd, and Sun Jian's Ancient Sword are also among the divine weapons of Guangwu.

Xu Qingya joked, "So... does the Dragon-Slaying Saber mean that if the target is royalty, the power of its blade's strikes doubles? And against a tyrant, it's ten times stronger?"

Yin Susu said, "What a coincidence! If the Dragon-Slaying Saber had appeared a few years earlier, and someone had used it to assassinate the emperor, even the Heavenly King himself wouldn't have been able to stop them!"

Liu Qingci ignored Yin Susu and skipped the topic. To put it bluntly, if Xu Qingya had traveled back ten years earlier and faced the late emperor, the next plot would definitely have been a rebellion, leading his troops to sweep across the world.

Time travelers are not omnipotent. Xu Qingya may not be able to learn the art of commanding troops and governing a country, but he can find talented people to assist him, or he can emulate Zhuan Zhu, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Saber to assassinate the tyrannical emperor and cut off his dog's head.

Liu Qingci sighed, "The Dragon-Slaying Sword was shattered by the fragments of Emperor Guangwu in the imperial tomb. Before his death, Zhang Jiao wrote down all his knowledge in three volumes of heavenly books and hid the secrets of the heavenly books inside the Dragon-Slaying Sword, hoping that future generations would rise again."

The royal family originally wanted to destroy the Dragon-Slaying Saber, but every time the Dragon-Slaying Saber appeared in the world, it would cause conflict and disappear quickly after a bloody massacre, leaving no trace.

My older sister... she's very strong-willed!

She didn't believe the rumors about the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

My sister thinks that the Dragon Slayer Saber is just a weapon, and no matter what secrets it holds, it is still just a weapon.

Just watch the auction for fun!

Who knows who might be implicated!

This is fucking a pain!
