My Sword Has a Way

Chapter 53: The Beginning of a New World and the Beginning of Chaos

The sun rises, and another spring comes.

The young man got up from the ground, put away the bedding beside the stove, opened the door carefully, and a black shadow quickly rushed into the distance.

Looking at the boundless white light covering the sky and earth, Xu Zhian's lips curled up slightly.

The young man looked at the sleeping girl on the bed and called softly, "Miss Jiang?"

The girl closed her eyes and moved her lips slightly: "Yes."

The young man smiled shyly and said, "Today is the first day of the lunar year, I can't sleep in."

The girl curled her lips and said, "You're so long-winded."

Then he turned slightly to the side of the bed, and slowly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. With a bitter smile, he walked to the wooden rack, picked up the couplet he had just written last night, and walked out the door.

Xu Zhian pasted the couplet carefully. At this time, a dog barking was heard in the distance. The young man looked up and saw a young man in the snow, carrying a wooden sword on his back, walking slowly towards him in the wind and snow.

When the young man approached, Xu Zhian smiled and said, "Good morning, are you here to wish us a happy new year?"

The young man smiled bitterly: "Shouldn't you be the one wishing me a happy new year?"

The young man smiled woodenly: "It's not too late yet."

The young man looked at the couplet on the gate and said jokingly, "Xu Zhian, Xu Zhian, you really don't treat me as a friend. You didn't even ask me to get married. Are you so afraid that I will drink your good wine?"

Xu Zhian frowned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by marriage?"

The young man smiled and shook his head after hearing this. He then looked towards the house in the courtyard and said, "Fools have good fortunes. It seems that you are really blessed with a beautiful girl. You have a promising future."

Xu Zhian frowned even more tightly: "Lin Jianyi, just say what you want to say. I don't like beating around the bush."

The young man immediately stopped playing around and said seriously, "Forget it. Let me ask you, do you still remember the condition you promised me?"

Although the boy was a little confused, he nodded. The young man continued, "Just remember it! I hope we can still be friends when we meet again."

The boy asked curiously, "What's wrong with you today?"

The young man smiled faintly and said, "There has been some unrest outside the town recently. Since you have chosen to stay, you should practice sword skills here. As the end of the Jiazi year has passed, there has been some chaos outside."

After the young man finished speaking, he smiled faintly: "Can I, Lin Jianyi, ask you for a pot of spring thunder?"

The young man hesitated for a moment and handed the jar of spring thunder to the young man. Lin Jianyi was not polite and took the jar and walked towards the top of the cliff, chanting as he walked: "The world is vast and the wind follows the snow. A jar of spring thunder strengthens my journey. Ask the immortals in the sky. A sword goes straight into the Jade Emperor's Court. Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Xu Zhian looked at Lin Jianyi walking up the mountain in a very free and easy manner, and was stunned for a moment, as if the young man with a sword on his back who was walking away was ascending to heaven.

The boy withdrew his gaze, called back the black dog that was paddling in the distance, and returned to the house.

Now Xu Zhian has completely let go of his mind and comprehended Jianya's sword energy. He will no longer encounter the previous obstacles.

Today, the young man did not go to the top of the Sword Cliff again. One reason was that Xu Zhian no longer pursued the tempering of his body. At this moment, the strength of his body had already reached the limit of the tempering of the Sword Cliff. If he wanted to make further progress, he could only jump into the Sword Cliff and be tempered by the origin of sword energy. Otherwise, there would not be much difference between the top of the cliff and the wooden house.

The young man took out the black sword from the house, came to the open space in front of the courtyard gate, and began his usual practice and further improvement of his sword energy.

Daliang State, Longyang City.

Following the city-wide dancing last night, today in Longyang City, firecrackers continued from midnight until almost noon.

At this time, Baihu Street was extremely lively. The densely packed crowd seemed to be looking at one place, pointing and talking.

A woman asked the old woman next to her: "Auntie, there are so many people blocking the way, can you see it?"

The old woman laughed and said excitedly, "I heard from my daughter-in-law that the White Tiger Street today is going to ask the relatives of the demon slayer. I was inspired and came to take a look."

After hearing this, the woman agreed: "Who says it's not? I heard that many of them are women, children, the elderly and the young. They are really pitiful."

The old woman said seriously, "Pitiable? Humph! I've heard that when the demon master was in power, he killed many innocent people and turned all the tribe members into creatures that were neither human nor demon. I don't think they are pitiful at all!"

Seeing the old woman next to her looking a little angry, the woman nodded repeatedly, fearing that she would make the old woman angry again.

At this time, a gong sounded, and at the end of the street, a team of heavy cavalry in black armor led the way, followed by dozens of prison carriages, which was particularly eye-catching.

All of a sudden, the onlookers shouted loudly: Execute the evildoer to set the world right!

In an alley, two figures wearing bamboo hats stood quietly among the crowd.

One of the young men had a look of pain on his face and clenched his fists. Listening to the roars like a tsunami, an extremely negative seed was planted deep in the boy's heart.

The old man in black at the side whispered, "Young Master, let's leave quickly. I always feel like I'm being watched."

The young man looked at his mother, sister, and clan members in the prison car. At this moment, they were like zombies, with dull eyes and expressions.

The young man whispered in his heart: "Mom, little sister, one day, I will let these people be buried with you!"

"Young Master, it's time for us to go!"

The old man reminded again.

The boy nodded, turned around, and followed the old man into the alley.

In a loft not far away, a young man in a green python robe said to the middle-aged man beside him: "Brother, are they here?"

The middle-aged man stood up and smiled: "They are here."

The young man said excitedly: "In that case, I will go and meet this young man who can be called a genius by my senior brother."

After saying that, he went downstairs with the middle-aged man.

At this time, at the west gate of Longyang City, two men in black wearing conical hats were walking slowly on the deserted street.

Today is the first day of the new year, and the city, which should have been extremely bustling, is eerily quiet.

"It seems that we have been discovered by them." The old man at the side smiled calmly, without any sense of crisis or surprise of being discovered.

The young man in black frowned and asked the old man beside him, "Grandpa Qin, how many people are there?"

The old man in black smiled faintly: "I don't know, maybe one person, or maybe many."

The young man had a smile on his face, and there seemed to be an evil aura surrounding his face, making him look extremely ferocious.

"Then let's collect some interest first."

The old man in black at the side saw that the young man had a sinister and ferocious expression, so he smiled evilly, so secretly that even the young man who was so close to him could not notice anything unusual.

The old man looked at the city gate and shouted calmly, "You guys are here really fast."
