Chapter 322

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Zhangsheng's mass killing, seeing his disciple be so rude, he could not help but frown slightly and issue a reprimand.

"Master! But he clearly used his full strength, yet he still won't admit it..."

The young man wanted to argue, but under the middle-aged man's dissatisfied gaze, he could only remain silent.

"What 'won't admit it'!"

"Although he... his character isn't great?! But... but this was indeed just his casual strike!"

Seeing the young man's disdain, Wang Yuyan did not know why, but she blurted out an explanation for Li Zhangsheng.

"Really... just a casual strike?!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, not knowing what to say.

After all, if it really was just someone's casual strike, it would be hard to blame them... for the mass killing.

Perhaps the other party simply had not expected these swordsmen... to be so fragile!

Yet, at the same time, he could not help but silently become wary of Li Zhangsheng.

"I am Wuming! This is my disciple, Jian Chen!"

Thinking of this, Wuming regained his inner calm and said solemnly, "I wonder... who is this little brother?!"

He did not know what to call Li Zhangsheng, but seeing Li Zhangsheng so young, he assumed he was some old monster; yet in his perception, Li Zhangsheng's aura was filled with endless vitality, as if he truly... was not old.

Wuming hesitated for a moment, ultimately deciding to address him as 'little brother' for now.

"You are... Heavenly Sword Wuming?!"

"Heavenly Sword Wuming has actually come too?! Could it be for... the Peerless Good Sword?!"

"..."

Bu Jingyun, Duan Lang, and Ye Gucheng, though heavily injured, could not help but exclaim upon hearing the name Heavenly Sword Wuming.

Heavenly Sword Wuming!

The martial arts myth!

One of the supreme peaks of the sword path!

Decades ago, there were rumors that Heavenly Sword Wuming had retired and would no longer appear in the Jianghu.

Never did they expect that the appearance of the Peerless Good Sword this time would actually draw out the martial arts myth, Heavenly Sword Wuming?!

"Heavenly Sword Wuming?!"

"So you are that... Heavenly Sword Wuming who plays the erhu at full health and roams everywhere at low health?!"

Li Zhangsheng saw the erhu in his hand and heard him call Jian Chen 'Chen'er', so he had already guessed as much in his heart.

Plays the erhu at full health, roams everywhere at low health?!

Hearing this evaluation, Wuming was stunned, feeling confused and not understanding what it meant!

However, Li Zhangsheng did not pay any more attention to Wuming; pulling Wang Yuyan and Nangong Pushie along, he turned to leave.

"Stop!"

Just then, Jian Chen could not hold back; his figure moved to block Li Zhangsheng's path, and he said coldly, "You may leave! But leave the Peerless Good Sword behind!"

"Such a supreme divine sword must never remain in the hands of someone as reckless as you!"

Seeing Li Zhangsheng kill hundreds of swordsmen with one strike and being so young, he was filled with jealousy and had long disliked Li Zhangsheng. Coupled with Li Zhangsheng's dismissive attitude toward Wuming's questioning, Jian Chen was instantly enraged.

Before the words had even finished, Wang Yuyan felt uncomfortable and spoke out directly, "Which eye of yours saw him being reckless?!"

"Hah! Hundreds of swordsmen are dead; is that not reckless enough?!"

Jian Chen retorted, pointing at the corpses covering the ground, righteous and stern, as if standing on the moral high ground.

"I already said, it was just a casual strike; who told them to be so weak!"

Wang Yuyan argued loudly, her crisp voice ringing out in the void.

"Miss! Don't be fooled by him!"

"What casual strike?! How is that possible?! This is simply..."

Jian Chen continued to speak, wanting Wang Yuyan to see Li Zhangsheng's true face, simply not believing that Li Zhangsheng's casual strike could be so terrifying.

"You..."

Wang Yuyan wanted to say more, but was pulled back by Li Zhangsheng.

He looked indifferently at Jian Chen, ignoring him entirely, and instead looked at Heavenly Sword Wuming, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Heavenly Sword Wuming?! What... do you say?!"

Wuming was silent for a moment. Logically, since the Peerless Good Sword had automatically acknowledged its master, he had no reason to make Li Zhangsheng hand it over.

But Li Zhangsheng held the Peerless Good Sword and with a casual strike caused hundreds of swordsmen to meet their end... whether it was a casual strike or not, it was clear that Li Zhangsheng was not a soft-hearted person.

If he were allowed to walk the Jianghu with the Peerless Good Sword, who knows how many would die by this sword?!

Thinking of this, Wuming finally made a decision. He sighed softly and said with compassion, "For the sake of the swordsmen of the world! For the safety of the Jianghu, please, little brother, leave this Peerless Good Sword behind!"

"For the sake of... the swordsmen of the world?! The safety of the Jianghu?!"

Hearing this, Li Zhangsheng felt it was somewhat laughable.

"You... you are actually this kind of Heavenly Sword Wuming?! You... are truly shameless!"

Wang Yuyan's mouth hung open in disbelief; she could not believe that the dignified martial arts myth would say such things.

"Pedantic!"

Nangong Pushie slowly spat out these two words.

"For the sake of the swordsmen of the world?! For the safety of the Jianghu?!"

"Fine!"

Just then, Li Zhangsheng spoke, pointing at several figures, and said indifferently, "As long as you kill Jian Chen, Bu Jingyun, Duan Lang, Ye Gucheng, and the others, I will hand the Peerless Good Sword over to you!"

"Since it is for the sake of the swordsmen of the world, I assume you, Heavenly Sword Wuming, do not care about the lives of these few people before you, right?!"

"Trading the lives of these few for the Peerless Good Sword, for the swordsmen of the world!"

"Wuming, oh Wuming! You have truly taken a huge advantage!"

Li Zhangsheng's gaze was calm as he looked straight at Wuming; he wanted to see what choice the martial arts myth, Heavenly Sword Wuming, would make! ===== CHAPTER 324 =====
