Chapter 264

Su Xuan had originally sighed that Gai Nie and Jing Ke did not face each other with swords and fight to the death as in the original work. He did not expect that upon returning to his mansion and just sitting down cross-legged, the two of them would come to him together.

Sensing these two arriving at the door, just as they were about to knock.

Su Xuan couldn't help but say: "No need to knock, come in!"

His voice drifted out of the room with the wind. Although it was not very loud, it happened to fall into the ears of Gai Nie and Jing Ke at the mansion gate.

Hearing Su Xuan's words, the two were stunned for a moment.

Gai Nie came back to his senses and laughed: "It really is Mr. Su's consistent style, fully displaying the demeanor of an expert!"

Jing Ke also came back to his senses and sighed: "Mr. Su is indeed amazing!"

Jing Ke still remembered the first time he saw Su Xuan perform the "Finger Transformation" technique. It was clearly just an ordinary object, yet after Su Xuan pointed his finger, it turned into the corpse of the Six-Fingered Black Hero. It was so vivid that it was enough to pass for the real thing.

After the two chatted and laughed, Gai Nie stepped forward, pushed open the gate, and stepped into the mansion. Afterward, they headed toward the room where Su Xuan was. As they approached the room, the door of the room opened automatically.

Inside the room, the lights were bright. Su Xuan sat cross-legged on the couch, the hem of his clothes swaying slightly, fully displaying his extraordinary demeanor.

"Mr. Su, long time no see!"

Gai Nie greeted Su Xuan. Although he knew that Su Xuan had been entering the palace these past few days to explain the path of cultivation to the King of Qin, Su Xuan mostly entered the palace in the evening, and by that time, he had already left the palace, so the two had not really crossed paths much.

Carefully calculating, the last time the two met was the last time, and that was nearly a year ago; it had been a long time since they had seen each other.

"Greetings, Master Master Xuantian!"

Jing Ke respectfully performed a salute to Su Xuan. Although in private, he, like Gai Nie, called Su Xuan Mr. Su, when face-to-face, he still remembered the words of the Six-Fingered Black Hero and maintained the proper respect for Su Xuan.

"It has indeed been a long time since I last saw you two."

Su Xuan said indifferently. His gaze fell on the wine in Jing Ke's hand, and he said: "You are not drinking in your mansion; what brings you here to me?"

Jing Ke's personality was straightforward, and he replied: "Originally, I was prepared to find Brother Gai for a drink. Before going to Brother Gai's mansion, I discovered that the lights in Master Master Xuantian's mansion were on, and that was how I learned from Brother Gai that Master Master Xuantian had already come out of seclusion."

"If Master Master Xuantian hadn't helped that day, my Mohist school would definitely have been led into a desperate situation by that traitor Yan Dan. Master Master Xuantian's kindness to my Mohist school is as heavy as a mountain and as great as a rebirth. The Six-Fingered Giant often mentioned Master Master Xuantian's kindness, so, in reason and emotion, I had to come and pay a visit!"

Jing Ke spoke eloquently and stated the purpose of his visit to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan nodded slightly and said, "I already know your intention. Now that you have visited me, you may leave!"

Hearing Su Xuan's such direct words, Jing Ke was stunned. He did not expect that Su Xuan had opened the door only to give him a chance to speak, and after he finished speaking, he would directly close the door to see off guests. He had finally come here, and you could at least offer a cup of tea!

After grumbling in his heart, Jing Ke could only attribute it to the fact that high-level experts act differently from ordinary people.

Su Xuan was undoubtedly a high-level expert.

If Jing Ke had only come to visit Su Xuan, leaving now would be fine, but he had other thoughts, so he obviously could not leave just like that.

Jing Ke hurriedly said, "Besides visiting Your Excellency Master Xuantian and thanking Your Excellency Master Xuantian, I have one more thing."

"What thing?"

Su Xuan asked with a calm gaze.

Jing Ke said, "I learned from Brother Gai that Your Excellency Master Xuantian's sword technique is unparalleled in the world. I will not hide it from Your Excellency Master Xuantian, in my life, I have a special fondness for only two things: one is fine wine, and the other is the sword!"

"Back when I was in the Yan state, I had visited many famous swordsmen in the Yan and Zhao lands…"

Su Xuan said, "I was wondering why you came to visit me for no reason; so it was to ask for a sword match!"

Jing Ke looked at Su Xuan seriously. "Please, Your Excellency Master Xuantian, give me some pointers!"

Su Xuan lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I am indeed slightly proficient in sword techniques, but my sword technique is a sword technique for killing. Once the white light rises, blood must be seen…"

This was a warning to Jing Ke that his sword was not drawn lightly, and once drawn, it would definitely hurt someone.

If Jing Ke did not want to get hurt, it was best not to ask him for a sword match.

Jing Ke heard the meaning in Su Xuan's words but did not want to give up. He said, "For a swordsman, when an unparalleled sword technique is placed in front of him, no one wants to miss it, even if one might get hurt or die after seeing this sword!"

"Since you are so persistent, then I won't say much more; I will grant you a sword strike!"

As Su Xuan said this, he raised his arm, and a long sword suddenly appeared in his sleeve.

"Could this sword be?"

Jing Ke looked at the sword in Su Xuan's hand and thought of some things Gainie had told him.

Gainie gave an affirmative answer, "It is Tianwen!"

Tianwen, number one on the sword list!

Upon hearing this news, Jing Ke felt some emotion.

The reason he cared so much about Tianwen was that the Canhong sword, which was cast for the Mohist School and originally intended for the assassination of Qin, had been ranked second on the sword list following the release of Fenghuzi's new sword list after it was recast and renamed Yuanhong.

This caused a great stir among the many swordsmen in the world. No one expected that this sword named Yuanhong could force the original famous sword Tai'e into the third position.

The number one sword, however, had not changed for many years; it had always been Tianwen.

Tianwen was originally the sword of the King of Qin. In many people's impression, it had always been held by the King of Qin, but Jing Ke learned from Gainie that this sword had been given to Su Xuan by the King of Qin a long time ago.

Knowing that the sword in Su Xuan's hand was Tianwen, Jing Ke's gaze became focused. He did not borrow Yuanhong from Gainie but handed the two pots of wine he was holding to Gainie, and then drew the sword he had been carrying on his back.

The sword on his back was named "Shuihan," and it was a new work by Master Xu in recent years.

The Canhong sword was constantly releasing a sense of heat, while the Shuihan sword had the opposite nature. Cast from cold iron, it was constantly releasing a sense of cold. This sword was a new sword cast by Master Xu to match his mother's posthumous work, Canhong.

Inside the room, as Jing Ke drew Shuihan, the temperature suddenly dropped. Then, he resolutely drove the Shuihan sword in his hand, and a cold sword qi swept toward Su Xuan. Su Xuan, holding Tianwen, also swung a sword strike.
