Chapter 247: There's No Free Lunch in the World!

Hindered by the fact that Ye Zhangfeng, the son of the Sword God, had been defeated in one move, Zhang Liyun ultimately didn't dare to expose Xu Que, so he could only grit his teeth fiercely and swallow this anger.

He had already decided that after the sect elders arrived, he would let the elders take down this little bastard, and by then, everything he had swallowed would have to be spat out.

However, the three cultivators who had obtained ancient swords but had them taken away by Xu Que still surrounded Xu Que.

Although Xu Que was very mixed, he was also a person with principles. If people don't offend me, I don't offend people; have grudges, repay grudges; have grievances, repay grievances. If there are no grudges, forget it.

Among these three cultivators, only Situ Shang had a conflict with him, while the other two were innocent, so Xu Que didn't want to cut off their good fortune, and simply took out three ancient swords and returned them.

The ninth prodigy who appeared was two swords, the second prodigy was one sword, and as for Situ Shang, he just stood there waiting for Xu Que.

"Here! I seem to have taken three ancient swords from you guys! Now all returned to their original owners. I, Fujiwara Takumi, am a good youth of the 21st century who doesn't pocket money, even if I pick up a cent on the side of the road, I have to hurry and hand it over to the police uncle."

After returning the three ancient swords, Xu Que saw that Situ Shang was still glaring at him, seemingly waiting for him to return the ancient sword to him, so he walked over with a smile: "Hey! Why are you glaring at me with such big eyes? I'm not a pretty girl, could it be... you were just conquered by my demeanor, so... your gaze can no longer move away from me?"

When these words were spoken, out of ten people at the scene, nine were about to be angered to laughter by Xu Que. They had never seen such a shameless person!

Situ Shang wasn't conquered by your demeanor at all!

You rascal, what demeanor do you have!

Situ Shang was waiting with wide eyes for you to return the ancient sword to him!

"Ancient sword! My ancient sword..."

To be fair, Situ Shang's anger had already accumulated to the verge of madness, but he was also worried that Xu Que really wouldn't return the ancient sword to him, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and pretended to be very kind: "Please, Fellow Daoist Fujiwara, return the ancient sword I obtained. My Situ family will definitely repay Fellow Daoist Fujiwara well..."

Repay?

Everyone at the scene actually knew that this repayment was probably revenge!

You insulted the eldest young master of the Situ family so much and made the Situ family lose face; would the Situ family let you off easily?

"Yo! So this Fellow Daoist Situ wants an ancient sword! That's simple, isn't it? I'll tell you... the method to obtain an ancient sword is truly simple..."

Seeing Situ Shang's furious expression, Xu Que pointed wretchedly at the Sword Spirit cave entrance:

"See that? Inside there, countless ancient swords are hidden. You want how many, there are how many inside. I'll teach you the method, it's especially simple: just scold that Sword Spirit fiercely. The more fiercely you scold, the more ancient swords the Sword Spirit will reward you with. Look... didn't I just test it? It gave me hundreds in one go. Otherwise, why would it be said that this Sword Spirit has so many swords? It's just cheap! So... Fellow Daoist Situ, as long as you are cheap enough! You will definitely be able to get an ancient sword..."

"You..."

Not only Situ Shang, but everyone at the scene was about to be angered to tears by Xu Que's words.

Damn, according to your statement, all those ancient swords just now were obtained by insulting the Sword Spirit?

Who are you trying to fool! It's said that the Sword Spirit inside has a bad temper.

"What? You don't believe it? Then I can't help it. Young man, I'll give you a piece of advice! There's no free lunch in this world! Laziness is undesirable, labor is the most glorious! Only the fruits obtained through your own sweat truly belong to you.

If you want an ancient sword, you have to obtain it through your own efforts! What's the meaning of you reaching out to me like this? Am I your father? However... if you are willing to call me that, I can reluctantly accept you as an unfilial son..."

After Xu Que finished speaking, he looked at Situ Shang with a kind gaze, seemingly really waiting for Situ Shang to call him father.

Situ Shang ultimately couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily: "Bastard, how dare you bully me like this! Hand over my ancient sword, otherwise don't blame me for making a move!"

"Yo ho, you want to make a move against me? Just kidding, everyone, judge for yourselves. This guy couldn't get an ancient sword himself. Seeing that I got so many ancient swords, he actually wants to make a move and rob me. You tell me, does he have the qualifications?" Xu Que said with disdain.

The crowd was also speechless, just pretending they hadn't heard anything.

Situ Shang naturally couldn't let it go and said angrily: "If you don't hand over the ancient sword today, I will make you have no chance to regret it!"

"Yo, I'm really scared. You sect big shots, is there no one willing to win me over to their sect? Hurry up, your chance to perform has come. Whoever abolishes this Situ chicken, I will join their sect!"

Xu Que shouted to the crowd.

Many sect elders were present, and hearing this, they were indeed tempted.

However, the power of the Situ family made them very hesitant.

For the sake of a sword cultivation genius, offending the Situ family, is it worth it?

And I'm afraid that among those present, only the Langjian Sect could challenge the Situ family...

Many people looked toward the Langjian Sect, and Situ Shang was no exception. He hadn't made a move until now because he was wary of the Langjian Sect.

And the Langjian Sect, without the elders present, only had Zhang Liyun, a disciple with relatively high cultivation, to hold the fort. At this moment, he turned his head away, pretending he didn't know anything.

Although Xu Que had a handle to threaten them, offending the Situ family touched their bottom line, and Zhang Liyun didn't dare to make the decision.

Seeing this situation, Situ Shang's lips curled into a sneer: "Fujiwara Takumi, in front of my Situ family, it's absolutely impossible for anyone to dare to protect you. If you're sensible, hurry up and hand over the ancient sword!"

"Hehe, I, a good man of the Zha Tian Gang, need someone else to protect me? I was just seeing who would dare to come out and protect me; I would definitely have slapped them." Xu Que shook his head.

The crowd at the scene twitched their lips. Damn, just keep bragging; would you die if you didn't brag?

"Looking for death!"

Situ Shang obviously lost all patience, suddenly sacrificed a flying sword, sword light flashed, carrying majestic sword intent, and instantly flew toward Xu Que.

"Yo ho, quite fast! Looks like a quick shooter!"

Xu Que's eyelids jumped, secretly thinking he had underestimated Situ Shang a little.

But to solve this kind of rookie, it was still easy for him.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Que suddenly pulled out a large broadsword, which was one of the ancient swords he had just gotten from the cave, rusty and looking very broken!

With a crisp "clang" sound, Situ Shang's sword was directly blocked by the broadsword, and a few flakes of rust fell off.

Situ Shang curled his lips and sneered: "You use an ancient sword to fight me? Truly stupid. Although these ancient swords have extraordinary origins, they have long been abandoned, like scrap metal. How can they fight me? Go to hell!"

After speaking, he took a sudden step forward, the sharp sword made a humming sound, and instantly flew toward Xu Que like lightning.

Xu Que stood in place, not moving at all, and even slowly closed his eyes.

"Hiss!"

The crowd at the scene gasped.

Is this guy crazy?

Situ Shang's sword technique is second only to Ye Zhangfeng, the son of the Sword God, and he actually dared to close his eyes?

Could it be that he's waiting to die?

……

However, just as Situ Shang's sword arrived, Xu Que finally raised his large sword with both hands, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and roared: "Demacia!" ===== CHAPTER 248 =====
