Chapter 246

"Sword... sword....."

Seeing Wang Wang Yuyan so nervous that she could not even speak, Jiang Wang Yuyan hurriedly asked:

"Sister Wang Yuyan, what is wrong with you?"

"Why are you suddenly so nervous that you cannot even speak?"

Blushing, Wang Wang Yuyan shook her head vigorously and said:

"No!"

"Sister Jiang, this old man is not as simple as you think!"

"He... he is a swordsman!"

Saying this, Wang Wang Yuyan paused, then continued:

"Moreover, he must be an unparalleled swordsman!"

"His swordsmanship... must be extremely high....."

Hearing Wang Wang Yuyan say this, not only Jiang Wang Yuyan, but even Hearing Hearing Lianxing standing nearby was drawn in.

Seeing everyone's gaze suddenly focus on her, Wang Wang Yuyan suddenly felt even more uneasy, so she lowered her head, blushed, and said:

"That young man just now naturally radiates heroic spirit; one glance reveals his extraordinary bearing, marking him as a born swordsman....."

"But this old man before us hides his sword qi within his belly; outwardly, it is completely undetectable!"

"But in reality, this elder is the true unparalleled swordsman!!"

Jiang Wang Yuyan laughed openly, crossed her arms over her chest, and said with a look of hesitation:

"Is that so? To me, he just looks like a rotten old man."

"Could it be... that all such unparalleled swordsman dress like these rotten old men?"

Although Jiang Wang Yuyan looked unconvinced,

Hearing Hearing Lianxing standing nearby, after Wang Wang Yuyan's guidance, had already seen through the underlying truth.

"Sister Wang Yuyan is right....."

"Although this old man looks like withered wood, he has concealed everything very well."

"But his gaze is extraordinary; generally, only those who have cultivated the martial path to the utmost extreme will reveal such light in their eyes!"

Saying this, Hearing Hearing Lianxing could not help but sigh and say:

"I wonder what kind of master has come this time..."

At the same time,

the old man had already walked up to Su Hang,

where he stopped, bowed slightly to Su Hang, and said:

"Mr. Su, this old one has disturbed you."

"I beg Mr. Su to cast a divination for this old one..."

"This old one's surname is Dugu, my name is Qiubai."

Upon hearing these words from the old man, Su Hang was slightly stunned.

So it is the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai!

In his previous life, Su Hang had read every Wu Xia novel and missed not a single Wu Xia-related movie or TV drama.

It was just that the old man before him differed somewhat from the Dugu Qiubai in Su Hang's memory.

However, for Su Hang at this moment, none of that mattered.

As one of the Seven Great Sword Demons in the current Zong Wu Shi Jie,

compared to the multitude of swordsmen in the Great Ming martial world, his strength could be described as leaving everyone else far behind in a cloud of dust.

It was just that Su Hang had not expected that Dugu Qiubai, now in his seventies, would seek him out for a fortune-telling.

At the same time, compared to Su Hang, the emotions of the others were much calmer.

After all, Dugu Qiubai was a figure from the Great Song Dynasty; although he had earned the name Sword Demon in his early years, he soon withdrew from the martial world.

In the last twenty years, he has long lived in seclusion beyond the world, no longer concerning himself with martial world affairs.

Therefore, in the martial world, the fame of the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai has grown increasingly faint.

Furthermore, with the powerful rise of Ximen Chuixue, Xie Xiaofeng, and others, fewer and fewer people in the entire martial world still remember this old man.

Not to mention the audience in Snow Moon City, even Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, and others within the same dynasty are not very familiar with this unparalleled swordsman.

Precisely because of this, when other spectators saw Dugu Qiubai, their reaction was more one of surprise and disdain.

In everyone's view, an old man with half his body already in the grave, what need was there to have his fortune told?

How could the result be anything other than the character 'death'?

Among everyone, only Wang Wang Yuyan and a few others saw through the underlying truth.

Looking at the Dugu Qiubai before him, Su Hang smiled and said:

"This humble one can draw lots, interpret divinations, calculate the Eight Characters, and also analyze characters and physiognomy..."

"I wonder how the honored elder wishes to have his fortune told?"

At this moment, the 2.9 version of Dugu Qiubai pondered for a moment and said:

"This old one has hardly ever held a brush in his entire life, so analyzing a character would be best."

Having said this,

the old man extended two slender fingers from within his wide, rusted robe,

Ding! Ding!

Immediately, two streams of sword qi blasted out,

Upon seeing this, everyone was filled with shock and fear.

By the time everyone came to their senses,

a character for 【Sword】 had appeared on the ground.

This character for Sword was neither large nor small, perfectly positioned right before everyone's eyes; with just a slight lift of the head, one could see the character clearly and distinctly.

The old man smiled lightly and said:

"After much thought, I still feel this character is the most fitting."

"Please, Mr. Su, speak your mind to resolve the old man's doubts."

"To be honest... the old man has been quite depressed lately..."

Following the direction the old man pointed, Su Hang slowly looked.

There, on the clean ground, was clearly etched a character for 【Sword】.

At first glance, this character for Sword appeared ancient and robust, possessing the style of a grand master.

However, upon closer inspection, Su Hang discovered that the character concealed sharpness within; especially at the curved corner of the final stroke, it resembled a sealed sharp sword, poised as if ready to be drawn from its sheath at any moment.

Beyond that, the old man had written this character using sword qi; even after the character took form, the sword qi remained gathered and did not disperse, showing the old man's profound cultivation.

Seeing this,

Su Hang smiled slightly and said to the old man before him:

"Although this character appears to be a 【Sword】, the sword qi is condensed and does not scatter, still retaining obsession and madness."

"The Fomen say that committing any one of the three sins of greed, anger, or ignorance is to walk the path of evil."

"Mr., you are a sword-obsessed man, and also a Sword Demon."

Hearing this, the old man's expression startled, then he looked on with great interest and said:

"Sword Demon? That is indeed interesting!"

"Please, Mr., elaborate..."
