Chapter 50
Tongfu Inn, main hall.
A profound silence.
Everyone was shocked by Su Chen's words.
They had come with the intention of watching the spectacle, wanting to see how Su Chen would debate with Bai Xiaosheng.
They never expected Su Chen to deliver a fatal blow right from the start.
The "Weapon Manual" had always been renowned for encompassing every divine weapon in the Great Ming Jianghu.
Yet, just now, Su Chen had reeled off more than a dozen divine weapons in one breath.
Long-Life Sword, Kong Que Plume, Jade Blade, Parting Hook, Overlord Spear, Deer-Carving Saber...
Never mind Bai Xiaosheng, everyone in the hall was left bewildered.
Although everyone had never even heard of some of these weapons.
But the way Su Chen spoke with such certainty made them feel that, while they didn't understand it, it must be formidable.
……
By the northwest window.
Lian Xing's beautiful eyes shifted, and she smiled bitterly: "Of the weapons Mr. Su mentioned, I only know of the Heaven-Reliant Divine Sword."
As the Second Palace Master of the Flower-Moving Palace, Lian Xing also held a resounding reputation in the Jianghu.
But in front of Su Chen.
She felt as simple as a blank sheet of paper.
"I have seen a record of the Kong Que Plume in an ancient text."
"This Kong Que Plume should be a type of hidden weapon that once shook the Jianghu hundreds of years ago."
"But it has been missing for a hundred years, and its legend has long since ceased in the Jianghu."
"I never expected Mr. Su to be so well-versed in it."
Yao Yue said, lost in thought.
Lian Xing was startled upon hearing this.
"The Kong Que Plume actually exists, and its power is infinite."
"Doesn't that mean the other weapons Mr. Su mentioned also truly exist?"
Lian Xing said, finding it hard to believe.
Who could have imagined that so many little-known divine weapons were hidden within the Jianghu?
"Do not forget Mr. Su's identity."
"The history of the Qinglong Society is even more ancient than the Great Ming Jianghu."
"Anything that has ever appeared in the Jianghu will naturally be recorded in the Qinglong Society's files."
Yao Yue said with great composure, becoming increasingly certain of her inner suspicions.
Lian Xing nodded and said softly: "Now we shall see how this Bai Xiaosheng responds."
On the other side.
Bai Xiaosheng was completely stunned.
Su Chen wasn't just questioning the "Weapon Manual"; he was essentially trying to overthrow his "Weapon Manual" entirely.
If so many divine weapons had truly been omitted.
Then what difference was there between his "Weapon Manual" and a joke?
But when it came to refuting, he didn't know where to begin.
After thinking it over, Bai Xiaosheng could only hum: "Martial arts supreme, precious saber Dragon-Slaying, command the world, none dare disobey; if Heaven-Reliant does not appear, who can contend? I naturally know of these two divine weapons."
Still not convinced?
Su Chen decided to bring out his trump card.
"Then do you know."
"Why does the Dragon-Slaying Saber have the power to command the world?"
"And by what right does the Heaven-Reliant Sword contend with the Dragon-Slaying Saber?"
On the high platform, Su Chen said indifferently.
These words instantly captured the attention of the entire hall.
【Martial arts supreme, precious saber Dragon-Slaying, command the world, none dare disobey; if Heaven-Reliant does not appear, who can contend.】
This was a proverb that had circulated in the Great Ming Jianghu since ancient times.
But no one knew the origin of this proverb.
There were many people in the Jianghu who loved to fight for power and profit.
Because of this proverb, every time the Dragon-Slaying Saber appeared, it would trigger countless factions to fight for it, resulting in rivers of blood.
Everyone wanted to seize the Dragon-Slaying Saber and then command the world.
But for the past hundred years.
Those who obtained the Dragon-Slaying Saber not only failed to slaughter their way to dominance, but were instead besieged and killed one after another.
Until twenty years ago, the Dragon-Slaying Saber disappeared once again.
Only then did this Jianghu catastrophe, which had been continuously staged around the Dragon-Slaying Saber, come to an end.
Now that Su Chen had brought up the old matter again, it piqued everyone's curiosity.
By what right did this Dragon-Slaying Saber receive such high praise?
And by what right was the Heaven-Reliant Sword equally famous as the Dragon-Slaying Saber?
Bai Xiaosheng was stumped once again.
This was a difficult problem that had plagued the Jianghu for hundreds of years; how would he know?
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Bai Xiaosheng could only bite the bullet and say: "That is naturally because these two divine weapons are indestructible and can significantly increase one's combat power..."
"Can one command the world simply by relying on an indestructible precious saber?"
Su Chen asked back with a smile.
Bai Xiaosheng finally couldn't hold it together; he wasn't a real immortal, after all.
"Since Mr. Su asks this, you must be very knowledgeable about these two divine weapons, right?"
Unable to answer, Bai Xiaosheng could only turn the tables.
If Su Chen didn't know either, then they could be considered tied.
"I do indeed know a thing or two about the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber."
On the high platform, Su Chen sipped his tea and said lightly.
These words were spoken lightly, but they caused an uproar of exclamation throughout the hall.
Su Chen actually knew the secret of the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword?
This was a problem that no one in the Jianghu had been able to solve for a hundred years.
In an instant.
The eyes of all the Jianghu heroes in the hall lit up.
……
At the corner of the east wall.
Li Xunhuan poured himself another cup and drank it slowly, looking completely at ease.
He didn't care at all about some Dragon-Slaying Saber or Heaven-Reliant Sword.
