Medical and Martial God

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Kneel Down, Acknowledge Me as Your Godfather

As the top expert on the War God Ranking, Yin Tianxi had always dreamed of possessing a sword worthy of his status. Yet, despite his desires, he had never obtained one.

After receiving Ling Yun’s call, Yin Tianxi had practically flown to Jin Ye City University. He didn’t head directly to the sports field, however. Instead, he cautiously climbed to the rooftop of a nearby classroom building to survey the situation on the field from a distance.

At that moment, Ye Xiu, who was on the field, sensed something and glanced at the rooftop of the building from the corner of his eye.

He then handed the Bronze Sword to Ling Yun and said, ”Take a look at this sword. What do you think?”

”This...” Ling Yun took the sword. Upon drawing it, he was immediately shocked. He had just bluffed to Yin Tianxi that he had found a rust-covered treasure sword, and now Ye Xiu had actually produced a rust-covered Bronze Sword. After examining it for a moment, Ling Yun said, ”I have a hobby of collecting antiques. This Bronze Sword must be ancient. Since it’s made of bronze, it can only be a collector’s item.”

He meant that the Bronze Sword’s toughness, hardness, and sharpness were far inferior to that of modern steel swords.

”You have a poor eye for quality!” Ye Xiu took the Bronze Sword back, handed it to Kong Ruoruo, and instructed, ”Go and chop the goalpost.”

”Cousin, the goalpost is made of iron. If I hit it with this, the sword will be ruined,” Kong Ruoruo said.

”I told you to chop, so just chop. Use all your strength!” Ye Xiu urged.

”Alright then.” Kong Ruoruo walked over to the goalpost, grasped the sword with both hands, and swung with all her might. As if cutting through tofu, she effortlessly sliced the iron post in two. The Bronze Sword, however, was completely undamaged; its edge wasn’t even nicked.

”This...” Kong Ruoruo and Ling Yun were both astounded.

The goalpost was hollow, but it was still made of iron. To think the Bronze Sword had cut it in two so easily.

”What a treasure! This is truly a sword that cuts through iron like mud!” Ling Yun took the Bronze Sword from Kong Ruoruo’s hands, unable to put it down.

From the rooftop, Yin Tianxi witnessed Kong Ruoruo cut the goalpost in two with a single strike. His breathing immediately grew ragged.

A Divine Weapon! That is absolutely a Divine Weapon! A young woman with barely any strength could slice through an iron post so easily. In my hands, that Bronze Sword would be an unparalleled Divine Weapon!

With no doubts remaining, Yin Tianxi rushed down to the sports field at top speed. He snatched the sword from Ling Yun’s hands and exclaimed excitedly, ”A fine sword, a truly fine sword! Ling Yun, buy this sword and give it to me. I’ll owe you a massive favor. Anything you need in the future, just ask, and I’ll get it done.”

Heh, it’s not even certain you’ll be leaving here alive today... Ling Yun thought, but on the outside, he played along with Ye Xiu’s act. He turned and asked, ”Friend, how much are you selling this sword for?”

In his mind, Ye Xiu would definitely refuse to sell it. Yin Tianxi would then try to take it by force, giving Ye Xiu the perfect opportunity to deal with him.

”Three hundred million!” Ye Xiu said with a slight smile, taking the Bronze Sword back from Yin Tianxi.

Yin Tianxi immediately grew anxious. ”For such a Divine Weapon, 300 million isn’t expensive at all. Ling Yun, hurry, buy it for me!”

Buy it, my ass! Even if I did, could you walk away with it alive? Besides, even if I paid, Ye Xiu would never let me take the sword. Ling Yun complained internally, but then he had a sudden realization. Ye Xiu isn’t asking for 300 million for the sword... he’s giving me a roundabout way to pay 300 million for my own life! If I refuse, he might just cut both me and Yin Tianxi down.

”Alright,” he said. ”Friend, give me your account number, and I’ll transfer the money.”

”Okay.” Ye Xiu immediately pulled Ling Yun aside and gave him the account information. The transfer was completed in seconds, the money arriving instantly.

”Is the payment complete?” Yin Tianxi asked.

”It’s done,” Ling Yun nodded.

Yin Tianxi smiled and extended his hand. ”Then give me the sword.”

Ling Yun looked at Ye Xiu, growing tense. He knew Ye Xiu was about to make his move.

Kong Ruoruo’s face flushed with excitement. My cousin fighting the number one expert on the War God Ranking! This is going to be incredible!

”I’m not giving it to you,” Ye Xiu refused with a smile.

Yin Tianxi was stunned. ”Ling Yun already paid. Why won’t you give it to me?”

”You guess,” Ye Xiu said with a shrug.

Yin Tianxi’s expression changed. ”Are you making a fool out of me and Ling Yun?”

”I am,” Ye Xiu admitted frankly.

Enraged, Yin Tianxi fought back the urge to crush Ye Xiu. ”You probably don’t know who I am, do you? I am Yin Tianxi, number one on the War God Ranking. I suggest you hand over the sword obediently. If you anger me, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death.”

Ye Xiu just scoffed. He suddenly raised the Bronze Sword to the sky. An immense Sword Qi surged out of it like a tidal wave, sweeping in all directions like a tempest. In an instant, every blade of grass on the soccer field was reduced to dust before the Sword Qi vanished without a trace.

”What was that you were saying?” Ye Xiu asked with a grin.

Yin Tianxi stood dumbfounded, staring at the now-bare soccer field. As the top expert on the War God Ranking, he simply couldn’t comprehend the principle behind Ye Xiu’s attack. Just by raising the sword, he had released an incredible amount of Sword Qi. It had scoured the entire field of grass without harming a single person. What terrifying Swordsmanship!

Ling Yun was also dumbstruck. He had long heard that Ye Xiu was strong, but he never imagined this level of power. It was monstrous, almost inhuman.

Kong Ruoruo stared at Ye Xiu with pure admiration, screaming internally, Cousin is so amazing! So strong! So cool!

”What kind of Swordsmanship is that?” Yin Tianxi asked, his face flushing red with fear and embarrassment. Just moments ago, he had been arrogantly announcing his identity and threatening Ye Xiu, only to discover that this young man was far stronger than him.

”This isn’t Swordsmanship; it’s Sword Intent,” Ye Xiu corrected.

”Sword Intent?” Yin Tianxi paused. ”What is Sword Intent?”

”Let me put it this way,” Ye Xiu said. ”The rank of War God represents the limit of human potential, but it’s not the end of the road. Once you comprehend your own ’Intent,’ you can undergo Cleansing Essence and Marrow and break through the War God realm.”

Yin Tianxi blinked, not fully comprehending. However, he did understand one thing: the young man before him possessed strength that surpassed the War God realm.

From Yin Tianxi’s expression, Ye Xiu sensed something was off. This guy isn’t from the Long Family’s Main Lineage. More accurately, he doesn’t seem to know that the Long Family has members who have surpassed the War God realm. He must be a hired gun they brought to Jin Ye City to do their dirty work.

”How does one comprehend ’Intent’?” Yin Tianxi asked.

”Kneel, accept me as your godfather, and I’ll teach you,” Ye Xiu said.

Yin Tianxi was furious but didn’t dare show it. Taking a deep breath, he said, ”I’m forty-six years old. You look like you’re in your early twenties. You’re asking me to call you godfather? Are you trying to humiliate me?”

”Actually, I’m old enough to be your grandfather,” Ye Xiu spouted nonsense with a straight face. After all, Yin Tianxi had no idea who he really was.

”What?” Yin Tianxi was shocked. ”You... you’ve cultivated the Youth Preserving Evil Technique?”

Such an Evil Technique did exist in the Ancient Martial Circle, allowing a cultivator to maintain a youthful appearance.

”I am the greatest opportunity of your life. Whether you can seize it or not is up to you,” Ye Xiu said with an air of profound wisdom.

THUD!

Ling Yun fell to his knees. ”Godfather!”
