Chapter 15: "Sword Vajra Ge" Ge Canhong Comprehends One Saber Ten Kills!
Gradually, some Loose Cultivators without a Foundation began to make a living near Wangyue Mountain.
That Wang Sandao, the "Shao Yang Sword," was one of the more famous among them.
Wind and Snow Tavern was built on the mountain peak; as one ascended the mountain, the temperature grew colder and colder, and gradually wind and snow appeared.
Just as Ye Yang was riding his Tuo Yun Horse, leaping onto a century-old tree, then using it again to propel himself towards the distance,
He suddenly heard a clang of swords and spears clashing in the distance.
Before Ye Yang could react, he saw a dark black Sword Qi streak across the sky.
It shook the ground, sending broken stones flying, making the mountains tremble and the earth quake, with stones scattering like stars.
A large swath of old trees in the forest fell, dust rose, and rustling leaves fell like rain, startling countless birds perched in the trees.
Ye Yang quickly grabbed the Tuo Yun Horse's reins, lifted his body, and dodged a falling giant tree.
Before Ye Yang could steady the Tuo Yun Horse, he saw a man in a green robe leap out of the dust, fleeing in a panic.
Behind the man was a large, green-skinned Wall Gecko, but its tail had been severed.
The bleeding wound was constantly wriggling, seemingly desperate to regrow a tail.
"Oh no, it's the Wall Gecko Envoy of the Five Poison Sect."
Ye Yang hid behind a tree, looking at the green-robed man, and had already guessed his identity.
The Five Poison Sect has five Envoys: Centipede, Viper, Scorpion, Wall Gecko, and Toad, each possessing astonishing venom.
They act with ruthless cruelty, engaging in rape, kidnapping, and all sorts of evil, having annihilated countless small Families.
Twenty years ago, when the Peach Blossom Dock of the Flying Heaven Gate fell, the Five Poison Sect was the main force.
For twenty years, the Peach Blossom Dock, which was originally full of blooming peach blossoms, ten miles of red flowers, and flying swallows, was transformed into a poisonous lair and demonic den by the Five Poison Sect, becoming a chaotic mess.
No sooner said than done, the moment this dark figure leaped out, the pursuers behind him had already arrived.
A black Sword Qi slanted down from the sky, with a thunderous sound, a sheet of Sword Qi, exploding like lightning, flashing a few times, then consolidating into a giant sword, stabbing directly at the green-robed man.
The green-robed man hid beneath the Wall Gecko; the dark Sword Qi struck the giant Wall Gecko completely.
In an instant, countless blood holes were pierced into the Wall Gecko's body.
"Sword Vajra Ge, damn it, are you truly going to exterminate me today? Have you considered the consequences after my death?"
The green-robed figure let out a tragic howl, unleashing a cloud of poisonous smoke, and the entire person shot into the sky, carrying the injured Wall Gecko, and with just a flash, he escaped to the horizon.
Behind him, the Sword Qi remained brilliant, and a giant sword also chased after him towards the sky.
"It's Senior Master Ge."
Ye Yang saw the huge Sword Qi and wanted to shout.
However, he was afraid that there were still fiends from the Five Poison Sect lurking around, so after some thought, he still did not speak.
Jian Jingang Ge Canhong was the battle-hardened member among the Flying Heaven Gate's "Four Vajras."
His Black Sun Shining Day Sword, with its Qi like a rainbow and rampant Sword Qi, had slain countless Cultivators from both the righteous and demonic Dao.
It was once said that when Sword Vajra Ge made a move, blood would be shed and heads would roll.
"It seems Senior Master Ge is pursuing the Wall Gecko Envoy."
Ye Yang pondered for a moment, stroking his chin. According to his deduction, the Sect seemed to be trying to recruit Wang Sandao, the famous Loose Cultivator of Wangyue Mountain.
But at this moment, Sword Vajra Ge and the Wall Gecko Envoy of the Five Poison Sect were fighting fiercely, which clearly indicated some kind of obstruction.
He carefully savored Ge Canhong's sword moves.
In Ye Yang's mind, the scene of Flying Sword soaring into the sky, Sword Light Separation, and shooting stones flying everywhere, kept replaying.
Sword is Saber.
Saber is Sword.
He suddenly had an epiphany.
Ye Yang's steel saber flew, like silver light exploding, whirling like a full moon, like a wheel shining with silver light.
The next moment, the saber light surged, and the saber light actually split into ten, creating ten large holes in the ancient tree in front.
Saber Cultivators, like Sword Cultivators, also have differences in Realm.
"The simplest is One Saber One Kill, followed by One Saber Ten Kills, One Saber Hundred Kills, all the way to the final Blade Heart Soaring and Thousand Blades Exhaustion."
Ye Yang's previous Sword Light Separation was merely a technique of One Saber Three Kills.
At this moment, under Ge Canhong's Black Sun Shining Day Sword, he actually gained further insight.
He comprehended the path of One Saber Ten Kills.
Putting away his steel saber, Ye Yang felt enlightened and comfortable all over. He looked at the sun and realized that more than an hour had passed.
He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, urging the Tuo Yun Horse to quickly head towards Wind and Snow Tavern.
At the same time, a subtle sense of urgency rose in his heart.
For many years, the Five Poison Sect had been suppressing the Flying Heaven Gate, and the Flying Heaven Gate had always adopted a policy of appeasement, never confronting them directly.
Now, Sword Vajra Ge and the Five Poison Sect were fighting to the death, did this mean that the Flying Heaven Gate's strategy against the Five Poison Sect had changed, and they were beginning to engage in head-on combat?
Once war broke out, these Qi Channeling Disciples would often be sent to the front lines.
When war began, it was a meat grinder; anyone caught in it would be ground to dust, their flesh and blood dissipating.
He thought of the refugees and rebels he had seen along the way.
Ye Yang sighed softly.
"This world is becoming more and more chaotic. No matter what, I must protect my own life."
An unprecedented belief in becoming stronger slowly rose in Ye Yang's heart.
The Tuo Yun Horse galloped through the forest, and soon, white snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
White snow at sunset, brilliant evening glow, a pigeon flew against the light, though its body was pure white, its edges were tinged with a few shades of crimson in the sunset.
The pigeon flew from afar, cooing, and landed on Ye Yang's shoulder.
Ye Yang was startled.
He took the pigeon in his hand and untied a small bamboo tube from its leg.
The bamboo tube opened, and a piece of paper appeared in Ye Yang's hand.
Ye Yang picked up the paper.
The content on the white paper was very simple, only a few words.
"Flying Heaven Gate Disciple Ye Yang, quickly meet at Shaoyang Cave."
This carrier pigeon was specially trained by the Flying Heaven Gate; it was not afraid of falcons, as fast as lightning, and extremely secretive, with strong stomach acid inside.
Upon encountering an attack, it would swallow the paper into its stomach, destroy the writing, and commit suicide.
Shaoyang Cave was Wang Sandao's Dao field. Ye Yang was greatly surprised after reading it.
The next moment, Ye Yang stretched out his large palm and slapped the horse's rump hard.
The Tuo Yun Horse, in pain, galloped wildly forward with all four hooves.
Amidst the floating yellow-red evening glow and falling white snow, a figure on horseback soon galloped to the mountain peak.
Wind and Snow Tavern, with its numerous pavilions, upturned eaves, and yellow-tiled roofs.
On the ridges of the pavilions stood various ridge beasts like water-spouting carp, Dragons galloping, and Phoenixes dancing, which Ye Yang found remarkable.
Ye Yang rode his Tuo Yun Horse, squeezed his legs, and dismounted from the Tuo Yun Horse at the entrance of an inn.
A waiter, seeing him dismount, immediately greeted him with a respectful smile.
"Sir, our Pear Blossom White is famous even outside the Great Wall. Would you like to try some?"
Ye Yang dismounted and handed the Tuo Yun Horse to the stable boy, saying,
"This horse of mine is extraordinary. Use good egg yolks, green bran, and strengthening Spiritual Plants to feed the horse well. I'll eat a full meal, rest a bit, and then leave."
After speaking, Ye Yang took out a handful of scattered Spirit Stones from his waist pouch.
The waiter happily accepted them. Ye Yang tidied his clothes and found a conspicuous spot to sit down.
He placed the bundle in his hand on the table and called out,
"Boss, bring a bowl of beef noodles, with large chunks of beef, and a bottle of Pear Blossom White. I need to eat well to continue my journey."
This tavern was not large. The shopkeeper, seeing Ye Yang riding a Tuo Yun Horse, thought he was some Young Master.
He quickly went to the back kitchen to give instructions, then came out with a pot of old wine to greet him.
Soon, the beef noodles arrived. With the wine, Ye Yang ate everything, sweating profusely, feeling extremely refreshed.
After eating, Ye Yang took out another handful of scattered Spirit Stones and placed them on the table, saying, "Shopkeeper, let me ask you, do you know Wang Sandao of Shaoyang Cave?"
