Chapter 702: I'll Teach You a Real Sword Technique for Killing
Chapter 702: I'll Teach You a Real Sword Technique for Killing
As the group was escorted out of the Divine Water Palace by the disciples, they all felt as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Hu Tiehua burped from the alcohol, still dazed, and muttered, "No man has entered the Divine Water Palace in twenty years, and yet we managed to come out alive?"
Dai Duxing nodded, clicking his tongue in admiration, "I never thought that Jellyfish Yin Ji would be so formidable."
Dai Duxing glanced at Jin Banhua, and sighed, "I never expected that Jin Gongzi could actually match Yin Ji blow for blow. Madam Bangzhu's judgment was indeed sharp!"
"You flatter me, Dai Laoyezi," Jin Banhua said with a smile, bowing her hands, "How is Madam Qiu doing?"
"She's well," Dai Duxing sighed, "Some of the elders wanted her to succeed as the new Bangzhu, but she refused. After publicly executing Jin Wuhua in front of the former Bangzhu's shrine and arranging for a new Bangzhu to take over, she retired to Nishan."
Jin Banhua rubbed her hands together, her face full of smiles, "I understand."
On the other side, Chu Liuxiang was consoling Huang Luzhi, "The body of Xiongnangzi has already been buried next to Situ Jing. His wish has been fulfilled, Senior, please accept my condolences."
Huang Luzhi sighed, "He ruined the innocence of many girls in the past, and now he died at the hands of a woman. It's not unjust."
Only Chu Liuxiang and Huang Luzhi knew about the relationship between Xiongnangzi and Jellyfish Yin Ji, and they didn't tell others about it. Therefore, others didn't pay attention to their conversation but focused on the banquet at the Divine Water Palace that had just concluded.
Li Hongxiu looked at Jin Banhua, "Jellyfish Yin Ji actually acknowledged you as her younger brother during the banquet!"
Jin Banhua was quite proud, "As the second Palace Lord of the Divine Water Palace and the younger brother of Jellyfish Yin Ji, with this title, I can walk sideways in the jianghu, right?"
Dai Duxing exclaimed, "Not just walk sideways, even if you lay down at the entrance of Shaolin Temple, they would serve you vegetarian meals with utmost respect."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
But after the laughter, they couldn't help but sigh. For Yin Ji, who loved women and hated men, to view someone differently, it could only mean that Jin Banhua had impressed her.
The group didn't know about the part where Jin Banhua had persuaded Yin Ji, and neither of them would spread this matter around.
Of course, the group's assumption wasn't entirely wrong. If Yin Ji couldn't defeat Jin Banhua, she wouldn't have listened to his pleas.
As for how everyone knew about Yin Ji's preference for women...
Before the banquet at the Divine Water Palace, Yin Ji had asked Gong Nanyan to accompany her to change her clothes. After they came out, Gong Nanyan had a look of both emotion and excitement, as if her eyes were glowing, wishing to cling to Yin Ji's body.
It was clear that after Yin Ji had figured everything out, as a top martial artist in the jianghu and the founder of the Divine Water Palace, it was easy for her to manipulate Gong Nanyan.
"I never thought that Jellyfish Yin Ji and Gong Nanyan were in that kind of relationship." Song Tian'er exclaimed, "No wonder Gong Nanyan never showed any affection towards Chu Dage."
Li Hongxiu tapped her head, "Did you want her to fall for Chu Dage?"
Song Tian'er giggled, linking arms with Li Hongxiu, and said with a coquettish smile, "Our Divine Vinegar Palace Lord is jealous again? Don't be jealous anymore, there will be more to eat in the future!"
Su Rongrong sighed, "No wonder when my aunt brought me into the Divine Water Palace, she warned me not to leave the room, or I might encounter unforeseen disasters."
When Hu Tiehua and the others mentioned that Su Rongrong had taken a detour to Puti An, Yin Ji sent someone through the secret passage to bring Su Rongrong to the Divine Water Palace.
With Jin Banhua present, Yin Ji had also come to an understanding, so Su Rongrong naturally wouldn't be subjected to Yin Ji's covetousness again. Instead, she sat proudly with her aunt and even toasted Yin Ji with a cup of wine.
Liu Wumei smiled, "Perhaps other female disciples of the Divine Water Palace would reluctantly submit to Yin Ji, but Gong Nanyan is obviously different. Her preferences are exactly the same as Yin Ji's."
Everyone chuckled at this.
Although it was somewhat unbelievable, there was no hint of ridicule.
Joking aside, even without Jin Banhua's explanation, as the top martial artist in the contemporary world, who would dare mock Jellyfish Yin Ji?
"Fortunately, Jin Brother was able to fight the Divine Water Palace Lord to a draw, otherwise, we wouldn't have had such an encounter." Li Yuhuan looked at Jin Banhua with admiration in his eyes, "What's Xue Yiren compared to? Jin Brother is truly the Supreme Sword of the World!"
No one objected to this statement.
Not to mention Jin Banhua's display of various sword techniques during her battle with Jellyfish Yin Ji, just her single move, Heavenly Flying Immortal, was enough to earn her the title of Supreme Sword of the World.
But when Chu Liuxiang mentioned Xue Yiren, his eyes flickered.
He had initially suspected that the masked black-cloaked man was Xue Yiren, but later felt that although the man's sword technique was exceptional, it seemed to fall short of the title of Supreme Sword of the World.
After all, being injured in thirty moves by Jellyfish Yin Ji and then dying at Jin Banhua's sword was somewhat pathetic.
Although the martial arts of these two couldn't be judged by common sense, the demeanor displayed by the black-cloaked man also lacked the awe-inspiring grandeur of dominating the world.
However, he refused to let anyone lift his mask...
In any case, Chu Liuxiang was now filled with doubt, but this doubt could be easily resolved by asking around whether Xue Yiren was still at the Jiangnan Xue Family Manor after leaving.
Of course, whether the black-cloaked man was Xue Yiren or not wasn't important, what mattered was...
Chu Liuxiang turned to Central Plain Scarlet Point, "Red Brother, you can finally be free."
Yan Dianhong sighed, "Indeed."
Similar to the feelings Liu Wumei and Qu Wurong had for Shi Guan Yin, although Yan Dianhong was dissatisfied with the black-cloaked man, he had never thought of killing him. Now, seeing him die before his eyes, Yan Dianhong felt a sense of loss, although not as intense as the other assassins.
"Red Brother and his wife no longer have any worries, with the freedom of the ocean and sky, and the birds soaring high. Allow me to congratulate you first." Chu Liuxiang said with a smile.
"If you have nowhere to go, you can head to the Jin Family in the capital."
Jin Banhua patted Yan Dianhong's shoulder, "I've realized your judgment is really not that great. You can't even distinguish between strong and weak martial arts or good and bad sword techniques. When I have time, I'll teach you a true sword technique for killing."
Yan Dianhong's eyes lit up, "Heavenly Flying Immortal?"
"Heavenly Flying Immortal is too complex for you," Jin Banhua said.
Yan Dianhong blinked, feeling that something about this statement seemed a bit off.
But he didn't understand at the moment, so he didn't pay it much mind and continued to ask, "Then what sword technique is it?"
"Life-Taking Thirteen Swords," Jin Banhua said with a smile. "If you can master the fourteenth sword, there will be very few people in the world who can match you. If you can learn the fifteenth sword, even if you claim the title of Supreme Sword of the World, it wouldn't be impossible."
Yan Dianhong's face was filled with confusion, "Life-Taking Thirteen Swords, how can there be a fourteenth and fifteenth sword?"
"It's precisely because there are fourteenth and fifteenth swords that Life-Taking Thirteen Swords is so formidable," Jin Banhua explained.
Yan Dianhong didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
Chu Liuxiang's eyes lit up, "Perhaps Life-Taking Thirteen Swords was originally just a decent sword technique, but a top expert built upon it, creating two new swords that surpassed the predecessors and shook the world!"
It was undeniable that Chu Liuxiang's sensitivity to martial arts was indeed remarkable. This was why he could quickly identify the weaknesses of his opponents with higher martial skills and then defeat them, turning defeat into victory.
Yan Dianhong asked, "If Life-Taking Thirteen Swords is so powerful, why didn't you use it in the valley before?"
"I didn't have a life-and-death feud with the Palace Lady, so why would I use this sword technique?" Jin Banhua countered.
Yan Dianhong's eyes gleamed, "If you use this sword technique, will you definitely defeat Yin Ji?"
Jin Banhua looked up at the sky, "I don't know!"
