C282 Faint Blue Sword
C282 Faint Blue Sword
Next to him stood an old man with white hair and beard. He looked to be at least sixty years old, but his muscles were unusually well-developed.
Especially the old man's right hand. It was clearly thicker and thicker than his left hand.
"Master Gu, the deadline has come. I wonder how the preparations for your letter of surrender are going. If there's nothing else, just sign it now. I still remember that I have some matters to attend to in Liaodong."
The refined man said faintly.
Master Gu coldly snorted and said indifferently, "We have an agreement first. Within the deadline, whoever forged the orchid treasured sword first will be the victor. I wonder how your preparations are going?"
The refined man snorted disdainfully and glanced at the old man beside him.
The old man took a long sword case from his back and slowly opened the lid. Instantly, a blue light appeared. Inside was a sword that was entirely blue!
"The orchid sword!"
Master Gu had eaten a lot. He stood up immediately. "This is impossible. How did you do it in such a short time?"
The gentle man smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Do you know who this old man next to me is?"
Master Gu quickly looked at the old man. When he saw that the old man's right arm was obviously thicker than the left arm, he said in surprise, "You are Zhao Man Chui!"
The muscular old man smiled faintly and said, "You do have some eyesight."
Master Gu felt his legs go weak and he collapsed onto the chair. His eyes were empty.
He had made this agreement with the Xu family because of a sudden impulse.
The two families had an agreement. At the appointed time, whoever forged the orchid sword first would win.
The losing side not only had to cut off their arms, but they also had to sign a surrender letter and announce to the world that the Legacy Sect had been terminated.
Master Gu's lineage had been passed down for hundreds of years, and they were going to watch helplessly as it fell into their hands!
Actually, he wasn't just impulsive at that time, because he knew that the forging of the Youlan Sword was extremely difficult. Even if he couldn't do it within that short period of time, the Xu family wouldn't be able to do it.
In the end, it would be impossible to determine the victor.
But he never would have thought that the Xu Clan would actually hire Zhao Man Chui as a helper!
Zhao Man Chui did not belong to any sect, but in the Sword Forging Realm, he was a legendary existence.
He had extraordinary talent and talent. In the entire Sword Forging Realm, his strength could definitely be ranked in the top five!
No wonder Xu Lin was so calm when he signed the bet with him!
"Master Gu, you didn't expect this, did you?"
Xu Lin sneered, "Our Xu Family and your Gu Family are both sword forgers. We have been fighting for hundreds of years, but we still haven't found a winner."
"I won't hide it from you anymore. In order to eliminate your family, our Xu Family has been preparing for this moment for decades."
Master Gu suddenly thought of something and stood up with a loud voice. “ The agreement was that it was the Gu and Xu families who forged the dark blue sword first. Even if the winner wins, this sword was forged by Zhao Man Chui. So it can't be considered as your victory! "
Xu Lin laughed loudly, "Master Gu, oh Master Gu, you don't usually look stupid. Why can't you understand this?"
" If our Xu family really hired external help, I wouldn't even have the time to hide it. How could I bring people here to show you? "
"I have already said it just now. In order to eliminate your bloodline, our Xu Family has prepared for decades. We have set up a big game of chess. Brutal Hammer, tell Master Gu!"
The old man lightly shook his right arm, which was obviously thicker than his left arm, and said with a faint smile, "Strictly speaking, my name is Xu Man Hammer. I have the bloodline of the Xu Family flowing through my body. This can be used for blood identification."
"What? You are a member of the Xu Family?"
Master Gu was shocked, "But... Why..."
The old man smiled. "From the day I remember things, the old patriarch sent me a mission to completely erase my true identity and travel in the martial arts world."
"If not, how could I learn the skills of the Hundred Schools of Sword Forging? If I let you know that I'm a member of the Xu Family, how would you dare to make this bet? "
Master Gu was in complete despair.
Only now did he understand that everything was a trap!
The Xu family had set up such a huge trap against his Gu family!
"I still have one more thing that I don't understand."
Master Gu said, "Even if Xu Man's hammer forging technique has already reached the Dominating Refinement realm, how could it be possible to forge the orchid treasured sword in such a short period of time?"
Xu Man Chui laughed loudly and said, "Do you think that the reason I erased my true identity all these years and walked in the martial arts world was just to confuse you and learn from the head of the Bai family?"
"With my current sword forging technique, it is definitely impossible for me to forge the Youlan Sword in such a short period of time."
"However, I have some friendly relations with the Chen Clan in the Mountain City. They borrowed a high-grade Sword Furnace from me, and I originally wanted to smelt the Steel Mother for ten days, but it only took me a day and a half to shorten the time I needed to forge the sword."
High-grade Sword Furnace?
Yang Xuan's ears perked up when he heard this. He asked, "What grade of Sword Furnace is it?"
"Who are you? Is it your turn to speak here?"
The refined man said disdainfully.
Master Gu was shocked. This was a Sword Venerable! Xu Lin was asking for death by saying such a thing!
However, when he saw that Yang Xuan wasn't angry, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, "This is a friend of mine."
Yang Xuan had warned him not to reveal his identity, so Master Gu definitely wouldn't say that Yang Xuan was a Sword Saint expert. Otherwise, these two would be scared to the point of pissing their pants.

Although the Xu family was powerful, they had never produced a Sword Saint in so many years.
"Master Gu, sign it."
Xu Lin didn't put the average-looking Yang Xuan in his eyes. He took out a letter of surrender and threw it on the table.
Master Gu's eyes were full of despair. He picked up the pen and was about to sign it when Yang Xuan suddenly stopped him.
"I saw the appointed time. Tomorrow is the deadline. Who said we will lose?"
Yang Xuan looked at Xu Lin and said.
Xu Lin was stunned and immediately laughed, "Do you think you can forge the orchid sword in ten hours?"
"If I can forge it, what do you think?" Yang Xuan asked.
"If you can do it, I will lose this bet. Our Xu family will immediately sign the surrender letter and announce to the world that we will completely withdraw from the Sword Forging Realm!"
Xu Lin said confidently.
"Alright, then treat the two of you to a few more cups of tea. I will be back soon!"
After saying that, Yang Xuan dragged Master Gu towards the backyard without saying anything.
"Lord Sword Saint, it's not that I don't trust you. Although your sword technique is superb, forging a sword is not that easy. Not to mention ten hours, even if you give me another year, I might not be able to do it!"
Master Gu urgently said.
Yang Xuan ignored what the other party said and said as he walked, "Prepare the materials and prepare a three jin hammer for me."
Master Gu's eyes were full of helplessness.
It seemed like this Sword Saint knew nothing about forging swords.
This orchid sword was a heavy sword. When it was forged, the heavier the hammer, the better.
The reason why Xu Man's hammer was able to forge the orchid sword in such a short period of time was because his right arm had shocking strength. The hammer he used was more than three hundred kilograms.
But this Lord Sword Saint said he wanted a three kilogram small hammer. This... this was simply child's play!
