This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 460: Chapter 8: Willing to Take the Bait_2

Upon his arms, the five-colored sparrow totem seemed to revive, slowly breaking free.

A moment later,

Dongque Yan swung his arms with a thick murderous intent, as the phantom of the five-colored sparrow wrapped around his palms, overwhelming the sky and heading straight for Lu Qingshan.

A screech!

A high-pitched cry of the five-colored sparrow even resonated through the void, piercingly sharp.

Facing this ferocious strike, Lu Qingshan merely sneered.

“A sparrow dares to compete with the Dragon Sparrow in singing?”

With a thought, the Phoenix Pattern on the Dragon Sparrow Sword flashed abruptly, and the temperature of the air surged instantly.

The Dragon Sparrow brandished a fiery red Sword Light, welcoming Dongque Yan’s onslaught.

In the course of its flight, a sonorous sound suddenly emanated from above the Dragon Sparrow.

Clang! It was as melodious and Unparalleled as the Phoenix Cry in the Nine Heavens.

Dragon Sparrow: Phoenix Cry.

A Phoenix Soul Shadow emerged from the Sword Light, let out a clear cry, and collided with the five-colored sparrow phantom in Dongque Yan’s hands.

Phoenix against sparrow.

The outcome was clear at a glance.

The phantom of the five-colored sparrow vanished in an instant, and all the flames were swept away by the Phoenix Soul Shadow.

Hisss!

With undiminished power, the Dragon Sparrow pierced directly into the right palm of Dongque Yan.

The next moment, Dongque Yan’s face twitched faintly.

In the palm of his hand, a bead of blood had oozed out. Although it evaporated the instant it appeared due to the flames in his hand, this strike indeed had injured him.

The first exchange between the two could be considered a draw.

In this second clash, he had gone all out only to be at a disadvantage? @@novelbin@@

Dongque Yan was shocked in his heart but understood that this indicated that Lu Qingshan now indeed had the standing to talk with him.

“Who are you, and why are you hostile towards the Dongque Tribe?” feeling the lingering pain in his palm, Dongque Yan’s expression gradually became serious, and he finally stopped and asked the first question.

He could clearly sense that Lu Qingshan had not yet formed his Tao seed, possessing only Nascent Soul Cultivation.

Yet this Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator was eerily formidable; his Flying Swords dominated, and even he could not underestimate them.

Such a powerful Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator was rare, which made Dongque Yan unavoidably entertain a thought, his heart skipping a beat as he pressed on, “Could it be that you come from the Sword Cleansing Pool?”

“I trusted your Dongque Tribe and thus purchased a map from your Dongque artifact shop.

Little did I know that the cultivators from your Dongque Tribe had secret dealings with the Sand Bandits. They turned around and sold my information to these bandits,”

Lu Qingshan did not answer Dongque Yan’s second question and instead coldly mocked, “Had I not had some skill, by now I would have been dead and buried in the yellow sands. Is this your Dongque Tribe’s way of treating guests?”

“Colluding with the sand bandits?” Dongque Yan frowned in surprise, “That’s impossible?!”

Lu Qingshan looked at Dongque Yan with a meaningful gaze.

The sand bandits caused mayhem in the Mogao Desert, even slaughtering many of the local small tribes, which had already provoked the ire of the local cultivators.

Therefore, whether Dongque Yan truly knew nothing of this or pretended to be ignorant, he had to appear completely unaware at this moment; otherwise, he would be universally condemned.

Whoosh!

Lu Qingshan was indifferent to whether Dongque Yan was putting on an act or not, and simply threw a Jade Slip at him. He then infused his voice with Spiritual Power so that everyone in the city could hear him.

Thereafter, Lu Qingshan declared loudly, “Not long ago, the poisonous old villain of the sand bandits sought to ambush and kill me. Unfortunately, his skills were not up to scratch, and instead, he was killed by me, losing his life.

This Jade Slip was searched out from his Storage Ring, which records all his despicable dealings with your Dongque Tribe’s Golden Core Cultivator Huang Zhong over the years. The truth within is clear, and the Clan Leader of the Dongque need only look to know.”

Dongque Yan’s expression changed, and he quickly took the Jade Slip, his Divine Sense probing into it.

After a few breaths, he raised his head, hesitated for a moment, but eventually bowed with a fist towards Lu Qingshan, saying, “There must be some misunderstanding here. I ask for your pardon, fellow Daoist.

I will investigate thoroughly, and if there really is such an absurd affair, I will surely apologize to you.”

Lu Qingshan looked at Dongque Yan and said with a smile that was not quite a smile, “There’s no need for apologies, as I’ve already personally collected the apologies I should have, and there’s no need for the Clan Leader of the Dongque to gild the lily.

Only, Clan Leader Dongque, it would be best to keep a closer rein on your own cultivators, lest one day they bring disaster upon themselves.”

Dongque Yan’s expression stayed fairly unchanged, and he responded with a smile, “What the fellow Daoist said is true.”

Seeing Dongque Yan being so reasonable, Lu Qingshan flicked his sleeves, took control of his sword, and once more left Dongque City.

…..

“Father, why did you let him off so easily after he humiliated our Dongque Tribe like this?” After Lu Qingshan’s figure faded away, a silhouette flew close from behind, landing beside Dongque Yan with a hint of anger in his expression.

This person was Dongque Yan’s son, Dongque Xiao.

“Foolish,” Dongque Yan scolded his son in a low voice, “Although that person has only Nascent Soul Cultivation, he showed Flying Sword techniques that are by no means ordinary.

Even if I could suppress him with my Cultivation and gain the upper hand, it would be incredibly difficult to kill him.

And if I truly made a deadly move, it would mean making a mortal enemy of him.

Do you think such a formidable Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator would have no Sect backing him?

If the Sect behind him comes knocking, where shall we place Dongque City then?

Moreover, he is so young yet so terrifying in his methods. In ten or twenty years, what realm might he reach? To make an enemy of such a cultivator is to court destruction, is it not?”
