Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 401


"...With just a wave of the Sword Immortal's small hand, all the swords in the world gathered at the call of the Sword Immortal!"

"Countless Green Blades, ten thousand swords bowed, the Sword Immortal stood with hands behind their back, condescending, facing the two without a change in expression, merely uttering a sentence."

"Will you surrender or not?"

"In an instant, anger surged in the hearts of the Jiu He and Crane Immortals!"

"Having lived for a thousand years, when had they ever suffered such humiliation? They had always been the ones questioning others if they would surrender, never imagining being questioned in such a way themselves one day?"

"These two were descendants of the Upper Qing Family's Mystic Sect, with a formidable backing from the Northern Desert's Hua zhou sect, called Xuan Yin. It's said to have existed since the time of Pangu's creation, having immense influence in Hua zhou!"

"When Xuan Yin makes a move, who dares to resist? For such noble individuals like them to endure, it would surely become a laughingstock for the entire world."

"Thus, the two instantly summoned their Magic Treasures, and the Immortal Slayer Formation was called forth in an instant, its power enough to envelop the entire Country Liang, filled with murderous intent, the Magic Treasures in their hands clanging noisily, the heavens were enraged, and their anger even caused a sudden change in the heavens."

"The entire Country Liang couldn't help but tremble at this, even King Liang was terrified out of his wits, and countless experts in the palace made their appearances, thousands of Immortals rushed to the skies, filled with uncertainty and fear, witnessing the emergence of the Jiu He and Crane Immortals even more terrifying to the point of fleeing in all directions."

"The common people wailed, how terrifying was the power of the Immortal Slayer Formation? Even the residual might swept countless civilians into it, making it impossible for them to live or die, turning into a mass of rot to fulfill the formation, corpses littered the ground, for a moment, the entire capital of Country Liang was filled with resentment!"

"King Liang wept bitterly, pleaded with the Sword Immortal to intervene, to save the citizens of this country he even issued a harsh promise, if the Sword Immortal could save the people of one city, he would offer his own daughter to the disciple as a servant for generations, a slave for life!"

Pfft—

The young man listening under the bridge sprayed a mouthful of tea, splashing it onto the storyteller, startling the old man so much that he almost flung his wooden clapper away.

"Cough, cough, cough cough cough..."

He almost choked to death.

The crowd turned their eyes, expressions mixed with indignation.

Just as it reached the exciting part, this inconsiderate youngster interrupted, a few were about to curse but upon seeing the young man's clothes, their complaints stuck in their throats, muttering a couple of grievances softly.

Even the tea-selling storyteller, upon seeing the person's fine attire and demeanor, swallowed his complaint, resigned to his bad luck, all being worldly-wise people, could tell with a glance that he was a wealthy gentleman.

Oh.

There was another reason.

It was because, although the young man appeared genteel, he was robust and mighty in build, towering over the nearby men by half a head.

"Enough, today we meet by chance and so I got carried away with some stories, to know what happens next, listen next time..."

Bang!

Before he finished speaking.

A finger-sized silver ingot flew directly onto the table, spinning irregularly, only an expert could appreciate the finesse in that throw.

"Old gentleman, as the saying goes, 'Fate brings people together even over great distances', can't it continue?"

The young man spoke up.

The listeners nearby showed surprise, a few even seemed a bit malicious, after all, such generosity would be attractive anywhere, even the storyteller couldn't help but reveal a yellow-toothed grin.

Today, it seems they met a generous patron.

"Good! This noble young gentleman speaks rightly, 'Fate brings people together even over great distances', today we gather here because of fate."

"Since fate has brought us together, this old man will continue and thoroughly explain the tales of the contemporary Sword Immortal!"

Clearing his throat, not minding the tea in the cup brewed over twenty times, the one who just threw the reward kept listening happily, indifferent to the greedy eyes from behind.

"Last time we left off, King Liang, to save his people, even willing to offer his daughter as a servant to the Sword Immortal's disciple, this act moved people deeply."

"The Sword Immortal stood still with hands behind, unmoved, even that world-destroying Immortal Slayer Formation was treated as nothing in his eyes."

"Even if the opponents were the Jiu He and Crane Immortals, what of it? Only the Sword Immortal was the True Immortal of his time!"

"Seeing the two rogues unwilling to surrender, the Sword Immortal didn't waste words, how could a fairy be moved by vermin? She wielded her longsword and at one command, ten thousand swords were unleashed! A storm of swords poured down! Her spirit soared, wielded the sword in eight directions!"

"She raised the longsword above her head, and with just a single burst of Sword Qi, what happened do you think?"

"The monumental Immortal Slayer Formation was shattered like clay chickens and pottery dogs before a single sword's might! Even the Immortal Beast under the Jiu He Immortals was shaken to the point of spitting blood by this sword's might, eventually dying with shattered guts and liver!"

"As it is said, the Sword Qi spanned thirty-thousand miles, the sword's gleam coldly illuminated nineteen prefectures, this sword."

"Is named Immortal Slayer!"

He forcefully smacked the clapper down.

The surrounding audience burst into applause, even the young man naturally joined in, face full of admiration.

Though it wasn't admiration for the storyteller's skill, rather...

"The source of this news is too quick."

"Even though Long Country is distant from Country Liang, in just a few months, the news has already spread to Qingshui County."

"Though it's a storytelling, with much artistic embellishment, the general battle process is not far off, only making Country Liang a bit exaggerated as a backdrop."

"But there weren't many involved in that battle, to describe it in such detail, even if not by one of the attendees, they couldn't be too far off, where did the news source come from then? Could it be from the Joyful Sect? Jin Yuan and Ying Ling don't seem like that type."
