Chapter 62 My Sister-in-Law's Sword Intent, A Celestial Immortal Descending from Beyond the Hea
Chapter 62 My Sister-in-Law's Sword Intent, A Celestial Immortal Descending from Beyond the Hea
At Yang Qian's command, the entire Qixia Town sprang into action.
Qian Si and his newly recruited "Black Tiger Warriors" began to carry out a comprehensive purge and reorganization of the entire town using ruthless methods.
All potential destabilizing factors, all unruly thugs, and all wandering martial arts practitioners with ulterior motives who still dared to linger in the town were all ruthlessly "invited" out of Qixia Town.
Either get out, or die.
In an instant, the entire town of Qixia was filled with unease and fear.
But soon, the people discovered that this oppressive rule was not a bad thing for them, but a great thing!
Because the town's security has improved compared to ever before!
There are no more thugs who bully men and women, no more villains who dine and dash, and no more reckless thugs who draw their knives in the street at the slightest disagreement.
All shops can open their doors and do business with peace of mind, all people can walk on the streets with confidence, and even leaving doors unlocked at night is no longer just empty talk.
All these changes originated from the mysterious and aloof Yang Mansion!
Gradually, in the hearts of the people of Qixia Town, the "Yang Mansion" and the mysterious "Young Master Yang" transformed from a terrifying demon king into a special existence akin to a guardian deity.
They respected him, feared him, and were grateful to him.
……
Meanwhile, within the Yang family mansion, earth-shattering changes were also taking place.
Yang Qian has completely entered a state of seclusion.
He entrusted all the affairs of the manor to Qian Si and Lian Xing, while he and his sister-in-law moved into the most secluded and quietest independent courtyard in the backyard.
He needs to focus wholeheartedly on improving his strength!
He wanted to thoroughly consolidate and refine his eighth-level innate realm!
He also wanted to train his sister-in-law to become a true peerless swordsman!
In the martial arts training ground of the small courtyard, Yang Qian and Qin Shuyu stood facing each other.
"Sister-in-law, are you ready?"
Yang Qian looked at his stunning sister-in-law, who was dressed in a tight-fitting training outfit that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure, and his eyes burned with desire.
"Um!"
Qin Shuyu nodded vigorously, her pretty face showing a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
She gripped the gleaming "Autumn Water Sword" tightly in her hand, and her entire demeanor was completely different from before. She had lost some of her weakness and timidity, and gained a touch of heroism and sharpness!
"good!"
Yang Qian took a deep breath. "Then let's begin! Today I'm going to teach you the general principles of swordsmanship, the foundation of all swordsmanship—sword intent!"
"Sword intent?"
Qin Shuyu looked at him with some confusion.
"good."
Yang Qian nodded. "The so-called sword intent is your understanding of the sword, the soul you give it! All sword techniques, though varied, share the same fundamental principles. No matter how profound or mysterious the sword moves, their essence remains the same: thrusting, slashing, parrying, hooking, pointing, striking, stirring, and wiping. A true swordsman's task is to integrate his 'intent' into these simplest moves, allowing even an ordinary sword strike to unleash earth-shattering power!"
"for example……"
As Yang Qian spoke, he casually picked up a very ordinary wooden sword from the weapon rack beside him. He looked at Qin Shuyu and said slowly, "Watch carefully, sister-in-law, I'll only demonstrate once."
Before he finished speaking, he moved!
He then gently thrust his wooden sword forward!
The movement was slow and ordinary, like a child just learning swordsmanship making casual gestures, without any internal energy fluctuations or sword energy.
However, in Qin Shuyu's eyes, this sword seemed to have become the only one in the world!
She felt as if she were being stared at by the most venomous snake, and no matter how she dodged, she could not escape that seemingly slow but actually extremely fast fatal blow!
A chilling, deathly fear instantly enveloped her entire being!
She even forgot to breathe!
She only awoke as if from a dream when the tip of the wooden sword gently stopped just before her brow, missing her by a hair's breadth!
"Huff... huff..."
Qin Shuyu was breathing heavily; her back was already completely soaked with cold sweat!
She stared at Yang Qian in disbelief, "Uncle... this is... this is..."
"This is the essence of swordsmanship."
Yang Qian sheathed his wooden sword and said calmly, "My sword strike just now was infused with 'killing intent,' which is why you felt the threat of death."
"If what I integrate is 'dominance'."
As Yang Qian spoke, he swung his wooden sword again!
This time, it was a simple, powerful cleave!
"boom!"
An invisible, domineering wave of energy erupted from the sword, shattering a huge artificial mountain, taller than a person, into pieces not far away!
"If what I incorporate is 'gentleness'."
With a flick of his wrist, Yang Qian transformed the wooden sword into a pool of gentle spring water, which coiled and swirled, gently swirling up all the leaves that had fallen from a nearby tree and then returning them to the treetop intact.
……
He demonstrated several completely different sword intents in succession, leaving Qin Shuyu dazzled and mesmerized.
She felt as if she had seen a door to a whole new world! So this is how swords can be used!
"Sister-in-law, do you understand now?"
Yang Qian sheathed his wooden sword and looked at her, asking a question.
"I...I think I understand now..."
Qin Shuyu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"it is good."
Yang Qian smiled. "Now it's your turn. You, try to infuse your 'intention' into your sword."
"My 'intention'?"
Qin Shuyu was stunned upon hearing this. "I... what 'meaning' do I have?"
"Of course."
Yang Qian looked at her, his eyes softening. "Think about it, why do you practice swordsmanship? What are you thinking when you pick up a sword? What is it that you most want to protect?"
Yang Qian's words were like a key, instantly unlocking the door in Qin Shuyu's heart.
Why do I practice swordsmanship?
To become stronger, to stop being a burden to my uncle, to be able to stand by his side, and to be able to protect him!
Protect the man I love most!
Thinking of this, an unprecedentedly brilliant light burst forth in Qin Shuyu's beautiful eyes!
A pure, unwavering, and supreme sword intent, filled with endless protection, surged from her body into the sky!
She slowly raised the "Autumn Water Sword" in her hand, and then, imitating Yang Qian's earlier actions, gently thrust the sword into the empty void in front of her!
That sword strike was beautiful.
It's as beautiful as the gentlest sunset on the horizon, as beautiful as a fairy from the heavens dancing gracefully.
There was no trace of killing intent, nor any hint of smoke or fire; only a pure, ultimate beauty, and a gentle yet unwavering strength that seemed capable of protecting the entire world!
Yang Qian was completely stunned when he saw the sword!
A legendary name and a legendary peerless sword technique uncontrollably surfaced in his mind!
—Lord of White Cloud City, Ye Gucheng!
—A celestial being descended from the heavens!
