RUO STATE
SWORD RESIDENCE
A swordsman in white is practicing his sword move on the Sword Ground. He was fast, his moves contained swiftness and lethality.
His figure flows with the wind and his aura was like that of nature. In his eyes there is only the sword.
His feet seem to float a few inches from the ground as he glides and executing high level moves of swordsmans.h.i.+p.
The sword light coming out from his slash and chopping motion could make people avert their gaze and the sound of wind ripping as his sword falls down could chill anyone heart
His face is handsome and his move are elegant and each strike seems effortless.
A few of the woman disciple would peek at the figure of that man practicing his Swordsmans.h.i.+p
The man is practicing the One Sword technique. In the martial art world there is three sword manual that is considered the three greatest swords manual
There is the Flowing Sword Art in the possession of Immortal Tian. There is the Heaven Sword Arts that is still missing and then there is the Sword Residence One Sword technique.
This swordsman in white is none other than the most talented disciple of the current leader of Sword Residence, The Monarch of Sword, Zhu Yao.
He was entranced with his own sword move but then he suddenly stop his moves, the force of his stopping rips the wind around as sound of shearing could be heard booming in the area.
He put down his sword back into its sheath and then he sighed regretfully.
"It is still not enough. I still don"t understand. I still don"t understand" he repeated the words two times.
As he was thinking back to the moves that he practices and the manual that the Sect leader gave him, he could realize that the more he practices the sword arts, the more confusion he has.
There is no One Sword in his move. There are thousands of sword and thousands of moves when he executes the sword arts.
It is full of variation but there is not One Sword.
"When will he get to mastered this sword technique?" he asks himself.
He then decided that he would go out into Jianghu again. Maybe he would get an inspiration and master the Sword Art before his teacher succ.u.mbed to his death.
Sword Residence is known as one of the strongest sword sect in the martial art worlds.
But their sect leader Fang Jian is about to die in a couple of years. The whole worlds know it. When Fang Jian travel to the state of Xia he was ambushed by the Elders of the Poison Valley.
Fang Jian killed all of them but he was afflicted with a potent poison, the Seven Year Death Poison.
Now there is only four years left of his seven.
Fang Jian knowing that he was going to die recalled back Zhu Yao to the Sword Residence to prepare him to become the Sect Leader of the Sword Residence.
It was then that he was shown the One Sword manual by the Sect leader, and he has been practicing it ever since. But there is no improvement at all.
As he was thinking of his teacher and his sect dire fate, one of his junior come to him after he finish his practice.
"Senior Bother Zhu. There is a news I think you would be interested in listening."
"What news?" Zhu Yao asked. There is hardly anything that could interest him these day other than mastering the One Sword technique and protect the sect when the Sect leader is gone.
His junior hesitated a bit, but then biting his lips, he shows him the List of Swordsman.
Zhu Yao frowned.
"Why are you showing me this?"
"The list has been updated"
"So?" He then sighed looking at his junior.
"I do not care about my ranking now. The sect is in dire strait right now. I could not care whether my ranking go up or not" He said slightly miffed that his junior is thinking that he is still caring about his ranking on the List of Swordsman when his own sect is slowly about to decline.
His junior then shakes his head and said
"That is not why I brought Senior Brother this list" Then he continued
"I think there is a chance for Senior Brother to comprehend the One Sword technique if you just look at the List"
Hearing this Zhu Yao become slightly interested
"What do you mean?"
"Look at the 30th ranking, Senior Brother Zhu"
Zhu Yao then look at the ranking and he saw the name Xi Feng.
He did not recognize any notable martial artist with the name of Xi Feng.
He read his accomplishment and it was amazing.
Even he would have a hard time of killing three elders of the heterodox sect. Especially if they come from Vulture Peak and Sun Devouring Sect.
But then he understands why his junior brother said there is a chance for him to comprehend the sword technique of One Sword.
"Sword Gentleman Xi Feng masters ten moves of the Flowing Sword Arts" He muttered as he read the report.
Zhu Yao of course knows about the legends of the Flowing Sword Arts.
Flowing Sword Arts, flowing like water, moving like the clouds, unpredictable like the wind, possessing thousands of variation, each move meeting it would be broken.
If he fought with the Sword Gentleman Xi Feng could he understand his own sword arts? One Sword and Flowing Sword Arts.
Both of their essence is different. One had millions of variation while the other one should only have one.
His mind seems to be thinking of something.
He then gives it back to his junior. He looks at the sky, closes his eyes for a moment before opening it back and sigh.
Then he said to his junior.
"Tell Sect leader, that I am leaving today. I need to go into Jianghu to master this move"
"Is Senior Brother going to Silhae?" Zhu Yao sighed and he nodded.
Then he walks off from the Sword Ground to the entrance gate of the Sword Residence and his back is slowly fading way
He did not even go back to his residence and pack. But this is the temperament of the one called Sword Monarch.
All he needs is the sword on his hand.
Meanwhile, the moment Zhu Yao come out from the Sword Residence, the whole martial art world knows about it.
Zhu Yao of the Sword Residence has come out from Ruo state to challenge Sword Gentleman Xi Feng at Silhae.
The news shook the martial arts world as more people is going to Silhae to watch the battle and event that is about to unfold in Five Element Mountains
