Crossing the Sword

Chapter 159: Sword Forging by the Stream

Ye Shisan and Ling Fei were fighting. After a fight in the hurricane, Ye Shisan was injured by Ling Fei's strong internal force, and his power was blocked. But at the same time, Ye Shisan also injured Ling Fei's right hand, which affected his spear skills. When everyone was imagining the specific process of the duel, Ling Fei suddenly put down the Wuxiang Divine Spear, sat cross-legged on the spot, and said seriously: "The sword is poisonous! The leaders of the four flags, protect me. Everyone else, please do not hurt Princess Baiyu's hair." After saying that, a light green wood spirit energy was already surrounding his body, and he began to use his power.

Ye Shisan was stunned at first when he saw this, then he immediately pulled Bai Yu and flew away.

The four flag leaders, under the order of Ling Fei's guardian, could not chase after him, and could only stand in front, behind, left and right of Ling Fei, alert all around. Although they knew that no one would attack Ling Fei at this time, they still habitually executed Ling Fei's orders without hesitation. Except for Tang Yu who was a little disappointed about Ye Shisan's escape, the other three generals thought there was nothing wrong with it. After all, Ye Shisan had already won their respect in the process of suppressing bandits. As for the poison on the weapons, it was not a big deal for those of them who often led troops to fight.

As for their soldiers, without their orders, no one chased after Ye Shisan and the others. Besides, even if they chased after them, it would be in vain.

The two flew more than ten miles away. Bai Yu suddenly shook off Ye Shisan's hand and angrily asked Ye Shisan, "Brother, how could you do this? I wanted to help you before, but you refused. But you poisoned the weapon yourself. Do you think that doing this is more upright than hiding behind a woman?"

Ye Shisan smiled without answering, and fell back to the ground.

Bai Yu hurriedly followed him, knowing that his tone was indeed a bit too harsh, so he softened his momentum and said softly, "Brother, I'm sorry, I know I was a bit too harsh just now, please don't be angry with me." Seeing Ye Shisan smiled slightly, he hurriedly asked, "What kind of poison did you put on the sword? Can you force it out successfully if you use your own power?"

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Ye Shisan turned his head and said sarcastically, "I think he also beat me up and made me vomit blood. Why don't you show any concern for me? You only miss your senior brother. Alas, a senior brother and a sworn brother, both are brothers, why is there such a big gap between them?"

Bai Yu saw how he deserved a beating and really wanted to use lightning to greet him. However, seeing the residual blood at the corner of his mouth, he held back and said, "Brother, it's already this time and you still only know how to laugh at others. What's the condition of Senior Brother's poison? You don't want to see him get hurt, do you? Otherwise, you can give me the antidote and I will send it back to him. They won't dare to embarrass me."

Ye Shisan didn't expect that she was so naive. She still didn't understand until now. He had no choice but to explain: "There is no antidote for that poison. As long as we can leave smoothly, Brother Ling's poison will be forced out of his body in no time. If we don't leave immediately, his poison may take some time to heal."

"What do you mean?" Bai Yu seemed dissatisfied with Ye Shisan's explanation, but immediately his eyes lit up and he said, "Brother, you mean that there is no poison on your sword at all!"

Ye Shisan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Finally got it? Haha, I'm not Sun Qing, how could I possibly put poison on my sword? That's something most masters would disdain to do. And I'm using the Imperial Sword bestowed by Emperor Yan. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to Emperor Yan if I put poison on it?"

Bai Yu also understood and continued, "Brother claimed to be poisoned just to let you go."

Ye Shisan nodded and said, "With this excuse, he can let us leave openly. Even if we don't leave at that time, he will let me leave safely in exchange for me handing over the medicine. Instead of that, it's better to leave immediately, so that he won't have to act for a while. After all, with Sun Qing, a master of poison, around, it's easy to reveal our true colors."

The reason why Ye Shisan wanted to keep Bai Yu in suspense and let her figure it out herself was because in his opinion, Bai Yu was too naive, so naive that it was a little scary. In his opinion, Fuxi couldn't protect her forever, and since he had become her sworn brother, he had the obligation to teach her some human relationships and cultivate her independent thinking ability. Zhang Tianya's actions could be considered well-intentioned.

Bai Yu lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, brother. I wronged you just now."

Ye Shisan was injured and vomited blood when fighting with Ling Fei. Although Ling Fei showed mercy, his injury was not serious. But after vomiting blood, the taste in his mouth still felt strange. He calmed down and took out the water bag. Before he had time to drink, he heard Bai Yu apologize, so he joked: "If apologies are useful, why do we need constables? If you don't want me to be angry, show some sincerity." He was joking of course, but at the same time he also wanted Bai Yu to do him a favor.

Bai Yu naively thought that he was really angry, so she hurried forward and shook his arm, saying coquettishly, "Brother, don't be angry. At most, I will listen to you in everything from now on, isn't that enough?"

"Puff!" Ye Shisan just spit out the water he had just taken. Then he said to Bai Yu seriously, "You can't just say the last sentence 'I'll do whatever you say' casually, you know? Of course I don't have any bad intentions, but if it's someone else, what would you do if they asked you to marry me?"

The two flew for about a thousand miles and were already in the territory of Taihao State. Beside a relatively secluded valley stream, Bai Yu was using Samadhi True Fire to forge a piece of metal of moderate size. He said to Ye Shisan, who had already prepared a hammer and a pillow iron, "Brother, don't you have an imperial sword? Why do you need to forge your own sword?"

Ye Shisan shrugged helplessly and said, "But I have to participate in the competition, and it is not suitable to use the Imperial Sword. So, I plan to forge one myself before the competition." In fact, he was also worried that the Imperial Sword would be damaged. In fact, when he dueled with Ling Fei, the Imperial Sword was almost broken several times when it faced Ling Fei's Wuxiang Divine Spear. Thanks to Ling Fei's mercy, it was saved.

At the same time, Ling Fei also deliberately injured him under his sword. Otherwise, even if he fought with his moves alone, Ye Shisan might not be able to defeat Ling Fei, who had incorporated the true meaning of the Five Elements into his spearmanship. Moreover, with the protection of the Five Elements Domain, with Ye Shisan's current cultivation, even if he successfully found the flaws in his spearmanship, it would be difficult to break through his defense.

The upcoming martial arts competition will feature young elites from various countries, so there is no guarantee that there won't be immortal-level weapons. Although he is confident that the Shangfang Sword will be safe, it was, after all, a gift from Emperor Yan and a token of his identity, and absolutely no room for error.

At this time, the essence of the five metals had begun to deform under the calcination of the Samadhi True Fire, and under the control of Bai Yu, it gradually began to turn into the shape of a sword embryo.
