Chapter 49: Sword Protector
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
“That’s not necessary.” Gu Xiu smiled and shook his head. He had cald down at this mont, realizing that he had been a little out of line earlier. “However, it is not a wise move for you to refuse so cleanly.”
“How about we exchange a few moves?” he suggested, “After you experience a stronger sword intent, then you can make your decision?”
Gu Xiu felt that Su Yang had just never felt the power of a strong person.
He did not know what a Grandmaster was. That was why he didn’t agree directly.
“Sure.” Su Yang was eager to give it a try. He wanted to find a Grandmaster to practice and see what level his strength was at. It seed like soone had delivered themselves to their doorstep.
“Young friend, be careful!”
Gu Xiu moved as soon as he finished speaking. His sword intent burst out and enveloped the entire courtyard. The terrifying sword intent was like a majestic force that crushed toward Su Yang. His aura and sword intent fused into one. Gu Xiu planned to suppress Su Yang with these two aspects.
He wanted to let Su Yang know what the gap is!
Just as Gu Xiu’s sword intent was about to hit Su Yang like a wave, the sword intent on Su Yang’s body also erupted. Su Yang’s sword intent soared into the sky, vast and brilliant like stars.
If the sword intent released by Gu Xiu was a tidal wave… Su Yang’s was a tsunami!
A world of difference, incomparable!
Because he was facing a grandmaster level sword cultivator, Su Yang did not dare to be careless and naturally attacked with his full strength.
But this move was extraordinary… Not only did it instantly block Gu Xiu’s sword intent attack, but it also sent Gu Xiu flying.
After all, he was different from Su Yang, who did not know his own strength and did not know his limits. Gu Xiu just wanted to catch Su Yang. After cultivating to his level, he naturally knew how much strength he should use. However, the terrifying sword intent that ca out of Su Yang’s body instantly stunned him.
He only managed to stabilize himself after flying a few ters. But from the trembling pupils of Gu Xiu, it was evident that his inner state was extrely unsettled.
“Sword intent that surpasses the first level! Just his intent alone can fight against a grandmaster… This… this is the third level of sword intent?”
Gu Xiu was stunned.
The concept levels were divided into nine layers. The first level could allow one to enter the grandmaster realm. The second level allowed one to enter the martial grandmaster realm, and the third level allowed one to enter Celestial Phenonon!
As for him, he was still stuck at the first level of sword intent. But what kind of monster was this young man in front of him?
The third level of sword intent, even the Sect Master was only at the third level of sword intent…
Didn’t that an that in the Sky Sword Sect, only the Grand Elder could compare to this person?
However, the Grand Elder still had a few years to live, and the life of this young man in front of him was just beginning…
If he could feel the high-level sword intent beside Su Yang from ti to ti, it would be even more beneficial for his comprehension of sword intent.
In the Sky Sword Sect, it was not that easy to feel the third level of the sect master’s sword intent.
More importantly, the formation of sword intent usually required one’s own comprehension. For example, wind, fire, thunder, water…
Combined with one’s own character, fiery, calm, domineering, eloquent, able to cut down everything…
In short, everyone’s comprehension was different, and the sword intent they understood would also be different.
Even if one could impart their understanding to others, if the paths of sword intent were different, the assistance would not be significant, at most providing inspiration.
But just now, he felt that the sword intent on Su Yang’s body was extrely clean and pure. It was like a piece of white paper that was not stained with any paint!
If it were given to soone practicing swordsmanship, it could make their comprehension of sword intent much easier.
For example, if his Sky Sword Mountain could have such a sword stone for his disciples to comprehend sword intent, then the number of disciples of Sky
Sword Mountain who comprehended sword intent would increase from 10% to 50%!
And for him, if he could spend so ti each day sensing this sword intent, he could comprehend the second layer of sword intent without going through any life-and-death trials, thereby stepping into the level of a grandmaster.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiu’s eyes completely changed, becoming fervent!
At this mont, Su Yang’s body was enveloped in sword intent. He was eager to fight Gu Xiu.
However, that old man was lying there motionless after being struck and sent flying by him, with a dazed look on his face. He didn’t know what had happened to him.
Could he have hit a vital point with that strike? Su Yang felt a bit worried. Did he offend this old man unintentionally?
Just as Su Yang was about to go forward to check, Gu Xiu suddenly stood up and ca to Su Yang. But he didn’t say anything, which made Su Yang feel a bit creeped out.
What was this old man trying to do?
Gu Xiu’s chest kept rising and falling as he suppressed his extre excitent. Even if he had lived for sixty to seventy years and had seen countless scenes. In the face of a higher level of cultivation, he still couldn’t contain his excitent.
Age, experience, and maturity only ant that soone had experienced many firsts. When you saw the sa scene for the second ti, you would not be excited. However, at Su Yang’s age, it was also his first ti seeing soone who had comprehended the third level of sword intent.
“I want to observe your sword intent daily, my young friend. What are the conditions?” Gu Xiu took the initiative to ask. As long as it was within his capabilities, he wouldn’t refuse.
The thod to break through was right in front of him, and Gu Xiu would not miss it.
Su Yang was speechless.
“You said… you wanted to experience a stronger sword intent, right???”
Gu Xiu’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “It was my overestimation. It should be you who wanted to see a stronger sword intent.”
Although Gu Xiu’s expression remained unchanged, his mouth was almost twitching.
Before he made his move, he still wanted Su Yang to know what the gap was. In the end…The gap was obvious. The gap between him and Su Yang was indeed vast.
This sudden reversal caught Su Yang off guard.
Su Yang was still unwilling to let such a person follow him all of a sudden. He was a little resistant. But when he saw the burning desire in Gu Xiu’s eyes, Su Yang felt a headache.
However, he quickly thought of sothing. It wouldn’t hurt to let this guy observe the sword intent, but he needed to be useful. Currently, he was alone, without anyone capable of fighting by his side.
Having a grandmaster-level companion wouldn’t be bad.
“Well then, if you want to observe the sword intent, it’s possible, but you must follow and obey my commands. As for the duration… how long do you think you’ll live?”
Su Yang looked at the other person, with his appearance of gray hair and wrinkled face, he seed to belong to his grandfather’s generation.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu smiled and said, “Although I am old, after reaching the grandmaster realm, my lifespan increased by two hundred years. I still have a hundred good years ahead of .”
Su Yang’s eyes widened suddenly. Yes… this was a fantasy world, perhaps even a world of cultivation.
Moreover, whether in martial arts or cultivation, practicing would increase one’s lifespan, it was just a matter of how much.
Lifespan…Although he was not in a hurry, he could still pay attention to it and see if there was a way to solve his own problem.
Su Yang was not too worried. With the speed of his sword intent growth, it was only a matter of ti before he solved this problem.
Seeing that Su Yang was silent for a long ti, Gu Xiu took the initiative to say, “What do you think, young friend? How about I be your sword protector?” “What is a Sword Guardian?” Su Yang did not quite understand.
“Well… it ans what you said, following you and obeying your commands,” Gu Xiu explained clearly, then looked at Su Yang expectantly.
“That’s acceptable. How long is the duration?” Su Yang decided to accept this guy. It was so easy to obtain a grandmaster-level sparring partner, why not?
“The duration is usually ten years, but if you feel it’s not enough, it can be extended,” Gu Xiu replied honestly. He spoke his mind without fearing any adverse consequences.
“Uh…” Su Yang was also stunned. Were sword cultivators really this honest?
“There’s no need to extend. Ten years is enough.”
“Then, from this mont on, I, Gu Xiu, will be Su Yang’s sword protector. For the next ten years, I will obey Su Yang’s commands. I cannot refuse except for committing cris or crossing the bottom line. Otherwise, the sword will destroy and the person will die!”
Seeing that Su Yang agreed, Gu Xiu imdiately stated his words formally.
“Haha-” Su Yang laughed, “Alright, there’s a side room over here. If you want to rest here, you can stay. It’s getting late, so please don’t bother with discussions about comprehending sword intent.”
“I will follow your instructions,” Gu Xiu replied, no longer in a hurry, smiling to indicate his understanding.
There was still a long way to go. Now that he had beco Su Yang’s sword protector, what was there to be anxious about?
Su Yang did not care about this guy. He ca mysteriously, did mysterious things, and ended up becoming his companion mysteriously.
In fact, how could all of this be considered mysterious?
Everything had a cause and effect.
If Su Yang had not co forward to stop the battle in the martial world, if he had not revealed his sword intent, if he had not beco famous… then Gu Xiu would not know him at all.
If Su Yang’s sword intent was not incomparably powerful, Gu Xiu wouldn’t have paid attention to him at all, let alone beco his sword protector like now.
Reputation was important no matter what era it was, and fa was like a postcard of a person walking outside.
