King of Assassins
Chapter 96 - 95 Divine Servant

Chapter 96: Chapter 95 Divine Servant

The banquet reached this point, and naturally it couldn’t continue any further.

When a large contingent from the Law Enforcement Department arrived, everyone began to leave the venue.

These people were either wealthy or noble, so the Law Enforcement Department didn’t dare to question much, instead, they sent people to safely escort everyone home.

Upon leaving the Golden Dragon Pavilion, Fang Zheng didn’t let the Law Enforcement Department escort him; he and Jiang Yuan slowly walked away along the long street.

Qingyi Fei Niao caught up from behind with Qingyi Qianhe, who solemnly thanked Fang Zheng. They expressed gratitude to the elder for casting a sword for Qingyi Fei Niao.

The changes at the banquet tonight happened too quickly, and Qingyi Qianhe hadn’t had a chance to speak with Fang Zheng.

As a famous swordsman in Mingjing City, Qingyi Qianhe was also familiar with Fang Zheng. Both had great insights into the Sword Dao, so they could have quite a discussion together.

Especially regarding tonight’s sword duel, there were countless topics worth discussing.

"Bai Yuncheng is indeed very strong, and the Heartless Sword specifically attacks Divine Intent, which is even more exquisite."

Fang Zheng recalled the night’s battle and still felt quite emotional.

Heartless Sword Bai Yuncheng was very arrogant, but they had the ability to match their arrogance.

There were so many people attending the banquet tonight, yet none together could match the Heartless Sword.

Fang Zheng had seen several Tenth-level Swordsmen before, but this was the first time he deeply understood the strength of the top swordsmen. There is indeed a fundamental difference from ordinary swordsmen.

Qingyi Qianhe also nodded, "Bai Yuncheng is extremely, extremely strong. The Heartless Sword is no ordinary thing."

"It certainly must be a marvel without a doubt."

Fang Zheng confidently said, "Just a sword artifact alone can’t possibly dominate the entire scene on its own."

As a swordsmith master, Fang Zheng was too familiar with sword artifacts. As soon as the Sword Intent of the Heartless Sword emerged, he knew something was amiss.

Jiang Yuan said, "That blood-colored Sword Light the masked swordsman unleashed at the end should also be a marvel."

The Godslaying Sword, pure as light, even without understanding sword casting, one could see that the Godslaying Sword was definitely no ordinary sword artifact.

Fang Zheng pondered a moment and said, "That sword artifact is very much like the legendary Godslaying Sword."

The Godslaying Sword, after all, is a marvelous sword artifact. As a swordsmith master, Fang Zheng had heard many legends about the Godslaying Sword.

Of course, he had only heard of it and had never seen it in person.

However, that blood-colored sword artifact was as though light and illusion, leaving a deep impression. Fang Zheng naturally associated it with the Godslaying Sword.

"The Godslaying Sword? What is said about it?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

Fang Zheng shook his head, "It was said to have the power to kill Divinities. But the specifics are not too clear. Legend has it that it’s an extremely ferocious weapon, every sword master who possessed it would eventually be killed by the sword. This sword disappeared completely after being passed down for a period."

He thought for a moment and said, "I heard these rumors when I was young. Haven’t heard anything about the Godslaying Sword for at least forty to fifty years."

Qingyi Qianhe thoughtfully said, "So, that person relies on the power of the Godslaying Sword, that’s why the sword can be unbelievably fast?"

"That can’t be said for certain."

Fang Zheng’s swordsmanship couldn’t match that of Qingyi Qianhe, but his understanding of the Sword Dao surpassed Qingyi Qianhe.

Qingyi Qianhe focused on his own Sword Dao, being a practical swordsman. Fang Zheng, however, was well-versed with various schools, being a Sword Dao theorist. He was also a renowned editor-in-chief of a special publication on Sword Dao.

Fang Zheng said, "The masked swordsman’s sword strikes were extremely fierce and rapid. It wasn’t just simply fast; it contained the profound mysteries of high-level swordsmanship. Just in terms of swordsmanship, he’s already a top swordsman of this era. There’s no doubt about it!"

Thinking about the swordsman killing the first in Bai Yuncheng, it was truly like lightning and thunder, swift and unmatched. Killing Bai Yuncheng was like slaughtering a chicken.

Such swordsmanship was truly terrifying to the extreme.

Fang Zheng thought through all the swordsmen of this era, yet couldn’t think of anyone who exclusively pursued the Quick Sword path and could cultivate Quick Sword to such an extent.

Qingyi Qianhe gave Fang Zheng a deep bow and said with some regret, "Elder Fang, I have a question. With such prowess, why would the swordsman become a sneaky assassin without relying on the power of external aids?"

Jiang Yuan also nodded, "It’s indeed unreasonable."

Top swordsmen are respected wherever they go. Why bother becoming a sneaky assassin?

Just like Bai Yuncheng, those believers of the Evil God can walk openly in all directions, with no one daring to slight them.

Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "There are always unreasonable things in this world, and people who defy logic. There’s no need to delve too deeply into their reasons."

This explanation was obviously unconvincing, at least Qingyi Qianhe didn’t agree. Relying on the power of marvelous things and one’s own high-level swordsmanship are two different matters.

Qingyi Qianhe felt that even though the masked swordsman was terrifying, they relied on external things and weren’t worth respecting.

Fang Zheng noticed Qingyi Qianhe’s thoughts. He pondered a moment and said, "Did you notice that from the moment he entered the door, that person walked a total of only thirty steps. Ten steps to kill White Mirror, another ten steps to kill multiple guards, and the last ten steps to kill Bai Yuncheng."

Qingyi Qianhe and Jiang Yuan were still pondering over this when Qingyi Fei Niao uttered, "Killing one in ten steps, never leaving for a thousand miles."

Fang Zheng smiled approvingly, "Exactly."

Qingyi Qianhe and Jiang Yuan suddenly realized. Such deliberate correspondence to the poem already demonstrated that he completely controlled the situation.

This control was entirely due to high-level combat awareness, unrelated to the strong marvels. Thus, it was evident that his swordsmanship attainment was indeed extraordinarily high.

In reality, there were many details throughout the entire battle that showcased the swordsman’s prowess.

Fang Zheng, however, didn’t want to speak any further, lest Qingyi Qianhe’s face appeared unpleasant. He sighed deeply, "With this person emerging, Mingjing City is truly about to undergo a great upheaval."

Jiang Yuan and Qingyi Qianhe were both startled with fright, indeed, with Wei Yue having such a super assassin as his aide, who in Mingjing City would dare oppose him?

Jiang Yuan and Qingyi Qianhe had relatively detached statuses and weren’t very closely related to the top aristocrats in Mingjing City. They weren’t so sensitive to power struggles, their reaction was therefore a bit slow.
