Chapter - 46 Pale Shoulder As Though Adorned By Beautiful Plum Blossoms (11)

Xie Xun examined the saber currently lying inside the huge iron pot. Its ability to keep its natural color under so much heat certainly demonstrated the saber's value. He began to walk towards the pot.

Chang JinPeng saw his intentions, blocked the way, yelled, "Stop!" Xie Xun chuckled, said, "What do you want?" Chang JinPeng said, "This saber belongs to the Heavenly Eagle Sect. You can certainly examine it, but you cannot take it." Xie Xun said, "Did you make the sword? Or bought it?" Chang JinPeng could not respond. Xie Xun continued, "You also took it from someone else. So if I take it from you, it's hardly unfair. So why can't I do it?" As he spoke he went to grab the saber.

Chang JinPeng took out the watermelons from his waist, yelled, "Mr. Xie, if you don't stop right now, I shall be obligated to use force." Even as he spoke his warning, his watermelon had shot out. Xie Xun did not even turn around. He simply waved his mace behind him, blocked the watermelon and redirected it back towards Chang JinPeng. Chang JinPeng gasped, quickly threw out his other watermelon to block the one headed towards him. Unfortunately, Xie Xun's power is just too strong. Upon impact, the second watermelons changed its directions too, and both now came back towards him. In an instant, they hit Chang JinPeng directly on the chest, killing him instantly.

This sudden change of events shocked Chang JinPeng's five sub-leaders. They immediately attacked Xie Xun. Xie Xun's left hand grabbed the Dragon Saber, and then tipped over the iron pot with his mace. The fallen pot immediately hit three sub-leaders. Then it began to roll on the ground, hitting the other two. Four sub-leaders died immediately, while the fifth caught fire, and rolled on the ground in extreme pain.

Everyone's gasped at what has happened. Zhang CuiShan had seen many powerful fighters in the martial world, but never someone of Xie Xun's caliber. He knew that he has no chance against Xie Xun. Even his big brother and second brother would not likely defeat him either. Other than his master, Zhang CuiShan could not think of a second person that is this man's match.

Only to see Xie Xun examine the saber, lightly flicked it with his fingers. He nodded, said, "Amazing, amazing saber!" He raised his head, looked at sheath besides Bai GuiShou, said, "Is this the Dragon Saber's sheath? Give it to me."

Bai GuiShou realized that in this situation, he's pretty much likely to be dead no matter what. If he handed Xie Xun the sheath, his fame would go down the drain, and will likely die a terrible death when the sect leader finds out. But of course, to disobey this man would mean certain death right now. So he said, "If want to kill me, just go ahead. Do you think I am afraid of death?"

Xie Xun let out a smile, said, "Oh, a tough guy! Looks like there are some characters in the Heavenly Eagle Sect." Suddenly he threw the Dragon Saber towards Bai GuiShou. With the Dragon Saber coming at him, Bai GuiShou wouldn't dare block it with a weapon, nor try to catch it. He quickly evaded to the side. In a flash, 'swoosh', the saber entered the sheath on the table. It continued to fly forward with the momentum, until Xie Xun grabbed the saber with one of the spikes on his mace, causing it to fly backward, until it entered his hand again. Everyone was astonished by this strange way of sheathing a saber.

Xie Xun looked left and right, said, "Is there anyone else who object to me taking this saber?" He asked this question twice, without getting a single response.

Suddenly, a person from the Sea Sand Sect table rose, said, "Elder Xie is famous throughout the world. Of course, this saber should belong to Elder Xie. None of us would dare object." Xie Xun said, "You are the chief helmsman of the Sea Sand Sect Yuan ChangBuo, right?" That person said, "Yes." He was both happy and terrified that Xie Xun knew his name.

Xie Xun said, "Do you know who my teacher was? Which sect I belong to?" Yuan ChangBuo stuttered, "Well… Elder Xie…" Actually, he knows nothing about Xie Xun. Xie Xun said coldly, "If you don't know anything about me, then why do you say that I am famous throughout the world? I absolutely abhor people like you. Get out here!" His last sentence roared like thunder in everyone's ears. Yuan ChangBuo, scared of his power, obediently got up and stepped forward with his head down.

Xie Xun said, "The martial arts of the Sea Sand Sect is mediocre, but specializes in harming people using poisonous salt. Last year you killed Zhang DengYun's family in the town of Yu Tao. Just this last month you killed Sea Gate Sect's OYang Qin. Am I correct?" Yuan ChangBuo gasped, thought that considering how secretive these two cases were, how could Xie Xun have known about them? Xie Xun said, "Get your subordinate to bring out two large bowls of your salt. I want to see what it is." Everyone in the Sea Sand Sect carries poisonous salts with him. Yuan ChangBuo wouldn't dare disobey, so he could only ask his subordinates to bring out the salts, filling two large bowls.

Xie Xun picked up one bowl and smelled it, then said, "We'll each eat a bowl." He put the mace on the ground, picked up Yuan ChangBuo, held down his chin, and stuffed an entire bowl of the salt down his throat.

The deaths of the Zhang DengYuan family and OYang Qin were two unsolvable cases of the martial world in recent years. Both Zhang and OYang's reputations were quite good. No one knew that the Sea Sand Sect's Yuan ChangBuo killed them. Zhang CuiShan was actually happy to see him being force-fed poisonous salt.

Xie Xun picked up the other bowl, said, "I've always been a fair person. If you eat bowl, so will I." He opened his mouth and poured the whole bowl into his mouth.

No one expected this turn of events. Zhang CuiShan saw that although he's quite vicious, Xie Xun had quite a bit of righteousness in him. Besides, the people he's been killing were all terrible people anyway. Overall, Xie Xun left a favorable impression in Zhang CuiShan's mind. At this moment, Zhang CuiShan couldn't help but yell, "Elder Xie, this person deserves to die. You don't need to be fair with him." Xie Xun turned to look at him, asked, "Who are you?" Zhang CuiShan said, "I am Wu Dang's Zhang CuiShan." Xie Xun said, "Oh, Fifth Hero Zhang of Wu Dang. Are you also here to take the Dragon Saber?" Zhang CuiShan shook his head, said, "I came to look for more information regarding my third brother's injury. If you know something about this, please tell me."

Before Xie Xun could respond, Yuan ChangBuo screamed in pain, held his stomach tightly while rolling back and forth on the ground. After a while, he stopped struggling, and died. Zhang CuiShan quickly said, "Elder Xie. Hurry up and take an antidote."

Xie Xun said, "What's the need? Give me some wine!" The Heavenly Eagle Sect member responsible for taking care of guests quickly brought a bottle of wine over. Xie Xun said, "Is the Heavenly Eagle Sect this stingy? Give me a big bowl!" That person then brought a big bowl and courteously put it in front of Xie Xun, but thought, "Drinking wine right after being poisoned, are you afraid that you won't die quickly enough?"

Only to see Xie Xun chug the whole bowl down his throat. This bowl held at least twenty-some pounds of wine, yet he managed to drink it all up in one gulp. He patted his stomach, opened his mouth, and a streak of liquid came out, hitting Bai GuiShou's chest. Bai GuiShou felt like being hit by continuous streaks of iron pellets. Despite his high inner power, Bai GuiShou eventually began to falter, and then fell to the ground, unconscious.
