Chapter 12: Teaching Swordsmanship

Imperial Capital, Heavenly City.

It was night, and the lights of thousands of families illuminated the city.

A piece of news swept through the entire capital like a tidal wave.

From the imperial family to commoners, everyone knew about it.

Upon hearing the news, everyone was deeply shocked.

Liu Jianli, the proud daughter of the Liu family, returned from the Myriad Sword Sect. Due to a breakthrough failure, her own sword energy rebounded, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair!

Initially, some people doubted the authenticity of the news. However, when the royal physician left the Liu residence, rushing back to the imperial city on a galloping horse with a solemn expression, everyone knew the news was probably true.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

It was as if a drop of water had fallen into a hot oil pan—the entire Heavenly City boiled.

You see, Liu Jianli was a rare talent in a thousand years. Even the Sect Master of the Myriad Sword Sect admitted that she would inevitably become a Sword God in the future.

However, fate was jealous of such talent!

Inside the imperial palace, Emperor Mingde, after hearing the royal physician’s report, was furious. “Worthless! All of you are useless! According to what you’re saying, Liu Jianli’s injuries are beyond cure?”

The royal physician knelt on the ground, trembling all over. “Reporting to Your Majesty, Liu Jianli’s meridians were shattered by thunder and penetrated by sword energy. Her meridians are completely severed, causing her lower body to lose sensation. Although the Sect Master of the Myriad Sword Sect has removed all the sword energy inside her, the shattered meridians are too numerous, and some are entangled together. Attempting to reset them one by one, reconnecting them, is beyond human capability. Moreover, a slight mistake could lead to Liu Jianli’s death! So...”

The physician’s words trailed off there.

Just as Emperor Mingde was about to erupt in anger, at this very moment, Duke Liu appeared.

Emperor Mingde seemed contemplative. He dismissed everyone else, leaving only Duke Liu.

That night, no one knew what Duke Liu and Emperor Mingde talked about.

It wasn’t until the next day that a significant piece of news spread from the Liu family.

Liu Jianli was to be married off to Jinyang City!

And the groom was from the Qin family—Qin Feng!

In Jinyang City, as the sun rose in the east, Qin Feng was once again awakened by the sound of swordplay in the courtyard.

Starting on the wrong path made it no wonder that Qin An, at the seventh rank, was not making progress.

“Young brother, stop for a moment.”

Qin An put down his narrow blade and asked curiously, “Big brother, what’s wrong?”

“The ‘Leaf-cutting Sword’ is of little use to you now. Apart from this sword technique, do you have any other ones to study?”

Qin An shook his head, “Martial arts techniques are precious treasures in the world, and my father spent a lot of money to find this sword technique. Where else can I find another one?”

Qin Feng contemplated with his head down, understanding the situation.

In Great Qian, martial arts were in abundance. However, most major sects and families were reluctant to share their unique skills, which resulted in a scarcity of martial arts techniques available for learning.

“The Great Qin Dynasty, vast and fertile, produces outstanding talents, but it is always shrouded in the shadow of demons and monsters for a reason.” Wait a minute, Qin Feng suddenly realized something, his eyes widening.

“Yesterday, in the Listen To Rain Pavilion, I read many books, and there seemed to be quite a few martial arts techniques?” Qin Feng closed his eyes in thought and quickly found the most suitable sword technique for Qin An at the moment — “Heavenly Astral Essence Slash”! This technique focused on gathering energy to puncture the opponent, emphasizing strength over speed, precisely what Qin An needed now!

“Younger brother, come over here, I will teach you a new sword technique.”

“Big brother, are you serious?” Qin An was skeptical, walking closer.

“Of course, why would I lie to you?” Although I say this, this sword technique only exists in my mind. How can I teach it to my younger brother?

After much thought, Qin Feng shifted his gaze to the narrow blade in Qin An’s hand, a plan forming in his mind.

Even though I haven’t condensed my energy, I can practice the sword technique and then tell him the techniques of channeling the energy. This way, I can teach him the sword technique.

Confident in his plan, Qin Feng spoke, “Let me borrow your sword; I’ll demonstrate the technique for you.”

“Big brother, this sword is a bit heavy. I’m afraid you...”

“Hmm? Just a narrow blade. Do you really think scholars are all weaklings? Give it to me!”

“Alright.”

Qin An handed over the narrow blade. When he let go of it, at that instant...

Qin Feng felt his arm bearing a heavy load, and his entire body fell along with the hilt, lowering him by a good measure.

“Big brother!!!”
