Chapter 53: The Contempt of Jiuzhu Sword

  With a wave of his hand, he let out a loud whistle and the eighty or ninety black-clad masked men who had gathered around immediately formed a neat and tidy formation. In the blink of an eye, a row of bronze walls and iron fortresses appeared before everyone's eyes, their majestic momentum revealing the elite nature of these people.

  The old man and the remaining four guards all had a dreamy feeling.

  As the situation was on the verge of collapse, with the other side about to gain the upper hand, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of anger and suffocation. Just when all seemed lost, Chu Yang suddenly grabbed someone and shouted for both sides to stop!

  Unexpectedly, the other party actually stopped!

  It wasn't until now, listening to them talk, that I realized the person they caught was actually the commander of this team!

  My god! This is too coincidental! Too awesome!

  In a critical moment, he single-handedly infiltrated the enemy's camp, captured the enemy commander, and calmly returned under siege. With one person's power, he suddenly turned the tide of battle... Is this a myth? Or is it a legend?

  It seems like I've never heard of such a thing in real life!

  Everyone's gaze at Chu Yang changed instantly.

  "There's something I want to say to... him." The black-robed masked man looked at Chu Yang: "I need to confirm that he is still alive."

  "No problem." Chu Yang replied readily and slapped a palm on the back of the big man, a cold and icy aura entering his body through the center of his palm.

  The big man shuddered all over, and suddenly came to his senses. Seeing clearly the situation he was in, he suddenly became furious. Struggling, he shouted: "What are you waiting for? Don't kill them?"

  "But you..."

  "Mind your own business!" The big man said angrily: "At a time like this, why bother about my life?"

  "Your Excellency, your turban is still tied. Moreover, you have already lost. In this situation, even if you order to perish together with us, do you think it's possible? Will your subordinates follow?"

  That big fellow's face turned red with rage and he cursed loudly: "Bastard! Who are you? Defeated? What qualifications do you have to say that I'm defeated?"

  "My qualifications are......" Chu Yang said with arrogance: "......Now you're in my hands! I'm the knife, and you're just fish meat!"

  The big man let out a sudden, violent gasp, his eyes flashing with intense humiliation and resentment. Suddenly, he jerked his neck violently and charged towards the sword's blade!

  A cry of surprise arose.

  Chu Yang sneered and with a single hand, he lifted him up, spinning his body around in a circle. With a loud kick, he planted his foot firmly on the other's buttocks, saying viciously: "If you don't listen to me again, even if you die, I'll still remove your face mask, strip off your clothes and hang you from the flagpole of Iron Cloud City! You can try it out, see if I can or cannot do it!"

  That big man's whole body shook and finally calmed down. He was not afraid of death, but the method Chu Yang mentioned was thoroughly vicious!

  Considering his reputation in the Iron Cloud Nation, if he were to die and still be humiliated like this, it would truly be unbearable! Not to mention, there's also the family's reputation, the military's honor...

  "Alright, alright." He let out a long sigh: "What you're asking for is nothing more than to safely arrive at Iron Cloud City. I'll agree to it and won't intercept you again!"

  "But I don't trust you!" Chu Yang said coldly: "So, we still need you to escort us personally for a while!"

  "You!" The big man suddenly turned around, glaring at Chu Yang with anger in his eyes.

  Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat. In those eyes, there was an aura of power to kill or spare, endless coldness, as well as a haughty disdain for life and death.

  This is absolutely a person of high status and great power!

  "Don't glare at me. Once we're safe, I'll let you go. I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you on this trip, nor will I expose your identity. Not even to myself." Chu Yang said calmly: "I don't believe in your promise, but now you can only trust me."

  He paused for a moment and said faintly: "You have no other choice!"

  The big Han stared at him for half a day, suddenly hummed and waved his hand: "You all go. I'll follow them to play together."

  "Let me take my brother's place!" The black-clad, masked man at the front suddenly took a step forward, and with a loud clang, he threw his large knife to the ground. He walked over with open arms: "I'll take my brother's place! I guarantee that on our way, I will listen to you. Please be assured, although my weight is different from my brother's, we will definitely keep our promise."

  "Damn it! Get out of my sight!" Chu Yang's face turned red with rage, and he thundered: "You want to infuriate me to death? I'll have your whole family executed when I get back, and wipe out your entire clan! How dare you cause trouble in front of me? Scram! Scram!"

  "Take your stuff, he's coming for it! Scram, scram, get out of here!" The big man cursed loudly: "What's with you guys? You think it's funny to see me in this state, don't you? Get out of here, now!"

  Under his scolding, dozens of people on the opposite side finally retreated reluctantly.

  "Listen up! If any of you dare to touch a single hair on my brother's head, I swear that even if our nine clans are exterminated, we will search every nook and cranny of the world and tear you into pieces!"

  The man in black clothes and a mask shouted loudly and then walked away with three glances back, soon disappearing into the dense forest.

  Watching them finally retreat, Chu Yang also exhausted his strength and sat down on the ground with a thud. Both hands were trembling as he stretched into his collar to grab the Purple Crystal Jade Core, ready to circulate his energy to recover his vitality.

  A tyrannical thought rose up, and the sword soul of Jiuxing Sword appeared in mid-air, blocking his intentions.

  Chu Yang was speechless for a moment, and in his heart, he cursed loudly: "Damn it! You didn't even put in any effort during the battle earlier, and now you're not even letting me recover!"

  "Just now in the battle, you didn't use the power of Jiuxing Sword at all. How can I help you? I'm just assisting you, not taking over your body. Whether it's physical or mental, the one who occupies the dominant position is always you, Chuyang, not Jiuxing Sword. You need to understand this point. Besides, when you're completely exhausted and recover on your own strength, that's when you can break through the limit and improve your skills. If you let this useless piece of jade help you recover, what's the point of breaking through?"

  Chu Yang never expected the Nine Tribulations Sword to respond to him, and even more so, he didn't expect this guy to suddenly pop out and say such a long passage, leaving him stunned.

  Amethyst jade marrow, a treasure of the ages; in this sword soul's mouth, it actually became a "damn piece of jade that's only good for being heavy and obstructing the view, with no other use whether in summer or winter"!

  "Wait till you solve the mystery of your life, I'll be the first to swallow this damn jade! So much energy can only be watched and not absorbed, it's infuriating!" Jian Hun said a few words in indignation, without waiting for Chu Yang's response, he fell into silence again.

  Whoa!

  Chu Yang's eyes widened in shock. It turned out that this guy had been eyeing this jade marrow all along!

  "Now you can also absorb it. No one is stopping you from absorbing." Chu Yang said tentatively.

  "What are you going to find your parents with? Are you going to wander around the world naked?" Jiuxing Sword Soul angrily shouted, muttering: "For tens of thousands of years, I haven't found a suitable host, and now that I've finally found one, it's actually such a stupid fool!"

  "Who are you calling stupid?" Chu Yang was thoroughly enraged, his small universe suddenly exploding. He let out a loud roar, his eyebrows standing on end, his hair bristling with rage. "Damn it, in all my past and present lives, no one has ever dared to call me that! You're just a sword, how dare you become like this?! Is this something that can be tolerated or not?!"

  "I... I didn't scold you." A hoarse voice sounded.

  The old man approached Chu Yang with a complex expression, just about to thank him, but unexpectedly the other person suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out: Who do you think is stupid?

  The old man was completely stunned. Did I scold you? I haven't even started speaking well yet?
