Chapter 1: Wielding the Sword

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

In Weapon Master’s Courtyard, Pingshan City, a handsome young man was steadily swinging his sword. He didn’t make any unnecessary movements but kept swinging the three-foot-long sword in his hand. He seemed to be practicing the most basic sword swing.

However, this person was the youngest Weapon Master in the Martial Suppression Division of PingsFhan City. Did he really need to practice these basic sword moves?

Su Yang kept swinging his sword. In the eyes of outsiders, he was just an ordinary sword wielder. Only the most basic apprentices would be like this. However, it was different in his eyes.

Every time he swung his sword, his sword intent proficiency would increase by one point. He had also relied on his sword to raise his sword intent to gain a foothold in this world.

With a thought, a virtual panel appeared in front of him. Only he could see this panel.

[Tianqin Sword]

[Sword Intent: LV10 (975/10000)]

[Sword Technique: None]

[Will of All Living Beings: 0]

He was a transmigrator from the Blue Planet. It had been exactly a month since he transmigrated to this ancient world. When he had just transmigrated, he had discovered this panel.

After some experiments, he had some understanding. This panel provided him with one crucial help: The correct swing of the sword could directly allow him to comprehend sword intent. As he continued to swing, his sword intent would continue to increase.

Other than the fact that wielding a sword could improve the sword, wielding other weapons could not obtain the corresponding intent realm.

He finally understood the sword intent. However, he still had no clue about the sword skills and the will of all living beings.

Fortunately, the sword intent could already allow him to settle down. There was one more thing that Su Yang did not understand: When he first came to this world, Su Yang could only see one panel. However, after he inherited the identity of the original owner’s father. He could always see wisps of white gas drifting in the air.

Only he could see the gas, probably because of the interface. However, so far, Su Yang had not figured out what the white gas was for. He could see it floating in the air, but he couldn’t reach it, touch it, or figure out the function of the gas.

Su Yang raised his head and glanced at the slowly floating white gas. Although he didn’t know what it was for, it didn’t affect him much.

Su Yang guessed that it might be related to sword techniques and the will of all living beings. After all, these were the only two things he did not understand.

His current Level 10 sword intent was able to slash through the air. It was not a problem for him to split a boulder as tall as a person with one sword strike.

Although this world was an ancient world, it was a world where one could cultivate. There were martial artists and cultivators, with the lowest realm being the ninth grade and the highest being the first grade.

In Pingshan City, the strongest cultivators were at the seventh grade. Su Yang’s current strength had already reached the seventh grade, and his power, solely derived from his comprehension of swordsmanship, allowed him to be on par with those at the seventh grade. This was also the reason why he was able to protect the identity left behind by the original owner’s father.

The status of a Weapon Master of the Martial Suppression Division was not completely inherited. It was only that the descendants could have priority in inheriting it. They could not depend on merit but on strength. If one was not strong enough, they could not inherit the identity of a Weapon Master.

To become the Weapon Master of Pingshan City, one needed to be at the eighth grade. During the assessment, Su Yang only displayed the strength of eighth grade.

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind and swung his sword in peace.

He wasn’t swinging his sword casually. He needed to swing his sword in the correct posture and in the correct path to increase his sword intent proficiency. Based on his current speed, he could probably swing four thousand swords in a day. Raising the sword intent, it would be a matter of two days.

…

“Bang!”

A residential house was kicked open with a booming sound. A group of Li family guards rushed in, and theirleader arrogantly surveyed the entire courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was an old man and a young man. The old man was about sixty years old, and the young one was a woman who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

When the woman saw someone barging in so rudely, she was instantly unhappy.

“Where did you come from? Why are you so rude and unreasonable?”

Li Heizi didn’t pay any attention to him. He just came in front of the old man and said with a smile: “Elder Liu, I wonder what my third young master wants you to consider?”

Liu Congshan’s eyes were filled with anger, but he could only suppress his anger as he looked at these strong men: “How dare you trespass in broad daylight? Aren’t you afraid that the authorities will arrest you? You guys are really bold!”

Li Heizi’s smile immediately disappeared. He said with a cold face, “Old man, I do not wish to waste time with you. Hand over the medicinal formula or refine medicine for my Li clan every day. Otherwise…You don’t want anything to happen to your granddaughter, do you?”

“As for the government…Old man, you’re not a three-year-old child anymore.”

At the end of his sentence, Li Heizi smiled evilly at the woman who had just spoken.

The woman had never seen such a scene. For a moment, she was embarrassed and angry.

After Liu Congshan heard this, the anger in his heart instantly disappeared as if it had been poured with cold water. He also knew that with the Li family’s status in Pingshan City, it was impossible for the government to help him.

The government…He was already in the same boat as the Li family.

At the thought of this, Liu Congshan’s entire body softened as if he was deflated. After a moment of silence, he spat out a word unwillingly, “Alright. But I can’t hand over the prescription.”

Li Heizi didn’t care when he heard that. He laughed and said: “Alright, then I’ll come and pick you up the next day. You can pack up now. Don’t think about running away, or else… I don’t know what will happen.”

Li Heizi waved his hand and left with his men proudly.

Liu Congshan felt sorrowful, and the suppressed anger rushed straight to his heart. His body could not help but sway a few times, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The woman hurriedly went forward to help him up, her expression anxious.”Grandpa, are you alright?”

Liu Congshan took two deep breaths before saying: “I’m fine… I wouldn’t die…However, this Li family…They go too far in bullying people!!”

“Doesn’t the government care about this kind of thing?” Liu Yurou asked in a deep voice.”

“Yurou…” Liu Congshan wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He just changed his words and said: “From tomorrow onwards, you will refine medicine with me.”

…

After Li Heizi completed the mission, he returned to the Li residence. At this moment, his expression had also completely changed. He was no longer arrogant and domineering but had become servile.

As they walked forward, he arrived in front of a luxuriously dressed noble young master. He bowed again and said respectfully: “Third young master, the matter you arranged has been settled.”

Li Ming said casually: “If you can’t even handle such a small matter, you don’t have to come back. Let that old fellow refine medicine for me. Otherwise…” There was no way for his family to survive in Pingshan City.”

Li Heizi nodded and bowed, obeying his orders.

…

Su Yang was waving his sword in peace, wanting to constantly improve his strength. Even though his strength was at the peak of the city, there were still people who were on par with him.

He didn’t need to fight to a draw, nor did he need to fight someone of a higher cultivation level. What he needed was to suppress his cultivation level.

Right at this moment, something unexpected happened. The white gas that had been floating in the air seemed to have been triggered at this moment and kept gathering. Soon, a portion of it formed a white bead.

The bead appeared in front of Su Yang. At the same time, the bead also brought a message.

[Will of All Beings: Eliminate Evil]

[Difficulty Level: LV6]

[Description: The third son of the Li family in Pingshan City, Li Ming, is a bully. He colludes with the government and acts wildly and tyrannically in Pingshan City.

[Requirements: Judge Li Ming]

[Reward: 1-6 wisps of Will of All Living Beings (Reward depends on completion rate)]

In the courtyard, Su Yang, who had finished reading all the information, paused. The sword in his hand stopped in mid-air, and his pupils constricted. The memories that he had deliberately avoided in his previous life kept flashing. His painful memories were brought back.

It was one night, and his parents drove him home as usual. However, an SUV was speeding toward them. The speed limit was at least 120 on a road with a speed limit of 70.

A disaster struck in an instant, and a car accident happened. After that, he was lucky enough to survive, but his parents unfortunately died. When encountering such a situation, one could only admit that they were unlucky.

At first, the case was settled normally, and the other party was fully responsible. Su Yang was also immersed in grief. However, after one night, everything was overturned. The other party’s full responsibility became his parents ‘full responsibility, and the other party’s speeding in the opposite direction became his parents’ speeding in the opposite direction.

“Why?” he asked in confusion.”

Later, Su Yang went around seeking justice, but there was no result. Instead, he was beaten and threatened several times. He would die.

From then on, Su Yang changed. He understood that in the face of the huge difference in status, what he wanted to do could not be done on the surface.

In his despair, he did not seek death. Instead, he lived a better life. Investigate the other party’s identity, background, and at the same time, work hard to train himself.

After a year of investigation and preparation. He knew that the other party was the biggest merchant in the area. After eating a few meals and giving some gifts, this matter was settled.

In the end, through his continuous planning, he successfully caused a big explosion in the other party’s villa and died with the other party’s entire family.

Unfortunately… He had not taken revenge on the person who had solved this matter for him. That was his greatest regret.

All kinds of thoughts kept gathering, and Su Yang gradually returned to reality from his memories. In the courtyard, Su Yang gripped the sword in his hand even tighter.

“There are powerful people in the world who do whatever they want. No one can stop them.”

“The collusion between the government and the merchants, the suffering of the commoners, nowhere to complain.”

“When I came to this world, I could easily obtain the power to seize the fortune of the world.”

“In that case…I have to do something.”

“If this world is like an abyss, then I will give the sword in my hand a name…Abysscleaver!”

“I, Su Yang, can’t care about all the injustice in the world, but if I encounter it, I will draw my sword and bring about justice!”
