Liu Jiantang then looked at Xiao Yuhan, "Junior brother, have you tried the power of this sword?"
Xiao Yuhan frowned slightly and said with some difficulty, "I'm a little afraid of breaking this sword. It seems a bit flimsy."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiantang looked incredulous, because he had been in charge of the entire process from material selection to sword forging, and he could say that he knew this sword quite well.
He immediately took the sword from Xiao Yuhan's hand and threw it into the sky. Then he drew his Dragon Slayer Sword and slashed at a dark longsword.
Xiao Yuhan understood Liu Jiantang's meaning and was also looking forward to the performance of the newly forged sword.
But the next moment, Xiao Yuhan immediately blurted out: "Holy crap!"
As soon as the Dragon Slayer Sword struck the black jade longsword, the black jade longsword shattered, just as he had imagined!
Xiao Yuhan stepped forward, picked up the sword hilt, and stared blankly at Liu Jiantang. Liu Jiantang was also puzzled, wondering how it could have broken so easily.
While the three were still unaware of what was happening, the black jade longsword in Xiao Yuhan's hand silently restored itself, and only then did the three notice the unusual nature of the sword.
Liu Jiantang's eyes widened, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had indirectly implicated Xiao Yuhan, causing the Gentleman's Sword to be destroyed, so he had forged this sword to give to Xiao Yuhan. If it really was a defective product, he would definitely feel guilty.
Xiao Yuhan sighed and said in a comforting tone, "Senior Brother Liu, this thing is quite good. It's not that your sword-forging skills are lacking; there must be some magical aspect that I haven't discovered yet. Junior Brother likes it very much. Thank you!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Jiantang was very serious and immediately said, "Junior brother, you fight me with this sword!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Jiantang charged forward with his sword. Xiao Yuhan instinctively raised his sword to block, but he also knew from the bottom of his heart that the sword would shatter, so he raised his left arm to shield his eyes.
But the next moment, the black jade sword did not shatter as expected.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword blazed with golden light, echoing the roars of dragons and tigers across the heavens, while the Black Jade Sword crackled with black lightning. The two immortal weapons remained locked in a stalemate until the two swordsmen finally withdrew their attacks.
Xiao Yuhan looked at the black jade longsword in his hand with disbelief. Suddenly, he noticed something unusual. At this moment, an uncomfortable force came from the blade. Looking at his hand holding the sword, he saw red lines spreading up his arm from the back of his hand.
Blood King Gu!
Xiao Yuhan immediately realized that this was the power of the Blood King Gu, and immediately tried to throw away the sword in his hand, but the sword seemed to be attached to his hand and he could no longer break free.
Realizing his current situation, he felt the power of the Blood King Gu gradually eroding his body.
"Am I going to turn back into that monster again?" Xiao Yuhan asked himself helplessly.
Gradually, his pupils turned crimson. While he still retained his senses, he immediately said, "Senior brothers, I'm sorry, please get away from me and go find Junior Sister! She can save me!"
Ye Qingyun and Liu Jiantang exchanged a glance and ultimately decided that Ye Qingyun should leave, because at this time and place, only Liu Jiantang had the potential to stop Xiao Yuhan in her Blood King Gu state.
Just as Ye Qingyun was about to set off, Liu Jiantang suddenly stopped him.
"Wait, senior brother, look!"
Ye Qingyun looked at Xiao Yuhan again.
At this moment, black lightning surged around Xiao Yuhan's body, and the Blood King Gu was forced back into the sword. As Xiao Yuhan collapsed to the ground exhausted, the black jade sword shattered once again.
Looking at the sword in his hand and watching the fragments gradually return to their original state, Xiao Yuhan immediately exclaimed, "This sword is too strange!"
At this moment, the two senior brothers realized something was wrong and immediately came up to ask, "Why hasn't your Blood King Gu been cured yet? Didn't you say you were fine before?"
"Now everything is really alright!" Xiao Yuhan laughed happily, and then told the two of them about what happened when she returned from the Southern Frontier. Only then did they understand what had happened.
Liu Jiantang asked, "If what you're saying is true, Junior Brother Xiao, the Blood King Gu is currently inside this sword. Isn't that extremely dangerous? Give me the sword, and I'll destroy it for you!"
Xiao Yuhan shook his head and said, "Senior brother! I feel that the power in this sword can control the Blood King Gu. As long as I can control this sword and not misuse its power, there shouldn't be a big problem!"
Liu Jiantang felt uneasy because he always felt that this thing was too strange, but Ye Qingyun said, "Since Junior Brother Xiao can control it himself, then be careful. I believe you can handle it well!"
Xiao Yuhan nodded, and as he stood up, he held the black jade longsword in his hand and murmured, "Since you are so wicked, and I happen to be known as the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal, then you shall be called the Demon-Slaying Sword!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyun slapped his forehead. "Junior brother, the name you chose is truly awful. In my opinion, this sword is entirely black, which perfectly corresponds to the idea that 'all under heaven is white except for me, who is black.' How about calling it Ink Hero? Or even Black Hero?!"
Xiao Yuhan looked at Ye Qingyun with disdain, and immediately got goosebumps. He thought to himself, "Your name is too childish." However, he was more curious about how his senior brother knew the Mohist philosophy, so he immediately asked, "Senior brother, is your name derived from the Mohist school?"
"What Mohist school? You mean that phrase, 'All under heaven is white'? Some chivalrous figures in the martial arts world always say that!"
At this moment, Liu Jiantang, who was not far away, said in a serious tone, "This sword can rival the Dragon-Slaying Sword, so why not call it War Dragon?!"
Xiao Yuhan opened his mouth, speechless, thinking to himself, "Senior Brother Liu, you are the one who is a War Dragon, your whole family are War Dragons."
Despite being terrible at naming things, they still had the nerve to call themselves that. But after thinking about it, the name "Zhu Xie" (诛邪) didn't sound quite right. So they racked their brains and came up with a name: "Let's call him Jun Mo (君墨). That gentleman's sword was once as flawless as jade, but no one in this world can truly be as pure and flawless as jade. So a flawless gentleman's sword is more like an irony, making one seem like a hypocrite. I believe that a true gentleman should also be exposed to the darkness of the world and understand his own heart. So I named him Jun Mo."
The two senior brothers exchanged a thoughtful glance, then revealed an expression of appreciation.
Xiao Yuhan sighed, relieved that the two terrible name-givers had finally stopped saying anything.
The three brothers stood there looking at the devastation of Sword Valley. Xiao Yuhan felt a little guilty and said, "Senior brother, why don't you move to my Discipline Hall? This place is definitely uninhabitable. It's perfect that you can help me teach the disciples when you have nothing else to do!"
Liu Jiantang smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. After experiencing so much, his attitude towards Xiao Yuhan had changed somewhat, at least he was no longer as wary of him as before.
Just as the three brothers decided to leave, a strange noise suddenly came from the direction of the Discipline Hall. The sky and earth changed color, and dark clouds covered the sky. Xiao Yuhan was surprised to find that a dazzling red light was flashing in the sky.
