…
However, Qin Fang was not particularly anxious about this. He even deliberately put this Seven Star Swordgrass back into the prop box slowly. The sword intent that was overflowing before also disappeared without a trace in an instant …
When the sword intent disappeared, Qin Fang also noticed that the figure who was rushing over also had a moment of stagnation. He probably also discovered such a change, but he did not stay for long and quickly came over here.
At this time, Qin Fang got off the private plane under the greeting of the flight crew … Together with other guests who came to the birthday banquet, he welcomed the warm welcome of the Xu Family and put this matter aside.
The Xu Family Island was worthy of being a big family in Nanyang with a deep foundation and powerful strength. The area of this small island was quite large. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a small city.
Just the airport in front of them was enough to make them raise their eyebrows.
After Qin Fang got off the plane, two other planes landed next to him. He even heard that a few more planes were about to arrive … In such a short time, five private planes were about to land.
However, Qin Fang also heard that the guests invited by the Xu Family this time had been severely reduced. Almost all of them were the students and old friends of Old Mister Xu …
However, judging from the current situation, this number still exceeded Qin Fang's estimation!
This was also understandable. The old man was already a famous scholar thirty years ago. Even if he had retired for many years now, he would still accept a few students with better qualifications from time to time …
Counting it this way, the number of students under his tutelage after decades of accumulation was truly frightening …
Those who were qualified to come here and were willing to come to the old man's birthday banquet were mostly the students under Old Mister Xu's tutelage. Perhaps the number would be reduced a lot … But with a huge base, this number was still quite shocking.
The person in charge of greeting the guests was Old Man Xu's grandson. He was a very young and handsome man who looked to be in his twenties at most. However, he had a jade-like face and a handsome figure. Moreover, his manner of speech and posture were all quite appropriate. It truly reflected the heritage of the Xu family, which had been a wealthy family for hundreds of years.
"Welcome, esteemed guests, to my grandfather's birthday banquet … I am Xu Zizhen … Please come in!"
The young man named Xu Zizhen took the initiative to greet Qin Fang and the others, and prepared to board the car that was prepared in advance to head to the manor that the Xu family had prepared for the guests.
"Wait …"
But at this moment, a voice came from behind, sounding a little anxious.
"Grandpa …"
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed slightly. He felt it was a little strange, but he still greeted him very respectfully.
With this kind of reaction, the other guests, including Qin Fang, were also surprised. Then, they all turned their heads to look in that direction. They saw a white-haired, sloppy old man walking over.
It was fine if he just walked over, but this old man's eyes were quite strange. He kept looking at everyone present … Whether it was the guests or the bodyguards beside the guests, almost none of them were left out.
This was originally not a big deal. It was not a big deal to be looked at a few times … But this old man's eyes were very sharp. If they stayed on a person for a long time, it would make people feel quite uncomfortable.
To be precise, this could no longer be considered uncomfortable. It was simply a feeling of goosebumps all over their body, as if they were being stared at by a very dangerous beast.
"Young Master Xu, this is …"
The guests who could come to the birthday banquet were basically people with status and background. It was not very polite to be stared at like this … Especially when they felt some kind of strange threat.
What made them most unbearable was that the bodyguards they hired with a lot of money seemed to have fallen into the sea at this moment. Not to mention that their bodies were wet, their whole bodies were trembling …
"Sword Intent …"
Only Qin Fang was relatively calm because he knew why this old man came and why others would have such a reaction …
It was just that …
At this moment, Qin Fang also pretended to be "scared". Although he was not as bad as those bodyguards, his body seemed to be shaking … Fortunately, the old man did not come for him, so he would not be exposed.
"Grandpa, these people are all here to attend Grandpa's birthday banquet, you …"
Xu Zizhen also felt a deep pressure at this time. After all, he was responsible for welcoming the guests. If such a thing happened, it would not be a good thing for him if it spread out. Even if he did not want to stand out, he could not back down at this time.
"Hmph …"
This old man's temper seemed to be quite strange. He glared fiercely at Xu Zizhen, then turned around and left directly. He seemed to be looking for another target.
"I'm sorry to have frightened everyone … This way please!"
Xu Zizhen seemed to have no way to deal with this old man. She could only keep apologizing to Qin Fang and the others. Then, she led them into the car and left the airport. This matter was finally over … As for whether she had left a bad impression on the guests, Xu Zizhen had no other way to deal with it.
Fortunately, although some of these guests were slightly uncomfortable in their hearts, they came to celebrate their teacher's birthday. They did not have any losses, so naturally, they did not care about such unhappy things …
What's more, from Xu Zizhen's words, it wasn't difficult to know that this strange old man just now should also be a figure of Old Man Xu's generation. It was likely that his status in the Xu Family wasn't low. Naturally, he wouldn't offend him if he could.
"Swordsman?"
Although Qin Fang looked the same as the others, he was deep in thought. Looking at the back of the old man in the distance, he could not help but mutter in his heart.
The sword was the king of hundreds of weapons. This also destined the position of the sword in the hearts of warriors.
It could be said that more than half of the true martial arts masters used weapons, and among these warriors who used weapons, at least half of them used swords …
However, an expert swordsman and an expert swordsman were two completely different concepts ….
Using a sword could only be said to be using a sword as a weapon …
But using a sword was different. That was, most of their skills were on the sword … Even if they lost their sword, their skills would be reduced to seventy to eighty percent!
In addition, there was another kind of master, but it was even more eye-catching, and that was … a swordsman!
A true swordsman!
In the martial arts world, there were many kinds of masters, but the swordsman always occupied a very important position … The swordsman even became the top group of people in the martial arts world. And in that era, a certain swordsman sect suppressed thousand-year-old sects like Shaolin and Kunlun.
And this sect was called … Mount Shu!
This Mount Shu was not the Mount Shu where swordsmen flew everywhere …
But the former Mount Shu Sword Sect was indeed a swordsman sect, and it was an incomparably powerful swordsman sect … So powerful that it made people tremble in fear.
Unfortunately, it was just like the saying, 'Extreme prosperity leads to decline' … The Mount Shu Sword Sect eventually fell apart due to internal strife.
It was said that the Qingcheng, Emei, Diancang, and other sects that were passed down now were split from the former Mount Shu Sword Sect … The truth had long been submerged in the long river of history and could not be verified.
Although such a powerful sword sect had disappeared, some of the swordsman's secret records or martial arts manuals had unexpectedly leaked out. For example, the reason why Qingcheng, Emei, Diancang, and other sects were recognized as branches of the Mount Shu Sword Sect was also related to this. Who asked them to have more ancient books in this area?
However, since the division of Mount Shu, the status of swordsman in the martial arts world was not as good as before …
Although there would still be one or two sword cultivator experts appearing from time to time, it would be very difficult for them to recreate their former glory …
Especially in this era, there were very few masters who could practice swordsmanship without distraction … The number of swordsman masters was also getting fewer and fewer, almost to the point of extinction!
Just like Qin Fang, he had now come into contact with many martial arts masters. Not to mention those below the Grandmaster level, he had met no less than dozens of Great Grandmaster level masters … But none of them could be called a swordsman.
But what he did not expect was that he would actually meet such a swordsman on such a small island … in the territory of such a family. And this person's strength was quite terrifying, the kind that even Qin Fang felt a little trembling.
Without a doubt, it was this sloppy old man just now …
Of course, it was not that this old man's strength was terrifying. In fact, this old man was also a Grandmaster level master. Even though he had been at the peak of the Grandmaster level for many years, it seemed that there was no hope for him to break through to the Great Grandmaster level.
Judging from his reaction, this old man was definitely a swordsman and martial arts fanatic without distraction … But his natural aptitude was not very outstanding. Although he had reached his current cultivation level, his potential had been exhausted, and there was no more progress.
Moreover, this old man was not young, and his body had already begun to decline. If he wanted to go further, the difficulty would be even greater …
However, what really made Qin Fang feel sidelong was his cultivation in swordsmanship … To be precise, he had actually condensed the most difficult sword essence for a swordsman to comprehend, and had cultivated it to an extremely high level!
