Mozhou Road.
At a tea house outside Yuanning County Town, the autumn wind rustled bleakly. A dozen or so men armed with blades were surrounding a middle-aged man. The man was a Qi Cultivator, and his Sword Control Technique was a magnificent sight to behold.
But the dozen-odd men were no pushovers. They were covered head to toe in hidden weapons, clearly specialized in fighting Qi Cultivators. Moreover, their attacks were methodical, and their coordination was flawless.
A dozen breaths later, one of the men used his breastplate to block the middle-aged Qi Cultivator's Longsword. At the same instant, another man beside him unleashed a masterful saber technique. In a flash of cold light, his blade, imbued with sharp saber-qi, struck nine times in an instant, shattering the Protective Shield generated by the Qi Cultivator's Magical Artifact.
