Brave Young Man

How can this not be awkward?

He was thoroughly beaten by Lin Fan, buried alive in a pit, and had all his treasures stolen, including his sword.

This made him already extremely embarrassed and angry, and he also felt ashamed.

Qiu Mobai originally planned to find an opportunity to take back everything he had lost and, incidentally, beat up Lin Fan to vent his anger.

However, the battle between Lin Fan and Ji Chutong completely changed Qiu Mobai's perception of Lin Fan, making him realize that he was no match for Lin Fan at all.

At least not yet!

Helpless, and with Sword Seventeen pressing him for answers, he had no choice but to tell his martial uncle everything, and so things escalated into...

Sword and Sabre Divine Sect was no match for Lin Fan, the True Person HeHe, and even his flying sword was stolen. Left with no other choice, he sought help from his elders, resorting to bullying the weak to try and reclaim his sword!

What kind of mess is this?!

As a dignified swordsman, Qiu Mobai should have been a person of some standing, yet he has fallen to such a state. How could he not be depressed?

At this point, he had already resigned himself to his fate and barely managed to suppress his embarrassment as he appeared here.

But Lin Fan actually said he didn't recognize him?!

You Dog Thief! You beat me up, buried me, robbed me, and now you say you don't recognize me?!

What's the difference between you and a scumbag who pulls up his pants and then forgets about you?!

When you were all lovey-dovey, you called her "sweetheart," but now that someone new has taken her place, you call her "old hag"?!

This is infuriating!!!

At this moment, Qiu Mobai was in roughly this mood, so angry that he could hardly utter a complete sentence. He could only glare angrily at Lin Fan to express his rage.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Lin Fan spread his hands. "I really don't recognize you, so why did you ask me to take out my things?"

"What is it?"

"Just say it if you need to."

How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?

"Didn't I give it to you because you told me?"

"If you don't tell me, there's no way I'll give it to you, right?"

"Lin Fan, you Dog Thief!!!"

Qiu Mobai was so angry he almost vomited blood. He even set up Soundproofing Formation before roaring, "You just want to humiliate me!"

He finally understood.

Lin Fan just wanted him to admit that he had stolen the Cloud Piercing Sword.

Once the topic of the Cloud Piercing Sword comes up...

Although everyone knows that the Cloud Piercing Sword is in Lin Fan's hands, how many people know that their own sword was taken by Lin Fan?

But this time, once this matter gets out in the open, he will completely lose face.

Qiu Mobai naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Why would I humiliate you?

Who are you?!

Qiu Mobai: "..."

Sword Seventeen: "..."

You're fucking trying to kill me by hurting my spirit!

I'm so frustrated! What's the most infuriating thing?!

You angrily went to cause trouble for someone, wanting your things back, but the other person just calmly and bewilderedly asked who you were!

After beating you up, burying you, and robbing you, I won't even know who you are or what you look like...

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Enough!"

As an elder, Sword Seventeen naturally did not want to see his juniors being humiliated one after another, so he said angrily, "You are very good, and you are also very talented."

"But a genius who fails to grow is nothing!"

"If you don't want to become a corpse the moment you leave the Three Saints City, hand over the Cloud Piercing Sword immediately! That's not something you should possess!"

"This Top-Grade Dao Artifact is a secret technique passed down by the Sword Master of my Sword and Sabre Divine Sect."

"Qiu Mobai's skills are lacking, and you stole it from him. The control you've exercised over these past few days is his punishment. And today, if you don't return it to its rightful owner..."

"Snort!"

"What will happen if I don't return it to its rightful owner?"

Lin Fan blinked. "Hey, I just find this strange. Elder, are you threatening to kill me?"

"This is the Three Saints City!"

"And..."

"Now that you mention it, I remember! Aren't you that... that... what, Sword Person?"

"As for swords, I do have a few, but I don't know which one you dropped. How about this, let me ask around."

Splash...

With a thought, he conjured three flying swords that looked remarkably like the Cloud Piercing Sword in front of him.

Then, he looked at Qiu Mobai and said with a grin, "Brave young man."

"Did you drop the Golden Cloud Piercing Sword, the Silver Cloud Piercing Sword, or the Iron Cloud Piercing Sword?"

"You?!"

Qiu Mobai was taken aback.

Sword Seventeen was also stunned for a moment.

They thought Lin Fan would honestly hand over the Cloud Piercing Sword, but the result was...

What are all these things?!

Gold, silver, and iron? Although they all look like the Cloud Piercing Sword, they're actually nothing at all!

Gold and silver are naturally valuable in the eyes of mortals, but what are they in the eyes of us cultivators?!

"Neither!"

Qiu Mobai roared, "Quickly give me back my Top-Grade Dao Artifact, the Cloud Piercing Sword!"

Return it to you?

Lin Fan smiled.

Joke!!!

Once something is in our hands, do you think we can just easily and casually return it to you?!

That's wishful thinking!

The guy grinned. "Oh, I see, so you're talking about this Cloud Piercing Sword..."

Buzz.

The Cloud Piercing Sword appeared, hovering above his head and scattering waves of inexplicable light belonging to Dao artifacts, causing Qiu Mobai's face to turn ashen.

In his opinion, Lin Fan's actions were far too high-profile!

Without any concealment, he directly activated the Top-Grade Dao Artifact. When the light shone brightly, it was hard for others not to notice.

How embarrassing is that?!

He seemed to feel countless incredibly sharp gazes piercing him, causing him excruciating pain all over his body.

but...

With the Cloud Piercing Sword right before his eyes, there was no time to pay attention to anything else!

He forced himself to ignore the stares of the crowd, and just glared at Lin Fan with annoyance. "Give it back to me!"

"Oh... I'm giving it back to you?"

"But isn't this my flying sword? You say it's yours, so you think you can just return it to me like that?!"

"Try calling out to it and see if it answers!"

"Lin Fan!"

Qiu Mobai's face turned even darker.

If I call it, will it respond? It's not a living being, what makes it think it will respond?!

Of course, in fact even 'magical artifacts' have this 'function', let alone Daoist artifacts.

The problem is that the Cloud Piercing Sword has already been 'refined' by Lin Fan. From this perspective, the Cloud Piercing Sword now belongs to Lin Fan!

In other words, if Lin Fan wanted to 'call' it, it would respond at any time, but what about himself?

No matter how much you call out, it's no use.

You've already refined it, and you still want me to 'call' it? Are you kidding me? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?!

Qiu Mobai was practically gritting his teeth at that moment.

"Lin Fan!"

Sword Seventeen couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily, "Don't make me say the same thing twice. You're a smart man, you should know how to choose."

"I know, of course I know."

Lin Fan shrugged. "But, do you dare kill me inside the city?"

"Does your Sword and Sabre Divine Sect dare to run wild in the Three Saints City?"

"..."

Sword Seventeen's gaze turned completely cold. "You will eventually have to leave the city; you can't stay inside forever."

"Besides, the whole thing started because of you. You two originally had no grudges against each other. It was because you wanted Dan Chengzi to win that this series of events happened."

"The Cloud Piercing Sword originally belonged to my Sword and Sabre Divine Sect. Do you really think you can take it away?!"

"Don't scare me."

Lin Fan shrugged, no longer pretending, and laid his cards on the table. "Once something is in my hands, do you think you can take it back with just a few words?"

"What kind of good thing is this?!"

"The Cloud Piercing Sword originally belonged to you? And this whole thing started because of me? But the one who struck first wasn't me, it was your Sword Person... oh, sorry, Sword Boy."

Qiu Mobai: "(へ╬)!!!"

"I spared his life and only took some of his possessions; that's already giving your Sword and Sabre Divine Sect a lot of face."

"Now that the Cloud Piercing Sword is mine, you still want it back with just a few words, and you even threaten me?!"

"Yes, I can't stay in the Three Saints City forever, but if I auction off the Cloud Piercing Sword, could I use the Spirit Stone I get to hire one or two powerful experts to escort me for a while?"

"As long as they protect me for a while, once I'm far away, I'm free to roam the world. With my abilities, do you think you can find me?!"

Lin Fan chuckled.

Afraid?

He's really not afraid!

She wasn't even afraid of being stopped, because this was originally Qi Zixiao's physical body; she was merely in human form.

Once he reverts to his human form, Lin Fan will vanish into thin air, and no one will be able to find him again.

In this situation, what's there to be afraid of?!

Are you threatening me by blocking the door?

I walked out without you even noticing, why would I be afraid you'd block the door?!

Threaten me again, and I'll sell you all out!

"You dare!"

Qiu Mobai: "Besides, who doesn't know that the Cloud Piercing Sword is a precious item of our Sword and Sabre Divine Sect? Who has the audacity to buy it?"

"Is that so?"

Lin Fan glanced at Sword Seventeen: "Old Man, this Sword Person doesn't have much knowledge. He's been cultivating since he was a child, but you know him well. Tell me, if I were to put this kind of Top-Grade Dao Artifact up for public auction, would anyone bid?"

Sword Seventeen's face darkened further...

Will anyone make an offer?

Of course someone will bid, and they'll bid enthusiastically!

Top-Grade Dao Artifact are not common items. What are a few dangers compared to such a treasure?!

Therefore, he could almost foresee that once Lin Fan actually did that, it would be even more difficult to get the Cloud Piercing Sword back.

"What are you going to do about it!"

Helpless, Sword Seventeen could only ask with a dark face, his imposing manner weakening somewhat.

"It finally looks like we're going to have a proper talk."

Lin Fan smiled, revealing his full set of white teeth. "Then let's have a good discussion. How many Spirit Stone are you willing to pay to buy back this Cloud Piercing Sword?"

"What?! You bought it?"

Qiu Mobai was stunned for a moment, then roared out.

But at that moment, Sword Seventeen reached out and stopped him. Looking over in surprise, he saw that Sword Seventeen's face was ashen. "How much do you want?!"
