Lin Lang stood in the courtyard, holding Second Saber Emperor's saber.
Second Saber Emperor looked disdainful. This young fellow was impressive with palm techniques, leg techniques, and the like, but he actually wanted to instruct him in saber techniques?!
Who was he? He was the Saber Emperor.
Aside from his defeats at First Evil Emperor's hands, he had never lost a contest of sabers.
He had thought nothing even of Nie Renwang, the Northern Drinking Saber of years past. He was the emperor of sabers!
But as Lin Lang demonstrated his saber techniques, Second Saber Emperor's gaze changed.
What was going on? Why did Lin Lang's saber techniques feel familiar, and why were they so powerful?!
They seemed to share similarities with his own techniques, yet they were different.
Wait, he seemed to sense similarities to First Evil Emperor's saber techniques too. That intense demonic intent was unmistakably the Demon Blade!
"Y-you know the Demon Blade? You're the Evil Emperor's successor?!"
So after First Evil Emperor's son died, he had trained another extraordinarily gifted young man. Second Saber Emperor had thought the old fellow had stayed at Life and Death Gate all this time, avoiding outsiders. It turned out he had been deceived.
First Evil Emperor had even sinisterly sent his successor to seduce his daughter and prevent her from mastering the Seven Severing Sentiments. How despicable!
Lin Lang slashed down, leaving a trench dozens of meters long outside the Severed Sentiment Abode.
He planted the saber in the ground. "Saber Emperor, these aren't the Evil Emperor's saber techniques. They're mine, though perhaps they share similarities. Both contain demonic intent."
"This set of saber techniques originally required severing affection and loyalty too. But as long as you're human, you can't cut them off completely. You may ignore your family now,
