Chapter 346: Eight Earthworms of the Sword Sect

"Huh?"

The three people across from him were all stunned by his words.

So, after all that commotion, it was just because they wanted to see the famous sword?

Gu Qingyi narrowed his eyes, suppressing the anger in his heart.

After all, their side had been in the wrong first, so no matter how unreasonable Xu Xiaoshou's demand was, he couldn't just erupt in anger immediately.

But this suggestion still made him furious.

To him, his personal sword was like his own woman.

Who would willingly hand over their woman to someone they'd only met once—and a man at that—to touch, grope, or even...

Some might even ask to unsheathe it for a closer look!

Who could tolerate that?

Gu Qingyi managed to restrain himself. He said in a steady voice, "We can compensate you with anything else, but this specific request is impossible."

Xu Xiaoshou was puzzled.

"Just looking isn't okay?"

"I only want to look, not steal or rob, and I won't perform any sword-swallowing tricks in front of you. Don't worry, just a quick glance."

Gu Qingyi: "..."

"Passive value, 1."

"You brat, you're going too far!" Gu Qingsan couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily.

How could the personal sword of an ancient sword cultivator be casually examined by others?

Xu Xiaoshou was taken aback by the outburst and felt his own anger rising.

"Going too far?"

"I just asked a question, and that's not allowed?"

"You guys broke my door, and I haven't even made a big fuss about it. I was ready to let it slide, I just wanted to see the sword..."

"And that's not allowed?"

"Fine, forget it then!"

"Get out, scram! I'm not dying to see it..."

Gu Qingsan was infuriated by this dismissive attitude. Just see the sword?

I think you're insulting us. He stepped forward, pressing his chest right up against Xu Xiaoshou.

"Junior brother, don't!"

The eldest was about to step in, but Gu Qing'er stopped him just in time, and he held back.

"What? Want to fight?"

Xu Xiaoshou found it amusing. He never thought a broken door could lead to this.

But their anger seemed so baseless. Just wanting to see a sword and they're this mad?

Could I have accidentally touched some sword cultivator taboo?

Not even allowed to look at a sword?

Xu Xiaoshou felt strange, but he remembered that day when he asked Su Qianqian about her famous sword, she just gave it to him. There didn't seem to be any big taboo there.

Even if there was...

They were the ones who were wrong for breaking the door first...

Heh, at this point, all those extra excuses didn't matter.

Young people fighting can be completely irrational, and once it starts, there's no stopping it!

The two sides faced off, tensions high.

Gu Qingsan was stubborn as a mule, practically head-butting Xu Xiaoshou.

The eldest could swallow his pride, but as the youngest junior brother, he had to stand up for his seniors!

"A fight? You're just at Xiantian level. Think you can beat me?"

Gu Qing'er facepalmed behind him. As soon as those words were spoken, he seemed to foresee the outcome of the fight.

Gu Qingyi fell silent.

He suddenly remembered that every time the Jian Nian appeared, this unreasonable guy was around.

And with only Xu Xiaoshou here, could the Jian Nian really be his?

Though the idea was absurd, just in case, perhaps his junior brother's move could reveal something?

Xu Xiaoshou saw that the two behind weren't stepping in, just making noise, which made him even angrier.

These guys really think they can bully with numbers!

"Xiantian?"

He sneered, "You probably haven't been beaten up by a Xiantian before! You're that stubborn, huh? Getting this close, what are you doing? Want to headbutt me?"

Gu Qingsan was provoked again. Seeing that his eldest wasn't stopping him was as good as giving him permission.

So he gained confidence and said, "Headbutt you? You think I wouldn't dare?"

"Oh? You dare? If you dare, go ahead! If you're man enough, do it! All talk and no action is useless!"

Gu Qingsan shot back, "Heh, if I headbutt you, you'd probably fall apart on the spot!"

"Heh? I'll heh you right back. All bark and no bite, huh? In the end, you still don't dare try?"

Gu Qingsan was so stimulated he turned red-eyed and roared, "Don't dare? You say I don't dare?"

"Dare? You dare? Headbutt me then! Come on, do it!"

"I..."

Gu Qingsan couldn't hold back anymore. With a bellow, he slammed his head straight into Xu Xiaoshou's forehead.

A deafening clang echoed, startling the two behind them.

Just a headbutt, no fancy moves, so how could there be such an explosive sound?

Before they could think more, Gu Qingsan, after headbutting Xu Xiaoshou, had his face erupt in blood, and his whole body flew backward.

"Passive value, 1."

As he crashed to the ground, he still wore a look of utter disbelief.

What just happened?

I... flew?

In such close contact, Gu Qingsan was absolutely sure Xu Xiaoshou hadn't used any spiritual energy.

They had just clashed with pure physical strength. Not to mention his body, refined by various sword intents to be as sharp and tough as a spiritual sword, his "Zhi Jian Dao Ti" alone should have sent an ordinary spirit refiner flying!

So why was I the one who flew?

As the information panel showed suspicion, Xu Xiaoshou was internally thrilled.

This guy is way too stubborn!

He'd never seen anyone stupid enough to try a pure physical headbutt against him. How dense can you get?

That was worth at least ten Zhou Tian Cans!

I, Xu Xiaoshou, crown you the king of denseness!

Bar none!

While rejoicing inside, Xu Xiaoshou swept a cold gaze over the two who looked ready to move.

"What, the young one's down, so the old ones are up next?"

"Guess I was right—you're all about gang tactics. Run out of words, so now use your bodies?"

"Come on, show me what you've got?"

The two were stumped, not sure whether to act or stand still.

Gu Qingsan was furious on the ground.

"It's not over yet!"

He roared, leaping to his feet as a fierce aura exploded from him.

In that instant, everything in the room hummed and trembled, as if about to lift into the air.

The ten spiritual swords from the Bao Jian Ke and Jiu Jian Ke, except for the two famous ones, all soared into the sky.

They converged from all directions, toward Gu Qingsan!

"Zongshi Jianyi?"

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes widened.

This dense one is actually at Zongshi Jianyi level?

That's insane!

In the vast Tian Sang Ling Gong, among his peers, only Su Qianqian was a Jian Zong that he knew of.

And here, this guy was one too!

He glanced subconsciously at the two beside him—even the densest junior had Jian Zong strength.

Then these two with famous swords...

Xu Xiaoshou felt a bit uneasy.

But he wouldn't show weakness. Staring at the trembling swords in the sky, he sneered, "Zongshi Jianyi?"

"For others, it's ten thousand swords returning to the sect, but for you, it's summoning eight earthworms?"

"Put away your tricks. Don't embarrass yourself by showing them off!"
