82 Chapter 82: Sword Intent Arises, Storming the City
"What is happening?!"
"My sword!"
....
Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, a series of sword chants rang out, followed by cries of alarm.
Only to see in the night market all the swords soaring towards the sky, densely packed, forming a torrent of sword rain.
That sound, crisp and lingering, seemed as if it reached directly into the heart.
The entire night market became a scene of chaos, with everyone staring in astonishment at this shocking sight.
Then, the sword chanting sound grew louder and louder, and it seemed as if all the swords in Yu State City had flown out of their scabbards towards the heavens, majestic and vast, forming a sea of swords.
The sword light crisscrossed, filling the night sky, as if etched into the vast starry space, creating a scene of boundless grandeur.
"This... what is happening?" Han Wenxin saw it, and he was completely stunned.
The other people present did not speak, all furrowing their brows tightly.
An Jing silently moved Zhao Qingmei behind him, and then pulled Han Wenxin next to him.
"Senior brother!"
Fa Wu suddenly said in a low voice.
"Evil is about to break through the soil."
Fa Zhi's brows furrowed deeply, his tone extremely grave.
"Swoosh!"
At the next moment, a radiant brilliance emerged from the distant horizon.
That brilliance shone between heaven and earth, transforming into threads and strands of sword intent.
"Hmm?!"
An Jing felt that sword intent, and his heart suddenly shook, as if it had resonated in some way.
Only to see the sea of swords in the sky, seemingly guided, the horizon filled with a roaring as the swords broke through the air, and then that sword intent seemed to point out something specifically.
Within the vastness of the sword intent, a golden-red streak of light could be vaguely seen.
And the direction that the sword intent pointed was exactly towards An Jing.
The golden-red light flashed across like a shooting star, fleeting, yet everyone present felt an intense pressure and a suffocating sensation, which disappeared instantly as the light vanished.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Almost in an instant, the myriad swords fell to the ground.
"What happened?"
"What exactly is going on?"
.....
Everyone looked bewildered, unclear about what had just occurred.
"Just now, there seemed to be sword intent guiding...."
Tian Cansou said in surprise, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be searching for something."
The swords of the entire Yu State City had flown into the sky, that vast ocean-like sword light was a rare sight.
Fa Zhi said solemnly, "The sword intent was vast and powerful, it was probably the suppression and sealing of Ye Tai'e, it must have sensed a Qi mechanism opportunity, thus causing the resonance."
"Resonance!?"
Zhao Qingmei heard this, her heart secretly creased.
Others might not know the origin of that suppressing and sealing sword, but she was very clear, the direction pointed by that sword intent just now....
An Jing looked at Han Wenxin with a bewildered face, exclaiming, "Brother Han, could it be that you are a Sword Dao master!?"
At this moment, the eyes of several people present turned towards Han Wenxin.
The direction indicated by that sword intent earlier seemed to be exactly where Han Wenxin was.
"I... I..."
Han Wenxin's face flushed, and his tone also became somewhat stammering, "Regarding the Sword Dao, since youth Han has also practiced, and naturally, is very proficient in swordsmanship..."
Han Wenxin liked to boast, but he knew in his heart that boasting had to be done in moderation; if it was too exaggerated, others would sense the falsehood... this boast was too big, he couldn't back it up.

"Could this arrest officer be hiding his skills?!" Tian Cansou frowned deeply upon seeing this.
Just now, he distinctly remembered that the Sword Intent was directed exactly towards where Han Wenxin was.
Zhao Qingmei and Tan Yun looked at Han Wenxin, a hint of suspicion flashing in their eyes.
"Just now it was merely the monk's speculation, this gentleman need not worry about just now, the temple has many matters, the monk will take his leave first. If the two donors are sincere in their worship, the monk is willing to show the way."
Fa Zhi took a deep breath, clasped his hands together towards everyone, and hurriedly left.
Tian Cansou and Dai Ling saw this and followed Fa Zhi.
"Brother Han, what are you going to do?"
An Jing noticed that Han Wenxin seemed to want to follow too, and grabbed him.
Clearly, Zhang Zhixing was a Jianghu expert, and Han Wenxin was just a regular arrest officer; if the two were to interact, Han Wenxin would definitely suffer.
"I..."
Han Wenxin glanced at Zhao Qingmei and Tan Yun, chuckled dryly, then pulled An Jing to the side and said discontentedly, "Of course, I'm going to escort Miss Dai to Fa Xi Temple, do you even need to ask?"
An Jing frowned and said, "I think that Miss Dai seems like someone from the Jianghu and doesn't need your escort. You're completely making an unnecessary move, plus she might not appreciate your intentions."
"Brother An, didn't you see how beautiful Miss Dai is?"
Han Wenxin seemed quite aggrieved, "But ever since Brother An picked this beautiful flower as a sister-in-law, I also wanted to try getting a beautiful flower myself..."
An Jing: "...."
Han Wenxin chuckled and said, "Brother An, you know me, I won't be as foolish as Zhou Xianming, even if Miss Dai isn't interested, there are still Miss Li, Miss Wang, just like you once said about the fishpond, I want to fill this pond with fish..."
Wanting to be the sea king yet becoming the lick dog, Zhou Xianming licks one, you want to lick ten, a hundred....
An Jing thought for a while and said, "What about Tan Yun? Didn't you say..."
"As for Miss Tan..."
Han Wenxin stealthily glanced at Tan Yun, who was far away, and said seriously, "I think I and Miss Tan aren't quite compatible."
An Jing looked at Han Wenxin, somewhat perplexed by the pronounced change in his attitude in just a few days.
"Alright, no more talking, I'm leaving."
Han Wenxin finished speaking and hurriedly chased after the others. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
......
"Where is that rascal Han Wenxin off to?"
Zhao Qingmei asked as she watched the back of Han Wenxin.
Tan Yun also looked puzzled, as if she was still pondering the earlier incident of Sword Intent 'pointing' towards Han Wenxin.
"He's off looking for a beautiful flower, let him be,"
An Jing shook his head and said, "Let's go buy some rouge."
Han Wenxin was just trying to make a small thing turn into something big, simply put, he was hormone-driven.
"Let's go."
Zhao Qingmei smiled lightly.
The night market was bustling like brocade, with many people congregating and numerous small stalls on both sides of the road.
"Rouge, Flying Swallow brand's rouge, would this lady like to take a look?" The vendor saw Zhao Qingmei coming over and quickly came forward to shout.
The Flying Swallow brand was very famous in Great Yan, backed by the Yujing City Chamber of Commerce, and not many people knew exactly who was behind that Yujing City Chamber of Commerce, but it was definitely someone from within Yujing City.
The big shots and grand families of Yujing City, they were not something Jiangnan Dao could compare with.
Flying Swallow brand's rouge was highly praised for its quality, and the high-end rouge could cost several dozen silver for a box; mostly used by ladies from grand families and noble ladies.
And rouges like these at a stall were relatively cheaper, costing just a few coins, but the quality was also quite good, loved by many women.
