Although Treasure Bottle Temple is not a force in the Jiangnan martial arts world, it is very famous near the Yangzhou Prefecture.
This is because the abbot of Treasure Bottle Temple, Master Bao Jing, is the eleventh figure on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, the 'Bright King Zen Staff' Bao Jing, the high monk.
Master Bao Jing is kind-hearted and virtuous in his daily life, enjoying a high reputation in the Jiangnan martial arts community. Upon learning that the Demon Sect dispatched ten experts of Inner Strength, the Thunder Fist Sect and the Sword and Saber Sect decisively moved their forces to Treasure Bottle Temple, pleading for Master Bao Jing to help them resist the Demon Sect invasion together.
To prevent the Demon Sect from obtaining all the remnants of the map and successfully locating the Sword Tomb's hidden treasures left by Bai Yue Sword Saint.
Whether for public or personal interests, allowing the Demon Sect to obtain the treasures within the Sword Tomb's hidden treasures will undoubtedly strengthen the Demon Sect, which would be detrintal to the world.
Master Bao Jing agreed to this matter without hesitation, fearing not at all that the Demon Sect would target Treasure Bottle Temple.
...
"Truly too arrogant." Master Bao Jing stood in the courtyard with a 300-jin golden lacquered copper Zen staff in his hands. He was tall and sturdy like an iron tower. Although his brows and beard were frosted with white, his muscles were no weaker than those of peak martial heroes, truly the embodint of vitality in old age.
Behind Master Bao Jing, on either side, stood a middle-aged man.
The one on the left was a bald man with a diterranean hairstyle, thin and sharp-eyed like an eagle. Due to embarrassnt or a sense of style, his bald head was covered with green tattoos.
This was Lei Gang, the Sect Leader of the Thunder Fist Sect, sixteenth on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, known as the 'Thunderbolt Hamr.'
The one on the right was obese, with eyes like slits, squeezed by his fat, resembling a laughing Maitreya Buddha.
Being so overweight, his clothes couldn't fully cover his body, exposing his navel, sowhat undermining his deanor as a martial expert.
He was Gongsun Xiaozhou, the Sect Leader of the Sword and Saber Sect, nineteenth on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, known as 'Double Sword Double Mastery.'
Behind these three stood many others with reserved auras, all experts of Inner Strength from various sects.
In front of Master Bao Jing, five evil-looking people stood in the courtyard, staring gloomily at Lei Gang and Gongsun Xiaozhou.
These five were the experts sent by the Demon Sect that night. Seeing only five had co initially surprised Lei Gang and Gongsun Xiaozhou, but after witnessing their revealed strength, they understood why the Demon Sect dared not strike with their entire force for the last two fragnts in their possession.
Strong! These five individuals were overwhelmingly powerful, utterly unfathomable.
The Demon-Subduing Array set up by the martial monks of Treasure Bottle Temple could even frustrate Inner Strength experts, yet these five broke through boldly and, before long, had already killed many martial monks.
"I advise you to hand over those last two remnants obediently; it might spare your lives." Among the five Demon Sect experts, a young man wielding a bow and wearing a half iron mask laughed.
The power of his bow was clearly demonstrated to Lei Gang and the others just now. His archery was supernatural, with each arrow seemingly imbued with intelligence, able to forcibly alter its trajectory mid-flight.
After hitting the air, the arrows would erupt into raging flas, and several Treasure Bottle Temple martial monks had just perished under his arrows.
Besides him, the other four Demon Sect experts were also extraordinary, each wielding different weapons.
One wielded a Skull-Crushing Hamr, another carried a Mystic Dragon Shear, and one held a Feather Fan. Their variety was utterly diverse.
Yet, such unusual weapons often carried powers far more indefensible than common swords, sabers, or spears.
"You're dreaming! Do you really think Jiangnan has no martial heroes?" Thunderbolt Hamr Lei Gang fiercely clanged his pair of bronze hamrs together, sparking violently. His entire body was surrounded by purple thunder energy, no longer willing to tolerate, poised for a life-and-death battle with these Demon Sect experts.
By this ti, everyone knew that words were aningless; only deeds mattered.
Gongsun Xiaozhou drew two sharp weapons, one red, one blue, from the scabbards on his back.
The Red Saber and Blue Sword made Lei Wu, who stood behind Lei Gang, widen his eyes. Everyone knew that the Sword and Saber Sect was a Jiangnan martial sect with profound historical roots.
About three hundred years ago, the Sword and Saber Sect erged as a top sect in Jiangnan, unrivaled in its pri.
But ti does not forgive, and the sect weakened, no longer able to claim the title of Jiangnan's top sect, though it remained a formidable force.
The weapons in Gongsun Xiaozhou's hands were those of Gongsun Haoyue, the founding master of the Sword and Saber Sect, three hundred years ago.
Red Sun Saber, Blue Moon Sword.
If ordinary weapons forged from common iron were first-grade, those made of refined iron, capable of cutting through a martial artist's body, were second-grade.
Weapons crafted by famous martial artists, using rare materials, achieved third-grade status.
The Red Sun Saber and the Blue Moon Sword in Gongsun Xiaozhou's hands were such third-grade weapons.
