Chapter 434 The Soul Of The Swordsman In White
"Kid, you actually know how to identify a high quality sword apart from the rest?
Do you even know anything about swordsmanship?
Are you cultivating any sword skill at the moment?" an old man in linen questioned Austin.
His tone was akin to a sword, which was hard, sharp, and very aggressive.
The eunuch immediately exined, "Seniors, Austin has been using sword as his weapon for quite
some time already, so he wanted to have a look at these well-known swords..."
Before he could even continue exining, another elder in linen cut him off. He waved to Austin and
said in annoyance, "You''re so young, and I think you are nothing but a kid.
Such arrogance! It''s ridiculous if you think of yourself already an expert of the sword just because
you''ve learned some superficial swordsmanship from some random stranger.
Listen well kid, most of the swords on disy here are superior to medium-grade sacred weapons, and
each of them contains a history that is beyond your wildest imagination.
These swords were cast during the ancient times, and even the youngest of these swords is over two
hundred years old. These swords have yed a great deal in shaping our history.
Each of them has its own sword intent and is by no means ordinary at all.
Well then, since you boast that you are a swordsman, then humor me and choose some swords which
you fancy.
Show us your taste and how good you really are in choosing swords," one of the old man said.
Obviously, he wanted to test Austin''spetence and knowledge in art of swordsmanship.
Although Austin didn''t like their arrogant attitude towards him, he dared not to protest. He had after all
ventured in the lion''s den. Might as well humor them and do what they wished.
Judging from the mighty sword aura which emanated from these three old men, Austin could tell that
they were all experienced and powerful swordsmen. He knew thatpared to their cultivation base,
he was nothing but a newbie who had much to learn.
"Okay then! Let me try," he answered confidently.
He walked towards the weapon shelf and nced at all the swords disyed on it. Each one was
definitely unique from the other.
There were a hundred swords in total. Among them, except for a dozen medium-grade sacred
weapons, the rest were all high-grade sacred weapons.
''Any of these swords would definitely attract any swordsman. And there are a hundred of them on the
shelf. The royal family is truly wealthy!'' Austin thought.
He suddenly remembered that one of the elders had said
that each one of these swords had its own intent. This was truly such an amazing collection of swords.
''Are they really so amazing? They seem to think highly of these swords.
Maybe I should check it out myself. I should use my spiritual sense power to probe these swords.
Maybe I can sense them," he curiously wondered.
Then he released his spiritual sense power towards one of the swords.
The moment his spiritual sense power touched it, the sword immediately emanated sword aura and
intent, which suddenly transformed into a mass of light and entered Austin''s Soul Sea.
"Hahaha! I, Ives, have defeated countless opponents with my sword during my entire life. But I never
expected that my most trusted friend would have set me up and have me murdered!
God, why are you so unfair!"
A man''s stricken voice rang in Austin''s mind.
Then a swordsman in white appeared in his Soul Sea. He looked lonely and angry. From what he said,
Austin knew that he had been hurt because of a friend''s betrayal. Austin could sense a strong sword
aura from him.
''What? It''s a swordsman''s soul!''
The soul wasposed of soul energy and sword intent, and the sword intent was extremely powerful.
It was like nothing that Austin had ever encountered before.
Now Austin finally understood why the elder had said that there was a story behind each of the swords
here.
In fact, the story was not exactly about the sword itself but was all about its former owner. it was as if
history was recorded deep within the sword''s intent.
Now the owner''s soul of the sword Austin had chosen was suddenly aroused by his spiritual sense
power. It was as if Austin''s spiritual sense triggered it.
"Incredible!"
the three elders shouted simultaneously in utter surprise.
"The kid seems to have aroused the sword aura of that sword.
He''s such a daredevil! Didn''t he know that all of these swords contain the sword aura left by their

former owners?
And they weren''t just simple owners, they were all swordsmen who had reached extremely high levels.
The kid even wouldn''t be able to withstand the sword aura they left behind. They are just too powerful
for him to handle alone.
His reckless and ignorant behavior might cause his soul to be injured by the sword aura, and he will
probably go crazy. Shall we help him out?"
an elder asked, his tone filled with concern.
"But he still looks calm. Let''s just wait and see what he will do next," another elder answered, staring
intently at Austin.
At this point, the soul of the swordsman in white was stillining about the injustice of fate and on
his death. He was really in pain and full of anger and regret.
Austin felt that the level seven sword intent in his soul suddenly became restless under the stimtion
of the sword aura released by the swordsman in white. This made him worry a bit.
''Huh?
Who''s there? There is somebody else''s sword aura present.''
The swordsman''s soul sensed the sword aura released by Austin. He immediately summoned a strong
sword aura and initiated an attack toward Austin''s level seven sword intent, thinking that Austin was
invading enemy.
Obviously, the swordsman''s soul couldn''t bear the existence of other sword aura beside him.
"Shit!"
Austin cursed, as he had sensed the attack from the soul of the swordsman. It was very powerful.
Austin didn''t even have time to defend himself.
''The swordsman''s soul has not only broken into my Soul Sea, but attacked me as well. He is quite
strong, and I can''t handle him on my own.
I must be very cautious. Or my soul might get hurt and I might be crazy!''
Austin thought. He was both angry and anxious now. He was fully aware of the implications. This was
indeed a very risky ordeal to do.
He released the level seven sword intent and his spiritual sense power and soon, seven beams of
sword radiance and five Spiritual Sense Flying Needles rushed toward the swordsman''s soul in order
to counterattack.
Austin was trying to force the soul of the swordsman to yield to him by using his spiritual sense power
and sword aura. But he didn''t even budge and was actually struggling to fight back.
They ended up getting on a skirmish and were suddenly attacking each other.
Austin stood still quietly, as if he was in a trance.
He was deeply concentrating on the ongoing battle in his Soul Sea.
Arge number of sword aura and intent rushed out from Austin''s Soul Sea. Like boiling water, they
rolled up and down in the space around him and split through the air before waving around. It was as if
his power was going crazy.
"This kid is no ordinary and simple swordsman! He seems to haveprehended a high level sword
intent. Just look at that spiritual energy he''s releasing.
It seems to be a level seven sword intent.
It looks like he is trying to use his sword intent to resist and force the remaining sword aura of the
sword to yield towards him.
Since he can resist the sword aura of that ancient sword for such a long time, he has quite a potential.
I''m starting to like him more and more.
Let''s wait and observe for a little bit longer. If the kid can''t really hold on any longer, I will help him out."
