Side Story: The Legend of Saber and Sword – Chapter 1 Heroes from Youngsters
In Snow Province in winter, it was snowing heavily.

The ground seemed to be covered with a thick white carpet, revealing a world of ice and snow.

A young man in a cyan robe, carrying a long sword on his back, was walking fast in the vast snow.

The young man was about ten years old. He was no longer childish. On his fair face, his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky. His bright eyes seemed to be able to see everything in the world, but he took nothing seriously.

All of a sudden, the young man stopped his hasty footsteps.

He closed his bright eyes, tilted his head slightly, and captured the information mixed in the wind.

There were a few miserable screams.

When he opened his eyes again, his bright eyes were full of killing intent. The young man flashed and disappeared in the snow in an instant.

Between the snow-capped mountains.

Within a small village.

The raging fire was burning. The ruins and broken walls were full of corpses lying in blood everywhere.

This village had suffered a raid.

Several bandits were surrounding a naked young woman. The woman was sitting stiffly on the snow with a pool of blood under her feet. If one looked carefully, one would find that she was dying. Her whole body was covered with scars, her legs had been cut off entirely, and the root of her thigh had been frozen black. Obviously, she had been humiliated beyond recognition.

The young woman raised her head and stared straight ahead, her hands stretched straight. It seemed that she was pleading for something. She maintained this position motionless, like an ice sculpture.

Following the woman’s gaze, one could see a bandit with a face full of scars, holding a baby in his arms with a ferocious smile on his face.

The scarred man looked at the dying woman, weighed the baby in his hand, and laughed wildly. “Hahaha, I haven’t tasted human flesh yet. I wonder if this baby is delicious or not. Let’s have a try today.” As he spoke, he pulled out a bright silver dagger and slashed it at the crying baby.

Right at this moment, the wind and snow suddenly became heavy, and a cyan shadow flashed. Everyone felt dazzled.

A young man in his teens, like a divine weapon, appeared in front of everyone.

The young man in cyan carried a long sword on his back. His bright eyes were shining like swords. He looked as angry as an erupting volcano as if he wanted to devour every soul.

Time seemed to have frozen at this moment.

The scarred man held the dagger in his hand, which stopped stiffly in the air.

The one-eyed bandit next to the scarred bandit asked in a trembling voice, “Who… who are you?”

“Qi Qingshan from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect,” the young man said coldly.

After the bandits heard his introduction, all their faces changed greatly, and the scarred man was so scared that he dropped his dagger on the ground.

The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was the second largest sect in the Snow Province. Over the years, it had dealt a great blow to the Demon Clan and the bandits in the province. Whenever the bandits met the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, they would only die.

“Are you alone?” Not far away, a bearded bandit saw that the young man was only in his teens, so he calmed down and tentatively asked him.

He held a long saber in his hand and spoke in a deep voice. It seemed that he was the leader of this group of bandits.

“I don’t need others’ help to kill you.” Qi Qingshan still gave a brief answer.

His tone was extremely cold. Although his voice was not loud, it was clear and full of killing intent as if he was talking in everyone’s ears.

“Hahaha, you’re really young. How dare you meddle in our business alone?” The bearded bandit leader was overjoyed when he heard that.

“Since the teenager is alone, it will be much easier to deal with. This boy is so young, even if he is a disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, how strong can he be? I have so many men with me. We’ll charge together and cut him into pieces. There will be no testimony of a witness.”

After the bearded bandit leader finished speaking, he grinned hideously and then activated his Qi. The long saber in his hand was surrounded by purple Qi.

“Die!”

With a low shout, the leader of the bandits with a big beard held his saber and marched forward with his steps crossed. He rushed toward the young man in cyan, like a python.

In an instant, the bearded man’s figure swayed, and he moved close to Qi Qingshan, with his long saber aiming at Qi Qingshan’s vital parts.

However, Qi Qingshan acted as if he had not seen it, and he did not even raise his eyebrows.

Seeing that the young man in cyan hadn’t made a move yet, everyone was overjoyed. Their leader’s saber technique was so fast. If the young man didn’t take action now, he would definitely have no chance to do it later.

Right at this moment-

Clang!

A sound of metal colliding was heard.

The crowd only felt that the lightning in front of them exploded, and countless lightning bolts exploded from the boy’s hands, like thunder from the Ninth Heaven.

The bearded man felt a gust of cold wind coming from his face as if Death was staring at him. Then, he felt light in his hand and a sharp pain in his chest. By the time he came to his senses, the long saber in his hand had been broken into two pieces.

One of them was held in his hand, while the other had been inserted into his chest, coming out from his back.

Everyone was astounded when they saw this.

This was simply what only gods and ghosts could do.

This young man was actually so terrifying.

Someone shouted as if he had lost his parents, and the others turned around and fled as well. They only wished that they had two more legs.

But how could they possibly escape?

Qi Qingshan moved, and in an instant, the sky was full of illusions. Sword Light filled the air. He silently activated the sword formula, and the long sword was drawn out of the sheath.

Suddenly, there was a tsunami-like force in the void, surging like an earthquake and avalanche, which made people panic. In an instant, countless streaks of Sword Light cut through the void, like trial lightning. Dozens of bandits who were fleeing desperately were pierced by the Sword Light and all died.

Outside the village.

Qi Qingshan was holding a baby girl in his arms.

She was the only survivor of the village.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her for you.” The cyan-clothed young man looked at the young woman who still had her eyes opened, and he sighed lightly.

A trace of gratitude flashed through the young woman’s eyes when she heard what he said.

She was just an ordinary person. After suffering such a serious injury, her life had long since come to an end. It was only because she was still worried about the baby girl that she struggled to hold on to keep breathing. Now that her daughter was finally safe and there was an expert who had promised to take care of her, she was relieved and completely stopped breathing.

The baby was sleeping soundly, clutching the clothes of the young man in cyan with both hands. The young man was afraid that the baby would feel cold, so he wanted to put her little hands back into the quilt. Unexpectedly, he couldn’t resist the baby for a while.

The young man in cyan smiled and his bright eyes seemed to flash suddenly.

Qi Qingshan said to the baby in a gentle voice, “Come on, let’s go back to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.”

In a blink of an eye, sixteen years had passed.

Qi Qingshan, the former No. 1 Genius of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, was now well-known in the Snow Province. With a long sword that was almost invincible, he was regarded as the No. 1 Swordsman in the Snow Province, a giant figure. He also became the youngest elder in the history of the sect and had a pivotal position in the sect.

As for the baby girl who had survived the war, she had also grown into a beautiful young woman.

Not only did she successfully pass the selection and assessment of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, but she also showed excellent qualifications. With rapid progress in cultivation, she became the first disciple of Qi Qingshan, and her strength had long approached the Primordial Grandmaster Realm.

This little girl’s name was Lixue.

In the past few years, she had always been taken care of by Qi Qingshan. In addition, she had outstanding talent, so she had a bright future in martial arts. Of course, what gratified her the most was that this lifesaver, who was also her guide and friend, finally promised to accept her as a disciple half a year before.

On the top of the Sword-hidden Peak, there stood one man.

This person wore a long cyan robe, and his figure was tall and straight. His sharp brows reached his temples, and he emitted an aura of awe-inspiring righteousness. His long hair hung loosely over his shoulders, adding a bit of heroicness to him. The pair of most bright and deep eyes seemed to enchant one’s soul with a single glance.

Who else could this man be but Qi Qingshan?

“Master.” A sweet voice interrupted Qi Qingshan’s meditation.

Qi Qingshan turned around to look over.

A graceful figure slowly appeared on the stone steps of the mountain. Instantly, the air seemed to have solidified. The strong wind blowing on the mountain suddenly became gentle, gently blowing up the girl’s ink-black long hair.

The young girl walked up the stairs step by step. The first thing that came into view was her clear eyes. Such innocent and pure eyes would be unforgettable for the rest of one’s life, even if one only took a glance at them. Under her eyes, there was a blush on her cheeks, a high nose bridge, and cherry lips full of smiles. Everything about her seemed to be made by nature. It was as if her facial features were carefully crafted by the most outstanding sculptor.

She was wearing a beautiful green dress, and her graceful figure was dancing in the breeze. The green dress highlighted her fair and delicate skin. She was like a fairy in the wind. Her beauty did not reject people thousands of miles away but showed a sense of intimacy and loveliness.

“Have you finished your cultivation today?” Qi Qingshan smiled slightly.

“Yes. Martial Uncle has ordered that in three days, the disciples below the Primordial Realm in the sect will go out for training to fight against demons and eliminate the bandits in the northwest.” Lixue came to her master’s side and said with a smile, “Master, I want to go there too.”

“You want to go out for training?” Hearing this, Qi Qingshan thought for a while and nodded. “Well, it’s time for you to go out to see the world!”

“Thank you, Master.” With that said, Lixue was overjoyed.

Qi Qingshan sat cross-legged under the 10,000-year-old peach tree, looking through the void. It was unknown what he was thinking.

Lixue took out the wooden comb she carried with her and helped him tidy up his messy hair as usual.

Since Lixue was eight years old, what she had to do every day was to help Qi Qingshan comb his hair.

Qi Qingshan was naturally unrestrained. He did not care about formality and did not object to her help. Especially in recent years, when Lixue combed his hair, it was actually the time when his mind was the most relaxed and clear. It nourished his Divine Senses and warmed his Qi, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast. It was really wonderful.

“Master, thank you.” Lixue wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. She said, “If you hadn’t saved me back then, I…”

“Everything that happens is destined,” Qi Qingshan said softly,

Lixue’s face was slightly red.

Qi Qingshan shook his head and sighed. “I saved you back then and got myself into big trouble. Since you were still a baby, I have never been able to make you change your mind, little girl, and I’ve always listened to you.”

Lixue’s face turned even redder, and her breathing grew rapid.

“When you were eight years old, you still liked to hang on to my cyan robe. Until now, I don’t even know how many of my clothes have been torn by you.” Qi Qingshan joked, which was rare.

“Humph. I wonder which genius secretly cultivated a forbidden art of the sect and was punished to face the wall for three years. During those three years, I delivered meals to you every day.” Lixue didn’t show any weakness, and she also took out her trump card. Clearly, she had more trump cards.

“Sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now that you are also a Semi Primordial Master, you can go down the mountain to explore the martial arts world. It is good for you to see the outside world more often,” Qi Qingshan said.

“Master, I’m already a Nine-apertured Great Martial Mentor. I’ll definitely break through to the Primordial Realm in the future,” Lixue swore.

Qi Qingshan nodded with satisfaction. He was quite confident in Lixue’s strength.

Hearing Qi Qingshan’s rare praise, Lixue blushed again.

As the only disciple of Qi Qingshan for so many years, she cherished this hard-won opportunity very much.

But somehow, there was faint sadness in her heart. Gradually, she no longer hoped that Qi Qingshan was only her master. If possible, she didn’t want to be the disciple of the extraordinary man in front of her. She wanted to be his partner and his. lover.
