Kill Me More Times, I'll Become Invincible-Chapter 365:

Qiao Mu walked on the main street of Yan City, his gaze sweeping over the old houses on either side of the street.

For Yan City, just two short years had passed, and the changes were not very significant.

In Qiao Mu’s memory, time seemed to stretch for a thousand years.

The commoners living in the outer city might have different experiences due to disasters, but the houses in the inner city were quite similar, just like Qiao Mu remembered.

He casually entered a noodle shop by the roadside and sat at a table facing the street, ordering a bowl of longevity noodles.

"Sir, you’re in luck. We only make ten bowls of longevity noodles a day, specially for celebrating birthdays of the elderly…" The shop owner rambled on beside him.

"These longevity noodles symbolize a long life. The longer the noodle, the longer the life. You mustn’t break it with your teeth, use chopsticks to pick it up…"

"I don’t remember hearing about this before…" Qiao Mu paid no attention to the shop owner’s chatter, simply slurping his noodles while observing the passersby on the street.

Indeed, these longevity noodles were a dish eaten during local birthday celebrations, symbolizing a long and healthy life.

Each time after Qiao Mu died and was reborn, he would order a bowl of longevity noodles at this Yan City noodle shop as a simple way to celebrate his rebirth, having a birthday every few days.

However, perhaps due to dying too frequently and quickly, this habit eventually faded away.

While eating noodles, a big, dark man walked up to the shop. It was bandit Zhang Kui.

After Zhang Kui and his gang entered Yan City with Qiao Mu, they split up. Qiao Mu went to find his old followers, while Zhang Kui went to visit the City Lord’s mansion with his former companions.

After Wang Songhe became the South King and left Yan City, he handed over the position of City Lord to one of his trusted bandits.

Qiao Mu asked Old Huang for information, while Zhang Kui asked his old friends, and eventually they ended up meeting each other again.

"I never expected our leader to become the South King…" bandit Zhang Kui said with a hint of sadness.

The information he gathered matched what Old Huang had heard: Wang Songhe intentionally became the South King.

However, bandit Zhang Kui was still puzzled. Wang Songhe wasn’t an ordinary bandit; he used to be an upright official who even dared to oppose the emperor. How could such a noble person like Wang Songhe join forces with the Immortal Gate?

In Wang Songhe’s view, bandits were criminals who robbed on the mountains, completely opposed to his values. How could he associate with them?

"Teaming up with the Immortal Gate is no simple matter. It’s like making a deal with a tiger for its skin," Qiao Mu shook his head.

"On the path to immortality, without the support of blessings, progress can be very difficult. Wang Songhe wanted to join the Immortal Gate, seeking wealth and danger. This idea may not be wrong, but the Immortal Gate is no fool."

In recent years, Qiao Mu has clashed with many major Immortal Gates, having died countless times, understanding the vastness of the path to immortality.

When Qiao Mu left Nan Province, Wang Songhe had not yet reached the Foundation Building stage.

The cultivation of the path to immortality takes time and accumulation. Even if one breaks through to the top, it would take at least two years to reach the Foundation Building Stage.

Going further without entering the Immortal Gate and receiving blessings is almost impossible.

So, with the cultivation of the Foundation Building Stage, Wang Songhe challenged the Immortal Gate Xuantian Sect, seeking wealth and danger. While this courage is admirable, the chances of success are indeed small.

Qiao Mu expressed cautious optimism.

"Indeed," the mountain bandit Zhang Kui said.

"This matter is complicated. It is best to ask the leader in person to truly understand his intentions. Information from others may not be accurate."

Qiao Mu also nodded.

"If there is any movement from Wang Songhe, you can go to Peach Blossom Villa to look for Qiao Xin."

Bandit Zhang Kui looked surprised, "According to Mr. Qiao, are you ready to leave?"

"That’s right," Qiao Mu spoke:

"The situation with South King is true, and it was Wang Songhe’s voluntary choice. I know that’s enough."

"Next, I have another important matter to attend to. I need to temporarily leave Nan Province and go explore Southeast Province Sword Tomb."

That day, when Qiao Mu led the people of the Great Desert to leave Hundred-mile Desert, Earth Sword Immortal turned into a sword and the sword was taken by Elder Qingzhuo.

Later, Qiao Mu once promised to Wooden Sword Walker Lu Yanbei, saying that one day in the future, he would visit the Great Dao Sect and personally retrieve the stone sword transformed by Earth Sword Immortal.

If the God Sword mentioned by the Leader of Yunxiao Sect is really Earth Sword Immortal’s…

This could be a trap set by the Great Dao Sect, or Earth Sword Immortal may have temporarily escaped control of Master Qingzhuo.

It’s better to deal with this matter sooner rather than later!

Since the South King’s situation is confirmed true and Wang Songhe volunteered, it’s difficult to figure out where Wang Songhe is at the moment.

So, Qiao Mu’s top priority naturally falls on the Southeast Province’s divine sword.

Slurp…

After finishing his noodles, Qiao Mu drank all the soup, then walked out of the noodle shop and headed to a nearby tea house near the North Gate.

The tea house was relatively quiet at this time, with only a few customers in the main hall.

The storyteller who was talking earlier was now taking a break, sipping tea at a table in the corner.

When Qiao Mu approached, the storyteller quickly stood up, looking slightly nervous.

"Are you from Tide Listening Building?" Qiao Mu asked softly.

"Indeed, can’t escape the watchful eyes of Qiao Pianxin senior…" the storyteller chuckled lightly.

Earlier, when he entered the city, he listened to the storyteller at the teahouse at the city gate telling stories, and felt that this storyteller was somewhat extraordinary. Now, upon asking, it was indeed so…

Tide Listening Building is an anomaly in the martial world, gathering many strange individuals… Having traveled through the one hundred thousand mountains of Southwest Province and dealt with many demons, Qiao Mu now realized the truth. These so-called extraordinary individuals were likely mostly half-demons.

"I want to inquire about some martial arts matters from Tide Listening Building." Qiao Mu took out several pieces of silver and placed them on the table.

When Peach Blossom Villa was founded, Qiao Mu not only received martial arts secrets from the martial world guests, but also some guests who were reluctant to reveal their own secrets, so they felt guilty and gave some gold and silver as gifts.

"I heard that there is a divine sword in Southeast Province’s Sword Tomb that can speak. I want to inquire about this matter. Is it related to the Earth Sword Immortal who transformed into a sword in the desert of Zhong Province?"

While he heard about these things from Yunxiao Sect Leader, after all, he was an Immortal Sect Leader. It’s always wise to be a little cautious.

The storyteller did not reach out to take them.

The Qiao family member hesitated to take the money but also didn’t want to refuse it.

So he smiled and said beside him:

"Why bother Senior Qiao with such small things? It’s just a simple task."

"This legendary sword does exist. As for its connection to Earth Sword Immortal, I am not sure… But the Nascent Soul Elder Qingzhuo from the Great Dao Sect has been seen in Southeast Province in recent months."

"People in the martial world haven’t linked this sword to Earth Sword Immortal, as it appeared in the Sword Tomb. Many believe this mysterious sword is connected to the Sword Tomb."

"It seems this sword has caught the attention of many… So it’s better to act sooner rather than later and investigate it."

Qiao Mu thought to himself.

He asked again:

"Is this Sword Tomb a martial arts sect?"

"In the current Jiu Province, there aren’t any major sects left," the storyteller said.

"Speaking of the Sword Tomb, it does have a great reputation. Many famous swords have been crafted there, including one that was used by the respected Qiao Pianxin in the past."

"This sword is the Human Emperor Sword, which was held by the founding emperor of the Great Yan Imperial Court."

Qiao Mu raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.

"Please tell me more about this Sword Tomb."

"Hundreds of years ago, there was a Sword Casting Village in the Southeast Province. The owner of the village was not only a renowned martial artist of his time but also the top swordsmith in Jiu Province."

"The famous swordsmith’s reputation spread far and wide, and within the Sword Casting Village, there were naturally countless precious swords. As a result, people seeking swords flocked to the village without end."

"As the saying goes, beauty remains with a beauty, and heroes deserve precious swords. The owner of the village was not stingy. He set a rule that any skilled swordsman in the martial world could enter the village to seek a precious sword."

"A hero with a sharp sword like cutting through mud naturally becomes more formidable. With a hero as the owner, a precious sword can also gain fame. They complement each other perfectly."

"The owner of that mansion didn’t care about right or wrong. He only gave the sword to a skilled swordsman, as long as the latter agreed to one condition: when they grew old and weak, retired from the martial world, or even passed away, they needed to return the sword to the mansion, bury it inside the Sword Tomb on the mountain, as a gift to a destined person."

"It seems like Founding Emperor Yan did not return the sword," Qiao Mu interrupted suddenly.

The storyteller chuckled a little.

"At the time of the founding emperor’s passing, his sword had already become a national treasure, like the seal of Great Yan. Even if the royal family of Great Yan wanted to return it, Sword Casting Village might not have dared to accept it."

"In short, the Sword Casting Village and Sword Tomb once had a great reputation in Jiu Province. Although not a martial arts sect, their fame and influence were second only to the former Shaolin and Wudang schools…"

"This kind of mansion, indeed, sounds like it couldn’t last long," Qiao Mu remarked sharply.

"They provoked someone they shouldn’t have," the storyteller explained.

"There was once a martial arts master, self-titled Sword Demon. After paying his respects to the mountain, instead of asking for a sword, Sword Demon killed the owner of the Sword Casting Village, took his sword, and destroyed the entire Sword Casting Village."

"And the rest of the famous swords in Sword Casting Village were also buried by him inside the Sword Tomb on the mountain."

"Thus, Sword Casting Village no longer exists, only Sword Tomb remains, which has stood for hundreds of years now."

Qiao Mu nodded.

Since the Sword Tomb is a place where the Human Emperor Sword of the Founding Emperor Yan once appeared, it would make sense for another divine sword that can speak to emerge today, wouldn’t it?

In any case, the other martial artists didn’t even consider this matter in the direction of the Earth Sword Immortal.

But he, the person who witnessed the Earth Sword Immortal transforming into a sword, had a different idea.

Whether this matter is true or false…now that this divine sword has appeared and caused a stir in the martial arts world, it should be visited as soon as possible.

…………………………………………

Exiting the teahouse, Qiao Mu wandered alone in the streets of Yan City.

He walked through the streets and alleys of the outer city district where he once lived, then strolled casually through the main street of the inner city district all the way to the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Is Senior Qiao really leaving?" Bai Qingsi appeared quietly and gazed steadily at Qiao Mu.

In recent years, the deeds of the Qiao family members have made quite a name in Jiu Province.

Such a legendary martial arts figure, with close ties to her Old Huang family, she admired greatly in her heart.

"Yes, he is leaving. If you want to study martial arts diligently, you can go to Mount Dong outside the city, and look for Peach Blossom Villa, where the Qiao family awaits." Qiao Mu said loudly.

He was not just speaking to Bai Qingsi but also using her to pass the message to other martial arts experts in Nan Province.

Being renowned attracts talented individuals.

The more young talents like Bai Qingsi, the better.

Peach Blossom Villa is a place for studying martial arts, where more talented individuals can gather to exchange ideas, promoting the development of martial arts in Jiu Province.

With the words spoken and old acquaintance reminisced, Qiao Mu naturally turned and departed.

A chubby cat jumped out from the shadows, leapt onto his shoulder, its furry tail wrapped around Qiao Mu’s neck like a scarf.

A small Jingwei flew low above his head, occasionally landing on his shoulder and gently grooming its feathers.

Bai Qingsi steadily watched Qiao Mu’s back as he walked out of the city gate.

She felt this person’s figure was majestic, like a mountain, making her thoughts and emotions surge.

This is not only about Qiao Mu’s extraordinary martial arts skills and intimidating presence, but also the generations of Qiao family members before him who have built up a great reputation.

When Qiao Mu entered the city two years ago, he was still a young man.

Two years later, when Qiao Mu returned, he had become a martial arts giant in Jiu Province.

Baichuan City in Southeast Province.

Southeast Province, also known as Sea City, is a coastal area.

Baichuan City, named after the meaning of "all rivers flowing into the sea," is the largest port in Southeast Province.

This place is densely populated and is also a major seaport, known for its mix of all kinds of people since ancient times.

At this moment, inside the Tianxiang Pavilion in Baichuan City.

This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.

Bang!

A giant man with a leopard-like face and sharp eyes kicked open the door of Tianxiang Pavilion.

Along with the Tianxiang Pavilion’s door, the old madam of Tianxiang Pavilion, as well as several strong bouncers, fell down together.

"You are courting disaster by daring to cause trouble at Tianxiang Pavilion!" The old madam spat out blood, still full of anger, pointing at the man who broke in through the door.

This Tianxiang Pavilion is a well-known brothel in the city, able to do such big business in Baichuan City, naturally not an ordinary person behind it.

But the fierce-looking man with a leopard-patterned headband just laughed coldly, stepped into the Tianxiang Building, and crushed the madam under his foot.

"Normally, I wouldn’t dare."

"But now that the God Sword has appeared in the world, obtaining it means acquiring exceptional swordsmanship. With this new power, who would still fear you at the Tianxiang Building?"

Behind the fierce-looking man with a leopard-patterned headband, dozens of martial arts experts with bulging temples walked towards the Tianxiang Building, surrounding it entirely.

"Search! That little brat is hiding here, we must find him!"

Inside a room on the second floor of the Tianxiang Building.

A young man in a white robe, with a pained expression on his face, was smiling bitterly at a stone sword on the table:

"Brother Sword, Brother Sword, I told you it was a critical moment, not a time to visit brothels, yet you insisted on coming… now look what happened."

"The situation is dire now, Brother Sword, could you teach me a couple of moves to help me shake off the pursuers?"
