Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 42: Anomaly Secrets

"Everyone, please pause for a moment!"

Hu Yuanfu stepped forward and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Hu Yuanfu's words, many apprentices stopped their cultivation and looked at him.

"You have all been at the Hundred Blades Martial Hall for over a month!"

"Today, the master will demonstrate the second form of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber!"

"Let everyone witness the power of Saber Qi!"

Hu Yuanfu said loudly.

"Great, I can finally see Saber Qi!"

"I heard that Saber Qi can easily kill Anomalies. I wonder if it's true?"

"If only I could cultivate Saber Qi!"

...

The apprentices looked at Liang Xu with anticipation.

"Everyone, please excuse my humble skills!"

Liang Xu stepped forward with a long knife and said.

"The Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber technique is swift and unstoppable..."

After Liang Xu finished speaking, he quickly displayed the second form of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

Countless Qi energy emanated from the knife.

Causing the apprentices standing there to take a step back.

However, the apprentices still stared at the long knife in Liang Xu's hand.

Afraid of missing a move or technique.

A few minutes later, Liang Xu swung the long knife, and at that moment, a thunderous explosion resounded.

A terrifying white light shot out from the knife and quickly pierced into the artificial mountain in front.

Boom!

With a loud noise, a smooth cut appeared on the mountain, and then the entire mountain split in half.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

After using this Saber Qi, Liang Xu gasped for breath.

"Amazing!"

"So this is Saber Qi?"

"A single strike split such a huge stone in half!"

"I must diligently study the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber!"

...

The apprentices were all very excited.

Even Liang Weiwei, Hu Yuanfu, and others were excitedly looking at the broken stone in front.

Only Qin Feng looked at the artificial mountain in front with a strange expression.

He could easily shoot out more than a dozen Saber Qi like this.

It was nothing like Liang Xu, who was gasping for breath after shooting out just one Saber Qi.

Moreover, the power of his Saber Qi seemed to be more powerful than Liang Xu's.

"I have shown my incompetence!"

After resting for a while, Liang Xu finally clasped his fists towards the apprentices.

"Master, I have already cultivated the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber to Basic Accomplishment. When can I cultivate Saber Qi?"

An apprentice stepped forward and asked.

Liang Xu glanced at the apprentice and said, "You only need to work hard for two and a half years to successfully cultivate Saber Qi!"

Liang Xu smiled and answered the apprentices' questions.

A few minutes later, Liang Xu walked into the backyard with the knife on his back.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As soon as he entered the backyard, Liang Xu started coughing violently.

Liang Xu quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

When he removed the handkerchief from his mouth, it was already stained red.

"Dad!"

Liang Weiwei looked at Liang Xu with concern.

"Dad, it's nothing, just an old ailment acting up!"

Liang Xu waved his hand and then said, "Help me to the room, Weiwei!"

Liang Weiwei quickly helped Liang Xu to sit on a chair in the room.

After resting for a while, Liang Xu said, "Weiwei, there's something I need to tell you."

"Dad, whatever it is, just tell me."

Liang Weiwei said with a worried expression.

"First, close the front door and windows!"

Liang Xu pointed to the front door.

Liang Weiwei quickly closed the front door and windows.

"Weiwei, in the past ten years, have you ever left Eternal Peace County and Three Harmonies County?"

Liang Xu asked slowly.

"Dad, I have been in Eternal Peace County for the past ten years!"

"And you told me that Anomalies were rampant outside and not to wander around!"

Liang Weiwei shook her head.

Liang Xu closed his eyes for a moment before opening them and saying, "In fact, we have been trapped between Eternal Peace County and Three Harmonies County by a huge Anomaly!"

"Being trapped between Eternal Peace County and Three Harmonies County by a mysterious Anomaly is simply impossible."

Liang Weiwei immediately refuted.

She simply did not believe what Liang Xu said.

After all these years, she had been living a normal life in Eternal Peace County.

And she often saw refugees coming in from other places.

"In these years, besides seeing refugees coming in, have you seen anyone leaving Eternal Peace County and Three Harmonies County?"

"Even if it's the escorts from the escort agency, can they only escort to Three Harmonies County?"

Liang Xu slowly said.

"Leave?"

"Escort?"

Liang Weiwei's face was full of contemplation.

In the past ten years, Liang Xu had indeed not heard of anyone leaving.

And the escorts only escorted to Three Harmonies County.

Not a single one returned from the escorts to North Sea City.

Liang Xu took a sip of tea and continued, "I, Great Wei, hold the martial arts examination once a year!"

"But now, it has been more than ten years since we had the martial arts examination in Eternal Peace County and Three Harmonies County!"

"Martial arts examination?"

Liang Weiwei was stunned, instantly recalling her childhood when she had said she would participate in the martial arts examination of Great Wei in the future.

To become the first female martial arts champion of Great Wei.

But now she remembered that Eternal Peace County had not held a martial arts examination for more than ten years.

Liang Weiwei couldn't help but swallow her saliva and trembled as she said, "Why have we been living well after so many years?"

"Because back then, I and a peerless master were both seriously injured by that Anomaly, causing that mysterious Anomaly to fall into a deep sleep!"

"But in no more than three years, that mysterious Anomaly will wake up!"

Liang Xu's eyes were full of worry.

"What? It will wake up in three years?"

Liang Weiwei's eyes widened in shock.

If that mysterious Anomaly woke up, they would definitely become its nourishment.

"Father, is there any way to kill this mysterious Anomaly?"

Liang Weiwei asked again.

"Kill?"

Liang Xu shook his head slightly and said, "To kill this mysterious Anomaly, someone would have to cultivate the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber, Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique, Eternal Peace Footwork Technique, and Scorching Fire Archery Technique to the Perfected level before it wakes up."

"But it takes two and a half years just to cultivate the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber to Great Accomplishment."

"How is it possible for someone to cultivate all four techniques to Perfected within three years?"

After Liang Xu finished speaking, he sighed.

Liang Weiwei was completely dumbfounded!

She never expected that she would actually be the nourishment for a mysterious Anomaly.

"Father, hasn't the court noticed anything unusual about Eternal Peace County and Three Harmonies County?"

Liang Weiwei asked in astonishment.

"Ah!"

Liang Xu sighed and said, "Nowadays, there are rebellions everywhere, Anomalies are rampant, and the emperor only knows how to enjoy himself. How could he possibly pay attention to Eternal Peace County?"

After Liang Xu finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Weiwei, go down and practice the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber diligently!"

"As long as you cultivate the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber to Perfected, even if you can't kill that powerful Anomaly!"

"There will still be a chance to escape from Eternal Peace County!"

"Father, rest assured, your daughter will work hard to cultivate the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber!"

Liang Weiwei's eyes were full of determination.

After saying these words, Liang Weiwei left the room.

"Princess Nine, forgive this old servant's incompetence in not being able to protect your safety!"

"Sister, where are you now?"

Liang Xu watched Liang Weiwei leave and slowly closed his eyes.

In the front yard, Qin Feng was practicing the Tiger Breaking Gate Saber with many martial arts practitioners.

But Qin Feng's mind was not focused on it at all.

Instead, he carefully recalled Liang Xu's moves.

"Ah, if Liang Xu could demonstrate the second move of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber a dozen more times, I should be able to learn the second move of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber!"

Qin Feng sighed softly.

Liang Xu was the head of a martial arts hall, so he couldn't possibly practice the second move of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber in front of his apprentices all the time.

Just as Qin Feng sighed, Liang Weiwei walked out from inside.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Yuanfu hurriedly walked over.

But Liang Weiwei completely ignored Hu Yuanfu.

Instead, she silently stood in the martial arts field, practicing the second move of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber over and over again.
