“Just a casual swing, is that right?”
Wen Hu Jiu, as if hearing some unacceptable news, opened his mouth in astonishment: “You call that sky-filling rain of swords that forced Su Mu Yu and Gu Jian Men to their knees, a casual swing?!”
Good heavens, what a sight.
Wen Hu Jiu, today, has truly seen something extraordinary.
He originally thought that it was some peerless sword art that Wen Nan Tian had learned or mastered, but it turned out to be nothing more than a casual swing from his dear nephew?!
“If you like, Uncle, you can call it something like ‘One Sword Makes Immortals Kneel’ or ‘Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin’,” Wen Nan Tian shrugged, Deng Tai A’s sword art was all self-created, and he was too lazy to give it a name.
And his sword strike, was indeed just a casual swing, simply an application of his sword intent, sword art, and Heavenly Dao martial power. Wen Nan Tian didn’t think it was anything special.
He still had his true peerless sword, a sword art that could kill even celestial beings from the heavens, which he hadn’t even used yet.
“‘One Sword Makes Immortals Kneel’, ‘Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin’, good heavens, you have a knack for naming things.” Wen Hu Jiu, staring in astonishment at Wen Nan Tian’s back, took two steps in three, quickly catching up with a playful smile.
...
“Wen Family, Wen Nan Tian, is it?”
“Very well, I’ve taken note of this name!”
Su Mu Yu wiped the blood from his mouth, rising to look at Gu Jian Men: “Young Master Ling Yun, let’s call it a day for today, but I hope you’ll heed my suggestion.”
As he spoke, Su Mu Yu raised his hand and put on his mask, his black umbrella trembling, dropping a strange long sword.
“If you’ve made up your mind, Young Master, you can throw this sword out of the Gu Family, and the Dark River will come to your aid.”
With that, Su Mu Yu turned his umbrella and disappeared in a few steps.
With Wen Nan Tian stirring the pot, the two naturally wouldn’t continue fighting, so the battle ended there.
“He truly is the leader of the assassin group directly under the Dark River Patriarch, Kui. Even after being injured by Wen Nan Tian’s strike, he can still leave so calmly.” Gazing at Su Mu Yu’s retreating back, Gu Jian Men took a few deep breaths, his eyes filled with apprehension.
“And that young man who just appeared, Wen Nan Tian of the Wen Family… a small monster from the Southern Ridge Wen Family? At such a young age, he’s already entered the Realm of the Unfettered, and even I and Su Mu Yu combined couldn’t withstand one of his attacks!”
“But, to be the number one of the Southwest, he’s still a little short.”
The two biggest families in the Southwest are the Gu Family and the Yan Family, that’s true, but for Wen Nan Tian to single-handedly suppress the entire Southwest, to reach the top, he’s still not enough.
Because, Gu Jian Men is only the first genius among the younger generation of the Southwest, not the number one of the Southwest.
Su Mu Yu is also not qualified.
To suppress them, Wen Nan Tian could become famous throughout the world and dominate the Southwest, but to reach the top, he’s a little short.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
As Gu Jian Men was thinking, his throat itched, and he coughed up blood again. At that moment, the Gu Family’s servants quickly came to his side: “Young Master, are you alright?”
“It’s nothing, just a minor injury. Neither Su Mu Yu nor Wen Nan Tian had any intention to kill just now, they didn’t go all out. I’ll be fine after a little rest.”
Gu Jian Men circulated his Qi and calmed the surging blood caused by the backlash of his martial techniques, then stood up and looked at Li Su Li: “Li Su Li, help me back.”
“Yes, Young Master, be careful.”
Li Su Li stepped forward and carefully supported Gu Jian Men.
Gu Jian Men saw that he hesitated, as if he had something to say, so he said: “Say it, if you have something to say.”
“Young Master, what did Su Mu Yu of the Dark River say just now?”
Li Su Li asked in confusion.
“Our enemies are brutes, but those who come to cooperate… are demons.”
Gu Jian Men shook his head solemnly, then as if thinking of something, he laughed lightly: “With my elder brother gone, my heart is troubled. Su Mu Yu’s arrival came just in time, I needed someone to have a real fight with.”
“But…”
Li Su Li asked curiously: “But?”
“But, it’s not without unexpected gains.” Gu Jian Men looked up at the clouds slowly dispersing in the sky, the rain was easing, and after the threat of a storm, came clear skies.
“Unexpected gains?”
Li Su Li looked at Gu Jian Men in astonishment, then thought of something: “Is it that young man from the Wen Family?”
“The old established signboard of the Southern Ridge Wen Family, isn’t it a better match than the Dark River?” Gu Jian Men asked with a smile. This was something he had just thought of. The Gu Family needed external support, and he did too. The Wen Family, maybe they could be good partners.
“The Wen Family? Indeed, they are a top-notch brand in the martial world.”
Li Su Li, smiling, supported Gu Jian Men and returned to his room.
…
The sky, which had been shrouded in dark clouds, stopped raining.
In just half an incense stick’s time, the rain had cleared, and the sky was clear and bright.
“After the rain, rainbows hang, after clear skies, fog dissipates. The rain has cleared!”
At a street corner in Longshou Street, a young man looked up at the clear sky and let out a sigh of inexplicable admiration, whether it was for the fickle weather or the changing situation in Chaisang City.
The young man was dressed in silk brocade, with deep eyes, sharp facial features, exquisite and flawless features, a tall and straight figure, and an innate youthful charm in his every step.
Every move he made exuded an un掩藏able nobility.
“What have you been thinking about all this time?”
The speaker was a young man in rough cloth beside him, also handsome, with an air of unruliness and arrogance, a clear sign of a wandering warrior.
These two were none other than Wen Hu Jiu and Wen Nan Tian’s target, Bai Li Dong Jun.
And the young man he had made friends with, Si Kong Chang Feng.
“I was thinking about the person who just used one sword to force those two masters to their knees,” Bai Li Dong Jun didn’t hide it from Si Kong Chang Feng, he admitted frankly, “That person feels very familiar to me, as if I’ve seen him somewhere before.”
“Don’t tell me you know that super strong guy who forced those two masters to their knees with one sword?” Si Kong Chang Feng opened his mouth in astonishment, full of doubt. He’s a person who hangs around in the martial world, after all, and he recognizes Young Master Ling Yun.
The other person’s move seemed to have the might of heaven and earth, like the Realm of the Unfettered that’s rumored in the martial world.
Such a master was forced to kneel by that person with one sword, how could Bai Li Dong Jun possibly know such a super master?
“I don’t know him, but I’m sure I’ve seen him.”
Bai Li Dong Jun was very sure of that, but he couldn’t figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it, casually waving his hand and taking Si Kong Chang Feng to his tavern.
