1459 Words
‘I didn’t see the content of that Scroll’ Shi Yuan laughed again and then he said
‘I am not a fool like those bald donkeys. Do not force my hand, Brother Bai. A secret manual is it more precious than the life of your granddaughter and disciple?’ He asks.
Bai Qingniu felt his heart dropped.
Shi Yuan, the One Blade. This title is gained because of his blade that is thick and heavy with imposing carving patterns of tigers on its edges.,
It is said, that the blade is quenched with some kind of special fire creating a powerful blade that has never been broken since the time of its inception.
The blade is given to him by his teacher Blade Monarch Wei Yan.
Since the first year he come out of his sect and made his name in Jianghu, his blade had never been broken and as sharp as it has been since he brought it out
His blade is not fast.
It is slow.
But it is powerful.
It is why even with his measly internal energy he could overpowered many of those experts who have powerful internal energy but shallow understanding of their weapons.
At this time, Shi Yuan widened his eyes and take a stance.
‘You force me doing this!’ He said as dashed forward toward Xu Wen. Xu Wen was shocked and tried to thrust forward the sword on his hand.
‘No!’ Bai Qingniu shouted
The blade and sword clash. A flash of sparks appeared lighting up the area for a second
Tting!
The sound echoes in the hut and a scream sounded.
A broken sword lays on the middle of the hut, the blade is only inches away from Xu Wen neck, the shine of the tiger pattern edges is blinding to Xu Wen eyes.
Xu Wen wrist is bleeding and his face is pale as blood drips down his wrist like a slowly opening tap of water.
Smiling Shi Yuan turns his blade to the dull part of his blade and push it toward Xu Wen body.
Xu Wen was thrown backward ten paces away before falling to the ground, blood coming out of his wrist.
Shi Yuan then stand in front of Xu Wen body, his back on Xu Wen side, his front looking at Bai Qingniu.
Then like nothing had happened he said
‘Your disciple would die if you could not come to him, brother Bai to give him any treatment. Give me the Scroll and I would give you the opportunity of saving his life.’
The exchange was too fast and the change in position was so swift that Bai Qingniu was shocked.
Bai Pingting behind her grandfather back is trying to stop herself from crying as she looks toward her senior brother
Bai Qingniu look at his disciple and the bleeding of his disciple wrist and he did not know what he should do now.
he is in a dilemma.
This secret of his has now had threatened to destroy his new life.
But he knows that if he gives the scroll to Shi Yuan, this person who is already powerful and cruel, the consequences would be even more dire.
If Shi Yuan gained the Longevity Scroll and manage to train in it, one could only imagine the havoc that he would unleash to the world.
Shi Yuan right now is relaxed and as he looks at Bai Qingniu with a smirk on his face. The wind blows and the sound of a few things in the dark fills the area of the forest.
Everything feel like it is under his grasp. suddenly he feels something is wrong.
His smirk falters and he could sense the wind changes a bit around him.
‘Something wrong!’ he thought to himself and he quickly make a move. He took a stab in the dark and turns his body away.
Swish!
The sound of wind tearing could be heard as the front of the hut was cut cleanly into two. The sound of the wind it is like the roaring of a beast
Bai Qingniu also heard it and Xu Wen and Bai Pingting also heard it. A sudden change again and the circumstance would change again
At this time everyone is shocked. Shi Yuan remembers the wounds of his junior brother. A sneak attack on his body.
At this time, Shi Yuan did not hesitate and decisive in his action.
Shi Yuan still did not see who is the one that is attacking him but he immediately sends a blade strike to the direction of that sword strike.
The sword glare and the blade glare shines in the hut.
Sword strike and blade strike clashed with each other and the impact of the shock messes up the many things inside the hut as the entire hut seems to be shaken and some of the simple furniture inside the hut exploded
Shi Yuan felt his hand slightly stiffened. The force of that sword strike is very powerful that it forces him to take a step backward.
He wanted to push on and attack again. But another wind tearing sound appears.
In the darkness of night, it is hard to see but Shi Yuan could see something is flying towards him
‘Anqi’ he said.
Flying daggers is coming to claim his life.
He pushed his feet, gliding backward, while swinging his blade. One swig to the left, a dagger flew to the left side of the hut. He now at the entrance of the hut
A swing to the right, the second dagger flew toward the window edges, and stuck there and he is now outside the hut door.
Slicing forward, the third dagger pushed to the ground. Shi Yuan took another step backward and another dagger few out. And the further he moves backward from the hut as he swing his blade left and right to repel he daggers.
He is now out of the hut and the attack of the daggers stop.
Around him is dagger stuck to the ground, and some others are stuck to the trees and wooden wall that surrounded the hut.
The dagger stop flying out and Shi Yuan stop swinging his blade. There is a rare silence around the area of the hut as Shi Yuan eyes narrowed.
The initiative of battle was taken away from him and he still could not see who his enemy was. The attack was fast and deadly.
If not for his instinct that felt like someone is behind him, he would probably suffer massive injuries right now
Is this the killer of his junior brother? he thought to himself as he looks at the hut again.
He is now once again outside of the hut, looking cautiously at the hut. He almost wanted to scoff at himself.
He was high spirits when he entered the hut, believing that he could handle any experts that crop up.
He believes that the expert would not be that powerful considering that Wang Li did not die by some overwhelming force instead losing the initiative of the battle
Now, he himself nearly fall down to the same strike that crippled the ability of his junior brother to extricate himself from the situation.
Shi Yuan could feel the forcefulness of the sword strike of that expert. The sword is full of force, and its power is very overbearing.
He looks toward the hut but because it is dark and no one seems to make any moves he did not see any experts but he knows that whoever execute that sword strike is in there.
He did not take a step forward and his face is solemn. He knows that there is nothing he could say to persuade Bai Qingniu to hand the scroll.
Because he did not come here to persuade anyone.
He come here to take what he wants. That is why he aimed for Bai Qingniu weakness which is his granddaughter and his disciple.
Decades had passed and Bai Qingniu is also no longer the same
His solemn face is because the task that he thinks could easily be handled prove to be not so easy.
Because right now, dripping from the side of his waist is his blood.
The person attacked him from behind after he had injured Bai Qingniu disciple. He was high in spirits and let up his guard down and the expert took advantage of that
‘Come out!’ He shouted
Inside the hut, hiding behind a barrel, Li Xian smirks and said to himself
‘You told me to come out and I obediently come out. What do you think I am? An i***t?’
The answer to Shi Yuan shout is silence
