Chapter 32: Sword Fight Under the Moonlight
Chapter 32: A Duel of Swords and Blades Under the Moonlight
After three rounds of wine, Tie Yunshan reminded him, “Nephew, don’t forget the important matter I just discussed with you.”
“Senior, rest assured, I’ve kept it in mind.”
Mu Jie sighed softly, “My aunt is truly too willful, too reckless. When I find her, I will definitely have a good talk with her.”
Mu Jie’s father is Mu Delun, the current head of the Mu Family, and Mu Delun’s older sister is Mu Xiaoyun, who is the aunt Mu Jie referred to.
“Just let me know once you’ve found a trace of her,” Tie Yunshan said with a smile, “so I can report back to the Gang Leader.”
With the assistance of the Mu Family, finding Jiang Sanjia, the mysterious Swordsman, Mu Xiaoyun, and others would be much easier.
“Alright.”
Mu Jie cupped his hands and mused, “As for that Swordsman, my Mu Family will also fully assist Senior. However, I have studied his sword Aura a bit, and it is indeed extraordinary.”
“Piaoxue Jian Xue Chen is a Second Rank Cultivator, and Gao Zixing, the Wufang Sword, is also a Second Rank. Both are renowned swordsmen in Jiangnan Province, ranking ninety-seventh and sixty-third on the dragon and tiger rankings respectively. This person’s swordsmanship is completely different from theirs, and I have never seen such swordsmanship in Jiangnan Province, which indicates that this person might not be from Jiangnan Province.”
Mu Jie is also a Swordsman. He once went to the Old Yuzhou Prison to observe that sword Aura and was deeply moved.
He only knew that this person’s swordsmanship was superb and unparalleled, but he didn’t know which sect or school it belonged to.
“It’s truly too bizarre. It’s extremely difficult to track down this person, which is why I used such a crude tactic of provocation.”
Tie Yunshan nodded. This Swordsman seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and Jiang Sanjia apparently had no prior acquaintance with such a person.
Regardless of his strength, his identity alone was already mysterious.
If it weren’t for Jiang Sanjia, he wouldn’t even want to investigate this Swordsman further.
Mu Jie smiled, “That Swordsman must be afraid and dare not appear again. He must have already secretly left Jiangnan Province by now. Senior, don’t take it too much to heart.”
“No, he definitely hasn’t left.”
Tie Yunshan shook his head. His intuition told him that the person hadn’t left.
“Oh? Why is Senior so certain?” Mu Jie asked curiously.
“No, no…”
Just then, a Cao Gang member stumbled in.
“Ghost… ghost… he’s here to kill.”
“What ghost?”
Mu Jie asked strangely, “What exactly is going on?”
“Oh no!”
Tie Yunshan’s eyes narrowed as he looked into the distance.
As that cold light rushed in, the bluestones on the ground began to crack inch by inch, then spread to the table. The panic-stricken gang member was directly pierced by this cold light, turning into a mist of blood.
Afterward, the sword light continued to surge forward, its target being Tie Yunshan.
“Crack!”
Tie Yunshan’s expression changed dramatically. He drew his two blades, and two arcs of light flew up, blocking the cold light.
“He’s here!”
Under the moonlight, a figure slowly approached, ethereal and seemingly merging with the moonlight in the sky and the flagstones on the ground. The sword in his hand had not yet been unsheathed, but it made one feel a prickling sensation on their back.
“That Swordsman!”
Mu Jie gasped, looking at the figure in front.
Just standing there, he exuded an imposing Aura.
Peerless Swordsman!
This was the true Peerless Swordsman!
Mu Jie prided himself on having met many masters, including some First Rank experts, but few gave him the same feeling as this Swordsman.
That confidence and sharp edge, a peerless demeanor.
“Drip!”
“Drip!”
The tiger’s mouth of Tie Yunshan’s hands, gripping the twin blades, was dripping blood. This was from forcibly parrying that sword light just now.
“You’ve finally come.” Tie Yunshan’s heart grew cold. When he hadn’t seen the sword light, he thought that Swordsman was no match for him.
Now seeing the person, he felt he had been a bit reckless.
“As you wish!” An Jing’s voice was calm and indifferent.
The moonlight slowly shone down. The Prodigy Mu Jie, standing nearby, was breathing heavily. In front of the two confronting each other, he felt as if he was suffocating.
Who was Tie Yunshan?
One of the Seven Vajra of the Cao Gang, a notorious figure in the Jianghu, whose twin scimitars were so fast and sharp that they had killed countless renowned masters.
Such a person might have the chance to enter the First Rank realm in the future, and in the absence of Grandmaster experts, he would be at the pinnacle of Jianghu masters.
That Peerless Swordsman, however, stirred his heart even more, his thoughts restless.
And he, Mu Jie, was usually a revered and respected Prodigy, yet he was still struggling to breathe.
Was this the confrontation between masters?
Mu Jie took a deep breath, his steps instinctively retreating backward, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
If Mu Jie only bore less than ten percent of this pressure, then Tie Yunshan bore ten, even a hundred times that amount.
That clash of Auras alone made him realize that the Swordsman before him was an unprecedented enemy in his life, as if no matter how fast his blades were, he had no strategy to defeat him.
“Your Excellency, surely you’ll at least state your identity?” Tie Yunshan asked in a low voice.
He was gathering his Aura.
An Jing smiled faintly, “I came here specifically, not to answer your irrelevant questions.”
“It seems I am still very important to Your Excellency.” Tie Yunshan laughed heartily.
“For me, it’s important that you’re not here,” An Jing said, shaking his head expressionlessly.
The atmosphere instantly solidified, as if the air had frozen into ice.
Tie Yunshan tightened his grip on his twin blades.
An Jing also remained silent, because in his eyes, Tie Yunshan in front of him was already a dead man, and he had little to say to a dead man.
The next moment!
Both moved. An Jing’s long sword moved like a Dragon and snake, heading straight for Tie Yunshan’s throat.
And Tie Yunshan’s curved blades were not undeserving of their reputation, especially after years of painstaking Cultivation, they had long been integrated into his bones, blood, and memory.
Curved blades are the most difficult of all blades to Cultivate, and dual curved blades are even more challenging. Few in the Jianghu can use dual curved blades, and most of them are masters.
Under the flashing blades and swords, the two exchanged dozens of moves.
Tie Yunshan gave his all, barely fending off the incoming sword light.
Their figures flickered, their speed so great that even Mu Jie, standing nearby, was startled. With his Fourth Rank Cultivation, he couldn’t keep up with their exchange of blows at all.
What did this indicate?
It indicated that if they wanted to kill him, it might only take one move.
Just one move could pierce his throat and kill him!
Before long, beads of sweat appeared on Tie Yunshan’s forehead. He felt completely suppressed and had to use his full strength.
Thinking this, he twisted his hands, and the twin blades in his hands became like a full moon.
“Chirp! Chirp!” “Chirp! Chirp!”
Two slashes of blade light cut out, reflecting the full moon in the sky.
Full Moon Curved Blade! Full Moon Unrivaled!
The blade light wasn’t fast, but by the time you reacted, it had already poured over you like moonlight.
Thanks to sp for the reward, thank you!!
