Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 61 — Sound Sword Technique
"You, you barbaric man!"
Linxia's face instantly became a crimson red when he realized that a man had seen him shower. His emotions peaked and his gaze was filled with a strong killing intent.
Zhou Yuan immediately turned his face in fear of seeing that further. "Miss, this is just a misunderstanding, I just-..."
Linxia instantly snatched his dress as Zhou Yuan turned his face, he drew his sword before moving to attack Zhou Yuan. The girl did not allow Zhou Yuan to end his remark.
If not for his sharp instincts Zhou Yuan might have been too late to dodge the girl's attack so suddenly, even if he managed to dodge, a scratch wound was engraved on his cheek.
Zhou Yuan's expression turned ugly and immediately took some distance, just a second he was too late to dodge maybe his life had already drifted earlier.
Zhou Yuan gulped, "Miss, I accidentally came here. I was-I..."
"Shut up, shut up!"
Linxia really did not let Zhou Yuan speak any further, once again he moved closer to him before attacking him with a sword technique.
Zhou Yuan avoided every swing of the girl's sword while trying to talk to her, just how many words came out, Linxia remained unwilling to hear, the girl really wanted to kill him.
After several attacks Linxia frowned looking at Zhou Yuan being able to dodge his sword attacks easily. It made him shower Zhou Yuan more seriously.
"You can avoid my attack but what about this one..."
Linxia's swordplay suddenly changed, Zhou Yuan raised one eyebrow as he felt his opponent's sword swing rhythm become different.
"This movement... No way! How can you use the Sound Sword Technique!" Zhou Yuan was shocked when he recognized the sword technique the girl used.
This time Linxia was also surprised, he immediately jumped back and took some distance from Zhou Yuan.
"You, how do you know that?!"
"I should ask that, how can a sword technique that has disappeared in history even if it can be used by you?"
Zhou Yuan was very familiar with the Sound Sword Technique as he was also capable of performing the technique.
In his first life, the user of the Sound Sword Technique was no longer in the martial world because the Yue clan that created the technique had already been destroyed for several hundred years.
If not for meeting his teacher, Zhou Yuan probably would not have known that in this world there was a sword technique called the Sound Sword Technique.
You could say at that time only Zhou Yuan's teacher knew and mastered it. Seeing the Sound Sword Technique suddenly before him with its user was a young girl, naturally made Zhou Yuan very surprised.
Even if one were to demonstrate the technique before others, they only considered it an ordinary sword technique.
Linxia wanted to say something else when Zhou Yuan learned of his clan's sword techniques, but he hurriedly shook his head, thinking the most important thing now was that he had to kill Zhou Yuan.
The girl again shortened the distance between the two, Zhou Yuan clucked in annoyance, he thought the girl would stop attacking after hearing something shocking.
"Miss, are you sure you want to kill me?" Zhou Yuan was still trying not to bring this any further.
Linxia squinted. "What makes you think I'm gonna let you live..."
Zhou Yuan cursed, subconsciously unable to get out of this situation.
Although their two swords clashed and clashed against each other, there was almost no sound coming out from the fight of the two. You could say they fought over silence.
As the name suggests, the Sound Sword Technique has a thick bond with a sound. This sword technique allows the user to manipulate sound.
Unlike the Water Sword Technique which focused on the flexibility of the body, the Sound Sword Technique focused on the softness of his movement swings.
For example Linxia, the girl could use the Sound Sword Technique well making every swing of her sword almost soundless.
It was as if the girl's body and sword did not come into contact with the air around her, even when the two swords clashed, no sound had arisen.
This greatly disturbs the concentration of people who are challenged because of the silence that feels strange, even though the sense of hearing is a sense that is often used second after sight.
After giving a series of attacks, the girl frowned as Zhou Yuan seemed unaffected by the silence around her.
The girl drained a deep force on her sword and then swung it hard at Zhou Yuan.
A buzzing sound rang out as Zhou Yuan's sword restrained the swing of the sword, the other side of his gaze becoming blurry for a few seconds.
When Zhou Yuan's gaze returned to normal, he found Linxia's body already being two reflections.
The two bodies of the girl immediately attacked Zhou Yuan from his left and right, Zhou Yuan resisted the attack of one of them.
"You can figure it out?!" Linxia's eyes widened when Zhou Yuan managed to guess the illusory stance of the Sound Sword Technique.
"Using the voice medium to create illusions, it's not something new in the martial world."
Zhou Yuan attacked back when the girl was still shocked and confused, with her nimble swordplay the girl had no choice but to defend.
For the umpteenth time the girl was surprised by Zhou Yuan's swordplay which she thought was very expert, in just a few exchanges Linxia was already overwhelmed.
Zhou Yuan continued to corner the girl before flowing a deep force on his sword, the next swing of Zhou Yuan's sword unleashed a wave of sword intent.
"I'm sorry Miss, I had to..."
Yue Linxia held back the wave of sword hurriedly but it made his body push a few meters even almost lose balance.
Linxia felt a hefty pain in his hand as he held back the wave of the sword, the sword he was holding trembled even nearly to disengage.
As Linxia looked ahead, Zhou Yuan was already no longer in his sight. The girl felt annoyed but did nothing, despite being able to chase after him, she was unsure of being able to defeat Zhou Yuan.
"Who exactly is that man, how is his sword ability so extremely high?"
As Linxia remembered, he had seen the ability of his father and grandfather when using swords but compared to the previous man, Linxia felt that the man's sword ability was even more expert than his father and grandfather.
Of course the most surprising thing was that the man could recognize his sword technique, whereas the sound sword technique should already be unknown to anyone in this era.
Linxia then recalled in the clothes the man had worn with silver plates indicating that he was one of the competition participants.
"It should be that he'll show up at the competition later, I have to find that guy..." Linxia sighed, feeling unable to do anything after the big thing happened to him.
