The Flute Groaning From Mount Han.
Chapter 8.
Without further ado Yu XianEr pulled out his sword from the white sheath and lowered his cultivation at the peak realm of qi development.
And when Zhaolong heard the swipes of the sword coming out of the sheath, Zhaolong opened his eyelids in error.
Yu XianEr shot towards Zhaolong with a drawn sword.
Zhaolong who had entered the basic respiratory condition of the water branch immediately thought of some way to dodge and plan a counterattack.
With pure qi covering his arms and the soles of his feet, Zhaolong shook his right hand and leaped high until his feet stuck to the sky of the villa sky made of wood.
With a foot that had found its footing, Zhaolong jumped up and slashed towards the girl who attacked him.
But Xu Yian Er was able to dodge Zhaolong's slash.
Zhaolong, who knew that his attack had been successfully evaded by Yu XianEr, immediately ran towards the exit.
Zhaolong chose a place to fight outdoors because he did not want his residence to fall apart after being tidied up.
Without delaying time, Yu XianEr immediately chased after Zhaolong and slashed through the air several times which resulted in a black pure qi slash floating towards Zhaolong's back.
Sensing the aura of sword qi eyeing him from behind, Zhaolong immediately thrust his sword into the ground as a foothold to leap into the air to avoid the slash of sword qi.
After his foot hit the ground, Zhaolong immediately pulled his sword out and zigzagged towards Yu XianEr.
The two met face to face and attacked each other and repelled using a sword.
Yu XianEr could finally see the face of her new disciple up close, Zhaolong's face had a calm expression.
His breathing is as regular as water, this shows Zhaolong does not panic at all despite being attacked suddenly.
What made Yu XianEr angry was that Zhaolong's eyes looked empty like puppets.
Although she was now almost 40 years old, Yu XianEr's appearance still maintained the appearance of a young girl in her 25s.
Not to mention that the little heart of Yu XianEr was the heart of an innocent girl who was still pure without ever feeling what love was.
Seeing Zhaolong have a look that ignored him even after opening his eyes, Yu XianEr grew even more furious.
Yu XianEr immediately kicked Zhaolong in the abdomen and it turned out that the trick worked.
Zhaolong was seen failing to block Yu XianEr's kick with his elbow until it was thrown a few meters back.
A disdainful smile appeared on Yu XianEr's face that was as smooth as jade.
Unfortunately before Yu XianEr was complacent, Yu XianEr's face froze as she felt a burning sensation from her calf.
Yu XianEr lowered her head and saw that her snow-white calf had 3 small needles stuck in it.
It was a needle filled with many poisons some insects in the lightless forest that Zhaolong made when leisurely.
"Damn the rude boy, how dare you!.".
As Yu XianEr prepared to go back to attack Zhaolong, Yu XianEr saw Zhaolong running and was already in front of him swinging a sword towards his neck.
Yu XianEr who felt the breath of death reflexively lowered her head to avoid the slash, but what Yu XianEr came across was Zhaolong's knee just as long as it hit her face.
With Yu XianEr's left hand against Zhaolong's left knee, his right hand slashed towards Zhaolong's right foot with a sword.
Immediately Zhaolong struck his foot and retreated as fast as a bullet.
Before stabilizing his breath and body, Yu XianEr felt a crisis from his back.
Yu XianEr turned around and saw another Zhaolong was about to slash his body, Yu XianEr immediately dodged to the side with such a thin slash distance.
When several strands of Yu XianEr's hair were cut off, Yu XianEr saw Zhaolong's face which had a calm expression with a blank look.
Yu XianEr was sure that if she did not dodge at the last moment then Zhaolong would kill her without changing this overly calm facial expression.
Zhaolong from the other side came back to Yu XianEr and slashed at Yu XianEr's foot assembly.
Zhaolong actually developed a new technique that he named 'the water mirror.' This technique is a technique that relies on water to refract and bend light so that Zhaolong can manipulate the enemy's vision through the pure water qi that exits his body.
Yu XianEr managed to dodge by jumping into the air, when Yu XianEr was in the air there were many golden-black pure qi surrounding her body.
"Flow down thousands of sword shadows!.".
The pure qi energy that resembled a black sword struck Zhaolong one by one leaving a trail of several meters on the ground each time the slash fell.
Not stopping there, Yu XianEr again condensed the qi energy in his sword body and slashed towards Zhaolong.
The dark black-colored sword qi energy struck the ground and produced a trench hundreds of meters long.
After dodging the sword qi attack, Zhaolong stood still and stared at the trench produced by Yu XianEr's attack.
From the pure qi that Yu XianEr used in the battle, Zhaolong was sure his enemy had a dark attribute heavy qi.
Fortunately this was daytime, if it was night time then according to Zhaolong's calculations his victory was no more than 20% because the owner of the dark-ribute meridian vein would double their ability at night.
The two of them looked at each other from a distance, Yu XianEr felt like she would lose if she continued to continue the fight with her cultivation that she had deliberately suppressed at the realm of qi development.
Zhaolong thrust his sword into the ground with both hands, his silenced lips slowly opening.
"My sword is justice, to judge without feeling.
Domain thousands of swords, open.".
The originally bright blue sky began to be replaced by a silvery white color, one by one the swords came out from the ground with sword eyes facing the sky.
Around Zhaolong and Yu XianEr, thousands of swords growing from the ground that was originally brown were now silvery-white.
When Yu XianEr raised her head and looked towards the sky, she saw thousands of swords hanging in the air with sword eyes pointing downwards.
"daaaaang.".
The world that originally contained thousands of swords became normal again.
Yu XianEr felt a sword piercing her heart from the direction of her back, unfortunately Yu XianEr was wearing a shirt that had runes and special materials.
'Illusions??? This damn kid almost shocked me to death.
To think of creating a domain in the realm of qi development.'.
A normal slash without an enormous qi energy would not be able to injure Yu XianEr's body.
Upon seeing his slash fail, Zhaolong immediately jumped back a few meters.
Yu XianEr lowered her head with a blank expression as if she would be in disbelief.
If their cultivation was the same and Yu XianEr did not wear a secret treasure-type gown then she would die once!.
Yu XianEr's heart as a genius started to waver, she even started to doubt herself and took the title of genius as a joke.
Yu XianEr's cultivation that was previously suppressed at the qi development stage began to rise to the soul purification stage and continued to rise until reaching the dao condensing realm.
Before stabilizing his body, Zhaolong saw shadows flashed rapidly and slash-by-slash wounds began to appear all over his body.
Zhaolong could only passively fend off the incoming attacks and try to drop the counterattack.
Yu XianEr who realized he was bullying Zhaolong with a cultivation level began to stop his attacks on Zhaolong.
And Yu XianEr saw the face of Zhaolong's expression of anger mixed with sadness.
"I am not afraid of death, my heart has died with him. But now is not the time for me to die! How could I die before fulfilling my promise to Mitha!?.".
Seeing Zhaolong's expression that had regained its calm as before, Yu XianEr immediately jumped back and stopped her attack.
Among the sect disciples that Yu XianEr had met, Zhaolong was the most abnormal.
Zhaolong was like a puppet that did not feel any pain, not caring about the condition of his body with a calm expression along with a blank look.
Although Zhaolong's body was covered with hundreds of wounds from the slash of the sword and red blood adorned every corner of his clothes.
"This pain compared to the pain in my heart is nothing.".
The words that came out of Zhaolong's mouth made Yu XianEr not know what to say.
Zhaolong had surprised him so many times that it made Yu XianEr refresh her gaze towards a man.
Yu XianEr also heard the life story of Zhaolong, initially Yu XianEr thought Zhaolong was just playing a drama.
Seeing the hundreds of wounds filling Zhaolong's body yet not being able to change Zhaolong's calm expression made Yu XianEr ask a question.
'What kind of pain did this child feel in his heart?
What does it feel like to have pain that is able to mask the pain of such a wound.'.
Yu XianEr who had never felt the loss of someone important to her could not understand what Zhaolong was feeling.
Like a parrot that can imitate human speech without understanding the meaning of the sentence he said.
Zhaolong whose body was covered in wounds began to close his eyelids and take a deep breath.
"Water branch breathing technique, second form open.".
Followed by Zhaolong's words, the aura of pure qi in his body began to increase.
Even the rhythm of the Zhaolong breath is different from before, if before the Zhaolong breath was the calmness of the river water then the Zhaolong breath is now like sea water with fierce waves.
Not only was his breath and qi pure, even Zhaolong's appearance began to change.
The hair and eyebrows that were previously jet black now turned a faint blue like sea water.
Of course Zhaolong's change made Yu XianEr surprised! Zhaolong's fighting prowess when viewed from the pure qi that Zhaolong produced already exceeded that of a qi realm development cultivator.
'I-this, this how is this possible!?.'.
Yu XianEr, who had regained her senses after a moment of daze, saw that Zhaolong had flown towards her quickly.
Zhaolong swung his sword and slashed right at Yu XianEr's neck.
"Don't joke!!!.".
Yu XianEr roared furiously and fended off Zhaolong's slash with her sword.
The collision of the two black and white colored energies caused the surrounding trees to be uprooted from the ground and flew in all directions.
Then Yu XianEr saw Zhaolong's left hand condensing pure water qi into a spear and piercing towards his stomach.
"You are a swordsman! Why are you using a spear!?.".
Facing Yu XianEr's question, Zhaolong with blue eyes had a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Who told you that swordsmen should only wear swords?.".
Yu XianEr's brows furrowed, all this time Yu XianEr saw the swordsman only playing the sword.
Spear fighters, spearmen and archers wear arrows and they are proud of their weapons.
But the little boy in front of her gave her a new experience.
Indeed on the battlefield, there is no word of cunning when it comes to life.
The victor receives the title and honor, the loser becomes the corpse it is the law on the battlefield.
There is no cunning word as long as you can live and kill your enemies!.
Yu XianEr smiled and looked at Zhaolong's blue eyes calmly.
"I think I'm too naive.".
After that Zhaolong was thrown back a few meters due to the pure qi that Yu XianEr released.
"There's no cunning word as long as you can win a battle, right? Then let me show you what true cunning is.".
Yu XianEr put the sword into the sheath hanging on her waist and began to fuse her palms together.
"Shadow-flow technique, soul warriors without light.".
The dark black pure Qi condensed from Yu XianEr's palm, starting to enlarge and attack towards Zhaolong.
Zhaolong who saw the dark black pure qi started running with a body full of wounds.
Although Zhaolong's movements were slow and painstakingly moving, Zhaolong did not stop dodging as it was impossible for him to just stand still waiting for death.
Zhaolong only knew that he did not recognize the woman in front of him and felt that he had never offended anyone.
'Is it because of my talent in creating techniques? Or is the speed of my cultivation making some parties jealous and intent on killing me? Shit man!!! This world does not need to exist from the beginning, what is the point of giving hope if the end result is disappointment?.'.
Zhaolong's gaze began to darken after the dark pure qi touched his body, the aura of pure qi as well as Zhaolong's hair returned to normal.
Zhaolong only saw endless darkness within his consciousness, not even Zhaolong could see his own hands.
'Did I die again?.'.
That was the sentence Zhaolong thought.
While Zhaolong was trapped, Yu XianEr smiled looking at Zhaolong who was standing silently staring.
The technique that Yu XianEr used was a soul attack technique, it did not affect the body but rather the consciousness called the soul.
And techniques based on attacking the spiritual or soul consciousness can only be learned or created by cultivators who reach the realm of soul purification.
Yu XianEr immediately summoned some inner sect disciples to take care of Zhaolong's wounds and gave a message for Zhaolong to meet him after recovering from his wounds.
