Chapter 8: Facing the Black Blade II

“You do have the ability,” praise Feng ShuiYue. At least half an hour they had exchanged movements. The arena around them was no longer visible.

White String stroked his cheek, there was a thin scratch there. Other than that scratch, he was not injured at all. Even his breathing was still regular.

Compared to the reverse with Feng ShuiYue who was already panting. His Phoenix mask had drifted out of nowhere. Several wounds were visible on several sides of his body. Obviously, he was in an unfavorable position.

“Do not be arrogant, let me show you my true strength!” Feng ShuiYue exclaimed as he advanced attacking the White String. His opponent still did not move, or at least he did not shift in the slightest from the start.

White String's eyes narrowed, he could see that Feng ShuiYue's aura was starting to surge. His sword was also shrouded in black fog.

“Dad, he intends to kill White String. Quickly stop him!” Ji Lingling shook Ji Changkong's arm while pointing at the arena in panic.

“Yeah! Is that Killer Move of the Black Blade, Universe-Destroying Black Sword?” comments from one of the spectators. The Universe-Destroying Style of the Black Sword Universe was also one of the reasons Feng ShuiYue was called the Black Blade.

Ji Changkong was also very surprised. Even when dueling with him, Feng ShuiYue very rarely used this move. “Supposed he knew the limit,” muttered Ji Changkong.

A Skill, or Warrior Skill, is a technique used to defend oneself, attack, or defend. Although it can be used to kill, its scope is wider. While Killer Move (killer movement), is a style or a combination of moves that only aims to kill. Usually Killer Move can not be disturbed in the middle of the road or the user will suffer a backlash.

White String simply pointed his sword towards the coming Feng ShuiYue. Then he whispered, “First : Decimating Earth.”

For an instant, a dazzling light blocked the sight of the eyes. Only people with Spiritual Perception could clearly see the state in the arena.

Feng ShuiYue was sent flying. The ground in front of him was destroyed. With a hold on his sword, he tried to get up.

“Very good. But a skill as great as before should have a price to pay, ‘kan?” feng ShuiYue asked while removing the trace of redness at the corner of her lips.

“Yes, that one of my beloved swords,” then White String continued in his heart, ‘when it was not 1/1000th of his original strength!’

“...I didn't know his sword could be repaired or not.” White String stroked the sword eyes that were now decorated with several cracks as smooth as hair.

“If that's all, it's still a long way to make me admit defeat!” Feng ShuiYue prepared to attack again. This time, he really did not want to open a gap for the White String. His opponent did not budge in the slightest other than sighing.

“Second : Destroying Sky.”

A sword light shot straight towards Feng ShuiYue. Using all his strength, he was only able to fend off the sword light.

The sudden attack was enough to shock the spectators, but what Feng ShuiYue did was even more shocking. He reversed the direction of the attack back to the White String. The few Thousand Swords Mountain Sect disciples watching opened their mouths wide in shock.

The attack did not only lead to the White String, but right into his face. In a fair fight it is impossible to defeat him, unfortunately the rule of the match is to remove the White String mask. So Feng ShuiYue did everything possible to destroy his mask if he could not take it off.

Feng LengYue who was following Feng ShuiYue frowned. As a person who knew the Black Blade well, he felt that this was already overkill. Contending yes already, there is no need to use killer movements. Why does he want to win so much? That was what Feng LengYue could not understand.

Finally the White String moved from its place. He directly advanced forward regardless of the sword light grazing his left arm. In the blink of an eye, he had already placed his sword eye on Feng ShuiYue's neck.

“You win..”.

Those were the last words of Feng ShuiYue before he fell unconscious from exhaustion. Constantly using large amounts of Qi at such a short time was quite a burden on his body. Before he actually fell, Feng LengYue had already caught him.

“I'm sorry to represent him. And also we will indemnify for the damage caused this time,” Feng LengYue said before he left carrying Feng ShuiYue.

“Eh? This must be a dream. He really won?” chirps a student. The other disciple immediately pinched the person's cheek to help him ascertain whether this was a dream or not. “Ah! Pain!”

“In outstanding. At least he's as strong as Patriarch.”

“Heaven Emperor bless our sect! He must be the one who was destined Sky Emperor.”

“What anyone remembers his name..”

“...”

Within a day the news spread throughout the entire sect. There was even touting it outside the area.

“You intentionally, ‘kan?” White String stared intently at the person he blamed for the incident. Ji Changkong pretends not to know, “What intentional? I just finished the documents from the new students. Was there an interesting incident yesterday?”

White String took a breath. He held himself back from sending a fist to make Ji Changkong fly for 1000 kilometers. (Aru:I thought this dialogue was just for joking. Don't take it seriously.)

“Is your arm okay? I saw you get hurt yesterday.” Rather than Ji Changkong, Ji Lingling was more worried about the state of the White String.

“It's just a small wound kok.”

“I..”

✾✾✾

“Eh? She will be our teacher?!”

Twelve people including Ji Lingling exclaimed in shock. They stared back and forth between Ji Changkong and White String to make sure they were lying.

“Don't ask me. I was also just told today,” White String said as she folded her arms. If it were not yesterday's event, the introductions of teachers and students would not have been postponed to this day.

“If you don't want to, I can move you under the guidance of another Elder.” Ji Changkong gave them a choice.

“I totally agree!” Ji Lingling was the first to express her agreement. He immediately hugged White String's arm happily.

Lu Xiaoyi who saw for herself how White String strength also said in agreement. Yun Yuanling who had once looked for trouble with him at the auction house was silently sculpting. This sudden event made his brain work harder than usual.

Then the twins Xiao XiXuan and Xiao XiQian did not protest either. Although they were a little hesitant because White String did not look older than them. Normally, even thousands of years old Divine Qi Realm people would have white hair and a few wrinkles that could not be hidden.

The other seven people were Liu Xinxian and Liu Gu of the Celestial Martial Family, Chu Lian and Chu Xiyu of the Phoenix Martial Family, as well as the Three Sword Eyes namely Feng LiYing, Shen XiaoJie, and others, and Sheng JiangLao.

“Patriak, I have one request. Let me hit you once.”

“Ya-..”

“I assume it agrees.”

That very day, people could see a curved line of light flying out from the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect. Most importantly, the news was justified under the pretext of Ji Changkong checking something extremely secretive.

Shortly after he was hit for 1000 kilometers, Ji Changkong returned to the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect with a side of a swollen cheek. (Aru: Hin right² wrote it!)

Finally, White String was able to release the anger he had been suppressing. No. gabe. Maybe he hit too hard.

“Lingling, their relationship got that far?” xiao XiQian whispered to Ji Lingling. Ji Lingling was actually also confused as to how her father could get to know a White String-class monster. So he replied with origin, “Not possible. Father was the strongest person in the sect. It was likely that White String was stronger than him, so father did not dare to say anything.”

“What are you talking about?” White String suddenly appeared behind them. Not only the two of them, even the others also screamed in shock.

“B-not a-pa-what. We were just discussing about the sword style you used yesterday.” Ji Lingling hurriedly made an excuse. ‘Jeez, what am I talking about, anyway?’ ji Lingling cried inwardly.

“Oh, you mean Nine Scrolls of Night Sword?”

“Amazing name. But I've never heard of it. That great style should be famous, right?” Xiao XiQian was confused.

“It's natural if you guys are strangers to this name. But if you ask your father, they will definitely be shocked to death,” explained Ji Changkong.

“Is it that great?” Finally they forgot a Patriarch of a sect who had just been beaten by a junior for being too engrossed in discussion.

Plok!

White String clapped his hands to gather the attention of the twelve of them. “You may agree to be my student, but I have not agreed to be your teacher. So anyone who really wants to be my disciple, please come to the edge of the lake tomorrow. Ji Lingling, Xiao XiQian, Xiao XiXuan, you guys don't mind being a road guide, ‘kan?”

Feeling the center of attention, Xiao XiXuan gave an explanation, “The three of us once came to his place. In order not to get lost while going there we better just follow the plan.”

“Alright, you can get ready soon. See you tomorrow.”

After disappearing from their vision, White String removed his mask and smiled mysteriously towards the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect.

“Maybe, things will become even more interesting.”

✾✾✾

“Huuh!”

When he got home, the first thing he did was lie in bed. Some of the events in the past few years have worn him out quite a bit.

“Miao, miao!”

Suddenly a furry white ball jumped into his stomach. It's not really a hairy ball, but a kitten rolling up its body. The white cat was the Frost Tiger baby that the White String had obtained somehow.

“Xiao Zhan, why do you look restless?” White String was aware of the unusual behavior of his pet. Normally, that cat named Xiao Zhan would jump onto his shoulders after he saw the White String instead of rolling his body like he was frightened.

“Miao miao!” Xiao Zhan swung his claws as if he was talking like a human. Fortunately, White String understood what he wanted to say.

While stroking Xiao Zhan's snow feathers to calm him down, White String whispered, “Take it easy, no one can make trouble as long as I'm here.”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest.

Under the soft moonlight, heavy rain flushed the earth. The groove soaks the lush foliage all over the forest. But the leaves here are not only moistened with rainwater, but also with blood.

A young child is seen trying to escape from some of the adults behind him. His clothes were in tatters and his entire body was covered in wounds whether large or small.

Due to his short footsteps plus the muddy ground due to the rain, he quickly caught up.

“Wuu, why are you chasing me? Wuu, mother where?” Not knowing anything, she could only cry. While behind him, there were some adult men with evil expressions.

“Good boy, come with us. You will see your mother soon,” their chief said with a loud laugh. The other members also laughed imitating the chairman.

The little girl stumbled and fell. It seemed like his legs were sprained, so he could not stand up. “Wuu, mom... There are bad guys here. Mother, wuu..”.

As the chairman stretched out his hand, he only hardened his cries while closing his eyes. He hoped someone would help him. Even if it's like an empty hope.

In the middle of a forest like this, other than magical beasts that roamed there were almost no humans. Especially this is night. Most people will spend their time under their warm blankets.

That was the little girl's mind. But before he knew it, the hand of the wicked who would touch him soon did not come. Instead, he felt a soft pat on his head.

He looked up, and at once his crying stopped. “Whose sister?” tanyakanya.

In front of him, there was a person in white robes wearing a red sun-patterned umbrella. Because of the umbrella, he could not see his face clearly. But there was a kitten on his shoulder.

The cat jumped at him. With his claws, the cat made exactly the same stroking motion that the person had just done. “Miao!”

“He said, don't cry. Now it's okay,” obviously. The girl glanced around, as if looking for something. Indeed, those people who had been chasing him were already invisible.

“N-name Hua Mei. Did you see my mom? He said he would help me soon after those bad guys left.” Hua Mei explained with a stammer.

“Your mother is around here. He will be here any minute.”

Despite being obstructed by the umbrella, Hua Mei could feel her smiling gently towards him. A smile that could dispel all his worries.

“Mei’er! You where?! It's mom!”

Shortly after, a middle-aged woman came. After seeing Hua Mei, she immediately hugged her while crying out for forgiveness.

✾✾✾

The location of Hua Mei and her mother was on the other side of the Green Forest. So it was quite far away from the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect.

Hua Mei and her mother were from the Golden Pottery Valley, which was one of the closest sects to the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect.

Right now, White String and his kitten were hovering above the remaining debris from the Golden Pottery Valley. When the White String arrived, there were already no living people left.

Who could destroy an intermediate sect without leaving the opportunity to ask another sect for help, such a power must be a great and mysterious power. After the destruction of the Golden Pottery Valley, the white and neutral flow alliance was definitely in an uproar.

“As per my guess, everything.. has become more interesting.”.
