Chapter 749 Unsheathe the Sword for My Lord (Part 2) (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader [dsp学不会了]!)
"I think Xiaoyunshan's two sword techniques are very beautiful, as if they floated by."

"That true disciple was defeated by True Disciple Ning in just six moves."

“I know, I mean it looks really good… President Li, what kind of person do you think could beat this sword challenge?” The speaker tilted his head.

Everyone was curious and admiring of this young girl who was also leaning on the railing. She wrote about ten invitations and brought them here. President Cui said that she was actually the head of a sword sect.

Li Piaoqing thought for a moment and said, "I think Master Mingjian will definitely succeed."

"...My God, is there no one else besides Master Ming?" The person who asked the question stared wide-eyed.

"I really want to see Master Mingjian." Some people have a strong ability to make connections and immediately change their minds.

“Hmm…” Li Piaoqing smiled and pondered. Her eyes were fixed on a certain place, as if she was waiting for a name, but she didn’t say it. She only said, “I don’t know either, but I think it’s very difficult.”

The girl wasn't talking nonsense; she could sense this Heart Sword technique and its reflection on her heart. After witnessing Deer Tail's attempt, she understood even more clearly what it represented.

“President Li is right, this sword puzzle is very difficult to solve,” Cui Zhaoye said. Whether in swordsmanship or in the art of Peiye, she was an unshakeable authority. When she spoke, the entire terrace fell silent.

“If Luwei can’t do it, then Qunfei and Qiusi can’t either, because they are all swordsmen of the same kind in the face of this Heart Sword. But Luwei is a cut above the other two,” Cui Zhaoye said. “Shang Yunning might have a chance, because he is most obsessed with his own breakthrough. I heard that he has practiced the Five Peaks Sword for more than ten years, and even the Ming Sword Master Tianshan Wenjian played against him with this sword technique. But I think the chances are not great. In short, we have to try to know.”

"Chen Quan, however, could not answer this sword question, because the disciples of Youdu did not cultivate the complete 'self'."

President Cui's prestige was once again established, because as soon as she finished speaking, the group of people from the Sixth Seat turned around and said, "Junior Brother Shang, why don't you give it a try?"

Shang Yun Ning stood up with her sword drawn and walked to the edge of the pool under everyone's gaze. Lu Wei laughed beside her, "I tried to fight it with my sword, pursuing a higher level of self; I also tried to play chess with it, relying on my brain to win, but neither of them worked. Master Ning, I'm sorry, the so-called 'willing to die for it' is not as easy to do as it sounds, and it may not be the right path."

Ning Shuhong clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Lu Zhenchuan, your willingness to go to such lengths is already a chivalrous act, and I am deeply grateful."

“Thirty-three swordsmen, of the same spirit and branch, are too kind,” said Luwei. “At the sword banquet, we will naturally discuss swordsmanship. We also need Xie Ning’s true teachings to frankly present them, so that we can have this topic.”

Shang Yun Ning drew her sword, pondered for a moment, and then entered the pool without saying a word.

Thus, all the visitors in the garden were able to see the real Tianshan Sword.

When the swordsmen from various sects sought advice from the six central seats, eight out of ten of them were from the two "Eight Steeds" and "Seven Jades" of Chaotian Mountain. This was because it was a sword banquet of Tianshan, and the two of them would answer any questions they had.

Shang Yun Ning was quite serious, and sometimes even went down to the arena to give close pointers on a couple of moves. Her swordsmanship was extremely solid, but it appeared very plain, so it did not leave as much of an impression as the others.

But now, facing his own all-out effort, the Tianshan sword, with its "high winds falling from the sky, cold snow forming jade," was unleashed in full force, and the entire pool seemed to be instantly dyed icy white.

The Tianshan Sword, which seeks antiquity and is full of meaning, is completely different from the Mountain Ghost Sword. It is elegant, beautiful, aloof, and desolate. It is more captivating than the Mountain Ghost Sword. Just now, people were constantly praising the wonderful battle between the swordsmen of Chishang. Now they have forgotten it all.

Lu Wei's sword strike seemed to sweep away everything that had happened before, while Shang Yun Ning's sword strike was like painting it with new colors.

At that moment, the only thing on the minds of countless onlookers was the swords of these two people.

But Shang Yunning also failed.

He didn't return empty-handed like Luwei; he was defeated by one move. This was because Shang Yun Ning was indeed more eager for victory than Luwei, and the Tianshan Sword was indeed more fragile than the Mountain Ghost Sword.

This Tianshan [Baiyi] was also pierced through the throat by a sword. The gray shadow dissipated, he sheathed his sword, and went ashore.

Luwei clicked his tongue, and Qunfei tapped the table in deep thought.

"As expected, even Young Master Shang Yun Ning couldn't win." Kong Lan Ting craned his neck to look, then withdrew his head in disappointment. Guan Qian Yan, who was next to him, patted his head.

As Ji Zhuowu said, Shikao knew the difficulty of this sword challenge when he proposed it, and the current situation was actually within expectations.

Guan Qianyan withdrew her gaze from the equally disappointed discussions at the Da Yun Shan banquet opposite her, and tilted her head with a strange hope, asking, "Senior Brother Ji, does that mean no one can solve this sword puzzle today?"

Ji Zhuowu did not turn around, and after a while said, "That depends on Lord Huang Yunxian."

"So it seems this sword puzzle is unsolvable." The girls on the terrace were equally dejected, leaning on the railing and looking at Chairman Cui. Suddenly, someone pointed and asked, "Chairman Cui, where's that He Zhennu? Isn't she very powerful? Why hasn't she said a word?"

Everyone followed their gaze and looked at the frail woman in a skirt, carrying a sword. She kept her head down the whole time, like a small yellow flower in spring.

But she was indeed seated in one of the six seats, and very centrally, just to the side of the deer tail.

Shang Yun Ning suffered another defeat, and the garden erupted in even more discussion. Then, a strange silence fell as many eyes turned to the woman at the table.

Because everyone realized that her presence seemed rather weak.

Not only did she not participate in the discussion about "I am hard to beat myself", but when people were playing swordsmanship on the pond, no one asked her any questions or advice. It is unknown whether this was because she kept her head down or because she was hiding behind the broad back of the deer tail.

But since the deer tail had left at that moment, the long, yellow flower-like dress was inevitably revealed.

Continuing from Daoshan, Huang Yunxian ranked third on the list.

More and more people are turning their attention to this admirable and awe-inspiring name.

Huang Yunxian was staring in one direction and making faces.

It started just now, about fifteen minutes ago.

While the six central seats have always been the pinnacle of this sword banquet, and the few names on the list have always shone brightly, it was indeed the sword light that drew people's attention when the swords were being clashed on the pond.

Only now, after the sword competition has reached such a daunting level and after Luwei has demonstrated his sword skills, has everyone's attention suddenly focused on these six seats.

No one could help but be amazed by such a sword challenge, and no one could help but admire such swordsmanship. The garden was abuzz with discussion, and all eyes were on the six people in the room, who were talking back and forth.

Pei Ye was no exception.

He thought to himself that these people were really amazing, and the design of their Heart Sword was quite remarkable. So when he looked at them, he met He Yaoyao's eyes, which she had just casually raised.

Pei Ye didn't know how she managed to spot him so accurately amidst the many gazes directed at her, but her eyes focused and then fixed on him, before she looked at him with a look of surprise and delight.

Pei Ye smiled politely at her and nodded back. Actually, he was somewhat unfamiliar with this face and hadn't fully connected it with the man in the black cloak yet, but since he knew this was the friend he had met that day, he waved again in acknowledgment.

Then he saw the woman stare at him with a bright look in her eyes, as if she had found a savior. She raised her hand from her knee slightly as if she were a thief and beckoned to him, indicating the spot next to her.

Pei Ye paused for a moment, then shook his head.

The woman paused, then looked at him pleadingly and beckoned to him again, saying silently, "I don't know anyone here. Please come over."

Pei Ye didn't know why she was lip-syncing instead of speaking, so he paused for a moment and then opened his mouth silently as well: "I'm here to keep my friend company."

"I'm your friend too."

"...Isn't it good for you to be there by yourself?"

I want someone to stand in front of me.

"..."

The two of them were lip-syncing back and forth, unaware that Sonoko had become somewhat quiet.

At this moment, Shikao seemed to finally realize what was happening. He clapped his hands, turned around, and laughed, "That's right! Master Tsuru, I've long heard of the so-called 'Sword of Escape' from Xudao Mountain. Do you have any advice for me today?"

He Yaoyao's mouth was halfway open when she looked up blankly and asked, "Huh?"
