Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 387 Cicadas Don’t Know Snow
On the snowy plain, two figures were entangled in a fight, the sword light and the snow light reflected each other, creating a thrilling picture.

The young man in white has a graceful figure, like a piece of snow in winter, light and elusive.

You Su thought to himself that his guess was right. This person's strength should not be underestimated. This person is very agile. Even in the wind and snow, he is not affected at all. Instead, he is like a fish in water. Looking at his movements, every rise and fall is like soaring. It is obvious that he must be a great cultivator in the Feather Transformation Realm. But he looks so young, and his talent is the highest that You Su has ever seen. He is probably only second to his own senior sister, Fairy Wangshu.

You Su could even feel that he didn't seem to want to end the battle quickly and get rid of him swiftly, but was holding back in his strength, like a hunter playing with his prey.

You Su originally wanted to use the other party's contempt to make him pay the price, but then he discovered the terrifying side of this young man. He seemed to know all of You Su's actions, and even if he accidentally gave You Su a chance to take advantage of, he would cut off that chance before You Su could.

This proves that he has full confidence in all his recklessness, and it is his absolute control over the battlefield that allows him to toy with his opponents so casually.

You Su was secretly frightened, but when he hesitated, the young man in white knocked You Su back more than ten meters with just one palm. You Su's legs drew two straight grooves in the snow, and he finally stabilised his body by digging his palms into the ground.

Bai Ze could no longer maintain that cute and small appearance. With a roar that shook the world, its body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a half-deer, half-tiger mythical beast, emitting auspicious light, majestic and mysterious.

After following You Su for so many days, it had long since recovered its spirit. At this moment, it roared at the young man in white who was walking slowly towards it, but unfortunately, its threat did not stop the young man at all.

"White Pond?!"

The young man in white's expression changed and he looked surprised.

He looked at the divine beast in front of him in disbelief, and that surprise was quickly replaced by an unconcealable passion.

“No wonder you were able to break the illusion of the Black Sea Moon… Turns out it was because you had Bai Ze by your side to help you!”

He still didn't believe that this frog from the well in the countryside in front of him could be the one to exorcise the Black Sea Moon.

"It is said that Bai Ze can understand human language, the feelings of all things, and the affairs of ghosts and gods. It is a true auspicious beast! It will only appear when a saint descends to the world! It's a pity that this thing only exists in legends, but I never thought that it actually exists!"

The young man in white became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had taken this greedy beast as his prey.

"If you know, don't move! Be careful or I'll be rude to you!"

Bai Ze used the most childish voice to pretend to be the most ferocious, but unfortunately everyone could hear that he didn't have much confidence.

"No... How can it be so weak? Can't feel any Xuan Qi at all?"

The young man in white had a look of astonishment on his face and kept talking to himself, as if he didn't take the man and the beast in front of him seriously at all.

Bai Ze was furious when he heard that, and showed his sharp fangs, as if to say that he could still bite him to death even without Xuan Qi.

"I was wondering, why else would Bai Ze stay with someone like you? Turns out you took advantage of him."

The young man in white suddenly stopped and shook his head lightly.

"But it's good, it saves the effort of catching it. I really want to thank you, it really gave me a huge apology. It seems that the heaven also favors you, and specially sent down blessings to prove his way. If I offer Bai Ze to you, he will definitely feel gratified."

As the young man in white spoke hopefully, the mysterious Qi condensed all over his body became more and more powerful, like materialized clouds, enveloping him entirely, making him appear mysterious and unpredictable.

Bai Ze couldn't help but panic. What he was most confident of was that no one dared to kill him as a beast of good fortune, because it would bring backlash from the law of heaven. The premise of threatening his life was that the other party had a reason to go over his body. At this time, the target of this terrible enemy had changed from You Su behind him to himself.

He didn't even need to kill it, he just needed to capture it.

But even so, it didn't think of moving away from You Su.

The young man in white launched an attack instantly, and his body moved at such a fast speed that gusts of biting cold wind were brought up. His figure disappeared like a ghost, leaving only the wind and snow on the spot, which were stirred up into whirlpools by his astonishing speed.

Even though Bai Ze was aware of the danger, his feet felt as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't keep up with the thought of dodging.

But in the next moment, a long sword was inserted into the snow in front of it at a faster speed, the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, and the remaining power was lingering.

The young man in white was forced to stop and looked at the sword that was emitting a chilling aura. He narrowed his eyes and said in surprise:

"A sword cultivator?"

You Su ignored him and walked up from behind Bai Ze, patting Bai Ze's side and signaling it to move aside.

"When adults fight, children stay aside."

After saying that, You Su easily drew out his sword, and his momentum was completely different from before.

The young man in white became interested and looked at the sword in You Su's hand:

"Only a country bumpkin like you would treasure a sword technique that you picked up from who knows where."

He was not interested in swords, and even despised them. This was the prejudice of most people in Beiaozhou. Because swords, a slightly delicate weapon, were useless to people in Beiaozhou who needed to survive in the ice and snow.

You Su still ignored him and just half-knelt down, holding the long sword across his chest.

"You don't even want to unsheathe your sword?"

The young man in white was not afraid at all, but instead reminded You Su.

"You do not deserve."

You Su responded indifferently. The Mosong Sword was eager to fly out of the sheath in his hand, but You Su held it down firmly, suppressing the restlessness of the Mosong Sword.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, You Su would certainly not draw out the Mosong Sword easily. Even in front of Master Ao Shu, he had never shown the Mosong Sword.

It can be said that this ink-black long sword is far more recognizable than You Su himself... After all, You Su is just handsome, but there are other beautiful boys in the world, but the color of the Mosong Sword is unique among swords.

"interesting."

The young man in white snorted, and a violent stream of air gushed out from his sleeves, with a devastating force. You Su's eyes shone, and he used the strongest defensive sword move in the Yuan Sword - the Wind and Crane Cry, to counter the attack.

The cyclone was unexpectedly blocked by the scabbard of the Mosong Sword, leaving only the aftermath flowing apart like a stream of water.

When the young man in white was stunned, You Su did not stop to catch his breath. He turned nimbly, took advantage of the collision of the airflow behind him and kicked hard, rushing towards the young man in white who had not yet recovered like thunder. Facing such an enemy who is proficient in magic, close combat is the best strategy.

But who would have thought that the young man in white would suddenly curl up the corner of his lips, and after hearing a strange sound, he flew in front of You Su in an instant and punched You Su on the wrist.

Fortunately, You Su's arm strength was strong enough and his reaction was very fast. He immediately used the force of the long sword to press down and then kicked directly at his face. The young man in white was unable to avoid it for a while, and his whole body was leaking out of the mysterious energy. If the internal energy exploded, it would shock You Su back.

You Su was still terrified. He realized that the young man's dazed look was a deliberate flaw. And the punch he threw just now could have hit his body and caused serious damage, not his wrist.

There is only one explanation for why he did this - he wanted to humiliate You Su, a sword cultivator. After all, how could a sword cultivator have the face to use a sword if he had lost his sword?

You Su frowned deeply and took the initiative to speak, which was rare:

"Did you make that sound?"

"That's right." The young man in white looked contented.

The voice that You Su was talking about was exactly the voice he would hear every time he tried to approach this unarmed young man.

"Do you know what that sound is?" the young man in white asked condescendingly.

Of course You Su ignored him and just raised his sword, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

“That’s the chirping of cicadas.”

The young man in white asked and answered his own questions, and even started to brag:

"When I was very young, my teacher took me to Nanyangzhou. I like the weather there very much. In the summer, the cicadas chirp constantly, which is very interesting. People say that cicadas don't know snow, so I took a cicada with me on the road. When I was going back to Beiaozhou, I decided to take it to see the snow. Under my care, it successfully crossed the sea that other cicadas could never cross. After seeing the snow, it made a mournful cicada cry, which was melodious, sad and moving. It was the first cicada to see the snow, and also the first cicada to be seen by the snow. It should be qualified to be buried in the snow, so I buried it here. After that, I created this snow cicada skill in front of its grave. Of course, my teacher also gave me some pointers a few times."

The young man in white never missed any opportunity to show off in front of You Su, a commoner. He shook his head and sighed:
"How can you, a frog from an unknown tribe, recognize the sound of cicadas?"

"I just think it's a bit unpleasant." You Su said coldly.

He was thinking secretly in his heart. He finally figured out why the young man in white could always save him from danger. The reason was the faint and mournful sound of the cicada. The cicada's sound had the effect of attracting people's attention and would make people pause for a moment.

So it wasn't that the young man in white reacted incredibly fast, but that You Su paused for a moment without noticing, which allowed the young man in white to avoid the risk. And this almost infinite margin of error was the reason why the young man in white could completely ignore You Su! Anyway, he had time to react!

Thinking of this, You Su couldn't help but marvel in his heart. Regardless of the miraculous nature of this technique, the fact that this young man had mastered the Snow Cicada Technique on his own was enough to show how talented this boy was, which was unprecedented in history.

But You Su was also curious. He had no impression of such a genius and had never heard of the Snow Cicada Technique.

The young man in white was startled, and then a vein bulged on his temple, and he shouted angrily:
"It's like looking at the sky from a well! Playing the lute to a cow!"

"The cicada you brought back is the snow cicada? The one that is completely white?" You Su asked curiously.

The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised that You Su knew him.

"Yes, the people of Nanyang Island call this cicada the Snow Cicada because it is completely white, but in fact it has nothing to do with snow."

"No wonder." You Su nodded meaningfully.

"No wonder?" the young man in white asked in a bad tone.

"You thought its mournful cicada chirping was expressing its willingness to die after seeing the snow, but that's not the case. Snow cicadas use their long, low chirping to attract the opposite sex to mate with them, and the peak season for snow cicadas to reproduce is summer. You brought it across the ocean to the frozen Beiaozhou in the summer, and you must have prepared many protections for it to live in a warm environment, so you never heard its mating call before. When you landed and released it, you naturally heard its mating call. But it froze to death after just a few calls."

You Su weighed the Mosong sword in his hand. He didn't know if it was because he had been with Master Aoshu for too long, but he spoke in a somewhat sloppy manner.

The young man in white had his hands clenched tightly behind his back, and his muscles and bones were visible.

"But this unfortunate cicada has lived a worthwhile life, having been tormented in such an inexplicable way. After all, its death allowed you to practice the Snow Cicada Skill by accident. It can be considered as your benefactor." You Su smiled playfully.

The young man in white sneered, "You think it's too simple to destroy my Dao heart."

"I'm not lying to you. You can go to Nanyangzhou and ask any villager." You Su said innocently, "This is something that even the villagers in Nanyangzhou know. How can you, a genius from Kongyuan Mountain, not know it?"

This statement completely angered the young man in white. From the previous conversation, it can be seen that what he despised most were the so-called "country people". How could he accept the fact that he was not even as good as the country people?

He was seen suddenly standing in the air, as if there was an invisible force holding him up. His white clothes fluttered in the wind like wings spreading out for flight. He looked like a white-spotted snow cicada flapping its wings under the vast sky.

The surrounding area was filled with snow and the mountains were looming, which made his figure more graceful and his aura more extraordinary, as if he was an immortal descending to earth.

Before, he had never relied on the flying ability of the Feather Transformation Realm to attack from a lower position. It was obvious that he no longer intended to hold back on You Su.

You Suyi held the scabbard with one hand and the hilt with the other. He knew very well that he would not be able to defeat the enemy in front of him without drawing the Mosong Sword. But if he was determined to show the Mosong Sword, he had to ensure that he could kill anyone who saw it!

In the snow, the two people's breaths intertwined, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. The Mosong Sword trembled faintly in You Su's hand, and the sword intent was like a torrent ready to be unleashed, reaching its peak.

However, at this tense moment, the falling snow began to gradually stop, as if being gently smoothed by an invisible hand. In the sky, a faint outline loomed, which turned out to be the vague shadow of the sacred mountain behind the young man in white, majestic and mysterious.

The young man in white's face changed instantly. He glared at You Su angrily, his eyes showing both anger and unwillingness. Then he moved and disappeared instantly.

You Su realized that the crisis was temporarily resolved. Those who did not want to expose their scandals must have fled because the divine snow had stopped.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could completely exhale, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of his head.

Everything went dark before my eyes and I fell down.
