Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 213: The Eagle of the Blue Sky (XII)
The woman's voice was plain and indifferent, but not cold.

Zhao Fei glanced over.

Looking closely, the woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

She was wearing a white dress and had a slim figure.

When the mountain breeze blew, the simply tied hair and white clothes fluttered in the wind.

There was a hint of coldness in the slightly raised corners of his eyes, and his eyes naturally swept over Zhao Yuyan and met Zhao Fei's gaze.

The two siblings have learned a lot from their surroundings and have gained a lot of experience in the world.

However, one cannot find any corresponding sectarian faction from the woman's clothing or the sword on her waist.

I felt weird again.

Why does a girl in her prime sound like a hermit living in seclusion in the mountains?

Driven by curiosity, the brother and sister ignored her words of sending them away.

Yang Juncai, who had been silent just now, spoke nervously:
"Sister, it's... it's my fault."

"Just now, the white cranes were singing in harmony. I was so excited by them that I forgot everything else and couldn't control my voice. The sound traveled far away and attracted them."

"I'll send them away right away."

Although the young boy was nervous, he spoke clearly.

Zhao Yuyan smiled at him and said, "It's not your fault. We are the ones who have disturbed the Pure Land."

"I just didn't expect that there would be a hermit near the White Tiger Cliff in Panzhou."

He asked curiously:
"You are about the same age as me. Have you always been here?"

The woman who had just appeared started by asking them to see her off, but now, for some reason, as she looked at the Gusu siblings, there was a flicker of doubt in her eyes, and she didn't rush to say anything cold.

Seeing that her sister didn't say anything, Yang Juncai seemed to have a good impression of Zhao Yuyan, who was of similar age and spoke politely, so she responded in a low voice:

"no."

"We occasionally go to Panzhou City, but we don't go very far because..."

Before he could finish his words, the woman frowned and interrupted him:
"Where are you from?"

"From the accent, he doesn't seem to be from Yunnan or Guizhou."

Zhao Yuyan responded: "We are from Gusu."

The woman muttered "No wonder", and the confusion in her eyes eased a little.

With a barely perceptible look of vigilance:

"Gusu to Panzhou is a full 4,000 miles away. How did you happen to be here?"

Zhao Yuyan wanted to respond to her.

Zhao Fei on the side did not like being questioned like this, and only said: "When you are wandering in the martial arts world, you can let your horse run wherever it wants. Maybe you will end up at White Dragon Cliff or White Tiger Cliff. Who knows where you will end up."

She was also very curious about the woman's origins, so she stared at the long sword on her waist and suddenly said:

"This sister is indifferent to the world and lives in seclusion here. She must have a good art career."

"I wonder if the sword should be sealed?"

"If there is no sealed sword, how about we fight a few moves? If I lose even a move, I will never linger on the beautiful scenery of White Tiger Cliff, nor will I tell outsiders that there is someone living in seclusion here."

Zhao Yuyan was smart and understood the intention immediately.

Once you draw your sword and try your luck, you'll be able to see your opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

Thinking of the person I pursued before, I’m afraid my sister also has some doubts.

After hearing her words, the woman's originally calm face suddenly froze.

Then he shook his head and said, "I am not as indifferent to the martial arts world as you said. On the contrary, there are many people in the martial arts world that I want to defeat."

"but."

She said to Zhao Fei: "You are not among them."

"Leave now, you are no match for me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Gusu siblings looked at the woman with even more sparkling eyes.

Zhao Yuyan reminded seriously:

"Sir, don't look down on my sister's young age. She is praised by my elders for her talent. Although she is not the best in the martial arts world, not everyone can beat her."

"Besides, my sister's swordsmanship is unique. If we only talk about swordsmanship, it would be a bit abrupt for you to say that you are no match for her."

"Oh?"

When the woman heard this, her eyes changed slightly, and she looked at Zhao Fei again, as if wondering if she had really made a mistake.

Fortunately, she is a woman.

If another man had stared at her like that, he would have drawn his sword long ago.

Zhao Fei didn't pay attention to his brother's words and asked:
"You just said that there are many people in the martial arts world that you want to defeat. Who are these people?"

The woman's eyes ignored the Gusu siblings and looked north through the green forest.

Accompanied by the cries of cranes begging for food inside the fence, Yang Juncai said:

"First, the most powerful successors of the major sects, and then..."

Before he could finish his next words, Zhao Yuyan showed an excited and surprised look:

"You want to defeat the younger generation in this martial arts world, and then go to Yancheng to challenge the Sword God, is that right?!"

Now it was Yang Juncai's turn to be surprised.

He had only said half of his words when someone guessed what he was saying.

When the Gusu siblings saw that this was true, they couldn't help but show a hint of admiration, and they didn't take the other party's previous words about seeing them off to heart at all.

Not to mention his talent and ability, his courage alone is extremely rare.

Yang Juncai asked, "How did you guess so accurately?"

Zhao Yuyan pointed at the girl next to him and said, "Because my sister has the same idea."

The woman's eyes brightened, and she heard Zhao Fei say:
"If we talk about the most powerful descendants of the major sects, let's not talk about Huashan, Kunlun, Wudang, and the Western Regions for now. Hengshan Sect is unavoidable no matter what."

"Have you heard of it?"

"The Sword God has four true disciples. They practice different things, but each of them has inherited the Sword God's legacy. They have a superb sword technique and are the best among the younger generation."

When the young woman heard this, her left hand naturally rested on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

"Of course I know the four great teachings of the Sword God."

She spoke softly and calmly, but there was an inexplicable fighting spirit in her eyes.

Zhao Fei heard her tone and didn't seem to be afraid at all.

Looking carefully at her age, she was not much different from the other four.

Although there are many talented people in this world, and many of them can be compared with the four true disciples of Hengshan, it is rare to find those of the same age.

Does this person really have the ability, or is he just good at talking?
Zhao Fei originally just wanted to find out this person's background and see if she had any connection with the people he was chasing.

At this moment, he really wanted to fight.

"Since we have the same goal, let me test your swordsmanship."

After she finished speaking, she drew her sword, her face under the gauze curtain full of seriousness.

As Zhao Fei danced with the sword, a cold sword intent was transmitted from the long sword.

Zhao Yuyan knew that her sister was serious, so she quickly stepped back, not forgetting to pull Yang Juncai back with her.

He then threw all the stream groupers in Xiao Yang's bamboo basket toward the white cranes to stop them from screaming and creating a realistic feeling of panic.

The two young men leaped up to the roof which was ten feet high.

When Yang Juncai saw the cold light flashing from the sword below, he realized that the swordsmanship of the girl dancing with the sword was extraordinary.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

He had never seen it before and couldn't help but ask about it.

Zhao Yuyan said: "My sister is practicing the Cold Rain Sword Technique, which is a legacy left by a martial arts master in Gusu. My sister has mastered it."

"Looking at her movements, she is already very dedicated."

He reminded from the side: "Your sister compares herself to the masters of Hengshan Four True Disciples. My sister is likely to use the Three Immortals Misty Rain Sword from the Cold Rain Sword Art when she strikes."

"If she doesn't draw her sword now, it will be really unfair if she loses later."

He directly explained the sword techniques and sword moves, not afraid that Zhao Fei would suffer any loss.

Because it is impossible for others to see the remaining sword techniques.

Even if this woman is very skilled, this must be her first time learning this sword technique.

really
Seeing Zhao Fei's moves, the woman also drew her sword.

She said nothing, holding the sword in her left hand horizontally in front of her, apparently giving the initiative to Zhao Fei.

The white crane in the bamboo fence picked up a jumping live fish. When it flapped its wings, a cold sword light appeared in the open space in front of the house.

Zhao Fei swung his sword straight down, splitting the sword light into three and dropping straight down to his head!

The woman dodged sideways without any unnecessary movement.

Zhao Fei seemed to have anticipated this. She swung her sword and slashed it across the waist. This time the sword light was even brighter and more dazzling!
The woman in white was not affected by the sword light. Zhao Fei's sword was extremely fast, but the woman in white was agile. She raised her sword and leaped over it. At that moment, Zhao Fei reversed his grip on the sword and gathered his energy to thrust upward.

This stab is the essence of the Three Immortals Misty Rain Sword!
The spreading sword light gave people a sense of confusion in the mist and rain, while a sharp cold light was hidden under the mist and rain, and it could be like a stream falling from a cliff from bottom to top, showing its momentum!

"Zheng~!"

In a flash, the woman in white twisted her body with extremely fast speed.

She also swung the long sword in her left hand back, scattering the misty sword light, and with an extremely fast sword, pressed down on Zhao Fei's sword!

Although this attack came later, it was able to catch up with Zhao Fei's fast sword.

And her skills are even stronger!

As the swords touched, the internal forces collided, and Zhao Fei's sword immediately vibrated and deflected.

Just this one strike startled her and she knew the strength of the opponent.

Even though he still had some sword moves to perform, he decisively leaped back, put away his sword, and stopped fighting.

This made the woman in white feel unsatisfied.

She looked at Zhao Fei a few more times, then sheathed her sword.

And said:

"You haven't used up all your sword skills yet."

Zhao Fei said frankly: "My skills are inferior to yours. Even if I use all my strength, I won't be able to gain any advantage."

"Besides, it's just a sword fight, not a fight to the death, so I won't chase after the sword."

"When my power increases, it won't be too late to fight you again."

The woman in white nodded: "If it had been another ten years, I wouldn't have dared to take that sword strike like that."

"Is this called the Cold Rain Sword Technique?"

"Yes."

"There is a chill in your sword, but it has not yet been activated. It seems that the power of this sword technique can only be revealed when your skills are further improved."

Zhao Fei was a little surprised by her words.

I didn't expect that the other party could see so many things in such a short time.

This kind of eyesight must have been influenced by a martial arts master, otherwise ordinary people at this age would not have such insight even if they have great martial arts skills.

The woman in white muttered again: "The one who left this sword technique engraving must be an extraordinary master."

Hearing her mention the word "leftover", Zhao Fei remembered something.

So, indirect approach:

"There are many masters in the world who have left behind such inscriptions."

"Recently, the Panzhou relics have caused a lot of trouble in Yunnan and Guizhou, and more and more martial arts masters are gathering here."

As she spoke, she paid close attention to the expression of the woman in white.

But I couldn't tell anything from her face.

However, she seemed to have regained the attitude she had when she first appeared:

"We don't accept outsiders here, so please leave now."

Zhao Yuyan jumped down from the roof and stood with her sister.

At this time he didn't say anything and listened to his sister's arrangements.

Zhao Fei didn't say much, and said directly: "Goodbye."

The brother and sister turned and left.

Suddenly, the voice of the woman in white came:
"If you are looking for the remains of Panzhou, you should not come to Baihu Cliff, but go to the plateau on the slope."

Zhao Fei turned around when he heard the voice:

"Then I'll tell you a piece of news."

"I heard that one of the four great disciples of Hengshan is heading south and will arrive in Yunnan and Guizhou soon."

"The situation in Liangdu is gathering, and he might show up there."

She stopped talking here and soon disappeared on the flower-filled path.

"elder sister."

Yang Juncai asked: "I have never heard Master talk about this sword technique. I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

"The world is so vast that it cannot be explained in a few words. There are many things you have not heard of."

There were no outsiders around, so the woman in white smiled and patted his head again:

"Don't be so careless next time and don't let outsiders in again."

"So as not to disturb Master's meditation."

"Yes."

He asked curiously, "Why did my sister tell them about the lost engraving?"

The woman in white said, "If these two people really came from Gusu, it is very likely that they came here for this relic. Lead them there so that they won't be thinking about this place all the time."

Yang Juncai said, "Then will you go to Liangdu?"

"The four great disciples of Hengshan are all very powerful people. Last time I went to Panzhou City, many people in the inn talked about them."

"but."

He smiled confidently: "Sister must be no worse than them."

The woman in white thought for a moment:
"Let's go and ask the master first."

"Ah."

After the conversation, the two walked up the secluded path behind the wooden house and entered a secluded place with more flowers.
On the other side, Zhao Fei and Zhao Yuyan had already led their horses onto the official road.

Along the way, they were also discussing the origins of the two people just now.

Normally, after exchanging a few moves, each other could see some clues of their skills.

But after the two of them countered each other's moves, they couldn't even tell where the other came from.

This is very strange
"If she went to Liangdu, would she be a match for Third Senior Brother?"

"Third Brother's Sword"

"That's better than my sister."

Zhao Yuyan spoke frankly, but the girl snorted: "What's so great about that? If they were the same age, they might not be my opponents."

"Not bad"

Zhao Yuyan knew that she was unhappy.

Then he raised his voice and said:

"Even if a sword god of the same age met my sister, he could only fight with her for a hundred rounds at most."

Zhao Fei knew that he was bragging, but she still laughed.

"Sword God."

"When he went fishing near Taihu Lake, I always won."

Zhao Yuyan said weakly, "That's the nest I made overnight."

"If you don't help me, will you help others?"

"No, my father and mother are not as dear as my sister."

The boy rolled his eyes imperceptibly, thinking to himself that you are the only one in my family who has beaten me since I was a child.

Zhao Fei pondered, "It would be great if this person went to Liangdu."

"If Third Senior Brother is looking for trouble with us, we can lead her over and we can get away."

"Then where are we going now?"

Zhao Yuyan followed up with a question: "But let's go directly to Liangdu?"

"No, let's go to Panzhou Grassland nearby."

"This Panzhou remains makes me even more curious."

"it is good!"

The two men set off on horseback. Baihu Cliff was in the southeast of Panzhou. If they wanted to go to the grassland at this time, they would ride their horses north.

However, they had a clear direction and were able to ride very fast on horseback.

We rested in Panzhou City that night, and set off for the grassland the next day.

This is the highest alpine grassland in Guizhou.

The winding mountain road is not easy to walk on.

In addition, since they were not locals, the brother and sister did not dare to take the wrong route when passing through some side roads.

The sun was shining, and when they were unsure of their direction
A large group of horns and wind chimes sounded from the mountain road
