"That sword..."
Just as Jing Ni felt a pang of emotion upon seeing Han Guang, Yan Lu, upon seeing the sword in Jing Ni's hand, also recalled the past when Jing Ni repeatedly chased after him and his master.
The past that surfaced in my mind wasn't so clear to begin with.
Upon seeing the Jingni Sword, everything became even clearer.
The battle continues.
Although some unexpected events occurred during the fight, such as both sides changing their swords.
And the swords they exchanged were quite unexpected.
It's as if the two sides have exchanged weapons. Before, you used the invisible sword and I used the visible sword, but now it's my turn to use the invisible sword and you to use the visible sword.
However, the onlookers did not express any opinion.
On the contrary, both Fu Nian and Zhang Liang felt honored to witness this battle.
The cause of this battle, and why Yan Lu, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, would take the initiative to challenge Jing Ni, were all completely unknown to them.
But just the fact that I saw four completely different swords in this battle made the trip worthwhile.
This is a world of swords, in which swords hold an extremely unique position.
The people in the arena were all swordsmen.
There is also a sense of appreciation for all kinds of unusual swords.
After both sides changed their swords, the sword techniques they used also changed.
"like!"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but speak in his heart.
In his observation, the style of Yan Lu's moves at this moment was quite similar to the sword style used by the woman earlier.
Could this be the swordplay style of the Invisible Sword?
"Junior Brother Yan Lu, is this your true strength?" Fu Nian had a different thought. He had spent more time with Yan Lu and often played chess with him in the past.
At the beginning of the game, he was suppressing his junior brother Yan Lu, but in the end, the game repeatedly ended in a draw.
He was well aware of Yan Lu's ability to secure draws, and in the past, he often wondered if Yan Lu was doing it on purpose.
If so, it can only mean that Junior Brother Yan Lu's true strength is astonishing.
Only by becoming stronger can one precisely control the fight to a draw.
Today, after witnessing Yan Lu unleash a sword technique he had never used before, Fu Nian became even more convinced that Yan Lu had been hiding his true abilities all along.
This made him feel somewhat frustrated.
Fu Nian was also a prodigy, having mastered many Confucian classics at a very young age.
Whether in academic pursuits or swordsmanship, he achieved great success in a very short time, and even developed his own swordsmanship from Confucian classics.
However, one day he suddenly discovered that his junior brother, who was younger than him and had often played chess with him to a draw, actually had another side.
However, Fu Nian quickly reaffirmed his belief.
He is, after all, the senior brother. How can he be inferior to the junior brother?
We still need to keep working hard.
The opinions of others cannot influence the two sides in a conflict.
Jingni felt Yan Lu's changes the most deeply.
If Yan Lu's previous Confucian swordsmanship followed "propriety" and emphasized a grand and dignified path, then Yan Lu's current swordsmanship is more like a gentle, flowing stream.
Water nourishes all things without striving, yet it penetrates every nook and cranny.
In his hands, the Han Guang Sword complemented this sword technique perfectly, bringing its power to its fullest potential.
At this moment, Jingni gradually became serious as well.
Although Yan Lu was young, Jing Ni saw the shadow of Wuming in him. No, the other party was not Wuming, but the unique Yan Lu.
Therefore, her swordplay also changed abruptly.
It became incredibly sharp.
This is the killing sword of the Net.
This sword technique was easily neutralized by Nameless in the past.
And today, Yan Lu, how will you, this nameless disciple, fare when facing this sword technique?
Yan Lu immediately sensed a severe crisis.
Even so, he did not panic.
The two of them went back and forth.
The fierce sword moves were easily neutralized by Yan Lu's sword, like a gentle spring breeze.
At first, Fu Nian and Zhang Liang were a little worried when they saw Jing Ni's fierce moves, but now, seeing Yan Lu block these sword moves, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Only Xu Qing remained silent after saying just one sentence at the beginning.
He could tell that Jing Ni was giving Yan Lu some pointers.
The moves may seem fierce, but they actually have no killing intent.
Admittedly, Yan Lu has good aptitude.
But qualifications are qualifications, and ability is ability.
His strength is far inferior to Jing Ni's.
Jing Ni was already a top-tier member of the Luo Wang organization. After leaving the organization, her strength not only did not decrease but actually increased because of her change in lifestyle, as her mindset had changed.
If Jing Ni had gone all out, Yan Lu would never have been able to block her sword strike so easily as he is now.
Within the kendo dojo, tangible swords and intangible swords collide one after another.
"I hope you can see this next move clearly!"
Jing Ni suddenly spoke up, reminding Yan Lu.
Yan Lu felt a chill run down his spine, and then he saw the sword in Jing Ni's hand suddenly move again.
With a gentle flick of her wrist, it was as if a force that existed between heaven and earth was instantly drawn to her sword, transforming into a mighty offensive.
Even though Yan Lu tried his best to block it, he was still blown away by this force.
His eyes were filled with horror, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"Senior Brother Yan Lu!"
Seeing Yan Lu fly away, Zhang Liang quickly went towards Yan Lu and arrived at Yan Lu's side, who was lying on the ground, with a worried look in his eyes.
Yan Lu lay on the ground, looked at Zhang Liang who had arrived, and gently shook his head, "I'm fine!"
Then, with Zhang Liang's help, he stood up again.
He still held the Han Guang sword in his hand, but because he no longer had internal energy to sustain it, the sword was no longer lethal and was like a jade ornament.
He sheathed his sword, walked up to Jingni, cupped his hands, and bowed.
Yan Lu didn't say anything more.
But this competition has indeed come to an end.
……
"That last sword strike earlier seemed to be quite important to Yan Lu."
After the battle ended.
Yan Lu, Fu Nian, and Zhang Liang got together.
Xu Qing, on the other hand, was talking with Jing Ni in another part of Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
Xiaoshengxianzhuang truly lives up to its name, as it contains the word "sage." The scenery here is exceptionally beautiful, and it's close to the sea. From the back of the mountain, you can even see the vast ocean.
The boundless sea, with its surging blue waves, fills the eyes with a sense of expansiveness and inspires a sense of ambition. Of course, it may also give rise to a feeling of inferiority, a sense of the vastness of the universe and one's own insignificance, and the inability of human power to shake the heavens and the earth.
Jing Ni, however, did not have such feelings.
However, she hadn't seen the sea for many years.
The last time I saw the sea was when I was chasing Nameless, and finally found him at the beach.
Upon arriving in Sanghai, Xu Qing led the way, and we went straight to Youjian Inn, so naturally we didn't have time to appreciate the scenery of the sea.
Looking at the vast ocean, Jingni's thoughts were not on the sea at all, but still on the battle with Yan Lu earlier.
A powerful swordsman is able to sense the heart of the sword, thus achieving oneness with it.
During the confrontation with Yan Lu.
Her sword clashed with Yan Lu's sword quite a few times, and in the process, she also gained some insight into Yan Lu's thoughts.
Yan Lu still harbors resentment over the death of his master, Wuming!
That's why this challenge came about.
That's why she used that sword at the very end.
"That sword strike was something I learned from his master back then."
Jing Ni gathered her thoughts and answered Xu Qing's question.
"No wonder Yan Lu acted that way. It turns out you were passing on your sect's secret techniques to him again."
Xu Qing suddenly realized why Jing Ni had said those words back then.
Jingni remained silent; this was not actually her original intention.
However, after seeing Yan Lu display the sword technique that his master had used in the past, he suddenly felt a connection and thought of the move he had learned from Wuming.
Even though she had figured out that move on her own by observing Wuming's attack.
But after all, it was created by an anonymous person.
In the past, her final battle with the nameless man ended without a clear conclusion, so she never had the chance to use that move.
