The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

With the sound of metal cracking, Qu Feng watched helplessly as his unparalleled swift sword was sliced ​​in two by Zhu Qi with a single strike.

Zhu Qi's sword stopped at the hilt.

Qu Feng stared blankly at the sword in his hand, which now had two blades.

He heard Zhu Qi say, "This is my sword."

It was a calm voice, yet it carried a hint of reverence.

Qu Feng trembled as he said, "You're no match for An Qingwan?"

Zhu Qi said, "I can't even see her heels."

"Haha, hahaha..."

Qu Feng's face contorted completely, whether he was crying or laughing, it was hard to tell. Suddenly, he dropped the sword in his hand and, like a madman, staggered out of the inn.

Zhu Qi watched his retreating figure.

The other people in the inn also watched his retreating figure.

Qu Feng's sword strike was beyond reason, while Zhu Qi's sword strike was even more exquisite.

Even so, Zhu Qi still said that he was far inferior to An Qingwan. Was the Goddess of Xiaoxiang really that powerful?

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels could be heard outside the inn.

somebody is coming.

A girl dressed in white, whose upper half of her face was completely covered by a black cloth, still made people feel lost and disoriented at first glance.

She climbed out of the carriage.

A girl dressed in black and a girl who walked barefoot on the water without leaving a ripple helped her down from the carriage.

She carried a sword at her waist, an ordinary sword that could be bought for two taels of silver at a blacksmith's shop by the roadside.

Zhu Qi saw the girl immediately.

His forehead began to sweat uncontrollably.

He once wanted to challenge the girl, until he passed through Jiangling.

Zhu Qi's hand rested on the sword, and everyone could see that he was extremely nervous.

"I'm not here to kill you."

The girl stepped across the threshold of the inn and sat down at an empty table: "I know."

Zhu Qi said, "I've been waiting for you here to tell you some news: the Three Fools of Tingyun Manor will definitely come to duel with you soon."

The girl asked, "Which three fools?"

Zhu Qi said, "Sword fanatic, wine fanatic, and flower fanatic are the three fanatics. She is the eighth young lady of Tingyun Manor. After hearing your name, she will definitely come to find you."

The girl nodded: "Oh."

Zhu Qi said, "You can't underestimate her. She is the most talented swordswoman in Tingyun Manor in the past two hundred years. Everyone says that given time, she will definitely become the new Sword God!"

The girl asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Zhu Qi said, “In my opinion, your swordsmanship is by no means inferior to hers. Since the Sword God abandoned his sword, there has been no true duel between the top swordsmen in the martial world for a long time. Your battle with her will surely be more sensational than the Flying Immortal Sword on the shore of Dongting Lake and the Moonlit Night in Jiangling. Whoever wins could become the number one swordsman in the world in the future! I am a swordsman myself, so after seeing your sword, the first thing I wanted to tell you was this news. Unfortunately…”

The girl asked, "What's a pity?"

Zhu Qi said, "It's a pity you're going to Shu. The journey will inevitably be turbulent and might affect your duel with her. If either of you is injured, the battle will be meaningless. If I had the ability, I would definitely eliminate Moyu Valley and Huanxi Daoren. But my abilities are limited. I can only warn you that Sanchi is coming and to be careful of Moyu Valley and Huanxi Daoren."

The girl asked, "What if I don't accept the challenge?"

Zhu Qi said, "Then she will follow you until you accept the challenge."

The girl said, "I understand, thank you."

This is exactly what she wanted to see, so there's nothing to worry about.

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

The girl is eating.

She always puts a lot of thought into food.

Even when surrounded by onlookers, they can eat with complete focus.

For the blind, eating is a rare way to please themselves.

The meal ended in silence.

Many people are watching, but no one is saying anything.

After paying for the meal, the girl got up and walked out to the carriage.

Just then, Zhu Qi suddenly thrust out a chopstick.

The chopsticks didn't look like chopsticks; they were more like a sword, and this "sword" was pointing directly at the girl's right hand.

The girl seemed oblivious; she simply raised her hand as she stepped over the threshold to catch a drop of water dripping from the eaves.

This is an action so natural it couldn't be more natural.

She raised her hand very slowly, so slowly that anyone who saw it would think it was very slow.

But it was precisely this slowness that allowed him to avoid Zhu Qi's swift and powerful strike, which was even faster than the music.

The chopsticks stopped.

The wind stopped.

Zhu Qi stopped.

"The rain is going to stop."

The girl sighed, seemingly still unaware of what had just happened.

Zhu Qi watched the girl until she gracefully boarded the carriage and headed towards Shizhou.

He suddenly felt all his strength drain away, and he slid to the ground like a limp rag.

He had seen many swords.

Only An Qingwan's sword is the most special.

It was an ordinary sword, a sword that had completely blended into the ordinary, into nature, and subtly influenced everything.

This is already another level of swordsmanship.

Is this your sword?

Zhu Qi was panting heavily, regretting that he had insisted on trying it. He could no longer bear to look at his sword.

P.S.: Thank you to Night Wind Feather, Yi Ci, and I Dominate the World for the razor blades.

Hey everyone, please give me some recommendation tickets and monthly tickets!

65. Then kill them all. [2.5k]

I've also heard of the name of the Eighth Miss Sanchi of Tingyun Manor.

On the way from Lizhou to Shizhou, Lan Xiaogu, sitting in the carriage, talked about what she knew.

An Qingwan and Jin Xueyi listened attentively.

They didn't know much about the affairs of the martial arts world, so their purpose wasn't to deepen their understanding of Sanchi, but simply to listen to the stories and dispel the boredom of traveling in the rain.

Lan Xiaogu said, "There is a saying in the martial arts world that there are seven great families. These seven families have been passed down for hundreds of years and are known as the holy land of martial arts. Tingyun Manor and the Xu family of Huainan, which is now invincible, are among them."

Jin Xueyi said, "The Xu family of Huainan? Is that the same Xu family that the Prince of Pingnan's mansion spread rumors that the Liangjiang Gang was going to pledge allegiance to?"

Lan Xiaogu said, "That's right. The Xu family now has Grandmaster Xu Zhong in charge, so they are currently enjoying unparalleled prestige. Tingyun Manor is different. Tingyun Manor has not produced a Grandmaster for more than a hundred years. The entire manor is gradually declining and no longer has the prestige of being the top sword sect in the world."

Jin Xueyi couldn't help but think of her own home.

A hundred years ago, when the Celestial Mystery Elder was still alive, the Su family was a renowned family among the top in the martial arts world.

Even today, although the Su family still controls a large amount of wealth, they can no longer be considered prominent in the underworld.

The clouds in the sky are like white robes, changing in an instant like greyhounds.

She sighed.

Lan Xiaogu said, "The current master of Tingyun Manor is Yu Shen. He originally aspired to revitalize Tingyun Manor, but thirty years ago, he inadvertently provoked Garuda King of the Northern Desert Demon Sect and lost his right arm. Helpless, he could only place his hopes on the next generation."

"Yu Shen had a total of eight children, all of whom were daughters. He had not originally planned to have so many children, but because the martial arts aptitude of the children he had before was not up to his standards, he continued to have more children."

An Qingwan and Jin Xueyi: "..."

Lan Xiaogu said, "Actually, at first, that eighth young lady, like her seven older sisters, was not pleasing to Yu Shen's eye. No, it wasn't that she was not pleasing to his eye, but that he clearly disliked her."

Jin Xueyi asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Lan Xiaogu explained, "The Eighth Miss is exquisitely beautiful and extremely cute, but she has always been dull and silly. Until she was six years old, she couldn't read a single character, so everyone thought she was a born idiot."

Jin Xueyi asked in astonishment, "Then how did she become so powerful?"

Lan Xiaogu said, "When a Taoist priest from Jinglun Heavenly Palace went to visit Tingyun Manor, he saw the Eighth Miss squatting on the ground playing. He could tell at a glance that the Eighth Miss was not really stupid, but was born 'foolish'. He went up and talked with the Eighth Miss, clearing up her confusion. From then on, the Eighth Miss soared to great heights!"

"He started learning swordsmanship at seven, became well-versed in the sword manual of Tingyun Manor at eight, could see the flaws in Yu Shen's sword moves at nine, and was able to defeat Yu Shen in a move by ten."

"Such talent can be called a true sword prodigy."

"From the age of twelve, the Eighth Miss left Tingyun Manor with a black-sheathed longsword, challenging one master swordsman after another."

"To this day, a full ten years have passed, and no one knows how many people she has defeated. All that is known is that she has never lost. Even the disciples of the Sword God think she is very similar to the Sword God."

"The Eighth Miss has a peculiar habit: after defeating her opponent, she must take away her opponent's sword."

"She was obsessed with swords, sincere in swords, and also obsessed with flowers and wine, so people called her Miss Three Obsessions."

"Actually, there are not only three idiots, there is also one more idiot."

These words greatly piqued An Qingwan and Jin Xueyi's interest.

The Three Fools were actually Four Fools?

An Qingwan asked, "Which one is it?"

Lan Xiaogu said, "She's also terrible with directions."

An Qingwan and Jin Xueyi: "..."

Is this "痴" (chi) different from the previous three "痴" (chi)?

Lan Xiaogu said, "She has absolutely no sense of direction when she goes out. If no one is leading her, even at the entrance of Tingyun Manor, she might go to the completely opposite place. An Qingwan, in this respect, she is very similar to you. When you go on a long trip, you definitely need someone to act as your eyes."

An Qingwan's eye twitched.

Don't compare me to someone who has no sense of direction; that's beneath you!

Lan Xiaogu said seriously, "Let's get down to business. Just like Zhu Qi said, your battle with the Eighth Miss will definitely be a battle that shakes the world. Are you confident that you can beat her?"

Before An Qingwan could speak, Jin Xueyi had already looked over.

But in those eyes, as bright as stars, there was no worry, only faith.

Even though An Qingwan's eyes were covered with a coarse black cloth and she was a few years younger than the Eighth Miss, she still believed that An Qingwan was invincible in the world!

An Qingwan laughed and answered quickly without any hesitation: "I won't lose."

……

The rain stopped in the afternoon.

Although the road was still muddy, the carriage moved much more smoothly.

After half a day, by evening, the carriage finally left the territory of Lizhou and arrived in Shizhou.

At this time, An Qingwan and the others were only ten miles away from the secluded residence of the divine physician Cui Sanbian, as mentioned by Sikong Tingxue.

But they could no longer leave.

Firstly, Shizhou is mountainous, making it difficult for horse-drawn carriages to travel.

Secondly, a corpse suddenly appeared on their path.

The three of them, An Qingwan and the others, were not unfamiliar with the corpse.
