Chapter 12: Ruthless Attack Aimed to Kill
Azure Edge Sword was the most famous sword of Luonan City’s Qing Family. Who would’ve thought that it was actually given to this girl? Dugu Ao was in trouble now.
The appearance of the sword brought a drastic change to Dugu Ao’s expression. The glinting edge of the sharp sword tore through the air and lunged towards Dugu Ao who hastily pulled out his own sword to deflect the blow. Although the silver flash of his sword was also equally imposing, its power still fell short of the Azure Edge Sword.
Both of their cultivation levels were at the apex of Origin Realm. They were both on the edge of breaking through into Immersion Realm. In such a situation where both their strengths were equal, the quality of their weapons became the most crucial factor in determining victory and defeat.
The Azure Edge Sword was extremely sharp. After a dozen rounds, Dugu Ao’s sword was directly chopped in half. He even had a few tears in his robes. In the end, he was defeated and met the same fate as Qin Zhao. 1
Of course, his defeat still looked a bit better than Qin Zhao’s. At least he made Qing Yun unsheath her sword and lasted for a dozen or so strikes. Furthermore, everybody could clearly see that it was Qing Yun’s sword that caused her victory. If he also had such a sword, the victor would be unknown.
Now that even Dugu Ao had lost, there was naturally nobody left in Luosang City who could fight her. This also indicated that when the decisive battle of the Martial Examination happened at King City, Luosang City would definitely be at a disadvantage to Luonan City.
“You keep on calling other people trash and always trample others underfoot, but in the end, this is all you’re worth!” At this moment, an apathetic voice suddenly echoed as a dark, cloaked figure slowly walked toward the center.
His thin figure was prominent through his coarse and dusty clothing. He wore a shabby bamboo hat and the most astonishing thing was that nobody there could sense the person’s cultivation. It was almost as if he was just an ordinary person. This person’s clothing and aura wasn’t any different from the country folk in the streets.
But if he wasn’t a cultivator, then how could he come here? Furthermore, he even dared to enter the battling ground and boast so shamelessly, mocking the number one genius of Luosang City, Dugu Ao.
This person was not some stranger, in fact, it was Qin Yu. As someone who used to be Xie Di, he had plenty of ways to conceal his own aura so others could not tell his cultivation level. Originally, he didn’t want to fight, but with a certain someone repeatedly calling him out and others continuously mocking him as a piece of trash, he wanted to come out and prove who was actually the true trash here.
Dugu Ao who was just about to step down angrily turned around. His eyes widened as he glared angrily at the figure. Dugu Ao couldn’t tell who it was due to the low bamboo hat covering the figure’s face and the fact that it was evening. However, he could tell that the person was just an ordinary villager.
“Where did a vulgar ruffian like you come from, daring to mock this young master?” Dugu Ao shouted angrily. A surging killing intent emitted from his body.
A boor that didn’t have any cultivation actually dared to ridicule him, the number one genius of Luosang City? Did he think he was easy to bully? Although he was defeated, he was not somebody that could be so easily ridiculed.
“Qin Yu, you’ve finally come out!”
Qin Yu was just about to retort back to Dugu Ao when a shout interrupted him, also startling all the surrounding people.
“Huh? Qin Yu? Where’s Qin Yu?”
Those who knew Qin Yu all stared at Qing Yun who had just shouted loudly in amazement. She was staring rigidly at the grey-robed figure who had just arrived.
“That’s Qin Yu? It’s a mistake. It must be a mistake.” Those from the Qin Family all shook their heads in denial. There was no way he could be Qin Yu. Moreover, nobody brought Qin Yu with them when they left the Qin Family Manor. If that cripple came here, he would only be a burden so nobody wanted to take him.
But Qing Yun was staring at him unwaveringly, insisting he was Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was also somewhat surprised. How did this girl recognize him? He was dressed like this with his aura concealed. He even deliberately changed his voice slightly. The Qin Family had all been fooled yet how was this girl not? Was a woman’s sixth sense really that strong? So it turns out having the ire of a woman was actually this terrifying.
“Miss Qing, he can’t be Qin Yu.” Dugu Ao turned around, the tone of his voice firm.
“You’ve already lost so what are you being so noisy for? Scram!” Qing Yun didn’t give Dugu Ao the least bit of face.
“You! I…!” Dugu Ao’s face turned extremely unsightly.
“What? You still want to fight?” Qing Yun’s killing intent increased sharply as she pointed the Azure Edge Sword at Dugu Ao, the light from the sword blossoming again.
This woman seemed like an irreproachable, cool and elegant fairy with a fiery temper. Her motto was: if you say fight, then fight. There wasn’t a single extra word in between. She was simply a madwoman who only had a mindset for battle.
Right now, even Dugu Ao’s weapon was destroyed and he was left completely helpless with no way to fight back. He could only swallow his belly full of rage and glare at Qin Yu fiercely before leaving angrily with a swing of his sleeves.
Now, only Qin Yu and Qing Yun remained in the middle.
“Qin Yu, don’t think that by dressing up like this and changing your voice, this Great Aunt won’t recognize you! 2. Even if you turned into dust, this Great Aunt would still be able to recognize you! Don’t talk nonsense and take out your sword!” Qing Yun pointed her sword at Qin Yu, her gaze burning with overflowing anger. Everyone could sense the surging animosity radiating from Qing Yun and they couldn’t help but wonder, what exactly did Qin Yu do to her for there to be such resentment?
Qin Yu let out a bitter laugh and took off his hat, throwing it to the side. At this moment, his true appearance was exposed to everybody. That familiar refined and handsome face, who else could it be but Qin Yu?
