Vol 18 Chapter 9 (2/2)
Both men stood several feet away from each other and are lined up so that Zhu Ji, Xiao Pan and Lu Buwei can see both of the equally well fro tables Botharound and facing each other The four eyes met one another
Normally, Han Jie maintains a proud look but presently, he is like a completely different person He looks extre his opponent He did not show the least sign of underesti his opponent
His right hand is holding onto his sword hilt in a firs are apart and he looked as steady as apose but his siiven everyone the i expert swordsman
Even Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi are secretly rooting for him
His eyes becans of e him appear to be a deeply mysterious and unfathomable character
The hall is so quiet one can hear a pin drop Everyone held their breaths in silence and did not show any signs of iht but so aura has already filled the hall and stifled everyone
The stifling aura conveys one clear e: He will not attack unnecessarily but if he attacks, it will be an earth shattering attack with ultith and precision
Across Wu Yingyuan’s back, Teng Yi wondered: “This kid is Shan Rou’s martial disciple Why are their sword styles so different?”
Xiang Shaolong had just exchanged a knowing look with Ji Yanran Hearing his words, he explained: “Since Cao Quidao can train two co to their abilities, we have to accept that he is already at Grandmaster level”
Teng Yi nodded in agreement
An ordinary Sword Master will only kno to impart his own skills to his disciples and create copies of himself
Only so to the aptitudes, strengths and shortcos of his students
Shan Rou’s strength lies in speed and her sword styles focused on agility
Han Jie’s forte is his steadiness so his sword attacks are ruthless
From these two person’s accomplishments, one can know the unparallel level of swordsmanshi+p Cao Quidao has attained
Opposite him, the usually insolent Lian Jiao is equally serious in this life-and-death situation He waits patiently for Han Jie’s first move
On the surface, there is no sign of hi sword has been drawn and held horizontally in front of his chest However, everyone can feel that he is inferior compared to Han Jie who hasn’t even drawn his sword
After so for each other to htly forward, like a hunter who is looking for the weakness of his prey His eyes grew even sharper and he stared unblinkingly at Lian Jiao
Although the distance between the two men is still about the same as before, it felt like Han Jie had alreadythat cannot be put into words
Finally, Lian Jiao can no longer withstand Han Jie’s pressure and reacted With a loud roar, the sword in his hand began toit with precise footwork, he closed the distance between him and Han Jie
After a few fake moves, the sword eventually cu onto the sword hilt
In the eyes of the experienced swordsmen, Lian Jiao’s every move can be used to deceive the enemy and increase his own ferocity His sword th ement
He is also wise in attacking his opponent’s hand directly This way, it is more difficult for Han Jie to pull out his sword to counter attack
Even if Han Jie does not suffer any heavy injury, a s a duel of expert swordsmen can be the cause for failure In conclusion, Lian Jiao is worthy of being classified as a top expert swordsy
Even Xiang Shaolong felt that Han Jie has underesti sorry for him
JIANG!
Using his right foot, Han Jie stepped forward by one step and his body is in an odd position His sword slid out in a bright shi+ flash In the split second that was too close for coed to use his half-draord to block Lian Jiao devastating blow
Never in his wildest dreams did Lian Jiao expect such a bizarre e his attack as he had put in all his effort
Han Jie actually took another step forward and hit out with his right shoulder, knocking squarely into Lian Jiao’s chest Using his right hand, he forcefully pushed his sword back into the sheath The tip of Lian Jiao’s sword is locked in a grip between the sheath and Han Jie’s sword
Everyone present is thoroughly shaken This kind of swordplay is indeed rare and unique
Of course Lian Jiao’s sword can still be retrieved but his attacking aura has co the blow on his chest, it is evenback his sword, Lian Jiao hurriedly retreated
An overwhelated and Lian Jiao has lost his first-e
JIANG!
Han Jie’s smooth and sharp blade finally left its sheath
As long as one is not blind, anyone can tell that this is a priceless and exquisite weapon
Xiang Shaolong had to admit that Han Jie’s sword is even better than Bloodhich is given to him by Li Mu
Teng Yi sighed: “Lian Jiao is finished!”
“Stop!”
Everyone was stunned
Originally, Han Jie’s sword is about to press on with an attack but after hearing this command, he sheathe his sword
Lian Jiao is still heavily pressured by Han Jie’s aura and took seven consecutive steps back Although he has yet to lose officially, anyone can tell that he is at a serious disadvantage
After everyone collected themselves and look for the speaker, they discovered that it is Guan Zhongxie
Guan Zhongxie heartily laughed: “Brother Han, ed your sword is and what is its name?”
If it was anyone else, the croould have jeered and protested, saying that Guan Zhongxie is trying to help Lian Jiao as they belong to the sa air around hi ulterior motives
So happens that Han Jie is facing Guan Zhongxie anyway He sain He unexpectedly threw his sword towards Guan Zhongxie Due to his special throwing method, by the tixie, the sword hilt is facing towards Guan Zhongxie
Under the dazed expression of the crowd, Guan Zhongxie coer claith his thuht the sword precisely without any hesitation
Time seems to have stop in its tracks
The conceited aura of the sword has been dissolved as it lay obediently in Guan Zhongxie’s hands
Holding the sword horizontally in front of his eyes, Guan Zhongxie could not help but praise
Witnessing Guan Zhongxie’s skill in catching his flying sword, Han Jie is slightly agitated like everyone else He s Armies and is one of the ten swords in ed by Ouyezi”
The crowd began tothemselves
Ouyezi is aMo Xie couple in ter’s ransom
Lian Jiao is in an aard position Standing there, he can neither retreat nor attack
After adxie threw the sword back at Han Jie, sreat My martial brother has lost this round In the future, I will definitely seek your advice”
Everyone began to clap loudly The applause are not for Han Jie’s unassailable sword skills but for Guan Zhongxie’sof the situation
Lao Ai and his men naturally felt uncomfortable
Xiang Shaolong and his xie pacified the crowd, saved Lian Jiao’s life and put down Han Jie’s arrogance, killing three birds in one stone Only he has this kind of ability
All the guests unconsciously looked at Guan Zhongxie, followed by Xiang Shaolong In a way, Guan Zhongxie has gain an edge over Xiang Shaolong and Xiang Shaolong is teotten hero
Lu Buwei is extremely pleased with the turn of events; from a potential loss of life and face to a neutral conclusion Raising his cup, he toasted: “Coht!”
A, everyone toasted in return
Without saying another word, Lian Jiao returned to his seat
Han Jie received a cup of wine fro to his seat He continued to put on the airs of soht
Lu Buwei is about to say so else when Guoxin abruptly stood up fro his respects to the hosts, he loudly declared: “The earlier battle was thrilling but not thrilling enough I ae someone to add to the liveliness Will Eive me your consent”
Hearing his words, the crowd turned silent and everyone has the sae?
Even Lao Ai frowned, indicating that the matter has not been approved by him
Only Qiu Risheng and the other members of Weinan Martial Arts School have a look of preparedness on their faces Needless to say, they have planned for this a long ti falory to the school
Xiang Shaolong has a sudden realization and knows the identity of the person Guoxin wanted to challenge
