Chapter 27 (2/2)

To her surprise, though, violent killing intent surged out of Yun Shu’s ugly sword. Facing the unscrupulous wind, the killing intent, together with the sword intent Yun Shu had learned from the stele, spurted out like a soaring dragon.

Bang!

The killing wind that arrived first was instantly cut off by Yun Shu’s sword!

Su Lingwen should have known better since her sword wasn’t even that powerful. Yun Shu didn’t need her protection, obviously.

Yun Shu was a bit surprised as well, wondering if he had tried a bit too hard. He thought it would be something difficult, but in fact, this was much easier than he imagined.

He looked down at the ugly sword, and a realization struck him suddenly. The ominous air in the sword could magnify his power. Therefore, it was not ideal for practicing.

Yun Shu said to Su Lingwen, “Lend me your wooden sword.”

Su Lingwen did as Yun Shu said. Yun Shu stuck his black sword in the ground and picked up the wooden sword. He then stepped forward to stand in front of Su Lingwen.

The next gust of killing wind had arrived. Yun Shu bawled out and kept wielding the wooden sword in his hand.

This time, the power of the sword was much weaker, just as Yun Shu expected. However, he still managed to split the killing wind one by one.

Sitting behind Yun Shu, Su Lingwen stared at his back. She was genuinely impressed.

Two hours later.

Standing in front of Su Lingwen, Yun Shu had cleaved every blast of the killing wind that had come. As a result, both of them remained safe and sound.

Yun Shu needed to take a breather after the excursion. A while later, he turned around and asked Su Lingwen, “Are you alright?”

Su Lingwen didn’t know what to say. The fact that Yun Shu did such a good job even though this was his first time practicing made her feel a bit inferior.

“Not bad…” Su Lingwen didn’t want to pay him a compliment.

Yun Shu spent some time catching his breath. “True. I do have a better understanding of the sword intent now, but this isn’t enough…”

“What do you mean? Not enough?” Su Lingwen exclaimed.

Soon, she realized that she wasn’t responding properly. She feigned a couple of coughs and said, “If you do think so, next time, try it in a deeper part of the valley.”

“You’re suggesting to go deeper? Why?” asked Yun Shu.

Su Lingwen explained, “The wind comes from the Forest of Deadly Wind. When you go deeper, the wind is going to be more powerful. But still, be careful!”

Yun Shu was quite surprised. “Really? Then I’ll head there tonight!”

Su Lingwen didn’t know what to say. She was, in fact, very talented as well, a prodigy even. However, since she became familiar with Yun Shu, she kept doubting whether she was too slow.

And today, her sense of inferiority had grown even stronger!

She needed to work harder. Su Lingwen promised this to herself.
