Relating Yearning with Sword - C33
Of course, there was a reason to say that it was a ghost. That was because this shadow that suddenly appeared was practically a ghost. A shadow has no substance but only an image, is light and flighty… All of this fits in.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at her again. It was clear that his image had changed again.
To everyone present, it was almost inconceivable. A gust of wind blew up the fallen leaves in the courtyard and also caused that mysterious shadow to appear.
The light, the moonlight, everything was blurry.
Under the gaze of the crowd, that tall shadow was like a shining piece of satin, fluttering in the air as gently as it could.
Only a single piece of silk or a long garment could give rise to such fluctuations and movements in the wind. However, it was a person.
He was definitely a person.
In front of the wide-opened eyes of the crowd, the man was clearly standing right in front of them. He was at most three feet away from Qiu Taikou.
With such a short distance between them, he could recognize them even without using a lantern.
After the intense beating of his heart, he finally managed to calm down.
One thing was for sure, he was a real man, and a mysterious man at that.
His disheveled hair, clean appearance, and tall and thin figure were all wrapped in a shiny black long robe. Looking at him suddenly, this person seemed to be completely covered in satin, and not even the slightest trace of a cut could be seen.
In the wind dancing in the loose hair, showing a thin, gloomy face, and a pair of shining eyes. His eyes were staring straight at Qiu Taikou.
Qiu Taizong had always been such an impressive figure! He didn’t expect that he would show such fear in front of the man’s shining eyes. He was so nervous and his knees couldn’t help trembling.
The man’s eyes stared unblinkingly at Qiu Taizong’s face and nodded gloomily.
“Are you the constable surnamed Qiu?”
“No …” “Wrong.” Qiu Taiquan said.
“You want to see me?”
“Yes …” “You are?” “I am the person you want to meet.”
“Oh …” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but take a step back. “So …” You are the Golden Winged Child … Jin Da… “They’re in charge?” Qiu Taiquan asked.
“Not bad, you guessed correctly.”
The low, magnetic voice barely needed a voice to be heard clearly by everyone present. Due to the self-confession of the newcomer, the hearts of everyone present trembled. Tian Tian had always been on guard against the old golden chicken and the old golden chicken. At this moment, the golden chicken was right in front of them.
The moment Qiu Taizong heard that the other person had admitted his identity, he grasped the handle of his saber with his right hand, perhaps out of nervousness.
Surprisingly, the other person, known as the “golden chicken” evil fiend, actually showed a smile on his face. However, his eyes were still glinting unblinkingly on the face of Ruan Qiu.
The grip on the handle slowly loosened.
“You can use the knife in your hand.” “And I’ll give you three chances.”
“Dang …” Head, I don’t mean that. ” Qiu Taiquan said.
Qiu Taiquan could not help but take another step back. Under his watchful eyes, more people had gathered in the yard.
“Head of the Qiu Family, let go of me, our brothers are here to receive you …”
The one who spoke was Jiang Zhao, the chief general sent by the Shen Lo Battalion, with one hand on his waist and the other clutching his sword, the long sword of a horse.
Obviously, he was telling him that his men were already in ambush, and if he needed to give an order, he could shoot them all at the same time. Hehe, old golden chicken, even if you have wings on you, you still won’t be able to fly away.
With this thought in mind, Qiu Taiquan felt much more at ease.
However, he still could not let his guard down. It would be easy to execute a strike, but difficult to retract his strike. He still had to have a full grasp of the situation.
The golden chicken still stood where it was, unmoving. Its hair fluttered in the night wind, and its clothes fluttered in the wind.
A strand of white hair appeared on the forehead of the golden chicken. It made people suddenly realize that he was already quite old. At the very least, he wasn’t a young man anymore.
In a short period of time, the scene had changed slightly. Wang Zhilian of the Cloud Sail Wings, Hong Hou Tian of the Hong family, had quietly covered up the area to the left and right of Qiu Taizong. Meanwhile, the five guards of the Bai family stood behind Qiu Taizong with steel sabers in their hands, eager to take the third line of defense.
The three constables who had come from the yamen to check on the scribe Qian Tianyu had finished their work. The battle had already been completed and was about to begin.
It was as if none of this existed for the golden chicken. He didn’t even want to turn his head. His bright eyes stared straight at Qiu Taizong.
“You can do it now.” The golden chicken said.
Up until now, Qiu Taizong had not seen the man’s face clearly. As for his hands, they had never been seen since the beginning. They were hidden in the long black satin robe that reached to the ground.
“Boss …” Before he made his move, he had a few words to take care of her. “Have mercy when you have to, Master Bai …”
“No need to say more.”
As soon as Gold Chicken said this, an invisible force rushed out from his body.
With a sudden flick of his body, he finally realized how powerful he was. In his life, he had been involved in a lot of cases and met a lot of evil fiends, but none of them could compare to this person in front of him. This made him feel a sense of fear from deep within his heart.
What was more sad was that he knew he was just a casual guest. At most, he was just a guest helping the Bai Clan. He didn’t expect that the other side would think he was him and chase after him to kill him. Due to his special status in the government, he had pulled his bow too far. If he tried to relax now, it would be too late for him to retreat.
The atmosphere was so eerie, so somber … It was terrifyingly heavy.
All he could hear was the sound of his own heart beating. His hand was tightly gripping the handle of his sabre.
This first cut was truly difficult.
Everyone’s eyes were on him. He had to take action because of the situation.
Wang Zhi Liang and Hou Tian were cut in half. The former was a pair of judge’s pen, the latter was a ten thousand character wager, while the latter was looking at the old golden chicken as if it was some treasure trove. However, they were secretly taking care of their brother, the old dragon head Qiu.
A gust of night wind blew, and the dead leaves in the yard whirled.
Qiu Taikou stopped abruptly and made a “Pounce of a Tiger” move, pouncing straight at the golden rooster.
To deal with such a terrifying enemy like the golden chicken, he did not dare to use any tricks. This strike was full of true skill. Under the blade of the saber, there was a fierce gust of wind that went straight for the top of the other party’s head.
If he did not succeed in this move, the next move, “Wind Banner”, would be of unpredictable power. As for the third move, “Raging Flames of the Twirls”, it was also the quintessence of the first move of Qiu Tai. This three slashes in a row had a name, “Life Stealing Three Sabers”. If the first move of Qiu Tai might be desirable, there was nothing else.
The golden chicken was too old to move its body under the shadow of the moon. Just as the blade almost touched its head, it twisted its head to the side.
He then turned around, and his long robe made a “Chop Chop!” sound. With a loud noise, a hurricane rose up and fell together, covering a distance of seven feet.
“Crash!” The steel ring on the blade let out a “Crash!” With an explosive sound, the second move, “Wind Banner”, came rolling up from the bottom. It went straight for the opponent’s chest amidst a large amount of blade-light.
It felt like he had been slashed, but it also felt like he had been stirred up by the blade wind of Qiu Taikou.
He made a big circle in the air, and the black clothed stranger’s body was almost connected to the other party’s blade.
Qiu Taikou pulled his sabre back and the man in black appeared in front of him with a gust of strong wind.
The force of the strike was irreparable. He couldn’t think of a way to use it, so he just couldn’t do it–He used all his strength in one move, slashing diagonally in the middle of it! “Crack!” With a sound, he created two shadows of the blade. The blade itself looked like three blades of light. With a whistling sound, they rushed towards the golden rooster.
At the same time, Wang Zhi Liang and Hou Tian also rushed out.
Wang Zhiliang’s dictum was like a cold star.
The waiting word was like a silver ray of light.
Wang Zhiliang went straight for the enemy’s eyes, the Heaven’s Will was at his throat, and with the saber of the head of the Qiu Taizong, the golden chicken was able to fend off three enemies in one fell swoop.
The postures of the three men were quick enough. Because they had gone through similar drills beforehand, the movements of one, two, three, three could be considered as forceful, and their coordination was flawless.
Unfortunately, their opponent, the Golden Chicken Grand Elder, was truly too unfathomable, and his skill was especially astonishing.
The three of them shared the same feelings.
One slash, two strokes, ten thousand character wrest, these three types of weapons looked like they were about to hit — in fact, they all ended up missing.
All of the witnesses present were perplexed, unable to figure out what was going on with their eyes.
It was not strange for a person to dodge a weapon. Three weapons at the same time would not be easy, especially when the person in front of him was dodging like this. It was a rarity that had never been seen before.
The golden chicken was as light as a paper figurine. All three types of weapons disappeared without a trace as it suddenly raised its body.
When the first slash of the saber failed, he subconsciously felt something was wrong. A light breeze blew in front of him and the man stood face to face until he pulled the blade back. Only then did he realize that the blade in his hand was too heavy for him to use his full strength; he couldn’t even hit it.
Prince Liang, Hou Qian and the two Hou Clan members stood blankly on both sides — their expressions were as wooden as wood. From their wide and absent-minded expressions, it was more than likely that someone had poked a acupoint, while Qiu Taikou’s blade was pressed flat against the palm of the golden chicken grandpa’s hand.
It was just flat on the palm of his hand.
