Returnee in Jianghu - C12
Yin Shi Shi was the forbidden one in Zhuang Jingming’s heart. She could not allow anyone to lay their hands on her. Obviously, Jiang Youyu had angered Zhuang Jingming’s taboo.
Even Zhuang Jingming himself hadn’t had any intimate contact with Yin Shishi, let alone drinking tea from a teacup that Yin Shishi had used like Jiang Youyu. From Zhuang Jingming’s perspective, Jiang Youyu was tarnishing the Miss Shishi in his heart. Therefore, the fish in the river must die.
“Qi Tong, didn’t you always want to return to the thirteenth mountain? I’ll give you a chance. ” Zhuang Jingming moved closer to Qi Tong with a cold glint in his eyes as he pointed at Jiang Youyu who was not far away.
Qi Tong glanced at Jiang Youyu, then nodded at Zhuang Jingming, whose face was filled with killing intent. He gripped the long saber in his hand, and slowly walked towards Jiang Youyu, who was watching the fight.
He couldn’t see anything special about Jiang You Yu, nor did he mention any of the martial arts aura.
Qi Tong was still two zhang away from Jiang Youyu before he made his move. The knife quickly appeared in front of Jiang Youyu’s face almost as soon as it was unsheathed. It was much faster than the saber-wielding people that Jiang Youyu had met at Dragon Roar Town. However, this speed was only in comparison.
When the scimitar left the scabbard, Jiang You Yu coincidentally took a step back. The blade edge grazed Jiang Youyu’s face as it descended. The energy from the blade edge was easily cut apart by Jiang Youyu.
“Then, do we have a grudge?” There was a trace of doubt on Jiang Youyu’s face. He did not recognize this Smiling Face middle-aged man who had suddenly attacked him without any warning. He thought to himself, ‘His looks can be considered as being worthy of the audience. At the very least, after so many years, even though no one has praised him as handsome, no one has ever called him ugly.
Then, it was likely that they had a grudge.
Qi Tong was stunned as he looked at Jiang Youyu. Not only did she avoid his saber blade, she even dispersed the saber energy that he had condensed with a single palm strike? No matter how he looked at it, this fish didn’t seem like an expert. On the side, Zhuang Jingming also looked at Jiang Youyu with a face full of suspicion. Qi Tong’s skills were at least within the top five of the thirteen mountains, and his Quick Saber was one of the few opponents of the thirteen mountains. However, Jiang Youyu was able to avoid this force gathering attack. It was obvious that he had made a mistake.
“Zhuang Tu, you and Qi Tong will work together.” Qi Tong slightly avoided Jiang You Yu and then glanced at Zhuang Jingming, a trace of inquiry in his eyes.
Since his opponent could dissolve his accumulated energy attack so easily, it meant that he was at least on the same level as the other martial artists. Qi Tong wasn’t confident that he could take down such an opponent alone.
Naturally, Zhuang Jingming would not cancel the killing intent in his heart because of Jiang Chen and Little Lu. He would let Zhuang Tu, who was standing by the side, join hands with Qi Tong.
Jiang Youyu looked at Zhuang Jingming, a trace of helplessness on his face. Was there really a need for the young master of the 13 mountains to behave like this? You just took a sip of tea from Yin Shi Shi’s cup? Jiang Youyu could not understand.
“Young Master Zhuang, is there a misunderstanding between us?” Since he couldn’t figure it out, Jiang Youyu asked Zhuang Jingming. He couldn’t believe that Zhuang Jingming was trying to kill him because he drank some tea from Miss Shishi’s teacup. There must be some other misunderstanding between the two of them that he didn’t know existed.
“Misunderstanding? Don’t you know what you did? You want to expose what you’ve done with just the word misunderstanding? “I tell you, it’s impossible.” Zhuang Jingming’s face was filled with such a ferocious look that no one knew what he had done.
However, Jiang Youyu was asking himself, he really did not know what the heavens could not tolerate that he had done.
“It can’t be that I drank some tea from Miss Shi Shi’s cup, right?” He really didn’t know what he had done to make Zhuang Jingming hate him so much, so he could only confirm it with what he had done.
When Zhuang Jingming heard Jiang You Yu mention this, he immediately transformed into a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His trembling finger was pointing at Jiang You Yu as he shouted at Qi Tong and Zhuang Tu, “What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and attack!”
Jiang Youyu’s heart was bitter. What kind of people were these? Wasn’t it just using a cup? It’s been explained, and you can’t get pregnant with a glass.
Seeing that Qi Tong and Zhuang Tu were attacking him from all sides, a look of helplessness appeared on Jiang Youyu’s face. Seeing that the two sabers were about to slash at him, Jiang Youyu stretched out his palm and shouted, “Wait a moment!”
Qi Tong and Zhuang Tu stopped the sword in their hands and looked at Jiang Youyu with a puzzled expression.
“Aren’t the two of you considering it. If you were to force me to take action, I’m afraid that the situation today will not be good.” There was a grave look on Jiang You Yu’s face, and his aura seemed to have become sharper at this moment.
Qi Tong and Zhuang Tu looked at each other, then turned their heads back to look at Zhuang Jingming, who was staring at them.
“Wait a moment.” Jiang Youyu quickly took a step back. Seeing the two sabers that were about to come at her again, she shouted out loudly once more.
“What now?” Qi Tong felt a bit stifled. When he saw that there was a fish in the river, he retracted his true qi once again.
“You really don’t need to force me. Once I draw my sword, the consequences will not be something you can bear.” Jiang Youyu looked at Qi Tong and reminded him once more with a solemn expression.
“You’re done?” Zhuang Tu took in a deep breath, trying his best to restrain the impatience on his face. The true energy on his long blade was gathering more and more intensely.
“Ahh, it seems like you want to fight me to the death. My sword hasn’t been stained with blood for a long time.” Jiang You Yu took off the sword hanging at his waist, and gently caressed the sheath with his hand.
Zhuang Tu and Han Li raised their eyebrows, their faces filled with black lines as they stared at the flowery sword in Jiang Youyu’s hand. Zhuang Tu was the first to strike.
“Die.” The long gathered saber Qi chopped down at Jiang You Yu. In the blink of an eye, it had already struck Jiang You Yu’s body.
The sword had been unsheathed, and an indescribable momentum abruptly gushed forth from Jiang Youyu’s body.
The sword aura seemed like it was free as it circulated around Jiang Youyu’s body. Even the surrounding air seemed to have been destroyed by the sword aura, making it difficult for the crowd to even breathe.
“I really gave you guys a chance.” After Jiang Youyu said this, his gaze seemed to have solidified as he glanced at the two of them. Immediately, a sharp pressure pressed down on the two of them. However, you guys obviously don’t value it. ”
The sudden turn of events at Jiang Youyu’s side caused the people in the field to not be in a hurry to react. Just a moment ago, it seemed that Jiang Youyu had been besieged by these two, but now, he had actually suppressed the two people from Qi Tong and Zhuang Tu, especially when Jiang Youyu had taken out the sword at his waist and had been mocked by the crowd.
This situation was truly out of everyone’s expectations.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Tu and Qi Tong, who had been suppressed by Jiang Youyu, now even had the thought of dying. Wasn’t this way of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? He must have been at the peak of the Xuan Artifact since he suppressed them with just his aura alone. He might have even reached a higher realm.
What was the use of being like this now? This kind of behavior had once caused the entire scene to become awkward.
It was awkward for Jiang Youyu. At this moment, the white-robed youth was engaged in an intense battle with the Lord of the Thirteen Mountain. Both of their methods were almost completely exhausted, yet they were unable to do anything to each other.
The white-robed youth evaded Zhuang Xianqi’s spear strike that had suddenly thrust out from his side. The sword in his hand froze, and in the blink of an eye, he had already unleashed nearly a hundred strikes at the incoming spear. After slashing out with the hundred swords, Zhuang Xianzi also used up all his energy. The hundred swords that he should have chopped out suddenly merged together and congealed into a bloody longsword. The blood-red sword suddenly flashed, and before Zhuang Xianwei could react, it had already stabbed into his right shoulder.
With the help of the strike from the sword, Zhuang Xiuzhao pulled away from the white-clothed youth. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as he thought to himself, “I’m in danger!” The blood sword was originally aimed at his heart. If he did not forcefully twist his body, he might have to die here today.
Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Xian activated his True Divine, shattering the blood sword on his right shoulder. With a fearful look on his face, he glanced at Si Xueyi, who was stepping on the river surface, and then looked at the shadow on the street before him.
“Foreign Dignitary Li, when are you going to make your move?” Zhuang Xianzi tried his best to soften his tone. After all, he no longer had the confidence to kill Si Xueyi alone.
“I even thought that you didn’t need me to do anything. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” From the shadows walked out a masked man wearing a grey robe. There was not a hint of apology in his voice. He walked up to Zhuang Xianwei and looked at Si Xueyi.
“I never expected that you would have actually managed to refine the Sword Sect’s Destiny Sword. No wonder you dare to challenge water by yourself.” The masked grey clothed person revealed Si Xue Yi’s background with a single sentence. His next words seemed to be filled with admiration towards Si Xue Yi.
Sixue Yi did not say anything. The sword in her hand was raised once again and the sword aura on the sword’s body expanded by another circle.
At a time when Si Xueyi’s form was not very good, Jiang Youyu’s form was also not very good.
Zhuang Jingming looked at Zhuang Huan, who was leading a group of men from the 13 mountains to surround Jiang You Yu. The way she looked at Jiang You Yu was as if she was looking at a dead man. Zhuang Huan was the strongest among the thirteen mountains, and was much stronger than the two from the Qi Tong and Zhuang Tu. If the three of them were to join hands, the kid in front of them would not be able to escape death.
Zhuang Huan walked to Zhuang Jingming’s side and said a few words to him before he frowned at Jiang Youyu.
“Half-step Earth Grade.” Zhuang Huan glanced at Jiang You Yu, her expression was not very good. Although this half-step Earth Grade was not a genuine Earth Grade master who had condensed his True Divine Spirit, his skill was half a level higher than the Xuan grade. This half a level had caused Zhuang Huan to lose her confidence.
However, the person in front of him had clearly already been offended by Thirteen Mountain. No matter what, he couldn’t just let this young man leave.
Half a step away from the real Earth grade treasure was only half a step. If one day they were to break through, the first to turn around would be the 13 mountains. The thirteen mountains were already exhausted from Sixue Yi’s single Earth rank item. If there was one more, Zhuang Huan estimated that the thirteen mountains would not be far from being destroyed.
After thinking about the enemies he had provoked for the past few years, they were still able to suppress him, but once the 13 mountains were destroyed, his fate could be imagined.
Thus, Zhuang Huan had acted.
Zhuang Huan’s aura merged with that of Zhuang Tu and Qi Tong, instantly breaking through the suppression of Jiang Youyu’s Qi, and they stood opposite each other, facing off against each other.
Jiang Youyu stared at the familiar ink robe on Zhuang Huan’s body. Then, he couldn’t help but recall the dust he had been left with on the way to the water. The anger in his heart instantly increased.
This confused Zhuang Huan. However, she was used to killing people. The sabre in her hand seemed to be longer than Zhuang Qitong’s, as she slowly pointed it at Jiang Youyu.
“Hmph, you think highly of me, this young master, and my three Xuan Artifacts, but” Jiang Youyu swept a cold glance at Zhuang Huan and his two brothers, and then glanced at the nearby Zhuang Jingming, who had a ferocious look on his face, “However, I’m afraid three Xuan Artifacts is not enough.”
Jiang Youyu’s aura shook. The aura that was originally half a step away from Earth grade, unexpectedly increased yet again. It actually directly broke through the Profound Grade barrier. Streams of azure and violet True Divine light condensed on Jiang Youyu’s body. The blazing True Divine Sword condensed into a solid substance, transforming into a streak of azure and violet Sword Aura swimming three feet above Jiang Youyu’s head.
It was actually an Earth grade treasure.
The entire crowd was stunned. Since when was this Earth rank product so worthless? Even in the martial arts world, a Earth rank product that was considered senior suddenly had three more than it appeared in front of the water?
Zhuang Huan and the other two were stupefied. The aura exuded by Jiang Youyu was even more powerful than that of the Thirteen Mountain Lords. Even the aura of the Earth rank expert called Guest Warrior Li paled in comparison to that of the young man in front of him. To think that such an Earth rank expert would be targeted by the three of them with a saber. Zhuang Huan and the others looked at each other and then stood there dumbfounded.
The person who was the most stupefied was Zhuang Jingming. He never thought that the person who drank tea from Shishi’s teacup was actually an expert who looked even stronger than his father. This caused Zhuang Jingming to feel despair.
Even though Zhuang Jingming was a popinjay, it didn’t mean that he was an idiot. He could imagine what would happen to the 13 mountains when he faced two Earth rank masters.
Yin Shishi, who was standing behind Zhuang Jingming, frowned as she looked at Jiang Youyu, a trace of indescribable emotion flashing through her eyes.
