My Sword Has a Way

Chapter 43: Northern Region Wu Wei Capital

At this time, on the slope a dozen feet away, there were several figures fighting with each other. Among them, a girl in red was particularly eye-catching. She was the woman named Jiang Ying. The other people were also familiar to the young man. They were the young swordsmen he met on the rope bridge.

At this time, the surroundings were filled with sword energy and spiritual power was surging. The girl in red stood leaning on her sword, overwhelming the entire place.

The young swordsman who was breathing heavily had traces of blood on his lips, and his eyes were staring at the girl in red with cold eyes.

"I didn't expect to meet a wonderful woman like you in this deserted Jianya!" The young man curled his lips with resentment in his eyes.

The red-dressed girl had a blank expression on her face, and said sarcastically, "No means no! Your mouth is better than your swordsmanship."

The young man's face flushed, his eyes darkened: "You are looking for death!"

After he finished speaking, a green robe suddenly swung open, and a long sword carrying the surrounding sword energy burst out like a meteor.

The red-clothed girl in the distance seemed to be very unimpressed. She just moved her fingers, and several sword shadows whistled away. A sound of golden swords rang out, and suddenly the entire slope was centered on the two of them. The sword energy within hundreds of meters around exploded, and branches and dead debris flew everywhere in the field, and dust rose up.

Xu Zhian, who was hiding behind the bluestone, was also forced to retreat again and again by the shock of the sword energy.

"Senior Brother Wu!"

A young woman who had fallen to the ground, regardless of her own injuries, quickly helped up the young swordsman who was half-kneeling on the ground.

"Cough cough!"

The young swordsman coughed up blood from his throat, looked at his fellow disciples lying on the ground, and angrily cursed, "They are all trash!"

In response to the young man surnamed Wu's curse, everyone looked innocent and kept lowering their heads, not daring to look directly at the young swordsman.

On the other hand, the girl in red not far away had a normal expression but a look of disdain. Even the flying sword beside her was humming, as if mocking the people in front of her for overestimating their own abilities.

The young man patted his robe and said to the girl, "I am a fourth-level cultivator, so it is not a loss for me to lose to you. I am from Tianjian Mountain in the Northern Territory. Please forgive me if my junior sister offended me just now."

The girl in red frowned and said, "Hypocrisy!"

The young swordsman sneered: "Miss, do you think we are afraid of you? Our master is the great sword master Li Jingcheng!"

The red-dressed girl seemed not to have heard the threat from the young swordsman, and said calmly, "I said I'll take his arms one by one."

As soon as she finished speaking, the flying sword beside the girl flew away quickly. The four sword cultivators who were standing nearby immediately felt as if they were facing a great enemy. They took out their swords and looked solemn. However, even though they were extremely careful, they were all sent flying backwards and fell to the ground in a very miserable state under the slashing blow of the girl's flying sword.

This is a pure swordsman who has reached the peak of the fifth realm. How could ordinary swordsmen like them be a match for the girl's innate flying sword?

From the moment the flying sword flew out to the moment it returned to the girl, this world was only a moment's breath.

As a miserable wailing sound resounded throughout the venue, a young woman among the four people who had just fallen to the ground was seen trembling while covering her broken arm, her robe stained red with blood, and tears streaming down her face.

The young man surnamed Wu hurried to the woman and saw half of her arm falling to the ground. His face was extremely ugly. He quickly fed her an unknown pill and said to the three young men beside him: "Keep an eye on Junior Sister Li!"

The young man turned and looked at the girl in red in the distance, with a sneer on his face: "I wonder if you dare to leave your name!"

The girl glanced at the swordsman surnamed Wu and said expressionlessly, "Jiang Ying!"

"Very good! I, Wu Wei, have noted it all down!"

After the young man finished speaking, he turned and looked at everyone: "Go back to the cave first!"

When everyone disappeared on the slope of Jianya, the girl in red put away her flying sword and said calmly, "Come out!"

Xu Zhian frowned and slowly walked out from behind the bluestone.

Xu Zhian looked at the girl in front of him, her eyes were as clear as water and she was as graceful as a startled swan. For a moment he didn't know how to start talking.

Finally, the girl broke the silence and said, "Your wine is delicious!"

The young man nodded: "As long as the girl likes it."

The girl walked up to the boy and asked, "Your name is Xu..."

The young man quickly replied: "My name is Xu Zhian, Xu means gentle breeze."

The girl's face was calm: "I know, let me ask you, do you still have that wine?"

Xu Zhian looked embarrassed: "A little, but not much."

The girl nodded: "So are we friends?"

The boy was confused and didn't know how to answer. If he answered yes, this would only be the second time they met. If he answered no, what if the girl got angry and beat him up again, and he would be powerless to resist.

Seeing the hesitation on the boy's face, Jiang Ying continued, "The weather is cold, and I want to warm myself up with some wine. If you can give me another jar of the good wine you had yesterday, I will tell you a secret about Jianya that will be very helpful to your practice."

Xu Zhian touched the mountain ghost money at his neck, and instantly a jar of Spring Thunder appeared in his hand. He asked the girl in red, "Tell me the secret of Jianya first, otherwise this wine will soon turn into water."

The girl looked at the wine jar in Xu Zhian's hand and frowned slightly: "I see that you are also a pure sword cultivator, and the sword energy of this sword cliff is a natural treasure for pure sword cultivators. If you don't cultivate sword energy yourself, you can't absorb it directly, otherwise you will be eaten to death, because the sword energy in your body cannot be refined."

Xu Zhian nodded without saying anything, only to hear the girl continue: "But you can't cultivate your spiritual power here, otherwise you will be filled with sword energy and go astray. So for you, you shouldn't come to Sword Cliff now. Unless you can turn your body into a sword, you can leave Sword Cliff now."

Xu Zhian looked calm after hearing this. Seeing this, the girl was quite puzzled and asked, "Don't you have any reaction at all?"

The young man shook his head, handed the wine jar in his hand to the girl in red and said, "I know all this."

The girl was a little surprised after hearing this: "Why did you give me the wine if you knew all this?"

Xu Zhian nodded and smiled, "I'm very happy that you can tell me this, because you could have made up a story to deceive me, or just snatched it from me, but you didn't."

The girl took the wine jar and curled her lips and said, "I, Jiang Ying, can't do such a thing. Do you know how many people in my hometown want to treat me to a drink?"

Xu Zhian shook his head awkwardly. The girl frowned and said softly, "I don't know either. Anyway, it's a lot. But I seldom drink because my father won't let me. Since I got out, I suddenly feel that wine is really good for some reason."

Xu Zhian nodded. The girl beside him looked at the wine jar in his hand and said hesitantly, "Since you gave me the wine jar, I won't let you suffer in vain. Relax your mind first."

Although Xu Zhian was confused, he gradually relaxed his mind. If the girl really wanted to harm him, it would be difficult for him to survive even if he was careful. So he simply chose to believe the girl.

The girl put her hand on Xu Zhian's shoulder, and a pure sword energy quickly spread around her body, and immediately the two of them quickly headed for the top of the cliff.

When the young man landed on the ground, he felt his whole body trembling, because the sword cliff in front of him completely conquered his eyes and he could not come back to his senses for a long time.
