In Xiao Yunye's life, this is the second time he has come to Dongguo.

The first time was 50 years ago.

....

Xiao Yunye didn't think it was ridiculous about Ying Wulan's persistence in winning, because he was the same when he was young.

When he first came to Dongguo, he was still an arrogant young man, because he had the blood of the Xiao family in his body, and he was gifted enough to master the entire Qingyun swordsmanship when he was an adult.

The Xiao family has inherited an irresistible family motto for generations, and whenever the eldest son grows up, he must go to the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family in the eastern country to perform the first and last ancestor worship in his life.

This rule was established by Xiao Li, the ancestor of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family does not need descendants to worship every year, once in a lifetime, which is enough.

Because this only worship represents the beginning of the journey, from this day on, the eldest son of the Xiao family will embark on a journey with Hina to find the adult.

The journey continues to the end of life, where the bones are buried by the next generation of adults.

In other words, the Xiao family will only return to the ancestral grave twice in their lives, once as an adult and once as an adult.

And, of course, there is the only third time in the generation.

If the Xiao family returns to the ancestral grave before they die, it means that his generation has finally fulfilled the agreement that has been passed down for hundreds of years and helped Hina find the adult.

....

Fifty years ago, Xiao Yunye broke this rule for the first time.

When he was an adult at the age of 18, he and Hina buried their deceased father in the Xiao family tombstone, but he did not immediately embark on this trip to find someone.

Standing in front of his ancestor's tombstone, he borrowed 10 years from Sheena because he wanted to become the first sword master in the Yan Kingdom.

Sheena agreed.

Xiao Yunye also did it.

Ten years later, he met Hina again at the tombstone in that cherry blossom forest.

At that time, he had already achieved fame, and after him, no one dared to call him the first in the world.

....

....

Sakurasamurai Mansion.

Next to the collapsed banquet hall was a corpse that had been cut in two.

The guests who were lucky enough to escape had already fled the mansion, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air, and the whole courtyard was dead silent.

This move was too shocking, and all the samurai in the family had been killed in seconds.

As the head of the family, Sakura Takeyama took two steps back unconsciously, staring at Xiao Yunye in horror.

However, this is Dongzhou Mansion, and if there is such a loud noise, the soldiers from the periphery will definitely come one after another.

However, Sakura Takeyama didn't dare to move at all, let alone turn around and slip away, because he had no doubt that the sword in Xiao Yunye's hand would run faster than him.

....

In the moonlight, the old man's voice came slowly.

"Xiao had no intention of killing, but the world is impermanent, since he decided to kill others, it proves that he is ready to die."

"Hahaha."

After a brief moment of surprise, the corners of Sakura Wulan's mouth, who was standing in the distance, suddenly rose up, and the smile she showed was so excited that it was a little distorted.

"Okay, hahaha, good, worthy of being the first sword saint of the Yan Kingdom, worthy of being the peak of sword skills, hahahaha!"

Xiao Yunye's Qingyun Sword had already been sheathed, and he turned sideways to look at Ying Wulan in the distance again.

"Do you want to continue?"

Sakura Wulan clenched the Sakura knife in her hand without a trace of fear.

"Of course, the people who interfered with us are gone, and the real showdown has only just begun."

"Okay."

With that, Xiao Yunye put his hand on the hilt of the sword behind his back again.

"Huh!"

The quaint Qingyun sword is re-unsheathed.

Without too much communication, a fine light flashed in the eyes of Ying Wulan in the distance, and in the next second, the whole person had turned into an afterimage, and the lightning-fast body came to Xiao Yunye in an instant.

.....

This time, Xiao Yunye no longer showed mercy to his subordinates, people like Ying Wulan were not afraid, or rather, what he longed for was the person he feared.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The cherry blossom knife is so fast that ordinary people can't catch it, and a dodge has already been slashed out dozens of times.

However, these dozens of knives actually missed, and Xiao Yunye's seemingly unpretentious body dodged all the blades.

"Bang!"

The Qingyun Sword swept out, and the surging sword qi instantly stirred up the stone bricks in the courtyard, and in the face of the overwhelming rubble, Ying Wulan did not dodge.

The blades dazzled, and all the stones were turned into dust by him in an instant.

Clearing the barrier between the two, Sakura Takeran stood firm after landing on the ground, his upper body was lightly prostrate, and at the same time, Sakura Takeshi was back to the side, making a posture of drawing his sword.

This is a stunt that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Sakura samurai family, the sword drawing technique.

Hollow without self, human knife unity, this kind of nirvana knife method that removes distracting thoughts and has been carved for decades can increase the lethality to the limit.

....

Seeing this starting gesture made by Ying Wulan, Xiao Yunye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he changed the Qingyun Sword from his left hand to his right hand.

Decades ago, Sakuratake Toyarou also used this sword technique to fight him, and although he won in the end, he didn't win that battle easily.

Dealing with the stunt of the Sakura Martial Artist, Xiao Yunye's old face was engrossed, and his attention was raised to the extreme.

Obviously, he didn't plan to dodge, but to fight head-on with Sakura Takeran's ultimate sword drawing technique!

- Dead Silence -

The two were separated by about ten meters, and the air seemed to freeze.

This silence lasted for at least 2 minutes, during which Ying Wulan's eagle-like gaze never left Xiao Yunye's position.

Every breath, every pupil micro-reaction, was all in his calculations.

"Whew!"

As Sakura Wulan exhaled, the gravel under his feet began to tremble slightly, and an incomparable sense of oppression spread.

Ying Wulan has already locked Xiao Yunye steadily, and this knife will not fail no matter what.

However, just when this sword drawing technique was brewing to the critical point, Xiao Yunye on the opposite side closed his eyes.

It was also this move that made Ying Wulan's pupils shrink instantly, he didn't know what Xiao Yunye's intentions were, but just based on his performance, he felt that he was underestimated.

"Bang!"

The strong air flow exploded on the spot, and the surrounding sand and gravel were all blown away.

The Sakura Takeran who rushed forward seemed to be a demon from hell, and the power of this sword drawing technique was far greater than that of all the strong men of the Sakura Martial Arts family in the past dynasties!

The two figures, only ten meters apart, instantly coincided, and there was no way to hide from this distance.

.....

"Poof!"

Hot blood splattered out and splashed on Xiao Yeyun's face, and his neck was grazed with a shallow wound by the cherry blossom knife.

However, Sakura Wulan, who was close to him, the momentum that had just been brewing completely disappeared.

Xiao Yunye tilted his head to the side, his body did not move, but he avoided the vital point, and the quaint Qingyun Sword in his hand had already penetrated Ying Wulan's shoulder.

The blood on his face was Sakura Takeran's.

.....

The entire courtyard returned to dead silence.

Xiao Yunye held the Qingyun Sword, and the blade of the sword was deeply inserted into Ying Wulan's right shoulder.

With his strength, this sword had made Sakura Takeran's entire right arm unable to lift it anymore.

"Sakura Takeran, you lost."
