Chapter 47: The Shadowless Sword
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the cool breeze is slow.
The Tang family's mansion is in a quiet courtyard.
A slender young man was wielding the long sword in his hand in the courtyard, his body was sharp and slow, the steps under his feet were unpredictable, and the long sword slashed through the cold rays, which were even more cold in the reflection of the moonlight.
The young man's face was fair, and his face was already slightly sweaty at this moment, and after playing a few sword skills again, he put away his sword and breathed, and after a little breathing, he walked to a stone table in the courtyard, lifted the white jade teapot, and poured a fragrant tea for himself.
Holding the teacup in his hand, the corner of the young man's mouth hooked up a lonely smile.
"With my mid-day cultivation, plus the three-foot Qingfeng in my hand, it shouldn't be a problem to win a few games in this competition!"
"Hehe, this time it's really a win-win situation, not only can I get the Tang family's honorarium, but I may also be valued by the envoy of the sect, I, Zhang Gongyu, will not fly, and I will soar into the sky!"
The young man's eyes shone brightly, and the smile on his face became even more proud.
"Hehe, soaring into the sky, I'm not afraid of falling to your death!"
At this moment, a disdainful sneer suddenly sounded in the small courtyard.
"Who!"
The white-faced young man's sword eyebrows condensed slightly, and his gaze suddenly looked towards a corner.
In the darkness of the corner, a figure was slowly walking out.
This person was dressed in black, with a tall figure, a black scarf covering his face, his arms crossed in front of his chest, a long knife obliquely inserted in his arms, and his steps were calm towards the white-faced youth.
"A bold thief, he dares to trespass on the Tang family's mansion!" the white-faced young man shouted coldly.
The black-clothed man burst out of his mouth with a chuckle, stopped, stared at the white-faced young man like an eagle, and said playfully: "You can scream like a girl, shout loudly for help, and attract the Tang family's guards, maybe I will escape!"
"Hmph!" The white-faced young man snorted coldly, tightened the long sword in his hand, and said disdainfully: "No matter who you are, no matter what you want to do with me, if you can't even clean up a thief, I, Zhang Gongyu, will also call me a young man!"
"Young Junjie? hehe...... I've finally found a handsome feeling, can you not make me laugh? I'll be embarrassed in that way!"
The corners of the white-faced young man's mouth raised slightly, brought the teacup in his hand to his mouth, drank it slowly, and said in a cold voice without looking at the man in black:
"Hehe, whether you are a thief or a killer trying to kill you, you shouldn't find me, because here I am, you have only one way to die!"
The man in black smiled, "There is indeed a dead end, but I prepared it for you, give up this competition, you can live, or die!"
Chu Yun clasped his arms over his chest, secretly enjoying the pleasure of dressing up, and he was also learning the way of pretending to be a white-faced youth.
After hearing Chu Yun's words with a hint of murderous intent, the white-faced young man slowly raised his head, stared at the night sky, and said leisurely: "The moonlight tonight is very beautiful, but unfortunately, the next moment, you won't be able to enjoy such a beautiful scenery!"
Slowly turned his head, looked at Chu Yun again, a solitary smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly:
"Do you know why I can become a young man? Because I was only twenty years old and cultivated to the middle of the day after tomorrow? No, but because I am famous for being fast, I have a sword skill, called the Shadowless Sword, and when I finish saying this, your head will fall to the ground......"
The white-faced young man spit lightly and slowly, while speaking, the long sword in his hand was already out of the sheath, the sword body shook, the cold light suddenly appeared, his body was like a swift wind, and he had flashed towards Chu Yun, and the confident sneer that appeared on his face flashed under the reflection of the moonlight.
But the next moment, there was a sonorous sound of cold soldiers fighting in the air, and there was a sudden silence.
Chu Yun grinned, his long knife had already reached the throat of the white-faced youth, the tip of the knife pierced the skin, and a trace of bright red blood flowed down the neck of the white-faced young man into the placket on his chest.
And the white-faced youth's long sword didn't know where it flew, and it really disappeared without a trace.
"Your words have been finished, I am still alive, and you are going to die!" Chu Yun said with a sneer.
"That...... Is it too late for me to cry for help?"
"You can try it!"
Chu Yun's knife moved forward again.
"Don't, don't...... The young man's skills are really extraordinary, but he has only seen it in his life, and I don't know what the name of the young man is!"
The white-faced young man didn't dare to make a move, he was obviously very angry in his heart, but he still had a bright smile on his face, because he had no doubt that even if he didn't look right, the man in black in front of him would stab him in the throat.
"Want to know who I am?"
Chu Yun raised his other hand, directly took off the black scarf on his face, and said casually: "Na, I'm just a mountain boy, let the young man be wronged!"
"You...... It's you!"
The white-faced young man recognized Chu Yun at a glance, and he had been thinking about the trouble he would find Chu Yun one day, and let out a bad breath of being scolded by Chu Yun that night.
"I am not satisfied with you for saying that the first time I saw the young man that night, I already knew that the young master was absolutely extraordinary, and my guess was indeed right!" said the white-faced young man sincerely.
Chu Yun smiled secretly in his heart, the white-faced young man in front of him seemed to be extremely good at pretending to be a master.
"Do you still participate in this competition?" asked Chu Yun.
"What kind of martial arts competition, I don't know what kind of martial arts competition it is!" the white-faced young man looked puzzled.
"Don't you want to soar into the sky?"
"What do you fly, I don't have a pair of wings!"
"Good!"
Chu Yun nodded lightly, but the long knife in his hand was not withdrawn, his eyes were like torches staring at the white-faced youth, and he said coldly, "Do you know my cultivation?"
"It was too fast just now, I didn't sense it!"
Chu Yun sneered, "I'll let you feel it now!"
As the words fell, Chu Yun's gaze suddenly became cold, his body shook slightly, and a majestic aura came out of his body, his gaze was as fierce as a blade, and there was a thick evil aura, and there was even a faint smell of blood in the air.
The white-faced young man was really shocked this time, his pupils contracted suddenly, his legs couldn't help but tremble, and he felt as if he was in an ice cellar, and his body was cold.
He didn't feel Chu Yun's cultivation aura, but was tightly surrounded by a cold killing intent, and the young man in front of him was like a killing god who had come out of hell, allowing him to see the fear of death with his own eyes.
"How many people did this young man kill!"
Beads of sweat the size of beans on the forehead of the white-faced young man kept rolling down, shining with a crystal luster under the reflection of the moonlight.
Chu Yun quickly retracted his breath, and said in a cold voice, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood...... Understand ......" The white-faced young man's lips began to whiten slightly.
Of course he understood what Chu Yun meant, because he was afraid that he would perfunctory him now, and then he would have another set.
To be honest, the white-faced young man really had this idea just now, but now he didn't dare to be perfunctory in the slightest, he was really scared by Chu Yun.
"Very good, this is five hundred taels of gold, you can take it!"
Chu Yun took out a golden ticket from his arms, stretched out a hand, and stuffed it into the placket of the white-faced young man's clothes.
"Good...... Good...... I'll take it!"
The white-faced young man didn't dare to refuse, or even to be as flamboyant as he had just been.
"Listen up!"
Chu Yun spoke again: "Three days later, the Tang family will finally determine the candidates to participate in the competition, and there should be a competition between the two of us at that time, I hope you will do what I want......"
"Okay, I understand, I know what to do!"
Chu Yun smiled, stopped speaking, put away the long knife in his hand, and left silently.
It's still quite exciting to be rescued after pretending!
