Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

Chapter 167 Clearing Suspicion

Chapter 167 Clearing Suspicion

Gongsun Lan felt an unprecedented fear; she couldn't believe that the sword of the person before her was far beyond her reach.

As the ginkgo leaves fell, the other members of the Red Shoes organization also saw what had happened. They were shocked. If Jiang Fengyue's sword had advanced any further, Gongsun Lan would have perished.

Jiang Fengyue's sword did not advance any further, but instead withdrew its attack. The sword's momentum vanished in an instant, as if the sword had never existed.

A true master swordsman is not skilled in killing, but rather in controlling his swordplay with ease, killing when he wants and stopping when he wants.

Jiang Fengyue has clearly reached this level, and Ximen Chuixue may be able to reach this level in the future, but not now, as Ximen Chuixue is currently troubled by love.

Just as Gongsun Lan was about to put down her short sword and admit defeat, Jiang Fengyue moved again, her figure rising into the air and leaping onto the roof of the opposite house.

Seeing such lightness skill, Gongsun Lan chuckled to herself. She had originally planned to compete in lightness skill in the third round, but now not only was she going to lose the second round, it seemed she had no chance of winning the third round either.

Second Aunt shouted, "Is he trying to escape?"

The others couldn't understand why Jiang Fengyue, who clearly had the upper hand, was now trying to escape.

Only Gongsun Lan knew Jiang Fengyue's intention. She raised her hands again, which were about to put down the sword, because she knew that Jiang Fengyue was testing the sword.

Jiang Fengyue's men had already leaped onto the rooftop, but he hadn't lowered his sword.

Jiang Fengyue had already flown out. In Gongsun Lan's eyes, Jiang Fengyue had become one with the sword, and the sword light flashed, dazzling and captivating.

Jiang Fengyue's sword flashed like a flying goose, stabbing towards Gongsun Lan. Gongsun Lan raised her sword to block, like a shooting star, her colorful ribbons fluttering like colorful clouds.

The sound of the two swords clashing was like the roar of a dragon.

The swords flashed for only a moment before separating, but the colorful ribbons hanging on Gongsun Lan's body snapped in two.

Jiang Fengyue's sword intent and sword momentum completely disappeared, as if this sword really came from outside the sky, leaving no trace of its existence.

Jiang Fengyue moved again; this time it was his final strike, a strike that belonged only to him.

fast!

quickly!

Extremely fast!

Before Gongsun Lan could even see Jiang Fengyue's sword move, the sword light flashed before her eyes. If she had a chance to defend against the first two sword strikes, she didn't even have time to escape with this one.

Jiang Fengyue's sword tip grazed Gongsun Lan's eye, barely an inch away. After Gongsun Lan was briefly blinded, Jiang Fengyue was now without a sword.

The sword has been returned to the nun in blue.

If you look closely, you can see that Jiang Fengyue only has one hair in her hand, a very long, jet-black hair.

Gongsun Lan knew that it was her own hair. She couldn't understand why Jiang Fengyue's sword didn't just take her life, but only cut off a single hair.

Jiang Fengyue smiled slightly and said, "Can you come with me now?"

Gongsun Lan remained silent for a long while, then sighed, nodded, and followed Jiang Fengyue without saying a word.

Jiang Qingxia said, moved, "Elder sister—"

Just then, another voice came from the darkness, a clear female voice, saying, "It's a pity that my eldest sister is not the Embroidered Thief. If Young Master Jiang wants to take her away, he will have taken the wrong person."

Jiang Fengyue smiled slightly upon hearing the voice.

Gongsun Lan and the other members of the Red Shoes organization heard the familiar voice and looked in the direction from which it came.

Two people, a man and a woman, emerged from behind the ginkgo tree.

The man is Lu Xiaofeng, and the woman is Xue Bing.

Xue Bing seemed to have recovered from her previous trauma, with a lively smile on her face, clearly showing that she had regained her spirits.

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Old Lu, Miss Xue, you've already arrived?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "We arrived here before your sword fight."

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "So you just watched me compete in swordsmanship with this legendary Gongsun Da Niang?"

""

Lu Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said, "I know you can't possibly lose. You've never lost before. I'm only worried about one thing now."

Jiang Fengyue asked, "What are you worried about?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and said, "I'm worried that if Ximen Chuixue sees you using a sword, he will eventually die by your sword."

Jiang Fengyue looked at the listless Gongsun Lan and laughed, "That's why I rarely use a sword. It's because most people who use swords have an invincible mentality. They want to test their swordsmanship against anyone they see."

Gongsun Lan couldn't help but ask, "What kind of swordsmanship are you using?"

Gongsun Lan had never seen any of the three sword techniques Jiang Fengyue used before.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "Perhaps I can answer that."

Gongsun Lan glanced at Jiang Fengyue, then at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng continued, "The first sword technique is Ximen Chuixue's sword technique. It is simple and efficient, and can kill with a single strike."

Upon hearing the name Ximen Chuixue, Gongsun Lan couldn't help but gasp.

Lu Xiaofeng continued, "The second sword technique is the sword technique of Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City. That day at the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, Young Master Jiang received Ye Gucheng's move 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens,' and I never expected that he would be able to use it today."

Everyone present was moved. They had heard these two names mentioned many times before. Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were definitely two of the best swordsmen in the martial arts world. But could Jiang Fengyue be better than them?

Lu Xiaofeng added, "However, if Ye Gucheng were here, he might not be able to break through Gongsun Da Niang's sword technique."

Jiang Fengyue felt a sense of helplessness. Lu Xiaofeng was clearly praising Gongsun Lan and Jiang Fengyue, using Ye Gucheng as a stepping stone.

He knew very well that Gongsun Da Niang would never be a match for Ye Gucheng.

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's affirmation of her swordsmanship, Gongsun Lan regained some of her confidence.

She sighed deeply and asked, "What about the third sword?"

What made her feel most desperate was Jiang Fengyue's third sword strike, the sense of helplessness with nowhere to escape, and the despair of the sword tip slicing through her eyes.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "That third sword technique is one that I have never seen before. I'm afraid it was created by Young Master Jiang himself."

Jiang Fengyue nodded; there was nothing wrong with admitting it.

Everyone was incredibly shocked to hear that Jiang Fengyue, at such a young age, could create an invincible sword technique.

Gongsun Lan gave a bitter smile and said, "In that case, I didn't lose unjustly."

Jiang Fengyue said, "So you still have to come with us."

Xue Bing then stepped forward and said, "But my eldest sister is not the Embroidery Thief, and she wasn't the one who injured me that day."

Jiang Fengyue laughed and said, "I never said that Granny Gongsun was the Embroidery Thief."

Gongsun Lan was taken aback and said, "Then why are you still—"
