Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fang Shijie was stunned. He recognized that this move was the Heavenly South s Seven Mysteries Sect s White Snake Sweeping Its Tail.

In a situation where he had misjudged his opponent’s move, even though Fang Shijie’s internal energy was far superior to this man’s, he still appeared to be in a hurry. He forcefully retracted his move and jumped into the air to dodge the sweeping kick. He used the cane in his right hand to block the sword tip, and with his left hand, he planned to strike the blade and directly thrust the slender sword blade backward toward Ye Jingtang’s spine.

However, the next moment, Fang Shijie was shocked to discover that the black-clothed man in front of him didn’t exert any strength when the three-foot-long sword in his hand touched the cane. Then he turned his wrist and circled the long sword behind him at an astonishing speed. Like a peacock spreading its tail, he swept the slender blade forward. He was using the Pacifying Heaven Cult’s Screen-Opening Sword.

Ding!

There was a crisp sound of metal colliding.

Fang Shijie’s eyes were surprised, but this was all.

Although it had only been three breaths since he met this person, Fang Shijie s experience in the Jianghu still allowed him to figure out this person’s path. He knew that the next strike would definitely be the Thousand Crane Villa s Picking Flowers in the Waves and stab straight at his throat.

After all, from their current postures and positions, this sword move was the most suitable. As for this thief’s sect and master, they were not important at all because he was clearly unskilled. He had secretly learned the outer sect moves of the various sects and used whatever was useful. There was no methodology to speak of.

For this reason. Fang Shijie reacted very quickly. This time, he responded according to this sword bastard’s train of thought. His right hand raised his cane while his left hand took out a thin sword from inside the cane and stabbed forward to prevent the Dragon Qi Sword’s Picking Flowers in the Waves.

Fang Shijie’s martial arts attainments were authentic. He had indeed calculated Ye Jingtang’s sword move correctly.

Unfortunately, the only sword techniques Ye Jingtang knew were the Dragon Qi Sword and Ning’er’s Screen-Opening Sword. The rest were rhe miscellaneous outer sect sword moves that Dumdum had sent over these few days.

Sun Wuji was in the capital. Ye Jingtang had just learned rhe Dragon Qi Sword from him. If he used it now, he might expose himself. For this reason, he gave up using the most suitable move and chose to use the Immortal Guidance of the Wu Mountains Sect. He leaned down and stabbed with one hand.

Swoosh!

As a result, when this move appeared, the two top martial artists with extremely high attainments were stunned!

Fang Shijie relied on his astonishing experience and swordsmanship attainments to instantly figure out Ye Jingtang’s next sword move. He preemptively chose Stab on the Rack’.

But due to some reasons, Ye Jingtang had to give up on the reasonable move and choose the awkward sword move of leaning down and stabbing.

Thus, the weapons of both sides didn’t touch at all. Not only did Fang Shijie not defend against anything, bur he even placed his cane and sword above.

As for Ye Jingtang, he turned around and was shocked to discover that the goateed old man, who had just displayed extraordinary swordsmanship attainments, had actually opened his legs in the air and used his crotch to receive the sword!!

?!

When Ye Jingtang saw the opponent’s posture, he could tell that this old man was definitely an old sword Grandmaster. With just a few moves, he had accurately predicted the sword moves Ye Jingtang should use next. This experience and reaction could be said to have reached the peak. The only flaw was that he was unlucky and that he had reacted too quickly.

Above Ye Jingtang, Fang Shijie had shock and surprise in his eyes. He probably meant: Are you fighting blindly? How can you use a sword like this?

But it was too late to think about this now. When Fang Shiji saw that he was about to be stabbed in his crotch, his speed instantly increased by a lot. He kicked the wall on the side with his left foot with all his might, causing his body to move horizontally in the air and crash into the wall on the right.

Boom!

Ye Jingtang’s sword missed, and he could tell that the goateed old man was hiding his strength. Moreover, there was something wrong with the explosive power of his muscles. He didn’t look like a swordsman who walked the agile and elegant path at all.

Because they had already caused a commotion, Ye Jingtang couldn’t stay for long. After noting this down, he sheathed the sword and jumped up, flying over the wall. With a few jumps, he disappeared into the buildings.

Crash!

The two sides had exchanged four to five moves in just a few breaths. The servants in the carriage parking space were woken up by the sudden commotion and got up to check.

Fang Shijie smashed through the wall and landed in a courtyard. He gently flipped his wrist and sheathed his sword, his eyes filled with anger.

However, after confirming that it was a blind thief, Fang Shijie didn’t chase after him anymore. He flicked his sleeve and returned to the second floor.

In the room, the three of them were looking out the window.

When Fang Shijie returned, Zhongsun Yan stroked his beard and said with a strange gaze, “Killing an old master with random punches is indeed not a joke. Old Fang, your swordsmanship is a pleasure to watch, but unfortunately, you encountered a dabbler. As long as this person’s brain was a little normal, he wouldn’t have been able to walk out of the alley today.”

Teng Tianyou pondered for a moment and evaluated, “It might not be random. This person’s swordsmanship is average, and what he has learned is indeed mixed, but he linked the various moves smoothly. He changed his moves halfway through the fight. It’s possible that he saw through Old Fang’s moves and deliberately used these moves to counterattack…”

Dongfang Shuoyue thought for a moment. “This person uses mixed sword moves and makes unconventional moves every time. It’s indeed possible, but the possibility isn’t high. I think he didn’t use ‘Picking Flowers in the Waves’ because he hasn’t learned it. The Thousand Crane Villa is famous for its chivalry. Whether they’re good or evil, most people in Jianghu will give the Thousand Crane Villa face. Even bandits won’t rob them on the road. It’s not unreasonable for a thief in Jianghu not to steal from the Thousand Crane Villa.”

Fang Shijie couldn’t be bothered to recall rhe messy fight just now. He said, “The sword in this man’s hand is the sword of Assistant Minister Liu’s second son. 1 saw it when I came here in the afternoon. I think it’s a wanderer passing through the capital and playing on Parasol Street. He didn’t like Young Master Liu or liked this sword, so he stole it. After stealing it at the Dragon Cry Pavilion, he came here. Itrs just a thief. There’s no need to waste rime on this person.”

Hearing this, the few of them didn’t say anything else about this and continued to discuss serious matters…
