Wuxia: Become the 100-Victory Sword King at the Beginning

Chapter 100: Mysterious Valley: Shi Feiyang meets Liu Tingting and embarks on another exploration journey
Xiang Kun and Jin Liufu, the two strong men, were like children who had found the candy they had always dreamed of. Their faces flushed with excitement, just like ripe apples, bright red. They jumped out of the valley, their steps as light as the leaping of deer.

Along the way, they laughed constantly, and their hearty laughter echoed back and forth in the valley, like a breeze in the mountains, blowing freely and throwing all the troubles in the world into the sky.

The surrounding valleys are gently surrounded by clouds and mist, which are as ethereal as a veil and like a dream.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the clouds, falling like golden threads and gently draping over them, adding a touch of sacredness and solemnity to this mysterious place. It was as if they had instantly stepped into a fairyland, emitting a soft light all over their bodies.

Gong Simeng sat comfortably on Suzaku's back, the breeze like a gentle hand gently ruffling her hair, causing it to dance softly in the wind. She stretched out her body, fully feeling the freedom and exhilaration of the sky, feeling as if she had merged with the blue sky and white clouds, becoming part of it.

She looked down at the mountains and rivers below, the magnificent scenery made her mesmerized. The mountains and rivers rolled and rolled, the rivers twisted and turned, like a beautiful painting. And in this picturesque scenery, she recalled every little detail of her acquaintance with Shi Feiyang. Every moment was like a shining star, embedded in the depths of her memory, making her feel warm.

She was full of anticipation for the future days of exploring the unknown with Shi Feiyang. That anticipation was like bright starlight, illuminating her heart and making her eyes sparkle with longing.

Shi Feiyang rode on a white tiger, and with the white tiger's steady steps, his figure gradually moved away in the interweaving of light and shadow.

He looked down at the parchment in his hand. The location of Black Wind Village marked on it had become a beacon guiding him to his next target.

His eyes contained an unshakable belief, and he secretly made up his mind to collect all the keys as soon as possible, uncover the secret of the ancient curse space, and rescue the imprisoned leaders.

His eyes were like torches in a cold night, emitting a fiery light that revealed determination and perseverance.

Xiang Kun and Jin Liufu ran and played excitedly through the valley like two innocent children, chasing each other, laughing and joking, their laughter echoing through the valley. They knew that meeting a hero like Shi Feiyang was the greatest blessing of their lives, and this blessing made their joy at the moment even purer.

All the good things in the world come together at this moment, making their smiles particularly bright.

As the four figures gradually disappeared into the distance, the valley returned to its former tranquility and mystery.

The legends and secrets about the ancient curse space will slowly be revealed as Shi Feiyang and others explore.

Suddenly, a melodious sound of a piano drifted in. It was like the sound of nature, ethereal and graceful, as if it came from a distant fairyland, with an otherworldly charm. Shi Feiyang, Jin Liufu, and Xiang Kun almost stopped at the same time and turned to look in the direction of the piano sound.

Their movements were in unison, all being pulled by an invisible force.

In the distance, a woman in white gracefully sat on a rock, gently strumming a guqin (Chinese zither). Her movements were gentle and rhythmic, each pluck weaving a beautiful dream. Her aura was otherworldly, like a fairy descended to earth, devoid of any trace of worldly airs.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, her skin as white as snow, delicate and delicate as a baby's. Her eyes were like clear springs, gleaming with a lively light. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as distant black ink, her lips as delicate as cherries, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a faint smile. Behind her stood several maids in aquamarine outfits, like stars surrounding the moon, further highlighting her extraordinary temperament. Her every move and gesture revealed a variety of graceful demeanor.

The woman playing the zither noticed Shi Feiyang and the others stop and look at her. She rose lightly, like a falling snowflake, and leaped in front of them. In her hand, she held a crystal-clear ice jade sword, and a warm blue light emanated from her body, like the bright moon in the night sky.

This beautiful girl is Liu Tingting, the young master of Liaodong Shenshui Palace.

Suddenly, Shi Feiyang's white tiger roared, its hair stood up, and it pounced on Liu Tingting as fast as an arrow.

The white tiger's eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if it felt a strong threat, and its ferocity seemed to tear everything in front of it into pieces. Its body was like a white lightning, instantly cutting through the air and rushing towards Liu Tingting.

Liu Tingting's beautiful eyes moved, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she regained her composure in an instant.

She gently raised her jade sword, and a mighty stream of water surged from the hilt, like a nimble water dragon, swirling and dancing to meet the white tiger. The dragon roared, its boundless power fiercely countering the white tiger's might. The splashing water shimmered in the sunlight like sparkling pearls. The water flowed like a powerful torrent, repelling the white tiger's attack.

The white tiger retreated helplessly, its steps stumbling slightly as it hid behind Shi Feiyang. Its massive body now appeared somewhat helpless, seeking the protection of its master. Its body trembled slightly, and a hint of fear was revealed in its eyes.

Liu Tingting put away her magic, and the rushing water instantly turned into mist, which rose and dissipated.

Xiang Kun and Jin Liufu ran away, their faces brimming with rage, as if they were avoiding the plague. They loathed Liu Tingting to the core and refused to spend even a moment with her. They ran over ten feet away and sat down in the bushes, panting. They kept looking back, mumbling discontent, their eyes filled with wariness and disgust.

The moment Shi Feiyang saw Liu Tingting, his heart suddenly shook as if hit by a heavy hammer, and his breathing stopped for a moment.

His gaze seemed drawn to Liu Tingting's face, unable to move even a fraction. Countless images flashed through his mind, the beautiful moments he'd shared with the Sunflower Saint flooding back like a surging tide. Liu Tingting's features, her expression, all made him dazed, as if the Sunflower Saint had traveled through time and space to stand before him.

Shi Feiyang's legs felt slightly weak, and if the white tiger hadn't been holding him steadily, he would have nearly fallen. An indescribable excitement surged within him: a nostalgia for the beautiful memories of the past, and a thrill of surprise at this wondrous reunion. These two emotions intertwined, causing his chest to heave violently, as if trying to vent these surging emotions.

He gathered himself, trying to calm his racing heart, but his rapid breathing still betrayed him. Shi Feiyang clasped his fists and said, "Miss Liu, is that you? I wonder why you're here?" His voice trembled slightly, and each word seemed to be squeezed out with difficulty from his trembling throat, carrying with it the excitement and nervousness he could hardly conceal.

Liu Tingting sheathed the jade sword at her waist and gracefully returned the greeting, "Master Shi, you are so polite. My Shenshui Palace has recently sensed the spread of evil within the martial arts world, and we've been tracking it all the way here. Upon learning that Master Shi was also investigating this matter, we decided to come and help him unravel this mystery together."

She recalled the day when Shi Feiyang and her mother Liu Yanran fought at the cold pond of Qingluan Peak. Shi Feiyang's swordsmanship was sharp, and each of his moves was unstoppable. The flashing sword light seemed to split the sky and the earth in half.

Despite Liu Yanran's profound skills, he was ultimately defeated. Liu Tingting, watching the battle from the sidelines, was deeply shocked. Shi Feiyang's image left a deep impression on her mind, like a painting engraved in her heart.

After that once-in-a-century peak showdown, Shi Feiyang's actions completely changed Liu Tingting's impression of him.

At that time, Shi Feiyang sent people to present 300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 shi of grain to Shenshui Palace. Liu Tingting was deeply shocked and knew that this was not only a material gift, but also a display of magnanimity and bearing.

Since then, Shi Feiyang's image has frequently appeared in Liu Tingting's mind. Deep in her heart, she has developed an inseparable feeling for Shi Feiyang, as if Shi Feiyang has become an indispensable part of her life.

Noticing something unusual in the martial arts world and learning that Shi Feiyang was investigating the matter, Liu Tingting embarked on a journey to find Shi Feiyang without hesitation. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to fight alongside him.

At this moment, Liu Tingting stared at Shi Feiyang's resolute profile, and an inexplicable courage surged in her heart.

She took a deep breath, her cheeks flushed slightly, like the gorgeous sunset glow on the horizon. She stepped forward and said softly, "Hero Shi, ever since we last parted at Qingluan Peak, I've been looking for an opportunity to meet you again. Now that I can fight alongside you, I've fulfilled my wish."

Her voice was soft and sincere, telling of a beautiful dream, her eyes full of anticipation and shyness.

Shi Feiyang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Liu Tingting to express such thoughts at this moment.

However, in his mind, Liu Tingting was like the Sunflower Saint, and now was the time to use her, so he nodded solemnly and responded, "Miss Liu, let's go rescue the missing leader of the Shandong martial arts world first, and we can discuss other matters later."

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes. On the one hand, he was touched by Liu Tingting's straightforward words, and on the other, he was trying to balance his complex emotions with the urgent task at hand. But soon, his gaze regained its determination and he looked off into the distance. He cast aside all distractions and threw himself wholeheartedly into the upcoming challenge.

The moment Gong Simeng saw Liu Tingting, his heart sank suddenly and an inexplicable sense of loss surged in his heart.

She looked at Liu Tingting's beautiful appearance, like a delicate flower in full bloom, and then at Shi Feiyang's slightly excited expression, and a pang of bitterness welled up in her heart. She forced a smile and said, "Young Palace Master, the water-attributed skills of the Divine Water Palace are truly miraculous. The skills you just demonstrated are truly well-deserved." Her smile was a little stiff, and a subtle sadness flashed in her eyes, as if the light of hope in her heart had been extinguished in an instant. Her fingers unconsciously grasped the corner of her clothes.

Liu Tingting smiled and replied, "You're too kind. There are hidden secrets hidden in this Black Wind Village, so we'd better be careful."

Shi Feiyang hurriedly asked, "Miss Liu, how did you know that the missing leader of Shandong Wulin was related to Black Wind Village?"

He felt that this matter was quite strange. He had gone through many bloody battles before he knew the conspiracy of Black Wind Village.

But Liu Tingting seemed to have known it for a long time, which made him full of doubts. His heart was shrouded in a layer of fog, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
