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

Chapter 42 42. Heart-pounding
After successfully escaping the pursuit, Shi Feiyang did not dare to let his guard down and immediately sped along the winding mountain forest path. He silently rejoiced in his heart, thinking that he had finally escaped Liu Tingting's pursuit.

As his internal strength gradually recovered, Shi Feiyang looked forward to returning to save Gong Simeng after his strength was fully restored.

However, fate did not seem to let Shi Feiyang escape from his predicament easily.

Just as Shi Feiyang was about to leave the forest and see the village ahead, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Shi Feiyang was startled and quickly looked back, only to see Liu Tingting leading a group of maids, armed with various weapons, chasing after him. Liu Tingting's eyes burned with rage, determined not to let Shi Feiyang escape.

She caught up with Shi Feiyang, then swung the sword in her hand and stabbed at Shi Feiyang without hesitation.

Shi Feiyang was as agile as the wind and easily avoided the sword, but he was soon surrounded by a group of maids and had no way to escape.

He knew that he was in a desperate situation again and there was no way out. Only by fighting hard could he have a chance of breaking out.

Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, summoned the sliver of strength he had just recovered, and, wielding his long sword, engaged in a fierce battle with Liu Tingting and her maids. Amidst the flashes of swords and sabers, Shi Feiyang's movements were as nimble as a swallow, his swordsmanship exquisite, and for a time, he and Liu Tingting and the others were locked in a close battle. However, Shi Feiyang, poisoned and wounded, gradually lost his internal energy.

Facing numerous enemies, after more than ten moves, Shi Feiyang gradually felt exhausted, his sword skills began to become messy, and his vision gradually blurred. At this moment, a clever plan suddenly flashed in Shi Feiyang's mind.

So, Shi Feiyang pretended to retreat, and with a sway of his body, he cleverly avoided Liu Tingting's fatal sword.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to throw the knife in his hand at the defenseless maid beside him. The maid was hit in the shoulder by the knife and immediately lost her fighting ability.

Shi Feiyang then displayed his peerless lightness skill of "hiding one's body and name", leaned forward and jumped, taking the Burmese knife back into his hand.

Liu Tingting witnessed Shi Feiyang's actions and became even angrier. She swung her sword and stabbed Shi Feiyang with an increasingly fierce attack.

Under Liu Tingting's continuous attacks, Shi Feiyang's internal strength gradually weakened and his physical strength gradually became exhausted.

His originally profound Mingyu Gong seemed to disappear completely at this moment, causing him to fall into danger frequently during the fierce battle.

Shi Feiyang felt weak all over, and the Burmese knife in his hand seemed to be about to fall out of his grasp. The knife became heavier and heavier in his hand.

Just when his life was hanging by a thread, suddenly a melodious piano sound rang out, like a beautiful melody from the sky, bringing a touch of tranquility and hope to this fierce battle.

Shi Feiyang was captivated by the melodious sound of the zither. Instinctively, he wielded his sword, but his gaze traversed the tranquil forest, as if transcending the boundaries of time and space. Finally, his gaze settled on a small, exquisite pavilion.

The pavilion is nestled in a lush green bamboo forest, looking like a masterpiece of nature.

Inside the pavilion, a woman in plain light blue clothes was sitting quietly, her hands lightly plucking the strings of a guqin.

The sound of the piano is like the gurgling of running water, as if telling an ancient story.

The woman playing the piano had a beautiful and refined appearance, as if she was not tainted by the worldly customs, like a fairy who was detached from the world.

Her face is like a beautiful painting, her eyebrows are like distant green mountains, her eyes are like autumn water with affection, her nose is like a hanging gourd, and her lips are as red as cherries.

Her otherworldly aura captivated everyone, and every movement she made exuded grace and composure, as if she were completely alien to the hustle and bustle of the world.

This woman is none other than the young master of Changsheng Castle - Lin Wanqing.

Her name is as gentle and elegant as her temperament.

Lin Wanqing is not only the young master of Changsheng Castle, but also a master of the zither who is praised by everyone in the world.

Her piano music heals hearts, making people forget their troubles and feel as if they are in a fairyland. Her piano skill lies not only in her superb technique, but also in her ability to integrate her emotions into the music, allowing people to feel her inner tranquility and indifference.

Shi Feiyang listened quietly to Lin Wanqing's piano playing, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. The beautiful figure of the Sunflower Saint appeared in front of him, and he felt that the girl playing the piano in front of him was just like the Sunflower Saint.

I never thought that in this turbulent world, there would be such an otherworldly existence.

Lin Wanqing's piano music was like a clear spring, washing away the dust in Shi Feiyang's heart and making him temporarily forget the grudges and disputes in the world of martial arts.

At this moment, Shi Feiyang wanted nothing more than to immerse himself in the beautiful music, savoring this moment of tranquility and beauty with his beloved, the Sunflower Saint, Lin Wanqing. However, this was a matter of life and death. Sword shadows danced like the wind, and the sword energy was fierce. Liu Tingting gripped the hilt tightly, breaking through Shi Feiyang's blades and performing a decisive killing move called "Tender as Water." With a flick of her wrist, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Shi Feiyang's chest.

Suddenly, Liu Tingting's sword tip flicked and attacked Shi Feiyang's throat with extremely sharp sword skills.

After Shi Feiyang woke up in shock, he couldn't help but shouting, "Beautiful lady, save me!" Obviously, he was unable to resist, and instinctively used the wonderful light skill of "hiding one's body and name". However, as his body swayed, the little bit of strength that he had just recovered with great difficulty dissipated again.

Shi Feiyang fell to the ground in dejection, but fortunately he avoided Liu Tingting's fatal move.

Liu Tingting curled up the corner of her mouth in a sneer of contempt and snorted disdainfully.

Then, she shook her wrist, and the sword pointed straight at Shi Feiyang's throat like lightning.

Lin Wanqing stood aside and witnessed this scene. A flash of anger appeared in her eyes and she waved her hands quickly.

In an instant, the strings flew in the air like whips, colliding with the long swords of Liu Tingting and her maid in the air, making a series of crisp metal collision sounds, and sparks flew everywhere.

Liu Tingting and her maid felt a sharp pain in their palms, and their faces showed surprise. They had obviously not expected that there would be mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. They realized that the opponent before them was no ordinary person.

So they stopped attacking Shi Feiyang, temporarily retreated, and re-examined the situation.

After Shi Feiyang's eyes rolled back several times, he spread his hands and fainted.

Liu Tingting angrily questioned Lin Wanqing: "Lin Wanqing, what do you want to do? Why do you want to help the villain Shi Feiyang? Don't you from Changsheng Castle think that intervening in the affairs of our Shenshui Palace will bring trouble? Humph! Do you know that Shi Feiyang is the enemy of our Shenshui Palace, and his existence is like a thorn in our eyes and a thorn in our flesh. We have long vowed to put this villain to death to avenge the past. And you, actually came to our aid at this critical moment, what is your intention? Aren't you afraid that the relationship between our Shenshui Palace and your Changsheng Castle will be broken because of this?" In the martial arts world, if you want to kill someone without being criticized by others, you need a good excuse.

Liu Tingting actually portrayed Shi Feiyang as her nemesis and a devil.

　I wish you all a happy holiday, and may your love be like the stars in the night sky, illuminating each other’s world!
