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

Chapter 44. The Style of a Noble Lady
Lin Wanqing moved lightly with lotus steps, her figure graceful.

Her waist is as slender as a willow and her clothes flutter in the wind, showing the gentleness and dignity of a lady from a noble family.

After a moment's silence, Lin Wanqing raised her jade hand and slowly took out an ancient token from her bosom.

The movement was extremely graceful, as if a solemn ceremony was being held, and then the token was gently handed to Shi Feiyang.

Then, Lin Wanqing opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, she said softly, "Master Shi, this is the token of our Changsheng Fort. If you take it, it may help you in a critical moment. In addition, I will teach you a set of Changsheng sword techniques for your protection. With your original powerful skills, you will be invincible when you use the Changsheng sword techniques."

As she spoke, she nodded slightly, her manners graceful, showing the knowledge and good manners of a lady from a noble family.

Shi Feiyang took the token, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He said with emotion, "Miss Lin, you have been so kind to me. I, Shi Feiyang, will never forget it. However, I cannot be too greedy. I only want to improve my own martial arts skills and will not learn any other martial arts. I am truly sorry! I am not very knowledgeable and my understanding is limited."

Lin Wanqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sweet smile, just like a flower blooming in spring, bright and warm, with a bit of the reserve unique to a lady from a noble family. She smiled softly and said, "Master Shi, there is no need to thank me between you and me. I just hope that you will be safe and sound in the future, then I will be satisfied." When she spoke, her tone was soft and her intonation was calm, showing her gentle and graceful temperament.

Her voice was filled with tenderness and concern as she added, "Also, what you just said makes a lot of sense. The path of martial arts is like an unfathomable ocean. Everyone's time and energy are limited, so why pursue comprehensiveness? Who in the world can possibly master all 72 Shaolin Temple skills?"

After saying this, she tilted her head slightly, as if thinking about something. Her posture was elegant and moving, like a beautiful painting.

Shi Feiyang looked at Lin Wanqing's eyes, which were as gentle as autumn water, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

He understood that he would probably never be able to repay this feeling in his lifetime.

But no matter what, he will remember this kindness and prove his intentions with practical actions.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance, breaking the moment of silence.

Shi Feiyang and Lin Wanqing turned around at the same time and saw a disciple of the Lin family running towards them hurriedly, looking a little panicked.

The disciple ran up to them and said with a gasp, "Miss, something terrible has happened! The evildoers from the Shenshui Palace are rushing here, and it seems they are here to seek revenge!" Lin Wanqing's originally fair cheeks changed color slightly when she heard this.

However, she quickly regained her composure, and her calm demeanor was worthy of being from a famous family.

Lin Wanqing looked at Shi Feiyang again, a firmness flashed in her eyes, and she said in a respectful but assertive tone: "Chief Shi, I'm sorry to say something disrespectful, but your power has not yet fully recovered. Please hide first and leave this to me." After that, she gently raised her jade hand and made an elegant gesture, signaling the gray-clothed man nearby to come over. Her every move showed calmness and composure.

The beautiful figure of Gong Simeng flashed before Shi Feiyang's eyes. In order not to cause trouble to Lin Wanqing, he nodded, turned around with self-awareness, and hid in the cellar of the secret room with a man in gray.

Lin Wanqing straightened her clothes and walked slowly and steadily out of the courtyard, standing quietly outside Changsheng Castle. Her graceful figure was like a lotus blooming in the wind. Her expression was calm, and she waited patiently for the arrival of the villains from Shenshui Palace. Her every move and gesture displayed the calmness and dignity of a lady from a noble family.

Yet, she felt a slight unease, secretly pondering: If my father, Lin Hui, were still alive, who in the martial arts world would dare challenge Changsheng Fort? Alas! It's a shame that Chief Leader Shi's powers haven't fully recovered yet. Otherwise, why would he fear the thugs of the Divine Water Palace wreaking havoc here? Whatever the outcome of this battle, I only hope Chief Leader Shi won't fight. Whether it's life or death, whether it's the survival of Changsheng Fort, the consequences will fall on me alone. I hope Chief Leader Shi will come to my grave and offer a stick of incense. Then, even in my grave, I can smile.

Knowing that today's events are a foregone conclusion, the only thing we can do is face it bravely.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves in the distance gradually became clearer. People from the Shenshui Palace rode towards them, and in the dust, they appeared before Lin Wanqing, her maid, and a group of gray-clad men. Every one of the people from the Shenshui Palace looked ferocious and hostile.

What is even more shocking is that their number actually reached more than a thousand.

However, Liu Tingting, Gong Ci'en, Gong Yao'en and others do not seem to be among them, which is really puzzling.

Lin Wanqing looked calm as she moved forward with light lotus steps. Her posture was elegant and she spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, but indifferently: "Everyone from Shenshui Palace, I wonder why you came to my Lin family's territory tonight to cause trouble?" Her tone was steady, revealing the dignity and majesty of a lady from a famous family.

A middle-aged man, the leader of the Shenshui Palace, sneered, "Lin Wanqing, there's no need to feign ignorance! The feud between the Lin family and the Shenshui Palace must be settled today!" Lin Wanqing's heart sank upon hearing this, but she maintained a composed expression, her indifferent demeanor betraying no fear. Having not yet mastered the Changsheng Sword Technique and internal energy to the highest levels, she had been hesitant to contemplate revenge, silently biding her time. She knew the path to vengeance would be difficult and would require a slow and steady approach.

However, facing the enemy leader's sneer and ridicule, Lin Wanqing straightened her slender yet resilient body and said calmly, "Since the Divine Water Palace is forcing us so hard, let's end this once and for all today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanqing stretched out her delicate hand and drew out the long sword from her waist as smoothly as flowing water. The way she drew the sword was elegant and neat, showing the style of a person from a martial arts family.

Seeing this, the people from Shenshui Palace also drew their weapons, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

At that moment, the leaders of the various martial arts sects within Changsheng Fort and their disciples rushed over upon hearing the news. Witnessing the confrontation, they immediately grasped the situation. The martial artists within Changsheng Fort quickly rallied behind Lin Wanqing, forming a standoff with the people from Shenshui Palace.

Lin Wanqing turned her head and looked behind her with a watery gaze. A warm current surged in her heart. She knew that although the feud between the Lin family and the Shenshui Palace had lasted for a long time, and although the Shenshui Palace was very powerful and stood at the pinnacle of the Liaodong martial arts world, the righteous people in the martial arts world would never stand idly by and watch the survival of Changsheng Fort.

Lin Wanqing glanced gratefully at everyone present, then raised her voice slightly and said clearly and firmly, "My fellow martial artists, today I leave the resolution of the feud between my Lin family and the Divine Water Palace in your hands!"

Although her voice was not loud, it was full of power, showing the appeal of a lady from a noble family.

After hearing Lin Wanqing's words, martial artists from various factions responded and expressed their willingness to lend a helping hand to Lin Wanqing.

They knew in their hearts that Shenshui Palace had committed many evil deeds in the martial arts world in recent years and had long been the target of public criticism.

Tonight's battle is not only for the Lin family, but also for maintaining justice and fairness in the martial arts world.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man who was the leader of the Shenshui Palace's expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of uneasiness.

But he quickly regained his composure, sneered, and said, "Humph! Even if you outnumber us, my Divine Water Palace won't be afraid of you! Today, I'll let you witness the power of my Divine Water Palace!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the people from the Shenshui Palace rushed towards the people from the Changsheng Castle like a tide.

Seeing this, the various martial artists in Changsheng Fort showed no sign of weakness, drawing their weapons and engaging in a fierce battle with the people from Shenshui Palace. Suddenly, swords flashed, fists whistled, and the entire scene was filled with a murderous aura.

A thrilling battle has begun.

Outside Changsheng Castle, the sounds of shouting and weapons clashing were deafening, as if the whole earth was shaking.

Lin Wanqing snorted contemptuously. The sound was crisp yet tinged with dignity, revealing the arrogance and disdain of a lady from a distinguished family. She said, "Evildoers of Shenshui Palace, tonight, let us judge heroes by their strength! Who will emerge victorious in the end? Let us wait and see!"

Upon hearing this, the leading man of Shenshui Palace was furious but responded with a smile: "Okay! Let us witness who can leave this place safely tonight!" After he finished speaking, he jumped off his horse, tapped the ground with his toes, then took off into the air, swung a copper stick, and used the "Vajra Four-Door Stick Technique" to attack Lin Wanqing.

In an instant, the stick shadows flew around with the sound of whistling wind. Every move was so powerful that it seemed to shatter the surrounding air.

Lin Wanqing quickly raised her sword to fight. Her sword skills were agile and elegant, and her sword moves were continuous like flowing clouds and water.

The "Eternal Life Sword Technique" was displayed to the fullest in her hands.

She moved like a swallow, her sword flashing with movement. Every time she struck out, she accurately blocked the copper stick's attack while searching for her opponent's weakness. The two of them exchanged fierce moves, and for a moment, it was difficult to tell who was stronger.

The fierce fighting around them became more and more intense. People on both sides were blood-thirsty and the ground beneath their feet was dyed red with blood.
