Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 27: Knife Fighting! [Please Read]

"Come, beauty, let's sit here."

The man with a knife walked into the inn and forcibly dragged the little nun to sit at the table across from Jiang Xuan and the other man.

The little nun's body and face were a little stiff, and there was anger in her eyes. She stared at the man, but for some reason she didn't say a word.

Xu Longqing glanced at her and whispered, "Sir, that little nun was acupunctured. She must have been kidnapped by this man as a hostage."

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly. Seeing the man's frivolous look, he became more certain of his guess.

This man is probably Tian Boguang, the flower-stealing thief in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

This place is not far from Hengshan Mountain.

If nothing unexpected happens, the little nun kidnapped by Tian Boguang is Yi Lin, the beloved disciple of Master Dingyi, one of the "Three Dings" of the Hengshan School.

What a coincidence.

"Sir, do you want to..." Xu Longqing couldn't stand these kidnappers, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Xuan shook his head slightly: "Don't meddle in other people's business."

If it was an ordinary girl from a good family, he might help her, but forget about it if it was someone from the underworld. The situation in the Ming Dynasty was turbulent now, and the relationship between the court and the underworld was very delicate, almost in a state of non-interference.

According to the plot of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", since it was Yi Lin who was kidnapped, most likely nothing would happen.

Moreover, Tian Boguang was known as the 'Walker of Ten Thousand Miles'. Not only was he an expert in lightness skills, but his swordsmanship was also exceptional. He was at least a first-rate master. Now that Xu Longqing was injured, there was no need to create trouble.

"Yes." Hearing this, Xu Longqing was a little disappointed.

"My little beauty, can't you just be good and follow me? Why do you always want to run away?"

Tian Boguang stared at Yi Lin's face with an obsessive look. "We are already over a hundred miles away from Hengshan. You'd better not think about running away, and don't think that anyone will come to rescue you. With my Qinggong, even if your master comes, he may not be able to catch up with me."

Yi Lin's eyes were filled with rage as she stared at Tian Boguang. Suddenly, she broke through the acupuncture points and shouted angrily, "Get out of here, you rapist! My master will not let you go..."

sigh~
Tian Boguang's expression changed slightly, and he quickly tapped Yi Lin's chest twice to seal her acupoints again.

But Yi Lin's voice still attracted the attention of other guests in the restaurant, and many pairs of eyes looked over.

Tian Boguang snorted coldly and glared at the person. "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a flower thief? I am one! If anyone dares to look at me again, I'll dig your eyes out!"

Everyone's faces turned pale and they quickly turned their heads away, not wanting to meddle in other people's business.

Tian Boguang became even more arrogant upon seeing this. He turned around and said triumphantly, "See? Everyone in this world is a coward. No matter how loud you shout, no one dares to come to your rescue."

As Tian Boguang spoke, he looked around wildly. Everyone he looked at lowered their heads, wishing they could bury them under the table.

"what?"

Suddenly, Tian Boguang paused and his gaze stopped on Jiang Xuan and Xu Longqing, with a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

His eyes flashed, and then he stood up and walked towards the two of them. He looked up and down at the swords on their bodies, then sat down next to Jiang Xuan, stepped on the stool next to him, put his arm around Jiang Xuan's neck, and said with a click of his tongue, "You're also a swordsman!"

"How about it, you two? Are you interested in being a hero and saving the damsel in distress?"

"How about we have a sword fight? If you win, I'll let this little beauty go. How about that?"

This guy has a dissolute personality, but he is extremely confident in his own abilities. Seeing that Jiang Xuan and the other two are young, he doesn't take them seriously at all.

Jiang Xuan didn't respond. He glanced at the hand on his shoulder and said calmly, "Let go."

"With such little courage, how can you come out and make a living in the underworld?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Tian Boguang's eyes. He patted Jiang Xuan's face, let go, stood up and prepared to leave.

But this insulting action made Jiang Xuan's face change suddenly.

"you wanna die!"

choke!
The long sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and he slashed at Tian Boguang with his backhand.

"Damn it!" Tian Boguang's pupils shrank, and he tapped his toes lightly, and actually moved his body down 45 degrees on the spot, avoiding the dangerous knife.

"Clang——" Xu Longqing instantly drew his sword and stood up, staring coldly at Tian Boguang.

"Embroidered Spring Blade? Jinyiwei?!"

Tian Boguang stood firm and saw the two men's swords. His face changed slightly and he sneered, "I was wrong. I thought they were young men who had just entered the martial arts world. It turned out to be two young hawks. No wonder they are so cowardly!" Through the previous knife attack, he also roughly understood Jiang Xuan's strength. Moreover, he was already on the wanted list of the court, so he was not panicked at all after knowing that the two men were Jinyiwei.

"Nice knife skills, little eagle dog. Are you interested in playing with it?"

Tian Boguang stared at Jiang Xuan with a playful expression and said, "If you can beat me within thirty moves, I'll let this little beauty go. How about it? Wanna bet?"

"Bet! But it's your life!"

Following the cold words, Jiang Xuan's figure suddenly disappeared, and the sharp blade light swept across, but was blocked by Tian Boguang.

This guy was extremely fast and he didn't know when he drew his sword. Jiang Xuan didn't even see it clearly.

But since he had already decided to kill, there was no need to hesitate. After missing the first strike, Jiang Xuan raised his sword and attacked again, slashing it diagonally with a heavy blow.

"Come on!" Tian Boguang laughed, and swung out his dagger with the same fierceness, confronting Jiang Xuan head-on.

ding ding ding-

In an instant, the restaurant was filled with the flashing of knives and the continuous sounds of weapons clashing, making it impossible for people to see the two men's knife-drawing movements.

But Jiang Xuan saw it very clearly and felt it most deeply.

This guy's swordsmanship is indeed very strong, and his sword-drawing speed is astonishingly fast, but he still seems to have some strength left. It is obvious that he does not regard himself as a strong opponent. He is undoubtedly a first-class master.

After a while, Jiang Xuan gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Tian Boguang became more and more excited as he fought.

"Too slow! Too slow!"

"Faster, faster!"

Tian Boguang laughed heartily, and the sword light fell like raindrops, one after another, chopping Jiang Xuan back repeatedly.

"Dang——" After fighting for a while, Jiang Xuan took his sword attack head-on, then deliberately reduced the force and stepped back to create some distance.

Tian Boguang was about to continue forward to attack, but suddenly his body froze, with two arrows stuck between his eyebrows. He stared at the figure opposite him with wide eyes, anger and confusion in his eyes: "We agreed to compete in swordsmanship, and you..."

"Times have changed, idiot."

Jiang Xuan swore sarcastically and retracted his sword and crossbow.

"Bang!" Tian Boguang fell heavily to the ground, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Xu Longqing breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried forward, flattering him: "Your Excellency is mighty!"

Jiang Xuan ignored him and glanced at Yi Lin across from him: "Go see what's going on."

Since Tian Boguang has been dealt with, it would be okay to save the little nun as well.

The anger and despair in Yi Lin's eyes had turned into surprise, and she kept blinking to express her gratitude to Jiang Xuan.

But Xu Longqing stepped forward and took a closer look, then shook his head regretfully, "Sir, I don't know how to unblock the acupuncture points."

Jiang Xuan's mouth twitched: "If you don't know how to solve it, what are you looking at?"

Xu Longqing smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Xuan frowned, also feeling somewhat helpless, as he had never learned how to release acupuncture points.

Tread...  

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the door.

Jiang Xuan looked back in surprise. Just when he and Tian Boguang were fighting, all the other guests in the restaurant were scared away, and there was actually someone who dared to walk in on his own initiative.

But when he saw the man's appearance clearly, he was stunned.

"blind?"

This man was wearing a conical hat and a black robe. He looked young, about thirty years old, but he looked very sloppy, with a face full of stubble. He was even blind, but he was holding a nearly four-foot-long sword as a blind stick to explore the way.

This unique image made Jiang Xuan think of someone—

The ghostwriter becomes blind.
