Demon-killing Enlightenment

Mu Yang returned to the butcher shop, feeling a little depressed. His shortcomings in knife skills could not be made up for for the time being, so he could only work hard on the "Xing" technique.

He practiced the Xing character technique on several ghosts in the Ni Ling Jian, but the ghosts were unconditionally obedient to his master and would not dodge at all, so he could only perform it over and over again between ghosts.

After feeding the ghost that was close to the resentful soul with spiritual power, Mu Yang began to practice spiritual energy. After practicing for a few weeks, Mu Yang ended the practice, adjusted his mood, and was still full of confidence.

After all, with the existence of such a heaven-defying martial art as the Ni Ling Jian, we cannot ask for more.

Mu Yang walked out of the inner room. It was already bright outside. Yang Jiao and Aunt Liu were busy in the butcher shop, and Xiao Douzi was running between the tables and chairs.

"Awake? I heard that you suffered a crushing defeat?" Aunt Liu said while busying herself when she saw Mu Yang coming out.

Mu Yang looked at Yang Jiao and knew that Yang Jiao had told Aunt Liu about the competition between him and Yang Jin last night. Yang Jiao was busy and seemed to be unaware that Mu Yang was looking at her.

Mu Yang forced a smile and did not deny it.

"Don't be sad. Yang Jin is in the late stage of the Qi realm. How many days have you been in the Qi realm? It's rare for you to be able to defeat him even a little bit." Aunt Liu comforted Mu Yang when she saw that he was smiling very ugly.

"I know, Aunt Liu, I won't be discouraged. Teacher Yang has allowed me to see the realm of a master, and I will be able to reach that level in the future," said Mu Yang.

"Well, that's good. Xiaojiao, you two deliver the meat, and then you go to the City God Temple and wait for me." Aunt Liu said as she took off her apron.

Mu Yang didn’t know what Aunt Liu meant, but he still set off with Yang Jiao.

Yang Jiao didn't say much on the way, a change from her previous lively personality, and just chatted with Mu Yang in random topics.

When they came back, Yang Jiao went straight back to the butcher shop, while Mu Yang went to the City God Temple as instructed by Aunt Liu.

Mu Yang was very familiar with the road to Chenghuang Temple. After walking for some time, he arrived.

There are still some remnants of the dilapidated courtyard of the City God Temple, at least the gate and the wall foundation are still there. When Mu Yang walked into the gate, he saw Aunt Liu standing in the courtyard of the City God Temple.

But at this time, Aunt Liu was no longer dressed like an ordinary woman in the butcher shop. She was wearing a tight dress, her hair was tied up, and she held two meat-cutting knives in her hands.

Mu Yang was so surprised to see Aunt Liu like this that he was speechless. He looked carefully at the "female warrior" standing there. Her temperament, posture and eyes were completely different from the Aunt Liu he knew.

Only in the general outline can you see some shadow of Yang Jiao.

Without waiting for Mu Yang to speak, Aunt Liu pointed the knife in front of her and said, "Remember to always carry the knife with you in the future."

After listening to Aunt Liu's words, Mu Yang came back to his senses from his surprise and looked in the direction where Aunt Liu's knife was pointing.

It turned out that Mu Yang's scimitar was inserted not far in front of Aunt Liu. Mu Yang was only focused on looking at Aunt Liu after she changed her clothes, and did not notice that his scimitar had been taken away by Aunt Liu.

Mu Yang made the scabbard so that he could carry the scimitar conveniently. Today, he went to deliver the meat and his hands were busy, so he simply didn't take the scimitar.

"Aunt Liu, what do you mean?" Mu Yang asked in confusion.

Aunt Liu saw that Mu Yang was in the dark and explained, "Xiao Jiao told me the details of your fight with Yang Jin this morning. Your swordsmanship is too bad. Even if your strength improves in the future, without good swordsmanship to complement you, your effectiveness in fighting will be greatly reduced."

Mu Yang did not hide it, "Yes, Aunt Liu, I also found out, but there is no good way to solve it now, so I can only take it one step at a time."

"Masters in Yangcheng rarely use swords, especially the Yang family, so they can't help you with sword techniques." Aunt Liu said.

When Mu Yang learned about this situation, he didn't know what to say, but he did feel that the scimitar was convenient to use, and he didn't want to give up the knife and use the sword just because someone taught him swordsmanship.

Moreover, influenced by the genius who practiced the Xing character technique, Mu Yang subconsciously thought that the Xing character technique was more suitable for the sword.

"So today, I'm going to teach you how to use a knife." Aunt Liu said calmly.

Mu Yang was shocked again. Aunt Liu wanted to teach him knife skills. What was going on? Wasn't she just an ordinary woman who made a living by selling meat in Yangcheng?

Aunt Liu was not surprised when she saw Mu Yang was shocked. After all, not many people in Yangcheng knew about her identity.

"My name is Liu Cheng'an. I'm from the Liu family in Yanchi City, northwest of Yangcheng. The Liu family is used to using knives." Liu Cheng'an introduced himself.

Another city? Liu Family? Mu Yang had no reaction to this unfamiliar name.

"It's normal that I haven't heard of it. Yanchi City was captured by a tide of ghosts twelve years ago and is gone." Liu Cheng'an's voice was a little sad.

Ghost tide? An entire city is gone? Mu Yang was quite surprised as he listened to Aunt Liu's introduction.

"Don't think about those things. You will understand them naturally when you have reached the required strength. Come and pick up your knife." Liu Cheng'an quickly recovered and said.

Mu Yang obediently walked to the scimitar, picked up the scimitar and looked at Aunt Liu.

"I am used to using two swords. Let me demonstrate to you. The Liu family's sword techniques can be used with both single and double swords. It depends on your own understanding." Liu Cheng'an did not waste time and started to explain directly.

After saying that, Liu Cheng'an danced with his two swords, and the fallen leaves in the City God Temple fluttered along.

The Liu family's swordsmanship was indeed exquisite, completely different from Yang Jin's swordsmanship. The moves were grand and vigorous yet delicate, leaving Mu Yang stunned.

Others may not be able to see so many tricks in Liu Chengan's swordsmanship after seeing it, but Mu Yang has used a sword and has experienced actual combat, so he knows the importance of a good swordsmanship to himself.

For Mu Yang at this stage, the Liu family's swordsmanship is as helpful as the Ni Ling Jian.

Mu Yang watched Aunt Liu tumbling up and down in front of him, with some unexpected moves emerging one after another, and his excitement was beyond words. The scimitar seemed to be unable to hold back and was about to jump out of Mu Yang's hand.

Mu Yang knew that it was not the sword that was rushing out, but himself. He was too eager for this sword technique and wanted to learn it right now.

Just when Mu Yang was excited, Liu Cheng'an had finished his demonstration and walked in front of Mu Yang with an unsatisfied expression.

"How is it? Is my Liu family's swordsmanship much stronger than the Yang family's swordsmanship?" Aunt Liu asked Mu Yang while panting slightly.

Mu Yang nodded dully. He no longer knew how to answer Aunt Liu and could only respond mechanically.

"Alas, this girl Xiaojiao refuses to learn swordsmanship and insists on learning swordsmanship from Yang Jin." Liu Cheng'an sighed.

Seeing that Mu Yang didn't react, Liu Cheng'an continued, "Xiao Jiao begged me this morning to teach you swordsmanship, saying that if you learn our Liu family swordsmanship, you will definitely be able to defeat Yang Jin."

Defeat Yang Jin? How is this possible? He is in the Qi Realm. Yang Jiao is really good at exaggeration. Mu Yang thought speechlessly.

"However, if Xiaojiao doesn't learn it, this sword technique will be lost. Teaching it to you now can be considered a part of the inheritance," Liu Cheng'an continued.

"Don't worry, Aunt Liu, I will learn well. The Liu family's swordsmanship is really powerful." Mu Yang said excitedly.

Liu Chengan smiled, put his arm around Mu Yang's shoulder and said, "Well, you don't have to call me Master. After all, he will be my son-in-law in the future, and my Liu family swordsmanship is not considered a secret. Haha..."
