My sister is Luna

"Dengdengdeng-"

Two lithe figures moved swiftly among the rooftops like the wind.

"Li Bai, stop! Are you a coward if you don't dare to fight fair and square?!" Miyamoto Musashi shouted, while unleashing a fierce sword strike.

Li Bai easily dodged to the side, his steps never faltering, and said with a displeased expression:

"I don't have time for you right now. I have other important matters to attend to. My friend, how about we fight another day? I, Li Bai, will definitely give it my all and fight you to my heart's content then!"

"No, the sword has been drawn; there is no reason to withdraw it without a fight."

"Miyamoto Musashi said. At this moment, his mind was filled with intense fighting spirit, leaving him no room to think about anything else. He only wanted to determine who was superior to this unique sword intent."

"So there's no room for negotiation anymore?"

"Exactly."

"Tsk, what a troublesome guy, I have to get rid of him." Li Bai ran, his mind racing.

"Hey ha!" Miyamoto Musashi shouted, and with a powerful slash, a strong sword aura was released. This time, he was not aiming at Li Bai, but at the thick wooden pole in front of him.

With a crisp "crack," the wooden pole fell, blocking Li Bai's path. Li Bai had no choice but to stop, turn around with his sword, and block the long blade of Miyamoto Musashi, who had caught up with him.

The blades clashed, and the immense force caused them to rub against each other violently, instantly sparking dazzling sparks.

"I won't let you escape again." Miyamoto Musashi pressed his sword down on Li Bai.

Li Bai used the momentum to deflect Miyamoto Musashi's sword strike, then stepped back, attempting to create distance between them.

Miyamoto Musashi was not about to let him have his way. He slashed horizontally with his long sword, colliding with Li Bai's longsword again. He seized the opportunity to entangle Li Bai, and his sword moves were as continuous as a storm.

Li Bai dodged Miyamoto Musashi's fierce attacks, occasionally using his longsword to defend against Miyamoto Musashi's attacks on vital points.

Not wanting to get entangled with Miyamoto Musashi any longer, Li Bai kept looking for an opportunity to escape. After dodging another sword strike, he swiftly slashed his longsword at the ground, kicking up clouds of dust in an attempt to obscure Miyamoto Musashi's vision.

Miyamoto Musashi instinctively closed his eyes and raised his long sword to protect himself from Li Bai's attack.

Taking this opportunity, Li Bai swung his sword and turned to leave.

"Ha, that's great, then I won't hold back anymore."

Miyamoto Musashi shouted excitedly, his fighting spirit soaring. The fierce sword-to-sword duel made his blood boil, and he chased after Li Bai without hesitation.

Miyamoto Musashi used the Niten Ichi-ryu technique, drawing his short sword. Powerful martial arts energy adhered to the sword, causing it to emit a shimmering blue and yellow light.

As Li Bai was running at full speed, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger coming from behind. He saw two sword energies, one yellow and one blue, rushing towards him with even greater force than before.

He bent down and twisted to dodge, and two sword energies struck the house fiercely. The house collapsed instantly as if it were made of paper, raising thick clouds of dust.

Two more sword energies struck, and Li Bai dodged again, causing another house to collapse.

"Ha!" Watching Li Bai's retreating figure, Miyamoto Musashi unleashed two more sharp sword strikes.

"Hey." Li Bai jumped, turned around, and pushed the flying sword energy to both sides with his feet, causing two more houses to collapse.

Stepping on the collapsing debris of the house, Miyamoto Musashi leaped into the air, sword in hand, and slammed down towards Li Bai.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Bai turned around and then spun again, kicking Miyamoto Musashi in the abdomen as he flew towards him. He pushed him backward and used the rebound force to dash forward again.

"Ugh!" Miyamoto Musashi was caught off guard and fell into the dust storm kicked up by the collapsing building.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; the house collapsed with a tremendous sound, which was exceptionally clear in the stillness of the night.

"Come on, Yuanfang, something's happened outside!" Inside the Dali Temple, the door was kicked open with a bang, and Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang ran out to check the situation.

"It's you, Li Bai!" Di Renjie exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey hey hey."

As soon as Li Bai landed on a rooftop, he bumped into Di Renjie below. Startled, he gave an awkward laugh and then ran toward the approaching door.

"Chase!"

As the magistrate, Di Renjie would not allow anyone to disrupt Chang'an or disturb the curfew. Li Bai had just arrived in Chang'an and had already caused such a commotion. Seeing that he wanted to escape, he was a typical fugitive who was afraid of punishment. Di Renjie would not let him off easily. So, Di Renjie gave an order and took Li Yuanfang to chase after him.

I just dealt with one, and now two more troublesome people have appeared.

Li Bai sighed inwardly.

"Halt, Li Bai! You are under arrest in His Majesty's name!" Di Renjie shouted. He instantly threw the token in his hand, which flew towards Li Bai's feet.

Li Bai couldn't dodge in time. The explosion of the token beneath his feet sent him flying. His longsword and cube key fell from his hands. The longsword stuck in the eaves, and the cube key landed right next to it.

Li Bai tumbled toward the other side of the roof. He quickly swung his arms to steady himself and prevent himself from falling.

"Capture without mercy!"

Di Renjie had already caught up, sliding rapidly towards Li Bai on the roof tiles, his token already poised to be used.

Li Bai stepped on the roof tile and jumped high into the air. His feet landed on Di Renjie's shoulders, and with a kick, Di Renjie was thrown into the air as he slid along the tile.

Having no leverage, Di Renjie fell straight down, landing face-first on the ground.

"Lord Di!" Li Yuanfang called out anxiously from behind.

At this moment, Li Bai and Li Yuanfang were standing on opposite sides of the roof, in a straight line, with the longsword and the cube between them.

"I won't let you succeed."

Seeing Li Bai looking at the longsword and the cube, Li Yuanfang threw two darts and ran towards the longsword.

Li Bai rushed over while nimbly dodging to the side.

Li Yuanfang grabbed the two darts that Li Bai had dodged, and they flew back, aiming for his back.

Li Bai once again bent over and dodged.

The two darts flew back to Li Yuanfang's hand, which he combined into one large dart and threw at Li Bai.

Li Bai leaned back at a ninety-degree angle, narrowly avoiding the dart, and in the instant he stood up, he threw his wine gourd at Li Yuanfang.

"Ugh!" The pungent smell of the alcohol startled Li Yuanfang.

Li Bai jumped, drew his long sword, and pressed it against Li Yuanfang's chin.

Li Yuanfang was so frightened that he dared not move, but in reality he was secretly controlling the large dart that had been launched.

"Little kid, you're still too green." Li Bai chuckled softly, slightly shifting his body as the large dart flew past him, almost grazing his body.

The strong swirling gust of wind knocked Li Yuanfang down.

They also took the cube key with them.

The cube key rolled a few times on the ground before being stepped on by a foot.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I greatly admire this proverb from the East, and gunpowder too—I absolutely love that stuff. Well then, I'll accept this key without hesitation," a cloaked figure appeared out of nowhere, speaking smugly.

He took out a cube that looked exactly like a key from his pocket, preparing to switch it with another key; everything was going according to plan.

Suddenly, his wrist, which was holding the fake cube key, was grabbed by a stranger who emerged from the shadows. The cloaked man froze, his pupils contracted sharply, and he was surprised.

"Hey, brother, this isn't something you can take, right, Marco Polo?" The young man in the Taoist robe chuckled kindly, his hand gripping Marco's tightly like an iron clamp.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
