The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

After exchanging pleasantries, Lei Mengsha returned to normal and continued to entertain the guests at her home. Soon it was time for the dinner party.

Lei Mengsha held a grand banquet at his mansion, inviting his guests to his home. Lei Mengsha, who loved to drink, got quite drunk on this night.

After it ended, I was helped back to my dormitory.

Compared to Lei Mengsha, who was completely drunk as a host, Helian Yunshen also drank quite a bit, but much less than Lei Mengsha.

I was only slightly drunk.

Staying in the guest room arranged for him by Lei Mengsha, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and quietly comprehended the path of martial arts.

…………

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for Helian Yun Shen and Dai Qian to meet. The arena for the life and death duel had already been cleared out by Dai Qian.

Although those martial artists who resolved conflicts here were dissatisfied, they suppressed their discontent when they thought of Dai Qian's father and his family's situation.

Meanwhile, they stayed here to watch the battle that was about to begin.

"I heard that this is a feud between the rising star of the martial arts world, Young Master Huanyin Helian Yunshen, and the young master of the Dai family. I wonder if it's true or not?"

"Young Master Huanyin? I've heard he's a master of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. Wouldn't the young Marquis of the Dai family be courting death if he went up against him?"

"What are you thinking! Of course it's not the young master of the Dai family fighting against Young Master Huanyin. I heard it's someone the young master of the Dai family hired to fight against Young Master Huanyin."

I wonder how the battle will turn out!

The group, who were waiting there to observe the battle, discussed the situation while eagerly anticipating its start.

"so many people?"

Looking at the number of people on the dueling arena, Helian Yun Shen was a little surprised and shy, reluctant to step forward. Lei Meng Sha, seeing Helian Yun Shen's shy demeanor, patted him on the shoulder.

"Yun Shen, it's been a year since I last saw you, and your shy personality hasn't changed at all!"

"I just don't like crowds."

Faced with Lei Mengsha's words, Helian Yunshen replied with a slightly embarrassed expression. Just as he finished replying, he heard a series of caws like crows, and turning around, he saw Dai Qian leading a group of people over.

The spectacle they created was very lively, but also very unpleasant.

"Yun Shen, should I step in? This guy wouldn't dare disobey me!"

Seeing Dai Qian's irritating demeanor, Xiao Ruofeng, who had come along, spoke to Helian Yun Shen. Helian Yun Shen refused his offer and then stepped over the onlookers to enter the dueling arena.

"Ruofeng, don't worry. Yun Shen is very strong. As long as the difference isn't too great, Yun Shen can easily handle it."

Luo Xuan replied to Xiao Ruofeng.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the old man in his fifties or sixties who was standing next to Dai Qian took up a long sword and went up to the dueling arena. Although the old man had gray hair and looked frail, his eyes were still sharp and spirited, like those of an eagle.

"Young man, I originally had no interest in coming. It's just that the young master of the Dai family has given me too much, so don't blame me when I die."

The old man who went up on stage spoke to Helian Yun Shen with an arrogant demeanor, as if the outcome and life or death had already been decided at this moment.

It was as if Helian Yun Shen was destined to die on the stage.

"Who wins and who loses, who lives and who dies, is all uncertain. We should wait until we are alive to say such things."

He raised his hand and pointed the jade flute at the old man, his words showing no respect for him whatsoever; such an opponent was not worthy of respect.

"You little brat, you're so quick to talk! Today I'll show you that even though we're both in the Free and Unfettered Realm, my Free and Unfettered Realm is several years older than yours and is not something you can compare to."

He scoffed and said it with great disdain.

The next moment, he raised his long sword and attacked, and the battle began instantly.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the long sword slashed down towards Helian Yunshen.

Facing the longsword, Helian Yun Shen used his footwork to dodge. His figure was like a ghost, dodging the attack just before it came down.

The moment he dodged, a glint of light flashed in Helian Yun Shen's eyes, and the next instant, six figures of Helian Yun Shen appeared on the stage. All of them were indistinguishable from the real ones.

"How is this going?"

"This is Young Master Huanyin's unique attack method. We should all be caught in Young Master Huanyin's moves, which is why we are seeing this scene on the stage."

In the crowd

Various noises arose here.

On stage

The old man, Helian Yun Shen, displayed martial arts with a completely different expression. The casual, effortless look on his face was gone, replaced by a tense one.

Holding a long sword, he surveyed the so-called Helian Yun Shen surrounding him.

The six figures standing silently on the stage launched an attack on the old man simultaneously in an instant, swinging their fists at him.

"I didn't expect that Yun Shen would have made some progress in martial arts after not seeing him for a year!"

"Yes! Yun Shen's martial arts are indeed very powerful, but he's not very good at close combat. I was worried that he would get entangled with someone and that his martial arts wouldn't be able to be used properly."

It seems I was overthinking it.

"I wonder how well Yun Shen has mastered these martial arts techniques after a year of dedicated study?"

Lei Mengsha and the other two looked at Helian Yun Shen with the air of elder brothers, and said these words of concern for Helian Yun Shen with great satisfaction.

On stage

The old man attacked from all directions, wielding his long sword and using himself as a focal point to launch a circular attack around his body.

The long sword, gleaming with a cold light, landed on Helian Yun Shen's body. The sword merely grazed their bodies, yet not a drop of blood was drawn.

The so-called wound healed very quickly and directly.

"Impossible, why isn't the real body inside?"

The attack was launched, but upon discovering that Helian Yun Shen's true form was not present, they were shocked and uttered words of disbelief.

Despite their disbelief, the fists continued to approach the old man, leaving him with no choice but to focus his efforts on breaking through in one direction.

The long sword was wielded, breaking through Helian Yunshen's encirclement.

At the same time, he was also attacked by other Helian Yun Shens. He suppressed the surging blood and qi in his body and quickly distanced himself from these Helian Yun Shens.

The moment it landed,

They stopped wielding their longswords to attack and shifted their focus from preemptive strikes to primarily defensive maneuvers.

"If you can't break this move of mine, you'll be the one who dies. Have you figured out how to counter it?"

The six Helian Yun Shen spoke to the old man simultaneously.

Hearing Helian Yunshen's words, the old man could only try to find a way to break the deadlock.
