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

Just as Helian Yun Shen lowered his head to examine the footprints on the ground, a sense of danger came from behind him. This sense of danger instantly made Helian Yun Shen extremely vigilant, and he used his lightness skill to move.

It leaps up from the ground like a spring shoot rising from dry land.

The moment I turned around in mid-air, I could clearly see who was behind me.

He was dressed in white and held a white short blade.

His face was covered by a veil, and his eyes revealed an icy indifference. At the same time, you could clearly see the clothes he was wearing.

The character "night" was embroidered on the clothes.

"Assassin Nightblade?"

He recited the man's name in the martial arts world.

Nightblade ignored Helian Yun Shen's voice and instantly changed the direction of his attack, continuing to strike Helian Yun Shen in mid-air.

A red light flashed in Helian Yun Shen's eyes as he unleashed his illusion magic at Nightblade. Nightblade already knew Helian Yun Shen well, and the moment he saw Helian Yun Shen meet his gaze, he immediately closed his eyes.

This rendered the illusion prepared by Helian Yun Shen completely ineffective.

'The enemy came prepared!'

He muttered something to himself, then used his movement technique again to dodge the attack from the Nightfall Blade.

He lightly tapped the air a few times, finally landing on the tip of a tree, opening his folding fan and quietly watching the Nightfall Blade.

"Nightblade, can you tell me who sent you?"

"No comment!"

With those four simple words, Nightblade brandished his weapon and attacked Helian Yun Shen again. Helian Yun Shen placed his folding fan in front of his chest, directly blocking Nightblade's short blade, and raised his hand to unleash the Great Sun Tathagata.

Upon seeing this, Nightblade quickly used his movement technique to dodge.

He dodged Helian Yun Shen's Great Sun Tathagata, and seeing this, Helian Yun Shen pressed his advantage, moving as lightly as a swallow and as fast as the wind.

It didn't even take a breath.

The two were already very close together. A hint of panic flashed in Nightblade's eyes, but before he could make any changes, Nightblade was already in a very awkward position.

Helian Yun Shen's palm strike, unleashing the Buddha Kingdom, landed heavily on him, causing excruciating pain to churn his internal organs.

The internal energy was directly thrown into chaos.

The malfunctioning internal energy directly damaged Nightblade's meridians, causing him to spit out blood incessantly.

"Nightblade, you're not quite up to the task of killing me. I wonder if you're courting death."

Helian Yunshen said with a cold smile.

Having said that, he raised his hand and grabbed the arm holding the short blade of the Nightfall Blade, his inner energy surging.

He directly crippled Nightblade's hand.

Despite his arm being crippled, Nightblade showed no sign of pain on his face, and the coldness in his eyes showed no sign of fading.

His calm demeanor made Helian Yun Shen wary.

They were extremely cautious when they made a move against him.

Such caution was indeed wise. Nightblade suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of black liquid. This liquid was completely different from the blood it had just spat out. Helian Yun Shen, who was already on guard, saw that something was wrong and immediately retreated.

At the same time, he opened his folding fan to block the black liquid that was almost coming towards his face.

The folding fan that had been with him for several years was completely corroded by this black liquid.

All that remained were a few lonely fan ribs.

He put down his folding fan and saw Nightblade fleeing; he had already taken advantage of the moment to run some distance away.

Seeing the direction Nightblade had fled, Helian Yun Shen got up and gave chase. Suddenly, explosions occurred on both sides of the mountain, sending rocks tumbling down.

This situation completely thwarted Helian Yunshen's desire to continue the pursuit, so he simply stopped chasing.

"This Nightblade is incredibly powerful; he's definitely a master of the Free and Unfettered Realm. Moreover, he's skilled at setting traps. If I hadn't reacted quickly and been on guard, I might have been ambushed by him."

Looking at Nightblade, who had already disappeared from sight, Helian Yun Shen gave him a simple evaluation.

After saying this, he looked at the folding fan in his hand.

Some venom remained on the fan ribs, and seeing how the once flawless fan ribs were now pitted and scarred by the venom, he raised his hand and flung the folding fan away.

The folding fan was firmly embedded in the mountainside.

Let this be your final resting place!

After saying that, he left without looking back. His goal was to go to Qian Dong City to find an answer and retrieve the 10,000 taels of gold that Wen Hujiu had promised him.

How could you abandon it like this!

…………

Chasing after them with all our might

In just over half a day, Helian Yun Shen arrived at Qian Dong City. Helian Yun Shen arrived just in time to see Wen Hu Jiu and the others entering Qian Dong City.

Wen Hujiu noticed Helian Yunshen's arrival, said something to his nephew, and then left temporarily.

"Why did Young Master Helian catch up like this? Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Wen Hujiu approached Helian Yunshen and asked him a question. Helian Yunshen turned to look at Wen Hujiu and calmly replied.

"I'm here to collect my share of the money. This is the reward the Wen family is paying me, and I won't give up what's rightfully mine."

After all, venturing into the martial world alone, one is always short of money.

"Don't worry, we won't shortchange Young Master Helian on the money we promised. We can just go to the Zhenxi Marquis's residence in Qiandong City to get the money. My brother-in-law's family can afford it."

Wenhu Jiu had no intention of paying that much money himself; after all, it was all spent to settle things for his nephew.

Naturally, my brother-in-law's family would have to pay for it.

"If your sister and brother-in-law hear what you're thinking, won't they blame you for spending so much money to hire me?"

"It's well worth it to befriend Young Master Helian with this little bit of money."

Wenhujiu smiled and replied to Helian Yunshen.

After speaking, Wen Hujiu looked at Helian Yunshen and spoke again.

"Young Master Helian, please don't let your relationship with Dongjun break down. Dongjun is unaware of this."

As the uncle, Wen Hujiu was extremely worried about his nephew, Helian Yunshen, and he was very concerned about the hard-won friendship between them.

That's what caused their falling out.

"Our friendship won't change. If he gets into trouble, just let me know and I'll help. After all, I'm a normal person and I can tell right from wrong."

She's also quite sensible.

As Helian Yun Shen pondered Wen Hu Jiu's words, he felt that Wen Hu Jiu was overthinking things. Even if it were true, he wouldn't hold a grudge against anyone else.

It can only be said that the fate was not right or that the fate had run its course.

It's not because of anyone else.
