Chapter 712 The Second Sword
After only a brief fight, Wu Yan realized something was wrong.

Chu Xianghong's whip skills are certainly exquisite and domineering, but they are not invincible.

What's really weird is that she knows her sword skills like the back of her hand!

This is almost impossible.

The Xiyu Pavilion sword technique was carefully honed by the Black Hat people. It goes against all the sword moves circulating in the martial arts world. It can even be said to be another level of "knowing a hundred sword techniques".

Hua Xincheng, who created this sword technique, has been studying sword techniques in the world with Jiang Baichuan since he was young. What he knows and understands is no weaker than Jiang Baichuan, and even his cultivation level is almost the same. This unnamed sword technique he created is not only strange, but also extremely difficult to grasp.

Apart from the most direct and efficient assassination, once involved in a fight, this sword technique is completely counter-intuitive.

This was the reason why Fu Qingzhou had a strange feeling when he first fought Wu Yan, as if he had no strength to use and no moves to perform.

It can hit up and down, left and right, and the assassins from Xiyu Pavilion never dodge or evade except for fatal injuries. Wu Yan is extremely good at exchanging injuries for lives, so this set of swordsmanship is enough to confuse 99% of the opponents.

You should have dodged the blow and stabbed me at the flaw I deliberately left, but why did you use your own flesh and blood to resist? And you stabbed my foot for no reason? Did my foot offend you?

Most people who have fought against the Xiyu Pavilion killer have had similar thoughts.

But Chu Xianghong didn't seem panicked at all.

No matter how strange and counterintuitive Wu Yan's sword moves were, she seemed to have anticipated them. The wave-turning whip was extremely flexible, and no matter where the pointed iron rod stabbed, she could accurately stop in advance and use restraining moves.

After only ten or so rounds of fighting, Wu Yan had three severe wounds on his body.

As for Chu Xianghong, she didn't even let him touch the corner of her clothes.

Ding!
With a crisp sound, Wu Yange fired a whip and took several steps back to the table, frowning slightly.

"Ah."

Chu Xianghong was not in a hurry to chase him. She stretched out her hand, put the long whip back into her sleeve, and smiled calmly: "Wu Yan is nothing more than that."

"...You are that lord's man." Wu Yan said.

Chu Xianghong raised her eyebrows.

"You know my sword moves so well, but the people from Xiyu Pavilion are all dead. And I have fought many battles with the people from Wuli Village, and they don't have this ability."

Wu Yan said calmly: "Then there is only one possibility, you are the master's man, Your Excellency, the Black Hat people, they have long left the Xiyu Pavilion sword moves to you."

"In that case, I won't play riddles with you anymore."

Chu Xianghong smiled and said, "Xiyu Pavilion is gone, but the lord needs a new Xiyu Pavilion, and you are an excellent candidate - the lord can forget about everything in the past, and everything in the new Xiyu Pavilion will be under your control..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhu Mei and said, "If you want to support a woman, then support her. If you want to do anything, then do it. Except for some important tasks, you can do anything."

"I see."

Wu Yan nodded slightly: "Tongtian Sect is yours. I went to Tongtian Sect to kill them, but my whereabouts were exposed and I was discovered by you. This place is far away in the Western Regions, so I came to you..."

As he spoke, he suddenly asked, "Didn't Your Excellency escape? Why don't you go look for him?"

Hearing this question, a gloomy and helpless look flashed across Chu Xianghong's eyes.

But soon, she smiled again: "As long as you become one of us, these will naturally not be secrets."

Wu Yan frowned and fell into deep thought.

If Fu Qingzhou saw this scene, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat.

Because, Wu Yan might really agree.

No, it’s not just possible, it’s very, very likely!

For him, it doesn’t matter whether there is Xiyu Pavilion or not, what to do is not important, and how to do it is even less important.

But Zhu Mei was very important. He "woke up" because of Zhu Mei. As long as he could ensure her safety and be with her, other so-called morals and etiquette were bullshit.

"Are you excited?"

Seeing Wu Yan's hesitation, Chu Xianghong smiled even more brightly: "Come back with me, and we'll talk in detail?"

Wu Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "No."

Chu Xianghong's smile froze, her eyes slightly stern: "Why?"

"Do what you promised."

Wu Yan spoke with some difficulty. It was obvious that it was not easy for him to reason: "Fu Qingzhou promised to take care of Amei for me, and he did it; then I promised him to atone for my sins, and I have to do it too."

Chu Xianghong's smile slowly faded.

She didn't ask any more questions because Wu Yan had made a decision and would not change it.

This point has been verified by the former Lord of Xiyu Pavilion.

"In this case."

She shook her head, with a hint of pity in her slightly curled lips, and whispered, "Just go and die."

There was a loud snap, that was the sound of the long steel whip rubbing against the air and being whipped hard!

Wu Yan did not dare to be negligent. He stepped forward and picked up his stick to fight again.

But perhaps because they were too close to the table, even though he blocked the whip, the tip of the whip still hooked on the table, breaking a few lamb ribs, and splattering meat scraps and oil stains all over Zhu Mei.

Zhu Mei also stopped eating and raised her head in confusion and nervousness.

At this time, Wu Yan was fighting with Chu Xianghong again.

For a moment, tables and chairs flew around and the sound of dishes breaking could be heard everywhere.

The iron rods and steel whips kept intertwining and colliding in the air, the air was almost torn into pieces, and the strong wind stirred up circles of ripples visible to the naked eye.

As before, although Wu Yan's swordsmanship was strange and unpredictable, Chu Xianghong knew his every move very well, and was always able to predict it in advance and respond with a more fierce counterattack.

In a short while, Wu Yan was at a disadvantage again. Although he still had a blank expression on his face, the scars on his body were increasing. The blood had already dyed his clothes red, and one could even see the white bones under the flesh torn by the steel whip.

As another sword move was dodged, the steel whip also twisted towards his neck fiercely.

Such a heavy and sharp whip, once it is strangled, it can pull off his head immediately!
But this time, Wu Yan did not dodge and continued to move forward!
Chu Xianghong narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but her movements did not slow down at all, and she decided to kill Wu Yan without hesitation.

But at this moment, Wu Yan suddenly spoke.

"Step back sideways, slide your right foot diagonally three feet, use the power of your waist to swing the whip, your arm is one foot and eight feet long, and sweep the whip horizontally. My body is in front of me, where should I go?"

He read this passage very quickly, so quickly that it was almost impossible for others to hear it clearly. He had finished reading while the whip was still in the air.

But Zhu Mei understood, and after listening, she also got the answer.

"here!"

She exclaimed briskly.

The next moment, another pointed iron rod was handed out from the side of Wu Yan's ribs, silently, raised up, and pierced Chu Xianghong's wrist!
At the same time, Wu Yan lowered his body slightly and dodged the steel whip that was heading towards his neck as best he could - but he didn't avoid it completely, as the whip rolled onto his cheek, climbed up to his ears, and hooked his scalp.

But the tip of the iron rod in his hand had already pierced Chu Xianghong's heart.

Chu Xianghong's pupils dilated greatly at this moment.

Even someone like her who knew everything about Xiyu Pavilion's swordsmanship did not expect that Wu Yan would have a second sword.
