The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 9 A Thief Comes at Night

"Master Yue, you have to make the decision for me!"

"That group of strong men who appeared out of nowhere occupied Qinglan Mountain and went down the mountain to rob and kill people. Not only did they rob my trucks of goods, they also killed the people who were escorting the goods. I finally managed to escape and came back to tell me, and then I knew what was going on."

The businessman named Hou cried in front of Yue Buqun with tears and snot, looking as sad as a big baby.

It's no wonder that he was so sad. Not to mention the lost goods, even the compensation for the casualties of the escort personnel would be enough to make him bleed heavily.

Yue Buqun listened patiently, his face became serious, and he said solemnly: "Brother Hou, don't worry. Yue Buqun brought his disciples down the mountain this time to punish the evil, eliminate the bandits, and restore the innocence of this area. If they don't sell your goods, maybe they can help you get some back."

The businessman surnamed Hou said happily: "Master Yue is a martial arts master, and his disciples are all talented. With Master Yue's words, I feel much more at ease."

So, let’s continue drinking and eating!

During this time, Yue Buqun asked about some news about the strong men in Qinglan Mountain. The Hou family member only said that the fellow who escaped back was in a panic and had no time to count how many bandits there were. He only knew that at that time, with a whistling sound in the forest, countless strong men rushed out from all directions, holding knives and swords, killing anyone they saw, extremely cruel and terrifying.
By the time we had eaten and drunk our fill, it was already dark outside.

The Huashan Sect and others happened to rest overnight at Mr. Hou's house. They set out the next morning to suppress the bandits in Qinglan Mountain, dozens of miles away.

That night, it was approaching midnight.
Outside Mr. Hou's house, two men in black suddenly came. They were dressed in night clothes and had black scarves covering their faces, leaving only two sparkling eyes visible.

One of them held a knife and the other held a sword. They looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.

"There's news that Yue Buqun of the Huashan Sect brought a group of disciples into the city and moved into this house!"

"Let's find out tonight and see if we can secretly capture a Huashan disciple and interrogate him."

"That Yue Buqun is known as the Gentleman Sword. In the past two years, he has killed many well-known fighters in my underworld. How can he be easy to deal with?"

"What are you afraid of? Those are mostly rumors spread by people in the martial arts world, praising Yue Buqun as a powerful person. It is still unknown how good his actual martial arts skills are."

"Humph, if we didn't know, the leader wouldn't have sent us here to test the waters. I think we should be cautious and keep watch, and don't act on our own."

"You are such a noisy fellow. Forget it. You stay outside and wait for surveillance. I will go in and investigate first. With my light body skill of 'Flying Hawk', I can escape unscathed even if I meet Yue Buqun!"

"No."

The other person shouted and tried to stop him, but the man in black holding the sword had already risen from the ground, lightly jumped over the four-meter-high wall, and landed silently in the yard.

The black-clothed man outside was left there, gritting his teeth and cursing, "He dares to do whatever he wants, relying on his great Qinggong skills. If he goes in this time, he might alert the enemy."

He only used the phrase "stirring up trouble" in his words, which meant that he still had some confidence in his reckless companion. He also felt that with that man's lightness skills, he would be able to escape even if he really met Yue Buqun.

The black-clothed man called "Flying Kitty" was an amazing martial artist. He rose and fell, jumped and landed silently in the large courtyard, and soon approached the side courtyard where the guests were staying.

Xu Xingchen, who had finished practicing meditation, was lying on the bed with his clothes on, sleeping. Beside him was his long sword, with the hilt at hand, ready for him to draw the sword at any time.

Master Yue Buqun has taught you some necessary cautions and measures when you are away from home.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, stood up, grabbed the sword in his hand, and gently supported himself on the bed with his other hand. His body flew over the table in the room like a wild goose and landed lightly at the door.

"I don't know who would come to disturb our rest at this late hour?!"

Since Xu Xingchen's internal strength has been improving day by day, his five senses have become more and more acute. Even when he is sleeping, he will hear in advance if someone approaches his courtyard. In the past few years, other brothers knew that he was a lonely and quiet person, so they rarely went to disturb him. Only the second brother Lao Denuo went to see him very diligently. He would go to see him a few times a year to ask him how his martial arts training was going and if he needed anything. He would bring it back when he went down the mountain, which fully reflected the love and care of a brother for the young and lonely brother in the sect.

Every time Laudeno went there, he had to tidy up the ropes and "heavy" swords in the yard in advance to prevent him from finding out anything.

Tonight, someone approached this side courtyard. He immediately noticed it and woke up from his sleep.

Lying on the crack of the door and peeking out.

Xu Xingchen's internal strength is gradually becoming stronger. Although he cannot see the night as bright as the day, it is not difficult for him to see clearly a masked night walker in black clothes under the dim starlight and moonlight.

But seeing the man in black descending from the sky and landing lightly on the roof of the house opposite, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but sneer and thought to himself, "You fell anywhere else, but you chose to land on the roof of the house where my master and mistress rest. You are like going into the toilet with a lantern, you are looking for death!"

Sure enough, after a moment, the door of the opposite room opened silently, and Yue Buqun with a few wisps of beard on his chin walked out, walked around to the corridor in the corner, then turned over and appeared on the roof.

The man in black on the roof ridge was still looking around, observing the situation in the courtyard below, when he suddenly saw a figure appear not far from him. He jumped up in fright and was about to head towards the outside of the courtyard wall.

With his arms spread out, he was like a flying kite, moving very fast in the night.

But Yue Buqun's figure was obviously faster, like a golden goose crossing the sky, and in a breath he caught up with the figure in front of him, and a cold laugh rang out in the air: "Since you are here, then stay!"

"How could it be so fast?" Fei Tian Yaozi looked back in shock, his heart sank as he saw Yue Buqun approaching quickly. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he was determined to fight to the death.

He is also a well-known gangster in the underworld. He has experienced countless life-and-death battles and has long since developed a fierce and tyrannical character. Even if he encounters a strong enemy now, he will never surrender.

With a clang, the long sword was unsheathed, turned in the air, and as the tip of the sword trembled, three or four shadows rushed towards Yue Buqun's face, throat, and chest.

Every sword strike was fierce, reckless, and filled with murderous intent that would hurt both sides.

As long as Yue Buqun retreats and avoids a little, his chances of escaping will greatly increase!
Yue Buqun snorted coldly, showing no intention of backing down. He rushed forward with the long sword in his hand with a sense of majestic artistic conception. It was his specialty, "Yangwu Sword Technique".

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The two men exchanged several quick attacks on each other on the roof ridge, under the night sky.

Feitian Yaozi's swordsmanship was swift, and he threw out more than ten swords in a row, but was defeated by Yue Buqun's seven or eight swords, leaving him in disarray.

The power of Fei Tian Yaozi's swords was actually no match for Yue Buqun's sword. He only felt a huge force rebounding from the sword. His arms trembled violently, and his body lost control. Then, he was chopped down to the ground from the air by Yue Buqun's sword.

At this time, the Huashan Sect disciples who heard the noise rushed out of the house with long swords in hand. They jumped onto the roof one by one and looked at the ground behind the house, exclaiming at the same time:

"what's the situation?"

"what's going on?"

"Someone attacked me by surprise."

Xu Xingchen mixed in with them and looked at the night walker who fell to the ground. He saw that he was unable to move and had obviously been acupunctured by Yue Buqun who was standing beside him.
