I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 126 Yan Chuyu

"You guessed it, so I won't introduce myself. Come on, let's fight!"

Yan Chuyu was not surprised that Wu Ming recognized her at a glance. She raised her snow-white chin at Wu Ming, drew her sword with a clang, and spoke with high spirits.

Wu Ming glanced at Yan Chuyu. Although she was a top talent among the younger generation of the Demon Suppression Division, and her background was such that no one in the entire Jingye City region dared to provoke her, and she was more than a year older than him, she was quite petite and had a baby face. If you ignored her thick aura, she would look like a tender girl of sixteen or seventeen.

There was something strange about this little girl, so eagerly brandishing her sword and challenging him to a duel.

"Isn't this bad?"

Wu Ming looked at Yan Chuyu, who had drawn her sword, and said.

"What's wrong with it? Are you scared?"

Yan Chuyu, holding her sword, winked at Wu Ming and said, "It's alright, I can let you win. Among the younger generation of the two divisions, there are only two people who can beat me. It's not shameful for you to lose to me."

Seeing that Wu Ming remained unmoved, Yan Chuyu grew anxious and pouted, saying, "You're Lord Liu's personal disciple, you can't be so timid, can you? I just want to see what kind of skills that Lord Liu's personal disciple has. How about you fight me, and I'll protect you here from now on..."

Speaking of which,

But something felt off. Wu Ming was Liu Muyuan's protégé, and his background was no less impressive than hers.

"Since Miss Chuyu is so hospitable, then I shall gladly oblige. Let us spar a little and stop when we've reached our limit."

Looking at the petite girl in front of him, who seemed to be obsessed with martial arts, and who was impatient but was holding back from attacking with her sword, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel amused. He chuckled and said...

"it is good!"

"This is right!"

"You are the personal disciple of that Lord Liu. This time you leave the mountain, you must fight against all the heroes from all walks of life."

When Yan Chuyu heard Wu Ming agree, she immediately smiled, picked up her sword, took a few steps back, and said, "Go get your weapon. I'll wait for you here. Let's start right here."

Wu Ming chuckled inwardly and shook his head, then turned and went into the tent, pulling out his black iron spear and saying:
"please."

"I'm your senior, so I'll let you go first."

With a clang, Yan Chuyu drew her sword and gestured with her chin toward Wu Ming.

Wu Ming shook his head slightly and said, "No need, we can attack together."

"Hmm... I understand a man's competitive spirit, but if you don't make the first move, it will be very difficult."

Yan Chuyu gave an "I understand" look, and then her entire demeanor suddenly changed. Her previous impatient and arrogant appearance disappeared completely, replaced by an extremely sharp and serious gaze. It was as if she had suddenly transformed from a petite and tender-looking girl into a general with a fierce aura who had just stepped out of the battlefield.

Swish!
The next moment, she swung her horizontal sword and unleashed a "Thousand Mountains Overlapping Peaks" strike, slashing down at Wu Ming.

This sword technique is fierce and swift. When the sword is slashed down, it is as if a thousand mountains are reflected in the water. Although the person wielding the sword is petite, the way the sword falls gives people a sense of overwhelming and majestic pressure.

"Good sword skills."

Wu Ming did not underestimate Yan Chuyu. In fact, if we were to simply compare martial arts skills, Yan Chuyu was a formidable opponent to him. With just this one move, the strength she displayed was in no way inferior to Shen Lian's back then.

With a flick of his wrist, he thrust upwards and leaped forward in a flurry of spear thrusts. As the spear trembled, it seemed to multiply into several spearheads, each point of sharpness like a star. This strike clashed with Yan Chuyu's downward slash, creating a dense, metallic clang that was even more rapid than the playing of a pipa.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Yan Chuyu initially held Wu Ming in slightly contempt, after all, Wu Ming had only recently become famous, had only recently entered the third stage of Blood Condensation, and had not long been accepted as a personal disciple by Liu Muyuan. However, after just this one exchange, Yan Chuyu instantly realized that Wu Ming was in no way inferior to her in terms of moves and strength, and was definitely a formidable opponent among the younger generation.

Ding ding dong dong!

When Yan Chuyu's first move failed, she changed the direction of her horizontal sword, gripping it with both hands, and used the "Water Vortex Transformation" move. The move instantly transformed from fierce to extremely soft. The originally tough blade of the horizontal sword seemed to have turned into soft silk, which was impossible to cut or untangle. She circled around Wu Ming's spear and slid down to get close.

Wu Ming remained calm, lightly stepped with his left foot, and exerted a slight force with his right hand, also unleashing a "lingering force," a soft force technique in spear fighting. His spear trembled, meeting softness with softness, and after a nimble collision, Yan Chuyu was sent flying.

"awesome."

Yan Chuyu's two attacks, one forceful and one gentle, failed to gain any advantage, and she secretly thought to herself how impressive it was. Her eyes became serious and focused, and she exerted force with her feet, her figure becoming elusive as she ran around Wu Ming.

Originally, her petite stature was a disadvantage in head-on confrontations, but precisely because of this, she had an advantage in agility. At this moment, Yan Chuyu used a movement technique called "Dragonfly Skimming Water," which made her feet almost never touch the ground. Her figure would pause and flash, circling around to avoid a direct confrontation with Wu Ming's spear. Instead, she would constantly circle around and weave, looking for Wu Ming's weaknesses.

Once you reach the level of three blood coagulations and the unity of skill and technique, the advantage of long-range weapons in spear fighting gradually diminishes. The higher you go in martial arts cultivation, the more your various skills and techniques will become equal.

Swish!Swish!
Despite Yan Chuyu's agile attacks, Wu Ming remained unmoved. With his keen senses, he knew that this kind of shifting movement, with its three feints and one real attack, was largely ineffective against him. He could clearly perceive it all. However, at this moment, he was focused on honing his skills and didn't use his senses. Instead, he wielded his spear like a curtain of light and shadow, impenetrable and completely blocking out all directions. No matter how agile Yan Chuyu's movements were, leaping and turning, she could never find an opening and couldn't break through the spear's circle.

……

Here

When Wu Ming and Yan Chuyu started fighting, the clash between these two young prodigies who had reached the third stage of Blood Condensation naturally caused quite a stir, quickly attracting the attention of many people in the camp. Many people came out of their tents to watch the two fight from afar.

In front of a certain camp, Wang Wuzheng was there. He looked towards the direction where Wu Ming and Yan Chuyu were fighting. Seeing the two locked in a fierce battle, neither able to gain the upper hand, he couldn't help but frown.

"Wu Ming..."

"He has grown so fast, and his strength has reached this level."

His premonition was correct. Long ago, he felt that there was something inexplicable about Wu Ming. If it wasn't dealt with soon, it could become a big problem in the future. Now his premonition has come true.

Because Wu Ming was taken in as a disciple by Liu Muyuan, even his father had to temporarily put aside the Wang family's reputation and seek reconciliation with Wu Ming. And now, in just a few months, Wu Ming's strength is almost on par with Yan Chuyu's!

Yan Chuyu's strength is comparable to his, which means that Wu Ming has now become a formidable opponent that is not easy to defeat, even compared to him. This rate of growth is truly astonishing.

"That guy Shen Lian shouldn't have asked him to take action in the first place."

Wang Wuzheng's gaze was gloomy.

It was because Shen Lian had somehow gone missing that Wu Ming had survived until now and become a huge problem. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have hesitated so much and should have taken care of Wu Ming himself.

Although Wu Ming had some skills back then, they were far less than they are now. Even if it displeased Liu Muyuan afterward, the impact wouldn't be too great; at most, he would only receive some punishment.

the other side.

On a low slope, Ning Bufan, carrying a long spear, gazed into the direction of the camp.

"Good marksmanship."

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He had been slightly surprised when he first heard that Wu Ming had mastered the art of unifying skills at the age of twenty, but since Wu Ming had only reached the second stage of blood clotting, he did not pay much attention to it. Now, however, Wu Ming had truly grown up and was already a qualified whetstone in his eyes.

Ning Bufan was not far from the fourth level of Blood Coagulation. Watching Wu Ming and Yan Chuyu fight, a fighting spirit rose in his heart. He felt that if he could fight Wu Ming and use Wu Ming's spear to hone his own skills, and win the battle, he would definitely gain a deeper understanding of spear techniques. Soon he might be able to take a step into the fourth level of Blood Coagulation and enter a higher stage.

……

The center of Dazhai.

In the main account.

Two figures sat facing each other.

One of them was Liu Muyuan, the head of the Cautious Punishment Division, and the other was Yan Yuntian, the head of the Demon Suppression Division!
The two sat facing each other, teacups on a table in front of them. Neither spoke nor looked around, but they could sense the movements in the distant camp.

“This boy’s talent is indeed remarkable. He has been able to fight Chu Yu in a short period of time. However, his blood condensation aptitude is somewhat lacking. He may be able to reach the fourth level of blood condensation in the future, but it will be extremely difficult for him to cross the threshold of the fifth level. You have always had very high standards. You didn’t even think much of that kid Ling Zhonghan. Why did you choose him as your disciple?”

Yan Yuntian picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said leisurely.

"Since you know that I have very high standards, then the disciples I choose will naturally be extraordinary."

Liu Muyuan spoke leisurely.

"Oh?"

A glint flashed in Yan Yuntian's eyes as he revealed a thoughtful expression. He then changed the subject and said, "Fellow Daoist Ziyuan's disciple is indeed quite skilled. Disciples from both the Black Fiend and Xuanyu sects have suffered at her hands. I think Fellow Daoist Ziyuan wants her to use the younger generation of Jingye region to hone an invincible Dao heart."

"That might be a bit difficult."

Liu Muyuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said in a casual tone.

Yan Yuntian seemed to understand, and stopped talking about the younger generation. Instead, he said, "The commotion in the Desolate Region is quite significant. The spiritualization is spreading, and the demon race's actions will likely become more frequent. However, the spread of spiritualization will also create many rare resources. I reckon that if things develop further, the cities of Jingyu and Jinglan will probably become restless, and the capital may even send people. At that time, the Jingye City region will be quite lively."

"If things continue to develop like this in the desolate region, it's only a matter of time. Let's just wait and see."

Liu Muyuan responded calmly.
