A Man in the Snow: Starting with a Sword Challenge to the Northern Liang Prince's Palace

On the official road leading to Tai'an City, a not-so-luxurious carriage was moving slowly. The only strange thing was that there was a puppet wearing armor and carrying a long sword next to the carriage, following at a leisurely pace.

Inside the carriage, Ye Yun, dressed in blood-red robes, leisurely sipped tea, a book in his hand—the very Confucian classic left by his teacher.

With his current cultivation level, he has already reached the pinnacle of the human realm. He wants to break through by comprehending the laws of this world, but he is bound by the rules of this world. Perhaps he can enhance his foundation through other means.

Take, for example, the realm of sages in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

Da da da!

The sound of rapid hoofbeats came from outside the carriage.

Looking sideways at the window to the right, he saw a man dressed in white, wearing a bamboo hat that obscured his appearance, riding a horse and quickly overtaking his carriage.

The man wearing the straw hat glanced back at Kui Xulongxiang, who was driving the carriage, and Jian Kui, who was following beside the carriage.

In the instant he turned his head, Ye Yun saw that handsome face that didn't belong to a man; it was a face that could topple kingdoms.

Ye Yun had seen many beautiful women, but this was the only one whose face made his heart flutter, especially her eyes.

Ye Yun took the initiative to speak, "Young master, it seems we are destined to meet. Why don't we come to the carriage for tea and a discussion?"

Upon hearing this, the man in white pulled on the reins, slowed his horse, and stood alongside the carriage: "No need."

Ye Yun smiled slightly, "That's quite unique."

"That's a pity!"

Ye Yun rolled down the car window and said no more.

Even if the other party has an unparalleled beauty, so what?

To him, women were nothing more than a pastime.

"drive!"

The man in white cracked his whip and rode off into the distance.

Fate is a mysterious thing.

The carriage traveled to a narrow path formed by two cliffs, creating a natural canyon. Blocking the road here would be the best choice for strongmen.

When the carriage was stopped by the puppet, they realized that there was a fight going on ahead.

To be more precise, it was a one-sided massacre by one person.

Clad in white as snow, with a slender figure, wielding two swords, one long and one short, their movements swift and precise, each strike simple yet deadly.

Its ghostly figure weaves through the crowd, and with each pause, a person dies.

Each strike was precise and deadly.

A knife that kills.

Between breaths.

The dozen or so people who surrounded him have all died.

Dressed in white, he swiftly sheathed his sword with clean, decisive movements, the moment he turned around.

Ye Yuncai finally saw her true appearance. Her face was as beautiful as jade, her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and her phoenix eyes were particularly memorable. Her fair skin was as white as the clothes she was wearing. She was too beautiful.

Yes, it can be summed up in one word: "beautiful".

"May I ask who you are? It seems we are destined to meet. Your swordsmanship is quite good."

Ye Yun asked again.

"Nangong Pu She!"

The man in white spoke calmly, then mounted his horse and continued on his way.

is her!

Ye Yun was startled.

He actually encountered this beauty. Sure enough, it was because of his appearance that Xu Xiao was killed, and Xu Fengnian's training ended prematurely.

This meant that the white-faced fox didn't encounter Xu Fengnian and therefore had no chance to enter the Listening Tide Pavilion.

"Do you want revenge?"

Ye Yun asked directly.

Nangong Pushe gripped his sword with both hands, turning warily to look at Ye Yun: "Who are you?"

"Many people call me the Great Demon, but I prefer to be called Ye Yun."

Ye Yun then gave a self-introduction.

"What? You are Ye Yun, who forcibly destroyed the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion?"

Nangong Pushe looked surprised; no wonder he was accompanied by two terrifyingly powerful puppets.

"In this world, I'm afraid no one would dare to impersonate Ye Yun." Ye Yun took a step and stood in front of Nangong Pushe.

Their eyes met, and they were only a step apart.

Nangong Pushe clenched her fists tightly, but dared not draw her sword. She had a feeling that drawing her sword would mean certain death.

Ye Yun took a step back; it was a bit impolite to observe the beautiful woman so closely.

"Would you like to hear a story? The Xie family of Jia Yang, one of the ten most powerful clans in the Spring and Autumn Period, had an eldest son named Xie Guanying, who was skilled in the struggle for Qi and destiny. His wife was not human, but rather a dragon that gathered the great fortune of the world."

When Xie Guanying transformed into a dragon, he killed his beloved wife and stole her destiny, thus escaping the calamity of national destruction and miraculously surviving. Furthermore, with the blessing of her destiny, he attained a peak level of martial arts cultivation.

Ye Yun hadn't finished speaking.

Clang!

Nangong Pushe drew his twin swords and slashed straight at Ye Yun in front of him.

Ding.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yun, forcefully blocking the twin blades. The enormous rebound force caused Nangong Pushe to stagger back several steps.

"How do you know all this so clearly?"

Looking at Xu Longxiang, the puppet beside Ye Yun, Nangong Pushe no longer had any murderous intent.

The slash just now has already proven it.

She was no match for this puppet, and the fact that Ye Yun hadn't even made a move was enough to prove that the other party was the real Ye Yun.

"What, are you sure now that I am Ye Yun and not an imposter?"

"Nangong Pu She, the people you seek revenge against are all top-tier experts in the world. I can help you reclaim your mother's fortune."

"You can't become the best in the world, but you can become the second best. Follow me for ten years, and I'll help you get revenge."

Ye Yun directly stated his terms, knowing he would kill these people sooner or later anyway.

"No, I don't need your help to avenge me. I want to kill them myself."

Nangong Pushe rejected Ye Yun's proposal.

Ye Yun smiled slightly.

Nangong Pushe possesses almost the highest martial arts talent and the assets of the most beautiful woman in the world. Such a talent should not be given to Xu Fengnian.

We definitely can't let him go to Tingchao Pavilion.

"How will you take revenge?"

"Two swords in hand!"

Nangong Pu She said coldly.

"You're not going to Tai'an City to kill Han Diaosi, are you?"

Ye Yun asked in confusion.

"yes!"

Nangong Pushe actually wanted to kill Han Diaosi in Tai'an City with his first-grade Vajra Realm cultivation.

However, it doesn't seem impossible. Her self-created "Nineteen Stops" technique might give her a chance if she goes first.

"You can't kill him. This person is already at the peak of the Profound Realm and lives deep within the palace. It will be very difficult for you to kill him."

However, if you are willing to follow me for ten years, I can help you and make you the second best in the world.

Ye Yun genuinely wanted to keep Nangong Pushe, not only because she was ranked first on the Rouge Ranking, but also because she possessed martial arts talent.

"You don't seem to lack guards. Ye Yun, who intimidates the entire martial arts world, do you have some kind of special fetish?"

Seeing that Ye Yun had no female companions, Nangong Pushe, based on his understanding of men, especially those with great strength, knew that they must have several female confidantes by their side.

Ye Yun, who is so young and promising and not bad-looking, doesn't have a single maidservant by his side.

Perhaps this person has some peculiar hobby.

Ye Yun was speechless upon hearing this.

Instead, it aroused a desire for conquest in his heart.

"I can provide you with a place to practice martial arts. If you have good talent, you can acquire the martial arts skills to kill everyone in three to five years."

Ye Yun presented Nangong Pu She with a condition that he could not refuse.

"Could it have even more books than the Tingchao Pavilion in Beiliang?"

Nangong Pushe was clearly intrigued.

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Ye Yun said, "Of course it's good. The Tingchao Pavilion in Beiliang will be mine from now on. This is your last chance. Are you willing to follow me?"

"There's one condition: I won't act unless I'm confident." Nangong Pushe didn't agree immediately, but instead set a bottom line: she was just a guard, not a suicide squad member.

Ye Yun smiled and said:

"make a deal!"

He finally managed to persuade Nangong Pushe to stay by his side.

Xu Fengnian's great opportunity was snatched away by him again.
