Chapter 25: Heartlessness
In the quiet red maple forest, the maple leaves fall with the wind, and the light shuttles mischievously between the maple leaves, and the scattered light spots are sprinkled on the ground.
In the past few days, a female guest has appeared in the red maple forest, and she has to stand in front of Ahri's tombstone for half a day every day before leaving.
Today, the woman in white still came to Ahri's grave, looking at the flat mound in front of her, she stretched out her slender right hand and stroked Ahri's wooden tablet. She turned her back to the scenery in front of the tomb and said in a soft voice, "I should go too." ”
……
In the middle of the Cara Swamp, Ye Feng and Fiona walked slowly, for fear of falling into the swamp.
"Huh?" Ye Feng stopped, and Fiona behind him hit Ye Feng's back directly.
"You did it on purpose!" Fiona disgruntled.
"Look ahead, it looks like someone has passed out there, let's go and see!" Ye Feng said, not noticing that he had upset Fiona.
"My instincts tell me to bypass him, that person is not simple." Fiona also saw the person lying on the ground at this time, but she didn't think about saving the person like Ye Feng, and a comatose person appeared inexplicably in the Kara Swamp, which really made her strange.
"Hey, I'm so unsympathetic." Ye Feng glanced at Fiona with disdain, and then walked towards the man. Fiona secretly cursed an idiot in her heart, and also followed, lest anything happen to Ye Feng.
It was a man of about nineteen years of age, dressed in blue, with long black hair and closed eyes. He has an indescribable temperament throughout his life, attracting the attention of others, as if he were the protagonist everywhere.
On the left hand side of the man, there is a sword lying quietly, the whole body is like a blue jade-like material, and the unique sword intent emanates from it and surrounds the man, as if if someone is not good for the man, it will immediately protect the master.
"This is a swordsman with a very high sword intent comprehension, I think it's better for us to leave him alone." Fiona always felt that this man was not simple, and if he was allowed to wake up, it might cause a disaster.
Ye Feng glanced at Fiona, squatted down, and was just about to help the man up, but stopped again. Because the man opened his eyes and looked straight at Ye Feng.
"Where am I?" The man looked at Ye Feng and asked.
"This is the Kara Marsh! Have you forgotten how you got here? Ye Feng looked at the man strangely.
"Kara Swamp? It turns out that I was teleported here this time. The man stood up and muttered to himself.
"Look at you like this, you are quite weak, come with us all the way, and not far away is Karamanda." Ye Feng kindly invited.
"Hey! Why do you want to ......" Fiona was angry by Ye Feng's behavior, this man is of unknown origin and powerful, maybe he is a bad person. But Ye Feng was defenseless at all, and Ye Feng's stupidity made Fiona angry again.
"That's it! Let's go, I don't know your name yet, my name is Ye Feng, and this one next to me is Fiona. Ye Feng glared at Fiona and interrupted her. Fiona saw Ye Feng glaring at her for the first time, and she didn't react for a while. When she wanted to find Ye Feng's theory, she found that Ye Feng had already gone away from the man.
"This idiot, I don't know how I'm going to die!" Fiona gritted her teeth and followed.
"My name is Wuxin, this sword is called 'Blue Jade', Miss Fiona seems to be prejudiced against me?" Wuxin asked when he saw Fiona follow.
"Oh, I'm just wondering why you're lying on our way in this huge kara swamp, don't tell me it's a coincidence!" Fiona didn't look at Wuxin and looked straight ahead.
"Yes, after all, anyone who encounters a stranger in a coma in an uninhabited place will be wary." Wuxin smiled, not angry at Fiona's questioning tone.
"Hmph, don't say nice things! I, Fiona, don't eat this, I want me to approve of you, dream! Fiona was still looking ahead, her eyes never looking at the man.
"Look at the sword in your hand, you must also be a sword cultivator, if I defeat you, you will let go of the mustard in your heart, how about it?" Wuxin looked at Fiona and said seriously.
"Okay, but don't let me down!" Fiona readily agreed.
"Hey, don't fight, lest you hurt the peace." Ye Feng came out to play a round, hoping to ease the relationship between the two.
"Don't worry, I'll get to the point, we're just talking." Wuxin said with a smile.
"Stop? Hehe, I hope your swordsmanship is as sharp as your mouth. Fiona was furious when she heard Wuxin's words.
This man didn't even take her seriously, although she felt that Wuxin cultivated a powerful sword intent, but she didn't think that Wuxin could far surpass her. At best, Fiona is still very proud of her swordsmanship talent, and there are few swordsmanship geniuses among her peers who can match her. Moreover, Wuxin always gave her a feeling of unease, for safety, she wanted to defeat Wuxin, and use this as a reason to let him leave her and Ye Feng.
Fiona gathered momentum, her right hand clenching Liuyun, ready to strike at any moment. On the other hand, he had no intention of being vigilant, as if he didn't take this competition seriously, or perhaps because he was overconfident.
Fiona was angry when she saw Wuxin's calm and calm appearance, she had always been arrogant in front of others, when did anyone dare to be so arrogant in front of her?
"Slash!" Fiona kicked backwards with one foot, quickly unleashing the Laurent family's mastery and stabbing at Heartless.
Unintentionally snorted, narrowly dodging the blow, he didn't expect Fiona to be so strong.
Before he could prepare for it, Fiona's figure flashed in front of him again. Unintentionally, he turned his head subconsciously, and then reacted quickly to the side, but Fiona's sword was too fast, and it still cut off a strand of his long hair.
Wuxin smiled, and the sword in his hand was finally dispatched. He blocked Fiona's sword with one hand and flicked it again, causing Fiona to take a few steps back.
This is a worthy opponent! Fiona's heart was full of fighting intent, and she rushed forward again, slashing up, with a powerful sword that pressed Wuxin.
Wuxin smiled calmly, blocked Fiona's powerful sword with his right hand, and then quickly held the sword and counterattacked. Looking at Fiona, who couldn't parry for the time being, Wuxin already felt that the victory was in his hands.
But something strange happened, and for some reason he flew upside down, and the blow not only missed, but he was also injured.
Wuxin wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth and said, "Interesting, what was the name of that invisible sword blade just now?" ”
"Laurent's Heart's Eye Knife!" Fiona replied without a hint of expression. Under the delay of the Heart Eye Knife, Fiona successfully gasped for breath and slashed out again!
Fiona's graceful figure leaped forward lightly, and the thorn was sharper than ever. The sword body was surrounded by mist-like energy, and if it was stabbed by this sword that condensed Fiona's sword intent, the weak person could be killed on the spot. Fiona believed that Wuxin could block this sword, and even if he couldn't stop it, he wouldn't die, so she poured her sword intent into this sword without reservation.
"Do you understand the sword intent?" Wuxin took a deep breath, the blue jade in his right hand seemed to be alive at the moment, and Wuxin's sword intent was growing at a geometric rate.
Fiona saw all of this in her eyes, and instead of retreating, she wanted to know more and more how strong this young man who was practicing the sword with him really was.
Because the sword intent of the two was raging, the surrounding aura began to be disordered, Ye Feng was paying attention to this collision from afar, after this blow, the victory or defeat between Fiona and Wuxin should also come out.
The two swords intertwined, and immediately after, the clouds and mist around the body of the Liuyun sword dispersed. Wuxin continued to stab with the blue jade in his hand, wanting to end the competition with one blow.
Lost? Fiona smiled wryly, and her body flew upside down like a kite with a broken string. I lost before I even had time to use the trick, how could I fight that person again?
Fiona then remembered her father. When she was a child, her father always taught her how to practice swords, and Fiona longed for her father.
Until that day, Fiona, who was practicing swords in the family martial arts arena, heard the news that her father had been arrested for falsifying the duel, and she couldn't believe this fact anyway. How could such a powerful father be poisoned by fraud?
Fiona confronts her father about the myth in her mind before she is exiled. After her father confessed to cheating, Fiona's last glimmer of hope was gone.
Fiona's father said to her before leaving: "You have the advantage of being aggressive, but the disadvantage is that your staying power is too poor, and after I am gone, you should study my own fountain of progress, which will bring you close to perfection." ”
Fiona has always been obsessed with her father's cheating, and although she occasionally looks at the sword skills left behind by her father, she never uses them to use them. In her opinion, how can a person who only knows how to cheat all his life really know swords?
"Nana, my father may not be able to teach you in the future." Fiona remembered that one rainy night, when her father walked home covered in scars, Fiona had only begun to learn swordsmanship. Before returning to the house, her father earnestly admonished her, "Don't learn the first page of the forbidden sword duel!" ”
Fiona seemed to suddenly understand something, and she said to herself, "I blame you, father, go to the fountain!" Fiona's sloppy eyes sharpened again, and she tapped her sword lightly on the ground, jumped up reflexively, and once again confronted Wuxin. Fiona's speed is getting faster and faster, and she stabs five swords in a row in just an instant!
Even under Fiona's fierce and ferocious offensive, Wuxin still did not fall into disadvantage. Instead, he grew stronger as Fiona grew stronger, as if his strength never ended.
After Fiona used the fountain of advancement, her weakened body gradually regained her strength, as if it would heal itself.
Wuxin muttered to himself: "I can have an epiphany in battle, my talent is very high, but I am still too young, and it should be over." The blue jade in Wuxin's right hand emitted a blue sword light that surrounded Wuxin. Fiona felt her skin tingle as if it had been slashed by a sword when she approached Wuxin, and she couldn't get close to Wuxin at all, so she could use that move while she still had the strength to do so!
Fiona snorted, "Blade Waltz!" As soon as her hand was raised, before she could use it, the sword in her hand was knocked down by the back of the sword unintentionally.
This battle is finally a winner!
Fiona fell to her knees weakly, completely losing to her peers in swordsmanship for the first time since she was a child, which was unimaginable to the arrogant Fiona, who kept muttering, "I lost." ”
"No, you didn't lose, I'm a few hundred years older than you, even though I look younger." Wuxin walked up to Fiona and said, holding out his right hand in a gesture of friendship.
Fiona's expression was still gloomy, and she lowered her head and said, "If you lose, you lose." ”
"If that's your pride, keep kneeling here!" Ye Feng walked over, looked at Fiona's depressed appearance, and said to Wuxin, "Let's go, let her kneel alone, she is not arrogant, she is not like this, she faces difficulties, even if she is defeated, she still keeps her head high and continues to move forward, cutting off all obstacles!" ”
Wuxin sighed and left with Ye Feng. Fiona, who was immersed in failure, heard Ye Feng's voice drifting away: "How can Fiona, whom I know, admit defeat so easily?" Looks like I misread her! ”
Yes, how could I, Fiona, bow my proud head because of a failure? It is because there are people who are stronger than me that I should hold my head high to face one powerful opponent after another to improve my swordsmanship! Isn't my motto that I crave worthy opponents? It's ridiculous that I was even taught a lesson by Ye Feng, a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. No, I've got to keep up and get back on the field and let him know who's the biggest! I haven't seen it for a few days, and even I dare to teach a lesson! After Fiona figured it out, she picked up the Flowing Cloud Sword lying on the ground and hit the road again.
