Chapter 18: The Shadow of the Divine Sword

Inside the hall, Liu Jinquan was immersed in joy, because he thought that no matter how high Su Jia's martial arts were, he would never be the opponent of his "Shadowless Divine Sword". Thinking that he is about to "hug the beauty", his heart can be said to be extremely happy.

But Liu Shuibi asked uncomfortably on the side: "But brother, are you really sure to defeat Miss Su? You know, she is the one who defeated Zhu Qiyang, the 'first knife'......"

Liu Jinquan said proudly: "What is Zhu Qiyang, I don't care about it at all. The reason why his Vermilion Wing Sect was able to compete with my Goshawk Sect was purely because of the number of people. It's easy to take me and him out and fight him alone!"

When Liu Shuibi heard this, she still didn't feel at ease and said: "But I'm still not at ease, no one knows where Miss Su came from; besides, the duel in which she defeated Zhu Qiyang, I don't know if she used her full strength, and whether she had reservations...... Besides, it is the first time that you and I have encountered such a strange person in martial arts...... I think it's better to wait for Master and his old man to come in a few days, and then make plans!"

Liu Jinquan listened to this, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you doubt your brother and my strength? How can I say that it is also a well-known 'Shadowless Divine Sword' in the martial arts, how could I lose to an unidentified little girl? Besides, sister, don't you still look forward to having a sister-in-law every day? So, there is no need to wait for the master and his old man." ”

"But......" Liu Shuibi seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Liu Shuibi with one hand.

I only heard Liu Jinquan say: "Okay, this matter is decided, I will compete with Miss Su on the street tomorrow." When the time comes, let's see how your brother and I can marry a pretty daughter-in-law!"

Liu Shuibi stood aside, silently ......

It's night again......

The night was a bit bleak, and the bright moon that should have appeared was also tightly covered by dark clouds......

Su Jia was still playing the flute alone in the guest room, and the flute was gentle but a little desolate. She looked out at the quiet street, her expression was wavering, as if she was thinking about the past, and seemed to be planning tomorrow's showdown......

After a while, she sighed deeply, and then slowly put the bamboo flute back into her package. She sat down, closed the window, and looked affectionately at the broken candle on the table, smiling softly at the faint light of the candle. Now, she has turned from sadness to a smile. The candlelight shone on Su Jia's face, and the face of a peerless beauty suddenly became deeply beautiful and even a little drunk, showing its soft beauty. Instead of looking at the bronze mirror and staring at the candlelight, Su Jia is even more beautiful, and the face of the alluring city is enough to make men all over the world ecstasy, which is probably where the charm of the beautiful woman's shadow lies......

"Knock, knock", the knock outside the door instantly broke the peace and tranquility of the moment.

"Who?" asked Su Jia in a low voice as she quickly returned to her original alert state.

"It's me, Xiao Tian. Outside the door was Xiao Tian's voice.

As soon as Su Jia heard that it was Xiao Tian, she stood up and went to open the door.

"Squeak-" The door opened, Su Jia saw Xiao Tian, and said with a smile: "It's Ah Tian, is there anything to find me tonight?"

Xiao Tian paused and said softly, "No...... It's nothing, I just want to talk to Miss Su......"

"Oh, then come in!" said Su Jia.

So, Xiao Tian walked into the room, and Su Jia then closed the door.

Xiao Tian was still a little uncomfortable, after all, he was alone in a room with a woman. Su Jia sat on the bed, and Xiao Tian asked, "Miss Su, do you really want to make a bet with that Liu Jinquan tomorrow?"

"Otherwise?" asked Su Jia with a smile.

"But in case Miss Su loses......" Xiao Tian said, "Wouldn't you want to ......" Gradually, he was a little speechless.

Su Jia smiled: "Are you worried that I will lose?"

"Sort of...... Xiao Tian continued, "If Miss Ruosu loses, isn't she going to marry that bastard?"

"You mean Liu Jinquan is a bastard?" asked Su Jia with her head tilted.

Xiao Tianzhuang said boldly: "This ...... Originally, he not only oppressed the local people, but also wanted to force Miss Su to marry you, what is this kind of person not a bastard?"

Su Jia listened to this, and said with a smile: "Then what do you think of me compared to Liu Jinquan?"

Seeing Su Jia smile like this, Xiao Tian blushed for a while, and then said: "Miss Su, of course you are a good person, not only did you use tricks to provoke the cannibalism of these two evil shili, but also returned the gold and grain they stole to the local people, Miss Su, you can really be regarded as a 'hero of the world'...... No, it's the 'Heroine of the World'!"

When Su Jia heard this, she laughed again: "It seems that you are a pretty cute little fool......"

Hearing such words, Xiao Tian lowered his head embarrassedly, and then asked, "If Miss Su, you lose, what should you do?"

Su Jia paused for a moment, then said with a short smile: "Don't worry, I won't lose to Liu Jinquan." ”

"If only that were the case...... Xiao Tian continued, "By the way, Miss Su, do you remember a package I gave you earlier?"

Su Jia thought for a while and said, "Oh, it's the gift you gave me before, right?"

"You...... Didn't you secretly open it to see it?" Xiao Tian asked embarrassedly.

Su Jia smiled: "Hehe, no! Didn't you say that it would be seven days later? There are still two days before the deadline, so I'll wait......

Seeing that Su Jia really kept his promise, Xiao Tian was happy in his heart.

Su Jia pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Ah Tian, the two of us are very good friends, right?"

"Right...... That's right!" Hearing this sudden and kind words, Xiao Tian blushed and said, "Su ...... Miss Su Weishenme suddenly asked?

Su Jia smiled and said, "In that case, tomorrow I will face off against Liu Jinquan, can you help me do something?"

Xiao Tian agreed without hesitation: "No problem!"

So, Su Jia stood up, walked to Xiao Tian's side, and whispered into his ear......

There was still a little time in the next day, but both sides of the main street of Liusha Town were already full of spectators - they were all here to watch this martial arts duel that was enough to give people a glimpse......

At the stable at the fork, Xiao Tian was taking care of the horses while talking to his master, the old lame.

The old cripple was surprised: "Ge Laozi, you stinky boy is leaving, where are you going?"

Xiao Tian said in a low voice, "I don't know...... But I only know that with Miss Su, I can't go wrong......"

"I've heard about Miss Su these days...... "The old lame man sighed, "She is indeed very powerful, and she has a chivalrous heart, you stinky boy can't be wrong to follow her......"

Xiao Tian said again: "I'm sorry, Master, the apprentice can't be by your side to be filial to you......"

"Don't say that, stinky boy, men are ambitious in all directions......" the old lame man said with a cane hitting Xiao Tian's leg, "For the sake of the teacher, I am afraid that I can only retire in this Liusha Town in this life...... You're still young, you can't be like me, you have more to see in the world!"

Xiao Tian lowered his head and pondered for a while.

Suddenly, the old lame man took out a book from his body and said to Xiao Tian: "Stinky boy, although Lao Tzu is a disciple of Master Xuanqing in this life, he has not learned a few kung fu...... Only learn the trick. Although you stinky boy is stupid, but you have filial piety and distinguish between right and wrong, Lao Tzu will pass on to you today this secret book of 'mechanism techniques' that I have studied all my life......"

Xiao Tian saw the book of "Mechanism Techniques" and said in surprise: "This ...... How can the apprentices bear it?"

"If you take it, you will take it, stinky boy!" the old lame man first scolded, and then said calmly, "This is written by Lao Tzu after spending a lifetime of hard work, and you cherish Lao Tzu well......"

"Master......" Xiao Tian said silently, and slowly took the book of "Mechanism Techniques".

When the old lame man saw it, he turned around and said, "Stinky boy, Xiao Juxian taught you, Lao Tzu also taught you, you give Lao Tzu a name for himself outside...... If you have time, try to come back and meet the Master......" After speaking, he slowly left on crutches.

Xiao Tian looked at the back of the old lame man in his eyes, and his heart was full of thoughts...... Last night, because of Miss Su, Xiao Tian seemed to be leaving Liusha Town today......

"Yo, Brother Xiao, why are you here?" A bold voice came from behind him - it was Liu Duan.

Xiao Tian turned around and replied, "Oh, it's Brother Liu......! Why are you here?"

"I still want to ask you about this, will you be here?" Liu Duan asked, "Don't you want to see the duel between your Su girl and Liu Jinquan?"

"Oh, I'll wait for the joust to start and come back and see. Xiao Tian continued to ask, "By the way, Brother Liu, what do you think of Miss Su compared to Liu Jinquan?"

Liu Duan paused for a while, and then said: "Liu Jinquan not only bullies people, but also oppresses the people, and everyone hates her, and I have heard about Miss Su yesterday, I think she is a heroine who is willing to think about the people of the world, such a person is a person that Liu Mou admires in his life!"

Xiao Tian asked again: "Then Brother Liu, who do you think will win and lose in this duel?"

Liu Duan thought for a while and said: "Liu Jinquan is usually arrogant and bullying, and we low-level people are inferior to him in martial arts, so naturally we dare not resist; I naturally hope that Miss Su can win, so as to extinguish Liu Jinquan's arrogance, and the people will no longer suffer!"

"That's right...... I also hope that Miss Su wins. Xiao Tian lowered his head and said softly.

Liu Duan noticed that Xiao Tian's expression was a little melancholy, so he asked, "What's wrong with you, Brother Xiao, as if you are unhappy?"

Xiao Tian looked at Liu Duan and said slowly: "That...... Brother Liu, Miss Su and I are about to leave Liusha Town. ”

Liu Duan listened and asked in surprise: "What, you want to leave, weishenme?"

Xiao Tian said: "Liusha Town is no longer suitable for us to stay, we still have a lot of things to do......

"But......" Liu Duan seemed to be about to say something, but swallowed, and then said, "It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions, if you really find your life goal, go unswervingly!"

"Xiexie, Brother Liu......" Xiao Tian said, "no matter where I go in the future, I will never forget to have you as a friend." ”

Liu Duan listened and said solemnly: "Brother Xiao, you are the first good brother I made in Liusha Town!"

Xiao Tian was a little moved when he heard this, and also said: "Brother Liu, you are the first good brother I have made in Liusha Town, except for Miss Su!

Liu Duan stepped forward and hugged Xiao Tian tightly, and said, "In the past ten days, I haven't made you a friend in vain!"

After the two let go, Xiao Tian asked, "Brother Liu, don't you want to leave here like me?"

Liu Duan shook his head and said: "I am from Liusha Town, and I will contribute to the people of Liusha Town in this life and this life." ”

"You are a man!" Xiao Tian patted Liu Duan's shoulder and said, "In my absence, make a few more friends who fight for righteousness and squander money, I believe that there must be men with chivalrous hearts like us under Liu Jinquan!"

"Well...... Liu Duan replied, "You too, in my absence, learn to drink more, if he is destined to meet again, we must have a good drink!"

"Definitely!" Xiao Tian said. The two faced each other, and the brothers looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, let's go to the main street to watch the duel between the two of them......" Liu Duan said.

So, the two walked side by side towards the main street......

Today is cloudy, with dark clouds and no sunshine in sight. The main street was full of people, but it was quiet. A few gusts of cool breeze blew the fallen leaves on the ground, giving people a sense of solemnity.

One person stands on the left and right sides of the street. On the left is a woman in blue, I saw her standing quietly, expressionless, her whole body standing proudly, a solemn but mysterious image. She clenched a pitch-black short knife in her right hand, and the short knife shook slowly, and the cold light refracted from the blade was enough to suffocate those who saw it. This person was Su Jia, and at this time she was closing her eyes, silently waiting for the duel to begin.

And there is a white-clothed boy on the right, this person should be the "Shadowless Divine Sword" Liu Jinquan. Looking away from afar, Liu Jinquan held the sword behind his back at this time, and bent his other hand forward slightly, looking like a handsome son. I saw him with a smug face, standing quietly opposite Su Jia.

In this way, both sides seem to be ready......

After a long time, Liu Jinquan said first: "How is it, Miss Su? The time has come, can you start?"

Su Jia slowly opened her eyes and said coldly: "Let Liu Gongzi do it!"

At this time, Xiao Tian and Liu Duan finally rushed over before the competition began. The two of them finally squeezed into the crowd, and Xiao Tian suddenly said: "Brother Liu, let's see the two of us separately! Brother Liu, you are here, and I will go to the other side." ”

"Oh!" Liu Duan also said, "Then you have to pay attention to your own safety!"

"I know!" So, Xiao Tian squeezed again and went to another crowd......

The air in the center began to become more and more solemn, and it seemed that a duel was about to break out.

Liu Jinquan raised his hand and said first: "Just let your Miss Su do it first!"

Su Jia smiled lightly, as if to indicate that she had agreed......

"Whoosh-" Suddenly, Su Jia picked up the short knife and made a move, and the powerful knife qi rushed straight towards Liu Jinquan with the strong air current, and the speed of the true qi was extremely fast, wanting to suppress Liu Jinquan with one blow. Liu Jinquan was nervous for a while, after all, he hadn't faced such a master for a long time. Fortunately, Liu Jinquan's reaction was also extremely fast, and when he saw that the soles of his feet were really lucky, the whole person suddenly soared in mid-air, and easily dodged the knife.

But then, the second and third knives followed, and the sound of the blade scratching was like a ghost's howl, which made people fearful, and the liliang and speed of the knife were amazing, in Liu Jinquan's eyes, the Su girl in front of her could really be regarded as a first-class master. So Liu Jinquan responded calmly, only to see him perform a light step, and use his sword to use two moves to "transform Changhong", and after two reincarnations, he can barely block these two knives.

This time, without waiting for Su Jia to make the first move, Liu Jinquan jumped up, and the person kept spinning with the sword - the shadowless sword, and I saw Liu Jinquan next to him in the air, and a sword suddenly transformed into thousands of sword rays. Hearing the sound of "drink-", the sword rays spread out in all directions, but they sprayed in the same direction - Su Jia's direction.

Seeing this, Su Jia leaned back slightly, and her footsteps moved lightly backwards. Suddenly, she stopped, and the man spun in place with the knife. There was another terrible sword roar, and the powerful sword qi touched Liu Jinquan's sword, and the sound was already very harsh, which made the sound even more chaotic, making the surrounding audience a little unbearable.

Liu Jinquan didn't stop, and before Su Jia put away the knife, he rushed up in a few steps, and then jumped lightly, jumping to a few feet above Su Jia's head. Then, the sword light conjured by the "Shadowless Divine Sword" struck from above. Before it was over, Liu Jinquan fell to Su Jia's several directions and cast the divine sword. At this point, thousands of swords struck from all directions of Su Jia, and Su Jia had no corner to escape from.

Who knew that Su Jia was still not flustered, only to see her eyes wrinkled slightly, get up and jump, and then wave the short knife quickly and rapidly. The powerful barrier formed by the sword flow blocked every sword shot by Liu Jinquan, and the unpredictable and formidable sword qi that Liu Jinquan had cast just now was suddenly dispersed without a trace by this powerful sword flow......

The audience on both sides applauded when they saw it. Liu Jinquan was taken aback on the side, in his impression, there was no peer woman in the rivers and lakes who could force him to this point. Liu Jinquan then calmed down for a moment, and then jumped into the air. This time he stopped on an eaves and wanted to make another move, only to hear him shout: "This next move is a stunt, Miss Su should be careful!"

Su Jia was silent, and after skillfully turning the short knife in his hand, he held the short knife tightly, ready to deal with it at any time.

Suddenly, Liu Jinquan on the eaves suddenly conjured several swords in his hand. I saw that Liu Jinquan used his internal force to suspend all the swords in mid-air, and with an order, the sword began to rotate, and then the sword conjured up tens of millions of sword rays, and each sword also rotated. When the people around them saw this, they retreated a little further, and it seemed that they knew what was going to happen next......

"Drink-" Another order, thousands of spinning swords flew towards Su Jia, and the sound of their swords resounded in the sky. The dense sword light hit Xiangxia like a storm, and Liu Jinquan's stunt, "Imperial Sword Burning Plain", fell with the wind, roaring wildly.

Unexpectedly, Su Jia was still calm, only to see that her knife was swinging faster this time, blocking every sword that Liu Jinquan flew from impartially. However, there is a difference between this "Edgeworth Sword" and the "Shadowless Sword" just now, the "Shadowless Sword" is attacking one move at a time, and the swords that this "Edgeworth Flame" attacks are endless. As a result, I saw that the sword marks on the ground had increased little by little, and gradually became dense.

After sweeping a few swords, Su Jia saw that the sword momentum was endless, and if he continued to carry it like this, he would die of exhaustion sooner or later. Suddenly, Su Jia's whole body jumped up, as if she was about to change her moves. I saw Su Jia holding a knife in his right hand, and after a few small reincarnations, he slashed with a "whoosh". Suddenly, a black stun appeared in the place where the knife had been cut. With the terrible sound of the knife, the knife halo became bigger and bigger, like a devil.

A surprising scene occurred - the devil-like sword halo really opened its mouth like a devil, swallowed the sword shot by Liu Jinquan, and when the sword halo disappeared, the "Imperial Sword Burning Plain" also disappeared.

At this time, when Liu Jinquan saw this, there were already beads of sweat on his forehead - he was extremely nervous, he knew that before this, except for his master Lu Huan, no one could break this move "Imperial Sword Burning Plain", and it was so easy.

"It can't be...... No way, who is she sacred?" Liu Jinquan began to nervously muttered to himself.

Sure enough, after performing that set of devilish knife techniques, Su Jia's face was still very calm and relaxed. And this time, Su Jia no longer gave Liu Jinquan any chance to fight back, and before Liu Jinquan could react, Su Jia suddenly raised the knife and fell, only to hear a ghost-like knife roar, and the corner of the eaves was directly cut off by Su Jia.

As soon as the eaves were broken, Liu Jinquan had to jump off, but he was unprepared. Suddenly, Su Jia took advantage of Liu Jinquan's incomplete landing and slashed horizontally. Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Jinquan hurriedly lowered his head and leaned back. But Su Jia's knife was swift, and Liu Jinquan's hair bun was directly split by this knife, and Liu Jinquan screamed "ah-", then lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Su Jia saw that the victory and defeat had been divided, so he didn't make any more moves, and slowly withdrew the short knife.

Liu Jinquan endured the pain and asked Su Jia, "That'...... What kind of knife is that, you ...... Who are you?" said Liu Jinquan's tone with incomparable panic. When Liu Shuibi saw it, she was worried about her brother's injury, so she hurriedly ran over to help her.

Xiao Tian saw it on the side, and said secretly: "Great, it's Miss Su who won......"

Liu Shuibi cried on the side: "Brother, are you okay?"

Su Jia didn't think so, and said coldly: "Okay, Young Master Liu, you should fulfill your promise, and now you can let me go, right?"

"Don't you think about it!" Liu Shuibi turned around and said angrily, "Come on, stop this slut for me!" After speaking, many officers and robbers emerged from the front and back of the street, it seems that this Liu Shuibi will not let Su Jia go even if he dies.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian secretly said in his heart: "This Liu brother and sister really didn't keep Chen Nuo, Miss Su is really like a god...... Okay, I have to carry out the next step of Miss Su's arrangement!" So, Xiao Tian turned around and left without anyone noticing......

Seeing this, Su Jia smiled softly and said, "Hmph, do you think you can stop me?"

Liu Shuibi gritted her teeth and said, "You...... Even if I die, I won't let you leave this Liusha Town today!"

Su Jia listened, smiled softly, and then pulled out the short knife again and raised it to his head. I saw a chilling light refracted on the pitch-black short knife. When everyone saw this, they wanted to retreat, but they didn't dare to step forward, after all, they had also seen the power of the short knife just now.

I only heard Su Jia shouting: "I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, but if someone stops me today, there will be one more corpse here!" At this time, this peerless beauty actually said such cruel words, and everyone was a little afraid when they saw it.

The officers and soldiers who blocked the road were even more hesitant, whether they would not go to the ground or not, and if they did not get it right, they would be stabbed to death by Su Jia; if they did not do it, they would be killed by Liu Shuibi afterwards.

After a while, Liu Shuibi shouted angrily: "What's the matter? You guys hurry up, if you don't go, I will pull off your tendons one by one!"

This time the words were even more ruthless, and the officers and robbers had no choice but to go on this time. Led by Wang Biao, the army led by him attacked from the front and rear.

Seeing this, Su Jia held a short knife in her hand and wanted to fight at any time......

"Pap, papa, papa, pap-" Suddenly, countless firecrackers sounded in the alleyway of the main street, and the fireworks extended from the alleyway to the main street. The spectators standing next to the two lanes saw the fireworks and avoided them one after another.

"To ...... What the hell is going on?" asked Liu Shuibi as she dragged the injured Liu Jinquan to the side of the road.

Suddenly, startled by the sound of firecrackers, a large herd of horses ran out of the stables.

"Not good, yes...... It's the stables that have a problem!" Liu Jinquan shouted bitterly.

I saw a herd of horses running from the alley into the main street, and then roaring towards the town gate. There was another person on top of it - it was Xiao Tian. The horses passed by, and the rear troops who had besieged Su Jia were now scattered in all directions, and those who did not have time to escape were directly swept to the ground by the horse team.

"Miss Su, get on the horse!" Xiao Tian shouted with all his might.

Su Jia turned around and smiled at Xiao Tian, and then the whole person jumped lightly and jumped onto a horse. So, the two of them rode their horses separately and rushed straight towards the town gate with a group of horses......

With such a huge momentum, the troops in front of Su Jia also fled. Suddenly, the entire main street of Liusha Town was already galloping with thousands of horses......

It turned out that the night before, Su Jia was already very sure of defeating Liu Jinquan, so he had been planning how to escape from Liusha Town quickly. The reason why she asked Xiao Tian to raise horses before was in case of emergency. She also expected that the Liu brothers and sisters would break their promises, and if they lost, they would definitely not let go of themselves. So she told Xiao Tian about her Jihua and asked Xiao Tian to help her complete all the escapes.

In fact, as Liu Shuibi guessed, since Su Jia was attacked by that group of assassins, Su Jia has changed Jihua's actions. In other words, from the very beginning, Su Jia was determined to leave Liusha Town as soon as possible. After all, she was afraid that after Lu Huan, one of the Four Saints of Martial Arts, came to the town in a few days, things would become very troublesome; as long as she investigated carefully, Su Jia's identity and origin would be exposed. But in fact, Su Jia is not a completely cold-blooded person, and she can't let go of the people in the town. So, Su Jia used tricks to provoke the contradictions between the two factions and rescued the local people. Including today's competition with Liu Jinquan here, and also among Su Jia's jihua. This series of jihua implementations, and now, Su Jia has turned this Liusha Town upside down with the power of one person, which may not have been thought of by Liu Jinquan and Zhu Qiyang, who were invincible before......

The horses galloped to the gate of the town, and when the officers and soldiers saw this, they all hurriedly retreated, and some did not even dodge, and were directly swept down......

Su Jia and Xiao Tian rode across the gate of Liusha Town, and none of the officers and soldiers resisted. At the same time, Su Jia and Xiao Tian can be regarded as having finished their days in Liusha Town......
