Chapter 101: What Are You Worried About?

  Ye Xuan had lived in Qiao Yu Pavilion for a period of time, but he never knew that behind the pavilion was a dense bamboo forest!

  This bamboo forest is also within the range of Qiao Yu Ge, where Jiang Qiao usually practices his sword skills.

  After a short while, Jiang Qiao brought Ye Xuan and Long Mei into this bamboo forest.

  At a glance, row upon row of short bamboo and tall bamboo, serene and pure.

  Ye Xuan had always known that Jiang Qiao was a person who understood how to richly enjoy life.

  Qiaoyu Pavilion has the charm of Jiangnan water painting, and the bamboo forest behind the pavilion is even more refreshing, which can purify one's mind and is indeed a place for quiet cultivation and introspection.

  Those rows of bamboo forests and leaves, practicing here, must have been quite emotional.

  "If you want to point out someone's swordsmanship, you must engage in a duel!"

  Jiang Qiao stood with his hands behind his back, saying nothing more. He took a few steps forward and with a stir of his true energy, the palm of his hand inside his white sleeve slapped out, and two bamboo stalks were suddenly grasped in mid-air.

  Seizing these two bamboo sticks, Jiang Qiao also used his hands to empty everything. One end of the bamboo stick was instantly sharpened into a sharp and pointed bamboo sword!!

  "Take it!"

  With a wave of her hand, Jiang Qiao handed one of the bamboo swords to Ye Xuan.

  Ye Xuan put down the bamboo sword and asked in a puzzled tone: "Are you going to use this bamboo sword for the trial?"

  "Alright!" Jiang Qiao's voice was as cold as ever, saying: "I will suppress my cultivation to the late stage of Guyuan, and we'll be even. The bamboo sword is more advantageous for a trial! Remember, during the trial, try to use your sword as the main attack, and your true energy as an auxiliary!"

  "And I won't show mercy!"

  Jiang Qiao's voice did not contain even half a hint of emotion.

  This made Ye Xuan believe that she would indeed show no mercy!

  "Hmm!"

  Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

  As they spoke, he grasped his bamboo sword and entered the quiet bamboo forest.

  Jiang Qiao suddenly turned around and stepped into the bamboo forest.

  "It's going to be a fight!" Longmei blinked her eyes excitedly.

  Ye Xuan and Jiang Qiao walked all the way into the depths of the bamboo forest before slowly coming to a stop.

  The two of them subconsciously pulled away from each other, about 70 or 80 feet apart, and looked at each other.

  Ye Xuan grasped his sword tightly, refusing to let go.

  Jiang Qiao wielded his sword with utmost ease and freedom.

  Wow.

  The west wind blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, and the bamboo shadows on the ground tilt.

  With the western wind blowing for an instant——

  The next moment, Jiang Qiao moved.

  Her white-clad figure was breathtakingly beautiful, her slender physique mesmerizing to behold. Yet in that instant, a killing intent flashed, and the bamboo sword in her hand seemed like a sword of doom, slicing through the wind as it came, with people hot on its heels!

  Breathing for a moment, he was near Ye Xuan.

  At this point, Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of surprise.

  Hurry!

  So fast!

  In the blink of an eye, Jiang Qiao had already appeared before him.

  The murderous intent was pressing in on him, and Ye Xuan didn't dare to be careless. The bamboo sword in his hand chopped three times in a row, and clashed with Jiang Qiao's bamboo sword in an instant.

  The first move of the Green Sword Technique is the foundation.

  The swordsmanship gained from the Stepping Killing Machine, no matter whether it's from the east, west, south, or north, or even from all eight directions, is all incorporated into the first heavy sword technique of the Green Grave Sword Technique. The offense and defense are combined into one, with the speed of the sword being fast, but the adaptability to changing circumstances is even faster.

  Clap Clap Clap Clap!

  The sound of bamboo swords colliding rang out continuously.

  Sword shadow flickers.

  The wind was blowing tightly when they crossed swords.

  In just that instant, the two didn't know how many rounds they had exchanged blows.

  At low altitude.

  Two figures drew their swords against each other!

  Ye Xuanjian was quick.

  Jiang Qiao's sword was equally fast.

  Sword shadow blurred!

  The two seemed to have thoroughly fallen into the midst of their competition, with the initial sword not being anything special, but as they went on, the speed at which they drew their swords became faster and faster. In this competition between the two, there were no magical spells or techniques, only a simple test of skill with the bamboo swords in hand.

  It's dazzling!

  "Great - so intense!" Long Mei stood beside him, her eyes wide with wonder, wiping the rice grains from the corner of her mouth, her two eyes full of joyful colors.

  Ye Xuan and Jiang Qiao's fight was still ongoing.

  The speed of the exchange is getting faster and faster.

  The two had nothing but a contest of swords.

  Move for move, sword clashes with sword, true energy in disarray, the murderous intent within their swords growing more and more intense with each passing moment!

  Green Edge Sword Art vs Green Edge Sword Art!

  It's hard to distinguish between good and evil!

  The faster the sword went down, the more Ye Xuan felt that he couldn't keep up with Jiang Qiao's sword speed!

  Ginger is on top.

  Ye Xuan is coming down.

  Jiang Qiao has already quietly taken the upper hand!

  "What are you worried about?" Jiang Qiao's beautiful eyes stared tightly at Ye Xuan, her icy voice ringing out.

  "As a sword cultivator, you're holding onto your sword tightly, what are you worried about?"

  "Are you afraid of losing your sword?"

  Indeed—

  Ye Xuan grasped the bamboo sword in his hand, holding it tightly and refusing to let go!

  Jiang Qiao wielded his sword with utmost carelessness!

  "Are you worried that your sword will leave your hand?"

  "If it's really like that, is it that you don't believe in yourself or don't believe in your sword? Or perhaps... you're afraid of me and will drop your sword?"

  Ye Xuan's eyebrows suddenly furrowed upon hearing this, and it seemed as though some ripples had appeared in his heart.

  Just at this moment of fluctuation, Jiang Qiao made a horizontal stab with his sword, and actually broke through Ye Xuan's sword defense. This sword had a killing intent that was beyond measure, and once Ye Xuan's defense was broken, he was forced to retreat step by step, without any chance to counterattack.

  Jiang Qiao's attack was like a broken bamboo, and in the next moment, he would directly pierce Ye Xuan's brow.

  Just as that fatal sword was about to reach Ye Xuan's brow, Jiang Qiao suddenly withdrew her sword. That one sword would have been enough to kill Ye Xuan, but she wouldn't.

  Sheathing her sword, she suddenly thrust out a palm from her sleeve, and with a gentle slap of her soft left palm, a powerful surge of true energy abruptly shot out from her hand, striking Ye Xuan's body in an instant!

  "Pffft!"

  In that instant, Ye Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood and his body flew backward.

  He knew that Jiang Qiao had already shown mercy.

  That sword should have taken his life, but Jiang Qiao instead used her palm.

  Seeing Ye Xuan being injured by her own palm, Jiang Qiao's eyes flashed with concern, she thought to herself, was she too harsh?

  In case...

  What if Ye Xuan gets hurt?

  He was supposed to be hot on their heels, but his footsteps were slightly hesitant, and in his heart, he had some difficulty taking action.

  She had her first soft spot for a man in her life.

  "This is a challenge!"

  Jiang Qiao had an idea in her mind and chased after him in the next moment.

  But even if it's just a try ——

  She also found it hard to bear.

  Didn't want to, but ended up hurting Ye Xuan.

  At the same time.

  Ye Xuan's body was slapped by Jiang Qiao with a palm, and his body flew backwards like an arrow off the string, out of control. His body crashed into the bamboo in the bamboo forest, and only two cracking sounds were heard as the bamboo broke. His body still didn't slow down at all, flying backwards without stopping!

  Crunch crunch.

  Just from that one palm strike, Ye Xuan was knocked back and crashed through thirty-six bamboo stalks.

  BOOM!!

  One by one, the green bamboos were knocked down by his body!

  When he crashed into the thirty-seventh bamboo, the momentum of that palm strike suddenly dissipated, and Ye Xuan's body, which had been flying backwards, was finally able to be controlled. His body spun around, and with one sword stroke, he cut off seven or eight stalks of green bamboo in front of him. With a few cracking sounds, a large section of bamboo fell to the ground. He flipped his body again, and his feet landed on the ground.

  Bang!

  Dust is flying everywhere.

  Ye Xuan wiped away the fresh blood from his mouth corner, not daring to relax even a bit, only feeling that the fierce wind killing intent behind him was pursuing closely without any reduction in speed.

  He suddenly turned around and swung his sword backhandedly.

  The sword energy has left the sword.

  The Instant Kill Sword Intent was activated, and the killing intent in the sword energy rushed straight towards Jiang Qiao.

  Ye Xuan knew in his heart that this instant kill sword intent's single sword energy posed no threat to Jiang Qiao.

  Indeed as he had expected.

  In the flash of lightning, Jiang Qiao broke through the sword energy.

  Ye Xuan didn't dare to confront Jiang Qiao head-on, and as soon as he released a sword energy, his footsteps paused for a moment before he took off running towards the front.

  Jiang Qiao closely followed behind him.

  The two men's battle had never paused since it began.

  Ye Xuan's mouth corner was still fresh with blood, his speed had reached the extreme, he saw a bamboo in front of him that was at least ten zhang long, he leaped up and landed on it with his feet tightly stuck to it, his true energy surged, and this ten-zhang-long bamboo actually bent into an arc, creaking as if it were about to break!

  Just as the bamboo bent to a certain extent, Ye Xuan's feet suddenly left the bamboo.

  That bamboo is a bow.

  He is an arrow.

  With the force of the bamboo's curved bow shooting arrows, Ye Xuan's sword horizontally stabbed, no longer dodging and escaping, but instead instantly killing the sword intent once again merged into the sword. His two eyes were fully focused on staring forward at Jiang Qiao, who was also coming at him with a single stab of his sword. The two swords seemed to be irretrievable, like arrows that had left the bowstring!

  Fast——

  Hurry up!

  Finally!

  Two bamboo swords, two people's sharp swords, collided once again.

  The true energy condensed on the sword.

  The two bodies were suspended in mid-air amidst the bamboo forest.

  One breath.

  Two breaths.

  Three breaths.

  All the way to the third breath!

  Boom!

  Only heard a loud noise, the true energy suddenly burst out!

  The two people's true energy merged together, then suddenly burst open, with an overwhelming and astonishing power, as if a sword of the invisible.

  At that moment, Ye Xuan's body and Jiang Qiao's body were both retreating in disarray.

  After a brief moment...

  The two bodies separated.

  About 20-30 feet apart.

  Ye Xuan stood on a bamboo stick, while Jiang Qiao's white-clothed figure also stood on one foot on another bamboo stick.

  Boom!

  The next moment, another sound appeared.

  Only in the bamboo forest, several hundred green bamboos were cut off one after another.

  Two people fought with bamboo swords, only using swordsmanship. Logically speaking, the destructive power shouldn't be too strong, but in fact, this bamboo forest was also destroyed beyond recognition.

  At first glance, it's a mess.

  Splish-splash.

  At this time, a commotion occurred in the bamboo forest, and the birds that had settled down were startled, flying away quickly from the place.

  The bamboo forest has quieted down.

  Ye Xuan and Jiang Qiao——

  Separate two parties.

  It seems like an autumn color has been divided equally.

  No

  Not equally divided autumn colors.
