Thirteen: The Young Man Makes People Jealous (Middle, First Watch)

  PS: Please help me out, brothers and sisters, give me a push to get into the top 30...

  ——————————————————————

  It seems like someone is quietly approaching in the direction of this cave.

  His footsteps were very light, but Qin Yu's hearing had also improved a lot compared to three days ago.

  In the vast forest of Shennong, there were countless broken ice and branches, all pressed under the endless white snow. Unless one had reached the realm of a Grandmaster in the Profound Gate Sect, their lightness skill could reach the state of leaving no footprints in the snow and retreating with just a touch, otherwise even the strongest Dark Boundary would still make a sound.

  Even last night, when Shi Huan returned, several feet away from the entrance of the cave, not a single detail escaped Qin Yu's ears. Of course, Qin Yu wisely didn't mention this detail and continued to cultivate his energy, ignoring him completely.

  Tan Yun was about thirty or forty feet away from the entrance of the cave.

  At the entrance, a black shadow flashed by, followed by a snow-white sword.

  This sword is four feet long, with a blade width of nearly four fingers. Considering the ring-headed knife commonly used by the Eastern Han Empire army was only slightly wider than two fingers, this sword can be considered a giant sword.

  The sword's back reflected the sunlight of the afternoon, a streak of light flashed before Qin Yu's eyes, making him narrow his eyes and say irritably: "Guest, don't shine the afternoon sun into my eyes, it will make me even sleepier."

  "Hmph! Hmph! Sorry about that!" A man in a black straight robe squeezed in from the entrance.

  He carried his sword and slowly walked up: "How is it you, young man? Where's Old Man Shi?"

  "He estimated that it would take another hour or two for him to return." Qin Yu still sat cross-legged, calmly and quietly replied, "Young Master Jin Wei, you're really early!"

  His ears trembled slightly, and there should be someone else hiding outside. It was too far away, and it was extremely faint, so he couldn't hear clearly. Was it that girl Zeng Yinyin?

  "Old Zhang waited in ambush for a long time last night, and this morning he was coughing so hard that his throat was unbearable, so he had to get up and take a walk. Fortunately, luck is not bad!" Jin Wei touched the central section of the mountain cave, looked around, and didn't care about it anymore. This cave is not small, but it's all in sight, nothing can be hidden.

  "Does the Golden Boy think this is your good luck?" Quan Yu asked with a hint of sarcasm. Being able to find Shi Huang's hiding place indeed required some luck, but it was unknown whether what followed would be good fortune or bad.

  "What did that old man do to you? Xiao Die and the others were worried about you." Jin Wei came back, smiling and said, "We've been searching for three days before we confirmed it was here. You didn't suffer any grievances, did you?"

  "Ah, Xiao Die is indeed a good person." Qin Yu smiled and said, "Thank you also for your concern, Jin Gongzi."

  "That's right, who made you the one Zeng Niang pointed out to be saved!"

  "Isn't Zeng Niang outside?" Qin Yu suddenly asked as he returned to his side.

  "Of course she's not here. She can't stand me being around, and even going to the bathroom makes her nervous." Jin Wei chuckled.

  "Actually, you don't have to be so blunt with me, I'm not interested." Qin Yu shook her head lightly.

  Jin Wei burst out laughing and forcefully sheathed his broadsword, narrowing his eyes into slits as two cold glints fixed onto Qin Yu.

  "Yes, I hate it too! The smell in this cave, I don't like it at all! You, I dislike the most!" He emphasized, "So, I must hurry to kill you and get out of here, find them and continue to see the snowy scenery of the big forest."

  Jian Yun was startled and jumped up.

  "I'm a victim and also an enemy of Shi Fu Jun, you...you don't make any sense at all?" Quan Yu shouted loudly.

  "What's there to reason with you and me?" Jin Wei smiled slyly, his words icy cold, "Is it because he's more handsome?"

  A fierce and murderous aura suddenly enveloped Qin Yu's chest.

  Tan Yun felt as if he was about to smash his head, neck, chest and abdomen all at once.

  He suddenly threw his head back, his body as if pulled by a huge force, rapidly pressed backwards, and directly fell onto the air.

  A classic lotus position ironing board bridge.

  I felt a gentle breeze sweep past me, a sharp and condensed aura grazed my face, leaving me with a lingering sense of resentment.

  Qin Yu shifted her body's center of gravity, slowly sat up, looked at the other person, and there was a hint of loss in her eyes.

  "Uncle Jinwei, you and I were destined to meet from a thousand miles away, it was all just fate, why must you be so overbearing?"

  Jin Wei's first strike missed, and he retreated back to his previous position, thoughtfully gazing at Tan Yu. His fist technique had always been superior to swordsmanship, giving him great confidence.

  Who would have thought, I actually lost to this weakling.

  "Kid, at your age, you won't understand! From the first time you called me 'uncle'... I didn't like you. Jin Wei narrowed his eyes, cold light flashing, "Actually, I know that Yan Yan is not interested in you at all. If it weren't for Xiao Die and Mrs. Deng's request, she wouldn't even give you a second glance."

  "Mrs. Deng?" Qin Yu was startled.

  "Not bad! I don't know why they all want to save you, and I don't want to know!" Jin Wei slowly drew his sword, the four-inch wide long sword gradually flashing out of its scabbard, revealing a ferocious face. "You've entered Madame Deng's eyes, sooner or later, you'll also enter Yin Yin's line of sight... In the past, I was too soft-hearted, and as a result, Deng Qianwan took advantage of it first. I won't make the same mistake again, little one, just accept your fate!"

  Cold light suddenly shot out in all directions, countless sharp blades danced wildly, enveloping the surrounding area of several square meters.

  In that instant, Jin Wei had already drawn his long sword and rushed forward, continuously slashing out more than a dozen swords.

  A burst of clear and crisp sounds like celestial music echoed repeatedly in the mountain cave. Sparks flew out from the collision of steel, scattering and falling within a few feet around.

  When the fleeting splendor had all disappeared, Jin Wei retreated to his original position, with his sword held horizontally in front of his chest and a solemn expression. On his left shoulder was a small tear, with fragmented silk exposed underneath.

  In front of him, Qin Yu's right hand grasped a green short sword, naturally hanging down by his side. His chest had been slashed with one stroke, the outer garment torn open for more than half a foot, revealing the black leather jacket inside.

  But... it seems that Kin'ei's technique isn't swordsmanship.

  "What kind of swordsmanship is this, it looks like a mess?" Qin Yu's expression was calm and his eyes were fixed on Jin Wei's broadsword. This guy used such a thick sword, originally because he also mastered knife skills.

  "Wind Chasing Seventeen Linked Slashes!" Jin Wei looked at Qin Yu's short sword, "This sword of yours is quite good, today my harvest will be pretty good."

  "That also depends on whether you have a life to take away." Qin Yu smiled and replied, "Why do you want to use knife skills? Isn't your swordsmanship good enough?"

  Jin Wei originally didn't want to answer, but couldn't help saying: "Jin Mou's swordsmanship is a hundred times stronger than yours."

  "Why don't you use your swordsmanship then? Are you afraid that if you kill me with a sword, Madam Deng and Miss Zeng will find out from the wounds, right? How hypocritical!" Qin Yu sneered.

  The sword light flashed again.

  Tan Yun desperately waved the short sword in his hand and resisted with all his might.

  They quickly separated again. Jin Wei sneered: "Do you know how powerful this young master's swordsmanship is?"

  This time the sword light flashed only five times, and Qin Yu's left sleeve was torn open with a big hole, but he himself knew that he had not only been hit by this sword, but also had a big mouth on his back, which was even more ruthless, and the family-transmitted leather jacket that protected him was also cut through. It could be clearly felt that blood was flowing from there.

  Qin Yu gritted his teeth and said coldly, "The Dark Realm bullies the Bright Realm, an adult bullying a child! You are indeed ruthless! Your entire family is made up of ruthless people!"

  "Kid, your mouth is quite sharp! The material of this sword isn't bad, it's almost on par with my giant axe. What a pity, what a shame, your swordsmanship is too poor, it doesn't match up to the sword! Even if I only use knife techniques, you'd still be dead by now." Jin Wei was furious, his counterattack even more ruthless.

  Tan Yun successfully enraged Jin Wei, but at this time, he himself almost got angry and lost his composure.

  My dad is good at practicing guns or swords? Besides reciting the Heart Sutra of Sword Scripture from memory, where can I find a teacher to guide me?

  Actually, when Qin Yu was young, he had practiced all sorts of long and short weapons, but since he had been bedridden for a while, he could only imagine wielding swords and staffs in his mind. The effect was naturally much reduced. At the same time, although he had just recovered for a year and had the Tian Shi Fa Jian sword in hand, his coordination between hands and feet was still not very good. When pressured by Jin Wei, an old expert in dark environments, the difference was immediately apparent.

  What's going on? He's completely no match for him! If he keeps fighting like this, he'll definitely die, and with a few more sword strikes, all the blood in his body will be drained...

  There must be another way.
