Chapter 125: Pitfall—Si Gu Jian!

Shadow said to Si Gu Jian expressionlessly: "I am also a swordsman."

The voice was cold and firm, as if carrying an unshakable determination.

"Today I am meeting the Grand Master, so I have to ask for his advice."

Shadow's eyes revealed undisguised desire and challenge.

Si Gu Jian glanced at the shadow and said, "Okay, come on!"

His tone was casual yet confident, as if he didn't care about the upcoming battle at all.

As he spoke, Si Gu Jian had already made his move.

His figure flashed, as fast as a ghost, and the sword in his hand turned into a cold light and stabbed towards the shadow with the force of thunder.

Shadow held a heavy sword. A heavy sword weighing a hundred pounds looked like an ordinary sword in Shadow's hand.

The heavy sword wielded freely in his hand, without appearing cumbersome at all.

Shadow's sword moves are also extremely extraordinary, and each move seems to be the essence of swordsmanship.

But upon closer inspection, I found that this was not the traditional sword technique at all, and each move was just an ordinary sword move.

However, these seemingly ordinary sword moves, when used by shadows, are full of endless power and changes.

Si Gu Jian only used one sword from beginning to end. That seemingly simple sword contained infinite power and exquisite skills.

Ordinary people, even those who are also grand masters, have to be careful when facing Si Gu Jian's sword moves.

But Shadow faced the challenge head-on, relying on the advantage of the heavy sword in his hand, and took the blow.

When the heavy sword collided with Si Gu Jian's sword, there was a deafening sound and sparks flew.

Shadow's arms trembled slightly, but his eyes became more determined and he did not back down.

It is also because of this that Si Gu Jian thinks highly of Shadow.

A gleam of admiration flashed in Si Gu Jian's eyes, and Si Gu Jian was even willing to spend time to practice a few moves with Shadow.

Su Wenyi watched Si Gu Jian start to fight with the shadow, his eyes full of smiles.

Very good, now that Si Gu Jian has started to fight with Shadow, it means that Si Gu Jian is not going to kill Shadow directly.

Perhaps he was attracted by his talent? After all, Si Gu Jian was a martial arts fanatic, and he couldn't find anyone of the same level who could fight him.

Even if Si Gu Jian wanted to fight someone who could fight him, no one else would be willing to do so. I'm afraid none of his disciples could take Si Gu Jian's sword.

Now, there is a swordsman with superb swordsmanship who is not afraid of him to challenge him. This should be a good toy for Si Gu Jian.

The more Si Gu Jian does this, the more benefits it will bring to Yingzi.

Now Shadow is stuck in the last realm of swordsmanship, which is the legendary realm of no swords. Grass, wood, bamboo and stone can all be swords!
As long as he reaches this level, Shadow can be considered to have truly entered the realm of a Grand Master. At that time, he may still not be able to defeat Si Gu Jian, but at least he will have the qualifications to fight him squarely.

Instead of being like now, where I can only be treated like a toy by Si Gu Jian.

Besides, if they didn't do this, how could they create an opportunity to kill Si Gu Jian?
Su Wenyi watched the battle quietly. Yingzi and Si Gu Jian were getting into the groove.

Shadow's fighting ability was unique among the upper ninth rank warriors. Every attack he made was full of strength and determination, and every defense he made was just right.

Especially with various bonuses, heavy sword, enemy, and desperate situation.

All these things combined have made the current Shadow, the most perfect and powerful Shadow.

The battle between Si Gu Jian and Shadow became more and more intense. From the very beginning, Si Gu Jian held back. His attacks seemed fierce, but in fact he was measured. He was just testing Shadow's strength and potential.

By now Si Gu Jian had already started to fight back, but he was still showing mercy when he fought back.

Each of his sword strikes became more powerful, but at critical moments he would always hold back a little, as if he didn't want to end the battle too early.

It seemed that Si Gu Jian also wanted to see how far this mysterious swordsman in front of him could grow! His eyes were full of expectation and curiosity, as if he was carving a piece of unpolished jade.

Just as everyone was watching the fight, several figures in the crowd began to slowly approach Su Wenyi.

Su Wenyi stood in place, and at this time a ninth-grade master holding a dagger appeared behind Su Wenyi.

Just when the ninth-rank master was about to make a move, Su Wenyi suddenly turned around.

Su Wenyi looked at the assassin in front of him with a smile and said, "You want to kill me?"

"Who are you? How dare you attack me in this place?"

The assassin did not expect that Su Wenyi would actually react, and instead of showing any fear, he asked himself back.

The assassin sneered and said, "I will tell you when you die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin suddenly attacked, and the dagger instantly stabbed at Su Wenyi.

The moment the assassin attacked, his face changed drastically!

The touch of the dagger did not feel like stabbing into flesh, but rather like touching metal.

Su Wenyi reached out and grabbed the assassin's arm, the smile on Su Wenyi's face still there.

Su Wenyi asked with a smile: "I caught you, little mouse!"

"Now, tell me who sent you here, and I'll give you a quick death."

"If not, I guarantee you'll regret it."

"Believe me, I have the ability." Su Wenyi's voice was warm and magnetic, but it sounded extremely cold in the assassin's ears.

The voice seemed to carry an invisible pressure, like a cold wind blowing, which made the assassin's heart involuntarily feel a chill and fear following him like a shadow.

The assassin took a deep breath, then took out the dagger with his other hand and pointed it at Su Wenyi's eyes. His movements were swift and decisive, and his eyes were filled with desperate killing intent, as if this blow was bound to severely injure Su Wenyi.

However, his heart was trembling violently, because he knew that he was facing an extremely dangerous opponent.

This time, Su Wenyi did not give the assassin any chance.

His figure moved like a ghost, so fast that it was almost difficult to see clearly. Because Su Wenyi was faster, he grabbed the assassin's other hand one step ahead.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and Su Wenyi's hands were like iron clamps, tightly clamping the assassin's wrist.

The assassin's hands were grabbed by Su Wenyi.

"Card wipe!"

A bone-breaking sound was heard, crisp and creepy.

The intense pain instantly spread throughout the assassin's body like an electric current. His face turned pale in an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his lips trembled in pain, making a hissing sound.

"Ahhh!"

Without waiting for the assassin to shout, Su Wenyi's hand flashed with golden light, which was dazzling and dazzling, like a mysterious power. He stabbed the assassin's chest without hesitation.

In an instant, the assassin's face changed drastically, and he felt suffocated. His eyes widened, and his pupils were filled with fear and disbelief. He made a "gurgling" sound in his throat, and wanted to struggle and resist, but his body was completely out of control.

Every breath became extremely difficult, and every cell was howling in pain. His legs were weak and he could hardly stand. He could only helplessly feel the passage of life, and the despair and helplessness overwhelmed him like a tide.

The assassin looked at Su Wenyi, his pupils full of shock!

"Aren't you a scholar? How come you have such powerful strength?"

Su Wenyi listened to the assassin's words and said with a smile: "This is not the answer I want."

As he spoke, Su Wenyi exerted a little force with his palm.

As Su Wenyi exerted force with his palm, the assassin's face instantly turned crimson purple!

All the strength in his body was drained away, and just when the assassin wanted to kneel down, Su Wenyi reached out and supported the assassin.

Su Wenyi's gentle voice sounded again.

"Tell me, who told you to kill me!"

The assassin stuttered, "Yes, yes. Inspection Bureau."

Su Wenyi was obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

Su Wenyi frowned, feeling somewhat confused.

The Inspection Bureau sent a killer to kill me? And this person is a ninth-rank master.

Interesting, Chen Pingping wants to kill me?
No, it’s more likely to be Emperor Qing!
In Dongyi City, he let other ninth-rank masters kill me. It seems that Emperor Qing can no longer hide his murderous intention.

But it doesn’t matter. When I return to Kyoto, I will settle accounts with both of them one by one.

Thinking of this, Su Wenyi exerted force again.

Pfft!

The assassin's heart exploded instantly!
The next second, the assassin lay on the ground powerless.

At the same time, this scene was also seen by the assassin hiding in the dark.

Su Wenyi naturally noticed those people, but to Su Wenyi, these people were no longer important.

Because the time has come!
The shadow was knocked away by Si Gu Jian and fell to the ground.

After Si Gu Jian landed, he looked at the shadow lying on the ground spitting blood, his face full of admiration.

Si Gu Jian said slowly: "Among the nine rank swordsmen in the world, you should be ranked first!"

"With that last strike of the sword just now, you have successfully entered the realm of a grandmaster."

"If you heal your wounds well, you will become the sixth grandmaster in the world!"

"Now, join my Dongyi City and I will spare your life!"

Just as Si Gu Jian was about to speak, Su Wenyi hurriedly walked up to Si Gu Jian and said, "Grandmaster, this is my man. Is it appropriate to do this?"

Si Gu Jian sneered, "You, too, today."

"call out!"

In the distance, Yan Xiaoyi shot an arrow, heading straight for Si Gu Jian's face!

Si Gu Jian raised his hand and grabbed the arrow.

Si Gu Jian looked at the arrow in his hand and said with disdain: "Bow and arrow? It's just a child's toy!"

"If you don't join me, I'll kill you right now!"

Before Si Gu Jian could finish his words, Su Wenyi attacked!
boom!
Su Wenyi's full-strength attack hit Si Gu Jian's chest, and Si Gu Jian flew backwards.

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion turned into ruins in an instant!
This sudden change shocked everyone present!
