March 7th was unaware that her words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy. At this moment, Dan Heng was indeed in a bit of bad luck, not to mention that he had been separated from his companions because of Blake's bomb, and now he had been stabbed through the back.
"So, you think only hunters infiltrated the Xianzhou?"
Seeing Dan Heng suddenly grow dragon horns and undergo a dramatic change in his attire, Ren's words successfully ignited Yanqing's anger. What do these guys take Luofu for?!
Snowflakes began to fall all around. "Since that's the case, I have no choice but to capture you all and hand you over to the general for judgment!"
"Hey... when he said 'you guys,' he probably didn't include the two of us, right?" Silver Wolf asked in a low voice.
"Hmm~ What, you want to go up and have some fun?" Kafka remained relaxed, and the three people in the center of the arena all thought they could take on two opponents at once.
"No, no, no, hackers are only good at strategizing, not fighting!" Silver Wolf quickly waved her hand. Besides, Dan Heng still had that unfortunate [ Eternity ] on him, so she wouldn't get involved.
On the battlefield, several ice swords pierced towards the two men behind Yanqing. "I've heard of your infamous reputation, Imbibitor Lunae. I never imagined that besides the Stellaron Hunters, there would be another serious criminal infiltrating the Xianzhou..."
"... I had no intention of starting a conflict; I just wanted to confirm my friend's safety."
"Hmph! Such sophistry! We can talk about that in Prison of Deep Seclusion."
Communication failed, Yanqing was now deaf to all advice. Left with no other option, Dan Heng resorted to force. "... Get out of the way."
"Very good, very good, that's it! Imbibitor Lunae, you'll probably never see your friends again..." Ren had an expression that suggested he was enjoying the show.
" Shut Up, you're not leaving either!"
Yanqing attacked everyone present indiscriminately. When Silver Wolf saw an ice sword flying towards her, she used [ Eternity ] to dodge it.
"So confident? Does he really have a trump card up his sleeve?"
Yanqing was now able to take on four opponents without flinching, which made Silver Wolf suspicious.
"... Alright, then let's add fuel to the fire, Kafka!"
"Hmm." Kafka didn't refuse, activating her [ Spirit Whisper ]: " Blade, listen to me, release the [Binding]."
"I never intended to use this power..."
Yanqing was not afraid at all, and manipulated the ice sword to block Ren and Dan Heng.
Seeing Dan Heng's weak attacks, Ren sneered, "What, can't bring yourself to use your full strength against this kid?"
"(I don't know what their situation is like in March 7th... We must finish this quickly... We can't delay any longer.)" Dan Heng also realized the urgency of the situation and swung his Cloud-Piercing Spear:
"I didn't want to start a major conflict, but I have no other choice right now... I'm sorry."
Swish!
The Cloud-Piercer Spear split into multiple segments, which was a complete counter to Yanqing's ice blades, utterly eliminating them.
"That move looks so familiar." Silver Wolf, who was watching the show, groaned, a strong sense of déjà vu washing over him.
She could not Enigmata the battle against Blake in the Eternity Sanctuary, where Sampo was the main force and she was just a supporting character.
Who would believe that a bar of soap could fight Sampo to a standstill? This Chair is clearly very strong, but he is overly cautious, afraid of any unexpected changes. As the fight goes on, the soap keeps splitting into multiple clones.
Most importantly, the Aether Editing Silver Wolf was so proud of was meaningless in front of him, and the underlying code was extremely difficult to modify!
Sampo wasn't much better off, being chased by a swarm of soaps that seemed ready to explode at any moment. It's a shame he doesn't have the stamina to participate in an interstellar marathon.
"You two are indeed troublesome. It seems that if we want to keep you here, we'll have to resort to this tactic!"
Since Dan Heng has made the first move, then don't blame Yanqing for being impolite!
Bang!
The moment the Cloud-Piercer Spear with a sharp clang, and a chilling aura emanated from it.
"Hahahaha... Imbibitor Lunae, your martial arts have deteriorated too much. Now you can't even beat Jing Yuan's lackey?" Ren naturally couldn't avoid a round of mockery, thinking that he had something big up his sleeve.
"Blocked it?" Dan Heng was somewhat surprised. Even after Ye Yan made two improvements to the Cloud-Piercer, Yanqing was still the first to block this move.
After a century, have the Cloud Knights's combat skills become this formidable?
"Wait, I have a bad feeling..." Silver Wolf's face suddenly tightened, and his originally relaxed eyebrows drooped heavily towards the bridge of his nose.
When Kafka saw Yanqing use his hidden trump card, she almost couldn't hold back and a smile crept onto her lips.
"Ah, things are getting interesting."
Surprisingly, she was quite interested in parts outside the Script.
"What the heck is this Milk Tea Sword?!"
Silver Wolf simply couldn't resist. She wouldn't have said anything if it were just a cup of milk tea, but it was a longsword shaped like a milk tea cup, looking like a little toy from a roadside stall.
Upon seeing this, Dan Heng's furrowed brows immediately relaxed; after all that fighting, they were actually on friendly forces.
but...
They were all taught by the same master, so I can't break their moves!
If you were to ask Yanqing what else he cherishes besides swordsmanship, you would only receive a straightforward answer:
"Interest will only slow down the speed at which I draw my sword!"
Just like a child who loves buying toys endlessly, he spared no expense to purchase most of the swords produced by the Artisanship Commission —flying swords manipulated by true qi, short blades for close combat, and flexible swords that could extend and retract at will.
He knows every specification and function like the back of his hand, and often buys two: one to use and the other to keep as a treasured possession.
By the end of the month, they often find themselves in a situation where they "eat the general's food, use the general's supplies, and pitifully beg the general's help."
A young man's love for swords is only natural; what Yanqing's collection of Xianzhou swords reflects and shimmers is a dream:
Become the number one in Luofu... no, the number one in Xianzhou!
To claim the title of " Sword Champion " of Luofu, and even " Sword Ward " of the Alliance!
As mentioned in the previous chapter, by chance, Yanqing met Ye Yan and was amazed by his skill in turning milk tea into flying swords.
After countless days and nights of deep thought, Yanqing finally figured out the secret.
To learn the technique of turning anything into a sword, one must regard that object as a "sword." For this purpose, Yanqing specially asked the craftsmen of the Artisanship Commission to forge a sword with a strange shape for him.
I even went to Ye Yan's shop to buy the first and last cup of milk tea, and asked the master to make the sword blade a gradient tea color, from the dark tea color at the tip to the milky white color at the hilt, just like the layered effect of milk tea and milk foam, in keeping with the original work.
He even changed the hilt to a frosted texture and added gold thread wrapping that resembled a straw.
Simply resembling the appearance is far from enough. According to descriptions in martial arts novels, this sword is merely an empty shell, lacking any sword spirit.
Lacking the essence of milk tea, Yanqing, carrying a sword, paid a second visit to Ye Yan.
"As expected of the strongest swordsman on the Xianzhou [ Luofu ]! His comprehension is truly remarkable!"
Ye Yan nodded in satisfaction, his eyes full of recognition and appreciation for his junior. Artisanship Commission's technology was trustworthy; they could really make the Milk Tea Flying Sword.
After ensuring there were no problems with the sword, Ye Yan began to imbue it with spirit. In addition to the omnipotent [ Eternity ], he actually added a realistic milk tea effect to the weapon.
The scabbard is like flowing milk tea; with each swing of the sword, you can even smell the sweet aroma of milk tea.
Born for the sword and obsessed with it, Yanqing is a genius in his youth. When he holds a sword, no one dares to underestimate him. So as long as Yanqing takes out the Milk Tea Sword, he is invincible!
