Settling Unfinished Business (Part 2)

As leaves departed from home, a clear and gentle breeze swayed their clothing. The suave and free-spirited young man brandished his sword enhanced with blue energy. The aloof and proud youth clutched his black broad sword with a vice-like grip.Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

The two former dark horses and now greatest swordsman of Moyun Mountains young generation faced off at Universe Sect. The duel was organised to decide who the superior swordsman was as circumstances rigged the results in their previous clash.

Mu Yu’s wind-whistling slash was executed smoothly, while Gu Yitian’s was a straightforward strike but packed full of brutality. Their clash in the air resulted in flashing lights and qi sprayed ubiquitously. With every exchange, the air temperature would rise.

Mu Yu executed Dustfallen Swordplay’s fifth technique, Falling Dragon Howls the Sky Down, a strike concealed in a feint. Five flying swords elevated Mu Yu and drew in spiritual energy to form five fierce azure dragons around each sword. Gu Yitian brought down his sword, creating a vacuum around his sword.

Boom! The dragons disappeared, but their weapons were intact, and the two had exchanged positions. However, the landscape had been rearranged.

“Gu Yitian’s style is powerful, rigid and relies on brute strength. Body cultivation should never be underestimated,” commented Daoist Qing Song.

“Mu Yu’s strikes are coordinated and free flowing, adapting to cancel Tian’er’s might. I always said Dustfallen Swordplay’s intricacies were immeasurable,” complimented Daoist Bo Yang.

“I’m glad you haven’t let me down,” stated Gu Yitian, monitoring Mu Yu’s sword.

“Your swordsmanship reminds me of a swordsman. Like you, his techniques are simplistic, but his swordplay is to be feared.”

The air trembled, and the wind vigorously blew in the opposite direction upon contact. The back and forth push created gorges around until both had to back off. Neither swordsman was done.

“You’re strong,” Mu Yu praised.

“Right back at you.”

Gu Yitian’s body was numb because Mu Yu injected sword qi into Gu Yitian’s sword during their trade.

Crack!

“You might not have lost if you had a good sword,” remarked Mu Yu.

“Victory and defeat are not a question of sword quality. If a man believes in his swordsmanship and sword, his sword is a good sword. I accept defeat.”

Nameless Swordsman held the same view. His sword was an ordinary iron sword, but he trusted his comrade wholeheartedly.

“Nameless Swordsman will kill anyone who damages his iron sword. I, too, will.” Gu Yitian racked his sword on his back and sauntered over to Daoist Bo Yang.

“I’ll be waiting for the next match.”
