The young master of the Tianqin clan stared at Jianchen with a serious expression and said, "Your sword is too fast. It is very difficult for me to dodge, so I can only use my strongest defense. You have the qualifications to be my opponent. Now, I will use my full strength. Prepare yourself."
Jianchen held the Light Wind Sword in his hand and pointed it towards the ground. He calmly looked at the young master of the Tianqin clan and said, "Make your move!"
The young master of the Tianqin clan stared at Jian Chen with a sharp gaze. He was slightly stern as he called out, "Sand and Stone!"
A thick yellow light emitted from the young master of the Tianqin clan. In an instant, it turned into a cloud of yellow dust that covered an area of ten meters.
Jianchen's line of sight was suddenly blocked. All he could see was the yellow dust. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see anything more than a foot away. Moreover, in this yellow dust, he felt as if he had sunk into a quagmire. His entire body felt uncomfortable. It was as if this space could bind his body to a certain extent. Even if it couldn't actually make him unable to move, it still affected him to a certain extent.
"Could this be a battle skill? It really is a strange battle skill. " Jianchen thought to himself. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and the Light Wind Sword turned into a silver bolt of lightning and stabbed forward. Ding.
"Ding!" Following a clear sound, a huge sword that was hidden in the yellow dust appeared and was sent flying by the Light Wind Sword. The yellow dust shook slightly and Jianchen's Light Wind Sword continued to stab forward.
In the khaki space, the people outside couldn't see what was happening inside. They could only hear the endless sounds of weapons colliding. The entire khaki space was constantly trembling, giving people a feeling that it would break at any time.
Outside, the guards of the Tianqin clan and over a thousand onlookers all stared at the space enveloped by the yellow light. Just who was stronger between the most outstanding young master of the Tianqin clan and an outsider who was even younger than him?
Some of the guards of the Tianqin clan also looked at the yellow space with worry. The young master of the Tianqin clan possessed extraordinary talent and was the pride of the Tianqin clan. As guards of the Tianqin clan, they really did not wish for the pride of their clan to be defeated by an outsider who was much younger than them.
The Tianqin clan's second young miss also stared at the space where the two people were fighting. Even though she couldn't see the situation inside, she already knew that her elder brother's situation was extremely bad from the unceasingly trembling yellow space.
"Guard Ma, it's all your fault for being so meddlesome. When we return, all of you will be punished." The second young miss of the Tianqin clan yelled at guard Ma and the others. Although her voice was calm, it was filled with sternness.
Hearing that, the faces of Protector Ma and the others paled slightly. Their expressions immediately became a bit panicked. The second miss of the Tianqin family was deeply doted on by the family master. She was the daughter that the family master doted on the most. If she went to the Tianqin family master and said a few bad words to them, they would definitely end up in an extremely miserable state.
Thinking up to there, they immediately became rather panicked. They quickly admitted their wrongs, "The second young miss is right. This is all our fault. When we return, we will personally go to the Hall of Punishments to receive our punishment."
At this moment, the yellow dust that enveloped a radius of ten meters violently trembled before rapidly fading away, revealing the situation inside.
All that could be seen was Jianchen standing there with a sword in his right hand. The tip of the sword was pointed towards the ground. Five meters away, the young master of the Tianqin clan was wearing a yellow armor. His four foot long greatsword was stabbed into the ground.
The two of them didn't look any different from before the battle. Their clothes were still intact. However, those with sharp eyes could see that the yellow armor on the young master of the Tianqin clan had already dimmed. The yellow light that was originally circulating around it had also disappeared without a trace.
The young master of the Tianqin clan withdrew his greatsword and laughed loudly at Jianchen, "Not bad, your strength is indeed very strong. Among the younger generation, you are the only one that makes me feel like I can't defeat. I, Tianqin Xiao, admit defeat."
Jianchen withdrew his Light Wind Sword and cupped his hands towards the young master of the Tianqin clan. He smiled and said, "Young master is too polite. In this battle, the two of us only tied. There is no need to talk about victory or defeat!" From the young master of the Tianqin clan's words, Jianchen had already determined that he was a straightforward and upright person.
"A loss is a loss. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I, Qin Xiao, am not the type of person who can't accept defeat." The young master of the Tianqin clan waved his hand and said without a care. He didn't care about reputation at all.
With these words, Jianchen's opinion of the young master of the Tianqin clan changed quite a bit. His eyes held a trace of admiration.
The young master of the Tianqin clan looked at Jianchen with a serious expression and cupped his hands, "I wonder how I should address this brother. Who is your master? For you to have such strength at such a young age, you must not be a nobody."
Jianchen cupped his hands and replied, "Young master is too kind. This one is Jianchen. I come from the deep mountains and my master is a nameless hermit."
The young master of the Tianqin clan, Qin Xiao, walked in front of Jianchen. His tall and sturdy figure was a stark contrast to Jianchen's delicate body. When the two of them stood together, their figures were completely disproportionate.
Qin Xiao patted Jianchen's shoulder and said, "Brother Jianchen, you should just call me Qin Xiao. That way it sounds more comfortable. That's what my family calls me." After saying this, Qin Xiao paused and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Brother Jianchen, you are the only person in the younger generation who can defeat me. I, Qin Xiao, admire you very much. Now, I would like to invite you to our Tianqin clan as a guest. I wonder if brother Jianchen would be willing to do me the honor!"
"This …" A sliver of surprise appeared in Jianchen's eyes, and he hesitated for a moment. He never thought that Qin Xiao would invite him to the Tianqin clan as a guest as soon as he arrived. He had just arrived in Walaurent City and was unfamiliar with the Tianqin clan. Moreover, he seemed to have had some disagreements with them here. Although the young master of the Tianqin clan seemed to be straightforward and upright and would not do such a thing, if one of them held a grudge against him, then he would be like a lamb in a tiger's den.
However, Qin Xiao did not give Jianchen any room for choice. He extended his arm and wrapped it around Jianchen's shoulder in a friendly manner as they walked outside. As they walked, he said, "Let's go, brother Jianchen. I knew we were fated to meet as soon as I saw you. Let's go back to the Tianqin clan and have a good chat."
The second miss of the Tianqin clan stared with her beautiful eyes at Qin Xiao, who was holding Jianchen's shoulder like a brother. A sliver of disbelief appeared in her eyes, but it was even more incredulous. After all these years, this was the first time she had seen her brother act so friendly with someone he had just met.
When they saw how quickly the relationship between Jianchen and the young master of the Tianqin clan had changed, the guards who had conflicts with Jianchen before looked at each other and immediately became distressed. In particular, guard Ma, who had tried to kill Ming Dong, had already become the color of a pig's liver. He was filled with regret for his rash actions from before.
The Tianqin clan was an extremely large clan in Walaurent City. They were the number one clan in the city, not just in name, but also in reality. This was because the city lord of Walaurent City was a member of the Tianqin clan, and he was the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Tianqin clan.
As the number one clan in Walaurent City, the headquarters of the Tianqin clan was not in the center of the city. Instead, it was in an elegant area near the edge of the city. A large villa had been built there, and the surroundings of the villa had been beautified artificially. It was surrounded by green trees and mountains, and the exotic flowers and herbs planted in the surroundings gave off a faint fragrance that drifted through the air. It had a refreshing effect. With a single breath, one's mind would be roused, and their mind would become clearer.
Jianchen and Jianchen had both received an invitation from the young master of the Tianqin clan, Qin Xiao. The two of them had been forcefully dragged over by Qin Xiao. Along the way, Qin Xiao constantly explained a few things about the Tianqin clan to Jianchen. However, what he said was not confidential at all. Basically every resident of Walaurent City knew about it.
The Tianqin clan had a history of over four hundred years. Ever since the clan had been established, they had been silently developing in Walaurent City. In the past four hundred years, no one knew just how powerful the Tianqin clan had become. Even the young master of the Tianqin clan, Qin Xiao, only knew a little about it.
Since the Tianqin clan had been established by two people, the clan was split into two branches. One was named "Tian", while the other was named "Qin". The two branches were completely equal and were both direct descendants. They each held power and supported each other, managing the Tianqin clan together.
Jianchen constantly studied the Tianqin clan as he walked through the entrance. He secretly compared it to Changyang Prefecture. After some observation, Jianchen discovered that although the security of the Tianqin clan was tight, it was still quite a distance away from Changyang Prefecture. Just the hidden sentries alone were enough to show that the master of the Tianqin clan was on a completely different level from Changyang Prefecture.
Qin Xiao turned his head to look at the veiled second miss of the Qin clan. He said, "Second sister, you haven't returned for so long. You should go see father. Father has been thinking about you all this time while you were gone."
The second miss of the Qin clan was dressed in snow-white clothes. She quietly followed behind Qin Xiao. Her quick-witted eyes flickered with light as she glanced at Jianchen's back from time to time. She revealed a thoughtful and curious expression.
"I understand. Brother, you go entertain the guests. I'll go see father first." The second miss of the Qin clan walked to the other side with two female attendants behind her, separating from Jianchen and the others.
Within a courtyard of the Tianqin clan, this was Qin Xiao's residence. Jianchen and Ming Dong had gathered together with Qin Xiao. The table was filled with fine wine and delicacies. The fragrance of all sorts of exotic delicacies wafted over, greatly increasing one's appetite. A female attendant poured wine for them to the side.
