As the thin fog grew thicker, the ordinary disciples of Aoyama couldn't see what was happening in the high sky anymore; they could only vaguely see that the sword light was moving upward.
All of a sudden, a series of sword sounds rang out in the high sky. By the time the sounds reached the ground, they were already very faint, like a gentle spring rain.
The people thought that Jian Ruyun had seen through Ping Yong-Ka's escape art and was launching a series of attacks at him.
Hearing the sword sounds, the crowd was stunned, wondering how high Jian Ruyun's Cultivation state was since he could strike so many sword moves in such a short time.
The clouds and fog suddenly dispersed a bit, revealing a passage. Ping Yong-Ka dropped down from the high sky and landed on the stone pillar where he had been standing.
His fall was so violent that he couldn't stand firmly on his legs. His left knee went soft, and he knelt down, smashing heavily on the surface of the stone pillar.
A cracking sound was heard again. More gravel fell from the damaged stone pillar, and it started to sway. It was extremely likely that it would collapse.
Seeing this, the disciples of Aoyama cried out in surprise again.
Lei Il-kyung, Yao Songshan, and the others thought excitedly that he was indeed the personal disciple of the Senior Grandmaster; he didn't die in such a situation.
But, where was Jian Ruyun? Why hadn't he shown up yet? It was evident that Ping Yong-Ka didn't have the strength to fight anymore, and he could win the battle without killing him. Was it because he wasn't satisfied?
As the crowd was thinking about this, the clouds and fog dispersed again, revealing a passage, and a dark shadow fell down from the high sky.
"Save him!" Guo Nanshan yelled with a slightly changed expression.
Before he could say anything, the Elder of Yunxing Peak, Shi Mingxuan, had already flown off the platform and arrived at the foot of the stone pillar at a high speed, catching Jian Ruyun by a hair's breadth.
Jian Ruyun was unconscious, and his body was covered with sword wounds, blood seeping out incessantly. It was evident that he was severely wounded.
There was an uproar in the crowd. Everybody fixed their gazes on Ping Yong-Ka, who was still kneeling on the top of the stone pillar, wondering in astonishment if he had won the sword fight in the high sky.
Even Merry and Lin Wuzhi revealed expressions of disbelief.
Jian Ruyun was a real swordsman on Liangwang Peak, and he was almost as powerful as Guo Nanshan. How could he be defeated by a disciple who had only been here for ten years?
Ping Yong-Ka stood up with difficulty. Before he could say anything, he spat out a mouthful of blood, causing another round of exclamations.
However, everyone could tell that his injury was much lighter than Jian Ruyun's.
A breeze was blowing from the top of Tianguang Peak, ruffling the sea of clouds and his clothes. Many people noticed that dozens of sword lights were being absorbed into his body along with the breeze.
What kind of sword technique was this? Many Aoyama disciples were lost in their thoughts.
The elders of various peaks who had participated in the Sword Trial of Aoyama had different expressions on their faces; some of them looked grave, and some of them looked gratified.
Ping Yong-Ka lifted his sleeve to wipe off the blood on his face. He took a look at Jian Ruyun, who was in a coma, and then looked at the high platform on Xilai Peak and the figure in the Heavenly Arrival State with fluttering silver eyebrows. He asked calmly but provocatively, "This is the Born Shapeless Sword Body. Do you understand it?"
…
…
After Jian Ruyun wounded Lei Il-kyung on purpose, he said, "Do you really think there is such a thing as the Born Shapeless Sword Body in this world?"
Those who thought Jing Jiu was a sword devil all thought so. Jing Jiu could achieve those unimaginable things only because he was a sword.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Ping Yong-Ka to wound Jian Ruyun. According to him, he had used the Shapeless Sword Body!
Even he had learned the Shapeless Sword Body; why couldn't his Master Jing Jiu have learned it?
Are you going to say that Ping Yong-Ka is also a sword devil?
But there is only one All in One Sword in the world.
Shi Mingxuan's furious shout came from the foot of the Sword Woods, "Take down this devil man!"
Jian Ruyun was wounded severely, and it was obvious that some of his meridians had been cut off. It was hard to say whether he could continue his Cultivation. As Jian Ruyun's Master, Shi Mingxuan was so furious that he wished he could kill Ping Yong-Ka on the spot.
However, the response to this elder of Yunxing Peak was a stretch of silence.
Nobody responded to him, and nobody took down Ping Yong-Ka as he had requested. Nobody even cast a glance at him.
The atmosphere at the foot of Tianguang Peak was quite weird at the moment.
Everybody's gazes were fixed on a high platform among the cliffs.
It was the place where Ping Yong-Ka was looking at when he said that.
Fang Jingtian was sitting there.
Guangyuan Zhenren, Chi Yan, Mo Chi, and the others were looking at him in Silence.
You said that Jing Jiu is a sword devil; but how do you explain what has happened today?
…
…
Mei Li led Ping Yong-Ka to Cloudy Town. She didn't go to Scenery Garden right away; instead, she took him on a stroll in the town.
"Have you found anything wrong?" she asked softly.
Looking at the people in the restaurants and teahouses, Ping Yong-Ka remarked with furrowed brows, "There are so many Cultivation practitioners."
Mei Li said with a smile, "They all want to meet the Immortal Jingyang. Though they were driven away once, who would really give up? The Cultivation practitioners live a long life, and a few decades are nothing to them. Maybe they think this is a test for them by the Immortal. "
Ping Yong-Ka said, "I know you're trying to persuade me to think it over. But don't worry, I won't act recklessly."
In fact, what he was thinking was that Fang Jingtian had already reached the Heavenly Arrival State. Even if he didn't give an explanation to the Shenmo Peak, what could he do?
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Senior Master, why are you so sure that my Master is the Immortal Jingyang?"
Mei Li had taught in the Hall of Sword Washing for decades. The disciples of Aoyama were used to calling her Senior Master Mei Li, but it wasn't an accurate order.
Hearing Ping Yong-Ka's question, she smiled but didn't explain.
After the Grand Ceremony of the Sect Master, Nan Wang disappeared for a day and started drinking as soon as he came back. He was drunk to this day. Mei Li couldn't figure out what had happened.
Not many people knew that Nan Wang liked the Immortal Jingyang, and she happened to be one of them.
After leaving Cloudy Town and arriving before the thick fog, Mei Li said, "Your Master and the others have been living here these years."
Having said that, she left on her sword.
She believed that the Immortal Jingyang was living in Scenery Garden, but she couldn't stay here because of Nan Wang, nor could she go in.
Ping Yong-Ka bowed to the sword light heading toward the peaks of Aoyama with a solemn expression.
When he straightened his body, he suddenly changed into a different person. He rushed toward the thick fog and shouted excitedly, "Master! Senior Master! Senior Brothers! I'm coming! "
The Cultivation practitioners in Cloudy Town had already noticed his and Mei Li's movements, so they had been staring at them. Seeing him rushing into the fog, they couldn't help but sneer, wondering where this idiot came from. Wasn't he courting death? But in the next moment, the sneers on their lips froze, because that person had really rushed into the fog!
…
…
Ping Yong-Ka didn't know that the thick fog was a formation. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Would his Master stop him outside if he knew it was him?
With this thought in mind, he rushed into the fog and arrived in front of the gate of Scenery Garden.
Seeing the large courtyard in front of him, he was taken aback. He straightened his clothes, walked up the stone steps, pushed open the tightly closed gate, and walked into the courtyard … but he didn't see anyone.
There was no one under the flowering trees, by the stream, or under the roofed corridor.
Ping Yong-Ka's face was a bit pale. He searched Scenery Garden a few times as quickly as he could, but he didn't find anyone or a cat here, nor could he hear Cold Cicada.
Looking at the empty courtyard, he felt quite regretful. He raised his right hand and slapped his own face slightly, saying, "You're really an idiot! If you had restrained your temper and listened to the others, you would have known that my Master and the others had already left Aoyama. Why did you have to stay in the mountains? Maybe you should have learned from Big Brother Gu Qing how to talk like a monkey! "
In the next moment, Jing Jiu recalled that his Master had told him that he couldn't leave the mountains until he broke the Sea Breaking State; feeling a bit better, he continued while rubbing his slightly painful cheek, "But you couldn't leave Aoyama if my Master didn't come to pick you up, right? It's a good thing that you can leave the mountains on your own. And you've done a great job! "
Thinking that he had defeated that person on the Xilai Peak and Jian Ruyun in the Sword Trial of Aoyama, Jing Jiu let out a silly smile. He was finally in the mood to enjoy the scenery in Scenery Garden.
The flowering trees were still blooming without being taken care of; the koi fish were swimming freely in the stream without being watched.
Thinking that Big Brother Gu Qing and the others had been watching these flowering trees and the stream in the last few years, the smile on Ping Yong-Ka's face grew even more silly.
In the next moment, he noticed six faint marks on the floor under the roofed corridor. He guessed that the marks were made by the legs of the bamboo chair. Rolling his eyes, he sat on the chair gingerly and moved his buttocks, revealing a satisfied smile.
As the sunlight shifted, the scenery in Scenery Garden changed accordingly. The smile on Jing Jiu's face gradually disappeared, leaving only a sad expression.
