Chapter 115: Washing the Jade Sword

  The abnormal behavior of Lie Yan immediately caught the attention of Long Yan and the other three, who also came to the edge of the hill to look down, and they all took a deep breath. In just a short while, the people at the foot of the mountain had already approached much closer.

  Although nothing can be seen in the windy and moonlit night, it can also be inferred from the quiet actions of the five people.

  I came from behind the five of them and said slowly: "What did you all see?"

  The five of them turned around together, their faces looking ugly. The fierce flames spoke viciously: "We can't escape, and you won't survive either!"

  I came from nowhere and smiled casually, with an air of indifference to life and death.

  Fierce flames let out a loud roar, swinging the knife towards me from where I came, the scorching heat emitted by the blade seemed to ignite the air itself, and before the knife even arrived, I could already feel this wave of heat from where I came.

  I didn't dodge where I came from, and with a probe of his right hand, the sword that he had hesitated to draw finally came out.

  I drew my sword, and the Flame Blade was mounted on it. According to the previous narrative of the Flame Blade, ordinary weapons should not be able to withstand this so-called Gray Bone Knife, but my sword from somewhere has clearly completely withstood this move. Only Feng Xiao Xiao knows what's going on, and the sword in my hand is naturally the leisurely Washing Flower Sword, which is a famous sword in the arsenal and not an ordinary weapon.

  I drew a sword from somewhere, immediately unleashing my ultimate move to borrow strength and strike with force. The sword body was pulled to the side, and the fierce flames of the knife seemed to be stuck, and the person was also thrown to one side.

  Flames gathered, he let out a loud roar and charged again, shouting "Let's see how many times you can block!" Apparently, he thought the sword in my hand was just an ordinary sword, definitely unable to withstand his continuous pounding.

  I came from nowhere, smiling and shaking my head. The sword in my hand actively welcomed the incoming attack. The sword stuck to the left side of Lie Yan's knife, which had been chopped down by the flames. I came from nowhere, flipping my wrist, and Lie Yan's knife suddenly turned around, slanting towards his own left leg.

  Lie Yan was shocked, and with a sudden burst of strength, he thrust his knife downwards, striking the ground. The blade sizzled as it hit the snow-covered earth, instantly melting and evaporating the snow, creating a large patch of fog. From within the mist, my left hand emerged from nowhere and pressed against Lie Yan's chest, causing him to stumble backward several steps, barely avoiding a fall.

  "I come from nowhere," I said faintly, "You're still far from beating me!"

  Not only Long Yan and the others, but even Lin Zirong's Feng Xiao and Liu Yue were shocked. The power I borrowed to strike was simply divine, Lian Hua's strength was already not bad, let alone now that he had a precious sword, his swordsmanship had also improved, and it was no longer comparable to when we were at Mount Hua, but the final outcome was still the same as last time, defeated in my hands without even three moves.

  The fierce flames let out a loud roar, just as they were about to pounce again, the mountain top had become noisy, and the crowd at the foot of the mountain had all swarmed to the top. The air was filled with the sound of people shouting and looking for their targets. The wind swept around in a circle, and indeed it was a group of people from the east, but the leader, Shi Shou, was nowhere to be seen.

  Accidentally catching a glimpse of Liu Yue beside him, Liu Yue's eyes shone brightly as he stared fixedly at the forest outside, his expression extremely agitated. Feng Xiao couldn't help but gently push him, and Liu Yue turned back, bringing with him an inquiring gaze.

  The wind whispered softly: "Are you or are you not from the Fei Long Mountain Villa? You're helping those five who were almost torn apart, and yet you still look so happy."

  "When all else fails, of course I'll help!"

  "What is considered as having no other choice?"

  Liu Yue suddenly stretched out his index finger to his lips, signaling Feng Xiao Xiao to be quiet. Feng Xiao Xiao followed his gaze and looked over, I was scanning the area from where I came from. Because it's darker inside the woods and brighter outside, it's easy to see outside from in, but harder for outsiders to see in. I scanned around once, seemingly not noticing anything! Indeed a master, Feng Xiao Xiao thought to himself, no longer daring to make a sound.

  The crowd from outside the forest had already identified their target and surrounded Longyan and others. Longyan and others also took out their weapons, waiting in a tight formation.

  The crowd was about to rush forward, but Lie Yan's actions were the fastest and most despicable. He suddenly pulled Liu Ruoxue from the ground, held a knife to her neck, and shouted: "Who dares to take another step forward!"

  Everyone was stunned, and it was the first time for most people to encounter such a hostage situation in the game. A small number of people who had encountered it twice before were also shocked, as both times involved the same kidnapper, the same knife, and the same hostage, with only different demands being made.

  Although everyone has not personally experienced such an event, they have seen pigs run without eating pork. In theory, it is called preventing the villain from jumping over the wall in desperation, and the safety of the hostage's life should be put first.

  I couldn't help but scold myself for being careless, although it wasn't the first time I'd been held hostage by Lie Yan's flames. But others still hadn't fully prepared themselves mentally, and they didn't even have any defenses in place, making it easy for him to succeed once again.

  Lie Yan saw that no one dared to move and began to order with a complacent tone: "All of you retreat down the mountain slope!"

  The crowd looked at each other in dismay, but had to slowly retreat towards the edge of the hill. The surging crowd immediately became like frost-bitten grasshoppers.

  Suddenly, a flying knife came out of nowhere in the crowd and flew straight towards Lie Yan's forehead. The speed and accuracy of the knife were quite impressive.

  Lie Yan had only experienced being kidnapped twice, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by a sniper. By the time he realized it, it was too late to dodge, and the flying dagger came straight for his head. With the system's damage settings, Lie Yan could only think to himself that his life was over. He regretted not having enough time to shout out something like "I'm still a good sweat after 20 years!"

  Just as everyone in the audience, including Lie Yan himself, thought that this knife was about to succeed, the flying knife suddenly turned around automatically in mid-air and flew back. The crowd's surprised gaze followed closely behind, only to see that the flying knife was flying towards Long Yan, but was blocked by Long Yan's sword. What's even more strange is that it seemed that it wasn't Long Yan who used his sword to block the flying knife, but rather the flying knife itself flew towards Long Yan's sword. Moreover, the flying knife still stuck to it and refused to come down.

  In the crowd, those with rich imagination thought it was a sticky C4 explosive flying knife and were ready to see Longyan being blown into a piece of charcoal in the rolling smoke. But there wasn't any, only seeing Longyan coolly taking the flying knife off his sword and lightly throwing it on the ground. What's even cooler is that he didn't say a word, but stood quietly with an extremely elegant demeanor.

  The wind was blowing gently, but he couldn't help thinking that Longyan could be so handsome. What surprised him even more, however, was the curved flying dagger - was someone trying to deceive him?

  Looking at Liu Yue again, there was no extreme reaction. Did he know the reason? Feng Xiao couldn't help but ask Liu Yue in a low voice: "What's going on?"

  Liū Yuè naturally knew what he was referring to. He let out a light sigh and said, "Longyán has lost to you several times, no wonder you look down on him!"

  The wind was whispering, but she didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him with confusion.

  Liu Yue continued in a low voice: "Long Yan's Washing Jade Sword, was originally ranked fourth in the military equipment spectrum. You think that's just a sword with an attack power higher than ordinary weapons? That's wrong!"

  The wind whispers nothing, and the flowing moon continues to explain.

  Liu Yue continued, "His Washing Jade Sword seems to be made of some kind of magnetite. Ordinary metal weapons will be affected by its magnetic force. The flying knife just now was definitely sucked away by Long Yan's internal energy!"

  The wind was blowing gently, but he immediately said in confusion: "But I also fought with Longyan with swords, and it seems that I didn't receive any suction power!"

  Liu Yue said carelessly, "It's possible that your sword is too heavy for it to absorb; or maybe the sword isn't within its metal-absorbing range; or maybe he wasn't using the Washing Jade Sword at that time. In short, a small flying knife like the one just now would definitely be absorbed with one try, and saying that this sword is the nemesis of hidden weapons is not an exaggeration at all!"

  The wind didn't continue to ask, and Lao Da and Xiao Yao had also fought with Long Yan before. This matter can be verified by asking them when we get back. However, looking at Liu Yue's detailed account, this shouldn't be a secret, right? Could it be that the whole Jianghu doesn't know about it, but rather, I myself didn't know, which means I really underestimated Long Yan!

  Liu Yue suddenly asked Feng Xiao Xiao: "By the way, what about the sword on your back? I seem to have never seen it!"

  The wind was howling and his heart ached, he only managed to say two words: "It's shattered!"

  "How did you break it!"

  "It's all broken and shattered!"

  Liu Yue still wouldn't give up: "That sword of yours doesn't seem too bad! Who did you get into a fight with to break it?"

  "The Treasure Hunter's Cunning Plan!"

  Liu Yue suddenly realized: "I said you two met at the tea house earlier and seemed a bit off, it turns out you have a grudge!"

  "It's nothing personal, just a difference in stance!"

  "Position?"

  "The wind whispered impatiently with a wave of his hand: 'You won't understand even if I tell you!'"

  Liu Yue cursed in a low voice: "Damn it!"

  The two of them dared to speak so freely because Longyan had blocked that flying knife and Liewu ordered everyone to move to one side of the mountain slope, naturally without forgetting where I came from. Now only Feng Xiao Xiao and Liu Yue were left behind the five of them, of course, they didn't know there were two more people.

  Outside the forest, both sides are arguing, but it can't be said to be an argument, because the fierce flames have someone's life in their hands, and I can only follow the words from where I came.

  Ling Yan made everyone give way and let them go down, and did not allow anyone to follow behind, otherwise...

  I came from afar, signaling everyone to make way. The crowd quickly parted to both sides of the road, sending off the convict for ten miles.

  Lie Yan saw that Lu had already made way and said with a sarcastic tone: "Brother, you really have some skills, even the one who came from the east with a sword has to listen to you!"

  "I come from nowhere," said lightly: "You can join Fei Long Shan Zhuang, why can't I enter Yi Jian Dong Lai!"

  Liang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then sneered: "So you're just like this! Pretentious!"

  I came from nowhere with a smile, the wind was blowing gently and I felt surprised. I came from nowhere and joined the Eastward Sword, how could he be the leader of the gang?!

  Lin Wai Lung Yat and five others have already started to leave from the crowd, Lung Yat leading the way, with three people following behind, after the fierce flames had subsided.

  Liu Yue suddenly said in a low voice to Feng Xiao Xiao: "You want to save your friend, now is the best opportunity!"

  Feng Xiao Xiao glanced at him and said: "I'm indeed very suspicious that you're from Fei Long Mountain Villa!"
