Threat
The split second before Tian Jijian stung his target, Gu Yitian transmitted his qi into the plain chopstick and repelled the thrust, wobbling Tian Jijian. Tian Jijian had to slam his foot on the ground to stop his backward momentum.
I can’t even beat this guy? I should be able to challenge Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s disciple, contemplated Tian Jijian. He twirled his sword into position for his next move. “Not bad. If you don’t use your sword, though, you’ll regret it!”
Tian Jijian dialled up his output this time, only for his more earnest attack to be met with, “Only a true swordsman deserves to fall to my blade.”
Gu Yitian had finally reached Ascension Realm and yearned for nothing more than a rematch with Mu Yu.
“There are superior swordsmen to those from Sword Purifying Valley?”
“Your swordplay is an infant’s play fighting compared to their swordplay.”
“Who are they?”
Gu Yitian walked to the door without answering, making Tian Jijian feel he was made a spectacle of. Tian Jijian lunged forward wrathfully, prompting the customers to skedaddle through the windows. Tian Jijian thought Gu Yitian turned around and stretched out his left hand out of instinct, so he turned his output up a notch.
Clang! Tian Jijian’s face muscles stiffened up upon landing his sword in Gu Yitian’s grasp. Gu Yitian then ejected a burst of qi onto the tip of Tian Jijian’s sword, sending Tian Jijian sliding backward.“Hahaha, Gu Yitian has hidden his true skills tightly. This trip was totally worth it.”
“What’s Celestial Star Sect’s Elder Tian Houyang doing here?” an audience member asked his friend, upon seeing the elder strut into the inn.
“Why are you asking me?”
Tian Houyang confronted Gu Yitian to say, “You really are strong. I have been told you’re a swordsman and body cultivator who focuses on honing his swordplay.”
“You two going to fight me together?” Gu Yitian questioned.
“I alone am more than enough,” snapped Tian Jijian.
Tian Houyang held up a hand. “Tian Jijian, I’m taking over.”
“I was put in charge of this!”
“You won’t even be able to force him to draw his sword,” bluntly condemned Tian Houyang.
“Tch!”
“What do you want?” asked Gu Yitian.
“You’re in luck. You’ve been chosen. Come with us,” demanded Tian Houyang.
“Find someone else,” asserted Gu Yitian.
Tian Houyang noticed that none of the furniture in the inn was damaged, proving Gu Yitian and Tian Jijian controlled their output perfectly. However, Tian Jijian damaged the floor, while Gu Yitian’s chopstick did not have a scratch. Tian Houyang waved his arm, blowing the windows and doors shut to create privacy. He sat down at a table and summoned an empty cup over to pour himself a drink. “Not interested in Third Heaven Palace?”
“Don’t trust them.”
“That’s unwise. Third Heaven Palace is everywhere.” Tian Houyang lifted the corner of his lips.
“I don’t trust anyone who frames True God.”
“Are you saying that you trust Sword Shadow Dust Gale?”
Gu Yitian headed to the door, while Tian Jijian fastened his hold on his sword.
“Do you trust Daoist Boyang, then?” queried Tian Houyang, compelling Gu Yitian to cease his advance. “I wasn’t sure before, but I am now confident he is your shifu. Who would ever imagine a Golden Core Realm cripple could raise such an excellent disciple? Now I understand what Master meant by you are an underrated swordplay prodigy.”
“What did you do to my shifu?” Gu Yitian’s aura felt as sharp and violent as a giant sword.
Tian Houyang knocked on the table with a finger, transporting two individuals into the inn – one Ascension Realm cultivator, Tian Yuanwan, an elder of Celestial Star Sect, and a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
“Shifu!” cried Gu Yitian.
“Yitian, run! Take care of yourself,” implored Daoist Boyang, who was kidnapped three days ago under the ruse that Gu Yitian was in trouble.
“Nobody here will hurt you, Shifu.” Gu Yitian wore on his intent to draw blood as a coat.
Tian Houyang smirked with glee. “You’re a rare breed just as your shifu is. He wanted to commit suicide, but I won’t allow it.”
“What do you want?” Gu Yitian fumed.
Tian Houyang explained, “Be honoured. Master has taken a liking to your potential. We need you to take care of someone.”
Gu Yitian slowly and deliberately drew his sword.
