Page twenty-seventh [Swords in the wind join in!]
The cold moon hangs high.
The December sea breeze blew unbridled on the empty streets.
It's cold late at night in Bilgewater.
"Is there somewhere to go?" Chen Senran did not take off the blindfold. He suddenly thought it would be a good idea to hide his empty eyes.
That way others won't see your own weakness, won't pity you, and won't look down upon you.
Human beings are such animals, always accustomed to hiding their true selves.
"No...no." Fitz, the little fish-man walking beside Chen Senran, shrank his thin shoulders and looked around coldly.
There was no one around, all the shops were closed, and there was a deep... loneliness on the long coastal street where the only sound was the wind.
"Come on, there's a heater on the boat. Do you still know the way?" Chen Senran smiled and patted the little fish man's round head.
"Really...really?" The little fishman Fitz was stunned for a moment, then jumped up excitedly, "Oh, that's great. There is a heater. You don't know how uncomfortable it is to sleep outside in the wind all night."
"Well..." Chen Senran's footsteps suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?" the little fish-man asked strangely. As it asked, it subconsciously looked around.
There was nothing but darkness and strong winds.
"Nothing..." Chen Senran smiled and shook his head, "Let's play a game. Let's race to see who can reach the Abyss first. If you win, I'll treat you to a big dinner tomorrow, okay?"
"Let's have a big meal..." The little fish man was obviously a little excited, "But..."
It wanted to speak but stopped.
"It's okay, you've seen it too, I can see much more clearly than most people with eyes." Chen Senran knew what it was worried about, smiled and waved his hand, "Okay. Get ready..."
"start."
"Brush—" Almost as soon as the first two words were spoken, Chen Senran's whole body rushed into the wind.
His speed is extremely fast, and his blindness does not affect any of his movements. In his spiritual world, the dark and windy streets are as bright as a smooth road that can be followed no matter what.
"Wow--" The little fishman was just stunned for a moment and immediately followed him.
It thrust the trident in its hand into the ground one after another, and quickly shuttled forward as if swimming.
"It's like swimming~" the little fish man shouted happily, nimbly relying on the trident in his hand to shuttle through the oncoming wind.
It's like those winds are really waves.
"Ho ho - do you want to see a trick?" The little fish man quickly caught up with Chen Senran, "I'll be in front of you in one jump~"
"Plop -" It really jumped forward from its trident with a movement like diving, surpassing Chen Senran.
Chen Senran stopped.
"Haha, you can't outrun me?" The little fish man danced happily on the spot, "The feast is mine, lululu~"
"Friend, come out, you have been following me for so long. Are you tired?" Chen Senran ignored it. He said something that sounded incomprehensible to the howling wind and darkness.
"Friend? Where are you?" The little fish man looked around in confusion, but he still couldn't see anyone.
"Hey~" the little fish man smiled mischievously, "Aren't you trying to cheat?"
The strong wind was still howling.
"You are truly worthy of being the heir to the Wuji Way. In such a strong wind, your sense of smell is still so sharp." A man's deep voice suddenly sounded in the strong wind.
"Who?" The little fish man turned over and took the trident in his hand, showing a warning look.
"Who is your Excellency?" Chen Senran slowly turned in one direction, where he could feel a surge of energy.
A powerful, but erratic energy like the surrounding wind.
It's like if you don't pay attention, he will disappear from your front.
Chen Senran sensed this energy from the beginning, but he was not sure whether the other party was coming towards him, so he gave it a try.
"As far as I know, the inheritance of Wuji Dao. Yi has not been handed over to anyone. Where did you get it from?" The low-pitched man in the wind didn't answer the question, thinking about his own words.
"The Way of Wuji?" Chen Senran chewed on the term that the other party mentioned twice. It sounded like some ancient martial arts inheritance, but...
"I haven't heard of it."
"Do you deny it? It's useless. Just now you have completely released your Dao Qi in the tavern. I remember this smell. You can't escape it. Ten years ago, Yi and I missed our destiny because of that incident.
The decisive battle, you will take over today
Your mentor went out to fight, and I hope your performance is enough to comfort your mentor’s spirit in heaven, if you are really his disciple.” The strange man was still talking to himself, completely inexplicable words, and as he spoke, he seemed to be ready.
Take action.
"Wait a minute..." Chen Senran was confused when he heard this, but one thing he was sure of was that he seemed to have been mistaken for someone's disciple because of his behavior just now. This...
Could it be that my ability to perceive the world is really...
"Clang--" The crisp sound of a long sword being unsheathed sounded in the wind.
The sound of the wind unknowingly became louder.
"I miss you..." Chen Senran couldn't be sure whether he really knew the Way of Wuji.
The first thing he has to do now is to stop the opponent. He doesn't want to die in a strange duel without any reason.
"Are you still escaping? How can a true warrior escape a glorious duel?" The warrior in the wind did not give Chen Senran a chance to explain, "Draw the sword, or do you no longer have the courage to even draw the sword?"
"
"I..." Chen Senran still wanted to say something.
But the wind was in vain so strong that it was unimaginable, as if the whole world turned into a violent wind the moment the man drew his sword out of its sheath.
Even if he only drew his sword half an inch.
"Before the duel, it's time to get to know each other." The man's deeper and louder voice sounded in the infinite wind, "I... Yasuo, the abandoned disciple of the Wind Swordsmanship, please join me."
The moment he said the last two words, the whole world suddenly stopped.
All the wind seemed to disappear at once.
But Chen Senran felt unprecedented terror.
He felt like his whole body was being restrained by unknown pressure.
It's like being in a jungle with thousands of swords.
As long as he moves, no, as long as he breathes, his body will be completely torn into pieces.
This feeling...
"Huh..." Chen Senran breathed extremely cautiously, his spiritual world expanding crazily at this moment.
but……
No flaws.
What to do? (To be continued...)
