Feng Zejian agreed without hesitation.
"it is good."
Feng Zejian was mainly injured in his arms, but his legs were fine.
"Then, let's go together."
The three set off together.
When they arrived at the training ground, many of the people from the Tomb of Resentful Blades were there.
Chapter 356 The Showdown Between Red Scorpion and Suzumiya Yuki
The training ground is outdoors, with a spacious area and surrounding seating for several hundred people, making it quite roomy.
The three of them took their seats in the first row.
Red Scorpion, who had been waiting for a long time, said excitedly:
"Little sister, you've finally arrived! Your brother has been waiting for you for so long."
Suzumiya Yuki got up and walked towards the center of the training ground.
"Brother Red Scorpion, I haven't wielded my sword in a while, please let me have a turn."
Red Scorpion was somewhat displeased.
"Little sister, don't learn from your brother Wolf's humble ways. He always says he's no good, but he always beats me so badly that I can't even find my way back."
"Will not."
White Wolf sat down next to Feng Zejian, looking at the two people in the center of the training ground.
Feng Zejian asked, "How is Xue's talent here?"
"If it's about talent, few people can compare to my little sister, but in terms of strength, she can only be considered average here."
"But that was before we left. Now, my little sister's aura is much more restrained, and her strength must have increased again."
Red Scorpion and Suzumiya Yuki bowed to each other and made a starting gesture.
The two had different starting stances; Suzumiya Yuki held the sword vertically, while Red Scorpion drew his sword.
These two opening moves also reflect the strategies of both sides: Red Scorpion takes the initiative to attack, while Suzumiya Yuki focuses on defense and counterattack.
The rhythm of their breathing began to change.
The person was still in the same spot when a loud bang was heard.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate the next second.
It felt like there was a frame drop, like a scene was suddenly missing.
Feng Zejian didn't see when Hong Xie drew his sword, nor did he see Liang Gongxue catch the sword.
At this moment, Red Scorpion also revealed his true self. Red Scorpion held a knife, his mouth was wide open, his eyebrows were squeezed into an inverted V shape, and his face showed a fierce look.
Suzumiya Yuki struggled to defend herself, her hands and sword trembling slightly.
Suzumiya Yuki could barely hold on any longer. Then, she leaned back, and the knife, close to her body, sliced off a few strands of her hair.
Suzumiya Yuki tumbled over, kicking Red Scorpion's wrist, and used her sword to stab the ground to regain her standing position.
The movements were fluid, and Red Scorpion was forced back a few steps by this counterattack.
"Little sister, you're pretty good. You couldn't withstand this move before."
"We can't hold out any longer, but this gives us another way to deal with it. Brother Red Scorpion, be careful."
Suzumiya Yuki switched from defense to offense.
The starting stance has also changed to a sword-drawing slash, but this is not a single slash, but hundreds of slashes.
Night Rain White Slash was something that Suzumiya Yuki comprehended that night. With the blessing of the night moon itself, she surpassed the limits of humanity in that instant, instantly slicing the dozens of people surrounding her into pieces.
Just like a combo effect in a game, a series of blades grazed across Red Scorpion's body.
In an instant, hundreds of wounds appeared on the red scorpion's body.
Red Scorpion's smile widened, becoming quite manic.
"Little sister, you've given me so many surprises. Since that's the case, I won't go easy on you."
Red Scorpion unleashed its full power, and the oppressive aura of the Demon Blade permeated the field.
An ordinary slash unexpectedly produced a red afterimage.
When Suzumiya Yuki tried to receive the attack, the sword shattered upon contact.
Although Suzumiya Yuki wasn't wielding a demon sword, it was still a blade made of fine steel, and it was exceptionally sturdy.
Suzumiya Yuki took a step back and raised her right hand.
"Night rain, return home."
Night Rain transformed into its true form and flew to Ryougu Yuki's hand.
Suzumiya Yuki drew the Night Moon sword vertically from its sheath, a resolute glint in her eyes.
"Brother, I'm sorry, Xue."
Liang Gongxue flicked the night rain, and a whooshing sound rang out.
Suzumiya Yuki disappeared from the spot, leaving only the sound of clashing objects.
Suzumiya Yuki's attacks were swift and frequent, while Red Scorpion concentrated his power on a single point, a simple strike that was more powerful than a thousand or ten thousand strikes combined.
And this simple strike, with its speed and force, gradually increased and intensified as the battle heated up.
Suzumiya Yuki is ultimately just a young girl, and she can't compete with Red Scorpion in terms of temper. Moreover, Red Scorpion isn't human, while Suzumiya Yuki is still within the human realm.
It was inevitable that Suzumiya Yuki would lose if they fought head-on.
However, although Suzumiya Yuki is young, she is very experienced.
They knew to strike during the vacuum period after the Red Scorpion's attack.
Red Scorpion's fighting style is very open and aggressive, relying purely on strength without much thought. This style has obvious weaknesses, but also obvious strengths.
If Suzumiya Yuki gets hit, she may lose her ability to fight.
So don't be fooled by how easily Suzumiya Yuki can dodge every single Red Scorpion's attack; in reality, she has no choice but to dodge.
Moreover, Red Scorpion's relentless attacks, despite his injuries, overwhelmed Suzumiya Yuki, who primarily relied on defense and counter-attacks.
To be honest, Suzumiya Yuki handled the situation perfectly, but the difference in strength between the two sides was still too great.
Red Scorpion can withstand countless blows from Suzumiya Yuki, but Suzumiya Yuki cannot withstand a single blow from Red Scorpion.
Suzumiya Yuki made a mistake in her defense, and she and Yoru were sent flying.
At this moment, Red Scorpion was already in a frenzy and immediately prepared to press his advantage.
White Wolf was about to make a move, but Sandstorm appeared first and caught Red Scorpion's blade with two fingers.
The sandstorm burst forth with tremendous force, sending wisps of hair flying.
"Red Scorpion, this is just a friendly spar. Do you want to kill my little sister?"
Red Scorpion regained her senses, took a step back, and felt somewhat ashamed.
"I...."
Suzumiya Yuki stood up.
"Sister Wind and Sand, let alone Brother Red Scorpion, he has already restrained himself quite a bit."
The wind and sand were helpless.
"Little sister, why are you still speaking up for him in this situation?"
"If the fight had been fair from the start, and if the conditions had been the same, Red Scorpion would have lost long ago."
As she spoke, she turned to Ryoko Yuki, who lowered her head slightly, letting the wind and sand touch her head.
"Little sister, it seems you have gained a deeper understanding of knives outside. Very good."
"Red Scorpion, go back and reflect on your actions."
Red Scorpion scratched his head.
"understood."
Feng Zejian could also see that Feng Sha was quite powerful and prestigious here.
Feng Zejian leaned closer to the white wolf.
"The wind and sand must have a relatively high status and influence here."
White Wolf nodded.
“That’s right, Fengsha was once a force to be reckoned with, even going head-to-head with my older sister.”
Feng Zejian raised an eyebrow.
There's more to this story than meets the eye.
"The complete form of Wind and Sand is an extremely rare and famous sword. The wielder of Wind and Sand once brought it to subdue Big Sister, but in the end, that person was beaten by Big Sister and had to abandon the sword and run away."
"Or rather, that person used the sandstorm to block the eldest sister's fatal blow. During the escape, looking at the shattered sandstorm, he attributed his failure to her and finally felt that the sandstorm was worthless, so he casually threw it into the bamboo forest."
"My older sister picked me up."
Feng Zejian pondered.
"Is it really impossible to restore it?"
"Repairing famous swords is extremely difficult. Not to mention the materials needed for the repair, there are very few craftsmen who can do it nowadays."
Chapter 357 The Demon Blade and Humanity Face to Face
"Moreover, after that incident, Wind and Sand became disillusioned with humanity and voluntarily followed the elder sister who saved her. She no longer needed her master's sword, so there was no need for repair. However, even now, Wind and Sand is still among the famous swords, and even stronger than before. This may be what others mean by 'no destruction, no construction.'"
Feng Zejian nodded.
"I think I understand now. The main problem is that the wind and sand have disappointed humanity, right?"
The white wolf nodded slightly.
"Yes."
"In fact, we knives that have taken human form are all waiting for someone to come and take control of us. I think even the eldest sister feels the same way."
"It's just a matter of whether or not one is qualified."
Feng Zejian stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Brother White Wolf, what exactly is this 'qualification' you're talking about?"
The white wolf looked up at the sky.
"If it's a Red Scorpion, he might value first impressions and mood, but my considerations are different. I prefer insidious people, the kind who are cunning and scheming."
Feng Zejian couldn't help but laugh, "Sounds like he's not a good person."
"A good person can also be treacherous and cunning. Of course, these are just different adjectives. To put it positively, it means someone who doesn't show their emotions and is resourceful."
Feng Zejian exclaimed, "That makes things much more positive all of a sudden. That's the art of language, isn't it?"
"What's wrong with you? You were fine yesterday, but you're like this today."
Thinking back to yesterday, Feng Zejian's arms started to ache.
"Come closer, I'll whisper something to you."
The white wolf approached.
Feng Zejian recounted what had happened yesterday.
White Wolf's eyes widened.
"Success?"
Feng Zejian shook his head uncertainly.
"I don't know either. I lost consciousness. If I hadn't woken up, I would have thought I was dead."
