C147 It Wasn't Funny at All
However, when An Ran and Old Shopkeeper heard this, not only was it not funny, it was extremely terrifying!
It was definitely a huge reversal just now. Not only had he saved his little life, Master Gu had also made an exception and spared him once, and even accepted him as his disciple.
This was like a death row criminal who was suddenly released when he was about to be executed. Moreover, he was given a high salary, which was directly reflected from the lowest point to the highest point. This kind of opportunity, if it were anyone else, they would have knelt down and shed tears of gratitude.
However, not only did this fellow not cherish this opportunity, he even changed his ways to seek death. Even if he was tired of living, he wouldn't dig a hole for himself like this!
This time, Old Shopkeeper did not speak up to defend Yang Xuan. Instead, he let out a light sigh, his eyes filled with disappointment and sympathy.
He knew that at this point in time, even if he said it out loud, this young man wouldn't be able to leave this place alive today.
An Ran wanted to go forward and help again, but she did not know what to do. If her grandfather was present, there might still be a chance for the situation to turn around. However, if she only called for reinforcements now, when her grandfather rushed over... This fellow's corpse would probably have been completely cold by now.
"Impudent!"
Sure enough, Master Gu's anger that had just subsided instantly rebounded back to its peak. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his two eyeballs looked as if they were about to spurt out flames.
Along with this explosive shout, a wave of killing intent that seemed to have substance hit their faces, causing An Ran and Old Shopkeeper to feel an extremely powerful pressure. It was as if there was a stone pressing down on their chest, causing them to have difficulty breathing.
Clang!
A Longsword flashed with a cold light, accompanied by a strong killing intent. It suddenly left its sheath and stabbed towards Yang Xuan's throat.
This sword was thrust out along with a monstrous fury. It could be said that it was fast and hateful. Its speed was so fast that even a piece of marble would probably be pierced through in a split second.
Swoosh!
The sword stabbed down!
An Ran and Old Shopkeeper had already closed their eyes. They could not bear to watch the scene in front of them.
However, Master Gu's expression suddenly froze!
This sword... had actually missed its target?
What made people puzzled was that they did not see their opponent dodge or block. He just stood there with a relaxed expression. But how could this sword miss?
With Master Gu's sword technique and at such a close distance, not to mention a person's throat, even a mosquito would not be able to deviate from it.
"I say, is this old man still reasonable?"
Before Master Gu could react, Yang Xuan suddenly said, "Why don't you know how to be modest at such a young age? Others say that you want to fight and kill with just a few words. Why? You are the only one who can talk about others, but others can't talk about you?"
When they heard this voice, An Ran and Old Shopkeeper were stunned. Then, they suddenly opened their eyes and were surprised to find that the person in front of them was still alive!
But according to Master Gu's temper, he shouldn't have let him go so easily. What had happened just now?
"I have lived for so long, and I have never suffered such a great humiliation. If I don't kill you today, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Master Gu was extremely furious. He bent his elbow and prepared to strike a second time.
Yang Xuan was speechless and said, "What did I insult you for? Why are you so humiliated? The things you forged were originally scrap metal. Did I say it wrong? And they heard that they made you sound so evil. I thought you were some expert. I didn't expect you to be just a noob."
"How dare you!"
Master Gu's fury soared to the sky. He suppressed the killing intent in his heart and said through gritted teeth, "Fine. Since you are questioning my strength, I will let you die a clear death today. I will open your eyes!"
After saying that, he casually swung his sword at a pot of green plants in the shop. The green plants flew in the air. Master Gu waved his sword and waved it. When the green plants fell again, An Ran and Old Shopkeeper were dumbfounded.
They saw the green plants that had fallen back to their original position. Earlier, the leaves were still lush, but now, only a few branches were left. The leaves on the branches were all gone!2
When they looked up again, they found that the leaves were floating in the air, and all of this happened in the blink of an eye. It was an eye-opener for them!
But that was not the end. Master Gu continued to dance the second round of sword flowers, and a silver light flashed. After about three seconds, Master Gu suddenly shook the Longsword forward, making a buzzing sound.
Hiss -
Seeing the scene in front of them, An Ran and Old Shopkeeper sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time.
The hundreds of leaves in between were like candied fruits that were placed on the Longsword by Master Gu. Following the buzzing sound of the Longsword, they trembled slightly...
Never would they have thought that the scene that they usually saw in wuxia novels and movies would actually be seen in reality with their own eyes!
"You are completely convinced!"
Master Gu's anger had yet to dissipate. His voice was as loud as a huge bell. "Is this my amateur kung fu?"
His respect for the sword had completely merged into Master Gu's blood. What he was proud of in his life was his sword forging skills and sword techniques. Now, both of these things had been insulted at the same time. Before he attacked... ... He had to regain his dignity!
Yang Xuan looked at the leaf on the sword, then at Master Gu. He sighed in his heart. With this level, he could still be considered an expert in ordinary society. But compared to a true sword master, he was not even a novice!
Just now, Yang Xuan guessed that Master Gu might have reached the Seventh Level Sword Concept, but looking at his current level, even if he died, he would only be at the Fifth Level Sword Intent level.
The move he showed just now was still alright in the ordinary society, but in the eyes of a true expert, being able to hold back his laughter was already giving him face.
From picking up the leaves of the green plant to piercing through all the leaves in the air with a sword strike. He had used at least ten seconds just now, at the speed of a tortoise. If he were to fight with him, he wouldn't even need to use a second sword.
"Alright, I don't have time to waste with you today. I'll show you what I'm capable of."
Yang Xuan let out a sigh. Initially, he didn't want to expose himself too much, but looking at the situation, if he didn't scare this arrogant old man today, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave so easily.
When An Ran and Old Shopkeeper heard this, their eyes were filled with doubt. This man wanted to show Master Gu what he got?
He probably forgot to take his medicine when he went out!
Did he not see the tricks Master Gu played just now?
Sigh, he wouldn't die if he didn't seek death. Perhaps it was to describe this brainless fellow in front of him.
Yang Xuan slowly picked up a leaf from the tip of Master Gu's sword, then turned to An Ran and said with a smile, "Please lend me your hand."
"Lend me my hand?"
An Ran asked curiously, "What do you want to do?"
Yang Xuan gently pulled her hand over and let her open her palm. He then laid the leaf flat on it and smiled. "You will know very soon."
As he spoke, he gently hooked his leg and a sword flew up and landed firmly in Yang Xuan's palm.
