Chapter 519: Yan Thirteen Has Also Arrived
Chapter 519: Yan Thirteen Has Also Arrived
Li Pingzi was a true villain, and he didn't hide his thoughts. The Hainan Sword Sect, known as a prestigious orthodox sect, acted ambiguously and was not constrained by conventional morals.
He had heard Ouyang Yunhe and Li Zhenzhen praise Tie Kaicheng, and he had witnessed Tie Kaicheng's impressive move that killed Mo Feiyan with a single strike. Indeed, it would be the perfect opportunity to use him to attract Xie Xiaofeng.
Moreover, Li Pingzi didn't consider this as exploiting Tie Kaicheng. After all, not just anyone would be qualified to request assistance from the direct disciples of the Seven Great Sword Sects.
Tie Kaicheng glanced at Li Zhenzhen, raising an eyebrow.
Li Zhenzhen scoffed and responded with a disdainful smile.
Seeing that the remaining five, including Ouyang Yunhe, regarded Li Pingzi with caution, one could tell that their act of killing Li Pingzi in the original story was either a well-planned scheme or an unspoken mutual understanding.
However, Li Pingzi soon realized something was amiss. Not only did Tie Kaicheng remain expressionless, but even Ouyang Yunhe and Li Zhenzhen showed no reaction.
Li Pingzi's eyes shifted, and his brows furrowed slightly as he couldn't understand their intentions.
Yes, Xie Xiaofeng's martial arts skills were exceptional. In the past decade or so, he had remained undefeated in the martial arts world. Li Pingzi believed that even in a one-on-one fight, none of them here would be a match for Xie Xiaofeng.
But Xie Xiaofeng was human, not a god. He, too, had his limits. With eight highly skilled martial artists present, if they all joined forces to besiege him, how could he possibly escape unscathed?
Li Zhenzhen sighed. She had no favorable impression of Li Pingzi and had even considered killing him at times to gain control over the more than ten Hainan Sect disciples about to head north from Hainan.
However, with the Seven Great Sword Sects on the verge of forming an alliance, it was inappropriate to create internal strife in front of so many people.
Li Pingzi was shameless, but Li Zhenzhen still needed to maintain her image in the Central Plains martial arts world.
Li Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Brother Li has a proud personality and remarkable swordsmanship. Since entering the Central Plains, you've fought over twenty battles, winning each one. There have been seven or eight renowned swordsmen from Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, and Hubei who have fallen to your sword, none of whom could last beyond thirty moves against you."
Li Pingzi let out a strange laugh. "To be precise, it's twenty-three moves."
"But ever since Xie Xiaofeng made his debut, no one has been able to exchange more than three moves with him," Li Zhenzhen reminded him. "Moreover, the young master of the Xie family is merciless in battle. Within three moves, he decides his opponent's fate."
Li Pingzi's smile stiffened, and his gaze at Xie Xiaofeng turned slightly gloomy.
"You think I can't take three moves from him?"
"No, you can't even take one move from him. You're not even worthy of fighting him!"
The speaker was not Li Zhenzhen, nor was it Tie Kaicheng or Ouyang Yunhe and the other five. Instead, it was a weathered voice that came from the outer perimeter of the surrounding crowd.
However, upon hearing this voice, Li Zhenzhen was immediately astonished. She looked toward the crowd's periphery and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Yan?!?"
Tie Kaicheng also looked in that direction. With his height and sharp eyes, he spotted a figure in black. The man stood tall with a solemn expression, looking two decades younger than before, but he did not have a sword in his hand.
Yan Thirteen had actually emerged from seclusion?
If so, he must have already mastered the deadly Fifteenth Sword!
Xie Xiaofeng turned toward the direction of the voice as well. Then, he saw the crowd automatically part, revealing a man in black standing at the outermost edge.
Although they had never met, Xie Xiaofeng instantly recognized who it was.
In his era of dominance in the martial arts world, there was only one person who was constantly mentioned alongside his name—only one person recognized by the entire martial arts world as capable of challenging him.
Xie Xiaofeng had always thought that this person would come looking for him, but he had never expected to wait in vain.
Li Pingzi also saw Yan Thirteen, narrowed his eyes, and asked in a condensed tone, "Who are you?"
"Yan Thirteen."
"You're Yan Thirteen?" Li Pingzi was somewhat surprised. "Didn't you disappear seven or eight years ago?"
"I disappeared, but I didn't die." Yan Thirteen replied calmly.
Then Li Pingzi remembered Yan Thirteen's previous words, "You said I'm not worthy to fight with Xie Xiaofeng?"
Yan Thirteen nodded, "You're not worthy."
"I'm not worthy, but are you worthy?" Li Pingzi asked.
Yan Thirteen didn't even bother to respond, instead looking at Tie Kaicheng, "Didn't I tell you to bring Xie Xiaofeng to find me?"
Tie Kaicheng stroked his chin, "His state at the time was quite amusing, so I stayed to watch the commotion."
Xie Xiaofeng's face was pale and bitter, while Sun Xingyu bit her lip to stifle a smile.
Yan Thirteen snorted but didn't speak, thinking that Tie Kaicheng was worried about his own fifteenth sword technique and didn't dare bring Xie Xiaofeng to him.
Li Pingzi glared strangely, "I'm talking to you!"
Yan Thirteen looked at Li Pingzi, "But I feel like you're looking for death."
Li Pingzi's right hand reached back, grasping the sword hilt on his back, "You think I'll be afraid of you? You're just an outdated old man!"
Yan Thirteen strolled forward, saying calmly, "I advise you not to make a move, because I'm not used to the Hainan Sect's sword style."
Li Pingzi didn't understand Yan Thirteen's words, but he understood his own sword, so he drew it.
"Ha!"
Xie Xiaofeng was indeed a renowned, unparalleled swordsman, but Li Pingzi didn't think there were many such swordsmen, at least he believed he could fight Yan Thirteen.
He heard that Yan Thirteen's Thirteen Swords of Death was also an unorthodox, aggressive style, similar to the Hainan Sect's sword style, but Yan Thirteen was already middle-aged, and his strength and reaction must have declined. Li Pingzi was confident in himself.
If he could kill Yan Thirteen, he would immediately become famous in the Central Plains, and the position of the Seven Sects' Alliance Leader would naturally be his for the taking.
No one stopped Li Pingzi from drawing his sword, not Xie Xiaofeng, not Tie Kaicheng, not even Li Zhenzhen and Ouyang Yunhe, and the others.
So Li Pingzi's sword smoothly pierced towards Yan Thirteen's chest, then suddenly turned and stabbed upwards from the left, aiming at Yan Thirteen's left rib.
Strange, sinister, and impossible to defend against!
But in the instant Li Pingzi changed his move, he felt his hand empty, and the sword that was just in his control suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, he felt a pain in his throat and discovered that a fine sword had pierced his throat, and this fine sword looked extremely familiar.
This was his own sword, and now his sword was in Yan Thirteen's hand.
Although Yan Thirteen didn't use the Stealing Heaven and Earth sword technique, it was equally concise and effective, at least Li Pingzi couldn't react in time.
Everyone's gaze towards Yan Thirteen was filled with shock, but Yan Thirteen only looked at one person.
"Xie Xiaofeng."
"Yan Thirteen."
"You don't want to take back all the women you've slept with to the Divine Sword Mountain Villa, and you don't want to watch this person being taken to Wudang, right?" Yan Thirteen asked.
"That's right." Xie Xiaofeng nodded.
"Then you only have one last option left." Yan Thirteen said.
"What option?"
"Fight me with swords."
