Chapter 705: Whisper Wind Fourteen
Chapter 705: Whisper Wind Fourteen
Whisper Wind Fourteen?
Hearing Jin Banhua's excuse, Hua Zhenzhen's face turned slightly angry.
"Jin Banhua, for you to have cultivated your martial arts to this level, you must not be an ordinary rich playboy. Why are you deliberately acting foolish in front of me?" Hua Zhenzhen said angrily.
"Don't you believe me?" Jin Banhua asked with a smile.
"Do you think I'm the same as those sycophants and lackeys you meet during the day?" Hua Zhenzhen retorted.
"In other words, you only know the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements, but not the fourteenth?" Jin Banhua asked again.
Hua Zhenzhen impatiently said, "What are you trying to say?"
Jin Banhua spoke with utmost seriousness, "I'm saying that I know the Whisper Wind Fourteen, but you only know the first thirteen movements. Could it be that you stole martial arts from me but didn't learn it completely?"
Hua Zhenzhen's face turned red with anger, "You're just..."
She had only said three words when she saw Jin Banhua leisurely thrusting her sword forward.
This sword move was as light as the wind, ethereal and traceless, blending into the wind. It seemed to surpass the realm of the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements, appearing and disappearing in her eyes, almost invisible.
But when she saw this sword move, the tip of the sword had already reached her shoulder.
It was like the wind; when you feel the wind, it has already brushed against your body.
Hua Zhenzhen's pupils narrowed in shock.
This sword move clearly carried the intent of the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements, but it had already exceeded the realm of the Sword as Whisper Wind, almost as if the sword was hidden, leaving only the whisper wind.
There was no killing intent, no sharpness, no sound, and no sensation.
It was like the whisper wind...
Unless it blows onto your body, allowing you to feel that cool breeze, who could sense the wind? But when the whisper wind brushed against her, the sword revealed itself. By the time she reacted, it was already too late.
Hua Zhenzhen's face turned deathly pale, and she quickly retreated.
She backed away for a full two zhang, her breath ragged from the shock. Only then did she realize that the tip of Jin Banhua's sword was still in its original position, and she hadn't followed through with the thrust.
Even if she hadn't moved, that sword move wouldn't have struck her.
Hua Zhenzhen stared blankly at Jin Banhua, her mind momentarily blank, and incredulously said, "You... what... what is this...?"
"This is Whisper Wind Fourteen, and it is actually a continuation of the previous thirteen movements." Jin Banhua smiled and raised her eyebrows at Hua Zhenzhen, "Do you admit it or not?"
Recalling the previous sword move, Hua Zhenzhen could only admit, "Yes!"
"Do you know it?" Jin Banhua asked again.
Hua Zhenzhen was a smart girl, and she already understood Jin Banhua's intention, but she could only grit her teeth and answer, "No!"
"I know Whisper Wind Fourteen, and the last movement is the most powerful. You know the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements, but you haven't learned the final movement." Jin Banhua smiled happily, "Who, then, is the true master of sword technique?"
Hua Zhenzhen glared at the smug Jin Banhua, wishing she could poke ten holes in his face.
At the same time, Hua Zhenzhen genuinely admired Jin Banhua, and her admiration was immense.
She looked at Jin Banhua with sparkling eyes, her heart instinctively disbelieving, but the facts before her eyes forced her to accept it, "Did you come up with this sword technique yourself?"
For hundreds of years, the Seven Major Sword Sects of the martial world were renowned, and the Three Famous Sword Techniques of the Mystic Sect were well-known. However, when it came to sword techniques alone, no sect dared to challenge the Huashan Sect, because the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements of the Huashan Sect were indeed unparalleled, beyond the reach of mortals.
As long as one could cultivate three-tenths of its essence, they would be able to dominate the martial world for a time.
Even with the Clear Wind Thirteen Stances, the person before her had managed to take it a step further, creating the Sword as Whisper Wind technique, surpassing the achievements of past generations of Huashan experts and the Huashan Zushi.
Hua Zhenzhen wasn't one to blindly worship the past; she believed that the present could surpass the past. The Jellyfish Yin Ji had long ago surpassed countless ancient heroes with her self-created divine techniques.
However, modifying the classic martial arts of the past was another matter. Hua Zhenzhen firmly believed that even the Jellyfish Yin Ji would never be able to deduce the Whisper Wind Fourteen. The requirements for one's sword path and understanding of the Clear Wind Thirteen Stances were simply too absurdly high.
This wasn't something that could be achieved with just a little more talent than the Huashan Zushi; it required a significantly higher level of skill!
More importantly...
Hua Zhenzhen stared at Jin Banhua, who wasn't even a Huashan disciple!
A sense of defeat welled up within her. Including herself, generations of Huashan experts had been surpassed by someone who wasn't even a Huashan disciple, and on the surface, a profligate aristocrat from the capital.
Then, she saw Jin Banhua sheathing her sword, a smug expression on her face. "Don't talk nonsense. I'll ask you, based solely on the Clear Wind Sword Technique, who is the true master of the sword technique?"
Hua Zhenzhen clenched her teeth, anger rising in her chest.
"How dare you imply that the Clear Wind Thirteen Stances, a secret passed down for hundreds of years in Huashan, were stolen from you?" Hua Zhenzhen was almost at her wit's end.
Jin Banhua stroked her chin, clicking her tongue. "Now that you mention it, I might have gone a bit too far."
"It's not just a little too far, it's a complete mockery of the world!" Hua Zhenzhen retorted angrily.
Jin Banhua nodded and asked leisurely, "Then, do you want to bring this fourteenth stance back to Huashan?"
Hua Zhenzhen immediately fell silent.
Jin Banhua stretched lazily, turned around, and walked towards the bedroom, sheathing her sword and changing clothes as she went.
Hua Zhenzhen averted her gaze.
"Since you've become my Jin family's maid, you must fulfill your duties as a maid," Jin Banhua said with a smile. "Remember to come and serve me during my morning ritual tomorrow. Oh, and!"
Jin Banhua turned and pointed at Hua Zhenzhen. "Watch your tone, and learn from those sycophants and lackeys I meet during the day."
Hua Zhenzhen: ヽ(‘⌒メ)ノ
Hua Zhenzhen wanted to flip the table and leave, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Not to mention Jin Banhua bringing it up, but from the moment she witnessed the Whisper Wind Fourteen, she had been filled with envy and couldn't wait to learn it...
Then, she would stab Jin Banhua a dozen times!
Hua Zhenzhen turned around and saw Jin Banhua in her sleepwear, casually getting into bed, and waving at her.
"Close the door and go rest. Girls need their beauty sleep; otherwise, you'll get dark circles and your skin will become dull and rough. I don't want my little maid to become unattractive, not even compared to Chu Liuxiang's three beautiful handmaids."
Hua Zhenzhen stomped in anger, her face turning slightly red.
She took a deep breath and went to Jin Banhua's door, closing it while taunting her, "Weren't you going to get back at Chu Liuxiang by taking his three handmaids for stealing the White Jade Beauty? Why didn't you bring them back?"
Jin Banhua winked at Hua Zhenzhen. "I was afraid you'd get jealous."
Hua Zhenzhen glared at Jin Banhua and slammed the door shut with a 'bang', then leaped away.
