Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

Chapter 610: Chapter 167: To Uproot the Grass, Remove the Roots! You Talk Too Much

A martial artist renowned in the Jianghu usually doesn’t lack strength.

Not to mention, the Clear Wind Swordsman is an Innate Realm martial artist.

He is even expected to break through to the Grandmaster Realm within a few decades.

As the sword light flickered, it felt like a gentle breeze swept through the surroundings, and everyone seemed to sense an inexplicable breeze stirring around them.

In the next moment.

The ethereal figure of the Clear Wind Swordsman rapidly dashed towards Ye Liuyun’s position.

"Is this the Clear Wind Swordsmanship? It does have some subtleties."

"I heard that the Clear Wind Swordsman once slew several martial artists of the same realm with this very swordsmanship alone."

"That kid is going to be unlucky!"

"No matter how talented a person is, before they mature, it’s all just empty talk."

"..."

Seeing this probing swordsmanship of the Clear Wind Swordsman, many spectators couldn’t help but sigh.

Among those present, there were hardly a few whose cultivation could be said to be steadily above that of the Clear Wind Swordsman. Unanimously, they cast looks of pity towards Ye Liuyun.

It seemed as if it was already predetermined.

That Ye Liuyun, under such swordsmanship, stood no chance of resisting.

It’s just that Ye Liuyun’s youthful appearance is truly deceptive. Talented youths do exist, but those who mature in the Jianghu are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Such a pity.

Yet none among them had any intention of stepping forward to help break the siege.

This is the Jianghu.

More often than not, people just enjoy the spectacle, taking up arms when seeing injustice? It’s just something out of novels, meant to incite the young to rashly venture into the martial world.

How many of those who roam the Jianghu successfully while still holding on to the innocence they had when first entering?

...

"Is this the Clear Wind Swordsmanship? Truly impressive?"

Yet, as for Ye Liuyun, he never took any action from start to finish, even when the long sword came directly at him.

Not only did he not try to dodge, nor did he intend to channel his skills to block, instead, he nodded approvingly, starting to comment on it.

Speaking of anything else.

In the Innate Realm tier, this Clear Wind Swordsmanship is indeed a decent martial art.

"Reckless!"

Yet this reaction made the Clear Wind Swordsman somewhat displeased.

If Ye Liuyun were now to kneel and beg for mercy, or simply flee, perhaps considering they’re on the Xie family’s territory, he might not strike too harshly, sparing the other’s life wouldn’t hurt.

But instead of being afraid, he chose to comment on his skills.

Isn’t this a bit disrespectful?

Does he, the dignified Clear Wind Swordsman, need the praise of a junior?

Since he’s seeking death, there’s nothing to hold back on.

With such thoughts in mind.

The long sword in the Clear Wind Swordsman’s hand grew even more fierce by three degrees, intending to take Ye Liuyun’s life with a single stroke!

Battles in the Jianghu often focus on killing in one strike.

In certain situations, the fight might last longer just to showcase one’s skills, but more often, battles end swiftly.

"Die!"

As he spoke, the Clear Wind Swordsman was already in front of Ye Liuyun.

The long sword in his hand thrust straight at Ye Liuyun’s face.

The breeze it carried became much sharper, and the invisible wind blades carved numerous cracks into the floor.

This scene.

Made Xie Zheng, watching from a distance, smile even more.

Indeed, this young brat doesn’t even know to dodge in such a situation.

He wanted to see, after slaying this kid, would Xie Ling’Er dare speak to him in such a tone.

Only it’s a pity.

The smile on Xie Zheng’s face did not last long.

In his mind, he had imagined getting some control over a bustling building from Xie Ling’Er’s hands, but the current scene shattered that fantasy.

"This... how is it possible!"

His eyes widened to the size of saucers, seemingly unable to believe everything unfolding before them.

...

"The skill is there, but the strength is lacking!"

Just as the long sword was about to pierce Ye Liuyun, he raised his hand at some unknown moment, securely clamping the Clear Wind Swordsman’s sword with two fingers.

This Clear Wind Swordsmanship indeed is ethereal, with high skill, making it hard to defend against.

Unfortunately, it seems to lack in strength.

In the same realm, when encountering a martial artist skilled in Horizontal Training, it’s nothing more than a sword technique that merely scratches the surface.

"How is this possible!"

Xie Zheng wasn’t the only one struck with disbelief.

The Clear Wind Swordsman himself looked at Ye Liuyun in front of him with a face full of shock.

Since he aimed for a one-hit kill, the Clear Wind Swordsman had exerted all his strength, yet even so, it was effortlessly blocked by Ye Liuyun.

The Clear Wind Swordsman even tried to retrieve his sword.

But it seemed as if the sword had become one with Ye Liuyun, utterly immovable.

This scene.

Even made the spectators nearby turn serious.

Their earlier stance of just watching a show vanished without a trace.

"How is this possible!"

"A Horizontal Martial Artist?"

"Impossible, even for a Horizontal Martial Artist, it shouldn’t be blocked so effortlessly!"

"Hiss!"

"..."

Due to his youthful appearance, these people never thought from the beginning that Ye Liuyun could defeat the Clear Wind Swordsman, each appeared so casual, but the present situation was beyond their imagination.
