(24) (He saved my life for the second time)
With a formidable enemy at hand, Yan Feiyun, Miyamoto Ying, and Sakuragi Niji were both recovering from their injuries and practicing their martial arts, hoping to be in top condition
for the battle on the fifteenth of August.
That evening, Yan Feiyun once again took on the role of chef, cooking several delicious dishes for the two Japanese guests to enjoy.
After the three had eaten their fill, they began to analyze their opponents' martial arts.
Yan Feiyun was the first to share his insights. "Wu Xiaotian was originally a renowned swordsman, his style characterized by speed and ruthlessness.
Actually... it's somewhat similar to Miss Miyamoto's swordsmanship. Miss Miyamoto, you're a seasoned veteran, knowledgeable and experienced,
what do you think?"
Miyamoto Ying blushed. "Brother Yan is teasing me again. I've only ever learned this one style of swordsmanship since I was a student,
I've never studied other schools. So I don't know which style my swordsmanship belongs to, I just know how
to slash at anyone I see..." For many years, she had lived a cold and bloody life in the martial world, her life consisting only
of her mentor, who had been incredibly kind to her, and Sakuragi Niji. It wasn't until the days of amnesia, under Du Yanzhi
's meticulous care, that her long-buried innocence slowly began to sprout again.
"Ying's swordsmanship doesn't seek fancy tricks, only practicality. My martial arts, on the other hand, are the exact opposite, ever-changing, specializing in catching the enemy off guard and achieving victory through surprise." She received assassination and surveillance training from a young age, 　　and
her path was completely different from Miyamoto Ying's. 　　 Yan Feiyun nodded and said, "Miss Miyamoto and Miss Sakuragi each have their own strengths and weaknesses in martial arts." 　　 Sakuragi Hong smiled and said, "The three of us are on the same side now, so don't be too polite. I'll call you 　　Brother Feiyun, and you can call us Sister Hong and Sister Ying!" She has always 　　been very open-minded about relationships between men and women, except for her unwavering devotion to Miyamoto Ying. Although she had a romantic relationship with Yan Feiyun, she didn't take it to heart and 　　was always poised and generous in public. On the contrary, the relatively traditional Yan Feiyun would occasionally feel a little awkward in her presence 　　. 　　 That night, Miyamoto Ying secretly witnessed the two making love. She knew Sakuragi Niji's personality very well and knew that Sakuragi 　　Niji only offered himself to Yan Feiyun to alleviate his pain. She didn't mind that the two were having fun, but 　　during the theft, she inevitably thought of the feeling when she was with Du Yanzhi, which made her feel sad 　　. 　　 Yan Feiyun returned to the main point, "Wu Xiaotian has combined his sword and saber techniques, making his moves unpredictable, but he's also 　　lost the fierceness of his previous saber techniques. If he encounters an opponent with high internal strength, no matter how many variations he uses, 　　as long as he attacks with unstoppable force, all his fancy moves will be useless." 　　 Miyamoto Ying simply smiled, but Sakuragi Hong nodded repeatedly, "Brother Feiyun, you're absolutely right! But 　　there aren't many masters in this world like you who can see through Wu Xiaotian's tricks!" 　　 Yan Feiyun smiled, "Hong-mei, you flatter me. Feiyun has simply traveled the martial world more and sees things more clearly 　　. As for Lu Qicheng, his nickname is Lightning Sword, and he is indeed incredibly fast, but his heart is not pure. A pure heart 　　makes a pure sword; if he continues on his current path, he'll inevitably fall into demonic ways." 　　 Miyamoto Ying said calmly, "I can handle Lu Qicheng. 　　 " Yan Feiyun nodded. "With Lu Qicheng's martial arts skills that day, Yingmei could definitely handle him. But 　　on August 15th, they knew it was a matter of life and death. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. There's also a master of hidden weapons 　　by Lu Qicheng's side. Moreover, they're very likely to recruit more people, so we'll be facing more than 　　just the three of them." 　　 Miyamoto Ying calmly replied, "No matter how many people they recruit, I'll still strike them down with one blow. 　　" 　　 Yan Feiyun smiled and said, "Yingmei previously challenged the top ten martial arts masters, cleaving Lin Baiwei (the 'Golden Spear of Death'), 　　Du Kefei (the 'Invincible Fist'), and Ling Xiaozhi of the Qingcheng Sect into pieces, instantly shocking the Central Plains martial arts world. I heard that Yingmei's trip this time is to 　　pursue the limits of martial arts. Is that true? 　　 " Miyamoto Ying nodded slowly. "I was following my master's orders to seek the pinnacle of martial arts." Sakuragi Niji chimed in 　　, "Ying challenged countless masters in Japan and won every battle, bringing fame and prestige to the Miyamoto school." 　　 Yan Feiyun asked, "The Miyamoto school? Is Ying's master your father?" Miyamoto Ying shook her head. "When I 　　was five, my entire family was tragically wiped out. Fortunately, my master happened to pass by and rescued me. From then on, I followed him to learn martial 　　arts and changed my surname to Miyamoto." 　　 Yan Feiyun sighed. "So Ying's background is so pitiful… Did Ying travel all the way to the Central Plains purely to challenge 　　the Ten Great Masters?" Miyamoto Ying replied, "My master instructed me to challenge any master until someone defeats me 　　. Since the Ten Great Masters are renowned enough, I went to them first. 　　 " Yan Feiyun frowned. "So, after dealing with Wu Xiaotian, Lu Qicheng, and the others, Feiyun will inevitably 　　have to spar with you, Yingmei." 　　 Miyamoto Ying remained as calm as ever. "Brother Feiyun's swordsmanship is superb; I do indeed wish to learn from you 　　." 　　 Upon hearing this, the surrounding temperature seemed to suddenly drop rapidly. 　　 "Brother Feiyun saved my life, but I cannot disobey my master's orders. I must 　　complete my mission and learn martial arts from the masters of the Central Plains." 　　 Yan Feiyun said in a deep voice, "Ying-mei, have you ever considered that your master might have ulterior motives? He instructed you to challenge the martial 　　arts world of Japan, and perhaps the martial arts world of the Central Plains has other plans?" 　　 Miyamoto Ying's tone also turned cold. "My master's kindness to me is immeasurable. I never question him; I only 　　follow his orders." 　　 Yan Feiyun said solemnly, "Forgive my bluntness, but I always feel that your master is using you to weaken 　　the strength of the martial arts world of the Central Plains, and there may be some inside story that you are unaware of." 　　 Miyamoto Ying's face darkened further upon hearing this. 　　 Seeing the tense atmosphere, Sakuragi Niji immediately tried to smooth things over, "Ying, Brother Feiyun, there's plenty of time. Let's 　　deal with those bad guys first, then we can talk about other things, okay? The Central Plains martial arts world is full of hidden talents; besides Brother Feiyun..."

"There are countless talented people outside, who will surely help you, Ying, reach new heights in martial arts."
Miyamoto Ying smiled faintly and said, "At that time, I will definitely ask Brother Feiyun for more guidance. We will only determine the winner, not fight to
the death."
Yan Feiyun reached out and finished his wine in one gulp. "Good! After eliminating the villains, Feiyun and Ying-mei will have a
final showdown."
Miyamoto Ying also finished her wine in one gulp, extended her palm and gave Yan Feiyun a high five. "Good! It's a deal.
"
Yan Feiyun smiled and said, "Before we have another drink, should we first entertain our guests?" Miyamoto Ying
smiled lightly. "Don't you Chinese often say, 'Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?' Since we have distinguished guests, we
should certainly entertain them well."
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Amidst a series of wild laughter, three dark figures
flew out from outside the hall where Yan Feiyun and the other two were dining, landing lightly in front of the hall. The three men had slightly bulging temples, clearly indicating they were all
masters of internal energy cultivation. The one in the middle was a tall, thin man of about thirty-five or thirty-six, with a shrewd and capable appearance and
piercing eyes. To his left was a bald, muscular man, obviously a master of hard martial arts.
The last man was a one-armed man; his right hand was severed at the wrist, but he had attached a hook to the severed wrist. The hook
reflected a blue light in the night, suggesting it was coated with a potent poison.
The tall, thin man chuckled, "Impressive hearing! No wonder you were once the renowned hero Yan Feiyun!"
Yan Feiyun smiled and said, "Yingmei and Hongmei, let me give you a heads-up. This is Qiang Zhisheng, one of the ten greatest martial
arts masters, known as the Divine Whip Who Shakes the Four Seas."
The tall, thin man, Qiang Zhisheng, clasped his hands in a fist salute, "I have long admired Hero Yan's swordsmanship. I originally planned to travel
south to seek his guidance, but unfortunately, Hero Yan retired to the mountains, much to my disappointment. Upon learning of Hero Yan's
return to the martial world, I immediately rushed here to meet him."
Yan Feiyun smiled and said, "Hero Qiang has come from afar; I will not disappoint you. I have only just returned to the mortal realm, and Hero Qiang has already come to meet me. May I ask if Hero Qiang learned of 　　my whereabouts
from my sworn brother, Wu Er ? 　　 " Qiang Zhisheng laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Wu Xiaotian, the Lord of Wu Fortress, and Hero Yan are truly brothers! 　　Of course, Lord Wu needs to inform his friends and family of the good news that Hero Yan is still alive! Hahaha! 　　 " It turns out that Wu Xiaotian wanted to use the martial arts masters who had previously clashed with Yan Feiyun to keep him busy dealing with these people 　　. He was exhausted on the fifteenth of August, so he deliberately leaked the news that Yan Feiyun was still alive to some martial arts masters. 　　Because Wu Xiaotian didn't know that the white-clad girl carrying the long sword was the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Ying, and those martial arts masters 　　also didn't know that besides Yan Feiyun, Miyamoto Ying and Sakuragi Niji were with him. 　　 Sakuragi Niji rolled her eyes at Yan Feiyun. "Brother Feiyun, it seems your sworn brother truly cares deeply for you 　　!" Yan Feiyun shook his head and smiled wryly. "I am truly fortunate to have such a sworn brother." 　　 Qiang Zhisheng chuckled. "Great Hero Yan, let me introduce you to my two sworn brothers!" He pointed to the bald, burly 　　man. "This is my second brother, Wu Ning, known in the martial arts world as the Pagoda-Bearing Vajra." 　　 Yan Feiyun turned to Miyamoto Ying and Sakuragi Niji and said, "Sister Ying and Sister Niji, this man possesses an invulnerable body, trained in martial arts with an iron shirt and golden bell-like shield 　　. It is said he is impervious to swords and spears, and once killed a tiger with a single punch. 　　 " Sakuragi Niji couldn't help but laugh. "Just invulnerability to swords and spears? What about swords? What about axes? Can you use other 　　weapons to get rid of them? Kill a tiger with one punch? Too bad, Brother Yan, you're not a tiger! 　　This bald guy likes hunting tigers so much, why don't you go to the mountains and become a hunter? You should make a name for yourself in a few years 　　!" 　　 Wu Ning, who had been smug when Yan Feiyun introduced him, 　　turned red with anger after hearing Sakuragi Niji's mockery. 　　 Qiang Zhisheng laughed loudly, "Second brother, this girl is quite sharp-tongued. The three of us brothers will first send Master Yan to his 　　death, then we'll all go for her and buy her off to Youhong Garden! Hahaha!" 　　 Yingmu Hong said with a smile, "I'm afraid the three of you are all show and no substance. All three of you going for her together would just be a disgrace 　　!" 　　 Yan Feiyun frowned, thinking that Qiang Zhisheng was supposed to be one of the top ten martial arts masters, yet he was 　　so shameless. It was clear that the martial arts world had already changed. 　　 The one-armed man standing to Qiang Zhisheng's right roared, "We three brothers didn't come here for a verbal 　　dispute! I am Jinbi Tiegou Chunyanzi! Yan Feiyun, come out and face your death!" 　　 Yan Feiyun was a little angry. "I have never met the three of you before. If you, great hero, wish to offer your guidance, I will gladly oblige 　　. But must it be a fight to the death?" 　　 Qiang Zhisheng raised his right hand, and the long whip wrapped around his waist lashed out. "This is only because you, Yan Feiyun , are 　　burdened by your great reputation. After killing you, my Divine Whip Shakes the Four Seas will become a hundred times more valuable!" As he attacked, Wu Ning and Chunyanzi 　　also rushed towards Yan Feiyun. 　　 At this moment, the three of them were still sitting around the dining table. As soon as Yan Feiyun saw the enemy attack, he casually 　　threw the bowls and plates on the table at Qiang Zhisheng and the other two. Miyamoto Ying and Sakuragi Niji easily stood up 　　and moved aside. 　　 Qiang Zhisheng and his two sworn brothers brandished their whips, punches, and hooks, knocking away the bowls and plates that flew towards them, but 　　the juices from the food still soaked them all. Wu Ning and the one-armed Chun Yanzi were furious, but Qiang Zhisheng 　　maintained his usual sarcastic expression. Yan Feiyun, seeing this, knew that Qiang Zhisheng 　　was indeed a formidable character. 　　 Yan Feiyun shouted, "Hero Qiang, this place is a bit cramped. Why don't we go to the open field and let me 　　experience your divine whip?" Before he finished speaking, he had already leaped off like an arrow. Miyamoto Ying and Sakuragi 　　Niji followed closely behind. 　　 This move by Yan Feiyun was exactly what Qiang Zhisheng wanted. The long whip he used was more suitable for long-range attacks 　　than close combat, so he gestured to his two sworn brothers, and they gave chase.

Yan Feiyun and his two companions arrived at a clearing in front of the woods not far from their dining hall, calmly facing Qiang Zhisheng
and his group. Sakuragi Hong, seeing them approaching from afar, exclaimed arrogantly, "Hey! What kind of 'dog whip shaking the pond' nonsense is this? If you're so capable,
then fight Brother Feiyun one-on-one. Is a three-on-one attack heroic? You're not even as good as me, a mere woman!"
Qiang Zhisheng, cunning and treacherous, knew Yan Feiyun's martial arts were extraordinary, and he wasn't confident of victory in a one-on-one fight. His eyes
darted around, and he had a plan. "We three brothers are a trinity! No matter how many opponents we face, we go together!
We've even faced three against a hundred! You three also have three people, so you can fight three against three!" He didn't
know the background of Miyamoto Ying and Sakuragi Hong, and didn't take these two delicate young women seriously. He
waved his hand, and the three brothers surrounded Yan Feiyun and his group.
Miyamoto Ying decisively said, "Fine! It'll be the three of us against the three of you." The three slowly assumed their fighting stances,
back to back, ready to fight.
Yan Feiyun's back was pressed against the jade-like backs of Miyamoto Ying and Sakuragi Niji. Despite the imminent threat of a formidable enemy, he couldn't help
but feel a surge of emotion, involuntarily recalling the night he had spied on the two lovers. He thought to himself that Xia Wenyi's body was barely
cold, and he was already having fantasies about Miyamoto Ying—it was truly inappropriate. But how could he control matters between men and women
? The more he told himself not to think about it, the more Miyamoto Ying's beautiful image intruded into his mind.
Miyamoto Ying, her jade-like back pressed against Yan Feiyun's, felt the presence of a mature man. Remembering how Yan Feiyun had chivalrously
saved her with his sword that day, her heart warmed. She immediately shifted her attention, her jade-like hand gripping the hilt of her sword, preparing
to draw it.
Qiang Zhisheng, convinced that Yan Feiyun was the strongest of the three, shouted and lashed out with his whip, aiming straight for
Yan Feiyun's neck. Wu Ning, having just been mocked by Sakuragi Niji, was filled with resentment towards her. With a roar, he raised
his fist and charged towards her. The one-armed Chunyanzi swung his poisoned hook, aiming a vicious stab straight at Miyamoto Ying's chest,
showing no mercy.
Yan Feiyun let out a long roar and soared into the sky. Qiang Zhisheng, one of the top ten martial arts masters, was no slouch
; his long whip actually followed Yan Feiyun's movements, rising into the air and relentlessly pursuing him. Yan Feiyun
drew his sword in mid-air, using his agility to dodge the whip, then brought his sword down from the sky. Seeing the fierce attack, Qiang Zhisheng
immediately retaliated with his whip, striking Yan Feiyun's back. Yan Feiyun twisted his body in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the whip. This caused
his sword strike to miss, allowing Qiang Zhisheng to evade it. In this exchange, both men realized that the other was indeed as
formidable as his reputation suggested, and they each began to ponder strategies to defeat him.
Wu Ning swung his massive fist towards Sakuragi Niji's head. If that punch had landed, Sakuragi Niji's brains would have
exploded. But as the fist approached, a thick plume of smoke suddenly rose in front of her, and the Japanese witch vanished
into the smoke. Wu Ning, his punch missing its mark, grew even angrier, frantically throwing punches, hoping to land a blow
on Sakuragi Niji, but each punch missed its target.
Junyanzi stopped a foot away from Miyamoto Ei. Unlike Wu Ning, he wasn't reckless. He noticed that
Miyamoto Ei's stance was flawless, and a chill ran down his spine, realizing that this seemingly frail white-clad girl was
a top-tier expert. He dared not act rashly, so he paused to observe his opponent carefully before making a move. Just then,
the smoke emitted by Sakuragi Niji also obscured Miyamoto Ei, and both girls disappeared from sight.
Qiang Zhisheng, the most skilled of the three, worried that Yan Feiyun might also be hiding in the smoke, so he
relentlessly struck with his whip, not giving Yan Feiyun any opening to escape his sight. Yan Feiyun didn't intend to dodge, but instead
used the opportunity to fight back to familiarize himself with his opponent's moves.
Just then, a gust of wind blew away the smoke, and Miyamoto Ying and Sakuragi Niji reappeared
before Wu Ning and Chun Yanzi. However, their positions were different; Miyamoto Ying was closer to Wu Ning, while Sakuragi Niji
was behind Chun Yanzi. As
soon as Wu Ning saw Miyamoto Ying nearby, he roared and threw a heavy punch. Miyamoto Ying thought that this
person was said to be invulnerable to blades and spears, so he decided to test whether it was true and clashed his fist with his sword. When fist and blade collided
, Wu Ning's Iron Shirt and Golden Bell Cover techniques proved to be true; even Miyamoto Ying's sword couldn't cut off his hand
. Although he managed to keep his fist, the internal force from Miyamoto Ying's blade seeped into his arm,
shattering his hand bones.
Wu Ning cried out in pain. Miyamoto Ying seized the opportunity, swinging her blade again. This time, she didn't
slash downwards, but instead plunged it straight into Wu Ning's gaping mouth.
Chun Yanzi, who had originally intended to attack Sakuragi Niji, saw his sworn brother in danger and immediately raised
his hook, aiming straight for Miyamoto Ying's heart. Unfortunately, he was too slow; the moment his hook was thrown, Miyamoto Ying's long
blade was already embedded in Wu Ning's mouth.
Wu Ning never dreamed that his shout would bring him such a deadly fate. Miyamoto Ying's blade pierced
his throat, reaching his internal organs. No matter how good Wu Ning's martial arts were, he couldn't harden his internal organs like iron.
Struck by Miyamoto Ying's blade, this supposedly invulnerable warrior instantly died.
At this moment, Chunyanzi's hook was already upon him, and it was too late to draw his sword. Miyamoto Ying acted decisively, forcefully
slashing her long sword horizontally through Wu Ning's body. Blood immediately gushed before Chunyanzi's eyes; Miyamoto Ying's
blade had cleaved Wu Ning in two from the inside out, the blade emerging from the blood just in time to block Chunyanzi's hook
.
How could Sakuragi Niji let such a golden opportunity slip by? She rushed forward from behind, pulling a short sword from somewhere, and
severed Chunyanzi's hooked arm at the shoulder. Before Chunyanzi could react, he saw his severed
arm, still attached to the hook, fall to the ground, blood splattering everywhere. He was always ruthless, having killed countless people, but now, seeing his
bloodied severed arm, he burst into tears. As he began to cry, the pain from his severed arm spread throughout his body,
making his cries even louder.
With a sharp cry, Sakuragi Nijika yelled, "What are you crying for, you big man? Aren't you annoying?" She casually
slit Junhiko's throat with a knife. Junhiko's crying stopped immediately; after a few feeble screams, she collapsed and died.
Qiang Zhisheng, who was dueling with Yan Feiyun, heard the screams of his two sworn brothers and knew something was wrong.
He immediately used his trump card, using his long whip to wrap around Yan Feiyun's sword. He pulled hard, and as he expected, Yan Feiyun's sword flew out of his hand.
Qiang Zhisheng was overjoyed, thinking he would deal with Yan Feiyun first, and then the two girls. But to his
surprise, Yan Feiyun used his finger as a sword, piercing his wrist with it.
Qiang Zhisheng's wrist went numb, and the whip slipped from his hand. Yan Feiyun, quick as lightning, grabbed his sword hilt again. In the blink of
an eye, while Qiang Zhisheng was still in a state of elation, Yan Feiyun pierced his heart with his sword. Qiang Zhisheng's eyes widened
, unable to believe that he had failed so decisively. He thought he had won, but instead, he died by Yan Feiyun's sword.
In that instant, the duel was over, and the three of them died almost simultaneously.
Just as Yan Feiyun was about to sheath his sword, he suddenly cried out in alarm, "Yingmei, watch out!" He then rushed
behind Miyamoto Ying, deflecting the streaks of cold light.
It turned out that it wasn't just Qiang Zhisheng and his two companions who had come to Poison Dragon Valley tonight; a master of hidden weapons was also lurking
in the woods. Seeing Yan Feiyun and his companions' resounding victory and Miyamoto Ying's slight relaxation, he suddenly attacked, launching
hidden weapons from behind Miyamoto Ying. Although Miyamoto Ying was highly skilled in martial arts, she wasn't as familiar with these treacherous figures as Yan Feiyun and Sakuragi Niji
. If Yan Feiyun hadn't arrived in time, she might have been hit.
Miyamoto Ying turned to look at Yan Feiyun's broad shoulders, a thought flashing through her mind. "Brother Feiyun... he saved my
life again... but I'm under orders from my master to challenge him one day... on that day, what...
what should I do?"
Yan Feiyun hurled a hidden weapon and used his lightness skill to chase after the man. "Despicable villain! Leave your life behind!"
The man, dressed in black, turned and ran into the woods after missing his attack. Yan Feiyun wouldn't let him escape, following closely behind
. The man in black was quite agile, sometimes going east, sometimes west in the woods, and Yan Feiyun
couldn't catch up for a while.
Yan Feiyun snorted coldly and caught up. As the distance between them gradually closed, Yan Feiyun suddenly stopped
, looking in surprise at a corpse under a large tree not far from him
.
