Chapter 389: Chapter 266: Family Master Han Zheng, The Abandoned Child of the Han Family

"That’s the garrison commander in charge of transporting grain to Feng City, he is at the Refining Essence Realm!"

"He has burst into the courtyard!"

"This garrison commander, what a powerful blade!"

"Can I block this strike?"

Every spectator had such thoughts rise in their hearts.

Then they saw the figure of that garrison commander get sent flying out, crashing beside Zhou Yun, causing a section of the courtyard wall to collapse.

From the moment the other party drew his sword and charged into the courtyard, till now, no more than three breaths had passed!

"..."

Zhou Yun’s expression changed unpredictably as he turned his head to look at the garrison commander from Feng City Sky Observation Bureau beside him, who was far more powerful than himself.

He had heard of Wu Chang’s reputation and knew the other was extremely powerful.

But Wu Chang was still so young!

From the perspective of their positions, the roles of Inspection Envoy or General Flag Envoy were actually below that of a garrison commander.

Yet he never expected that Wu Chang, merely in his twenties, would completely overshadow a garrison commander!

His face kept changing as he heard a voice coming from the courtyard.

"Give it your all, use your strongest abilities, your proudest techniques, and break into the courtyard."

"If you can get close to me, I won’t mind giving you some pointers on your sword skill."

"..."

Zhou Yun gritted his teeth slightly, lifted his blade, and cut through the air, charging into the courtyard.

He couldn’t see the scene before him, only feeling an invisible pressure coming from all directions, as if it was omnipresent.

He swung his blade towards the direction where the pressure was strongest.

He mobilized his Qi-Blood and exerted all his strength.

Though this strike clearly cut through empty space, it seemed as if it hit solid gold or iron.

"Too slow, too weak, too dull in judgement," Wu Chang’s voice sounded quite flat as he said, "The movement of Qi-Blood through your organs is too rigid, not flexible enough, you can’t adapt to the situation and react accordingly!"

Zhou Yun’s gaze grew more solemn as he once again moved forward, his right hand gripping the steel blade tightly, slashing out into the void.

But before the edge of the blade reached its target, his left shoulder suddenly throbbed with pain, and he stepped back.

"Poor habits, you swing the blade with your right hand, why gather strength with your left?"

Wu Chang said indifferently, "This sword skill is indeed not bad, but it’s a pity it does not suit you."

"Master, I still have one more strike!"

Zhou Yun, drenched in sweat, gasped as he spoke.

"Go ahead and display it."

That’s how Wu Chang put it.

Then they saw Zhou Yun take seven steps, the blade’s edge surging suddenly.

Power rose from the ground, his legs powerfully sprang up, Qi-Blood churned, flowing up from his waist and spine to his hands.

This strike seemed to cut through the fog before his eyes.

He fell to the ground, feeling drained and covered in sweat.

"Indeed a genius," said Wu Chang’s voice, with a hint of approval.

Zhou Yun struggled to raise his head only to realize he was still a zhang away from the young man before him.

The other party hadn’t even made a move, only oppressing him with his aura.

All out, he had merely managed to come within a zhang’s range.

Using all his skills, he had barely managed to gaze upon the other’s silhouette.

"Genius..."

Zhou Yun bitterly smiled, "So it turns out that a so-called genius is just about managing to cross the threshold and earn the right to see the Master."

His natural talent and physical constitution were highly praised even by the Great Guardian.

And he had told himself that since he started practicing martial arts, he had studied diligently day and night without a moment’s negligence.

He had thought that his skills, while might be inferior to those young prodigies, wouldn’t be that far off.

But he hadn’t expected the difference to be heaven and earth!

He had almost not even qualified to meet the opposition!

"Looking at you, you must be under forty this year?" Lin Yan suddenly spoke up, saying this.

"I..." Zhou Yun, with his dark complexion and robust figure, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Twenty-eight."

"..." Lin Yan fell silent for a moment, then said, "At such an age, to have taken three steps into the Inner Strength Realm, in High Willow City, you would be considered a prodigy!"

"Your talent is good, there’s a good chance for you to reach the Refining Essence Realm in the future."

"For the Human Clan, every strong Martial Artist is a pillar of society."

"Since you’ve seen me, leave your sword skill behind and come to claim it tomorrow."

Lin Yan said with a flat expression, "I will make slight modifications to the finer details according to your sword wielding habits, to make it more suitable for you."

——

Not far away, the group from Qifeng Prefecture.

Vice Guardian Han drew his sword from its sheath, setting off towards the front.

"What exactly are you planning to do now, Elder?" the young general hastily stopped him.

"The rumors are wrong, it seems Master is not one who delights in killing, and he’s willing to give guidance," Deputy Guardian Han’s eyes were bright, shining with eagerness as he said, "If that’s the case, not to have a match with him would be a regret in life."

"That Zhou Yun is the Great Guardian’s favorite disciple." The young general quickly added, "A large Pure Land isn’t suitable for bloodshed, and that Great Guardian, within the Pure Land, his strength is beyond the peak of the Qi Refining Realm... This Master, he’s willing to give face to the Great Guardian, but he might not give face to you!"

"This..."

Vice Guardian Han hesitated.

But then he saw that garrison commander responsible for Feng City’s grain supply once again draw his blade and charge into the courtyard.

After three breaths.

The garrison commander was once more sent flying out, crashing into the ground amidst the bricks and stones, struggling for breath.

"Your old injury is affected, even with the vitality of the Refining Essence Realm, it’s hard to recover," Wu Chang’s voice came from inside, saying, "Go back and complement your practice with a Magic Method that’s extremely yang and strong, it can suppress your old injury!"

Garrison Commander Wu Yuan quickly stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Master, for the advice!"

Next, they saw another figure.

An old man in his sixties, took large strides forward.

"I am Yan Li, the chief of the guard for Jiuxu Trading Company under Coastal City’s command!"

"I have practiced the Three Yin Mysterious Evil Blade for more than fifty years, and I believe I have achieved great success. Please, Master, give me some guidance!"
