Since she wanted to recruit Jiang Yuzhe, Mu Hanyan naturally wouldn’t let this scene repeat itself.
Mu Hanyan smiled faintly, suddenly reversed her longsword, and then thrust it out.
Although her movement technique wasn’t as ghostly, her manner of swordplay was exactly like Jiang Yuzhe’s to anyone else watching. It was just as bizarre and wonderful.
But in Jiang Yuzhe’s eyes, Mu Hanyan’s thrust was slightly different from his. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI★Fire.net
"Buzz!" Mu Hanyan’s sword, fast as lightning, suddenly stopped, pointing at the vital spot of Jiang Yuzhe’s throat, the blade emitting a buzzing sound.
Jiang Yuzhe stared blankly at Mu Hanyan, as if a bolt of lightning had streaked through his mind.
Even if the difference between Mu Hanyan’s sword strike and his was subtle, it was just this slight, barely noticeable difference that perfectly covered the flaws in his sword technique. If his previous swordsmanship had had this alteration, neither Huayue nor Mu Hanyan would have deciphered his sword technique so easily.
"How... how do you know my sword technique?" Jiang Yuzhe gulped, his gaze, which had dimmed, now regained some liveliness as he asked with difficulty.
"Does that matter?" Mu Hanyan responded, an ambiguous smile on her face. She looked off into the distance, then added meaningfully, "If I’m not mistaken, the sword technique you’ve learned is only a fragment, isn’t it?"
In fact, apart from the cultivation skills passed down through major families and academies, most of what circulated among the common people were merely fragments, even overly simplified. Thus, Mu Hanyan’s supposition was hardly a guess.
However, paired with that ambiguous smile, it took on an unfathomable depth.
For some reason, the visage of Qu Lingshan smiling surfaced in the minds of Mu Nan and Huayue’s group. Then, all of them mentally rolled their eyes simultaneously.
"Are you saying that you have other fragments?" Jiang Yuzhe immediately grasped Mu Hanyan’s implication and became excited.
Mu Hanyan was right; the Shadowless Sword Technique he possessed was indeed a fragment. The movement technique was somewhat complete, but the sword technique aspect was incomplete. Only by finding the Sword Technique Fragment could he possibly master this set of swordsmanship entirely.
Mu Hanyan smiled, her silence profound.
As she had anticipated, Jiang Yuzhe had taken the bait. Fragments? She had no such fragments; the sword strike she had used was solely based on the deep impression Jiang Yuzhe’s Shadowless Sword Technique had left on her in her previous life. Therefore, she later adopted the attitude that one could forge their own capabilities with the help of others, spending considerable time deducing and trying to cover the flaws in the sword technique.
To be honest, her strike just now couldn’t be regarded as perfect, but it was much stronger than the original. However, with Jiang Yuzhe’s current level of cultivation and perceptiveness, he definitely couldn’t detect this.
"God-man!" Besides Qu Shanling’s smile, the words that surfaced in the minds of Mu Nan and Huayue’s group were these.
"Give me the fragment; I’ll agree to any conditions." Jiang Yuzhe said eagerly.
"As long as you adhere to our previous agreement, I naturally won’t wrong you," Mu Hanyan stated.
"I, Jiang Yuzhe of Zhongling City, vow to follow my lord to the death with an undivided heart," Jiang Yuzhe knelt on one knee without hesitation and declared solemnly.
Mu Hanyan hadn’t expected him to be so straightforward; she was actually a bit surprised. Playboy, after all, making excuses wasn’t a big deal. If you can’t even make excuses, can you still be called a playboy?
