Hero Son-in-law

However, to An Ran and Old Shopkeeper, these words weren't funny at all. It was terrifying!    

    

Just now, it was definitely a huge reversal. Not only did he keep his life, Master Gu made an exception and let him go, saying that he was willing to take him in as a disciple.    

    

This was like a condemned prisoner suddenly being acquitted and then rebounding from the lowest point to the peak when he was about to be executed. If this was an opportunity, anyone would have to kneel down and feel grateful.    

    

But this fellow, not only did he not cherish such an opportunity, he even went as far as trying to kill himself. Even if he was tired of living, he shouldn't have dug such a hole for him!    

    

This time, Old Shopkeeper did not speak up to defend Yang Jiekai. Instead, he let out a soft sigh, his eyes full of sadness and sympathy.    

    

He knew that now that things had come to this point, even if he were to talk about breaking the heavens, this young man shouldn't even think about leaving this place alive.    

    

An Ran wanted to help again, but she didn't know what to do. If her grandfather was here, things might have changed. But if she only called for reinforcements now, by the time her grandfather rushed over, this guy's corpse would probably be completely cold.    

    

"How dare you!"    

    

As expected, Master Gu's anger that had just been quelled instantly rebounded to its peak. The veins on his forehead swelled up and his eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire.    

    

With this shout, a killing intent that felt like it came straight at them, causing An Ran and Old Shopkeeper to feel a strong sense of oppression. It was as if a rock was pressing down on their chest, making it hard for them to even breathe.    

    

Clang!    

    

A long sword flashed with a cold light. Along with a strong killing intent, it suddenly came out of its scabbard and pierced towards Yang Jiekai's throat.    

    

This strike was stabbed by the monstrous fury. It could be said to be fast and hateful, and as fast as lightning, even if it was a block of marble, it would still be pierced through.    

    

"Woosh ~ ~ ~"    

    

The sword stabbed down!    

    

An Ran and Old Shopkeeper had already closed their eyes and could not bear to watch the scene in front of them.    

    

However, Master Gu's expression suddenly froze!    

    

This strike … It actually pierced through empty space?    

    

The most puzzling thing was that he didn't see his opponent dodge or block at all. Instead, he just stood there with a relaxed expression. But, how could that strike miss nothing?    

    

With Master Gu's swordsmanship and his close proximity, even a mosquito would not be able to cause the slightest deviation, let alone a human's throat.    

    

"I say, old man, are you still being reasonable?"    

    

Without waiting for Master Gu to react, Yang Jiekai suddenly opened his mouth and said, "How come you don't know how to be modest at such an age? Other people say that you are going to fight to the death with just a few words. What, if you can talk to others, can't others talk to you? "    

    

Upon hearing this voice, An Ran and Old Shopkeeper were both stunned for a moment before opening their eyes abruptly. They were surprised to find that the person in front of them was still alive!    

    

However, based on Master Gu's temper, he shouldn't have let him go so easily. What happened just now?    

    

"I've lived for so many years, but I've never suffered such humiliation before. If I don't kill you today, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"    

    

Master Gu was extremely angry. He bent his elbow and was ready to stab the second time.    

    

Yang Jiekai said in a speechless manner, "What did I insult you for? How can you be so ashamed? The object you forged is made of scrap metal. Did I say anything wrong? And when they heard how evil you are being told, I thought you were some kind of expert, I didn't expect you to be so weak. "    

    

"How dare you!"    

    

Master Gu was extremely angry. He endured the killing intent in his heart and said while clenching his teeth, "Fine, since you doubt my strength, today I will let you understand so that you can broaden your horizons!"    

    

After saying that, he swung his sword towards a plant in the store. As that plant flew into the air, Master Gu sent out a wave of sword dance. When that plant fell down again, An Ran and Old Shopkeeper were dumbfounded.    

    

He saw the green plant that had fallen back to its original position. The leaves were previously lush, but now only a few branches were left, and the upper leaves had all disappeared!    

    

When he looked up again, he found that the leaves were floating in the air. All of this had happened in just a split-second, it was truly an eye-opener!    

    

However, this wasn't the end. Master Gu continued on with his second round of sword dance. A silver light flashed by and after about three seconds, Master Gu suddenly shook his sword forward, making a buzzing sound.    

    

"Hiss ~ ~ ~"    

    

Seeing the scene in front of them, An Ran and Old Shopkeeper both sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time.    

    

Master Gu pierced through the hundreds of leaves like candy, causing the sword to hum as it vibrated …    

    

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the scenes he saw in his novels and movies about kung fu could be seen with his own eyes!    

    

"Are you convinced!?"    

    

Master Gu's anger still hadn't faded. His voice was loud like a bell, "Is this my second level of kung fu?"    

    

Master Gu's respect for the sword had been completely infused into his blood. He was proud of his swordsmithing and swordsmanship. Now that these two things had been insulted simultaneously, he had to get back his dignity before he made a move!    

    

Yang Jiekai looked at the blade on the sword, then looked at Master Gu and sighed in his heart. This level of skill could be considered an expert in the ordinary society, but compared to a real sword master, it couldn't even compare!    

    

Yang Jiekai had speculated that Master Gu might have reached the seventh level of the Sword Concept. However, looking at his current level, he could only be at the fifth level of Sword Intent.    

    

The move he had displayed just now was fine in the eyes of an ordinary person, but in the eyes of a true expert, it was enough to give him some face if he was able to hold back his laughter.    

    

Shi Feng had used more than ten seconds to pick out all the leaves from Emmie. With his tortoise-like speed, he wouldn't even need to use the 2nd strike if he were to fight himself.    

    

"Alright, I don't have the time to waste on you today. Let me show you something."    

    

Yang Jiekai sighed. Originally, he didn't want to expose himself too much, but looking at the situation, if he didn't intimidate this arrogant old man today, then he really couldn't easily leave.    

    

When An Ran and Old Shopkeeper heard this, their eyes were filled with doubt. Was this guy planning to give Master Gu a hand?    

    

He probably forgot to take the medicine when he went out!    

    

Did he not see what Master Gu did?    

    

Sigh, he wouldn't die if he didn't court death. He might just be describing the inexperienced fellow before him.    

    

Yang Jiekai slowly plucked a leaf from the tip of Master Gu's sword. Then, he turned around and smiled to An Ran, "Can I trouble you to lend me your hand?"    

    

"My hand?"    

    

An Ran asked doubtfully, "What are you planning to do?"    

    

Yang Jiekai gently pulled the other person's hand over and had him open his palm. Then he laid the leaf flat on the ground and smiled, "You'll know soon enough."    

    

As he said that, he gently hooked his foot, and a sword gently swept up, firmly landing in Yang Jiekai's palm.
