Chapter 126: The Arrogance of the Solitary Sword

There were sounds of breathing and heartbeats.

The "Solitary Sword" finally made his move. He always went all out when he attacked, and his moves were always lethal. Everyone could only describe him with three words: "fast", "ruthless", and "accurate". The "Solitary Sword" could attack not just the limbs but the entire body. Every part of his body was so flexible, agile, and lethal. At this moment, Chu Tian instantly became calm and elegant. His whole body was like a green leaf caressed by the morning breeze, swaying precariously but never falling. He could always slip away at the moment when the "Solitary Sword" was about to succeed in his attack, and he did it so naturally.

The figure and moves of the "Solitary Sword" were too fast to be clearly seen. All that could be seen was a black shadow fluttering around Chu Tian like a wandering soul. However, no matter how fast the "Solitary Sword" attacked, with his intimidating palm force and fierce moves, once they reached Chu Tian, they were all defused by Chu Tian's simple yet ingenious palm techniques, or Chu Tian narrowly dodged them.

Ye Sanxiao looked at Chu Tian's flexible body and was a bit puzzled. "Why is this kid getting more energetic as he fights?"

Tu Longhu gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "This kid has an extraordinary mind and strong martial arts skills. He seems weak and unable to parry, but in fact, he hides murderous intent and is always one step ahead."

The hearts of the Xiao sisters were also pounding. They didn't know if Chu Tian could win this battle. Xiao Sirou's heart was completely devoted to Chu Tian, and even Xiao Nianrou, who was usually gentle and kind, was gradually developing feelings for Chu Tian. Beautiful women are always likely to fall in love with strong men in harsh environments.

When the "Solitary Sword" launched a move, a sudden gust of cold wind blew up, and the light from his fingers was like a stream, enveloping Chu Tian's entire body in a shower of finger strikes. Chu Tian flashed his body and avoided this exquisite move of the "Solitary Sword" with a mysterious footwork. Taking advantage of the situation, he slapped out a palm, and the palm force was like a strong wind, almost hitting the "Solitary Sword"'s face. The "Solitary Sword" was shocked again. It turned out that Chu Tian had such inner strength. At such a young age, he didn't know where he had learned such martial arts skills and inner strength. Given time, he would surely become a top master.

Chu Tian continuously dodged three moves from the "Solitary Sword" and couldn't help but admire him sincerely. He knew that he had encountered a peerless master. He was a bit surprised. How had the "Solitary Sword" practiced his skills to reach this level? In ancient times, it would have been understandable, as martial arts were popular, and there were many secret manuals and mental techniques, so there were naturally many masters. He didn't expect that there were still people like the "Solitary Sword" nowadays. If Li Zifeng had sent him to assassinate Liu Dayong, I'm afraid Liu Dayong would have been dead long ago.

When the "Solitary Sword" saw that he couldn't defeat this unknown young man with three consecutive moves, his face changed slightly. He took a small step with his feet, got close to Chu Tian, waved his right fist, and then his left palm circled and thrust out, attacking both above and below. When Chu Tian dodged the "Solitary Sword"'s right fist that turned into a claw attack and was about to move away, the "Solitary Sword" put his hands on the ground, stepped on the wall with his right foot, and kicked out his left foot in the air, hitting Chu Tian's chest exactly. Chu Tian couldn't hold his ground and fell backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his chest ached faintly.

This kick from the "Solitary Sword" was truly wonderful and unexpected.

Ye Sanxiao laughed several times, touched his head, and said, "Damn, he's really amazing. It's worth the huge sum of money I paid him. I guess this kid can't take it anymore and should be unable to fight any longer. Leaders, let's get ready to do our thing and wipe out the remaining members of the Jiang Bang, haha."

The Xiao sisters not far away quickly stood up and were about to go forward to check on Chu Tian's injury, but Master Ba shook his head to stop them.

At this moment, when Haizi and the others saw that Chu Tian was injured, they were shocked and rushed over to support him. They asked with concern, "Third brother, are you okay? Where are you hurt? It's all our fault that you got hurt." Seeing the members of the Jiang Bang supporting Chu Tian and showing their concern, the Xiao sisters stopped in their tracks. Their faces were filled with great concern, but they were also helpless. First of all, they were not Chu Tian's girlfriends, and it was a bit inappropriate for them to go forward as his adopted sisters, especially since there was still a feud between the Green Gang and the Jiang Bang.

The "Solitary Sword" didn't pursue his victory. He still casually took a stance in the middle and looked at Chu Tian. His eyes were no longer as cold as before, and there was even a hint of approval and a bit of sigh. He approved that Chu Tian was able to dodge his successive moves, and after being hit, he only spat out blood and didn't collapse to the ground. It was probably hard to find such a strong young man in a hundred years. He sighed because he wondered why this kid had to offend Ye Sanxiao and the others. Once he had offended them, it would be difficult for him to survive tonight. Although the "Solitary Sword" appreciated talent, he also cherished his own life because he suddenly wanted to marry another wife.

The reason why Chu Tian was hit by the "Solitary Sword" was that he didn't expect the "Solitary Sword"'s martial arts skills to reach such a level. He was stronger than three Tu Longhus. Moreover, he had fought several battles tonight, and his physical strength had been consumed. He had also channeled his true qi to treat Guangzi's injury, consuming a lot of his true qi, so he was temporarily exhausted. Chu Tian sat down and channeled his true qi, circulating it throughout his body. In any case, he had to defeat the "Solitary Sword" tonight and save the more than a hundred people in the Jiang Bang. At this moment, Chu Tian was actually hoping that Tian Yangsheng would appear.

Moments later, to everyone's surprise, Chu Tian slowly stood up again. There was no paleness on his face; instead, it became even more ruddy. Chu Tian rubbed his joints all over his body, and a calm but imposing aura emanated from his body. Chu Tian smiled and looked at the "Solitary Sword". Now, he was full of unyielding fighting spirit again. The bright moon shone on Chu Tian, making him look especially extraordinary.

The "Solitary Sword" suddenly wanted to marry a wife because he felt a bit lonely and vicissitudes. Over the years, he had been fighting and killing, earning himself wealth and a reputation in the underworld. He had once been addicted to the life of bloodshed, enjoying the thrill of taking someone's life with a single sigh. However, as time passed, the hatred in his heart had faded a lot. Now, he was a bit tired of it. The coldness from his bones began to long for a bit of warmth. A small house in the south of the Yangtze River, a little farmland, and watching the sunset, what a pleasant life that would be?

But the "Solitary Sword" also knew that he had to defeat Chu Tian no matter what, so that Ye Sanxiao could successfully destroy the Jiang Bang. This was what he had promised when he received the huge sum of money from Ye Sanxiao: eliminate any master he met.

There was no wind tonight, but the front of the villa in Shui Xie Hua Du was filled with a murderous aura.

The "Solitary Sword" slightly nodded his head, channeled his strength into his right hand, and as soon as he made a move, he rushed towards Chu Tian like a sword out of its sheath. But he was more agile, sharper, and more lethal than a sword.

Chu Tian completely relaxed himself in the air. The cynical look on his face was gone, and his bright eyes emitted a dazzling light, seemingly full of firm confidence.

The "Solitary Sword" turned his body and was already in front of Chu Tian. His left hand was bent like a tiger's claw, and his right hand was stretched out like a sword, reaching Chu Tian's chest. Chu Tian felt an irresistible and all - penetrating coldness approaching. Even Sirou and Nianrou could tell that if the "Solitary Sword" succeeded in this attack, he could tear open Chu Tian's chest and pierce his heart.

A genuine smile appeared on Ye Sanxiao's face again. It seemed that this move was enough to finish off Chu Tian.

Chu Tian smiled slightly, turned his body slightly, and crouched down on the spot to avoid the "Solitary Sword"'s fierce attack.

The "Solitary Sword" seemed to have anticipated Chu Tian's evasive action. He retracted his hands and turned them into elbow attacks. His body flashed, moving as fast as a rabbit and as swift as a falcon. He swooped down from the air and attacked Chu Tian's head. The force was extremely overbearing and could shatter a thousand catties. This move was very vicious, and it left Chu Tian with no way to retreat and dodge. He could only block it upwards. But one was with the force of a thousand catties, and the other was like a trapped beast with no strength. The outcome was predictable.

However, no one expected it, not even the "Solitary Sword". Chu Tian could actually counterattack.

Chu Tian lay down on the ground, propped his hands against the floor, and suddenly exerted force with his legs, moving as fast as a rabbit out of its cage. The "Solitary Sword"'s elbows hit Chu Tian's left leg, and Chu Tian's right leg struck the "Solitary Sword"'s left knee hard. The "Solitary Sword" couldn't maintain his balance and fell forward. It was too late for him to regain his center of gravity. Chu Tian turned his palm into a fist and struck the "Solitary Sword"'s left chest. Instantly, he changed his hand into a finger strike and struck the left chest again. The "Solitary Sword" quickly jumped backward with his injured left leg, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Chu Tian smiled calmly and didn't pursue the attack. He just stood up slowly and looked at the "Solitary Sword" with bright eyes. The moonlight was like snow, and when it shone on Chu Tian's smiling face, he seemed incredibly elegant.

The "Solitary Sword" sighed and said reluctantly, "I lost." It wasn't easy for the "Solitary Sword" to admit his defeat. The "Solitary Sword" had once longed for defeat, hoping to meet a real opponent and have a good fight with him. Whether he won or lost, it would have been a pleasure. However, the "Solitary Sword" didn't want to lose to Chu Tian today because he wanted to marry a wife. But the reality was so cruel. He was injured and bleeding, the first time he had bled in eight years. At this moment, the "Solitary Sword"'s heart seemed to age a lot. When he had to admit defeat, the feeling was not just humiliation but also sadness, a kind of sadness filled with pain and despair.

Ye Sanxiao looked at the strongest helper he had hired actually admitting defeat, and his heart was filled with anger. He shouted wildly, "You useless guy, you haven't fallen yet. Why are you admitting defeat? Attack him!"

Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, the "Solitary Sword" had just retreated temporarily and hadn't suffered a substantial serious injury. At most, it was a draw, and he was completely capable of fighting again. But for the "Solitary Sword", Chu Tian had already fought against Tu Longhu once. Even though he had an advantage, he still couldn't seriously injure Chu Tian, which was already a humiliation. Now that he had been injured by Chu Tian, it was a complete defeat. Perhaps the "Solitary Sword" could fight desperately and kill Chu Tian, but after all, the "Solitary Sword" was a master in the underworld and cared about his reputation to some extent.

The "Solitary Sword" ignored Ye Sanxiao's madness. He looked at Chu Tian with a lonely expression, dragged his injured left leg, and slowly walked down the hill. Tu Longhu looked at Ye Sanxiao, let out a long sigh, hesitated for a moment, and then followed the "Solitary Sword".
