Lord Shadow

In the entrance area of the cave, Yu Rong did not even have the chance to get frustrated at his current situation as suddenly the sound of clanging of metals could be heard echoing inside the cave like it was a musical instrument being played.

Only this time the sound of clanging of metals did not come from his saber. Instead the sound comes from Xi Feng swords.

Many pebbles of stone hit towards Xi Feng sword. But instead of throwing Xi Feng out of control, it jerks Xi Feng swords and hand into following a certain set of movement.

The pebble of stones seems to have its own force as it forces Xi Feng to advance with his sword.

Yu Rong was shocked and then try to deflect the attack only to find out under the constant barrage of the stones, Xi Feng swordsmanship seems to have changed.

Xi Feng who is holding the sword also recognize the change in his swordsmanship. It did not seem like the Flowing Swordsmanship, yet at the same time it felt like it was the Flowing Swordsmanship

It felt like he was an Immortal treading on clouds using swords to paints the sky with the wind

This time Feng Xiao and Xu Meng widened their eyes looking at this scene. After all they are the observer.

They could see that while it looks like the pebble of stones is attacking Xi Feng, it was not.

The pebble of stones is guiding the movement of Xi Feng sword.

And suddenly the rigid moves that Xi Feng had perform earlier have changed. His sword move is now profound and magical with endless variations of attack

Even though Xi Feng palm is bleeding, he did not feel much pain. It was now that he realizes that word in the manual of the Flowing Sword Art technique.

To hold the sword loosely like one is grasping the wind.

He thought it was just some philosophy mixed with the martial art manual, since Qu Yuan is knowns as also quite the scholar but now as he no longer could exert too much force on his hand to hold the sword, he realizes what it means.

It did not mean one has to hold the sword loosely literally, it means to be like the wind, flowing freely.

Now instead of letting his hand decides where the sword should move, he is letting the movement of the sword decides where his hand should move.

It was like he was being enlightened on something about sword technique. Yu Rong on the other hand panicked now that he was face with this sudden change of moves.

One pebble moves him back but now a few dozen pebble is moving Xi Feng teaching him how to counter his saber technique.

And he could never believe that one could instruct someone with a pebble of stones

If Yu Rong hadn’t seen this with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such carefree and fluctuating moves actually existed in the world.

And that is truly what the moves Xi Feng is employing right now could be called. Fluctuating and carefree.

Each time he tries to chop, the energy and force he had put in his attack would be dispersing like he was chopping through wind.

And not only that. Xi Feng swordsmanship also becomes even more unpredictable.

Xi Feng himself felt more familiar with this new moves and as he follows the direction of where the force of that stone takes his sword, he is slowly memorizing its moves

Right now everyone in the cave is shocked.

Xi Feng is launching a storm of attack with continuous moves. Yet, while the attack looks forceful and overbearing, the one executing it look very carefree.

His sword moves are unpredictable, and flowing like the moves was not planned and yet at the same time managed to counter every single saber technique that Yu Rong executed.

After his Chopping of the Condor saber technique was broken, he switches to the Saber Executing the World technique but each time the saber it about to slice through Xi Feng defenses, its energy was dispersed, creating an odd scene where Yu Rong is seeing trying to push Xi Feng with his saber yet unable too.

It was the oddest thing. He pushes but the force is dispersing with the carefree sword technique that Xi Feng is employing right.

Xi Feng is pale in his face, like his blood was drained out of him, his hand is trembling while holding his sword as the blood from his palm drip down to the edge of his blade yet, he looked very relaxed.

His moves are powerful, yet the hand that grips his sword look like he is about to throw the sword down to the ground or even slid off from his hand if he is not careful.

Yet, such grip is able to perform such powerful and forceful attack.

How could Yu Rong is not shocked? How could Feng Xiao and Xu Meng looking at this scene not feel scared?

Yu Rong had to take one step back after another. The more he attacked, the more he discovers that he is the one at a disadvantages.

It was like every moves that Xi Feng employs draws him even deeper into the swamp of the sword technique. It is full of variations yet it all felt like it is the same moves.

Yu Rong could not understand it at all. The moves are unpredictable yet at the same time it looks so easy. Even after clashing with Xi Feng he still could not understand it yet

Xi Feng realizes that Yu Rong try to lure him out of the cave.

But now, Xi Feng has been saved by that mysterious expert three times now.

This cave is probably the only place where he could survive this. Because of that he forces his Martial Uncle to distance himself from the exit of the cave.

If his martial uncle wanted to lure him out from the cave, then he wanted to make sure his martial uncle stays here inside the cave.

The pebble of stones stopped appearing and no longer guides Xi Feng sword moves but Xi Feng has familiarized himself with the moves. Azief looking at this smiles.

‘I guess he is not entirely stupid’ The moment the pebble of stones stopped Yu Rong felt slightly relieved.

He still could not see where the pebble of stone is coming from but now that the hail of stones has stopped from instructing Xi Feng he felt slightly relieved.

By now he felt only fear and unease. He no longer wanted to kill Xi Feng. He just wanted to get out from this cave

And he is not the only one. Xu Meng look at Feng Xia and nodded. But while Yu Rong path is blocked by Xi Feng, his Senior Brother and sister is not
