Chapter 612 Snow is falling on the world
Ten miles away, in a dilapidated Taoist temple.

Zhan Zhao and Zhang Jinjiu had just arrived here and were checking Duan Tianya's injuries.

Zhan Zhao grew up in Longquan Zen Temple, where he learned some medical skills. Although he is not as good as the miracle doctors in the world, he is not inferior to ordinary doctors.

"The injury is indeed serious, but fortunately it has stabilized. As long as he goes back and recuperates well, his foundation will not be damaged. Mr. Zhang..."

He had just said half of his words when he suddenly heard explosions in the distance. He turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the sound, and his eyes froze.

Zhang Jinjiu and Duan Tianya had similar reactions.

"Who is fighting this battle? It's so powerful that it can be heard clearly from miles away..."

Zhang Jinjiu's eyes were unusually clear and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Too many things happened in just one day and one night. From the moment the empress dowager was tied up, there has been no peace and quiet.

"It looks like he's heading towards Lin'an. Didn't Brother Chai go that way just now? Could it be... that he ran into some martial arts master?"

Zhan Zhao stood up, with a look of worry on his face.

"Brother Chai...who is he?" Duan Tianya raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

He never knew Chai Xin's real name from beginning to end.

But seeing the reactions of Zhang Jinjiu and Zhan Zhao at this moment, he instinctively felt that this "Brother Chai" seemed to be related to himself.

However, neither of them answered his doubts. Zhan Zhao even said, "Mr. Zhang, you should take Brother Duan back to Hulong Villa first. Remember to take a detour. I will go and check the situation. Brother Chai may be in trouble."

"You kid, you only met that Chai guy once. The situation is complicated right now, and you actually left Tianya and me to support him?"

Although Zhang Jinjiu's words were full of dissatisfaction, he had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he didn't really mind.

While speaking, he helped Duan Tianya up, and then said, "Be careful. If that guy feels difficult, I'm afraid the person coming is not an ordinary person."

"Hahaha, sir, don't worry. If he were just an ordinary person, I, Zhan Xiongfei, would not be interested in getting involved!"

Zhan Zhao laughed heartily, showing his heroic spirit. He tapped the ground with light steps and, with his blue robe fluttering, he jumped over the courtyard wall and left.

"Mr. Zhang, who is this person you are talking about?"

Duan Tianya looked at Zhan Zhao's departing back and couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"Tianya, let's talk about this later. We can't stay here for long. Let's go back first while the fighting is going on over there."

As he spoke, Zhang Jinjiu lifted Duan Tianya's right arm with his shoulder and left the Taoist temple with a leap.

On the other side, Chai Xin was confronting the man in black.

"Liu Sheng Piao Xu, is that you?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking indifferently at the masked man in black with a graceful and delicate figure in front of him.

Under the bamboo hat, the black-clothed man's cold eyes suddenly shrank involuntarily after hearing the words "Liusheng Piaoxu".

Even the hands holding the sword trembled slightly for a moment.

However, the man in black did not answer, and returned to normal in a moment. The cold murderous intent in his eyes reappeared, and was even stronger than before.

"Buzz!"

The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and with a flash of cold light, endless sword energy seemed to be real, condensing out of thin air like a storm, blocking Chai Xin from all directions.

For a moment, Chai Xin's advance and retreat were all filled with sword energy.

You can neither advance nor retreat.

"Your swordsmanship is great, but it's a pity you can't kill me."

Chai Xin smiled slightly, slowly extended his right palm, and gently pushed it in front of him.

"Crash!"

There seemed to be the sound of a roc flapping its wings in the air, and a transparent wall of air suddenly appeared around Chai Xin, one foot away.

The air wall was only an inch thick and did not look solid. However, no matter how hard the man in black swung his sword again and again, thousands of sword energies bombarded the air wall like waves, but he was still unable to break it!

"What a profound inner strength!"

When the man in black saw this scene, his beautiful eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, widened uncontrollably, and his eyelashes trembled. One can imagine how deeply shocked he was.

"When did such a young master appear in the Central Plains? I'm afraid... it's Brother Tianya..."

Chai Xin was not wrong in his guess, the man in black was none other than Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

She was ordered by her father, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, to investigate the truth behind the various accidents that happened to the Izumo delegation.

After some investigation, she actually found some clues and was able to catch up with Chai Xin.

She originally wanted to follow Chai Xin secretly to see where he would go and what he would do.

But she didn't expect that Chai Xin could see through her whereabouts so easily.

"How do you know my name?"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu couldn't suppress the confusion in his heart, and while slashing with his sword, he shouted.

Her voice was like a mountain spring, cold yet gentle, making people happy. Anyone who heard this voice would find it hard to associate it with a cold-blooded killer who kills without blinking an eye.

"How rude! You haven't even answered my question yet, but you're asking me a question instead?"

Chai Xin was still supporting the inner energy wall with one hand, but his expression was relaxed, as if doing so did not pose any pressure or burden to him at all.

The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward and slowly approached Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

"impossible!"

When Liu Sheng Piaoxu saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Her father had told her a long time ago that with her current strength, she could be considered a top-notch master in the entire martial arts world.

Among the younger generation, anyone who can fight with her is proud enough.

As for young men who can be on par with her, I'm afraid it would be hard to find many in the world.

But the young man in front of her, who looked a few years younger than her, had such profound skills that his skills were even superior to hers!
The most important thing is that in the intelligence about the martial artists in the Central Plains that her Yagyu family has collected over the years, there is not a single piece of information about such a young man!
"Snow is falling on the earth!"

Except for the time when she fought with her father, Liu Sheng Piaoxu felt such tremendous pressure for the first time in her life. Her unwillingness to admit defeat made her use her most powerful move.

This move "Snow Falling on the Earth" is the final move of "God-killing Sword" created by Yagyu Tajima-no-kami with his lifelong martial arts experience. Its power is naturally self-evident.

In an instant, the temperature between heaven and earth seemed to drop several times suddenly, and the air was almost condensing.

Then, sword energy danced like snowflakes, falling from the sky and covering the earth.

Those "snowflakes" looked incredibly beautiful, but the endless murderous intent contained in them was enough to make anyone who saw them suffocate and tremble all over.

Half a mile away, Zhan Zhao was coming.

"Such a strong sword energy! Such a deep murderous intent! Who is this person?"

Sensing the cold sword energy coming from the front, Zhan Zhao's gentle eyes suddenly narrowed, and his face looked more serious than ever before. "If I dare to be careless with this sword, I'm afraid I might be doomed!"

He couldn't help feeling anxious, and his movements suddenly became faster.

A few miles away, Zhang Jinjiu and Duan Tianya were running, and they took a detour and headed towards Lin'an.

Suddenly, both of them felt the cold sword energy coming from afar and turned their heads to look involuntarily.

"Another monster appeared. Fortunately, I didn't go there with kid Zhan!" After a brief surprise, Zhang Jinjiu couldn't help but feel secretly grateful.

If he got involved with his strength, and with a seriously injured Duan Tianya with him, facing such a strong enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, he was so busy hurrying on his way that he did not notice the expression on Duan Tianya's face at this moment.

"This sword power... How is it possible?! Am I seriously injured and am I hallucinating?"

His expression changed drastically and he could hardly believe his own perception.

The sword intent conveyed by the fierce and unparalleled sword moves in the distance instantly reminded him of an old friend who had been buried in his heart for a long time...

He couldn't believe it, or he didn't dare to think about the details.

Thinking about what the young man had told him before he left in the morning about the connection between his adoptive father Zhao Wusi and Yagyu Tajima no Kami... he didn't dare to think about it any more.

"No, it must be my hallucination."

Duan Tianya exhaled deeply and closed his eyes, as if this could convince himself to stop thinking about the terrible thoughts that had been tormenting him since last night.

Unconsciously, in just one night, his worldview had shown signs of collapse.

"Snow is falling on earth... The Yagyu family's unique skills are indeed extraordinary. It's really amazing. I'm grateful for your teachings!"

Chai Xin looked at his tattered black robe and the wounds all over his body that were oozing blood, but there was no pain or resentment on his face.

On the contrary, he actually sincerely thanked the woman not far in front of him.

At this time, Liu Sheng's hat turned into powder and scattered between heaven and earth. Even the black scarf that covered his face had disappeared. His beautiful cheeks looked even more delicate and sad as the blood color faded.

Her clothes were intact, but the hair around her ears was scattered, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth, which flowed from her white chin to her delicate neck. It was obvious that the injury was serious.

All the grass within a ten-foot radius around the two men disappeared, leaving only a mess of dust and soil.

Within a radius of thirty feet, all the weeds were reduced to ashes, and some trees were broken by the sword energy and palm power, leaving the whole place in a mess.

"What kind of palm technique are you doing?"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu recalled the palm print as big as a car frame and asked with a look of horror.

Just now, the handsome young man in front of her actually blocked her proud ultimate move with a palm force!

You know, her father, Yagyu Tajima no Kamito, once said bluntly that if Yagyu Piaoxu used this sword move with all her strength, even he would not be sure of taking it!
Although Chai Xin looks a little embarrassed now, he actually has a strong aura and his origin is not damaged at all.

Although the sword wounds on his body looked miserable, they were actually just superficial injuries. With his recovery ability, he would be able to fully recover in a few days without even leaving any scars.

On the contrary, after a fierce battle with Chai Xin, Liu Sheng Piaoxu had already suffered internal injuries and had very little internal strength left.

If he doesn't get treated quickly, and delays for a few more hours, it's hard to say whether he can survive.

"It's just a slapstick I made up on the spur of the moment. I haven't thought of a name for it yet."

Chai Xin smiled faintly, his long hair fluttering in the wind, his eyes bright as stars, and he continued to walk towards Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

"Girl, since you are here to kill me, you must be ready to be killed, right?"

His smile was very gentle, but the words he spoke were extremely grim. The contrast between the two made people feel even more frightened.

"puff!"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu's body suddenly went limp and he half-knelt on the dust. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The black suit in front of him was immediately stained red and his face became even paler.

Snow-white skin, black robes, bright red blood.

The interweaving of the three makes the scene even more poignant and mournful.

Even though she was at the end of her rope, she still looked stubborn, staring at Chai Xin expressionlessly. Although she didn't say anything, she seemed to be saying, "If I die, I die. There's nothing to say."

Those who kill will be killed. This is the fate that people in the world should think about before setting foot in the world.

"Yes, that's good."

When Chai Xin saw Liu Sheng Piaoxu's expression, he knew what he was thinking.

He actually admired the woman in front of him, even though she was out to kill him. But there were not many people in this world who could recognize what they had done and were willing to pay the price for it.

"boom!"

Suddenly, several black bullets were thrown in front of Chai Xin, a series of explosions sounded, and bursts of white smoke rose, covering an area of ​​several feet in radius.

This is obviously the method used by Japanese ninjas. Someone came to rescue Yagyu Piaoxu.

"Shh!"

In the pitch-black white smoke, a dazzling sword light cut through the air and headed straight for Chai Xin's face.

The power of this sword is much deeper than that of Liu Sheng Piaoxu, and the strength of the person who wields it should not be underestimated.

Chai Xin was already alert the moment the explosion occurred.

The person who came to rescue him was able to get close to him silently. Although he was exhausted at the moment, he was definitely not an ordinary person to be able to do this.

Therefore, he was extremely alert.

He pushed the ground hard with his feet, and before the sword light appeared, he had already jumped several feet high, making the sword hit the air.

"Brother Chai, I'm here to help you!"

But at this moment, a clear whistle was heard, and then a sword with dazzling cold light shot out from a distance, aiming directly at the center of the smoke.

"Ding!"

The man in the smoke and dust swung out a sword, and where the two swords collided, the powerful sword energy swept across, immediately clearing away the surrounding smoke and dust.

A figure dressed in black warrior attire, also masked with a black scarf, appeared on the scene.

There was quite a bit of white in the bun on this person's hair, and it was obvious that he was quite old.

"Brother Chai, are you okay?"

The one who came to support Chai Xin was naturally Zhan Zhao, and at this time the Juque sword had returned to his hand.

Chai Xin smiled and shook his head: "I didn't expect to meet you again so soon, thank you brother Zhan."

"When we see injustice, we should help. Moreover, in China, how can we allow people from other countries to act recklessly?"

Zhan Zhao walked up to Chai Xin with a sword in hand and said as a matter of course.
