Chapter 188: Drinking under the Moon, Reasons for Swinging the Sword
"happy!"
In an elegant empty courtyard in Changle Tianzhong, Yao Luo and his partner sat opposite each other on stone chairs, with two jade cups reflecting the moonlight placed on either side.
Yao Luo raised the cup high and drank it all in one gulp.
"You're good too."
At this moment, Jing Liu has put on the black eye mask again, and the Silver Moon Sword is placed comfortably on the table, becoming a part of this picture.
"I'm afraid the staff of the Land and Resources Bureau will have a sleepless night tonight."
Yao Luo looked at the busy renovation team under the pavilion with a bit of gloating. Everyone of them carried a measuring instrument in their hands, and behind them, a huge steel giant with a golden talisman in the center followed closely behind them.
"They've even sent out the 'Golden Gatekeepers'. Looks like they've created quite a stir."
Jing Liu was calm and composed, as if he was accustomed to such things.
The swords that the two men had just wielded had completely cut off half of the street's land around them. Of course, both of them were top fighters, and the energy fluctuations between their moves naturally did not hurt anyone else.
“Hey, it’s a good thing General Jingyuan didn’t see it, otherwise my waist bag wouldn’t be so thick.”
Yao Luo waved his hands. He had once again experienced the feeling of "running away from the bill". As for why he said "once again".
A senior brother named Chen asked for compensation...
"Jing Yuan, since you know him, it seems that your identity is not simple?"
Jingliu seemed to be recalling something from the past. He stared at the bright moon with his black eye mask on. He also drank the whole drink in one gulp, with a spirit that was no less than Yaoluo's.
"Oh? So, the young lady knows General Jing Yuan?"
Yao Luo raised his eyebrows, and immediately felt that the person he was fighting with was not simple.
"Just some past events."
Jingliu answered Yaoluo in a cold voice, and it seemed that she had no interest in bringing up the past.
Although there was no answer, Yao Luo had already imagined a thousand-year-long "love-hate relationship" between the two through Jing Liu's address to Jing Yuan.
Looking at Yao Luo's squinting eyes and his strong desire for knowledge, Jing Liu couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"I just came to see some old friends. Luofu is in trouble now."
With these words that were spoken calmly and with wisdom, Yao Luo suddenly had a higher opinion of the woman in front of him.
In Luofu's current situation, although there is the hidden danger of the star core and the abundant evil creatures that have appeared in a small area, ordinary people have absolutely no way of knowing such a secret. How did she find out?
As he spoke, Jingliu sat up from his chair after mentioning the past. The pine wind and bright moon in the courtyard passed between the two of them, blowing the hem of Jingliu's clothes up in the wind.
"You didn't use your full strength just now, did you?"
Yao Luo asked the question in a slightly serious tone. Although he was also excited at the beginning, the more he talked, the more he felt that the purpose of this person's appearance was not simple.
Why did this person appear on his way to the Shen Ce Mansion just when he had just dealt with the evil creature secretly taught by the King of Medicine?
"When fighting, remember to use your anger. The clash of swords is like the sound of a musical instrument. The collision of weapons and the angle of swinging reveal a person's character and philosophy."
Jingliu put one hand on his back, and his every word and action showed the demeanor of a master.
"And, if we're talking about full strength, you should be the same, little brother."
Jingliu's black eye mask was slightly sideways. Although through the eye mask, Yao Luo did not feel that Jingliu's movements were hindered at all.
Indeed, Yao Luo still has some "memory" and destiny power left in his body. Whether it is the "absolute time stillness" or "power of the Herrscher" moves he comprehended in the Collapse World, if there is only one chance, Yao Luo can certainly use them completely.
"The reason for drawing a sword determines a person's martial arts and character. That's what I once heard."
"Young man, what is your reason for drawing your sword?"
Jingliu's question was indeed like a sharp sword that pierced deeply into Yao Luo's heart.
From the time he boarded the Star Train until now, he has encountered many obstacles and has grown in his own way, but the purpose of his journey has become increasingly vague.
At first, he wanted to see the wonders of this sea of stars and find his way home.
However, having power itself is something that can attract others. So far, many forces related to the Star God or their own perspectives have been placed on him. Memory, development, joy, hunting...Yao Luo can imagine that in the future, more and more forces will target him and the train.
But can he, who has already left his mark and deep memories in this world, really just walk away?
Yao Luo thought of everyone on the Yalilo VI. It seemed that he had not had time to visit them after he came back.
And if one day, the forces that have set their sights on him turn their attention to his friends, family, and partners, will he really be able to protect them?
Yao Luo remembered the red clown mask that he would never forget.
"Ahaha, the Star God of Joy..."
Yao Luo clenched his hands on the table slightly. Although he already had a certain amount of strength, when facing that supreme being, he was still no different from an ordinary person.
"What if the enemy blocking the train's path in the future is a star god like Aha?"
Yao Luo fell into deep thought, and Jing Liu was not in a hurry to interrupt him, giving Yao Luo enough time to think.
After a long time, Yao Luo still couldn't give Jing Liu an accurate answer. To him, power was just power.
"The way of using a sword is to cut when necessary and never regret it."
Jingliu strolled in front of Yaoluo, staring at him with the black eye mask printed with the moon on it.
Yao Luo felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by such a warrior.
"Although I don't know what you've been through, I do know a thing or two about using a sword."
"Star Gods, in the vast galaxy, are they really the masters of everything?"
Jingliu did not use swordsmanship terms to communicate with Yaoluo, but instead used a question to explain her words indirectly.
"The lifespan of ordinary people is only a few hundred celestial eternities. We call them short-lived species. The immortal boat people, even the vidyadharas and other long-lived species, can only live for a thousand years at most."
The sound of Jingliu is like water flowing quietly across the mirror. The calmness that comes from going through so many vicissitudes of life is fully displayed in this swordsman.
"However, if we focus on the galaxies in the universe, the death of stars, the migration and changes of superclusters of galaxies, all of which are vicissitudes of history spanning hundreds of millions of years."
"In front of these stars that easily live hundreds of millions of years, what's the difference between long life and short life?"
"The power of the Star God is like the contrast between the stars and us, but does that mean you can say that people's existence is worthless?"
With a clang, Jingliu's sword returned to her hand. Her long white hair accompanied by the icy sword made Yao Luo suddenly feel that this was Jingliu's complete form.
"Swordsmen live between heaven and earth, and they must use the three feet of cold light in their hands to leave a mark in this world!"
"My own traces."
Jing Liu slowly turned his head and the black eye mask slipped off quietly. The blood-red eyes were extremely beautiful under the moonlight, but Yao Luo felt an extremely repressed emotion and a will that was strong enough to kill gods with a sword!
"Little brother, do you want to take my sword?"
The same words, spoken again by Jingliu, have a completely different meaning.
Yao Luo no longer needed to answer. The jade cup in his hand turned into powder and condensed into a sword in his hand.
Jing Liu raised his hand, and the ice-blue sword suddenly became thick and majestic, and the beautiful waist left a mark in the air. As the sword was swung, a bright moon and a mirror-like lake appeared in the venue.
This is not artificial moonlight in Luofu, but a natural phenomenon caused by Jingliu's sword swing.
The power of this sword is a world apart from the previous sparring.
Draw your sword and kill!
Then, the "sword force" that was like the Milky Way in the sky gradually occupied Yao Luo's field of vision, until the entire sky turned into an endlessly flowing "Sword of the River"!
"Really, I was taught a lesson."
Faced with this blow that could definitely threaten his life, there was no other expression in Yao Luo's eyes, only high concentration and focus.
Because, the power of the "hunting" destiny, the "bow" in Yao Luo's body that he had never dared to use before, finally moved.
Degenerated into a beast (sad)
