Bab 101: The Sword Moves

Ma Hua sent out his sword before Jing Jiu was ready.

The whistling sound travelled along the stone forest.

A sword light headed toward Jing Jiu.

At such a distance, Jing Jiu couldn’t counterattack by using his flying sword, so he had no choice but to dodge the incoming sword.

The only chance for Jing Jiu to defeat Ma Hua was to ride his sword and shorten the distance between him and his opponent, and then to fight him in close combat, even though it was risky.

In an earlier sword trial bout, a disciple of Bihu Peak fought this way against Big Brother of Tianguang Peak who was in a higher Cultivation state.

Ma Hua was good at planning, so he had made plans. If Jing Jiu could dodge his flying sword and approach him, he would retrieve his flying sword and move backward, to keep a safe distance between them. In so doing it would be impossible for Jing Jiu to defeat him.

He didn’t care about whether this method would bring him shame.
