章 38: That Year's Snowstorm, Madam Hua's Unknown Side
編集者: Atlas Studios
Smoke curled up, and the golden years turned into incense pillars that burned gently. It was like every tick of a clock going back, or every quicksand flowing backward in an hourglass.
A green stone was thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples in the passage of time.
The scene was like a trembling lake, just like An Le's rising and falling heart.
As the trembling spread, everything in front of him began to slowly become clear.
...
The evening clouds were thick, and white feather-like snow fell from the sky and filled the world.
Auspicious snow was a sign of prosperity.
On the snowy field, a young girl was dancing with a sword. She was wearing embroidered clothes. Although it was snowing, the Qi Blood in her body surged like a dragon or tiger, dispelling the cold and steaming.
The woman was none other than Madam Hua, or rather, the young Madam Hua.
The young girl Hua Jiebing's beautiful face was flushed with Qi Blood. Her eyes were filled with worry. She held a sword in her hand. The sword was long and slender, like a spring rain falling on the mortal world.
The name of the sword was Spring Rain, one of Hua Jiebing's swords.
"I failed again. Is this 'Collapsing Sword' that difficult?"
At this moment, Hua Jiebing, who was still a young girl, was naive and innocent. She pouted her red lips and suddenly threw her sword. The Spring Rain Sword flew up. The Qi Blood in Hua Jiebing's body circulated like a heat wave as she ran out.
The snow was blown away. Hua Jiebing rushed up and the Spring Rain fell again. The moment it fell, Hua Jiebing clenched her fist and punched out, hitting the end of the sword hilt with a huge force.
THUD!
An invisible wave of air exploded slightly. The Spring Rain whistled out, but it twisted and smashed into the snow, creating a snow gully.
Hua Jiebing landed on the ground and frowned.
Another failure made Hua Jiebing, who was learning swordsmanship for the first time, a little discouraged.
Sitting in the snow, she pouted as if she was angry. After a long time, she raised her head. A strange expression suddenly appeared on her beautiful face. She scanned her surroundings and confirmed that there was no one around.
The girl got up, patted her butt, and eagerly grabbed her sword, Spring Rain.
She took a deep breath and with the help of her mental power, she flew out. The girl ran like a cunning rabbit and jumped up.
As the Spring Rain approached, the girl clenched her fists and her Qi Blood was like a furnace. In an instant, her red lips widened as she shouted.
"Hey! Look at my Collapsing Sword!"
Her shout shattered the flying snow that was close to her.
In an instant, the girl's fist hit the hilt of the sword, and there was a muffled thunderclap. It was like a thunderclap behind the clouds, deafening!
The Spring Rain Sword was like a wild dragon emerging from the abyss. It created a white qi current in the snow, it was as if the air had been sliced apart, and it was like the sky was falling apart!
THUD!
On the snowy field, a five-meter-wide pit suddenly exploded.
In the pit, the snow had melted. A thin spring rain quietly stabbed into the ground. The sword that had not reached the ground was swaying slightly, emitting scorching heat.
In the distance, on the snowy ground, the young girl was cheering and smiling as brightly as the warm sun in spring.
"Hey, look at my Collapsing Sword!"
The girl stepped on the snow and bounced around. As she ran over to pick up the sword, she even made a fist gesture.
Naive and innocent, like a fairy in the snow.
...
At this point, the scene began to dissipate until it disappeared.
An Le broke away from the scene of the past and couldn't calm down for a long time. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his expression was strange.
This time, An Le saw the cute side of Madam Hua, but this was normal.
Just like before, when he saw the cold Fairy Yun Rou, she clenched her fists and said "charge, charge, charge" in a childish manner.
One could always see some unknown aspects of time.
The corners of An Le's lips curled up. For some reason, he felt a little amused.
"Hey, look at my Collapsing Sword!"
An Le clenched his fist and tried to wave it forward. At the same time, he shouted something that Madam Hua had once shouted.
It was an inexplicable joy.
If he shouted such words in front of Madam Hua, who knew what expression Madam Hua would have on her face on the spot? Would she slap him to death?
The more An Le thought about it, the happier he became.
At the same time, a light screen appeared in front of him.
[Obtained Age Dao Fruit: Collapsing Sword Force (0/10 wisps)]
[Note: Collapsing Sword Force (Dao Fruit): The combination of Qi Blood and mental power creates a unique force. It can be augmented on the sword and arm. The power of sword techniques can be increased.]
His eyes lit up slightly. Madam Hua had used the Collapsing Sword and condensed the Dao Fruit [Collapsing Sword Force]. From the Dao Fruit's description, it could be seen that this Collapsing Sword Force was a method of exerting strength and was used for attack.
What did An Le lack the most now?
The "Sword Waterfall Diagram" was a mental power cultivation technique and was considered a visualization technique. After all, it was not an offensive sword technique. Although the "Five Animals Body Tempering Technique" contained offensive techniques, it was still considered a Body Tempering Technique.
There were actually no proper offensive methods.
The appearance of the Collapsing Sword Force slightly made up for An Le's lack of offensive skills. This was because it could be seen from Madam Hua's time frame that the Collapsing Sword Force could be considered a sword technique.
"I just don't know if my Collapsing Sword Force will have an additional increase in power when I shout 'Hey, look at my Collapsing Sword'."
An Le's lips curled up as he couldn't help but think.
The sun slowly set and hid behind the West Mountain. It released the afterglow of the afterglow, illuminating the charm of the spring sun and painting a colorful scene in the human world.
An Le opened his eyes. The old pagoda tree rustled under the spring breeze, bringing with it a different kind of satisfaction.
After waiting quietly for a while, the old man from the Imperial Ancestral Temple had yet to arrive. An Le stood up and began to practice the Collapsing Sword Force under the old locust tree.
Even though he had condensed a Dao Fruit and could be considered to have grasped the basics, if he wanted to be proficient in it, he still had to rely on himself to try and comprehend it.
Taking off the bamboo sword Green Mountain that was tied to his waist, An Le recalled the way the young lady Madam Hua used the sword. At that time, Madam Hua's cultivation level should not have exceeded the fifth realm. An Le could still see some gains.
After a moment of preparation, he simulated the Collapsing Sword several times in his heart.
An Le exhaled and suddenly threw the bamboo sword in his hand. He controlled it with the Collapsing Sword Force and his Embryonic Breath mental power spread out. He controlled Green Mountain to float slightly in the air, and the Qi Blood in his body that had reached the perfected-stage Qi Blood Awakening surged out. In the next moment, he clenched his fist and smashed it on the hilt.
As for the words "Hey, look at my Collapsing Sword", the youth felt a little ashamed and ultimately didn't say it.
THUD!
An invisible wave of air exploded between the fist and the hilt of Green Mountain, causing the locust leaves on the ground in the courtyard to flutter.
The Collapsing Sword immediately whistled out. Its speed was quite fast, and its momentum was like lightning as it collided with the old locust tree.
The bamboo sword, Green Mountain, was inserted into the old pagoda tree's body. The place where the sword touched the tree trunk emitted a scorching sword qi that was entangled with wisps. The old pagoda tree that was stabbed seemed to tremble, rustling and shaking leaves.
An Le stood quietly on the spot and recalled the way he exerted strength just now. His mental power and Qi Blood blended together. Although it was unfamiliar, it did have a unique force.
Collapsing Sword Force… It was a very domineering way of exerting force.
An Le pondered. If he enhanced his arm and used the Bird Form or Tiger Form, the explosive power could not be underestimated.
If he faced Hu Jingang again, the latter might die even more quickly.
The unfamiliarity of the circulation of the Collapsing Sword Force made An Le feel uncomfortable. With a thought, he added the two wisps of gray Age Qi that he had absorbed from Madam Hua to the Dao Fruit's Collapsing Sword Force.
In an instant, the gray incense pillar was ignited, and an image appeared.
The scene was filled with Madam Hua practicing the Collapsing Sword Force and making some progress.
Accompanied by a demonic shout of "Hey, look at my Collapsing Sword",
An Le's lips curled into a smile. The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and pulled out the Green Mountain Bamboo Sword from the old locust tree, preparing to do it again.
At the entrance of the courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun shone.
The old man was dressed in plain clothes and bathed in a red glow. He stood quietly with a bamboo cane in his hand and held a painting in one hand. He did not disturb An Le, who was cultivating, and even observed it with interest.
An Le might not have noticed the old man, but even if he did, he was unwilling to waste and divert his mental power.
The Embryonic Breath's mental power flowed as it controlled the bamboo sword Green Mountain to rise into the sky. The Qi Blood in its body flowed like a river. An Le pounced forward and circulated the Tiger Form. The Collapsing Sword Force was hidden in the fist sword. It punched out and collided with the hilt of Green Mountain.
His boiling blood and mental power clung to the bamboo sword Green Mountain. The sword quickly shot out like a cannonball, as fast as lightning behind the clouds, ruthlessly stabbing into the trunk of the old locust tree.
The bamboo sword had no edge, but it was stabbed into the old pagoda tree.
Many of the bark on the old locust tree's trunk had even exploded from the force.
The Green Mountain was still there, and the sun was setting.
The old man of the Imperial Ancestral Temple stood at the door with his long eyebrows slightly lowered. On his wrinkled face, he looked at the tattered bamboo sword inserted into the old locust tree in a daze. The bamboo sword swayed gently.
Vaguely, the old man seemed to hear the clear and cheerful sword hum of the bamboo sword Green Mountain.
He couldn't help but think of the young man's words when he first held the bamboo sword. "I see how charming the green mountains are, and the green mountains should feel like this when they see me."
The old man suddenly chuckled. His smile was like the white snow that covered the mountain when the sun rose.
The young man and Green Mountain regretted not meeting sooner.
The bamboo sword that had accompanied him for three hundred years might have found its new master.
Great.
