Mu Xujing glanced at Lingluo and said, "Get out of the way. I'll fight him."
"Why?" Ling Luo sneered, "I came here first, so if we have to fight, I'll fight him first, you get in line."
Yue Liangze was speechless. He didn't expect that these two people would stay up late at night and come to fight with him.
The long sword in Mu Xujing's hand reflected the moonlight from the sky, cold and evil.
He changed his tactics but still did not retreat.
Yue Liangze said: "Wait a minute, I also want to try his sword."
Lingluo turned around and glared at him.
Yue Liangze stepped over her and protected her behind him.
Ling Luo stood under the cherry tree and said angrily, "Then whoever wins will fight me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two figures moved.
The two men left afterimages and clashed with their swords. The falling flowers under the moon were not as fast as the speed of their changing moves. The colliding sword lights chopped the falling flowers into pieces, and the cherry forest rain of flowers increased unknowingly.
Ordinary people would just feel dazzled by seeing afterimages flying around.
Ling Luo saw it clearly, every move, every posture, the circulation of spiritual energy, and the changing sword intent. Mu Xujing still didn't use Beiting Yuegong's swordsmanship, but it was faster than the last time he fought with her.
She recognized whose swordsmanship this was.
Yue Liangze should know better than her.
Ling Luo blinked, and Yue Liangze, who was fighting seriously at this moment, was reflected in her eyes.
It was the second year since she became a demon, and Yue Liangze had been in Nanjiang City for the twenty-third day.
Ling Luo gave up her widow's peak and snatched a copy of the evil sword manual from the twenty-six demons, preparing to practice the demon's swordsmanship.
She didn't like the pure and righteous spirit of every sword she swung.
In her eyes at that time, it was the most useless thing.
But Yue Liangze said, "You can't control it."
Ling Luo said angrily, "What do you care? I'm not going to practice widow's peak anymore, why don't you leave? Do I look easy to talk to?"
Considering that she had forced Yue Liangze to eat baked buns bought on the street a few days ago and felt a little regretful afterwards, she just scolded him verbally but did not do anything physical.
That night, as she lay in bed, she saw Yue Liangze in such a miserable state whenever she opened her eyes or closed them.
No matter how many times he turned and walked away, Lingluo felt that he would never come back.
She seemed to have broken something and it would never heal.
But stopping Yue Liangze from leaving and watching that man standing in silence with his back to her was also a kind of cruelty.
Lingluo was rarely annoyed. She frowned and raised her hands to cover her eyes in the dark.
Ever since she said she wanted to use Yue Liangze to practice her widow's peak, the two of them basically slept in the same bed every night. Even though Ling Luo had told him countless times not to sleep next to her until dawn, she was always coaxed and tricked by Yue Liangze into doing so.
In the end, she just said a few harsh words and was too lazy to take any action.
Since no one came tonight, she couldn't sleep.
The more Lingluo thought about it, the angrier she became.
What did I do!
Isn’t it just letting you eat a bun? If you can’t eat it, then you can’t eat it. Why don’t you say so?
You said you don’t want to eat!
She completely forgot that her evil nature was out of control at that time. If Yue Liangze did not compromise, she would destroy the entire Nanjiang City.
Lingluo was still mumbling to herself when she suddenly heard the door open.
A familiar smell drifted in, and all the voices in my head disappeared.
Yue Liangze entered the room very quietly. He had just come back from a shower and his hair was dry, but his body felt foggy. The faint scent she liked after bathing came and went, becoming clearer when the man approached the bed.
Lingluo slowed down her breathing and pretended to be asleep.
The lights in the room had been turned off long ago, and they had not been turned on when Yue Liangze came in. He walked to the bedside in the dim light as if he was familiar with the way there, but stood there quietly for a moment, as if to confirm whether she was asleep or awake.
Lingluo thought to herself:
Maybe, maybe, I was wrong tonight, so I'll just let you sleep next to me tonight.
Yue Liangze was silent for a long time before he bent down.
There was a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and Lingluo felt him lying down beside her, and then he got into the quilt, bringing with him the cool air and the subsequent warmth.
The man went even further and put his arm around her waist, carefully hugging her from behind, his warm chest against her back, and she could vaguely feel his beating heart.
Lingluo's eyelashes trembled when she recalled the time when Yue Liangze looked at her and said forget it.
never mind.
Let him be tonight.
Yue Liangze lowered his head on her neck, hugging her forcefully yet leaning on her. The boundless darkness concealed his fragility.
"Lingluo." He called the woman's name softly.
Lingluo listened quietly.
He always liked to call her name.
Yue Liangze's voice was very soft.
He said, “I don’t want to eat.”
Their hair was tangled together.
Lingluo listened to the man's slightly trembling voice.
"I don't want to never see you again."
Lingluo didn't know why she briefly compromised with Yue Liangze.
The next day, she went to buy most of the ingredients and came back, telling Yue Liangze that he could do whatever he wanted and that she would never force him to eat again.
Then ask him to finish and leave.
I won’t kill him this time.
Yue Liangze looked at the food all over the room, with a smile in his eyes: "I don't know whether you want me to leave or not."
"You'd better leave now. I may change my mind at any time. Killing you will do me no harm." Lingluo said coldly, "I don't do it now just because I don't want Zhici to come to trouble me and waste my time."
Yue Liangze didn't seem annoyed at all.
Although she no longer practices widow's peak, sometimes Lingluo unconsciously gets too close to him and there is still something going on between them.
Ling Luo took the Evil Sword Manual and wanted to choose a sword technique to practice. After reading the whole book, only one caught her eye.
An evil sword technique called Half-Day Tribulation.
Yue Liangze was silent for a moment, put the prepared snack plate on the table, and said to her: "Do you want to practice this swordsmanship?"
Ling Luo snorted, "Are you scared?"
"It has been lost." Yue Liangze sat down beside her and peeled nuts for her. "This sword technique can only be passed on to one person. It can be used to inflict life or death, but the method is special."
What does it mean that both life and death are acceptable?
Ling Luo tilted her head to look at him and asked suspiciously, "You know?"
"I have fought with the swordsmanship successor of Banri Jie before." Yue Liangze said patiently, "Although it is an evil swordsmanship, the more skilled the learner is, the weaker the evil spirit will be."
"The strongest can reach the point where they can no longer exist."
When he first entered the world, he was invited to go into the mountains to eliminate a demon.
This demon killed 123 people and massacred several teams of soldiers from the royal city that passed by here. He was a great threat to the surrounding villages and towns as well as the soldiers marching on the border.
Ordinary people were afraid and disgusted by the demon that was so detrimental to the order of the world. Although they wanted to get rid of the demon, the demon was too strong and the soldiers were defeated several times. They had no choice but to recruit cultivators from all over the world to get rid of the demon.
That was also the first demon that Yue Liangze killed with Wusheng.
Although it is a demon, it is actually a man possessed by the demon.
In the snowy mountains, the man stood in front of the house with a sword in his hand and smiled at him: "It doesn't matter whether you are a human or a demon, you are all the same."
Although he only had an ordinary sword, he killed many cultivators who came here to eliminate demons.
The demonic aura came from the man himself, not his sword intent.
During the battle, Yue Liangze learned about the evil sword technique called Half-Day Tribulation from the man.
"This sword technique is only passed down to one person. Even if I die, it will find its own successor to continue." The man smiled grimly, "You can't kill them all!"
Yue Liangze killed him, broke his sword, and reduced it to ashes, thinking that this would stop Banri Jie from looking for a successor.
Later, he met someone who knew this sword technique.
Ling Luo laughed at that time: "Since the Half-Day Tribulation has found a successor, how can you say that it has been lost?"
"Because no one knows how to do it now." Yue Liangze said, "Banri Jie is really dead."
Ling Luo didn't believe him, so she asked some twenty-six demons to duel with each other with swords, but they couldn't get the point. She alone learned the basics but didn't get the essence of sword skills.
She ran to Yue Liangze angrily and asked, "Do you have any memory of the Half Day Tribulation?"
Yue Liangze seemed to have known that she would come to ask for it, and he handed her the jade spirit bead slowly and said, "It's stored inside."
Ling Luo looked over the Jade Spirit Bead that he had used to fight against the Half-Day Tribulation over and over again, and finally determined that it was impossible to practice the Half-Day Tribulation.
At that time, she did not ask who was the last person who knew Banri Jie's sword technique, nor did she ask how Banri Jie died.
Because within two days, she left Nanjiang City, abandoning Yue Liangze.
Looking back now, Yue Liangze and Mu Xujing knew each other in their previous life.
There may be many things she doesn't know.
Lingluo came to her senses and saw that the two men were still fighting, so she turned around and left angrily.
There were crisp sounds of swords. Yue Liangze glanced at Lingluo who was leaving, put away his sword and stopped fighting. Mu Xujing, who was about to attack again, also stopped.
"Lingluo." Yue Liangze called her.
Ling Luo turned around: "What are you doing?"
Yue Liangze blinked: "Why did you leave?"
There was still a hint of confusion in his words.
Ling Luo sneered: "You have someone to practice sword with, why shouldn't I leave? I want to go back to sleep."
Yue Liangze put away his sword, ignored Mu Xujing, and walked towards Lingluo: "Why did you come to see me?"
Mu Xujing: “?”
His brows were gloomy and he asked, "Why are you leaving?"
Yue Liangze said, "No more fighting."
Mu Xujing: "She said before that whoever wins will fight."
"You can't beat me." Yue Liangze tilted his head and raised his eyes slightly, "You challenged me to fight tonight, you must have known that I was the one who killed your master."
Mu Xujing looked at him calmly.
He knew that the murderer was a disciple of the Holy Sword Sect, but he didn't know what that person looked like.
Ling Luo was surprised and asked, "Didn't Jiang Miao tell you that he was from the Holy Sword Sect?"
After all, she is the current Palace Master of Beiting Moon Palace. Mu Xujing only knows that those who look down on Jiang Miao would call her by her name, so he couldn't help but glance at Ling Luo.
Mu Xujing: "I can't understand her sign language."
Ling Luo: “…”
Mu Xujing asked Yue Liangze again: "Why are you so sure that I can't win?"
"Your master can achieve the state of not breathing at all, but you are still a little short of that. He can still sense the evil spirit when fighting with you. If you fight against someone at the level of a sect leader, it will bring you trouble if you are sensed." Yue Liangze said calmly, "If you can't achieve the state of not breathing at all, you can't get out of this sword formation."
Mu Xujing frowned slightly, and there was a rare change of emotion on his face.
He looked down and saw that the originally scattered cherry blossoms had turned into a sword formation and was being stepped on by him.
"You are good at swordsmanship, but your spells are terrible. How could you not notice anything at all?" Lingluo asked, "Didn't your master teach you?"
Mu Xujing was silent for a moment, then said indifferently: "He is not my master, and I am not looking for you for revenge."
Ling Luo: "So you're going to start fighting right away?"
"I just want to test the strength of the person who can kill the Half-Day Tribulation, so as to prepare for the possibility of encountering him in the future." Mu Xujing raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "Your sword had killing intent towards me from the beginning, didn't it?"
Yue Liangze: “…”
Wusheng: It’s your honor!
Yue Liangze said: "I fought with Banri Jie because he was possessed by a demon and was causing harm to others, not because of this sword technique. I have no prejudice against Banri Jie, and I won't keep an eye on you even if you learn it."
Mu Xujing said calmly: "Maybe I will be like him in the future, killing people without blinking an eye."
Yue Liangze: "We'll talk about it then."
Mu Xujing raised his eyes and looked at him: "Will you kill me then?"
"I may not be the one to kill you." Yue Liangze turned to look at him, but nodded towards Lingluo's crooked position, "You may not necessarily become possessed and repeat that person's path."
Ling Luo looked at Mu Xujing and found that he was interesting.
Mu Xujing is the illegitimate son of the former master of Beiting Moon Palace.
The so-called illegitimate child was raised in the countryside since childhood and had nothing to do with Beiting Moon Palace or cultivators.
Although he has spiritual powers, he has never received any teachings and has no aspirations for cultivators.
Even after being brought back to Beiting Moon Palace, no one taught him seriously.
The sword technique that Mu Xujinghui possesses is the Half-Day Tribulation, an evil sword technique that the upright immortal sects despise and resist.
That's all he knows.
This sword technique is rare and not many people know about it. Yuegong even thought it was his own creation and praised him as a genius.
Except for these two people.
After Yue Liangze finished talking to Mu Xujing, he turned back to look at Lingluo and asked, "How do you know about the Half-Day Tribulation?"
Ling Luo lied calmly, "It's recorded in ancient books that during the duel, I sensed the evil in the swordplay, so I tricked him. I didn't expect that I guessed right."
When the two looked at her, Ling Luo said unhappily: "Why are you looking at me? I don't discriminate against this swordsmanship. You can practice it if you want. Whether you can become a demon or not depends on your ability."
I still want to practice!
Mu Xujing received an unexpected answer. After a moment of silence, he put away his sword and turned away.
"Hey, stop!" Ling Luo stopped him, "We'll keep it a secret for you, but you have to do something for me."
Mu Xujing looked back, "What's the matter?"
Lingluo pointed at Yue Liangze and said, "Practice sword fighting with him here until dawn."
Mu Xujing: "..."
Yue Liangze was stunned: "...Why is he the one practicing with me?"
"I'm here too." Ling Luo blinked, "I want to survive a few more Half-Day Tribulations, too."
Mu Xujing had no choice. He took only two steps before turning back and drawing his sword again.
Lingluo didn't want him to go back to practice sword fighting here, just to make those people who mocked Yue Liangze shut up after losing the Immortal Jade tomorrow.
Some of the words were so harsh that she got angry just listening to them.
But I didn’t expect that Mu Xujing would show up halfway, a helper sent from heaven, it would be a waste to not accept him.
Yue Liangze, who was originally waiting for Bai Zang to come back in the cherry forest, inexplicably fought with the two men until dawn. The three of them left the cherry forest when the sun rose.
Ling Luo looked at the two people beside her in confusion: "Why are you following me?"
Yue Liangze: "I live across from you."
Mu Xujing: "I live in the inner court too."
Ling Luo: “…”
