devil may cry

Chapter 53. Reciprocity

When Bei Mingyan's illness improved a little bit, Xue Luoqian also unknowingly became busy, especially at night, he came to him less often.

He didn't ask Xue Luoqian what he had been doing, but he knew from his appearance that it must not be a good thing, at least it would not be a relaxing drink of tea.

Fushi will continue as usual, because he doesn't go out these days, so he doesn't know how busy Lian Chengsi has become.

As the days approached, not only Jianghu, but also the imperial court sent people to attend this grand event second only to the martial arts conference.

Xue Luoqian, as the main force of the Xue family, was supposed to play by drawing lots, but Mu Chenjian saw Bei Mingyan's heart skip a beat, and always felt that he would shatter as soon as he swung his sword hard.

After he heard who had come to the conference, the hairs all over his body stood on end.

"This sword won't work, you just mentioned the middle man, just take someone as an example... Let's take "Golden Retriever Lion Roar" Feng Tao as an example, he can't stand it even if he barks."

This is an exaggeration, Xue Luoqian said: "I may not get him."

"It's too late." Bei Mingyan took Mu Chen, "I think you've been holding Fengshan before, so I don't know what other sword can match you."

"It's just a weapon."

"You are also good at other things?"

"generally."

No, this is not a child's play. In the small case, Xue Luoqian and the Xue family will lose face, and in the large case, the sword will be blind.

Xue Luoqian himself was not worried at all, and sat and drank tea leisurely.

"You come with me."

With a lot of free time during the day, the two disguised themselves, left the Liancheng Division, and came to the largest weapon shop in Jianye City.

Bei Mingyan took out two ingots of silver and a piece of paper, and handed them to the clerk.

The buddy took a look at the papers, and stooped to the back of the stack.

"Buy a sword?"

Bei Mingyan shook his head, as if he didn't care about him, and looked around worriedly, Xue Luoqian knew that he was worried about him, and was about to say a few words of comfort, when the guy had already held out a sword.

Xue Luoqian grew up in the armory since he was a child, and he knew that the sword was painstakingly put out of the sheath. Although it is considered a good sword, let alone Fengshan, even Mu Chen can't compare.

Mu Chen was his gift to Bei Mingyan. He asked his grandfather to forge and quench it with his own choice of materials. No matter what link or detail it was, he strived to be the best. Of course, ordinary swords cannot be compared with it.

Bei Mingyan took the sword and thanked him, then turned to Xue Luoqian: "Try."

Xue Luoqian tapped on the blade of the sword with two fingers and made a clanging sound: "Not bad."

He was very happy in his heart, even if Bei Mingyan gave him a piece of scrap iron, it might still be the answer.

Bei Mingyan was still a little worried.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but your old taste has changed a lot."

Bei Mingyan looked for his reputation, and there were three people standing outside the door, looking towards them, and the one who spoke was one of them, a woman in blue Luo Qun.

"God! Unreasonable!" The man beside him raised his eyebrows and said, "Little sister is rude!"

In the crowd, he didn't call out the leader of the alliance. The two parties agreed, and Xue Luoqian nodded lightly.

The other person breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to introduce himself, but Xue Luoqian said, "Do you dare to compete with me?"

The three people on the opposite side, together with Beiming Yan, were all taken aback.

The woman asked, "What did you say?"

Xue Luoqian raised his chin slightly, indicating the sword in her hand: "Use your time mirror."

Shi Jing, ranked [-]th among the top [-] swordsmen in Zhongzhou, the owner is Shen Mujing.

On the rivers and lakes, there is Linglongfang in the south and Shentou in the north.

The Shen Family of God's Tomb.

Bei Mingyan had heard that the martial arts of the Shentou Tower were superb, strange and unpredictable.

Shen Mujing said: "Fight with you? I don't lose my identity, it's just...do you use it?"

Xue Luoqian looked down at the new sword in his hand, and seemed to be hesitant.

At present, the divine sword is really not a good sword. The children of the world, Bide also has a weapon.

Bei Mingyan's face burned, and he was forced to feel ashamed by the woman's slightly disgusted gaze. He wanted to exchange Mu Chen for Xue Luoqian, but Xue Luoqian looked back at him seriously: "This sword doesn't have a name yet, have you thought about it?" Is it?"

It was quiet again.

Shen Mujing couldn't believe it: "You Tangtang... don't really want to fight me with that broken sword?!"

Xue Luoqian didn't look like he was joking, and Bei Mingyan didn't think he would lose, and was dissatisfied with the girl's words, so he said, "It's called Broken Sword."

The three brothers and sisters of the Shen family: "..."

"Okay," Xue Luoqian nodded, and answered Shen Mujing: "Just use it."

"..."

"Don't you dare?"

"You don't dare!" Shen Mujing broke free from the restraint of her elder brother: "... just compare!"

The two elder brothers couldn't stop the younger sister, so they had to follow them to the school grounds.

Along the way, Shen Muyu, who had been silent just now, kept looking at Bei Mingyan, as if he was very curious about him.

Because of that unwritten agreement, Xue Luoqian was always three steps away from Bei Mingyan, seeing Shen Muyu frequently looking at Bei Mingyan, frowning and walking quickly.

When I arrived at the school field, I quickly went into battle.

"Be careful." Bei Mingyan instructed.

"Ah."

"Hurry up! Leader Xue!"

Xue Luoqian walked a few steps towards the center of the venue, as if thinking of something, he walked up to Bei Mingyan and handed him something: "Help me keep it?"

"it is good."

When he walked away, Bei Mingyan stretched out his hand and saw a black fringed sword tassel lying in his palm.

Before he had time to think about it, the two swords were unsheathed one after another, and they were close to each other without blinking an eye.

Xue Luoqian changed into black clothes, and it was the first time he competed with others, and his figure flickered with the girl in blue Luoqun.

Although Shen Mujing was wearing Luo Qun, it didn't affect her movements at all, and Xue Luoqian didn't underestimate her, she moved faster than usual, as if she wanted to make a quick decision.

The time mirror in Shen Mujing's hand cut across Xue Luoqian's body. Xue Luoqian stepped back slightly, blocked with a broken sword, and flew straight to her knee. Shen Mujing lowered her head and was busy avoiding it. Hitting the time mirror, using the broken sword to exert force, swung her back.

Shen Mujing said angrily: "Why do you fight?!"

Xue Luoqian didn't answer, swung the Broken Sword in a circle in his hand, and charged forward with both hands!

"Very good!" Shi Jing also confronted him head-on.

"clang--"

"puff--"

The two swords collided in the first sound, and Shen Mujing flew out in response to the second sound, and fell to the ground. Shi Jing was thrown far away and stuck on the ground upside down.

Putting the broken sword back into its sheath, Xue Luoqian turned and walked towards Bei Mingyan.

"Little sister!"

"My God!"

"..."

"...Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Brother, how could my time mirror lose?!"

Shen Mufeng adjusted his sister's breath, and sighed in his heart, this silly sister, how did you lose to that nameless sword?Even if you use Fengshan, you will still lose.

Fortunately, Xue Luoqian's strikes were very measured, and Shen Mujing was only shocked a bit, and there was nothing serious about it.

What he didn't see, Bei Mingyan could see.

Shen Mufeng came over: "My lord, my little sister has caused you trouble."

"Assignment."

"The leader is humble."

Shen Mujing had regained her vitality, and she came running over very unconvinced: "You are cheating! How could my time mirror lose to...it!"

Xue Luoqian said seriously: "There is only one possibility."

"what?"

"This is an excalibur that lives among the people."

His expression was extremely serious, and his words were so serious that everyone was dumbfounded, especially Bei Mingyan.

He never thought that the weapons shop in the city could forge the sword Xue Luoqian needed, but in his impatience, he turned a dead horse into a living horse doctor.

Everyone knows Xue Luoqian's ability, his strength was fully demonstrated in the martial arts conference, there is no doubt, since he said so, Shen Muyu and Shen Mujing couldn't help looking at the broken sword in doubt, and then looked at Bei Mingyan carefully.

Excalibur?

Only Shen Mufeng is like a mirror in his heart.

The discussion ends, and we part ways.

Shen Mujing couldn't help asking: "Brother, is that sword really a divine sword?"

"He did use that broken sword to resist the time mirror."

Shen Mujing stepped on her brother: "I didn't ask you which pot is not open and which pot to lift!"

Shen Mufeng shook his head and said: "He moves too fast, I can't see what he's going to do, but brother cares more about the person next to the leader than the sword."

"The one who gave Xue Luo the sword?"

"Could it be that weapon master?" Shen Muyu lowered his head and smiled, "You look good..."

"Stop it, brother! Look at you just now, your eyes are like dog skin plaster!"

Shen Muyu wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Shen Mufeng: "Tian'er is right, it's better to have less contact with this person in the future..."

"I didn't mean that..." While muttering, Shen Muyu finally shut up.

On the other side, Bei Mingyan, who had walked for a while, suddenly stopped: "Draw out the broken sword."

Xue Luoqian obediently drew out his sword. The sword hadn't been fully unsheathed, but it had been broken in the middle.

Bei Mingyan's face was full of disappointment: "Sure enough."

There are so many coincidences about saying that the sword is still living among the people.

"Sorry for wasting your money."

"No, I didn't mean that," what others didn't see, but Bei Mingyan was able to capture it transcendentally with his five senses. When Shi Jing was close, Xue Luoqian tapped Shi Jing's sword with two fingers.

"I didn't expect you to think of this method. First tell Shi Jing to tremble slightly. Miss Shen didn't notice that Shi Jing slipped in her hand to avoid your kick. For you, as long as the opponent has a slight deviation, you can find the point of strength." , easily shake her away."

Xue Luoqian nodded: "If it were you, you wouldn't be able to win this trick."

"You're sure Miss Shen is proud and arrogant," Bei Mingyan said with a broken smile, "It's just that I don't understand, even if you use this broken sword, you won't lose to her, so why bother?"

"She said swords were bad."

"Well, what else?"

"Gone."

"..." Bei Mingyan waved his hand in front of his eyes: "Xue Luoqian... kid, how old are you?"

Xue Luoqian smiled.

"Why are you so naive? Or do you martial arts practitioners think that one more fight is better than one less?"

He walked in front, talking eloquently: "When one is in the Jianghu, it is better to cause less trouble. Today is not too bad. If you want to meet someone who holds grudges, cause more trouble..."

Xue Luoqian looked at him without saying a word.

"In short, today's matter and today's fight, I don't think it is necessary..."

"No."

Bei Mingyan was taken aback for a moment, Xue Luoqian rarely refuted him.

Touching his nose, a little embarrassed: "Ah..."

"This is the sword you gave me."

Bei Mingyan let out another "ah".

"It's a pity that it's broken..."

Bei Mingyan coughed twice: "In the future, there will still be opportunities."

"really?"

"Well," Bei Mingyan was startled when he saw him, and took out the sword tassel from his arms in a panic: "Give it back to you."

Xue Luoqian didn't answer: "Here it is for you," adding in fear that he would not want it: "Just treat it as a gift for the broken sword."

broken sword...

He turned into Beimingyan's courtyard, Beimingyan looked at his back and said in his heart, I owe you more than this.
