Lu Jing returned to the blacksmith shop and saw Xia Huai confronting a woman with phoenix hairpin and cicada temples.
The girl looked a little nervous. One hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and she looked like she might draw the sword at any time. On the other hand, the woman just stood in front of the door with her hands behind her hands, looking calm and composed.
"Lu Jing, she said that she is the supervisor of Si Tianjian and was ordered by Shaojian Guo to take away the knife." Xia Huai saw Lu Jing returning from the corner of his eye and said.
"It's okay, give her the knife and Zhi Hai. She is indeed from Si Tianjian. I just met Young Inspector Guo. Our errand this time is already half done." Lu Jing said.
The girl nodded when she heard this, took a few steps back, and gave way to the iron box behind her.
But the woman did not take over the iron box immediately. Instead, she still looked at Xia Huai. After a moment, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you Wuxiang Sword Xiao Mengrou's apprentice?"
"Yes, my tutor is Xiao Mengrou." The girl's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Didn't you just want to draw your sword against me? Why didn't you do it again?" the woman said, "Does Xiao Mengrou's apprentice only have this much courage?"
Xia Huai originally removed his palm from the long sword, but after hearing her words, he couldn't help but hold the hilt of the sword again.
"Senior, I couldn't tell the truth about your identity before, so I offended you. If senior is angry with me, I have nothing to say, but please don't involve my master in the matter between you and me."
There was a playful look on the woman's face, "No, you're saying the opposite. I'm not angry at your master because of you, but because of your master. That bitch Xiao Mengrou never mentioned me to you. That's right... She went behind my back to steal my man. Of course it's not easy to tell her apprentice such a shameless thing."
"Senior, please be careful what you say!" Xia Huai said angrily.
"Otherwise, what can you do to me?" The woman's face darkened and she said coldly.
Before she finished speaking, the long sword in the girl's hand had been unsheathed, and she said in a deep voice, "Junior Xia Huai, dare to ask senior for advice!"
"Okay, let me see what that bitch taught you." The woman said happily, without taking out the soft whip from her waist, and just casually broke off a branch from the old tree next to her to make a weapon.
The nonchalant look on the other side did not anger Xia Huai, but made the girl calm down completely.
She took a deep breath and stabbed the woman's left arm with the long sword in her hand.
When thrusting out, the sword's blade remained straight, but the sword's head trembled slightly, making it difficult to tell where it landed.
This move is from Wuxiang Sword's "Sitting and Watching the Clouds Qi". Although it is intended to attack the enemy, it uses offense instead of defense, three points for offense and seven points for defense.
Xia Huai waved his hand in this way, firstly to show respect. Although the woman had spoken rudely, she was a junior and a challenger after all, and her courtesy could not be lost. Secondly, the woman behaved so arrogantly, and she was Si Tianjian. The supervisor obviously has real skills under his command.
To be cautious, Xia Huai did not attack as soon as he came up, choosing this move as a test.
But what she didn't expect was that the woman just sneered, and then waved the branch in her hand, breaking her gaze.
Xia Huai was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly changed to the ninth form of Wuwang Wuxiang, which was the most defensive sword among the Wuxiang swords. However, the result was still easily broken by the woman with a tree branch.
Sweat began to form on the girl's forehead. Since she couldn't hold on, she simply gave up blocking the enemy and started to attack violently. However, this time she only used half of her sword moves before she was stopped by the branch. .
Xia Huai's heart was greatly shaken, and he stood there in despair.
She wasn't sad because she couldn't beat the woman. After all, her internal strength was only second-rate, but the woman opposite was obviously a first-rate master like her master Xiao Mengrou.
It was normal to be defeated. What she couldn't accept was that she was defeated so simply. She had practiced swordsmanship for so many years, but she couldn't even catch a move from the opponent.
Seeing her stop, the woman laughed again, "What, do you want to admit defeat? That's right, let alone you, even your master will only be beaten until he kneels down and begs for mercy when he sees me."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Xia Huai suddenly thrust out his sword and stabbed again!
"Come again? It's useless. No matter how many times you come again... Huh?"
When the woman faced the girl's stabbing sword this time, the branch in her hand froze in mid-air. Although she finally blocked the sword, she obviously no longer had the calmness as before, but was in a hurry.
Seeing that this sword was almost successful, Xia Huai's energy and spirit returned a lot, and without saying a word, he swung another sword.
The woman hesitated for a while, then swung the branch, but relied on her strong internal strength to directly knock the girl's sword away.
Xia Huai was neither angry nor happy. One sword was faster than the other. The woman was obviously better in martial arts than her. However, because of her previous support, she only chose a branch as a weapon. Now she felt the pain, tied up her hands and fought. Suddenly he fell behind.
In a rage, she simply threw away the branch.
Then he put his hands together and clamped the girl's long sword. Xia Huai felt a strong internal force coming from the other end of the sword and had to loosen his grip on the sword.
But the woman remained unyielding and shook Xia Huai's sword into three pieces, then glared at the girl again.
"What kind of swordsmanship did you just use!"
Xia Huai did not answer her question, but said, "It seems that the senior really hates the master, and he has even studied how to break the master's sword skills."
To be honest, the girl was really shocked at first because all her sword moves were defeated, and she even had doubts about her martial arts talent.
But then she thought of a possibility, and after replacing the Wuxiang Sword with the Thirteen Tianmen Swords she had just obtained in the ruined temple, she regained the initiative.
And now that she thought about it carefully, the woman's so-called breaking move before did not really break Wuxiang Sword completely. It was more that she relied on her familiarity with Wuxiang Sword Technique to predict her move in advance. And the back move.
But if her master Xiao Mengrou were here and used the same trick, it might not be that easy for the woman to break through.
As a result, Xia Huai's mood completely calmed down.
On the other hand, when the woman saw that Xia Huai saw through her thoughts, she stopped talking and snorted coldly. She went to the back to lift Zhihai and used the Object Controlling Technique to make the iron box float in mid-air.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw a figure blocking her, "Senior...did you forget something?"
"What's going on?" The woman narrowed her eyes.
Lu Jing pointed to the broken sword on the ground, "It seems a bit inappropriate to break other people's things and then walk away like that."
