Chapter 18: The Invincible Divine Blade, Bai Tianyu
Upon seeing this, even the icy beauty Ding Baiyun's eyes flickered slightly.
She had already figured out what kind of person Xue Bufeng was.
Such a knife; such a fierce and aloof aura, how could anyone be allowed to approach and touch it casually?
Xue Bufeng remained completely still, showing no displeasure whatsoever. In fact, the immense killing intent emanating from him blended seamlessly with Li Xunhuan's profound and composed demeanor.
Clearly, the tacit understanding and cooperation between these two is truly remarkable.
Perhaps they never cooperated or joined forces.
After all, there are very few situations in the world where the two of them can join forces.
But now, the two of them have decided to join forces.
Once this decision was made, the aura emanating from them subtly merged into one, as if they were one person.
This is the unspoken understanding and teamwork of top-level players.
Once the two join forces, the threat they pose to the enemy is far more than just the sum of its parts.
After patting Xue Bufu on the shoulder, Li Xunhuan turned to the solemn-faced crowd, still with that gentle, smiling expression, as if he were telling an amusing story:
"You are so wary of Bai Tianyu, the invincible Divine Blade, but do you know what nickname my friend Xue Bufu has outside the Great Wall?"
Xue Bufu?
So his name was Xue Bufu?
Only at this moment did everyone present learn Xue Bufu's name.
However, Xue Bufu had lived outside the Great Wall for a long time, and because he came from a demonic sect, few people in the Central Plains knew about him.
As for nicknames?
Everyone was taken aback, and even Ding Baiyun couldn't help but cast a curious glance at Xue Bufu.
What is the name of this wicked young man in the area beyond the Great Wall?
Li Xunhuan spoke clearly and slowly, word by word:
"My friend's nickname is Invincible Demon Blade."
The Invincible Demon Blade?!
The four words fell like a silent hammer blow to everyone's heart.
Undefeated!
Is there anyone in this world who dares to use "Invincible" as their title?
Suddenly, everyone realized how similar it was to the "Invincible Divine Blade"!
One boasts of being invincible in the world, while the other claims to be undefeated among men!
Gongsun Duan was the first to react. His thick eyebrows shot up, and he laughed in anger, letting out a strange "ha" sound.
"Invincible? What arrogance! I'll test if your broken sword is truly invincible! You surnamed Xue, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one!"
Before he finished speaking, his large, fan-like hand suddenly gripped the hilt of the strangely shaped curved sword with a silver sheath and black handle at his waist, and with a clang, the sword was drawn!
The blade gleamed with a cold, bluish-green light, exuding a murderous aura!
He took a step forward, causing the ground to tremble slightly. His leopard eyes locked onto Xue Bufu, ready to make his move!
In any case, the grudge against Wanmatang must be avenged, and this madman's true nature must be tested by him!
This time, Ma Kongqun did not stop him.
Hua Mantian and Yun Zaiqi secretly gathered their thoughts, while others such as Old Master Liu and Young Master Sun also held their breath and stared intently at Xue Bufu.
Outside the hall, the subtle scraping sounds of countless swords being drawn could be heard incessantly.
The atmosphere was tense to the limit again, on the verge of exploding!
But what no one expected was that, just as Gongsun Duan's momentum reached its peak and his curved blade was about to strike—
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Wanmatang is quite lively today! It seems I've arrived at the perfect time."
A burst of extremely bold and unrestrained laughter, like rolling thunder, suddenly came from outside the Wanma Hall!
Before the laughter had even subsided, almost instantly, several muffled thuds were heard, accompanied by short screams. Several elite disciples of the Wanma Hall who were guarding outside the hall were thrown in like rag dolls, rolling on the ground and groaning incessantly.
Immediately afterwards, a figure strode confidently into the palace gate.
who is it? !
Everyone was shocked and angry, and they all turned to look.
This man was only in his early twenties, tall and straight as a pine tree, with long arms and a slender waist, and every inch of his body was full of strength.
He wasn't particularly handsome, but he had a masculine and resolute appearance, with sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples and a high nose bridge.
His eyes, in particular, shone brightly when they opened and closed, and when he looked around, they were filled with heroic spirit, and carried an aura of domineering arrogance that looked down on all things and regarded all living beings as ants.
He was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with a cloak over it, which added to his flamboyant and unruly demeanor.
The most striking thing was the knife slung across his waist!
The scabbard and hilt are both a deep, dark black, without any decoration, yet they exude a sharpness that can cut through everything!
The moment he entered, he single-handedly captured the attention of the entire Wanma Hall!
Simply because everyone present in the border town recognized him!
Everyone knows that he is none other than Bai Tianyu, the invincible divine blade!
Even Gongsun Duan, who was about to make a move and was filled with murderous intent, was intimidated by the sudden intruder and his soaring heroic spirit. He paused in his movements and looked on in horror.
The next moment, everyone in the room was shocked!
Anger, shame, fear, scheming...
A variety of complex emotions flashed across everyone's faces.
Bai Tianyu?!
He dared to be so arrogant, going alone straight to the headquarters of Wanmatang!
But then I thought about it again.
Even the relatively unknown Xue Bufeng dared to come and completely disregard Wanmatang, so what wouldn't Bai Tianyu dare to do?
Moreover, Bai Yu doesn't come early or late at night, but comes at this exact time. Could it be that he's in cahoots with Xue Bufu?
The only ones whose expressions remained unchanged were Xue Bufu, Li Xunhuan, and Ding Baiyun.
Bai Tianyu's tiger-like eyes swept across the astonished faces in the room as if no one else was there, his gaze as sharp as a tangible blade.
Wherever he went, no one dared to look him in the eye for long.
Finally, his gaze fell unmistakably on the young swordsman beside the long table, who was equally tall but had a completely different air about him.
It fell on Xue Bufu!
Xue Bufeng remained seated, but he raised his eyes to meet Xue Bufeng's gaze.
The moment their eyes met, the domineering arrogance in Bai Tianyu's eyes and the charming nonchalance in Xue Bufeng's eyes seemed to transform into two invisible blades that collided with a "clang," and even the air seemed to be filled with invisible sparks!
Then, Bai Tianyu's gaze truly swept over the Blood Moon Demon Blade at Xue Bufu's waist.
The scabbard was blood-red, as was the hilt, its curves almost eerily perfect. The scabbard was made of neither gold nor iron, but seemed to be forged from the legendary Crimson Blood Cold Iron of the Western Regions. Its luster was restrained, yet it exuded a chillingly sharp and sinister aura.
Nice knife!
Bai Tianyu had to admit that this was indeed a fine knife he had never seen before!
Xue Bufeng's gaze also fell on the black knife at Bai Tianyu's waist.
The scabbard was jet black, as was the hilt. The sword was of a typical Central Plains design, simple and heavy, seemingly able to absorb all light, with only the slightly exposed guard gleaming with a dark, somber light.
But within this simplicity lies a pure and ultimate intent to slay!
Good swordsman!
Xue Bufeng could not deny that Bai Tianyu's blade was not as good as his, but Bai Tianyu himself was far more terrifying than the black blade.
But Xue Bufu was not alarmed.
Although his sword was better than Bai Tianyu's, it didn't necessarily mean that his swordsmanship was inferior to Bai Tianyu's.
Neither of them spoke first, but an invisible, chilling aura, which only the most outstanding swordsmen of the time could sense, was already silently colliding and surging in the center of the hall!
The enormous Wanma Hall and the dozens or even hundreds of enemies were nothing to the two of them; they didn't even glance at them.
