Chapter: 351
"Even if we fly to Liangxia County in a few days, our martial arts practice won't be any different from what it is now. The Yu family's business in this city is just trying to attract some family clans with potential; there shouldn't be any benefits over the past dozen years."
The conversation ended like this, and everyone's faces were filled with unspoken worries as they faced Yu's strong presence, unable to do anything about it.
The atmosphere at the banquet gradually cooled down. Li Tonghai looked down at the fine wine and delicious dishes in front of him, being cautious not to pick up his chopsticks, only to have a middle-aged person from the Yu family suddenly appear below him, bowing:
"I've heard that the Li family's master is an exceptional swordsman, and I'm also a practitioner of swordsmanship myself. I would like to learn from you for a while, if I may be so bold."
Li Tonghai let out a low sigh, his spiritual awareness sweeping away, seeing this person with six layers of qi cultivation before him, thinking:
"It's finally here; it seems they've come to see me after all."
The gaze of those on either side suddenly concentrated on Li Tonghai, ever since Qing Shou Jian's moon-gate saber intention defeated Zhi Ju Yun in the mountains, Li Tonghai's family name has spread throughout the lakeside prefecture, with all families eagerly awaiting someone to test the inheritance of Li's family. The Pu family's probing, however, was in line with everyone's expectations, and for a moment, the atmosphere at the banquet hall was heated, even the host of the Fei family looked up.
Li Tonghai was under everyone's scrutiny, smiled lowly, but didn't show any signs of wanting to take the initiative, declined with gratitude:
"I don't know where you heard the rumors, I dare not pretend."
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and an elderly man from the Pu family bit his lip, speaking harshly:
"The one wielding a sword must go all out! Tonghai brother is shrinking back in fear. Is this really the spirit of Li's family?"
Pu Shougui waved his hand to stop him and raised his cup with a smile:
"Please, Tonghai friend, give us some face."
When the conversation reached this point, Li Tonghai had no choice but to stand up, step off to the left side of the boat, and bow with his hands together:
"Li Tonghai from the Li family of Lijiang."
"Mysterious saber of the Pu family's hidden valley."
Yumu Jian's cold voice said one sentence, drew out his saber and rose, the saber's glinting light flashed across, heading towards Li Tonghai's face. Li Tonghai's spiritual awareness was swept away, and he knew that this person's swordsmanship couldn't pose a threat to him, but instead saw the peculiar familiarity in the person's hand-held green saber, and suddenly his eyes were filled with a lingering feeling.
Li Tonghai drew out his saber and blocked it lightly, not counterattacking, just breaking down Yumu Jian's saber light and aura one by one, as Yumu Jian attacked him for nearly ten times, his hand-saber technique having gone through half the process, yet couldn't make Li Tonghai take a step forward, his face suddenly turning difficult to look at.
The people above were all watching with rapt attention, Li Tonghai's feet remained still, originally staying where he was and dissolving Yumu Jian's fierce attack like rain and wind, immediately followed by a burst of applause.
"This Li Tonghai's swordsmanship is too high, this Yumu Jian is far from being on the same level!"
"He isn't worthy to be called a legendary swordsman!"
Yumu Jian's face grew increasingly difficult to look at, his noble smile gradually disappearing, coldly staring and secretly thinking:
"This sword technique is too high, this foundation in swordsmanship is too solid... Li family indeed has inheritance of sword techniques, at least starting from the three-star level!"
"You!"
Yumu Jian fixed a cold gaze on him for one glance, then grasped his saber with his left hand and held it with his right, a layer of white light suddenly flashing across the saber's surface, full of sharpness, before striking towards Li Tonghai's body once more. JrNovels.com
