CHAPTER 571: CHAPTER 0490: YIN YANG DUAL SWORDS

Qian Gu looked at Ye Qingfeng’s back, unable to suppress a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. This boastful youngster, he must find a chance to teach him a lesson.

The group traveled for a few more hours. The sun was too bright and unbearably hot, causing some of the less spiritually cultivated escort masters to struggle.

At this moment, they were passing a small stream. Qian Liuzhi saw the scene and suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

The entire convoy came to a halt, and Qian Liuzhi continued, "Everyone rest here for a moment, and then we’ll set off again!"

Many escort masters were delighted. A few couldn’t resist running straight to the stream, letting the cool water flow over their bodies, feeling icy and comfortable, utterly at ease.

The scenery here was boundless. Tie Zixi felt moved, walked to the west side, and let her delicate feet stretch into the water, gently rippling. Such beauty stunned the escort masters, each gaping at her, unable to tear their eyes away.

When Tie Zixi’s gaze swept over, they finally looked down in shame, a feeling of inadequacy rising in their hearts.

Such a beauty, how could they be worthy of her?

Qian Gu and Fu Feilong got off the carriage, also captivated by the sight of Tie Zixi by the stream, unable to move forward.

Tie Zixi’s beautiful eyes lightly glanced first at Fu Feilong and Qian Gu. Both were considered outstanding among the younger generation, but in her heart, they always seemed a few levels short.

She slightly tilted her head, and a surge of anger rose in her heart.

Ye Qingfeng was lying under a large tree, completely shaded by its canopy, looking up at the sky as if nothing around him mattered.

Tie Zixi couldn’t understand why a handsome young man with no apparent skills would be blind to her appeal.

Tie Wuqing and Qian Liuzhi sat cross-legged, constantly alert, their aura subtly monitoring the surroundings.

In the next moment, their expressions suddenly changed as two whooshing sounds resonated across the sky.

"Bang!"

Two loud explosions shattered the ground a hundred feet away from the convoy, sending soil flying.

Except for Ye Qingfeng, everyone else turned their heads with expressions of astonishment.

As the dust cleared, a broad and a narrow longsword appeared firmly embedded in the ground, half a foot deep.

Qian Liuzhi’s gaze fixed, and he said in a grave voice, "Yin Yang Dual Swords?"

The two longswords on the grass: the broad one was dark red, while the narrow one had a blade like a translucent blue wing under the sunlight.

Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing’s expressions turned serious, and they stood up, looking forward as if facing a formidable enemy.

A man and a woman descended from the sky, landing simultaneously on the sword hilts.

They landed as lightly as a feather, their Qinggong realm having reached the peak of integrating spiritual power with martial arts.

The man, already middle-aged, had a slight scar below his left eye, resembling a terrifying centipede, while the woman was graceful and elegant, with a hint of laziness.

Their auras intertwined seamlessly, harmonizing to the point of being nearly flawless.

"It truly is you two!"

Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing stood shoulder to shoulder. Qian Liuzhi cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what advice the Yin Yang Dual Swords have in coming here?"

The middle-aged man and the beautiful woman looked at Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing, slightly squinting their eyes: "Six-finger Dragon Capturing Hand, Tie’s Double Judges personally escorting, it seems it will be a bit challenging to rob the escort today!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing’s expressions turned somber. The visitors showed no courtesy, clearly stating their intent to rob the escort, indicating that this could not end peacefully.

The beautiful woman gently brushed her hair aside and smiled, "Senior Brother, no matter how difficult, we must rob it!"

Though she appeared soft and delicate, her words were filled with commanding power, surpassing the middle-aged man.

"It seems the two of you intend to entangle with us to the end today?"

Tie Wuqing’s face turned cold. The other party was too arrogant, genuinely angering him.

"Hmph!" The middle-aged man snorted, "Our realms are equal, but with my junior sister and I joining forces, we’re far stronger than you. Before you attempt to fight us, weigh your options carefully!"

The beautiful woman’s smile disappeared as she coldly said, "If you know what’s good for you, leave the Chiyou Sword behind, and we won’t trouble you!"

Tie Zixi had already put on her shoes and climbed ashore, fully prepared, with Fu Feilong and Qian Gu standing on her left and right, also brimming with energy, ready to aid at any moment.

"These two are likely the renowned Yin Yang Dual Swords of Huaxia, the man named Tu Xiao and the woman Hua Qingzi, both taught by the same master and skilled in swordsmanship together," Tie Zixi said solemnly. "It’s said that the Yin Yang Dual Swords are forged from Thousand-Year Cold Iron, Earth Fire Melting Essence, and Emperor Beast Blood, named Lord Sword and Concubine Sword. They’re known as swords of slaughter, extremely murderous, and in their hands, the power is doubled!"

Fu Feilong and Qian Gu were taken aback. The Yin Yang Dual Swords ranked higher than Tie Wuqing and Qian Liuzhi, and their proficiency in coordinated swordsmanship made the outcome of the battle unpredictable.

The three of them knew the situation was extremely dangerous and were fully prepared. Tie Zixi instinctively turned back, wanting to see what Ye Qingfeng was doing, only to find him lounging by the big tree, appearing unconcerned.

"This guy is truly clueless!"

She shook her head internally. With Ye Qingfeng’s nonchalant demeanor, how could he possibly help in a fight? Once the real experts clashed, Ye Qingfeng would likely be terrified and flee.

Tie Wuqing and Qian Liuzhi had already moved into position, shielding the convoy behind them. Given the cultivation level of the Yin Yang Dual Swords, only the two of them could hold them off. Anyone else trying to engage would likely be instantly defeated.

Qian Liuzhi’s palm slightly curved, infusing it with spiritual power. A gray ribbon spiraled around him, faintly forming a dragon shape, while Tie Wuqing had already drawn his Judge’s Pen from his waist, holding one in each hand crosswise.

They knew the Yin Yang Dual Swords had a penchant for the Sword Dao, especially renowned swords, and the allure of the Chiyou Sword was irresistible to them. This battle was inevitable.

Tu Xiao and Hua Qingzi exchanged a glance, then simultaneously leaped back, their toes tapping the base of the sword hilts, causing the two swords to spring into their hands.

An intense Sword Intent instantly swept in all directions. Sword Qi crisscrossed, shredding much of the grass, and even the stream boiled from the countless Sword Qi slashes.

Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing’s expressions were grave. The Yin Yang Dual Swords’ cultivation was extremely strong, and their ranking was high, making them formidable adversaries. However, entrusted with the escort mission, they would not retreat a single step.

As the two got into position, two more wind-breaking sounds came from behind the Yin Yang Dual Swords.

Another man and woman arrived, seemingly younger, just over twenty years old, appearing like a sweet young couple.

As soon as they appeared, they cupped their hands to the Yin Yang Dual Swords and said, "Master, Mistress!"
