Chapter 2 The heroine spares her life

Chapter 2 The heroine spares her life
moonlit night.

Nansong Forest at the foot of Hengshan Mountain.

"Put down the knife."

"Kick the knife away."

"Further away!"

With the sword at his neck, Zhang Yu had no choice but to kick the iron knife two or three feet away.

The sword tip spun, and the man moved in front of him.

Under the moonlight, Zhang Yu saw that the girl had a pretty face, a slim figure, and a pair of clear black and white eyes that were extremely spiritual. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had a stunning appearance.

"I caught a remnant of the evil sect with my own hands. I'll go back and see what Daddy says."

Zhang Yu glanced at the green sword still on his shoulder. The chill penetrated through his cloth and penetrated his skin. However, the swordsman seemed to be a rookie, so he had some plans in mind.

"Lady, you...you misunderstood."

"Misunderstand?"

Zhang Yu said with a sad face, "I am a farmer, not a konjac seller. If you want to eat konjac, you should go to the town at the foot of the mountain to find Wang the peddler. His konjac tofu is smooth and refreshing, and is the best."

The girl laughed and said, "Humph, you still want to deceive me! Aren't the clothes you are wearing the clothes of the Demonic Cult Yunshui Hall?"

"The people in the mountains are incredibly poor, and it's common for them to pick up clothes from the dead to wear. I heard there was a war on Hengshan Mountain, so I came here to try my luck. I saw a lot of dead bodies, and I really shouldn't have been greedy for money."

"And the knife?"

"I brought the knife down the mountain to exchange for money. I have an 80-year-old mother at home who I need to buy rice to support."

The girl looked at Zhang Yu and saw that he was tall and graceful. Although he was dressed in the disgusting demon cult style, he had a pair of phoenix eyes and crescent-shaped eyebrows. If it weren't for his dark skin, he would be three times more handsome than the actresses on the stage.

Their eyes met, and she looked away in panic.

"You...you are only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can you have an eighty-year-old mother? It's obviously nonsense."

"My mother was born in her old age, and she has treated me like a treasure since I was a child." Zhang Yu thought to himself. This girl looked like a rookie, but she was quite thoughtful. He quickly covered up and said, "The heroine also has a father and a mother. If you go out and ask someone to kill you, they will be waiting for you at home. How sad they will be if they see you don't come back."

"What you said...does make some sense."

Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and tried to find a way to escape.

The girl smiled and said, "However, if I want you to completely believe me, you have to raise your right fist and shout towards the moon three times, 'Dongfang Bubai is the most shameless person in the world'"

Zhang Yu smiled flatteringly and said, "Don't say three times, three hundred times will do. I just don't know who Dongfang Bubai is? How did he offend the heroine? How is he shameless?"

The girl thrust her sword forward: "You are so long-winded! Are you going to shout or not?"

"I yell!"

Zhang Yu raised his right fist and spoke loudly towards the full moon in the sky.

"Dongfang Bubai is the most shameless person in the world!"

"Dongfang Bubai is the most shameless person in the world!"

"Dongfang Bubai is the most shameless person in the world!"

Two crows flew up from the woods.

Zhang Yu turned around and saw the girl with a mischievous smile on her face. He thought to himself that this was not good. Did he reveal a flaw somewhere?
"Hahaha, you're such a cunning thief, you have such a clever tongue. I can't bear to take you to the mountain temple to see your father."

Zhang Yu asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The girl sneered: "All the demon cultists have the black scorpion mark on their right arms. Do you think I didn't see it? Could it be that the black scorpion on your right arm was also stabbed by some peddler? What else do you have to quibble about?"

Zhang Yu sighed: "Now that things have come to this, what else can I say?"

The moonlight was like frost, covering the forest path.

The girl held the sword in one hand and the rope in the other.

The man's hands were tied behind his back.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Go to the mountain temple to see my father. Whether you are killed or cut, it all depends on your luck."

"Who is your father?"

"Listen carefully, my father is the head of Huashan Yue, known as the 'Gentleman Sword' in the martial arts world!"

Zhang Yu was surprised and asked, "Yue Buqun?"

He secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that it must be God's will. He hid himself in every possible way, but still fell into the hands of his daughter Yue Lingshan.

"How dare you! My father is a top-notch hero in the martial arts world, and you dare to call him by his name."

As Yue Lingshan spoke, she threw the scabbard at him.

Zhang Yu felt pain in his shoulder and was filled with hatred.

If I fall into the hands of that hypocrite Yue Buqun, what good will it end like? Expecting mercy from the enemy is cruel to yourself. I must not go to the mountain temple, I must think of a way to escape immediately.

"Miss Yue, you misunderstood. How dare I disrespect your father?"

"Mr. Jianyue, the gentleman, is very famous in the martial arts world. Even our Eastern Sect Leader has to show respect to him."

"He often warned his followers that when traveling in the martial arts world, it's okay to meet other people, but when meeting Mr. Yue from the Huashan Sect, they must stay away from him."

Yue Lingshan deliberately asked: "Why did Dongfang Bubai say that?"

“The Eastern Sect Leader said that Mr. Yue’s Zixia magic skill is so profound that he can cut off the Yangtze River with one palm. He also has the Huashan swordsmanship, which is exquisite. Even if the ten elders of our sect join forces, they will be defeated.” Yue Lingshan was pleased. Although Dongfang Bubai was a member of the Demon Sect, he was the undisputed number one master in the martial arts world today. It was a happy thing to get his affirmation in martial arts, even if they belonged to different camps.

"This hero Yue..."

Zhang Yu suppressed his nausea and boasted about Yue Buqun. He secretly glanced at Yue Lingshan and saw her happy expression, which meant he had figured out the trick.

Young boys and girls of this age are blindly worshipping their fathers, and Yue Buqun is indeed a hero with a very good reputation in the world.

Yue Lingshan could hardly hide the smile on her face: "What else do you know? Tell me one by one."

Zhang Yu added: "I also heard that Mr. Yue is not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also has excellent character. People in the martial arts world say that Mr. Yue is kind and that Miss Ning is simple and frugal. She wears patched pants all year round, but she still helps the poor."

Yue Lingshan chuckled and said, "This... this may be a bit exaggerated, but my parents are kind and benevolent."

Zhang Yu became anxious, as he was about to leave the pine forest and wondered how far he was from the mountain temple.

If he fell into Yue Buqun's hands, or ran into other disciples of the Huashan Sect on the way, there would be no hope for him to escape.

Zhang Yu looked towards the dense forest on the side of the road, suddenly stopped, his expression became painful, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Yue Lingshan asked: "What's wrong with you?"

"I have a stomachache and I'm afraid I need to go to the bathroom."

"No."

"Then I'll just have to poop in my pants."

"Don't!"

Yue Lingshan stared at his face and saw that he was not pretending, so she asked tentatively, "You are not trying to take this opportunity to escape, are you?"

Zhang Yu lowered his head as if resigned to his fate: "With Lady Yue's martial arts, where can I escape to?"

Yue Lingshan chuckled: "I don't think you have the ability to do that."

The sword was unsheathed and cut the rope on his hands.

"Don't go too far. Let me see you. You hold the rope, and I hold this end. When I pull, if there is no response from the other side, I will immediately draw my sword and rush in, piercing you through the heart."

As the earliest disciple of Huashan Sect, Yue Lingshan received family education since childhood and learned a lot about martial arts from her parents and fellow disciples, but she had little personal experience and was still lacking in experience.

"Thank you, Miss Yue."

Zhang Yu deliberately took two steps and then became impatient to undress.

"Go a few steps further."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu walked into the woods and, as she said, stood where he could be vaguely seen.

Yue Lingshan held the sword and turned around. She looked at the moon in the sky, which was as beautiful as a white jade plate, and there were some black flocs in the plate. They should be the laurel, the moon palace, and the fairy Chang'e who secretly took the elixir and left her lover.

"I don't know where Big Brother has gone to drink this time. Daddy is so angry. I'll catch this little thief and please Daddy. I hope he will punish him less severely. I just beat Big Brother's butt last month and it hasn't healed yet."

"But even though this little thief is from the Demon Sect, he doesn't look like a vicious person. Maybe he just went astray. You can ask Daddy to spare his life."

Yue Lingshan looked back from time to time, and the blue was always there. But there was no movement in the woods for a long time, so she pulled the rope quickly, but it didn't move at all.

"Oh no! The little thief has escaped, and our eldest brother is going to have to suffer a setback again!"

Holding the sword, she rushed into the dense forest along the rope, but saw the blue clothes hanging on the treetops, and the person was probably running far away.

"What a cunning little thief."

Yue Lingshan put down her sword dejectedly.

In the darkness, a stone flew and hit the girl on the shoulder. She was caught off guard and her sword slipped out of her hand.

In an instant, something sharp came closer.

"What are you pressing against my lower back?"

"Iron Spear! Don't move. If you move you will feel cold all over." Zhang Yu smiled and said back to her.

She raised her head and said, "Go ahead and kill her. The one who is afraid of death is not Huashan Heroine Yue Lingshan."

"Okay, when you die, I will strip you naked, write 'Huashan Sect Female Hero Yue Lingshan' on your clothes, and throw you on the street so that everyone from the Five Mountains Sword Sects can take a closer look at the elegance of the Huashan Female Hero."

Yue Lingshan's eyes were filled with mist, and she said bitterly: "You are indeed a cultist. I was planning to ask my father to spare your life. You are so cruel!"

Zhang Yu smiled proudly and said, "I am just giving him back what he has given me."

He tied the girl's hands behind her back with a rope, threw away the branch, picked up the fallen sword, and took a look at it. It was called "Bi Shui" and it shone with a cold light. It was two levels better than his common iron sword.

Yue Lingshan was only fifteen or sixteen years old after all, and she was a little scared: "Little thief, will you let me go?"

"If I let you go, what will you do if you find someone?"

"I won't, I swear."

"Didn't Mr. Yue tell you that when you're in the martial arts world, swearing is the same as farting?"

"That's your demon sect. My father is a righteous hero who keeps his promises. How could he say such a thing?"

"That's right. You righteous people can't say it, but you can do it."

Under the moonlight, Zhang Yu held the sword in one hand and the rope in the other.

The offensive and defensive momentum is easy.
