C20 Challenge
Normally, if there were no bailiffs, none of them would get up so early. They would be lying in bed, trying to make up for the fatigue caused by the investigation of the past few days, but today, they were all gathered together in the hall, discussing nervously.
No one could see the smile on their faces. They were all worried.
The sounds of discussion suddenly stopped, and a vigorous figure nimbly walked in.
Everyone stood up and bowed, "Constable Yu!"
Yu Caiyao was dressed in a black constable's uniform. She was quite handsome and had a bit of courage on her face. She inherited her father's will and worked hard to take over the constable's position. She was determined not to disgrace her official uniform, and what she was about to do today was a great test for herself.
"You've all worked hard! Sit down! " After she sat down, the others followed suit.
"Constable Yu, are you really going to challenge Piao Yuvzi? I've heard that a lot of people have challenged him over the years, but I've never heard of anyone defeating him. "
"That's right! Furthermore, if we want to capture him, there is no proof. Although he is notorious throughout the world, no one knows what shady business he did. Those rumors cannot be used to convict him. "
Just as everyone was trying to persuade her, Yu Caiyao raised her hand and cut them off.
"Humph!" How could this human demon not have done something bad? That's why no one knows about his evil deeds. After I defeat him, I will arrest him and make him plead guilty obediently, if I am unable to do so … "
The hall was dead silent, except for her voice, "Old Zhang, I told the lord that if anything happens to me, you will take over the constable's position." She waved her hand to interrupt the older constable's pace, "Let's talk about it later. We shouldn't have slept for a few days, so you must be very tired. Go back and rest up before you can do anything. Go back, everyone. I will be careful. Don't worry, everyone!"
Seeing that she had made up her mind, everyone stopped talking and congratulated her on her success. They reluctantly walked out of the hall to give her time to get ready.
She entered her own private room in the yamen, took off her official uniform, and changed into her daughter's uniform to restore her agile and masculine appearance. He took out a black iron sword that was hanging on the wall and pulled it out. The black light was extremely cold and threatening, as if it was a black pearl that had hidden its power and was just taken out of the box. And like this metal sword, she had been bitterly enduring for several years, waiting for this very day's battle.
Returning to her sheath, she pushed open the door and quickly left the yamen.
Turning around to look, outside the door, other than the constables, the yamen runners, the magistrate and the magistrate were all standing there looking at her, but none of them knew what to say. Only the magistrate waved his hand at her and said, "Return early as soon as possible!"
Yu Caiyao nodded and used the light arts to move quickly and gracefully.
In only half a day's time, she had already arrived at a mountain where birds and beasts disappeared 100 miles away. It was a nameless mountain, so no one knew its name. There were people who competed on the top, and there were people who never came down again after they went up, and it was said that they must have fallen into the deep valleys below after they had perished on the top.
"I made an appointment to have a duel with him before the sun set. It's only noon right now, so he probably hasn't come yet. I'll rest here and rest for a bit. I'll go up and wait for him." Thinking of this, she began to slowly breathe with her eyes closed.
After a while, he felt his whole body brimming with energy, and the fatigue from the long journey was all swept away.
She braced herself and ran up the mountain. After a few ups and downs, she finally reached the top of the mountain.
Other than the fresh grass on the ground, there was not a single flower nor was there a tree. There were no insects, bees, butterflies or birds either. She was on her way to the edge of the ravine when she saw a man in a green robe standing in the distance on the flat summit, facing the ravine.
He actually came here first? Did she want to just wait and wait for the opportunity? Yu Caiyao was secretly on guard.
"You're here?" She was about to move away when she heard his words and felt a little frightened. He actually said those words just as she was about to step forward. Could it be that he could feel her intentions from so far away?
However, she still walked over, holding the iron sword in her left belt tightly. Step by step, she steadily walked over, trying her best to not show any flaws.
"Why did you challenge me?" Piao Yuvzi asked slowly.
"Humph!" Anyone could kill a criminal that was full of evil! Don't think that I can't catch you just because you don't have your weakness in my hands. If I can beat you, then you have to honestly answer, otherwise, all eighteen types of torture instruments in the yamen will be given to you to taste! " she snapped.
Usually, in order to ensure success, the yamen would bring a group of constables to battle, but you came alone to meet me. It can be seen that you don't want to capture me, but you want to defeat me.
"Humph!" Who asked you to be Wu Lin's second great devil! Furthermore, you are the Junior Brother of the number one demon of Wu Lin! It was at that time that I swore that I would use my father's sword technique and the sword that my father left for me to avenge my death! "
"Then why don't you go and find that number one martial arts devil? Wouldn't defeating him be better for you?"
"Humph!" If it wasn't for the fact that I don't want to waste my time looking for him, I wouldn't have come looking for a scum like you! "
At this moment, Piao Yuvzi finally turned around to face her. He looked at her and suddenly said: "Are you left-handed?"
"You're the left-handed one!" Yu Caiyao said angrily. As expected, the side did not speak any proper words.
"Then your father used the sword in his left hand?"
"How do you know?" Could it be that he was helping out on the side at that time? Was he one of the accomplices?
Piao Yuvzi turned his gaze towards the sun, which was already tilted slightly, "Your sword art is the same as your father's. If you're not left-handed, then you must be your father. Otherwise, why would you put your sword on the left side?"
"Hmm?" She looked down and could not help but marvel at the fineness of his eyes.
Piao Yuvzi shook his head and muttered, "No wonder, no wonder."
Yu Caiyao thought he was saying that it was precisely because her father was left-handed that he couldn't defeat the number one demon in Wu Lin. In an instant, she was unable to contain her anger as she shouted, "Cut the crap, take this attack!"
"Clang!" The iron sword was slowly pulled out, the scabbard was thrown to the ground, and with a light leap, she thrust the sword towards his back.
Piao Yuvzi took a step forward and thrusted the iron sword towards Piao Yuvzi's chest.
"Hmm? Since his martial arts are so poor, I will immediately finish him off. Let's see if he can still act so arrogantly! " She used all her strength to pierce her arm.
She was very confident in her sword technique. Normally, whenever her opponent encountered such a simple technique, he would use all his strength to resist it. Even if he was careless, he would still receive a heavy blow.
This sword was about to land on his chest, but just as she was about to stab him, she unexpectedly missed!
Piao Yuvzi only took a light step back to dodge it. He only gently dodged it when he could no longer change the direction of the sword.
When the sword missed, the strength in Yu Caiyao's left hand also stopped. Her body fell down with the sword.
She struck out with her second sword attack, and the steel sword followed with a sweeping to the left.
Piao Yuvzi followed the trajectory of the sword and dodged to the right.
The third strike was to retreat quickly and stab with the back of his hand.
He had almost been hit with a sword with every strike, and had just happened to dodge it.
Yu Caiyao had missed three times in a row, and her momentum had been slightly reduced. She circulated her Qi and continued her attacks.
However, her following attacks did not have any substantial effect and did not even hit his body.
"Ya!" Yu Caiyao jumped up and slashed down with her sword. The sword qi enveloped his entire body. She thought that the sword would continue chopping down on his head. However, Piao Yuvzi took a step back and leaped up. The slash landed heavily in the air.
Yu Caiyao, who was about to fall, stopped in midair and stabbed forward with her sword. When she reached the end of the stab, Piao Yuvzi was nowhere to be seen. At the same time, her wrist received a powerful kick, and her left armpit was slapped as well.
"Ah!" However, she saw Piao Yuvzi's head upside down in the air. His right foot reached up and stuck to the back of the sword, then he turned around and stood in the air. His right foot kicked forward and the sword flew towards her obliquely.
Yu Caiyao concentrated her strength in her left hand in preparation to strike it down, but the sword suddenly flipped in the air and turned into a sword hilt, flying straight forward. She caught it in the right direction, but she didn't expect the seemingly powerful sword to be so light in her hand when she held it in her hand as if it were a rotten log. By the time she stood up, Piao Yuvzi had already turned around with his back to her.
"No wonder you can't beat me." Piao Yuvzi replied lazily.
"You!" Yu Caiyao was so angry that she couldn't speak. So this was what he had said just now. This great devil was too crazy!
"You aren't a left-handed person, yet you learn to use the sword in your left hand. You are clearly not good at clumsy moves, yet you use such a heavy metal sword to fight with others. It's no wonder that with all your effort, you are still only at this level. "
Piao Yuvzi ignored her reaction and slowly walked away.
However, you have to be careful, those who did not defeat me in the past will not be convinced, and from now on, many people might come to challenge you, but you have to be wary of them adding conditions to the competition, when that time comes, your family's threshold will really be broken by the suitor, alas! I'll congratulate you first, but remember, when the time comes, you have to thank me, this matchmaker. Don't forget, no matter what! "
"You've gone too far!" Yu Caiyao chased with all her might, waving her sword with all her might. Although she had practiced using the sword in her left hand for more than ten years, she was still able to wield it with her right hand more smoothly.
He was about to catch up to him with two more ups and downs. Suddenly, his right wrist felt a sharp pain.
"Ah!" Her right hand loosened and the iron sword flew back into the air, slanting into the ground.
"Hidden weapons?!" She quickly stretched out her left arm and pulled out an arrow from her sleeve, ready to fire.
However, he didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to use his hidden weapon, so he stopped and looked down, only to find a broken blade of grass floating on the ground.
She picked up the broken leaf and used her constable's eyes to carefully inspect the surroundings. Finally, she discovered a blade of grass that had just been broken in half, and compared notes, the cut matched perfectly, that was to say, he must have stepped on it, because only the dueling men would come up here, and it had been a long time since she had heard of anyone coming to compete here. She had been there all along, and if she stepped on it, she would not be here.
She suddenly remembered that Piao Yuvzi's right foot seemed to have stomped a little bit hard just now, but it wasn't that obvious. She only felt that the stomp was a little bit too heavy when it landed, which meant that he broke the grass with his stomp and then used his inner force to force the broken leaf to shoot towards her wrist. But when she brandished her sword and rushed over, even if her throwing knives were blocked by the sword qi, they would still be swept away. This tiny piece of broken leaf could actually break through the sword qi and hit her wrist?
She looked at the dripping blood on her right hand and shouted at the sky: "Piao Yuvzi! One day, I will make you die by my hands! I will make you pay the price! " However, Piao Yuvzi had left a long time ago, so he couldn't hear him anymore.
