Chapter 44: Ji Lianchun's Heavy Sword

  Su Family Compound

  Su Dong returned home after more than a month, which naturally delighted Su Qi Nian and Su Ning. The silly kid Su Ning thought something had happened to Su Dong and cried several times, while Su Qi Nian also secretly shed tears.

  Su Dong couldn't help but comfort his father and brother, while Su Qiyan said with a pained expression: "If you don't want to get married too early, just tell Father, no need to run away without a word!"

  Su Dong was taken aback, it turned out that Su Qi thought he had left because of this. Thinking about it, there's nothing wrong with it. He himself was ambushed and followed a temperamental old spirit beast to White Head Mountain, which wasn't something he could tell his father or brothers about either.

  Recently, Su Qi Nian also found something was wrong, because more and more people came to the Su's house to propose marriage. At first, Su Qi Nian was very proud, but later gradually became annoyed and simply ignored those matchmakers.

  Su Qi Nian still didn't allow Su Dong to cut down those two peach blossoms, Su Dong didn't say anything, as long as Father didn't mess with the mandarin ducks' score it was fine. Peach blossoms were indeed fierce, but not provoking them wasn't a problem, they were just more annoying than anything else.

  Su Qiannian ordered a table of good dishes, and the three of them sat together to have a big meal. In Bai Tou Shan, they always ate roasted reindeer meat, and Su Dong's head was almost growing two pairs of antlers.

  After lunch, Su Dong arrived at Bai Xiaoya's home.

  The two little foxes were worried about Su Dong's safety, and as soon as they met, they hugged each other and cried bitterly. Su Dong said, "I'm not dead, why are you crying? Sit down, I have something to ask you."

  Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing sat down obediently, Su Dong thought for a moment and asked: "How did you escape from White Head Mountain? Did you see the snow demons with your own eyes?"

  Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing both looked stunned, their heads hung low in distress. Bai Qing said: "I and the young lady have been hiding in a rock crevice all along, enduring hunger, waiting for the Snow Demon to leave before daring to come out quietly. So we only heard the voices and saw the shadow of the Snow Demon, but didn't really see those blue-eyed devils."

  Su Dongdao said: "Can you tell from the silhouette that the Snow Demon is riding a double-headed wolf?"

  Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing both shook their heads, which was normal. They were both young and had forgotten most of what happened after being frightened.

  Su Dong slightly furrowed his brow. According to the analysis, it was not Snow Demon who slaughtered Bai Tou Shan, but some other evil thugs from unknown origins. Now that Bai Xiao Ya and Bai Qing, the two people involved in the case, were unable to identify their enemies, they had lost their last lead.

  "What's the point of asking these?" Bai Xiaoya asked in a low voice.

  Su Dong smiled and said, "I've heard many interesting things outside, such as the ice-enclosed island in the North Sea, the Snow Demon's mount having two heads, your Fox Tribe's goddess Ziya being reborn, and so on. I'm interested in the double-headed wolf, just asking casually."

  Su Dong said calmly, but he didn't notice that when he mentioned Zi Ya, Bai Qing suddenly froze for a moment, while Bai Xiao Ya didn't show any abnormality.

  "It's settled then. If nothing unexpected happens, you can set off at the end of August when the weather has just started to cool down a bit. After all, it's a long way to the south. By the way, where exactly is your destination? I'll also let Zhou Xing know so he can arrange the itinerary early." Su Dong said as he stood up.

  "The solitary mountain by the edge of the Qin Sea is the territory of the Golden Spirit Clan. I and Miss are preparing to seek refuge with the Golden Fox Clan." said Bai Qing.

  Su Dong slightly furrowed his brow, muttering to himself: "If I remember correctly, that place is close to the Wall of Gods. Taking a boat across the Qin Sea would lead us into the Desert Continent, which isn't exactly a great place."

  Bai Qing nodded and said: "We also have no way out. The Fox tribe in the North is too close to the Extreme Northern Wilderness, we are afraid..."

  Su Dongjie said, "After all, the Ice Age is approaching, you're afraid of being attacked by the Snow Demon again, so you want to head south as much as possible. Although Gu Shan's geographical location is poor, it's close to Qin Hai, and if all else fails, you can take a boat to the Desert Continent."

  "Yes, we think so too, Miss's safety is the most important." Bai Qing said.

  Su Dong didn't say anything. Although Bai Xiaoya's physical condition had improved a lot compared to the past, Su Dong wasn't sure if she could withstand the high temperatures of the south. They had traveled so far, and it was actually quite risky.

  ……

  Su Dong was going to duel with Qi Lian Chun, a seven-star warrior from the City Lord's Mansion, and this matter quickly spread throughout Hanxing City.

  Although ordinary people had no chance of witnessing a duel between warriors, they still talked about it with relish.

  The next morning, Su Dong arrived at the city defense department's training ground. After all, Su Dong was a member of the Tianxing Martial Arts Academy, and Ji Lianchun was a subordinate of City Master Tong Yufeng. The two of them couldn't just find any old place to settle their dispute; they needed people from both sides to witness it.

  Contrary to Su Dong's expectations, last night Su Qi Nian found out that Su Dong was going to duel with someone else and didn't say anything, just sighed in the courtyard, but silly Su Ning was frightened, as soon as he heard that Ji Lian Chun was a seventh-level Ling warrior, he was worried about his brother.

  It's not clear why, but this time when Su Dong returned home, he found that Su Qiyan had changed a lot from the past. Not only did she no longer stop him from practicing martial arts, but she also didn't care about his duels with others. This was something that would have been impossible in the past, and it was already good that she wasn't nagging him to death.

  Su Dong thought Su Qi Nian was a broken jar that couldn't be fixed, and since he wouldn't listen to him anyway, he simply stopped caring about Su Dong's affairs.

  From a distance, Zhou Xing could be seen walking over with a sullen face. He said directly: "I know you're a stubborn guy and no one can stop you, so I spent the whole night investigating Ji Lianchun's background. Let's go find a quiet place, I'll tell you about it."

  Su Dongdao said: "Alright, but I want to take a look at the situation in the school first. Let's walk and talk at the same time."

  It's clear that Zhou Xing is really worried about Su Dong again, and he teaches Su Dong the martial skills that Ji Lianchun has learned, even including Ji Lianchun's weapons.

  Su Dong smiled and said: "These are what Yang Taosi told you, right? Ji Lianchun used to be in the Tianxing Wuguan, so Yang Taosi knows this guy very well."

  Zhou Xing furrowed his brow and said, "You want to call Yang Lao, but the truth is that Master isn't indifferent to you, it's just that your temper is really too awful. If we don't restrain you now, in the future you'll stir up a big mess."

  Su Dong didn't say anything, his attention was focused on the site, to be prepared for any situation, Su Dong decided to set up the formation first. Now that he had his own first major magical artifact, his confidence doubled!

  The Qimen Feng Shui Bureau is called borrowing power, borrowing the vitality of the earth with Feng Shui, and the Feng Shui array is called control, controlling the direction and change of Feng Shui. Now, Su Dong can use the strongest formation method in Qimen!

  The Qimen formation method can not only complete control, but also trigger strange and mysterious killings! Directly killing people in the formation!

  Before, Su Dong's arrays were confusing and disorienting at best. But with the Great Law Artifact, Su Dong can directly use the energy produced by his arrays to strike the enemy's brain and body, causing physical damage!

  Of course, Su Dong did not plan to use the formation unless absolutely necessary. After all, it was a physical attack. If an autopsy were to be performed afterwards and they found that the enemy's heart had been torn open, who knows what kind of evil magic these guys would think Su Dong used.

  Two pieces of jade were buried by Su Dong on the side of the school field, and the Dharma instrument was under the shadow of the diagonal line. A basic Qimen Dunjia triangular formation was announced to be completed. Su Dong did it very secretly, letting the Dharma instrument quietly slide out from his sleeve mouth, and then lightly stepped on it with his foot, burying the Dharma instrument in the mud.

  ……

  The castle owner Tong Yufeng and Yang Taixu of the Tianxing Martial Arts Hall, as usual, explained some rules for the duel between warriors. Su Dong and Ji Lianchun also signed a life-and-death certificate, which was considered to have completed all the formalities for the Ling War Strong Duel.

  There were very few people on the scene. The City Lord's Mansion and the Tianxing Martial Arts Academy each had seven or eight warriors, all of whom were of a higher level. These were the witnesses to the duel. Apart from this, whether it was the city defense soldiers or the Tianxing Martial Arts Academy disciples, they were all blocked outside.

  On the earthen yard, Su Dong and Ji Lian Chun stood facing each other. Ji Lian Chun let out a cold laugh and pulled out a spiritual sword from behind his back.

  "Heavy sword!?" Su Dong muttered to himself.

  Zhou Xing had just told him that Ji Lianchun used a willow-leaf knife called Fei Huan, but what Ji Lianchun took out was actually a heavy and sharp long sword weighing no less than thirty catties!

  Because the mainland's Ling warriors use the Star Spirit, and the Star Spirit is the sharpest, most warriors like to use light and agile blades. The Blood Shadow Temple assassin who chased Su Dong initially used a slender long sword that weighed less than three catties, precisely because of the sharpness of the spirit.

  Not only Su Dong, but also Yang Taosi and Zhou Xing, the witnesses of Tianxing Wuguan, all furrowed their brows when they saw this heavy sword.

  Why did Ji Lian Chun suddenly abandon his familiar Lingbing and switch to a 1.5-meter-long double-edged heavy sword before the battle? What's the logic behind this?
