Chapter 87 Killing Tian Boguang
Chapter 87 Killing Tian Boguang
Upon hearing Zhao Yu's words, Tian Boguang's face turned red and then pale.
After a moment, he forcefully retorted, "Nonsense! What's so handsome about you, you pretty boy?"
Zhao Yu looked at Yilin: "Since it's a comparison between you and me, then what we say doesn't count. How about we let Yilin, our little master, be the judge?"
Seeing Tian Boguang's exasperated appearance, Yilin couldn't help but burst into laughter through her tears, and immediately nodded in agreement: "If we're talking about handsome, of course this young master is more handsome."
After saying that, she couldn't help but blush.
It's amazing that Zhao Yu could come up with the idea of a nun praising a man's handsomeness. If it weren't for her anger towards Tian Boguang, Yilin would probably never have said such a thing, even if it meant her death.
Hearing Yilin's words, Tian Boguang was enraged and glared fiercely at Zhao Yu: "Pretty boy, I'll kill you right now and see if you're still so handsome!"
Having said that, Tian Boguang charged straight at Zhao Yu with his knife.
Yilin's face paled, and she exclaimed repeatedly, "Oh no, I forgot! Young master, be careful!"
She was so engrossed in mocking Tian Boguang that she forgot about Zhao Yu's safety and felt a pang of self-reproach.
As she spoke, Yilin leaped forward, intending to help Zhao Yu defend himself.
But her lightness skill was nowhere near that of Tian Boguang. She had only taken one step when Tian Boguang's knife was already in front of Zhao Yu.
But the next moment, something happened that left both of them speechless.
Faced with this lightning-fast strike, Zhao Yu merely turned slightly to the side, and Tian Boguang's longsword slashed down just in front of him.
The gust of wind generated by the blade made Zhao Yu's bangs flutter, but it didn't hurt him at all.
"Huh?" Tian Boguang exclaimed softly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that this seemingly weak young master would be able to dodge his attack.
With a flick of his wrist, Tian Boguang swept his longsword horizontally, changing the slash into a chop, aiming straight for Zhao Yu's waist.
This swift and ruthless change of attack, with a tricky angle, truly lived up to its name as a fast blade.
But Zhao Yu remained calm and composed, simply leaning back slightly and drifting backward along with the momentum of the blade.
Tian Boguang's knife followed closely behind Zhao Yu, but the blade was always just an inch or two short, never touching Zhao Yu at all.
"Interesting." Tian Boguang sheathed his sword and jumped back, looking at Zhao Yu warily. "I misjudged you. You're a江湖人 (jianghu person, a member of the martial arts world). Give me your name, which gang are you from?"
Seeing this, Yilin breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and showed a look of surprise on her face.
She never expected that this seemingly refined young man would have such excellent light-footed skills, able to dodge Tian Boguang's attacks.
Zhao Yu didn't answer Tian Boguang's question. Instead, he beckoned to him and said, "Aren't you called 'Wanli Duxing' (meaning 'Wanli Lone Traveler')? Where's your lightness skill? Show it to me. Those two moves just now were a bit too slow."
"You brat, you're asking for it!" Tian Boguang was furious. He couldn't stand being mocked like this by an unknown junior.
"Young man, you're so arrogant! You really think you can fight me just because you dodged one of my blades? Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
Tian Boguang sneered, "Trying to be a hero and save the beauty, huh? I'll cut off your limbs and nail you to a tree later, so you can watch me get intimate with this little beauty. Let's see if you can still laugh then."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and channeled his inner strength.
Tian Boguang's figure blurred, and in the next moment, he appeared beside Zhao Yu, his long sword whistling as it slashed towards Zhao Yu's ribs.
The name "Quick Blade" is indeed well-deserved. If it were an ordinary martial artist, they would probably not have time to react before they met their demise on the spot.
But today, Tian Boguang has chosen the wrong opponent.
Zhao Yu remained calm and composed. Just as the long sword was about to touch him, he subtly moved his feet and unleashed the Lingbo Weibu technique.
He spun around on the spot, narrowly avoiding the blade.
Tian Boguang's sword strike missed its mark, and he was startled, so he quickly changed his move.
No matter how fast his blade was or how swift his movements were, Zhao Yu always managed to dodge at the last second.
His blade was fast, but Zhao Yu's movements were even faster.
The two fought for dozens of rounds. Tian Boguang was panting heavily and covered in sweat, but he couldn't even touch a corner of Zhao Yu's clothes.
Zhao Yu wanted to see his extraordinary lightness skill as he traveled thousands of miles alone, so he only dodged and did not make a move.
Even without his intervention, the difference between the two was obvious to the naked eye. Even Yilin's initial worry turned into surprise, let alone a seasoned veteran like Tian Boguang.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
Tian Boguang abruptly sheathed his sword, took a few steps back, and looked at Zhao Yu with eyes full of apprehension: "Who exactly are you, kid? What kind of lightness skill is that? I've been wandering the martial world for so many years, and I've never seen such a strange movement technique before."
His swift swordsmanship and agility are considered top-notch in the martial arts world.
Even if he encountered the leader of one of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, he could exchange a few blows. Even if he was no match for them, he could still escape unscathed thanks to his lightness skill.
But today, in front of Zhao Yu, his once-proud speed became a joke.
Zhao Yu stood with his hands behind his back: "It's just some rudimentary footwork, nothing to brag about. What? Is this all Tian Boguang, the Lone Traveler of Ten Thousand Miles, is capable of?"
"you……"
Tian Boguang's face flushed red, but he was helpless.
He knew he had met his match today; the young man in front of him was probably more skilled in martial arts than he was.
Let alone committing murder, even leaving safely is a problem.
His eyes darted around, and he immediately had second thoughts.
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. I'll slip away first. There's plenty of time in the future to get revenge on this pretty boy.
Thinking of this, Tian Boguang clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhao Yu and said, "Your martial arts are superb, and I am ashamed to admit my inferiority. Today's matter was my fault. I will leave now and will never cause trouble for this young master again. We will meet again."
As he spoke, Tian Boguang didn't stop running; he had already flown away, intending to escape.
"Stop right there." Zhao Yu's voice rang out. "Did I say you could leave?"
Tian Boguang's face hardened, and he turned around and shouted, "Kid, don't go too far. I may not be able to beat you, but if you really push me too far, we'll fight to the death."
He kept uttering threats, but he didn't stop, fleeing quickly into the distance.
Zhao Yu scoffed, "A fight to the death? You dare to challenge me?"
Before he finished speaking, he moved swiftly and appeared in front of Tian Boguang in an instant.
With Zhao Yu's internal energy boosting his skills, even ordinary light footwork wouldn't be slow, let alone a divine skill like Lingbo Weibu.
Tian Boguang felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could react, a hand firmly grabbed his neck.
Zhao Yu applied slight pressure, and Tian Boguang immediately felt difficulty breathing, his face turning bright red.
He struggled desperately, waving his hands wildly, trying to pry Zhao Yu's hands off, but Zhao Yu's hands were like iron clamps, not moving an inch.
"Tian Boguang, over the years you've been a womanizer, ruining countless innocent women," Zhao Yu said coldly. "Today I will act on behalf of Heaven and kill you, you scoundrel!"
A flicker of fear crossed Tian Boguang's eyes as he said with difficulty, "Great hero, spare my life..."
But that was all he could say. He was just a womanizer, of no use to Zhao Yu, so there was no need to hold back.
Zhao Yu exerted force, and the next moment, Tian Boguang's eyes dimmed, and he was no longer alive.
