The birds chirping drowned by the sound of steel clashing. The wind brings about the scent of sweats and blood.
Azief is in his hut, his eyes closed.
Then he heard a sound and his eyelids opened. He looks at the source of the sound and then he nodded like he was digesting sothing.
Then he smiles and close his eyes again.
That is what he did for a few hours. Once in a while that sound stopped and he would close his eyes for a long ti.
When the sound sounded again, he would open his eyes and look at it again.
All these hours, there is soone beside him attending to his every orders and informing him in details of how the battle outside fared
That person in Han Xiao, one of the Three Devils of Han. The Crippled Devil was summoned by Azief when the battle outside the hut begins.
Challenging the Flowing Sword Arts et has begun
Outside the hut, the sound of sword clashing and striking each other could be heard.
Azief sotis opens his eyes and when he saw the martial arts of those schools or sects that challenge his disciple, if he deed his disciple could defeat it, he would then close his eyes while analyzing the enemy’s martial arts and swordsmanship
While he was doing this, the Supre Swordsmanship manual that he intends to create gradually took a form in his mind.
When Xi Feng cos out from his residence, the Three Devils of Han protected him by forming a protective circle of protection around him.
Azief and Xi Feng both had considers the possibility that the scher might attacked in the beginning of the ceremony.
And maybe the schers don’t even have to show themselves as they could goad the heterodox sect to kill Xi Feng from the very beginning.
Thankfully nothing happened. After Xi Feng have arrived at the platform, The Three Devils acted like the officiator and judges of the et
They lay down a few rules that needed to be followed.
If not, they declared that they would interfere in the battle.
While The Three Devils of Han is not really a grandmaster level in the martial arts world, they have already seen the prowess of Han Xiao at the foot of the mountain.
The Crippled Devil seems to already reached the border to reach the grandmaster level and the other is not sure what kind of power level that the other two devils have achieved.
And the people here did not forget that the Three Devils of Han possess the Unity in One Internal skills that enables them to transfer their internal energy to each other
If two of them transfer their energy to one of them, one of the Three Devils could have the ability in par with a grandmaster.
The rules laid out was simple.
Everyone could challenge Xi Feng but once you have lost you must not attack him again and so does the school or sect you represent.
And after every fight, Xi Feng would be allowed to take half an hour break. The challenger is also disqualified if they went out of bounds from the stone platform.
For this Challenging the Flowing Sword Arts et, there is a circular stone platform that is prepared for the challengers.
The stage was a circular stage carved from rocks.
It was Azief handiwork.
No one knows how Azief did it and the Three Devils of Han was afraid to ask while Xi Feng also did not want to ask.
Because if he asks, he fear that the conversation would touch upon the origin of his master.
Xi Feng actually fears that the mont he knew about his teacher origins, that his teacher would leave him.
Since that is the case, everyone pretend that the circular stage was always there without once asking Azief. And Azief pretend everything is like the usual.
He could not let the competition; the trap he had planned to be so shabby.
Since that is the case, he uses his powerful sword to carve out a circular stage carved from mountain rocks and elevated it with one slap of his palm to bring it out from the area where he carved the stage.
With one slice of his sword he cut apart the uneven edges of the platform, making it smooth and this platform for the battle was created.
Azief was in his hut when he heard the rules being announced.
Xi Feng would accept whether that challenge be a death duel or a simple pointer exchange as long they agree with the rules.
Everyone agree and promise to uphold the rules of the et
Azief look at all this from his hut and he watches as people keep challenging his disciple. Azief did not show it but he has always been overbearing.
To the martial arts world, Xi Feng declares that if he died fighting in the stage, then that would be it and no one from his side would seek revenge for him but he also demands the sa from the other sects and school not to fault him if he kills their mbers.
But how could Azief allows that?
Xi Feng was his first disciple and maybe his last.
How could he let his disciple to die? In front of his him, if he is determined to keep soone alive, not even death could take them away!
If he sees that Xi Feng life is in danger, he would not mind appearing to save him
Even if people is saying that he bullied others, what does he cares about such reputation?
Azief was inford beforehand of those people that would be attending but he did not want to commit them to his mories so other than the few powerful martial arts master and the expert swordsman he knew only a few people.
Azief himself was leisurely enjoying the atmosphere of this tournant.
Rarely he becos the observer. Usually he is the storm and he takes the spotlight wherever he goes
But today, for so reason, he wants his disciple to take the spotlight.
There is a ti for him to appears. But right now is not the ti. Right now, it is his mont. Azief at least wanted to leave that mory to his disciple.
Azief like this atmosphere and the vibe of this tournant. True, many of them co to spar and so of them even wanted to kill his disciple, but there is also so people who are just here to join in the fun.
Since Azief rarely gets out and he did not walk this world, he felt quite interested when he heard the laughter and the comntary of the people from so busybodies or so inford martial artist who just co here to comnts and enjoy the gossips and the battles.
There are even a few storytellers who have powerful martial arts coming to see the battle and spread the story after the battle ended
Azief ignore the many accusations of the heterodox sect levied on his disciple and he ignored those people who sent well wishes to his disciple.
So of them look to fake and so of them is just good at hiding their envy from coming out. Azief could see their dark intention bubbling just underneath the surface
