Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 84 Yanqing

As the sound rang out, a young man dressed in light blue clothes, with a graceful figure, slowly descended from the sky, stepping on a flying sword that gleamed with cold light.

His movements were fluid and elegant, like a light feather.

Not a single speck of dust was stirred up when he touched the ground.

After landing, he flicked two fingers upwards, and the flying swords stuck in front of Lin Qiong seemed to come alive.

They transformed into several streaks of light and returned to the boy's side, hovering quietly beside him.

“These people look unfamiliar; they don’t seem to be locals from Luofu.”

The boy raised his bright eyes and looked Lin Qiong and his group up and down, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

He had never seen Lin Qiong and his companions' style of dress before on "Luofu".

At least, I have never seen such styles and designs in any of the clothing stores in "Luofu".

Thinking about this only fueled his curiosity about the identities of Lin Qiong and his group.

"Although we at Luofu have always welcomed travelers from afar, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you all to attack the Cloud Cavalry on the immortal ship?"

The boy's words carried a hint of seriousness, and his gaze toward Lin Qiong and the others gradually sharpened.

"If you're looking for an opponent on 'Luofu,' how about Yanqing sparring with you a few times?"

As he spoke, the young man who called himself Yanqing raised the long sword in his hand, held it horizontally in front of him, and gently stroked the blade with two fingers.

The sword was enveloped in a layer of blue light, like frost and snow, under his touch.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong quickly waved his hand in denial, saying, "Hey, don't lie through your teeth. I saved them from the hands of the demonic soldiers."

His tone was somewhat urgent as he tried to clarify his position.

This scene also reminded him of the first time he met Jepard.

He tried to explain it in the same way back then, and in the end he had to bring up Cocolia's name to convince Jepard.

He can't bring up Jing Yuan again this time, can he?

However, when Yanqing heard Lin Qiong's words, he immediately turned his head and carefully observed his surroundings.

He noticed that, apart from the neatly stacked crates nearby, he did not find the remains of the demonic soldiers that Lin Qiong had mentioned.

Yanqing, realizing she had been deceived, instantly turned grim.

"A complete liar!"

He hissed angrily in a low voice, his tone filled with rage.

"No, he's telling the truth!!"

Suddenly, March 7th interjected to defend Lin Qiong, attempting to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Those unkillable monsters were burned to death by him."

She gestured with her hands in the air, using exaggerated body movements and words to describe the scene.

"Hmph, nonsense. The demonic soldiers are blessed by 'Abundance,' their bodies are immortal and indestructible, how could they possibly be burned to death by mere flames?"

Yanqing snorted coldly, her face full of suspicion.

Having occasionally dealt with the "Secret Teachings of the Medicine King," he knew very well how troublesome those madmen who believed in "abundance" could be.

Those who fall into demonic possession can recover quickly in a very short time under the blessing of "abundance," even if their bodies are severely injured.

If it could be destroyed by fire alone, the "Secret Teachings of the Medicine King," which had been causing trouble in the Immortal Boat Alliance, would have long since ceased to exist.

"Oh dear, Uncle Yang, please help me explain!"

Seeing that Yanqing remained unmoved, March 7th looked anxiously at Walter Yang beside him, hoping that he could step in and resolve the current situation.

At this moment, Walter Young was quietly gathering intelligence about the area.

He rested his chin on his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

Upon hearing March 7th's call, he raised his head, fixed his gaze on Yan Qing not far away, and slowly said, "There must be some misunderstanding..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Yanqing interrupted him: "Enough talk, take this sword!"

As Yanqing finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The cold light flashing on the longsword drew a bright trajectory in mid-air, rushing towards March 7 at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive.

Compared to the others, March 7, wielding a longbow, was undoubtedly the best target.

Yanqing believed that the vast majority of archers were not good at close combat.

Therefore, when outnumbered, the wisest tactic is to prioritize weakening the enemy's strength.

However, precisely because of this, he failed to notice the star standing next to March 7th.

"Chong-"

A crisp metallic clang rang out in the air.

At this moment, Yanqing's face was filled with shock, and his eyes widened suddenly as if he had seen something unbelievable.

His lightning-fast sword strike was actually caught steadily by Xing beside him.

Xing, holding the baseball bat in one hand, frowned slightly and looked at Yanqing with a puzzled expression.

"A sneak attack?"

Her tone carried a hint of anger, and with a slight exertion of force in her hand holding the baseball bat, she pushed Yanqing back against the longsword.

As Xing moved, a strange force traveled along the longsword to Yan Qing's arm, causing his body to involuntarily take a few steps back.

"Such immense power!"

Yanqing quickly steadied herself by stepping on the ground, then couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, her voice filled with surprise.

But the surprise on his face quickly vanished, replaced by a look of excitement.

Yanqing's eyes gleamed with a burning light, his gaze fixed on Xing, as if he had seen an opponent worthy of his full strength.

Thinking of this, he had a sudden inspiration. He naturally brought his left index and middle fingers together, gently lifted the fingertips, and held them upright in front of him.

Then, as if summoned, the floating swords flew swiftly toward Yan Qing, circling around him like dancers.

"That's enough of the probing."

Yanqing's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement, and every word he spoke revealed his inner turmoil.

As the strongest swordsman of his time on the immortal ship "Luofu", he hones his sword skills almost every moment.

All for the sake of one day winning the title of "Sword Master" of Luofu.

However, on the immortal ship "Luofu", he found few worthy opponents, which made him eager to spar with strong individuals.

This is how they hone their swordsmanship and seek breakthroughs and growth.

Now that a formidable opponent is right in front of him, how could he not be excited?

"You'd better be prepared for this move!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yanqing pushed off with her feet and leaped into the air like a nimble swallow.

As he leaped into the air, he used his mind to manipulate the flying swords, transforming them into streaks of light that soared through the air with him.

"Ten Thousand Swords—"

As the sound rang out, Yanqing's figure in the air suddenly accelerated, plummeting down like a meteorite.

The flying swords surrounding Yan Qing were also woven into an impenetrable sword net under his control.

"—Heavens!!!"
