Ah Dai, fearing Xuan Yue might misunderstand that he was taking advantage of her, quickly adjusted her position and said, "I don’t know what happened either, the carriage seed to have suddenly stopped."
Miao Fei had already sprung out, and Moon Scar and Yue Ji also floated out, leaving only Ah Dai and Xuan Yue inside the carriage. Ah Dai said, "Miss, I’ll go down and take a look as well."
Xuan Yue yawned and said, "I’m so sleepy, I still want to sleep. Your shoulder is so comfortable, don’t go, they can handle it." After speaking, she wrapped her arm around Ah Dai’s and closed her eyes again.
Ah Dai had no choice but to turn his attention to listening intently to the noises outside; there seed to be many people. A stranger’s voice shouted, "Who are you, and what are you doing in the Pu Yan Clan Territory?"
Moon Scar responded gently, "Please, brother soldiers, we are mbers of the Moon Scar rcenary Corps, planning to go to the Tian Yuan Clan and just passing through the Noble Domain. We are rely asking to pass through."
The strange voice snorted and said, "I don’t care if you’re rcenaries or not. If you want to go to the Tian Yuan Clan, turn around imdiately and take the long way around. You are not allowed to pass through our Pu Yan Clan Territory."
Ah Dai was taken aback; the Pu Yan Clan was being unreasonable—to the point where they couldn’t even cross their land?
Moon Scar, still maintaining his composure amid the cold treatnt, gently said, "Brother soldiers, please make an exception. If we take a detour now, it will add at least ten more days to our journey. We all belong to the Federation, how about making it convenient for us? We promise not to stay in the Noble Domain long and will pass through as quickly as possible. What do you say?"
"Humph, I’ve seen too many like you. Don’t try to butter up. Who’s your brother? Leave imdiately, or we’ll force you out."
An angry voice from Yue Ji rose, "You’re being completely unreasonable! Why can’t we pass? We will pass no matter what; see what you can do about it."
The sound of tal indicated that the other party had drawn their weapons. Ah Dai quickly woke Xuan Yue, saying, "Miss, it seems a fight is about to start outside. Rest here; I’ll go out and check."
Xuan Yue murmured discontentedly and continued chasing her beautiful dreams on the long seat of the carriage.
Ah Dai floated down from the carriage and hid on one side to see what was happening. This was a shaded broad avenue with a very flat road, surrounded by tall trees, dozens of ters high, with dense branches and leaves, allowing only specks of sunlight to sprinkle onto the ground. In front of the carriage, Moon Scar and his siblings, Miao Fei, and Wan Li stood in a line, facing about twenty light cavalryn who had just drawn their sabers from their belts and glared at them fiercely.
Moon Scar called out loudly, "Gentlen, we are legitimate rcenaries. Don’t you Pu Yan Clan have rcenaries? We are rely passing through, and you treat us like this? Just so you know, the Red Charming Clan is not easily bullied."
The leading knight snorted coldly and said, "Red Charming Clan? Aside from a few useless rcenaries, what else do you have? Today, let see what you can do. If any of you can defeat this long knife in my hand, I’ll let you pass."
These words completely ignited Moon Scar’s anger. He retorted coldly, "Alright, then let see what’s so great about the Pu Yan Clan. Little sister, you guys step back," he said, drawing his longsword and fixing his gaze on the knight on horseback.
The Pu Yan Clan knight dismounted, and Ah Dai was shocked to find that this knight was even taller than himself. Once he dismounted, he exuded an intense aura, carrying his over four-foot-long knife on his shoulder, and walked towards Moon Scar step by step. With each step, his aura beca even more overwhelming, firmly locked onto Moon Scar.
Moon Scar held his sword across his chest, his face showing a solemn expression; he hadn’t expected to encounter such a powerful adversary here.
"Yan Shi of the Pu Yan Clan at your service. Watch the knife!" With a loud shout, Yan Shi’s yellow fighting spirit surged explosively, and he gripped his knife with both hands, charging at Moon Scar with a fierce montum.
Ah Dai was shocked, for the move Yan Shi used was very similar to the Splitting Chop from his own Tian Gang Swordsmanship.
Moon Scar was not intimidated by his opponent’s montum. His hand holding the Silver Sword slanted slightly, aiming at the opponent’s knife edge. With a light ’ting’ sound, Moon Scar’s Silver Sword accurately hit the opponent’s knife edge five inches from the tip, a flash of silver light deflecting the long knife to one side. However, due to the great force on Yan Shi’s knife, he was still jolted back two steps.
Ignoring the disadvantage, Yan Shi launched three consecutive knife strikes, slashing at Moon Scar like lightning, with fighting spirit overflowing. Even Ah Dai, standing by the carriage, could clearly feel the huge gusts of wind. Moon Scar’s strength obviously did not match his opponent’s. His body fluttered about, deploying his own Moon Shadow Swordsmanship, engaging with his opponent. For a mont, gusts of wind were flying, and the two figures, one yellow and one silver, clashed and intersected continuously. Moon Scar was much more agile than his opponent, but seed markedly weaker in fighting spirit compared to Yan Shi. Under Yan Shi’s oppressive montum, he struggled considerably, trembling all over every ti his Silver Sword t the opponent’s long knife.
With a loud clang, Moon Scar staggered back three steps, his shoulder’s Silver Armor had a piece sliced off by the opponent’s knife edge, clearly at a disadvantage.
Your taunting, Yan Shi pointed his knife blade obliquely and disdainfully said, "I told you, you’re no match. Still, you wouldn’t believe it. Leave the Pu Yan Clan Territory imdiately, or else, don’t bla for being rude."
Moon Scar, fully aware that he was the strongest in the rcenary corps and that if even he couldn’t beat the opponent, there was nothing they could do.
