What had happened between Lu Jingchen's master and Ling Mumei's master? Did they have to let their disciples compete, and the loser would have to pay with their lives? Ye Wen dared to ask Ling Mumei this question.

Ling Mumei retracted her gaze, and said: "My master was a renowned scholar when he was young. Master Lu Jingchen is a reclusive, heroic girl. The two of them should have been the most compatible couple. Ever since they met, they had discussed the art of zither, calligraphy, poetry, and melodies frequently. The two of them could reach a consensus on all these things, but in terms of swordsmanship, the two of them had never given up. So later on, when the two of them got into an argument and had to find a place to spar every other year, it was only natural that the two of them would win or lose against each other. "

"Since there's a winner and a loser, what's the point in competing?" Ye Wen was puzzled, hearing Ling Mumei's meaning, his master and Lu Jingchen's master should be like the two of them, adoring each other. Ling Mumei and Lu Jingchen were friends because of their Master, but why did their Master end up widowed?

"The focus of their debate is actually on the existence of the final move of a sword technique." Ling Mumei said slowly. My master thinks that the last move of that sword technique is only a legend, and her master thinks that this move definitely exists. The two of them argued with each other for a lifetime, but even after Master Lu Jing Chen passed away, he was still unable to learn the final sword slash. Three days after he passed away, my master also passed away with hatred. "

"What kind of sword technique is that?" Ye Mo's curiosity was getting stronger.

"The Yue Maiden Sword Art."

The sword technique Yue Nu was passed down as the style of "Spring and Autumn Wu Yue", created by a girl named Ah Qing. At that time, not only was the swordsman of Wu State good at swordsmanship, but he was also good at military tactics. The king of Yue was not his match, and he had no choice but to offer his beauty to Wu Wangfu. Not only that, the king of Yue had also sent Fan Li to the mountains to look for experts in order to let the king's soldiers learn the world's best swordsmanship and defeat the Wu Country. Fan Li visited all the famous people in the world, but was unable to meet a certain person. In the end, he accidentally saw a shepherdess practicing her swordsmanship. When Fan Li finished looking at her swordsmanship, he was overjoyed. As for Qing's background, no one knew. There was no record of it in the annals of history. What was passed down was that Ah Qing had been moved by Fan Li's sincerity and had agreed to come out of the mountains with him to teach him the sword techniques of the soldiers of the State of Yue.

Ah Qing, who had been invited by Fan Li to leave the mountain, was treated with the utmost respect by Fan Li. This was criticized by many doctors in the State of Yue, but Fan Li completely ignored it. Within two years, Ah Qing's acceptance of the sword had become a joke between Wu and Yue. Fortunately, the king of Yue deigned to support Fan Li, allowing him to continue using Ah Qing. At that time, there were eight famous swordsmen in Wu Country, and they were the people with the highest swordsmanship in Wu Country. When he heard that Fan Li had placed importance on teaching the sword skills of a soldier by a shepherdess, he came to Yueguo to compete with Ah Qing. He wanted to show off the sword skills of Wu and humiliate Fan Li. During the banquet, Fan Li invited Ah Qing to sit at the seat of honor. The eight of them looked at a weak woman with even more contempt, and scoffed disdainfully at her. One of them immediately left the seats, yelling and arguing with Ah Qing over the sword. Ah Qing was not upset either. He only ordered someone to bring him a wooden sword. He wanted to compete with the swordsmen of Wu Country with wooden swords. The swordsman was infuriated. His killing intent soared as he attacked with his sword. However, within ten moves, he was defeated by Ah Qing's wooden sword.

The other seven people all went up to challenge him. In the end, they were all easily defeated by Ah Qing with his wooden sword, and within a hundred moves at that. The eight swordsmen felt embarrassed and left in disgrace. It was only now that Qing was truly respected by the other scholars, and even the King of Yue had praised him. At this time, the king of Yue had been living in poverty for more than ten years. On one hand, he was giving his country's women to Wu, while on the other hand, he was trying to encourage his country to become more and more powerful. The eight swordsmen of the Wu Country brought their losses back to the country, causing a huge commotion. In the end, under a situation where they were in a dominant position, Wu Wangfu decided to start a war against the State of Yue. However, this time, the soldiers of the State of Yue, who had been trained for two years in swordsmanship, were able to fight against the soldiers of the State of Wu and even gain the upper hand in battle. Wu Wangfu was infuriated. He had hired sixteen experts from other countries to secretly sneak into the State of Yue and assassinate Fan Li.

The sixteen of them snuck into the State of Yue and hid themselves. After he figured out Fan Li's movements, he snuck into Fan Li's estate in the middle of the night and killed all of Fan Li's servants. Fan Li was in a critical moment when Ah Qing appeared. In the face of the combined attacks of these sixteen experts, Ah Qing remained unperturbed, and his swordplay remained unflustered. However, under the siege of sixteen experts, no matter how exquisite and unrivalled the Azulet Sword Technique was, it was still at a disadvantage. Not long after the battle, Ah Qing was injured, but four out of the sixteen people died. In the end, Ah Qing was outnumbered and died trying to save Fan Li. However, the remaining twelve people were all slain by Ah Qing's final strike. Fan Li watched A Qing die without being able to do anything, and felt extremely regretful in his heart. After the destruction of the Wu Country and the suicide of his husband, Fan Li grew tired of politics and took Xi Shi to live in seclusion with him. Rumor has it that Ah Qing was in love with Fan Li. She deliberately disguised herself as a shepherdess in the mountains in order to get close to Fan Li. Later, he realized that Fan Li had always been obsessed with Xi Shi, and he was even more obsessed with Xi Shi, determined to help him. As for Ah Qing's sword technique, Fan Li called it the "Yue Maiden Sword Art." As for the sword technique that Ah Qing had used to kill the twelve experts, it was said to be called the Formless Divine Sword.

The godly sword was formless, it could kill people without them noticing. This was the highest realm of swordplay.

Ye Mo Han had always held a playful attitude towards legends, but Ling Mumei's words, he and Lu Jing Chen's two masters, had obviously taken the legends too seriously, to the point where Master and disciple had shared a sorrowful relationship.

"Then when you sparred with Senior Lu with sword techniques, how did you lose?" Although Ye Mo Han did not believe the legend of Yue Nu's sword technique, he had a faint feeling that Lu Jingchen and her master had a deep connection with the legend of Yue Nu.

Ling Mumei's deep and lifeless eyes immediately became spirited after being questioned by Ye Mo Han: "I am not her opponent at all. Her last sword attack was the Yue Maiden's final technique, the Formless Blade."

Ye Han Han seemed to see the sword of a wild goose descending to the peak of the peak, its radiance shining in all directions, dazzling people, able to compete with the sun and moon. After Lu Jingchen used Mirage, all of Ling Mumei's sword moves were suppressed, and all of his subsequent moves were sealed as well. Ling Mumei simply did not have the chance to unleash her sword. Even the sword Qi was instantly broken by the final move of the female sword technique. Ling Mumei closed her eyes waiting for death as she completely forgot that the other party was her beloved person. At that time, all he could think of was his master's words: The Divine Sword, Formless Shadow, could never exist. Ling Mumei really wanted to go tell her master that the Divine Sword, Formless Shadow, really did exist.

All the sword qi around the mountain disappeared, Lu Jingchen kept his sword and walked over to Ling Mumei, saying in a low voice, "This is the Formless Divine Sword. My master told me to master it before I passed away, and also ordered me to use this move to defeat you. If I disobey my master's orders, she won't be at peace even if she becomes a ghost. "

They had never seen such a fierce and tyrannical sword technique. The three of them racked their brains, but they still couldn't think of a way to block the Divine Sword's Formless Shadow, let alone trying to break it. That one sword attack changed the fates of Ling Mumei and Lu Jingchen. It also provided a lot of lessons for Wu Dang and Hua Shan to learn from their later sword attacks.

Ling Mumei let out a soft sigh, her heart was in a mess as she understood that Lu Jingchen wanted to make an agreement with her for three years and three rounds. Lu Jingchen had naturally mastered the final move of the Woman Assassin, and was very familiar with Ling Mumei's whereabouts. He had already fallen in love with her when he was secretly observing her, and it could be said that Lu Jingchen was like Ah Qing was with Fan Li. In order to be able to spend more time with Ling Mumei, he had put the competition of sword techniques at the very end. Lu Jingchen really knew how to pinch Ling Mumei. She had deliberately left without saying goodbye after the first match probably because she wanted to see Ling Mumei's reaction. When she saw Ling Mumei's longing for her, her emotions became even more complicated. She was looking forward to the arrival of the promised time of the second year so that she could see Ling Mumei as soon as possible. She was also afraid that the third year would be too quick, so she had no choice but to spar with Ling Mumei. Lu Jingchen understood that according to the sword technique agreement, there would definitely be someone who would lose, and that person was destined to be Ling Mumei. Lu Jingchen knew clearly in his heart that the Immortal Sword was a sword that could not be broken, and there were very few people in the world who had heard of the Immortal Sword's Formless, so there were even less who saw it with their own eyes.
