Song of Adolescence

Chapter 66 Sudden Thunderclap

A sudden clap of thunder, and the entire ground blew up.

The tip of the Armoured Glacier sword was surrounded by a blue light and the mountain winds roared. Its sword aura was like a stampede of wild horses invading a wasteland.

This was very different from all of Li Hanyi’s previous sword moves. This sword was very domineering, not poetic at all, and possessed only a terrifying and horrifying killing intent.

This extremely domineering sword move was not Li Hanyi's own swordsmanship. It was created by that unconventional Lei Hong from Lei Clan who used a sword.

Back then, when this high-spirited youth came to Snow Moon City, he carried a special long sword. His face was shy, but his tone was very arrogant. "The Phoenix Edict with the golden list came out, a sudden rise in fame. I have a sword, named ‘Sudden Thunderclap’. Please enlighten me."

Now Li Hanyi closed his eyes, made his move with this sword, and withdrew.

"Lei Hong, we’re finally going to have to meet again," Li Hanyi murmured.

The Murderous Dread sword in Lei Wujie's left hand made the sword move “Raging Inferno Roaring Thunder” while the Rainfall sword in his right hand made the sword move “Paper Falls Into Smoke”. He had already reached the peak of his swordsmanship. But under the power of this Sudden Thunderclap, he could only retreat. Although Li Hanyi had withdrawn his sword, the sword power still remained undiminished. That Sudden Thunderclap move even caused a rumbling of thunder in the sky. The sky became overcast as clouds rolled in and a heavy downpour came down instantly.

Li Hanyi turned his head and looked at him. The rain was still pouring but the rainwater could not wet even an inch of his sleeves.

Lei Wujie, however, was completely soaked. After standing in the rain for a long time, he suddenly struck out another sword move. It was an ordinary sword move, like a sword move used by a child. It had no method and no sword intent.

Li Hanyi suddenly raised his head again and looked at the sky. He gently lifted a finger, and a drop of water fell into his palm. With a light stroke, the droplet of water became a string of water droplets. The string of water droplets slowly revealed the appearance of a sword. Then, he suddenly raised his head, and Lei Wujie's sword move had already reached him. Li Hanyi looked down and stared carefully at it. The sword of blue water in his hand burst apart instantly. The sword intent was inexhaustible, but there was no killing intent.

"And what sword move is that?" Li Hanyi asked.

"Three Abilities Swordplay, a stab," Lei Wujie replied.

Li Hanyi laughed. He turned around and Lei Wujie’s very ordinary sword move had cut through his veil. The veil floated gently to the ground, and the sword aura that surrounded him also dispersed in an instant. The rain came down on him and he was soaked. A sword immortal of his generation just let the rain wet his clothes and hair while he remained silent.

Lei Wujie withdrew his sword, and he suddenly burst into tears.

Sikong Changfeng, Tang Lian, and Xiao Se had finally arrived at the summit and immediately witnessed this scene. They saw the power of that Sudden Thunderclap, but Lei Wujie only used an ordinary sword stab to confront it. Three Abilities Swordplay. That was an introductory swordplay for novice swordsmen in the martial world. You can buy a copy for a dozen cents in a bookstore. Even children below the age of ten could perform several of its moves. Could this sword even hurt a sword immortal of his generation?

But indeed, this sword cut through the veil that the Snow Moon Sword Immortal wore all the time.

Under the veil, a peerless beauty was revealed.

Tang Lian stood in a daze. "Second shizun is a woman?"

Although she was no longer young, the face under the veil was still peerless. Except, her expression was icy cold, revealing an imposing dignity that made her unapproachable.

No wonder Lei Hong called her sword after seeing it, a sword of beauty.

No wonder Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan said that there were two beauties in Snow Moon City. One was the Luoxia Fairy, Yin Luoxia, and the other, was a little fierce.

Lei Wujie suddenly knelt on one knee and whispered, "Jiejie."

Li Hanyi looked down at him, her expression still indifferent. "You already knew."

Lei Wujie said that when he practiced his sword for the first time, he realized the beauty of swords when he saw Lei Hong use a sword move, and ever since then, he’d wanted to practice the sword. But there was a time when he was very young, he’d already picked up a sword. At the time, he lived together with his father, his mother and his older sister in a very large city. His father went out often and his mother was also often not at home. His sister often practiced her sword in the courtyard and when she got bored, she’d grab the child to practice swords together. Back then, he learned this sword move, a stab. He was only a child so he wasn’t very strong, and the only sword move he could use was this stab.

So when Lei Wujie mentioned the sword move, Li Hanyi already knew.

"Third shizun, what's going on?" Tang Lian turned and asked Sikong Changfeng.

Sikong Changfeng released a sigh. "Although Hanyi entered the sect just a month earlier than me, she’s actually younger than me by four years. Her mother is Li Xinyue, the successor of Sword Heart Tomb and her father is a senior member of the Lei Clan, Lei Mengsha. She never entered the Lei Clan so she followed her mother’s family name."

"Lei Mengsha? Li Xinyue? That was…" Tang Lian was shocked.

"Yes. Moon in sword heart, Killer in dreams4. They used to be very famous. Twenty years ago, during the chaos in Heavenly Revelations City, they were the guards of the current Emperor and they protected the current Emperor as they killed their way to the Hall of Calming Purity. Afterwards, Lei Mengsha was appointed one of the Eight Pillars of State. He led an expedition to Nanjue and died on the battlefield. Li Xinyue became the leader of the Four Guardians of Heavenly Revelations, the Guardian of the East, named Qinglong. Four years ago, after Langya Prince’s case, she left Heavenly Revelations.” Sikong Changfeng sighed again. "Lei Mengsha and Li Xinyue held very high positions in the martial world, so they sent their children out of Heavenly Revelations from an early age. One came to Snow Moon City, and the other returned to Lei Clan Fort. Very few people in the martial world know about this. Although Hanyi is a sword immortal, she hardly ever leaves the city, and very few people in the martial world know that she’s actually a woman."

"So you came to look for me, not because Lei Hong is dying?" Li Hanyi said.

Lei Wujie shook his head. "Shifu is really seriously ill, and I also really came to Snow Moon City on his behalf. But, when I met jiejie that day, I kept feeling a sense of familiarity. But, it was only after that heavy rain, I suddenly thought of my childhood. I secretly ran out to play and lost my way when it suddenly rained really heavily. I couldn't find my way home and could only stand there crying. Jiejie suddenly appeared in the rain, and it was as if my entire world lit up in that instant. Just now, in the heavy rain, I suddenly remembered that scene. Back then, jiejie also looked at me like that, as if she was a little pleased but also a little angry. I was at a loss. I didn’t know if I should lower my head and admit my mistake, or immediately run into jiejie’s arms and cry out loud."

Li Hanyi put the Armoured Glacier back into its sheath. She sighed and walked forward slowly. Suddenly, she leaned down and gently hugged Lei Wujie. "Xiao-Jie, you’ve suffered for so many years."

Lei Wujie also burst into tears, but he only shook his head, speechless.

Sikong Changfeng silently turned around and walked down the mountain, reciting to himself, "Meeting and parting now thousands of miles apart, we’re at opposite ends of the sky."

Tang Lian followed silently. Such a scene was indeed no longer suitable for them to stay longer. But Xiao Se still stood there blankly, as if in a daze. Tang Lian pulled on his shirt. "What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Se murmured, "I think, some things are really like fate."

"What?" Tang Lian was puzzled.

Xiao Se shook his head and walked straight down the mountain.
