The Whispering Wind Sword

8. Chapter 8's

After pondering for some time, DingTao finally decided to quietly leave the city before the gates closed. He could come back the next day when the gate was reopened.

Of course that meant he had to spend the whole night outside, but at this time of summer, there was no need for him to worry about the cold of the night.

Successfully making the decision of the young man immediately removed all doubts from his mind. He no longer thinks about the problem or tries to solve the real problem.

At the same time Wang Chen Jin was busy thinking of a way to avenge his heartache on Ding Tao.Since his defeat Wang Chen Jin had already repeatedly replayed that match in his brain. His brain was no less watered down than Ding Tao, nor was he a person blind to his own shortcomings.

Repeatedly he analyzed the match, so that in the end he was convinced that he should be able to win it, if only he did not underestimate the opponent and did not lose patience.

At first this made his heartache much lessened and for him it was enough to hurt the young man through his tongue play, but today, all that heartache was tipped back.

All the swear and mockery that his father threw, recalled.Wang Chen Jin is not a person who likes to linger in making decisions, he said, once he decided then his thoughts would be addressed by how he managed to accomplish that.Today he had already decided to obliterate Ding Tao's life.

Just how he did it, the first step he had taken, he had confidence that Ding Tao would be outside the northern gate of the city tonight.

Now is the next step, from the conversation with some people in his entourage this time, Wang Chen Jin knew that they would stop at one of the inns that opened along the road from Wuling to the north and set off back the next day.

Tonight, he could quietly pick up one of the best horses and get to the northern gate of Wuling city before midnight.

The last problem to be solved was, how did he kill Ding Tao. Once this should be no mistake, as all the masks would be revealed, if Ding Tao managed to escape from his sword, then the relationship that had just been forged between his father and the great Lord Huang Jin could fall apart.

Even if the relationship can still be maintained, because of the calculation of profit and loss, is the relationship with young lady Huang that can certainly end.

Therefore Ding Tao must die, not only die, but there must also be no one who can connect Ding Tao's death with him.

His death also had to take place quickly, as it took time to return from Wuling to the inn, and he had to return before dawn arrived.

From this thought, then Wang Chen Jin came to one conclusion, in order to kill Ding Tao, he had to borrow his father's heirloom sword.

This heirloom sword is not named, its existence is very secret, except for his father and 2 confidants in their group, no one knows about the existence of this heirloom sword.

This heirloom sword is actually not exactly called a sword, the length of the sword is no more than 5 cun, but the sharpness is extraordinary.All parts are unity, from the hilt to the blade, the length of the sword, there is almost no restraint that separates the sword eye with the handle of the sword.If it is not vigilant and not strong to grasp, it is not impossible that the wearer's finger can be cut off by the sharpness of the sword.

The maker has accidentally added chemical elements from other metals when processing the iron seeds he used.This happened accidentally and unconsciously, until when the maker found his sword, much stronger, and more powerful, more pliable and could be made so sharp without becoming a hack, neither could he make a sword of the same quality a second time.

Plus the expertise of the sword maker, it is not wrong if this sword becomes an heirloom sword.

Of course, this sword used to have a name, as an heirloom sword that is second to none. But within Wang Dou's grasp this sword turned into a nameless sword.

So precious was this sword that wherever Wang Dou went, this sword was certainly carried by him. But not once did this sword use it.

He made a wooden shell and kept the sword in the middle. If one looks, what is seen is a stick. And it was that stick that Wang Dou used as a weapon, but not once did he pull the sword hidden within the staff.

Wang Chen Jin was the only son, to his son it was not inevitable, the secret was told. The hope will be, if until he fails to achieve his goals, then his son will continue.

It was this sword that became Wang Chen Jin's main force to eliminate Ding Tao.

Not infrequently an expert can unravel the killer of someone through the wounds left behind. But no one in the martial world knew of his father's heirloom sword, thus the traces of wounds left on Ding Tao's body will not seep on him or his father.From the science he is sure to defeat Ding Tao, Ding Tao, coupled with the heirloom sword then the opportunity also increased many times.

During the journey this matter was repeatedly thought of, and the more he thought of the plan, the more he was sure that the plan would work.

Night had arrived, a bright cloudless day, the moon was still crescent-shaped and in the sky appeared to be scattered with stars.

In one corner near the north gate of Wuling city, DingTao curled up silently, waiting. Already since this afternoon he waited, silent, away from the crowd, in a cart that had been abandoned since noon by its owner, because the contents of his merchandise had been exhausted.

Tomorrow he will fill it with new merchandise, but now the wagon is left behind.

A sword, a sword that became his pride, a sign of the results of his perseverance was tightly embraced. Tonight the sword was the only friend in the waiting.From late afternoon to far midnight, if not Ding Tao might have long left the place, at least moved to another place.

But not so with Ding Tao, waited patiently, if necessary until dawn came.

While waiting to contemplate the new moves he learned these few days.

How excited he was that these new moves revealed many possibilities in playing his sword and hand. A question that had not been answered while training the basic moves, he found the answer in these new moves.

Ever since his battle with Wang Chen Jin, Ding Tao's understanding of martial arts gained one breakthrough.It was almost like gaining enlightenment, a student who studied diligently a science had naturally felt this kind of breakthrough. When suddenly what was originally only a poultice, in the form of practices pursued, suddenly gained understanding.

And what was felt between there and nothing, understandable but incomprehensible, seeing but only shadows.Suddenly in one particular point revealed and can be understood with light.

In less than a week, Ding Tao today was different from Ding Tao trying to pass the level-up exam.

It is not because of magic medicine or magic science, it is the result of perseverance.

Enlightenment is difficult to predict and depends on talent and luck. In some people after decades of perseverance only to gain progress, in others the enlightenment came as suddenly.

The depth of one's understanding also varies depending on the talents and knowledge that have been cultivated before.

But surely enlightenment itself is accumulation

contemplation, practice and tireless efforts, although the culprit himself sometimes does not realize it.

Under such circumstances, spending time lingering by sitting still in one place was not a problem for Ding Tao. Hours passed by Ding Tao drifting in his musings.
