The Whispering Wind Sword

9. Chapter 9's

Like a child who gets a new toy, other things become forgotten.The night is so quiet, the slowing of horses sounds obvious.

Ding Tao sharpened his eyes, trying to pierce through the darkness of the night, in the distance he saw a shadow.Who else if not Wang Chen Jin, no one else was wandering that late, no one else was wandering that late, Ding Tao stood up leaving a shadow that hid himself, not forgetting that the sword was ready in hand, because if the shadow was not Wang Chen Jin who was waiting for him, it was likely that it would not be a good person.

With his heart pounding he walked over to the horseman. Without sweat drenching his hands.

The horseman saw Ding Tao and got off his horse, with him leading the horse closer to Ding Tao, when the distance between them was not far, the horseman whispered hello,

" Sister Ding Tao, is that you?"

Hearing that voice, Ding Tao's heart was relieved. While accelerating his footsteps he replied,

"Right young master, it's me, Ding Tao."

Unseen from Ding Tao's place, Wang Chen Jin smiled viciously, slowly fumbling towards the headwaters of the sword stored beside the saddle.

"Did you come alone?"

"Yes young master, I think it's best, after all young master conveyed it in secret. So I decided to come alone."

"It's good, it's very careful what you think, Brother Ding."

While talking to each other, they did not feel they were already face to face, not the slightest bit there seemed to be evil intentions on Wang Chen Jin's face.

"Young master, what's the matter with young lady Huang?"

Wang Chen Jin's brows furrowed, the friendly smile that had been seen on his face, turning into a look of worry. This change made Ding Tao so pounding, what is the problem with the girl of his tribe.

"Hmmm.we'd better find a better place to talk about it."

Wang Chen Jin spread a glance around the place, looking for a place hidden enough that he could hide Ding Tao's corpse quickly. At least give more time for him before Ding Tao's death is known to people.

Ding Tao inwardly felt a little astonished, what Wang Chen Jin meant as a better place. The night was so quiet, that it felt everywhere as lonely, or perhaps Wang Chen Jin wanted to talk while sitting around in a bit of comfort? That is what it means, he thought in his heart.

Meanwhile Wang Chen Jin's eyes were pounded on a well that was near the place, in his heart he cheered, but outside his face did not change.

"Let's go over there."

"All right"

Both of them walked towards the well in silence. DingTao who did not know what to say and Wang Chen Jin who was tensely looking forward to the right moment to finish him off.

The closer to that well, Wang Chen Jin's heart was pounding even more. Ding Tao who should not be able to look into Wang Chen Jin's heart, suddenly felt his heart pounding.

Like getting a warning, Ding Tao could sense a danger threatening him.

It is difficult to explain whether there is indeed help from gods who protect good people.

Or is it Ding Tao's subconscious that works, translating the inputs, the oddities of Wang Chen Jin, and before Ding Tao's consciousness comes to a conclusion, his intuition has first reached a conclusion.

If it is to be debated between those who believe in the existence of gods and those who do not believe it, it will certainly never be found a meeting point.But surely Ding Tao's intuition has saved his life.

When the sword was pulled out, the sound of the sword eyes rubbing against the sheath, sounded like a thunderous glint in Ding Tao's ears that had been tense since. Ding Tao's instincts made him jump quickly, throwing his body away from the source of the sound.

Even his clothes in a short time became dirty full of dust due to rolling on the ground, but there was no time to think about all the small things.

In front of him stood an enemy who would finish him off if he neglected a blink of an eye.

Wang Chen Jin who did not expect that his sudden attack would miss, was a few seconds late to continue his attack.

Those few short seconds were enough for Ding Tao to jump to his feet and pull out a sword.

For a moment the two faced each other, like a repetition of the fight a few days before, for the second time two young men with far-reaching nature faced each other to pit the sharpness of the sword and the hardness of the fist.

Wang Chen Jin who was more careful this time did not want to rush to attack as in the previous fight.Ding Tao who did basically dislike conflict and was a lot of careful in doing everything.

Both of them stood still with swords in hand.

Ding Tao prepared in the opening position of the first of the 3 basic moves of the Huang family sword. The right hand holding the sword extended forward with the tip leaning towards the ground, the left hand crossed in front of the chest. The right foot in front, while the left foot in back, supporting the body that stands evenly balanced.

Wang Chen Jin, standing upright, both legs slightly stretched, slightly bent and resting on the front end of the soles of the feet. The right hand holds the sword, crossed in front of the chest and the left hand prepares at the waist.

This time Wang Chen Jin did not want to fail for the umpteenth time, Ding Tao's agility, dodging his sudden attack made him much more cautious.

No longer did he judge the young man as he had in the previous fight.

Especially now that he had the interest to finish off the young man as soon as possible, in his mind flashed the attack style and how Ding Tao would later try to overcome it.

Suddenly it was realized how sturdy the defense of the young man before him was. Wang Chen Jin's scattered heart when he realized this, from this experience opened his mind, that even the basic moves had their own depth.

There might be dozens of people taking the opening like Ding Tao, but were they able to make it a solid fortress like he saw it today?

Position elbows, wrists and swords, ready to block any attack from the front. The movement of fending off attacks, how many combinations there were, was basically not much different, and Ding Tao's overall top body standing allowed him to fend off each attack as best he could.

If Wang Chen Jin tried to avoid the barrier in front by switching positions to the other side, Ding Tao's foot position also allowed him to change direction quickly.

Even it could turn around to harm Wang Chen Jin if he was not careful, because it could also happen that Ding Tao would move quickly straight ahead and cut off his movements, he said, as in the previous fight.Thus Wang Chen Jin was acting cautiously.

Ding Tao who looked like a solid fortress in Wang Chen Jin's eyes, was actually no less pounding.

He noticed Wang Chen Jin's light horses, though,

like an arrow ready to escape from his bow, but in which direction the arrow will slide really he could not guess.

The sword crossed and the fist hidden behind him.Getting the sword move, forgetting the fist can be dangerous.

But instead a hidden fist can be a distraction while the sword movement that opens the attack, is actually taking the position to attack.

In tension Ding Tao dwells waiting for the opponent to take the initiative first.The one who wants to attack can not immediately attack.

Those who are defending do not dare to move and open opportunities for opponents to attack.

Had Ding Tao had more experience it might have been different.If Wang Chen Jin knew the opponent's concerns before him, it might have been different.
