Chapter 53 Demon Sword Gentle (Seeking Pursuit)
Duan Yun redeemed the knife of the Murong brothers from the pawnshop.

Until now, he still feels the pain in his heart.

As he held the knife, it was hard to judge its value.

The pawn shop was willing to pay so much for it, so it must be the minimum price. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about knives. He just thought that the material and craftsmanship of the knife were very good. The feel of the handle alone was far superior to his broken iron sword.

But the blade of this knife is a bit blunt.

He took the knife to find Brother Murong and said, "This knife nearly bankrupted me."

Brother Murong smiled and said, "It seems that you will be as poor as me in the future."

Duan Yun saw his gloating look and said, "I'm poor, and you have nothing to eat."

Brother Murong said easily: "I always eat very little."

In fact, ever since Murong Ling'er came to them and Duan Yun insisted on not leaving, the Murong brothers, although still very lazy, were not as lazy as before.

He started to make a living.

The reason why he was so easily penetrated last time was because he didn’t eat enough.

"What's so particular about this knife?" Duan Yun said.

Apart from the good material and craftsmanship, the handle felt as delicate as touching a girl's hand. He really couldn't see how this knife could be worth so much silver.

Brother Murong shook his head and said, "Divine weapons are hard to come by. It seems that you don't know the value of a weapon better than the pawnshop owner."

As he said this, he took the knife.

I just saw him touch the blade with his hand, and then the blade and the handle separated.

Duan Yun was startled and thought something was wrong, but the next moment, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Wisps of cold air emanated from the hilt of the knife. As the environment was dim just now, it was only then that Duan Yun could see clearly that there was still a blade on the hilt.

It was just very thin, so thin that he had just overlooked it.

"The outer blade is actually the sheath, and the inner blade is the real one. The blade without this secret is already worth eight hundred taels, and the blade with this secret is worth eight thousand taels, and many people have fought over it until they were bloodied." The Murong brothers talked freely.

"Eight thousand taels?"

Duan Yun's eyes widened.

He had never seen so much silver.

“So, you made money.”

Brother Murong threw the knife over and said.

After hearing that the knife was worth at least eight thousand taels, Duan Yun liked the knife even more.

Expensive is good!

Good is expensive!

The sword was worth eight thousand taels, but it was pawned for eight hundred taels. If he hadn't come, Brother Murong probably wouldn't have redeemed it. The main reason was that he was so poor that he had no money to redeem it. After all, not everyone was like him and could afford eight hundred taels of silver.

I can only say that Brother Murong really wanted to die before.

"What's the story behind this knife?" Duan Yun couldn't help but ask.

"This is a magic sword named 'Gentleness'. If you don't control it properly, it will devour its owner." Brother Murong said in a serious manner.

It is quite interesting that the sword named "Gentleness" is a magic sword that can easily devour its owner.

Duan Yun said: "A one-in-a-million genius in cultivation like me will not have such troubles."

At this time, the expressions of the Murong brothers became very complicated.

He felt that he did not owe Duan Yun anything if he was gentle to the other party, but if he passed on "Twelve Layers of Spring Rain" to the other party, it might cause a terrible disaster.

Now he lives like neither human nor ghost, all thanks to this ominous sword technique.

Although Duan Yun assured that he did not have a biological sister who was stranded outside, he could not guarantee that it would cause any other terrible changes.

But he is not a fussy person.

The other party was insisting on learning, and he had agreed to it, so he might as well give it to him!

It’s nice to have a fellow patient who is not afraid of death.

Those who practice martial arts either go crazy or insane, or are cursed and become neither human nor ghost.

So the Murong brothers pointed to the floor next to where the land deed was buried and said, "It's there." Duan Yun lifted the wooden board and saw that there was indeed a secret book.

Twelve layers of spring rain!
The Murong brothers were just about to give some pointers as a "teacher", but Duan Yun happily took the secret book and went out to practice swordplay on his own.

No one paid any attention to him.

To Duan Yun, he is a rare genius in cultivation, and he does not need any guidance from others for such simple things as learning the swordsmanship.

Brother Murong was depressed because he failed to become a teacher.

But he soon relaxed again.

"This 'Twelve Layers of Spring Rain' is the most mysterious and mysterious sword technique. He, a one-in-a-million swordsmanship genius, had to work very hard to master it. This fellow has suffered a lot!"

Yes, thinking about Duan Yun scratching his head because he had not found the method, the Murong brothers couldn't help but feel happy.

I'm telling you to be blindly confident!
Duan Yun had obtained the swordsmanship he had always wanted and had taken the most crucial step on the road to becoming a master of both swordsmanship and saber. It would be a lie for him to say he wasn't excited.

He hurried to the backyard, sat down cross-legged, and began to read the secret book carefully.

As he watched, Duan Yun revealed a slightly painful expression.

This sword technique is quite difficult, even more difficult than "The True Explanation of the Jade Sword".

Although there are similarities between sword techniques and knife techniques, sword techniques also have many professional terms.

This secret book taken out from the Twelve Sacred Valleys should have been handwritten by the ancestor of the Murong family. It carries an ancient and mysterious aura.

Obviously, when Master Murong wrote this secret book, he did not consider whether the novice swordsmanship could understand it.

He probably didn't expect that someone who had never learned swordsmanship would dare to challenge "Twelve Spring Rains" right away.

However, Duan Yun was not without a solution. He would just skip over the words that he did not understand and look at the secret book from a more macro perspective.

This is a bit like a fill-in-the-blank question in Chinese. As long as you consider the context, you can guess the answer.

As he watched, Duan Yun found that he seemed to understand things that he didn't quite understand before.

By this time, it was completely dark.

Duan Yun was certain that "Twelve Layers of Spring Rain" was indeed a profound and mysterious magical skill. Even with his supreme talent and wisdom, he spent almost three hours reading it before he could barely grasp the threshold.

Facing the moonlight, he practiced the jade sword stake while continuing to study the secret book.

For two consecutive days, Duan Yun was doing fill-in-the-blank questions.

It was not until the third day that he began to practice with the sword.

In fact, there are only three external moves in "Twelve Spring Rains": "Spring Equinox", "Qingzhe", and "Silk Rain Like Sorrow".

"Spring Equinox" mainly focuses on the word "equinox", and the moves emphasize sharpness; while "Qingzhe" emphasizes a sudden and violent blow of the knife, just like "spring thunder scaring away hundreds of insects"; "Silk Rain Like Sorrow" emphasizes swift and continuous knife techniques, like endless silk rain.

Each of these three moves has several variations.

This change is not common in swordsmanship, but Duan Yun enjoyed it very much.

Whether it's the sudden force of "Qingzhe", the sound of thunder coming from the blade, or the sharp knife of "Silk Rain Like Sorrow", it's as if you can see the east road from the west road of Penglai, and there is a feeling of exhilaration.

When the Murong brothers saw him practicing with the sword, they couldn't help but laugh.

These three sword techniques are just the appearance of "Twelve Layers of Spring Rain" and anyone can practice them.

But the key to the Twelve Layers of Spring Rain is the “Twelve Layers”.

The sword energy rotates one level after another continuously until it reaches the highest level of the twelfth level, destroying the heaven and the earth.

Duan Yun now has not even started learning, and even made many mistakes in practicing the simplest superficial moves of the Twelve Layers of Spring Rain.

It can be said that any third or fourth-rate swordsman would be better than Duan Yun in this skill.

Duan Yun's talent in swordsmanship can be said to be mediocre.

"He boasted so much before, saying that he had a one-in-a-million talent and was a master of decisions that would last forever. He said that he was even more powerful than me, but I actually believed some of it. What an idiot I am!"

The Murong brothers couldn't help but sigh.

After that, he went to sleep.

On this side, Duan Yun stopped practicing swordplay and said with emotion: "Okay, I just need to master this difficult dog-style move. Next, it's time for the part I'm more proficient in."

"Twelve layers of spring rain, turn!"

Duan Yun swung his sword, and the two sword energies merged and flew out in a rotation. Then, the third
