At dusk, the lingering glow in the sky resembled blood, casting a particularly magnificent view of the scenery below Huanghe Mountain in the setting sun. At the mountaintop, Zen Chuan and Xuanchi stood side by side, their silhouettes elongated by the slanting sunlight, as if merging with the mountains and rivers. 0
 
Xuanchi turned to look at Zen Chuan with a rare softness in his gaze. He spoke slowly, with the demeanor of a generation's sword master: " Zen Chuan, your performance at this martial arts convention has impressed many. Your swordsmanship has reached the realm of unity of heart and sword." 0
 
 
Zen Chuan With a slight smile, there was a hint of pride in her expression, but more so, there was a deep dedication and passion for the way of the sword: " Xuanchi, your swordsmanship is truly admirable. Each of your strikes seems to guide me, deepening my understanding of the way of the sword." 0
 
As she spoke, she gently drew the short sword "Phantom Night" from her waist. The blade shimmered with a faint light under the setting sun. At the peak of Mount Huanghe, the lingering radiance of the sunset dyed the sky a tinge of orange. Two figures stood facing each other in this breathtaking scene, one still and the other in motion, creating a captivating image. Zen Chuan lightly gathered her long hair, holding the "Phantom Night" short sword in one hand, lightly touching the ground with the tip of the blade, her eyes revealing a subtle but unwavering determination. 0
 
 
" Xuanchi, do you know that today's dance is not just a sword fight, but also a clash of hearts," said Zen Chuan in a deep and powerful voice, as if each word was bursting from the tip of a sword and piercing the Fu Ton. 0
 
Xuanchi lightly parted his thin lips and spoke with an icy tone, " Zen Chuan, your sword dance may deceive the world, but it's difficult to touch my path. Today, I want to see how your 'Phantom Night' competes with my ' Cold Star'." 0
 
 
As soon as the words fell, Xuanchi also refused to show weakness. The " Cold Star " longsword in his hand was unsheathed, its blade transparent as water, its sword light cold and sharp. His swordsmanship was firm yet flexible, every move filled with strength and beauty, forming a sharp contrast with Zen Chuan's sword dance. 0
 
His longsword seemed to cut through the void, bringing bursts of cold Fu Ton, directly aimed at Zen Chuan. Each move seemed to condense the cold air from the mountaintops, extremely compelling. 0
 
 
Zen Chuan Without changing her expression, her "illusionary night" danced gracefully with every agile movement, each spin creating a dazzling display of sword flowers. It seemed as if every step was meticulously calculated, showcasing both the grace of a woman and the sharpness of a warrior. 0
 
As the sun gradually set, the intensity of their sword dance increased. Zen Chuan After a nimble somersault, she landed lightly on a giant rock and smiled faintly, " Xuanchi, your swordsmanship is indeed exquisite, but it seems to lack a bit of variation." 0
 
 
Xuanchi With a cold snort, the tip of the sword pointed towards the sky, a chilling sword energy swept across all directions: "Watch the sword!" Then, his figure flashed and turned into a cold light, swiftly attacking towards Zen Chuan. This sword gathered the essence of his lifelong swordsmanship, containing both the fierceness of the Heavenly Sword Palace and his personal unique insights. 0
 
Zen Chuan Her eyes flashed, she did not directly confront Xuanchi's attack, but cleverly used the tip of her sword to guide the opponent's sword energy, causing it to deviate from its path. Then, she lightly turned her figure, as if anticipating Xuanchi's next move, and placed "Illusory Night" in Xuanchi's inevitable path. 0
 
 
Xuanchi frowned slightly, not expecting that Zen Chuan could so easily neutralize his full-force attack. As their swords brushed past each other, he looked deeply into her eyes, as if in that moment, he saw a level of swordsmanship he had never encountered before. 0
 
" Zen Chuan, you've won," Xuanchi sheathed his sword, his voice carrying unmistakable admiration. 0
 
 
Zen Chuan also immediately put away the sword, with a slight smile mixed with a few points of humility: " Xuanchi, victory or defeat is just a momentary thing, the real opponent is oneself." 0
 
The two looked at each other and smiled. The competition between sword moves was fleeting, but the spiritual exchange left a deep impression. This scene on the peak of Mount Huanghe was destined to become an indelible memory in their hearts. 0
 
 
Two people danced with their swords on the mountaintop, as if engaged in a silent dialogue. Although their swordsmanship styles were vastly different, at this moment, they seemed to have achieved a kind of wondrous harmony. Each time their sword tips met, it sparked tiny flames, illuminating the surrounding air. 0
 
Gradually, their movements slowed down, eventually coming to a stop at the final stance. " Cold Star " of Xuanchi and "Phantom Night" of Zen Chuan stood facing each other, their sword tips locked, yet neither advancing an inch. 0
At this moment, everything around seems to have come to a standstill. The lingering glow of the setting sun casts the shadows of the two on the vast mountains, as if in this world of martial arts, the way of the sword and love are intertwining in the most beautiful way. 0
 
Zen Chuan Gently sheathing the sword, Xuanchi likewise. The two exchange a smile, a smile that contains too many emotions: respect for the way of the sword, appreciation for each other, and hope for the future. 0
 
 
Zen Chuan Gently opening her vermilion lips, her voice was clear and pleasant: " Xuanchi, our exploration in the way of the sword is like the journey of life, endless. Today, we can dance with our sword shadows on the peak of Mount Huanghe, it is fate, and also cultivation." 0
 
Xuanchi nodded, a sense of agreement flashed in his eyes: "Indeed. The way of the sword is like life, whether it's the Fu Ton and rain or the hardships, they are all the nourishment for our growth. It is a rare fortune in my life to explore the mysteries of the sword with you." 0
 
 
As the night deepened, the two stood side by side, gazing at the distant starry sky, filled with infinite expectations for the martial arts world. No matter how rough the road ahead may be, as long as there is a sword in the heart, it can illuminate the path forward. 0
 
On this night, the stars above the peak of Mount Huanghe were particularly brilliant, as if to witness the unity of heart and sword of these two martial arts masters and bless their future. The figures of Zen Chuan and Xuanchi will also become legendary tales in the martial arts world, inspiring generations of warriors to constantly pursue the ultimate realm of swordsmanship. 0
 
 
As the night falls, the starlight gradually surrounds the peak of the Yellow Crane Tower, and the figures of Zen Chuan and Xuanchi stand out particularly under the faint starlight. At this moment, the mountain breeze carries a hint of chill, but it cannot conceal the intense aura emanating from the two. 0
 
Xuanchi stands still, his gaze as sharp as Cold Star, his figure appearing even more upright in the night breeze. The long sword " Cold Star " in his hand glimmers with a cold light under the starlight, as if echoing the stars in the night sky. A barely perceptible smile appears at the corner of Xuanchi's mouth as he says, " Zen Chuan, your sword dance is indeed beautiful, but true swordsmanship requires not only beauty, but also power. Come, let me see if your sword can withstand my full force." 0
 
 
Zen Chuan A faint smile, she knew Xuanchi that it was not just about competing swordsmanship with her, but also about jointly exploring the true meaning of the way of the sword under the starry sky. She lightly tucked her long hair behind her ear, assuming a fighting stance, and said, " Xuanchi, your sword may be cold, but my 'Phantom Night' can strike unexpectedly. Come, let our swords speak." 0
 
With that, Zen Chuan swiftly moved like a ghost in the night, her "Phantom Night" sword shimmering with every swing, leaving behind a hint of illusion that made it difficult to grasp its true trajectory. Her swordsmanship was no longer just beautiful, but also infused with agility and ingenuity, each move filled with variation, making it hard for Xuanchi to predict her next step. 0
 
 
Xuanchi raised an eyebrow, sensing that Zen Chuan's swordsmanship was displaying a style quite different from her usual. He knew this was the unique wit and cunning of Zen Chuan, and it was precisely this character that made her swordsmanship even more unpredictable. Instead of immediately retaliating, Xuanchi quietly observed Zen Chuan's movements, his eyes occasionally flashing with a serious light, seemingly contemplating a strategy. 0
 
Finally, as Zen Chuan launched an attack, Xuanchi moved. His figure seemed to flicker like a phantom, each strike precise and unstoppable, exuding an indomitable momentum in his swordsmanship. His " Cold Star " clashed with Zen Chuan's "Phantom Night" in the night sky, creating a crisp symphony of metal, each sound seemingly telling the Xuanchi of swordsmanship. 0
 
 
As time passed, the two of them became more and more fierce in their swordsmanship, as if cutting through the surrounding air. Xuanchi's attacks became increasingly intense, with each strike carrying the force of Fu Ton and thunder. Although Zen Chuan was able to skillfully resolve most of the attacks, the pressure was also increasing. 0
 
Just as their swordplay reached its climax, Xuanchi suddenly sheathed his sword, swiftly retreated, and stood still, looking deeply at Zen Chuan, with a hint of change in his cold and stern eyes. He calmly said, " Zen Chuan, tonight, you have shown me another possibility of swordsmanship. Your sword indeed has its unique qualities." 0
 
 
Zen Chuan also stopped immediately, she gently exhaled, and her smile became even brighter: " Xuanchi, your swordsmanship is indeed powerful, but sometimes, change and wit are equally important. In tonight's exchange, I also gained a lot of insight." 0
 
The two looked at each other again and smiled, with recognition and respect for each other's swordsmanship in their smiles. Under the brilliant starry sky, their spirits seemed to reach a kind of wonderful resonance along with their sword moves. 0
 
 
The gentle night breeze swept away the tense atmosphere of battle, leaving behind a sense of peace and harmony. In this moment, they were no longer opponents, but rather companions, embarking together on the long journey to seek the true essence of the way of the sword. 0
