There were many powerful techniques shown in Wind and Cloud. For Example, Sword 23 created by the Sword Saint on Sanfen Field emphasized on the unyielding spirit that warriors should have when facing nature and their fates.
This spirit overshadowed everything else.
This movie didn’t contain frightening strength, but it showed the swordsman’s tireless pursuit for the ultimate Sword Dao despite the limit of their physical strength.
It was a road of reaching Dao through techniques. The perfect sword technique was the resemblance of Sword Dao. Without being overpowered by insane and brute strength, the Sword Dao was clear and pure.
As the movie went on, the audience followed the characters into the ancient and prosperous nation and the magnificent and luxurious Forbidden City which was the royal city.
After passing Taihe Gate, they saw the grand palace covered in golden glazed tiles. Under the moonlight, it looked like a world made of gold.
“Look! Is the duel about to begin?!” Standing before the royal city, Dong Qingli was excited as she stood in the crowd who were here to watch the duel.
“Senior Sister, is this the royal city?” Mu Qing looked around while grabbing Yue Bai’s hand. Beside them, Jiang Xiaoyue also glanced around curiously standing with a big white deer. The bright moon shone on the boisterous crowds.
“Here he is! Here he is!” Nalan Hongwu, Zong Wu, and other warriors were also standing before the grand palace, and they looked up over the eaves of the building.
“Is he Ximen Chuixue?”
In the moonlight, they saw a figure flying over with his white clothes fluttered in the wind.
Only after seeing him would people truly understand the feeling of the phrase, ‘a type of people who are close to being gods.’
Just as he said, “My sword is not for show.”
“When you pierce your sword into their throats and see the bloodflower bloom out around your sword tip, you’ll know that nothing in the world is as beautiful as the radiance of that moment.”
His sword techniques were for killing.
These types of sword techniques couldn’t contain any impurities including emotions and feelings.
People crammed the space around the grand palace, including the audience from the shops in Yuanyang City, Jiuhua City, and Half City.
They all craned their necks to watch the duel.
The moon was overhead now. Standing on the ridge of the roof that looked to be made from gold and glass, the two men were all dressed in spotless white clothes.
“They look so powerful…” Jiang Xiaoyue watched with widened eyes. She glanced around and found that everyone around her was also watching with their eyes wide open.
At this moment, standing on the roof of the grand palace, Ximen Chuixue raised his sword expressionlessly and said, “This sword is one of the sharpest weapons in the world. The blade is three feet seven inches long, and the total weight is 7.13 pounds.”
Ye Gucheng said, “Good sword!”
Then, Ye Gucheng lifted his sword as well and said, “This blade is the best out of all the chilly swords from overseas. It will cut through hair if you blow on it. The blade is three feet three inches long, and it’s extremely sharp with a total weight of 6.4 pounds.”
Both had lifted their swords but didn’t unsheathe them. Drawing the sword was an integral part of sword techniques. Obviously, they wanted to compete in any area within the range of swordsmanship.
“So cool!” Song Qingfeng wished that it was he who was standing on the roof, wondering how they could appear so dashing in a duel!
“Should we copy them after we finish watching the movie…” Standing beside him, Lin Shao suggested imitating this duel afterwards.
Watching the mysterious incidents one after another, the audience began to understand the truth behind the postponing of the duel. The scheme of assassinating the emperor and trying to rebel helped the audience to better understand the characters who were both intelligent and complicated.
Ye Gucheng, the Castellan of White Cloud City, seemed to be a lofty god.
He was a proud and horrifying person; his sword technique, Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens, was as impeccable and spotless as the white clouds in the blue sky.
His mind was as unfathomable as the abyss and the ocean.
The audience began to understand the unique magnificence of this world shown in the movie.
If they had watched the duel right after Fang Qi’s shops were opened, they wouldn’t have been enthralled and wouldn’t find these sword techniques exciting and grand.
Before their swords connected, they moved their positions slowly but constantly, but the sword blades changed positions swiftly since the swords moved with their minds before using the techniques.
Having a deep understanding of swordsmanship, only Nalan Hongwu could perceive the horrifying power of this realm. Regardless of how someone tried to dodge or duck, they would face an ultimate sword strike which was perfect in every way including the spirit, essence, speed, force, position, and all other related elements.
They showed a nearly perfect control of their swords. It seemed their sword moved with their minds, and people felt like there was no need for time to react.
More horrifying was that no matter how their sword techniques, their positions, and their opponents’ positions changed, Nalan Hongwu was sure that the sword techniques they used in the next moment would still be perfect.
The audience had never imagined that such a combat method existed in the world.
Now, the audience could only see the moving of the blades and the swordsmen, but neither of them used their techniques yet.
But Nalan Hongwu understood the duel. He could even see the countless duels in the slightest move of their blades.
With their nearly perfect control, when they spotted the tiniest opportunity, they would instantly turn the changes and variations that existed in the ‘void’ into a solid and perfect sword strike!
Without the disguise of great strength and the show of force, others could see the underlying principles better.
Finally, the viewers saw the two use their sword techniques.
At this moment, the stars and the moon dimmed. All the light in the world gathered on the two swords.
They each used only one sword strike.
At this moment, exclamations erupted all over the shop.
They saw that Ye Gucheng’s sword was like a gust beyond the white clouds.
However, an invisible thread seemed to be tied to Ximen Chuixue’s sword, and it represented his wife, his families, and his emotions.
There was the tiniest gap between them.
Nalan Hongwu, Zong Wu, and the cultivators including Gu Tingyu all opened their mouths, trying to yell but couldn’t as if something strangled their throats.
The whole place was silent.
The moon and stars disappeared in the sunlight radiated from the morning sun from the east!
However, the audience saw Ye Gucheng lie in a pool of blood, the man who had looked like an immortal and a white cloud in the blue sky.
When all his schemes collapsed, he had decided to die under Ximen Chuixue’s sword, which was the last honor of a swordsman.
Perhaps at this moment, two names were branded in the minds of the viewers.
The names were as lofty as immortals and gods.
This duel was printed into their minds as well.
Like poetry, the saying goes, [On the night of the full moon, on the peak of Forbidden City, a sword came from the west, flying immortal beyond the heavens.]
A long while later, they snapped back to reality.
“Ahh-! Awesome!” After watching the movie, Song Qingfeng almost roared.
“A sword came from the west, flying immortal beyond the heavens…” Nalan Hongwu murmured these two sentences. Despite his great age and experience, his eyes turned red with deep feelings.
Su Tianji took out her Black Snow Godly Sword and lifted it while saying, “This sword is one of the sharpest weapons in the world. The blade is three feet seven inches long, and the total weight is 7.13 pounds.”
She felt very cool while saying it.
Palace Master Xue Daolv saw this, and his face twitched.
Damn it! It’s Black Snow, not the sword in the movie!
Then, Nalan Mingxue took out her Snow-Drinking Saber and said coldly, “This blade is the best out of all the chilly swords from overseas. It will cut through hair if you blow on it. The blade is three feet three inches long, and it’s extremely sharp with a total weight of 6.4 pounds!”
She felt great about herself!
The others had tears on their faces.
Damn it! This is a blatant show-off!
