On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of that year, a blood moon appeared in the sky.

Everyone in the world knows that the blood moon is a once-in-a-lifetime celestial phenomenon, which is a bad omen and the beginning of troubled times. In an instant, undercurrents of forces from all sides are surging, and everyone knows that troubled times are coming, and the best way to deal with it is to seize the opportunity first.

And the very next day, news came out in the arena: Li Chanyi, the top master in the arena, was about to pass away, so a Bagua array was set up in the bamboo forest by the Yonghuai River. Anyone who broke the array would get Li Chanyi's biography.

Kung Fu and lifelong learning.

This news soon shocked the world, and masters from various families mobilized one after another. Li Chanyi was known as the unparalleled number one in the world. If he could learn what he had learned throughout his life, he would be close to becoming the second number one in the world.

Far away.

*

On the evening of the 19th day of the first lunar month, the bamboo forest by the Yonghuai River was dark. Not only was it dark, it was also quiet. Under the quietness, there seemed to be a surging undercurrent.

"Master, we have been guarding here for two days. If no one can break out of the formation, do we really have to stay near this bamboo fence all the time?" At the entrance of the Bagua Array, a young man squatted under a tree.

asked in a low voice.

"That's natural. You have to know that this is the death of Li Chanyi! Let alone a day or two, even if it lasts for half a year, it's still worth it."

The young man who answered was a young man in black named Yan Li. He was in his early twenties. His appearance seemed a bit ordinary at first glance, but his features revealed a bit of heroism.

"Li Chanyi, the number one person in the world, is he really that powerful?" the young man asked in disbelief.

"Of course they are extremely powerful," Yan Li replied, "There are countless top masters in the world, but there are only two who dare to call themselves the 'number one'. One is the Heavenly Master who guards the An City, and he is known as the best in martial arts.

The first person in the temple, who protects the country and worships heaven, has invincible magic skills; the other one is this

The number one person in the world, Li Chanyi, has Zen knowledge and the style of an immortal. You may not have seen with your own eyes where Li Chanyi’s martial arts is so powerful, but just by the way he entered the formation he set up from this bamboo fence in the past two days,

The high status of the master can prove Li Chanyi's strength."

"Who is more powerful, Master Tianshi or this Li Chan Yizhong?" the young man asked.

"No one knows about this issue," Yan Li shook his head, "These two have never fought against each other, but I think that if they really fought against each other, the murderous aura emanating from their bodies would be enough to overthrow the entire Yonghuai River.

Come on."

After hearing this, the young man's eyes widened in disbelief, "So scary!"

"Of course." Yan Li sighed.

The young man who called Yan Li "Master" fell silent and looked in the direction of the bamboo fence with bright eyes. The bamboo fence was the only entrance to the Bagua Array set up by Li Chanyi, so no matter whether it was any force in the world, if he wanted to enter

The formation must pass through the bamboo fence. In the past two days, their master and apprentice, as well as several other masters of the Yan family, have been hiding near the bamboo fence and have witnessed countless disciples of martial arts families entering the Bagua formation.

"Someone is here again." Yan Li said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man next to him heard the sound of footsteps. Everyone in the Yan family hid themselves in a few willow trees. Looking down from a high place, they saw a man in Tsing Yi wearing a blue cloak walking from far to near.

, holding a long sword in his hand and a handsome face.

"Master, who is that person?"

"Gao family, long sword Gao Yun." Yan Li replied attentively.

"Long Sword Gaoyun?" The young man tilted his head, "Is it very powerful?"

"The Gao family is good at long swords. The sword body is long and slender, and the sword energy has a wide killing range. However, it can hurt others without hurting yourself. You will win when you cross swords." Yanli said in a deep voice.

"It sounds very strong." The young man exclaimed.

"The people who have appeared in front of this bamboo fence in the past few days are all top masters in the world. You must remember their faces." Yan Li said.

"Disciple understands." The young man replied.

The two continued to observe. Gao Yun's purpose was obviously to break the Bagua formation set up by Li Chanyi, the leader in the world. He was accompanied by two men in black. One of the men cupped his hand and said

: "Young Master Gao, have you really thought about it?"

Gao Yun also cupped his hands: "It is my lifetime honor to be able to see the Eight Diagrams Formation set up by Immortal Li Chanyi. Since he is willing to invite people to come and break the formation, I am willing to take the risk and give it a try."

"Young Master, you must be careful!" His men knelt down on one knee, "No matter whether we can break the formation or not, we must return to the Gao family alive!"

"Don't worry." Gao Yun said, then stepped forward and opened the bamboo fence.

As his figure gradually disappeared in the bamboo forest, the two men also left silently.

In an instant, the forest returned to a quiet state.

"Master," after a while, the young man couldn't bear the loneliness and said again, "of all the people who have entered the bamboo forest before, how many of them do you think you can defeat?"

Yan Li couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "Masters compete with each other, and victory or defeat can be determined in an instant. How do you want me to answer when you ask me like this?"

"I just want to see how powerful Master is." The young man raised his head and said rather willfully.

"Master is not that powerful, he is just a subordinate loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince," Yan Li said, "However, take Gao Yun just now as an example, if it is not a head-on confrontation, but using the assassination skills of our Yan family,

I'm still confident that I can hit it with one blow."

"Haha, Master is really awesome." After hearing this, the young man arched his eyebrows and showed a smile on his pretty face.

"Shaosong, there is one thing you must remember," Yan Li was silent for a moment, without responding to the young man's compliment, and suddenly said, "In battles on the rivers and lakes, there is no victory or defeat, only life and death."

"Disciple, remember—" the young man said, "Ah, someone is here again."

Not long after, they saw the figure of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He was riding a horse and holding the reins in his hands. At this moment, the banks of the Yonghuai River were crowded with experts. In addition to Yan Li and others, there were countless forces.

Hidden around, but the young man seemed completely unaware of it. There were sounds of horse hooves, and he patted the horse's back while shouting "Drive! Drive!"

Behind him, there were faint sounds of the hoofbeats of several other horses, which were equally loud.

"Young Patriarch! Young Patriarch! Oh, my sister-in-law and grandpa! Come back quickly!"

When the young man heard the shouting, he turned around and saw his face clearly appeared in front of Yan Li and others.

He is actually a handsome young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, extremely fair skin, facial features between delicate and tough, and eyes like stars.

The young man's expression showed panic at this moment. He shouted "Drive!" again, and then jumped off the horse. His movements were crisp and clear, and he headed straight for the bamboo fence.

"Master?" The young man beside Yanli turned his head, with surprise in his eyes.

Not only the young man, Yan Li was also very surprised at this moment. In the past two days, the two of them had met many people who came to break the Bagua formation, but they were the first to enter the formation so hastily. Looking at the posture of this young man now

, it’s not like he’s here to break the formation, but rather like he’s just trying to avoid being chased by the people behind him.

"Young Master, stop!" The people chasing behind him were obviously too anxious to care about their manners. A group of black figures jumped off their horses one after another, with wind blowing under their feet. However, they did not attack the young man. Instead, they all attacked him.

Kneel down.

"Young Master, please stay!"

The young man's footsteps finally stopped, and he turned around, his face showing both passion and determination, as well as fearlessness and determination.

"Elder Lin, just let me go!" The young man said with powerful words and a clear voice, "Li Chanyi is about to pass away. Tianqi has not been lucky enough to meet his immortal spirit. Now the immortal has set this up before leaving.

I must try the Bagua array on the banks of the Yonghuai River today!"

"Tianqi?" Yan Li repeated softly, "This name seems familiar..."

"Tian Qi! Don't act recklessly!" At this moment, a voice shouted sternly.

The shadows of the trees swayed in the bamboo forest, and a figure came belatedly riding a horse.

There is another young man, wearing blue silk clothes, his eyebrows are somewhat similar to that of the young man called "Tian Qi", but the difference is that he is slightly older, has a serious expression, and has a majestic appearance.

The movement of dismounting seems casual, but every step he takes carries a certain majesty.

"Brother." The young man looked a little panicked and panted. When he saw this person, the panic on his face became even more serious. "Brother, just let me try."

"Don't talk nonsense!" the young man's brother said sternly. "You are still young in cultivation. Going to break the formation is tantamount to seeking death!"

"You're right, maybe my cultivation is not enough for me to break through the Jiuzhou Heavenly Formation set up by Immortal Li Chanyi." After hearing this, the young man clenched his hands into fists and said in a clear voice, "If I follow you today

When I go back, I can still safely be the young head of the Fang family, but Master has said that for people who practice martial arts, the growth of their skills often does not lie in practicing day and night, but more in the chance moments between life and death!"

"Fang Tianqi!" The young man frowned coldly, "Stand back!"

When the young man heard this, he did not move forward. Instead, he took a few steps back towards the bamboo fence, "Brother! Senior Li Chanyi's Nine Provinces Heavenly Formation is an opportunity that must not be missed!"

The young man sneered, "It sounds grand, but do you know that you are the only head of our Fang family now!"

"If I can't come out today, I'll let you be the head of the family." The young man smiled freely, "Anyway, only my brother can shoulder the heavy burden!"

"Fang Tianqi——" The young man trembled angrily, but before he could say more, he had already opened the bamboo fence.

"Stop!" The young man's feet trembled, and Fang Tianqi saw the wind blowing under his feet. He ran towards the depths of the bamboo forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The men beside him quickly supported him.

"Master, what should we do? Do we want to chase him?"

The young man looked at the bamboo fence and was silent for a long time. "No, don't chase me." He threw away his men and slumped to the ground. The originally majestic and energetic face suddenly became a little tired.

"Once you enter this Bagua formation, it will be difficult to get out. Even if you enter, it will not help."

"What should the young master do?" After hearing this, his subordinates asked anxiously.

The young man forced himself to stand up and said, "Gather people to surround the entire bamboo forest beside the Yonghuai River. If you see the young master, you must help him. As for whether he can get out of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Formation..."

He looked at the mist deep in the bamboo forest, sighed, and slowly uttered four words: "Leave it to fate."
