In the valley, the bright moon hangs high, shining brightly.
Under the bright moonlight, a swordsman in blue was reflected.
Liang Yan was suspended in mid-air, looking around, and saw that the night was thick, everything was quiet, and there was no aura fluctuation at all.
"interesting!"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Liang Yan's mouth.
This Jianyin technique is indeed mysterious. It can actually hide your body in front of him. Among saints, I am afraid that only the Jianyin lineage can do this...
While he was thinking about it, the night suddenly tore open behind him, and a light blue sword light swept towards him like a wave of autumn water.
"Oh."
Liang Yan was well prepared, turned around and struck out with his sword, blocking his opponent's sword light.
But at this moment, the surrounding void changed, and strange sword energy pierced out from unexpected directions.
Each ray of sword energy is different, and they cooperate with each other to form a mysterious sword formation, trapping him in the middle.
"Huh?"
Liang Yan looked carefully and seemed to find something, and murmured to himself: "This is... the Nine Palaces?"
Before he could figure it out carefully, the overwhelming sword energy was already swarming in. Liang Yan could only urge the "Ling Deer Sword" to rise into the sky, trying to escape from this sword formation.
However, the other party seemed to have already arrived at the direction of his action.
The moment Liang Yan soared into the air, the surrounding sword energy followed closely behind him, like countless swimming fish, trapping him tightly and preventing him from escaping.
"The secret water of Kan Palace changes invisible!"
Although it was the first time for Liang Yan to see the opponent's swordsmanship, he had a very high vision and could tell at a glance that Su Xiaodie had integrated the knowledge of "Nine Palaces" into his own swordsmanship.
"It seems that Yan Yizhou is right. If he can integrate the knowledge of the Nine Palaces into his own Taoism, he can indeed exert unexpected power..."
He secretly praised in his heart, but he kept using the techniques in his hands.
The "Ling Deer Sword" moves according to the heart, showing the heavenly sword force and the earth sword force, switching between offense and defense, as if commanded by an arm.
The two were fighting swords under the moonlight, and although Liang Yan got the upper hand, the "Three Talents Sword" was not the first swordsmanship to begin with. The secret of this swordsmanship is the transformation of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, endlessly and endlessly.
at.
Su Xiaodie used sneak attacks to gain the upper hand, but she still couldn't defeat Liang Yan.
After fighting for more than a hundred moves like this, Liang Yan's eyes suddenly flashed and he looked somewhere in the dark night.
"After playing for so long, it should be over, right?"
He chuckled, and the sword light in front of him suddenly surged, instantly swaying away the layers of sword energy around him, and creating a passage from Su Xiaodie's sword formation.
brush!
Escape light and break through the air, extremely fast.
In a blink of an eye, Liang Yan arrived at the place where his eyes were just now, and then with a finger, the Linglu Sword rushed out and stabbed into the void in front of him.
Pfft...
There was just a crisp sound, and the void tore apart, revealing a slender figure.
It is Su Xiaodie who has disappeared for a long time!
But the strange thing is that even though she was forced to reveal her body, she didn't seem to be panic at all. Instead, she showed a proud smile.
"Haha, Lu Xuanji, you fell into the trap!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a sudden burst of sword energy in front of her, and green threads were wrapped around Liang Yan's body, binding him tightly from top to bottom.
"This is...the thread transformed by sword energy?"
Liang Yan's eyes showed surprise.
Condensing swords into silk is a magical power that I realized in the Antarctic Fairy Continent. I didn't expect that the other party also had this method.
However, the power of this sword wire is far less than his own. It is not used to attack, but to block the enemy's actions.
Sure enough, Liang Yan soon felt that a sealing force was exerted on him, which made his movement speed and mana flow much slower.
"Hypocrite, let me show you my 'Flying Butterfly'!"
Su Xiaodie smiled brightly, spread her hands, and thousands of butterflies flew out from her sleeves.
These butterflies are colorful and exquisite! In just a moment, the silent night is illuminated by all kinds of rays of light, just like flowers in bloom, gorgeous and dazzling!
It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery is deadly...
Every butterfly was transformed by Su Xiaodie's sword energy, overwhelming and attacking Liang Yan.
"Hurry up and admit defeat!" Su Xiaodie said proudly.
"Admit defeat?" Liang Yan chuckled: "Are you afraid that you made a mistake?"
"Hmph, you're such a tough talker! I'm going to whip you a few times later to let you know the consequences of offending me..."
Before Su Xiaodie finished speaking, her eyes suddenly widened.
Lu Xuanji's aura suddenly surged, and he was like a tiger out of the cage, breaking the sword threads wrapped around his arms and waist. Then he flashed and was already in front of her!
"How is that possible?!"
Su Xiaodie's eyes showed an expression of disbelief.
Her move "Sealing Dust Sword" can seal the opponent's mana and restrict the opponent's actions. Not to mention a mere monk who has overcome six difficulties, even most sub-sages cannot break through the seal in such a short period of time.
But now that the facts were like this, the other party was already in front of her, and she couldn't allow her to think too much.
As her mind was spinning, Su Xiaodie pinched her spell and used the "Sealing Dust Sword" again, but this time it was her opponent's sword pill that was sealed.
I saw layers of sword energy like a silkworm chrysalis, sealing the Linglu Sword inside.
At the same time, Su Xiaodie turned around on the spot, like a butterfly dancing, with sword energy surrounding her body, stabbing at many vital points on Liang Yan's body.
Liang Yan laughed in mid-air: "They say roses have thorns, and it's true!"
Facing Su Xiaodie's layers of sword energy, he actually didn't dodge or evade. He didn't even bother to unblock his own sword pills, and just bullied her.
When the countless sword energy came in front of him, it was like a bow and arrow hitting a bronze bell. It only made a dull "buzzing" sound, and then sparks flew everywhere, and they were all bounced hundreds of feet away.
If the previous scene had surprised Su Xiaodie, this scene now shocked her!
"You, you...are you a monster?"
Su Xiaodie's pupils shrank and she subconsciously took a step back.
But Liang Yan had already knocked away all the oncoming sword energy and came to her face. The distance between the two was less than three feet.
"etc!"
Su Xiaodie was shocked and shouted: "This is not fair, I sealed half of it..."
Liang Yan chuckled, and before she could finish her words, he punched out hard, hitting the opponent's chest.
Bang!
Just hearing a muffled sound, Su Xiaodie flew backwards like a kite with its string broken, and did not stop until it hit the stone wall of the valley in the distance.
"I agree." Liang Yan floated in mid-air, raised his hands towards the hole in the stone wall and said with a smile.
Bang!
There was an explosion in the pit, several huge rocks rolled out, and then a slender girl emerged from the inside.
"Lu Xuanji, you are shameless! You have dealt such a harsh blow to a weak woman like me. I think you are not suitable for our Confucian League at all." Su Xiaodie said angrily.
Liang Yan looked calm and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is not a weak woman. You are the strongest person in Jian Yin's lineage. I'm afraid even an attack of this level won't be enough to scratch your itch."
He paused and then said: "But then again, I was lucky enough to win half of the moves. Fellow Taoist, you must keep your promise and teach me the art of sword concealment."
"No way!"
Su Xiaodie refused without thinking, and said coldly: "You are a hypocrite, deliberately hiding your strength. I didn't expect that you were also in the sword mind state, and made me claim half of my magic power, which is your fault! This is not a fair bet, a bet.
It doesn’t count!”
"I'm willing to admit defeat. It's really out of character for you to act like this. It would make people laugh if you spread the word." Liang Yan said lightly.
After hearing this, Su Xiaodie's face turned slightly red, and she did look a little confused.
But she only hesitated for a moment, then stamped her foot and said bitterly: "I am a little girl, what kind of grace do I need? If you have the ability, just tell me. I will be looked down upon by others at most, but you will be interrogated by those old men.
of!"
After saying that, he moved his hand to hold Mengli in his arms, and then his body flashed and disappeared into the night...
Looking at the woman's leaving figure, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
He did not step forward to stop her because he had already expected that with her character, she would definitely default on her debt.
But it is true that as the other party said, it is impossible for him to publicize this matter. After all, this kind of gambling can only be carried out in private and cannot be brought to the stage, otherwise it will attract the attention of all parties.
Although Su Xiaodie has an impulsive personality, she actually has a delicate heart and has already seen through Liang Yan's thoughts.
"Haha, it doesn't matter."
Liang Yan put away the Linglu Sword and dropped it from the night sky. He thought to himself: "Today's battle is just to make her feel guilty. Anyway, I already know the secret of Mengli and want to learn the art of sword concealment."
, we have to start with this spiritual beast..."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liang Yan's lips.
Today's battle made him more interested in the art of sword concealment.
This set of swordsmanship is indeed powerful. In the end, he relied on his own sword spirit to break it. If Su Xiaodie hadn't claimed half of her magic power, the outcome of this bet would have been hard to say...
"Becoming invisible, disappearing into the dust... It turns out that this woman is also in the sword heart state. I don't know what her sword heart is?"
Liang Yan put his hands behind his back, murmured to himself, and walked towards his cave...
The rest of the night was uneventful.
The next day, Liang Yan went to morning classes as usual, and then traveled among the mountains of the academy, where he met many monks one after another and gained a deeper understanding of the sect.
On the afternoon of the third day, Liang Yan appeared at the foot of Shuangjian Peak on time.
Looking from a distance, I saw Zhang Song waiting here for a long time.
He was dressed more formally today, wearing a Confucian scholar's robe and a turban on his head, neatly dressed.
"Brother Zhang, I've been waiting for a long time." Liang Yan stepped forward quickly and chuckled.
"Where, I just arrived."
Zhang Song looked Liang Yan up and down, and suddenly said seriously: "Brother Lu, the Hong Asan we are going to meet today is one of the few conservatives in the Hidden Sword Academy. You and I had better wear formal clothes to avoid causing trouble."
Unpleasant.”
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and immediately changed into a new outfit. It was the Confucian scholar's robe he received when he entered the school.
"I also have a 'Cold Warning Pill' here. Although the quality is not high, it can resist the cold of Frost Sword Peak to some extent. Fellow Taoist, please take it."
As Zhang Song spoke, he took out a pill from the storage ring, pointed his hand, and sent it to Liang Yan in the air.
Liang Yanqi asked: "Why do you still need the 'Cold Warning Pill'?"
Zhang Song smiled slightly: "My fellow Taoist, I don't know. This frost sword edge is the coldest place in the Sword Hidden Academy. It is said that many years ago, when a Confucian swordsman realized the Tao, he slashed out the sword light from the void and destroyed this place.
Life is extinct. Tens of thousands of years have passed, but here is still ice that has not melted for thousands of years. As the saying goes, 'Thousands of mountains and birds have disappeared, and thousands of people have disappeared.' This is what it means."
After hearing this, Liang Yan was even more surprised: "Then why did you choose to give lectures in this kind of place?"
"Because the sword points to the physical body, which is the first level of the lineage, Hong Asan chose to teach here, obviously to train everyone's physical strength."
"You actually want to cultivate your physical body?"
Liang Yan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but become a little curious about the secret technique of "Sword Finger".
"I don't know much about the details. I just heard my father say that today is my first time to study. Let's talk while walking."
"good."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, reached out to take the "Cold Warning Pill", and embarked on the mountain climbing journey with Zhang Song.
The two of them climbed along the mountain road. They didn't feel anything bad at first, but when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and the cold air became thicker and thicker, almost intruding into the body.
With Zhang Song's cultivation level, even after taking the "Cold Warning Pill", he couldn't help but shudder and his face looked much more solemn.
In contrast, Liang Yan is still full of life and energy, and no change can be seen at all.
"Fellow Taoist's physical strength is really powerful!" Zhang Song sighed.
"Haha, I had the opportunity in the secret realm to temper my body, so it is stronger than ordinary swordsmen." Liang Yan responded casually.
The Frost Sword Peak is indeed cold, but he is a sword spirit. Even those in the sub-saint realm may not be able to compete with him. Facing this cold air, even if he does not take the "Cold Warning Pill", he will not be able to
Is there any discomfort?
"I see... Taoist fellow Taoist has a profound blessing. No wonder he stood out in the talent recruitment assessment."
Zhang Song smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Hong Asan, whom we are going to meet today, is also a legendary figure. It is said that he was born in a mortal family. Because his family was poor, he was sold to a wealthy merchant as a slave at a very young age.
.Since then, he has not seen his parents, and does not even have their names. He only remembers that he is the third eldest child in the family, so he named himself 'Hong Asan'."
"oh?"
Liang Yan's heart moved, and he was vaguely curious about Hong Asan.
From a slave at the lowest level to the strongest person in the "Sword Finger" lineage of the Hidden Sword Academy, the span in between is too big.
Hong Asan’s life experience must be exciting enough!
The two of them walked and chatted, and soon reached the top of Frost Sword Peak.
At this point, the cold air was extremely cold, but Liang Yan was fine. Zhang Song beside him had already cast his body-protecting aura.
But even so, his body was still trembling slightly, and there were ice crystals on his eyebrows and lips.
"It's so cold..." Zhang Song said tremblingly.
Liang Yan nodded and glanced around, only to see a glacier on the top of the mountain. There were several futons floating on both sides of the glacier, with a monk sitting cross-legged on each futon.
The cultivation level of these monks is not high, and most of them are between overcoming two difficulties and overcoming four difficulties.
But none of them used the spiritual light to protect their body. They were all meditating on the futon, and even if the wind and snow came on, they didn't look any different...
