Standing at the bottom of the lake, Ye Cheng thought to himself that what he had thought was indeed good. The pressure under the water was extremely high, which suppressed the flow of Qi to a certain extent. Every movement he made was several times more difficult than before, even the body-protecting Qi. The flow in this water is not smooth. The strong energy that used to be airtight is now full of flaws and loopholes.
Continuously stimulating his true energy with all his strength, he was able to resist the pressure from all around, and with a firm mind, the giant slash in his hand began to rotate slowly. At this moment, because of the width of the giant slash, he had to use several times the strength to swing it.
The giant slash that was originally easy to use was now heavier than a thousand pieces of gold. It was because of the resistance of the water that Ye Cheng almost spent all his strength to fly.
While using his energy to resist the water pressure, he wielded giant slashes, which was very draining for Ye Cheng. He soon felt that the true energy in his body was depleted, but more than half of it was consumed in just a few minutes.
Even so, Ye Cheng still feels that he has gained a lot. This spur-of-the-moment fun is very interesting to him. It reminds him of Wudang, a leader of the Wudang sect. Wudang is known for its internal strength, but he has learned a lot from it, especially The stickiness in their Qi makes those who are entangled feel extremely uncomfortable, which is somewhat similar to the one here and now.
At this moment, Ye Cheng was shocked. He thought that if he could find a way to make it difficult to get close to the water here, he could feel the protective aura outside his body and knew that it would be basically impossible to repel the lake water. , Unless he can reach the innate realm, maybe there is still this possibility.
Putting aside this brief thought, Ye Cheng entered the realm of emptiness wholeheartedly, feeling the power coming from the sword. Although he was at the bottom of the water, the water was still flowing. The power that followed certain laws was pushing the lake water. In flow.
Ye Cheng, who tried to break through this restraint, gradually felt that the power on the blade was no longer able to resist. Under the control of this extremely powerful force, a mouthful of blood finally spurted out, dyeing the small piece of water in front of him red. The next moment Already dissipated.
"The power of nature is indeed difficult for humans to contend with, but it is the best choice for training mortals!"
After figuring out the secret, Ye Cheng already felt that there was not much true energy left in his body. He hurriedly withdrew his giant slash and swam up quickly. It was not until the moment he broke out of the water that he felt a wave of relief all over his body, as if he had returned to this place again. In a piece of heaven and earth.
Breathing heavily, he looked up and saw a homing pigeon already hovering in the air. He hurriedly reached out to get it and secretly smiled bitterly. He was so busy thinking about things that he even forgot about serious matters.
After opening the letter, he immediately knew the location of Guiyun Village, hurriedly jumped ashore, mounted his horse and galloped away.
Within a moment, I saw a manor at the northwest corner of Taihu Lake. It was surrounded by towering walls and climbing vines. On the vermilion gate, the three characters "Guiyun Manor" were flying and phoenixes were flying, which seemed to be a bit powerful.
Looking around, we can see that the place is pretty good and the manor occupies a very large area. It should be considered a wealthy family.
I walked up the steps slowly, walked to the door, and tapped the door knocker a few times. After a while, there was a rush of footsteps, and the next moment the door slowly opened with a "squeak" sound, and an old housekeeper dressed up , said softly: "Excuse me, sir, why do you want to come to this manor?"
Ye Cheng clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I am here with Mei Chaofeng and Feng Mofeng. I am a little late. Please let me know!"
"Oh, it turns out you are a friend of the distinguished guest, but it is unfortunate that you came here. Several distinguished guests have already left the village for some time. You are too late!"
Ye Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect that they had left so early and hadn't sent him a letter yet. However, he had no choice but to nod and said, "Thank you very much, father-in-law!"
After saying that, without waiting for him to leave, the father-in-law directly closed the door with a "bump", which made Ye Cheng feel unhappy and felt like he had been rejected.
They retreated far away until they reached the lake. It was a bit strange that they hadn't received a reply from Jiang Nanyu yet. Ye Cheng frowned. With the speed of his shadow hoof, such a short period of time was only five minutes. They were actually like this.
He left a long time ago. It seems that he didn't have a happy conversation. After all, not all of Mei Chaofeng's brothers are as kind as Feng Mofeng.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was still no reply. Ye Cheng once again sent several letters to Long Xingyun and Haitang, and then lay quietly on the grass by the lake, looking up at the sky, waiting in boredom, and even more thinking in his mind.
I slowly realized what I felt in the lake just now, how I could deliver a fatal blow to my opponent when my facial features were greatly suppressed.
Lan Rumei's face kept flashing in his mind, and Jiang Nanyu's face popped up in his mind. The two kept circling and intertwined, making Ye Cheng suddenly feel agitated, and he jumped up, thinking secretly about this woman.
It was indeed troublesome. No wonder so many people fell in love with women, causing him to waver in his pursuit of martial arts for a moment.
Time passed quickly, and not long after another cup of tea, Ye Cheng finally felt something was wrong. His heart was shaken, and he turned to look at Guiyun Village not far away, and immediately discovered something was wrong.
.
Every move just now was constantly replayed in Ye Cheng's mind, and he immediately noticed something was wrong. That was the flickering eyes of the old man who opened the door. He almost never made eye contact with him when he spoke. More importantly, there was a faint...
It was a panic that was difficult to detect. Now that I think about it, my father-in-law's heart was beating very fast at that time. Ye Cheng thought it was because he didn't know martial arts and was running here. But now that he thinks about it, that's not the case at all.
Looking at the lifeless Guiyun Manor, a very bad feeling filled my heart. It was really strange that such a large manor did not have a single guardian.
With a move of faith, his body turned into a black shadow and flew quickly along the lush grass on the side. In a moment, he was under the wall. He carefully put his ear to the wall. After a while, when he was sure that there was no one at all, he lightly touched the ground and flew away.
Pass by.
Ye Cheng, who landed on the ground, immediately knew that something had happened. The long swords and weapons scattered on the ground must have been the weapons used by the guards before. Looking at the situation, they must have been killed by someone, but there was no trace of blood on the ground around him.
No, it is even more certain that the person who made the move is extremely powerful, at least a top-notch master.
It was difficult to determine how many people there were on the other side. Ye Cheng carefully observed the surroundings and already had a rough number in his mind. He knew the general structure of the manor, which occupied a large area. It was a typical Jiangnan courtyard style. What he was in at the moment was
It's just a big courtyard. If you bypass the two small courtyards in front, you should reach the main courtyard. If something happens to Jiang Nanyu and others, it will naturally be over there.
He half-squinted his eyes and carefully prepared his surroundings. His whole body's energy was raised to its peak state. He gently took the giant sword into his hand, taking every step with extreme caution. He didn't know how many people there were on the other side and whether they were all powerful.
Peak level.
Although the sun was shining brightly, Ye Cheng felt a bone-chilling coldness as he walked in the small courtyard. The enemy was in darkness and we were in the clear, which put great pressure on him. When his spirit was raised to the extreme, there was a faint feeling.
He felt several breaths locking on him, and the one closest to him was behind the first arch.
That extremely subtle feeling allowed Ye Cheng to clearly grasp the other person's heart, and he even knew that as long as he took three steps in front of the arch, he would be attacked like a thunder by the person behind the wall. That was them.
Set up a situation.
But Ye Cheng couldn't stop. If he stopped, people would naturally find out that he already knew the trap below, and he would be attacked in advance. It would be impossible to tell who would be tricked and killed by whom.
There were still about five steps away from the opponent's point of violent killing. During these five steps, Ye Cheng walked extremely slowly, and every step he took was very particular, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making it difficult for the people in the dark to lock onto him for a while.
It completely disrupted the opponent's rhythm.
When he took the fourth step, he entered the attack point suddenly. At this moment, Ye Cheng could clearly feel the aura of the man behind the wall. When he rose from the slow speed to a fixed point, he suddenly reached the point of attack.
The moment he was about to take action, because of Ye Cheng's sudden immobility, he suddenly collapsed.
The fight between the masters was a thin line, life or death. Not only was the man behind the wall in disarray, his breath was disordered, but also the masters hiding in several other places had their momentum plummeted, their rhythm was completely disrupted, and it was difficult to fight.
Maintain the state of mind just now.
The corner of Ye Cheng's lips curled up. What he wanted was this moment. As long as he was not surrounded by the opponent, he would hope to defeat them one by one. Otherwise, if several masters in the dark joined forces to attack, even he would die here.
At that moment, Ye Cheng accelerated violently, from stillness to movement. It was completed at that moment, spanning a distance of ten feet in one step, and passed directly through the small arch.
Looking at the man standing against the wall with a frightened and weird look on his face, Ye Cheng knew that he had won the bet this time.
The giant slash held tightly in his hand slashed down diagonally. Under the pull of the Qi machine, it became even more powerful and murderous.
The man opposite was obviously dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events, but he was still considered a top expert. No matter what, he would not be killed by Ye Cheng with a single blow. At this moment, the only thought in his mind was to hold off his opponent and wait for his companions to come forward.
If you come to rescue, you will naturally be able to save the situation in front of you.
Thinking in his mind, he took action. The man in black immediately backed up against the wall and retreated. A steel knife in his hand appeared like a blade, blocking him in front of him, fearing that someone would take advantage of the situation to attack him.
Ye Cheng's face flashed with a sneer, and the sword energy had already hit the man's sword. The domineering power of destroying mountains was clearly displayed. In an instant, he tore through the layer of sword. The man and the sword merged into one, and fell into the shadow of the sword.
The sword struck out again and took the head directly from the opponent's neck.
The man who had already suffered a blow just now realized that he had been careless. Under such a sure-kill offensive, if he could not fight back wholeheartedly, then what awaited him would be a ruthless death. Unfortunately, it was too late to understand his opponent's plan at this moment.
.
Ye Cheng's blade was so cold that it cut directly into the weakest point of the opponent's aura with its all-conquering sword energy. Under the pull of the energy, it slashed hard on the blade of the man in black. Surprisingly, it didn't make a single sound. It was completely contained.
The dark energy.
Facing Ye Cheng's crazy spiral energy, the man didn't stand a chance. His eyes suddenly opened angrily, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his mouth. He softened without any sound, but was gone in the blink of an eye.
