On the three-foot thin sword, holy energy flowed rapidly, and a counter-shock force came out, rushing towards Zhang Ruochen's arm. The shock caused his arm to burst with pain, and his feet crushed the mountain road, until he fell ten feet below.
, and then stabilized his figure again.
"She is worthy of being the top powerhouse in the eighth transformation of fish and dragon. This woman is quite powerful."
Zhang Ruochen held the Gu Shui Sword with both hands and mobilized all the energy in his body.
Just now, the force of the counterattack made Qi Feiyu take a step back.
She was even more surprised. She had never expected that a mere newly promoted disciple of the Holy Tradition would be so powerful. It should be noted that many monks in the Ninth Transformation of Fish-Dragon could hardly block the sword she thrust out with all their strength.
"Not bad." Qi Feiyu praised.
Zhang Ruochen said coldly: "Who are you?"
Qi Feiyu didn't answer, and flew out. On the cliff, as if walking on flat ground, the sword moves she unleashed exploded with great power, piercing Zhang Ruochen's heart.
"Have you already cultivated Jianyi to the eighth level?"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes shrank, showing an unprecedented solemn expression.
The swordsmanship displayed by this woman was even better than his. It seemed like she was just thrusting out a sword, but instead she unleashed hundreds or even thousands of sword energies, leaving no one able to dodge.
"Bang bang."
The two fought fiercely, fighting dozens of moves in a row, leaving dense sword marks on the cliff and countless gravel falling down the mountain.
Suddenly, Qi Feiyu's figure suddenly changed. He pushed his feet on the cliff and rushed out. He condensed a ball of blood-red holy energy and injected it into the three-foot thin sword, and suddenly slashed it down with the sword.
"Bang!"
Zhang Ruochen blocked his sword and his body was out of control, flying dozens of feet sideways to the bottom of the cliff and falling.
In a moment, his body was engulfed by white clouds.
Qi Feiyu seemed to have no weight at all, and landed lightly on a raised stone. Her long black hair slowly floated in the wind, making her look extraordinarily beautiful.
She glanced down the cliff, but did not see Lin Yue's figure again, and murmured to herself: "On the second level of the mountain, no matter how high the level of swordsmanship is, it is impossible to perform sword control. If you fall from here, even if you are a fish,
I am afraid that the monks in the Dragon Realm will not escape death. Everyone should think that Xu Changsheng killed him."
The three-foot-long thin sword slowly retracted her finger.
They are still a pair of flawless jade hands, but who would have thought that such beautiful hands could be so terrifying when killing people.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a slight fluctuation in spiritual energy, let out a soft moan, and looked down the cliff.
I saw a ball of golden light flying up from the bottom of the cliff.
In the golden light, a cold voice sounded: "Sister Qi, I have no grudges with you, why do you want to kill me? You want to leave without giving a reasonable explanation?"
I saw a pair of golden dragon wings growing out of Lin Yue's back, breaking through the clouds and mist, flying back to the mountain road, and landing above Qi Feiyu.
Qi Feiyu was only slightly surprised at first, but soon became extremely calm and said: "Do you still need a reason to kill someone?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Even if you don't tell me, I can roughly guess it."
"Oh, is it so?"
"The Liang Yi Sect has always been a neutral force and rarely makes enemies with other forces. So, which party are you the undercover agent of the Liang Yi Sect? Although your temperament is elegant and pure, I feel that you are
I smell the smell of blood. So, are you an undead vampire?"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes became quite sharp as he observed the changes in Qi Feiyu's expression.
Qi Feiyu caught up first and scared Xu Changsheng away.
Then, she started to win over Zhang Ruochen again, and only when she failed to win over Zhang Ruochen did she decisively kill him.
Obviously, if a genius like Lin Yue cannot be won over, he must be killed. This is "killing the seedlings". In the Liangyi Sect, any genius who has the potential to become a saint is her target for assassination.
Those who would do such a thing could only be a hostile force of the Liang Yi Sect.
Eight hundred years ago, the Shengming Central Empire united the major sects and saints, and spent ten years to expel the undead vampires overseas and seal them on Manji Island.
At that time, the Liangyi Sect had a good relationship with the Shengming Central Empire, and they also contributed manpower and material resources in the battle to expel the undead vampires.
There are undead vampires lurking in both the black market and the Eastern Holy Academy. It is not a strange thing to find lurkers in the Liang Yi Sect.
"The Immortal Vampire Clan? Junior Brother Lin, please don't accuse me wrongly. As we all know, I am the heir of the Qi family, how can I have anything to do with the Immortal Vampire Clan?" Qi Feiyu said.
Zhang Ruochen smiled coldly: "Then, why do you want to kill me? Don't tell me, you just want to test my cultivation."
"The reason why I kill you is just to eliminate an opponent in advance, so that I can save some energy during the sword competition." Qi Feiyu said.
Zhang Ruochen naturally wouldn't believe her words and said, "Really? I think it's better to report it to the Saint Patriarch and let them verify your true identity."
Her eyes turned cold, staring at the pair of dragon wings on Zhang Ruochen's back, and said with a smile: "Are you really Lin Yue? It is absolutely impossible for Lin Yue to have a pair of dragon wings. Otherwise, I will also report to the Saint Patriarch and let him
They will also test your true identity."
The two of them faced each other on the cliff.
Below, faintly, a figure can be seen, rushing upwards.
Obviously, someone else has passed the first level of the second mountain, and this person is getting closer and closer to Zhang Ruochen and Qi Feiyu.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen took the dragon wings back into his body, Qi Feiyu also put away the holy energy, and the two of them did not continue to fight.
"Don't let me find evidence. If I am sure that you are a member of the Immortal Vampire Clan, I will send the evidence to the Law Enforcement Court as soon as possible." Zhang Ruochen has no good impression of the Immortal Vampire Clan.
The reason why Zhang Ruochen chose to compromise was not just because his cultivation level was inferior to Qi Feiyu's.
What's more important is that if he tells Qi Feiyu's secret to the Saint Patriarch, Qi Feiyu will definitely reveal his secret.
When the time comes, it will be a situation of perishing together.
Of course Qi Feiyu wanted to kill and silence him, but she knew that it was easy to defeat Lin Yue, but very difficult to kill him.
As a result, because the two of them were restraining each other, they had to stop at the same time to avoid exposing their identities.
"Could Qi Feiyu be from the Demon Cult and the black market?"
Although Zhang Ruochen's previous words were plausible, he was actually testing Qi Feiyu, and there was no way to confirm that Qi Feiyu was an immortal vampire.
You know, Qi Feiyu is the heir of the Qi family, and the Qi family is a medieval family.
How could the heir of a medieval family be an immortal vampire?
If we change our thinking, the Qi family is very likely to be a force in the black market or the demon sect. If Qi Feiyu is a member of the evil or demonic path, there is a certain possibility that he will kill Zhang Ruochen.
"After breaking into the ancient sacred mountain, send a message to Mu Lingxi and Orange Moon Star Envoy, asking them to find out the details of the Qi family."
Zhang Ruochen stopped thinking about it, cleared his mind for the time being, and walked quickly towards the mountainside of the second mountain.
Candong broke through the first level at the foot of the mountain and chased after him. He saw that the surrounding cliffs were covered with sword marks. It was obvious that he had experienced a fierce battle.
There was a puzzled look in his eyes, he glanced at Qi Feiyu and said, "Did Xu Changsheng take action against Junior Brother Lin?"
Qi Feiyu looked particularly elegant, nodded gently, and said: "You don't need to worry about Junior Brother Lin, I have already repelled Xu Changsheng."
Later, Qi Feiyu and Candong also walked towards the mountainside.
The second mountain, like the first mountain, is also nine thousand meters high.
Zhang Ruochen walked until he was four thousand meters away and reached the mountainside. He finally saw a row of silver palaces built on the steep stone walls. A total of seventy-two palaces were lined up in a row. Each one exuded powerful holy power.
It makes people feel awe.
Of the seventy-two palaces, only the door of the first palace is closed. You don't need to guess to know that Xu Changsheng must be trying to break through inside.
Zhang Ruochen chose to enter the second palace.
Qi Feiyu chose the third palace, and Candong chose the fourth palace.
Right in front of the second palace, there is a jade statue of a middle-aged Taoist priest. There is a black eagle under the Taoist priest's feet.
Whether it is a middle-aged Taoist priest or a giant black eagle, they are all lifelike, as if they will come to life at any time.
Zhang Ruochen came to the bottom of the jade statue and bowed to the middle-aged Taoist priest.
"Wow!"
The jade statue emits a layer of white light, and words appear on its surface. The words rise and fall rapidly, and different words will appear at the same position every moment.
In the palace, a voice sounded: "The saint's statue records a total of nine sword manuals. All the words have been scrambled. The challenger must sort out at least one mental method within an hour, and follow the instructions.
Mental method, create a set of sword skills by yourself. Limit the time, one hour."
The second level of the second mountain tests the monk's vision, understanding, and creativity.
Its difficulty is far greater than the second level of the first mountain.
If the monk's vision, understanding, and creativity are not at the top level, it is impossible to pass this level.
Zhang Ruochen wasted no time and immediately sat cross-legged under the jade statue, concentrating on it and staring at the jade statue.
At the same time, he mobilized his mental power to cover the jade statue.
Any text that appears on the surface of the statue will be remembered by him instantly.
When one-third of the time had passed, Zhang Ruochen finally sorted out the ideas for the first sword manual.
Just after finishing the cleaning, spots of light flew out from the jade statue, like a rain of light, falling on Zhang Ruochen's body.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen felt that the heart of the sword in the air sea became more crystal clear and brilliant, reaching a critical point, and it seemed that it would break through at any time.
"After sorting out a mental method, it can actually improve the realm of kendo. If I sort out a second mental method, wouldn't it be able to improve the realm of kendo?"
Zhang Ruochen seemed to have discovered something interesting, with a look of joy on his face.
His swordsmanship level has reached the edge of breakthrough. As long as he improves further, he can break through to the high level where the sword heart is transparent.
As long as there is a breakthrough, the realm of swordsmanship can take a big step forward and reach a state that even half-saints would be extremely envious of.
