The bamboo flute spun in Kong Lanyou's hand, causing a wave of infuriating energy. Then, she shook her arm and swung it out quickly.
Those bamboo leaves were like flying swords, flying towards Zhang Ruochen like water waves and raindrops.
"Woo!"
In Zhang Ruochen's eyes, what flew over was not the bamboo leaves, but the little men holding sharp swords. They were like thousands of troops, full of murderous intent and mighty, making an ear-splitting whistling sound.
Kong Lanyou's swordsmanship was so sharp and majestic that it forced Zhang Ruochen to keep retreating.
"No, we can't retreat anymore. My cultivation level is above hers, and my strength is stronger than hers. Why can't I fight with all my strength?"
Zhang Ruochen's legs sank, his feet dug into the ground three inches deep, he stopped retreating, held the sword in both hands, and struck straight at him.
A sword technique from the Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords that calms the soul and creates a shadow.
This sword technique is quite powerful and overwhelming, splitting the flying bamboo leaves to both sides. Countless leaves were torn into pieces by the sword energy and turned into powder.
"Pop!"
Even so, seven bamboo leaves, under the control of Kong Lanyou's true energy, passed through the body-protecting Tiangang and hit Zhang Ruochen's body, leaving seven wounds.
The wound was very shallow. The deepest bamboo leaf only penetrated half an inch into the flesh, and did not hurt any vital parts.
Kong Lanyou let out a sigh, and with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he said, "You actually opened up the chakras. It's really getting more and more interesting."
The so-called "chakra" is one of the strange meridians, which is hidden in the skin of a warrior.
Every year a warrior practices, his skin will increase by one layer and his defense will increase by one point. Just like a tree, it can form layers of annual rings.
It is precisely because Zhang Ruochen cultivated chakras that the wounds left by the bamboo leaves were very shallow.
Of course, if Zhang Ruochen used the power of the Holy Dragon of the Dragon Ball, he could block the bamboo leaves without getting hurt. However, in that case, the fight between him and Kong Lanyou would be meaningless.
Kong Lanyou is currently suppressing her cultivation to the middle stage of Tianji Realm, which is three realms lower than Zhang Ruochen. Moreover, she only uses sword skills and no other means.
Naturally, Zhang Ruochen would not use any other means and would only use his own strength to fight her.
"Whoosh!"
Kong Lanyou took action again, using his fourth sword.
Zhang Ruochen also raised his arm again and blocked it forward, wanting to continue fighting Kong Lanyou.
With a "bang" sound, the bamboo flute pointed by Kong Lanyou passed through Zhang Ruochen's arm and hit Zhang Ruochen's right shoulder, sending Zhang Ruochen flying out.
Zhang Ruochen only felt that his right arm had completely lost all feeling, and half of his body had become numb. He was about to fall to the ground in a panic. Suddenly, he activated his Qi, stretched out his left hand, hit the ground with a palm, and his body flew upside down.
Before he could stand still, Kong Lanyou's fifth sword move had already been launched, hitting him between the eyebrows.
Zhang Ruochen did not dodge, and immediately pushed with his left palm, hitting Kong Lanyou's lower abdomen.
If Kong Lanyou didn't take back the bamboo flute, she would be hit in the lower abdomen by Zhang Ruochen. It is absolutely impossible for a warrior in the middle stage of Tianji Realm to block Zhang Ruochen's palm without dying.
Kong Lanyou snorted coldly, and twisted her slender jade waist, like a fish swimming in the water, quickly darting upward to avoid Zhang Ruochen's move.
At the same time, she struck down and pointed the bamboo flute at Zhang Ruochen's vest.
"not good."
Zhang Ruochen felt the chill coming from his back and knew that he could not avoid this move no matter what, so he immediately mobilized his true energy to form a protective Tiangang and pushed it backwards.
The body-protecting Tiangang turned into a huge ball of light, wrapping Zhang Ruochen in the center.
Kong Lanyou's bamboo flute hit the surface of the light ball, and the light ball immediately dented.
"break!"
Kong Lanyou broke through Zhang Ruochen's protective Tiangang and hit Zhang Ruochen's vest.
However, after being resisted by the body-protecting Tiangang, the power contained in the bamboo flute has been reduced by more than half. When it hit Zhang Ruochen, it only made a crashing sound, shaking Zhang Ruochen forward, but did not seriously injure Zhang Ruochen.
.
Zhang Ruochen resisted the burning pain in his back and turned his body in a circle. As soon as he turned around, a bamboo flute was pressed against his heart.
If it were a real life and death fight, at this moment, his heart would have been pierced by the bamboo flute.
Zhang Ruochen took back his hand and said, "I lost!"
"It actually took me six moves to defeat you. You have grown so much in half a month. Your understanding of the sword is far beyond my expectations."
Kong Lanyou took back his bamboo flute and walked back to the bamboo pavilion.
She waved her palm lightly on the table. On the stone table in the bamboo pavilion, a pot of tea and two celadon tea cups appeared immediately.
Kong Lanyou blew it out in one breath, and the teapot slowly flew up and hung in the air.
"Chichi!"
No matter how Kong Lanyou used it, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth flew back towards the teapot in a steady stream.
Some spiritual energy flew into the teapot and merged with the water in the teapot. Some spiritual energy transformed into wisps of flames and enveloped the teapot.
Not long after, a light fragrance of tea came out of the teapot, turning into wisps of white mist and filling the bamboo forest.
"Zhang Ruochen, I said that as long as you can catch my three moves, I will treat you to a drink. Now, you can enter the Zhuting." Kong Lanyou said calmly.
When Zhang Ruochen walked into the bamboo pavilion, the aroma of tea became a little stronger.
Taking a deep breath, he inhaled the fragrance of tea into his belly. In an instant, Zhang Ruochen felt a surge of spiritual energy, which kept entering his blood vessels, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling.
Zhang Ruochen immediately ran the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", and the true energy flowed rapidly in the thirty-six meridians, running for a big week.
When Zhang Ruochen was running the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", Kong Lanyou stared at him deeply, showing a confused and complicated look.
"What's in the teapot? Why did I benefit a lot just by taking a sip of the tea aroma? Wouldn't it be even more amazing if I took a sip of tea?" Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
Zhang Ruochen temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, walked to the opposite side of Kong Lanyou, and sat down.
Kong Lanyou raised his eyelids slightly, stared at Zhang Ruochen, and said: "A mere warrior in the Tianji realm dares to sit across from me and be on an equal footing with me. How brave you are!"
Zhang Ruochen still looked very relaxed and said: "Senior took the initiative to invite me into the bamboo pavilion and invited me to taste tea. Why don't I dare to sit down?"
No matter how high Kong Lanyou's cultivation level is now, Zhang Ruochen can't be afraid of her. He still regards her as his cousin and doesn't feel any pressure in his heart.
After the last two contacts, Zhang Ruochen could actually feel that Kong Lanyou was not hostile to him eight hundred years ago, and was even very concerned about him back then.
Even so, Zhang Ruochen still didn't plan to tell her the truth now.
Once Kong Lanyou knows the truth, with her current cultivation, experience, status, and will, she will definitely plan the future for Zhang Ruochen and even bring Zhang Ruochen back to Mingtang.
If he returns to Mingtang, how will he and Kong Lanyou face each other in the future?
One is only a young warrior in the Tianji realm, and the other is the Holy Ancestor of Mingtang who has lived for more than 800 years. The gap between the two is too big. It is impossible for Kong Lanyou to listen to his words like he did 800 years ago.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen didn't want to be exposed so soon. He was a proud man and had his own plans for his future cultivation path, and did not want to rely on the power of Kong Lanyou and Mingtang.
tell her?
Or not tell her?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Ruochen's mind.
Kong Lanyou seemed to be thinking about something too, and stopped talking and fell into silence.
Zhang Ruochen put his hands together, swallowed the scent of tea, and started practicing the exercises quickly.
After inhaling the fragrance of tea into his body, Zhang Ruochen felt that his mind was empty. Some of the doubts he usually encountered in martial arts were instantly understood at this moment.
"If I can keep swallowing the fragrance of tea and maintain my current state, I estimate that within a month, I can break through to the Great Ultimate of the Tianji Realm."
Zhang Ruochen's mental power was powerful, reaching level 41, so he immediately focused on three things.
While puffing out the aroma of tea, he was practicing his exercises.
While recalling the process of fighting Kong Lanyou just now, he understood the essence of Kong Lanyou's swordsmanship;
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen's sword intention transformed into a human form in the sea of air, practicing his sword skills over and over again.
"Gululu!"
The water in the teapot started to boil.
Under Kong Lanyou's control, the teapot flew in front of Zhang Ruochen and filled the cup with a cup of green tea.
Then the teapot flew back and filled her own cup.
Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes, glanced at the tea in the cup, and said, "Could it be that this is tea made from the legendary holy medicine 'Blue Sky Grass'."
"If you have some knowledge, there is exactly one leaf of blue sky grass in the teapot."
Kong Lanyou picked up the small and exquisite tea cup, put it to her red lips, and took a sip.
Legend has it that blue sky grass does not grow in the soil, but in the clouds in the sky, absorbing the water vapor and spiritual energy in the clouds, collecting the light of the sun and the moon, and finally forming a sacred medicine in the shape of grass leaves.
Such a treasure is more precious than the Five Elements Spiritual Treasure. If one appears, there will definitely be many semi-saint-level figures desperately trying to snatch it.
Blue sky grass can not only help warriors improve their cultivation, but also help warriors understand the holy way.
Therefore, Blue Sky Grass is truly precious to the Ninth Transformation of Fish, Dragon and Semi-Saint level figures. A blade of Blue Sky Grass is used to make tea and is given to a warrior in the Heavenly Realm to drink. It is simply huge.
waste.
"She actually gave me a holy medicine like Blue Sky Grass for me to take. Could it be that she has recognized me?"
Zhang Ruochen thought so secretly in his heart.
Kong Lanyou put down the tea cup, stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, "If you don't drink it, the medicinal properties of the blue sky grass will begin to disappear."
Zhang Ruochen stopped thinking about it, picked up the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp without leaving a drop.
Before Zhang Ruochen could put down his teacup, Kong Lanyou's words almost made him drop the teacup in shock.
"What you practice is the Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra?" Kong Lanyou looked at him.
