"My mission has changed, but what about the New Moon Protector?"
"The Protector of the Crescent Moon needs to be brought back to the cult."
Xinyue frowned and subconsciously resented this secret order from the bottom of her heart. It had nothing to do with Cao An. When she was in the divine religion before, she was very opposed to some of the practices of the divine religion. During the time when she was walking with Cao An, she
I have seen a lot and gained a lot of insights. The more sensible I am, the greater my resistance to divine religion.
"I haven't found the answer I want yet."
Chiyangzi cast his gaze on Xinyue: "What if you don't find the answer in your life? Do you have to never return to the religion for the rest of your life?"
"Are you planning to keep me by force?" Xinyue raised her eyebrows and spoke in a bad tone.
"Then it depends on whether you, the protector of Xinyue, can cooperate."
Xinyue laughed angrily, "You and I have similar cultivation levels, and we are both great protectors of the divine sect. If I want to leave, you really may not be able to keep me. What's more, I still have Cao An to help me with my fists, and there is a man outside Qingzhou City.
Zhan, you also know that the six scenes are really not enough to see."
"But I don't think fellow Taoist Cao will help you. A person who can say that God has no spirit and practice it should not do such a thing."
Cao An bowed and said, "Ashamed, God has no spirit, Dao is ruthless, but people have feelings. If the Crescent Moon Protector needs it, Cao will take action."
Chiyangzi asked further: "Why is God soulless and Tao ruthless?"
"Because the way of heaven is impartial and there is no selfishness!"
"According to what you said, the so-called gods are just clay and wood sculptures. They are not allowed to interfere in anything in the world with their own selfish motives. They have no power, but they are constrained at every step. They see the suffering in the world and can't do anything. Then,
What is the use of God? What is the meaning of God’s existence?” This question was not asked by Chi Yangzi, but by Xinyue.
"Perhaps the world could have been without God."
Xinyue was stunned and didn't speak. She cast her eyes into the distance, but there was no focus in her eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Chi Yangzi remained calm and calm on the surface, but deep down in his heart there was a turmoil. Perhaps the world could have been godless. Somehow, he couldn't help but connect Cao An's words with the great catastrophe in ancient times.
, many people actually know that there were gods before ancient times.
Time passed minute by minute, and Xinyue didn't seem to come back to her senses at all.
Chiyangzi arranged dinner. In Chiyangzi's words, before Xinyue wakes up, the two of them will not become enemies. Even if they become enemies, it will be short-lived.
Staying at Daokou Temple at night and looking at the familiar things around him, Cao An felt like he had returned to the Taoist temple in his previous life. No matter which world he was in, it seemed that the habits of Taoist priests were very similar.
"Communicate?"
When Cao An was about to go back to the house to rest, Chi Yangzi came to him, holding a big knife, a nine-ring knife, in his hand. This scene looked a bit weird, and a strange sense of contradiction came to him. The thin Taoist priest, in his hand,
He was holding a large ring knife, holding the handle in one hand and dragging the blade on the ground.
"Compared to this?" Cao An pointed to the nine-ring knife in Chi Yangzi's hand.
"I have only learned one martial skill, which is the dragging sword technique. Don't worry, I will keep my cultivation in the Three Scenery Qi Condensation Realm and give you a fair fight. Let's have a pure martial arts contest between you and me today.
.”
Cao An narrowed his eyes slightly, "Seriously?"
"Have a good fight so you can sleep, come on."
"Okay, I also want to learn how to drag the sword." As he said that, Cao An put down the Nian sword in his hand, turned around and walked to the weapon rack on the side, took out an iron sword, a hilt in one hand, and a scabbard in the other hand, and his body was like a bow.
.
"My dragging sword technique uses a unique secret method to exert force, and with the help of strength, with your current strength, if you cannot defeat me within nine swords, you will be the loser."
Cao An drew out his long sword, flicked it with his fingers, and heard a clear sound. The look in his eyes changed instantly, and his temperament also changed.
A strong sense of self-confidence arose in my heart for no reason. The sword in my hand seemed not to be a foreign object, but a part of my own body, and my heart was filled with indescribable control.
Chi Yangzi, who was opposite him, also saw something different about Cao An, and couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
"How long have you been practicing swordplay?"
"Almost a year!"
Hearing this sentence made Chiyangzi's heart tremble, "It's incredible."
Cao An didn't care. When he started practicing swordsmanship, he didn't go for killing power, but for control. In order to achieve the purpose of weapons being extensions of hands and feet, in the secret realm, he gained great understanding of [Holy Spirit Sword Technique].
Progress, as a rising tide lifts all boats, naturally leads to breakthroughs in sword control abilities.
"I have a swordsmanship called [Holy Spirit Swordsmanship]. It is also the only swordsmanship I have learned so far. The sword moves are extremely fast and unparalleled. Fellow Taoist, be careful."
Buzz!
There was a soft sound, and Chi Yangzi's right hand holding the knife shook. He dragged the nine-ring knife towards Cao An. The blade of the knife gradually glowed with red light, and an invisible depressive aura came from the knife.
The gold and iron dragging on the ground made a harsh sound.
His keen perception told Cao An that he must interrupt his dragging. He drew out his long sword and took the lead in attacking.
Jianyi!
The sword moves lightly and is not like a long sword. It is mainly used for stabbing and teasing, which is representative of the point-breaking surface. The sword, with its own heavy nature, is destined to be mainly used for cutting. No matter how advanced the realm is, its essence
On the other hand, it is still impossible to get rid of the attributes and characteristics of the weapon itself.
when!!
There was an explosion, and Cao An felt numb in the tiger's mouth. Chi Yangzi struck with a strong and heavy blow, breaking the tip of Cao An's sword. The nine-ring sword was stressed. Chi Yangzi took advantage of the situation, and the sword dragged the ground again. Cao An
With a sharp look in his eyes, he suppressed the shock in his heart and walked quickly.
Sword Two!!
[Holy Spirit Sword Technique] In the face of Cao An's powerful sword control ability, his subtle power was perfectly unleashed.
The nine-ring broadsword jumped with Chi Yangzi's hand, and made another powerful and heavy blade attack. However, in this blow, the force was more than double that of the previous one. The iron sword in Cao An's hand almost collapsed.
, and escaped. You must know that since Cao An took hold of the sword, there has almost never been such a situation when facing the enemy head-on.
He now began to understand what Chiyangzi said before. The dragging sword technique, using force to accumulate power, is not a measure of strength. This is probably a part of the strength of the two people fighting directly transferred to the sword. No wonder it is dragged.
It is already extremely difficult for ordinary martial artists to control the power on the sword.
What's more, you have to seize the opportunity and control the blade when facing the enemy.
Cao An looked at it from the corner of his eye and saw that the blade was almost completely red at the moment.
Three of Swords! Four of Swords!!
Fast sword! Only with a faster sword that prevents him from dragging the sword can he have a chance of survival.
Boom! Boom!!
The Nine-ringed Sword did not mop the floor, but the burst of power became more powerful each time. It obviously felt very slow, and it was obviously a method of guiding the force and pulling the trajectory of the Nine-ringed Sword, but every time it came last, it was so wonderful.
He broke through Cao An's sword moves at his best, and transformed his strength in the fastest time to face the next attack.
"Four swords! Fellow Taoist."
Facing Cao An's sword moves, Chi Yangzi still had the energy to talk to him. Looking at Chi Yangzi's hand holding the sword, Cao An suddenly understood. Jian Wu took action. Under the powerful force of the attack, Cao An and his sword flew backwards.
He came out, swung his figure in the air, and landed on a bamboo in front of the court.
Chiyangzi didn't chase him, the nine-ring knife touched the ground, beating involuntarily like a spirit.
"Fifth knife!!"
"This competition was unfair from the beginning. Cultivation and Qi can suppress it, but your perception and experience of the heavenly and human realm cannot be suppressed. The instinctive reflection of your limbs and the subtleties of controlling power are far better than
I."
Chiyangzi smiled slightly, "Do you want to tell me that if we were in the same realm, you would definitely be able to beat me?"
"No, what I want to say is that your feeling of controlling the knife gave me some inspiration and told me another form of control. I definitely can't catch your ninth knife, and I may not even be able to catch your sixth knife.
After that, it’s better to just decide the outcome with one move, I have a skill, fellow Taoist, be careful.”
With that said, Cao An sheathed his long sword, and suddenly the wind blew up in front of the court. The same depressing feeling as when Chi Yangzi was dragging the sword appeared in Cao An's sword.
He held the hilt of the sword with his right palm, and the sword was beating wildly, as if it would jump out spontaneously in the next second.
Chiyangzi looked solemn and suppressed his smile. The nine-ring knife beat faster, and the sound of the blade hitting the stone slab was connected in a line, dense and smooth.
Buzz!!
There was a clear sound, and the sword roared like a dragon. It was so fast that Cao An couldn't even see the movements of Cao An's sword swing. He still kept his bow and stood on the top of the bamboo, and his body moved with the ups and downs of the bamboo stalks, as if he had never seen it before.
Other movements, but a sword energy as cold and as bright as the moon has been slashed out.
The power of the sword was so great that the sword energy spread throughout the blade and extended outwards. Chiyangzi did not dare to neglect it. The nine-ring knife in his hand jumped with the movement of his palm. He exerted all his strength and slashed towards the sword energy with the red sword light.
go.
One vertical and one horizontal, two air waves, at this moment, in this knife-edge view, make the stars in the sky eclipse, it seems that except for this vertical and horizontal, there is nothing else in the field of vision, the sky and the earth are only black and white.
The sword energy shattered the bamboo, and its remaining power remained unabated, only shooting high into the sky.
Along with the bamboo, there was also the figure of Cao An.
Chi Yangzi was shocked, "Impossible! Cao An!!"
Suddenly, his forward steps stopped abruptly, and he swung out the long sword instinctively, but this time, he failed to break Cao An's sword move, and the cold sword was placed on his neck.
Looking at Cao An standing in front of him, Chiyangzi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
"Awesome! I lost!"
"Had it not been for the Taoist Master's mercy, Cao would have died long ago. The skill of dragging the sword is regarded as one of the best in martial arts!!"
"Your last move was pretty good too. It's similar to my dragging knife skills!"
Cao An put away his sword and stood up, feeling a little lacking in confidence. This was a method he learned from the Sword Mountain, but he was still unable to display its true power. He said with a look of shame: "Sword skills: Gather momentum."
