Chapter 110: Swordsmanship without Edge (4K Presentation)
In Poseidon Lake, the patter of spring rain stops now and then, and the long-term gloomy sky makes people feel a little depressed.
"This year's rainy season is really long..."
Beside a window of Poseidon Pavilion, Moon said as he stretched out his old hand to feel the raindrops outside, waiting for the response from the person behind him.
Silence, a long silence, only bursts of grunting came from the dark room, followed by a strong smell of alcohol.
Moon looked back slightly and saw Xuanzi leaning against a corner with a dejected look on his face.
His cloudy eyes were filled with guilt and he could not care about anything else. He moved the wine gourd in his hand to his mouth mechanically over and over again, as if this could temporarily free him from self-blame.
Who would have thought that Taotie Douluo, who had always been so energetic and energetic, would become what he is now.
All of this stemmed from an incident three months ago. He took more than a dozen inner courtyard disciples to the Star Dou Forest to perform a mission. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly encountered a hundred thousand-year-old ferocious beast. Due to the delay in rescue, most of the students were killed or injured.
.
This was the most serious loss of life in Shrek Academy in decades, and he became like this after he came back.
Xuanzi drank numbly, murmuring and blaming himself, "Eight people, eight lives, it's all my fault..."
Seeing Xuanzi now, the old man sighed and shook his head. He understood that this matter could only be resolved by Xuanzi himself, otherwise it would become a demon that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
Moon turned his gaze out the window again. From here, he could see a small building not far from the Golden Tree.
At this time, the small building in the rain was shining with green light. The light was like human breathing, very rhythmic, but seeing this scene, the old man's eyes inevitably showed a trace of sadness.
"Qingfeng is leaving soon, you'd better go see him off..."
Boom——
Before the old man finished speaking, a spring thunder suddenly broke out in the sky, and the rain outside became heavier and heavier. The downcast old man Xuan didn't know when he had raised his head. Under his messy hair was a pair of unusually bright eyes, but they were full of shock...
…
……
The wooden building closest to the Golden Tree.
The courtyard was buzzing with people, and the soul shield blocked the rain. If anyone were here, they would find that most of Shrek's senior officials, including the deans of the two departments, were gathered here, but the atmosphere was unusually solemn.
On the second floor, Ye Ming stared blankly at the sky outside the window and didn't know what he was thinking. It has been a year and a half since he entered the inner courtyard.
After a year and a half of hard work, his whole person has begun to take on a sharp edge. Although his appearance has changed slightly, he has undergone a transformation on the inside.
Suddenly, the door behind him opened, and Ye Ming was startled by the sound and turned around, only to see Mr. Zhuang walking out with a tired look on his face, accompanied by Li Rui.
The girl who had been guarding the door early in the morning asked hurriedly: "Grandpa Zhuang, how is he doing?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhuang sighed and shook his head silently. Seeing this, the girl wanted to ask again but was stopped by Li Rui, "Qingling, Mr. Zhuang is already very tired, don't bother him."
The girl opened her mouth, but in the end no words came out. She lowered her head, shrugged her shoulders and sobbed softly.
"Mr. Zhuang, walk slowly."
After Li Rui sent Mr. Zhuang away, he turned to look at the two remaining Ye Ming people in the room, and said sadly:
"I'm afraid my ancestor won't be able to survive much longer. You two should go stay with him."
Ye Ming nodded silently, but the girl beside him couldn't hold back the grief in his heart and rushed into the room.
Pushing open the door, the girl grabbed the arm of the old man in the wheelchair and sobbed loudly. She saw that Li Qingfeng was older than before. His teeth and hair had fallen out, his eyes had become cloudier, and there was a layer of lingering illness all over his body.
He was angry, but even so, he still smiled and comforted the girl.
Seeing Ye Ming's arrival, he stretched out his remaining arm. Ye Ming hurriedly knelt down in front of him, holding the withered hand tightly with both hands, and there was also a touch of sadness on his face.
"Teacher..."
"Silly boy, there is no need to feel sad. Besides...this is the teacher's own choice."
Ye Ming was actually mentally prepared for the old man's departure.
As early as a month ago, when he successfully condensed the sharp power, the old man came to him and told him his plan. From that day on, the old man, who was in relatively good condition, was in poor health every day. To this day,
The breath has been weakened to the limit.
Li Qingfeng raised an arm and gently stroked the head of the girl in front of him: "Qing Ling, my ancestor has lived in this world for more than 180 years. This life is not in vain, but I am most worried before I leave.
It’s still you, do you know why your cultivation has been unable to break through the Soul Sect?”
The girl shook her head and looked at the old man who was choked up and speechless.
"That's all, it's time to tell you now." Looking at the girl who was crying like a raindrop, the old man's eyes were filled with distress.
"Ancestor knows that you have been dissatisfied with Ye Ming in the past few years and have secretly wanted to surpass him, but this outcome has already been doomed.
When you obtained the soul ring at the age of six, your spiritual sea suffered irreparable trauma for some reason. Although your ancestor used a hundred thousand year old skull to save your life, your spiritual sea has collapsed.
Reluctant repair also loses the potential for expansion, which is why it is extremely difficult to break through every bottleneck."
Speaking of this, the old man paused for a moment, with a look of struggle on his face, as if he couldn't bear to tell the girl who had always been strong about the cruel final result.
Li Qingling is so smart, even when she is extremely sad, she still understands the meaning of the old man's words.
But she shook her head and choked: "Ancestor, please stop talking and take a rest. In fact, I want to surpass Ye Ming just to get your praise. I don't care about my strength. Now I just want to spend more time with you...
”
At this moment, the girl finally expressed her true thoughts. She was not a strong person by nature. She wanted to prove that she was stronger than Ye Ming before because she didn't want to disappoint the old man.
"Idiot..." The old man sighed and slowly comforted the girl.
I don’t know how long the rain outside lasted. Although it was still daytime, the sky was already as dark as night. If someone looked down from a high altitude, they would find that an invisible giant sword was slowly condensing above Poseidon Island, and at the same time, a huge
The momentum shocked everyone.
Star Forest, core area
The two humanoid figures rose into the air, their eyes looking in the direction of Shrek with a hint of solemnity.
One of the dark green figures took a breath of cold air and said in surprise: "Hiss - this momentum? The people from that academy just hunted a hundred thousand year soul beast from us not long ago, and now another human being has to break the limit.
Can’t you become a Douluo?”
"Hmph! Want to break through the limit of Douluo? Just dream."
An unusually strong man next to him snorted coldly and was about to leave with a look of hatred on his face. At this moment, a loud voice stopped him.
"Mr. Xiong, wait!"
Mr. Xiong turned around and saw a dark-haired man appearing behind him at some point. He had a cold look on his face and was looking ahead in the distance.
"Di Tian, what do you mean, are we just going to watch them produce another Extreme Douluo?" Facing the man, Mr. Xiong lowered his head slightly with respect, but there was still uncontrollable anger in his words. p>
The man did not answer immediately, but glanced at Mr. Xiong coldly, and then said, "You should know that there is an old guy there who is still alive. If you want to die, I will not stop you."
After that, the man disappeared, leaving only Mr. Xiong who looked furious but could not show his filial piety.
Under the forest, next to a small lake that exuded a strong aura, a man in dark green was following behind Di Tian. He narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "Boss, you can't see anything, right?" p>
Although he was asking a question, there was a certain certainty in his tone.
Hearing this, Di Tian glanced at him in surprise at first, and then said casually: "It's just a bluff. Although the strong crossbow looks bluffing on the surface, if Mr. Xiong goes, it will play into their hands." p>
After listening to Di Tian's explanation, the man nodded with understanding.
He knew that Emperor Tian would never allow a second Ultimate Douluo to appear in Shrek Academy. Since he didn't care about it now, he could see the situation on the other side...
……
Time passed bit by bit, and the giant sword over Poseidon Island had long been condensed and formed, but the surroundings of Shrek City seemed unusually calm.
"Oh, did you fail?"
The dying old man in the wooden building looked up, inevitably showing a hint of disappointment.
Di Tian's guess was correct. He originally wanted to lure out one or two young men before he died, and even did not hesitate to gather his vitality in advance. However, the enemy was too cautious after all.
"Hey, it's a pity that I don't have much time..."
The old man steeled himself and looked at Ye Ming, with a flash of complex emotions in his eyes, both relieved and regretful.
"My child, you know, I am very lucky to be able to form a master-disciple relationship with you at the end of my life.
But I have one last request before I leave, and I hope you can agree."
"Teacher, just give me your orders, and the disciple will definitely agree!" Ye Ming raised his head and said with red eyes
Human beings are not ruthless. After more than a year of getting along with the old man, he and the old man have formed a deep friendship between teachers and students. He also respects and respects the teacher from the bottom of his heart. Now, even if he is not the old man's dying entrustment, he will
I will agree without hesitation.
"Ahem!" The old man coughed twice violently, but when he received Ye Ming's answer, a look of solemnity appeared on his pale face, "Shrek Academy is a lifetime effort as a teacher. I hope you can..."
……
When the two people pushed the old man out, the rain outside had stopped. At this time, the old man's face was filled with relief. He had gotten the answer he wanted.
When the door opened, everyone in the yard immediately turned their attention to him. They all came spontaneously to see him off, and they all had extremely high respect for the old man in front of them.
"Mr. Li, you..." Yan Shaozhe took the lead and stepped forward but hesitated, then the old man waved his hand to stop him.
In this way, the two of them pushed the old man out of the small courtyard under the attention of everyone.
In front of the courtyard gate, the wheelchair stopped. The old man turned around and looked at everyone quietly, saying loudly:
"Comrades, I am very happy to meet fellow travelers like you in my life. We all adhere to the same philosophy and devote ourselves to Shrek to maintain the glory of these thousands of years.
Although I am leaving today to pursue my ancestors, I hope you can still remember your original intention and continue to carry forward Shrek's spirit...
Having said that, Li will take the first step!"
As soon as the words fell, some people in the crowd could not help but cry. Even Yan Shaozhe, who was as deep as Yan Shaozhe, had red eyes.
After saying his final farewell to everyone, the old man stood up tremblingly and turned around. At the same time, he also refused the help of the two people beside him. He just turned his head and glanced at the two of them, as if he wanted to memorize their appearance deeply.
.
"Okay, you can send them here too...it's my turn to walk the rest of the way alone."
As he spoke, the old man's body exuded a dazzling green light, and he walked step by step towards the Poseidon Pavilion under the gaze of a crowd of figures behind him, where there were still people waiting for him.
Li Qingfeng's steps are very firm. Every time he takes a step, a sword sound will echo in the sky, and at the same time, his body will move forward.
At this moment, the Qingfeng Sword appeared in his hand without knowing when, and the golden tree also emitted a dull golden light. The light converged into a road, leading the figure forward.
The advancing old man's waist is no longer bent, but as straight as a sword in his hand. His figure is no longer old, and he seems to be as high-spirited as his youth.
"Young sword king, one sword across the river. Qingfeng is born, and the world is unstoppable..."
Looking at this scene blankly, Yan Shaozhe somehow remembered his teacher's evaluation of Mr. Li in his early years.
At that time, Mr. Li was not seriously injured, and together with Mr. Xuan of the same period, he was known as the "Twin Beasts" by the world. But now, one of the two elders is about to die, and the other is decadent. The words between them are indescribable...
The sound of the sword in the sky rang nine times in total. After the nine sounds, the green light also disappeared in front of the golden tree. At this point, the world seemed to fall into silence. The giant sword in the sky slowly disappeared, and the golden tree also disappeared.
No longer shines.
Everyone in the courtyard seemed to feel something. No matter how hard they could bear the grief in their hearts, they all bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Farewell to Mr. Li!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Li!"
"Farewell to my ancestor!"
"..."
"Teacher, have a good journey!"
Ye Ming endured his grief and kowtowed heavily in the direction where the old man left. This was the second time he kowtowed to the old man, once to become a disciple, and this time to see him off.
Suddenly, the scenes of apprenticeship were as close as yesterday, but now everything has disappeared...
The world had been quiet for an unknown period of time. The various forces hidden around Shrek couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief after seeing the giant sword dissipate.
Just as he was about to leave, something unexpected happened in the center of Poseidon Island...
First, a huge sword cry sounded between heaven and earth, and then the center of the golden tree suddenly lit up with a light that had never been so dazzling. In that light, a huge sword light soared into the sky.
That sword tore through the dark sky, and at the same time tore through the psychological defenses of the small children in the four directions, and they began to escape desperately.
The dazzling green light stretched for dozens of kilometers, and the long-lost sunshine shone on Poseidon Island, dispelling the haze in people's hearts.
Ye Ming, who was in grief, also looked up at the sky. He only felt that the sunshine on his body was unusually warm, and then a feeling of sleepiness came over his mind...
