Zhang Xiaofan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Even the monkey Xiao Hui beside him opened his eyes wide and blinked at him. As for the other senior brothers, they were already snoring loudly. Even Dahuang was lying on the ground and fast asleep.
The moonlight was like water, shining in through the window and spilling on the ground like frost and snow.
Zhang Xiaofan quietly climbed up, and Xiao Hui immediately ran into his arms. Zhang Xiaofan hugged it, touched its head, and walked out.
The corridor is clear and quiet.
He smiled bitterly to himself. Ever since he arrived at Tongtian Peak, he had hardly had a peaceful night's sleep. Thinking of the competition with Lu Xueqi tomorrow, he still felt unspeakably nervous.
At this moment, the monkey Xiao Hui in his arms suddenly moved uneasily. Zhang Xiaofan looked at it and saw Xiao Hui's clever eyes looking at the shadows ahead under the moonlight.
In the darkness, a figure seemed to flash past.
Zhang Xiaofan's heart moved and he followed him.
The figure was not running fast, and its shoulders seemed to be shaking as it ran, as if it was crying. Zhang Xiaofan looked from a distance and recognized Tian Linger, and felt even more strange. At the same time, looking at the crying look of his senior sister, he felt in his heart There was another inexplicable sadness.
Tian Linger ran straight to the sea of clouds and came to the ring in the center. Looking around there was no one around, as if she couldn't bear it anymore, she squatted on the ground and cried.
Zhang Xiaofan had never seen his senior sister so sad. He felt in a daze in his mind. He slowly walked to her side and called out in a low voice: "Senior sister, you..."
Tian Linger was startled, jumped up and turned around. She was relieved when she saw it was Zhang Xiaofan. Then her heart felt sour again. She couldn't help but throw herself into Zhang Xiaofan's arms and cry loudly on his shoulder.
Zhang Xiaofan's body became stiff in an instant, his whole body was turned to stone, and he could no longer move.
Her sobs echoed in my ears, and I felt the faint warmth of her body from my shoulders, as if the scene I often saw in my dreams actually happened today. A faint fragrance came vaguely. .
Zhang Xiaofan just stood like this, looking into the distance. Although he had countless thoughts in his heart to hug this woman, he finally didn't.
Maybe, if I really hug you, my life will be different from now on?
Tian Linger left his shoulder at this time. Zhang Xiaofan felt empty in his heart, and vaguely felt that he had lost something.
His shoulders were wet with tears.
Tian Linger rubbed her red eyes with her hands and saw Zhang Xiaofan's shoulders that were wet from crying. Her face turned red and she said, "I'm sorry, Xiaofan."
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?"
Just as Tian Linger was about to speak, she heard something squeaking under her feet twice. She lowered her head and saw that Xiao Hui was following her. She silently leaned down and held Xiao Hui in her arms.
"It's never happened before, Xiaofan, it's never happened before." The woman stood in the moonlight of the dark night, looking lonely and beautiful, and said to Zhang Xiaofan with a bit of sadness: "My father and mother have never scolded me like this. "
Looking at the beautiful face in sorrow, Zhang Xiaofan felt a tearing pain in his heart, as if he had brought her such sadness. He forced himself to calm down and said softly: "Sister, what's wrong? Master, Why did my wife scold you?"
Tian Linger hesitated for a moment and looked up at Zhang Xiaofan. Ever since she was little, this junior brother has been her closest playmate besides her parents. At this moment, she seemed to have a vague thought in her mind: Junior Brother Xiaofan
Since when did you start to be so gentle to me?
However, this thought only passed by for a moment. Her heart was full of sadness at the moment, and she finally cried to Zhang Xiaofan: "It's not all for Brother Qi Hao!"
Zhang Xiaofan's face turned pale, and he clenched his fist involuntarily. He clenched it so tightly that his nails dug deeply into his palm.
"You don't know yet?" Once Tian Linger started talking, he no longer had any guard against this junior brother, but Zhang Xiaofan was shouting in his heart: "I know, I know, I have known it for a long time!
"
The cold moonlight fills the world.
"Senior brother Qi Hao and I are in love. I told them that I really, really like him." Tian Linger calmed down a little, but she didn't realize that every time she said a word, Zhang Xiaofan's face changed.
He lost a bit of his blood.
"...But dad scolded me loudly and said I was ignorant. Even my mother, who had always loved me, changed her face and took dad's side. How could this happen, Xiaofan?"
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head to prevent Tian Linger from seeing his face, and whispered: "Master, how did my wife know?"
Tian Ling'er was in an excited mood and did not notice any flaws or strangeness in Zhang Xiaofan's words. She flattened her mouth and almost cried again: "I didn't expect it at first, but later I found out that it was Senior Sister Xiaozhufeng Wenmin who lives with me and they told me
I asked Senior Uncle Shuiyue, and Senior Uncle Shuiyue told my mother again. Senior Sister Wenmin and I are so close, and I have warned them many times, but they still said it, I, I..."
Her eyes were sore, and tears finally flowed out.
Zhang Xiaofan said solemnly: "Maybe Master, Mistress and the others are doing it for your own good. They are your parents and will never treat you badly!"
Tian Linger wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said loudly: "What do they know! They only know the opinions of the sect. They only know that Brother Qi Hao is the proud disciple of Uncle Cangsong in Longshou Peak. They only know that if Brother Qi Hao and I are good,
Otherwise, they will be unable to hold their heads up in the Qingyun Sect, and they have never thought about me at all."
She was a little sad, a little angry, and even a little decisive: "What is that face compared to my happiness? I really doubt whether they value face or me as their daughter?"
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly raised his head and looked at this senior sister who suddenly became unfamiliar.
What a sad look that is!
Hesitant and helpless, like a bird that has lost its parents, standing alone in the wind and rain, with a hint of panic in the sadness, piercing his soul like a knife!
Zhang Xiaofan was almost immediately defeated by this look, and an unprecedented sadness emerged from his heart. If he could be allowed to bear the pain at this moment for this woman, he would be willing to bear it no matter what kind of hardship it was. But he
But he didn't know what to say, so he could only whisper: "Senior sister!"
"I want to be with him," Tian Linger said resolutely. Rather than saying it to Zhang Xiaofan, it is better to say that she said it to her own heart and to Tian Buyi and his wife who were not here: "I will definitely
We have made an oath to be together with Senior Brother Qihao. No matter how much our parents object, or even when the world is gone, we will still be together."
She looked up at the night sky and swore like this to the bright moon. The cold moonlight shone quietly on her body. She was as beautiful as a lily that bloomed with sadness at night. People were dazzled by her beauty and forgot about it.
Beside her, that desolate and heartbroken shadow appeared.
Standing on a high place, the rising sun shone warmly on Zhang Xiaofan's body, warming his body but not his heart. He stood expressionlessly on the ring, facing Lu Xueqi, who was as beautiful as a fairy standing opposite him.
The contempt in the frost woman's eyes was so obvious that everyone in the square knew that he entered the top four ranks mainly by luck rather than strength.
Behind her, Tianya emitted a faint blue light. Zhang Xiaofan looked at this legendary divine object and thought faintly: After a while, will it be the one he is facing?
Then, he forgot about the problem for a moment. Since coming back last night, his spirit has been rising and falling in a trance.
Above the sea of clouds, there are only two large arenas left at this moment. However, judging from the number of Qingyun disciples watching, the number of people watching the competition between Qi Hao and Zeng "Net" in the west is probably less than 30% of the people here. Almost all of them were attracted by this.
Lu Xueqi, who was the second most popular, and Zhang Xiaofan, who was so lucky, were attracted to them.
Among the elders, most of them, including the leader Daoxuan Zhenren, also sat under this arena.
However, when everyone saw Lu Xueqi enter the ring, the crowd cheered for a while, and most likely they were discussing whether Zhang Xiaofan would be defeated in one breath or in an instant.
Under the stage, Tian Buyi frowned. Even though he knew Zhang Xiaofan's background quite clearly, it still made him uncomfortable to hear the disdainful comments from people behind him. Suru, who was sitting next to him, was looking around.
With her daughter.
There was a big quarrel last night. Tian Linger ran away crying and disappeared early this morning. Based on her understanding of her daughter as a mother, she was afraid that her stubborn daughter had gone to the Qi Hao competition arena.
She shook her head. Although she loved her only daughter very much, this time she stood completely on her husband's side. Perhaps this was a mother's instinct!
She always felt that the people in Longshou Peak were not very nice.
She turned her head and looked at the stage. At the same time, Zhang Xiaofan on the stage also looked over expressionlessly. Their eyes met in the air. After a moment, Zhang Xiaofan looked beside her, as if he didn't find what he was looking for.
Man, he silently looked away again.
Suru frowned slightly and said to Tian Buyi: "There is something wrong with Xiaofan's expression today, as if he is lifeless."
Tian Buyi said calmly: "He is just nervous. It is not surprising that a child has never seen the world."
Suru fell silent and said no more.
Zhang Xiaofan withdrew his gaze and fell on the face of Lu Xueqi across from him. That beautiful face in the rising sun shone brightly. Soon, Lu Xueqi felt Zhang Xiaofan's gaze, and disdain appeared in her eyes again.
Meaning.
But this time, Zhang Xiaofan didn't avoid it anymore. He didn't even feel the sarcastic eyes from the other side. That beautiful face had no meaning to him at this moment. He could only think quietly and painfully deep in his heart.
In one sentence: "She's not here, she went to watch Qi Hao's competition!"
As smart as Lu Xueqi, she quickly discovered that this opponent was only looking at her, but in his empty eyes he was clearly thinking about other things and completely ignoring her existence. This was almost the first experience in her life.
There seemed to be a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"when!"
The bells and cauldrons rang together, echoing on Tongtian Peak. The surrounding area quickly became quiet.
Lu Xueqi straightened her body and took a deep breath. As long as she wins two more games, just two games, she can realize her dream and her mentor's expectations. Behind her, Tianya's blue light gradually brightened.
"Lu Xueqi, a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak, please give me some advice."
As if Zhang Xiaofan woke up from a dream, his first reaction was not to return the favor, but to look towards the audience with great expectations. There were thousands of heads there, and everyone was paying attention, but there was no figure of the person he wanted to see.
Lu Xueqi's face changed, and the Qingyun disciples in the audience were also in an uproar. This was the first person to be so rude to Lu Xueqi. Tian Buyi and Suru looked at each other, and they both realized that something was really wrong with this little disciple today.
.
Zhang Xiaofan slowly turned his head, his face was ashen, and he said calmly: "I am Zhang Xiaofan of Dazhufeng. Please, senior sister, please don't show mercy."
Lu Xueqi was startled. Although what she said before the competition was just polite words, Xiaofan looked very strange. How could anyone say such merciless words? It sounded like sarcasm, but it didn't look like him.
After all, Lu Xueqi was Master Shuiyue's proud disciple. She was determined and her expression did not change at all. She said nothing more and gestured with her right hand, and the "Tianya" behind her slowly rose.
Zhang Xiaofan watched the blue light getting deeper and deeper, getting bigger and bigger, and his body was tinged with blue, but he could no longer find any feeling of nervousness. Instead, deep down in his heart, he was vaguely looking forward to something.
.
He took out the black and ugly fire stick.
There was a burst of laughter in the audience. Compared with the majestic and noble "Tianya" opposite, the fire stick was like an ugly worm on the ground.
But at this moment, he is still a heartbroken insect.
The cold feeling filled my whole body again. For some reason, today, the fire stick seemed to be very excited as if it had a spirit. The cold feeling moved much faster than before.
Zhang Xiaofan even felt that if he hadn't felt a flesh-and-blood connection with the fire stick, and if he hadn't held the fire stick, it would have rushed towards Lu Xueqi.
No, it should not be towards Lu Xueqi, but towards Tianya. There is an inexplicable feeling, like two enemies who have a deep hatred for each other.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi's expression suddenly changed. Tianya's light was too strong, and it seemed that she herself was a little strange!
But Zhang Xiaofan had no intention of thinking about it deeply. He looked at the beautiful woman in the blue light and suddenly realized that she looked like a senior sister, but the "senior sister" looked at him coldly with cold eyes.
On the stage, something surprising happened. Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi did not make a move, they just stared at each other, motionless.
The audience was in an uproar and there were many discussions.
Lu Xueqi suddenly woke up. Tianya, who had always been spiritually connected to her, suddenly showed unusual changes in the past, which made her feel strange. However, when she looked at Tianya with her telekinesis, there was nothing unusual. It was just as if Tianya had a vague desire to try.
Feel.
Feeling countless strange looks from the audience, Lu Xueqi frowned, composed herself, snorted coldly, pushed all the distracting thoughts out of her mind, and with a slight scolding, the blue light of Tianya bloomed and soared into the sky, but it still did not come out of its sheath.
Since the Seven Meridians Competition, Tianya has become the focus of everyone's attention, but until now, Lu Xueqi has defeated all opponents one by one without taking out the sheath, which also made everyone guess who can make her draw the sheath.
Sword. At this time, everyone guessed that it would take until the final decisive battle to achieve this with Dragon Head Peak Qi Hao's level of cultivation!
The blue light reflected on Zhang Xiaofan's face, but could not reveal any expression on his face. The black fire stick gave off a faint green light, slowly left his hand, and stopped in front of him.
Although they had already seen this fire stick before, this was the first time for everyone on Dazhu Peak, including most of the people watching, to see Zhang Xiaofan cast a spell.
Du Bishu snorted and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that my little junior brother who was stupid two years ago suddenly turned into a natural genius."
On the stage, Lu Xueqi's face was solemn, and she held the magic formula as tightly as a mountain. She saw Tianya, who was shining brightly in mid-air, suddenly turned around, as fast as lightning, and rushed towards Zhang Xiaofan with the momentum of cutting mountains and seas.
The fire stick immediately rushed forward, and the dark green light collided with the blue light in mid-air. The momentum seemed not to be afraid at all.
The next moment, everyone was stunned, and saw that Zhang Xiaofan was actually vulnerable. As if he had been hit hard, he flew backwards, and the fire stick lost its light, spinning in the air and flying back to the direction of its owner.
.
Suddenly, everyone in Dazhu Peak stood up, and the impatient ones like Du Bishu and others even cried out.
Zhang Xiaofan's back hit the pillars of the arena, and he fell down. His throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and sprinkled on the fire stick that flew back, with a bit of blood. Then, without anyone seeing it,
, Zhang Xiaofan’s blood quickly seeped into it.
Tianya was so powerful that everyone was stunned!
Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as frost, and without any hesitation, the blue light flashed, and Tianya slashed down mercilessly in mid-air.
At this moment, black gas suddenly evaporated from the fire stick, especially at the top of the stick, and the blue light became even stronger. Zhang Xiaofan's mouth was bloodshot, and he stood up slowly. His face was pale but his eyes were blood-stained, and his appearance was actually...
Somewhat ferocious.
Soon enough, the fire stick rushed towards Tianya again in the black air and green light. Once the two magic weapons came into contact in mid-air, they bounced away from each other. The bodies of Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan standing behind were shocked.
In mid-air, blue light flashed, and green light was brilliant, flying across the air. Wherever it went, the originally extremely hard giant trees on the arena were scattered like confetti, and the loud sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue, deafening.
The nearly a thousand people from the Qingyun Sect who were watching all changed their minds. Since the beginning of the grand trial, there has never been a competition like today. It was so fierce from the beginning, and the scene was not as grand as it is today. In just a moment, the huge arena was overwhelmed by these two extremely powerful weapons.
The magic weapon was dismantled in every possible way.
The people who were watching in the audience stepped back for a distance, and saw Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi floating in the air at this moment. Lu Xueqi was holding the magic formula in both hands and controlling it with all her strength. Her posture was serious but unrestrained.
But looking back at Zhang Xiaofan, it seemed a little strange. Although the power of the fire stick was beyond everyone's expectation, he did not hold the magic formula like Lu Xueqi. Instead, he was dancing in the air, and the fire stick also followed suit.
His mind was as fast as lightning, and he had a great time fighting with Tianya.
Despite this, Zhang Xiaofan felt unspeakable pain in his heart. The power of Tianya was far beyond his imagination. Every time the fire stick collided with Tianya, the meridians in his whole body were shaken. If it hadn't been for his childhood
In addition to the Xuanqing Tao of Tai Chi, I also secretly practiced the "Great Brahma Prajna" technique of Tianyin Temple. My meridians were strong and protected by the Great Brahma Prajna. I could barely withstand the divine power of Tianya, and I had already vomited blood and died.
But looking at Lu Xueqi in front of him, nothing seemed strange at all. Under her control, Tianya's blue light became more and more powerful and powerful, gradually suppressing the green light and black energy of the fire stick.
Zhang Xiaofan was complaining endlessly in this room, but Lu Xueqi on the other side was also very surprised. The other party's ordinary fire stick magic weapon actually had spiritual power that could compete with Tianya, and it also seemed to have a faint sucking power, all the time.
It is no longer attracting the spiritual energy and blood in the body. If the foundation is not strong, I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress the hot blood in the body in the first place.
Thinking of this, Lu Xueqi's heart surged again, and her body floating in mid-air almost lost her balance. She was frightened, angry and anxious. Judging from the situation of the fight, she intuitively discovered that her opponent was actually not practicing on the Xuanqing Dao of Tai Chi.
Not tall, far inferior to himself, but for some reason he used this strange magic weapon to be so powerful that even Tianya could only gain the upper hand on the surface.
Lu Xueqi bit her silver teeth, her pink face turned evil, her clothes were floating in the wind, and after Tianyi struck the fire stick hard in mid-air, Zhang Xiaofan's whole body was shaken, and the fire stick was slowed down for a moment.
Taking advantage of this moment, Tianya suddenly flew back, Lu Xueqi quickly reached out with her right hand and held Tianya.
The moment her jade-like palm came into contact with Tianya, thousands of blue lights engulfed her figure in an instant. The Tianya sword shook and made a loud noise like a dragon's roar. It soared into the sky. Lu Xueqi seemed to be with
The swords of Tianya and Man merged into one, soaring into the sky, straight into the sky.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan had already forgotten about anything outside his body. He only felt that the flesh-and-blood connection between himself and the fire stick in front of him in mid-air became stronger and stronger. He even felt that the fire stick was like a living thing. He was very excited at this moment.
An inexplicable evil spirit rushed into my mind.
He was in mid-air, looking up to the sky and roaring.
The sound shakes the fields, and the color of heaven and earth changes!
Black green light shoots straight into the sky, strong winds blow, and the clouds boil!
Suddenly, there was a flash of blue light, and a scream went from far to near, growing rapidly from being inaudible until it was so deafening that no one could hear any sound anymore.
Thousands of blue lights, all merged into one at this moment, forming a huge beam of light that hit the head. This momentum almost cut the Qingyun Mountain Range in half.
Zhang Xiaofan's face was distorted, and blood suddenly flowed from all his facial features at this moment. However, there was no hint of fear in his expression. His eyes were bright. He also stretched out his hand to grab the fire stick, and instantly the sky was filled with green light and black energy.
As if in his hand, he faced the blue light beam rushing downwards.
On the periphery, the young Qingyun disciples all held their breaths and stared straight ahead. No one had any contempt for Zhang Xiaofan, and the expressions of the elders at the head of the older generation also changed.
This competition was actually a battle of life and death.
But for some reason, no one came out to stop it?
"Boom", like thunder in the sky, exploded in the world, as if the entire Tongtian Peak trembled violently, the blue light reflected back, Lu Xueqi appeared in the sky, holding Tianya tightly, but a stream of blood slowly flowed out from her mouth
.
Under the stage, Master Shuiyue suddenly stood up.
In mid-air, Zhang Xiaofan could only hear the sound of howling wind in his ears, his vision was blurred, and the red blood almost covered his eyes. If he could hear the shouts from the outside world, he would hear the people of Dazhu Peak below him.
The sound of exclamation.
Suru's lips lost color. She looked at the little apprentice who was almost a bloody man in mid-air and said to Tian Buyi quickly and quietly: "Buyi, let Xiaofan admit defeat. Let him admit defeat quickly."
Tian Buyi trembled, stared into the air, and slowly shook his head.
He could no longer feel the pain. In the ever-changing sky, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly had such a thought in his mind. He even suddenly thought: After I die, will my senior sister come to see me? Many years later, she lived a happy life.
Did you also forget about me?
He reached out and wiped the blood and water from the corner of his eyes!
Lu Xueqi felt severe pain all over her body, and the energy and blood in her body were clashing everywhere in the violently vibrating meridians, as if she was about to burst out of her body, cheering and rushing towards the ferocious demon in the terrifying green light and black energy ahead.
This is the moment of life and death!
This is an eternal moment!
This beautiful woman stood proudly in the strong wind, refusing to step back even though the wind was as strong as a knife. She raised her head and looked at the sky.
The wind suddenly stopped and froze in mid-air.
The world suddenly became silent and stopped at this moment.
"Boom!" A low roar seemed to come from the horizon, echoing throughout the world.
Lu Xueqi turned back and pulled out the "Divine Divine Sword".
Suddenly, the blue light all over the sky dissipated and shrank, as if it was being sucked onto the autumn water-like sword blade like a giant dragon absorbing water.
There is silence on Tongtian Peak!
The legend has it that the thousand-year-old Tianya finally comes out of its sheath!
Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as frost, and she held the sword technique in her hand. She stepped on the seven-star position while suspended in the air, walked seven steps in the air, and stabbed the sky suddenly with her long sword. In an instant, her jade face lost any trace of blood, and she recited a mantra in her mouth: "
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Temple turns into divine thunder. The brilliant power of heaven is drawn with the sword!"
In a moment, the originally clear blue sky turned dark, and dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed from the edge of the black clouds. There was a chilling atmosphere and strong winds across the sky and earth.
A strong wind blew against his face, and Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth slightly. This scene seemed to have appeared in his memory a long time ago.
On the ground, everyone from Master Daoxuan down to the chief elders of each lineage had inexplicable horror on their faces. They all stood up and turned to look at Master Shuiyue at Xiaozhu Peak.
After a long while, Tian Buyi said in a solemn voice: "What a good disciple you taught!"
Master Shuiyue completely ignored everyone. For the first time, worry appeared on his usually indifferent face as he looked at the two people in the sky.
"The True Art of Divine Sword Controlling Thunder!"
Master Daoxuan slowly withdrew his gaze and was greatly shocked. He never expected that among the younger generation of Qingyun sect, there would be such an amazing talent.
However, looking at the face of the female disciple, even though she tried her best to perform such incredible magic, her body was trembling and her face was as white as paper, so she was probably unable to do so.
In the sky, the thunder became louder and louder, and Zhang Xiaofan clearly felt that from the moment the Tianya was unsheathed, an incomparable power surged from the fire stick in his hand, as if the magic weapon connected with his own flesh and blood was coming from
It's like crying out deep in my heart.
It’s as if it has been waiting for this moment for thousands of years!
The sky became darker, dark clouds pressed over the top, and a huge vortex slowly appeared in the thick clouds. This chapter was published by online book friends www.
