There were four people in total, three men and one woman. The men all had extraordinary demeanor, and the women had peach blossom faces. Just by looking at the demeanor of the four people, you could tell that the four of them had extraordinary backgrounds.
The four of them easily found the cave where the sword energy was gushing out.
But none of them went in recklessly.
One person's eyes flickered, and he stepped out from the crowd and held his hands in the direction of the cave: "I don't know which senior is practicing here. Four of us, the disciples of Qishang Sword Academy, passed by here and saw a strange phenomenon, so we came to see if there is anything.
Wherever I can help..."
He didn't know if there was anyone inside, it was just a precaution to avoid danger as much as possible. The shocking sword energy just now made the four of them feel frightened.
The disciple who claimed to be from the Qishuang Sword Academy finished speaking, and no sound was heard for a long time.
The four of them looked at each other and saw the greed and excitement in each other's eyes.
There was no sound, so there were only two possibilities. One was that there was no one inside at all; the other was that the swordsman senior inside must have died, and the shocking sword energy just now was a strange phenomenon caused by the energy of that person dissipating after his death.
"It's just as I expected! You guys wait here while I go in to find out what's going on." The man who spoke, relying on his status as a senior brother, gave instructions.
The other three people showed reluctance, because according to this trend, there is a big opportunity inside, and it is almost a sure thing. Once this person is allowed in, even if there is a heavy treasure, there will be nothing wrong with them.
Without waiting for the three people to reply, the man couldn't wait and rushed into the cave with the light of his sword.
Just as the three people behind them looked anxious.
Sudden!
Boom!
The man who had just rushed in with his front legs was lying on his back, blood was pouring from his mouth, and he flew out with frightened eyes.
The three people behind were shocked when they saw it, and quickly retreated to prepare for the attack.
In the cave, Li Kezhou walked out leisurely dressed as a Taoist.
Everyone, including the injured man, was shocked when they saw this.
Because the person who came out was not only not a dying old man as they imagined, but a young man who looked not much older than them.
Thinking of the vision just now and the man who had just sprayed blood and flew upside down, several people hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "It turns out they are my senior brothers in the swordsmanship. Just now, my four senior brothers were very reckless. Please bear with me, senior brother."
Li Kezhou looked at the four of them and said nothing for a while.
At this time! The disciple who was knocked out, was seriously injured, and looked embarrassed, with an angry expression in his eyes: "Who are you? Tell me your name quickly, so that you know that the four of us are swordsmen."
A disciple of the second level of the academy!"
When talking about his identity, the man looked proud.
"Second Heaven of Sword Academy??"
Li Kezhou smiled slightly when he heard this.
Thirty years ago, he was the Holy Son of the Sword Academy. Not only did he know all the disciples of the Second Heaven, but he could also recognize their faces. Judging from the age and appearance of these four people, it was obvious that this one was thirty years old.
, the new disciple.
"Who is the current Saint Son of the Sword Academy?" Li Kezhou asked calmly.
When the other party asked about the Holy Son of the Sword Academy, the four of them looked arrogant. The only woman among them said, "This time, our Holy Son of the Sword Academy is none other than Song Xi, the King of Sword Masters."
Li Kezhou nodded slightly: "I haven't heard of it, but it seems that he is also a genius who has just emerged in the past thirty years."
Hearing Li Kezhou's ignorance, the seriously injured man said: "More than just a genius, my senior brother is the person who has been practicing swordsmanship for thirty years and is expected to be the strongest in the world, and I am the core member of the [Songjian Tower] created by my senior brother..."
Li Kezhou smiled: "In this thirty years, is it possible to become the strongest in the world? It is indeed amazing! Then who was the strongest in the world in the last thirty years?"
When the four people heard his question, they all showed doubtful expressions, because in their opinion, as long as they were from the Sword Domain, it was impossible not to know who this person was.
The woman took a serious look at Li Kezhou and said: "Senior brother, it seems that he has been hiding from the world for too long. Even thirty years ago, Li Mochen, who was alone in the world with one person and one halberd, didn't know..."
Li Kezhou was stunned when he heard this: "Li Mochen? How can this person deserve to be the strongest swordsman for thirty years?"
When the four of them heard this, they laughed in surprise and thought: They are really ignorant people.
One person laughed and said: "Senior brother, I don't know. Back then, Li Mochen fought with the Sword Immortal. It is said that the two of them died together. To this day, his body is still frozen in Zunfeng Sword Domain, under the ten thousand feet of black ice..."
Li Kezhou thought to himself: It is indeed a lie.
As the person involved, he naturally knew in his heart that there was no such thing as perishing together. It was true that he was frozen, but the sword fairy, in order to save his life, broke through the limit of strength and was exiled to the outside world, instead of being so-called dead.
The four of them looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the other party had no intention of causing trouble for them.
Although they are disciples of the Sword Academy, in this wilderness, if the other party is not good for them, it will be a very dangerous thing.
The woman seemed to have something in mind, and suddenly said: "Senior brother's swordsmanship is so high, why don't you participate in the elder election held recently by our sword academy? Based on the strength of senior brother, he will definitely come out on top. From now on, there will be seniors in the sword academy.
A place for you.”
Li Kezhou was confused when he heard this: "This is something new. I have only heard of selecting disciples for the Sword Academy. When did you start choosing elders from all over the world? Has the Qishang Sword Academy declined to this point?"
The four of them were so angry that they dared not speak.
Li Kezhou stopped paying attention to the four of them and walked away in an instant with the light of his sword...
"Junior Sister! Why did you tell this person about the selection of elders in our Sword Academy? The origin of this person is a mystery. He seems to know nothing about the past thirty years. However, his cultivation is so strong. His origin should not be too simple.
.”
The woman did not answer, but showed a mysterious smile.
…
Li Kezhou didn't take this matter seriously, and he was completely uninterested in the matter of running for elders from beginning to end.
He suddenly remembered the Kamaita whom he parted with in Montenegro.
"I got separated from Kamaitachi, and I don't know if it is still waiting for me in Black Mountain. But with its current strength, I don't have to worry about its safety. There is no harm in letting it wander on its own."
While thinking, a city appeared in front of him.
The place he went to this time was the Violent Blood Tavern, with the purpose of asking Ji Hongyu about the "Four Sword Sources".
He passed through the dim tavern and arrived at the underground world through familiar routes.
Thirty years have passed and everything here is as usual, but the beautiful woman sitting at the bar has been replaced by someone else.
This is a woman with charming eyes and silky eyes, and her temperament is very similar to Ji Hongyu.
"I haven't been here for thirty years, and I can't believe that everything has changed. Where did Ji Hongyu go?" Li Kezhou sat in front of the bar and asked first without waiting for the woman to speak.
The woman smiled: "Your Excellency turns out to be an old friend of my tutor."
"Since thirty years ago, the family teacher has no longer been responsible for the affairs here. She has been given more important tasks. The family teacher has entrusted me with the matters here. Is there anything I can do to help my senior?"
As the woman spoke, she looked at Li Kezhou calmly.
Even though she claimed to know everything and inherited a huge amount of information from her master, she couldn't figure out the origin of the young Taoist in front of her.
