In the sky, Liao Yan's long sword danced as fast as lightning, and the cyclone circulated around him. Looking at it, it looked like surging wind and clouds. Around the cyclone, there were extremely dazzling purple lights, as thick as a baby's arm.
"Purple Current Cloud Sword, Lightning and Thunder!"
Liao Yan's whole aura suddenly increased at this moment. Twelve rays of blood were particularly conspicuous between his limbs. A fine long sword in his right hand swung out dense lightning, like the god of thunder coming to the world.
"Crackling..." Around the top of the mountain, thunder quickly pierced the silent night sky, just like the eve of an impending summer storm, and the sound was quite alarming.
"This is the Liuyun Sect's treasure, it's really powerful!" Shen Chen was secretly shocked. In terms of moves alone, the starting position of the Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword is not as powerful as the Netherworld Ghost Slash.
The most important thing is that the execution of the Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword is obviously not as laborious as the Youyou Nine Swords. It can be carried out with just raising your hand, and every movement is extremely coherent.
Shen Chen knew very well that it was a good thing that the sect leader had no ill intentions towards him. Otherwise, the speed at which the latter swung the Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword would have prevented him from having the chance to launch the Youyou Nine Slashes.
This Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword can be regarded as the best among human-level upper-level martial arts. Compared with many earth-level martial arts, I am afraid it is not far behind. If Youyou Nine Slashes is outstanding for its ruthlessness, then the characteristics of this set of swordsmanship are: Character--
quick!
Not just mediocrely fast, but also fast and smooth.
However, Shen Chen is not a mediocre person. Liao Yan had obviously given him enough preparation time before. At this time, Shen Chen's figure had already flashed into one piece. The three moves of Netherworld Ghost Slash, Shadow Ghost Sword, and Nether Spring Breaking Flow were already ready. Fa, but it's not that he has no ability to parry.
"kill!"
Shen Chen also had a strong fighting spirit. When he was at the fourth level of the Blood Fusion Realm, he was able to compete with strong men at the peak of the Blood Fusion Realm. Such opportunities were rare and would be very helpful for his future training.
"Netherworld Ghost Slash!"
"Shadow Ghost Sword!"
"The quiet spring has stopped flowing!
"One move and three moves, break it for me!"
The next moment, Shen Chen's three phantoms merged into one, and the iron sword in his hand was completely blurred, turning into a sword beam, and quickly killed the flying figure.
Different from the huge noise caused by Liao Yanzi's current lightsaber, after Shen Chen's three moves were combined into one, all the blood in his body and the energy around him disappeared instantly, as if what Shen Chen had performed was just an ordinary blow. That's all.
However, this is also the subtlety of Youyou's Nine Slashes combined into one move. It seems that all the power is concentrated on the sword's trajectory that cannot be caught by the naked eye.
On that day, Lin Hai, who ranked fifth in the Liuyun Sect's inner sect, was killed in the air by Shen Chen's three moves combined into one, and his head was missing.
"What a handsome swordsmanship. Your kid's understanding is really surprising. If you can successfully learn the complete Youyou Nine Slashes, I'm afraid you won't be far away from mastering the real sword energy..." Liao Yan held his sword and faced the man head-on. Dao Jian Gang couldn't help but praise him greatly.
In his words, Liao Yan was also rare and solemn. The leader of the Liuyun Sect had not fought with anyone for many years. At the moment, he did not want to overwhelm Shen Chen with his superiority in cultivation level, but only wanted to compete with him based on his sword skills.
"clang!"
The iron sword and the precious sword collided head-on in the air, and the sound of the collision was clear and deafening. An astonishing wave spread instantly, uprooting some of the surrounding weeds and causing dust to fly.
At the same time, I saw that the sword wielded by Shen Chen was much dimmed, but it still had enough power to continue charging forward.
"Purple Qi is coming from the east!"
However, although Liao Yan's figure paused slightly in mid-air, he did not fall. Then, he only saw his toes flying a little higher. Without any place to adjust his body shape, he still used an incredible angle of attack to stir up the body. The sword blade swung out the second move of the Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword.
And the time between before and after happened almost in a flash of lightning. It would be difficult for ordinary people to tell with the naked eye that Liao Yan had taken action twice.
It has to be said that although the martial arts practiced by the leader of Liuyun Sect cannot be combined into one move like Youyou Nine Slashes, with his proficiency in swordsmanship and his twelve-blood-melting realm The heavy and tyrannical cultivation and the speed of the moves actually created the illusion of combo attacks.
"Stab it!"-
With a sharp cutting sound, Liao Yan no longer suffered a small loss like before when they fought for the second time. Purple energy surged from the sword in his hand, and with a casual wave, he split Shen Chen's sword. Dao Jian Gang.
Then, Liao Yan, who had already gained the upper hand, did not continue to charge forward. He only saw his figure slowly falling down and retracting his attack easily. Shen Chen on the opposite side was dumbfounded and a little unbelievable.
"Haha, not bad, not bad. No wonder Situ Ya values you so much. You are indeed a good material for cultivation." The sword was sheathed, and Liao Yan then walked towards Shen Chen with a smile, his face full of admiration.
As the leader of a sect, Liao Yan has a very discerning eye, and it is difficult for ordinary disciples to fall into his eyes. However, Shen Chen's performance just now made this sect leader think highly of him.
You must know that although Liao Yan had deliberately restrained the blood energy in his body before, some of the instincts of the twelfth level of the Blood Fusion Realm could not be avoided after all. Shen Chen, as a disciple, could force him, the sect leader, to use two moves to suppress the sect. Martial arts is already extremely strong. Even Qi Zheng, who ranked first in the inner sect, could not hold on to a single move in Liao Yan's hands back then...
"The sect master has thanked you. Shen Chen can retreat safely. He must thank the sect master for his mercy. If the sect master had used more strength, Shen Chen would be a dead man now." Faced with the praise of the sect master, Shen Chen did not dare to trust him. Da, responded with a serious look.
"Well, you're a very good boy. You know that it's a good thing to be strong in martial arts, but strength in cultivation is king." Liao Yan nodded, "So in the future, don't be complacent because of your unique skills. You must persevere. Improve your cultivation. After all, when you encounter a life-and-death battle in the future, your enemies will not care about fairness..."
"What the patriarch taught, Shen Chen will definitely remember it in his heart." Shen Chen nodded solemnly. He did not resent Liao Yan speaking to him in that tone. On the contrary, he was very grateful to the patriarch for telling him this.
The experience of two lifetimes tells Shen Chen that what Liao Yan just said is a piece of good advice. It is a reality that he must always recognize in this continent where the strong are respected. I and others are too lazy to say that.
Seeing that Shen Chen did not act arrogantly at all, the admiration in Liao Yan's eyes became more intense and his smile became gentler. He looked at the young man in front of him with burning eyes and said softly: "I was watching you just now. When using Youyou Nine Slashes, the three moves in one move are overbearing, but they also consume too much of one's own health. When fighting with others, it is best to kill with one hit. If you cannot kill with one hit, you will be very passive in the future. "
"What the sect master said is absolutely true, but this is a major shortcoming of Youyou Jiuzhan." After hearing this, Shen Chen smiled bitterly. He didn't know what the sect master said, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Youyou Nine Slash is a powerful killing move that is outstanding in its ruthlessness. From the first move of Netherworld Ghost Slash, it consumes all the blood in his body, and the combination of three moves in one move almost overdraws all the blood in his body and the energy in his Dantian. Spiritual power.
In fact, the sect master reminded Shen Chen that he knew very well that it was extremely difficult for him to insist on standing here at the moment.
"In the way of cultivation, only the trump card is not enough. The more methods you have, the more advantageous it is to fight with others. Let's go to the library tomorrow and choose a martial arts skill that you can use. It just so happens that you are already at the fourth level of the Blood Fusion Realm. Yes, I will ask Elder Situ Chuan to make an exception and allow you to enter the third level in advance," Liao Yan said calmly, his face having returned to its previous calmness.
"Is this... Thank you for your kindness, sect master, but this disciple has no such plan in the near future. I just want to practice the three moves in Youyou's Nine Swords Broken Book to become proficient." Hearing this, Shen Chen scratched his head, with a bit of embarrassment on his face. .
Shen Chen's refusal was not because he did not need more means at the moment. On the contrary, he was eager to get another trump card besides Youyou Nine Slashes. The reason why he did not accept Liao Yan's proposal was entirely because of an unspeakable problem. s reason.
Can Shen Chen tell the sect leader in front of him that he no longer likes the martial arts and martial arts in the library?
In fact, it’s not Shen Chen’s fault. Ever since he obtained “Youyou Nine Slashes” and “Concentration of Souls”, Shen Chen’s requirements for martial arts and martial arts have naturally been raised to a big level. It’s like eating alone. After a few times of bird's nest and shark's fin, if someone puts a pig's knuckle in front of him, it will be hard for him to be tempted. This is completely human.
Although Shen Chen is very impatient at the moment, he doesn’t want to waste time. Although Zangshu Pavilion Sancheng has more human-level intermediate martial arts and martial arts for him to choose from, according to Shen Chen’s judgment, it is difficult to find someone like Youyou Jiu. It is even more impossible to find such a powerful martial skill as "Zhan Shen Dao Jue" that can compete with the "Concentration of Souls". The background of the latter is unfathomable and is definitely not something that a small sect like Liuyun Sect can possess...
However, for some reason, Liao Yan seemed a little angry at Shen Chen's refusal.
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense. Just go if you are asked. I don't like pretentious people. Since you refuse, I still insist on you going. It just so happens that the bookshelves in the back row of the third floor of the library are in disrepair. You The boy's behavior just now made me very angry, so you will be the coolie responsible for changing the new set. If you can't finish it in one day, I will make you look good," Liao Yan said angrily, and after saying that, he ignored Shen As Chen felt, his body moved and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.
On the top of the mountain, Shen Chen stood alone in the night wind, stunned, unable to believe his ears.
"Nima!"
After a while, Shen Chen finally couldn't help but uttered a curse word, and his face was completely twisted with anger.
Shen Chen really had the urge to curse. Damn it, no matter where he went in this past life, this ungrateful pretender would definitely not end well!
At this moment, whenever he thinks of the ironwood bookshelves in the library pavilion, which are several feet wide and five or six meters high, Shen Chen has the urge to vomit blood. Good guy, those behemoths, at least one of them weighs tens of thousands of kilograms. Well, replace them all with new ones? Just kill yourself with a sword!
Shen Chen regretted it so much now. If he had known it earlier, he would have gone to the library to take a walk. Why should he suffer such a crime? He burst into tears...
However, Shen Chen's extremely bad mood did not last long. Early the next morning, when he came out from the third floor of the library holding an ancient printed book, sweating profusely and as tired as a dead cow, Shen Chen Chen's whole little face was twitching.
With such a complex complexion, in his previous life, he would have been able to perform facial tricks.
When passing by Situ Chuan, the one-eyed black tiger guarding this place, Shen Chen almost stumbled and fell down.
"Elder Situ, elder master and disciple!" The old man was still full of energy just now, but now he was lying on the table and fast asleep, as if he was drunk, no matter how Shen Chen shook him, he didn't react.
"Elder Situ, please be confident. I have chosen this martial art. Please help me register it." Looking at the exquisite printed book in his hand, Shen Chen was immediately confused. Liuyun Sect has regulations, and anyone can go to the library to get it. Disciples of martial arts must keep records and are not allowed to take them away without permission.
Such regulations are naturally for fear that some disciples with evil intentions will steal the martial arts skills for themselves. However, Shen Chen really has a headache at the moment. The old man is asleep and the registration process is illegal. Should he wait for him to wake up or give him the original? Go back and come back later?
"This..." After a moment, an idea flashed in Shen Chen's mind, and he suddenly thought of something.
His expression became increasingly complicated. After taking a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and bowed solemnly to the sleeping old man Situ Chuan. Then, while there was no one around, he disappeared in front of the library door.
Shen Chen didn't know that a moment after he left, Situ Chuan, who was sleeping soundly on the desk, suddenly got up and stretched, and a playful smile flashed across his shrewd old eyes...
A few days later, a major event occurred within the Liuyun Sect. The leader of the Liuyun Sect, Liao Yan, personally ordered that the inner sect disciple Shen Chen be punished for carrying water for two months at a cost of one hundred denier per day. The reason was that he secretly took away the water while the elders were not paying attention. The sect’s sect-suppressing martial art—Purple Lightning Cloud Sword!
And one of the five elders, the one-eyed black tiger Situ Chuan, because of his negligence and inability to guard the library, was also punished and had to chop firewood for the Alchemy Hall for three months.
This matter had spread, and it immediately caused an uproar throughout the sect.
"Have you heard that that guy Shen Chen secretly learned the martial arts of our sect, the Purple Lightning Liuyun Sword?"
"What? How is this possible? Aren't the Zhen sect's martial arts always possessed by the sect master? How could they fall into the hands of that kid?" Some people wondered.
"Don't mention it. When talking about this matter, all the disciples in the sect are in tears. It is said that the sect leader accidentally lost his martial arts on the third floor of the library. Later, when that guy Shen Chen moved the bookshelf, it turned out to be at the bottom of the bookshelf. I picked it up, damn, this is incredible luck!"
"What's the reaction from the higher-ups after stealing the Zhen sect's martial arts?" Many people want to know what will happen if Shen Chen "stealthly learns" the Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword. After all, it is the sect's most precious treasure.
"It is said that the sect master punished him for carrying water for two months, one hundred denier per day..."
"This... this... this, damn, ah ah! Why don't I get this kind of treatment? Give me the Purple Lightning Liuyun Sword. I am willing to carry water for three years, ah ah..."
Both the disciples of the inner sect and the outer sect were almost going crazy for a while, with all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Even some disciples who were ranked close to the inner sect couldn't sit still. Compared with that little punishment, Shen Chen was simply unlucky, which made them furious...
At the same time, in a room at Yunlan Peak, ignoring Wang Yue who was shouting loudly behind him, Shen Chen stood alone at the window, his back trembling, his eyes slightly red, and the excitement in his heart had already It hasn't happened in years.
"Sect master, master, apprentice, elder, I, Shen Chen, have recorded this kindness..."
