Taiping Inn

There was no knife, no one using the knife. The person who used the knife was still far away. The knife energy alone cut the city wall. Even though it was only the wall of a small county town, not as big as the prefectural city, state city, or border town, the extreme cultivation of the person who used the knife was still visible.

After cutting the city wall, the knife energy, like a comet sweeping tail, did not dissipate. Strands of blood-colored aura flowed out from the inside of the city wall, permeating around a crack, just like when a person's skin is cut, because the blade is too sharp, it will take some time for blood to seep out of the wound.

The palace official who had just jumped off the top of the city looked up, then lowered his head again.

Xiao Shiyu's expression was obviously solemn. If he was only facing Li Xuandu, no matter what, Li Xuandu, who had fought a battle with Madam Leng, was already at the end of his strength and was not to be feared. But the owner of this knife was different. Not only was he at the peak, but his realm and cultivation were far better than Li Xuandu now.

In this world, there are only a handful of people who can reach this level of cultivation and use swords.

Xiao Shiyu retracted his sight from the wall that was split in half, turned his head and looked at the end of the sky. At the same time, the white long rope in Xiao Shiyu's hand began to flutter violently without wind.

"Since we are here, why not show up!" Xiao Shiyu waved the long rope in his hand, and the long rope began to extend infinitely, like a long dragon, sweeping across the sky.

As soon as the voice fell, a voice came from the sky. The voice was mellow, which made people think of the image of a gentle gentleman at the first time, like a spring breeze, but if you feel it again, it is like a young man from a noble family who has experienced vicissitudes after his family fell into decline, mature and steady, like a pot of old wine: "Master Xiao, don't worry, I will be there soon."

As soon as the word "just" fell, a stream of light appeared in everyone's sight. When the word "to" sounded, a middle-aged Confucian scholar appeared on the top of the city.

The scholar was wearing a long gown that had been washed to a white color. He tied his hair with an ebony hairpin. His gown and long hair fluttered in the night wind. He put his hands behind his back, looking indescribably free and easy.

Xiao Shiyu's long rope moved with it, turning into a very long streamer, circling around the scholar like a Milky Way.

The scholar raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and his whole arm was immediately enveloped by a thick blood-colored aura. Then he made a downward chopping motion, and this "Milky Way" broke apart with the sound of cloth tearing.

The middle-aged scholar put away his hands, and the aura filled with killing and bloodthirstiness immediately dissipated. He shook his head and smiled, "Dancing gracefully, year after year. The thousand-year dream of flying in the sky, when will it reach the ninth heaven? After so many years, the Xuannv Sect still has not made much progress. It is no longer as glorious as the past when three immortals were born. When will someone ascend to become an immortal?"

Compared to Li Xuandu who only ridiculed Xiao Shiyu himself, the tone of the visitor was even louder, directly targeting the entire Xuannv Sect.

Xiao Shiyu calmed down instead, at least on the surface. She looked at the scholar on the top of the city and sneered, "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be the 'Blood Knife'."

The scholar who suddenly appeared did not avoid the taboo, and bowed and said, "I am Ning Yi, meet you all."

"Blood Knife" Ning Yi, the tenth person on the Taixuan list

When Li Xuandu was at his peak, he was only slightly better than this person. From the first year of Tianbao to the seventh year of Tianbao, six years have passed. Li Xuandu took a big step back and took a small step forward. After all, he still took a step back, and it can't even be considered as standing still. But Ning Yi has always been moving forward, without any stumbling blocks, let alone setbacks. Between this advance and retreat, the gap between the two has become larger and larger. Now Li Xuandu is far from being Ning Yi's opponent.

Yan Feiqing and Su Yun'an both knew about Ning Yi's arrival, because Ning Yi was originally a member of the established plan, but no one expected that he would come here at this time and in this way.

On the surface, Ning Yi is a person of the evil way, and Yan Feiqing and others are people of the righteous way. There must be no intersection. All intersections can only be in secret and in private. Some things are not four taels if they are not weighed, but they can't be weighed on a scale. A thousand pounds. Anyone can use the title of righteousness. Li Xuandu can use righteousness to fight with the Great Sword Immortal. Even Li Daoxu cannot ignore it. Others can also use it to crush Li Xuandu. The verbal dispute between Li Xuandu and Xiao Shiyu just now, in the final analysis, is that both sides constantly try to use righteousness to overwhelm each other, and each denies the righteousness of the other party.

Ning Yi appeared here. If he and Xiao Shiyu were in trouble, except for Li Xuandu, who was a wanderer in the world, others could only stand on Xiao Shiyu's side. This is why Yan Feiqing and others are unwilling to have any intersection with the Xuannv Sect. Compared with the flexible Cihang Sect, the Xuannv Sect is old-fashioned and unkind, just like a Taoist scholar. A Taoist scholar can do some research and can barely enlighten children, but it is absolutely unacceptable to come out as an official. Being a treacherous official, he does not know how to go up and down to gain advantages. Being an honest official, he does not know how to protect the country and the people. It is useless.

In the eyes of the Great Heavenly Master, when it comes to real struggles, whether it is the struggle between good and evil or the struggle between four and six, one must act with one yin and one yang, and take the yang plot as the basis, and must also have the conspiracy as the supplement, just like the art of war, only by combining the strange and the right can one defeat the enemy. Among the six sects of the righteous path, Bai Xiushang, the leader of the Cihang Sect, can best understand the intentions of the Great Heavenly Master, and Xiao Shiyu is the biggest obstacle, so the Great Heavenly Master does not like Xiao Shiyu very much, but because of the internal struggle of the righteous path, in order to prevent the Xuannv Sect from turning to the Qingwei Sect, he has to tolerate her. As a disciple of Zhang Jingxiu, Yan Feiqing knows this very well. But Li Xuandu did not know that in Li Xuandu's view, Xiao Shiyu, who could teach a disciple like Yu Qingning, should be a respectable senior in the world, so he attracted Xiao Shiyu, and it became the current situation, which was beyond Li Xuandu's expectation.

Li Xuandu and Yan Feiqing exchanged glances, and at the same time saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Ning Yi, however, had no such scruples. He seemed to have turned back into the scholar he was back then, only with more traces of time. But deep in his eyes, there was a deep sea of ​​blood.

No one knew what happened to Ning Yi, including the palace officials and Mrs. Leng. Only Ning Yi knew.

Going out to sea to find medicine, refining elixirs from corpses, and resurrecting the dead.

This was the method given by the geomancer. As for the result, it was only God who knew before, but now only he knew.

After a long silence, the blood in Ning Yi's eyes receded like a tide, and he regained his composure and slowly said, "Just now I heard that Sect Master Xiao wanted Zifu to take three of your palms. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that I lost to the Sword Immortal of Zifu in the Northwest Sword Seizure. So in my opinion, Sect Master Xiao's move at this time may be suspected of taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

Xiao Shiyu asked, "What do you want?"

Ning Yi said, "Why don't I take those three palms for him, and then... Sect Master Xiao takes my sword, how about it?"

Xiao Shiyu knew that he was no match for Ning Yi, but he was still not afraid at all, and answered with a word "OK".

Ning Yi laughed loudly: "Okay, that's great. Please let Sect Master Xiao take action. Please also be quick. It's best to do three consecutive palms. Don't waste time."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Shiyu had already taken action. His figure instantly came in front of Ning Yi, and the first move was the most superior "Nine Heavens Cloud Rain Style" in the Xuannv Sect's fist and palm kung fu, which was transformed from the three strange numbers that should be overcome. It was like a fire rising and a wind blowing. It rose like spring thunder in a dry land, and the jade rabbit fell into the spring, and it fell like wind and clouds. Its moves were as gentle as a swimming dragon, like light smoke and mist, and the changes were unpredictable.

These three palms were already exquisite, and with the help of Xiao Shiyu's "Emperor and Female Kung Fu", even the ordinary great masters of the heavenly realm did not dare to take it hard, otherwise they would be injured by the palm if they were not careful.

Ning Yi just pushed out a palm flatly and faced Xiao Shiyu's palm.

The two of them were both at the Immortal Realm, and when their palms met, there was no sound at all. After a moment of stalemate, Ning Yi smiled and said, "Sect Master Xiao is no better than this."

After the words fell, Xiao Shiyu's face turned pale, his arms trembled slightly, and even his bones made a slight "crackling" sound, like the sound of frying beans, which was obviously caused by the backlash of the Qi.

Ning Yi exerted force again, and immediately forced Xiao Shiyu to retreat from the top of the city wall to his original position, and then said, "I took the three palms of Sect Master Xiao, and please take my knife!"
