Wait a minute, heroine

The misty autumn rain turned the sky and the earth into misty black and blue.

Waves hit the edge of the thousand-foot stone platform again and again, hundreds of ships rose and fell with the waves, and the entire lake fell into deathly silence.

Under the gaze of thousands of people, a gray-haired old man with a naked and muscular upper body in an armor skirt walked up to the towering wordless monument step by step. His face was neither happy nor angry, but the unicorn with ferocious eyes around his waist looked like a swallow. The huge beast sitting on its waist stared at the thousands of ants in the audience.

The people who came to Junshan Terrace to watch the excitement during this trip were not only the low-level gangsters, but basically all the heroes from Zezhou and even the surrounding areas came because of Qiu Tianhe's reputation.

On the nearest large ferries, there are Tuzhou Qianhe Villa, Jiangzhou Xiaoshan Castle, and even the martial arts heroes in Tiannan Jianghu. If Wuzhou had not just encountered a chaos and was unable to protect itself, I am afraid that all the heads of the twelve sects of Wuzhou would have been killed. Come half way.

As Xuanyuan Chao, who had been sitting in the position of 'Daogui' for nearly fifty years, appeared, everyone walked out of the ship building, and greetings came one after another:

"Hero Xuanyuan..."

"We haven't seen each other for several years, but Shenhou is still as charming as ever..."

…

Xuanyuan Chao's long hair moved in the wind, and he did not respond to the juniors he knew or didn't know. He just stared at the small awning boat between the gaps with his hawk-like eyes.

On the awning boat, Qiu Tianhe ignored the shocked looks of several brats, and Feng Qingyun stood calmly on the bow:

"Xuanyuan Chao, last year your son bribed the disciples of the Pingtian Sect, tipped off the news to the court, and got me into the black prison dungeon. Did you ever think that I would be a blessing in disguise, regain my freedom, and stand here upright?"

Cha——

Xuanyuan Chao inserted the Junshan Sword on the stone brick beside him and raised his head slightly in the rain:

"Swordsman, let your sword speak. If you want to reason with my traitor, you can go down and talk to me face to face later."

"Buzz..."

Hundreds of celebrities in the martial arts world not far away were in an uproar when they heard this. They understood that the news about the Wuzhou martial arts scene that had just spread was true, and Xuanyuan Hongzhi should be really dead.

When Xuanyuan Chao said these words, he was no longer preparing for a sparring match. He had stated in advance that he wanted to kill someone, and if Qiu Tianhe came on stage again, he couldn't blame Xuanyuan Chao, who had just lost his son, for being too heavy-handed.

Qiu Tianhe was self-aware. He looked down on Xuanyuan Chao's character, but he had never underestimated Xuanyuan Chao's sword skills. He knew better than everyone present whether he could beat him or not.

But they have all been targeted. If he wants to leave, the Xuanyuan Dynasty will obviously not agree. What is in front of him is to die vigorously like a swordsman, or to escape like an adult before he dies.

A fierce battle was destined to be inevitable, Qiu Tianhe did not argue any more, and flew up from the blue waves, landing on the edge of the thousand-foot stone platform.

Both sides had both new and old grudges. They stood on the stage of life and death and didn't say much.

Swish, swish, swish~

Under the drizzle, the originally noisy lake became completely quiet at this moment.

Qiu Tianhe stood quietly in the rain, staring at the burly figure in front of him who was a head taller than him.

Xuanyuan Chao's long hair swayed in the wind. After glancing at Qiu Tianhe with his sharp eyes, he seemed to have lost interest. He turned to look at the large and small boats on the lake, as if he was looking for someone.

In the arena of life and death, this casual attitude is undoubtedly a kind of contempt.

Qiu Tianhe shook his hand and stepped forward:

"Why don't you put the knife on your back first?"

The essence of the Dragon Slaying Order is to "step back and flick the knife with your back." Like the Eight-Step Crazy Sword, the position where the sword is hung is fixed, otherwise it will be difficult to start the attack as quickly as possible.

The people watching the martial arts were a little confused when they saw this scene.

Xuanyuan Chao did not focus on Qiu Tianhe and responded calmly:

"In the past, fighting was a competition to see whose moves were better; today I want to kill someone, so I won't follow the rules with you."

"..."

Qiu Tianhe frowned secretly and slowed down his steps.

After all, Xuanyuan Chao's words were not arrogant, but he was prepared to take action seriously.

The Junshan Sword is too heavy, and the only way to start quickly is to bend the sword with your back. For this reason, all the swordsmen are studying how to break this starting position, so that they can kill the Dragon Slaying Order with one move.

In previous years, Xuanyuan Chao accepted challenges on the Junshan stage, and he never played vainly, so he started with the "bowing back and flicking the knife" to make others defeat him.

Xuanyuan Chao followed the instructions of the Dragon Slaying Order, and any swordsman with some knowledge could catch one or two swords without dying. After all, the moves were clear and he could dodge them if he couldn't fight.

If you don't follow the path, you can't guess how Xuanyuan Chao will attack. You can only use your explosive power, eyesight, reaction, sword skills understanding and other comprehensive strength. If you are weaker, you can decide life or death with one sword.

Qiu Tianhe's eyes narrowed slightly, ignoring all the sounds outside the ring. He concentrated on observing Xuanyuan Chao's stance, breath and even eyes, trying to figure out his opponent's tactics first.

But it is a pity that Xuanyuan Chao is as stable as a huge stone. Everyone knows that if it hits them, they will die, but they just can't figure out how this stone will hit them.

The two of them were tens of feet apart, but Qiu Tianhe walked for a long time, his speed getting slower and slower, and he didn't make any move until the rain got heavier.

The crowd of spectators held their breaths, many of them blushed, but no one urged him.

When the distance between them was reduced to ten feet, Qiu Tianhe had exhausted Xuanyuan Chao's possible sword movements, and without any further hesitation, he held the handle of the sword with his right hand.

Choking——

On the thousand-foot stone platform, a white light suddenly appeared!

Qiu Tianhe's body exploded, and he dragged a single sword with his hand. However, in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from everyone's sight. When he saw it again, the sharp blade had pierced the spine from Xuanyuan to the left and rear.

Boom——

At the same moment, gravel flew on the arena and there was an explosion.

Xuanyuan Chao, who was looking away, didn't even look back. He suddenly kicked the back of the knife beside him with his right foot. He held the handle of the knife with his left hand at the same time. Then he exerted force on his waist and abdomen, all the muscles of his body were tangled, and slashed down to the left rear.

Sa——

The violent air waves flew in all directions on the ring, stirring up the rain curtain around the two of them.

From a distance, it looked like the terrifying Xuanyuan Chao had turned the wind and rain into a huge wave with a backhand knife.

Qiu Tianhe, who is in front of the blade, is like a lone boat in front of the strong wind and huge waves. Even an ordinary person with no strength can see that as long as he is hit by the huge waves, he will be torn apart.

Qiu Tianhe has practiced swordsmanship all his life, and he didn't think he was caught off guard when Xuanyuan Chao might start like this.

But counting and catching are completely different things.

Seeing the heaven-destroying sword coming, Qiu Tianhe immediately put the sword away and dodged sideways, holding the back of the sword with his left hand when the sword and whip in his hand were out of reach.

The next moment, terrifying energy burst out from the ring.

clang--

Boom!

Xuanyuan Chao slashed Qiu Tianhe's sword with his backhand, without giving the opponent the slightest chance to strike back. The force was so great that it directly moved Qiu Tianhe sideways.

Before the sliding body came to a complete stop, Xuanyuan Chao, who was as tall as a mountain, had already followed the sword and made a circle. Holding the sword in both hands, he jumped up and slashed down again with the force of splitting Huashan Mountain:

"drink--!"

The roar was like thunder.

There was no gap between the two knives, and the terrifying energy that exploded in an instant forced the surrounding rain curtains back, clearing a long groove on the ground.

Although Qiu Tianhe would not lose his position, Xuanyuan Chao's sword was so fierce that it was almost impossible to evade it without getting hurt. He could only block with the sword and use the force to move.

clang--

The heavy knife fell again, and the stone bricks under Qiu Tianhe's feet shattered instantly, and the whole person slid backwards.

Xuanyuan Chao, who was wearing an armored skirt, swung a Junshan heavy sword like the wind, leaving no gaps. He almost followed Qiu Tianhe out, and the sword fell again, leaving a huge crater on the ground.

Boom——

The top players who can see clearly from the lake will know that the winner is decided when they see this scene.

Xuanyuan Chao's sword skills are so simple that there is no explanation. They are purely crushing with hard power, and they are a style of fighting that defeats ten enemies with one force.

Qiu Tianhe used the Tianhe Sword, which was good at anticipating the backhand. At this time, he didn't even have a chance to make a backhand, so there was no possibility of winning.

Qiu Tianhe struck three swords in a row, and the tiger's mouth holding the sword had been shattered. He knew that he had no chance of winning, and he might die suddenly if he continued to fight, so he immediately flew back and jumped towards the lake shore.

Although Junshan Terrace is thousands of feet wide, the place where the two met was in front of the wordless monument by the lake.

As long as he gets out of the ring, no matter how thick-skinned Xuanyuan Chao is, he can't chase down his opponent who has already given up in front of tens of thousands of people.

But it was a pity that Xuanyuan Chao said that life and death meant life and death. Seeing Qiu Tianhe trying to escape, he came to the lake in a flash and blocked the retreat.

The crowd of heroes who were watching saw that Xuanyuan Chao was really murderous, and they naturally frowned.

At this time, a roar suddenly came from among the ship piles, accompanied by the explosion of the deck being shattered.

Boom——

People nearby looked out of the corner of their eyes and saw the stern of a small boat suddenly raised on the lake where thousands of sails gathered.

And a black figure flew across the calm lake at an astonishing and terrifying speed. The strong wind it brought directly pulled out white waves more than ten feet high on the water. From a distance, it seemed as if the lake was split into two instantly.

Wow——

The waves were like sharp arrows, flying across dozens of feet in the blink of an eye, aiming directly at the burly old man who had just landed on the shore.

Qiu Tianhe was about to rush forward, but when he saw this scene, a flash of astonishment flashed across his eyes, and he stopped hastily.

Xuanyuan Chao, who was blocking the road, noticed the strong wind approaching from behind and stopped. He pointed the knife diagonally at the ground with one hand and turned around slowly.

Crash--

The water rose into the sky and quickly fell back to the lake.

The black figure in front of the waves noticed that Xuanyuan Chao had stopped, so he turned around on the lake, flew up and landed in front of the wordless monument not far away.

It was only then that the countless Jianghu people who were watching could clearly see the appearance of the visitor.

The person who came was a man, wearing a black robe made of Shuiyun Brocade, with a bamboo hat on his head. He was quite tall, with a handsome face, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword. There was a long black sheath knife hanging on his waist.

The visitor was dressed as an ordinary swordsman in the martial arts world, but the knife at his waist was very special to the countless swordsmen present.

The knife is three feet and three feet long and two and a half fingers wide. The handle is wrapped with black rope, and the tail ring of the guard is made of brass, both of which are carved with dragons.

This is the sword of the previous generation of swordsmen!

This knife was once known to everyone. Although it has disappeared from the world for nearly thirty years, it is still the fastest knife in the world, no one!

The lake surface under the rain curtain fell into silence the moment the visitor appeared.

Xuanyuan Chao held his left hand behind his back. The 108-pound Junshan Sword seemed to be weightless. He pointed at the ground diagonally. With his exaggerated body shape of just over two meters, he was just like an ordinary swordsman, holding a sword that matched his body weight. An ordinary light knife.

Xuanyuan Chao knew that this young swordsman in his twenties was the culprit who killed his son, but he did not focus on the face of the visitor, but only looked at the Chilong Sword at his waist, with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes.

Of course, this is not to miss Zheng Feng, but to miss Kuang Yazi.

There are many top warriors in the world, and there are quite a few who are stronger than Xuanyuan Chao, but the only 'swordsman' who can make him his opponent and target and try his best to catch up is Kuang Yazi.

After defeating Kuang Yazi, Xuanyuan Chao sat in the position of Dao Chief for more than forty years. He seemed to have unlimited glory, but in fact, his life was far less fulfilling than before he was thirty years old.

Because there was no opponent like Kuang Yazi, he didn't know who he should practice the sword in his hand with in the future.

At that time, the Xuanyuan Dynasty was very disgusted with Zheng Feng and showed no mercy. One of the reasons was that he wanted his daughter to enter the palace.

Another reason is that Zheng Feng is too mediocre. He can't even practice the Eight-Step Crazy Sword. He is simply not worthy of the sword that he has worked so hard to pursue for thirty years!

The young swordsman in front of him seemed to be stronger than Zheng Feng.

After Xuanyuan glanced at the Chilong Sword, he raised his eyes to look at the young swordsman in front of the wordless monument:

"Are you the Night Terror Hall?"

Ye Jingtang arrived at Junshan Terrace early in the morning and had been secretly watching the battle. He saw that Qiu Tianhe was at a disadvantage and might be hacked to death, so he came out to disrupt the situation.

Having grown up hearing the name "Xuanyuan Dynasty", and now seeing this contemporary swordsman who is over two meters tall at close range, Ye Jingtang did feel the pressure, but his expression was very natural and he responded calmly:

"Liangzhou Night Terror Hall, my father Zheng Feng."

"Buzz..."

As soon as these words came out, all the celebrities on the lake who heard it were in an uproar.

Zheng Feng is not very famous, but he is known as the Three Great Masters of Yunzhou, and Qiu Tianhe robbed the marriage envoy team behind him. Basically, the swordsmen in the world know a thing or two about the whole story of that incident.

At that time, Xuanyuan Hongzhi secretly provoked the generals, and the Xuanyuan Dynasty killed the younger generation who was obviously far weaker than himself and came to propose marriage. He is still shamed by others to this day.

Now that Zheng Feng's descendants are here, it goes without saying what they want to do.

All the celebrities present at the scene focused their gazes, looked at Ye Jingtang, and quietly asked about the origins of this boy.

Although Xuanyuan Chao's son died, his face did not show any anger, he just said calmly:

"I crippled your father and you killed my son. Do you want to avenge each other, or do you want the court to be the peacemaker and wipe out the past between us?"

Xuanyuan Chao's words seemed to mean that he was not pursuing his son's death and wanted to settle his grudges, but this was not the case.

Because Xuanyuan Chao knew how his son died - he paid to kill Ye Jingtang and capsized the boat. He died because he had no eyesight and took the initiative to find trouble, instead of revenge from Ye Jingtang. It had nothing to do with the grudges of the past.

The adoptive father of Ye Jingtang was beaten and disabled, and he himself was assassinated by people from Junshantai. Not only was this revenge not avenged, but it was also deepened. How could he agree to write it off in one go?

Xuanyuan Chao said so grandly that he would not pursue his son's death, but only told the court in front of tens of thousands of people.

Behind the Night Terror Hall is Prince Jing, and the Xuanyuan Dynasty itself is the founding prince. Whoever kills anyone will cause dissatisfaction in the court.

Xuanyuan Chao first proposed to shake hands and make peace, but Ye Jingtang refused and insisted on revenge. It was unreasonable for Prince Jing to pursue Junshantai's responsibility afterwards.

Ye Jingtang has always known that it would be difficult for the court to handle this matter, and he also understood Xuanyuan Chao's intention and said directly:

"You crippled my father until he died young; your son came to kill me and almost caused me to be buried in Baywater Town. How can there be such a big hatred?"

"That's revenge."

Xuanyuan Chao's long hair moved in the wind as he examined the Night Terror Hall with condescending eyes:

"You, like your father, are too reckless and upright. If you want to take revenge, you should have the strength before you come. Now you come here just to pay for my son's life."

The Night Terror Hall has already come, let’s not talk about whether to fight or not. He spoke forcefully about the situation and said to this:

"I'm afraid that in two years' time, you won't be able to bring up the sword and your revenge will not be satisfying."

That’s it for now, there’s no need to say more.

Up and down the Junshan stage, it became quiet again.

Qiu Tianhe had already sheathed his sword, probably because he was afraid that Ye Jingtang would overpower him and end up with the same fate as Zheng Feng, so he came to Ye Jingtang, ready to fight two against one if the situation went badly.

Xuanyuan Chao didn't care about this and turned to look at the lake.

On the lake, the boat that was almost overturned was leaning against the shore.

An 'accompanying concubine' dressed in white, with a curtain hat on her head, jumped up to Junshan Terrace with several weapons in her arms.

Xuanyuan glanced at the weapons a few times, and his eyes first fell on the five-foot-long sword, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:

"This Muqing sword is a weapon studied by Sun Muqing, a Tiannan swordsman. Sun Muqing used a light sword at first, but was defeated by Kuangyazi. Later, he changed to a heavy sword, but was defeated by the old man again. Knowing that he had no hope of becoming a swordsman, Sun Muqing lived in seclusion in Huangquan Town. I have spent my whole life studying how to defeat these two sword techniques and built this knife. Are you going to use this knife to deal with me?"

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he always understood why the proprietress was very unhappy when the shopkeeper told him to give him the knife. Not surprisingly, the knife should be a relic of the old shopkeeper.

He borrowed the knife because he really wanted to see if he could develop a method to defeat the Dragon Slaying Order. However, even if he could develop it, he would not be able to use it against Xuanyuan Chao with the proficiency gained in one night.

Last night when practicing sword skills, he found that the sword was too long, the sword was not drawn smoothly enough with his left hand, and the move to receive the Dragon Slaying Order was too light. Although the attack distance was doubled, he could even use the 'Huanglong Sleeping Path', 'Blue Dragon's Claw', etc. Moves, but they are all used like this, and the big gun is more powerful.

After seeing Master Xuanji's martial arts accomplishments of "a basic attack is a big move, and a fox tail can make its own tricks", he thought about it for half a night and felt that the idea of ​​​​this sword should be wrong.

The sword technique has been taken to the next level, the focus is on the ‘method’ rather than the ‘knife’.

Really good swordsmanship should indeed follow the golden mean, but it should be 'long or short, fast or slow, heavy or light'. Holding a wooden stick can also have the power to cut mountains, and carrying a heavy knife can also be dexterous. wind.

To achieve this effect, it depends on the person using the knife, not the style of the knife.

Seeing Xuanyuan asking, Ye Jingtang shook his head:

"My previous thoughts were the same as those of the predecessors who forged this sword. I thought that in order to conquer all the swordsmanship in the world, the sword must be neither light nor heavy, neither long nor short, nor fast nor slow.

“In the end, I discovered that everything is possible, but everything is not perfect.

"I can use this knife to break your dragon-slaying order, I can break Monk Shenchen's golden body with Junshan Knife; I can use this knife to break Kuang Yazi's Eight-Step Crazy Sword, and if I use the Chilong Knife, I can probably beat Lu Taiqing.

"This knife is a good knife, but people who are incompetent can't use it well. People who can use it well don't need it anymore."

Master Xuanji, who was quietly working as a vase, tilted her head slightly when she heard these words, with a bit of surprise in her eyes.

After all, she just said casually when she was drunk last night, "That's not how knives are used." Unexpectedly, when she woke up, Ye Jingtang would actually have some new insights.

Xuanyuan Chao commented:

"Good understanding. However, you haven't practiced to the point where 'no sword is better than having a sword'. Without this sword to make tricks, how can you defeat the Dragon Slaying Order?"

Ye Jingtang held the handle of the knife with his left hand and raised his bamboo hat slightly:

"The only martial arts in the world is fast. The Eight-Step Crazy Sword is the fastest sword technique in the world. It is naturally the strongest sword technique. There should be no opponents. If you can be targeted and interrupted, you can only say that you are not fast enough, not Knife skills are not good.

“The fact that you can break Kuangyazi’s sword means that Kuangyazi’s sword is not yet at its peak speed, but it’s not that your swordsmanship is superior.

"I'm different. My knife can be faster than Kuang Yazi."

…
