Chapter 1108 The Fifth Force
As the king of Daxia, Zhou Jinnian has been practicing for more than four hundred years. His own cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Juyuan Realm, and he can be considered a master in the secular world.
It’s just that his cultivation is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Nine Great Sects and Wushuang City, otherwise he would not have been captured so easily by the Seven Ghosts of Underworld.
"I have met several immortal envoys from Wushuang City. Thank you very much for saving my life!"
Zhou Jinnian bowed very respectfully to Song Ru, Liang Yan and others, and the people behind him Several descendants of the royal family also kowtowed and saluted.
"There is no need to be polite."
Song Ru waved her hand and said calmly: "Your Zhou family governs the country well, and the people of Xia Kingdom all return home. It is impossible for us in Wushuang City to ignore death."
< br>"Yes." Fang Liren also took a step forward, hehe He laughed and said: "From now on, you will still be your king of Xia Kingdom. As for the matters here, our Wushuang City will take care of them."
"I can't thank you enough!"
Zhou Jinnian cupped his hands and looked at Situ Kuangsheng again.
Speaking of which, he should call this person "cousin", but judging from the other person's indifferent attitude, he couldn't call him this name no matter what.
“Thank you, Senior Situ, for the rescue.”
After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Jinnian still said this.
"You don't need to thank me. If you weren't my aunt's son, I wouldn't bother to make this trip." Situ Kuangsheng's tone was cold and he didn't even look at him. He didn't take Zhou Jinnian to heart at all. .
From beginning to end, his eyes only fell on Liang Yan.
"Liang, I knew you were special that day in Fanghu Immortal Valley, but today I found out that you are also a swordsman!" Situ Kuangsheng said with a half-smile: "The two of us can be considered as close rivals, so-called choice. It's better to hit the sun than to hit the sun , How about we have a sword debate in this Qiyun Cave?”
“I’m just a rough swordsman, how can I discuss swords with the true king?”
Liang Yan haha? He smiled, not intending to fight.
Now that the mission of Bihai Palace has been completed, he does not want to cause any complications. A sword fight with Situ Kuangsheng here will not only bring no benefit at all, but may cause other variables.
“Proficient in swordsmanship? I don’t think so?” Situ Kuangsheng narrowed his eyes and suddenly sneered: “Whether you can fight or not, you have to try to know!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pinched the sword in his hand, and the "Soul-stealing and Killing Intent Sword" above his head let out a long roar and flew out, heading straight for Liang Yan!
The sword was struck without any warning. It was almost instantaneous. No one present could react. Even Liang Yan was slightly stunned.
“Isn’t this Situ Kuangsheng a lunatic? How come he’s going to be beaten whenever he wants?”
Liang Yan cursed in his heart and did not dare to neglect. He raised his hand and patted Taixu gourd on his waist. , and sacrificed his Black Lotus Sword again.
The two flying swords flew up into the air, and they exchanged more than ten moves in an instant. The sword energy flew in all directions, going back and forth, cutting holes into the huge cave.
When Fang Liren, Ji Lai and others saw this, they stepped back more than ten feet at the same time. As for Song Ru, she made a magic spell with one hand and released a blue light, protecting Zhou Jinnian and other royal members inside.
Brush! brush! brush!
In mid-air, the two flying swords came and went, refusing to give in to each other. During the short trial, the two sides temporarily maintained a tie.
In fact, Situ Kuangsheng's swordsmanship is already quite good. Although he has not yet entered the Jianwan realm, his sword has been condensed to about half a foot, which can almost be said to be the prototype of Jianwan. In addition, he has broken through the profound entrance and advanced to the level of true king, so the power of his sword moves is naturally incomparable.
On the other hand, Liang Yan, although his swordsmanship was far superior to his opponent, it was impossible to sacrifice the sword pill in front of everyone. And his "Phaseless Sword Sutra" originally stated that the more flying swords, the more powerful it would be. Now that he only relies on one flying sword, he is gradually becoming unable to do what he wants.
Situ Kuangsheng nourished his sword with blood and tempered it with battle. The "soul-stealing sword with killing intent" was a flying sword that never retreated. At this time, as the sword's power gradually took shape, the sword moves began to become fierce and domineering.
The two of them fought for nearly a hundred moves, and Liang Yan suddenly felt a light in his heart and had a vague epiphany.
The "Fish and Dragon Dance" technique is obscure and difficult to understand. Even though he had the "Tao Sword Sutra" as a foundation and spent two years studying it in the cave, his progress was still very slow.
But today's sword fight with Situ Kuangsheng awakened the spiritual power hidden in his body. It was as if two of him were enlightened by the sword at the same time. Many things that he had not understood before suddenly became clear at this moment. There is a kind of pleasure of lifting up the clouds and seeing the sun.
He was originally forced to fight with swords, but at this time, he began to immerse himself in it. The swords from both sides were going back and forth, without any hesitation in every move.
A trace of doubt flashed in Situ Kuangsheng's eyes, because before the hundred moves, he had clearly suppressed the opponent completely, but he did not expect that after the hundred moves, the opponent's sword power showed signs of rising. Before his fierce attack, Well, he was not completely defeated yet.
He raised his head and glanced at Liang Yan, and found that the other person's eyes were extremely focused, as if he was still thinking carefully and had a vague enlightenment in this fierce sword fight.
"What a man surnamed Liang, I didn't make a mistake, you are indeed the same type of person as me!"
Situ Kuangsheng laughed loudly, pinched the sword in his hand fiercely, and his figure also Flashing in mid-air, the sword light of the "Soul-stealing and Killing Intent Sword" flourished, and a giant sword shadow appeared in mid-air, slashing towards Liang Yan's head.
This move is exactly the sword move used by Situ Kuangsheng to defeat Mo Hanshan just now. It is so powerful that it has surpassed most of the spells in the early stage of Tongxuan Realm. Even some monks in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm can't use it. He may not be able to take this sword.
"Situ Kuangsheng is indeed a genius in swordsmanship!"
Among the people watching at this time, Song Ru exclaimed in surprise.
“This person has just advanced to the early stage of Tongxuan Realm. Even the realm is not yet stable, but he has been able to defeat monks like Mo Hanshan who advanced to Tongxuan Realm hundreds of years ago. And look at this sword With such power, he may be able to compete with a monk in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm!" Fang Liren also sighed with emotion.
After hearing this, Song Ru nodded and said: "With such a genius in the Situ family, I'm afraid it won't take many years to compete with the nine major sects."
These people There was a lot of discussion, and the Xia royal family on the side was even more fascinated.
The several young men beside Zhou Jinnian are all his nephews and grandnephews. They usually practice in the royal family and are all pampered.
Their horizons are not high, and the monks they come into contact with are at the late stage of Juyuan Realm at most. Occasionally they meet a monk of the Golden Core Stage passing through the Xia Kingdom. They are all worshiped as immortals. When have they seen them? This kind of fighting technique at the level of Tongxuan Realm?
"Is this the power of Zhenjun Tongxuan? He is indeed a land god!" A horse-faced man wearing a brocade robe said enviously.
“This is sword cultivation, it’s really refreshing! Hahaha, if I could have this kind of sword cultivation, what kind of prince would I be? Drinking makes me crazy. Aren't these days free and happy?" The person who spoke was a young man with long hair and unkempt clothes. If he were not standing next to Zhou Jinnian, he would not be able to tell that he was a member of the royal family.
Next to this young man, there was a boy who was younger than him, about eight or nine years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of big black eyes that were very smart.
"Brother, what is happy enmity? Why is there no such word in the school books?" The boy grabbed the young man's hand and asked in a childish tone.
The young man from before smiled, raised his hand and tapped the boy's forehead, and said softly: "Of course there is nothing like what the old gentleman taught. The so-called grudges and grudges are just to be happy"
In the middle of his words, his face suddenly stiffened and he said no more.
Because at this moment, a crack appeared on the boy's delicate and lovely face for no reason!
This scene was extremely strange. His younger brother seemed unaware of it. He still had his big curious eyes open and a cute smile on his lips, but there was a crack on his cheek from the left corner of his eye to the right corner of his mouth.
Nothing could be seen in the crack, only thick black mist.
"You, you."
The young man who just said that he would conquer the world with a sword was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a face full of horror, pointing at his own. Brother, I can’t even speak clearly.
Almost at the same time, Song Ru on the side also noticed the situation here. When she saw the crack on the boy's face that was emitting black mist, her pupils shrank suddenly.
"Not good!"
Song Ru shouted in her heart, shot out a blue light from her hand, and rushed forward towards the Xia Kingdom royal family.
However, the blue light she emitted had just flown halfway when the crack on the boy's face suddenly exploded, and a fierce and domineering spiritual power surged out from it, sweeping around with the power to destroy everything.
In the panic, Song Ru had no time to save everyone, so she could only grit her teeth and roll up Zhou Jinnian with a blue light. Then she pinched the magic formula in her hand quickly and brushed out a circle of blue light to protect Fang Liren and everyone around her. Buwen Jushi, Ji Lai and Li Xiran were all guarding him inside.
The next moment, a loud noise was heard.
Boom!
A steady stream of black energy gushes out from the boy's face, and overwhelming power sweeps around. Song Ru, as the Tongxuan True Monarch, tried her best to protect the body with a spiritual light that was also affected by this power. It swayed left and right under the wash, and was almost unsustainable due to the wind and rain.
The Seven Ghosts of Huangquan, who were seriously injured by Song Ru and Liang Yan, were knocked into the body by this force before they could even say a word. They instantly vomited blood and their stumps flew around.
Before they could scream, billowing black air had already filled the air, sweeping over the Seven Ghosts of Underworld in just an instant. Whether they were dead or seriously injured, they were all At this moment, it was turned into thick black water.
The seven ghosts of the underworld have really become ghosts under the spring.
At the same time, Liang Yan, who was fighting with swords, was on the verge of realization.
If it were two years ago, he would never be the opponent of Situ Kuangsheng after he was promoted to Tongxuan with only a flying sword.
But now, he can barely support himself with only a flying sword. Although he is always at a disadvantage during the entire sword fight, it is this dangerous environment that deepens his understanding of "Fish and Dragon Dance" 》comprehension.
"Yeki Bai didn't lie to me. "Fish and Dragon Dance" is unpredictable. It is indeed a rare and wonderful skill."
Liang Yanzheng was thinking about whether to sacrifice another one. Feijian tried a few more moves with Situ Kuangsheng, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the astonishing scene just now.
Among the Xia Kingdom's royal family, there was an eight or nine-year-old boy who had a crack on his face. Then violent power and black energy surged out, killing the other members of the Xia Kingdom's royal family and the Seven Ghosts of Underworld in an instant. A clean one.
"No, there are other people secretly behind what happened today!"
Liang Yan understood instantly. I am afraid that except for the Situ family, Wushuang City, Huangquan Palace and Chi Besides Xiao Academy, there is also a fifth-party force that is eyeing this place, and it has been planned in advance, just waiting for them to take advantage of this trap!
Fortunately, Song Ru's reaction was also extremely fast, and she rescued Zhou Jinnian, the king of Daxia, and four of his subordinates just before the black energy swept around.
Seeing that Ji Lai, Li Xiran and the others were temporarily safe, Liang Yan breathed a sigh of relief silently.
At this moment, Situ Kuangsheng also pressed the sword light and glanced around with a gloomy expression.
Although he is a fighting maniac, it does not mean that he is a fool. In this situation, it is obvious that someone has plotted against him, so it is naturally impossible for him to attack Liang Yan again.
The two of them took the flying swords back in front of them at the same time. The "Soul-stealing Killing Sword" and "Black Lotus Sword" quickly rotated around their master, forming two sword apertures, one black and one white, rolling around them. All the black energy that came was scattered.
"This is."
Somewhere in Liang Yan's body jumped slightly, as if he had a weak reaction to the black energy.
But before he could make a judgment, the entire cave suddenly shook violently, and then dozens of earth-yellow rays of light flew up from all corners and quickly closed upward.
“No, someone has set up a magic circle here!”
Liang Yan and Situ Kuangsheng reacted the fastest. Song Ru was a little slower, but she understood immediately.
Brush! brush!
Two rays of light, one gray and one white, drew two long rainbows in the air, a few minutes faster than the speed of the yellow rays of rays closing upwards, just before the yellow rays of rays joined together. , and almost flew out of the formation's coverage.
The two figures in the escaping light were none other than Situ Kuangsheng and Liang Yan.
They rushed out of the passage and looked back, only to see that the entire Qiyun Cave had been shrouded in the earthy yellow light, like an eggshell lying upside down on the mountainside.
Although Song Ru responded very quickly, her magical powers were not as good as those of Liang Yan and Situ Kuangsheng. She still failed to break out of the glow of the glow just before the magic circle took effect. At this time, she and Fang Liren, Buwen Jushi, Ji Lai and others were trapped inside together.
Liang Yan had a hint of worry in his eyes, but through the glow of the magic circle, he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. He could only use the compass left behind to judge the two people's temporary situation. All still alive.
"Liang, please stop looking around at this time. Let's take care of ourselves first."
Situ Kuangsheng's cold voice came from the side, causing Liang Yan to withdraw from his thoughts and look above his head.
I saw three monks in black standing on top of the huge statue of Confucian scholars on the edge of the cliff
