In the days that followed, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang explored the mountains and finally found an ideal place.
A picturesque valley with beautiful mountains and clear waters, chirping birds and fragrant flowers, and abundant spiritual energy. It is a good place for retreat and practice.
They decided to start practicing in seclusion here and concentrate on practicing the newly acquired Spring and Autumn Cicada Kung Fu.
"Fang Yue, what do you think of this place?"
Zhu Linlang looked around with a satisfied smile on her face, "It's such a paradise-like place."
Fang Yue also looked at the surrounding environment, took a deep breath of fresh air, and nodded: "It is indeed a good place. I feel that all the physical and mental fatigue has been washed away. If you practice in seclusion here, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Then let's get started."
Zhu Linlang was eager to try. She couldn't wait to start practicing the newly acquired Spring and Autumn Cicada Skill.
"Okay, let's start now."
Fang Yue said, found a flat stone and sat down, began to adjust his breathing, and prepared to enter the cultivation state.
This martial art is divided into two parts, Spring and Autumn, and two people are required to practice the upper and lower parts respectively.
Zhu Linlang also walked to Fang Yue and sat on another big rock. The two sat opposite each other, ready to start their practice.
“The Spring and Autumn Cicada Skill is indeed wonderful. It requires two practitioners to help each other and make progress together.” Fang Yue sighed.
"Yes, we practice the Spring and Autumn Parts separately, and then merge the two skills together through specific methods. In this way, our martial arts will be improved to a higher level."
Zhu Linlang explained, her eyes shining with expectation and determination.
The two closed their eyes and began to practice according to the Spring and Autumn Cicada Kung Fu.
Fang Yue practices the "Spring Part", which focuses on vitality and recovery; while Zhu Linlang practices the "Autumn Part", which emphasizes harvest and condensation.
Their breathing gradually synchronized, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to converge towards them, and the spiritual energy fluctuations in the valley became more and more intense.
As their practice deepened, the two felt a warm and powerful force flowing in their bodies. This was the unique vitality of Spring and Autumn Cicada Gong. It continuously nourished their meridians and Dantian, allowing their Skill increases at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Time passed day by day, and they were completely immersed in cultivation, forgetting the passage of time.
The spiritual energy in the valley became more and more intense, and even formed a layer of light mist, shrouding the two of them.
A month later, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Fang Yue looked at Zhu Linlang with expectation in his eyes: "Linlang, we have each completed half of the Spring and Autumn Cicada Skill. Now it is time to try to merge our skills."
< br>Zhu Linlang nodded, with a look on his face With a firm expression: "Yes, I believe that we will be able to successfully integrate our skills and exert the maximum power of the Spring and Autumn Cicada Kung Fu."
The two sat opposite each other again, with their palms facing each other, and began to try to combine their respective skills. The power is transferred into the opponent's body.
As their skills continued to merge, a more powerful force began to flow between the two.
This power is warm and surging, like a huge wave in the ocean.
Both Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang felt that the meridians in their bodies were being washed away by this force, and the previously blocked acupuncture points were being opened one by one, making them feel bursts of relief.
With the passage of time, the two people's skills have been completely integrated, forming an unmatched and powerful force.
There was a faint light surrounding their bodies, as if shrouded in a layer of mysterious power.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang opened their eyes at the same time, with shocked expressions on their faces.
He felt as if he had been reborn, his skills had greatly increased, and he even felt like he was in control of everything.
“Is this the power of the Spring and Autumn Cicada Kung Fu?” Fang Yue exclaimed.
Fang Yue took a deep breath and tried to wave his fist gently. There was an explosion in the air. This was the shock brought by their newly acquired power.
He looked at Zhu Linlang and saw the same light shining in her eyes, obviously feeling this new power.
"Linlang, we succeeded!" Fang Yue said excitedly.
"Yes, we succeeded." Zhu Linlang responded, her eyes full of joy and pride.
By practicing this martial art this time, Zhu Linlang's cultivation level has also been promoted from the innate realm to the shape-changing realm.
And Fang Yue gained even greater benefits. He was originally a master of shape-changing, but now with the help of the wonderful power of Spring and Autumn Cicada Technique, he felt as if he had touched a higher realm.
His vitality is more mellow, his meridians are wider, and the true energy in his Dantian is as surging as the ocean.
After their strength greatly increased, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang decided to leave this retreat place and continue their journey towards Yujing City.
They know that although their strength has been significantly improved, the road to martial arts will never end, and they still need to continue to experience and challenge themselves.
Leaving the retreat, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang embarked on the road to Yujing City.
However, along the way, they kept hearing shocking news: the King of Han had joined forces with the barbarians and had quickly occupied the five northern state capitals.
The Wei Dynasty was facing an unprecedented crisis and the situation was precarious.
These news made Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang feel heavy.
Because the greater the momentum of the King of Han, the more dangerous the two of them will be on their way south.
As the daughter of the King of Han, Zhu Linlang has now become someone that the Wei Dynasty must be wary of and guard against.
Her identity has become extremely sensitive and may even lead to death.
Fang Yue knows this very well, so they must move forward more cautiously.
"Linlang, we must try our best to avoid attracting attention and prevent people from recognizing your identity." Fang Yue reminded.
Zhu Linlang nodded with a solemn expression: "I understand. I will be careful."
In order to conceal his identity, Zhu Linlang put on ordinary clothes and removed all the clothes that revealed his identity. accessories, try to make yourself look like an ordinary Jianghu woman.
Fang Yue also deliberately kept a low profile and was no longer as public as before.
The two chose a remote path to travel, trying to avoid contact with people.
They travel during the day and find secluded places to rest at night.
Although traveling in this way is much slower, it is also relatively safer.
However, even though they were so careful, they still encountered some troubles.
On this day, they came to a small town and prepared to replenish some dry food and water. However, as soon as they entered an inn, they felt a strange atmosphere.
Inside the inn, several people from all walks of life were whispering and casting strange glances at them from time to time.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang's hearts tightened. They looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes.
The gazes of these people in the world made them understand that their identities may have been exposed.
They originally planned to keep a low profile, but now they have to respond.
Fang Yue gently held Zhu Linlang's hand and signaled her not to be nervous. At the same time, he was ready to take action at any time.
Sure enough, the few people in the world came towards them not long after.
One of them had a malicious smile on his face and said: "You two, we have been paying attention to you for a long time. This girl looks very familiar. Could she be the daughter of the King of Han?"
< br>Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang sighed secretly, knowing that their identities could no longer be concealed.
They did not expect that someone in this remote town would be able to recognize Zhu Linlang's identity.
Fang Yue stood up, stood in front of Zhu Linlang, and said calmly: "Everyone, we don't mean any harm, we are just passing by. Please do it for your convenience."
"Haha, convenient? You guys are really good at joking."
Another person sneered, "Your Majesty, your identity is so sensitive, how can we let you go so easily? If you are wise, just come with us. Let's go."
"Who are you?" Fang Yue's heart moved slightly. These people don't seem to be from the imperial court.
"Yes, we are from the Blood Dragon Terrace. Fang Yue, we know that you are very powerful in martial arts, but you don't want to drink wine as a penalty. My prince has something to do and invites the princess to Shanyang Mansion. "One of the men in black sneered.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were shocked when they heard the words "Blood Dragon Terrace".
The Blood Dragon Platform is an extremely mysterious and powerful organization in the world. Its main tasks are assassination and intelligence collection. It acts in secrets and is difficult to detect.
But the real master behind it is King Wu Cheng who has occupied the land of three provinces and established himself as king.
To sum up, there has been an irreconcilable conflict between Fang Yue and Xuelongtai for a long time.
After all, the number of Blood Dragon Platform masters who died in Fang Yue’s hands exceeded three figures.
"Sanyang Mansion? Isn't that the sphere of influence of King Wucheng?" Zhu Linlang frowned.
"Exactly, the prince wants to see his niece, is there anything wrong?" The man in black snorted coldly.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes. They all knew that King Wu Cheng's invitation to Zhu Linlang at this time was definitely not a simple meeting to reminisce about old times.
"What if we don't go?" Fang Yue asked.
"If you don't go, it will be up to Your Highness the Princess. But when the time comes, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen to Your Highness the King of Han." said the man in black.
Fang Yue's eyes narrowed. He understood what the man in black meant. He was threatening them. If they do not cooperate, it may be detrimental to the king of Han.
He knew that although the King of Han was not Zhu Linlang's biological father, Zhu Linlang had always regarded the King of Han as a relative and would never let him be harmed in any way.
Zhu Linlang also heard the threat from the man in black. She held Fang Yue's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.
“I’m afraid that King Wucheng’s move is a bit ridiculous. Shanyang Mansion is separated from the north by thousands of mountains and rivers. Besides, His Highness the King of Han is also a master of martial arts.
If King Wucheng really wants to invite , why not send out a formal invitation instead of threatening us in this way?" Fang Yue retorted calmly.
The man in black sneered: "Fang Yue, you don't have to drink wine as a penalty. You'd better accept our prince's invitation. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
"Haha, one of the three dragon heads of your Blood Dragon Platform has been broken off in my hand, and the remaining two dare not come forward. It would be too childish to try to scare us just based on this." Fang Yue disdained He said with a smile, trying to overwhelm the other party with momentum.
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black, but it was quickly covered up by ruthlessness: "Fang Yue, don't think that there is no one in our Blood Dragon Terrace. Don't be blamed if you don't comply with this invitation. We're welcome."
The people at Blood Dragon Terrace were angered by Fang Yue's ridicule, and the leader of the men in black looked at him. A hint of coldness flashed through his heart, he slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Fang Yue, you are too arrogant! Today I will let you see the true strength of the Blood Dragon Platform!"
As he said that, he The figure moved, and rushed towards Fang Yue like a ghost. Unknown to him, there was a pair of sharp daggers in his hands, flashing with cold light.
Fang Yue was prepared earlier. He dodged and easily dodged the attack of the man in black. At the same time, he slapped a palm with his backhand, and the wind of the palm was sharp, hitting the chest of the man in black.
The man in black didn't expect Fang Yue to react so quickly. He hurriedly ducked sideways, but was still swept by the wind of his palm and staggered.
At this time, other Blood Dragon Platform members in the inn also pulled out their weapons and attacked Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang. For a moment, there were flashes of swords and swords in the inn, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Zhu Linlang was not to be outdone. She dodged the attacks with a light body, and at the same time, she swung the long sword in her hand tightly, repelling the enemies who attacked her one by one.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang stood back to back, facing the enemies besieging them. The two cooperated tacitly, and their offense and defense were orderly, and they actually forced the enemy back several steps in a short period of time.
“Hmph, the Blood Dragon Platform is nothing more than that!” Fang Yue sneered.
A trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the leader of the men in black, and he shouted: "Formation!"
Suddenly, other members of the Blood Dragon Platform quickly changed their positions, forming a peculiar formation, bringing Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang gathered in the middle.
This formation seemed to have some mysterious power, which doubled Zhu Linlang's pressure.
"This is the combined attack formation of the Blood Dragon Platform. It's up to you, Zhu Linlang, to try it this time. Be careful with it!" Fang Yue reminded.
Zhu Linlang nodded and looked at the enemies around him solemnly. He knew that the next step would be a tough battle.
Sure enough, following the order from the leader of the men in black, the members of the Blood Dragon Platform began to launch fierce attacks.
Their offensive was as dense and fierce as a violent storm, overwhelming people.
But Zhu Linlang already had rich combat experience, and after his strength improved to a higher level this time, he became even more powerful several times.
Time passed minute by minute, and both sides were consuming their energy in the fierce confrontation.
But Zhu Linlang became more and more courageous as he fought. Their martial arts methods were weird and changeable, making it difficult for the enemy to guard against them.
Finally, at a critical moment, Zhu Linlang caught the enemy's flaw and knocked back the leader of the men in black several steps with one palm.
At the same time, Zhu Linlang also swung his sword and killed another enemy under his sword.
The members of Blood Dragon Terrace were shocked when they saw this. They did not expect that these two young people were so powerful.
For a while, their offensive became a little messy.
Zhu Linlang took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. His offensive was as fierce and rapid as a gust of wind and rain, making it impossible for the enemy to resist.
Soon after, the members of Blood Dragon Platform fell to the ground one after another. (End of this chapter)
