Chapter 179 Protection


Chapter 179 Protection

Seeing the extremely fierce sword wind whistling down, Xie Yuan gritted his teeth, pulled Situ Qin and rushed back as fast as he could.

Yunlongbu was pushed to the extreme by him, and he jumped several feet in almost the blink of an eye.

No wonder the rocks in the cave are extremely hard as they turn upwards, and the corners are even harder than diamond. It turns out that they are all facing such a sword wind!

Xie Yuan looked at the curve ahead. As long as he turned this curve, the sword energy would be absorbed and weakened by the rock wall here, and the rest could be resisted!

But seeing the curve just ahead, he could already feel the sharpness behind him.

The sword energy is like wind and tide, and its speed is beyond human reach.

It seemed like it was too late... Xie Yuan gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowed, and he dragged Situ Qin's hand and waved it violently, preparing to throw her away with all his strength.

Halfway through his wave, his hand suddenly loosened and he lost all strength.

Situ Qin actually let go of his hand at this time.

Xie Yuan was shocked and turned around to look, only to find Situ Qin standing in the middle of the passage, with his arms spread wide and his slender body blocking his front.

“What are you doing!”

Xie Yuan shouted.

However, before he finished speaking, the sword energy was already in front of him, and a huge roar covered his voice.

The fierce sword energy like a dragon's roar poured straight into the ground, like a hurricane, and the aftermath of the sword energy overflowed, got into the passage, and reached the two people.

A jade-colored light suddenly burst out, blocking Situ Qin's path, like a huge shield, completely covering the passage.

The sword energy hit the clear light barrier, like the tide lapping against a heavy embankment. It broke in powerlessly and suddenly rolled back, causing gravel to fall from the top of the cave.

After a while, the sword wind gradually stopped, and the jade-colored barrier flickered a few times, and the light gradually dimmed until it disappeared.

Xie Yuan stared at this scene with wide eyes, and then saw Situ Qin retracting his hand, standing there handsomely, turning his head and smiling:

"Boss Xie, why do you have to pretend to be parting from life or death?" ? Singing? ”

Xie Yuan opened his mouth and said with a slight embarrassment:

"This...this...I didn't know you had such a powerful treasure..."

"How could I go out without bringing anything with me? "

Situ Qin smiled, jumped over and said with a smile: "Are you worried about me being gone?"


Xie Yuan saw Situ Qin staring at him with a smile on his face, looking very amused, and turned his head uncomfortably:

“I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, enough to block the Grandmaster’s blow. "

"What's the big deal?"

Situ Qin glanced at a jade pendant on his waist, which was cracked and ruined.

But she didn’t care, she just stared at Xie Yuan with flickering eyes:

"You haven't said it yet! Are you worried about me? Huh? Hey, it's okay if you don't say it. I know it in my heart." Go forward:
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave first."

The two of them quickly walked back through the passage hand in hand. Situ Qin was behind, looking at Xie Yuan's back and holding her hand. His eyebrows gradually arched.

“By the way, Commander Xie, did you just want to send me away and take the rear?”

Situ Qin asked in a manly voice.

Xie Yuan didn't look back, and said while leading the way:

"I felt it was too late at that time, so I could only use my strength to send one person away."

"Then Why don't you leave by yourself?"

Situ Qin blinked.

"That's impossible."

Xie Yuan replied without thinking.

Situ Qin’s eyebrows were lowered and his voice was soft:

“At such a critical moment, you can still think of me... I am very grateful for your thoughts and I am very, very happy.

“But next time, don’t do this. ”

Xie Yuan heard her words of anger and said noncommittally:

"Let's talk about it next time. Well, it's best not to have a next time."

Situ Qin glared from behind, but Xie Yuan cannot see:

"Ben Come on! Your cultivation level is not higher than mine, and you have fewer means and treasures than me. At this time, it’s my turn to stand in front! This is how we should go on adventures together. Whoever is stronger will bear the responsibility. ”

Her tone was serious and very serious. Although the content was as tactful as possible and the words were flawless, Xie Yuan was still speechless and felt a little frustrated.

He was silent for a moment and said:

"What you said makes sense. When encountering similar dangers, let the capable ones go first.

"But if it's still the same as before, I can't hide behind you. behind. "

Situ Qin nodded slightly after listening to the first half, but when he heard the second part, his brows stood up and he said dissatisfiedly:

"Why are you trying to be strong? What's wrong with hiding behind me? ”

"How can I hide behind a woman's skirt?" br>Situ Qin was angry after hearing his jokes. He laughed again, almost wanting to kick him:

"What's wrong, woman? My cultivation level is higher than yours! And what's wrong with me being smaller... No, I'm not small anymore! My cultivation level is at This can’t stop you, you stupid guy!”

She laughed and scolded for a while, then her expression softened, knowing that Xie Yuan said that he would not abandon her in life or death. But she still shook her head and said firmly:

"We made an agreement today. If, if, we really encounter that situation, you are not allowed to act on your impulse. Cultivation does not distinguish between men and women. Since we are companions, we should cultivate ourselves. High protection and low cultivation. I am by no means inferior to others. People...hey!"

Xie Yuan suddenly stood still. Situ Qin didn't react in time and bumped into his back, and said with an ouch

"Why did you stop so suddenly?"
< br>Xie Yuan turned around and said in a deep voice:

"Then just wait until my cultivation level surpasses yours, and I will protect you from now on."

Situ Qin looked at Xie Yuan's extremely serious expression, was stunned for a moment, and smiled softly:

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Although she didn't believe that Xie Yuan could surpass her, her heart was still slightly touched and her expression was gentle.

Xie Yuan didn't say any more, and pulled Situ Qin out of the sword energy cave and to the edge of the cliff.

The two of them looked back and saw that the cracks on the cliff were inconspicuous. They were everywhere on the cliff. Who would have thought that there was a cave inside?

They were in danger just now and had already gained a lot. They had no intention of exploring further, so they quickly turned back and followed the original road back to the guest house in the middle of the mountain.

After finally sitting back in the room, Xie Yuan and Situ Qin calmed down a little. They took a sip of hot tea, looked at each other, and exhaled at the same time. They were both stunned.

Situ Qin smiled and said:

"Why do you imitate me...Hey, tell me, what on earth is that?"

Xie Yuan was also a little hesitant, that seemed to be the source of Jian Feng's strangeness. But it wasn't the Black Sky Book, and he wasn't sure.

Bagua Lotus is magnificent and fantastic, ever-changing, and contains endless mysteries, but it is not that powerful.

Is the Black Sky Book on the sword's edge so different from the Bagua Lotus? He had no idea what form and power it had.

"Peerless divine sword? Immortal relics?"

Situ Qin did not expect Xie Yuan to answer, so he enthusiastically speculated for a while and said:

"Anyway, that should be the biggest secret of the Yunshan Sword Sect. The source of the sword energy filling the sword edge is in the belly of the mountain. The aftermath alone makes us choke. The power at the core, even I probably can't stop it. ." Xie Yuan nodded silently, his eyes twinkling.

The core cannot be detected without their cultivation, but as long as they do not turn that corner, the traces of the passage in front prove that the overflowing sword energy is stable and within the range that he can bear .

So, even if he can’t go to the back hall of the main peak in the future, won’t he still have a place to gain enlightenment?

Peering into books through rock cracks is also a way!

The two discussed it for a while, and Situ Qin was chattering and excited. This kind of exploration and adventure, where she had to peek into secrets, particularly interested her. Her face turned red and she kept talking.

It was not until it was getting dark that Situ Qin reluctantly said goodbye to Xie Yuan and asked him to come early tomorrow to continue chatting.

After Xie Yuan disappeared further and further down the winding mountain road, a graceful figure suddenly appeared next to Situ Qin and asked softly:

"Miss, your jade pendant Why is it broken?"

Situ Qin looked away, picked up the jade pendant full of cracks, and said casually:

"I encountered a little trouble today..."

Aunt Hong waited for her to finish speaking, and her voice became slightly serious:

"There is such a place? Well... Miss, from now on you I can’t be so playful and adventurous anymore.”

“Aunt Hong, I know it well.”

Situ Qin nodded.

Aunt Hong said helplessly:

"You say this every time. Since the jade pendant is broken, it's time to go back."

"Huh? Just wait for two more... Hey, okay. "

Situ Qin wanted to cheat, but when he saw Aunt Hong's determined look, he knew it was useless and nodded helplessly.

She glanced at the deserted mountain road, pouted, turned and went back to the room.

The next morning, Xie Yuan looked up at Jianfeng from the back hall of the main peak, and his mood was different again.

"There is a big secret here."

He thought to himself, a little distracted.

Feeling the majesty coming towards him, Xie Yuan suddenly felt a little unmotivated. The sword intent contained in it was much worse than that in the cave, which made him not want to come back.

“People like the new and hate the old.”

Xie Yuan muttered.

At noon, he came to the small courtyard again with his food box in hand.

"The day of Zangjian Pavilion's visit is coming soon, and the atmosphere in the sect has become obviously tense recently."

Xie Yuan said casually.

Situ Qin put down his chopsticks gracefully and wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief:

"Yunshan Sword Sect obviously attaches great importance to this competition. If it can surpass Cangjian Pavilion, its reputation will greatly increase and it will become the top sect in the world."

"Will it be able to surpass Cangjian Pavilion in the 'Four Sects'? Where is it? "

Xie Yuan asked.

“That’s impossible.”

Situ Qin shook his head:

"The foundation of the Hidden Sword Pavilion must be deeper after all. Even if it is a small loss this time, if Yunshan Sword Sect wants to shake the Hidden Sword Pavilion's position, I am afraid it will take several consecutive battles to prove itself. Besides, I think this time It’s also difficult for the Yunshan Sword Sect to win.”

“I’d like to hear the details.” Insider information.

“It’s very simple, just look at the rankings on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Flying Dragon Ranking. Except for the leader of the Yunshan Sword Sect, there is only one elder who is on the Flying Dragon Ranking, which is even lower than the Hidden Sword Pavilion, let alone the Hidden Sword Pavilion. On the Hidden Dragon List, although Qin Zhenyang is ranked twenty-sixth, the Hidden Sword The top disciple of the Pavilion, He Jin, is ranked seventh, and the gap is not small.

"As for those below the Qianlong Ranking, who are in the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage, I have not heard of any outstanding disciples of the Yunshan Sword Sect becoming famous in recent years. , there are quite a few in Hidden Sword Pavilion, and they are all rookies who are expected to be on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. The Hidden Sword Pavilion is located in the south of the Yangtze River and has connections with several major aristocratic families. Even if it is not as famous as it is famous, it is much easier to recruit disciples. This is incomparable to the Sword Sect in remote Yunzhou. ”

Xie Yuan nodded slightly and said:

"The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion is ranked fifth on the Flying Dragon Ranking, and is also better than the ninth one, Li Xingtuo, the leader of the Yunshan Sword Sect. It seems that he is at an overall disadvantage?"

Situ Qin tilted his head:

“I think the battle between the sect masters is a group with variables. Although Li Xingtuoshen is in the Yunshan Sword Sect, his cultivation has improved rapidly in recent years. He has surpassed many famous figures from the top sects and ranked in the top ten of the Feilong Ranking. This time he has made another breakthrough. No one knows what his strength is. , it actually attracted the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion to come to challenge, which is really interesting."

Xie Yuan heard what she said and felt that it made sense. He was already looking forward to the battle between these top experts, and now he couldn't wait to watch the excitement.

"Such a grand event will start soon, will you stay until then?"

Xie Yuanxiao asked.

Situ Qin said helplessly:

"I haven't told you yet, I should leave today."

"Huh? So sudden..."
< br>

Xie Yuan subconsciously thought whether it was related to yesterday.

Sure enough, Situ Qin shook the broken jade pendant:

"The protective treasure is broken, I have to go back and replace it."

Xie Yuan was silent for a moment , cupped his hands:

“A rich family.”

Situ Qin chuckled and his expression flashed:

"And yesterday I saw the sword energy rushing towards my face like a tide, so close at hand. I had some vague ideas and had to go back and take a closer look. Thanks to the escort, only See you next time.”

Xie Yuan was surprised when he heard this, but also found it reasonable. He could sense sword energy. With Situ Qin's talent, it was not surprising that he had some understanding after facing the surging sword tide yesterday.

“Okay, I don’t know when we will meet next time.”

Situ Qin smiled and said:

"Already you miss me even before we are separated? It's okay. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely come to watch the Yunshan Sword Fight in one month."

Xie Yuan said with a smile:

"That's good, then I'll see you then. "

"Hmm, I've finished my food anyway...I'll bring something else next time."

The two chatted until after the meal. Situ Qin packed up his things, said goodbye and left.

Xie Yuan saluted Aunt Hong and waved goodbye to Situ Qin. This time, he watched as they walked down the winding mountain road and left here.

"I have gained a lot during this period, so I can summarize it well. After a month of retreat, I should make a breakthrough."

Although Tiantian and Situ Qin travel around, her cultivation lies in her I didn’t miss out on the advice, and I gained a lot. In addition...

He touched his chest, where there was still the last pill of elixir lying in the porcelain bottle.

After taking it, with this help, it should be a new realm!
