The youth and Old Yellow hurriedly retreated to a corner of the pavilion, but Autumn Leaf didn't forget to take the two roast chickens with her.
They were afraid that they would be destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle between the two of them.
Looking at Su Xuan's murderous aura, Nian Yixin could not help but frown.
"Wait a minute," he hurriedly said.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?”
Su Xuan snorted coldly.
"Really."
The Daoist had lived for more than a hundred years, but he was not very thick-skinned. He said rather embarrassedly,"I really don't know swordsmanship."
"You don't know swordsmanship?"
Old Huang and the others looked at each other.
"Then why are you still pretending to carry a long sword on your back?”
The Western Liang Crown Prince sneered.
"This sword was given to me by my master. I've always carried it with me, but I've never unsheathed it.”
Nian Yixin scratched his head.
"Haha!"
The young man laughed while Old Yellow looked thoughtful.
"Didn't you just say that you had a sword fight with the elderly God of Swords?”
Autumn Leaf was puzzled.”
"I entered Qingyang Daoist Palace at the age of five," Nian Yixin said."I've never learned swordsmanship or used a sword.
What I cultivate is a sword intent. In the past, I sat with the old God of Swords and discussed sword intent.”
Only sword intent?
Su Xuan sheathed the Green Bamboo Sword."Since you specialize in sword intent and don't compete with sword techniques, then tell me about a sword battle technique.”
"Please."
Nian Yixin waved his hand and sat down in front of the blank chessboard.""You and I will play chess and fight to the death."
Su Xuan did not know much about chess, but it did not matter. The chessboard was the shape, and the sword intent was the bone. Thus, he sat opposite Nian Yixin.
"Shopkeeper Lyu, please go first."
Nian Yixin said.
Su Xuan placed the black piece on the chessboard without any rules or regulations. In an instant, a terrifying sword intent erupted.
A sharp sword aura appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards Nian Yixin.
The latter held a white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. An illusory sword intent burst forth, and the two sword intents collided.
Lightning appeared in the air.
"Rumble! Rumble!"
"Rumble! Rumble!"
The wind was blowing from the pavilion, and a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the snowstorm, extending into the sky a thousand feet high.
Fortunately, the two of them deliberately controlled their strength, so the pavilion did not collapse. They fought on the chessboard one piece at a time.
With each piece, the sword will would increase a little. The wind howled, the ripples shook, and the vast snow retreated to the two sides of the crack.
"Not good, Shopkeeper Lyu doesn't know how to play chess at all, his moves are messy and messy, and he's already in a disadvantageous position.”
The Western Liang Crown Prince exclaimed.
"Shameless. You clearly know that Brother Lu doesn't know how to play chess, but you still insist on fighting to the death on the chessboard.”
Autumn Leaf cursed.
"Don't worry."
Old Huang spoke at the right time, his eyes fixed on the chessboard."This game of chess is not that simple."
"Boom!"
The black piece in Su Xuan's hand descended, and his sword intent instantly surged several times. It was extremely sharp and it was above his head.
Within a few thousand feet
The snow split in the middle, forming a vacuum.
"The snow has stopped."
The young man was surprised. He walked out of the pavilion and saw that the sky was white. Not a single snowflake had fallen.
"The sword fight has begun."
Old Huang let out a long sigh of relief and suppressed the urge in his heart. As a top-notch swordsman, he had the urge to join the game.
"Kill them."
Su Xuan said as he pressed the chess piece in his hand against a white chess piece on the board. The chess piece that had been set up by Yi Xin shattered.
The black son occupies the white son's position.
"What kind of chess game is this?”
The young man was dumbstruck. This was the first time he had seen such a method of eating.
One-hearted Thought frowned.
He continued to place the white pieces on the empty spots. Every time he placed a white piece, another white piece would be eaten by a black piece.
After 54 moves, Su Xuan's sword intent reached its peak.
It was like a fish swimming in the water, unpredictable and unpredictable, but Su Xuan's sword intent did not pursue it relentlessly.
"Kill!"
As the stone fell, a sharp sword intent gathered in front of him and transformed into an invisible sword.
He slashed at Yi Xin, forcing the latter to use his sword intent to resist.
"Boom!"
The two completely different sword intents fought, and half of the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were instantly destroyed.
"Kill them."
Su Xuan continued to place his stone. His killing intent surged as his sword intent raged. His hair crown shattered and his hair danced wildly.
The blood on his face faded and turned pale. His black hair gradually turned white.
Every time he placed a stone, his hair would grow whiter. After a dozen hands, his white hair was replaced by black hair.
at this time
His face began to age
He was burning his lifespan to increase his sword intent to resist Su Xuan's sword intent.
"Kill them."
With his words, the sword intent continued to rise, as if there was no limit. On the other hand, Nian Yixin's body was trembling.
His eyes were bloodshot, his face was wrinkled, and his blood was burning.
" Beep. Congratulations to the host for choosing a target. Qingyang Daoist Palace has activated Cloud Probing Hand and stolen a scroll of the Heart Sword Technique. 1,500 martial arts points will be deducted.”
" Beep. Congratulations, host. You have chosen a target mission. Qingyang Daoist Palace has activated the Cloud Probing Hand and stolen 30% of your sword will cultivation. 1,500 martial arts points will be deducted.”
"Beep. Congratulations to host for stealing a copy of the six Daoist scriptures.”
"Beep. Congratulations to the host for stealing the first half of the Qingyang Sword Scripture.”
The most precious of them were the Heartsword Technique and the half volume of the Qingyang Sword Manual, both of which were the ultimate techniques of the Qingyang Daoist Palace.
"Boom!"
The sharpness in Su Xuan's eyes intensified as the last black chess piece fell. The entire chessboard, along with all the black and white chess pieces, turned into ashes.
"Boom!"
Thunder on a snowy night
On the other side, Nian Yixin was bleeding from his seven orifices as he struggled to hold on. Their eyes met, and Su Xuan's lips curled up slightly.
next moment
Yi Xin's sea of consciousness shook. A figure wearing a long robe walked out of the endless darkness in his sea of consciousness.
Who else could it be but Su Xuan?
He directly used his sword intent to break through his Heart Sword Art and projected the sword intent into the sea of consciousness of the Will of One Heart.
The Green Bamboo Sword appeared in Su Xuan's hand. It was about 3.3 feet long, and its blade was cold and green.
"Slash!"
He slashed out with his sword. In an instant, a terrifying sword intent and sharpness erupted in the sea of consciousness of the Will.
A storm of sword qi was stirred up, and the heavy darkness was cut open. The sword light rose like a great sun, emitting a scorching light.
After lighting up the entire chaotic sea of consciousness, Su Xuan's figure became increasingly blurry until he completely disappeared.
The sword cuts the flesh, the will cuts the primordial spirit
This sword cut open Nian Yixin's sea of consciousness and destroyed his primordial spirit.
The terrifying sword intent dissipated, and the pavilion returned to its calm state. On the stone bench, Nian Yixin's eyes were empty and lifeless.
"Huff huff"
The snow fell and the cold wind blew in. His body was like a stiff piece of wood. With a thud, he fell to the ground.
"What happened?"
The youth and Autumn Leaf exchanged glances. Their cultivation levels were too low, so they had no idea what had just happened.
"Dead."
Old Yellow let out a long sigh, got up and closed Nian Yixin's eyes, then carried him out of the pavilion into the snow.
"How did he die?"
The Western Liang Crown Prince could not help but ask.
"Having his primordial spirit and truesoul destroyed by me with a single sword strike, he naturally couldn't be more dead.
"Beep. Congratulations to the host for killing a Profound Finger Realm expert. You have received 650,000 martial arts points.”
The Taoist priest entered the finger mystic realm and was best at magic.
The prince was already numb to the fact that three renowned experts had died at Su Xuan's hands.
Since when were Celestial Phenomenon Realm grandmasters and Profound Finger Realm experts so weak?
"Eat something and rest for a while. We'll continue our journey later.”
With that said, Su Xuan sat cross-legged beside the bonfire. He directed his heart to the sky and circulated his True Qi to repair the damage to his mental strength.
"What about him?"
Old Yellow pointed at One-hearted's corpse.
"Leave it here."
The young man was chewing on a chicken drumstick and casually said,"When the Qingyang Daoist Palace comes to collect his body, if no one comes, we'll treat it as a blessing to the wild dogs and beasts around here.”
During the battle at the pavilion, Nian Yixin of the Qingyang Daoist Palace had perished in a sword fight, pushing Su Xuan's reputation to an unprecedented height.
Killing three top martial artists in a row, such a valiant battle record had not appeared for decades.
Unfortunately, the last person to be so valiant was Su Xuan's master, the old man who had been invincible for sixty years.
Nian Yixin's death didn't delay Su Xuan. He only rested for an hour before continuing his journey.
The snow in the north is very heavy
After passing through Qingjiang Prefecture, they entered Guang 'an Prefecture, rested for half a day, and then turned to Anbei Prefecture. As long as they passed through Yanbei Prefecture, they would be considered to have left Guanzhong.
Anbei Prefecture City
Although it was not as prosperous as Guangyang Prefecture and Guang 'an Prefecture, there were still many people and it was quite lively.
The streets were bustling with traffic and people. Su Xuan and the others alighted from their horses and entered the city with their reins.
"How lively."
Autumn Leaf and the Western Liang Crown Prince looked left and right.
Su Xuan wore a bamboo hat that covered most of his face. He carried two swords on his back as he weaved through the crowd.
The peddlers and servants were shouting non-stop. The shops on both sides of the street went in and out, and carriages passed by from time to time.
By the time they reached the inn, Old Yellow, the youth, and Autumn Leaf were all covered in various items.
"You bought so many, can you take them away?”
Su Xuan was speechless.
"Of course I can."
"Once we're out of the pass, I'll ride my horse to Xiliang."”
"You're dreaming too much."
Su Xuan pursed his lips." Don't think that everything will be smooth sailing once you leave the pass. If you have such an attitude, you might not even be able to return to Western Liang alive.”
The young man shivered in fear.
"Let's go. We've been on the road during this period of time. It's time to rest.”
He handed the horse to the servant boy and strode into the inn. There were three floors in total. The first floor was filled with diners and the second floor was a private room.
In the center of the hall, there was a flower platform. On it, there was a woman wearing a thin veil playing the zither and dancing.
Most of them were dispirited, causing the people around them to clap and cheer.
"I like this place."
The young man's eyes lit up.
Autumn Leaf's eyes were filled with disdain.
"Shopkeeper, why don't we change to another inn? This kind of fireworks place is very noisy.”
she suggested.
"No need."
Su Xuan smiled." I've asked around. Pure Moon Brothel is the best inn and tavern in the city.”
He picked a table in the corner and sat down. At this moment, a maid walked over leisurely. She held her waist with a willow, looking a little flirtatious.
Her voice was like a yellow oriole, crisp and pleasant to the ear.
"Excuse me, are you Lu Qinghou, Young Master Lu, and the others?”
The maid's red lips opened slightly.
"It's me."
Su Xuan said calmly.
The maid's eyes lit up as she bowed and said,"There's an esteemed guest upstairs who opened a private room and wants to invite Young Master Lu for a chat.”
"I'm not free."
"I'll take the best wine and dishes in your shop."”
"Alright."
The woman went to the third floor and stopped in front of a quiet private room. There were two burly men guarding the door.
The maid pushed the door open and knelt on the ground. In the gauze tent, there was a graceful figure drinking by herself.
"Young Lady, Young Master Lu is unwilling to come up.”
the maid replied.
"Got it. You may leave."
The servant girl stood up and closed the door when she left.
"Miss, this kid is so disrespectful. Should I ask Ah Da and Ah Er to invite him up?”
A hoarse voice sounded.
"There's no need to trouble granny."
In the gauze tent, the graceful figure was playing with the white jade nine dragon cup in her hand. The gauze covered her calves. That face was enough to make all the men in the world go crazy.
"Hehe."
Laughter echoed.
"Since ancient times, heroes have always been proud. This Young Master Lu dared to send the Prince of Western Liang out of the pass alone and kill three masters in a row. If he didn't have some pride, he wouldn't have the courage.
Today was not fated, but there would be opportunities in the future.”
"Go back. Recently, Imperial Father has been ill, and many people are restless.”
。。。。
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Autumn Leaf went upstairs to rest. As for Su Xuan, Old Huang, and the Western Liang Crown Prince, they stayed in the main hall, drinking wine, eating melon seeds, and admiring the women dancing on the flower terrace.
"Tsk tsk, Shopkeeper Lyu, look at that.”
"The one in the white dress looks the best."”
"No taste. I think the one on the far left looks good.”
Su Xuan replied casually.
"Old Huang, which one do you like?"
He teased.
"That."
Old Yellow pointed at the inn's owner, Nian. Su Xuan and the youth looked over.
He was about 30 to 40 years old, but his appearance was still the same. His every move was flirtatious.
"Old Yellow, I didn't expect you to be so delicious.”
The teenager teased.
"Guests, if you like anyone, just say the word and I will send them to their rooms tonight.”
The manager of the restaurant, the middle-aged beauty that Old Huang had mentioned, walked over with a smile on her face.
However, her gaze lingered on Su Xuan.
"Lady Boss, my friend has taken a fancy to you.”
Su Xuan smiled.
"Shopkeeper Lyu, don't talk nonsense."
Old Huang was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. He suddenly jumped up from his chair and hurriedly explained.
"Hehe, Young Master Lu sure knows how to joke.”
She pursed her lips and smiled. Her eyes were full of charm, but she was not angry."If it's Young Master Lu, I'm very willing.”
At this moment, a woman wearing a thin veil came downstairs with two guards. She glared at the owner of the tavern.
The latter's face instantly turned pale and he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Shopkeeper Lyu, we are not fated to meet today, but we will definitely meet again in the future.”
The woman said softly beside him. Then, without looking back, she led the two guards out of the wine shop.
Only after the woman's figure disappeared did the middle-aged woman heave a sigh of relief. She didn't dare to speak to Su Xuan anymore and walked away.
He seemed to be extremely afraid of this veiled young woman.
Su Xuan didn't probe further. After sitting in the hall for an hour, he felt bored and was led to a guest room on the third floor by a maid.
As for Old Huang's Western Liang prince, he was watching with great interest.
After taking a comfortable hot bath, he changed into a long robe and sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.
He sank his mind into the space of his sea of consciousness and flipped through the two secret manuals he had obtained from Yi Xin.
heartsword
Qingyang Sword Manual
They were all rare martial arts manuals. He had been busy traveling a few days ago and had no time to be distracted. Tonight, he could take a closer look.
After fusing with the card, the two martial arts manuals were engraved in his sea of consciousness.
heartsword
as the name
However, this secret technique was very different from the ordinary sword techniques of the pugilistic world.
This was because the realms were reversed. First, he cultivated Sword Heart, then Sword Intent, and finally Sword Principle.
The swordsmanship cultivation in the pugilistic world was to first cultivate swordsmanship, then cultivate sword intent, and finally cultivate sword heart.
This was the strangeness of the [Heartsword] art. It was completely opposite.
