Chapter 40: The Dagger

Smoky River Town.

Chu Eyang and Qu Heping were playing chess pieces in a secluded place, and a boy was standing next to the period, pouring tea for them.

Qu Heping smiled and said, "Brother Chu, why are you a little absent-minded?"

"Yes, it's just that my chess skills have been a little worse lately. ”

Qu Heping shook his head and smiled, no longer speaking.

At this time, Guo Ziliu and Hu Zhe flew over. Shouting from afar, "Master, master!"

When Chu Eyang heard the shout, a chess piece in his hand immediately fell to the ground, and when the two apprentices rushed over, he couldn't wait to step forward and ask, "What's the result?"

Guo Ziliu smiled and said, "Win!"

"What!" At this time, not only Chu Eyang was surprised, but even Qu Heping stood up. "Who do you say won?"

"Can I still say that others win?" said Hochul, a little mischievously.

When Chu Eyang heard this, he almost hugged Hu Zhe excitedly: "Tell the master quickly, how did you win?"

So the two of them talked endlessly about the whole process to the two observers, and the more Chu Eyang and Qu Heping listened, the more shocked they became.

Qu Heping said to Chu Eyang: "Brother Chu, I didn't expect that you Zixiao Mountain still has a killer weapon hidden! ”

Chu Eyang laughed heartily: "Brother Qu, in Yanhe Town in the future, as long as you touch me, I will have all the tea!"

At this time, Chu Eyang was not only happy, Yan Han's battle gave Zixiao Mountain the opportunity to practice the three major mental methods for hundreds of years, and Yan Han also helped Bai Suitai to breathe a sigh of resentment.

"It seems that I am also going to enjoy the stunts of the Lingtu in the past two days, which is really incredible. ”

"Okay, let's go watch the next game. ”

Chu Eyang said goodbye to Qu Heping and hurried back to Baiyun City, as soon as he arrived at the inn, he strode first to Yan Han's bedroom.

At this time, Yan Han's bedroom was already crowded with a bunch of people, and Yan Han also became active, and began to talk about his experience in practicing the mental method, and boasted that his inner dan was extraordinary, it was a hidden inner dan, and there was not one in a thousand years, of course, he also said something real, that is, to tell everyone the concept of overlapping mental methods, and everyone who listened to it was mysterious.

When everyone saw the Guan Master walking in, they all stood up immediately, Chu Eyang was the first to clasp Yan Han's hand without saying a word, and said with some embarrassment: "Good job! Today you did a glorious thing for Zixiao, you don't blame me for my reproach to you two days ago, do you?"

"No... No, the blame is right. Yan Han said to Chu Eyang half-jokingly, which made the whole atmosphere relax a lot.

Chu Eyang gently slapped the back of Yan Han's head, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, it's not impossible to be lustful, but Bixiao's girls can't touch it, and besides, they are not women!"

Zhang Ting'er slapped Chu Eyang fiercely, and said angrily: "Why aren't people women anymore? As the master of the view, why did you start talking inappropriately, don't instigate some bad things to the disciples!"

When everyone listened, they were all happy, and the room was full of cheerful voices.

That night, Guo Ziliu, Bai Suitai and Tan Ya were still chatting in Yan Han's house, and in the past half a day, they have become more and more familiar with each other.

Guo Ziliu was particularly fascinated by the overlapping way of Yan Han's mental methods, so he asked about this more than once: "Little brother Yan Han, do you mean that practicing mental methods in our Rongcheng Hall is not as fast as practicing in the deep mountains and forests?"

"Of course!" Yan Han said confidently, "After all, Rong Chengdian has a history of hundreds of years, so the concentration of aura is no longer as good as it was back then, and in the deep mountains and forests, there are few people, and I can even feel that all the plants and trees are releasing aura, and it is very thick." ”

Guo Ziliu nodded suspiciously.

At this time, Qianmu came from outside the door and said coldly to the people in the house, "Come out!"

Everyone's loose energy disappeared immediately, and Yan Han immediately sat up and looked at Qianmu.

Qianmu said again: "You come out!"

Yan Han looked back at the other three and saw that they were indifferent, so he pointed to his nose and said, "This time, you still came to me?"

"Nonsense, who are you looking for if you don't come to your house?" said Qianmu, a little impatiently.

Yan Han had no choice but to follow Qianmu out. Qianmu didn't say a word as every time, and walked out with Yan Han, but stopped at that position that day.

At this time, Qianmu suddenly turned around, showed a smile that could melt the ice and snow, and said, "You have been doing awesome in the past two days!"

"This is what I should do, stick a knife in the ribs of Zixiao Mountain, and I will not hesitate to die in life. ”

Seeing that Yan Han didn't look serious, Qianmu Waner smiled. "Then you'll stay in Zixiao Mountain forever, right?"

Yan Han looked at Qianmu, and suddenly became silent, he didn't know how to answer, if there was no thing that happened in the past two days, Yan Han would have answered without hesitation, and he would not stay, but now that he suddenly had achievements, he began to have extravagant hopes for his future cultivation, however, his heart still yearned for life in the human world.

Yan Han scratched the back of his head and giggled: "This, I haven't decided yet." “

Qianmu suddenly said to Yan Han faintly: "Just stay for me, can't you decide?" ”

After Qianmu said this, suddenly the surroundings were quiet, and they could hear each other's breathing, and the two of them stared at each other, as if waiting for a promise from each other.

"Cough, cough", Yan Han coughed dryly, interrupting each other's silence.

"I said... Masters... I don't think we're going to get anything out of it. ”

Qianmu didn't answer, as if waiting for his reply, so they fell into an awkward silence again.

Yan Han had no choice but to continue to explain: "We are different, we will never be able to go together, you are a Dongtian boy, you want to live a cultivation life, and you have an unparalleled mission on your shoulders, and I am just an ordinary person, I just want to live an ordinary life, maybe I still have to return to the human world." ”

Qianmu squatted down and held his chin with both hands, and said faintly: "Then I'll go with you." ”

"That's not possible, you will carry the hope of revitalizing Zixiao in the future!"

Qianmu buried his little head in his elbow and snorted and said, "I don't want to pay attention to you anymore!"

Yan Han didn't know how to coax him, so Yan Han smiled and said, "Why are you so like a child?"

Qianmu snorted and said, "I was originally a child. Qianmu has never felt maternal love and father's love, but I don't know why, she can always relax her coquettish personality in front of Yan Han.

Yan Han gently tugged her little nose and said, "You, will you never grow up?"

The wind is kind, the night is quiet, and the stars are twinkling.

Qianmu didn't know when to bury his head in Yan Han's arms, "I want to be with you regardless of everything, but my parents' revenge has not been avenged, can you wait for me for ten years?"

Yan Han looked at her in astonishment.

"When I repay my parents' revenge and Zixiao's nurturing grace, I will look for you when the time comes, and I want to go back to the human world with you. ”

Listening to Qianmu's words, Yan Han was extremely moved, he never thought that Qianmu had such courage and determination, as a man, how could he let a woman be wronged, how could he shrink and continue to coax?

So Yan Han gently wiped Qianmu's tearful eyes. "I'll wait for you! We agreed that in ten years, you and I will walk hand in hand. “

Qianmu nodded slightly. "Then I ask you to stay in Zixiao to accompany me within ten years, if you want to return to the human realm during this time, I will accompany you to have a look, in short, you will never leave me. ”

Yan Han shouted happily as if he had picked up a living treasure. "It's a deal!"

Such a beautiful promise, anyone will be happy. After the events of the past few days, Yan Han has also become ambitious in cultivation, and staying to accompany Qianmu to cultivate for ten years is no problem at all, and under his careful care, he is confident that Qianmu will definitely become a master of the world, and then the great revenge will be avenged and his wish will be fulfilled.

The more Yan Han thought about it, the more excited he became, and he began to wander around Qianmu.

"Don't be crazy, sit down and keep telling me stories!" Qianmu ordered.

"Yes, Senior Sister. ”

Yan Han already knew who his opponent was the next day, he was You Yi. You Yi is a disciple of Shenxiao Palace, and he is not an outstanding figure in Shenxiao Palace, but he is relatively lucky, he has not encountered very tough opponents in several matches, and it is not easy to advance to the top four.

In the Yanghe Palace, in the dimly lit living room, standing were Yu Guangdao and Langxiong.

"Yan Han controlled Hu Tian's acupuncture points?" asked Yu Guangdao in surprise.

Langxiong's explanation of the last game, Yu Guangdao also couldn't believe it.

"That's right. Lang Xiong replied.

"Senior brother, do you know that to control the acupuncture points, you must pierce Hu Tian's Vajra Technique, and physical attacks are ineffective against Hu Tian's Vajra Jue. ”

But Hu Tian was not physically attacked, according to Hu Tian, a trace of spiritual power was infiltrated into his body, blocking the acupuncture points. ”

Yu Guangdao was a little puzzled: "I have indeed heard of the spiritual power flow blocking the acupoints, but using this method to control the acupuncture points is very complicated, it is originally a method to heal the vitality of the human body, if Hu Tian is paralyzed immediately, he must make more than dozens of movements." ”

"He did it!" Lang Xiong did not hesitate, his eyes were unwillingly ruthless.

Hearing this, Yu Guangdao looked at Langxiong's serious attitude with surprised eyes, and didn't say a word for a long time.

After this secret conversation, Yu Guangdao returned to the inner hall of the Ning Feng Palace, called his disciple You Yi over, and instructed: "Don't think that your opponent is a small character in your game tomorrow, remember to take your evil light to guard." ”

"Disciple obeys!" You Yi finished speaking and went down.

Yan Han was in a ring this time, and after reaching the quarterfinals, there was only one ring left in the entire Jiuyun venue. It takes a day to get eight into four, and Yan Han is still in the morning game. Originally, this game was refereed by Bei Yin Qiulong, the number one master of Shenxiao, and made a appearance in Baiyun City to meet those expatriates and warlocks who came all the way to worship Bei Yin Qiulong's honorable appearance, but Bei Yin Qiulong had something to do temporarily, so he canceled the task arrangement, so the referee was still changed to Lian Jue.

There were a lot of spectators gathered under the ring, and at this time, Yan Han had become famous, even overshadowing You Yi, who was on the same stage as him. Dark Horse's fame is short-lived, but in this short period of time, it can cause a big enough sensation.

At this time, all the palace watchers in the audience had arrived, and to everyone's surprise, Yu Guangdao, the head of the Shenxiao faction, actually came to the arena to watch the game in person.

You Yi is not Yu Guangdao's personal disciple, but those who know Shenxiao Palace know that Yu Guangdao has given You Yi a lot of guidance over the years.

Yu Guangdao was very low-key, he just found a random position to stand there, and there was no entourage in front of him. In contrast, Langxiong, the lord of Qingxiao Palace, has a specific VIP seat for him every time he watches a game, and there are special attendants who serve him tea and pour water.

However, this time, even the head Yu Guangdao was standing, and Qingxiao Palace did not dare to be high-profile, so Langxiong also walked up to Yu Guangdao and stood with him to watch the game.

All the personnel of Zixiao Mountain have arrived, including Chu Eyang, because they did not buy tickets in advance, the people of Zixiao Mountain can only gather in the outer circle to watch the game from afar.

You Yi walked to the stage, hugged his fists and said: "Shenxiao Palace, Taiyi Palace, You Yi, Heavenly Realm, concede!"

"Zixiao Guan, Red Emperor Garden, Yan Han, concede!" This time, Yan Han simply did not report his cultivation level.

With Lian Jue's order, the game began.

Yan Han still moved first, he came to You Yi's side as fast as he could, and tentatively clicked on You Yi's acupuncture points a few times, and You Yi had obviously used the Vajra Technique to protect his body true qi.

Chu Eyang, Yu Guangdao and others, who saw Yan Han's movements for the first time, also had the expression of Langxiong yesterday.

They don't know the mysteries of a thousand gods. People who had worked hard to practice the Nine Heavens Realm Primary Mind Method were considered fools, and Yan Han overturned everyone's views at this time.

You Yi's expression was very calm, without any arrogance or irritability, he pulled out his sword, and a sharp sword control technique came out.

Yan Han dodged a blow, but You Yi's sword control was still staring at him, and he hit again after missing the blow. Yan Han, who can even dodge the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, is obviously not a problem for the sword control technique that only has a single flying sword.

Yan Han made a ninety-degree turn and directly threw the sword control a few feet away, and at this time he had already escaped the attack range of the sword control. At such a speed, there can be a ninety-degree sharp turn, which almost makes everyone present dumbfounded. In the face of the sword control technique with the guidance function, there may be only this way to get rid of it.

You Yi activated the sword control technique again, but left a vacancy for Yan Han. Yan Han didn't think much about it, he immediately came to You Yi, he slid his fingertips slightly around You Yu, just like the way he defeated Hu Tian last time, he thought that the moment You Yi hit the heart method, his cicada wing finger would definitely be able to penetrate You Yi's body.

However, to Yan Han's surprise, in addition to the Vajra Jue, You Yi seemed to have another layer of true qi blocking Yan Han's cicada wing fingers. When Yan Han was confused, in an instant, a bright dagger pierced out of the air, thanks to Yan Han's quick dodge, otherwise he would definitely be defeated.

Yan Han looked at You Yi, but You Yi always had a faint expression, without any smugness or anxiety, as if he was very patient. At this time, You Yi once again exhaled the sword control.

Yan Han didn't move, seeing that the sword control was about to attack, his body met it. The sword qi swept through, and the Xuanjia technique broke in response. Yan Han's pupils were contracting, and he saw the dagger again, and at the same time, the green dagger also flew over with the sword.

The difference between You Yi's sword control and the dagger is less than half a breath, and the dagger is extremely hidden, which will deal a fatal blow to Yan Han!

Yan Han's thousands of divine appearances slowed down the speed of the dagger to the limit, and he was able to dodge it. You Yi's dagger cut through his clothes and rubbed along his belly, it was really hanging!

After that, Yan Han would never dare to be careless again, he lifted his super Xuanjia shield and looked at You Yi in confusion, he really didn't understand where the second layer of True Qi barrier hidden in You Yi's body came from?

Yan Han still needs to try, he wants to test what the aura of this barrier is related to, so that he can find the source. Yan Han began to suspect that You Yi should have a treasure on him.

Mana barrier, this method is really good!"

Yu Guangdao said lightly: "I already had a general understanding of Yan Han's methods yesterday, but I was still surprised when I saw it today, I have the same opinion as you, I guess that Yan Han does not have a strong attack power at all, so the evil light dagger will be his nemesis." ”

While Chu Eyang on the other side was amazed at Yan Han's speed, he found that Yan Han tried to attack the other party at a very dangerous moment, and he only used two fingers. Chu Eyang was puzzled, and he also saw that You Yi was equipped with a magic weapon that was at least above the real weapon level. Chu Eyang sighed to Zhang Ting'er: "Qingxiao, Shenxiao's magic weapon is really rich. ”

Just when Yan Han was thinking about how to test You Yi's details again, You Yi would not easily give Yan Han another chance, he actually used a strange trick, a sword control technique on the main sword, a jade sword technique on the dagger, and a purple thunder hand on the left hand, and the three tricks attacked Yan Han in order.

You Yi was able to mix to the top eight, he definitely had his strength, the evil light dagger had skyrocketed by more than five feet, almost reaching the same length as the main sword, and the electric light in the purple thunder hand made Yan Han unable to figure out the strength of its attack power.

Yan Han understood at this time that the opponent in front of him must not be underestimated, You Yi's sword control technique and purple thunder hand were killing moves, and the jade sword technique was to block Yan Han's cicada wing finger at the end of the attack of the purple thunder hand and sword control technique. The flexibility of the Jade Sword Technique made it almost impossible for Yan Han to get close to You Yi, and what made Yan Han jealous the most was that You Yi still had an inscrutable layer of True Qi protection, even if Yan Han occasionally succeeded, that layer of protection would make him work in vain.

The whole situation seems to have pronounced that Yan Han's defeat is a foregone conclusion.

Yan Han's brilliant body technique once again attracted bursts of applause from the outside of the court, and he not only avoided the sword control technique and jade sword technique, but also avoided You Yi's purple thunder hand.

Soon half a pillar of incense passed, You Yi was never able to kill with one blow, and Yan Han did not find a breakthrough, but on several occasions he was almost hit by You Yi's sword control technique and purple thunder hand.

Sword Control Technique and Purple Thunder Hand are both single attacks, and the attack power is even greater than that of the sub-sword of Ten Thousand Sword Technique, it is very easy to shatter Yan Han's Xuanjia and cause trauma, after the Xuanjia is shattered, You Yi will definitely use that Qingliang dagger to give a fatal blow!

Yan Han knows that the longer the game drags on, the more dangerous it becomes, and You Yi will have a time to succeed sooner or later, but he can't find You Yi's flaws. Just when Yan Han was scorching, his arm was accidentally scratched by You Yi's right hand jade sword technique, and Yan Han woke up in shock. Yan Han found that his Xuanjia had passed the time for some time, and this negligence had saved his life, so he immediately made up for a Xuanjia shield.

Yan Han endured the sharp pain of the wound, thinking that the jade sword technique that You Yi used with that dagger just now seemed to have a familiar aura.

"That's the same breath as You Yi's layer of protection!" Yan Han shouted in his heart, as if he suddenly broke free from the fog and suddenly became enlightened. You Yi's protection is the dagger in his hand!

If you want to defeat You Yi, you must first break You Yi's magic weapon. Yan Han stared at the dagger in You Yi's hand from time to time, and the dagger glowed with blue light all over his body. While Yan Han was dodging You Yi, he secretly knocked on his spiritual power to probe the grade of You Yi's dagger, but after getting the results of the investigation, Yan Han's heart was half cold, this dagger turned out to be a holy weapon level!

In normal times, Yan Han has only one way to crack the magic weapon, and that is to use a talisman, but the talisman cannot be brought to the competition ring, which has strict regulations. Moreover, Yan Han himself knew that he had never had experience in cracking a holy weapon-level magic weapon, and before this, he had not even seen what a real weapon looked like.

Yan Han was in the ring, trying his best to dodge, almost constantly playing circles around You Yi. You Yi himself is a patient person, he knows that he will not be able to subdue Yan Han in the short term, but the victory is already in hand, as long as Yan Han has one negligence, Yan Han will definitely lose.

At this moment, Yan Han suddenly came to You Yi's side with a thunderous momentum, and quickly slid on You Yi's dagger. This action puzzled You Yi and puzzled everyone in the audience.
