When Li Que heard the words "Xiyue Sword", he couldn't help but be nervous. Zhong Liyan took the opportunity to slash again. Li Que hurriedly flipped back. The sword slashed to the ground, and there was another sword mark, a foot deep.

Zhong Liyan said to Ye Feng, "You should be familiar with this sword!" Today, I will use this sword to send you all to the western heavens! ”

Zhong Liyan, who picked up the Xiyue Sword, was really like a different person. Although there were many Heavenly Maiden flowers before, they could still be blocked by the Maitreya knife; Although there is only one Xiyue Sword now, it makes the Maitreya Sword have no chance to attack. Li Que could only dodge tiredly. At this moment, the snow stopped.

Zhong Liyan shouted: "Now, when the bright moon is in the sky, the true qi of the Xiyue Sword is endless. I'll see how long you can hide! ”

Indeed, the sword in Zhong Liyan's hand swung faster and harder. The sword curls with snowflakes and is wrapped in frost dew, turning moonlight into arrows and cold wind into blades. After a while, the rocks on the top of Mount Tai all had sword marks, and the trees were all broken.

In order to protect Ye Feng, Lu Xiaozhuo pounced on Ye Feng, but his back was injured by the sword qi.

After Li Que dodged five swords in a row, he was already out of breath, he had never been beaten so embarrassed since he set foot in the rivers and lakes, but he still tried to find a gap between Zhong Liyan's repeated swings of the sword. Dodging the five swords again, Li Que jumped three steps away from Zhong Liyan, suddenly tiptoed, raised his right hand, and the Maitreya knife slashed straight at Zhong Liyan's armpit.

The Maitreya sword is fast, and the Xiyue sword is even faster. Only a piercing loud bang was heard, and the sword collided with the sword. Zhong Liyan's wrist was shaken, but the Xiyue Sword was still intact; The Maitreya knife hurt the back of the knife from the blade all the way to the back. The front half of the knife flew straight out, slashing through Zhong Liyan's left side of his face and hitting the broken tree behind him. Zhong Liyan kicked Li Que in the abdomen with a strong kick. Li Que flew out three zhang away, and when he raised his hand, he saw that there was only a broken knife left in his hand. Zhong Liyan's left side of her face also felt hot, and then it hurt.

Zhong Liyan wiped the blood on his face fiercely and said, "Hmph! You don't even have a knife now, so die! ”

Ye Feng hurriedly took off the steel knife on Lu Xiaozhuo's back, threw it to Li Que, and shouted, "Brother Li, take the knife!" ”

Li Que took the steel knife and looked at it, this knife has no sheath, although it is in the dark night, but a round of red sun on the knife is still clearly visible, indicating that this is the Dongri knife.

When Ye Feng was recuperating from his injuries in the Mountain Temple, he had expected that Zhong Liyan would come sooner or later. Even if Li Que could arrive in time, I am afraid it would be difficult to resist the Xiyue Sword in Zhong Liyan's hand. And Ye Feng thought about it, the only one who could resist the Xiyue Sword in the whole world was the Dongri Sword. Therefore, he asked Lu Xiaozhuo to rush back to Penglai Immortal Island in the starry night and retrieved the Dongri knife inserted in the divine stone of the word "knife".

Before Li Que could hold the knife steady, he saw that Zhong Liyan's sword had already stabbed him, and then he blocked it horizontally. As a result, the East Day Sword and the West Moon Sword collided together again after a lapse of more than 20 years. At this moment, not only sparks, nor just sounds, even the earth seemed to shake. The snowflakes on the ground swirled up like a silver dragon in the moonlight, leaping into the sky from the top of Mount Tai.

Although Li Que's hand was holding the Dongri knife for the first time, he did not feel unfamiliar, but every pick and cut was just right, just like the knife had an aura and could read Li Que's mind. With this knife, Li Que no longer has to be as passive as before. Therefore, the sword does not leave the sword, the sword does not leave the sword, the sword cuts the sword, and the sword pierces the sword. The sword light flickered, the sword shadow flew, and the sword light and the sword shadow were entangled in one place. From the sky to the earth, from the clouds to the rocks, from the mountains to the forests, and finally back to the top of Mount Tai.

Li Que and Zhong Liyan both stopped at a distance of three zhang from each other, one holding a knife and the other holding a sword, standing in the cold wind, neither of them wanted to strike first. The atmosphere on the top of the mountain suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of "whirring" wind, "whirring" wheezing, and "pounding" heartbeat could be heard.

Lu Xiaozhuo held his breath, clenched his fists, and asked softly, "Uncle Shi, you say, who will win in the end?" ”

In fact, the worry in Ye Feng's heart never stopped, because he knew that after a night of fierce fighting, the Xiyue Sword under the reflection of the bright moon could become more and more courageous, while the Dongri Sword that could not see the sun would only gradually decline. Dongri knife needs sunlight, but can Li Que hold on until the moment when the sun rises? In response to Lu Xiaozhuo's question, Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Now, although the two are on equal footing, the situation will change soon. If Li Que wants to defeat Zhong Liyan, he will not have to come out with another sword to help him. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo asked, "Now, where is there another sword?" ”

Ye Feng turned his head to look at Lu Xiaozhuo and said, "It's you!" ”

"Me?" Lu Xiaozhuo was shocked, "But I ......"

Ye Feng said, "Just use the trick I just taught you not long ago." ”

Lu Xiaozhuo asked again: "However, that move must be used with the Xiyue Sword to make it!" ”

Ye Feng stared at the Xiyue Sword in Zhong Liyan's hand and said, "You will have a chance to get the Xiyue Sword." ”

Lu Xiaozhuo also turned his head to look at Xiyue Sword, and his heart became even more nervous. Not only nervous, but also nervous.

I don't know how long it took, Li Que's feet were buried in the snow, he was unconscious, and the dew on the tip of the knife had condensed into ice crystals. Finally, the darkest hour on the top of Mount Tai passed, and the eastern horizon was white, and a new day began, but there was still at least half an hour before the bright sunshine.

Suddenly, Zhong Liyan made a move. He wielded his sword, like an arrow off the string, a horse that had escaped the reins, and rushed towards Li Que. Li Que didn't have time to move his legs, but he was still able to resist with the Dongri knife. The two sharp weapons collided again, but this time the sound was no longer crisp. Li Que clearly felt that the strength of the Xiyue Sword had increased, so much so that he had to take several steps back. The ice crystals on the Tohinichi knife were shaken away.

This was Zhong Liyan's most optimistic moment in the whole night. The original true qi of the Dongri Sword has been almost consumed by this dark night, and the new sunlight has not yet had time to shine. So, now is the weakest moment for Tohnichi Knife. In turn, the Xiyue Sword, which had already enjoyed a night of moonlight, was now at its peak.

Zhong Liyan sneered and said, "Ye Feng, I know, you hate me for using the Ji to help the Dongri Sword win the Xiyue Sword. Well, today, I'll use the Xiyue Sword to win the Dongri Sword again! ”

Zhong Liyan saw that the rising sun in the east had already shown its clues, but he believed that Li Que could no longer catch up with the newly rising sun. With the current state of the Dongri Sword and the Xiyue Sword, half an hour was enough for Zhong Liyan to kill Li Que. As for Ye Feng and Lu Xiaozhuo, it is even more of a problem. From then on, no one in the world dared to be an enemy of Zhong Liyan, and he could sit back and relax to complete the tasks assigned to him by his nation. Thinking of this, Zhong Liyan couldn't help but cover her mouth, facing the cold wind, and laughed, the laughter resounded through the valley, as if it was about to melt the ice and snow, crossed the East China Sea, and floated all the way to Dongying.

After this burst of laughter, Zhong Liyan picked up his sword again, aimed at Li Que under the rising sun, and shouted: "God can't save you!" ”

The sword stabbed straight towards Li Que, as powerful as a fierce tiger, as fast as lightning. Li Que didn't have time to think about it, so he could only hold the Dongri sword with both hands and block it with all his might.

At this moment, Ye Feng took out the iron sword in his sleeve, and shouted with the rising sun: "Zhong Liyan, look at the move!" ”

A ray of sunlight pierced Zhong Liyan's eyes through the iron sword. Although the morning sun was not bright, it was enough to distract Zhong Liyan's vision. Zhong Liyan was defenseless, subconsciously blocked his left hand in front of him, and turned his head to the side of the backlight. Li Que seized this opportunity and swung the Dongri sword. By the time Zhong Liyan's gaze returned, the blade was already in front of him. Zhong Liyan hurriedly returned his sword to block it. The knife was striking on the hilt. Zhong Liyan didn't have time to exert his strength, but Li Que used all his strength. Zhong Liyan's wrist was numb, and the Xiyue Sword slipped out of his hand and was picked into the air.

Zhong Liyan's left hand immediately threw out the Heavenly Maiden Flower, which was only one step away from Li Que, but they were all blocked by the Dongri Knife. Zhong Liyan took the opportunity to jump up and stretched out his right hand, wanting to take back the Xiyue Sword. But who knows, another hand suddenly appeared in mid-air, and he got the Xiyue Sword one step ahead of Zhong Liyan. Zhong Liyan fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lu Xiaozhuo who came to grab the sword. Zhong Liyan was furious, and without waiting for the landing, he wanted to make the Heavenly Maiden flower again, but he saw Lu Xiaozhuo return a sword.

This sword, no move, no shadow, no sound, no breath, like a rainbow across the sky, like a meteor breaking the sky, like the autumn wind blowing yellow green leaves, like falling leaves sweeping the winter snow. Zhong Liyan had never seen such a fast, so light, and so sudden sword. Lu Xiaozhuo didn't believe that he could use such a sword. Only Ye Feng nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his face. This trick is called snow scratching without a trace, and it was taught to Lu Xiaozhuo by Ye Feng in the mountain temple.

After Zhong Liyan landed, he didn't know where Lu Xiaozhuo's sword had stabbed, and he felt as if he was not injured, but as if he had pain all over his body. In a few moments, a three-inch-long bloody gash erupted from his throat, and soon blood began to grow, staining the snow on the ground red. He hurriedly plugged the wound with his hand.

Ye Feng shook his head again and said, "Alas! The strength is still not mastered. ”

Li Que shouted: "Zhong Liyan, your life is on hold!" Swinging the Dongri knife, he slashed at Zhong Liyan.

Zhong Liyan saw that he had lost the Xiyue Sword and was injured again, it could be said that the general trend had gone, although he was unwilling, he was helpless. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's up to you, don't want to kill me!" He pulled out a projectile from his bosom and threw it to the ground, disappearing into a puff of smoke like the Toei ninja.

Lu Xiaozhuo was so angry that his teeth itched, and said, "Damn! Let him run away! ”

Ye Feng said: "Forget it, anyway, he no longer has the Xiyue Sword, so he is no longer a threat." Moreover, Qin Yi already knew his true face, so naturally he would not be allowed to continue to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. ”

Li Que approached Ye Feng, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Unexpectedly, we will meet again in such a situation. ”

Ye Feng said: "The last time we met was in Xiyue Huashan, and this time we were in Dongyue Taishan, isn't it very good?" ”

When Li Que heard this, he smiled. Ye Feng also laughed. The laughter of the two echoed at the top of Mount Tai.

The sun has completely exposed the clouds, and the sun is shining all over the earth. It's going to be a fresh day.

A few days later, outside the city of Taean.

Li Que arched his hand and said to Ye Feng: "Brother Ye, I came to Shandong this time to help Brother Ye fight against Zhong Liyan. Now that this matter is over, I want to return to the south, and I hereby bid farewell to Brother Ye. ”

Ye Feng asked, "Brother Li is going to Miaojiang?" ”

"This ......" Li Que didn't know how to respond, but felt that his face was spicy.

Ye Feng smiled faintly and said: "In the past 20 years in the rivers and lakes, I have fought hard and made countless enmities with others, but it is really the greatest luck in my life to have Brother Li as a close friend!" ”

Li Que said: "Li has always followed the way of chivalry, and Brother Ye is also a chivalrous man, so we can be called brothers." Those who have made enemies with Brother Ye are really because they are called chivalrous in vain! ”

Ye Feng said: "Those who know me, Li Que also!" Last year, when I was in Huashan, you and I agreed to see you next time when the Huashan Divine Army decided. In the past year, although there have been many changes, I think you and I can continue to make this appointment. ”

Li Que nodded and said, "One word is a certainty!" You and I will see you in four years. ”

After Li Que left, Ye Feng called Lu Xiaozhuo to him and said, "The injuries on my body have not healed yet, and I need to go back to Tianshan Mountain to recuperate for a while." What are your plans? ”

Lu Xiaozhuo replied: "I would like to accompany my uncle back to Tianshan Mountain, and I will always accompany my uncle." ”

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "You are still young, and you are the hope of the Tianshan Sect, it is the time to experience the rivers and lakes, how can you waste time by my side?" He took out the Xiyue Sword, "At the beginning, I promised my senior brother that I would cultivate the talents of the head of the family among you and Yu Xiaowei. Now, it is a great achievement for you to recapture the Xiyue Sword for the Tianshan faction and defeat Zhong Liyan. Although your martial arts skills are not as good as your senior brother, you are still enough to be the leader. I will now hand over the Xiyue Sword to you. From today onwards, you are the head of the Tianshan faction. Remember, be sure to revive the Tianshan faction! ”

Lu Xiaozhuo was flattered and hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi, I ......"

Ye Feng stuffed the Xiyue Sword into Lu Xiaozhuo's hand and said, "You don't need to say anything else, you just need to promise not to let the Xiyue Sword be snatched away by others again." ”

Lu Xiaozhuo was stunned for a moment, quickly stood up straight, took the Xiyue Sword, and said, "Yes!" Remember! ”

Another month later, Li Que met Xinlan, who was about to go to Shandong, on the shore of Dongting Lake. Ye Feng returned to the Tianshan Sect and began a retreat that lasted for half a year. Lu Xiaozhuo is in charge of the Xiyue Sword, and there is a new swordsman on the rivers and lakes. Qin Yi made Zhong Liyan's conspiracy public, and under the joint recommendation of all factions in the Central Plains, Qin Yi had no choice but to become the leader of the martial arts alliance again.

At this moment, Zhong Liyan is still wandering on the coast of the East China Sea in Penglai. The bleeding in the throat has stopped, but the wound is still clearly visible. He knew that his actions had been exposed to the world, and he had become the target of public criticism, so he did not dare to return to Hunan. He tossed his hair to cover his face and, like a beggar, wandered around the Shandong Peninsula, waiting for the next opportunity.

One day, a man came from the horizon. He wears a hat that covers his face, a black kimono, his hands are held in front of his chest, a long knife is worn on each waist, and a herringbone geta is dragged on his feet. This is the costume of the Toei samurai.

As soon as Zhong Liyan saw this person, a cold breath penetrated his backbone. As the pair of clogs approached step by step, Zhong Liyan's heart beat faster and faster. Finally, the samurai walked in front of Zhong Liyan.

Zhong Liyan asked, "Akamatsu Yoshito, what are you doing here?" ”

Akamatsu Yoshimochi only said lightly: "The general is very disappointed in you!" ”

Zhong Liyan hurriedly said, "I still have a chance!" ”

But Akamatsu Yoshiji didn't say anything more.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment. The corners of Zhong Liyan's mouth gradually showed a smile, and then, laughing, and then, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter merged with the sound of the waves, piercing the universe.

Suddenly, Zhong Liyan showed the Heavenly Maiden Flower. Then, a flash of light flashed before his eyes. So, he fell. The Celestial Maiden Flower was still in his hand, and he didn't have time to throw it out. In the end, his body was swept into the sea by the waves. The floating goddess flower can be seen on the sea.

Akamatsu wiped the blood from the long knife with a handkerchief and disappeared back to the horizon.

The end of the play.
