An ebony keel ship sailed quietly on the Tiantuo Strait, this huge ship that can accommodate thousands of people was polished by the Wujia family in Youzhou for three months with thousands of skilled craftsmen, and it was presented to the Shuofeng Department as a gift for the birth of the son.

The Youzhou Wu family has been shipping for generations as a family business, from generation to generation to make violence, they will ship the leather herbs, ores and other items of the North Continent to the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce by sea, and then radiate the entire East Continent to discover the city, and then sell the silk, wine, iron and salt of the East Continent to the North Continent, back and forth, has become the largest family Chamber of Commerce in this Jiuzhou except for the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and even according to legend, their business can be done in the uninhabited Wumin tribes in the West Continent.

And the east land of Jiuzhou, the north land and the west land are endless oceans, the Wu family has been through this for a long time, and the ability of shipbuilding and navigation is also the best in Jiuzhou.

Many families will buy ships built by the Wu family with a lot of money, and often the number of ships built by the Wu family in a year is scarce and hard to find, and even the Shuofeng Department is just a dozen ebony keel ships, each of which is worth 10,000 gold.

The sun shines on the open shore, and the large and small circles are carved into the texture of the wooden shore, looping and intersecting each other, and the endless sea surface shimmers in the sun's rays.

One old and one young, standing on the shore of the ship.

The blade flowed with a dark golden cold light, and Azule stared down at his blade, his wrist turning slightly, and the blade turned slowly in the sunlight to the maximum.

"The Great Wilderness Knife is not a brute force charge without rules, but the moment you take out the knife, all your spirit is condensed on that small blade, and there is no extra opportunity to think about how to move.

So you have to repeat every movement more than 10,000 times when you are doing it, until this action is so deeply in your mind that you don't have to think about it at all, and when the time comes, it will naturally split out. ”

The old man was right across from him, his feet turning as if they were stepping on a big circle, "Don't indulge yourself on a rampage, keep your strength on the blade, and think about every slash in your hand." ”

"It's not like the Great Sword, which is a huge circle, and the Great Wilderness Knife is a point, a point that is enough to pour out all the power."

"Yes!"

"Then try to attack it."

The old man nodded slightly, shaking his hand and swinging the long knife in his hand.

His hands pressed the ends of the tail of the knife, and then slowly moved towards the middle, and finally his hands were almost in one place, and he loosely held the middle of the tail of the knife.

He took a light step, as short as a leopard, and stared sideways at Azule.

The blade of Da Han in Azule's hand sank, and his wrist was raised sharply, and the knife momentum immediately rose up.

There was almost no sign of gaining momentum, and everything was done in a short moment, and Azule's feet jerked away from the big circle at the old man's feet.

The long knife turned into a straight line across the center of the circle, whistling and piercing the old man's eyebrows.

The old man retreated sharply with the knife in front of Azule.

With a bend of his knees, the faster Azule entered, the faster the old man retreated.

At the same time, the reflected sunlight jumped on Azule's long knife and the old man's blade, and the two erupted in no particular order, and the large pile of dust was stirred up by the wind, trembling and rolling in the wind, and the silver light of the knife and the knife was obscured, and there was only a "ding" sound of fighting, as if a very tight silver thread was played.

The two people who approached each other stepped back after an instantaneous handover, and the old man and Azule flashed to the left together, sliding and stopping, and at the same time flashing to the right, but they did not change direction, exerting force again, and running to the right side at the same time.

The two were separated by no more than a foot, and they could hit the opponent with a shot, but neither of them attacked again.

It's just a flash of speed in a very short moment, with exactly the same speed and timing, like a person and his shadow in the mirror. The shore was filled with the sound of clattering footsteps, and the wind and dust rose and fell under the feet of the two men, as if wrapped in turbulence.

The two of them approached at the same time again, and the old man was already easily manipulating the long knife with one hand, the blade swept down in a perfect half-arc, and the great cold of Azul slashed down from the exact opposite direction.

The blade and the blade collided and swung apart, the blade seemed to be completely unfocused, but the blade rotated along the force of the swing, and the direction of the old man's change was only instantaneous, and the blade slashed out silently.

And the speed of the great cold recovery in Azule's hand did not lag behind at all, the opponent did not retreat this time, the continuous force and slash, the sunlight reflected on the sword flashed strangely, no one could see how many sword light slashes he had, those slashes were almost at the same time, from above, from below, from left, from right, and from right up, right down, left top and left, as if in an instant there was a steel chrysanthemum blooming in front of him, and the old man's slow and fluttering straight stab was pierced to the stamen of the chrysanthemum.

The old man didn't dare to maintain this straight slash any longer, and the blade trembled and changed, and in all directions, it exchanged a series of blows with Da Han's blade, and all the sounds of the exchange were continuous like a continuous long sound.

The two of them retreated again, each still, their breathing heavy and rapid.

The old man was still short, his posture was the same as before he moved, as if he had never moved, and Azul was standing as before, his sword flashing coldly in front of him.

The old man looked down at his feet, and the other's feet were just on the great circle he had drawn earlier.

The two glanced at each other, and all they saw was a quiet gaze, and they couldn't see the slightest nervousness, and the sword was finally raised above their heads, and they suddenly froze.

At this moment, the extremely sharp voice completely tore through the silence.

The old man's silver blade leaped up, and the birch-barked silver barrel of the gun seemed to have a twisted dragon beating, and time stopped for a moment.

The old man roared violently, exhaling his long white beard and pouring a steady stream of power into the blade, and the restless dragon that was throbbing on the knife suddenly broke free and stabbed at Azule's throat.

It was not a moment that the human eye could capture at all, the aftermath of the cry was still in the ears, and everything was calm again.

The distance between the old man and Azule was only five feet, and the two men stared at each other motionlessly.

Azul pulled away again, and pounced like a leopard.

The sharp aura above the Great Chill's blade gradually wore away with every inch of advance, and Azule's chest tightened, knowing that his strength could no longer keep up with the speed of progress.

He didn't breathe when he almost had to breathe, and he forced himself to take another deep breath, and the blade of the Great Cold sank again, increasing his speed out of thin air, straight to the old man's chest.

The silver long knife with a cold glow poked out in the air, and the silver light trembled rapidly around Da Han's blade, and a silver arc was like a ball of thread that stuck Da Han's forward trend.

The old man let out a low snort, and leaned sideways, and the knife in his right hand pressed Da Han to one side.

Five inches away, the cold whistled past his shoulder.

Azule staggered to stop his pace from being shaken by the tremendous force of the old man's sword.

He gasped a few times with the knife in his hand, did not look back, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the long silver knife must have stopped quietly in the back of his neck at this time.

"Alright," the old man withdrew his knife with a faint smile on his face, "I'll get here here today." ”

"I'm ......" Azule lowered his head, looking a little depressed, he thought that his sword skills would not be too bad, but now he couldn't touch the old man's body.

This was the 10th time he had tried his hand with the old man, but the result was almost the same every time.

His sprint became faster and faster, and sometimes even he himself was frightened by the whistling sound of the Great Han Knife, but it was all the same result when it came to the old man.

The long knife was like a silver ghost in the old man's lonely hand, and as long as it was entangled, no matter how fierce the knife was, it would be dissolved lightly.

Azul's knife resembled an angry dragon, but what it pierced into the boundless sea, only splashed in small pieces.

"Still don't understand?" The old man wiped the blade of the knife with the jacket on his body and chuckled, "You think you don't have any entry in the knife technique, right?" ”

He held up the knife he was holding in his hand: "Take a closer look, where is my position now. ”

Azul looked up and was surprised to find that the old man's position had moved to less than three feet from the cabin.

The old man's knife is an eight-foot-long long knife, and when he holds the knife in one and a half feet, he only has a length of six feet and five inches in his hand, which is a taboo with a knife.

And now the old man is less than three feet away, but he is holding a knife and a half.

And the big cold in Asur's hand is still seven feet long, and Azule will always hold the end of the sword, leaving the length as much as possible to the enemy, and now he is closer to the old man than the previous times.

"You've made progress, it's just that you haven't felt it yet. The first time I tried my hand with you, I was holding the tail of the knife, and you just pushed me back.

If you don't have to, you can kill early if you want to leave the length to the enemy to avoid the opponent attacking your side.

However, the difference of the Great Wilderness Sword is that the shorter the distance left, the stronger the defensive power.

When I was your age, I used a four-foot short knife, and I could really operate a seven-foot long knife, and I used it for forty years.

But your thrust is getting faster and faster, and I have to change where I hold the knife and the distance behind me. ”

"That ......" Azule's eyes widened as if he thought of something.

"That's right! You're right. My strongest defense was when I was holding the front and tail of the knife and there was still a seven-foot distance behind me.

At that time, I held two four-foot short knives to form the strongest defense in the Great Wilderness Sword Technique, the 'Great Wilderness One-handed Array', and at that time, if you can still break through my defense, you will truly become my opponent. ”

"The Great Wilderness One-handed Formation?" Azule stared at the long knife in the old man's hand, stunned.

"It's a skill I've painstakingly conceived and honed for half a lifetime, and it wasn't until I was in the shadow prison that I honed this knife technique bit by bit.

When I have both hands on my hands, I have absolute confidence that even if two Valkyries attack my left and right wings at the same time, I can easily deal with it.

This is not only a one-person knife technique, but also extremely terrifying when a group of people form a knife formation.

When more than fifty people can use the sword technique of the Great Wilderness One-handed Formation, they will form a Great Wilderness Formation, which can be called an invincible defense. ”

The old man was silent for a moment, "Don't talk about this, you will learn these sword techniques by heart these days, and in the future, whether you want to establish a personal guard or whatever, it is your own business, as long as you don't insult the name of the Great Wilderness Sword Technique, I will be satisfied."

My greatest wish in this life is to create a sword technique that is comparable to that used by the Temptar Heavenly God, and to see if I can defeat the heavens with manpower.

Besides, you don't have to come to me often, what I can teach you will be taught to you in a few days, and you need to polish the rest yourself.

Knife technique, in the final analysis, is just a killing technique, if you don't personally go into battle to kill, you will never understand the most profound things. ”

"When will I learn the Blade of the Great Wilderness?"

"Why are you so eager to learn the Blade of the Great Wilderness?"

"I want to lead the army to the Eastern Continent, there will be a conflict of forces, I must have a power that can protect myself in a state where I can't burst blood, and I can deter others."

The old man frowned violently, and a sharp light flashed in his sea-blue eyes: "This is not what a noble king should say!" Could it be that you practice knives just for these trivial things? ”

"I'm ......" Azul froze for a moment.

"You are the legendary Heavenly Warrior, holding the sword of the Great Wilderness in your hand, as well as the knife of the Great Wilderness, cutting all roads and killing everyone! You have learned the simple knife technique of the Great Wilderness, and then you have to learn the Great Wilderness Body, and then the Great Wilderness One-handed Array and the Great Wilderness Knife, the more skills you learn, the greater the power in your hands,"

The old man's eyes lit up, staring at Azul aggressively, "But what do you want to do with these powers?" Is it just your own glory and victory, and your own safety and the power to deter others? ”

The old man said in a generous tone, and suddenly grabbed Azul's hand with his right hand, and the force of his thin right hand was so great that Azul felt unbearable pain.

"I will never be able to forgive my sins in my life, and I don't want your future to be the same as mine," the old man pressed his thin, strong fingers together to hold Azul's fingers together.

"Our hands take up arms, we are not afraid to die on the battlefield! Isn't there a reason why we have to do this? What are you for? For money? For status? Or for honor? ”

He shook Azul's hand off and sat back down on the high cabin, taking a deep breath.

"You are in the same vein, since ancient times, you are either a madman or a hero, you are now my student, I don't want you to be a madman or a hero, a madman will be tied to a raging fire and burned into a pile of ashes, what about heroes, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but it is full of pain and a few people know."

The old man's sheepskin jacket was a little tattered, and it shook in the wind, and the old man bowed his head with a lonely expression, and the sun shone on his face without joy or sorrow.

Azule froze in place, his heart tumbling upside down.

"Since ancient times, the Heavenly Warrior has been ill-fated, and your grandfather is the Heavenly Warrior, so can he lay a great foundation in the chaotic Hanzhou, and so is King Xun, so he can dominate Hanzhou and be called the first prince on the grassland.

Azule, you too, you are also burdened with the same fate, this is a road destined to be full of thorns, you are destined to have an infinite future, this is the chosen one, and the only one.

You can't just rely on your own force to do something, you're not alone, never will, everyone will follow your horse, what you should do now is choose how to be a great lord of the steppe. ”

The old man shook his head, stopped talking, and waved at Azule for him to leave.

Azule looked at the suddenly angry old man in puzzlement, thinking secretly about what the old man had just said, and after seeing the old man wave his hand at him, he could only retreat and salute, turn around and go into the cabin.

Azul's back vanished, and the old man looked up at the empty sky and sighed lowly.

"There are still five miles to go, we have crossed the boundless sea, and we are about to reach the north of the Shuofeng Plain, go home, go home!"

Ah Qi Azule and the others sat in the comfortable cabin, but they heard the deafening cheers outside the cabin, a shallow smile appeared on Azule's face, and Ah Qi, who was sitting in a daze on the other side, heard this, and his mood became more and more excited for a while, and he hurriedly leaned over and lifted the curtain of the cabin and ran out.

The two of them stood side by side on the huge handrail of the ship, watching the huge ship break through the bottomless blue sea, and they could already vaguely see the towering Tongyun Holy Mountain and the vast and boundless Shuofeng Plain.

Ah Qi looked at all this with joy in his eyes, faintly tears flickering, he sniffed the air deeply, and narrowed his eyes intoxicated.

"Azule, you smell it, is it the fragrance of the climbing chrysanthemum on the Shuofeng Plain!"

Ah Qi turned his head and looked at Azule happily, patted Azule on the shoulder excitedly and said.

Azule couldn't help but take a deep breath, and indeed the tip of his nose could smell a faint fragrance, which was the smell he was very familiar with, the golden creeping chrysanthemum that bloomed all over the Shuofeng Plain.

"It's home!"

With a long-lost tenderness, Azule patted Ah Qi on the side.

As the ship got closer to the shore, the fragrance on the tip of Azule's nose became more and more intense, and a black cloud suddenly appeared in the large golden yellow, and then he squinted and looked closely, and saw the black-armored cavalry standing on the shore like a black cloud.

Azule looked at the fierce and iron-clad Yulin Iron Guard, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, the conjecture in his heart had been more and more confirmed, otherwise how could the accompanying Iron Guard who was responsible for guarding his Abba be waiting for his arrival on the other side of this boundless sea early.

"Is this a kind reminder from me? Abba! Tell me it's all under your control? ”

Azul narrowed his eyes, a sudden hint of anger rising in his chest.
