Chapter 176: The First Battle of Mr. Seven of the Imperial Palace

The atmosphere in Chaosi Alley is unusually weird.

Xue Wang's voice still echoed in everyone's ears.

Li Mengzhou looked at his teacher, he is a real teacher from now on, although he has not yet bowed to the teacher, but the word teacher has been called many times, and he has long been very familiar with it.

He nodded solemnly, facing Xie Chunfeng, slowly took a few steps forward, and said, "Chief Xie, please." ”

Although the small courtyard was very crowded, there were still some empty places in the middle, and there were disciples who did not fall down the mountain to carry Lu Changge's body to the corner, and the people outside Chaosi Lane were also driven away, freeing up the scope of the battle as much as possible, and many Xuanzheng Division's armor soldiers and disciples who did not fall from the mountain were already standing outside the courtyard gate.

Jiang Zihua was overjoyed that he had suddenly become a pro-heir, but looking at the picture in front of him, Chao Ning Haoran, who was not without nervousness, said: "Fourth Senior Brother, even if Li Mengzhou's identity is promoted to the position of pro-heir, there is no way to change the gap in strength, even if Xie Chunfeng does not dare to kill Li Mengzhou directly, but only seriously injured him, we can't say anything." ”

As long as Xie Chunfeng doesn't kill Li Mengzhou and seriously injure him, the Palace Sword Academy also has to admit it, and he can't continue to shamelessly take the opportunity to make trouble.

Although the style of the Palace Sword Academy is self-directed and extremely unreasonable, it is the most important promise, and it is a bad thing to go back on its word after all, even Xue Wangwu can't say anything.

Ning Haoran said: "Although the cultivation of the junior brother is very weak, his ability to resist attacks is very strong, as long as there is no danger to his life, it is good to let Xie Chunfeng teach him a lesson." ”

Since Xue Wangwu has officially accepted apprentices, Ye Jinyu is Mr. Five, and Jiang Zihua is Mr. Six, then Li Mengzhou, who is at the bottom of the list, is naturally the little junior brother, and Ning Haoran naturally called it out.

Although Ye Jinyu crossed the threshold of the Four Realms later than Jiang Zihua, it was normal for him to get started earlier after all, and to rank in front of Jiang Zihua.

Xue Wangwu chose to accept apprentices at this moment, although he deliberately defended Li Mengzhou, but in fact, Ye Jinyu and Jiang Zihua will become relatives sooner or later, which has been determined by Xue Wangwu, and the only unexpected situation is only Li Mengzhou.

It is also a matter of course for the teacher to protect the apprentice and the senior brother to protect the junior brother, but if the apprentice and the junior brother are too capable of causing trouble and do not obey the discipline, they must also be governed, but the way the Imperial Sword Academy governs the troublesome disciples is a little unusual.

Xie Chunfeng looked at Li Mengzhou with his sword, was silent for a moment, and said: "Now I want to call you Mr. Seven, to be able to become Dean Xue's apprentice, your luck is very good, and it also shows that Dean Xue really has nothing to say to his disciples." ”

Li Mengzhou's cultivation realm is too weak, but any normal person can understand that the reason why Xue Wangwei accepted Li Mengzhou as an apprentice was to save him, which is indeed a very enviable and jealous thing.

No one would think that the current Li Mengzhou has the qualifications to become the personal heir of the Sword Academy.

But whether you believe it or not, admit it or not, Xue Wangwu said that Li Mengzhou's identity as soon as he left the palace sword courtyard was a definite fact.

Although Xue Wangwu only made a simple announcement in Chaosi Alley, this matter spread throughout the entire capital in a very short period of time.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

There is a chessboard in front of His Majesty the Emperor and Jiang Tingyu, Jiang Tingyu holds white chess, His Majesty the Emperor holds black chess, and the aroma of tea is thick in the imperial study, elegant and fragrant.

The spies of the Heavenly Council hurried in and hurried away.

"Dean Xue's move is really unexpected, the Sword Academy of the Palace is no better than other places, it is the only sword cultivation mountain gate in Jiang Country, and over the years, there are only three gentlemen. ”

Ye Jinyu and Jiang Zihua crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, showing their extremely high kendo qualifications, but Li Mengzhou still hovered outside the threshold of the Four Realms, although he had a short time to embark on the path of cultivation, but the Four Realms were extremely high thresholds, and it was easy to stop there, no matter how high his cultivation qualifications were, if he couldn't step into the threshold of the Four Realms, how could he become the gentleman of the Sword Academy. ”

"The road to the sword is difficult, and becoming a family heirloom means carrying the banner of the Sword Academy, for the current Li Mengzhou, it is a little too early, and he will be held to a high place too early, once he accidentally falls down, he will never recover. ”

His Majesty the Emperor slowly dropped the black chess, looked up at Jiang Tingyu, and said, "What do you think of Dean Xue's move?"

Jiang Tingyu held the white chess, thought about the chess path slightly, and said: "According to my opinion, Dean Xue's acceptance of Li Mengzhou as a personal heirloom is by no means a temporary idea, but a long time ago. ”

"Li Mengzhou has cultivated to the peak of the Three Realms in half a year, and he is only half a step away from stepping into the Four Realms, although because of the age he is visualizing, his future achievements are a little unpredictable, but His Majesty and I are not sword cultivators, and naturally they are not as thoughtful as Dean Xue thought. ”

"Since he chose to let Li Mengzhou become the personal heir of the Sword Academy, then it is a matter of time before Li Mengzhou crosses the threshold of the Four Realms, and if he holds Li Mengzhou to a high place at the wrong time, he will indeed face the danger of dying halfway, but as long as Li Mengzhou can resist the pressure and truly show the courage of Mr. Seven of the Sword Academy, then his future growth will also be significant. ”

This is a very simple truth.

Li Mengzhou's current cultivation is too weak, but he has become the seventh Mr. of the Palace Sword Academy, the world's opinion of him is destined to be mixed, and even malicious more than goodwill, if Li Mengzhou can't bear this, he will naturally fall into the abyss, and there will never be a day to turn over, but as long as he is strong-willed and continues to become stronger, the world's opinion of him will eventually change.

Only the strong who grow up in adversity are the most fearless.

"Mr. Seven. His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a moment, and then said abruptly: "Is this a coincidence, or is it really portending something?"

Jiang Tingyu was silent, and he didn't know how to answer, so he silently dropped the white chess piece and said, "It's time for Your Majesty to fall." ”

......

Li Mengzhou slowly pulled out the Wuqing sword, pointed at Xie Chunfeng, and said: "I know very well that I am not your opponent, I am like the carp that dreams of crossing the dragon gate, and you are already a divine dragon soaring above the nine heavens, although we are currently in a hostile relationship, but I don't really regard you as an enemy, Chief Xie's sword, I will do my best to take it." ”

Xie Chunfeng held the sword in his hand and said softly: "I am also honored to be able to witness the appearance of Mr. Seven with my own eyes, but it is a pity that Mr. Seven killed my junior brother, in a sense, this is your first battle as Mr. Seven, then I will try not to let you lose too badly." ”

Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "Then I will try not to let Chief Xie win too easily." ”

It's not that Li Mengzhou doesn't have self-confidence, but the gap is too huge, and it's already rare to be able to lose too badly.

After all, Xie Chunfeng is a strong man who can be equal to the fourth senior brother and only lose slightly, and he is also standing in a very high position in the threshold of the four realms.

The two of them saluted each other and put on a posture.

Li Mengzhou's powerful aura that almost crossed the threshold of the four realms swept through the entire small courtyard in an instant.

However, the aura exuding from Xie Chunfeng's body was even more powerful, and the slightest contact completely swallowed Li Mengzhou's momentum.

The wind swept through the small courtyard of Chaosi Lane.

Rao is He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue also had some heart palpitations, not to mention those cultivators who were also in the Three Realms of cultivation.

Even if Li Mengzhou is only the strength of the peak of the Three Realms, this battle undoubtedly truly belongs to the category of the Four Realms.

Those who have cultivated below the Four Realms are difficult not to be affected by these two breaths.

He Zhengrong looked at Li Mengzhou's back in amazement, and muttered: "You guy has actually become much stronger than when he was in the five-story building, and this aura has clearly crossed the threshold of the four realms." ”

In fact, He Zhengrong's cultivation qualifications are also very high, although the time to enter the meditation is much earlier than Li Mengzhou, but the time to really come into contact with the cultivation of the sword is the same, he is already standing at the peak of the three realms, but from the threshold of the four realms, Li Mengzhou is obviously closer to him.

Crossing the threshold of the Four Realms from the peak of the Three Realms is an extremely difficult level, and Shen Jiyue also broke through to the peak of the Three Realms not long ago, but He Zhengrong still did not advance an inch, but he went further than Shen Jiyue, if he couldn't find the opportunity to break through the realm, I believe that he would soon be caught up by Shen Jiyue.

And Li Mengzhou has to go further than all of them, which makes He Zhengrong a little unwilling.

He has lost to Li Mengzhou twice in a row, and now Li Mengzhou has become the seventh Mr. of the Sword Academy, leaving him far away, He Zhengrong wants to become stronger, surpassing Li Mengzhou's belief, and suddenly strengthened a lot.

Shen Jiyue didn't have He Zhengrong's kind of thoughts, she just frowned slightly and said: "Although Li Mengzhou's aura is very strong, he has not crossed the threshold of the four realms after all, Xie Chunfeng's breath is far superior to him just by the slightest stroke, this kind of situation, even if it is just to take the next sword, it is impossible." ”

Xie Chunfeng is the strongest in the mountain gate except for the mountain master, even if he is slightly weaker than Ning Haoran, but he is also a well-known genius in the Jiang country's cultivation world, even though Li Mengzhou has created many miracles on the path of cultivation, compared to Xie Chunfeng, it is still the difference between heaven and earth.

How can two people be compared if they are not on the same level at all?

Jiang Zihua stood under the eaves and rubbed his hands, and muttered, "That's Xie Chunfeng, why did Li Mengzhou, an idiot, agree to take him with a sword." ”

Ye Jinyu said softly: "Lu Changge's death can't be revealed with just a few words, Li Mengzhou always has to pay something, this is already the best result." ”

Jiang Zihua said depressedly: "The teacher has gone out in person, what can I do if I don't fall off the mountain?"

Ye Jinyu said: "It's just Xie Chunfeng standing here, if the teacher doesn't appear, although the situation will be different, but it will be more troublesome, since the teacher has come to Chaosi Lane, then do you think that the road mountain master who doesn't fall down the mountain won't appear?"

Jiang Zihua glanced at Xue Wangwu who was sitting on the rattan chair, the teacher's expression was particularly solemn, obviously the current situation was not easy.

He was a little awe-inspiring in his heart, and said in disbelief: "Although the mountain master of that road is also a powerhouse in the Five Realms, he should be weaker than the teacher, could it be that the teacher is afraid of him?"

Ye Jinyu shook his head and said, "Do you know why Buluo Mountain holds a Question Asking Conference every year, deliberately targeting the Leaving Palace Sword Academy, but the teacher has never said anything about it?"

Jiang Zihua said puzzledly: "Isn't the teacher's idea just to let us progress through actual combat by those people who don't fall off the mountain?"

Ye Jinyu said: "This is the process, but the appearance of the Ask Conference was organized by Lu Zhonghui, what is his purpose, I believe you should also be very clear, Lu Zhonghui is not aimed at the Palace Sword Academy, but the teacher, there are some stories in it." ”

Jiang Zihua asked curiously, "What's the story?"

Ye Jinyu glanced at him, "How do I know." ”

Jiang Zi painting: "......"

There is a grudge between Xue Wangwei and Lu Zhonghui, which is a well-known thing in the capital, but not many people know the specific reason.

Ye Jinyu understands this, and Jiang Zihua actually understands it, but he can't think of it so much.

It's just that he thinks that the teacher is obviously stronger than Lu Zhonghui, why he has to tolerate him everywhere, it's really incomprehensible, but he doesn't have the courage to ask the teacher directly.

And in the center of the small courtyard, Li Mengzhou's aura has climbed to the peak.

Xie Chunfeng's sword that condensed a large amount of heaven and earth aura was also about to fall towards Li Mengzhou.

Li Mengzhou's face was faintly pale, and the fierce aura made his skin tingle slightly, but in fact, this was also a normal thing.

The span in the threshold of the Four Realms is already very large, not to mention that Li Mengzhou is just a small sword cultivator who has not even stepped into the threshold of the Four Realms, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Xie Chunfeng can crush Li Mengzhou to death with his breath alone.

It's just because Li Mengzhou's physique that has been tempered by the medicinal bath is very strong, and because of the cultivation of the "Silkworm Annihilation Scroll", the mental power is also endless, if it is an ordinary peak monk of the Three Realms, don't say that when Xie Chunfeng cuts out this sword, just the moment he draws the sword, he will die.

He didn't dare to guarantee how strong the sword Xie Chunfeng was and whether there was a trace of killing intent mixed with it, just passively taking this sword made Li Mengzhou very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but want to cut out a sword faster than Xie Chunfeng.

The scorching sun hanging over the small courtyard of Chaosi Lane suddenly lit up with a more scorching light, and the howling wind swept in.

Xue Wangwei, who was sitting on the rattan chair and drinking silently, narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered, "It's finally here." ”

Ning Haoran also noticed the abnormality for the first time, and subconsciously held his right hand on the hilt of the sword.

Mu Nan, who was standing in the small courtyard and watching, also had a change in his expression at this moment, faintly revealing a trace of joy, Dean Xue of the Sword Courtyard of the Palace had personally arrived at Chaosi Lane, and there was no reason why the mountain lord of the road who did not fall from the mountain did not appear.

A howling wind swirled all around.

The heaven and earth aura that Xie Chunfeng condensed on the sword body gradually dissipated.

He looked back, and there was already an extra figure in the small courtyard at some point.

It was a middle-aged man who looked to be at most confused, with a tall figure, a resolute face, a gray shirt, and a sword behind his back, just standing there, it was like a mountain, giving people an endless sense of oppression.

He is the mountain master who does not fall into the mountain gate, the middle of the road, one of the few powerhouses in the Five Realms in the Jiang Kingdom.

Although Lu Zhonghui looked young, he was actually only two years younger than Xue Wangwei, and he was a cultivator of the same generation.

His eyes swept over the people in the small courtyard, and finally fixed on Li Mengzhou's body, without warning, Lu Zhonghui slapped his palm lightly, as if the calm sea suddenly set off a huge wind and waves, and a wave that was enough to destroy all traces surged wildly.

The violent feeling of suffocation made Li Mengzhou's face instantly turn pale, and he snorted, even if a mouthful of blood spurted out, it only came into contact with the wave, and before it really hit, Li Mengzhou felt as if all his internal organs were displaced, and the unimaginable stinging pain hit his heart, giving him the illusion of falling into the abyss at that moment.

But at the moment when the wave was about to sweep Li Mengzhou, Xue Wangwu's figure suddenly stood in front of him, and a mountain of momentum bombarded out, and the wave collapsed in an instant.

Rao is like this, and the aftermath alone overturned everyone present.

Those who were slightly weaker in cultivation also spurted blood like Li Mengzhou, and the whole person became sluggish.

Even Ning Haoran, Xie Chunfeng, and Mu Nan were slightly pale, their bodies staggered, and they almost fell.

The aura of terror made everyone tremble.

This is the terrifying coercion from the Great Cultivator of the Five Realms.

Even if the power dissipates, the aftermath of the ripple alone is enough to kill everyone present in an instant.

If it weren't for Xue Wangwu's timely interception, this force would have bombarded Li Mengzhou's body, and I am afraid that there would not be even scum left.

Even his physique, tempered by a medicinal bath, was nothing in the face of such terrifying power.

Xue Wangwu looked at Lu Zhonghui with a somewhat solemn face, and said, "Directly killing my apprentice, you really have no scruples." ”

Lu Zhonghui said with a cold expression: "Xue Wangwei, what nonsense are you talking about, your apprentice killed my apprentice, then it is only natural that I will kill your apprentice, if you want to stop it, I will accompany you to the end." ”

"To tell you the truth, I've been looking forward to a showdown with you for a long time, if you continue to hide in the palace sword courtyard, I will eventually kill all your apprentices, and now it's your apprentices who kill me first, if you want to protect your apprentices, pull out your sword and fight with me for real. ”

Xue Wangwu's demeanor at this moment had never been shown in front of Ning Haoran, the disciples of the Leaving Palace Sword Academy, and his eyes looking at Lu Zhongwei were very complicated, and he even had some guilt.

He sighed softly and said: "Lu Zhonghui, so many years have passed, why can't you look at the things of the year, you and I both know very well in our hearts that if we really want to fight, there will definitely be one person who will die, I don't want to kill you, and I don't want to die, so I can only avoid this battle." ”

Lu Zhonghui said sarcastically: "Xue Wangwu, the ending between you and me, after all, is to separate you from life and death, you have been hiding for a long time, look at your current appearance, the old Longzhong, the once high-spirited Xue Wangwu, now he has become a twilight old man, and now he doesn't even have the courage to draw a sword?"

Xue Wangwu said softly: "You do look much younger than me now, I am getting older, and I have forgotten a lot of things, life in the world, past, present, future, always have to look forward, don't sink into the past, that is not your path." ”
