Ni Zhenchun's breathing became more and more rapid.

The heavy sword intent that kept appearing around his body seemed to have added a lot of weight to his body, and he gradually couldn't move his feet, and was stabbed in the shoulder by He Zhengrong's sword, which was directly pierced, and blood splattered.

He snorted, staggered, and nearly fell.

But before he could stand firm, He Zhengrong stabbed him with another sword.

Ni Zhenchun was furious in his heart, and he avoided the sword in embarrassment, and his body finally fell to the ground, turning his head and roaring: "He Zhengrong!

He Zhengrong held the big stone sword in his hand, and said calmly: "In the past, I may indeed be a waste of firewood, but now, the person who is a waste of wood is you, don't look at me with your previous thoughts, it will seem that you are stupid, the facts have proven that it is easy for me to kill you, you better change your attitude." ”

Ni Zhenchun's expression was a little frozen.

He thought about the henchworm who could be beaten and scolded when he was a child, how could he suddenly be like a different person, dare to ridicule him in front of him in Taiqing Building, and even dare to draw a sword to him and show killing intent, all of which are completely different from He Zhengrong in his impression.

Obviously, both of them are at the peak of the Three Realms, but the gap is obvious, which is something that Ni Zhenchun can't figure out, and it is also something that makes him feel indignant.

Although sword cultivation is indeed a very terrifying kind of person, this kind of distance with almost no power to resist wants to make Ni Zhenchun crazy.

He Zhengrong breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked down at his childhood playmate with an embarrassed face, and his heart became more and more calm, and a trace of complexity only flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared completely.

His mood became very stable.

Slowly lowering his body, He Zhengrong leaned into Ni Zhenchun's ear and said softly: "I have broken the rules for going upstairs, but there are some rules that I can't break yet, so you can be lucky to continue to live, but you better be nervous, because I will come to take your life soon." ”

He grabbed Ni Zhenchun's shoulder, which was pierced by the big stone sword, listened to Ni Zhenchun's terrible screams, flew up, and kicked him down the three-story stairs.

He Zhengrong looked around and found that there was no one in the three-story building, only those guards lined up neatly, staring at him without any color in their eyes.

On the staircase leading to the fourth floor, a figure stood.

is looking at He Zhengrong with very complicated eyes.

That's a pottery leaf.

Unexpectedly, the disciples who came to the banquet from Cangnan Mountain were the only ones who managed to climb the fourth floor.

Noticing He Zhengrong's gaze on her, Tao Ye didn't speak, turned straight and continued to step on the stairs to the stairs.

He Zhengrong was silent for a moment, and then he also stepped up to follow.

He defeated Fang Changsheng and Ni Zhenchun in the challenge one after another, and he had the qualifications to go directly to the building, and those three-story guards would naturally not stop him anymore.

Watch as his figure disappears down the stairs leading to the four floors.

The entire three floors fell into an eerie silence.

However, I don't know how long it has been, but at the staircase leading from the second floor to the third floor, there is a clear sound of footsteps.

The faces of the three-story guards who had already relaxed their vigilance suddenly changed.

Someone else going upstairs?

......

There was only one guard on the fourth floor.

A four-realm general from the military department.

The aura of killing filled the entire four-story building.

It's like being on a battlefield with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The few Chengyi Upper Realm cultivators who had climbed the fourth floor by the challenge did not stay here for long because of the pre-established rules that as long as they could climb the fourth floor, they could go directly to the fifth floor to attend the banquet, so they did not stay here for long, and the Four Realms guard with a spear in his hand was like a stake, sitting idly by.

In fact, as long as you climb the fourth floor, you are already qualified to go to the banquet, except for those who have been taken care of a little bit and are weak, the rest of the climbers are just competing for a better seat position when going to the banquet.

Shen Jiyue and Zhou Luo, who were also cultivating in the upper realm of Chengyi, as well as Xie Ning and Tao Ye of Cangnan Mountain, who did not set the mountain, also went directly to the fifth floor after climbing the fourth floor.

Those who remained on the four floors were all at the peak of the Cheng Realm, and a few cultivators who had crossed the threshold of the Four Realms.

......

On the fifth floor, Shen Qiubai looked at the climbers who came up from the stairs, sensed the breath that appeared outside the building, and muttered in a low voice, "What do you want to do here?"

Ning Haoran and Xie Chunfeng also frowned slightly, that aura was more familiar to them.

Even Xu Hexian, Yue Shiting, Fan Wuwei, Qingyi and others also noticed a trace of abnormality outside the building.

Only Ping Po lowered her head, and the sound of heavier breathing came.

It's inevitable that this will happen when you're older.

Shen Qiubai stood up and said, "I'll go outside the building." ”

Xu Hexian and Yue Shiting glanced at each other and did not speak.

Fan Wuwei groped his fat chin, revealing a meaningful expression.

......

I don't know when it started to rain outside.

It seems that the light rain the day before yesterday was just a precursor, and what awaited it was a heavy rain.

Under the eaves outside the building, a black oil-paper umbrella was held, and a slender figure stood under the umbrella.

The rain falls on the eaves and down the cracks to the ground, blooming countless lotus flowers, connected by clear and crystalline waterlines, as if covered with a curtain.

Under the umbrella is a girl in a strong suit with blue and red color stitching.

The face is cold and peerless.

Hold an umbrella in your left hand and a sword in your right hand.

Her eyes were fixed on the building, for there was a young man who was about to carry his sword upstairs.

The lobby on the first floor was filled with young monks who had been eliminated.

The palace guards under the eaves outside the building originally wanted to stop the young man, but when their eyes touched the girl holding the umbrella, their faces became a little solemn.

As a result, the boy crossed the threshold very easily.

However, although the guards guarding the door did not stop him, there were people on the first floor who stood in front of the young man.

Tang Tian's expression was very complicated, and he said quietly: "You are late. ”

The young man said blankly, "Aren't you still here?"

Tang Tian was silent for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "The people here are all people who failed to climb the stairs and are not qualified to go up to the fifth floor to attend the banquet. ”

He briefly explained to the boy the rules for climbing the stairs.

The young man said suddenly: "So now that the climb is still continuing, then I won't be too late." ”

Tang Tian said: "You already know the rules of climbing the stairs, there are guards on every floor, with you alone, you can't climb the stairs with the help of the qualification of the challenge, you can only face those guards, do you think there is still a must to climb the stairs?"

The boy asked, "Why is it not necessary?" It's just that there are stronger guards on every floor. ”

He seemed to be speaking very easily, and he looked like he didn't care.

Tang Tian was a little speechless.

Although this is the truth, but only the second floor has nearly a hundred guards who are committed to the cultivation of the upper realm, if you climb the tower alone, even if you can defeat those guards and climb the third floor, it will inevitably consume a lot of energy, and if you can't climb the fourth floor, you will consume all your physical strength and mental power, and you are already doomed to failure.

So he told the boy all these words very seriously.

The young man was silent thoughtfully, and said, "It's okay, since you're here, you have to go upstairs to try." ”

Seeing that he couldn't dissuade the young man, Tang Tian had nothing to say, but finally said: "I was defeated in the hands of Guan Muyun, he is already a cultivator at the peak of the Three Realms, and now he may still be on the fourth floor, if you can really climb it, I hope you can meet him." ”

"Okay. The boy nodded, and headed for the second floor.

Tang Tian looked at the other party's back silently, and said with some self-deprecation: "I can't see your cultivation realm clearly, maybe you can really catch up." ”

Ni Zhenchun was accompanying Fang Changsheng, who was in a coma, but he didn't notice the late boy, but he kept a gloomy face.

At this time, in the rain curtain outside the building in the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind.

The figure of the white-clothed Shengxue floated down, like an immortal in the dust.

Shen Qiubai did not go downstairs in a normal way, but chose the fastest way.

He stood under the eaves opposite the Panlong Banquet Pavilion, and looked across the street at the man with the umbrella.

The girl under the umbrella was originally looking at the building, but after Shen Qiubai appeared, she also shifted.

Shen Qiubai smiled and said, "Let's talk about it in another place." ”

The girl looked at the man in white Shengxue opposite and nodded slightly.

It's just that on the teahouse across the street from the Panlong Banquet Pavilion, two people sit opposite each other.

A teahouse guy served a pot of hot tea.

Shen Qiubai lifted the delicate glass teapot, poured two cups of tea, handed one of them to the girl, and laughed softly: "Miss Xiao has just arrived in the capital, so don't be surprised." ”

Xiao Zhinan glanced at the cup of tea in front of him, did not drink it, turned his eyes to the pavilion opposite, and said, "He is ascending the stairs." ”

Shen Qiubai said with some doubts: "Miss Xiao recognizes that young man?"

Xiao Zhinan looked back at him and said, "You don't know him?"

Shen Qiubai said with a smile: "I've heard the name, but it's the first time I've seen it." ”

It was the first time he had seen the young man in black, and it was also the first time he had seen Xiao Zhinan.

Thinking that Xiao Zhinan had defeated Mr. Four of the Sword Academy in the Wanli Plain, and even had a very wonderful battle with the Academy's Beizangfeng, he also had some expectations in his heart.

Xiao Zhinan was silently thinking about something in his heart.

Although the world is very large, many things are basically transparent, and there is a mysterious person in the market who compiled the "Vertical and Horizontal Scroll", which describes in great detail the amazing young monks in the world.

It is not uncommon to hear only his name and not see his person.

The names of Xiao Zhinan and Shen Qiubai have all appeared in "Vertical and Horizontal Scrolls", for example, the names of Ning Haoran and Xie Chunfeng are of course also available, but among the new cultivators, such as Li Mengzhou and Guan Muyun and He Zhengrong, they have not yet appeared in "Vertical and Horizontal Scrolls".

But when the new volume of "Vertical and Horizontal Volume" is released, as long as Li Mengzhou and Guan Muyun do not die halfway, they will appear on it sooner or later.

When Xiao Zhinan was silently practicing in the sword house, he also occasionally went out, but he was noticed by the author of "Vertical and Horizontal Scroll" and written into "Vertical and Horizontal Scroll".

Even at that time, Xiao Zhinan's reputation was not good, but as long as anyone who has watched "Vertical and Horizontal Scrolls" will know that there is a girl named Xiao Zhinan in the Beiyan Sword House, known as a rare kendo wizard in a century.
