Xiao Zhinan was already ready to rest, she was wearing a very light red gauze dress, but it was not transparent, and the red afterimage swept in the night sky, which was very amazing.

Xu Hexian's face became a little solemn.

Regardless of his praise as the strongest and invincible in the Four Realms, Xiao Zhinan is not a person who can be underestimated, after all, he is one of the most demonic characters of the younger generation in the world, in the realm, there is not much difference between the two sides, if there is a little carelessness, the so-called strongest praise in the Four Realms is a joke.

The raindrop that was flicked by Xiao Zhinan's slender jade finger was wrapped in a powerful sword intent from Lang Huan's sword house, which was enough to penetrate the steel in an instant, Xu Hexian used a long whip, which was also forged with a very special material, and it was reinforced with a formation technique, which could be described as indestructible, enough to penetrate the raindrops of stainless steel, and when he encountered the long whip thrown by Xu Hexian, he immediately made a dull explosion.

The long whip was slightly blocked, and in an instant, it continued to flung forward, and the last flower sword that followed was tightly wound by the long whip.

Xiao Zhinan retracted the sword slightly, a huge binding force made her frown slightly, the binding force of the long whip was very strong, tightly holding the sword body, if it was an ordinary sword blade, with a little force, it might break.

And the natal sword of sword cultivation is most likely to be broken unless the sword master is seriously injured and dies frequently, and the natal sword that condenses the sword intent of the sword master is still indestructible even when the sword master dies.

Only when the sword master's will is weak, the Natal Flying Sword is the most vulnerable to collapse.

The sword master dies, the natal sword is still alive, but the natal sword dies, even if the sword owner is not dead, it must be half dead, if he is seriously injured, then the real sword is in the person, and the sword is dead.

The sword intent penetrated into Xu Hexian's right wrist through the long whip, and the sharp sword intent almost shattered Xu Hexian's tiger mouth, causing his brows to furrow tightly.

Staring at the woman in red opposite, Xu Hexian said softly: "Sword cultivation is really a very strange existence, even if it is the sword that binds you, but your sword is everywhere. ”

Jian Xiu held the sword in his hand.

It means the second sword.

When the sword and the intention are combined, it is the strongest sword cultivation.

The sword cultivation without a sword in his hand is still very strong, but without the foil of the sword, he will not be able to exert his true strength, and the sword intent is the foundation of the sword cultivation and the foundation of strength.

When the sword intent and the heart are combined, you can achieve the way of the sword and win the Great Sword Immortal!

Xiao Zhinan's sword intent was already the strongest, and what she was pursuing was the path of the sword heart, which was the closest and only path to the sword immortal.

The sword bound by the long whip burst out with an extremely dazzling sword.

The momentum of that sword was extremely fierce, although the defense level reinforced by the long whip could not be shattered in an instant, but there was also a crisp sound like a popping bean, forcing Xu Hexian to withdraw the long whip.

The tiger's mouth in the right hand holding the handle of the whip has been cracked, and a trace of blood is flowing out, and the whole arm is trembling slightly, Xu Hexian looked at Xiao Zhinan with a particularly solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "You have become a little stronger than when you fought against Zhuge Dan outside the South City Gate, if you go on like this, you will definitely surpass Shen Qiubai, it is really a terrible cultivation qualification." ”

Xiao Zhinan, who first arrived in the capital, unfortunately lost to Shen Qiubai, and in fact, in the pinnacle battle in the Wanli Plain, Xiao Zhinan also lost to Beizangfeng, and the only one she won was Ning Haoran.

Although after Xiao Zhinan left Beiyan, she suffered one win and two defeats, if Zhuge Dan is counted, it is three defeats, but she continues to become stronger, her cultivation qualifications that can be called demons are really worthy of the name, even if Shen Qiubai and Beizangfeng are first-class, in the threshold of the peak of the Four Realms, it has been stagnant for a long time, and it is very difficult and difficult to make progress in a short period of time.

But Xiao Zhinan will make progress after every desperate battle, which is an extremely terrifying thing.

Maybe it's because Xiao Zhinan is younger than Shen Qiubai and Beizangfeng, her limit has not yet reached the bottleneck, so she can make more significant progress, and once she faces the huge bottleneck at the peak of the Four Realms, her cultivation speed will gradually slow down.

The qualifications of ordinary geniuses, when they initially cross the threshold of the Four Realms, the cultivation speed will drop to the point of extremely slow, but the real demon will not drop to the freezing point until the height of the peak of the Four Realms, and only need to find an opportunity to break the ice in this process, and then he can enter the peak of the Five Realms in one fell swoop.

But the process of finding an opportunity to break the ice is extremely long.

If the opportunity does not come, there may even be a tragic event that you will not be able to cross the five realms in a lifetime.

Of course, qualifications are very important, but the subtlety of the threshold of the Five Realms is also elusive, and no one knows when they can cross it.

Only at that time will it become clear.

Xu Hexian's expression was a little complicated.

Of course, he didn't show his skills, but Xiao Zhinan's strength also surprised him, even if he had witnessed Xiao Zhinan resolutely drawing his sword and slashing at Zhuge Dan in the cage, but when he really fought with Xiao Zhinan, he realized that those witnesses and conjectures were still untrue.

What he had was just an accident, but he didn't feel that Xiao Zhinan had the strength to defeat him.

Qi Xiaoran was at the peak of the Four Realms, but he was afraid of Shen Qiubai and Beizangfeng, but Xu Hexian, who was also at the peak of the Four Realms, was a strong man who could defeat either Shen Qiubai and Beizangfeng with one move in the strongest posture.

There is also a difference between strength and weakness in the peak realm, but there is no particularly detailed realm division, but in the tacit mind of the cultivator, the peak realm of each great realm has a higher hidden realm.

There is no accurate name for that hidden realm, so it is generally distinguished by the word half-step, for example, above the peak of the four realms, there is a small realm of half-step knowing the gods, and knowing the gods is the five realms.

Shen Qiubai and Beizang Feng are both cultivators at the peak of the Four Realms, but they are extremely close to half-step Knowing God, while Qi Xiaoran is just an ordinary peak cultivator of the Four Realms, and Yue Shiting is at the same level as him, but he will be killed by Qi Xiaoran if he is weaker.

And Xu Hexian is already standing in the hidden realm of half-step knowledge of the gods, it is really a powerful monk who can step into the threshold of the five realms only half a step away, and when Shen Qiubai used the star infusion technique to improve the realm, that is, he stepped into the half-step knowledge of the gods, and did not really cross the threshold of the five realms.

Xiao Zhinan's cultivation realm is stronger than Qi Xiaoran's, but it is still slightly weaker than Shen Bei's, so it is almost impossible to win against Xu Hexian.

Although he hurt Xu Hexian with his sword intent, Xiao Zhinan also knew what was going on in his heart, Xu Hexian didn't even get serious, which was something that would make the belligerent Xiao Zhinan feel very bad.

"Even if it's a point-to-point exchange, I hope that Xu Sishou can take it seriously, that sword can't hurt you. ”

Xu Hexian was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Then I'll be serious." ”

He has never been a very generous person, although it was his own reason to be hurt by Xiao Zhinan, he still felt very unhappy, since the other party had this request, then he should try his best to meet it.

And on the premise that he doesn't want to be completely hostile to Xiao Zhinan, he can't really go all out, as long as he shows a little serious attitude, it is enough to defeat Xiao Zhinan.

The praise of the strongest in the Four Realms is not just for fun.

The long whip in his hand was thrown out.

A blast exploded in mid-air.

The bead curtain of the light rain splashed in all directions, and it hurt to hit people.

The long whip dancing in the light rain was like a dragon, stirring the wind and rain, roaring up to the sky, and fiercely attacking Xiao Zhinan.

The powerful sense of coercion came to the face, and the condensed heaven and earth aura accumulated the air in the courtyard, and the dull feeling of suffocation was very easy to make people fall into despair.

But Xiao Zhinan only frowned slightly, and then raised his sword and slashed over.

In addition to the strongest amazing sword skills, there are also all kinds of the most simple and direct sword skills, and the Beiyan Sword House believes in one move to defeat the enemy, and all the sword paths are the most decisive, without hesitation.

Xiao Zhinan didn't directly slash out the Shocking Sword, because the occasion was not right, if the sword intent erupted too strongly, the entire Xianfu Inn would suffer, and there would be blockers in the capital, which was a very troublesome thing.

And he has already agreed to learn from Xu Hexian, Xiao Zhinan should keep his promise and show the strongest swordsmanship in the rules of the capital.

There was wind and rain sweeping in the small courtyard, but it did not affect the outside world in the slightest, but after all, it was the great monks at the peak of the four realms who were fighting, and the powerful aura that burst out was also noticed by those cultivators who lived in the Xianfu Inn for the first time.

It was two extremely terrifying aura, which made the cultivators who had to enjoy it in the Xianfu Inn tremble and be frightened, and their ugliness was fully revealed, but as ordinary people, the little girl in Tsing Yi and those maids didn't understand what was going on, what they could feel was the slight tremor of the earth at close range, but they couldn't capture the terrifying aura that was suppressed to suffocation.

If it weren't deliberate, a cultivator's combat aura would not cause harm to ordinary people, and only a cultivator who truly understood what those two breaths represented would feel fear.

There are cultivators who are a little bolder, gathered together, wanting to find out.

Of course, they didn't dare to use their fugue intent to check it, in the environment where the two powerful auras collided, their slight cultivation, and the slightest close to the fugue intent, might collapse, and if it was serious, it might even cause their mind to be damaged and they would directly become idiots.

It was very easy to find the small courtyard where Xiao Zhinan was, and when they slowly groped their way outside the courtyard wall, a powerful aura that rushed to their faces made their bodies stiffen instantly, but that aura quickly dissipated, and it seemed that it was just the aftermath of the outburst, which meant that the battle was over.

They patted their chests, wiped the cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, and were about to look at the picture inside the courtyard wall, when an afterimage like a chain snapped on the wall, like thunder, which made their hearts tremble, and they hurriedly begged for mercy and fled at a speed countless times more terrifying than when they came.

Xu Hexian wrapped the long whip around his waist, patted it gently, looked at Xiao Zhinan on the opposite side and said: "Although it is only to the point, it is also very happy, Miss Xiao's cultivation qualifications are much stronger than mine, and I am just relying on my age to walk in front of you, maybe one day, I can only look up to Miss Xiao." ”

Xiao Zhinan's sword was finally shot down by Xu Hexian's long whip, which also made Xu Hexian's mood much better.

This is Xiao Zhinan's fourth defeat after leaving Beiyan.

Although it looks bad, who asked Xiao Zhinan to challenge cultivators who are stronger than herself, she has not faced a fiasco, it is already a kind of victory.

Being able to learn experience in battle and become stronger is Xiao Zhinan's fundamental purpose.

"The strongest reputation in the four realms of Xu Sishou is really worthy of his reputation, although he has never seen Xu Sishou's true ability, but if Zhuge Dan, who was defeated by Dean Xue outside the South City Gate, does not have such a strong physique, maybe Xu Sishou also has the strength to defeat him. ”

Zhuge Dan is a monk outside the mountain, because he plundered too many cultivators' Qi Sea Lingyuan to cross the threshold of the Five Realms, but that kind of breakthrough is different from when a normal cultivator breaks through the realm, everything is due to the evil method that can plunder the cultivator's aura, if Zhuge Dan loses this advantage, even if he is still standing in the threshold of the Five Realms, he cannot be compared with the real Five Realms powerhouse, and it is also a very common thing to be killed by Xu Hexian.

At that time, what Xu Hexian was afraid of was the identity of Zhuge Dan's monks outside the mountain, the monks outside the mountain were truly invincible in the same realm, and the method of plundering the sea of qi could also give them the opportunity to defeat the strong people in the higher realm, but if they put aside the plundering method and strong physique, and purely divided by realm and strength, Xu Hexian did not need to be afraid of Zhuge Dan.

However, in other words, if it weren't for the fact that it was a powerful existence like Xue Wangwu, far surpassing Zhuge Dan, and there was no way to destroy the physical defense of the monks outside the mountain, there would be no point in talking about anything else.

Although Xiao Zhinan did not deliberately compliment, it was just because of his personality and seeking truth from facts, but these words were still very useful in Xu Hexian's ears.

In his heart, he was afraid of the monks outside the mountain in the threshold of the Five Realms, and even the monks outside the mountains who were also at the peak of the Four Realms, but of course he didn't want to admit it, the monks outside the mountains only used evil spells to make themselves strong, if they were on the same level, in fact, the monks outside the mountains were very vulnerable.

Xu Hexian did not stay here for a long time, and a simple fight with Xiao Zhinan was an unexpected thing in itself, and it was determined that Xiao Zhinan was not his enemy for at least a short time, so Xu Hexian had no intention of continuing to stay here.

Xiao Zhinan stood quietly alone in the courtyard for a while, and whispered: "There are countless strong people in this world, each of them is stronger than me, but I believe that this is only temporary, and my sword will only stand on the highest peak." ”

She immediately thought of Xu Hexian's previous question, and couldn't help frowning slightly, since Xu Hexian could know that he had appeared in the place where Yue Shiting died, then there was no reason why the people who were also there would be out of Xu Hexian's sight.

But whether it was Xu Hexian or Yue Shiting, they had nothing to do with Xiao Zhinan, and she didn't bother to think about the problems here, but she just felt that Li Mengzhou, who was also wearing a cat-face mask who also appeared there at that time, was very problematic.

Xiao Zhinan's back as he walked towards the room suddenly paused, hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard, and gradually walked away under the vast light rain shrouded in the night.

......

Saying goodbye to the fourth senior brother at the South City Gate, Li Mengzhou returned to Chaosi Lane, and Gu Shiyan sat on the rattan chair under the eaves.

"Aren't you already asleep?"

"When Xie Chunfeng and Ning Haoran appeared in Chaosi Lane, I noticed that the moment they started, their breath flowed violently, and the aura of heaven and earth covered the entire small courtyard, where could I still sleep. ”

Gu Shiyan asked with some curiosity, "Who won?"

Li Mengzhou said: "Of course, it's the fourth senior brother of my family, this is an undoubted thing. ”

Gu Shiyan said: "The fourth gentleman of the Palace Sword Academy is really strong, although he lost to Xiao Zhinan in the Wanli Plain, but in addition to those top demons in the world, the fourth sword of the Palace Sword Academy is the strongest existence. ”

Li Mengzhou said proudly: "The fourth senior brother is the face of the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, even if he is not the strongest in the Imperial Palace, but his reputation outside is the loudest, which one of the Four Realms Sect does not directly change his face when he hears the name of the Fourth Senior Brother?"

He gradually had a stronger sense of belonging to the Leaving Palace Sword Academy, even if Ning Haoran's affairs had nothing to do with him, he also subconsciously began to respect the prestige of the fourth senior brother.

It is a very good atmosphere in the palace sword courtyard, the senior brothers and sisters and teachers are very good, and the capital is the place he yearns for, so it is also rare and cherishable to find peace of mind in the capital.

Gu Shiyan said: "Xie Chunfeng came to Chaosi Lane to find you, which means that his attitude will play a very key role, even if because of the appearance of Mr. Fourth in the palace, Xie Chunfeng was not allowed to go directly to the prison of Xuanzheng Division to see Lu Changge, but this only gave you a moment to think, now Xie Chunfeng must have gone to Xuanzheng Division, whether Lu Changge is dead or alive will be decided tonight." ”

Li Mengzhou, with the identity of Qingjiu of the Heavenly Academy, can come and go to the prison of Xuanzheng Secretary freely, so that he can contact Lu Changge, but if he swaggers in like this, and then Lu Changge dies in prison, it is a little too stupid.

After finally removing myself, how can there be a reason to jump back in?

Even if he didn't completely remove the incident of Zhu Zaitian's murder, it was obviously not suitable for any more extraneous branches.

And if he watched Xie Chunfeng rescue Lu Changge, Li Mengzhou was a little unwilling.

After all, he was still a little uneasy about Xie Chunfeng's attitude, especially when he thought that Xie Chunfeng might have deeper suspicions about him.

Even if he thinks too much, under Xie Chunfeng's attitude, Lu Changge will not be executed, which is still not what Li Mengzhou wants.

As long as the hidden dangers still exist, it is very difficult for people to sleep.

Lu Changge must die, and the key to the problem is how to kill Lu Changge reasonably, so that he will not be directly involved in himself.

Maybe at this time, the killer Fusheng will officially appear in the capital.

Li Mengzhou looked up at the night, it was close to three quarters of the ugly hour, and there were only a few hours before sunrise, and before the light came, darkness would surely cover the world.
