The sword in Wu Daozi's hand is very simple, just like an ordinary iron sword that can be seen everywhere, Li Mengzhou conservatively estimates that it should cost less than five taels of silver.

Swords have always been very expensive, or because iron itself is not cheap, and the price of stronger materials will naturally increase several times, so even ordinary iron swords are a few taels of silver, and it is impossible to be cheaper.

Because Wu Daozi is not a sword cultivator, he doesn't have to be too harsh on swords, as long as they are easy to use.

Li Mengzhou made a sword salute very seriously, and the dark blue sword shadow immediately slashed towards Wu Daozi.

Before the battle, Li Mengzhou could maintain the proper etiquette to his seniors, but after the battle began, only his opponent was left in his eyes.

The grass dances on the sword.

The breeze blows and plays music.

The leaves beat excitedly.

However, the battle of the practitioner is not a fairy tale, and all good things will eventually be broken.

The blade of the sword slashed through the grass.

The breeze turned into a violent whirlwind.

The trees trembled in fear and swayed from side to side.

Li Mengzhou's sword intent is very domineering, perhaps because he devoured the three swords on the sword cliff, the sword cultivation in the same realm will basically be suppressed by this sword intent, even if the opponent is not a sword cultivator, if he does not have absolute strength, there is no way to offset this sword intent.

He naturally didn't think about killing Wu Daozi, and there was no way to do this sword intent, in his perception, Wu Daozi's cultivation was definitely not in the Three Realms.

As it turns out, it is.

In the face of Li Mengzhou's indomitable sword intent, Wu Daozi's expression was very calm.

He clenched the sword in his hand, and the whole person was in the storm of sword intent, the gray robe hunted and fluttered backwards, although the gray hair was not too exaggerated due to age, but it was not luxuriant.

The sword is unsheathed.

The chant of the sword is transmitted in all directions.

A new storm formed on the flat ground, with Wu Daozi as the center, constantly bombarding the sword intent of Li Mengzhou that wrapped him.

Li Mengzhou was secretly surprised.

Although in his cognition, he never thought that Wu Daozi would be weak, but seeing the strength of the other party with his own eyes still shocked him.

But this did not dispel Li Mengzhou's fighting spirit, but made him more excited.

All the sword skills that he could use were used by him.

The beasts in the Udon Mountains felt the terrifying aura of these two collisions, and they were alert, or hid in their nests and did not dare to raise their heads, or buried their heads in the grass and dirt pits, and those beasts moving in the mountains also scattered in terror and fled, as if the howls of ghosts resounded throughout the Udon Mountains.

The movement of the beasts rushing was very huge, rumbling like thunder.

But none of this will affect Li Mengzhou and Wu Daozi, who fought against him in the storm.

If it were just two cultivators who had inherited the artistic conception, they would naturally not have made such a big move, and the artistic conception of the inheritance was only barely enough to be a master in the world of cultivators.

But after all, the great monks of the Four Realms are already on the top of the very high mountain in the world, except for those gifted cultivation demons, every cultivator who steps into the Four Realms has spent decades or even longer, compared to this, the cultivation of the Cheng Artistic Conception is generally considered very high, but after all, it is only in the eyes of most people, and the real cultivation powerhouse can kill the Cheng Yi Cultivator with just a wave of his hand.

A genius boy who is close to the pinnacle of Chengyi and an old man who doesn't know how high the realm is, if they fight with all their might, although they will not destroy the entire Udon Mountain, it will be very easy for the Udon Mountain to cause great turmoil.

In a carriage that had left Udon Mountain and headed for the capital, the tremor of the earth could still be felt, although it had become so subtle that even ordinary people could not feel any change at all.

However, the cultivators sitting in the carriage were the weakest and were also in the Chengyi Upper Realm, and if it wasn't too far away, it would be impossible for them to ignore the storm that rolled up in the Udon Mountain.

Ye Jinyu's expression was very serious, and he forced the carriage to stop and looked back at the movement in the Udon Mountain.

It was hard for him to imagine that with Li Mengzhou's strength, he would be able to fight with Mr. Wu to such a point.

"I feel more and more that Li Mengzhou is a monster now, although it is very strange that I can't perceive how strong that Mr. Wu is, but because of this, Mr. Wu must be very strong, Li Mengzhou is just a cultivator in the upper realm, even if Mr. Wu may not be very serious, but it is terrifying enough to be able to make such a move. ”

Jiang Zihua patted his chest, he really didn't know whether he should be envious and jealous of Li Mengzhou, or happy for him, no matter what, Li Mengzhou is a disciple of the Sword Academy, he is his junior brother, the junior brother is powerful, as a senior brother, he also has a light on his face, but if he is surpassed by his junior brother, it is not a happy thing.

Because of laziness, Jiang Zi's painting has been at the peak of the artistic conception for a long time, I believe that if you want to break into the four realms, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is also a very fast thing, but it all depends on his high enough qualifications, there are too many practitioners in the world to break through the peak of the artistic conception early, but due to lack of qualifications, he can't cross the threshold in his life, even if he can cross it, he is already very old.

Jiang Zihua naturally doesn't have this kind of worry, if his qualifications are not high enough, he can't be so special in the outer courtyard, as long as he wants, he can enter the inner courtyard to practice at any time.

......

The center of the storm of sword intent.

Wu Daozi observed the inexplicable aura that lingered around him very seriously, and said with some feeling: "Maybe you are indeed a genius in cultivation, but fortunately, I didn't have the impulse to accept you as an apprentice at that time, otherwise it is likely to bury a future powerhouse in the world." ”

He knew that it was impossible to teach any excellent disciples, everyone had their own things to do, and Wu Daozi was the least good at teaching apprentices, if he was given an apprentice with high cultivation qualifications, it was likely that it would really make the genius who had the potential to reach the peak could only hover at the bottom of the peak.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have any powerful supernatural powers to teach Li Mengzhou, no matter how high the cultivation qualifications are, if he doesn't have the opportunity to come into contact with the advanced method, it will be difficult to give full play to his qualifications, but he is just a misguide.

Li Mengzhou has grown to the point where he can't believe it in a short period of time.

Whether it was the relationship between Li Mengzhou and the eldest lady of the Ye clan, Wu Daozi had reason to feel relieved for this young man, after all, he could be regarded as witnessing the rise of a genius young man.

But that doesn't mean he's going to lose.

Wu Daozi's expression quickly became serious.

He slowly raised the sword in his hand.

Then lightly swipe into the air.

The surging storm came to a moment's still, as if it were an illusion.

Then it was like a flash in the pan, and it dissipated silently.

Li Mengzhou's body was shocked.

With a muffled snort, he took a few steps backwards.

He glanced at Wu Daozi in shock for a moment, and then smiled slightly bitterly: "Mr. Wu is really good, I am not your opponent." ”

Wu Daozi put his sword back into the sheath, put his hands behind his back, and said, "I just have more experience than you, and if I were at your age, it would be impossible to win against you." ”

He thought about it seriously for a moment and said: "You don't have too many shortcomings, but a little rash, maybe it's out of your self-confidence, but sometimes it's not a bad thing, it's good to pay more attention in the future, after all, if it's a life and death battle, it's a very fatal thing." ”

Li Mengzhou knows his own problems, but to do something, there must always be an element of taking risks, maybe this style of behavior has also become a potential habit, he feels that there is no need to deliberately improve, but it is also a good thing to pay a little attention.

After all, no matter what you want to do, the premise is to live well first.

In order to be able to live a better life, it is necessary to be reckless, which is not necessarily a bad thing, nor is it cowardice.

Although he suffered a fiasco under Wu Daozi's sword, it also made Li Mengzhou more aware of how far his current strength was from a real master, and he didn't know if he could win Wu Daozi if he broke through to the peak of Cheng Yiyi, mainly because even if he had fought with Wu Daozi, he still couldn't see through the other party.

Out of this curiosity, which was almost scratchy, Li Mengzhou asked, "Mr. Wu is a Great Cultivator of the Four Realms?"

He was very sure that Wu Daozi did not break through to the Five Realms, although this did not make sense, it was just a feeling, because he had seen the real power of the Five Realms, and there was one in the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, compared to Xue Wangwu, Wu Daozi did not look like an existence that broke through the Five Realms.

Therefore, he had reason to guess that Wu Daozi was likely to be a great monk of the Four Realms, but it was not very clear at which stage.

However, Wu Daozi's answer made him feel very incredible.

"If you ask me about my current cultivation realm, to be precise, I'm just at the peak of my artistic conception. ”

Li Mengzhou was silent for a long time, thinking that Wu Daozi might be joking with him, although he didn't understand what the meaning of this joke was, but maybe in the hearts of the elders, this kind of joke was very interesting.

Even if Li Mengzhou didn't speak, Wu Daozi could know what he was thinking, shook his head slowly, and said very seriously: "I'm not joking, at least now I am indeed just the peak of my artistic conception." ”

The corners of Li Mengzhou's mouth twitched, although this matter is hard to believe, after all, when he met Wu Daozi for the first time, the pressure and feelings given to him by the other party were too deep, and in his subconscious, he never doubted the identity of Wu Daozi's strong man.

"You say now...... Could it be that Mr. Wu was not in this realm before?"

Although he felt a little stunned because of this unexpected answer, he still found something unusual in Wu Daozi's words.

Wu Daozi was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling something.

"I used to be a monk in the mountain gate, and I am also a leader in the mountain gate, and of course there is still a big gap between me and those rare demons in the world. In the world of cultivators, it is very common to fight and kill, and there is nothing surprising that two cultivation sects have a grudge over certain things, so they do not share the heavens. ”

"The mountain gate where I am also destroyed because of this, I am just lucky, I was lucky to survive, but I was also seriously injured because of this, maybe I escaped and used up my luck, the injury did not get better, although there was no worry about my life, but the realm has fallen. ”

Li Mengzhou said suddenly: "So Mr. Wu's current cultivation is only at the peak of his artistic conception, and he fell because he was seriously injured. ”

Wu Daozi nodded and said: "When the mountain gate was destroyed, my status was already second only to the sect master, although I did not break into the five realms, but I also reached the peak of the four realms, but once I fell into the realm, I fell to the level of the three realms. Because of the damage to the sea of qi, it was only after falling into the realm so much, and it was difficult to recover in this life. ”

"It is precisely because I was originally in the Four Realms, even if I only have the cultivation at the peak of the Cheng Realm now, ordinary Three Realm cultivators are far from being my opponents. So although I defeated you, but that's all, if it's really a life-and-death battle, although I won't necessarily lose, it will definitely be difficult to kill you. ”

Li Mengzhou was silent.

He never thought that Wu Daozi still had such a past, the fall was a terrible thing, especially the higher the realm, the more afraid of the torment when the realm fell, and those who were injured by the sea of qi and fell into the realm could only rely on great opportunities to break through the realm again.

But the chances in the world are so easy to encounter, and ordinary small chances don't play a role. "Mr. Wu is now the guest of the Ye clan, although the Ye clan is only a big clan in the world, but because he is rich and rivals the country, his status is very respectful, and ordinary cultivation sects can't afford to provoke him, so he never thought of taking revenge on that mountain gate?"

Wu Daozi sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled: "Revenge should be something that young people will do, because they have enough time and energy to do whatever it takes to achieve this goal." ”

"Don't say that I'm old, my mind is not here, the problem is that the mountain gate is no longer there, they can destroy my mountain gate, and a stronger mountain gate can naturally destroy his mountain gate, the wheel of cause and effect in the world is nothing more than that. ”

Li Mengzhou suddenly felt that Wu Daozi's experience was very similar to his own, but the choices of the two people were different, maybe it was really just because he was very young, and he had a lot of time to become stronger, strong enough for revenge.

But Wu Daozi is already old, and the fall makes it difficult for him to move forward, and he no longer has the goal of revenge.

Li Mengzhou looked at the scenery of Udon Mountain, the sun was already hanging on the top of the mountain, about to set, the light of the sunset shone on the earth, and the entire sky was orange-red, which was very beautiful.

He frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered something.

He really wanted to know where Ye Sangyu was buried, and the first choice for the answer was naturally to ask Ye Jinyu, but it was not necessarily necessary to ask Ye Jinyu, not to mention that the other party was not cooperative, Wu Daozi, as the guest of the Ye clan, seemed to know the answer he wanted from his mouth.

However, Wu Daozi is not clear about this matter, because Ye Sangyu's burial is very low-key, Mo said that Wu Daozi is just a guest, even though his status as a guest is very high, but even many descendants in the Ye clan are not clear, and he, a guest secretary, has no chance to contact.

Li Mengzhou was not angry, it was just that he continued to focus on Ye Jinyu.

But from Wu Daozi's words, Li Mengzhou still felt something very unusual, Ye Sangyu is undoubtedly the little princess in the Ye clan, her death, maybe not everyone in the Ye clan feels grief, but it is not so low-key to be buried, it is reasonable to hide outsiders, but the people in the clan also have to hide it, it is a little abnormal.

However, Li Mengzhou didn't think much about it, he looked at Wu Daozi and said, "How long does Mr. Wu plan to stay in the capital, I want to learn more from Mr. Wu in the future." ”

Although Wu Daozi only has the cultivation of the peak of the artistic conception due to the fall of the realm, he is definitely an invincible existence under the four realms, and Li Mengzhou thought that if he could practice with him for a period of time, it would also be of great benefit to himself.

So Li Mengzhou is still looking forward to it.

Wu Daozi looked at him silently, although he wanted to agree, but he really didn't have so much time, so he said honestly: "The reason why I followed Gongzi to the capital is because I met the divine arithmetic master Qianjizi in Fengjiang. ”

"Although Chikiko is only an alien in the Amaterasu visualization stage, he is the only divine arithmetic in the world, and he can deduce a person's very short fate. According to him, there is a hidden death in the capital, and I am the harbinger, and in short, my presence in the capital means death. ”

Li Mengzhou was very surprised, he had heard of the special abilities of the Divine Arithmetic more than once, among the aliens, the Divine Arithmetic was definitely the most pinnacle figure, even if he was a cultivator, it was difficult to grasp the fate of a certain person, unless he broke through to the peak of the Five Realms, or even stronger.

But it's one thing to hear, it's another to believe.

Li Mengzhou has never believed in fate, and of course he will not believe in any divine arithmetic.

But regardless of whether the prophecy of the divine arithmetic was true or false, Wu Daozi still came to the capital after all.

He remained calm and said, "Did Mr. Wu ever believe it? If he did, Mr. Wu would not have come to the capital." ”

Wu Daozi's answer was beyond his expectations.

"I believe it. ”

Li Mengzhou didn't understand.

Wu Daozi said leisurely: "Since the reputation of the divine arithmetic is widely known, he will not be a charlatan, otherwise he can deceive all the people in the world, and it can also prove that he does have extraordinary abilities, even though there are many fools in the world, but not that the whole world is a fool." ”

"So I chose to believe, but it was because I believed that I came to the capital, and I wanted to find out how I could have died in the capital. ”

Li Mengzhou was stunned and said: "Just because I want to understand this, Mr. Wu has to put himself in danger?" Although I don't believe in any divine arithmetic, as Mr. said, everyone in the world believes in it, and there must be something credible, but I always feel that this is still a little too ridiculous. ”

He knew very well that if the divine arithmetic was just a liar, he would have been beaten to death a long time ago, and since he was alive and well, it showed that he did have some ability, but just because of this, it was still a little unrealistic to believe everything he said unconditionally.

Wu Daozi said: "Many facts have proved that what the divine arithmetic Qianjizi said will not be false, although it will not be completely accurate, but it is always the closest to the truth. ”

"Originally, I was also skeptical, but after I came to the capital, I also personally felt the inexplicable obscurity between heaven and earth, and it reminded me of a person, if there is a person in the world who wants to kill me the most, it can only be him. ”

"Although I haven't seen him in years, if he were still alive, he wouldn't give up the idea of killing me, and perhaps he has already come to the capital. And he must have become strong, strong enough to kill me, or he wouldn't have shown up easily, as he had been in all those years when he had disappeared. ”

Although he was talking about his life and death, Wu Daozi was very calm, as if he was talking about an inconsequential matter.

Li Mengzhou looked at him silently, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he said very seriously: "How can I help you?"

Wu Daozi said with a smile: "Accompany me to drink and paint, and then wait for him to come." ”
