Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Sword Drawer
In the lush green hills outside Baihong Town, although there is a scorching sun, there is a sense of coolness spreading.
Jian Shuxuan, who was holding a sword, stood on top of a boulder, his eyes slightly closed.
Let the breeze blow, the bluebird landed on his head, pecked a few times, and then flew away.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
As far as the eye can see.
It was Xiao Zhinan, who was holding the sword, who came slowly.
Jian Shuxuan frowned slightly, and said softly: "Mr. Seven of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, dare to kill people in the Xuanzheng Division, but he doesn't dare to fight, but instead let Miss Xiao come, what do you mean?"
Xiao Zhinan was looking at Jian Shuxuan.
Jian Shuxuan is already at the age of a weak crown, although he has a sense of youth, but the indifferent aura on his body also reveals a sense of maturity, which can be regarded as a state of growing up at the beginning of his youth.
Just by a glance, Xiao Zhinan became a little interested, and the last flower sword in her hand trembled slightly, which was a precursor to wanting to break out of the sheath.
"I challenged Shen Qiubai and Ouyang Shengxue in the capital, but I didn't realize your existence, but you are much stronger than I imagined, and that guy Li Mengzhou finally didn't disappoint me. ”
Although Li Mengzhou was seriously injured at that time, and he was carried back, and he also described Jian Shuxuan's strength, Xiao Zhinan probably had a vague impression in her heart, but because she had never heard of the name Jian Shuxuan, she was still a little unconvinced, maybe Li Mengzhou would be so badly injured, not because Jian Shuxuan was strong, but because Li Mengzhou was weak?
Whether Li Mengzhou is really weak or not, Xiao Zhinan doesn't want to pay attention to it, but now she knows very well that Jian Shuxuan is indeed very strong, even stronger than Li Mengzhou described to her.
Jian Shuxuan frowned tightly.
Of course he didn't really forget Xiao Zhinan, but he didn't expect Li Mengzhou to come, in addition to the matter of killing Li Mengzhou, Xiao Zhinan himself is the biggest obstacle, and the mysterious girl in Tsing Yi appeared, in fact, Jian Shuxuan did not have the possibility of success.
He just wanted to find out who the girl in Tsing Yi really was.
In addition, Jian Shuxuan was also very curious, although Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan left the capital in a team, whether Xiao Zhinan would draw his sword in order to help Li Mengzhou, and to what extent.
After all, apart from the two teaming up, Xiao Zhinan and Li Mengzhou really have nothing to do with each other.
Why did Xiao Zhinan do his best to save Li Mengzhou?
Regarding Li Mengzhou's arrival, but Xiao Zhinan came to the appointment, Jian Shuxuan was a little puzzled.
"Miss Xiao is the personal inheritance of Beiyan Langhuan Jianlu, and Li Mengzhou is the seventh gentleman of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, although you are both disciples of the Sword Gate, but one is from Jiang Guo and the other is from Beiyan, even if you have a relationship with the Sword Gate, but in fact, it is also dispensable, why did Miss Xiao come to the appointment for Li Mengzhou?"
Xiao Zhinan frowned and said: "I didn't go to the appointment for Li Mengzhou, whether he was dead or alive has nothing to do with me, the purpose of my coming here is just to make a sword, whether you win or lose when the sword falls, you can go to Li Mengzhou again." ”
Jian Shuxuan was puzzled: "Miss Xiao will not intervene in this matter?"
He also knew about Xiao Zhinan's challenge to the young and strong man in the capital, and he could understand what Xiao Zhinan meant, but Xiao Zhinan and Li Mengzhou came out of the capital together after all, and they had experienced so many things along the way, and at this time, the words were completely clear, which really made Jian Shuxuan a little confused. Xiao Zhinan didn't explain anything, but asked with some confusion: "Like Li Mengzhou's waste wood, it is actually worth chasing you to Baihong Town to kill him, which is also something that I can't understand." ”
She didn't know very well what was going on between Li Mengzhou and Jian Shuxuan, she only knew that Jian Shuxuan was from the capital, and with Jian Shuxuan's cultivation, it was too easy to kill Li Mengzhou, and the two couldn't be compared at all.
It was indeed easy for Jian Shuxuan to kill Li Mengzhou.
But there are spies from the Heavenly Council along the way, and there is no guarantee that there is no one watching in the capital, Jian Shuxuan naturally has no chance to make a move, Xu Hexian means to let him kill Li Mengzhou unknowingly, not to make everyone know.
Baihong Town is currently not under the surveillance of the Heavenly Cardinal Council's secret agents, and the possibility of people in the capital finding out about Baihong Town is also extremely small, and it is the only and best place for Jian Shuxuan to make a move, but when he was about to kill Li Mengzhou, he was hindered by a mysterious woman in Tsing Yi, which caused him to fail.
If he was just facing Li Mengzhou alone, if Jian Shuxuan wanted to kill him, it would only be a matter of an instant, but he didn't have the opportunity to seize this moment at present.
Naturally, he couldn't explain this to Xiao Zhinan, so he just jumped straight down from the boulder and said lightly: "I understand what Miss Xiao means, but I don't want to." ”
Except for the necessary battles, in fact, Jian Shuxuan really rarely used his sword, otherwise he would not be able to hide so deep in the capital.
When facing Ning Haoran in the capital.
When facing the girl in Tsing Yi who prevented him from killing Li Mengzhou.
Including Xiao Zhinan, who was standing in front of him, he felt that there was no need to draw his sword.
Because Ning Haoran wanted to intercept him and give Li Mengzhou a chance to save Gu Shiyan, no matter whether he drew his sword from Ning Haoran or not, he couldn't avoid this result, so he directly confronted Ning Haoran until dawn.
Because he clearly knew that even if he drew his sword at the girl in Tsing Yi, Li Mengzhou would have no way to kill him again, so he chose to leave directly.
And now, Li Mengzhou, who was supposed to be here for the appointment, did not appear, and the girl in Tsing Yi did not appear, Xiao Zhinan simply wanted to draw his sword, which did not mean anything to Jian Shuxuan.
But this matter is very meaningful to Xiao Zhinan.
Her purpose in walking out of Beiyan was to challenge all the young and strong people in the world, even if she had never heard of Jian Shuxuan's name, she couldn't deny that Jian Shuxuan was an opponent worthy of letting her draw her sword, so naturally she couldn't let it go easily.
There are broken mountain rocks splashing.
Smoke and dust.
The last flower sword that broke out of the sheath froze in front of Jian Shuxuan.
Xiao Zhinan said lightly: "Please draw your sword." ”
Jian Shuxuan stared at the sword in front of him, his brows furrowed deeply, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhinan, and said: "I know that you are very strong, although I did not go to watch the competition between you and the eldest gentleman of the Sword Academy of the Palace in the sword platform, but I know very well that it is difficult to easily distinguish the winner between us, so this battle is very unnecessary, it is just a pure waste of time." ”
If it weren't for how blindly confident or arrogant Jian Shuxuan was, he might think so in the eyes of ordinary people, but Xiao Zhinan, who could also perceive Jian Shuxuan's strength, would clearly understand that Jian Shuxuan was just stating a fact.
But because of this, the idea of drawing her sword was even stronger.
"Please draw your sword. ”
Xiao Zhinan said.
She is already the realm of the figurative sword intent in the Sword Gate, and as long as the sword cultivation in the Sword Gate is easy to reach this realm, only those small sword cultivators in the mountains and fields have always stagnated in the initial realm of the sword power because they can't practice the sword gate.
Because of the decay of the Sword Gate, in addition to the loss of the inheritance, there are also most sword cultivators whose sword hearts are covered with dust, and they can't open the road to the Sword Immortal at all.
But the nascent sword cultivator is expected to avoid this obstacle, in the final analysis, if Xiao Zhinan wants to draw his sword, this sword must be drawn.
Jian Shuxuan was silent.
Xiao Zhinan's attitude let him know that this battle seemed inevitable.
He looked at Bai Hongzhen and said softly: "It seems that Li Mengzhou didn't dare to go to the appointment, but had other things to do, but he really didn't take me seriously." ”
Xiao Zhinan also noticed some changes in Baihong Town, and frowned slightly.
Jian Shuxuan continued: "Miss Xiao also sensed it, there is a woman in green clothes in Baihong Town, when I wanted to kill Li Mengzhou, she was the one who came forward to stop her, although I didn't do anything with her, but it is also because I clearly understand that it is also difficult to distinguish the winner between me and her, and the killing of Li Mengzhou is destined to be impossible." ”
"Miss Xiao's sword wants to be unsheathed in the world, and if you ask me to draw my sword, you naturally look up to me, but in Baihong Town, I am not the only one who is qualified to let Miss Xiao's sword unsheathed. ”
Xiao Zhinan pondered for a moment, then said with a sneer: "Do you want me to challenge that girl, so as to give you the opportunity to kill Li Mengzhou?"
Jian Shuxuan didn't have the embarrassment of being exposed, and still said very indifferently: "I didn't expect this matter to be so difficult, although Li Mengzhou is the seventh Mr. of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, he is really weak, even if he has crossed the threshold of the Four Realms now." It's easy to kill him, but with Miss Xiao by his side, and the girl in Tsing Yi, I have to think about it. ”
"But for Miss Xiao, isn't it just as you want? Since you don't care about Li Mengzhou's life or death, and you can have a strong opponent to let you draw your sword, why not?"
Xiao Zhinan said indifferently: "If that girl is really strong, I will naturally go to challenge, but it does not prevent me from drawing my sword from you now." ”
Jian Shuxuan was silent for a moment and said, "Then draw your sword." ”
Although in his heart, this matter has no meaning and is purely a waste of time, Xiao Zhinan's attitude shows that he will not give up, it will also be a very troublesome matter, since it will be a waste of time no matter what, then try it as simple as possible.
He slowly raised his hand holding the sword.
There are wisps of aura that splash out, like a swimming snake coiling on its arm, twisting its wrist and stabbing out, and a sword qi rises wildly and rushes out.
Xiao Zhinan's expression was solemn, and he shook the sword body, when even if there was a clear light, it bloomed like a flower, and the sword intent was vast, between heaven and earth, there was a long rainbow running through the sun, like a roaring wave, rushing and raging.
Although Jian Shuxuan practiced the way of the sword, he obviously did not come into contact with the true supernatural power of the sword gate, and was still in the realm of gathering momentum, this realm was only the level of the means of sword cultivation, and it was not linked to his own cultivation realm, even if his sword realm was low, but the sword he cut out should not be underestimated.
