Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Sound of a Sword in the Scabbard

The peach blossom source at night is quiet, the fragrance is wafting, the stream is murmuring, there are fish jumping to the sky, trying to get close to the bright stars, kissing beautifully, but no one succeeds, but is firmly grasped by a pair of big hands, and roasted on the fire.

Li Mengzhou methodically did the work of grilling fish, and inadvertently stifled the great dreams of these fish.

It's just a pity that Li Mengzhou has no condiments, and the taste will be much worse.

But when you're hungry, any food becomes a human delicacy.

Although there is no condiment, the small fish are roasted on the fire, and the grease is oozing and dripping in the fire, crackling, and it is very greedy just for the appearance.

Li Mengzhou handed a small fish to Xiao Zhinan, and before roasting, he broke off a few slender peach branches and pierced the intestines of the disemboweling little fish.

Xiao Zhinan silently ate the fish, "It tastes good." ”

Li Mengzhou smiled: "That's good." ”

Without alcohol, eating fish is less meaningful, so both of them eat quickly and do not stop until they feel slightly full.

Li Mengzhou leaned his back against the peach tree, patted his stomach, and said: "I came out this time to break through the realm, but I didn't expect to meet you on the first day I arrived here, and I also successfully broke through to the peak of the three realms. ”

After speaking, he paused slightly and asked, "Are you going directly to the capital, or do you have any other plans?"

The two of them can only be regarded as meeting in Pingshui, because of fate, Li Mengzhou certainly doesn't expect Xiao Zhinan to accompany him here.

Xiao Zhinan frowned slightly, thinking that the Panlong Banquet had not started yet, and the demons in the capital like Shen Qiubai might not necessarily appear too early, even if she wanted to go to the capital, the only thing she could go to was the Palace Sword Courtyard.

She had only fought with Ning Haoran, but there were still some people in the Sword Courtyard of the Palace who were worthy of her challenge.

Except for the chief, it is the third gentleman in the Sword Academy.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhinan looked at Li Mengzhou sideways and asked, "Is your third senior sister strong?"

Li Mengzhou thought about it very seriously and said: "I really don't know about this, because I haven't seen the third senior sister out of the sword, she only writes every day, and she never walks out of the mountain gate, I think it should be about the same as the strength of the fourth senior brother." ”

For the third senior sister, Li Mengzhou really doesn't know much, how do you know whether she is strong or not, but since she is a gentleman in the Sword Academy, she must not be weak.

And he thought that the third senior sister's obsession with calligraphy should not be very good at fighting, but it was conservatively estimated that it should be comparable to the fourth senior brother, as for whether it was stronger or weaker, he didn't have an accurate understanding.

But for Xiao Zhinan, who was relatively familiar with Ning Haoran's strength, when he heard these words, he also began to lose interest in the third gentleman of the Sword Academy.

She had already fought against the Beizang Feng in the Wanli Plain and the academy, and the only ones left were Shen Qiubai and Ouyang Shengxue, these three people were the proud sons of the sky with a great reputation in Jiang Country, and they wanted to challenge the strong, but of course they still had to choose the strongest ones.

Li Mengzhou looked at Xiao Zhinan quietly, thinking that he had just broken through the realm, and he was lucky enough to meet such a strong man, wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't take advantage of it?

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up, looked at Xiao Zhinan condescendingly, and said: "I broke the realm because of you, then you are my fate, and you ate my grilled fish, you should be responsible to the end and help me stabilize the realm." ”

He thought that he was just practicing alone, so it was better to conduct a real battle and rely on learning from Xiao Zhinan to lay the foundation.

Xiao Zhinan first looked up at Li Mengzhou with some blankness, and after understanding the meaning of his words, he sneered: "You want to fight me?"

Li Mengzhou said very seriously: "I know that I am not your opponent, but fighting with the strong, I can know my limits better, and I can also find out my own shortcomings, I am very sincere in inviting you, and I hope you don't refuse me." ”

Xiao Zhinan also stood up and said, "You are too weak, once my sword is unsheathed, it is likely to kill you, my sword is for killing, not to help others cultivate." ”

Li Mengzhou said maliciously: "Then you spit out the fish you just ate." ”

Xiao Zhinan was silent for a moment.

Then he turned around and put his finger in his mouth, and he really wanted to spit it out.

Li Mengzhou said embarrassedly: "You're too much!"

Xiao Zhinan's movements paused, turned to look at him, and said, "I'm just following your wishes, if you don't want to, then forget it." ”

Li Mengzhou didn't expect Xiao Zhinan to have such a bad taste, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

But since he had this kind of thought, he was not a person who could give up easily, and soon said: "If you are worried that you will accidentally kill me, just don't use your sword, you can take the scabbard and fight me, and suppress the realm at the stage of entering the four realms." ”

Xiao Zhinan felt that the dark-skinned young man in front of him kicked his nose a little.

Is it because he seemed to be able to speak better before, so he dared to be so aggressive?

She wanted to refuse again and give him a little color, but after thinking about it, it would be understandable if she 'accidentally' made a heavy hand in the competition, right?

She thought that the other party had to make a move herself, so she couldn't blame herself for beating someone seriously if she was 'accidental'.

So a bright smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she said, "Although the sword and the scabbard are inseparable, there is some truth in what you said, and I agree." ”

For a true cultivator, it doesn't make a difference whether he has a sword in his hand or not, because it is an extremely sharp sword in itself.

She squinted her eyes slightly, since the first time she picked up the sword, no one had said so casually that she wanted to use her to stabilize the realm, even on the Wanli Plain, those cultivators from Jiang Guo were also treated with a very cautious attitude, that was always preparing for a life-and-death battle, even if Ning Haoran took the initiative to mention that he wanted to fight with her, but in terms of attitude, there was a big difference from Li Mengzhou at this moment.

Because Li Mengzhou had no fear of her, and put on an attitude that seemed to be forceful to ask her to agree, this was still very interesting when Li Mengzhou knew very well who she was.

Li Mengzhou shook his head at this time, and said very seriously again: "I can't beat you." ”

Xiao Zhinan continued to smile and said, "I know. ”

Li Mengzhou said again: "But I still have to fight you." ”

Xiao Zhinan smiled: "I know. ”

Li Mengzhou said calmly: "Maybe in your opinion, this is a very stupid thing, but it is my truest thought." ”

Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "I know. ”

Li Mengzhou doesn't like to talk nonsense, but he is a little nervous.

Xiao Zhinan obviously knew this, so her answer was the same.

Although the attitude in front was very tough, and he looked entangled, but in the face of Beiyan's young sword cultivator standing in the highest position, it was only normal to be nervous.

Li Mengzhou took a deep breath and said, "Please." ”

The dark green sword was unsheathed, and a sword roar sounded in the night sky.

The last flower sword in Xiao Zhinan's hand burst out with a dazzling light, turned into a little crumb, and escaped into the gate of the sea of qi.

She held the scabbard in her right hand, and her breath gradually weakened, until it was at the bottom of the four realms, and it stopped very steadily.

Although the realm has been suppressed, the aura emanating from Xiao Zhinan's body still gives Li Mengzhou a feeling of palpitations.

Sure enough, even if the strong deliberately become weaker, they are still strong.

Even though she was holding an empty scabbard in her hand, the continuous sound of the sword seemed to tell the world that there was a sword in the scabbard, but your realm was too low to see.

Li Mengzhou took the initiative to cut out the first sword.

The thirty-mile peach blossom paradise that had returned to calm was swept away by a hurricane again. The tiny petals that had been chopped by Xiao Zhinan floated in the air in the tremor.

The originally soft petal leaves suddenly became tough and straight at a certain moment, and the aura between heaven and earth converged, and the sword intent covered every peach petal, and the light soared.

Li Mengzhou's body also gradually faded in countless peach petals.

But Xiao Zhinan's gaze was through those peach petals, directly on Li Mengzhou's body, and suddenly raised his hand, and a sword sound sounded in the scabbard, and in a short moment of calm, the night sky resounded with a crackling and crisp sound.

Countless peach petals suspended in mid-air burst one after another, turning into powder.

Li Mengzhou's body trembled, and a trace of paleness appeared on his face.

Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "Your first sword, I have broken it, can you see it clearly?"

Li Mengzhou nodded and slashed out the second sword.

The hurricane that swept through the Peach Blossom Garden was a few points thicker.

There were no clouds in the night sky.

But clouds were born out of thin air.

The brilliance of the stars became a little dim.

Countless peach trees are swaying.

The peach petals were blown off and flew into the night sky.

The sword intent is stronger.

Those peach petals exuded an icy chill, and then stood still in mid-air, and then fell like a meteor, aiming directly at Xiao Zhinan, covering in all directions, and there was no way to avoid it.

Xiao Zhinan looked up at this picture and was silent.

The scabbard in his hand slowly pointed towards the night sky.

A sword roared softly.

The peach petals that fell straight suddenly changed their trend very close to Xiao Zhinan, roared up in the trembling, and returned to the night sky, as if turning into stars, until they were no longer visible to the naked eye, and then burst into a very high place, as brilliant as fireworks.

Li Mengzhou's face turned a little paler.

He opened his mouth with some surprise and said, "Obviously, you have suppressed the realm to the stage of entering the first four realms, why are you still so strong?!"

Xiao Zhinan said proudly: "Because I am very strong myself, even if I suppress the realm, the monks who have just entered the four realms will not be able to get close to me by half a step, and I can crush them to death with a raise of my hand." ”

Li Mengzhou thought that this was really unfair.

Xiao Zhinan's realm was originally higher than the lower grade of the Four Realms, and deliberately suppressing the realm could not change her momentum, and she was also the strongest among the cultivators who had just entered the Four Realms stage, and even approached the upper realm infinitely.

Perhaps by suppressing the realm to the stage of the three realms, Xiao Zhinan's strength can be equal to that of the monks who have just entered the four realms.

Li Mengzhou did not cheekily propose to let Xiao Zhinan continue to lower the realm, but decisively slashed out the third sword.

At the same time, Li Mengzhou's feet shifted, and he was wrapped in peach petals and quickly approached Xiao Zhinan.

The cold sword intent was poured into the three-foot land.

The flying peach petals were torn apart by the sword intent.

Between three feet, clean and tidy.

Three feet away, peach petals and countless dust rolled wildly.

The black green sword slashed towards Xiao Zhinan.

As the sword fell, the three-foot land seemed to be separated from heaven and earth, and between the three feet was another world.

When the sword edge approached and there was only half a foot away, the scabbard in Xiao Zhinan's hand moved again.

The sound of a sword resounding from the scabbard.

The smoke and dust three feet away were wrapped in peach petals and danced wildly, but at the moment when the sword roared, the hurricane was abrupt, like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and the heavens and the earth instantly fell silent.

The scabbard rested against Li Mengzhou's eyebrows.

However, the black green sword he had slashed was no longer in his hand, and a parabola was slashed through mid-air and smashed heavily on the bank of the stream.

Xiao Zhinan understated.

Li Mengzhou suffered a fiasco!
