Chapter 2 and 3 Confrontation on the Cliff
The challenge is just three days away.
The time is tight, and it doesn't seem that Xiao Yan has any arrangements at all.
Xiao Yan didn't have any arrangements, she did what she wanted, after receiving the life and death post, she was very calm, and after returning from King Shen, she was also very calm. She decided to take the post of life and death, so the only thing to do in the future was to fight with a calm and steady mentality, in her best state, and that's it.
King Shen gave her a detailed information about King Wu, recording his exercises and martial arts skills. Xiao Yan looked at it carefully and remembered it in his heart, but he didn't think that this was all about King Wu. The information on the paper is dead, and the on-the-spot response is important, not to mention that everyone has their own hole cards.
Her routine for the past three days is still normal, starting when she should start, resting when she should rest, painting when she should paint, carving stones when she should carve stones, and she is completely unaffected by the challenge of life and death, nor is she at all affected by the hidden conspiracy of this challenge. Her thoughts were simple and to the point: no life, nothing.
Xiao Yan has been quiet for the past three days, but she has lived happily because A-Niang is with her.
After Li Yixun arranged a qiΔ, he took three maids and a parrot to live in his daughter's school, of course, this is not in accordance with the rules, but the rules are set by people, King Shen and King Huo did not object to the two sacrificial wines, how can the people next to them have opinions, and Li Yixun will not care if they have opinions. She and her daughter have been together for the past three days and have hardly been separated.
When Xiao Yan meditated, she was quietly reading a book on the side, or quietly looking at her daughter, and then the mother and daughter painted together, carved stones together, walked in the elm forest together, played the piano together under the porch, laughed and fed the birds together, and listened to the parrot croaking "Beauty!" Beauty! No matter how Xiao Yan coerced and seduced, the parrot insisted, "The master is the most beautiful!" The most beautiful hosts! Xiao Yan laughed and touched its head, "It's really a good bird." I also think A-Niang is the most beautiful. "Life is so beautiful, and so are the people in the world.
Because of Li Yixun's arrival, the small kitchen that had been idle in the school building was finally used. Li Yixun taught his daughter to make ramen this day, not the soup cake kind of noodle soup, but a slender one, it is said to be invented by the imperial chef of Gaozong, called longevity noodles, one is nine feet long, can not be broken, the finer the drawing, the thickness is uniform, the higher the craftsmanship. This doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for Xiao Yan, her arms are strong, and every bit of strength is very fine, and she succeeds in trying it once. "Haha, I'm a genius." She smirked. Li Yixun smiled and kissed her forehead, "Baoshu, I hope you live and live a long life." The other qiΔ, conspiracy, and conspiracy are not important. β
"Auntie, I will live." Xiao Yan smiled and hugged her.
The mother and daughter seem to foresee that after these three days, they may not see each other for a long time, cherish this time together, and quietly enjoy this plain, but eternal warmth.
Li Yixun was vaguely uneasy, always feeling that something would happen in the decisive battle.
But she didn't want to disturb her daughter's heart with anything, and only calmness and gentleness were visible to the outside.
β¦β¦
Three days passed quickly.
The place of the decisive battle is in the Qinling Mountains, which is a large ridge that runs through the middle of the empire, and was named because it is the ridge of the Qin land in ancient times, but the Tang people like to call it Huaxia Ridge, because Hua is beautiful, and Xia is grand, which is a beautiful and grand ridge. On this beautiful and grand ridge, there are countless peaks, mountains and ridges are continuous, countless rivers and canyons, Taibai Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Huashan Mountain, these famous mountains belong to the Qinling Mountains, the vitality of heaven and earth is very strong, it is very suitable for the cultivation of martial artists, and there are martial artists, martial arts are indispensable, especially the lofty mountains and deep river canyons because of the inaccessibility, but also become the place where the warriors compete. The decisive battle place of King Wu about Xiao Yan is a deep river canyon, named Heijiaoyu, which is said to be named after the black Jiao in the river in this canyon.
There are certainly no black dragons in the river now, but the river is turbulent, and the cliffs on both sides are like knives, very steep and steep, but there are two paths carved into the mountain wall. This is a fast post road, when there is an emergency military situation, or there is an urgent report, or the imperial court has an urgent order to issue, this kind of road is taken, which is much faster than the official road around the mountains and mountains. These in the precipitous area of the fast post road and the contribution of the martial arts, because the Tang Dynasty is martial, there are more and more martial arts practitioners, it is inevitable to fight, the fusion realm below is good, the destructive power is not so great, once into the extreme realm, a battle is a disaster, so the empire prohibits the use of force in the city, and has a special martial arts arena, but can't help the master to fight in it, just repair it will cost labor and money, and then the imperial court ordered to build a martial arts arena in the mountains, and specially built in the place where the road needs to be opened. When the mountains and cliffs were almost cut, this martial arts arena was canceled, and the Ministry of Industry came to open the way. The fast post road in Heijiaoyu has not yet reached the Cheng dΓΉ approved by the Ministry of Industry, because the road on the cliff is like a sheep's intestine, and people can only lead the horse to go, and they can't gallop the horse, and they have to be used by the warrior.
β¦β¦ Therefore, the decisive battle between King Wu and Xiao Yan was to contribute to the Ministry of Industry of the Empire.
I don't know why, in this tense and solemn atmosphere before the decisive battle, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of this, and then she felt very funny, and she laughed.
Of course, the martial arts decisive battle will not consider such a boring thing as opening the way, King Wu chose here because it is suitable here, Xiao Yan's smile is very hateful in his eyes, this is obviously a confident and contemptuous smile in victory, contempt is for him.
King Wu was furious, and the flames burst into flames.
But the more angry he became, the calmer he became, but the flames burning in his chest had already scorched to the palms of his palms, burning in the cold of calmness.
The two of them faced each other across the wide canyon, standing steadily on the steep and sloping stone cliff, their eyes looking at each other, both of them were steady and resolute in battle.
β¦β¦
Above, at the top of a rugged canyon, separated by a valley more than fifty zhang wide, there are six people opposite.
Xiao Chi and Xiao Liang each stood on one side of the canyon, this was to watch the battle more conveniently, and it was also to monitor and guard against each other's innateness.
The other four congenitals are also two people each standing against the cliff.
King Shen wore a scribe's robe and stood on the cliff on Xiao Chi's side, that is, above the canyon where Xiao Yan stood, on the craggy mountain rock more than ten zhang away on his right, there was an old man with a face of more than fifty years, wearing a dark blue robe, wearing a silver crown, and three locks of long beard looked clear. But the relationship between these two former and former priests does not seem to be close, or maybe they were once close but now they are estranged, and the two stand far away with their hands, and they have no intention of talking.
King Huo was wearing a fiery red robe, standing on the cliff opposite King Shen, more than ten zhang away on his left hand, he was also an old man who looked like a fifty-year-old, wearing a brown robe, wearing a pitch-black crown, and a cold face, it was King Wu's master, King Su Li Shiyi.
Xiao Chi sneered when he saw him, and squinted at the wine gourd, "The old guy who can't fly with broken wings all his life will play some intrigues with broken wings." β
Of course, King Su's two arms were there, but Xiao Chi ridiculed him for folding his wings, obviously aimed at his name of "Shiyi", and it was also a deeper mockery, and the innate masters on both sides knew what she was mocking. King Su's face was even colder, "Whether the old man folds his wings doesn't need to be concerned about you junior, but Datang can't allow you to act arbitrarily and fold its high-flying wings." β
King Su is one hundred and seventy-eight years old this year, one Jiazi older than Xiao Chi, although she is also congenital, but it is not an exaggeration to call her a junior in terms of age.
Xiao Chi didn't have a half-respectful attitude towards him.
She looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha! A clear and wanton laugh resounded up and down the canyon, and that kind of contempt and disdain leaked out of her bones, "To put it in a high-sounding way, it's actually just a bunch of old decay!" A coward with half a foot in the coffin! β
King Su's face turned pale.
King Zheng suddenly shouted: "Don't say more! He looked at the other side with a calm gaze, as if looking far away, and after the sound of the break, his voice was very calm, as if the bottom of a lake without waves after a strong wind, "We have opposing ideas, no one can convince anyone, and it is useless to fight between words." Don't affect the juniors below. β
Xiao Chi raised his eyebrows, full of wantonness, "I always like to speak with facts, and I don't like to fight over words, but some people are rotten and unsmoking, let's do it, I'm worried that I will break people, I have already broken my wings, and it will not be miserable to break people again, so I have to use words as whips, whipping and whipping." β
Huo Wang tried to keep his face tight, because he really wanted to laugh, Xiao Er, this woman was so romantic that she had no discipline, but her kung fu in the verbal battle was really powerful, which made him listen to it very pleasantly - this is a group of old and decrepit guys, and they still block the way and prevent others from advancing, he has long been holding back the fire in his belly, but he is an elder of the same sect, even if he is opposed, he can't scold him in person, Xiao Er's words are good whip.
King Su was so contemptuous and humiliated by a junior, no matter how good he was, he was angry, and the rock under his feet suddenly rose with white frost, and the cold air spread, and in an instant the rock cracked fine lines, but it was not cold and cracked, but it was a kind of scorching fierceness and cracking, and the air around him became slightly distorted because of this scorching.
"Xiao Chi, if you want to do it, the old man will accompany you." His voice was extremely cold and intense, as if it was a flame wrapped in ice, burning in the cold.
Xiao Chi raised his eyebrows lightly, "Come on." β
Her demeanor was contemptuous, disdainful, and rebellious, as if to say: You old man, you have the courage to come and fight.
The cold air around King Su is even colder, the fierceness is even hotter, and the air is so distorted that he is about to make a move......
was stopped by King Zheng's calm voice like a cold lake, "Don't be fooled. β
King Su suddenly calmed down, now is the time for his apprentice to fight a decisive battle with Xiao Seventeen, if he starts a war with Xiao Chi, who knows if Xiao Chi will be "accidentally" affected by the cliff and destroy the decisive battle, it will ruin their plan. After all, King Su has lived for more than 170 years, and he has a deep sense of qi cultivation, although he is temporarily provoked, he is sober and calm. Immediately snorted coldly, the surrounding air calmed down, and he looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, making up his mind that no matter how much Xiao Chi flirted, he would only be the wind in his ears.
Xiao Chi snorted lightly, raised the gourd and took a sip of wine, secretly saying that it was a pity in his heart.
β¦β¦
Below, the two confronting each other on the cliff face were unaffected by the dialogue at the top of the valley.
Their qi locks onto each other, preoccupied, looking for the best time to strike, and nothing around them can affect them.
Suddenly, the wind rose in the valley, the branches and leaves of the pine trees in the cliff creek moved slightly, and King Wu suddenly rose up, slashed out, and slashed at Xiao Yan.
King Wu's knife is not a narrow and straight horizontal knife, a wide blade, very domineering, the head of the knife is like a half moon, the knife surface is like cold snow, and the cold air of the forest is felt from afar, but the flame pattern is engraved all over the knife body, and it feels like the flame in the cold snow, which is very special.
King Wu's knife is also very special, the flame seems to be alive, blazing, the sword is cold and wrapped in a scorching gas, just like the flame in the ice, called the ice fireworks. Wu Wangxiu's technique is the Ice Flame Technique, once it is hit by his sword qi and invades the meridians, it is the two heavens of ice and fire, the extreme cold, and the extreme burning, in the torment of ice and fire, it is difficult to contain.
With this sword, there was a light in the air with flames in the snow.
The wind in the canyon suddenly became furious, crashing against the cliff wall with a terrifying roar.
Across the river water of more than 50 zhang, because of this sword light, the turbulent river suddenly swayed a huge wave 20 zhang high, like a dragon, roaring.
What a knife move.
It is more than ten times stronger than the ordinary Ascending Realm Consummation.
The knife started from fifty zhang away, but it came instantly, as if drawing the knife, drawing the knife, and cutting the knife was an action.
Xiao Chi, Xiao Liang, King Shen, and King Huo all stared at each other, King Wu's combat power was much stronger than in the intelligence, both the internal strength cultivation and the martial arts realm were three points higher than the original estimate, correspondingly, the original estimate of Xiao Yan's advantage was much lower, and the strength of the two was very close.
The hearts of the four of them sank, the closer their strength is, the more they can't keep their hands, this must be a life and death situation.
