Chapter 127: The Sword Sharpener
Nangong Wuya, who was enjoying the flowers in the "Return of a Hundred Flowers", received a message from the family communication stone, and began to rush back anxiously. The Nangong family has three different transmission stones, which represent "reinforcements", "stay away", and the "difficulty of exterminating the clan" that Nangong Wuya received this time!
Therefore, when Nangong Wuya received the message, he was no longer in the mood to enjoy the flowers, and after saying goodbye to Tang Ji and Yan Yan in a hurry, he returned to the direction of Huazhou at full speed.
In order to return as soon as possible, Nangong Wuya chose to fly in the sky. However, the distance of the Heavenly Rank Master's flight in the sky was related to his strength, and although Nangong Wuya had used all his strength, it was still slowly falling more than twenty miles away from Huazhou City.
As soon as Nangong Wuya landed, he found a young man holding a black long sword lying in the middle of the road.
Nangong Wuya didn't have any extra curiosity at the moment, and was about to bypass the young man, when the young man on the ground suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked the sword in front of Nangong Wuya.
Nangong Wuya was stunned for a moment, didn't have time to think about what the youth meant, and walked a few steps to the side to prepare to bypass the young man's long sword. Unexpectedly, a sword qi shot out, leaving a deep sword mark on the ground in front of Nangong Wuya.
"Friend, what do you mean by this?" Nangong Wuya knew that he might not be able to pass through this place easily, so he asked.
"If you want to cross here, you must ask me about the sword in my hand. Shen Huan pretended to be unfathomable.
"Oh, do you want a sword, but I don't use a sword. Nangong Wuya sighed secretly in his heart, how could he meet a martial artist who is obsessed with martial arts here.
There are many people on the mainland who are obsessed with martial arts or art, looking for people to compete. People who are obsessed with magic try spells, and the process is relatively gentle. And those who are obsessed with martial arts, whether they use swords, knives, guns, sticks, halberds, hammers, whips, or maces, are mostly fierce and aggressive, and once they start fighting, they will either die or be injured.
"It doesn't matter if you don't use a sword, whatever you use, if it can overcome the sword in my hand, I'll let you go. Shenhuan said.
Nangong Wuya suddenly felt a headache, and said secretly in his heart: "How could I encounter such a trouble?" This kind of person attaches importance to fighting fiercely, rather than fighting.
But now, Nangong Wuya has no time to hesitate, so he has to agree. In his opinion, with his strength in the early stage of the Heavenly Rank, it would not take much effort to defeat a young man in the late stage of the Earth Rank.
"Then little brother, how are you going to compete?" Nangong Wuya asked.
"It's very simple, free to fight without any restrictions, if I lose, I will kill myself, and you can pass through this place, and if you lose, you will also kill yourself, and I will bury you. Shenhuan threw out the focus of his trip.
The strategy was clumsy, but it worked.
Nangong Wuya was a little hesitant in his heart, a late stage of the earth level actually wanted to make a life and death contract with him in the early stage of the heaven level, if it wasn't for this young man's madness, it would be ......
Before Nangong Wuya could think about it, a familiar voice interrupted his train of thought.
"Brother Nangong, we can be regarded as catching up with you. Why are you staying here?"
It turned out that Tang Ji and Yan Yan were not worried about Nangong Wuya's situation, and after Nangong Wuya left, they also followed. However, the two of them couldn't fly in the air, and their speed was slower, so they caught up with Nangong Wuya.
"Brother Tang, Brother Yan, the reason why I stayed here is because this young man wants to gamble with me. Nangong Wuya talked in detail about Shenhuan's life-and-death gamble with him, and Tang and Yan were dumbfounded when they heard it.
"Young man, with the strength of the late stage of the earth level, if you want to fight with the early stage of the heaven and death bet, I'm afraid you are the first person. You are still young and have a great life, don't seek death like this......" Tang Ji said half admonishment, half joking.
"It doesn't hurt to add you. As he spoke, a sword qi shot out from the Questioning Heart Sword, the speed was not fast, and a clear sword mark was drawn on the ground, which stretched all the way to Tang Ji's body.
Speaking arrogantly, recruiting even more arrogant!
Since Shenhuan has pretended to be an arrogant madman who is not afraid of heaven and earth, he must pretend to the end. Otherwise, flaws will be exposed, and your plan will fall short.
"Haha! What a young man who doesn't know the height of the sky. Tang Ji saw that his kind advice was exchanged for Shenhuan's provocation, and he laughed angrily, "Brother Nangong, why don't you give it to me for the first time, let me see how capable this young man is!"
"Yes. Nangong Wuya nodded, and retreated dozens of zhang with Yan Bian. Although Nangong Wuya was worried about the situation in the family, since he had made a life-and-death bet with someone, he really couldn't do such a thing as quietly escaping while Tang Ji was fighting with Shenhuan.
Tang Ji saw that Nangong Wuya and the two had retreated, and immediately held on to his move, determined to give Shenhuan a powerful look.
"Water Spell - Water Moon!"
As soon as the words fell, Tang Ji reflected the water like the moon, forming an identical "Tang Ji" beside him. But this is not the end, with the further urging of Tang Jigang's anger, there are more and more "Tang Ji" in front of Shenhuan, and finally it reaches as many as twelve!
"Water Spell - Clouds Covering the Sky!"
Thick water vapor suddenly enveloped the surroundings, forming dense clouds that trapped Shenhuan and the twelve "Tang Seasons" inside, unable to see anything.
"Water Curse - Kill the Water Wheel!"
Shenhuan's ears suddenly sounded the sharp sound of countless sharp arrows breaking through the air, and Shenhuan moved the soles of his feet lightly, and his body quickly dodged the attack around him. When an attack flew against Shen Huan's cheek, Shen Huan realized that the "sharp arrows" pouring down in the fog were actually streams of water! However, this water flow was no longer as soft as usual, but with a rotating tearing force!
Nangong Wuya, who was watching the battle outside, shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Tang is also too serious, and he is a housekeeper as soon as he makes a move." The 'Water Moon', 'Cloud Covering the Sky' and 'Water Wheel Killing' in the Water Spell are a perfect match, and the combination of the three spells is far from as simple as one plus one plus one. The 'Killing of the Water Wheel' will only increase in number and speed as time goes by, and within three moments, the young man will definitely be defeated." ”
Nangong Wuyan was merciful, what he actually thought in his heart was that the young man who didn't know the height of the sky would definitely die in three moments!
The thick clouds and mist obscured his vision, and Nangong Wuya couldn't see the battle situation inside, so he could only vaguely judge that Tang Ji was becoming more and more courageous through the changes in his qi, but the young man who took the initiative to make a life-and-death contract with him seemed to be in danger, and he was clumsy.
Suddenly, the breath in the clouds suddenly exploded! But in the blink of an eye, it was retracted and calm again......
The clouds gradually dispersed......
"The fog gradually dissipated, it seems that Brother Tang has won the victory, Brother Tang's last blow is really a bit fierce, another day Brother Yan, you have to persuade him to restrain his temper. Nangong Wuya smiled at Yan Chang.
Yan Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.
When the fog completely dissipated, Nangong Wuya and Yan Chang turned their heads, but they saw an unbelievable scene!
The sword-wielding Shenhuan was still standing proudly, and Tang Ji, who was being picked up by Shenhuan's black sword, was already angry, and there were a few more bleeding wounds on his body!
"Brother Tang!" Yan became sad and shouted!
Yan Chang and Tang Ji have an excellent relationship, and for many years, the two have been inseparable, learning from each other and supporting each other. Now, I was shocked to see that Tang Ji was in danger, how could Yan Bian not be sad and angry!
Tang Ji's strength is actually not bad, "Water Moon", "Clouds Covering the Sky" and "Water Wheel Killing" are indeed very good matches, but unfortunately he met Shenhuan!
Shen Huan could still easily judge the location of the attack in the completely dark space of the dark old man, let alone in this cloud mist? Moreover, Shen Huan, who had been accustomed to dodging dense attacks as early as the ruins of Cangyun Mountain, was also at ease in the face of the "Water Wheel Killing".
Shenhuan judged Tang Ji's true body through the strength of the "Water Wheel Kill", and defeated Tang Ji who thought he was victorious with one blow. Shen Huan, who was unwilling to kill innocent people anymore, was already merciful to his subordinates, and the sword qi did not go to the fatal point, reserving a glimmer of life for Tang Ji.
"It's your turn!" Shenhuan pointed at the bridge of Nangong Wuya's nose and said coldly.
Just as Nangong Wuya was preparing to fight, a piercing sound of sharpening suddenly came from afar. Shenhuan and Nangong Wuya were attracted by this voice at the same time and turned their heads away.
A strange man with a scabbard on his back, a whetstone tied to his arm, and a long sword in his hand being polished on the millstone again and again, was walking step by step from a distance, stepping on a strange beat.
That strange person didn't seem to be much older than Shenhuan, and his aura was slightly higher than Shenhuan, which was the strength of the pinnacle of the earth level. When he reached the center point of the confrontation between Nangong Wuya and Shenhuan, he looked Shenhuan up and down, as if he was looking at a beautiful work of art.
"Friend, sharpen your sword?" the strange man asked.
"No grinding. Shen Huan said.
"Since you don't sharpen your sword, let's compare your sword!" said the man, and with a lift of the long sword in his hand, he made a starting gesture.
"What if I choose to sharpen my sword?"
"Then sharpen the sword first, and then compare the sword!"
Shenhuan knew that he was an imposter and met a genuine product, and he was not fighting, nor was he hiding.
"Since the two of them have the same hobbies, let's talk freely. The contemptible man still needs to take my friend to the doctor, so he takes his leave. Nangong Wuya was overjoyed to see that Shenhuan was entangled by the new strange person, and took the opportunity to get out on the grounds of healing Tang Ji.
That strange person kept staring at Shen Huan, and Shen Huan couldn't stop it, so he could only watch Nangong Wuya disappear at the end of his sight.
"Friend, do you want to compete with swords?" asked the strange man again.
The opportunity has been lost, and after Nangong Wuya returns to Huazhou City, such a method will no longer be applicable, with the current level of vigilance of the Nangong family, this task cannot be completed in a short period of time. Shen Huan knew this very well, and after sighing secretly, he began to think about the problem in front of him.
"I don't know what to call it?" Shen Huan hugged his fist at the strange man, which was considered a basic courtesy.
"Nameless and nameless, you can call me the Sword Sharpener. ”
"Why do you call yourself a sword grinder, and why do you always carry a grinding stone?" Shen Huan felt that this person must have a bad brain, and casually asked two questions, intending to get away while the sword grinder was thinking.
"Good question!" To Shenhuan's surprise, when the sword grinding heard these two questions, his eyes burst into a burst of strange light, "The grinding stone and the sword are more grinding, and the sword grinding is the sword grinder!"
