Chapter III
"Linghu Yurui is dead, and his family and guards are also dead, and there is not a single living mouth left in the entire palace. The Great Elder's voice rang out.
"I said a long time ago that Li Haotian's descendants should not be humiliated, and the strength of the homeland is no longer something that can be compared with the Sword Cliff. "Xia Donghai, as the only sword saint on the mainland, does not have a trace of arrogance on his body, but is deeply jealous of his homeland, this is probably the biggest joke in the mainland, at least that's what the elders think.
"Hmph, if Li Haotian is really so powerful, his empire will not be taken away by the family in the east. The second elder said disdainfully, while the third elder stayed quietly in the corner, not saying a word.
"Could it be that the hatred of a hundred years ago is really so important that it is enough to make you lose your normal heart? Today's continent is no longer what it used to be, and the status of the Holy Land of Martial Arts has long since Li Haotian was no longer transcendent. Xia Donghai sighed, as the sword saint who tried the sword cliff in Yunwu Mountain, although he ignored the world for a long time, he did not lose his wisdom.
"I think it won't be long before he will definitely come to try Sword Cliff, it seems that even if we don't want to participate in it, it's impossible!" the Great Elder's tone was full of helplessness.
"What should come will come, and since you have made a mistake, you must have the courage to take responsibility. Since Li Yuxuan came out of the Purple Bamboo Forest, who can still see his strength clearly? The Sword Saint is just a joke. ”
Looking at Xia Donghai's calm back as he turned to leave, the Great Elder seemed to see his father's demeanor again.
Yunwu Mountain, located in the middle of the Ulrika Mountains, is also a branch mountain range in the southern part of the Qinling Mountains, with an altitude of about 1,700 meters, and is the highest peak of the Ulrika Mountains. But what really makes it a well-known mountain on the mainland is not because of its height, but because of the sword cliff on the peak.
Starting with the first Sword Saint in the South, each Sword Saint has added many sacred auras to this sacred place in the hearts of the martial artists of this continent.
But today, there is a young man who did not climb this mountain with reverence, but who was directed by a hatred in his heart.
The outermost part of the Sword Cliff is a giant sword statue, marking the status of the Sword Cliff in the hearts of the warriors. Every swordsman or warrior who came here would bow down and salute when they passed by this statue, but this weather-covered and white-haired young man broke the historical convention, not only did not bow down to salute, but instead pulled out the five-foot long sword behind him and slashed the giant bluestone giant sword diagonally.
The statue fell, and the huge broken sword slammed down on the steps, and its sound was like a muffled thunder in the sky.
"Bold fanatic!" shouted the Qingyu Sword on duty as he leaped out of the palace and shouted. But when he saw that it was Li Yuxuan in front of him, he was speechless for a long time.
"Don't get in my way!" Li Yuxuan turned from the broken statue and came to the Qingyu Sword, and said lightly.
Qing Yu Jian was very clear in his heart. There is absolutely no way to stop the white-haired young man in front of him alone, but his duty is to let him go.
"Li Yuxuan, I know I can't stop you, but have you thought about it, how can you be the enemy of the Sword Cliff with your own strength, I advise you to hurry down the mountain!"
"Really? That won't be known until I'm in. Li Yuxuan's tone was full of provocation.
Qing Yu Jianqiang held back the anger in his heart, and still said in a sincere tone: "Have you ever thought that once you enter, you may never be able to go down to Cloud Mountain again. ”
"It's also possible that the entire Sword Trial Cliff has been moved to the ground!" Li Yuxuan's tone suddenly turned cold, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
Unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer, the Qing Feather Sword finally flew and withdrew its sword and rushed straight towards Li Yuxuan, and a piece of blue light was under Li Yuxuan's hood.
"The light of rice grains also dares to compete with the sun and the moon!" Li Yuxuan said in a contemptuous tone, obviously not taking the Qingyu Sword in his eyes.
The Coiling Dragon Ancient Sword in his hand was as fast as lightning and stabbed into the green feather sword in the air, if the green feather sword remained unchanged according to its original posture, it would undoubtedly become a dead soul under the Coiling Dragon Ancient Sword, because there was absolutely no sword in this world that would be more than five feet long. But Qing Yu Jian obviously expected this situation before he made a move, and his sword light in the sky was just a false move. With a light blow between the sword in his hand and the Panlong Ancient Sword, the whole person turned sideways to avoid the Panlong Ancient Sword, and the direction was still inconvenient, as if the whole person was sticking to the sword body of the Panlong Ancient Sword and slid down, but the speed was twice as fast as before.
"Bell!"
The Qing Feather Sword was shaken open, and it fell to the ground and retreated four or five steps before it stood firmly, and the sword in his hand was broken, leaving only a little more than a foot long.
"Take your finger as a sword, point to your sword!" Qing Yujian exclaimed.
Just now, Li Yuxuan used the fingers of his left hand as a sword, and the collision with the Qingyu Sword actually made a sound of gold and iron intersecting.
"Poof!"
Qing Yu Jian finally couldn't hold back a burst of blood in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
One move, just one move. Li Yuxuan seriously injured the Qingyu Sword in the "Sword Trial Cliff" in Yunwu Mountain. The "Sword Guard Test Sword Cliff" that had made countless swordsmen stunned actually blocked the opponent's move.
Qingyu Sword stayed there for a long time, and finally sighed, reversed his hand and stabbed the sword into his abdomen, which can be regarded as a stop for his life.
When the body of the Blue Feather Sword fell to the rubble of the statue, four men with various blades burst out of the main hall.
"Who dares to go to the Sword Cliff to kill people!" shouted Lightning Sword, the most grumpy of the four.
"Me!
Only then did the four of them notice the young man standing in front of them.
"You are Li Yuxuan?" shouted Lan Yujian, the only female among the four.
Li Yuxuan nodded, which was an answer.
"Why did you kill?" the Lightning Sword roared.
"Because he's damned!"
"Then you should be damned too!" The lightning sword couldn't help but want to rush forward, but the blue feather sword on the side grabbed him.
"Family master, one life is worth one life, we in Yunwu Mountain owe you something now, you can go down the mountain. ”
"What, you're letting him go down the mountain?" Lightning Sword and the other three all stared at Blue Feather Sword like monsters.
"A life is worth a life. Li Yuxuan waved his sword and pointed at the corpse of the Qingyu Sword on the ground, "He, unless Xia Donghai commits suicide in front of me today, no one will be able to take a life in front of me!" Li Yuxuan suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, and the powerful Divine Dragon Heart Trick shook the four of Lan Yujian and the others back three steps on the spot.
Such a terrifying power, with this strong internal force alone, I am afraid that the four people here will indeed not be able to stop him.
Lan Yujian and the others were all estimating the strength comparison between the two sides in the field at this moment, and finally came to the conclusion: can't be stopped!
But since he is a "sword protection sword test sword cliff", even if he knows that he can't stop it, he can only fight hard, and at most he will only die.
The four of them glanced at each other and exchanged firm beliefs in their hearts.
Just as the four of them rushed forward and fought for their lives, an old voice stopped them.
"Don't do it!"
The Great Elder's voice stopped the four Blue Feather Sword figures.
"Head of the house, please listen to the old man. "The Great Elder's appearance at this moment was obviously much older than a year ago, and even the little bit of majestic energy on his body had disappeared without a trace.
Li Yuxuan didn't speak, but instead withdrew the Panlong Ancient Sword in front of him and pointed diagonally at the ground.
"Master of the family, if I commit suicide in front of you today, can I pay the life of the old man to Miss Ruolan?"
"Great Elder!" The other four didn't expect the Great Elder to make such a suggestion, obviously wanting to use their lives to make the Sword Trial Cliff avoid this catastrophe.
Li Yuxuan still shook his head and replied lightly: "Today, I only take Xia Donghai's life is already the biggest concession. ”
The Great Elder lowered his head helplessly, and the whole person seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.
"In this case, then the old man will block the head of the family with his own strength! If he can die under the ancient sword of Panlong, the old man can be regarded as dead without regrets!"
"Great Elder, we ......" The other four obviously wanted to make a move with the Great Elder, but were interrupted by the Great Elder waving his hand.
"You guys go up but give up your life in vain, Blue Feather Sword, quickly go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion to inform the Sword Saint, I don't know how long my old bone can last!"
"This Panlong Ancient Sword was originally yours, and I will never use this sword to take your head!"
Li Yuxuan's right hand was raised horizontally, and he threw it casually, and the Panlong Ancient Sword flew slowly three or four zhang at an incredibly steady speed, and was inserted straight into the statue, without a sword entering, only a sword hilt remained.
Li Yuxuan showed such a hand, and the Great Elder's face changed significantly. Compared with more than two months ago, the young man with white hair in front of him has made his skills different from what he used to be, and he has reached the realm of transcendent sainthood.
The Great Elder once again drew the sword that had been sealed at his waist for more than thirty years, and raised his chest flat.
For thirty-seven years, he didn't touch the sword qi again, but he didn't expect that in just two months, he would use the sword twice.
When Li Yuxuan saw the Great Elder draw his sword and raise it flat, the expression on his face also changed, the original arrogance and contempt had disappeared, replaced by a kind of calm, a calm like the sea, as vast as an abyss. There was no trace of tyranny in him, and he was like the previous arrogance.
"Master of the house, do you want to take my sword moves empty-handed?"
Seeing that Li Yuxuan's hands were still empty at the moment, the Great Elder couldn't help but ask.
Li Yuxuan smiled slightly, didn't speak, stretched out the index finger and middle finger of his right hand and pointed in front of him, and a white light about two feet long shot out from between his fingers.
"Do nothing and make a sword, gather qi to become a substance!" the Great Elder muttered to himself.
Li Yuxuan smiled, his figure suddenly jumped into the air, turned upside down at a height of nearly five zhang, and stabbed down in the air towards the place where the Great Elder was standing, the momentum was amazing, and the sword qi between his fingers made him even more uncertain, like a poisonous snake.
Obviously, Li Yuxuan's attack was so sharp as soon as he made a move, forcing the Great Elder to fight hard with him, and not letting the opponent take advantage of his experienced swordsmanship and experience.
Seeing Li Yuxuan's move stabbing in the air, the Great Elder secretly admired his meticulous thinking in his heart. Forcing himself to compete with him with strong moves, and discarding the profound changes in his swordsmanship. But if you don't take this trick, you will inevitably fall into passivity.
The Great Elder gathered all his strength, waved his hand seed sword, and struck Li Yuxuan's sword with this move.
The skills of the two were extraordinary, and the strength of this all-out fight was immediately enveloped by the energy of the two of them colliding. The three lightning swords also felt that their breathing was not smooth, and they hurriedly retreated backwards to avoid being injured by the sword qi that shot in all directions.
But after all, the sword qi makes the pure internal force converge, and of course it makes it majestic to deal with ordinary masters, but in the face of a master of such a level as the Great Elder, you can see the difference between the sword qi and the solid sword weapon. Just now, Li Yuxuan's sword qi had cut off the sword of the Blue Feather Sword with one move, but now, after all, he couldn't withstand such a drastic frame and was scattered by the Great Elder.
"Good!" the three Lightning Swords couldn't help but shout, but what happened next left them puzzled.
Li Yuxuan, who had been dispersed by the sword qi, stood tall in the distance, without a trace of chagrin and frustration after being defeated. On the other hand, the Great Elder, who was still standing in place, was shaky, and his face was completely gray.
"Great Elder!" The three of them rushed to the side of the Great Elder, only to find that the Great Elder's chest was bright red, as if he had been injured by countless small hidden weapons.
"It's too despicable, you actually hurt people with a hidden weapon!" The lightning sword rushed forward as soon as he shook the giant axe in his hand, but was stopped by the Great Elder again.
"It's not a hidden weapon, it's sword qi!"
It turned out that Li Yuxuan had already expected that his sword qi was not enough to fight with the sword in the Great Elder's hand, so when the Great Elder's sword intersected with his finger sword, he used the Divine Dragon Heart Technique to disperse the sword qi by itself, turning into countless hidden weapons transformed by sword qi and shooting towards the Great Elder's chest, thus succeeding in one move. But the Great Elder was not an ordinary swordsman after all, and he was surprised by Li Yuxuan's plan, not only did he not withdraw his sword and retreat quickly, but instead turned the original defensive sword move into an offensive move, and pointed at Li Yuxuan's right hand that had been slightly frozen for a moment due to the scattering. It was also sword qi that ran through Li Yuxuan's right arm.
"It's worthy of being a great elder, but it's just that you exchanged your life for my arm, is it worth it?" asked Li Yuxuan from a distance. At this moment, the three lightning swords also noticed a large blood stain under their chest, and they were obviously not lightly injured.
The Great Elder coughed slightly, blood trickling down the corners of his mouth.
"Li Yuxuan, today you are definitely not the opponent of the Sword Saint, I think you should go down the mountain!"
In fact, there were two reasons why the Great Elder used his life to fight for Li Yuxuan's arm injury. First, he didn't want Li Yuxuan to fight with Xia Donghai, because once the two fought and Li Yuxuan was not injured, it was likely to be a lose-lose situation, and he was sorry for the previous Sword Saint who had saved his life. The second is out of guilt for Li Yuxuan, no matter what, Bai Ruolan's death is inescapable of his responsibility, if Li Yuxuan gives up fighting with Xia Donghai because of his injury, it will not be a good thing for Li Yuxuan.
But the result disappointed the Great Elder, and he failed to prevent Li Yuxuan from fighting Xia Donghai.
