Since he recognized that the bearded man was Yan Chixia, then the person who was fighting with him in the field was naturally the Xiahou swordsman who had been pestering Yan Chixia for seven years.

This person is obsessed with the name of "the first sword in the world", and has never won a battle with Yan Chixia, but he has also been defeated repeatedly, and finally died after being sucked dry by the tree demon grandma.

In the eyes of today's Li Zhi, a person like Xiahou Swordsman is not a great traitor, he has a good cultivation, but in the end, he ends up with no bones and no death.

Huh? Sad? What a pity?

When Li Zhi was sighing, the competition between the two in the field had reached a fever pitch in an instant.

With the full strength of the two of them, both of them were injured, but the Xiahou swordsman was obviously more seriously injured, and his original white clothes were stained with blood.

"Hahaha, I've been practicing penance in Northern Xinjiang for a year, am I still going to lose in your hands today?"

At this time, Xiahou Swordsman's consciousness seemed to be a little blurred, and his two eyes were actually full of red light.

"Brother Xiahou Xian, you and I are already a battle of will, why do you have to fight to the death? You need to know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, even if you completely win me, must you be the 'first sword in the world'? ”

"This little cultivation of a certain family is like the light of fireflies, and there are many people who can surpass me, but those who are superior are not willing to wander in the world."

"In the past seven years, you and I have learned six times, and a certain family also admires Xiahou Xian's kung fu and tenacity, which is not as ......good as you and me."

To tell the truth, Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman can be regarded as not knowing each other without fighting, and after they got acquainted, they continued to fight.

In Yan Chixia's eyes, Xiahou Swordsman is a slightly paranoid martial artist, and it may not be a good thing to have such a person spurring him on the side.

However, if she really wants to have a life-and-death duel with him, Yan Chixia is absolutely unwilling.

"Hmph, surnamed Yan, don't say beautiful things in front of me, you are the 'light of fireflies', so what am I Xiahou? Isn't it as good as fireflies? ”

"I don't care if there are other stronger ones, I only know that if you want to become the 'No. 1 Sword in the World', your surname Yan is the one I must defeat."

"It's okay if you want to stop, if you can take my last sword, from now on the surname Xiahou will never come to you again-"

Xiahou Swordsman couldn't listen to Yan Chixia's words at all, and interrupted him extremely rudely.

Suddenly, those eyes became more and more red, and under the moonlight, it looked like two evil fires were burning.

I saw Xiahou swordsman roaring on his back, his whole body and green tendons burst up, and a phantom of a blood wolf faintly appeared behind him?

"'Shadow of the Wolf'? Brother Xiahou Xian, you actually learned such an inhumane swordsmanship? ”

Yan Chixia is also a sword practitioner, and her attainments in swords are beyond the swordsmanship itself, but some swordsmanship still cannot be ignored, such as the trick "Heavenly Wolf Shadow" that Xiahou is using now.

"Hmph, the nine hundred and ninety-nine living life sacrifice swords are true, but I use the lives of those Hulu in the north, as long as I can win against you, what swordsmanship can't learn?"

Xia Hou stopped talking, secretly chanted the spell, and the momentum of the whole person had reached its peak.

In Li Zhi's opinion, the Xiahou swordsman at this time is enough to match the combat power of the peak of the Jindan period, is he burning his longevity?

Seeing this, Yan Chixia did not dare to slack off at all, and also adjusted her state to the strongest.

"Nine days of dragon roaring, ten thousand swords return to the sect-"

This is Yan Chixia's strongest style at present, the first four words are pronounced, the sword box behind it rises to the sky, and the swords leak out one after another, and its sound is like a dragon's roar.

At this moment, Yan Chixia's control of the sword had reached as many as nine.

With his left hand, he pointed into the air to set up a meeting point for the nine swords, and then swung his right arm forward to manipulate the formation of the swords, and he set up a small killing array in the void.

"Haha, okay, after this move, it will naturally be clear who is the 'number one sword in the world'."

Seeing that Yan Chixia finally came up with his strongest means, Xiahou Swordsman was even more excited, and he was able to defeat him in the opponent's strongest move, isn't this exactly what he dreamed of?

"Nine sons, they ......"

The momentum of the two people in the field has reached its peak, and in the courtyard of the entire ruined temple, whirlwinds have blown.

"Celestial Wolf Shadow—"

"Ten Thousand Swords Dynasty Sect—"

A man hangs in the air, with a sword in his hand;

One is down-to-earth with a sword in the air.

It was as if two monstrous forces, one killing and the other fierce, were about to collide with each other, and even Qin Huaiyu, who was watching from the sidelines, instinctively closed his eyes.

After a few moments, the wind went out, and there was the sound of the sword coming back into its sheath, but there was no sound that should have been deafening?

Qin Huaiyu slowly opened his eyes again, Yan Chixia and Xiahou were still facing each other, one in white and the other in black hunting.

It's just that there are no more swords in their hands, Yan Chixia's nine swords have been returned to the box, and Xiahou Swordsman's "Heavenly Demon Sword" has also returned to his scabbard.

It's just that the two of them looked at the center of the venue with wide eyes, and their mouths were slightly open, and they didn't close for a long time.

"Nine Princes? ——”

I don't know when, Li Zhi, who was originally standing beside Qin Huaiyu, had already come to Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman.

Looking at the posture of his hands apart, did he rely on his own strength to forcibly stop the duel between the two?

"Hahaha, a certain family remembers that the little brother just called himself 'Li Jiu', right? I didn't expect Yan to look away, the little brother was actually a senior master, disrespectful and disrespectful——"

In cultivation, there is no elder or younger, and those who reach it are respected, Yan Chixia called Li Zhi a "senior master", which is not too abrupt to say.

Yan Chixia was stunned for a while, and then she completely understood what was going on, no wonder a teenage scholar dared to stay in the broken temple.

I have always been worried about the safety of these two people, afraid that Xiahou will hurt these two people when he comes to gamble, but I didn't expect ......

"'Senior master' can't afford to be a young student, if brother Tai doesn't mind, it sounds more comfortable to call me 'little brother'. If I guess correctly, Brother Tai is the famous Yan Chixia, right? ”

"Oh, the little brother also knows the name of a certain family? Yes, it's Yan Chixia below! ”

Yan Chixia was still a little surprised that a teenager like Li Zhi could call his name in person.

However, he had already judged that the other party's realm was above himself, and even the entourage on the side was the existence of "martial arts gods", and they were all so young.

It seems that this son must not be an ordinary person, "Li Jiu", I'm afraid this is not his real name, right?

"Why? …… Why, exactly? ……”

Compared with Yan Chixia's frank treatment on her side, the Xiahou swordsman on the other side was like a defeated rooster, staring at his "Heavenly Demon Sword" that had been returned to the sheath and muttering to himself.

Looking at his appearance, he was obviously completely shocked by Li Zhi's move.

A teenager, or a teenager who had just been "ridiculed" by himself, was stunned that he didn't see clearly how the other party made a move, so he lightly separated him from Yan Chixia?

And his "Heavenly Demon Sword" was also uncontrollable and flew back into his scabbard.

"Who are you? Is it your hand? ”

Although, Xiahou Swordsman knew that it was the hand of the young man in front of him, but he unconsciously asked.

"Your Excellency is Brother Xiahou, right? The grievances between you and Brother Yan can be roughly guessed in the next place, and they are just trying to fight for a 'No. 1 sword in the world'. ”

"Just for this false name, you have to be entangled for seven years before you still have to fight to the death?"

"It's just the hand that is under the line, but I've also learned the crop style for a few days, and I'm afraid it's a little bit higher than the two in the realm, even so, it's still not in the stream at this point."

Li Zhi in the center of the venue spoke eloquently, with an unhurried look, but the words he said made Yan Chixia and Xiahou swordsmen on both sides red-faced.

Both of them are a lot older, and it doesn't matter if they are easily defeated by a teenager, he still claims to be "unpopular"?

If he is "not in the stream", then what are the two of them?

is embarrassed to call the name on the rivers and lakes, but he still licks his face to fight for the "first sword in the world"?

At least Xiahou Swordsman is red-faced, Yan Chixia, but it is not very obvious, after all, the beard on his face can still play a certain role in covering his shame.

"That...... Little brother, today we first drank and fought, and we can be regarded as acquaintances, can we not give a real name? ”

"It's a crime to disobey the masters, it seems that Yan will have to practice diligently in the future, otherwise this little bit of Taoism will really not be able to do it."

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally Yan Chixia broke the deadlock, he is an open-minded person himself, doesn't he pay so much attention to the results of the competition.

In an instant, he and Xiahou Swordsman were defeated by Li Zhi's move at the same time, which was a completely crushing rhythm, so that he couldn't have the slightest fluke mentality.

"The ...... of the Ninth Prince"

Hearing Yan Chixia ask, Qin Huaiyu, who was standing behind, hurriedly said that he wanted to prevent Li Zhi from reporting to his home.

After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they are both in Pingshui, how can they easily expose the identity of His Royal Highness King Jin?

"Haha, Brother Huaiyu, you're worried again. Brother Yan, Brother Xiahou, the next surname is Li, and he is also the ninth in the family, so there is nothing wrong with you calling me Li Jiu. ”

"Speaking of origin, maybe a little special, my father is now sitting high in Chang'an City, and he also has a small title, which is the King of the Tang Dynasty, and his name is Li Zhi."

Yan Chixia's personality, Li Zhi can be trusted, as for Xiahou Swordsman, his original tragic ending still makes Li Zhi a little embarrassed.

Since he let himself touch it, he thought that he could intervene, if it wasn't for Li Zhi's timely action, maybe these two would really lose both.

"What? You are Henan Dao, the Jin King Li Zhi of the Ten Thousand Buddhas? ”

Li Zhi's registration, Yan Chixia was also taken aback.

The first thing to marvel at is not that he has an emperor's father, Yan Chixia, who traveled south and north, happened to have walked on Henan Road in the past, and there is one thing to say, Li Zhi's reputation is too loud.

Unexpectedly, I met in this broken temple tonight, not only drank wine with myself in the middle of the night, but also a hidden master.

Yan Chixia was amazed, and Xiahou Swordsman was also a little moved.

Xiahou, although he seems to be a little unkind on the surface, and he has practiced such exercises, he is also a kind-hearted person in his bones, at least for the people of China.

"Hey, it's just a false name, the Buddha of the Wan family can't be deserved, that's Lord Wei Zheng's own efforts, Lord Fang Xuanling is strategizing, I'm just putting on a name and doing something within my power."

"Ten Thousand Buddhas"? What a high praise that is, Li Zhi doesn't dare to take it hard, he will lose his life.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Jin in person, Xiahou was polite—"

Xiahou swordsman, dressed in white, actually made a rare salute to Li Zhi.

He has also visited several disaster-stricken places in Henan Province, and has seen first-hand those displaced people who have either died of starvation or their families have been destroyed.

Even if Xia Hou's swordsmanship is high, he can save three or five people, can he save thousands of people?

It was His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who was in front of him, who personally went out of Chang'an City and brought countless grains to the victims of Henan Province.

It is even more kind, gathering many homeless refugees in the Luoyang area, building villages and countless people.

Now that we've said that, tonight's competition will naturally end here.

Li Zhi also specially called Qin Huaiyu over and personally introduced him to Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman, the second son of Qin Shubao, the Duke of Yiguo, who reached the realm of "martial arts through gods" at the age of sixteen.

If it weren't for Li Zhi on the side, such Qin Huaiyu would be the focus of attention no matter where he put it.

Although the competition was short, the courtyard of this dilapidated temple was even more damaged, and the wine and meat in the temple were already exhausted.

After looking at the sky, it would be dawn in half an hour at most, and after a brief discussion, the four of them decided to leave the place together.

Li Zhi and the others naturally wanted to go back to Chang'an, Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman were already at home all over the world, and after Li Zhi was repeatedly invited, they agreed to go with them.

It happened to bring four war horses from Luoyang City, originally one person rode in pairs, but now one person happened to ride one.

Walking unhurriedly along the way, it was more Li Zhi and Yan Chixia talking.

Sure enough, as Li Zhi "knows", this Yan Chixia is indeed from Confucianism, and she has eaten in the public for a few years, and her personality is too upright, so she can't stay for a long time.

Later, by chance, he practiced swordsmanship under the "Kunlun School".

However, this Yan Chixia has learned a lot of miscellaneous, of course, when facing the enemy, she mainly uses swordsmanship, and from time to time there are Confucian methods, and now she is fascinated by Buddhist exercises.

Although he has left the public gate, Yan Chixia still likes to fight unevenly, but with his current skills, he naturally will not be as knowledgeable as ordinary gangsters.

"Brother Yan, have you ever thought about 'eliminating demons and punishing evil spirits'? The world is so big, there are no wonders, there are those who cultivate immortals and cultivate the Tao, and there are those who make monsters for demons. ”

"When you encounter those evil monsters with some strength, but anyone who brings disaster to the township and poisons the people, Brother Yan can get rid of them with his strength, and it is not in vain to practice."

After a few conversations, Li Zhi unexpectedly found that the Yan Chixia in front of him had not yet embarked on the road of "eliminating demons and subduing demons"?

This deviated too much from Yan Chixia's character in his "impression", and Li Zhicai couldn't help but persuade him with a bad taste.

"Don't hide it...... Jiu Gongzi, Yan once had this thought, and the family teacher once said that after Yan's three exercises of 'Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism' were gathered, he could only consider subduing demons and eliminating demons. ”

"Yan also asked the family teacher why this is the case, and the family teacher blocked it back with a sentence of 'heavenly opportunities must not be leaked', and now Yan has finally got a 'Diamond Sutra', I think it won't be long before Yan can be like what the ninth prince said."

Li Zhi recalled for a while, it seems that Yan Chixia in his memory really knows Buddhist magic, it seems to be from the "Diamond Sutra", what else is the Prajnaparami Divine Sword to subdue the demon?

Seeing that Yan Chixia would eventually follow his established path, Li Zhi didn't say anything more, and set his eyes on the Xiahou swordsman, who was slightly behind half a horse.

"I wonder what Brother Xiahou plans to do next?"

The sky was already bright, and the red sun was rising, and Li Zhi realized that the Xiahou swordsman was actually not very old, at most in his thirties?

I'm afraid it's a matter of cultivating the exercises, two eyes...... Anyway, it looks a little charming, and it doesn't look like a good person.

"The Ninth Prince, before the next step, he always thought he was amazing, but in front of the real master, it turned out to be so vulnerable."

"This time, I would like to thank Jiu Gongzi for his slap in the face, which woke up the obstinate Xiahou, but Xiahou feels that there is still room for improvement in his kendo skills, so he will return to the north to practice diligently."

Xia Hou is such a person, after he has completely figured it out, he is no longer attached in some aspects, especially in front of Li Zhi.

"If Brother Xiahou is interested, I can recommend a place for you to go."

"The Duke of Lu in the middle of the court is biting gold, and now he is stationed in the north, I heard that the stubbornness there is very strong, and there are some inhuman ghosts and ghosts, which came out of nowhere."

"If Brother Xiahou goes there, first, he can get the due offerings from the army, and secondly, he can deal with those ghosts and ghosts, and it is also where a cultivator like Brother Xiahou comes in."

From some of the newspapers collected by Wei, Li Zhi also knew some things about the frontier.

Since last year, the northern border has not been very peaceful, especially some demons and evil spirits have emerged, even a person like Cheng Yanjin who is at the peak of the congenital peak of the Great Perfection is very difficult to deal with with with the power of the military array.

Now that there is such a good "thug" as Xiahou Swordsman, how could Li Zhi not do his best to "fool" him?

"This ...... It's a good place to go, and it's time to think twice. ”

Xiahou swordsman was originally a casual cultivator, and he was used to being at ease, if he entered the barracks, he was afraid that he would be somewhat restrained.

However, because of Li Zhi's face, Xiahou Swordsman did not say it too much.

……

All the way to the official road, when the four people sitting on the horse saw the Chang'an City Gate, it was already close to noon.

Although the early spring sun is not very hot, the midday sun is still a little dazzling.

"Nine Princes, after leaving Chang'an for more than half a year, we are finally back again-"

Among these people, Qin Huaiyu is the real young man's heart, and when he saw Chang'an City, his heart had already flown back home, and he couldn't wait to beat the horse and gallop.

Li Zhi grabbed the reins, and his heart palpitated inexplicably, as if he had lost something?

With a solemn expression, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky.

The sun was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and in the sky, it began to rain coldly, falling on a few people.

Suddenly, there was a faint fishy smell in the air, and the color of the rain ......

Red?

In the sky above Chang'an City, it turned out to be a rain of blood?
