Lin Xiuyuan faced the sudden powerful and mysterious martial cultivator, his expression was solemn and serious, and he clenched the long knife across his chest, still without the intention of retreating.

And the tall figure shrouded in black fog didn't seem to mean to do it immediately, but said with interest:

"The punch you used to make and the knife you just shot are very interesting, but do you have a name?"

Lin Xiuyuan faced his inquiry, was silent for a moment, and said seriously:

"The fist method opens the mountain, and the knife method is called slashing the sky!"

The tall figure chuckled:

"The name is quite domineering, and the artistic conception is not bad, but it's a pity that your realm is too low to exert its true power, boy, this seat has some appreciation for your talent, if you are willing to join my command, I won't care about you if you kill my Demon Sect disciple, and I will give you the best resources to practice, how about it?"

Lin Xiuyuan thought for a while, asked a plausible question, and said:

"You're their master?"

The tall black shadow smiled disdainfully and said:

"Are they worthy of being my disciples? It's just a few useless miscellaneous fish, and if you're willing to join me, I might as well consider taking you as an apprentice. ”

Lin Xiuyuan said softly:

"Whether they are your apprentices or subordinates, how can a guy like you who wantonly obliterate his own people be worthy of being my master?"

The tall black shadow was silent for a moment, and then let out a loud laugh, but there was a cruel meaning in the laughter, and then said slowly:

"Okay, good, just a little guy in the body forging realm, dare to talk to this seat like this, it's really bold, it's okay, wait for me to break your limbs, and then take it back to educate slowly."

The moment the tall figure's voice fell, the figure began to slowly move forward, and as he moved, a suffocating terrifying power that had accumulated over the valley also began to slowly press down.

Lin Xiuyuan clenched the long knife, gritted his teeth strongly, and withstood the coercive force, so that his figure was still upright, and made a posture of wanting to make a knife, the tall figure sneered and said:

"You still want to fight this seat?"

Lin Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and said:

"You can give it a try!"

The tall figure couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard the best joke in the world, but he didn't see any movement, but the void reached out and swept forward, and a terrifying invisible force rolled the sand and stones in the sky, heading straight for Lin Xiuyuan.

In an instant, the land in front of Lin Xiuyuan broke inch by inch.

And he himself could only do his best, pushing the rusty long knife forward hard, and his innate true intent was running to the peak, the red lines around his body were like a stream flowing, surging non-stop, and the green tendons on his arms were bulging, almost using up all his strength.

But the gap between the two sides was too huge, Lin Xiuyuan only blocked for a moment, and the whole person was pushed backwards by this force, and in an instant, it was a distance of dozens of zhang, and two deep gullies were dragged out by his feet on the ground.

Just as he was about to crash into the rock wall not far behind, a palm suddenly appeared behind him, gently pressing against his back, just such a simple press, Lin Xiuyuan's figure immediately stopped, and even the terrifying impact force in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Lin Xiuyuan was slightly stunned at first, then turned around and looked back, an old man in a long shirt and cloth was looking at him with a smile, the other party was supporting his back with one hand, holding a book in the other, his face was old, but his eyes were bright and bright.

Seeing this old man, Lin Xiuyuan's eyes did not show any surprise, but he hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him softly, and the old man saw Lin Xiuyuan's calm and natural expression, and said with a slight surprise:

"Do you know who the old man is?"

Lin Xiuyuan replied truthfully:

"I don't know the old man's name, but I accidentally saw the old gentleman in the carriage before, and I know that you are not an ordinary person, you should be a master of Confucianism."

The old man was really a little surprised this time, although he didn't deliberately hide himself, but with his Confucian cultivation as a restrained trend, as long as the realm is not far beyond his existence, it is difficult to easily see through the identity, this little guy is just a martial artist in the forging realm, how can he find out?

As if seeing the old man's doubts, Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"The family teacher used to be a Confucian cultivator, and I saw his shadow in you."

The old man was slightly stunned at first, but then he was even more puzzled in his heart, Master Confucianism, how could there be a martial arts disciple, but now is obviously not the time to chat, and he didn't break the casserole to ask the end, after all, who hasn't had some ulterior little secrets, they have all been revealed, isn't it interesting.

Therefore, the old man just smiled gently, nodded lightly, and said:

"Wu Xiu has been lonely for many years, but I didn't expect that a good seedling will emerge today, and the future can be expected."

In the face of the old man's praise, Lin Xiuyuan didn't know how to answer, so he was silent, and the old man didn't care, just patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement.

While the two were talking, the tall figure shrouded in black mist was slowly approaching, and after the old man squinted at it, he whispered to Lin Xiuyuan:

"You did well before, and the next thing is not what you should be involved in now, there is still a long way to go, so don't be too anxious."

Lin Xiuyuan suddenly had a warm current in his heart, the way the old man spoke, reminded him of his master, the two of them seemed to be very similar, maybe it was because they were both Confucian cultivators, as soon as he thought of this, he nodded seriously and stepped back.

Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly, ignored Lin Xiuyuan, looked at the tall figure, and said with a slow smile:

"The hall master of a demon sect bullying a little doll is really shameless, the people of the demon sect are really boring!"

When the tall figure reached a distance of about twenty zhang away, he stopped, stared at the old man with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"It's you annoying Confucian cultivators again, the most annoying thing about this seat is that you so-called scholars, who are making fun of mysteries there all day long, and when I see one, I want to kill one."

The old man laughed and said:

"My generation of scholars set their hearts for heaven and earth, set up their lives for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, how can you understand that you are a fool who does not learn and has no skills, and has a dark mind?"

The tall black shadow sneered:

"Bullshit, when I tear you to shreds, see if you have any mouth to continue."

The old man's eyes were slightly cold, and the corners of his mouth were also filled with a sneer, and he said lightly:

"Just because you relied on crooked ways like this, and used the way of pulling out seedlings to grow, you barely won a fugue realm?"

The tall figure was slightly stunned, and looked at the old man carefully, his eyes became slightly serious, and the other party could see his cultivation at a glance, which can only show that the other party's cultivation is not much worse than his own.

But with this sentence alone, nature can't let him leave, the tall figure is finally no longer talking nonsense, the power of heaven and earth is instantaneous, in the valley, a gust of wind suddenly blows, sweeping the entire valley in an instant, the wind is like a sword, where it passes, the cliffs are broken, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal.

And the next moment, with a wave of the tall black shadow, all the gangfeng rushed towards the place where the old man was, and the power broke through the nine clouds.

In the face of such a huge blow, the old man just looked at it with a smile and said slowly:

"The sages have said that everything in heaven and earth should have rules and conclusions, and if you don't follow the rules, you won't be able to make a circle, so there should be no wind here."

As the old man's last wind word spit out, the heavens and the earth suddenly became quiet, and the Linggang wind that had swept the heavens and the earth before dissipated in an instant, and even in this valley, there was no trace of wind waves, as if all the winds were isolated in the old man's words.

Such a strange scene shocked the tall black shadow who was entangled in black mist, and he unconsciously took two steps back, and said in a deep voice:

"This is the Confucian word and the law, you have broken through the five realms, you are a sage in the Confucian realm, who are you?"

The old man smiled and said:

"If you want to know who I am, old man, I'll win the battle first."

The black shadow suddenly snorted coldly and said:

"What about the rules, Confucian cultivation is weak, I want to see if you can eat a few sticks from me."

Anyway, a pitch-black long stick suddenly appeared in his hand, covered with red lines, it looked black and red, very weird, the moment he took out the stick, the tall black shadow disappeared suddenly, and the next moment it had appeared in front of the old man, the long stick in his hand turned into a black shadow, and the force slashed down, and the true yuan on the stick flowed, with infinite might, and under a split, the whole valley trembled slightly, as if it was about to be shattered.

But in the face of such a stick, the old man was as steady as a rock, not moving at all, still looking at each other with a smile, and said softly:

"It's stupid to do it when you know you can't do it!"

The pitch-black long stick fell three feet in front of the old man, but it stopped suddenly, obviously there was nothing in front of the old man, but the stick could not fall, but kept trembling, and the black mist above the tall figure was surging, as if silently telling that he was trying his best.

Just when the two were deadlocked, the old man finally made a move, he raised his right hand, and pointed lightly at the stick, which suddenly let out a mournful trembling sound, as if it had been greatly hurt, but turned back upside down, and rolled away with the tall black shadow.

This time, the figure of the tall black shadow directly crossed the distance of a hundred zhang, but it did not stop there, but retreated again and again, and turned into a black spot in a blink of an eye.

The old man looked at the tall black shadow that was fleeing, laughed twice, and said unhurriedly:

"I also know that if I can't beat it, I will run, and I am not stupid to go home."

As he spoke, the old man took a step under his feet, but his figure disappeared in an instant, and he was already far away ten miles away above the tall black shadow, but the figure of the old man suddenly appeared, he was still holding a scroll in one hand, but a ring ruler appeared in the other hand, and then knocked lightly on the tall black shadow, and said at the same time:

"If you don't know how to be polite, you should be punished!"

This ruler seems to be light and fluttering, without any strength at all, but the moment the ruler falls, the thick black fog around the tall black shadow has all dispersed, and his original face is also exposed to the moonlight, but it is a middle-aged man with a thin face and slender eyes.

"Bang!"

A foot accurately landed on the man's head, and under this blow, the essence in the man's eyes suddenly dissipated, and the whole person trembled and rolled to the ground.

It was only at the moment of landing that a black shadow flashed from above his head.

The next moment, the black mist around the tall man dissipated, revealing his tall figure, wearing a black cloth suit, lying on his back, his eyes were blank, and he was directly dead.

But the old man standing in the void sighed softly, squinted into the distance, and chuckled:

"It's really reluctant, in order to survive, I don't even want this yang body, and use the golden cicada to get out of the shell to let the yin soul escape, but if you escape like this, if you can't find a compatible body, I'm afraid that you can only be a lonely ghost in the future, wouldn't it be even worse."
