Even if it wasn't the first time he had seen Ximen blowing snow, Yan Ming still couldn't help but sigh at the other party's temperament, cold and dusty not like a mortal.

After Yan Ming came in, Ximen Fuxue was still looking at the moon and didn't look at him, and only this sword god could play so handsomely.

However, Yan Ming glanced at Ximen Blowing Snow's saber more, and obviously felt that there was a strong sword intent accumulated in it, but it did not show its edge, it was hidden but not leaky, it should have not been unsheathed for a long time.

It seems that Ximen Blowing Snow also attaches great importance to the upcoming peak battle with Ye Gucheng, and has been raising swords.

"How did you remember to see me?"

Yan Ming walked over with a smile, saying that he and Lu Xiaofeng were old acquaintances, and he was not welcome.

Sikong picked the star and said: "I'm idle and bored, it just so happens that the little phoenix is investigating the case, so I'll join in with him." ”

"Oh? Another case? Yan Ming looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

"Don't mention it, it's trouble again." Lu Xiaofeng's face was full of helplessness, and then he briefly said the matter.

With Lu Xiaofeng's narration, Yan Ming was also a little surprised.

It turned out that Lu Xiaofeng had been a chic casual person for a period of time since the last goodbye, and he was accompanied by wine and beauties every day, but he was involved in trouble not long ago.

According to him, Lu Xiaofeng was entrusted not long ago to find a young man who was addicted to gambling and had wandered nearby, and this person was the son of the leader of the Western Demon Sect, Jade Qilin, who had fled abroad.

"It is said that some time ago, the Jade Qilin died, and the position of the sect leader was temporarily vacant, and this young master of the Western Demon Sect who did not learn and did not know how to do it carried a Demon Sect holy relic Rakshasa card, whoever can get this token can sit on the position of the sect leader according to the last words of the Jade Qilin." Sikong Xingxing answered on the side.

"Not long ago, people found it in a gambling house called the Silver Hook Casino, but what I found was a dead man, and the Rakshasa card on his body was gone, and now the owner of the Silver Hook Casino, Bluebeard, can't get along with me, and the two elders of the Western Demon Sect are also leading people to chase and kill me constantly, so it is imperative that I find the Rakshasa card." Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but knock on his brain.

Western Demon Sect, Yan Ming has also heard of it.

Although its sphere of influence is not in the Central Plains, its power is really not small, and the masters in the sect are like clouds, and some people even claim that they are no less than the forces such as the Shifting Flower Palace and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect in Middle Earth, and the sect leader Jade Qilin is even more unfathomable.

But the plot that Lu Xiaofeng said, Yan Ming sounds familiar, it seems to be the plot in the Silver Hook Casino, but it is different, and there have been some deviations in the plot.

And according to the memory, the sect leader Jade Qilin just cheated to death, in fact, there are other conspiracies hidden behind it.

But these have nothing to do with him, and Lu Xiaofeng should be able to deal with it easily.

Don't look at him complaining now, but in fact, there is not a trace of pressure on his face.

"Then ...... him"

As soon as Yan Ming wanted to ask Ximen to blow the snow, the other party took the lead in speaking, still staring at the moon, and said slowly without looking back.

"That guy died at your hands after all?"

Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Picking Star may not know who Ximen Blowing Xue is talking about, but Yan Ming knows that he is referring to Jin Jiuling.

Jin Jiuling's swordsmanship had already been praised by Ximen Blowing Snow before, and Ximen Blowing Snow deliberately kept him alive, wanting him to grow up to be his opponent.

It seems that Ximen Chuixue has long known Jin Jiuling's identity, but he is too lazy to ask, he only cares about whether anyone can alleviate his loneliness in swordsmanship.

Yan Ming complained a little in his heart, the brain circuit of a master is always different, and the habit of Ximen Blowing Snow not talking and not looking at it is why he can make it so forceful.

"Yes, if I don't kill him, he will kill me."

"Alas, that's it, the outcome of this battle with Ye Gucheng is not yet known."

Ximen Fuxue sighed lightly, finally turned around, looked at Yan Ming, looked up and down, and sighed.

"It seems that your strength has improved a lot, and now you are not weaker than me, how good it would be if you majored in kendo!"

His tone was full of regret.

Yan Ming heard what it meant, and what he said was victory or defeat, but in fact, for masters with characters like Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng, this cut is both superior and life-and-death, and it is destined that only one person can live, and from the tone of voice, Ximen Blowing Snow does not seem to be sure that he can win.

This is not quite right, when has Ximen Chuixue's confidence in his own strength ever wavered? Even if Ye Gucheng's Flying Immortals are very powerful......

Seeing Yan Ming's slightly puzzled expression, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Xingxing next to him both showed strange expressions.

Sikong picked up the stars and came over and whispered to Yan Ming: "Ximen Blowing Snow recently met a girl from the Emei faction. ”

"Oh......"

Yan Ming suddenly realized that he had forgotten about it.

In my memory, Ximen Fuxue found true love before the Battle of the Forbidden City, Sun Xiuqing, one of the four shows of the Emei faction, and was also pregnant with a child.

Speaking of which, this Sun Xiuqing has seen it herself, when she was in Seven Heroes Town, Sun Xiuqing followed behind Dugu Yihe and had a relationship.

There are lovers who eventually become married, which is of course a good thing for Simon Blowing Snow's life, but it may not be true for Simon Blowing Snow's swordsmanship.

Ximen Fuxue is nicknamed the ruthless sword god, only ruthless and desireless can he exert his sword path to the extreme, and now that there is a bond, his strength has declined, no wonder his confidence will decline slightly.

Ximen Fuxue deliberately pretended not to hear Sikong Xingxing's words, and looked cold, but his face was already a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help coughing, but this cough was even more obvious.

It's just that now Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Xingxing didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Yan Ming's eyes with surprise compared to before, and seemed to have reacquainted with this acquaintance.

Because Ximen Fuxue has already said just now, Yan Ming's strength is no longer weaker than him?

How is this possible!

How long have they been apart in total, a master like Ximen Blowing Snow, even if he looks at the world, it is one of the few, Yan Ming will enter the realm so quickly?

But Ximen Blowing Snow will never be mistaken......

For a while, even Lu Xiaofeng, who had never had any anxiety about strength, was a little emotionally complicated.

Lu Xiaofeng is actually very talented, otherwise he would not have studied such a trick as Lingxi One Finger, even if his strength is worse than that of Ximen Blowing Snow, but few people in the rivers and lakes can control him.

But now compared with a demon like Yan Ming, it is quite frustrating.

"Harm, let's not mention this first, by the way, Brother Yan, this time I came to invite you to enter the palace after a while and watch the battle at the top of the Forbidden City." Lu Xiaofeng sent out an invitation.

At the same time, a ribbon also appeared in his hand, purple all over, and he looked luxurious.

"This was handed over to me by Wei Ziyun, the commander of the forbidden army, on the night of the full moon, only those who hold this ribbon can enter the palace to watch the battle. Brother Yan must come when the time comes. ”

As he spoke, Lu Xiaofeng handed the silk scarf to Yan Ming.

Yan Ming didn't refuse, took it, looked at it in his hand, and probably understood what Lu Xiaofeng meant.

The number of people entering the palace is limited, if this ribbon is put outside, there may be how many people will break their heads, Lu Xiaofeng gave him one, and he also regarded him as his own.

In addition, Yan Ming was not just invited to watch the battle in the past, not to mention Lu Xiaofeng now, even Yan Ming has already noticed that the undercurrent of thought in the capital is surging, maybe someone will take advantage of this war to do something.

At that time, in case of any changes in the palace, Yan Ming can also be a big help to stabilize the situation.

The pinnacle battle between the ruthless sword god and the Baiyun City Lord, the battle of life and death, I believe that there is no martial artist who does not want to observe, even if it is just watching from a distance, it can be of great benefit to the martial arts entering the realm, Yan Ming immediately nodded and agreed.

Of course, Yan Ming can also feel Lu Xiaofeng's entanglement, this battle is not a good thing for him, because Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Blowing Xue and Ye Gucheng are all friends, and he doesn't want to see the two fight to the death, but he really can't persuade these two.

Looking back at Ximen Blowing Snow, he began to stare at the moon outside again, dressed in white, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yan Ming couldn't help but sense a bit of urgency from the other party.

Early the next morning, Yan Ming was called to the six doors.

The Qinglu Holy Envoy has been secretly imprisoned, and the nuns of the Hengshan Sect have also been properly settled by the Six Doors to recuperate from their injuries.

But this incident did not spread to the outside world, so that it did not set off any waves in the capital.

The craze of discussion about Yan Ming in the streets and alleys has finally subsided, and the discussion of the upcoming battle for the top of the Forbidden City has resumed.

Some people have already begun to discuss that they have seen Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, arrive in the capital.

Only the insiders of the Six Doors knew that after yesterday's incident, Guo Juxia had already led people to search the outside of the capital several times overnight, and sure enough, some sneaky Black Lotus Cultists were found sporadically, and several skirmishes broke out.

However, the six doors were quite inexperienced in facing the Black Lotus Sect, and even if they were cold-blooded and chased for their lives, they couldn't catch them alive.

The secret activities of the Black Lotus Sect added a lot of worries to Guo Juxia's heart.

As soon as Yan Ming came out after discussing yesterday's situation, he was glued by Guo Qiangrose again.

Although she was scolded by her father yesterday, Guo Qiangrose fiercely satisfied her dream of rivers and lakes, and escaped while the family was not strictly guarded.

Now when she saw Guo Qiangrose, Yan Ming had a little headache, she really couldn't stand her noisy temperament, and before she was entangled, she directly exerted force under her feet, and threw her away in two steps, leaving Guo Qiangrose alone in the same place with a pouting of breath.

In the next two days, the six doors became more and more busy, but the capital became more and more lively, but there was nothing to find Yan Ming's head again, and he took the opportunity to catch up with Xing Zhutou.

It can be seen that Master Lao Xing is not bad in the capital, compared with other bad people, Lao Xing's strength may not be very good, but the popularity is not to say, under normal circumstances, there is nothing important to find him, the above just explains some trivial errands to him, usually has a lot of free time, and even patrols the streets are saved.

No wonder Yan Ming felt that he had gained a lot of weight when he saw Lao Xing, and the smile on his face became brighter every day.

And soon Yan Ming found out that Lao Xing was not idle when he was free, and Widow Zhang, who was at the end of the alley of his residence, had already secretly sent autumn waves with Lao Xing frequently, and Yan Ming also met her several times to help Lao Xing wash clothes and cook, as if there was a situation.

Every time he was bumped into by his own apprentice, Lao Xing's expression was extremely unnatural, and he coughed vigorously to cover up the embarrassment, but Widow Zhang's eyes when she looked at Lao Xing like a string had already explained everything.

This also made Yan Ming sigh with emotion, it seems that even from the town of Seven Heroes to the capital, Master's taste is still the same, and he has a soft spot for widows.

But this is good, the shopkeeper Tong is out of play, and the master has also found his own widow, and everyone has a bright future.

During this period, Yan Ming once returned to the post house and saw a thank you gift from Aunt Gongsun in the house, obviously thanking Yan Ming for keeping his promise to save several members of the Red Shoes and not handing them over to the six doors.

Aunt Gongsun also left her own tokens and an unsigned letter, promising that if Yan Ming had any trust in the future, she would not refuse.

After Yan Ming finished reading it, he crushed the letter into powder with internal force. Red shoes have been active in the capital for many years, and the trees have deep roots, and the reason why they sell their favors will definitely be a useful place in the future.

Days flew by.

The moon at night in the capital was finally fully completed, and there was no omission, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the continuous roofs of the capital, making the night look extraordinarily bright.

Although it was late at night, many people still hadn't slept, and at the end of the main road in the city, which can accommodate eight cars side by side, was the majestic Imperial Palace.

At this moment, Wei Ziyun, who was the commander of the forbidden army, was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and kept sending out the forbidden army under him, striving to ensure the safety of the palace.

In order to cope with this extraordinarily different atmosphere tonight, the palace even transferred more forbidden military equipment.

Wei Ziyun listened to the report of his subordinates, and temporarily confirmed that there were no accidents, and there was no omission in the defense of the palace, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he turned around and checked the queue in front of him in turn.

A warrior in a strong suit walked in front of him, handed the purple ribbon in his hand to Wei Ziyun, checked that it was correct, and then registered and verified his identity before putting it into the palace gate, and was led by a special person to the place where he watched the battle.

During this time, Wei Ziyun entrusted Lu Xiaofeng to distribute the ribbons in the capital, and the people who could come here to watch the battle were all famous people in the rivers and lakes.

Soon, Yan Ming came to Wei Ziyun's face.

With the ribbon in hand, Wei Ziyun checked one or two, and then paid more attention to Yan Ming's body, looking up and down.

Obviously, Wei Ziyun has heard about Yan Ming's deeds recently.

Today, Yan Ming didn't want to attract much attention, but he just wore casual clothes, but his temperament was difficult to ignore even in a group of heroes with heads and faces.

Wei Ziyun finished looking at it, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yan Zhutou, please." ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to take Yan Ming into the palace gate.

Yan Ming came over and observed carefully while walking, in his memory, something big will happen tonight, and he will never be calm. But along the way, I didn't find anything unusual.

Walking forward, when passing by Wei Ziyun's side, Yan Ming's heart jumped slightly, and he looked back at him more, but the strange aura on Wei Ziyun's body was fleeting.

Soon, Yan Ming also came to the open square in the palace, where many people had gathered, either sticking their heads out and waiting for the show to be staged, or talking about each other.

Yan Ming looked around again, and many forbidden troops and Ouchi masters had already been arranged around this place to guard them openly and secretly to prevent them from wandering around.

Looking from here, the majestic and majestic temple stands in front of you, and the bright moon like a jade plate hangs on the top of the four a, waiting for the protagonist to appear like a spotlight.

I have to say that this is an excellent angle to watch the battle, except that you have to raise your head slightly and your neck is a little tired.

Everything seems to be normal.

Soon, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Xingxing also appeared nearby, and they came over after seeing Yan Ming from a distance.

The few people had just spoken a few words, only to hear someone suddenly point to the roof of the temple.

"Here, that's Simon blowing snow!"

Everyone followed the prestige, and sure enough, a figure dressed in white with fluttering black hair was already standing lightly in the corner of the cornice.

He appeared silently, without even a slight movement of his body, and most people didn't even notice when he appeared, as if he had been standing there from the beginning.

Yan Ming narrowed his eyes, secretly frightened. He is one of the few people present who have a deep attainment of true intentions, and he can clearly feel that the sword momentum accumulated on Ximen Chuixue's body at this moment has reached its peak, and the whole person seems to be moving still, like a sword that has been accumulated to the extreme, and it is slightly unsheathed at this moment, leaking an amazing edge.

"It's coming, it's coming, Ye Gucheng is also here!"

Someone pointed to the other side.

Sure enough, the same fluttering Baiyun City Lord appeared, like an ordinary immortal, floating horizontally to another cornice in the moonlight, far away from the blowing snow at the West Gate.

Is the life-and-death duel between the two masters at the pinnacle of the world's kendo finally about to begin?

Everyone present was excited.
