It has been nearly a month since Yang Ning left Qushan City, and after a month of travel, Yang Ning came to a place where mountains and rivers are interspersed, which is the boundary of Shuchuan in Liuyun Country.

And in this Shu River, it is the seat of the Northern Xuan Sword Sect.

Yang Ning said goodbye to Yang Qiong, and after a month of traveling, he finally arrived here, looking at the clear ravines in front of him, Yang Ning felt deeply.

There was once a poet who wrote: Shu is difficult, Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky.

For secular people, the difficulty of the Shu Dao is indeed tantamount to ascending to the blue sky, but for most cultivators, it is not among them.

Even if most Mountain Viewing Realm cultivators can't fly, they can still do it if they are as light as a swallow, so it is difficult to ascend the Shu Dao of the Blue Heaven, and it cannot stop the cultivators.

Yang Ning was walking on the side between the two mountains at the moment, and there was a road halfway up the mountain that could only accommodate one person. Next to it is a bottomless cliff, and less than ten zhang away from the other side is the mountain range on the other side.

At the bottom of the cliff, there is a faint sound of a trickle.

The mountains on both sides are intertwined with trees and weeds, and it looks like a primeval forest, but it is not inaccessible, but very lively.

Perhaps because the road is rough, only one person can pass at a time, so there is always a flow of people coming and going on the mountain road here.

A staircase with no one step, winding, extremely rugged, shuttling between the chaotic forest, like an earthworm day by day, writhing.

The sound of the ape spreads far and wide, there is grief, there is joy, there is sadness, there is joy......

The sunlight shines through the cracks in the forest, dotted with stars, so as not to make this forest gloomy and terrifying, but in the dense primeval forest, there is still some gloomy and floating atmosphere.

The damp smell hits the face, which makes people feel unnatural and unaccustomed.

Yang Ning shuttled through it, and along the rugged road, he also felt a trace of fatigue.

Today is the sixth day that he has entered this forest, that is to say, he has traveled for more than six days in this so-called Shu Dao, but he still can't see the edge of the mountain.

Sandwiched between two mountains, there is always a feeling of distraction after a long time.

Yang Ningwu complained spontaneously, looked at the mountain covered by clouds and mist in the distance, and said: "Shu Dao is difficult, it's really not a rumor. ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of a search in the woods.

"Huh?" Yang Ning turned around, only to see that behind him, an old ape with a foot in length was looking at him, making a low noise.

The old ape didn't look fierce, and even looked like an old dragon clock, looking very tired, his eyes drooped tiredly, and he was about to close, but his two arms were firmly grasping the chaotic trees in the forest, very tight, as if as soon as he let go, he would fall into this abyss.

The old ape snorted, and there was a "cooing" sound from his stomach.

"It turned out that he was hungry...... Yang Ning grinned, feeling that this old ape probably already had considerable wisdom, and it was already hungry, otherwise he would not have looked for humans and asked for help.

Yang Ning took out a piece of cooked fresh meat from the space ring and threw it over.

The old ape whispered, and when he saw the cooked meat flying towards him, he suddenly seemed to have a spirit, and let go of the messy branch he was holding with one hand, took the cooked meat, and began to feast on it.

Soon, a piece of cooked meat the size of a human head was wiped out by the old ape, and then the old ape hung on the branch and made a move that made Yang Ning couldn't help but be surprised.

The old ape bowed his head in place, as if to thank Yang Ning and express his gratitude to Yang Ning.

"Old ape, you're welcome, you and I meet in Pingshui, meeting is fate, so why bother......"

Without waiting for Yang Ning to finish speaking, the old ape already seemed to be a little impatient and wanted to show his vigor. However, the old ape is obviously not very intelligent, and after a thank-you gift, regardless of Yang Ning's words, he ran around and disappeared into the forest.

The old ape with strength looks like a divine horse, and the back of the departing is strong and elastic.

"This old ape is a little cute......"

Yang Ning muttered to himself. Human beings are always intrigued, for their own desires, in order to make themselves stronger, always use friends, use relatives, and finally become a ruthless and unrighteous cold-blooded animal, compared to this old ape, but there is a big inferior.

However, Yang Ning didn't think much about it, looked at the dim sun in the sky, and after resting, the strength between his feet gradually returned, and Yang Ning hit the road again.

The green mountains are still the same, but it is already late autumn, and it always has a sad color.

The leaves in the forest are constantly falling, and the autumn wind blows the leaves, falling from the fingers, like a person's life, sprouting in spring, thriving in summer, and finally returning to the roots in autumn.

A cycle, just like a person's life.

However, Yang Ning at this time didn't have the heart to think about this, this moment, just like the leaves in spring, was still in the germination stage.

There is still more than half a year, that is, the five factions are in a big competition, although Yang Ning doesn't attach much importance to it, but this is what he promised his predecessors, and Yang Ning must complete it.

Although the predecessor of the sword jue was cured by Yang Ning, but in the battle of Qingming Town, the sword jue had already paid off the favor, and Yang Ning took the sword of the sword back then, which in Yang Ning's opinion, still owed the sword jue a favor, so Yang Ning agreed to the invitation of the sword jue to replace the Northern Xuan Sword Sect and complete the five faction competition.

The Northern Xuan Sword Sect, sitting in Shuchuan, Liuyun Country, is the largest force in Shuchuan, but among the five major forces in Liuyun Country, it can only be ranked fourth, so Jian Jue invited Yang Ning, hoping to achieve a good result.

Yang Ning has been in Shu for more than six days, except for the old ape just now, everything is very bland, but the blandness is always reserved for comfortable people.

In front of Yang Ning's eyes, a platform appeared, which was not big, but it was enough to accommodate more than 30 people. On the platform, there were five people holding long knives in their hands, and above the blade, there was a faint glow.

Cultivators? Yang Ning could determine at a glance that these five people must be cultivators, and Yang Ning couldn't see through their cultivation, that is to say, these five people were at least high-level cultivators in the Mountain Viewing Realm, or even at the peak.

Without waiting for Yang Ning to speak, he saw that the five people had already bullied him.

"Boy, hand over your belongings, you can pass safely, otherwise you ......" One of them smirked at the corner of his mouth, snorted twice, and the long knife lit up.

"Five brothers, this is ......"

"Who is your brother, numb, take out the money on your body, otherwise let you taste how fast Grandpa's knife is......"

One of them had a full beard, a glittering long knife, and a fierce look on his face.

Yang Ning's speech was interrupted, and he suddenly became angry, you said that you are a cultivator, what is not good to learn, learn from others to rob, isn't this a loss for cultivators, besides, you are all so high in cultivation, and you have to rob ordinary people who come and go, it is really ......

Yang Ning had already moved his killing intent.

"Quick? Don't know how fast your knife is? Yang Ning's expression was as usual, staring at the bearded man, who had already locked it firmly.

"Quick?" The big man was stunned, he didn't expect the hairy boy in front of him to have such courage, and said, "Look ......"

As he spoke, the knife flashed and cut directly towards Yang Ning, and the target was Yang Ning's neck.

"Grandpa let you see how fast this knife is......" The knife light was cold, and the first sound was snatching, and the air that cut directly was whirring.

"How daring!" Yang Ning exclaimed, with the sword in his hand, he hurriedly retreated under his feet, took two steps back, and then took advantage of the hardness of the steps, kicked his legs, jumped up, rolled in the air, and came to the platform from the steps.

"Huh?" The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and said, "I didn't expect to be a cultivator, this is really an unexpected surprise......

The bearded man was already full of light, as if Yang Ning's whole body was a little attractive, the long knife in his hand made a buzzing sound, and he made a horizontal cut again, rotated his body, and cut towards Yang Ning's waist.

"Surprise? I'll surprise you. Yang Ning took advantage of the sword intent to condense the sword intent, and directly swung out with a sword intent, meeting the long sword.

I only heard a "ding" sound in the air, the long knife stopped, the sword intent dissipated, Yang Ning took two steps back on the spot, and the bearded man was also unstable, staggering, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Master......"

The bearded man moved his spiritual power, and in an instant, the aura that was on the edge of life and death emanated from his body, and a faint killing intent followed the long knife and approached Yang Ning.

The long knife was accurate, and it was directly swung out with a reamer at the Chengyi sword in Yang Ning's hand.

Tumbling, with a breeze, startled a crowd of cuckoos around it.

"Looking for a dead ......" Yang Ning was already very angry, inexplicably, he was locked by this bearded man, and his shot was a killing move, how could he not make Yang Ning angry.

Mixed element sword.

Yang Ning was already furious.

The sword intent instantly converged, forming a giant sword, regardless of the big man's strangling knife, the side of the body went straight to the face of the big man.

As long as a sword hits, the big man will die.

Whew......

There were many fallen leaves in the air, but this did not interfere with Yang Ning's lore sword.

"Third child, get out of the way, don't take ...... hard"

Among the five people, the older one looked a little thin, but between his eyes, there was a ruthless color.

After saying a word, the long knife in his hand moved violently, as if carrying a huge mountain, cutting in from the side to block Yang Ning's sword.

Rumble......

On the platform, there was a loud bang.

On the stone of the platform, a pit the size of a human head appeared, and it was obvious that the first encounter between the two was finally stopped by the eldest of the five.

In the pit above the ground, the sword intent flew out, and the sword light was cold.

If the five of them don't understand it at this moment, they are complete fools.

"A master, and a swordsman who comprehends sword intent, is a little tricky."

The five made eye contact, and they quickly understood the truth.

"Let's go to the ...... together"

The five of them have already agreed to be ordinary, and they have cooperated I don't know how many times, and they know that this person is not easy to mess with, so they will besiege them directly.

Five long knives, from five different directions, had already surrounded Yang Ning.

The sword light was cold, exuding a dignified killing intent, and the knife pointed at Yang Ning's body, and nowhere was it not a vital point.

"Who are you?" At this moment, Yang Ning had no plans to be kind, and he only had a cold killing intent in his heart.

"Shuchuan Five Tigers ......"

"It turned out to be you." Yang Ning finally understood who he had met. The five poisons of Shuchuan, all of them are ruthless, they are all cultivators at the peak of the Guanshan Realm, even if they are in the Liuyun Kingdom, they also have their names.

And the five of them are long-wanted robber habitual criminals in Liuyun Country. However, they have been wanted for a long time, but there is still no way to take them, because the five people are particularly cunning, as long as they are invincible, they will enter Shuchuan, making it impossible for people to find out their whereabouts at all.

Over time, it was forgotten, and the five reappeared, still bandits, and their dead nature did not change.

"Why, knowing the names of the five grandfathers, be afraid, obediently suffer death, and avoid the suffering of flesh and skin, otherwise...... Humph......"

The five steel knives pointed at Yang Ning, not daring to relax at all. Even if the five people are arrogant and domineering, they must be cautious in the face of swordsmen.
