[Chapter 240: Xie Yuan's Hope]

The dignified eighth-level swordsman, Cui Caozhi, the first master of the Cui family, was actually stunned by Li Chun's move!

- Originally, the scholars of Qingfeng City were all thinking of watching the excitement, but this time they were dumbfounded. Especially Huang Zhiyuan, the Heavenly Annihilation Sect who had a holiday with Li Chun, was even more frightened into a cold sweat.

He was ordered by the Heavenly Extermination Sect to come to Fubo County under the pretext of participating in the county examination, spying on Li Chun and looking for an opportunity to deal with him.

In the past few months, Li Chun has been cultivating behind closed doors in the Yue family, and Huang Zhiyuan has not found any good opportunities.

Who knows that Shibei will be impressed in three days, this kid is no longer Wuxia Ameng, at the beginning, he was only slightly inferior to Li Chun, but now - the other party wants to kill himself is simply a gesture!

Thankfully, I didn't do it first!

There is a world of difference between dealing with a sixth-level swordsman and dealing with an opponent who can knock an eighth-level swordsman down!

Not to mention that under the mediation of the eldest grandson, the Heavenly Annihilation Sect is inconvenient to act too much, even if it mobilizes all the resources of the county, it may not be able to take Li Chun down!

"This kid is not human...... Don't be his enemy anymore!"

Huang Zhiyuan is ruthless, after he killed the little boy and framed Li Chun, he has always wanted to kill Li Chun to kill people, and no one will know his secret again, but after seeing Li Chun's move today, he completely dispelled this idea.

――What are you kidding, such a young master, sooner or later he is a cultivator, even if it is the whole of the Heavenly Annihilation Sect, he doesn't want to offend him, anyway, Li Chun has already helped him carry the black cauldron, so don't trouble him in the future.

-- After I go back, I have to persuade the hall master to also stop his fight, and just just go along with the river and live in peace.

The Heavenly Annihilation Sect has its own big things to do, and it can't make extraneous branches.

Li Chun didn't know that today's shot would have the effect of killing two birds with one stone, he just shook his hand happily. He sheathed his sword and nodded slightly.

"Well, today's battle has inspired me a little, maybe I can find an opportunity to break through the ninth level!"

He was already at the peak of the eighth level, and his sword qi was extremely full. It's just that there is still no sense of thorns, and it is difficult to enter the ninth level. Dealing with Cui Caozhi today, it seems to be an understatement, retreating from the enemy with one move, but in fact, it is also mobilizing the sword qi of the whole body, and attacking with all his strength can have this result.

At this moment, the sword qi of the whole body was bulging, and there was a faint feeling of pain in several acupoints on the chest and arms.

――It seems to be the beginning of the sword qi stabbing hole!

"It looks like you want to break through to the ninth level. It is really not good to practice hard behind closed doors, it is better to fight more in actual combat, and the more you push yourself to the limit, the easier it is to break through. ”

Li Chun was also very happy if he realized something.

"In this way, congratulations to Brother Li!"

Bailiyun and Ye Qin glanced at each other, congratulated together, and were extremely envious-this kid is really powerful. The two of them finally reached the eighth level, and they felt that they were going to be on an equal footing with him. I didn't expect him to break through to the ninth level all of a sudden, it's really more popular than people.

On the other side, Cui Feiye's face was pale, no matter what, he didn't expect such a result.

That day, the Cui family battled, and several of them also studied it, with Li Chun's martial arts. It is absolutely impossible to send out the sword of the day again, judging from his usual skills, but he is between him and Cui Feiye.

Based on this, even if he improves, Cui Caozhi will not be defeated with one move.

-- That's a comparison. Wasn't he thrown out by Li Chun from afar?

Cui Feiye has a very high self-esteem, and his talent for learning martial arts is also excellent, he has never been the only one who surpasses others, and no one else surpasses him, who knows that when he meets Li Chun, it seems to be his nemesis.

From destroying his Five Directions Jade at the beginning, and then taking the position of his head of the case, now the martial arts and swordsmanship are far above him.

Then what glory does he, a child of a family with a sword at his waist, have to speak of?

It's all covered by this guy!

He hated it in his heart, but because of Li Chun's might, he didn't dare to say a cruel word, but silently picked up Cui Caozhi and turned around.

- He doesn't have the face to stay here anymore.

Li Chun defeated the eighth-level swordsman Cui Caozhi with one move, and the news quickly spread throughout Qingfeng City.

At this time, it was the critical moment of the upcoming county exam, and the information about the strength of the scholar was the most concerned.

Li Chun...... Who is it?"

"I heard that it is the head of Qingfeng City this year, but I didn't expect that I have surpassed the eighth-level swordsman, it seems that I have a great chance to win Xie Yuan!"

Cultivators will not participate in the county examination, because the cultivator will be given a birth, and it is still possible to participate in the palace examination of the imperial competition, and the county examination will not be considered at all, so the tenth-level swordsman is already the limit in the county examination.

In fact, there are not many tenth-level swordsmen, because at this point, the sword species wander around and reforge their bodies, they often retreat and impact the realm of cultivators, and they will not waste time on mundane affairs, and every three years there are so many Xie Yuan in each county, and there is only one at most out of a hundred that is level ten.

Xie Yuan's most powerful competitor is actually a ninth-level swordsman.

This time in the Fubo County Test, there was originally only one ninth-level swordsman Wu Fangyuan, who was nearly thirty years old and had a very strong foundation in martial arts, so he was a popular candidate for Xie Yuan this time.

Everyone calculates it, and few people can cause him trouble, who knows that the little-known Li Chun has suddenly risen to the peak of an eighth-level swordsman at the age of a teenager, maybe it will be possible to break through in a few days, then this Xie Yuan may not be Wu Fangyuan!

Li Chun himself is also hopeful.

Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light. He had already planned to rest for a day or two, but after defeating Cui Caozhi and getting this opportunity, he immediately returned to Yue's house to start retreat, wanting to grasp the feeling of sword qi piercing.

After this day, before the county exam, Li Chun did not show up again.

Until the morning of the county exam.

"You say, Xiao Li, can he break through the ninth level?"

At the door of the examination room, Ye Qin and Bailiyun whispered.

They hadn't seen Li Chun for the past two days, and they had no way of knowing his progress, and they were extremely curious.

At this time, it was already early hour, and the candidates began to enter the venue one after another, Bai Liyun and Ye Qin had different identities, so there was no need to worry, they were still drinking morning tea slowly, waiting for Li Chun to appear.

But as the red sun gradually moved in the middle, Li Chun never came out.

"Xiao Ye, you came out of Yue's Mansion and didn't see him?"

Bai Liyun was a little anxious, if he missed the time and couldn't enter the examination room, then Li Chunke would be blind, and he would have to waste three years in vain, and he would be able to take the exam again after three years.

"No," Ye Qin shook his head, "He lives alone in a small courtyard, and he has female dependents, so I don't dare to disturb ......"

The two of them glanced at each other, both worried about Li Chun, could it be that they had overslept? Or had they forgotten the time for practice?

This kid...... You won't be confused, will you? (To be continued......)
