Ah Diao carried the ancient knife on his shoulder, took out the wine gourd on his waist and began to drink.

He reverted to his previous posture, shaking his legs and crooking his neck, and the hat was worn high on his head, covering the ends of his hair and his eyes that were only drunk.

The already tattered linen clothes on his body have long been riddled with holes, the straw sandals under his feet have been covered with mud, and his body is covered with sword marks of different shades.

A piece of scribble.

If you rely only on this body, you are a beggar.

Ah Diao took a sip of strong wine, exhaled a breath very satisfied, and after a night of fierce fighting, the knife was still there, so he didn't feel tired, and the wine entered his throat, and he was even more energetic.

He grinned and said, "If you can hold up to my 20,000th sword every time you fight, the sword qi accumulated at that time has indeed reached the edge of the Five Realms Merge. But if I really fight with the Five Realms cultivators to the death, I'm afraid that the other party won't let me last to the 20,000th sword at all. ”

Ah Diao laughed twice, he suddenly glanced at the long sword in Baili Duanjiang's hand, and then continued: "That is, you, the sword intent is monstrous, and the murderous aura is full, you can obviously swing the last sword shadow that reaches the sky earlier, but you want to fight a protracted battle with me." My sword strength is stronger and stronger, your sword intent pays attention to killing with one blow, you attack my strength with your own weakness, this conceit alone makes me a little admired, worthy of the sword from the Nanshan hills. ”

As soon as this sentence fell, Baili Duanjiang's cold face suddenly turned red, and a rare trace of shame appeared on his face.

He wanted to kill with one blow, but let his sword intent stream invade all night, even if he left a lot of scars on the opponent's body, he couldn't really break through the opponent's sword momentum, and he couldn't hurt the roots, so he naturally couldn't win.

In a battle in front of the Tiandi Divine Courtyard that day, the reckless young man got up with a knife and defeated the sword of the Baili Broken River.

In that battle, the hundred miles of the river were a little light, although the sword intent rose, the killing intent was not heavy, and there was still a reason for the defeat.

It's just that in this battle, Baili Duanjiang, whether it is killing intent or sword intent, is almost the pinnacle of life cultivation, and at the same age he thinks he is invincible, but Ah Diao defeated him again.

The proud Baili Duanjiang met the more proud Ah Diao, and the proud long sword met the more proud knife.

It seemed to be a fateful duel, which made this descendant of the Sword Saint from the hills of Nanshan feel the deep malice brought to him by this world.

In the cold wind, Baili Broken River was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "You obviously have the opportunity to cut off my sword, why do you want to take back the last sword?"

Ah Diao tilted his head, took a sip of wine with a smile, and asked, "If my knife falls, you will die." ”

Baili Duanjiang clenched his long sword indifferently and frowned.

Ah Diao quickly asked again: "What good is it for me that you are dead?"

Baili Duanjiang raised his head and said in a condensed voice: "This Xuanwu list selection has been witnessed by tens of millions of people, and the world has attracted attention, if you defeat or even kill me here, I am afraid that my fame and prestige will only surpass everyone at the same age in the future, even if the other three saints will not be able to catch up." There's an honor, you don't care?"

Ah Diao laughed and grinned: "Fame is the most bullshit, so I won't take it to heart." Only those of you who came out of the Holy Gate, who have always been high and have a very high heart, will take it seriously. ”

Speaking of this, Ah Diao shook the wine gourd in his hand, there was not much wine, so he tied it back to his waist, then held the handle of the knife in his right hand, held the scabbard in his left hand, and put the ancient knife from his shoulders to the back of his neck, and then covered the knife with both hands, shaking his body lazily, as if he was bored.

He continued: "Fighting is such a thing, you can fight if you can fight, and you can run if you can't fight, like you, you carry too many things, and you know that you are invincible and stupidly stop in place and wait for death, in your own opinion, it is the will to keep Nanshan Kendo, but in my opinion, it looks like an idiot. ”

Baili Duanjiang's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said, "There are always some things that are more important than life...... Your sword path is unstoppable, with the meaning of life and death, with your age, to be able to realize the sword technique to such a realm, in addition to the amazing talent, there must also be an experience that ordinary people can hardly bear. Although you have no heart on the surface, I believe that it is not the real you. ”

Speaking of this, Baili Duanjiang paused slightly, and then added: "Maybe the seriousness you show when you swing the knife out is your true attitude towards this world." ”

Ah Diao's eyes were drunk, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slightly retracted after hearing this, and his mood was slightly low, as if he recalled some past events in Kunlun City.

It was only soon that he raised his eyebrows and continued to smile: "You know that it will be unlucky to break a person's mind like this. ”

Baili Duanjiang put the long sword behind him, and he laughed for the first time, and he said simply: "At most, one death." ”

"If you die, you will have a long road in the future, who will I practice knife with?"

Ah Diao suddenly put down the knife, with a bit of clarity and seriousness in his drunken eyes, he said: "The reckless body also has a heart to knock on the holy door, one day, I will let you see that the young man in the world can swing the knife and go straight to the seven realms without entering the Five Holy Lands." Until then, you and I will only have to chase after each other, regardless of life and death, only by sword. ”

These words are not loud and thick, but they are extremely serious.

Ah Diao is rarely serious, but Baili Duanjiang is a little uncomfortable, he said: "This is the real reason why you don't fall the knife?"

"Perhaps, the most important thing is, if you really die under my sword, your Sword Saint Master will not be able to kill me with a single sword?"

Ah Diao broke his skills in a second, and the corners of his mouth instantly showed an uninhibited smile, and he smiled: "I'm very afraid of death!"

Baili Duanjiang was a little speechless.

The gloomy mood gradually became clear because of Ah Diao's words, and he suddenly stretched out his right hand and said: "As you said, from now on, you and I will not care about life and death, only about swords." You're still the target I need to defeat on my sword journey. ”

These words come from the heart.

In fact, between him and Ah Diao, since the moment they first met, it has always been just a fateful battle of swords, and there has never been a personal grudge.

Ah Diao held the knife in his left hand instead, and also stretched out his right hand, shook it, and said: "It's hard to imagine that a proud and sharp person like you would say such a thing. Can I pretend you're courting me?"

Baili Duanjiang was silent for a moment, and said, "Because after two battles, I know that you are more proud and sharper than me. ”

He glanced at the long sword in his hand and sighed, "Although I am from the South Mountain and the hills, I am destined to be noticed by the world from the moment I was born. But he ignored one point, before the Sword Saint Master established himself in the Holy Gate, he also came from the recklessness of the world. The saint became a saint because he was able to climb all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top, not because he was born on top of the top like me. So in a sense, you are indeed more proud than I am. ”

The reckless boy and the saint shook hands calmly in the deep forest.

It's hard to imagine that the two of them just had a life-and-death fight last night.

The three of the ruthless fairy master and apprentice couldn't really hear it from a distance, and they only saw them shaking hands with each other, and they couldn't believe it for a while.

When the wind became more urgent, the two teenagers withdrew their hands and returned, one holding the knife and the other covering the sword.

Time passed, and they pointed out to each other with their swords between the battlefield remnants in the forest, and exchanged enthusiastically, and those who didn't know thought they were friends for many years.

Later, the sun was getting stronger, Ah Diao looked up at the sky, and felt a little dazzling, so he pressed the hat on his head slightly to cover his eyes, he raised the ancient knife in his hand, and said: "After going out of the Jiangshan Society, the people who have survived the past few years still have a battle, and at that time, your sword and my knife will always touch." ”

Baili Duanjiang stroked the sword and smiled: "You don't have to wait until you go out, just tell me where you live, I will go to you to fight if my swordsmanship has improved a little in the past few years." ”

Ah Diao took a few steps back and shouted: "No, I don't have enough time, I swing the knife 20,000 times a day, and it's noon after the practice." Besides, there are quite a few young masters who have participated in the Xuanwu List this time, and there are several saints who are as famous as you, so I want to keep my energy to deal with them. ”

Baili Duanjiang asked in a condensed voice, "You really want to win?"

Diao rolled his eyes and said, "You don't want to win?"

"I'm not interested in the seventh floor of the seminary, and I'm not interested in the three-year teachings of the gods and gods. ”

Baili Duanjiang said: "Before last night, the purpose of my participation in the Xuanwu List selection was just to defeat you in front of tens of millions of people, and then ......"

Ah Diao interrupted him: "Since you don't want to win, you don't have to fight with me, and when you get tired of playing in this Jiangshan Society, you can pat your ass and leave." I promise to accompany you to fight well after I get the first place on the Xuanwu list, no, ten fights!"

Baili Duanjiang was a little speechless, he waved his hand and said, "Before leaving, I can help you get rid of some people." ”

Ah Diao became interested in an instant, he held the ancient knife and thought about it, and quickly said: "That little Taoist priest from the East China Sea knows how to recite Daozang all day long, not like a person with real skills, don't worry about him." There are a lot of crooked little monks from the Western Regions Temple, and if they really want to fight, they shouldn't be my opponents. If you really want to talk about it, the Demon Saint heir who has a black face all day and has been hiding in the Divine Courtyard to control the beast and fight with the beast is very capable of fighting, although I am not afraid of him, but it is also a trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Ah Diao glanced at Baili Duanjiang very strangely, and asked tentatively, "Can you help me get rid of him?"

Baili Broken River sword roared softly, was silent for a moment, and said truthfully: "I couldn't beat it before, but it's hard to say now." ”

As soon as the words fell, before Ah Diao could reply, a low and hoarse voice outside the deep forest suddenly sounded: "It's hard to say, I won't know until I beat it." ”
