The third day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the cold winter wax moon.

The wind was cold, and a few residual leaves were fluttering and falling in the wind.

Lu Chen stood on the edge of the empty cliff in the back mountain, stretched out his hand and gently pinched a dead leaf, his eyes were vicissitudes, and he whispered to himself: "Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, time flies!"

Unconsciously, the time limit for the gambling contract with Li Mengjun was one step closer, recalling the high-spirited back then, until now, the wind is light and cloudy, and the colon is turned, and the center of it is sour and unclear.

Lu Chen didn't dare to relax for half a minute over the years, he has been working hard, hard, and practicing very hard, in order to forget the scars in his heart and constantly reflect on his own shortcomings.

He pulled out the soft sword, and with a flick of his fingers, the blade trembled slightly, making a crisp tremor sound, which was very pleasant.

In the battle of Longyanggang, Lu Chen benefited a lot, not only learned all the moves of the Ruyi Sword Classic, but also created his own 'Thunder' sword, his talent is amazing and decisive, not inferior to his ancestor Lu Xuanfeng back then!

Observing the thunder and lightning cutting through the sky, accumulating thick and thin, and blessing the soul, this sword contains the perception accumulated by Lu Chen's penance for several years, and its power is comparable to the full force of the peak of the day after tomorrow, and it can even threaten the innate powerhouse. With his continuous understanding, self-creation and improvement, slowly, a new kendo that belongs to him appeared.

"I have fully comprehended the first six forms of the Shadow Dance Phantom Sword Duel, but what kind of sword intent does this seventh form contain?"

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny!

"Could it be that this trick has something to do with the moon?" Lu Chen looked up at the starry sky, the clouds were full of mist, the starlight was dim, and the silver moon was nowhere to be seen.

"It's a pity that there is fog, you can't see the moonlight, and naturally you can't comprehend the mystery, it seems that you can only choose another day to cultivate!" Lu Chen sighed lightly, and had to turn around and go down the mountain.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Chen sat on the edge of the cliff and practiced the 'Golden Toad Breathing Technique', his mouth and nose were slightly open, his five hearts were facing the sky, and his mind was calm in a wonderful 'realm of self-forgetfulness', and the aura of heaven and earth wrapped around him like a whirlpool, washing his muscles and veins with a strange rhythm.

With the accumulation of a long time, his eight meridians, twelve canons, and some small branch veins were gradually opened, forming a circulating channel that runs through everywhere in the body, including the face, the back of the hands, and the instep of the feet, which makes him transform his internal strength in the future and explode his internal strength more quickly.

However, at this time, the arrival of a young man with a grim expression suddenly broke the previous silence of the Qinglong Temple.

"Who is Lu Chen, come out for me!" The young man came to the Qinglong Courtyard and roared, resounding in all directions.

The voice of the young man was very loud, obviously doing it on purpose, and it spread throughout the entire Qinglong Academy at once, and immediately attracted the attention of countless Sword Sect disciples.

He was dressed in a purple robe, wearing a silver-white crown, quite a bit of a jade tree facing the wind, and carrying a delicate golden-white sword, which attracted the hot eyes of many female disciples, and the only thing that made people feel uncomfortable was his cyan eyes with a ruthless aura.

"Who is this, yelling all morning!"

"Looking for Senior Brother Lu Chen, go and have a look!"

"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Su Xingbai?"

Sure enough, this young man with a gloomy expression is Su Xingbai, Lu Chen has only been in the Sword Sect for less than three months, and he has never known him, and now he is looking for Lu Chen by name, it seems that he is quite angry, and something unpleasant must have happened to both sides, which has attracted countless people to speculate.

"Are you looking for me?" A hearty voice sounded, and then Lu Chen's figure slowly walked out of the crowd.

Su Xingbai glanced at Lu Chen, and saw that he was magnificent, handsome, and the whole person invisibly exuded a faint sense of oppression, and the contempt when he first came suddenly faded.

"I heard that you recently went down the mountain with Senior Sister to practice, and you saved her from danger three times and twice, I specially came to thank you!" Su Xingbai said lightly. The implication is that he has a great relationship with Murong Ziyun.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then quipped: "Thank me, how can I be grateful, I don't know what your relationship with Senior Sister is!"

"Senior sister and I are childhood sweethearts, we have grown up together since childhood, and we have a deep relationship, if you save her, you will save me, so naturally I have to thank you!" Su Xingbai said with his hands behind his back and in a cold voice.

Lu Chen smiled: "Then how should you be grateful to me?"

"If you want a panacea, the secret of internal strength, even if you mention it, as long as I do it, I will do my best!" Su Xingbai said in a high-spirited tone.

"Senior Sister has already told me what you said!" Lu Chen said.

Su Xingbai squinted his eyes and asked, "Then how did you reply!"

"I want Senior Sister to plan to make a promise!" Lu Chen teased with a smile on his sword with both hands.

Su Xingbai's expression instantly became gloomy: "Boy, you are talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will kill you! I have long heard that Zhang Shaoling came back and said that you are plotting against the senior sister, it turns out that there is really such a thing, it seems that you are quite scheming, the senior sister has come back in the past few days and is depressed, and you must have done something sorry for her! I advise you, it is better to die this heart, how respected the status of the senior sister is, how can she look at such a lowly person as you." ”

Su Xingbai admires Murong Ziyun, and in the entire sect, he is already Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it. After all, the two grew up together since childhood, and it is needless to say that they have a deep relationship, the key is that Su Xingbai's talent and strength look at the entire Sword Sect, he is definitely a top-notch son of heaven, and he is indeed qualified to be worthy of Murong Ziyun, the daughter of the sect master, he has long regarded the other party as his private property, and will never tolerate others getting involved.

Of course, the motivation for Su Xingbai to work so hard and so diligently in the Sword Sect, and to always rank first on the Heavenly Sword List, is also dedicated to being worthy of Murong Ziyun.

It's a pity that Luohua is intentionally ruthless, although Su Xingbai has shown extremely high talent and strength in the Sword Sect over the years, the purpose is to gain the appreciation of the sect master, but he can't win Murong Ziyun's favor.

But Su Xingbai never gave up the idea of pursuing the senior sister, he not only has tenacious perseverance in martial arts, but also very resolute in the pursuit of women, he only believes that the senior sister will be his wife in the future, and has never shown a smile to other female disciples. But the senior sister showed him a smile, and he could be excited for days.

But when I see the senior sister depressed and unhappy, I will feel an inexplicable irritability in my heart, and I will think crankily all day long, whether the senior sister has someone else in her heart, or what grievances she has suffered outside. For him, the senior sister is more important than his achievements in martial arts.

It is very painful to figure out a woman's mind, let alone a woman of noble status. Su Xingbai has extremely high achievements in martial arts, but he is far inferior to other disciples in the pursuit of women. He was always afraid that others would snatch the senior sister away, so every time he heard that a man appeared next to the senior sister, he would inexplicably feel a burst of vigilance in his heart.

It was a normal thing for Senior Sister and Lu Chen to go out to practice together, but at that time, Su Xingbai had been practicing outside, and he had heard about it, so he didn't care, even if he was worried about Senior Sister, it was impossible for him to revolve around Senior Sister every day! No matter how narrow Su Xingbai's qi was, it was impossible for him to be so narrow, so he didn't take it to heart. However, after Zhang Shaoling came back, it was spread everywhere that the senior sister and Lu Chen disappeared for nearly half a month in order to track the drought, and after they came back, the two were intimate in words and deeds, and their actions were ambiguous, which made Su Xingbai, who loved the senior sister with all his heart, suddenly angry, so there was this scene.

"Zhang Shaoling?" Lu Chen frowned, and said in his heart: "It turned out that this guy spread rumors, but he would fan the flames and add fuel to the fire, it was originally a groundless thing, but he said it was so good, this guy's kung fu at chewing the root of his tongue is really powerful, using Su Xingbai to deal with me, so as to take revenge for not saving him that day?" That night, when Zhang Shaoling was besieged by the drought, Lu Chen did not help, but he was afraid that Zhang Shaoling would hold a grudge at that time, so as soon as he came back, he chewed the root of his tongue.

After coming into contact with Zhang Shaoling, Lu Chen naturally knew the virtue of this person. Although there are many genius disciples in the Sword Sect, there are also many people with various mental natures.

"I am lowly, where are you noble? Besides, what does Senior Sister have to do with me, and what does it have to do with you?" Lu Chen sneered, Su Xingbai's domineering attitude made him very unhappy.

Although you are the pride of the sky in the Sword Sect, looking at the entire Kyushu Continent, you are only the existence at the bottom, and you have no qualifications to be proud in front of me.

"Hmph, if Senior Sister is unhappy, it means that I am not happy, her business is my business, offend her, what do you say!" Su Xingbai snorted coldly, his sword eyebrows raised upward, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Lu Chen said in a deep voice: "Su Xingbai, are you too self-righteous?"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were in an uproar, and Lu Chen actually dared to contradict Su Xingbai, so bold. This Su Xingbai is the peerless genius ranked first on the Heavenly Sword List, and among the younger generation, he is undoubtedly the most dazzling type of person in the Sword Sect.

And Lu Chen is just a newcomer who has been here for less than three months, although he has emerged in the ranking battle, but this is not enough to become the capital for him to speak wildly. Being able to confront Su Xingbai in front of everyone, this kind of demeanor made many disciples of the Qinglong Academy secretly amazed, worthy of being the leader of the Qinglong Academy, with a little talent, he could speak so arrogantly.

When Su Xingbai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Lu Chen, you elite disciple dare to contradict me, what kind of courage do you have, talk to me in this tone." Today I will teach you a good lesson, so that you know what is a gap and what is dignity and humility!"

When the words fell, Su Xingbai kicked the ground on his toes, jumped into the air, and quickly rushed towards Lu Chen, his right hand swam rapidly in mid-air like a snake, and his palm condensed a strong internal strength, and there was a faint sound of cracking the sky, and then he slapped Lu Chen with a palm in the air, and then a low shout sounded: "You Longzhang!"

Lu Chen's expression was solemn, the soles of his feet stepped on the ground, and the whole person flew back lightly, like a flying leaf, lightly filling, as if there was nothing.

With the sound of 'Peng', the surface where Lu Chen's original location was originally located exploded instantly, forming a basin-sized pit, and the soil was flying all over the sky.
