Shangguan Xiong was very surprised that Ebony was alone here, and he couldn't guess what the other party was playing for a while. He listened intently and concluded that there was no enemy ambush nearby.

"The enemy has all withdrawn, is it because they want to burn us to death in this Zixiao Palace?" Shangguan Xiong was shocked.

Then, he immediately denied this idea, first, Ebony is here, if he really wants that, he will not be able to escape this difficulty; second, Zixiao Palace is the Wudang Temple, as a disciple of Wudang, how can he bear to destroy it by himself? Thinking of this, he made up his mind.

But for Ebony's confident challenge, he was very nervous and uncertain. In fact, he hadn't seen Ebony for twenty-two years, and he felt that he was completely different from the person in his impression.

In his impression, Ebony was a gentle, modest, and even somewhat mediocre person, who by no means had the current momentum of acceptance.

He still clearly remembers that one year on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the six brothers accompanied Tianshui Zhenren to admire the moon, Tianshui Zhenren looked at the bright moon blankly for a long time, and suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Heaven and earth Yin and Yang, the foundation of Qiankun creation! Hey, a person's qualifications are born from the five elements, and they are destined to be born! For example, if you are a few senior brothers, when the wind wood and rotten wood are the highest, so you can get twice the result with half the effort when you practice; and the rest are all middle and upper qualifications, and when you practice, you often get twice the result with half the effort!" This is the result of the creation of Qiankun, and you can't force it the day after tomorrow!"

When Ebony and the other four heard this, they all glanced at the two of them with envy and lowered their heads in frustration.

Seeing their lost expressions, Tianshui Zhenren comforted: "Despite this, you all have to remember: high talent can only represent your own innate advantages, if you do not work hard, it is just a vain to live up to God's generous gift, and you will not be able to achieve great success; ”

However, Fengmu and Kuchiki have always worked hard, so no matter how hard the other four try, they can't catch up.

After the battle of encircling and suppressing the Tang Gate, among the three people who followed down the mountain to participate in the battle, only Ebony came back alive and unscathed, which surprised the three people including Kuchiki. According to Ebony himself, it was the master, uncle, Fengmu, and Akagi who desperately protected him and allowed him to escape this catastrophe.

After Tianshui Zhenren returned to the mountain, he was sad for a long time about the death of Fengmu and Akagi, especially Fengmu, who he loved the most. Because, Wudang can see from top to bottom that he is ready to pass on the position of head to the first master of this young generation.

Gradually, Tianshui Zhenren is particularly serious about ebony and has strict requirements, and ebony has become the most assidentious. Originally, Tianshui Zhenren used to tell them the truth that they were greedy and chewy, saying that each person's energy was limited, and it was best not to practice martial arts skills, which would lead to nothing;

But I don't know why, Ebony did the opposite, Wudang's various internal skills, fists, grappling, equipment, light skills, hidden weapons, etc., he learned everything, but none of them practiced outstandingly. But Tianshui Zhenren didn't seem to object, but seeing that his martial arts were progressing slowly, he was often so anxious that he secretly shook his head and sighed.

At that time, Wudang could see up and down again, and Tianshui Zhenren was preparing to pass on the position of head to Ebony this time.

For Tianshui Zhenren's intentions, not only is the rotten wood very dissatisfied, but many people don't understand it. However, among the disciples of the young generation of Wudang at that time, he was the longest in Wumu, and he was a veritable senior brother, and according to his qualifications, he should indeed inherit the position of the head of the family;

Kuchigi was different, he was a power-hungry man by nature, and among the younger generation of disciples at that time, he was recognized as the number one master.

While he was secretly unconvinced in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious. He suspected that maybe the master was hiding his own skills, and it wasn't as he said, except for the stunts of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion that they were watching, Wudang had no other stunts. He thought that it should be a mountain-shaking stunt that was only passed on to the master, and other disciples would not have the opportunity to cultivate at all.

But he couldn't be sure, because he had carefully read many Wudang classics, and had never found a record of Wudang's other stunts; moreover, he often quietly observed, and never saw the master or master perform other stunts; he had also secretly inquired and never got any news about this.

At first, he suspected that he was deliberately hiding his martial arts, and he was unwilling to compete with his junior disciples with real swords and guns, so as not to expose his own strength, so he secretly found several opportunities, and when he was fighting with him, he suddenly killed the killer, forcing him to save the danger with his real strength. Unexpectedly, these few times he was killed in a mess, and if he hadn't stopped in time, he would have been injured.

As a result, he no longer had any doubts in this regard, but he was always obsessed with his master's preference for ebony.

For nearly seventy years since the death of Ning Yangwu of the Huashan faction, no one has ever been able to recognize the title of "Sword King" by the people in the martial arts. To his surprise, in the past ten years, Ebony's name has been in full swing, and he has been honored as the "Sword King" by people in the martial arts.

Whenever he heard those words that touted ebony to the sky, he didn't think so. He always felt that those people were shocked by the name of the Wudang faction and exaggerated. Because, he knows Ebony's qualifications and true strength very well, and he expects that with these years of hard work, coupled with the cultivation of the first palm of the family martial arts "Iron Palm Divine Skill", Ebony should be beyond reach.

But these days, Miao Yuanzhen has mentioned ebony's martial arts to him twice, saying that his martial arts are really superb, and he is the best in the world. This couldn't help but make him suspect that Wudang really had a mountain-shaking stunt, and his confidence in his victory was shaken.

"Old Zamao, now that you have been besieged by us, you don't have the right to draw out the way!" Teng Haiming held his hands with two hammers, looking like he was about to come out, if it weren't for Shangguan Xiong's order, the meteor hammer in his hand would have already taken off his hand and smashed down on the ebony.

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly saw the dead wood turn his head sideways, and a scorching gaze shot down at him like lightning, and he immediately felt that his chest seemed to be pierced, and he trembled in frustration, his feet were soft, and he involuntarily "kicked" two steps back.

The rest of the people who were surrounded on all sides also immediately felt the murderous aura of the ebony grit, and their hearts tightened, and they subconsciously took half a step back, protecting their blades in front of their chests, and waited with bated breath.

"Shangguan Xiong, do you dare?" Ebony interrupted Shangguan Xiong's thoughts.

Shangguan Xiong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he quickly suppressed the anger in his chest, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and swallowed the promise of responding to the battle that he was about to blurt out back into his stomach, his face was ugly for a while, and he was silent.

Although he has a tough personality, he is actually very scheming, and he is by no means a reckless person. Years of tempering in the rivers and lakes have long worn out his former flying and free edge, and now he has become like a warm ancient jade in the deep mountains, gentle and quiet. What's more, the life and death of thousands of brothers are tied to honor and disgrace, as long as they make a mistake and take half a wrong step, they are likely to step into the abyss of no return, how can they not be cautious?

He really didn't know the odds of winning for Ebony, and he rarely took risks in uncertain battles. He knew that Ebony was using the method of agitation, just like when he had made an appointment with Shang Xiaotian.

"Hahaha!" Ebony laughed loudly, "Shangguan Xiong, Shangguan Xiong, I didn't expect that now you have become so timid and cowardly, which really disappoints Poor Dao!"

"Ebony, save that heart as soon as possible! I, Shangguan Xiong, never take the radical method!" Shangguan Xiong sneered.

"I knew you wouldn't dare!" The corners of Ebony's mouth flashed a contemptuous sneer, and he squinted at him and said: "The reason why you dare to challenge Senior Brother Shang one-on-one is just to bully him and beat you! Hehe, in my opinion, you are just a vicious villain who bullies the soft and fears the hard, and picks soft persimmons to pinch them, where is he worthy of being a hero?!"

Shangguan Xiong was furious, although he knew that it was a radical general, but in front of so many subordinates and Jinyi Guard, he was contemptuously ridiculed by Ebony one after another, how could he hold on to his face? How could he have prestige and convince the public in the future? His mind was racing, Ebony did not decide the success or failure of both sides by victory or defeat, even if he lost, with his own martial arts, he should be able to protect himself for a while. As long as it survives for a while, everyone can rush up, and at that time, even if Ebony has the world's magic skills, it will be difficult to defeat the masters.

Thinking of this, Lang Sheng shouted angrily: "Ebony! Don't be rampant! I, Shangguanxiong, have come to take your dog's life with my own hands when I go up the mountain this time, how can I be afraid that you will not succeed? Okay, I accept your challenge!"

When Bai Zhanhong heard this, he hurriedly grabbed him and dissuaded him: "Alliance leader, with this kind of unworthy martial arts scum, what are the rules of the rivers and lakes?

Ebony crossed his arms and seemed to be deaf to these words, the corners of his mouth were sneering, and his eyes were burning at Shangguan Xiong.

"Don't say any more! The leader of this alliance has made up his mind!" Shangguan Xiong pushed Bai Zhanhong's hand away, "It's narrow here, let's go outside!"

"Good!" Ebony turned and strode out of the hall. The people around him glanced at Shangguan Xiong and gave way one after another.

Ebony calmly descended the stone steps, walked briskly to the middle of the courtyard and stood still, and slowly turned around. Shangguan Xiong followed behind him unhurriedly, stopping more than half a distance away from him.

When the gang outside heard that the alliance leader was fighting a one-on-one duel with Ebony, they were nervous and excited, and immediately gave up a large circle and surrounded the two of them in the inner three layers and the outer three layers in the core. The group of masters who came out stood a few feet behind Shangguan Xiong, arranged in an arc, in case he was in danger.

Bai Zhanhong was afraid that the enemy would ambush and kill, so he ordered the gangs on the periphery to be on guard everywhere, and after arranging a stop, he returned to the circle and stood among the masters of the guard.

A few days ago, everyone saw Shangguan Xiong show his might and kill Shang Xiaotian and Yao Yuan, who were outstanding in martial arts, and they were full of confidence, and when they saw this calm and unfathomable old man, and were shocked by his prestige in the martial arts, they were worried in their hearts, and they all sweated for Shangguan Xiong. But to be able to witness the life-and-death struggle between the two top masters of today's martial arts, there will definitely be many strange tricks from the hands of the two, and they are all excited and inexplicable, watching the battle with bated breath.

※※※

"Take my 'Chixiao' sword!" Shangguan Xiong said with a solemn expression.

One of the gang members held an antique sword in both hands and presented it to him respectfully.

Shangguan Xiong gently took it, slowly pulled out the sword, handed the scabbard to the gang, and motioned for him to retreat quickly.

The horizontal sword blade on his chest is like frost and snow, and the cold light is pressing, this 'Chixiao' sword, which has been abandoned by him for more than ten years, finally comes in handy again today.

Against Shang Xiaotian, he didn't need to give his all and didn't need to activate it to have confidence that he would win, but against Ebony was different, he had to give it his all.

Ebony slowly pulled out his long sword from behind his back, and the tip of the sword pointed to the ground, standing tall. Although it was just an ordinary stainless steel sword in their hands, everyone felt strongly the fierce murderous aura emanating from the sword.

Shangguan thought about it: Shang Xiaotian's martial arts characteristics are similar to those of those years, more than fierce, not enough dexterity, although he has improved a lot in the past 20 years, but the gap with himself is getting bigger and bigger...... But what were the characteristics of Ebony's martial arts back then? Thinking about it carefully, he didn't have any strengths: whether it was internal strength, fist palm, or light skill, it was inferior to Fengmu and himself; as for swordsmanship, it seems that it was not as good as Shang Xiaotian's, and as for grasping and concealing skills, it was probably inferior to Chimu and Deadwood...... Hmph, the guy who can do anything, but is not good at anything, is still afraid of what he will do!

Despite this, he still didn't dare to attack rashly, just stared at the tip of the ebony sword, ready to attack.

"Hmph, are you cowardly, take it!" Seeing that he was reluctant to make a move, Ebony also secretly praised him in his heart for being really calm, but he really appreciated the essence of Taoist martial arts with static braking. So he took two steps forward, and a style of "one breath was thick", which seemed to be virtual and real, and the sword light rippled into a circle, and suddenly stabbed him in the throat.

Shangguan's ambition was down, and his wrist was resolved with a "antelope hanging horn", not waiting for the sword body to intersect, and the five elements of the body method had been unfolded, moving horizontally like electricity, and the sword was like a spiritual snake out of the hole, piercing the left rib of the ebony.

Kankan stabbed out half, and with a "dang" sound, his wrist shook, and he was already defused by the opponent with a move "Tai Chi Zhongfen". The ebony sword is not stopping, and it is like a cloud of water in a move to "clear qi up", the sword qi is confused, it seems to be slow and fast, and it has reached three inches in Shangguan Xiong's chest in the blink of an eye.

Shangguan Xiong hurriedly sealed the sword circle, narrowly sealing, and at the same time, his body retreated five feet before he got out of the scope covered by this move. He was horrified in his heart, the other party just used the three most ordinary moves in the "Clear Void Sword Technique", and the power was so powerful, it was really terrifying.

Ebony was merciless, slid like a shadow, and the sword light fell on Shangguan Xiong, Shangguan Xiong cheered up, calmly responded to the battle, in the blink of an eye, the two fought more than ten moves, Shangguan Xiong retreated violently, and he was unable to fight back.

Few people in the audience could see the figures of the two clearly, but they saw a blue-gray figure tightly wrapped around a purple figure, flying vertically and horizontally like a hurricane, and the cold air was permeated. Everyone felt that the strong wind was blowing and their faces were painful, and their sword qi was skull, and they all stood unsteadily, and their bodies involuntarily retreated backwards.

In a short time, the two had fought more than 50 moves. Shangguan Xiong urged his divine skills again and again, wanting to use the sharp edge of the sword to cut off the opponent's long sword, but the ebony sword body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of greasy silk, and there was nowhere to focus at all, of course, he couldn't suppress his sword momentum like a storm and waves.

The ebony sword moves are dense, sometimes soft and sometimes rigid, connecting all kinds of Wudang swordsmanship as if it were natural, and the ghostly killing moves are endless. Fortunately, Shangguan Xiong made outstanding achievements, and he responded to the battle with the mentality of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, so although he was unable to fight back, he was not defeated for a while.

After fighting hundreds of moves, Shangguan Xiong saw that none of the martial arts used by Ebony were stored in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and finally believed the words of Tianshui Zhenren - Wudang really has no other shocking skills.

But he vaguely understood a truth - this may be the real Wudang stunt, that is, persistently cultivating the various stunts of Wudang, and integrating them and applying them flexibly, you can turn ordinary martial arts into unpredictable tricks.

He even suspected that even if Senior Brother Fengmu was still alive, it would be difficult for his martial arts achievements to reach the heights that Ebony has now. He wasn't sure if Ebony understood this truth back then, but he was sure that his master Tianshui Zhenren didn't understand this truth, so he was far inferior to Ebony in martial arts.

After fighting dozens of moves, Shangguan Xiong gradually felt that his breath was slightly suffocated, but the ebony breathed evenly and his strength was long, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: "This ebony's swordsmanship and internal strength have entered the transformation realm, and if you fight like this, you will definitely lose...... I can't say it, I can only take risks, and strive to be able to turn defeat into victory with the Iron Palm God!"

So he no longer blindly dodged, rose up to twelve successful forces, the sword body was full of true qi and hard blocking, the left palm was soft and rigid, sometimes like a butterfly, sometimes like a dragon out of the sea, close to attack.

Although Ebony learned the news of Shangguan Xiong's family iron palm magic from Qu Fengkou, he was not very suitable for a while under such a fantastic palm technique, and soon he couldn't suppress his opponent and was attacked by Shangguan Xiong.

In the battle, Ebony was a little slower, and was hit in the left shoulder by Shangguan Xiong's "Peng" palm, and staggered back. Shangguan Xiong shouted, chased after him, and with a "folding plum hand" in his left hand, he grabbed the sword body that was stabbed in the chest, and the sword in his right hand slashed at Ebony's arm.

Suddenly, the sword body slipped and did not leave his hand, and at the same time, his fingers shook violently, and a soft but powerful force came from the sword, and his heart was numb, and he was unable to cut off the sword in his hand like an electric shock, and he hurriedly abandoned the opponent's long sword and came out vertically.

The ebony meteor chased after him like the moon, and a white rainbow went straight to his throat.

In the screams of everyone, seeing that his throat was about to be pierced, Shangguan Xiong suddenly abandoned the sword, slapped his palms, clamped the long sword steadily, his right foot came out, and the lightning kicked on the sword body that could fall to the ground, and the sword suddenly changed from straight to horizontal, and shot towards the ebony lower abdomen with a "boom".

This is one of the few serial killing moves in the iron palm magic skill, the sword between the two palms is called "Heaven and Earth", and the kick of the sword is called "Huangquan Kill".

The two were too close to each other, and when Ebony was shocked, he was about to reach his lower abdomen, but he reacted very quickly, and his body suddenly changed from straight to horizontal, and the sword grazed his lower abdomen with a "boom". One of the gang members was unable to react, and was shot in the left waist, snorted, and fell to the ground on his back.

Shangguan Xiong shouted violently, grabbed the long sword with his hand, shook his wrists and turned the sword body, and with a dip in his right hand, he had already grabbed the hilt of the sword, and a sharp sword light slashed down towards the ebony in mid-air.

Ebony suddenly felt that the sword qi was cracking, and he suddenly took a breath of true qi, and suddenly floated three feet horizontally like catkins, dodging the opponent's inevitable sword. Shangguan Xiong didn't expect that Ebony was so superb, he was stunned, and immediately came back to his senses, and the long sword attacked like a storm, and he would never allow Ebony to take a breath.

Ebony was not afraid, his left hand pierced through the sword net like lightning, snatched his wrist with his upper Qing grapple, and swiped his right palm lightly, turning the Taiyi dust method into palm power, and directly attacked Shangguan Xiong's left ribs like a crack.

Shangguan Xiong didn't expect that Ebony's grappling hands and palm skills were so outstanding, he was taken aback and retreated three feet. Ebony flew like a fright, and a lightning-bolted palm slashed down on his chest.

Shangguan Xiong couldn't avoid it, he shouted, the black gas of his left palm was great, and the sound of "Peng" slapped with ebony, but he felt like he hit a rhinoceros that rushed over, and he took three steps back before he stood firm.

The ebony was unforgiving, and with both palms together, he chased after him like a storm and pushed it down. Shangguan Xiong was ruthless, abandoned the long sword, gritted his steel teeth, and transported twelve iron palms, and the black qi of his palms gathered violently, facing the coming palms.

There was a loud "bang", and the stones flew away. The two of them each staggered back a step, their arms numb.

"Split silk hand! Piercing cloud palm!" Shangguan Xiong looked like a mad tiger, rubbing his body up, his palms whirlwind conjured up the shadow of the Dao Dao, and suddenly turned his palms into grasps, and the divine dragon suddenly clasped Ebony's right wrist.

"Jiang Hai Flip! Qiankun Chop!" Shangguan Xiong let out a thunderclap-like roar, flipped his right wrist, and turned the ebony body like a windmill, and with a "roar", a hand knife slashed down at his right arm.

On the same day, Shang Xiaotian was seriously injured under this earth-shattering knife, and then died!

Everyone saw Shangguan Xiong's passivity before, and they all raised their hearts to their throats, and suddenly saw that the alliance leader showed his might, and the old trick was repeated, and the tragedy would be repeated on Ebony, and they couldn't help but cheer.
