Zhou Manyuan didn't care about Xu Yan, who kept walking towards him, he still focused on the stone tablet carved by his grandfather in front of him.

The stele records the great deeds of a great power who saved all the people in Shinomura at that time, which is now Wangchuan Castle a hundred years ago.

No one knows what the name of that great power is and where it comes from, because even Zhou Manyuan's grandfather, Zhou Jue, the founder of the Zhou family, doesn't know any information about that great power, but one thing is well documented, that is, the reason why the Zhou family became a later cultivation family, and even was given the famous sword red candle by the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, the origin of which is because Zhou Jue, who was only nine years old at the time, saw with his own eyes the merry feat of the powerful man who walked in the sky and opened the river with a sword.

It was precisely because of the incredible scene that left a deep shadow in the heart of the little child who was hiding in the crowd back then.

Zhou Manyuan opened his mouth and said: "You killed my son first, I can't turn a blind eye to this, but you are really kind, dare to come to my eyes so blatantly, if I don't do something for him, then I am really ashamed to be a father." Of course, the reason why I have come to trouble you this time is only because of the love of a father, and it has nothing to do with any other cause and effect. ”

When Xu Yan heard him say this, his face was silent, but he couldn't help but feel a burst of disdain in his heart, and he opened his mouth and replied: "Since the mouth is on your face, naturally everything is up to you." ”

Seeing Xu Yan's fearless look, Zhou Manyuan withdrew his gaze from the stone tablet, and then turned his head to look at the junior in front of him.

The appearance is delicate and young, this is the first impression Xu Yan brought to him, and then Xu Yan is far better than he imagined, not at all like his third son Zhou Xian said, the other party is a hateful-looking, disgusting appearance just by looking at it.

Zhou Manyuan looked at him very seriously, and he could roughly see that the other party should be a few years younger than his third son Zhou Xian in terms of age, but the latter's cultivation made him can't help but marvel and look sideways.

Zhou Manyuan opened his mouth and said: "Outsiders say that you are born with a Heavenly Spirit Root Physique, and you are an excellent sword training billet, according to this view, you really have an excellent cultivation root bone, otherwise it is impossible to cultivate to this level at a young age, but do you think that the current realm alone is enough for you to be arrogant in front of me with such an arrogant tone?"

Xu Yan sighed, and replied in a calm tone: "You people, there is really a lot of nonsense, if you want to fight, you will fight, if you don't want to fight, then give way early, I am pressed for time, but I don't have time to spend it with you here." ”

Zhou Manyuan's status is noble, and the identity of the future heir of the Zhou family alone is enough for countless people in the county to bow down to him and work for him, so since he was born, no one has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of him, but now he is being told by a young man who is not a weak crown that he has no time to spend with him, which makes him angry.

Zhou Manyuan's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said coldly: "Okay, very good, you are a descendant, you really ate the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, before you, no one has ever dared to say such a thing in front of me, you are the first, but since you are in a hurry, then I will fulfill you." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Manyuan stretched out his hand on the hilt of the red candle sword on his waist, and gently wiped it, followed by a flash of silver light, only to see that the red candle shot out of thin air towards Xu Yan not far away.

Seeing that the other party threw out his saber towards him in an instant, Xu Yan was not in a hurry at all, he controlled the martial arts true qi in his body, gathered it in his hand, and then aimed at the galloping red candle and blasted out with a punch.

There was a bang!

After Xu Yan's fist slashed the opponent's sword, a burst of golden light flashed immediately, and the red candle swept back in response.

Zhou Manyuan stretched out his hand to see the red candle, and he didn't feel the slightest surprise at this, because of this tentative sword, he never thought that he could sanction the other party, he said coldly: "Sure enough, there are two hits, no wonder you can kill my Yu'er." Without waiting for Xu Yan to say anything, he continued: "I admit that I didn't plan to kill you today, but for the next three swords, if you can't parry and something happens to you, then you can't blame me." ”

Xu Yan was silent after hearing this, purely when the other party was farting, after all, talking to this kind of person, he felt that it was a waste of lips and tongue.

After Zhou Manyuan finished speaking, he held the right hand of the red candle tightly, and waved it at Xu Yan.

A breeze suddenly rose.

Let the cold weather at the moment become even colder in a trance.

Xu Yan, who was only a dozen steps away from the other party, saw this scene, but the whole person instantly flew out and retreated, and at the same time as he retreated, he also controlled the martial arts true qi in his body, all of which converged in front of him.

There was a bang!

After the breeze, it was a majestic sword qi, and it slashed directly at Xu Yan, who had already swept out more than ten zhang.

If before, there was only a little flash of golden light, then at this moment, there was a sky of golden light that exploded in front of Xu Yan's body, and then dissipated.

A sword blasted away the opponent's martial arts true qi, Zhou Manyuan's face was not the slightest bit arrogant, but a little unbelievable, because he had only this sword, at least six points of strength, if it was just an ordinary five-rank martial artist, it would never be possible to take this move as calmly as Xu Yan.

"Your combat power seems to be at least one line higher than your cultivation, I have to say, you are really a cultivation genius. ”

Xu Yan didn't pay any attention to the other party's praise, so he still didn't answer, but in fact, in his heart, he also had a trace of jealousy, because the cultivation of the person in front of him, compared with that Li Ku's father, should be between the two and the middle, and they were only the slightest difference from the seven-story building.

If he faced a martial artist who was only half a foot away from the seven-rank realm, Xu Yan didn't have much fear, and even before, he had killed more than one with his own hands, but when facing the sword cultivation of the six-story peak, he was not very sure without using the sword qi given to him by Zhao Bailian.

Sword cultivation majored in killing qi, this is something that all cultivators in the world know, Xu Yan himself, as a person with a deep understanding of martial arts cultivation, naturally knows what kind of lethality will be caused to himself with the other party's level of sword cultivation under full strength, which is definitely not something that his current physique can compete with.

Seeing that Xu Yan was safe and sound, and walked back to him step by step, Zhou Manyuan was even more angry in his heart, and then said: "I want to see if you can really succeed in taking my three swords!"

As he spoke, when Xu Yan walked back to his original position, the red candle in Zhou Manyuan's hand moved again, but this time, it was not Zhou Manyuan who aimed at Xu Yan and waved his sword, but he threw the red candle in his hand directly into the air, and then used two fingers as a sword, controlling the red candle to flash like a streamer, and slashing at Xu Yan with a sword.

This kind of sword technique, Xu Yan is not the first time to see it, and he is even extremely familiar, because Zhou Xian used this kind of sword technique when he fought against him, but compared to Zhou Xian, his father Zhou Manyuan is obviously much older and spicier in mastering the sword technique.

A sword soared into the sky.

Zhou Manyuan controlled the red candle to draw a brilliant arc in mid-air, and then he heard a soft shout from his mouth: "Chop!"

As a result, on the body of Red Candle's sword, a sword qi instantly surged into a giant sword of more than ten zhang, and smashed down towards Xu Yan on the ground.

When Xu Yan saw this sword, his sword eyebrows frowned, it was obvious that the power of the other party's sword was much stronger than the previous sword, if he didn't show some real skills, he really couldn't deal with it.

Not daring to be careless, Xu Yan continued to control the martial arts true qi in his body, converging on his right hand, and then he turned his fist into a palm, took the giant sword in the air above him, and pushed it out with one palm.

A golden handprint flew out of Xu Yan's hand quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was like the opponent's sword qi, skyrocketing into dozens of zhang.

Looking at it from a distance, it was as if Xu Yan had grabbed the other party's giant sword with his palm.

On the top of a hill about four or five miles away from the Broken River Pavilion, there is a tall tower named Yingxing, and at the top of the Yingxing Tower, there is a middle-aged man standing.

The middle-aged man had a square face and a gourd hanging from his waist, it was Ah Shui who had been secretly protecting Xu Yan, but at this moment, after he saw Xu Yan use this chapter, he couldn't help but murmur: "Good boy, I didn't expect to be born in the Sword Sect, and I have a lot of achievements in martial arts, but I seem to remember that there is no such advanced martial arts cultivation in the sect, where did he learn this?"

Xu Yan didn't know that the battle between himself and Zhou Manyuan would be fully watched by Ah Shui, and it also made the other party have a kind of psychology of watching a good show at this moment, but even if he knew, he couldn't have any other choice, because the other party had already said that if it wasn't for the moment of life and death, he would never help.

The Destroying Mountain Palm finally met the red candle.

The sword qi and the handprint collided at a height of about fifty zhang in the air, and then exploded.

The sword qi in the sky exploded from high in the sky, and the four directions of the sky and the earth exploded instantly, transforming into invisible.

Accompanied by the sword qi, there was a huge mountain-destroying palm, which was also on the verge of shattering, and finally turned into countless golden rays of light, fluttering and falling from the sky, as if in this gloomy winter, a golden rain fell.

However, it was a pity that this countless golden light only lasted for a moment before losing all its brilliance.

After Xu Yan was sure that he had successfully defused the opponent's sword, he withdrew his gaze from the sky, and then focused his vision on Zhou Manyuan, who had already used two swords.

His face was calm, but he couldn't help but turn a little pale.

Wait for the opponent's third sword.

Zhou Manyuan saw that the other party was confronting him head-on and successfully took his second sword, and finally couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart, but because of this, he was finally completely inspired by the other party.

He reached out and controlled the red candle to fly back into his hand, and slashed out a sword again.

And just behind this sword, Xu Yan clearly felt that all the scenery in front of him suddenly changed!
