Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 25 A sword runs through Changhong
After Xu Yan returned to Liuyun Courtyard, he still felt a little absurd about his luck in his heart, could it be that he was born with the first life to appear?
When the cardinal who was cooking dinner saw him come back, he looked sad, and couldn't help but quip: "Yo, look at your decay, did you draw a strong opponent? Or did you step on shit again and draw the first lottery?"
Xu Yan took a sip of tea, sighed with a blurred look in his eyes, and replied weakly: "The one in the back." ”
When the cardinal heard this, she couldn't help but smile because she was very cold, but soon she took away the smile on her face, so that Xu Yan didn't see it, she hesitated for a moment, and said in a calm tone: "Actually, it's not bad to be the first to appear, with your strength, as long as you don't meet an inner disciple like Zhou Xian, you should be able to easily solve the opponent, don't you just take some time to come back to cultivate?"
Xu Yan glanced at her with a somewhat smug expression at the moment, but felt a chill in her back.
He recalled that in the past three days, because he wanted to try the sword with the other party on the spur of the moment, but he almost didn't cut off the other party's head, he had palpitations, although he knew that the other party's strength must be stronger than him, but he was far from thinking that this cardinal, who looked delicate and had a somewhat strong personality, would be so strong that he felt suffocated.
For example, she just picked up a broken branch of peach wood that fell in the patio, and she could turn it into a sword, and the sword qi contained in it pressed Xu Yan almost out of breath.
Xu Yan didn't dare to refute her opinion, so he had to pretend to be calm, and said with some flattery: "Actually, I thought about it carefully, and found that what you said is not unreasonable. ”
Cardinal put the last dish on the table, rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "As long as you have the ability, do you still need to hide it?" Hurry up and serve me food, the dishes will blow you cold." ”
When Xu Yan heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand that was brewing the Ming Qian tea that he had given to the cardinal himself, and hurriedly came back with two bowls of rice, but when Xu Yan handed the rice bowl to the cardinal, he suddenly had a brain twitch and asked, "That...... How old are you this year?"
When the cardinal heard this, the showman who was about to pick up the rice bowl immediately had a meal.
For Xu Yan's inexplicable question, she didn't know what the other party's intentions were, so she glanced at Xu Yan, trying to see what the meaning was from his face, but obviously, she didn't see a single bullshit, and in the end, Cardinal still chose to answer truthfully, but said in a somewhat cold tone: "Eighteen." ”
After Xu Yan got the answer as he wished, he smiled and said, "Then you are two years older than me." ”
The cardinal's eyes suddenly turned like frost, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you looking for death?"
Xu Yan felt the majestic sword intent rising suddenly on her body, and her heart was shocked.
After three years of getting along, he knows that the other party has a very good temper, straightforward and not twisted, and he is definitely the kind of person who says he will fight, although the other party will not seriously injure him or beat him to death, but let him suffer a little, it is definitely easy.
Xu Yan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't ...... You don't have to do it, I don't mean anything else, I just thought, I've been with you for three years, and I usually call you ah, yours, I feel too raw, so I want to ask your age. ”
Cardinal said in an indifferent tone, "And then?"
"Then I know that you are older than me, so I can call you Sister Hong in the future?"
Seeing the black line on the cardinal's face, Xu Yan couldn't help but rub his hands in embarrassment, thinking that the other party didn't like this title, so he asked again: "That...... It's called Sister Sparrow?"
As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth, and when Xu Yan just finished saying this, he also realized that this title was really a bit outrageous.
The cardinal was still eating on his mouth, but the sword intent on his body had been condensed to the point that Xu Yan felt as if he was in the middle of a red wind of at least three levels, which made his scalp numb, so he immediately chose to shut up and just bury his head in the rice. Fortunately, the cardinal didn't really make a move on him in the end, but just asked coldly, "Why do you have to call me sister, just because I'm older than you?"
Xu Yan didn't expect the other party to ask about this, so he couldn't help but look confused and said, "Ah? No...... That ......"
Cardinal didn't care about Xu Yan's incoherent words, but turned her head to glance outside the patio, and then frowned at the heroic sword eyebrows, as if she had sensed something, but in the end, she just glanced at Xu Yan and said indifferently: "Whatever you want, what do you like to call it, anyway, it's not me who suffers." ”
Xu Yan didn't know what she said at all, so he didn't answer. However, he did not know that just as the cardinal looked out of the courtyard and said this, an elegant man who had been accustomed to wearing a green shirt all year round shook his head in the night.
After Xu Yan was silent for a while, he grinned and said, "Then I will call you Sister Hong in the future?"
For this sound, there is always a name that seems to be called the old bustard in the land of smoke and willows in the market, and the cardinal finally chose to acquiesce.
However, after Xu Yan finished eating and washing the tableware, she was already in a very bad mood, so she took the initiative to beckon to Xu Yan and said, "Come, come and accompany your Sister Hong." ”
Before Xu Yan could open her mouth to refuse, the previous peach branch had already fallen into her hands.
A sword qi that was more than ten times stronger than when Xu Yan fought against Ma Ming before suddenly condensed from her hand and slashed straight towards Xu Yan in the courtyard.
......
In a certain courtyard about two miles away from Liuyun Courtyard, the elegant man who had returned to his study house and was sipping tea couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head after feeling this sword aura, but he didn't want to intervene at all.
The elegant man took a sip of the silver monkey in the cup, with a slight chuckle, and sighed: "They are still children." ”
......
Early the next morning.
There was still about half an hour before Chen Shi Taiji came to Lian Wu Square.
As far as the eye could see, the surrounding area of the square was still full of disciples and elders of the Lotus Sect, but compared to a few days ago, the waiting area of all the participating disciples had been reduced by a full sixty, and with the end of the second round of the competition, half of the number of people, including Xu Yan, would continue to be eliminated.
Seeing Xu Yan walking towards the battle area with the long sword on his back, the linesman elder who had been waiting for a long time was expressionless, but everyone present was in an uproar when they saw that Xu Yan was the first to appear again. On the opposite side of Xu Yan, Zhang Huanji, who also drew the 'second round, the first game', looked at Xu Yan with a stunned face, and exclaimed, "You actually drew the first game again?"
Xu Yan glanced at the other party, and instantly remembered that he had seen this person, it was still before, when Zhou Xian went to Liuyun Courtyard to trouble him, the other party was mixed in the middle of the team at that time, but Xu Yan didn't know what the other party's name was, and of course he didn't know anything about his strength.
seemed to realize that he was asking a little knowingly, and seeing that the other party didn't want to answer his meaning, Zhang Shuji squinted his eyes and said meaningfully: "Little junior brother, I didn't expect to really let me meet you." ”
It is not surprising that the disciples of the Chunzi Sect have been drawn in two consecutive rounds, after all, among the people who have advanced to the second round, the disciples of the Chunzi Sect already account for the majority, but after hearing the other party's words and seeing his slightly sarcastic expression, Xu Yan couldn't help frowning, and asked curiously: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you really want to meet me in the competition?"
Zhang Shuji pulled out the long sword behind his back, and then blew on the cold sword body with his mouth, and then chuckled and said: "I hope I can't talk about it, but compared to others, I really want to learn the high moves of the little junior brother, because I want to see if you really have the strength to defeat Ma Ming's sword with a sword, after all, no matter what, he will lose the face of our Chunzi faction." ”
Xu Yan couldn't help but smile dumbly when he heard this lame reason, he originally thought that the other party was instructed by Zhou Xian to come to target him. However, for him, in fact, no matter what the other party's reason is, it doesn't matter much, because the moment the other party is recognized by him, he has secretly decided that he will let the other party enjoy the same treatment as Ma Ming.
In other words, it is the same result, but in terms of treatment, it may be slightly heavier.
So, Xu Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the void, and grabbed the Fu Yao behind him into his hand, and then he pointed at the other party with his sword, and said calmly: "Since you are so curious, then eat my sword!"
As soon as Xu Yan's words fell, the fuyao in his hand was already flying into the air, only to see him put his fingers together, quickly pinching the trick, and then spit out a word from his mouth, 'Go'!
After the word 'go' came out.
Fuyao suddenly turned into a sword aura of silver light, and swept towards the opposite side at an extremely fast speed.
Zhang Shuji was shocked when he saw that the other party used the sword technique on himself as soon as he came up, but he forgot that Xu Yan, like his Senior Brother Zhou, was a freak who could use the sword technique in the lower three realms, but even so, he still didn't believe that the other party would have much power when using the sword technique with only the cultivation of the second floor.
Therefore, Zhang Xianji watched the silver light in the air flying towards his head, although his face was solemn, but he was quite unimpressed in his heart, and even thought that when Xu Yan's flying sword was completely close to him, he would use the long sword in his hand to pick it up, and he would pretend again.
However, after all, Zhang Huanji underestimated Xu Yan's strength, or he didn't know the fact that Xu Yan had quietly stepped into the third floor.
......
Fuyao sped through the air.
Xu Yan kept pinching the trick in his hand.
When the sword qi that Fuyao incarnated into was close to the top of Zhang Yan's head, Xu Yan's mouth spat out another word.
'Slash'!
As a result, the silver light sword qi that originally seemed to be only about three feet tall, at this moment, suddenly skyrocketed to more than three feet.
The huge sword qi was like a long rainbow slashing down at Zhang Jiao's head from the air.
A sword through the rainbow!
