According to the conversation between the three of them on the road, as expected by Qingyun, the monk guarding this place is Zou Yanwen, the first core disciple of the Haiyou Sword Sect and the leader of the three young swordsmen!
This person is about the same age as Bai Zhizheng, but his cultivation is slightly higher than him. He has reached the fifth level of Yuanhua and is the number one figure of the younger generation of Haiyou Sword Sect.
Different from Bai Zhizheng, who was usually good-hearted and full of friends, Zou Yanwen was described by Huang Tianzhong and Kuai Jian as a sinister and cunning person.
This guy is not only taciturn and has few friends, but also often has to compete with people from Bai Zhizheng's group when it comes to profit distribution.
However, Master Bai has many followers, while Zou Yanwen has only a few people around him. Therefore, comparing the two, even if his cultivation is higher, he does not take advantage of him on weekdays.
But in the final analysis, Zou Yanwen is the leader of the core disciples. Even if the two parties don't like to see each other anymore, they still have to be careful when dealing with each other.
Otherwise, it would be a good idea to let someone catch you with your pigtails, which would deprive you of the right to enter the secret realm. If it were Bai Zhizheng, he would be eager to do this.
Money moves people's hearts!
They don't expect Qilin teeth that can make people ascend in the daytime, but small secret realms are full of all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Even if these things cannot be directly used to improve their cultivation, it is extremely valuable to give them to the sect in exchange for contributions. OK
That's why Huang Kuai and the two were quite cautious in Haiyou City, and Qingyun also agreed with this.
And I heard that after entering this small secret realm, everyone has their own destiny. If you die in it, even the Kuixing Sect who is good at calculations will not be able to deduce the cause and effect.
However, in my opinion, since we are all from the same sect, it is better to get together in advance to keep warm. If we can come out alive, we can fight to the death. If we start fighting in the nest before entering, isn't this a clear opportunity for other sects to take advantage of!
Haiyou Sword Sect is just a top second-rate sect. Not to mention the Immortal Sword Sect, it is much worse than other first-rate sects. Even if there are two Yuan Hua Realm monks leading the team, it is not necessarily possible to enter. You can get benefits!
At least in Qingyun's opinion, let alone Zou Yanwen, whom he had never met, Xiao Luoyi or Eternal Life, none of them looked better than Bai Zhizheng.
The speed of the three of them on horseback is indeed much faster than walking. According to Kuai Jian, the Haiyou Sword Sect also has flying beasts that can travel thousands of miles a day, but it is not their turn to use them yet.
The three of them encountered few dangers along the way, only once, but it was a big trouble.
Halfway through the journey, they were stopped by two monks who were in the early stages of the Hundred Meridians Realm. Needless to say, they just said two words: robbery.
To Qingyun's surprise, he thought that Huang Kuai and the two would use the advantages of horses to find a way to escape. He never thought that the juniors who were both in the Lingyin realm would actually initiate a fight with two masters of the Hundred Meridians realm. .
It turns out that Huang Tianzhong and Kuai Jian, tall and short, strong and thin, are very good at combining attacks. Huang Tianzhong attacked three lanes and Kuai Jian took them down. Therefore, one of them can always interfere and force The enemy is distracted.
Lao Huang wielded an iron-painted silver spear, while Kuai Jian held a strange-shaped short blade. The two of them had both strengths and weaknesses, so the two-versus-two fight was quite effective.
Seeing them taking the initiative to defend themselves against the enemy, Qingyun naturally would not stand idly by.
Now that he has made great progress in cultivation, and his energy and blood are very powerful, he also wants to challenge himself again to see how big the gap is between himself and the masters of the Hundred Meridians Realm.
That day, Zhou Yang hacked him away with just his sword energy. Now the remaining one of the two also used a sword, so he just came to test his strength.
Seeing an opportunity, the young man decisively pulled out the long sword on his back and joined the battle circle. With the physical strength of Qingyun joining in, the pressure on Huang Kuai and Huang Kuai was immediately reduced a lot.
It was not that they had never faced off against the siege of two Hundred Meridians monks, but it was easy to escape but difficult to win.
The two of them had no hope that Qingyun would help them, but they never thought that this kid would help them regardless of his own safety, which made each other moved and became even more desperate in their moves.
Of course, they did not have much hope for Qingyun, a young man who was only in the late stage of Lingyin Realm. They only hoped to break the enemy's siege, so that they could have the opportunity to seriously injure one person first, and then choose the opportunity to retreat.
But what surprised them was that Qingyun, who was holding a long sword, actually had a close fight with the Baimai monk who was wielding the sword. Kuai Jian almost staggered and was shot because he was watching the show.
But they were shocked, and the monk who used the knife was even more horrified!
Such a young Lingyin Realm junior was actually able to block several of his swords with only a slight defeat. This made him really want to stop the offensive and then slap himself both in the face to see if it was an illusion, but Qingyun was relieved.
He estimated that the knife-wielding thief was from Yehu Chan like himself, and was obviously not as good as a sect disciple like Zhou Yang.
Not only was his swordsmanship messy and his spiritual power insubstantial, even though he could not gain any benefit after a few duels, he was not chopped away by a single sword like he had done with Zhou Yang that day.
The pretty boy Qingyun attracted half of the firepower, and Lao Huang and Kuai Jian naturally increased their offensive power!
In less than a quarter of an hour, when the two monks fighting against Huang Kuai were tired of parrying Huang Tianzhong's halberd, Kuai Jian, who saw the opportunity, went up from bottom to top and split his body in two in an instant. Officially reported to the underworld.
Looking at Qingyun again, his body was covered with knife wounds, but they were all superficial wounds, and his aura was only increasing!
Three sword-shaped spiritual powers were all shot out. Although they did not accomplish any great feats, they also left a bloody hole in the opponent's leg that was as deep as the bone.
Because he didn't want to expose his strength too much in front of others, he didn't use the Qilin Bite and the Hairpin Sword. However, despite this, the Yunfei Sword Technique he frequently used still made the swordsman miserable.
Taking a deep breath, Qingyun suddenly raised the little spiritual power left in his Dantian and used another move in the remaining part of Yunfei's sword technique, "Si Zhu Breaking the Army"!
This move is different from the colorful and gorgeous "Continuous Bamboo Rain", but it focuses on the power of defeating the enemy with the soft sword. A sword thrust may seem weak, but in fact it contains murderous potential.
After the nameless sword in his hand was filled with spiritual power, Qingyun made a gentle ding with the tip of the sword, easily swinging the long knife away from the enemy's hand, and then turned sharply to attack the opponent's Dantian.
However, the other party is a master of the Hundred Meridians Realm. The spiritual power in his body circulates continuously every day, and the depth of his spiritual power is not inferior to that of Mr. Qingyun.
In desperation, the man rolled aside without caring about his image, and narrowly avoided Qingyun's gut-wrenching sword.
Youdao was able to hide from the first grade of junior high school but not from the fifteenth grade. As soon as he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. The creepy feeling of being close to death made the air he was about to breathe out choked in his throat. .
But then he wanted to take a breath from his mouth, which was not an easy task. After all, his eyes suddenly flew up involuntarily, and he wanted to open his mouth but he had no strength.
Then, there was no more.
At this time, Qingyun also retracted the sword he thrust out, cupped his hands towards Huang Kuai, shook his head and thanked with a wry smile:
"Thank you two Taoist brothers for rescuing me, otherwise I would have been at my wits' end."
Sharing life and death together can easily reduce the barriers and wariness between each other. Of the two, Huang Tianzhong has a calmer character, while Kuai Jian is more lively and mischievous, and can even be said to be outspoken at times.
Hearing what Qingyun said, he couldn't help but blush and said embarrassedly:
"Little brother Yun, what you said is really embarrassing for us. We are older than you and have higher cultivation levels than you. It took us two against one to defeat the opponent, but you single-handedly delayed the cross-realm battle for so long. Wait. The fighting prowess really puts brothers to shame!"
The simpler Kuai Jian even changed his name and called him the more affectionate Yun Xiaodi.
Huang Tianzhong on the side smiled at Qingyun without saying anything, then took out a hundred treasure bag from the beheaded Hundred Meridians monk, and threw it directly to Qingyun without looking at it.
Just when Qingyun caught it and wanted to refuse, Lao Huang grinned and said:
"Little brother Yun, since you didn't run away from the battle, we are brothers who have lived life and death together. If you hadn't held the other person down, it would have been almost impossible for us to escape intact, so just accept this treasure bag of yours. , in the future we will enter the small secret realm, where there are many treasures of heaven and earth, and if we don’t need these few small coins, we can safely leave my back to you."
Seeing that Qingyun still wanted to refuse, Kuai Jian quickly hugged the young man who was a head taller than him, and shouted happily that he wanted to check his injuries, etc., but did not allow him to refuse.
Regarding their sincerity, Qingyun has a good idea in his heart and can guess their thoughts.
At first, Huang Kuai only regarded him as someone whom Master Bai liked, but he was not necessarily a true brother and comrade-in-arms.
But at the critical moment, he did not run away, but chose to stay and fight alongside them. It was this trust and loyalty that made him truly regard him as a brother who followed Bai Zhizheng together.
It's just that Qingyun is a little ashamed that he chose to stay instead of treating the two of them as good brothers who share a common future.
Instead, he saw that since Huang Kuai and Huang Kuai had the courage to fight against the Hundred Meridians Realm with their cultivation of Ling Yin Realm and took the lead in taking action, they naturally had many trump cards and life-saving things.
Most of them will not abandon themselves, so they will share some of the pressure for the two of them, which will also allow them to practice more and accumulate some practical experience.
But naturally he would not say this clearly. The other party was Bai Zhizheng's loyal subordinate and follower, and more likely a dead soldier, but Qingyun was not.
And according to his feeling, Bai Zhizheng was so kind to him. In addition to repaying the kindness of giving the Five Snake Fruit, he probably also had the intention of recruiting.
He was fed up with being dependent on others and no longer wanted to hide under others' wings and beg for mercy.
Of course, Qingyun has always had a clear sense of grudges and grievances. No matter what intentions Huang Kuai and Huang Kuai have in caring for him, every drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring of water. This is what my father has taught me since childhood.
Now I can only remember the kindness between the two of them and look for opportunities to repay them in the future.
