Smoke and dust billowed in the arena. Lu Hanjiang and "Wangchen" looked at each other, both reading different meanings from each other's eyes.
During the confrontation, Lu Hanjiang had a clear smile on his face. He put away his secrets, but took a step back and said: "The Wudang swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary. I surrender."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. This Xiaoyao Sect Yue Lifeng had always looked upon himself very highly. He had never lowered his head when facing the four major Vajra Formations of Shaolin. Today, he actually admitted defeat to the Wudang Sect.
What's more, he didn't seem to be injured in this battle. Even everyone saw that it was Yue Lifeng who was suppressing Wangchen in the fight. They were all worried about Wudang, but who would have thought that the result would be like this. Like an anticlimax.
"Wait a minute."
"Wangchen" raised his hand to silence everyone temporarily. He picked up the scabbard on the ground, knotted it again and put it on his back. He said to Lu Hanjiang: "Master Yue, please don't be too humble. This round can be considered a draw."
Although these words were beautifully said, everyone in Zhengdao still felt that they had lost their prestige and had to mutter a few words. It was Yan Fengyun who praised loudly: "With such a gentleman's demeanor, Taoist Wangchen deserves to be a disciple of Wudang."
After accepting Wangchen's humility, Lu Hanjiang did not refuse, but smiled and said: "I still have a few things that I don't understand. I would like to ask the Taoist Master to clarify my confusion. Is that okay?"
Each path in martial arts has its own shortcomings and strengths. It is common for younger generations to ask others for advice, but it is rare for someone like Lu Hanjiang to come to ask for advice as soon as he loses the competition.
Different from the boy who lost the sword but was resentful in his heart, Yue Lifeng now bows his head with heart. This comparison of postures makes the judgment clear.
At this moment, many people began to nod in approval of Lu Hanjiang's attitude of being willing to accept defeat, as if they had completely forgotten the scene a few days ago when he was holding a secret and killing everyone.
But this is not because the human nature of Jianghu is cold, but on the contrary. People in Jianghu have clear grudges and good deeds, and it is natural for them to be admired by others.
Only the disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect all looked ugly, especially Hu Qianzhong, whose gloomy face could no longer contain the anger in his heart.
But Lu Hanjiang couldn't care about these. He got "Wangchen"'s promise and followed him out of the ring to the side room where he was.
At the door, "Wangchen" stepped in. Lu Hanjiang wanted to follow but was stopped by a young man in a robe. He closed the door and said with a childish face, "Master, please wait here." "
Lu Hanjiang didn't know what kind of medicine this man was selling in his gourd, so he thought to himself that it was just right, so he stayed quietly.
Not long after, the door was opened, and Wangchen showed up again. His aura was completely different from the previous one. Under his eyes of unclear sadness and happiness, there was a hint of Taoism and natural charm.
Behind him, a figure suddenly appeared, climbed over the window sill and went to the back of the wing. Lu Hanjiang recognized at a glance that it was the person he had just competed with.
Wangchen didn't say a word, but just got out of the way. Lu Hanjiang chased after him without saying a word, and the two of them started chasing each other in the Shaolin Temple.
What's strange is that this man's footwork is mysterious. He used his skill to dodge all the Shaolin monks he met along the way. To outsiders, it looked like Lu Hanjiang was running around like a headless fly.
Lu Hanjiang thought in his mind that this must be the profound Qing Kung of Xiaoyao Sect. While he chased after him, he secretly memorized this person's footwork one by one.
During the chase, they had already escaped from the Shaolin Temple at some point. The man suddenly turned around and rushed towards Lu Hanjiang.
Lu Hanjiang saw that his footwork was strange and he couldn't figure out his movements, so he simply used the small Wuxiang Kung Fu to perform the footwork he had just memorized.
I thought that the same skills would be evenly matched, but I saw that the man's steps were light and nimble, like a dragonfly touching the water, and his steps were smooth and graceful. However, Lu Hanjiang seemed to be carrying a hundred kilograms of heavy baggage, and his steps were clumsy and clumsy. It's like stepping into a mud puddle.
He had the upper hand in footwork, but the man did not take advantage of this opportunity to take action. Instead, he took the initiative to take two or three steps back, and said in another voice with Wangchen's face in front of him -
"Although small non-phase skills can replace the internal skills of various schools in the world and control the world's martial arts, if you don't understand the key points of some advanced martial arts and don't know why, imitating them will be like imitating others, which will harm yourself."
The teacher's tone and his understanding of Xiao Wuxiang Kung made Lu Hanjiang more certain of this person's identity, but there was a look of astonishment on his face as he asked: "Who are you and why do you use this martial art?" !”
But the man smiled and said: "On the first day I entered Master's sect, I promised to learn all the martial arts in the world. Master then taught me the saying that morning bacteria don't know Hui Shuo, and worms don't know Spring and Autumn, and gave me a Taoist name of Shuo. Character."
Lu Hanjiang suddenly realized: "Are you Senior Brother Shuo Xuan?!"
"You have mastered Xiao Wuxiang Kung to this level at such a young age. Even if Junior Brother Shifang is still there, you have to say that he is the one who is the best. He is worthy of being trained by Master himself." Shuo Xuan took off his disguise, revealing a handsome face. With a clear face, he sighed with emotion: "His old man is indeed better. Not only is he out of danger, but he has also found another good talent for the Xiaoyao Sect."
No, your master has died a long time ago, and his ashes have been raised by Meng Shu. Lu Hanjiang thought in his heart, but his face was extremely excited and he bowed his head to the bottom: "I have seen Senior Brother Shuoxuan!"
"Get up quickly."
Shuo Xuan supported Lu Hanjiang's arm, pulled him up, looked at him and said with satisfaction: "At first I thought someone was pretending to be someone, but this secret and this martial arts cannot be faked. Junior brother, you came just in time. "
It's not that Shuo Xuan didn't suspect that someone had set up a trap, it was just one of them. He faked his death to escape in an extremely secretive way, and he was just a small figure in the Xiaoyao sect at the time. His arrangements over the years were all secret. On the surface, even if he was discovered, he thought he would not be able to escape. He's just a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect who doesn't deserve such a big scene.
Of the two, Xiao Wuxiang Kung Fu is one of Xiaoyao Sect’s secret arts, and it is extremely difficult to practice. Even he himself can only say that he can barely practice it, but Yue Lifeng can use it as easily as searching for something. Next, he was able to imitate his Lingbo Weibu. Without more than ten years of hard training, it would have been absolutely impossible.
As for where the secret came from and why it was not taken away by Meng Yuan, Shuo Xuan, who has great respect for his master, has already considered Bei Mingzi's successful escape as a prerequisite, so he can naturally think of five or six ways to protect his master. The means of soldiers.
It was for these reasons that Shuo Xuan was certain that this Yue Lifeng must be the disciple that Master Bei Mingzi took after he escaped, and he personally taught him for many years before he achieved his current achievements, but...
Shuo Xuan looked at Tian Ji and said with a sad face: "Little Junior Brother, Master, is he still...?"
"Yeah." Lu Hanjiang just nodded dully.
"well."
Shuo Xuan's face was full of pain. Although he was happy to meet his fellow apprentices, he could not hide his sorrow for his master's death. In these years, it was difficult for him to live without his master's hope of escaping like him. Today, he got the truth that his master had truly passed away. The news and years of misery came flooding back to me in an instant.
But after all, he was no longer the young man he was before. The mature Shuo Xuan stopped his sadness after just a moment and said to Lu Hanjiang: "Junior brother, come back to Beijing with me."
"Going to the capital?" Lu Hanjiang pretended to be surprised and said, "Senior brother, master suffered a big loss at the hands of Jin Yiwei, how can you still dare to stay in that place?"
"Junior brother, the enemy of destroying our family is ahead of us. I have already made an oath to make that Jin Yiwei look good!"
Shuo Xuan said with resentment: "Besides, the old emperor still owes justice to our Xiaoyao sect. If we don't get it back, how can master and other brothers rest in peace underground?"
While he was talking, a figure suddenly fell down. It was Huangfu Xiaoyuan who was disguised as Linglong. She had been secretly observing in the temple and saw Lu Hanjiang running in this direction, so she followed him without thinking.
When Shuo Xuan saw her appearance, he immediately protected Lu Hanjiang behind him, looked at Huangfu Xiaoyuan coldly and asked, "Who are you?"
Huangfu Xiaoyuan remained silent, but it was Lu Hanjiang who explained: "Senior brother, she is the maid of Young Master Xie of Qingmei Village. Because she lost the bet that day, she stayed with me."
Shuo Xuan's face was solemn, and he said: "This woman has such a body and she is so unpredictable when I look at her here. She is definitely not like an ordinary maid. I am afraid she is deliberately lurking next to you."
Lu Hanjiang nodded, then slowly pulled out Tianji and said, "Senior brother is saying, then we will capture her now?"
"How can a sneaky person like us brothers join forces? Junior Brother, please step back and watch Senior Brother..."
Pfft——!
Shuo Xuan's confident smile was fixed on his face. His suddenly shrunken pupils slowly moved down, looking at the half of the Tianji sword blade on his chest. He turned around with difficulty, stared at Lu Hanjiang in disbelief, and said: "Junior brother ,you--"
Seeing that this sword failed to kill him, Lu Hanjiang used the Baihong Palm Technique and struck out directly.
Shuo Xuan was worthy of being able to escape from death at the hands of Meng Yuan. At this critical moment, he was able to use his tyrannical internal force to make Lu Hanjiang Tianji get rid of his hand and hit him with his palm.
The two faced each other palm to palm, competing with each other with their internal strength. Although Shuo Xuan was seriously injured, he was not weak at all in terms of explosion. Not only that, the true energy in his body suddenly began to move strangely. Then, Lu Hanjiang felt, His inner strength was actually sucked in bit by bit by him.
After all, he is the great disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. He is indeed extraordinary. Lu Hanjiang secretly praised him, and immediately stopped holding back. He let go of his usual restraint, and all his internal energy turned into violent zhenqi, rushing towards Na Shuo along his palm. mysterious.
Shuo Xuan's pale face suddenly turned pale. He looked at Lu Hanjiang in horror, his mouth open as if he could fit a fist in. The internal energy he absorbed with his martial arts was originally a trickle, but just now In an instant, it suddenly turned into a furious sea.
This violent zhenqi was like dust and mustard seeds one moment, and suddenly turned into the size of heaven and earth the next second. Shuoxuan's internal organs were inflated and swollen like balloons. After reaching the critical point, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his The body jumped back, and his feet carved two deep ravines on the ground, breaking two big trees as thick as a wellhead, and then fell to the ground like rags.
"You...why..."
At the last moment of his life, Shuo Xuan looked at Lu Hanjiang with a look of dismay on his face as he walked forward with Tianji in hand and wiped his neck open with a sword.
Until his consciousness completely dissipated, Shuo Xuan's heart was full of doubts. He no longer even bothered with the reason why the other party pretended to be a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. He just couldn't understand why the other party acted like a villain when he had such terrifying strength. sneak attacks.
