It has been nearly a month since Yang Ning left Qushan City. After a month of traveling, Yang Ning came to a place interspersed with mountains and rivers. This is the boundary of Shuchuan River in Liuyun Kingdom.
And in this Sichuan River is where the Beixuan Sword Sect is located.
Yang Ning said goodbye to Yang Qiong. After a month of traveling, he finally arrived here. Looking at the landform with clear ravines in front of him, Yang Ning felt deeply.
A poet once wrote: The road to Shu is difficult, the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky.
For secular people, the difficulty of the Shu Road is indeed no different than climbing to the sky, but for most practitioners, it is not included in this list.
Even if most practitioners in the Guanshan realm cannot fly, they can still achieve the goal of being as light as a swallow. Therefore, the difficulty of ascending to the sky on the Shu Road cannot stop practitioners.
Yang Ning was walking on the side between two mountains at the moment. There was a road halfway up the mountain that could only accommodate one person. Next to it is a bottomless cliff, and less than ten feet away from the other side is the mountain range on the other side.
From the bottom of the cliff, there was a faint sound of trickling water.
The mountains on both sides are covered with trees and weeds, and they look like a primitive forest. However, it is not deserted here, but is very lively.
Perhaps because the road is rugged and only one person can pass at a time, there is always a constant flow of people coming and going on the mountain road here.
A staircase with one step after another, winding and extremely rugged, shuttles through the chaotic forest, twisting like an earthworm day by day.
The sounds of apes are heard far away, some are sad, some are joyful, some are desolate, some are joyful...
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the forest and is dotted with stars, which does not make the forest eerie and terrifying, but there is still some gloominess in the airtight primeval forest.
The damp breath hits your face, making you feel unnatural and unaccustomed.
Yang Ning shuttled through it and felt a little tired along the rugged road.
Today is already the sixth day he has entered this forest. In other words, he has been traveling on this so-called Shu Road for more than six days, but he still cannot see the edge of the mountain.
There are two mountains sandwiched in between. After a long time, I always feel distracted.
Yang Ningwu complained spontaneously, looking at the mountains covered by clouds and mist in the distance, and said: "The road to Shu is difficult, it is really not false."
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the forest.
"Huh?" Yang Ning turned around and saw an old ape about ten feet long behind him, looking at him and making a low sound.
The old ape didn't look ferocious, he even looked senile. He looked very tired. His eyes drooped tiredly and were about to close. However, his two arms were firmly grasping the trees in the forest. , very tight, as if as soon as I let go, I would fall into the abyss.
The old ape groaned lowly, and there was a "gurgling" sound from his stomach.
"It turns out he's hungry..." Yang Ning grinned, feeling that this old ape must be quite intelligent and already very hungry, otherwise he wouldn't be looking for humans for help.
Yang Ning took out a piece of cooked meat from the space ring and threw it over.
The old ape kept humming, and when he saw the cooked meat flying towards him, he seemed to be energetic. He released the branches of the branches he was holding on, took the cooked meat, and started to feast.
Soon, a piece of cooked meat as big as a human head was wiped out by the old ape. Then the old ape hung on a branch and made a move that surprised Yang Ning.
The old ape lowered his head in place, as if to thank Yang Ning and express his gratitude to Yang Ning.
"Old ape, you're welcome. You and I met by chance. Meeting is fate, so why bother..."
Before Yang Ning could finish speaking, the old ape seemed to be unable to hold himself back and wanted to show off his strength. However, the old ape was obviously not very intelligent. After a thank you, he ran away and disappeared into the forest regardless of Yang Ning's words.
The old ape who had gained strength looked very powerful, and his back looked strong and elastic when he left.
"This old ape is kind of cute..."
Yang Ning murmured to himself. Human beings are always scheming. For their own desires and to make themselves stronger, they always use their friends and relatives. In the end, they become ruthless and cold-blooded animals. Compared with this old ape, there are huge differences. Not as good as.
But Yang Ning didn't think much about it. He looked at the dim sun in the sky. After resting, the strength in his feet gradually returned, and Yang Ning hit the road again.
The green hills are still there, but it is already late autumn, and they always have a sad color.
Leaves are constantly falling in the forest, and the autumn wind blows the leaves, falling from the fingers, just like a person's life, sprouting in spring, growing vigorously in summer, and finally falling and returning to their roots in autumn.
A cycle, just like a human life.
But at this moment, Yang Ning has no intention of thinking about this. At this moment, he is just like the leaves in spring, still in the budding stage.
There is still more than half a year until the competition between the five factions. Although Yang Ning does not attach much importance to it, this is what he promised Senior Jian Jue and Yang Ning must complete it.
Although Senior Jian Jue was cured by Yang Ning, Jian Jue had already repaid the favor in the battle of Qingming Town, and Yang Ning took Jian Jue's sword that year. As far as Yang Ning was concerned, he still owed Jian Jue. Yang Ning agreed to Jian Jue's invitation to replace Beixuan Sword Sect and complete the five-sect competition.
Beixuan Sword Sect, located in Shuchuan of Liuyun Kingdom, is the largest force in Shuchuan. However, among the five major forces of Liuyun Kingdom, it can only rank fourth. Therefore, Jianjue invited Yang Ning, hoping that Can achieve a good result.
It has been more than six days since Yang Ning entered Shu. Except for the old ape just now, everything is very dull, but dullness is always reserved for people who are at ease.
Right in front of Yang Ning's eyes, a platform appeared. The platform was not big, but it could accommodate more than thirty people. On the platform, there were five people holding long knives in their hands, and the blades were glowing with a faint light.
A practitioner? Yang Ning could confirm at a glance that these five people must be cultivators, and Yang Ning could not see through their cultivation levels. In other words, these five people were at least high-level, or even peak, cultivators of the Mountain Viewing Realm.
Before Yang Ning could speak, five people were already bullying him.
"Boy, hand over your belongings and you can pass safely, otherwise..." One of them smiled sinisterly, hummed twice, and lit up his long knife.
"Five brothers, this is..."
"Who is your brother? Damn it, take out the money you have, otherwise I will let you taste how fast grandpa's knife is..."
One of them had a full beard, a gleaming sword, and a fierce look on his face.
Yang Ning was interrupted and suddenly became angry. You said you are a cultivator, what is wrong with your studies, and imitating others to rob? Isn't this a loss of status for cultivators? Besides, you all have such high cultivation levels, and you still have to rob. Ordinary people are really...
Yang Ning already had murderous intentions.
"Fast? I wonder how fast your knife is?" Yang Ning looked as usual, staring at the bearded man, and had locked him firmly.
"Quickly?" The big man was stunned. He didn't expect the young boy in front of him to have such courage. He said, "Look..."
As he said that, the sword flashed and cut directly towards Yang Ning, and the target was Yang Ning's neck.
"Grandpa, I want you to see how fast this knife is..." The cold light of the knife took the lead, and the air it cut directly made a whirling sound.
"How brave!" Yang Ning screamed, Cheng Yi Sword in hand, and hurriedly stepped back two steps. Then, taking advantage of the hardness of the steps, he kicked off his legs, jumped up, rolled in the air, and came from the steps. Arrived on the platform.
"Huh?" The bearded man was stunned and said, "I didn't expect that he is also a cultivator. This is really an unexpected surprise..."
The bearded man's face was already shining, as if Yang Ning's whole body had some great attraction. The long knife in his hand made a buzzing sound, and he made another crosscut, rotating his body, and cut towards Yang Ning's waist.
"Surprise? I'll give you a surprise." Yang Ning used his Intention Sword to gather his sword intention, and then swung out his sword intention to meet the long sword.
Only a "ding" sound was heard in the air. The long sword stopped and the sword intention dissipated. Yang Ning took two steps back. The bearded man was also unsteady and staggered, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Master..."
The bearded man used his spiritual power, and for a moment, the aura that was on the edge of life and death emitted from his body, and a faint murderous intention followed the long knife and headed towards Yang Ning.
The long sword was precise, and it was swung directly at the Chengyi Sword in Yang Ning's hand.
It rolled, brought up the breeze, and caused birds to fly in the empty valley all around.
"Looking for death..." Yang Ning was already very angry. Inexplicably, he was targeted by this bearded man, and his attack was a killing move. How could he not make Yang Ning angry?
Hunyuan sword.
Yang Ning was furious.
The sword intent instantly gathered and formed a huge sword. Regardless of the man's strangling knife, he moved his body directly towards the man's face.
As long as a sword hits, the big man will die.
Swish…
Leaves fell in the air, but this did not interfere with Yang Ning's killing sword.
"Third brother, get out of the way quickly, don't force it..."
Among the five people, the older one looked a little thin, but there was a fierce look between his eyes.
After saying this, the long sword in his hand moved fiercely, as if it was carrying a huge mountain, cutting in from the side to block Yang Ning's sword.
boom……
There was a loud noise on the platform.
On the stone of the platform, a pit as big as a human head appeared. Apparently, the first fight between the two was finally stopped by the boss of the five.
In the pit above the ground, the sword's will flew out, and the sword's light was cold.
If the five of them don't understand at this moment, they are complete fools.
"A master, and a swordsman who understands the meaning of the sword, is a bit tricky."
The five people made eye contact and quickly understood the reason.
"Let's go together..."
The five of them have already made an agreement and have cooperated countless times. Knowing that this person is not easy to mess with, they will directly attack him.
Five long knives had surrounded Yang Ning from five different directions.
The sword's light was cold and exuded with killing intent. The sword was pointed at Yang Ning's body, every part of it was vital.
"Who are you?" At this moment, Yang Ning no longer had any good intentions, and only had cold murderous intent in his heart.
"Five Tigers of Sichuan..."
"It turns out it's you." Yang Ning finally understood who he had met. The Five Poisons of Shuchuan are all ruthless and ruthless, and they are all cultivators at the peak of Guanshan Realm. Even within the Liuyun Kingdom, they have their reputations.
And the five of them are habitual robbers who have been wanted in Liuyun Kingdom for a long time. However, after being wanted for a long time, there is still no way to catch them, because the five people are very cunning. As long as they are defeated, they will enter Sichuan, making it impossible to find out their whereabouts.
Over time, they were forgotten by people, and the five people appeared again, still acting like gangsters, and they remained stubborn.
"Why, you know the names of the five grandpas. Are you afraid? You must die obediently and avoid the pain of your flesh and blood. Otherwise... humph..."
Five steel knives were pointed at Yang Ning, not daring to relax at all. Even if the five of them are arrogant and domineering, they must be treated with caution when facing the swordsman.
