Buzz~
Li Yuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had arrived at the foot of the hanging mountain.
These days, he would come here every now and then. Although he was beaten out every time, he could always retain a ray of true energy.
"This hammer is too aggressive."
boom!
The familiar shaking sound came again. Li Yuan thought he would be expelled this time, but he didn't expect that the shaking lasted for a long time and he still stood there.
"Are you angry?"
Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward.
On the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, there were many words flowing like water, which he had seen on the top of the mountain before.
This is the rule for the second step of Xuanbing’s master selection.
The rules are simple, just defeat everyone who has left their name on the stone tablet and climb the mountain again.
Li Yuan raised his head and saw that on the two thousand steps, there were faint lights of various colors flickering and intertwining, and figures outlined by zhenqi slowly emerged.
"We still have to break in."
Li Yuan shook his head inwardly and carefully observed the figure in front of him that was slowly outlined by true energy.
Even though it was not the first time I saw him, I was still a little shocked.
Between the interweaving of zhenqi, the muscles, bones, skin, flesh, and even blood are all outlined one by one, more than lifelike.
Li Yuan had seen anatomical diagrams of the human body in his previous life, but they were not so intuitive and clear.
This kind of control and use of true energy has reached a level that is beyond his reach.
Woo~
Soon, a swordsman made of true energy appeared on the first step. He was about 1.78 meters tall, with a blue body and a long sword made of the same true energy in his palm.
"Shapeshift."
Li Yuan glanced at the stone tablet, and there were words flashing on it: "Xin Wenhua, the shape-shifting swordsman."
"The martial arts level of all the gatekeepers is the same as mine. Well, it's okay. I can also sharpen my martial arts skills by the way."
Li Yuan carefully read the rules on the stone tablet, then stretched out his hand, and following his thoughts, a long-handled heavy hammer that was the same as a heavy hammer appeared in his hand.
Infused with true energy, the feel and weight are extremely real.
"What an amazing skill."
Li Yuan weighed the hammer, stepped forward, blocked the swordsman who was attacking him, and smashed it to pieces with a backhand hammer.
This body of zhenqi is the same as his body, possessing the advantages of all forms. The swordsman only stays on one step, so naturally he cannot stop him.
Buzz~
The swordsman exploded into pieces and turned into little bits of light, which submerged into his true energy body under Li Yuan's gaze.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and some skills in using a sword actually came to his mind.
"Is there any benefit?"
Li Yuan was startled, and his impatience subsided. He glanced at the figures on the two thousand steps up and down, and suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable.
"Well, it's okay."
Li Daoye nodded inwardly. He had to admit that he was a layman. When he discovered the benefits, he became much more motivated.
Woohoo~
The wind blew under Li Yuan's feet, and a long-handled heavy hammer moved flexibly in his palm, displaying all the martial arts he had learned.
He has learned a lot of martial arts and a lot of hammering techniques, but he spends most of his time practicing by himself and rarely fights with others.
At first, he was still a little resistant when he broke into the mountains, but he gradually became immersed in it.
Footwork, bodywork, hammering...
Various martial arts combinations are performed and various attempts are made.
There is an endless stream of shape-shifting warriors as training partners, even those who are the true disciples of the Dao Sect do not have this kind of treatment.
"boom!"
Li Yuan moved his body, raised his arms, and flicked his trunk like a giant elephant, knocking the swordsman on the spot.
This is an ancient elephant six-shaped hammer.
So many form-changing sparring partners were used to practice martial arts. After fighting for many times in a row, he found that his martial arts progress was much faster than practicing behind closed doors.
Especially this ancient elephant six-shaped hammer, it already has the flavor of a small success.
"call!"
After twenty or thirty consecutive battles, Li Yuan was a little out of breath: "Even the fatigue is so real, this hammer can actually use Qi to such an extent?"
Looking up at the top of the mountain, Li Yuan felt solemn in his heart.
The further he went up, the further he felt that he was far away from the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer. The level of this Heavenly Fate Mysterious Weapon was incredibly high.
"Old Han can compete with the master of marrow refining with his pair of red flame dragon armor. That armor is only seventh level, eleventh level..."
Li Yuan rested for a while holding the hammer before continuing to climb the mountain.
But gradually, he stopped pursuing mountain climbing speed and became immersed in fighting. The continuous improvement of various martial arts made him addicted.
"boom!"
I don't know how long it took, but Li Yuan was panting and his hand holding the hammer was trembling.
Upside Down Mountain is level 2,000, and the higher you go, the more masters you get. From a casual attack at the beginning, to level 300, it often takes dozens of moves.
"I walked 800 steps at one time and fought ninety-six times..."
Li Yuan looked at the second half of the road, felt a little relieved, and slowly exited. After nearly a hundred battles, he was really exhausted mentally and physically.
Buzz!
In the room, Li Yuan just opened his eyes and closed them again instantly. He felt that strands of true energy spread throughout his body, and his body was filled with chaos.
He forced himself to move his inner strength and energy and blood to balance, but the muscles and bones all over his body still made a crackling sound.
This time the influx of true energy was more than ten times more intense than before.
"The shape of a black whale!"
Li Yuan stood with the hammer in hand, clenching his teeth, feeling the shadow of the black whale emerging in his heart. At the same time, along with the true energy, there were all kinds of messy skills.
Sword skills, knife skills, footwork, hammer skills...
Memories of hundreds of battles on Hanging Mountain flooded into my mind. They were some of the moves used by those masters transformed by their true energy. They were very messy and scattered, and needed to be carefully gathered together to digest and absorb them.
"call!"
After a long time, Li Yuan let out a long breath, and when he opened his eyes in high spirits, it was already three o'clock in the sky.
He washed up and when he went to the restaurant, Fang Baoluo had already ordered a table full of food and drinks.
"I slept a little late last night."
Li Yuan sat down.
Last night he was so obsessed with Hanging Mountain that he lost track of time.
"The escort agency left early in the morning."
Fang Baoluo didn't complain, he just poured a glass of wine for Li Yuan: "We only have a few days to go. It will be more convenient for us to get two fast horses."
"Listen to senior brother."
Li Yuan nodded.
"Speaking of which, we might as well get out in time. I always felt like someone was following me sneakily the past few days. I'm not sure what's going on."
Fang Baoluo lowered his voice.
Unlike Li Yuan, who was deaf to what was happening outside the window, he was very careful along the way, even if the people in the escort agency seemed to pose no threat to him.
As a result, he actually discovered something.
"Dark escort?"
Li Yuan's eyes moved slightly, a little wary: "Could he be here for us?"
Before and after the relocation of the entire clan in the Divine Weapon Valley, the bounties on all the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley within each killer organization were once again much higher.
"Probably not much."
Fang Baoluo shook his head.
The birth of Tianyun Xuanbing shocked the world, and Zhelong Mansion was in chaos. At this time, except for those few families, no one paid attention to the Divine Weapon Valley.
"Then it has nothing to do with us."
Li Yuan didn't dig into it, he just took a ride on it, and it had nothing to do with him whether he was a secret escort or an overt escort.
"Oh, it's all the Tianyun Xuanbing's fault. I just hope it will be over soon."
Fang Baoluo sighed, seeing the chaos in Zhelong Mansion, he felt really uncomfortable.
This is the ancestral land of the Divine Weapon Valley that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is also the foundation of his career and his hometown.
"I heard that everyone from Longhu Temple has arrived, should it be soon?"
Li Yuan comforted him, but he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
If that group of people finds out that the Tianyun Xuanbing is not here...
…
…
Zhelongfu City.
The relocation of the entire clan in Shenbing Valley did not seem to affect the city. At least on the surface, all businesses were as prosperous as before.
"This old guy Gong Yangyu is really decisive!"
On the sixth floor of a restaurant, Meng Zhan stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the bustling city with a cold expression.
That day in the tunnel of the Divine Weapon Valley, he left briefly for some reason. When he returned, there was no trace of anyone, and he only saw corpses on the ground.
Undercurrents surged in the cold pool, and Baili Jingchuan and others all disappeared without a trace.
"Hall Master."
A disciple of the Zhenwu Hall came quickly and whispered: "Yan Qingyuan is here."
"Yan Qingyuan?"
Meng Zhan's eyes darkened slightly.
Yan Qingyuan is one of the eight contemporary true legends of Huailong Palace. He is unique in Huailong Palace with his Yan Mo sword skills. He is likely to become the contemporary young master of Huailong Palace.
"lead the way."
Meng Zhan turned around and followed the disciple to the city gate. At this time, many forces and people from Jianghu and Jianghu were here.
But he saw a purple carriage coming slowly on the wooden bridge. The four dragon horses pulling the carriage were all of the same color, with shoulders two feet tall, and they were extremely handsome.
"parking."
The old man in gray clothes driving the car nodded slightly and reined in the horse.
A handsome middle-aged man wearing black gilt brocade clothes and a long knife at his waist slowly stepped out of the carriage. He looked around and said calmly:
"Where is Meng Zhan?"
Among the people who were greeted at the city gate, Meng Zhan walked out quickly and slightly cupped his hands: "Meng Zhan has met Mr. Yan."
"Um."
Yan Qingyuan nodded slightly and motioned for him to come over. Meng Zhan frowned slightly. He disliked this person's attitude very much, but he quickly approached.
"Among the first batch of people to enter the tunnels of the Divine Weapon Valley, you are the only one who is still here."
Yan Qingyuan glanced at him lightly: "Tell me about it."
His tone was neither high nor low, but it was full of irresistibility. Meng Zhan's heart felt slightly cold, but he obeyed and explained the cause and effect one by one.
From the siege of Sanyuanwu in Shenbing Valley, to the sacrifice of thousands of spirits, to the massacre in the tunnel, to everyone disappearing and leaving.
"I heard someone say that the Mysterious Bing Realm has ever been born?"
Yan Qingyuan suddenly interrupted.
"That's hard to say."
Meng Zhan shook his head slightly: "In those days, Meng happened to be away for something. Although he heard about it, he didn't see it with his own eyes..."
"You happen to be away?"
Yan Qingyuan frowned slightly. He looked at the old man driving the car. The old man in gray bowed slightly and said:
"Back to Young Master, Gong Yangyu, Han Chuijun, Jing Shuhu and others who were the first batch to enter the tunnel all disappeared without a trace, and they must have fled to Dechang Mansion.
The palace has issued a summons, and I think there will be results in the near future. "
"Um."
Yan Qingyuan nodded and did not enter the city. He turned around and walked towards the gate of Shenbing Valley.
All the people who were greeted at the city gate followed quickly. Only Meng Zhan frowned slightly and returned to the city.
"My martial arts skills are average, but I'm really good at putting on airs!"
At this time, someone in the crowd murmured, which attracted Yan Qingmo's cold eyes: "Who are you?"
In the crowd, a sturdy young man pinched his long hair at the temples and hummed: "Longhu Temple, Yu Xuanfeng."
