This made the old man on the boat neither ask who Shao Xi was nor where he came from. He obviously knew who the visitor was, or what the purpose of the visitor was.
From the first moment he saw him, Shao Xi knew in his heart that this person should be Qin Chuan, one of the four masters under Shen Bugai's command.
If he was really Qin Chuan, wouldn't the dark river in front of him be the Wangchuan River? So this huge cave in the mountain is the so-called underworld? Is the place I want to go to the legendary underworld?
Shao Xi couldn't help but feel a little funny, thinking to herself, are you guys taking cosplay so seriously? To actually create such a large real-life scene, the sense of immersion in this character is really strong. I am afraid that I am confused, right?
Now that he had guessed the old man's identity, Shao Xi naturally became defensive.
Qin Chuan parked the boat in the center of the river with no intention of coming over. Shao Xi understood that he was asking him to jump onto the boat, so he stood on the shore and held up his hands to Qin Chuan on the boat, then jumped towards the boat.
But when Shao Xi jumped to the highest point in the sky, Qin Chuan took the opportunity to attack Shao Xi without any moral ethics.
He suddenly raised the oar in his right hand, and the oar brought up the water in the underground river and poured it directly towards Shao Xi.
It seemed that only the river water was splashed at Shao Xi, but Shao Xi clearly felt that the oncoming river water was very powerful, like a sharp water knife slashing diagonally towards him from bottom to top.
Shao Xi couldn't help but secretly cursed for being despicable, for actually launching an attack while he was leaping into the air. This was obviously an attempt to put himself to death.
Judging from this blow, the opponent's martial arts realm was at least in the late sixth stage. Although the vitality had not taken a concrete form, it could be seen from the water in the dark river that this blow had the power of a blade.
If the guess is correct, the weapon Qin Chuan used in the past must have been a long-handled sword. This attack, which used an oar instead of a sword, was fierce and did not leave any room for Shao Xi.
Shao Xi thought to himself that although you won't hold back, I must retain my strength.
In order to hide part of his strength before meeting Shen Bugai, Shao Xi did not use the "Qi Transformation Realm" skills, but suppressed his own skills at the peak of the sixth level.
Shao Xi quickly pulled out the folding fan from his waist, unfolded it, and slapped the oncoming water jet directly.
Although Shao Xi suppressed his skills below the seventh level, his mental state was already above the seventh level. Therefore, although this fan did not show the concrete form of vitality, the internal force it released was extremely powerful.
This fan blows out like a strong wind and waves, extremely fast and fierce. When the energy collides with the water blade shaped like a blade, it makes a loud noise like a huge wave hitting the cliff.
The water knife was immediately smashed into pieces, and the scattered water drops hit Qinchuan like a heavy rain.
Qin Chuan didn't seem to expect that the young man in front of him had such advanced skills that he could instantly smash the water knife he hit with all his strength, and he didn't react for a moment.
The scattered water drops "crackling" hit his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, which seemed to be a perfect fit for the occasion.
Originally! Wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat was just to keep out the rain. Now that Qin Chuan had prayed for rain, he got it, so his outfit was not in vain.
Just as he was stunned, Shao Xi had landed lightly on the bow of the ship, lighter than the water droplets that had just hit the ship's deck, without making a single sound.
As soon as the two people met, they gave each other a blow. However, Qin Chuan's goal was not achieved. Not only did he not make Shao Xi feel any embarrassment, but he himself looked a little embarrassed.
The old guy was naturally a little unwilling, and wanted to attack Shao Xi again, but at this time, both of them were already standing on the boat, and he had no room to use water to turn the blade.
So he simply switched to close combat, waving the paddle in his hand and swept towards Shao Xi.
Shao Xi had just landed on the bow of the boat and was about to speak when he saw the old guy on the other side was silent and wanted to sweep him off the boat with the oar.
At this moment, I couldn't help but start cursing my mother. I wondered if this old guy had been underground for too long. How could he be so irritable?
He started fighting without saying a word, and all the others were ruthless, forcing him, a good young man who respects the elderly and loves the young, to take action against him, an old man.
Since the two were fighting in close combat on the boat, the space for them to perform became very narrow, and the importance of body skills was naturally revealed at this time.
I saw Shao Xi flashing like a ghost, and instantly disappeared from the bow of the boat where he was just standing. Qin Chuan's paddle finally knocked him out of his loneliness. He couldn't help but froze in place for a moment.
He obviously didn't hit anything, but where did this man go? If I jumped into the river, I wouldn't hear the sound of falling into the water! Could it be that I have seen a real ghost?
While he was in a daze, he heard Shao Xi's voice coming from the stern of the boat behind him.
"Old man, it's not like I don't pay for the ride on your boat. Since you always invite me to get on the boat, why do you try to get me under the boat in a different way? Could it be that you want to get rich and kill me?"
Qin Chuan turned around when he heard the sound and saw Shao Xi standing at the stern of the boat with a smile, waving the folding fan in his hand.
He didn't even see clearly how Shao Xi escaped the blow he just received, let alone how Shao Xi walked around his body from the bow to the stern.
Just this skill made Qin Chuan shocked.
He has seen a lot of masters. Judging from the fight between Shao Xi and him just now, this young man should be at the peak of the sixth grade. Although he is higher than himself, what kind of master has he not seen in these years?
He had fought against masters of the "Qi Transformation Realm", and although he lost in the end, he had seen it before, but the young man in front of him was beyond his imagination.
She could appear like a ghost in front of him and walk around behind him without him noticing. To say she wasn't surprised would be a lie.
The errand assigned to him by "Judge Impermanence" Shen Bugai is to guard the gate here. If the visitor cannot defeat him, he will not be qualified to enter the next level, let alone negotiate business with "Judge Impermanence".
But now after the two sides met, he had launched two attacks in a row. The other party only responded passively but never fought back, and he did not even attack him from behind.
Although he was defeated in a strict sense, the defeat was a bit inexplicable. The other party didn't even hit him, so he felt that it couldn't be justified to admit defeat like this.
So he said in a deep voice with his hoarse voice: "If you don't fight back, don't even think about leaving."
Shao Xi was immediately angry at Qin Chuan's words, okay! He is still so aggressive at his age and is not allowed to leave without a fight.
So he smiled and asked Qin Chuan, "I wonder if this old man will live a long life?"
Qin Chuan was stunned by Shao Xi's question and couldn't help but ask: "Why are you asking?"
"It's nothing, I just think that old man, you are already old and you should be calm and reasonable in everything. It's not appropriate to fight and kill when you are old, isn't it?"
This time it was Qin Chuan who was almost angry. He thought to himself that there was nothing wrong with the man in front of him, right? Just because he looks a bit old, he refuses to fight back. Does this mean he respects himself or humiliates himself?
To be brought here by the person who leads the way, this person must have some understanding of the rules of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion. He is still reasoning with himself about this matter. Could it be that reading has damaged his brain?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said to Shao Xi, "Stop talking nonsense! Don't cross the river unless you defeat me."
After hearing what he said, Shao Xi also became stubborn. Why should I fight back when you ask me to fight back? Why do you say you won't let me cross the river, so I won't? I'm going to screw with you today!
Shao Xi raised his hands to Qin Chuan and said: "Since the old man refuses to cross the river with this junior, I don't dare to trouble the old man anymore. Thank you for bringing the boat here to avoid getting my feet wet. I would like to thank you!"
Qin Chuan didn't understand the meaning of Shao Xi's words for a moment. He was about to hit Shao Xi with the paddle again, but saw that Shao Xi had already jumped out to the other side of the river. This made it clear that he didn't want to be entangled with him anymore. , jump directly to the other side of the river.
This made Qin Chuan feel like he had been greatly insulted. He was originally guarding this river. Anyone who came had to fight with him on this river. Only those who could defeat him could cross the river to the other side.
But now this brat wants to jump directly to the other side without even returning his hand. Doesn't this show that he is too lazy to take care of himself?
Although it can be seen that his martial arts skills are higher than mine, he can't ignore himself so much, right? If he were to let him go like this, where would he put his old face?
So, Qin Chuan followed Shao Xi and jumped to the river bank. Before the two of them landed, he swung the oar in his hand and struck Shao Xi in the head.
A huge air blade like a sword chased behind Shao Xi and hit him. Shao Xi knew that this old guy wanted to sneak up on him from behind even if he didn't look back.
So he turned around in the air to face Qin Chuan, and used the folded fan in his hand as a dagger to sweep an air blade towards Qin Chuan.
At this moment, Shao Xi concentrated at least 70% of his energy. After the two energy energies collided violently in the air, strong energy fluctuations spread to the surroundings. The violent air waves generated simultaneously pushed the two people in the air to different directions. The direction was pushed out.
Shao Xi was pushed to the other side of the river, while Qin Chuan was bounced back to the small wooden boat by the air wave.
Qin Chuan landed on the boat with his feet and almost fell out of the boat without losing his balance. He just watched helplessly as Shao Xi landed on the opposite river bank.
According to the rules, Shao Xi has already stood on the other side. He can no longer pursue Shao Xi at this time. The attack just now was also his last chance.
Seeing Shao Xi standing on the river bank with a smile on his face, Qin Chuan was furious.
Unexpectedly, at the first level of his guarding, Shao Xi successfully crossed the Wangchuan River with only defense, without making any formal move against him from beginning to end.
In Qin Chuan's opinion, this was simply a humiliation to him, as if Shao Xi didn't bother to fight with him at all, but had successfully crossed the river with the help of his own attack.
This made Qin Chuan feel a strong sense of frustration, as if someone just dealt with you a few times and successfully passed the test, and you, a gatekeeper, are no more than that!
Qin Chuan was so angry that his beard almost fluttered, but there was nothing he could do at this moment. Shao Xi had already reached the other side of the river, which meant he had passed the first level. He could only stand on the boat and stare at Shao Xi, but he couldn't help it. There is no way.
According to the rules, he could not go ashore to pursue Shao Xi again, so he snorted bitterly, rowed the boat down the river, and disappeared into the darkness in a moment.
Shao Xi looked at Qin Chuan leaving and couldn't help but smile.
It was meant to be a breakthrough! There is no need to fight to the death. Why fight with others when you can save energy?
Shao Xi shook the folding fan in his hand twice and quickly closed it again. If he still fanned in this cold underground place in the middle of winter, could there be something wrong with his brain?
He needs someone to look at him to be handsome, but right now there is not even a ghost around him!
Shao Xi laughed to himself, shook his head, turned and walked towards a place with more firelight in the distance ahead.
