Xiang Shen was so keen that he had already noticed it before Fourteen entered the hospital. The sword in his hand did not stop, but became more and more fierce.
The leaves dance with the tip of the sword into a long dragon, lingering around the body.
When he reached the final move, Xiang Shu's eyes suddenly turned cold. He retracted his sword and drew it again!
Groan——
The sword roared like a dragon's roar, and the leaves turned into swimming dragons and rushed towards Fourteen along the direction of the sword, as fast as lightning!
Fourteen was horrified and couldn't avoid it, so he had no choice but to accept the order.
Unexpectedly, the dragon would be scattered as soon as it collided with it, and the broken leaves would fill the sky, burying all fourteen of them in the blink of an eye. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Fourteen struggled to climb out of the pile of leaves, spit out the broken leaves in his mouth, raised his head and looked around, but there was no trace of Xiang Shen.
"Miss Shu has already entered the room."
Xiao Tao reminded with a smile: "You should tidy up your appearance first. It would be rude to go in like this."
"You still said that!"
Fourteen was angry and annoyed, "Miss Shu's swordsmanship is so good, she must have practiced it earlier! She is playing tricks on me, and you watch her every day without telling me?"
"What did I hide from you?"
Xiao Tao pouted, "I never said that Miss is amazing, you just don't believe it yourself."
"I thought... Oops! I won't tell you anymore."
Fourteen randomly brushed off the stray leaves on his body, ran into the house, and said angrily: "Miss Shu, you are too unkind!"
Xiang Shen sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and asked calmly, "Why am I not being kind?"
"You...you are so good at swordsmanship! You still want me to teach you."
Fourteen's face was hot, "My swordsmanship is so vulgar, you're secretly laughing at me, right?"
Xiang Shen shook his head and laughed, "I never laughed at you."
"Oh, anyway...the rumors misled me!"
Fourteen patted his head and said angrily: "I heard before that you are not good at martial arts. This is ridiculous! If you are not good at martial arts, wouldn't all my Xiang family elites be trained on dogs?"
"I have never been exposed to swordsmanship before."
Xiang Shu tried to explain.
Unexpectedly, Fourteen simply covered his ears and broke down and said: "I won't listen, you must have been practicing swordsmanship since you were a child! If you can practice like this in half a month, you... you might as well kill me!"
Xiang Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pulled his arm away and said, "Stop being ridiculous and get down to business."
Fourteen put down his hands, moved the stool closer, and hummed: "I knew it! It's definitely not good for you to suddenly show off with me. Let's talk about it. I'll do my best."
"This is not difficult for you."
Xiang Shen smiled slightly, "And only you can do it. If you succeed, I will teach you how to practice swordsmanship."
"real?"
Fourteen's eyes immediately shone, "Say it quickly and I will definitely do it!"
Xiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you recognize the inner disciple who got the mask in Tianqing Pavilion last time? Help me check his residence."
Fourteen's face changed slightly, and this time he consciously didn't ask any more questions, nodded in agreement and left in a hurry.
For the next few days, Shi Shi never showed up.
Xiang Shen was not in a hurry and practiced sword practice every day as usual. However, since he had consolidated his sword power, there was a lot of noise every time he practiced sword practice. Even if Xiao Tao was watching, it would inevitably be noticed by the servants.
If you have scruples in your heart, you will not be able to use your sword.
Xiang Shen felt that his entry was slowing down, so he simply asked Xiao Tao to provide cover, and changed the place where he practiced his sword every day to an inaccessible woodland in the back mountain.
In this way, Xiang Shen completely let go and studied swordsmanship sleeplessly. After overdraft, he supplemented it with Yuanquan healing practice. One day's work can be worth a hundred days. Whether it is cultivation or sword realm, it is a thousand miles.
Fourteen days later, it was early morning in the forest.
Xiang Shu held a three-foot green blade in her hand and stood in the middle of the open space. She stood still for a moment, then slowly swung the sword in her hand and drew it out.
Every move is a simple basic sword move, but when practiced in his hands, it reveals a natural feeling.
Suddenly, Xiang Shen's sword speed increased, and his body flashed with the sword. After several ups and downs, only a flash of sword light was seen. A three-inch deep hole appeared on the stone wall ten feet away on the opposite side.
Clang!
Sheathing the long sword, he ducked towards Shu and came to the front of the dodge. He wiped off the stone powder on the potholes with his fingertips and looked thoughtful.
. (The next page is more exciting!)
After half a month of painstaking study, extinguishing the candle three feet away has become a piece of cake.
The new limit is to face the enemy ten feet away and penetrate three inches with the sword.
She had reached this depth the day before yesterday and practiced hard for two days without making any progress.
If you want to make a new breakthrough, I'm afraid you have to truly reach the realm of "the union of sword and god" instead of just watching.
In addition to practicing swordsmanship in the past half month, she also tried to gather her strength several times, not for breakthrough, but to gain more insights. It's just that the more times it happens, the mind breaks and then stands again, and there is a tendency of transformation.
Now that his swordsmanship has reached a certain limit, if he can concentrate his efforts again, Xiang Shu feels that he is at least 70% sure that he can break through.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time.
Xiang Shen glanced at him. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
Tonight is August 16th.
Putting the long sword into the storage ring, Xiang Shen swept into the forest, and returned to the room through the back window after a while.
Xiao Tao had been waiting in the room for a long time. When she saw Xiang Shu appear, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "It's just past midnight. Miss Shu came back much earlier today and the hot water hasn't boiled yet."
"It doesn't matter, I'll read a book first."
Xiang Shu smiled, came to the study, sat down, and pulled out a piece of thin paper from a pile of books.
This is the information sent by Fourteenth. It was sent here earlier, but she has been concentrating on sword practice and has not read it yet.
She glanced at the entire text, and the corners of her lips suddenly curved.
After seven days of investigation, we found out not only this person's address, but also his spiritual cultivation, temperament, and daily routine.
"Gao Heng."
Xiang Shen read the name in a low voice. This person had a middle-grade spiritual root. He had been initiated for less than ten years and was in the early stages of foundation building. His personality was withdrawn and unpleasant. The elders of the sect had no intention of accepting him as a disciple.
This is the lowest class of people among the hundreds of inner disciples in Dangchen Peak. Their monthly contributions are meager and their cultivation is difficult. It is no wonder that they have alien intentions and want to switch to Tianyan Sect.
With a thought in Xiang Shen's mind, the paper in his palm instantly turned into powder and floated away.
At noon, there is Kui Zi No. 42 Courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
As usual, Gao Heng stepped back and came to the quiet room to sit down. He was about to close his eyes, adjust his breath and meditate, when he suddenly felt something strange behind him.
Just as he was about to turn around, a long sword suddenly appeared across his neck. The sword's edge was so sharp that it hurt his skin.
Gao Heng's face changed slightly, "Who are you?"
While speaking, he quietly retracted his left hand into his sleeve, and just as he was about to touch the sect's warning mechanism, he heard the person behind him chuckle in a hoarse voice: "If I were you, I wouldn't touch it. You don't want to touch it either. Everyone knows about the Tianyan Sect incident, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Heng's face changed drastically, he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, and said angrily: "You! What are you talking nonsense about? What Tian Yan Sect is, I don't know at all..."
"I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be false?"
Xiang Shen's smile continued as he spoke, "Don't worry, I'm just here for the mask, and I won't kill you."
Hearing the word "mask", Gao Heng suddenly lost all luck. Without saying a word, he took out the mask from the storage ring, put it next to him, and hummed: "Tianyan Sect is just a cover, I was just deceived." , you can take this mask."
Xiang Shu put the mask into the blood ring, then stretched out his hand: "Storage ring."
Gao Heng immediately became angry and shouted angrily: "This is a gift from the sect. It is a status symbol. Don't bully others too much!"
"Don't worry, what do I want from your identity?"
Xiang Shen mobilized his sword power and cut a layer of flesh and blood on his neck, but his words still contained a hint of laughter, "This mask looks ordinary, and I have never seen a real one. If you are faking it, what can I do?" Can you see? It’s better to let me check the storage ring in person than to lose your life, don’t you think so, Senior Brother Gao?”
With severe pain in his neck, Gao Heng trembled slightly and shouted sternly: "You will be punished for harming your fellow sect members! Aren't you afraid that the sect will find out about you?"
"Check? How to check?"
Xiang Shen leaned close to Gao Heng's ear and whispered: "Who has seen me after you died? Even before you died, do you know what I look like? Or if I kill you and immediately defect to Tianyan Sect, then The side will definitely protect me. If you have nothing to rely on in the door, who will stand up for you?"
Xiang Shu's voice was very soft, but every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting Gao Heng's heart.
He was not taken seriously in the sect, but now he is like this. (The next page is more exciting!)
Listening, I felt even more panicked.
Money is nothing but an external possession, and the person behind it behaves erratically. If he really kills him...how can he afford to gamble?
Thinking of this, he immediately took off the storage ring and said, "I have recognized the Lord and solved it. You..."
Before he finished speaking, the ring in Gao Heng's hand was snatched away.
After just a few breaths, Gao Heng felt a light touch on his neck and the long sword disappeared.
He immediately turned around, only to see that there was nothing behind him except for one storage item left on the ground.
He turned around and saw the window was half open. Only then was he convinced that the person had left, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
He picked up the storage ring and recognized its owner again. His consciousness swept through it and he smiled bitterly.
I saw that in the one-foot-wide space, there was only the identity token left, and nothing else was left.
Fortunately, the man kept his promise and spared his life.
Gao Heng felt lucky in his heart. He stood up and waved his sleeves to seal the window, then hid in the secret practice room and activated the formation. Only then did he feel safer.
If the mask is lost, people from the Tianyan Sect will most likely come looking for him, so he'd better... avoid it.
At night, the sky is clear and the full moon hangs high. \./hand\./machine\./version\./first\./issue\./update\./new~~
Xiang Shen silently counted the time, and when midnight was approaching, she put on the mask given by Lu Yushan and went to Zhaoshui Pavilion.
At the same time, Fourteen also wore Gao Heng's mask and set out from near Gao Heng's residence.
The two met at a place on the road. Fourteen took off his mask and handed it to Xiang Shu, with a solemn look on his face: "Be careful in everything."
Xiang Shen curled his lips slightly and said, "Don't worry."
A moment later, in the elegant mountain garden.
Hei Jue held a disk in his hand and suddenly raised his head and said: "Master, Xiang Shen has moved and is on the way to Zhaoshui Pavilion. All other disciples waiting for the assessment have also arrived."
Lu Yushan opened his eyes, turned his palm, and an emerald-colored jade seal appeared in his palm.
Then I saw him pinch out a seal with one hand and throw it into it. The jade seal rotated several times, and the light suddenly shone brightly, throwing a shadow into the lake beside Zhaoshui Pavilion.
Just when Xiang Shen arrived, he saw a whirlpool glowing with green light suddenly appearing in the water, and many masked people jumped into it one after another.
Without saying a word, Xiang Shu followed the others and threw themselves into the lake together.
Until the last person entered, the lake surface became smooth and the vortex suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before. .
