Yan Zhenfang returned to his sect, and his disciples were already waiting outside. The subordinate asked: "I wonder what the hall master did out to do, and why he came back at this time?"
Yan Zhen did not answer, but just looked around the Golden Fire Hall. The night was quiet, and one could hear a few crickets chirping and a few intermittent oriole calls. Under the moonlight, everything is covered with a layer of charm. Yan Zhen laughed heartily and said to himself: "A great future, beautiful rivers and mountains, let's enjoy it together in the future!"
The people under his command didn't know what he meant, and they didn't know what to do. But I heard Yan Zhen say to the disciples: "Everyone doesn't need to worry too much, it's better for each of you to have a rest!" Everyone was puzzled and slept peacefully for no reason.
The next morning, Yan Zhen got up early. After breakfast, Yan Zhen picked up his pen and wrote calmly on the desk: Put down your grudges. He also wrote meaningfully: Friendship and friendship are back. After writing it, I ordered it to be hung on my bedside. Then he went out and didn't walk far, but climbed to the roof of the Golden Fire Hall.
At that time, the morning breeze was strong, and Yan Zhen stopped on the roof and looked up into the distance. In front of us, there are surging green mountains and mist-shrouded mountains, which are not very magnificent. In the near-sighted Golden Fire Hall, the willows and flowers are bright, and the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing. Yan Zhen felt at ease and nodded unconsciously. Looking back at the vague city walls and the curling smoke in the distance, Yan Zhen seemed to see the green and warm willow forest from the hazy scenery again. The lingering memories came to mind again, "Let him stay in my heart forever!" Yan Zhen smiled slightly without realizing it...
Another afternoon, Yan Zhen sat in meditation in the hall. Suddenly Zhang Bushan rushed back from Hangzhou to see him. He replied: "Two days ago, my subordinates encountered Lu Yun, the best swordsman in the world, in Lin'an City. He threatened to compete with the hall master at the top of Pioneer Mountain in seven days. There is not much time left. Please make a decision, master!"
Yan Zhen sighed and said, "I haven't heard from my mentor for a long time. I had a grudge earlier and made my old friend come back again. Why don't you go and see me?" Then he ordered Zhang Bushan to say, "Quickly prepare for the battle at Pioneer Mountain." Zhang Bushan obeyed the order and retreated. . Yan Zhen said to himself: "I can let go of the grievances in the world, how can the people in the world forget the blood and tears!"
Time flies like lightning, how can we withstand the wait for seven days? In the blink of an eye, the time for martial arts competitions on Pioneer Mountain has arrived, and the top of Pioneer Mountain is already crowded with martial arts people from all sects. Beggar Clan Shilu Clan leader led two elders Mu Jianxing and Li Chunxing and dozens of Beggar Clan disciples to stand westward on the top of Pioneer Mountain. Xiao Yuerong, Wu Hongyan, Yang Yu, Yun Lingyan and the Beggar Gang from the Natural Sect stood on one side and faced west. Master Kongyun of Shaolin Temple led his disciples Wuliang and Wuhui and ordered more than a dozen young monks to stand in the same direction next to the Natural Gate.
The three parties that met were the Niu Gui Snake Devil under the Tianmen Gambling Bureau, Liu Li Zhan from the Flying Eagle Gang, Dong Yijian and others. Between the two groups of completely different factions were the troops from various martial arts factions who had been surrendered by Jinhuotang. There were no less than a thousand people, separating the two factions, and they were densely packed on the top of Pioneer Hill. Zhang Bushan stood majestically in front of the crowd. Lu Yun stood among the crowd with Yan Yue Dao in hand, waiting for Yan Zhen's arrival.
Not long after, Yan Zhen stepped onto the top of Pioneer Mountain in the morning breeze. The noisy top of Pioneer Mountain suddenly became quiet. The bull demon and snake demon had long heard that Yan Zhen was sweeping the rivers and lakes, but could not see him in person. Seeing Yan Zhensheng being so heroic and domineering, with a look of arrogance and arrogance in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. The Ghost Emperor spoke first and said: "Yan Zhen, I have heard for a long time that you are seeking to dominate the world and are undefeated. Today's meeting will be held at Pioneer Mountain Top, do you have the guts to compete with the three of us, the Cow, the Ghost and the Snake?"
Yan Zhen glanced sideways at the bull, ghost, and snake, and sneered: "I had known that the three thieves, the bull, the ghost, and the snake, were despicable, but they actually took refuge in the Tianmen gambling bureau and falsely claimed to be a generation of martial arts seniors. I will stay here after my discussion with my mentor, and I will teach you one by one!"
The Ghost Emperor was very angry after hearing what Yan Zhen said. He wanted to deal with Yan Zhen together with the cow camel, but the snake demon hurriedly stopped and said: "Yan Zhen is an arrogant person. There is no need to compete with him for a while. It will not be too late to teach him a lesson later." The two of them followed the snake demon's words and stopped acting rashly. But Yan Zhen didn't care how the three of them acted. He walked directly towards Master Kongyun and bowed to see Master Kongyun first. Kong Yun nodded slightly. Without saying much, he chanted: "Amitabha!" Yan Zhen bowed deeply, and then went to the stone road to pay tribute. The stone road is full of emotions.
Then Yan Zhen returned to the field and came to Lu Yun to see him. Lu Yun spoke first, "Yan Zhen, do you know that the sages of all generations of martial arts have competed here to discuss matters?"
Yan Zhen nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help but think of the time when the great hero Shuo fell off the cliff here and died. Even more distressed.
Lu Yun sighed to himself: "It's a pity that things have changed. People are like yesterday, today is not yesterday, everything is like dust!" After sighing, Lu Yun picked up the knife in his hand and said to Yan Zhen seriously: "The relationship between master and disciple between us has been broken long ago. , today’s showdown, the previous grievances have been settled from now on. Please all my martial arts colleagues to be witnesses!” After saying this, Lu Yunfu said to Yan Zhen: “Hurry up and come here with your sword!”
Yan Zhen was heartbroken when he heard what Lu Yun said, but he just said: "Senior will always be Yan Zhen's mentor."
Lu Yun saw that Yan Zhen was indifferent at this moment, so he jumped up and struck Yan Zhen's head with his knife without thinking.
Yan Zhen calmed down slightly, but when he saw Lu Yun coming at him with his sword, he did not fight with him head-on. With a little movement of his feet, he floated three feet away, dodging Lu Yun's sword. When Lu Yun saw the knife flying away, and when the tip of the knife lightly touched the rocks, she did not fall down with her. Instead, she raised her energy and thrust her body sideways towards Yan Zhen. The sword flashed, and the sword swept towards Yan Zhen's neck. Yan Zhen stabilized his lower body, raised his body like an iron bridge, and dodged another knife attack.
Lu Yun's sword was not used effectively. When Yan Zhen leaned up to avoid the Yanyue Knife, the knife was less than two inches away from Yan Zhen's face. Lu Yun stopped his force and turned his wrist. The Yanyue Knife's head suddenly changed from horizontal to vertical. Lu Yun held the handle of the knife in his hand and faced Yan Zhen. Taking advantage of his falling position, he struck again with the knife. These three swords are all life-killing moves. The slightest difference can lead to death.
In the flash of lightning, Yan Zhen had not yet risen, so he sank three inches further in vain, and at the same time kicked out with one foot, hitting the Yanyue knife shaft in the middle. Lu Yun's knife couldn't cut, and he stared at it with anger. In addition to using one foot to block the shaft of his knife, Yan Zhen's index and middle fingers of both hands had firmly locked the back of the Yanyue knife, making Lu Yun unable to chop. When Lu Yunfang wanted to use his skills to slash again, Yan Zhen no longer gave him a chance. At this moment, Yan Zhen's figure seemed to be hit by a spring. He bowed and leisurely floated back six feet away from Yanyue's sword, and then neutralized Lu Yun's sword.
Lu Yun's body had already landed on the ground. He held the knife in one hand and said with a little face: "Now you know how to give in. When you hurt Murong's enemy with your palm and harmed the Natural Gate, why didn't you show mercy? Why did you not show mercy when you harmed the loyalty of various martial arts factions? Don't you know how to give in?" After Lu Yun stopped shouting, Yan Zhen retorted speechlessly. He just shook his head and said: "There is no way to save the day."
"Look at the knife!" Lu Yun said no more, tapped the rock with his toes, and swung the knife lightly towards Yan Zhen. Yan Zhen flew up in awe, inserted his long knife upside down on the rock, took over Lu Yun's move with the knife, and gently pushed it away. Yan Zhen twisted his wrist, and the Yanyue Sword flashed like a sword in his hand. With another flash, the sword struck Lu Yun back.
Lu Yun marveled at how fast Yan Zhen's sword skills were. When the swords connected horizontally, his wrists were slightly numb from the shock. When he was about to use his power to push it away, he never imagined that Yan Zhen's sword was even more powerful. The powerful force was only He forced Lu Yun away from Yan Zhen's blade and retreated a few feet away, gathering his figure. Lu Yun thought to himself: "No wonder Yan Zhen has unified the world with just a snap of his fingers. With such vast and domineering skills, who in the world can rival him?"
Bang! There was another ear-splitting sound of iron weapons clashing, causing sparks to fly everywhere. In the blink of an eye, two figures as fast as meteors had already fought more than thirty moves on the top of Pioneer Mountain. Everyone was surrounded by swords and leaping figures. Zhong secretly marveled. Yuerong on the side was even more shocked to realize that Yan Zhen's martial arts had improved a lot compared to the last time they met in Xianyun Pavilion. In terms of swordsmanship, his swiftness and magnificence are on par with Lu Yun's, but in terms of skill, he is far superior to Lu Yun. In this competition, it can be seen that Yan Zhen did not use all his strength to fight. If he had used all his strength to fight, Lu Yun would have been defeated by Yan Zhenyan's moon sword.
Swish, swish, swish! Three more swords struck, and in the flash of white light, Lu Yun was forced back to a rock by Yan Zhen's powerful Yan Yue sword. Lu Yun jumped up and saw Yan Zhen blocking the two-foot-tall rock by his sword. Cut off. Before Yan Zhen could sheath his sword, the rock that had been chopped off more than a foot in length hit Yan Zhen in the opposite direction. Seeing this, Lu Yun hurriedly used a move to 'turn the world upside down' in the void, and then used a move to turn the river upside down and turn the sea into a sword light, and counterattacked towards Yan Zhen.
