Facing the vigorous young people, Guan Liyuan did not discourage their enthusiasm.
Guan Liyuan stretched out his hand, seemingly casually pointing, but invisible sword energy gushed out, directly scratching the ground between him and the Lin family disciples, and a fist-deep crack appeared! The sound of
sucking
in cold air rang out among the Lin family disciples, and Lin Tiannan looked at this scene in disbelief. This is the martial arts field, the ground of bluestone bricks!
Even in today's martial arts, there are probably no more than five people who can do this with invisible sword energy, especially... Guan Liyuan seems to be lifting heavy things lightly and doing it casually.
This boy's martial arts is probably better than mine. Lin Tiannan came to a conclusion that he was quite proud of himself.
However, it was not over yet, and Guan Liyuan said: "Those who can pass this mark within three hundred breaths can go with me!"
When Guan Liyuan just finished speaking, everyone was stunned, as if they didn't understand what Guan Liyuan meant.
Being able to use invisible sword energy to scratch a fist-deep scratch on the bluestone ground does show Guan Liyuan's strength, but... How difficult is it to "pass this scratch"?
It's only half a palm wide, can't you just walk over it casually? Luoli would be tripped, right?
Before anyone could question it, several Lin family disciples, including Lin Tiannan, stared at the sword scratch in a daze, and soon sweat appeared on their heads...
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Lin Yueru asked in confusion.
Lin Tiannan was shaken by his daughter's arm twice, and then he came back to his senses: "So that's it, so that's it... Young Master Guan... Brother Guan's martial arts are superb, Lin admires it!"
Guan Liyuan's sword scratch was not only engraved into the ground, but also left his own will in it!
It is naturally not difficult to cross the half-palm-wide sword scratch, but it is difficult to still be able to move under the sword will...
Although Guan Liyuan is not a professional sword cultivator, but... he has profound attainments in the spiritual field. If you want to cross this sword scratch, it is equivalent to having a fight with a peerless swordsman in the spiritual realm!
Of course, Guan Liyuan just made a casual stroke, so this will has a time limit of about three hundred breaths...
Even Lin Tiannan turned his head away when he was talking, so as not to be affected by it. Naturally, his disciples could not cross it!
Moreover, the disciples of Linjiabao now looked at Guan Liyuan with admiration, without the initial reluctance.
"This... My daughter has always admired chivalrous men, I wonder if you can help me?" Lin Tiannan retreated under his daughter's gaze.
Although he did not ask other disciples to follow, he still hoped that his daughter would go with "Mr. Tang".
"Forget it, if it's one person, you can do whatever you want." Guan Liyuan was also worried that Lin Yueru would follow secretly.
However, since Lin Yueru followed, Nangong Huang knew that he could not leave for the time being, so he simply proposed to stay and train his disciples. Just now, Li Xiaoyao stared at the sword mark for a long time under Guan Liyuan's sword illusion, which made Nangong Huang very satisfied.
In the end, only Guan Liyuan, Xuejian, Ling'er, and Lin Yueru went.
The reason why he brought Ling'er was to let his apprentice see the world. After all, it was not worth mobilizing a large number of troops for a mere snake demon or fox demon. Even Wen Hui did not go with him!
Gai Luojiao did not want to waste time on such things, but from a moral point of view, Guan Liyuan's actions were impeccable...
Although Lin Yueru was puzzled as to why there were only three people traveling together, she had no objection as long as Tang Xuejian was there.
As soon as they went up the mountain, they saw an old man chopping wood, looking at the mountain road with tears in his eyes.
"Why are you crying here, old man?" Guan Liyuan took the initiative to ask.
Guan Liyuan suddenly spoke, scaring the old man. Fortunately, in order not to attract so much attention, Guan Liyuan kept his hair black, otherwise he would be scared.
"You want to go up the mountain? No, you can't go up this mountain!" the old man cried.
Guan Liyuan comforted them for a few words, and then asked about the cause and effect.
It turns out that the old man is a woodcutter from the village at the foot of the mountain. His granddaughter was captured by a monster on the mountain not long ago...
In fact, the people in the surrounding villages are not unfamiliar with the fox and snake monsters on the mountain. They have "made trouble" from time to time before, but most of them just went down the mountain to rob the village. What can there be? Most of them took away some livestock and poultry such as chickens, ducks, pigs and cows, but no one dared to say anything.
However, recently this snake monster has suddenly become more violent. It has captured young girls around. I am afraid that there are more than ten people. I don’t know whether they are alive or dead now, including the old man’s granddaughter!
"Don’t worry, old man, I am going up the mountain to eliminate monsters, and I will definitely save your daughter." Guan Liyuan comforted.
This snake monster and fox monster have never captured anyone on the mountain before, and I have never heard of the two monsters eating people. It can be seen that they should not be practicing the way of blood. As for those poultry and livestock... they should just eat normally!
The four continued to go up the mountain. On the way, Guan Liyuan found that some small snakes with a rudimentary spiritual intelligence were secretly monitoring in the mountains and forests, but they did not deliberately drive them away.
Now it seems that it should be the same as in the original work. The fox demon is pregnant and even about to give birth. Guan Liyuan is not afraid that they will escape.
"Oh! This road is so difficult to walk on. My boots are dirty!"
"Demon... Brother Guan, can you carry me on your back?"
"Oh, this snake is so disgusting."
"I don't want to eat dry food! I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake... What? You didn't bring it?"
Lin Yueru:...
Along the way, Xuejian pretended to be a stubborn person just as Guan Liyuan taught her, especially when a snake jumped out and landed on her, Xuejian pretended to be disgusted and threw it away, and it also threw it on Lin Yueru.
Just halfway through the journey, Lin Yueru was already depressed!
Before nightfall, Guan Liyuan followed the instructions of his father-in-law and found the location of the Hidden Dragon Cave...
He saw a snake demon, who was already waiting at the entrance of the cave. The lower half of his body was a snake tail, and the upper body was like a muscular man, holding a huge sickle in his hand. The more notable feature was... there was a third eye on his forehead!
"Where did you come from, little thing? Don't you know where this is? Get out, get out!" the snake demon drove him away. "You
daring monster! How dare you come down the mountain to rob the people? Today is the day you die!" Lin Yueru was upset and took the initiative to reply.
"What? A little monkey who hasn't even grown all his hair yet wants to be a hero? Get out of here if you know what's good for you. I'm happy today and don't want to see blood!" The snake demon was still immersed in the joy of having a daughter.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt awkward, and saw... the man in front of him was staring at his forehead.
"What are you looking at?" the snake demon asked angrily.
"Born this way?" Guan Liyuan pointed to his forehead.
Lin Yueru now suspected that although this guy was skilled in martial arts, his brain... might have some flaws!
It was clearly not an atmosphere suitable for chatting, but Guan Liyuan seemed to have no idea...
