Chapter 117: Sword Dao Liu Se Xin

The early morning light shines through the dense mountain fog, dyeing the jungle with golden light. Looking around, there is morning glow and mist everywhere.

The disciples of Tianshu Academy woke up early and had breakfast, all with serious expressions on their faces.

They asked that the first battle of Lingjian Mountain would be held today, with He Lingxiu from Zizai Hall fighting against Yan Shujing from Xuanjian Peak. It would be divided into three games, and the winner would be the one who won two games.

Although it was He Lingxiu who drew the sword, she represented Tianshu Academy, so everyone felt nervous.

So during the entire breakfast process, they talked much less.

Although they spoke less, many disciples from the outer courtyard of Lingjian Mountain who were around them would glance at them from time to time with a slightly unfriendly smile on their faces.

You Buyu had been concentrating on cultivating the Dao these days, not paying attention to the storm outside. At this moment, he couldn't help but frowned slightly: "What are they talking about?"

Wang Yue, who was following You Buyu, said in a low voice: "Ji You from the outer courtyard went to Tianjian Peak to enter the sword forest yesterday."

You Buyu turned his head and looked at him: "Jian Lin?"

"I just heard about it yesterday. There is a sword forest on the Tianjian Peak of Lingjian Mountain. Those who pass through the sword forest can practice the sword art of Lingjian Mountain."

Wang Yue put his arm on the table and said, "Ji You has always been obsessed with swords. I believe he had been thinking about it for a long time. He went to the sword forest not long after going up the mountain."

Fang Linchao had also heard some rumors, but was puzzled at the moment: "I heard that people from the Daoist Sect and the Shanhai Pavilion also went to break in, but why did these people have such a mocking attitude towards our Tianshu Academy?"

"Because that Ji You caused some jokes."

"What's the joke?"

"It is said that the last sword of the first sword forest is called [Small Sword Forest]. The weakest Tongxuan initial stage in Lingjian Mountain only used eight swords to pass it. But Ji You used sixteen swords yesterday. Moreover, after he entered the second sword forest, he was cut out again not long after."

Wang Yue then continued, "The disciples of Shanhai Pavilion and Wendao Sect were also on the mountain at the time and saw the whole mess."

You Buyu's face was gloomy, and his voice immediately became sharp: "I said early on that no one is allowed to cause trouble, but I didn't expect that there are still people who don't listen!"

"Ji You was originally a private cultivator from the countryside, and he has no rules in his mind. He was the same that day in Danzong, taking people out for a stroll without permission. Later, I heard from the disciples that someone suspected that they had secretly gone to the medicine pool..."

“?!”

After Dan Zong's group left, the auras of Ji You, Ban Yangshu and the others all improved significantly, causing a lot of private discussion.

Although others have no evidence, it is okay for them to spread rumors.

Wang Yue originally thought about not disturbing his senior brother's spiritual resolve before the battle so he didn't say anything, but at this moment he couldn't help but let it slip.

"What an unruly person! It's fine if they're in Dan Sect, but they're still like this in Lingjian Mountain. Are they really going to disgrace Tianshu Academy?"

"He broke into someone else's sword forest and made such a laughing stock. Even if Junior Sister He and I win, Lingjian Mountain will definitely use this as an article to ridicule us. How can Tianshuyuan still have any glory!"

Wang Yue and Fang Linchao looked at each other and frowned.

What Senior Brother You said is indeed true.

Originally, they only needed to win and then go down the mountain, which would have restored face for Tianshu Academy, and the Great Xia Holy Sect would still dominate the world.

But Ji You was so bold and reckless that he created trouble at this moment and ended up becoming a laughing stock.

In the battle of asking for the way today and tomorrow, even if Senior Sister He and Senior Brother You win, this glory will be greatly reduced.

"I finally understand why the Office of the Directors has been targeting Ji You."

"Even if we put aside the Chu family's factors, Ji You has no regard for the honor of being a disciple of Tianshu Academy!"

"If this person stays in the Heavenly Academy, he will definitely be a disaster. After the discussion, I will definitely ask my aunt to expel him from the mountain gate!"

After You Buyu said this in a stern voice, the piece of bamboo chopsticks in his hand had broken into pieces.

He had always disliked Ji You, especially Yuan Caiwei's drastically different attitudes towards them, which made him deeply disgusted. At this moment, when he heard these rumors, he felt even more furious.

At the table behind them, Wen Zhengxin and Pei Ruyi looked at them for a while, then turned to their own table.

"Junior brother, did you really go to the sword forest of Lingjian Mountain?"

Ban Yangshu nodded while holding the bowl of porridge: "This matter was widely spread last night, and only a few people didn't know about it."

Pei Ruyi lowered his voice and said, "Junior Brother Ji was talking about coming to learn swords before he came. I'm not surprised that he went to the Sword Forest, but why did he use sixteen swords?"

"Lingjian Mountain disciples start learning swordsmanship as soon as they enter school. What's strange about learning swordsmanship faster? Junior Brother Ji's swordsmanship was taught by Lao Wang. It's not the right way to start with. What's strange about using it a few times to get used to it?"

“But Junior Brother should know that even if he passes through the Sword Forest, Tianjian Peak will not teach him…”

"Junior brother said earlier that he was gaining enlightenment through observing the sword. Perhaps he doesn't need to be taught. But have you ever heard of such a thing before?"

Ban Yangshu shook his head: "If it is so easy to learn the way of the sword, the swords of Lingjian Mountain would have spread all over the world long ago..."

Bai Rulong was drinking porridge and did not participate in the chat, but his face looked a little serious.

After going up the mountain yesterday morning, he rested for a while and planned to go to Lingjian Mountain to find Brother Ji.

As a result, as soon as I walked outside Brother Ji's yard, I found that there seemed to be someone guarding the mountain road, and there were sounds of fighting and screams of pain coming from Brother Ji's room.

He suspected that Brother Ji was forced to go to Jianlin to embarrass himself.

Only he knows this truth.

After breakfast, He Lingxiu, who had not said a word, stood up with her sword in hand. The other disciples looked at each other and followed her out the door.

At this time, at the Wangxiantai of Lingjian Mountain, disciples from the Wendao Sect, Shanhai Pavilion and Lingjian Mountain had already gathered, and looking around, there were huge crowds of people.

In addition to the disciples of these three sects, there were also disciples from the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace, the Chen family, and their Tianshu Academy sitting in the corner.

Because there are so few of them, it's hard to see them unless you look closely.

On the halfway slope of the cliff in front, the head of Shanhai Pavilion, the direct disciple of the Dao Sect and several elders of Lingjian Mountain were already seated.

However, what made the disciples of Tianshuyuan frown the most was that in addition to these people, there was another group of people on the right side of the high cliff.

Sitting in the front was a young man with blue eyes and faint scales on his neck. Behind him was a sturdy middle-aged man with short horns on his head and a silver spear in his hand.

Although the demons entered the country in order to trade with humans, everyone knew that they were actually targeting the human race.

However, the spillover of Dan Zong's alchemy skills cast a cloud of suspicion over the Daotong incident, causing the demon clan to not act rashly.

In addition to the Taoist tradition, what the demon race is most interested in is the strength of the human race.

Previously, the immortal cultivators of Qingyun Continent had seen a chariot pulled by strange beasts heading to Qingzhou and hovering near the Chen family, as if intending to watch the battle.

However, people from Shanhai Pavilion and the Tianjian Peak of Lingjian Mountain were invited to the mountain. No one knew what kind of compromise they had made. They didn't even know whether their leader Chen Ruhai was dead or not. In short, the war did not break out.

So after some twists and turns, the chariot pulled by the strange beasts arrived in Lingzhou.

Compared with the huge crowds at Wangxiantai, the sword forest at this time was quiet.

Perhaps it was because the disciples of Shanhai Pavilion and Wendao Sect had already figured out that it would be impossible to conquer Elder Qi's sword forest without a full month of practice, so they had less thoughts about it.

The disciples of Lingjian Mountain felt that they still had plenty of time and were not in a hurry. They wanted to go and see the excitement of the Tianshu Academy.

So the only person left in the silent bamboo forest was a swordsman in white, who came from the mountain path and walked into the forest with an iron sword in hand.

Last night, I roasted sweet potatoes with the young master of Lingjian Mountain, just like we did in the room of Tianshuyuan on winter days, but... I didn't hug him.

The main reason was that after eating the roasted sweet potatoes, Yan Shuyi calmly dismissed Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao.

Ji You couldn't keep quiet and asked her if she wanted to hug him. He wanted to see her reaction, but the little master kicked him twice in the face with her white and tender feet, and then left with a murderous look on her face.

In fact, I shouldn't have said that. The last time I hugged her, she responded by pretending not to notice.

Although she was a little trembling when she first sat in my arms, she became more and more obedient afterwards, as if pretending that nothing had happened.

But now that I’ve spoken out, it may be very difficult to hug me in the future.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Ji You reached out for the sword with some regret, muttered something as he walked into the forest, and entered the second forest.

This place was also empty, but there were scattered medicine bottles all around, probably left by the disciples who came to Po Jian before.

"What a fucking lack of public morality..."

"Don't they know that Lingjian Mountain is my home and the cleaning is up to everyone?"

Ji You sorted out the medicine bottles, then picked up his sword and went deep into the second forest.

At this moment, the roar of swords began to appear in the originally silent forest, and murderous aura instantly rose.

He took a deep breath and took a step forward. He heard clanging sounds around his ears and the sharp sword energy instantly came towards him, making his face suddenly solemn.

Buzz——

Ji You wielded the sword and walked forward. The iron sword collided fiercely with the sword energy of the second level sword forest. With surging spiritual energy, he rushed forward fearlessly, and sword waves surged with every step.

With a clang, a fierce sword energy came down head-on, but was blocked by the iron sword.

The second sword energy followed directly towards his back, but Ji You blocked it by leaning sideways. The straight sword swept through his body, and the blood in his body continued to surge because of the fierceness of the sword energy.

"The murderous aura in this sword art is a little too strong."

"Isn't it used to train disciples of Spirit Sword Mountain? How could they not hold back at all..."

Ji You swung his sword energy away and stood in the deep green bamboo forest, frowning slightly.

The sword intent in the sword energy can reflect the sword heart. The sword intent will be determined by the sword wielder's mentality.

As he walked from the first forest to the second forest, all he felt was Elder Qi's desire to kill.

Ji You didn't think much about it, and then swung his sword forward, and sword paths rose up from all directions.

He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, constantly changing his sword style while dodging and fighting with the sword energy in the forest.

Erchong Lin's sword intent was indeed powerful. He felt pressured after just a few straight sword strikes and needed to use strong spiritual energy to hold the sword.

The spiritual energy in his body is much more powerful than that of ordinary people, yet he still feels pressure. It is no wonder that those who have entered the Tongxuan realm here have been trapped for so long.

Elder Yan Ye of Tianjian Peak once said that he did not have enough time and might not be able to meet [Liu Sexin].

But what she didn't know was that Ji You's spiritual energy was far beyond that of ordinary people.

With a splash, Ji You walked into the center of the second forest like drawing a sword from the water, facing the vast sword energy.

He always uses multiple swords to fight against the enemy, and it is true that people say he uses tricks. But when he uses a single sword to capture the enemy's sword and slash, he is even more impressed by the exquisite swordsmanship of Lingjian Mountain.

Elder Qi is truly an immortal cultivator who has devoted his entire life to swordsmanship.

Buzz——

Ji You swung the sword and looked back, the sword whistled through the forest, the sword moves were connected continuously, the sword moves formed into a circle and kept slashing wildly.

In one hour, he only walked five meters. His full chest was heaving violently, and hot steam was rising as his blood and energy surged.

At this time, Ji You had already felt a powerful sword intent brewing deep in the bamboo forest, as if waiting for him.

Getting excited...

Ji You picked up his sword and went away without saying a word. Countless sword strikes flew towards him, and the wind and waves caused his white robe to flutter wildly, and then he was suddenly cut down by the iron sword.

Be quick!

Even faster!

Ji You continued to dance with the sword, and at the same time freed up the Qi points in his body to continuously inhale and exhale spiritual energy. Facing the fierce sword path, his own sword intent began to boil, rushing straight into the sky, startling the wind and rain.

The clanging sounds continued in the forest, with horizontal slashes, circular cuts, piercings, and flying strikes, and countless murderous sword energies were cut off by the blades.

Then a loud sword chanting sound rose from the forest, and Ji You saw an extremely sharp sword rising into the air.

The sword guarding the second sword forest is Liu Se Xin.

Compared with the previous [Xiao Chongshan] which was heavy, vast and full of oppression, [Liusexin] released an extreme sharpness.

This sharpness made Ji You feel a shudder at this moment, and he felt that even a gentle touch like the breeze blowing on a willow would be cut off.

At this moment, surging spiritual energy burst out from his hand, enveloping the entire sword body.

Ji You walked towards the [Liu Se Xin] with a long sword in hand, and then directly faced it with the sword.

Most sword skills in the world are about gaining advantage, but the sword he swung towards [Liu Sexin] was extremely dull and heavy, as heavy as a mountain.

As a result, the two opposing sword energies collided fiercely in an instant, and the wildly dancing aura continued to spread in the forest, expanding out like ripples of a stone thrown into a lake.

Rising, condensing, falling, rising, condensing, falling.

Ji You's sword was roaring continuously, and five swords had risen successively in the bamboo forest.

If it weren't for the strong spiritual energy surrounding the sword, Ji You had no doubt that he would be chopped into pieces along with the iron sword in his hand...
