Chapter 118 Three Steps and Three Looks Back

After noon, the temperature began to rise in early summer, but the breeze on Lingjian Mountain was still refreshing.

The eighth [Liusexin] fell, and Ji You was chopped and flew out, then he raised his sword again to meet it, as if he was tireless.

Under this strong sword energy, the surrounding green bamboos trembled violently, and the entire sword forest was filled with rustling sounds.

Then, the ninth [Liusexin] rose up amidst a buzzing sound, and the sword light pressed down as if to completely engulf Ji You.

But a dull sword intent immediately rose from under the sword, and it was raised with a clanging sound.

As the sword energies collided, another person walked out from the third forest.

He was wearing a dark blue robe and had a long sword tied at his waist.

The mountain was very lively today because disciples from the Tianshu Academy came to their Lingjian Mountain to ask questions. Almost all of the fellow practitioners in the sect went to watch the battle, but he did not go.

Because mentioning the three words "Tian Shuyuan" was like a humiliation to him.

Gongshu Chou walked to the second forest with a frown, and suddenly he heard a loud sword chant, and then he felt the sharp sword energy of [Liusexin].

He knew that someone was breaking into the second forest, so he turned around and looked. When his eyes met the white figure, his brows instantly frowned.

"Ji You..."

Gongshu Chou muttered to himself and stopped where he was.

During the siege of Tianshuyuan in the ruins, because his spiritual essence was suppressed by the evil spirit, he was nearly pierced through the heart by Ji You, who was only in the lower three realms at that time. Therefore, he would never forget this person in his life.

After returning to the mountain, he swallowed a lot of pills and his injuries have now healed, but the scar on his chest is just like the scar on his heart and cannot be removed.

Gongshu Chou looked at Ji You, who was immersed in swordsmanship and seemed unaware of his arrival, and could not help but reach out and grasp his sword.

The lingering sword intent and the murderous aura hidden in his heart continued to burst out at this moment.

But after thinking for a long time, Gongshu Chou did not draw his sword. Instead, he retracted his gaze and turned to walk out of the forest.

He did almost die at the hands of Ji You, which was a great shame for him at the Rong Dao realm.

But if it weren't for that stab, he would have definitely stayed in the ruins and continued to look for the immortal fate. Later, he was refined into a tonic pill by the ancestor of the Zheng family and became the immortal fate for someone else.

Therefore, Gongshu Chou couldn't figure out whether the stab was a revenge or a favor.

The humiliation must be returned because it concerns his own moral integrity, but at least this time, he can choose not to kill him.

Not killing is a favor, and once you repay this favor all that is left is hatred.

After Gongshu Chou finished thinking, he turned around and was about to leave, but before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Ji You with a slightly stunned look.

"Tianshuyuan went up the mountain yesterday morning and was arranged to stay before noon."

"How come he met Liu Sexin so soon?"

Gongshu Chou remembered the time when the disciples of Tianshuyuan went up the mountain, and his face was filled with surprise.

Because it has only been one day since yesterday noon, or even less than one day, and Ji You has appeared in front of [Liusexin] so smartly?

He had heard before that Ji You had now attained enlightenment, and thought that it would not be difficult for him to pass the first level.

However, the murderous aura in the second forest is stronger than that in the first forest, and the sword energy is also extremely strong. It has trapped many disciples of Lingjian Mountain. Some of those with unstable realms were trapped in the center of the forest yesterday, and they have not even seen what kind of sword Liu Sexin has.

Yesterday, someone clearly said that he had used sixteen swords to pass [Xiao Chong Shan], so how come he met [Liu Se Xin] so quickly after one night? "He really deserves to be the one who hurt me..."

Gongshu Chou thought about it for a long time and thought that although it was a bit fast, it was also reasonable.

Because if he was really just an ordinary person, no different from other immortal cultivators, how could I, who was at the Rong Dao realm, be hurt by him.

When he was in the ruins, he felt that the other party's spiritual energy was very strong, so it was not shocking that he could rush here without stopping for a moment.

At this moment, Gongshu Chou heard a sound of breaking air. When he looked up, he saw Ji You flying backwards from the fierce sword energy and falling to the ground.

Then, as if extremely unwilling, he rushed forward again and slashed at the reunited sword energy.

Gongshu Chou couldn't help but shook his head: "No matter how strong he is, he can only be this strong at this level."

The second forest is already the limit of the Tongxuan realm, and so far no cultivator at this realm has been able to take on [Liu Se Xin].

Even if Ji You is gifted and can reach the third level, it will probably take a long time.

But unfortunately, the battle has already started today, and even if we fight for two days and two nights, it will not be enough.

Gongshu Chou tried to leave for the third time, but stopped again after taking a few steps. He looked back again, and this time there was light in his eyes.

That's strange.

He didn't pay much attention to it just now, but only now did he realize that Ji You's sword intent had been changing.

If there is anyone in the world who is most familiar with Ji You's sword, it must be Gongshu Chou. Even Ji You's swordsman Wang Xin'an cannot match his familiarity with him.

Because Gongshu Chou really fought with Ji You with swords, and they even fought to the brink of life and death.

But now when he looked at his sword again, he found that both the aura and the intention were very different. There were many familiar flavors in it, but there was also a sense of strangeness in the familiarity, which seemed very mysterious...

He frowned slightly and watched silently, watching Ji You being chopped down again and again, and gradually lost his patience.

The sword intent was indeed becoming more and more mysterious, but its power did not increase at all.

There were even a few times when he was much weaker and was nearly hit in the shoulder. If it weren't for Ji You's quick reaction, he would have been covered in blood by now.

There were several more changes in sword style accompanied by changes in sword intent, which became extremely complex and unstable, but the following sword movements became extremely clean.

Gongshu Chou was puzzled, so he turned around and left.

Buzz——

Not long after Gongshu Chou left, a burst of clear sword energy spread out. Ji You put away his sword and retreated, with spiritual energy overflowing from under his feet.

At this time, the eighteenth [New Willow Color] spread among the bamboo forest, and the sword forest that had been stormy just now suddenly became quiet.

Ji You slapped the bamboo leaves on his body, then raised his sword and disappeared in a flash of light...

The sun soon began to spiral downward and moved forward little by little.

During this time, the sword chanting on the Wangxian Terrace never stopped, and it was also mixed with the roar of various laws, which continued to be loud in the empty valley surrounded by the three peaks, from early morning until noon.

Ji You, who had entered the third level of the sword forest, now retreated and walked down the mountain.

The sword of the second level Lin is very powerful and consumes a lot of his energy.

He is a little tired and hungry now, and is not in a very good condition.

The sword of the third level Lin is even stronger, and it is indeed not something that a disciple of the Tongxuan realm can fight head-on. He needs to rest and digest the energy.

At this time, Gongshu Chou, who had gone down the mountain to find food, walked towards Jianlin again. He happened to meet Ji You on the mountain path, and the atmosphere between their eyes began to freeze.

"Put away the bottles after taking drugs in the woods and don't litter (in my home)."

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

"?"

Gongshu Chou was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned, thinking, what does that mean? This is my Lingjian Mountain, not your Tianshuyuan! Ji You then passed him by, and frowned slightly as he walked down the mountain path, thinking that it was strange that Gongshu Chou didn't seem to have any killing intentions towards me.

Ji You put the sword back into the scabbard and walked towards the foot of Xuanjian Peak. From time to time, he heard loud sword chants constantly surrounding the mountains.

He stopped at the mountainside, golden light flashing in his eyes and his mind moving vigorously.

Wherever the eyes could see, He Lingxiu was surrounded by the light of magic, with thunder and fire reflecting in between, and he was constantly fighting with Yan Shujing in front of him with swords.

Yan Shujing from Xuanjian Peak kept striking with his sword as fast as a flying swallow, and the sound of his sword moves the sky.

Disciples in the Tongxuan realm might be able to see it clearly, but disciples in the lower three realms of perfection and below can only catch a glimpse of the afterimage.

Suddenly, the light and sword energy collided continuously, and the sword edges trembled continuously.

A man with fierce sword skills and a clear sword mind.

One has profound Taoism skills, often accompanied by the dance of wind, floating like a ghost, and at the same time, thunder magic is interweaving between the sword blades.

Then there was a loud bang, and He Lingxiu came with his sword. Lightning flashed in the sword light, and the violent aura could be clearly heard even on the mountainside, and the momentum was huge.

But this is not swordsmanship, this is magic.

Ban Yangshu once told him that the pure Taoist practitioners in Tianshuyuan often use the [All Dharmas Added to the Body] that He Lingxiu is displaying at this time.

Chu He was taken away by his family to preach, probably using magic of this kind.

But at this moment Ji You frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

Ji You is at the Tongxuan realm, and cannot tell who is higher or lower among those at higher realms, but he can sense the sword energy.

Yesterday in the sword forest, he and Yan Shujing had met once. When she just came out of the sword forest, her whole body was full of sword energy, which should be her strongest state.

But at this moment, Yan Shujing's sword intent was a little weaker than yesterday.

In other words, she hasn't used her full strength yet.

At this moment, footsteps were heard on the mountain path. Zhuo Wanqiu walked over and called him softly, "Young Master."

She and Ding Yao represented Xuanjian Peak and were in charge of this inquiry, but they were also ordered to serve Ji You personally, so the two of them arranged a shift, with Zhuo Wanqiu coming today and Ding Yao coming tomorrow.

When Ji You was in Jianlin, she was guarding at Wangjiantai. Now that she thought the time was almost up, she went to meet him.

"Which game is it?"

"The third game, one win and one loss."

And just as the two were talking, a boiling sword intent suddenly rose up.

Yan Shujing tapped his toes lightly, and the wild sword energy rose into the sky. The sword light was like the light of the bright moon, splitting the sky and slashing down.

There was silence on the Wangxian Terrace for five breaths, and all sounds stopped abruptly at this moment.

At this moment, at the edge of the platform, blood flowed from the corner of He Lingxiu's mouth, and his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

Seeing this scene, a look of disbelief flashed across the eyes of the Tianshu Academy disciples. Everyone froze at this moment, finding it difficult to accept the result before them.

They came all the way from the north, across Zhongzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou, to regain face for Tianshu Academy.

But they never expected that they would lose the first battle of the Tao.

"The Great Xia Holy Sect is really weak..."

"This is not even the full extent of Jing'er's strength. This girl is hiding her abilities a little bit."

On the high platform, the head of the Shanhai Pavilion's cabinet, the direct disciple of the Dao Sect and the elders of the Lingjian Mountain all twirled their beards and laughed softly, with no attempt to conceal their sarcasm.

At this time, on the other side of the platform, the son of the Demon Emperor, with blue demon eyes flashing, held up the folding fan, his eyes looking deep.

Before his father allowed him to enter Kyushu, he told him that he should be wary of the seven major immortal sects, especially the Tianshu Academy, when doing things.

But in today's battle, he didn't see anything about Tianshu Academy that required them to be wary of, at least from the perspective of combat power, he didn't see it.

However, Lingjianshan's performance this time was somewhat beyond his expectations.

If he was not afraid that the human race would say that the demon race was too arrogant, he would have wanted to send a few people to try out Yan Shujing's sword.
