At this moment, outside of the Tiegang Hall, Xuanyuan Yiren was standing at the bottom of the stone steps, looking on anxiously.
Her pair of small hands clenched tightly and then suddenly loosened. She wanted to peek, but this stone hall was really tightly sealed. A few windows were opened high up.
She could only helplessly wait outside, wishing that she had a day wandering realm spell to be able to disregard this wall.
"Who knows how Zong Shou and Father's discussion is going?"
Thinking back to when she came out, Xuanyuan Tong's cold and solemn expression, Xuanyuan Yiren's brows furrowed, filled with worry. However, she calmed down.
Zong Shou's eloquence wasn't weak, and he was always polite when he spoke. He would definitely be able to have a good discussion with Father. As long as he showed a little of his ability, it would solve Father's worries. There wasn't much to worry about.
If he knew about his sword techniques, Father would be like Hu Qianqiu. That surprise. Who knows, he might drag Zong Shou down and have a good drink.
Thinking about that, Xuanyuan Yiren's eyes were filled with anticipation, her lips curling up as she smiled brightly.
Looking at the surrounding martial cultivators, they were all startled. Although they didn't know why this little princess of Xuan Mountain City was so happy. However, this smile was really nice to look at, pleasing to the eye.
However, when they thought about how such a flower might be stuck on the body of the person in the hall, they felt even more worried.
※ ※ ※
Within the stone hall, there wasn't the peaceful atmosphere that Xuanyuan Yiren had imagined. Blade shadows were everywhere, Zong Shou's body instantly appeared. In the eyes of everyone, it was like numerous Zong Shou had appeared, but also like from start to finish, he was stunned on the spot.
Closely after, there was a sharp "keng" sound. When the sky full of sword light retracted, only to see Zhu Junhou's halberd and Tan Tao's mandarin duck knife mysteriously clashing together.
In the eyes of the two of them, they didn't even have time to show shock before they were forced back several steps by the huge force.
The sword light in Zong Shou's hand once again scattered over. Like stars, it covered Zhu Junhou, scoffing lightly, "Let go!"
Zhu Junhou's eyes instantly flashed sharply, rage rising. In the next instance, he was shocked. Only to see the sword light in front of him turn into an eye-catching milky way, falling over. It dazzled one's eyes, making him feel that there was no weakness on his body. Where the Sword Light pointed at, it seemed like it was going to cover all of his vitals.
At this moment, he finally understood Luo Xian's pain. He was like a fool, allowing Zong Shou to beat him up.
… Such a sword was unblockable and unavoidable! Under the cover of this sky full of stars, he was completely at a loss. He had no idea how he should deal with it!
How did this Gantian Mountain Prince have such exquisite and terrifying sword techniques? Where did he learn it from?
In that instant, Zhu Junhou bit the tip of his tongue. He knew that he had no other way to face such a sword technique. He could only disregard his life and fight it out with attack, using a life for a life, using an even stronger aura to counterattack!
However, just as the true qi in his body was gathering up. However, he felt as if his wrist had been tapped lightly by something. Then, he couldn't hold onto the short halberd in his hand, spinning and flying into the distance.
When the sky full of blade shadows retracted, Zong Shou, who was hidden at the back, looked over once more. His brows furrowed before he calmed down.
"Oh, you are not bad, at least you know your manners. I won't beat you up … "
The sword light flashed and knocked on the sides of his thighs, causing Zhu Junhou to fall to the ground, unable to move at all. Only then did that halberd spin and land, stabbing right beside his head. One could even clearly feel the cold intent of the blade.
Zhu Junhou's face flushed red. At this moment, he didn't feel any joy or happiness. Apart from embarrassment, he also felt shocked.
What kind of monster was this teen? Those 2 swords should be sword intent that he had never seen before. Even if it wasn't, it was close to that level. However, it was personally displayed by the son of his benefactor whom he didn't have high hopes for!
All of a sudden, he didn't know whether he should be angry or happy.
"Sword intent, it's actually sword intent!"
At the depths of the hall, Xuanyuan Tong's hand had already started to tremble. The shards of the wine cup in his hand turned into sand and slid down from his palm.
The first sword was the cloud shocking god destroying sword intent. Along with the illusionary ability of the sky fox race, even he couldn't see through it. Now it was the galaxy sword intent. After the sword was out, it was like the galaxy had appeared, extremely eye-catching.
At this moment, his feelings were several times more complicated than before!
Each sword that Zong Shou whipped Luo Xian was like a heavy slap on his face. Apart from feeling embarrassed, he also felt pained for his capable subordinate being beaten up so badly by Zong Shou. Vaguely, he felt a bit of regret. The last sentence that Zong Shou said when he whipped Luo Xian directly stabbed into his heart.
He knew that his words most probably hurt this kid's heart, which was why Zong Shou was so furious.
He couldn't help but laugh bitterly. The son of his old friend had such ability. He should have been happy. However, why couldn't he be happy now?
Li Sina was totally frozen on the spot, sitting on the ground in a daze as she looked on with her eyes wide open.
Speaking of which, in the first few days, Yiren had mentioned it to her. Speaking of her fiancé, he would definitely be outstanding enough to surprise her. She also mentioned that the one who wasn't good enough was Yiren herself. At that time, she couldn't believe it no matter what …
At this moment, Zong Shou's brain was still in a mess. However, he instinctively dealt with the halberd wielder beside him. The feeling that this Zhu Junhou gave him was that he was really dangerous! Compared to Luo Xian and Tan Tao, he was several times more dangerous.
Just now, he caught him off guard. If they really fought, he might not be able to win. Anyways, he would just take him down first.
When he turned around, he saw Tan Tao once again pouncing over like a tiger with the Mandarin Duck Blade in his hand. His expression was unprecedentedly solemn and serious. When the knife light rose up, it was really tight, not leaving any gaps. Like a storm, he went all out as he crazily slashed down.
Sōmorime's eyes squinted. Then, he smiled out of habit. He stepped forwards, not retreating but advancing instead. Like when he was practicing his sword in the whirlpool at the bottom of the black pond, he was really calm and swift. He easily passed through the sky full of blade shadows, dodging left and right. After tens of steps, he was about to be forced out by the mandarin duck knives. The sword in his hand that everyone had forgotten about shone once more. Without hesitation, he stabbed out with his sword!
Like a barracuda at the bottom of the ocean, like a sharp arrow, it swam through the knife light and headed right for Tan Tao's throat!
This sword was created by him in the water, which was why it was called Counter Current!
Stabbing out thousands of times underwater to smash the undercurrents, hence the name Counter Current. Although it wasn't as weird as the Styx River Death Sword, it wasn't as exquisite as the Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword.
However, this sword strike was definitely one of the strongest sword strikes in his entire life.
When the sword slashed out, there was no way to counter it! In the last life and now, there was no exception!
Tan Tao instantly felt a chill down his spine, the knife light danced but it was of no use. The sword light stabbed over at the gaps between his mandarin duck knives. It was like it was really familiar with his knife path. When it changed, it caused all his efforts to block to miss.
He could only explosively retreat! Crazily retreat. However, that sword light was like maggots in his bones, following closely and swiftly close to his throat!
Just as Tan Tao was in despair, Xuanyuan Tong couldn't help but stand up and was about to interfere to save him. That sword light suddenly turned back and lightly tapped on Tan Tao's wrists.
The two Mandarin Duck Knives also flew up. They rolled into mid-air and then fell back down, nailing onto the ground.
However, Tan Tao's aura became chaotic at that moment and he was fixed on the spot. The sword light in front of him slashed through the air once more.
"I hate such a scheming person like you, you deserve to be hit!"
He slashed Tan Tao's face with his sword, leaving a bloody scar. Zong Shou thought back to what happened before and scoffed, "Your mouth is really amazing, you talk too much!"
That sword light turned and turned back, another sword spine hitting the left side of this person's face.
Tan Tao had just managed to catch his breath when he was heavily struck once more. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling extremely indignant. He thought that he was smart and his martial path was strong. Within Xuan Mountain City, he held huge power and was only below 2-3 people. When other people saw him, they were all respectful. Even those with higher statuses and stronger martial arts would be courteous to him.
In his life, when had he suffered such humiliation?
What he was most worried about was whether or not he would be like Luo Xian, beaten up by this teen. If that happened, he wouldn't have any face to meet anyone.
Luckily, Zong Shou thought about it for a moment. Although this person was a little evil, his face was still okay. His words were flawless and he couldn't find anything to use against him. If he beat him up like that, he wouldn't be able to hold his ground.
In the past, when he rose up, he didn't like to talk reason when he did things. Only when he returned to the library and slowly cultivated his heart did he calm down.
So in this life, he had to use virtue to win people over.
Scoffing, Zong Shou unwillingly let him go. He directly tapped on this person's neck, temporarily restricting his chakra meridians. Then, he unceremoniously kicked him away.
The sword light flipped and heavily smacked on the head of Luo Xian who was trying his best to climb up.
"You still want to climb up, are you still not willing to admit defeat?"
Luo Xian's head was covered in blood. When his chin hit the ground, another 'crack' sound was heard. On the floor made of Tiegang stone, cracks appeared. His eyes were filled with shock, at this moment he didn't have any strength left. He wasn't angry at all, only a fear that stabbed into his heart and also a deep sense of helplessness.
Zong Shou's eyes finally looked towards Xuanyuan Tong. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
