Black Mountain Fighting for Water
The Saber Cleaves Xiao Han
Guo Lie took the brunt of Xiao Mu's Thunder Palms and was seriously injured. He hadn't fully recovered yet, and after the fierce battle, his injuries were even worse.
The wind was strong and the waves were strong, so he didn't have a place to heal. However, he kept his word. Although he escaped, he didn't go far and still returned. Now that he was fine, he didn't have the mood to ask about Xiao Mu's condition. He asked Zhang Yan for a few medicinal pills and went to the quiet room to heal.
The next day, Lu Meiniang recovered her mana after a night of rest. She came out to thank him.
Zhang Yan exchanged a few polite words with her and calculated the time. It was already the middle of the tenth month, so it was time to go get the water. He didn't waste any more time and drove the Dragon Country's ship straight to Black Mountain Island.
On the way, Lu Meiniang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said softly, "I'm afraid my daughter Yan Rong is with Xiao Han. She's young and inexperienced. If she offends him later, I hope you can forgive her."
This girl was Elder Yan's youngest daughter. She was born in her mother's womb for more than three years. When she was born, she had a cultivation technique cave and was protected by elders. She hadn't experienced any hardships. Even after cultivating for more than a hundred years, she was only at Ming Qi level.
Earlier, it was this girl who told Xiao Han about the island's restrictions, which caught Lu Meiniang off guard and trapped her.
Zhang Yan couldn't be bothered to ask about such a person at all, and he just pointed at her. "Fellow Daoist Lu, this is your family's matter, so I naturally won't interfere. But if anyone rashly interferes in the matter between me and Xiao Han, then don't blame me for not showing mercy."
Hearing the murderous intent in Zhang Yan's words, Lu Meiniang's heart tightened. Although her cultivation was much higher than Zhang Yan's, she didn't know why she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear when standing next to him. She quickly said, "Thank you, Fellow Lu. When we get there, I will discipline her well."
Zhang Yan nodded and said no more.
Not long after the dragon boat traveled, a small island with a circumference of less than ten miles appeared in front of them. There were thousands of egrets flying and circling around the island. In the middle of the island, there was a black mountain that looked like a mound of earth. It pierced through the sky and was covered by fog.
Lu Meiniang gazed from afar for a while and suddenly said: "Daoist Zhang, if you want to take the Four Marquises Water, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until next month."
Zhang Yan looked at her and said, "Why do you say so?"
Lu Meiniang gently rolled up her sleeves and pointed to the sky, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please take a look. There is a cloud below the black mountain, and this is the sign of the sixty-year season's sweet rain. However, it is not fully ripe yet, so the color is white, and the color is multicolored. This is the time."
Zhang Yan looked up and saw that, just as Lu Meiniang had said, there was a motionless white cloud leaning against the mountainside.
Lu Meiniang had lived here for hundreds of years and was the owner of this place. She knew the surroundings like the back of her hand, so what she said was not a lie.
Zhang Yan looked at the island and his eyes were deep. He said, "As to who this water belongs to, I, Xiao Han, will have to fight it out. Demon King Lu, if you find it difficult, you can leave."
Although Lu Meiniang had a gentle temperament, she was also a great demon that had cultivated for hundreds of years. She could naturally see that Zhang Yan had the intention to recruit her, so he was letting her choose whether to stay or leave.
Yan Zhengting once said in the letter that Zhang Yan had a bright future. She weighed the pros and cons and thought to herself: I have cultivated for almost five hundred years. If I can't step into the Yuanying realm, I will only have a hundred years left. This Daoist Zhang's Heavenly Lake of Zhao You is a cave. If I can cultivate there, Just now, there is hope for me to peek into Dao.
Thus, she only hesitated for a moment and made a decision. She said: "I am willing to go with you."
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded, "Come with me, my friend."
He turned into a conveyance light and flew toward the island. Lu Meiniang also followed.
When he got closer, Zhang Yan's eyes swept across the entire island. He saw two people standing on top of a mountain rock. One of them was a handsome man with a tall hat and a wide belt, but he exuded an air of arrogance.
Beside him stood a woman in white. Her appearance and figure were excellent, and her facial features vaguely resembled Lu Meiniang. She must be Yan Rong.
Seeing two conveyance lights flying over, Xiao Han turned his head. Although he had never seen Zhang Yan before, he had seen his portrait before he left home. Now that he saw it, he was shocked.
He turned his gaze again and saw that the other person was Lu Meiniang. His expression changed slightly. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but panic and scolded, "What is Fourth Uncle doing? He can't even handle such a small matter properly. How did he let these two people get together?"
However, no matter how hard he thought, he would never have thought that Xiao Mu had already been eliminated by Zhang Yan. He thought that Xiao Mu had missed these two people when he was chasing the enemy.
Lu Meiniang's conveyance light landed. She put on a straight face and said to the girl coldly, "Rong 'er, why are you not coming?"
Yan Rong's pretty face was slightly panicked. She looked at Xiao Han and said timidly, "Mother, why, why are you here? Aren't you …"
Lu Meiniang sighed and said: "I was helped by Fellow Zhang to escape. I owe him a favor, and I must repay him. If you come here now, you are still my daughter."
Hearing this, Xiao Han frowned and thought that things were not good.
Yan Rong's face turned pale. She hesitated for a while and finally shook her head, as if she had made up her mind. She moved to Xiao Han's side and leaned on him. She said: "Mother, I love Xiao Lang and have already married him. Since I am the wife of the Xiao family, I am also a member of the Xiao family. Please forgive me for being unfilial."
Lu Meiniang was so angry that her face turned green. Her chest heaved up and down. She raised her slender finger and pointed at her, saying: "You, you, if you don't come here, I, I won't recognize …"
She originally said that she wouldn't recognize Yan Rong as her daughter, but she was still her own flesh and blood after all.
Yan Rong, on the other hand, was ruthless. She turned her head and said in a low voice: "Mother, just pretend that you don't have a daughter like me."
At first, Xiao Han wanted to use Yan Rong to prevent Lu Meiniang from interfering. But after hearing what Yan Rong said, he couldn't help but shake his head and scold himself for being stupid.
Hearing this, Lu Meiniang felt as if she was struck by lightning. She pressed her hand on her chest and took two steps back. She was completely disheartened. She sighed and said: "Forget it. What's the use of keeping such a vile child who doesn't recognize her parents?"
She raised her hand and slapped. A white gas flew out and hit Yan Rong's forehead. With a crack, Yan Rong fell to the ground. She was dead.
Xiao Han frowned slightly and took a step to the side. He tidied up his sleeves as if he was afraid that the blood would stain his robe.
He looked up at Zhang Yan and said coldly: "You are Zhang Yan? You must be here for the Four Marquises Water. But even if you invited the demon cultivators from overseas to help, I'm not afraid. "
Zhang Yan glanced at Xiao Han and saw that he was putting on a strong front. He smiled mockingly and turned to Lu Meiniang: "Demon King Lu, I'll have to trouble you to protect me outside the island."
Lu Meiniang killed her daughter with her own hands, so her mind was a little unsettled. Hearing this, she nodded and said: "Be careful, Fellow Daoist. I'll be waiting five miles away."
Seeing her leave, Xiao Han heaved a sigh of relief. He did not dare to ignore the pressure of a third tier Core Transformation cultivator. Now that it was not in front of him, even though it was not far away, it gave him courage.
He pointed at Zhang Yan and shouted coldly: "Zhang Yan, the heaven and earth's strange things belong to those who are virtuous. Back then, there was internal strife between you and your disciples. Thanks to the seniors of my family supporting the situation, we were able to turn the tide and not collapse. It can be seen that my family is the mainstay of Qincang School. The Four Marquises Water should be taken by me. It's not something you can covet. Even if you borrow someone else's hand to take it, it will still be overturned under the general situation! To tell you the truth, I have a Yuanying senior to protect me. If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing mercy when the time comes. "
Although he said that he was disdainful of Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan used only one sword to sweep through the six rivers and four islands. Zhang Yan's ferocious reputation was known, so deep in his heart, he was extremely afraid of him. He also cherished his life very much, so he really did not dare to make a move. Therefore, he planned to intimidate the other party with words, hoping to scare the other party away.
Zhang Yan laughed coldly. He looked straight at Xiao Han and said: "I don't care what your name is, and I don't care where you come from. I only know that today, you and I are both here for the Four Marquises Water. If you have the guts, then come and fight me to determine the winner and the loser!"
Both of his eyes were oppressive. After reaching the second tier of the Spirit Comprehension Contract, his body was covered in Weili. Every word he spat out was like a clap of thunder. When he finished speaking, his voice shook the sea, causing rumbling echoes in all directions. Thousands of egrets flew up from behind him, as if they had gathered into a boundless tide. The momentum was extremely shocking.
Xiao Han's face turned pale, and he unconsciously took a step back.
Zhang Yan stared at him, took a step forward, and yelled in a low voice: "Xiao Han, I ask you, do you dare to fight me!?"
His clothes fluttered as he stepped forward. His battle intent surged, and adding on the fact that the ocean behind him seemed to be boiling, there was a natural pressure coming towards Xiao Han.
Xiao Han was forced back by his aura, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He wanted to fight, but his chest seemed to be blocked by something. His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say a single word.
For a direct disciple of a big family like him, his path was smooth from the moment he was born. His seniors would take care of everything for him, and he didn't need to worry about anything else. That was why he was able to improve and reach the third level of the Mystic Light Realm before the age of twenty-five, which was why he was sent out to train.
Even so, he had cultivators with high cultivation protecting him, and his experience in fighting others was limited to a few of his own race. If he could return to his race and successfully form his golden core, he wouldn't be afraid of fighting with Zhang Yan. However, he wasn't ready yet.
Zhang Yan was different. He relied on himself to kill his way to where he was today. Compared to him, Xiao Han, who hadn't gone through any training, was weaker in both mind and will.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but frown and yell: "My Wen Family chose a few people to fight with me, and I thought they were all elites. But now that we meet again, how come you don't even have the courage to draw your sword? How are you worthy of being my opponent? "
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Han was incomparably humiliated. He couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Zhang Yan, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
He shook his sleeve and took out a seal.
This treasure floated in the air with the seal facing downwards. The Talisman characters flowed on it, and just as it was about to let out a light, a clear light flew out from between Zhang Yan's eyebrows and froze it in the air.
Seeing this, Xiao Han couldn't help but be shocked and angry. He took a few steps back and put his hand behind his back. He took out a thin needle and thought: "Zhang Yan, do you think I can't deal with you?"
With a flick of his finger, the needle flew out silently. It circled in the air and headed towards the back of Zhang Yan's head.
This needle was called "Yin Crossing Dragon Beard Needle". The front part was as hard as metal, and the back part was as soft as cotton. When it flew, it was extremely fast. Once it entered the body, it would wander around and mess up the internal organs and acupoints. At that time, the opponent would be at his mercy.
The sword orb between Zhang Yan's eyebrows seemed to have sensed danger and jumped forward on its own. A sword ray slashed down and hit the needle. However, the needle curved and bounced back, but it wasn't stopped. It still slipped under the sword and headed straight for Zhang Yan.
Xiao Han couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't look at the result and formed a spell. A magic sword appeared in the air and he commanded it to slash down on Zhang Yan's head.
At the same time, he shouted and a seven-colored cloud appeared on his head. In the bright light, a Scorching Yang Fire was released. The fiery light was also burning towards Zhang Yan's body.
Zhang Yan slightly squinted his eyes, his face showed a mocking expression. He tilted his head to one side, a 'zheng' sound was heard as the Dragon Beard Needle bounced off his head. He raised his hand again and in a split second he caught the flying sword that was flying towards him. His five fingers slightly closed and the sword was broken, and he casually threw it at his feet.
Seeing the mysterious light and the Scorching Yang Fire coming over, he stretched out his hands and a beast-faced broadsword appeared in his hands. With a loud shout, he swung the broadsword downwards. The broadsword light was torn apart like silk. Then, he stepped on the clouds and took large strides.
"Force, force?"
Xiao Han's expression changed. He didn't expect that the move that he had painstakingly planned would be broken in an instant. Seeing Zhang Yan coming with the broadsword like a tiger pouncing on its prey, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a frightened expression. For a moment, he froze on the spot.
When Zhang Yan got close, his eyes flashed. He raised the broadsword and waved it. This broadsword was incomparably fast. Xiao Han subconsciously tilted his body, but the broadsword landed squarely on his shoulder. He staggered and fell to the ground. At this time, he came to his senses and knew that the situation wasn't good. He resisted the pain from his shoulder and rolled up his sleeves. He turned into a beam of light and escaped.
Just now, Zhang Yan only felt that the broadsword was slightly sluggish. He thought that the opponent had the protection of the treasured clothing. He snorted coldly and urged his mind. Three hundred and sixty-five drops of Serene Yin Heavy Water flew out from the top of his head. He pointed again and chased after Xiao Han.
Xiao Han didn't fly more than a hundred feet before he was blocked by a layer of smoke. He knew that it was Lu Meiniang's trick. His heart was filled with hatred. But before he could find another way out, the Serene Yin Heavy Water that was chasing after him had already arrived. He suddenly felt as if his back was hit by a hammer. His vision went black and he fell from the sky with a cry. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a moment.
He saw Zhang Yan striding over with a bone-chilling broadsword. He couldn't help but be scared out of his wits. He threatened, "Zhang Yan, I am a member of the Xiao Clan. If you kill me, aren't you afraid of the Xiao Clan's revenge?"
Zhang Yan sneered. He raised the broadsword in his hand and swung it down. Wherever the broadsword passed, a head rolled down.
