Wuwu blinked her eyes. Not only did she not find him scary, she even found him a little cute. She almost burst out laughing.
"Senior Brother, where have you been these past few nights? Have any birds scratched you? Are you injured? I'll heal you. My healing technique is very good … "Wuwu raised her palm, and a faint red glow could be seen on her palm. It was gentle and powerful.
Yu Shangrong. "…"
Wuwu was a little disappointed when she saw that he was ignoring her. "Why aren't you injured?"
Yu Shangrong said.
"Those ferocious beasts are indeed terrifying, but it's not difficult to avoid them."
When he was young, he had traveled from the northernmost part of Great Yan through many forests and forests, and yet, he had survived unscathed.
He had been living in the forest and amidst the ice and snow for a long time. His perception of danger and wild beasts far surpassed that of ordinary people. Moreover, he was an Eight-leaf cultivator.
"You're amazing." Wuwu jumped back onto the stool and rested her chin on her hands.
Yu Shangrong stood up. He picked up his Longevity Sword and said, "Goodbye."
"I didn't follow you on purpose … In Senior Brother's words, this is all fate. Big brother … your life aura doesn't match your cultivation base. "Wuwu jumped down and chased him out of the tavern.
Yu Shangrong stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. "You can tell?"
The people of the Melilot Nation were all born with short lives.
Being able to live was a luxury. Even if they died, they wouldn't feel bitter or resentful.
At this moment, a silhouette appeared not far behind her and stood behind Wuwu.
"Junior Sister, it's time to go back."
"Senior Brother, you've come at the right time … This is the man I told you about. He's an expert swordsman. He's very powerful," Wuwu said.
The shadow that appeared was that of a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. In his hand was a broadsword with a very wide scabbard.
The middle-aged man sized Yu Shangrong up. It was clear that he was wary of him.
"I'm Ji Fengxing from the Thousand Willow Monastery … How should I address you?"
Yu Shangrong said calmly, "There's no need for us to get to know each other. Farewell."
"Wait."
Ji Fengxing circulated his Primal Qi. The sword in his hand buzzed in its scabbard. "I've always liked to make friends with swords. I'm sure your sword skills are quite good since you've caught Wuwu's attention. How about we exchange a few moves? "
If it had been anything else, Yu Shangrong would have ignored him. He would have turned around and left.
When it came to swordsmanship, this was one of his interests.
It was not easy to have a hobby in one's life. Just like Eldest Senior Brother, he loved to drink. With wine, it was easier for his worries to dissipate. With a sword, one would be able to walk the pugilistic world with much more vigor.
"Spar with the sword?" Yu Shangrong turned around and looked at the middle-aged man with interest.
"I'm untalented, so I'm given the nickname of the Thousand Willow Monastery's Sword Devil."
"Sword Demon?"
Perhaps, he had been using this title for too long. In Great Yan's cultivation world, no one dared to use it. Everyone knew what it meant. Now that he was in the Red Lotus Domain, it was only natural for him to feel a little awkward when he heard someone else call him the Sword Devil.
"Indeed," Ji Fengxing replied.
Yu Shangrong asked calmly, "How?"
"Use your Qi to control the sword. The winner will be decided by those below the Brahman Sea Realm," Ji Fengxing said.
Cultivators above the Divine Court realm would usually cause great damage. Hence, sparring was preferred among those below the Brahman Sea realm. The people of the red lotus domain probably liked it that way.
Yu Shangrong thought this was a good suggestion. He nodded with a smile. "Alright."
Ji Fengxing drew his sword. Primal Qi flowed through his Extraordinary Eight Meridians into his wrist and into his sword.
"The sword techniques of the Thousand Willow Monastery are mainly ferocious. When we condense our Qi into energy, we're known for our speed. The energy sword can be long or short. It's natural. "
Ji Fengxing's aura seemed to have changed. He was steady and imposing.
"Anyone who can force me to strike three times is a sword path elite … Sir …"
Swoosh!
There was a flash of red light. Bam!
Before Ji Fengxing could finish speaking, Yu Shangrong had already sheathed his sword.
His expression was still calm, as if nothing had happened.
Ji Fengxing raised his sword. The words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.
Crack!
The sword in Ji Fengxing's hand broke neatly and fell to the ground.
He had been bragging for a long time, but before he could even make a move, it was cut in half.
'This …'
Ji Fengxing was stunned.
However, Yu Shangrong did not think this was anything worth boasting about.
Since he had just entered the red lotus domain, perhaps, the true elites were his goal.
When Yu Shangrong swung his sword, he felt a sense of loneliness. Perhaps, there was no one who could compare to him in terms of the sword path. The Sword Devil of the red lotus domain … was so weak that it was boring.
"Thank you for letting me win."
Yu Shangrong turned around and walked toward the setting sun.
The light pulled his body back to its original height.
When Ji Fengxing regained his senses, he hastily chased after Yu Shangrong and said, "Hey, hey, hey … I wasn't even ready when you attacked. How can you do this? "
Yu Shangrong remained silent.
Ji Fengxing continued to say, "Although you've won, I'm not convinced … Did you hear me?"
Wuwu caught up to him and said, "Senior brother, you're not convinced again …"
"Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking. What do you mean by 'again'? " Ji Fengxing turned around. He followed Yu Shangrong and said, "I'm talking to you. We're kindred spirits, after all!"
Swoosh!
Yu Shangrong drew his sword again.
Ji Fengxing retreated. Yu Shangrong closed in on him. Sword shadows overlapped, dazzling everyone.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ji Fengxing had no choice but to retreat.
Yu Shangrong's three figures flickered, and the surroundings became blurry.
Return and Enter Three Souls.
In the next second, the Longevity Sword appeared near Ji Fengxing's neck. If it moved an inch closer, blood would flow.
The sparring session ended.
Everything fell silent.
Ji Fengxing gulped. He looked at Yu Shangrong incredulously.
The two of them remained in the same position for a moment.
Yu Shangrong withdrew his Longevity Sword and said indifferently, "If it were a life and death battle, you would've died ten times over."
Ji Fengxing was speechless.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "What sword technique is that?"
Yu Shangrong crossed his arms and said slowly, "Swords are divided into four levels. The first is the commoner's sword, the second is the marquis's sword, and the third is the king's sword … The highest level uses all things as a sword, and having no sword is better than having a sword."
Ji Fengxing was stunned.
Yu Shangrong continued to say, "Your sword technique is weak. I suggest you stop using the title of Sword Devil … If these words hurt your pride, I can only apologize. Farewell. "
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Senior!" Ji Fengxing's form of address changed immediately.
"Is there anything else?"
"Senior, since there are four levels of swords, may I know which level you're at?" Ji Fengxing asked.
"Me?"
Yu Shangrong shook his head and said regretfully, "I'm only at the second level."
"…"
An expression of disbelief appeared on Ji Fengxing's face as he said, "Even you're only at the second level. Who's at the highest level?"
"Naturally, it's my master." Yu Shangrong said.
"Senior's master?" Ji Fengxing was shocked. "In that case, he must be the most powerful swordsman in the world."
Yu Shangrong shook his head and said, "My master's forte isn't the sword path. He's skilled in palm seals."
"…"
Ji Fengxing said with a sigh, "Old mister, you're skilled in palm seals … That's great! I like palm seals."
"…"
Yu Shangrong felt that Ji Fengxing was the kind of person who would only show interest for a short period of time. He instantly lost interest in the sword path.
Indeed, it was difficult for him to show any interest. This was akin to a rocket maker talking to a rocket maker. They were not on the same wavelength.
"You haven't even learned your sword techniques. How can you call yourself the Sword Devil?"
At this moment, Wuwu smiled and said, "Big brother, that's just a title he uses to scare people. He likes sword techniques, but he can't find a teacher … It'd be great if you're willing to teach him, big brother! "
Yu Shangrong understood what she meant.
He asked, "Doesn't the Thousand Willow Monastery have a teacher who can teach you?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Fengxing sighed and said, "My talent is far from Wuwu's. She's from the same village as me, so she wants to help me."
"It's slightly risky to do this."
Yu Shangrong had thought Ji Fengxing was an elite who could conceal his aura. It seemed like Yu Shangrong had overestimated him.
As they spoke, the sun began to set.
A thought flashed in Yu Shangrong's mind. He asked, "Where's the Thousand Willow Monastery? “
"It's not far from here."
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. "Can I stay at the Thousand Willow Monastery for the night?"
Ji Fengxing was taken aback when he heard this. He said, "If it were anyone else, that wouldn't be possible. Naturally, you can. Leave it to me. "He had heard from Wuwu that this expert swordsman was homeless. If he could stay at the Thousand Willow Monastery, he would be able to learn sword techniques from Ji Fengxing.
"Thank you."
…
Two days later. Great Yan.
In the Nether Sect's branch mansion in Liang Province's eastern city.
Lu Zhou looked at the points on the dashboard and marveled inwardly.
It was time for him to raise his cultivation base.
