Li Yixiu changed the topic and said slowly, "Of course, you are seriously injured. As a third-rank Lord Protector, I don't want to bully a cripple, so I won't use my Primordial Qi. You can do whatever you want!"
The title of Lord Protector was a very rare honor. His descendants could all receive protection. This title couldn't be measured by money or power. It was the glory of the empire, and only those who had made outstanding contributions could get it. Li Yixiu was only twenty-five years old this year, and he was already a Lord Protector. One could imagine his contributions.
"Is that so?"
Yan Li's left arm suddenly shook, and his sleeve revealed a clue of Xuan Jun. With a tap of his toes, he was already within two steps of Li Yixiu.
Clang!
The sound of the sword was exceptionally heavy, and the sword light went from bottom to top, looking like it was going to cut Li Yixiu's head open.
"What a good Hidden Sword Technique." Li Yixiu's eyes flashed, and as he reached out, a sword appeared. With a clang, it blocked Yan Li's Hidden Sword Technique. But as soon as they collided, he thought that Yan Li had used Primordial Qi. An unusual vibration came from the place where the swords collided, and the web between his thumb and forefinger actually hurt.
He leaped back a few steps, and carefully examined the sword in Yan Li's hand. It was simple and unadorned, as if it was dyed in ink, and had a sharp edge. It was very unusual. "This sword is not light. It's a rarely seen black blade, and even I can't tell what material it's made of. It also looks quite old. Where did you get it? "
"Use your sword to talk."
Yan Li hurried two steps forward, and his line of sight, arm, and sword were connected in a straight line, aiming at Li Yixiu's head.
"You really hold a grudge." Li Yixiu smiled, and also handed over his sword. With a shake of his wrist, the sword swayed left and right like a spirit snake, and its position couldn't be determined. Then, it magically bypassed the tip of Xuan Jun's sword, and knocked upwards under the sword.
Li Yixiu's movements were so fast that Yan Li couldn't react at all. He felt as if he had lost control of the sword in his hand and it tilted upwards involuntarily.
Not only that, after the collision, Li Yixiu's sword seemed to have a sticky force, and actually stuck to Xuan Jun. At the same time, he took a step forward, and the tip of Xuan Jun's sword slid past his left shoulder. The sword in his hand, on the other hand, followed the blade of Xuan Jun's sword and slashed towards Yan Li's body at lightning speed.
Dang!
At the critical moment, Yan Li hurriedly raised his left arm horizontally. The tip of the sword slashed on it, making a sound of metal and stone colliding. His sleeve was instantly torn, revealing Xuan Jun's scabbard.
He couldn't help but take two steps back, and his eyes gradually became cold and deep. His opponent's swordsmanship was superb and out of his expectations. He was not an opponent that could be underestimated.
"Although I can't tell what you're thinking, your eyes tell me that you're finally getting serious." Li Yixiu smiled and said, "There's nothing more exciting than an evenly matched battle. Maybe you can give me a surprise."
"Maybe it's a shock." Yan Li sneered. "I've attacked twice, and I already know your depth. Why don't you try attacking me twice as well?"
"Then watch carefully." Li Yixiu lowered his body and rushed over. Suddenly, he leaped like a tiger and spun half his body in midair. He placed the hilt of his sword against the left side of his chest, and with the force of his entire body diving down, he fiercely pushed the sword toward Yan Li.
"The White Tiger Sword Technique passed down in my family. Please enlighten me!"
At this moment, his entire body was like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain. The sword seemed to have become a tiger's claw, and when it pierced through the void, it set off a piercingly cold claw wind.
Yan Li only felt his scalp go numb. How would he dare to block it head-on? He hurriedly leaped backward to dodge.
Bam!
Without the help of vitality, just the strength of his body alone was enough to blast a hole in the ground where Yan Li was originally standing. He wondered what kind of power it would have if he used vitality.
"Are you a monster?!" Yan Li was dumbfounded, and he could not help but take a few steps back.
Li Yixiu frowned unhappily. "You're too rude." With a swing of his sword, it was as if there was a tiger's roar coming from the sword, and it chased after Yan Li.
Yan Li felt as if he had seen a white-fronted tiger pouncing toward him. If he was timid, he would probably be so scared that he would directly kneel on the ground.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he suddenly sheathed the Xuan Jun Sword. Instead of retreating, he charged forward.
"Good timing!" Li Yixiu's eyes were filled with excitement. His body turned halfway in the air, and the hilt of the sword was once again placed against the left side of his chest. He used all the strength in his body to suddenly push the sword out. The momentum was so great that it was like a tiger king descending the mountain. An invisible force pushed the airwaves, forming a piercingly cold strong wind. This was under the condition that he did not use vitality. It was simply unimaginable that he would really use all his strength.
Yan Li used all his strength in the midst of charging forward, and his entire body also flew off the ground. The two of them collided in midair, and there was no way out.
Qiang Qiang!
A strong sword aura was spat out from the heavy sword hum. However, the trajectory of the sword aura, actually deviated from the path of Li Yixiu's sword. This sword was filled with the power to perish together, and slashed towards Li Yixiu's abdomen. If it hit, he would definitely be heavily injured, or even die.
Li Yixiu's expression changed. At this crucial moment, a person's reaction showed courage and boldness. He did not retreat at all, and continued to stab towards Yan Li's chest.
Yan Li was already prepared. His left hand suddenly stretched out, and the Xuan Jun Sword sheath welcomed Li Yixiu's sword. Under his dumbfounded gaze, the sword returned into the Xuan Jun Sword sheath with a "shua".
Li Yixiu only felt that all his strength had been inexplicably extracted. This heavy and powerful strike actually did not have any effect at all. He had no choice but to clench his teeth and revolved his vitality. With a large amount of vitality, he blocked Yan Li's slash.
Yan Li bared his teeth and smiled at him. The sword sheath in his left hand suddenly let out a dull sound.
Before Li Yixiu could react, his entire body was sent flying by the huge rebounding force from the sword. After landing, he rolled a few times before stopping.
Yan Li did not stop when he landed. His figure flashed a few times, and he arrived above Li Yixiu.
"Wait a minute, I admit defeat!" Li Yixiu had not recovered from the impact. He could only roll to the side with his face covered in dirt, avoiding Yan Li's pursuit. The reason for this was because when his sword entered Yan Li's sword sheath, all the force was absorbed by the Hidden Sword Tactics, and then spat out again to send him flying. In other words, he was struck by his own strength.
Yan Li did not pursue. The Xuan Jun Sword returned to its sheath, and shrank back into his sleeve. Somehow, it slipped and disappeared.
Li Yixiu was once again dumbfounded. He shook his head, and sat on the ground like a broken pot. He crossed his arms and said in a huff: "Brother Yan, you're shameless! You clearly said you wouldn't use your vitality! "
Yan Li rolled his eyes. He ignored him and sat back by the fire.
Li Yixiu was a little ashamed. He shifted his butt and also sat by the fire. He said, "I did say such a rule. I thought that Brother Yan was a gentleman. If I didn't use my yuan qi, Brother Yan definitely wouldn't use it …"
Shen Liuyun said with a smile that was not a smile: "Just now, you were fearless and wanted to fight with him until both sides were injured. Wasn't it because you were confident in your vitality to protect your body and not afraid of his slash? After losing, you still say such things. Are you still a man?"
"Alright …" Li Yixiu said dejectedly: "I admit, without using my vitality, I am not Brother Yan's opponent."
"What are you doing here?" Yan Li could already see that Li Yixiu had no ill intentions. However, he was still very unhappy that he was forced to fight.
Li Yixiu said seriously: "Actually, I received a secret order to bring you to see His Majesty. It was also because His Majesty told me that Brother Yan would appear in the Bing Province that I was able to successfully follow you. "
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Shen Liuyun glared at him. "Also, what's going on with that idiot Wang Yuanlang?"
Li Yixiu said awkwardly: "He simply believed in my abilities, so he followed me closely."
"Ji Tiansheng wants to see me?" Yan Li raised his eyebrows. "Didn't he convict me of treason? Why does he want to see me?"
"I am not clear about the specifics." Li Yixiu said: "Perhaps, he also felt that Brother Yan would not do such a thing and thought that there must be a misunderstanding. So he wants to see you in secret and figure out the truth. If Brother Yan is innocent, then the nature of the matter has become very bad. It is very likely that Supervisor Qu has been bribed by the enemy. "
Shen Liuyun said indifferently: "No, it's even worse. He has been controlled by his heart demon."
Li Yixiu said in surprise: "Supervisor Qu? How could that be? I have received many pointers from him. "
"It is difficult to see the heart of some people from the surface. His desires are too heterogeneous." Shen Liuyun did not want to talk about it in depth, so he changed the topic: "So the rumor that Zhiyuan fell ill in Yongling was fake news to facilitate a private meeting?"
"Yes." Li Yixiu nodded: "Brother Yan must have returned to Yongling to clear up the misunderstanding, but if you go back like this, not only will you not be able to see Her Majesty, but you will also lose your life in Yongling. Her Majesty has already left Yongling and is waiting for me in the Hundred Orchard to report. "
As he spoke, he stood up and cupped his fists. "Brother Yan, Instructor Shen, I will go to the Hundred Orchard first. You two hurry up and don't let Her Majesty wait for too long. Farewell."
With that said, he turned around and left.
Yan Li looked at his back, full of doubts.
"You don't believe him?" Shen Liuyun asked.
Yan Li shook his head: "I cannot understand Ji Tiansheng's attitude. If she compromised so easily, things would not have developed to this situation."
Shen Liuyun said: "Won't you know if you go and take a look? Your purpose is to see her anyway."
"That's true."
After taking the medicine, the two set off again.
Yan Li did not recognize the Hundred Orchard, but Shen Liuyun did. It was a beautiful place with beautiful scenery. Not only was the climate cool and comfortable, but there were also dozens of different kinds of fruits. It was a good place to avoid the summer heat, and it had always been enjoyed by the royal family.
Because of his identity, Shen Liuyun had been there with Shen Liuxian many times.
"You can't take a car here." In front of a mountain road that seemed to lead to the sky, Yan Li heard it and stopped the car.
The two got out of the car and were about to climb the mountain when suddenly a shout came from above: "Evil creature, return Feng 'er's hand!"
Before the shout died away, a figure swooped down at an extremely fast speed.
Shen Liuyun's face suddenly became extremely pale, and his figure flashed, blocking in front of Yan Li: "Senior Brother, stop!"
The person who came was Zhang Dashan.
"Junior Sister, get out of the way, let me kill this perverted thief!"
"Senior Brother, it's not what you think …"
Before Shen Liuyun could finish speaking, she saw Zhang Dashan's anger boiling. Knowing that it would take a month and a half to explain, she hurriedly transmitted her voice to Yan Li: "Little Fan, I'll block Senior Brother. Follow the stairs to the top and you will see the Hundred Orchard. As long as Zhikite appears, we will have time to explain.
Hurry! "Yan Li knew that this was the best choice at the moment, and without hesitation, he took a detour to avoid Zhang Dashan's frontal attack. Using both his hands and feet, he climbed to the top of the mountain.
"Trying to run!" Zhang Dashan's face was full of anger, his sleeves fluttered, and a huge amount of Qi surged out from his body.
"Senior Brother, stop and listen to me first!" Shen Liuyun opened her arms, blocking Zhang Dashan. "Do I look like I'm bewitched to you?"
Although Zhang Dashan was in a rage, Shen Liuyun was his junior sister, after all, so he restrained himself and said: "How can you prove it?"
"Master, don't listen to Youngest Uncle's words, she's too deeply bewitched!"
At this moment, Qu Youfeng rushed out from the nearby woods and said anxiously: "Can't you see that I've lost an arm? Do you think your disciple would lie to you? Also, Yan Li's goal must be to cast a spell on His Majesty. If His Majesty is also controlled by him, the consequences will be unimaginable. Hurry and protect His Majesty, I'll block Youngest Uncle! "
Saying this, without waiting for Zhang Dashan's reply, he pounced on Shen Liuyun.
Zhang Dashan hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Yan Li's figure was almost out of sight, he said: "Don't hurt your Youngest Uncle, I'll be back soon!" After saying this, he stamped his feet, and like a stone bullet, his body shot toward the top of the mountain.
Yan Li could already see the orchard and the courtyard behind it, but the strong wind behind him was comparable to the King of Hell, and this was only the wind caused by Zhang Dashan's rush. If he really made a move, a mere third-grade martial artist would be no different from an ant.
"I've reached the top … I'm close …" There were still 50 steps left, and Yan Li's heart was thumping, as if these 50 steps were the final limit of his life. He even saw a few heavily armed guards, and he also saw the person in the courtyard hearing the commotion and opening the door to check, and that person turned out to be Ye Qing.
At this moment, Yan Li seemed to understand something.
But it was too late, a sword had appeared in Zhang Dashan's hand, and a force like a landslide and a tsunami was emitted from his sword, pressing down on Yan Li in an overwhelming manner.
Yan Li's protective Yuan Qi instantly collapsed, and then was drowned by the force. The next moment, there was a violent explosion where he stood, followed by a rising cloud of dust, blocking the scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere.
At least in Zhang Dashan's imagination, Yan Li should have been crushed into a bloody pulp at this moment.
But he was suddenly startled. With his eyesight, he could see clearly without the smoke and dust completely dispersing. The scene he imagined did not appear. Yan Li stood in the center of the deep pit, unscathed.
"I've struggled in the darkness for thousands of years, but I've suffered unforgettable pain. The strong smell of blood attracts me, and now, who will crown me?"
"The boundless darkness buries the loneliness of the eternal night; the bone-piercing coldness, like sweet and intoxicating blood flowing through my body, has not stopped for thousands of years; I've prayed again and again, for light and warmth, but the gods high above have turned a blind eye to me."
A low and melodious voice echoed on the top of the mountain.
Yan Li slowly turned his head. His eyes were filled with evil and coldness. His face was filled with malevolence, "You ant, how dare you touch me with your filthy sword. I will make sure that you will never be able to reincarnate!"
"Never reincarnate!!!"
