"Take my sword, and I'll spare your life." The man in black said.
Tang Sanghua gave Yan Li a look of wishing him luck, and walked out of the cave with a smile. "I'll wait for you outside. If you die, I'll seal the cave and make it your grave."
Yan Li said lightly, "Xiao Sibai, this is only the first day. You're too impatient."
The man was the second in the academy, Xiao Sibai.
He was the first successor of the Changping Xiao Clan, and had the title of the first genius swordsman in the northwest.
At the age of fourteen, he had mastered his family's unique skill, "Divine Waterfall Flow Sword Technique". At fifteen, he had killed a lone bandit with a cultivation of second rank martial arts.
He was not stagnant, not immersed in the world, not moved by external appearances, and not disturbed by the mundane world.
His eyes, his movements, his tone of voice, and his stance were like a sharp unsheathed sword, radiating light.
He might not be the most terrifying person Yan Li had ever seen, but he was the purest swordsman.
At first glance, he knew that in a normal fight, he would die without a doubt.
Xiao Sibai did not speak, but made a gesture of drawing his sword.
With a movement of his right hand, a dark green sheathed long sword suddenly appeared in his left hand.
He held the sword hilt, and slowly said, "I know you're a swordsman. No matter how you hide, you can't escape my eyes. Take my sword, and I'll spare your life. "
Yan Li said, "It's not impossible, but this cave is narrow, how can I use it? Why not fight outside the cave? "
"Okay." Xiao Sibai nodded slightly, turned around, and walked out of the cave.
"Wait." Yan Li suddenly called out.
Xiao Sibai stopped, and turned back to look at him.
"You can't leave the cave first. What if you sneak attack me outside?" Yan Li said, "If word gets out that Xiao Sibai defeated Yan Li in one move, wouldn't I lose face?"
"You first." Xiao Sibai moved aside.
Yan Li sneered inwardly. His footsteps quickened, and the moment he left the cave, he ran as if he was escaping.
"Yan Li, you're so shameless!" Tang Sanghua laughed and chased after him.
Xiao Sibai walked out of the cave and chased after him expressionlessly.
Mount Kunyuan was full of dangerous peaks and dense crevices. Yan Li chose steep terrain and hidden mountain paths to run on. Soon, he left Meng Qi behind.
"You useless man, you don't even dare to take a single strike from Xiao Sibai." Tang Sanghua mocked, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have cooperated with you. It's better to find him. He's safe, reliable, and powerful."
Yan Li retorted sarcastically, "I don't want a woman like you."
"What do you mean by a woman like me?" Tang Sanghua put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows. She looked quite charming when she was angry.
Yan Li smiled and said, "I guess it's enough for you to provoke the Xiao Pavilion's Chief Steward. You definitely wouldn't dare to provoke their Young Master."
Tang Sanghua's beautiful eyes turned slightly as she said, "At least you're sensible. I lit a fire as bait, but I didn't expect it to benefit Xiao Sibai. Did you notice that he killed at least ten people before he came to the cave? "
Yan Li added, "And all with one strike."
Tang Sanghua rolled her eyes at him. "Since you can see through to this extent, I don't believe that you can't take a single strike. Why are you afraid of him?"
Yan Li said lightly, "We just have different paths."
"What are you pretending to be mysterious for!" Tang Sanghua mocked, "You're just worried that someone will take advantage of you after you get injured."
Yan Li said unhappily, "Why are you still asking when you already know?"
"Spare, spare my life …"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the forest below.
The two of them hid beside a low peak in front of the mountain path. They looked over and saw a candidate kneeling in front of a noble young master, trembling and begging for mercy.
The noble young master was wearing a gilded half-arm with exquisite lines and textures. It was definitely not made by an ordinary workshop. He was wearing a moon-white robe and a cross-shaped crown. His face was handsome and elegant, and he wore a slight smile. His feet were wearing dragon-scale boots, and he was gently fanning himself with a jade fan in his hand.
"Brother, don't be afraid. I have no intention of hurting you. I just want to borrow your token for a while."
The candidate hurriedly took out his token.
The noble young master took the token and smiled warmly. "Thank you for your help, brother. Together with your token, it's just enough. "
"Can, can I go now?" The candidate did not dare to relax at all.
"Go ahead." The noble young master said with a smile.
The candidate took a few steps back. Seeing that the noble young master had no intention of making a move, he quickly turned around and ran for his life.
"It's him?" Tang Sanghua recognized the person at a glance. "I didn't expect the first and second masters of the academy to appear on the first day."
That person was Lian Hai Changjin.
As she was speaking, she suddenly felt a slight murderous intent from Yan Li.
"You want to kill him?" She was surprised. "When did he offend you?"
Yan Li said, "Cover me. I want to test his strength."
"You're crazy!" Tang Sanghua said in disbelief. "Even Xiao Sibai is inferior to him. You actually want to challenge him?"
Although she said so, her beautiful eyes were filled with irrepressible excitement.
She walked down the mountain path and came to the side of Lian Hai Changjin. She randomly picked up a few stones and threw them as hidden weapons.
Yan Li sprang out of the low peak and rushed into the forest. He used the second style of Green Lotus and turned into a shadow.
At this moment, Lian Hai Changjin happened to turn around. She waved her sleeve and swept the stones to the ground.
Clang!
The Leaving Cliff Sword was unsheathed and cut through the green and yellow grass. Among the flying grass, his murderous intent soared.
Lian Hai Changjin glanced at him and raised his jade fan as if he had foreseen it.
Ding!
The tip of the sword collided with the fan, making a slight sound of metal striking stone.
Lian Hai Changjin already knew who it was. He smiled. "Brother Yan, do you want to spar with me?"
Yan Li paused for only a moment. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a shadow again. He passed by Lian Hai Changjin and made a triangle behind him, attacking his right side.
As he neared, he spun in the air like a tornado. The Leaving Cliff Sword passed under Lian Hai Changjin's armpit at a tricky angle and went straight for his throat.
The sword trembled slightly and let out a clear sound.
However, the Leaving Cliff Sword stopped.
Because Lian Hai Changjin did not fight back. Instead, he smiled and raised his hands. "Qi flows through the body and the meridians open. Congratulations, Brother Yan. This is a sign that you're about to enter Rank-4. "
Tang Sanghua heard this from afar and was secretly shocked. Yan Li was only Rank-6 when he first came to Yongling. It had only been half a month and he was almost at Rank-4? What kind of cultivation speed was this?
Although martial artists were only at the stage of polishing their Vitality and could not be considered cultivation, it was understandable that a normal Rank-6 would advance to Rank-5 at least a year or two. If one's real name was stronger, it would take at least half a year. It was rare to see someone like Yan Li.
Could it be that he was actually hiding his strength?
"Why don't you fight back?" Yan Li said coldly. "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
If it was necessary, he would not stop with this sword.
Lian Hai Changjin smiled. "It's not that I don't dare, but that I won't."
"Why do you say so?" Yan Li said.
"Brother Yan has killing intent, but not killing intent."
Lian Hai Changjin waved his jade fan in a leisurely manner. "Moreover, this one sincerely wants to be friends with Brother Yan. This one can die in peace at the hands of a good friend. "
Yan Li frowned slightly and took two steps back. He sheathed his sword and said, "How much do you know?"
Lian Hai Changjin smiled. "If Brother Yan is referring to the matter of Qing Ya Market, this one knows a thing or two."
"My identity?" Yan Li's killing intent was revealed.
Lian Hai Changjin smiled and nodded. He said, "However, this one has not revealed it to anyone."
"What do you want from me?" Yan Li said coldly.
"Those who know me know my worries. Those who don't know me know what I want." Lian Hai Changjin shook his head and smiled. "This one has been longing for the forest since I was young, so I am fascinated by Brother Yan's deeds. That is all."
Yan Li narrowed his eyes. He was about to speak when he suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Lian Hai Changjin had been gentle and refined just a moment ago. But in the next moment, she had closed in on him. Her jade fan shone with a faint light. The protruding part of the fan became sharp. It had turned into a killing weapon.
The jade fan attacked at a speed that Yan Li could not react to. But it passed by Yan Li's ear.
Ding!
Two crisp sounds. The two flying daggers that were attacking Yan Li were swept away by the jade fan and fell to the ground.
At this time, ten people rushed out of the forest. They pressed against the wild grass and rushed over. They all had savage smiles on their faces. "The top ten experts of the academy, we will be taking your heads!"
Yan Li slowly gripped the Leaving Cliff Sword. "I wanted to kill, and you came to me!"
"Brother Yan, please wait."
Lian Hai Changjin shouted. She raised her jade fan and lightly swept it. An invisible aura overflowed from the jade fan and filled the wild grass.
The examinees suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. The killing intent in their hearts suddenly disappeared. They became lazy and could not muster up any energy.
What was even stranger was that as they charged, the weapons in their hands suddenly flew back several zhang. They landed with a 'xiu xiu' sound, stabbing into the ground.
The ten people stopped in their tracks. They were all dumbfounded.
Lianhai Changjin smiled and said, "Flowers often compete for beauty, but the winner will not take the loser's life. It is normal for everyone to fight for the tokens, but please remember that we are fellow students, and do not kill each other."
"What a good 'plucking the fallen flowers to bury'." Tang Sanghua smiled as she walked out from her hiding place.
Seeing that there were still experts, the group lost their will to fight. "Let's go!"
Tang Sanghua walked over. Her eyes seemed to have an indescribable meaning. "When 'cherishing flowers' reaches its peak, it is the time to break through to the first grade. To think that such a 'remote and desolate place' could produce a genius like you. No wonder it is one of the world's top secret arts. "
Lian Hai Changjin was not surprised. He humbly cupped his fists. "I have not mastered it. I have embarrassed myself in front of Miss Tang."
Just like the Changping Xiao Clan had a secret art, the Lianhai Villa, known as the world's number one villa, naturally had a legacy.
The Lianhai Villa's secret art was' plucking the fallen flowers to bury '. The introductory chapter was called' cherishing flowers'. Like the Sword Heart Manifestation, it had a high requirement for talent. Ordinary people could not comprehend it.
The talent here was not only about one's real name, but also one's comprehension and awareness.
The Connected Sea Manor's Manor Lord relied on this secret art to occupy the first place on the Asura List. It was evident from this.
"I don't care if you cherish flowers or protect flowers …"
Yan Li's eyes were cold. He suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed.
Lian Hai Changjin hurriedly raised her fan to block. She smiled bitterly. "Brother Yan, what are you doing?"
"In this dog-eat-dog place, you're the only one who cares about friendship." Tang Sanghua giggled. Her scimitar pierced out noiselessly.
Lian Hai Changjin's eyes and hands were sharp. She caught the blade between her fingers. "Miss Tang, even if you say so, how can a man transcend the mortal world if he is dominated by material desires?"
Tang Sanghua suddenly dropped her scimitar and dashed forward. She was almost touching the bridge of her nose when she opened her mouth and blew out a cloud of bewildering smoke.
