Li Jianqiu stood still under the huge rock. Only the fire of the flame sword was swaying in the mountain wind.
Jiang Wang walked to his side and saw the words carved on the rock.
"In the twelfth year of Yongtai, I fought hundreds of battles and was invincible. I leave these words for the future generations to admire!"
It was signed by Wu.
It shouldn't be finished because there was a vertical line next to it. Obviously, it was just the beginning.
Yongtai was the reign name of the current monarch of Zhuang State. It was now the fourteenth year of Yongtai in the Zhuang calendar, which was the year 3917 in the Taoist calendar.
In other words, the words on the rock were left two years ago. It was the time when Xizhe Peak was cleared out for the first time.
After Li Jianqiu killed the ferocious beasts, he didn't praise or conclude. He also didn't move forward. Instead, he stopped in front of the stone that obviously had a story.
This atmosphere made Huang Azhan, who had always been lively, shut his mouth.
Li Jianqiu was silent for a while and dispersed the flame sword in his hands. Finally, for the first time, he slowly pulled out the sword at his waist in front of Jiang Wang and the others.
This was the first time Jiang Wang saw the sword unsheathed.
Bright and brilliant were the first adjectives that came to mind. They didn't match with swords, but they were so suitable for this sword.
Li Jianqiu held the sword with one hand and added a few strokes on the rock.
Mount Wu.
This name was ordinary, but it should be the senior who seemed to be invincible.
Li Jianqiu moved the tip of the sword and carved another line on the rock. It said, "The future generations come to admire!"
Then, he carved another line and wrote, "Li Jianqiu, the prodigal dog."
The stone powder rustled and fell, as if it was hiding some emotions in the dust.
"Let's go." Li Jianqiu turned around and said, "Let's go to the top of the mountain."
They bypassed the huge rock and stepped on the fallen branches and rotten leaves, moving forward among the rugged rocks.
There might have been a road here before, but two years had passed and it had returned to its original appearance.
There was no road in the mountain, but the road was under their feet.
"I saw that your sword was broken just now. We can exchange it for a long magic sword after clearing out Xizhe Peak alone. I'll give it to you, "Li Jianqiu said casually.
"How can I do that?" Jiang Wang waved his hand and said, "It's not like I'm the only one contributing to the mission. Besides, Senior Brother, you're the main force …"
As a cultivator who was used to using swords, Jiang Wang's desire for a good sword went without saying. If it was just him and Zhao Rucheng on this trip, he wouldn't feel embarrassed. However, he wasn't that close to Li Jianqiu or Huang Azhan.
Li Jianqiu patted the sword at his waist. "I have a peach branch. I don't need any other sword. "
It turned out that this sword was called Peach Branch. What a fitting name, it was so bright and beautiful. Jiang Wang thought.
Li Jianqiu continued, "A magic sword of this level should be worth around 600 Dao Points. You can share 100 Dao Merit points with each of us. "
In that case, Jiang Wang had profited greatly. However, it was actually not a loss for the rest of the people. After all, Dao Points were hard currency, and the items exchanged from missions might not necessarily be suitable for them.
"Okay." Jiang Wang no longer hesitated.
The other two naturally had no objections.
Li Jianqiu turned to Huang Azhan and said, "Judging from your Dao techniques, you should be walking the same path as Shen Nanqi. It's just that one is of the metal element and the other is of the fire element. "
Huang Azhan scratched his head and smiled. "I'm just blindly figuring it out. It's not systematic."
"Fire element Dao techniques are violent. You have to pay more attention to the control of the Dao techniques. For example, this Dao technique, Flame Bullet. "Li Jianqiu casually made a hand seal and formed a flame bullet.
"When it explodes, how it explodes, at what scale, and at what speed. You have to be at ease. " Under Li Jianqiu's control, the flame bullet moved forward and backward, expanded and shrunk, and then suddenly accelerated, shattering a mountain rock.
"I've learned something." Huang Azhan bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
Li Jianqiu waved his hand and said to Zhao Rucheng, "You're very smart. Earlier, I said that Du Yehu's combat talent was the highest among you guys. I didn't expect to overlook you. Your combat talent isn't inferior to his. It's just that he's relying on his innate combat instincts. "
He bent his finger and tapped his head. "You're relying on this."
Zhao Rucheng chuckled. "Is that so? I wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me."
Huang Azhan pondered for a moment. "That's not right, Senior Martial Brother Li. So I'm the only one among the three of us who needs guidance? "
Li Jianqiu smiled but didn't say anything.
In that fierce battle just now, he actually knew the details of each person's battle like the back of his hand. This was enough to show that he was at ease.
However, for some reason, during the Three Cities Dao Debate, his performance wasn't enough to match his strength.
A weasel brush, the shaft of which was straight, the tip perfectly round, and the tip of the brush as thin as an awl.
If it was turned upside down, it would be roughly the shape of the Vertical Brush Peak.
After crossing the middle of the mountain and going up a bit, it would be the tip of the brush. It was also the place with the widest cross-section of the entire Vertical Brush Peak.
This was also the base camp of the Vicious Beasts of the Vertical Brush Peak.
Everyone could hear the roars of the beasts from a distance. When they got closer, some of the Vicious Beasts couldn't hold back and charged out.
This was like a signal. Then, like a hornet's nest exploding, all kinds of Vicious Beasts of all shapes and sizes swarmed over.
Wind Hounds, Rock Snakes, Tiger Jackals, Mountain Spiders …
Under such circumstances, Li Jianqiu still had the leisure to do a rough count. "Not bad, less than a hundred. It's far from forming a large scale."
He took a step forward and unsheathed the peach branch!
The sword light was resplendent, and the sword qi was vast and mighty.
His entire person squeezed into the Beast Tide amidst a kind of magnificent bright red.
It was like the arrival of spring and the blooming of peach blossoms.
The peach blossoms were blood-colored, and what bloomed was the Life Spirit.
Li Jianqiu's body was like a red tide, sweeping through the Beast Tide.
Jiang Wang and the others didn't even have the chance to make a move. They watched this scene with their mouths agape.
The red tide retreated. All the roars and howls stopped.
Only Li Jianqiu's thin figure was left standing.
A person, a sword, and a ground full of Vicious Beasts' corpses.
That kind of scene, what a great freehand painting!
"Senior Brother Li." Huang Azhan was so shocked that he even forgot to flatter him. "You're so strong. Why do you still want to bring us along?"
Li Jianqiu held the peach branch in his hand and looked at the mountainside. Among the Vicious Beasts' corpses all over the ground, he suddenly let out a long roar!
His voice shook the high cliff and spread to the distant mountains.
It was as if all the pent-up frustrations were gone. It was indescribably carefree and heroic!
After he finished his long roar, he sheathed his sword and said, "The person who left the words on the stone inscription loved to show off in front of people and liked to boast. The reason I brought you all here is to fulfill his dying wish of being admired by the younger generation. "
Jiang Wang hesitated and said, "That Senior Brother Wu Shan … was he also a student of Maplewood City's Dao College?"
"He should be in the same year as Senior Brother Zhu, but his strength was far inferior. His strength back then was far inferior to mine now. " Li Jianqiu shook his head. The expression on his face couldn't tell if it was more nostalgic or sorrowful.
"I've told you before, right? My teammates are all dead. "
Li Jianqiu paused for a moment and continued, "They died under his leadership."
He turned to look in the direction of the peak of Vertical Brush Peak. Perhaps it was just to turn his back in front of Jiang Wang and the others.
His voice echoed in the peak. "He was extremely weak. But when the Beast Tide erupted and broke through the defense line. He stood in front of the Beast Tide. He said that the people of Maplewood City's Dao College couldn't be looked down upon by the people of Tri-Mountain City.
"All of them stood in front of the Beast Tide. I ran."
Jiang Wang and the others looked at his back. It looked especially lonely under the mountain wind. They immediately understood the inscription he had carved. Prodigal Dog Li Jianqiu.
This line of words had probably been engraved in his heart for two years, more than seven hundred days and nights.
And after he really carved this line of words on the stone wall and killed all the Vicious Beasts on Vertical Brush Peak, he was finally able to reconcile with them.
