Continuing south, they encountered another three groups of assassins. Chen Changsheng continued to kill, and then he continued to faint. This process repeated itself, not many times, but each time it was extremely dangerous. In this process, the assassin Liu Qing, who had always been hiding in the mountains, never appeared. There were even times when he suspected that the assassin had been thrown off.
Although they had already encountered six groups of assassins, compared to the various powers searching for them around Tianliang County, this was already the best result. Su Li had an extremely clear grasp of the situation, and he also knew very well where those people that wanted to kill him would appear. He also knew even more clearly how to deal with the situation. Where did this ability come from?
The choice of the route was completely arranged by Su Li. They never went to places with many people, but they also did not blindly walk through the wilderness. More often than not, they disguised themselves as ordinary travelers and traveled south with ordinary people on the official roads. Chen Changsheng felt more and more admiration for his arrangements, but also more and more doubts. One day, he finally could not suppress the doubts in his heart and asked why it was like this. Su Li said, "The world is not good for hiding people. The best place to hide people is in the human world, so walking in the human world is the safest, but also the most dangerous. The choice depends on the heart."
Chen Changsheng then asked what did the so-called 'depends on the heart' mean, and how could he judge it? Su Li thought it over and said, "Wait until you are like me and have killed so many people and been killed by so many people, then you will naturally have the ability in this aspect." Chen Changsheng said after thinking it over. If he needed to learn it like this, then it was better not to learn it.
Chen Changsheng had not learned the story and ability of the assassin in the night, nor could he learn it. His talent in this aspect was clearly somewhat lacking, but his talent in the path of the sword began to reveal its edge under Su Li's guidance. His grasp of the Intellectual Sword grew deeper and deeper, but his spiritual world still could not support it. His use of the Blazing Sword grew more and more smooth, but of course, he still had to pay an extremely heavy price from the ignition of his true essence. However, two more Star Condensation experts had been defeated by his sword.
Counting it like this, he had already successively completed five surpassing cultivation levels, and these five surpassing cultivation levels had been continuous. Among his opponents were a long-established Divine General like Xue He, as well as a great hero of the north like Lin Pingyuan.
Right now, he was still a youth not even sixteen years old.
He didn't know if something like this had ever happened in the history of the cultivation world, nor would he know in the future, but at the very least, in the several hundred years since Su Li had left the mountain, something like this had never happened, and he himself had never done it. Of course, this did not mean that Chen Changsheng was stronger than Su Li back then, because there were many specific differences. For example, Su Li's mind was more focused on the Garden of Zhou, and at that time, he did not have the opportunity to endlessly engage in battles of life and death with Star Condensation experts. However, Chen Changsheng's performance was already sufficiently strong, so strong that Su Li was somewhat moved, and then moved.
On a certain night, Su Li began to teach Chen Changsheng the third sword style. Chen Changsheng had only used the time it took for the cold meat soup pot to heat up last night to memorize the sword technique. Su Li looked at him and sighed, "You really are very suited to learning the sword."
Chen Chang Sheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Senior is flattering me."
Suitable for learning the sword was an extremely high praise, let alone coming from Su Li's mouth.
Su Li looked at him and said, "If I did not have Qiushan and … to inherit my legacy, perhaps I really would have chosen you."
Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, "There's no need, there's no need. Junior is the successor of the orthodox Orthodoxy, so it's impossible for me to take another master."
Su Li understood that with Chen Changsheng's personality, it was only natural for him to refuse. It was just that he had refused so quickly, without even the slightest hesitation to make things difficult for him, which still made Su Li feel very uncomfortable.
As a result, he expressionlessly analyzed the six battles that Chen Changsheng had encountered. Using detailed and accurate data and calculations, he finally came to a conclusion, "Your luck is good, or else you would have died a long time ago. What right do you have to be proud of yourself?"
Chen Changsheng thought about it and had to admit that the reason he and Su Li were able to live until now was not because of Su Li's insight, Su Li's teaching of the sword, or his talent in the path of the sword, but because of luck … on the road, Su Li had already exclaimed many times in praise of his luck, or in other words, good fortune. He said with great certainty that since he and Chen Changsheng were both people with great fortune, if they traveled together, even if they wanted to die, it would not be easy. After being said so much, he became somewhat numb. Occasionally, Chen Changsheng would even begin to accept that his fate was very good, but when he thought that his fate really was very bad, he would often feel very perplexed.
After finishing the leftover cold meat soup from last night, Chen Changsheng tightened his clothes and rubbed his cheeks that were pale from weakness. He began to quietly comprehend the third sword that Su Li had taught him, unwilling to waste a single moment. Su Li leaned on the back of the furry deer and looked at the youth's back in silence for a very long time. Then he looked south and thought silently.
"Qiushan, there's a pretty good guy coming from behind you. You have to run a little faster, or else he really will catch up.
… …
… …
The escape through the wilderness and the official road finally came to an end, and the two arrived outside Xunyang City. Chen Changsheng gave the two furry deer to a farmer outside the city. He took out some silver and a dagger, threatening and enticing the farmer to not leak the news and to take good care of the two furry deer. Su Li looked at this scene with a sneer on his face, but he said nothing.
Xunyang City was the largest city in the northern part of Tianliang County. The city was bustling and bustling. Su Li and Chen Changsheng disguised themselves as ordinary traveling merchants and silently snuck into the city. They found an inn to stay in, and no one actually noticed them. This was the first time Chen Changsheng had slept on a bed after entering the Garden of Zhou. His head touched the pillow and he began to snore, just like how Su Li had slept soundly in the hot springs of the snowy mountains. This time, he slept for an entire day and night. It could be imagined just how great the mental pressure on his journey had been, and just how exhausted he was.
After waking up, Chen Changsheng walked to the window and looked at the bustling streets of Xunyang City in silence for a very long time. He felt that he could not continue like this, because he was truly very tired, very weak — he did not want to continue on the road and then wait for those assassins and experts to appear wave after wave. He did not like waiting for the unknown, did not like this sort of feeling. He found Su Li and said, "Many people have already come to Tianliang County. I believe that the people of the Mount Li Sword Sect have already received the news. Since that's the case, why do we still need to hide our tracks?"
Su Li replied, "I said before, I only trust myself."
Chen Changsheng said nothing.
On this journey, he had seen very clearly that Su Li appeared to be a very undisciplined, and sometimes even very cute, senior and expert, but in reality, he was just like his name: very distant from this world. Su Li did not believe in humanity, did not believe in the human heart, did not believe in his own world, did not speak with this world, so he would never ask this world for help.
He walked alone, and he had already walked for several hundred years.
But Chen Changsheng did not want to walk like this. He always believed that if he maintained goodwill towards the world, the world would also display goodwill towards him. When you saw the charming green mountains, the green mountains would also find you much more pleasing to the eye.
"If this continues, we'll be at too much of a disadvantage. While we're sleeping, all we encounter are enemies. We simply can't find a single helper."
"Where can we find a helper?"
"The world is formed from night and day. In the past few days, we've always been walking in the darkness, so all we see is night, all we encounter is darkness. However, if we walk into the sunlight, perhaps we can see the sunlight." Chen Changsheng looked at Su Li and said very seriously, "Why is Senior not willing to try?"
Su Li said, "Where did this sour and rotten poet come from? I'm not willing to use my life to prove that your view is wrong. "
Chen Changsheng replied, "But I very much want to prove that Senior is wrong."
Su Li arched his brows and looked at him. "You can't act recklessly."
Chen Changsheng asked, "What do you mean by acting recklessly?"
Su Li was very angry. "I know what you want to do, brat. Don't forget, this is my life. My life is up to me, not the heavens, and it's even less up to you!"
"But … for Senior to be able to live until now, isn't it precisely because of my efforts?"
Chen Changsheng looked at him very seriously, his sparkling eyes wide open. He looked very cute, but in Su Li's eyes, he was very repulsive.
Su Li felt that his hands were somewhat cold. Suppressing his voice, he yelled, "You little madman, I …"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Changsheng walked straight to the window and used both hands to push it open.
In the depths of spring, Xunyang City was a cauldron of voices and the spring sunshine was bright and beautiful.
The window was pushed open, and the sunlight and spring wind poured into the room, illuminating the gloomy night.
A shout as clear and bright as the spring sunshine resounded through the streets of Xunyang City.
"Mount Li's Junior Martial Uncle, Su Li is here!"
