Chapter 78 The Swordsman
In the lush green mountains outside Baihong Town, although there is a scorching sun, it is spreading with a cool feeling.
Jian Shuxuan, holding a sword, stood on a huge rock, with his eyes slightly closed.
Let the breeze blow, the blue bird landed on his head, pecked a few times before flying away.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
In sight.
It was Xiao Zhinan, who was holding the sword, who came slowly.
Jian Shuxuan frowned slightly and said softly: "Mr. Seven from Ligong Sword Court dared to kill people in Xuanzhengsi, but did not dare to respond. Instead, he asked Miss Xiao to come. What was the intention?"
Xiao Zhinan was looking at Jian Shuxuan.
Jian Shuxuan is already in her prime. Although she has a sense of youth, the indifferent aura on his body also has a sense of maturity, which is considered to be the state of a young man growing up.
Just a glance, Xiao Zhinan became interested. The sword in her hand trembled slightly, which was a sign of wanting to break the sheath.
"I challenged Chen Qiubai and Ouyang Shengxue in the capital, but I didn't realize your existence, but you are much better than I thought. That guy Li Mengzhou finally didn't disappoint me."
Although Li Mengzhou was seriously injured at that time and was carried back by someone, he also described Jian Shuxuan's strength. Xiao Zhinan probably had a vague impression in his heart, but because he had never heard of the name Jian Shuxuan, she was still a little unsure. Perhaps Li Mengzhou would be so seriously injured, not because Jian Shuxuan was very strong, but Li Mengzhou was very weak?
Xiao Zhinan doesn't want to pay attention to whether Li Mengzhou is really weak, but now she knows that Jian Shuxuan is indeed very strong, even stronger than what Li Mengzhou described to her.
Jian Shuxuan frowned tightly.
Of course, he didn't really forget Xiao Zhinan, but he didn't expect that Li Mengzhou would not come. Apart from killing Li Mengzhou, Xiao Zhinan himself was the biggest obstacle, and the mysterious girl in green appeared. In fact, Jian Shuxuan didn't have the possibility of success.
He just wanted to figure out who the girl in green was.
In addition, Jian Shuxuan was also very curious. Although Li Mengzhou teamed up with Xiao Zhinan to leave the capital, would Xiao Zhinan draw his sword to help Li Mengzhou, and to what extent could he do?
After all, except for the two teams, Xiao Zhinan and Li Mengzhou really have nothing to do with each other.
Why did Xiao Zhinan do his best to save Li Mengzhou?
Jian Shuxuan was quite puzzled about Li Mengzhou's arrival but Xiao Zhinan came to the appointment before he arrived.
"Miss Xiao is the personal story of the sword lumbar in Beiyan Langhuan, and Li Mengzhou is the seventh Mr. Ligong Jianyuan. Although you are both disciples of the Jianmen, one is from Jiang Kingdom and the other is from Beiyan. Even though they have a relationship with Jianmen, they are actually dispensable. Why did Miss Xiao come to the appointment for Li Mengzhou?"
Xiao Zhinan frowned and said, "I am not going to the appointment for Li Mengzhou. Whether he is dead or alive, it has nothing to do with me. My purpose here is just to draw a sword. When the sword falls, you can go to Li Mengzhou again."
Jian Shuxuan said in confusion: "Miss Xiao won't interfere in this matter?"
He also knew that Xiao Zhinan challenged young strong men in the capital, and could understand what Xiao Zhinan expressed. However, Xiao Zhinan and Li Mengzhou finally came out of the capital together. After all, they experienced so many things along the way. At this time, they completely cleared up their words, which really made Jian Shuxuan a little confused. Xiao Zhinan did not explain anything, but asked with some confusion: "Li Mengzhou's useless man is worthy of being chased to Baihong Town to kill him, which is something I can't understand."
She didn't know very well what was going on between Li Mengzhou and Jian Shuxuan, but she only knew that Jian Shuxuan came from the capital. With Jian Shuxuan's cultivation, it was too easy to kill Li Mengzhou. The two of them could not be compared at all.
It is indeed easy for Jian Shuxuan to kill Li Mengzhou.
But along the way, there were spies from Tianshuyuan, and it was impossible to guarantee whether there were people watching in the capital. Jian Shuxuan naturally had no chance to take action. Xu Hexian meant to let him kill Li Mengzhou without knowing it, rather than making a fuss.
Baihong Town is currently not under the surveillance of the Tianshu Court spy. The possibility of Baihong Town being discovered by people in the capital is extremely small. It is the only and best time to take action that Jian Shuxuan found. However, when he was about to kill Li Mengzhou, a mysterious woman in blue was blocked, which led to his failure to succeed.
If he was just facing Li Mengzhou alone, it would be a matter of momentary action for Jian Shuxuan to kill him, but he has not yet seized the opportunity for this moment.
Naturally, he could not explain this to Xiao Zhinan, so he just jumped down from the huge rock and said lightly: "I understand what Miss Xiao means, but I don't want to."
In addition to necessary battles, Jian Shuxuan really rarely draws his sword, otherwise he would not have been able to hide so deeply in the capital.
When facing Ning Haoran in the capital.
When facing the girl in Qingyi who stopped him from killing Li Mengzhou.
Including Xiao Zhinan standing in front of him, he felt that there was no need to draw his sword.
Because Ning Haoran wanted to intercept him and gave Li Mengzhou the opportunity to save Gu Shiyan, no matter whether he drew his sword to Ning Haoran or not, he could not avoid this result, so he directly confronted Ning Haoran until dawn.
Because he knew clearly that even if he drew his sword from the girl in green, Li Mengzhou would not be able to kill him again, so he chose to leave directly.
Now, Li Mengzhou, who should have come here to make an appointment, did not appear, and the girl in green did not appear. Xiao Zhinan simply wanted to draw the sword, which had no meaning to Jian Shuxuan.
But this incident is very meaningful to Xiao Zhinan.
Her purpose of leaving Beiyan was to challenge all the young strong people in the world. Even though she had never heard of Jian Shuxuan's name, she could not deny that Jian Shuxuan was the opponent worthy of her drawing the sword, so it was naturally impossible to let her go easily.
There are broken rock splashes.
Smoke and dust lingering.
The duohua sword that broke the sheath was frozen in front of Jian Shuxuan.
Xiao Zhinan said lightly: "Please draw the sword."
Jian Shuxuan stared at the sword in front of him, frowned deeply. He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhinan and said, "I know you are very strong. Although I have not watched you and the big gentleman from Ligong Sword Court on the sword platform, I know very clearly that it is difficult for us to easily decide the outcome, so this battle is unnecessary, it is just a waste of time."
It is not because of how blindly confident or arrogant Jian Shuxuan is, he may think so in the eyes of ordinary people, but Xiao Zhinan, who can also perceive Jian Shuxuan's power, would clearly understand that Jian Shuxuan is just stating a fact.
But because of this, her idea of drawing her sword became even stronger.
"Please draw your sword."
Xiao Zhinan said this.
She is already in the realm of the sword in the Jianmen realm, and as long as the sword cultivators in the Jianmen can easily reach this level, only those small sword cultivators in the Shanye have not been able to practice the magical power of the Jianmen realm, so they always stagnate at the initial realm of the sword in a subtle way.
The person with a clear sword heart with a concrete sword intent is the real person with a monstrous character in the Sword Sect. Due to the decline of the Sword Sect, in addition to the loss of inheritance, most sword cultivators are also covered with dust in their sword hearts, and they cannot open the road to the Sword Immortal.
But the new sword cultivator is expected to avoid this obstacle. In the final analysis, if Xiao Zhinan wants to draw the sword, the sword must be drawn.
Jian Shuxuan remained silent.
Xiao Zhinan's attitude made him know that this battle seemed inevitable.
He looked at Baihong Town and said softly: "It seems that Li Mengzhou didn't dare to go to the appointment, but he had other things to do, but he really didn't take me seriously."
Xiao Zhinan also noticed some changes in Baihong Town and frowned slightly.
Jian Shuxuan continued, "Miss Xiao also felt it. There was a woman in green clothes in Baihong Town. When I was about to kill Li Mengzhou, she came forward to stop her. Although I had never fought with her, it was because I clearly understood that it was difficult for her and I to decide the outcome. Killing Li Mengzhou was destined to be undestined."
"Miss Xiao's sword is about to be unsheathed towards the world. If you ask me to draw the sword, you naturally look down on me, but in Baihong Town, I am not the only one who is qualified to unsheathed Miss Xiao's sword."
Xiao Zhinan pondered for a moment, then sneered and said, "Do you want me to challenge that girl and give you the chance to kill Li Mengzhou?"
Jian Shuxuan was not exposed to his embarrassment, and still said calmly: "I didn't expect this matter to be so difficult. Although Li Mengzhou is Mr. Seven of Ligong Sword Court, he is really weak. Even if he has crossed the threshold of the fourth realm now, it is easy to kill him, but he has Miss Xiao and the girl in green around him, so I have to consider it."
"But for Miss Xiao, isn't this just as you want? Since you don't care about Li Mengzhou's life or death, and have a powerful opponent to let you draw your sword, why not do it?"
Xiao Zhinan said indifferently: "If that girl is really capable, I will naturally go and challenge her, but it will not prevent me from drawing my sword from you now."
Jian Shuxuan was silent for a moment and said, "Then draw the sword."
Although in his heart, this matter had no meaning and was simply a waste of time, Xiao Zhinan's attitude showed that he would not give up and would also be a very troublesome thing. Since he had to waste time no matter what, it would be as simple as possible.
He slowly raised his sword-holding hand.
There were wisps of spiritual energy that splashed out, gathering, like a swimming snake lingering on its arm, twisting its wrist and stabbing it out, and a sword energy surged and rushed out.
Xiao Zhinan looked solemn and shook his sword body lightly. A clear light immediately appeared, blooming like a flower, with a vast sword intent. There was a long rainbow running through the sun between the sky and the earth, like a roaring wave, surging and raging.
Although Jian Shuxuan was practicing swordsmanship, he obviously had not been exposed to the true magical powers of the Sword Sect, and was still in the state of gathering momentum. This state was only the level of sword cultivator's methods, and it was not linked to his own cultivation level. Even if his swordsmanship was low, the sword he slashed should not be underestimated.
