Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 256: Killing Yanni with a Sword
"There are so many people here, why did you choose me?"

Looking at the middle-aged nun with peach blossom eyes who was rushing towards him, Chu Yuan said calmly.

next moment……

The middle-aged nun with peach blossom eyes leaped into the air, but was suddenly caught off guard and fell from the sky.

Then, a white light visible to the naked eye burst out from Chu Yuan's eyes and pierced towards the middle-aged nun with peach blossom eyes.

"Spare my life..."

The middle-aged nun with peach blossom eyes had a look of shock and fear on her face.

Because she saw that in the white light that burst out from Chu Yuan's eyes, there was actually a small sword about three or four inches long, piercing straight into her eyes.

She wanted to dodge, but found that she couldn't avoid the small sword no matter what.

No matter how he dodged, the small sword followed him like a shadow.

This is a small sword between reality and illusion.

No matter how she dodged, it was as if it had locked onto her.

Unfortunately, it was too late for her to beg for mercy. Before she could finish her words, a tiny red dot appeared between her eyebrows. It quickly expanded and turned into a sword mark.

The passers-by around took a closer look and saw that there was an oval sword scar the size of a fingernail in the middle of the forehead of the middle-aged nun with peach blossom eyes.

Her head had been pierced from front to back.

The middle-aged nun with peach blossom eyes opened her eyes wide, looked unwillingly at Chu Yuan who was standing not far away, and fell to the ground unwillingly.

It was not until she died that she found out that this young Taoist priest, who looked no more than a teenager, was actually a hermit master whom she should never have offended.

hiss!
The people and tourists at the surrounding docks and standing on the bow of the passenger ship watching the excitement, as well as the couple who had just been abandoned by the middle-aged nun with peach blossom eyes, all gasped in amazement when they saw this scene, with their mouths slightly open, not closing for a long time.

They didn't even see how the young Taoist priest did it.

This "Yan Ni", who was considered a master of the Iron Cavalry Society in the martial arts world, died inexplicably at the hands of the other party.

Chu Yuan only turned around, a visible white light burst out of his eyes, and then "Yanni" died.

"The Right Protector is dead, the Right Protector is dead!"

"Kill this little Taoist priest and avenge the Right Protector!"

"The little Taoist priest is insidious and must have used despicable means. Everyone, be careful."

As for the dozen or so strong men in black clothes holding ring-handled swords who were fighting with the rebels not far away, some people noticed that their leader was dead, but they did not see the scene of Chu Yuan fighting with their leader.

They thought that their leader was killed by Chu Yuan using some despicable means and was caught off guard.

So they gave up the rebel army that was being beaten back step by step, leaving nearly ten corpses behind, and surrounded Chu Yuan.

"Master, be careful..."

Shen Luoyan saw this scene and was about to remind Chu Yuan.

But Chu Yuan was not in a hurry. He raised his right hand lightly, placed it in front of his abdomen, and flicked his fingers at the dozen or so strong men in black who were rushing towards him with knives.

Each finger released a sword energy as thick as an adult's arm.

Then, every enemy six feet away was like being shot by a crossbow arrow in the army. Their chests were pierced by sword energy, blood spurted out, and they fell down like wheat being cut.

Someone was hit by the sword energy and flew up into the air. He flew more than ten meters in the air before falling to the ground. Someone's chest was pierced by the sword energy, and the sword energy continued to shoot onto the ground behind him, creating a hole one or two feet deep on the ground.

In just a few moments, more than a dozen strong men in black were killed.

There were corpses all over the ground.

Chu Yuan didn't even give those burly men in black, who had expressions of fear on their faces and wanted to escape, a chance to escape.

"I haven't used this martial art for a long time. I feel that the power of the sword energy has increased a little."

Chu Yuan looked at the corpse on the ground and said to himself.

The martial arts he just used was the "Six Meridians Divine Sword".

I have to say that this martial art is simply the most useful martial art for clearing out miscellaneous soldiers and thugs in group battles.

Originally, the distance that the sword energy of "Six Meridians Divine Sword" could be shot out was only a little over two meters, no more than three meters.

However, the power and intensity of the sword energy of "Six Meridians Divine Sword" depends on the strength of the practitioner's own internal force.

The higher the internal strength of the practitioner, the more powerful the sword energy he shoots out will be.

Now Chu Yuan has made great progress in practicing the "Eternal Life Secret" and has even achieved the seven diagrams of simultaneous practice. The innate true qi in his body has all the five elements and yin and yang attributes, and not only is the quality high, but the quantity is also good.

Therefore, every sword energy he shot out had already exceeded the maximum distance of three meters and reached eleven meters, more than three times.

Its power is comparable to the crossbow arrows fired from military crossbows.

The passers-by watching around the dock and the tourists watching the excitement on the bow of the passenger ship docked at the dock fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, some people started to talk quietly.

"They're all dead now?"

"Didn't you see that even the rampant 'Yanni' is dead?"

"Yanni is dead, and the Iron Cavalry will suffer a great loss this time."

"The Iron Cavalry Society is a Jiangnan gang that has only risen in recent years. Its leader Shaoming is a very powerful master. Together with the leader of the Poyang Society, Lin Shihong, who recently proclaimed himself the Emperor of Chu, they are known as the two tyrants of Jiangnan. They are both influential figures in the Jiangnan martial arts world. This little Taoist dared to offend the Iron Cavalry Society. Is he courting death?"

"Have you seen his martial arts? He is just a young Taoist priest, but he killed the notorious "Yan Ni" in the martial arts world without any effort. I have never seen a few Taoist priests with such powerful martial arts. This Taoist priest is a strong man. I am afraid that the Iron Cavalry will meet its match this time!"

Passersby around were talking about it.

"His martial arts skills have improved again."

Fu Jun'er, who was beside Chu Yuan, saw this scene and thought to herself.

Every time she saw Chu Yuan take action, she always felt that Chu Yuan's martial arts had suddenly improved.

Just like when Chu Yuan just made his move and killed that first-rate acquired master named "Yan Ni", she didn't even understand what martial arts Chu Yuan used and how he killed the other person!

Later, when Chu Yuan killed those burly men in black, she could see a little bit of the secret. It seemed to be a special martial art that could use one's own true energy to transform into sword energy. It was incredibly powerful, comparable to a crossbow arrow.

It was precisely because of this that the dozen or so Iron Cavalry masters were killed by Chu Yuan in an instant.

But she had never seen Chu Yuan use this martial art before.

This made her even more worried. Not only did Chu Yuan display all kinds of incredible martial arts from time to time, but he also made amazing progress.

She was worried that at this rate, within a few years, Chu Yuan might become the fourth grandmaster in the world.

Just as the tourists and people around the dock and on the bow were discussing this, the man and woman who had just fought with the middle-aged nun also put away their weapons and walked over.

The beautiful woman wearing armor and looking heroic put the iron hairpin weapon in her hair back into her bun and thanked Chu Yuan: "Master, you are so chivalrous. Thank you for your help. If you hadn't helped us just now, it would have taken us a long time to get rid of this "Yan Ni". "

The man holding a broad sword and sheathing it also said, "Yes, we two have to thank the Taoist priest."

Chu Yuan said: "Don't worry about it. I didn't intend to attack in the first place. If this nun hadn't been so reckless and insisted on attacking me, I wouldn't have bothered to do it."

Chu Yuan is a person who rarely takes the initiative to cause trouble.

He heard everything that the two parties had just said, as well as the comments of the onlookers.

Based on this information, he has analyzed the identities of the two parties.

The man and woman in front of me!

They should be people from Wagangzhai, the largest anti-Sui force in the world. Puyang County happens to be within the sphere of influence of Wagangzhai, so it is not surprising that they appear here.

Wagangzhai played an important role in the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

The woman in front of him who was thanking him, who was extremely beautiful, wearing armor, and looked heroic, should be Shen Luoyan, the beautiful military strategist of Wagangzhai.

As for the person next to him, I really don’t understand him.

Looking at the relationship between the two, they seem close on the surface, but in fact they are somewhat distant.

As for the group of people who just died in his hands, they should be members of the Iron Cavalry Society.

The beautiful middle-aged nun who wanted to kidnap the handsome young man when she saw him should be the right protector of the Iron Cavalry Society, "Yan Ni".

Shen Luoyan: ...

Unknown man: ...

They didn't expect Chu Yuan to be so honest. He didn't even say the nice words that adults should say. Although they saw it all just now, the reason why "Yan Ni" died was indeed because she shouldn't have attacked the person in front of her.

But no matter what, Chu Yuan saved them once.

The young man said, "My name is Xu Shiji, and the person next to me is my fiancée Shen Luoyan. May I ask your name?"

Chu Yuan looked Xu Shiji up and down. He didn't expect that he would meet one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion on the road.

The Xu Shiji in front of us should still be a trusted general of Wagangzhai. After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he not only followed Li Shimin to pacify the four directions and win the world for Li Tang, but later he defeated DTZ and Goguryeo, established great military exploits, and was finally named Duke.

As a famous general who could fight against foreign tribes, Chu Yuan now felt that he had not saved the wrong person. Chu Yuan replied: "My last name is Chu Yuan, and my Taoist name is Qingyang Taoist."

Shen Luoyan and Xu Shiji were stunned when they heard this. Xu Shiji asked in surprise, "The Taoist priest is the Taoist Qingyang who has become famous recently?"

Shen Luoyan was also surprised and said, "It is said that the Taoist master has mastered the "Eternal Life Secret", one of the four great books in the world, which even the tyrant king wants to obtain. No wonder his martial arts are so powerful."

"Taoist Qingyang!"

"It's him. He actually appeared here!"

"No wonder his martial arts skills are so powerful."

"Everyone says that Taoist Qingyang is young, but I didn't expect him to be so young."

"Is the Secret of Immortality very powerful?"

"Of course it is amazing. It is said to be a treasure left behind by Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. It is said that if one can understand the secret of the 'Eternal Life Secret', one can achieve immortality and even break through the void and ascend to become an immortal."

"Yes, it is said that even the emperor wants to get this treasure."

"No wonder this Taoist priest looks so young but has such powerful martial arts skills."

The people and passers-by around heard the conversation between Chu Yuan and the other two and discussed it in low voices.

Many people looked at Chu Yuan from afar, their eyes full of amazement.

Because Chu Yuan is the most popular person in the martial arts world in the past two years.

I don’t know if he can compare with those famous masters and grandmasters of the older generation in terms of martial arts skills, but he can definitely compare with them in terms of fame.

Even many ordinary people who are not from the martial arts world have heard of Chu Yuan's Taoist name and his deeds.

Because what happened to Chu Yuan was so mysterious and bizarre.

At such a young age, the other party not only obtained "The Secret of Immortality", one of the four great books in the world that the emperor wanted but failed to obtain, but also mastered it.

This alone is enough to make people all over the world remember him.

"It's getting late. We are going to Jiangnan. I'll take my leave now."

Chu Yuan saw that the passenger ship docked at the pier had already folded up the wooden planks for boarding and raised the sails. The passenger ship was slowly sailing away from the pier. Chu Yuan said to the two of them.

"Master, you have such great skills and martial arts. At this time when the world is in danger, why don't you serve a wise master and build a career?"

But Shen Luoyan didn't seem to want to let Chu Yuan leave, so she persuaded Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan stopped walking when he heard this, with a smile in his eyes, looking at the beautiful Shen Luoyan and said, "Why, is Military Advisor Shen recruiting talents and inviting me to join the Wagang Camp?"

As far as he knew, Shen Luoyan was well-known in the martial arts world as the "Beauty Military Strategist".

But she has another name that is even more outstanding:

Femme fatale!

It is said that in addition to being well versed in military tactics and strategies, she is also extremely intelligent, has a unique vision, and is extremely courageous. At the same time, she is unscrupulous and ruthless.

Anyone considered an opponent will be eliminated without hesitation.

In the original plot, because he admired Shuanglong's talent and martial arts, he wanted to recruit talents for Wagangzhai. However, after being rejected by Shuanglong, he made up his mind and set up an ambush to kill the two of them to prevent them from joining others. He became the opponent of Wagangzhai, but was later escaped by Shuanglong.

But Chu Yuan is not Shuanglong. If Shen Luoyan dares to have this idea, he will definitely kill him without mercy.

Xu Shiji could hear the coldness behind Chu Yuan's smile. He took two steps forward, stood in front of his fiancée and apologized, "Master Qingyang, the ship has already sailed. You need to board it and head south. Why don't you wait for the next ship? Luoyan was not thinking right just now. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Chu Yuan withdrew his gaze from Shen Luoyan behind Xu Shiji and said, "No need."

He turned around and found that the passenger ship had left the dock and was in the center of the canal, about 13 or 15 feet away from the dock.

He performed the light skill "Xiao Yao You" and took a step forward while carrying Fu Jun'er beside him.

The next moment, the two figures disappeared from the spot and appeared on the shore. Chu Yuan took another step forward, and the two appeared at the passenger ship dock.

Because Chu Yuan was moving too fast, everyone's eyesight could not keep up. In everyone's eyes, above the water surface and where Chu Yuan passed, there were afterimages of Chu Yuan and Fu Jun'er passing by, and they continued to dissipate as time passed.

The lightness skill displayed by Chu Yuan not only shocked the people on the shore, but also the tourists standing on the bow of the boat.

Everyone on the bow deck seemed to be transformed into sculptures when they saw this scene.

Chu Yuan took out a bunch of silver from his arms and threw it to the boatman who was closest to him on the deck and had not yet recovered: "Two first-class tickets, should we still be able to board the ship now?"

Chu Yuan is the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, which is now considered a big sect in the martial arts world. As the leader, he has no shortage of money to spend when he goes out.

The boatman woke up as if from a dream, and quickly took the silver and said, "You can get on the boat, you can get on the boat."

nonsense!

Dare I say I can't get on board?

and……

You two have already come up now, do you still need to ask me?

However, the boatman only dared to say this in his heart.

After the boatman took the change to report, the captain in charge soon came over and arranged two not too small rooms for Chu Yuan and Fu Jun'er respectively.

Tickets for the Sui Dynasty ships are also divided into different levels.

The most common lower-class ticket only allows movement on the deck and in the cabin, which can shelter you from wind and rain, but there is no seat.

The slightly better Class C and Class B tickets come with fixed seats in the cabin for rest.

Both types of tickets do not include meals, and you need to get off the boat and eat on your own when you arrive at a pier.

Finally, there are two types of tickets, B-class and A-class. Both provide meals and have their own private space. The space on B-class tickets is very small and can only accommodate one person to lie down and rest normally. The space on A-class tickets is slightly larger and has considerable room for activities.

The captain came over and told Chu Yuan about the types of tickets. The money Chu Yuan gave was more than enough to buy two first-class tickets.

Chu Yuan and Fu Jun'er naturally stayed in a separate first-class room.

It also avoids making the ordinary people on the deck who just saw him boarding the ship feel uneasy because of their appearance.

……

Puyang County.

The dock outside the city.

"What an amazing Qinggong!"

"So fast!"

"This is much more powerful than those masters of Qinggong that I have seen before who can only fly over eaves and walls."

"This Taoist priest Qingyang has mastered the Secret of Immortality. Could it be that he has become a god?"

"I think it's almost the same."

After Chu Yuan and Fu Jun'er boarded the ship, they watched the passenger ship slowly sail away, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappearing on the surface of the canal. The people at the dock could be heard talking endlessly.

Although Xu Shiji was also amazed at Chu Yuan's lightness skills, he felt heavy in his heart when he thought about what had just happened.

He turned to Shen Luoyan and said, "Luoyan, do you know that you just offended that Taoist Qingyang?"

Shen Luoyan realized it a little late, but didn't care much and said, "I admired the martial arts of Taoist Qingyang, so I invited him to join Wagang Village."

Xu Shiji said: "But for masters like them who don't like to be restrained, you recruiting them without reason is an offense."

Xu Shiji felt that the danger in Chu Yuan's tone when he spoke just now was not his illusion.

Shen Luoyan felt a little upset and said, "I tried to recruit him for the village, but he refused. Can he kill us?"

Xu Shiji saw Shen Luoyan still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so he said: "Luoyan, you are extremely intelligent and smart, but don't I know you? When you meet a truly talented person and invite him to join you, you do love talents, but you will not tolerate a truly talented person becoming a rival of Wagangzhai. Tell me the truth, did you have bad thoughts about Taoist Qingyang just now?"

Shen Luoyan is very smart, but smart people tend to be conceited and think they can hide their thoughts well.

However, when encountering a master like Taoist Qingyang who has superb martial arts and mysterious methods, the other party may see through Shen Luoyan's thoughts at a glance.

Shen Luoyan suddenly realized and said, "You mean Taoist Qingyang, you just noticed my thoughts?"

Xu Shiji shook his head: "I'm not sure, but you and I must not underestimate it. Even the tyrant Yang Guang wanted to get the Secret of Immortality."

Shen Luoyan said helplessly: "It seems that I have offended the person who has done us a favor."

As the saying goes, evil comes from the courage and thoughts come from the heart.

When she was rejected by Chu Yuan just now, there was a moment in her mind when she did have the bad idea that if she couldn't get it, she would destroy it and must not let Chu Yuan become a rival of Wagangzhai.

Unfortunately, when she thought of Chu Yuan’s superb martial arts, she was forced to give up due to reality.

I didn't expect that just a momentary thought, which didn't even have any malicious intent, was noticed by the other party.

"It's okay. Next time we meet, we will explain it to Taoist Qingyang and resolve the misunderstanding."

Xu Shiji comforted her.
