Chapter 35: Heavy Sword Without Edge
Outside Xiangyang City, Jianghu Inn

When Li Shiba saw Fang Hao carrying a heavy sword, he was very surprised, because according to the original plan, his leader should have returned to Taihu Lake by now.

"Alliance leader, what are you doing?" Li Shiba stepped forward and asked.

"Go, help me find an old man, about eighty or ninety years old, wearing a gray Taoist robe and with an extremely ugly face. I want to get news about this old man within three days." Fang Hao ordered directly.

"Alliance leader, if it was someone else it would be fine, but I have actually seen the old man you are talking about." Li Shiba said without hesitation.

"Oh?" Fang Hao's eyes lit up and he asked, "Where is he?"

"The ferry crossing." Li Shiba said, "This old man goes back and forth to the middle of the Han River three times a day without fail. I don't know what he is looking for. He is very eye-catching."

Mu Lingzi was actually still in Xiangyang, which surprised Fang Hao a little, but besides being surprised, Fang Hao was also very happy.

The trip to the Desolate Valley not only greatly increased his strength and improved his cultivation, but also enabled him to master the Black Iron Sword Technique, greatly increasing his combat power.

It's time to try out my current abilities against Taoist Mu Lingzi!
Fang Hao was about to leave when he heard Li Shiba say, "Alliance Master, here is an urgent document that Master Zhang sent to Xiangyang a few days ago. I thought that since you have already returned to Taihu Lake, I kept it and happened to present it to you now."

Fang Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it an urgent matter from Zhang Shiwu?"

Fang Hao picked up the letter and saw that the wax ball at the seal was intact, and nodded.

He opened the letter and took a closer look. It turned out that the letter was about the war between the Haisha Gang and the Dajiang Alliance.

Since the Haisha Gang ran rampant in the coastal areas of Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Lin'an and other places, its power has greatly increased and there is a tendency to expand into inland areas.

The Dajiang Alliance, which stretches across Taihu Lake, became a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

When Fang Hao was away, Zhang Yimang, the "Wheel Sword" of the Dajiang League, had fought with the Haisha Gang many times, with both sides winning and losing.

However, this time, it was said that the second-in-command of the Haisha Gang, "Thousand-Handed Demon" Yu Guanhai, would come forward in person. Zhang Shiwu was worried that he only had Zhang Yimang as a master on his side, and that he would be unable to carry the team alone.

"Is it the Haisha Gang again?" This was not the first time Fang Hao had dealt with this gang that spanned the sea.

After all, the third in command of the Haisha Gang, "Slayer" Lei Gun, died at his hands, so the arrival of another "Thousand-Handed Demon" doesn't seem to be a big deal.

"It's time to return to Taihu Lake." Fang Hao has been wandering around and it has been more than half a year since he left the Dajiang League. If he doesn't go back, the situation may become unstable and people's morale may be demoralized.

This letter from Zhang Shiwu was written to prepare for a rainy day and convey this message.

"However, you have to allow me to meet Mu Lingzi again first!" Thinking of this, Fang Hao called Li Shiba again and gave him some instructions.

……

Han River, ferry pier

Mu Lingzi was still wearing a gray Taoist robe, sitting on the dock. This was his seventh day here, and also his last day.

If Fang Hao couldn't come any longer, he would take a boat and go directly to Taihu Lake.

Yes, Mu Lingzi was very sure that Fang Hao was definitely not dead!
For a person of the older generation like him, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. If he said three moves, it meant three moves, so he must fight Fang Hao again.

Just when he was calm and composed, with his eyes closed.

On one side of the dock, Fang Hao, carrying a heavy black iron sword, has appeared in Mu Lingzi's sight.

"You are not dead after all." Mu Lingzi said in a deep voice. "Senior Mu Lingzi is fine, how could I die!" Fang Hao responded.

"That's good, it saves me from having to make another trip." Mu Lingzi said leisurely, "Are you ready to take on my third move?"

"Why should I take your blow?" Fang Hao grinned and said, "Old Niubi, if you can survive my sword this time, I will spare your life."

"Good boy, you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is." Mu Lingzi's eyes condensed and said: "Do you really think that I can't kill you?"

"Senior Mu Lingzi has been emphasizing the three-move agreement." Fang Hao said to himself, "I was just wondering, why can it only be three moves?"

Seeing Mu Lingzi's gray eyebrows twitching, Fang Hao knew what was going on and said calmly, "I'm afraid it's not that you don't want to kill me, but that you can't kill me with all your strength."

"That's right. Although your internal strength has reached the level of nature, you are old after all. Your Qi and blood are empty. Even with the internal strength, it will be difficult for you to last long. So you must fight quickly and decisively."

"Senior Mu Lingzi, what I said is not wrong, right?" When saying the last sentence, Fang Hao looked directly at the other party, with a sense of tit-for-tat.

"Yes, although I finally cultivated the 'Shangqing Heart Method' to the state of 'empty and clear, like a baby' five years ago, it's a pity that I am old and weak, and it is difficult to last."

Mu Lingzi paused and said, "But even if I am weak, it is enough to take you down!"

"Really?" Fang Hao raised his hand and slowly drew his sword from behind, saying, "I also said that one sword is enough to deal with you!"

On the dock, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and murderous due to the interaction of the two people's auras.

The originally bustling crowd, out of human instinct, moved away and looked curiously at the old and the young who were confronting each other.

Fang Hao was only sixteen years old, just like the rising sun, a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

Mu Lingzi is nearly ninety years old, and his days are numbered and he could die at any moment.

Even so, facing this old man, even Fang Hao, whose martial arts skills have greatly improved, did not dare to be careless at all, because the other party was a genuine master-level expert.

In a low-level martial arts world like "The World of The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there is no such thing as a level division among people who practice martial arts. The so-called second-rate, third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate are mostly conventions.

But the martial arts masters who are above the top masters are completely different from ordinary people.

The so-called masters are all experts who have cultivated to the innate state of "empty, clear and pure, like a baby".

Such a person not only greatly increases his skills, but also delays aging and prolongs his life.

The fact that Mu Lingzi is already in his eighties or nineties and can still jump around everywhere is proof of this.

However, their cultivation levels are all supported by the "innate qi" that they have cultivated with great difficulty. If this qi is lost, they will surely die.

Therefore, when an old master takes action, he must defeat his opponent in a very short period of time, otherwise he may die from exhaustion.

Mu Lingzi's thoughts were seen through by Fang Hao, but he did not argue. As a master-level expert, even if he could only use one move, he was confident that he could defeat Fang Hao!
"Buzz!"

The next moment, Fang Hao finally drew his sword. The sword was heavy and had no peak. It was a great skill. He swung it out casually and poured his internal force into the sword body. Then a majestic energy heavier than Mount Tai surged out.

An ordinary sword stabbing move gives people an endless feeling of whistling wind and pine waves like the sea.

Mu Lingzi's face darkened. With just this one sword, the old man knew that Fang Hao must have had an adventure recently, and his skills and moves had improved greatly!
