My enemies became my companions

Chapter 587: Setting the Rules (Two in One)

"No need for ifs, what can you do?"

After these words were spoken, the whole place was silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were once again cast on Chen Yi and Qian An Ning in front of him.

The old Taoist priest looked back and recognized Qian An Ning as the master of Huangzhu Sword House. Although he was young, he was already famous. His father died early, and he inherited the Sword House at the age of twelve. At the age of fifteen, he broke the Golden Silkworm Gu Formation of the Miao Witch King with three swords. The most brutal thing was the slaughter of a giant snake in Huainan Road when he was twenty years old. At that time, a person was trapped in the snake's belly for three days, but this man actually split the snake in half and took the person away. This story became a legend. He can be said to be a young hero of his generation, otherwise he would not have been able to go to Longhu Mountain and become a righteous figure respected by everyone in the martial arts world.

Qian Anning went to Dragon Tiger with his best friend, who was a swordsman holding a knife and sat in his original position in silence.

The aggressive momentum was abruptly interrupted. After receiving the response, Qian An Ning said after a while: "…Since this is true, I hope you can give an explanation of what method Captain Chen used to force the Heavenly Official to kneel down."

As he spoke further, his voice rose slightly.

Facing Qian Anning's questioning, Chen Yi did not react much, and asked lazily: "Why do you want me to give an explanation?"

No one could fail to see his contempt. As the Lord of the Sword House, Qian An Ning was not angry, but chuckled and said, "It's not that I want Qian Hu to give an explanation, but all the heroes present here want Qian Hu to give an explanation. Everyone is a dragon and a tiger, weighing good and evil, and everyone is righteous and heroic, but Qian Hu Chen really can't convince everyone here."

After that, he paused and changed the subject:

"But after all, I am not the owner of this place, and I cannot drive away guests on behalf of the Heavenly Master. It's just that from now on, all the heroes will agree on the rules of the righteous martial arts world and define the boundaries of the martial arts world. Since Captain Chen does not deny that he is too controversial, I hope you will keep silent at that time."

The heroes of the martial arts world came from far and wide to attend the Heroes' Gathering, of course not just to work hard for Mount Longhu. Since all the righteous figures have gathered together, they might as well use the Taoist ancestral temple as an endorsement and set some new rules for the righteous martial arts world. In fact, there were many rumors before going to Mount Longhu, but Chen Yi felt that it had nothing to do with him and didn't care at all.

If Qian An Ning can really intimidate Chen Yi, she will have a lot of say when the rules are set.

Everyone in the Qilin Hall looked at the two of them, everyone could see that they were taking advantage of the situation, but no one rebuked them for the moment. Among all the heroes, Chen Yi was the most controversial, and his merits were the most incredible. He "sacrificed his life to mend the sky, to save the world and to help the people", and the sky was still there and hadn't fallen. This scene at the Heroes' Conference was like making the biggest cheat at the most expensive gambling table.

Chen Yi raised his head and smiled strangely, "Are you using me to establish your authority?"

Qian Anning said: "It's just a matter of fact."

As the tense atmosphere spread, the crowd in the hall became noisy and talked among themselves.

At this time, a rough voice interrupted and said, "Master Qian, is there any misunderstanding here? Speaking of notoriety, who among you has a good reputation in the court? Everyone knows what the government is like.

As far as I know, Captain Chen is a brave man who is eager to help others and I have also received his kindness. We are both heroes, so why should we hurt each other's feelings here?"

The voice was familiar, it was He Taixiong who was speaking.

After he finished speaking, the old Heavenly Master also took two steps forward and said, "You all came here to weigh good and evil, and you are all heroes. The Heavenly Official was invited by Longhu Mountain. Even if there is a mistake in this matter, it is the fault of Longhu Mountain, and cannot be blamed on Captain Chen..."

"It's strange." Chen Yi said suddenly.

The old Taoist priest stopped talking, and a hint of joy flashed across Qian An Ning's face, but he quickly suppressed it.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "We are all people of the martial arts world who speak with our fists. How are you?"

Qian An Ning said: "Okay, let's not beat around the bush. The affairs of the martial arts world are the martial arts world. Master of the Huangzhu Sword Palace, please give me some advice!"

"Go ahead, come on."

Chen Yi sat on the chair holding the tea bowl, sip it slowly, and blew on it as if he was afraid of getting too hot.

After he finished speaking, Qian An Ning waited for a while, and seeing that he was still sitting on the chair motionless, he narrowed his eyes and attacked boldly.

People in the underworld fight for reputation and courage. The brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. Putting aside the empty etiquette, the faster you act to gain the upper hand, the more likely you are to survive.

When Qian An Ning made his move, the fire in the Qilin Hall suddenly dimmed by three points.

The Huangzhu Sword House naturally uses bamboo swords.

The bamboo sword was only three feet and seven inches long, but when it was unsheathed, it caused a vibration like a dragon's roar, like thunderclapping out of the blue.

However, when the sword really came, it broke through the air without any sound, and only when the tip of the sword was three inches away from the throat did the sound of silk tearing be heard. The moment Chen Yi leaned back, the sandalwood chair back exploded with a "crack" of wooden thorns, and he spun around and leaped, with the unsheathed Hou Kang sword already emitting a black light.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal hitting stone made the dust on the beams fall. Qian Anning shook his wrist lightly, and the bamboo sword wrapped around the heavy sword like a spirit snake, and the nine bamboo patterns flickered. Chen Yi only felt the nine layers of continuous power coming from the sword body, one wave higher than the other, shaking his palm numb.

Chen Yi swung his sword with force to break Qian An Ning's clever move, but Qian An Ning was like a bamboo leaf in the wind. His green robe fluttered and he moved to the left, with the tip of the sword stabbing at his ribs.

The sword was so fast that it was unbelievable. Half of the people in the hall did not see clearly how he changed his moves.

It was too late to defend, Chen Yi did not dodge or give way, his left palm slashed at the sword like a knife. Qian An Ning's brows moved slightly, and the bamboo sword suddenly retracted its head like a turtle, and the sword tip turned around and slashed towards the wrist.

The attack missed, and a fierce light flashed in Chen Yi's eyes. The long sword suddenly flew out of his hand and hit Qian An Ning in the face.

The force of this throw was like thunder, and Qian An Ning had to draw his sword to block it. In the blink of an eye, Chen Yi had already approached and drew his sword to strike.

"Well done!"

Qian An Ning let out a long roar, and the bamboo sword in his palm spun like a wheel. The green and yellow sword shadows formed a net between heaven and earth, and every sword energy was accompanied by the sound of bamboo joints exploding.

Chen Yi's sword hit the sword net, making a sound of metal clashing. As the two figures crossed, dozens of sword marks appeared on the blue bricks on the ground.

Suddenly Qian An Ning's sword changed its momentum, like a spring river tide rolling in. This move "Xiaoxiang Night Rain" is the best at overcoming hardness with softness. The sword light is like a rain curtain, no matter how strong your skin is, three inches of it will be cut off.

Chen Yi's robe instantly burst into several tears, and his figure suddenly flashed, flashing through the rain-like sword light.

"It's my turn!"

Chen Yi suddenly reached out and grabbed the flying sword. The sword tip swept across the ground, splashing sparks. With a swing of the sword, sword shadows flew all over the sky like a gust of wind, causing Qian An Ning's golden hair ring to break.

There is no way to avoid the sword shadows in the sky, the only way is to respond with sword.

Qian An Ning's eyes were shining brightly as her black hair was disheveled. She seized the opportunity and suddenly changed the bamboo sword from vertical to horizontal, and used the spine of the sword to hit the side of the long sword.

"Om-"

With a strange tremor, Chen Yi's sword unexpectedly deviated to the right uncontrollably. After Qian An Ning dodged the sword, the green light of the bamboo sword went straight for the throat.

Chen Yi shouted, and the sword energy in his hand rose and vibrated. The moment Qian An Ning dodged sideways, the long sword had already chopped down like a mountain. The moment the bamboo sword and the heavy sword collided, the blue bricks under Qian An Ning's feet shattered.

The two men were deadlocked for a short while, Qian An Ning suddenly pulled back, and the bamboo sword drew a semicircle on the ground. Chen Yi was unable to stop and stumbled forward, but saw Qian An Ning turn around and win the game, with the sword tip whistling through the air.

Life and death are only a moment away.
The moment they passed each other, the sword energy brushed past Qian An Ning's hair, and the long sword penetrated three inches into the flesh and could not go any further, while his bamboo sword had already reached Chen Yi's throat.

"呲-"

Blood splattered, Chen Yi looked up to the sky and stepped back, leaning against the wall for support, Qian Anning staggered to his knees,

"Concession."

Qian Anning slowly stood up, bowed gracefully, and raised his head to see Chen Yi's face as cold as iron, and finally there was a trace of surprise and horror in his eyes. This desperate fight finally came to an end.

He didn't know what the heroes thought and how shocked they were... He had already imagined the whole place screaming in horror.

Qian An Ning still bowed, but he waited for a long time without hearing the scream of horror in the hall. He looked around in confusion, and then he was shocked to find that the scene in front of him suddenly melted like oil paint. He stood still, slowly moving his head back, his pupils constricted!

"Go ahead, come on."

Chen Yi, who had just been defeated, was still sitting upright on the chair, holding the tea bowl and enjoying the breeze.

Didn’t I win just now... Qian An Ning suddenly felt a chill down his spine and subconsciously reached for the bamboo sword at his waist, but pulled his hand back violently as if he had been electrocuted.

There is a trace of sword intent there...

"Why don't you take action?" Chen Yi asked with a smile.

Qian An Ning froze in place. The clashing of swords and the splashing of fire that happened just moments ago seemed like a dream that shattered at the touch of a finger.

What happened just now was just a trace of sword intent from beginning to end...

He was no longer able to speak. Looking at Chen Yi who was still sitting upright, he took two trembling steps back and fell to the ground dejectedly.

"This, this, Palace Master Qian lost?!"

at this time,

The scream of horror that Qian An Ning had been waiting for for a long time finally rang out in the hall.

.........

Everyone in the room was stunned. No one knew what had happened, and no one could understand why Qian An Ning just fell down like that.

It was a fight that ended in the blink of an eye without anyone even knowing it.

Chen Yi put down the tea bowl and slowly stood up. At this moment, the whole room suddenly fell silent, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"I won't get involved in any of you setting the rules of the underworld, but if anyone wants to use me to establish his authority...

Chen Yi glanced at everyone and said calmly:
"Then I am the rule."

After waiting for a long time, when Chen Yi sat down again, the whole room was still silent, and no one responded.

It seems to be the default.

………….
Others didn't understand it, but the knowledgeable old master still figured out the trick.

Chen Yi’s sword intent is very... weird. The old Taoist priest has lived for so long, but he can’t find any other words to describe it except this one.

It was like a sword that could kill people, but it also had the flavor of a sword that could kill people. It could decide life and death in a single thought. When they just started fighting, it instantly enveloped Qian An Ning in a small world...

The moment he noticed the clue, the old master knew who would win and who would lose.

The Lord of the Huangzhu Sword Mansion is undoubtedly a young hero, full of vigor and ambition. He wants to make a big splash in this heroes' club. His enthusiasm for progress is a good thing, but he is also extremely utilitarian.

It was this lapse in his mental defense that made him unable to hide in the world of sword intent and he suffered an extremely miserable defeat.

Qian An Ning didn't know the full extent of the situation and wanted to use Chen Yi to establish his authority, but Chen Yi used him to establish his authority instead.

Qian An Ning, who had fallen to the ground, did not move to get up. His eyes were blank and he was mumbling something. Immediately, someone stepped forward quickly and brought him back to his original position.

Glancing at the man accompanying Qian Anning, the old master had a better impression of him. Five or six years ago, this man with a knife followed his master to pay homage to Mount Longhu. At that time, he was like a mad grass in the mud. He remembered that he was born in a butcher's family. He lost his father at the age of seven and secretly learned to chop bones at the dock. At the age of twelve, he stabbed the throat of the leader of the Cao Gang with a hatchet. At the age of fifteen, he got half a volume of knife manuals, taught himself, and integrated the butcher's techniques. At the age of nineteen, he was accepted as an apprentice by a master of knife skills. Half a year later, his master's sect was destroyed. He had a scar on his left face when he broke through the siege with a corpse. He endured humiliation for three years to avenge his master, but he could not survive two rounds of the enemy who killed his master. The latter spared his life because he was a grateful person.

The most surprising thing is that he did not just disappear into the crowd, but knelt down on the spot to become the disciple. After being rejected, he stayed at the Modao Cliff, practicing with his sword facing the waterfall. His hatchet broke, and the sword energy shattered the waterfall. As he wished, he was accepted as the disciple by the enemy who killed his master.

This man's name is Zhao Hong, and his master is Yang Yuankui, who is ranked eighth in the world today.

After many years of absence, Zhao Hong has lost the fearlessness of a newborn calf when he first joined Longhu, and has become calm and reserved, but the wild and rebellious aura remains unchanged.

The hall remained silent for a long time before some rustling sounds were heard. At this moment, no one dared to question Chen Yi going up the mountain. The old Taoist priest also cleared his throat and took a few steps forward to smooth things over, thus ending this episode.

Chen Yi, who was at the center of the previous turmoil, withdrew peacefully and continued to focus on participation.

He found many conversations in the hall boring. As for setting rules, there are already established rules in the martial arts world. How much can they be set? In the end, apart from a few additions, it all turned into negotiations between the various sects. These intrigues have never been interesting. What's more, Chen Yi has always been like a person without a sect or school. He is not bound by rules and does not act according to them.

What he cared more about was how Longhu Mountain would deal with those immortals who were infected with madness.

After the rules were set and everyone had a cup of tea, the old Taoist priest stood up and spoke again.
"I have summoned you all here today, but you have been neglectful.

But I have an urgent request in Longhu Mountain, and it requires the best heroes in the world to be able to do it."

............... ..
The Qilin Hall was filled with an uproar of voices, and even before the heroes left their seats, people were still talking about it. The old Heavenly Master's request was truly earth-shattering.

Chen Yi, who had expected this, remained calm. No matter how earnestly the old Taoist spoke, he did not make any statement. The most important matter discussed in the hall was exactly the same as what he had thought beforehand.

The Heroes' Association of Mount Longhu is important in dealing with the White Lotus Sect, but it is just a cover. The more important thing is the mad immortal in the sky.

Zhou Yitang had said before that the retribution for killing an immortal is different if he comes from heaven or earth. If a human kills an immortal, no matter how great the retribution is, it will not transcend that "one". However, no matter how small the retribution is, it will still be like a mountain pressing down on a mortal.

The reason why Longhu Mountain invited the Heavenly Official to weigh good and evil was to select a group of heroes with great merits so that their merits could offset this cause and effect and minimize the harm.

The whole plan is impeccable. Even if Chen Yi were to do it, it would be basically the same.

However, what puzzled Chen Yi was that this good thing, which benefited both the Heavenly Court and the dragons and tigers, was sneered at by the Fox Fairy Queen, a veteran of Longhu Mountain.

Chen Yi couldn't understand the reason, so he didn't want to get involved.

Since it was a short break during the intermission to allow the heroes to think carefully, Chen Yi did not stay in the hall for long and got up and left.

As soon as his foot turned out of the screen in front of the corridor, a figure walked towards him naturally from the opposite side, and Chen Yi stopped.

The old Taoist priest bowed his head and said, "Captain Chen, there are some things I think we should talk about in private."

Chen Yi curled the corners of his mouth slightly and narrowed his eyes.

coming.

The merit that can make the celestial officials kneel down is just a strange story that makes people marvel at it, but in the sky, it is a piece of meat in the eyes of wolves.
