If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 49 Xiaoyu's Dilemma: I'm Too Strong
"General Guan, look, we have arrived at Feixian Ferry!"

Captain Zhang pointed to the tall signboard in front of him and shouted happily, "Turn the corner and there is a 'Yunlai Inn' in less than 200 steps.

Merchants and travelers coming and going would all stay overnight at the inn.

The place is spacious.

Even if we have more than 500 brothers, we can accommodate them all."

Xiaoyu first looked up at the building sign in front of him. It was about three meters high and four or five meters wide. The wooden frame was covered with mottled red paint. It was an old object, but it looked very solid and impressive.

There is a plaque hanging on the top of the building, with the three big characters "Feixiandu" written in seal script.

"When I set out from Luodu, I passed by here as well, but I didn't stop here. I rode past on horseback at that time, but now that I have a closer look, I realize that this ferry is truly a natural barrier." Hu Chen looked around and said slowly.

The road they were on was relatively spacious, but to the south of the road was a rushing river, and to the north of the road were low but steep mountains.

The river is only two or three hundred meters wide, but the river bank is a cliff and extremely deep.

Standing on the roadside and looking down, you can hardly see the water surface, which is about 700 to 800 meters deep. The river converges here, and the water flows very fast. The surging river splashes on the cliffs on both sides, creating rumbling white water splashes and a hazy fog.

Xiaoyu has lived by the Liusha River since she was a child and is used to seeing wind and waves, but this is the first time she has seen a large inland freshwater river.

When she first reached the river, she was still interested in enjoying the scenery, but as she walked further, the cliff became deeper, the river became narrower, and there was a loud rumbling sound like thunder below, so she was a little afraid to get closer.

It's not that she doesn't have courage.

She was riding a horse now, and if the horse stumbled and slipped,
"General, you are right. Feixian Ferry is the most dangerous pass in our Great Shu after Hengsha Pass. Behind Feixian Ferry is the 'Hualong Pass'." After finally arriving at the destination, Captain Zhang was in a good mood and had a smile on his face when he spoke.

"With such a dangerous terrain, have the rebels from the thirty-six countries ever taken a detour around it?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

Captain Zhang's smile froze. "Hengsha Pass and Hualong Pass are both extremely dangerous places. The soldiers guarding the passes are all elite and are willing to sacrifice their lives. However, there are immortals in the world."

The big river below Feixiandu is called "Hualong River".

Xiaoyu hadn't seen other sections of the Hualong River. As she walked along, the river between the two mountain walls became narrower and narrower, from four or five hundred meters wide to less than two hundred meters at the Feixian Ferry.

Two steel chains as thick as a bowl were placed across the cliff, and together with "thin iron chains" as thick as a cup, a ten-foot-wide iron chain and wooden plank bridge was built.

Xiaoyu strolled around the bridge.

The iron chain bridge looks very rough. The iron chains at both ends are nailed into the mountain wall with a thick and long iron rod, like the fingers of gods digging tightly into the rocks.

It is very strong and stable, giving people a sense of security.

A caravan drove seven or eight horse-drawn carriages, carrying more than ten tons of goods, directly into the bridge. The wooden boards on the bridge deck clanged, but the bridge body barely shook, as if walking on flat ground.

Standing in the middle of the bridge and looking down, it feels like you are in the clouds, a thousand meters above the river surface.

The mighty river is like a dark blue dragon, and the view is like looking down from the sky.

Xiaoyu began to understand the origin of the name "Yunlai Inn".

The traveler walked across the bridge as if he had walked out of the clouds.

Hu Chen and his men did not cross the river.

They came from Hengsha Pass in the north, and Marquis Lieyang would arrive at the ferry from another road in the west.

"Godfather, can I go to the other side of the bridge and take a look?" Xiaoyu jumped off the horse and looked at Huchen.

Hu Chen was commanding his soldiers to build a temporary defense tower in the front yard of "Yunlai Inn".

"Don't run around, come back early." Hu Chen looked up to the west, and seeing that it was still early, he didn't stop him.

When they arrived at the "Hualong Pass" opposite, Xiao Yu finally understood why Hu Chen and the others chose to stay in the inn instead of entering the pass to wait for Marquis Lieyang.

Hualong Pass is indeed dangerous.

It was built inside the mountain next to the ferry.

The mountain peak is like a chopstick stuck in the ground. It is not too high, only about four or five hundred meters, but very steep.

A stone staircase that only one person can walk on was chiseled out on the mountain wall, spiraling upward. Halfway up the mountain, stones were dug out and a "Hualong Pass" was dug out inside the mountain.

Digging a strong pass inside a mountain is undoubtedly a huge project, but the volume of a mountain is limited and the space inside is not large.

Xiao Yu, using the identity of "General Guan's Tiger Daughter", went up to take a look around. There were less than two hundred people in total, and they had already filled the camp in the mountain.

If they were facing an army of ordinary people, two hundred people would be more than enough to guard the pass. Hualong Pass was located at a high position, and just bows and crossbows shooting from a high position would make the invaders on the opposite side despair.

Moreover, if war really breaks out, the wooden planks on the bridge will definitely have to be burned, so that if the opposing army tries to force a crossing, they will just be used as human targets.

It’s a pity that there are immortal weapons in this world.

Not to mention the real immortals who can fly and hide in the ground, if there are four or five martial arts masters like Hu Chen, wearing heavy armor and charging hard, they will most likely be able to kill all the evolved dragons in one wave.

"Brother Bing, are you a local?"

Before leaving Hualong Pass, Xiaoyu took the initiative to find a soldier with a simple face.

"I dare not, I dare not, Miss Guan, just call me 'Li Erdan'."

Li Erdan lowered his head and waved his hands in embarrassment, "I live in Lijiatun, I have a 60-year-old mother at home, my brother died in the war last year, I have two younger brothers and a younger sister.

My sister is getting married soon, and my brother is studying at a high school in the village. I..."

Xiaoyu quickly said: "I just want to ask something."

I'm not checking your household registration!

"Oh, Miss Guan, you asked." Li Erdan looked obviously relieved.

"Is there a 'Master Qin' or 'Mr. Qin' nearby?"

Xiaoyu didn't forget Huchen's advice yesterday: Don't get involved with ghosts and gods anymore, especially don't let anyone know.

She just suddenly remembered one thing. After Mr. Qin, who was riding a donkey, crossed Feixian Ferry, he got lost and missed the start of the big show.

Her mind was confused at the time, and she listened to the wild ghost talking as she pleased, without any purpose at all.

Now, I am only touched when I encounter the corresponding scenes, and vaguely recall one or two words.

Mr. Qin is a local and is used to walking on the nearby ghost roads. Although Feixiandu is a bit far from Sunjia Village, ghosts have a different sense of spatial distance than humans. It is abnormal for an old ghost who is used to walking on ghost roads to get lost.

Qin Laogui also seemed to say that he met an "enemy" and changed the road?

"Mr. Qin" Li Erdan scratched his head and thought for a while, then said, "Walk 11 or 12 miles southeast of here, there is a 'Two Surnames Village'. There is a wealthy family named Qin in the village, who deserves the title of 'Mr. Qin'."

"Did Mr. Qin's father pass away?" Xiaoyu asked again.

"Yes, that's right. Mr. Qin celebrated his 60th birthday two years ago, and his father passed away long ago." Li Erdan said.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Is the Qin family's ancestral tomb nearby?"

Li Erdan had a strange expression on his face, but he didn't dare to ask any questions. He just nodded and pointed to the southeast, saying, "That mountain belongs to the Qin family. The Qin family dining hall was built at the foot of the mountain, and an old man named Wang is guarding the body there."

Xiaoyu originally wanted to visit Mr. Qin, so that he could have a chance to tell his lies and find out the truth about the "old donkey getting lost".

But looking in the direction Li Erdan pointed, not only was it six or seven miles away from here, the mountain was also lush and green, covered with thorns and weeds, making it difficult to walk.

Even so, after returning to Yunlai Inn, Xiaoyu still found Huchen alone and told him about the anomaly of "an old ghost getting lost on a familiar road".

Hu Chen was very dissatisfied after hearing this, "Xianyou has different paths, it's not something you say casually.

People have their own ways, ghosts have their own ways, they are all different. If an old ghost gets lost, it has nothing to do with humans. "

Xiaoyu was worried that his "brow was black and he was doomed", so he was particularly concerned about the abnormalities nearby.

Now that this expert has said there is no problem, she naturally has nothing to say.

As it turned out, Hu Chen was still a little too anxious.

It was not until noon of the next day that a messenger with a "Fire Crow Flag" on his back arrived at Feixiandu and informed Hu Chen to prepare to receive Marquis Lieyang and his entourage in two days.

Hu Chen had a hard time these past two days.

Several times he almost couldn't help himself, and he rode alone, leaving the cavalry behind, and went along the northwest straight road to find Marquis Lieyang.

After all, he still had his sanity, and he was fast when traveling alone, but if he encountered an ambush by a human immortal on the road, he would be killed quickly.

He took away three hundred "burdens" from Hengsha Pass, wasn't it just for the sake of numbers and to better protect his lives?
Human immortals are very powerful, but after killing hundreds of elite cavalrymen who practice martial arts, they will still feel tired, exhausted, and even injured.

Hu Chen had a hard time, and Xiao Yu also had a hard time.

Except when she was riding and marching, she would practice "Tiger Soul Seven Killings" every day.

Practice sword skills during the day and cultivate mental skills at night.

She no longer dared to practice sword at night, fearing that she would become tired and her soul would be unstable.

Practicing the fierce tiger spirit at night can help to calm the mind and soul.

She didn't know if it was because the Tongshen Pill opened her sword bone, but her practice of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" improved by leaps and bounds.

Combined with the practice of the same heart formula, in addition to the internal energy, the heart, spirit, intention and body are almost reaching the state of great perfection and the five elements.

Especially regarding "God's will", she was 100% sure that she had surpassed Guan Huchen.

Once the sword intent (Tiger Soul Divine Will) is channeled into the sword bone, her physique will become terrifyingly strong and powerful.

Without actual combat, she didn't know how strong she was now, but "Da Mie Ba" told her clearly: she had met the conditions to suddenly kill Hu Chen.

Well, to put it simply, the "method of killing Tiger Minister" has been fully deduced by Zifu.

As long as it is deduced by Zifu, it means that this "method to kill my father" can definitely be used by her.

Once it is fully utilized, it will definitely kill my father.

Hu Chen was a famous general of Western Shu, and was considered a top master among the Western countries.

Being able to kill such a master, even with the help of "Da Mie Ba", can also show that her own strength has been greatly improved.

Improving her strength was a good thing, but she felt anxious and uncomfortable.

Because her realm in "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" was too high, the "method of destroying Tiger Minister" deduced by Zifu had nothing to do with Tiger Minister's clairvoyance.

There was no need for her to lurk in secret, hide her body and quietly approach the enemy, and kill him with one strike when he was off guard.

Now, as long as he gets up to Hu Chen and attacks him in front of him, he can behead him with one sword.

It does not rely on stealth and concealment, but the powerful "New Tiger Soul Seven Swords".

Hu Chen taught Xiao Yu the Fierce Tiger Divine Will and the Seven Killings Mysteries. Based on these experiences and secrets, "Zi Fu" directly found all the loopholes in the Seven Killings Mysteries, and in turn deduced the "Killing Tiger Divine Will" and "Killing Tiger Five Styles" that could completely restrain the Seven Killings Mysteries.

The killing tiger's divine will can overcome the evil tiger's divine will, and the five killing tiger styles can restrain the seven killing mysteries.

The reason why there are only five moves is because Hu Chen only practiced five moves out of the Seven Killing Secrets.

He has not yet mastered the last two moves, the God-Splitting Sword and the Immortal-Proud Sword.

Since he doesn't know how to do it, she naturally doesn't need to master the technique to restrain the God-Splitting Sword and the Immortal-Proud Sword.

Hu Chen mastered the "Tiger Soul Seven Kills", but he didn't know the loopholes of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills". Xiao Yu not only followed him to practice Tiger Soul Seven Kills, but also understood the flaws of Tiger Soul Seven Kills and mastered the "Tiger Killing Divine Will". As a result, in just a few days, her Divine Will realm in "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" was far beyond Hu Chen.

Fortunately, she didn't practice the breathing technique of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills", otherwise she wouldn't have to attack suddenly. She could just say "Hey, Hu Chen, come here and die" and kill him face to face.

The problem is, the most essential thing about Hu Chen is not the "Tiger Soul Seven Kills", but the Eyes of the Immortal!
Xiao Yu wants to use Zifu to unlock the mystery of the Immortal's Eye and deduce the "invisibility technique" to restrain the Immortal's Eye.

The most powerful function of the Immortal's Eye is observation. Even if you are hiding in a cave deep in the mountains, you can still see everything clearly as if you were observing the lines on the palm of your hand, even if you are thousands of miles away from home.

To restrain the Immortal's Eyes, you need to hide your body and breath.

How terrifying is the breath-concealing technique and the "invisibility technique" that can avoid the Immortal's Eyes?
It is definitely a secret technique at the immortal level.

Whether it's a secret technique or a magical skill specifically for saving lives or stealing chickens, the mere "Seven Swords to Kill the Tiger" can't compare to it at all.

But she was too strong now, so she didn't need to hide and lurk. She could just attack and kill Hu Chen immediately. Zifu stopped deducing.

"Is the Immortal's Eye going to be wasted? What a pity."
