Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 111 A plan within a plan

The cold light flashed in front of Shi Yanwen. Shi Yanwen quickly raised his head and dodged the sword in a rather embarrassing way.

Before he could say anything, another sword slashed at him. He didn't care about anything else and rolled away.

How could Dugu Feng let him get away? The cold light in his hand chased after him like a poisonous snake.

The sword light covered all the major acupoints on Shi Yanwen's body, and Shi Yanwen had to use his palms to parry. After a few moves, his palms were covered in blood.

"I give up... I give up..." Shi Yanwen shouted after finally rolling out of the battle circle.

"..."

Dugu Feng looked at his bloody hands. It was because Shi Yanwen had tried to block Dugu Feng's sword with his bare palms in order to prevent it from cutting his clothes.

Even so, Dugu Feng had to restrain himself, otherwise the sword would have turned around and chopped off Shi Yanwen's hands.

As soon as she started to move, she realized that although Shi Yanwen had some martial arts skills, they were just mediocre. He could only deal with local thugs, but he was far from being able to face her!

"Oh! Thank you Miss Dugu for showing mercy! I have gained a lot today from the competition with the world-famous Dugu Feng, whose sword energy and cold light can shake ten states!" Shi Yanwen was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he shamelessly flattered Dugu Feng.

What about the world-renowned reputation and the sword's cold light shaking the ten states? How could there be such an awkward nickname?

Dugu Feng looked at Shi Yanwen speechlessly as he spoke. Is this what a scholar is?

How shameless!
This is probably how the so-called great scholar-hero of Yunzhou came about, right?

Li Xiuning, who was watching the fight from the side, was also stunned when she saw the two fighting. She did not expect that Shi Yanwen, who had been so confident and ruthless in the past few days, was just a show-off.

It’s all pretend!
"Thank you! Thank you!" Dugu Feng said helplessly to Shi Yanwen who was bragging about her crazily.

"Miss Dugu is very sharp and capable, with many changes. It's obvious that she learned from a famous master. No wonder when she swung her sword, a sword energy shook the ten states." Shi Yanwen was still chattering:

"In my hometown, I'm afraid only Qiu Shui Fu Ping Ren Piao Miao can compare with him!"

If you praise your opponent, you won't lose face when you lose to him.

It’s not that I’m too weak, but that the enemy is too strong.

"..." Dugu Feng looked at Li Xiuning, and Li Xiuning looked at Dugu Feng. The two of them didn't know what to say when they met such a shameless middle-aged man.

"Ahem..." Li Xiuning interrupted Shi Yanwen's boasting: "Sir, you should bandage your hands first!"

What is Qiu Shui Fu Ping Ren Piao Miao? What a cool name. It can’t be the same as you, the great scholar hero of Yunzhou, right?

The cooler the nickname, the weaker the ability!

She finally understood why she had never heard of Cangyun Prefecture.

Cangyun Prefecture must be a remote place, unknown to the public. The people there are just like Shi Yanwen, arrogant and conceited.

"It's okay!" Shi Yanwen said as he looked at his bloody palms, "These are all traces of a man's battle. The scars will heal in no time."

"..."

Dugu Feng put away his sword, took Li Xiuning's hand, and whispered in a low voice, "Is this person...brain..."

Li Xiuning gave her an innocent look, she didn't know either!

After the martial arts meeting ended, Shi Yanwen continued to work. Dugu Feng talked to Li Xiuning for a while before leaving the Tax Administration Department.

Soon, the details of the competition spread throughout Chang'an. As the sky gradually darkened, the people from the Tax Administration Department left one after another, and Shi Yanwen also left the Tax Administration Department.

He came from another place, and Li Yuan arranged a small house for him near the Tax Administration Office.

The house is not big, just a small courtyard and three rooms.

Shi Yanwen arrived at the door of his house and was about to push it open when suddenly a flash of a knife appeared from behind the door.

How could there be someone in my house?
While Shi Yanwen was hesitating, the knife had already slashed over. Following the knife light, several black killers appeared from nowhere.

In an instant, Shi Yanwen was in danger!

What a good Shi Yanwen! He slapped the people around him several times and knocked the killers away.

"Heh... I knew someone was coming to kill me!" Shi Yanwen sneered and said, "I'm really surprised that you guys could tolerate me for so many days!"

During the day, he naturally hides his skills!

Several killers got up from the ground, looked at each other, and then rushed towards Shi Yanwen.

Shi Yanwen was not afraid at all. His hands were quite methodical and he fought with several killers in a difficult situation. He was completely different from his miserable appearance during the day!

In the distance, Zhu Yuyan, Wanwan, Zhao Deyan and others were on a high place, watching Shi Yanwen fighting with the killer.

"He thought that he could hide his incompetence from Dugu Feng by hiding his abilities from her during the day, but could he hide it from us? That's ridiculous..." Zhu Yuyan sneered.

Being able to dodge Dugu Feng's sword means he must be at least a top-notch fighter, and he was assigned by Li Yuan. Anyone who is not a fool would know that Shi Yanwen would never be as embarrassed as he was when he competed with Dugu Feng.

"Master! Then Wanwan will kill him." The beautiful Wanwan on the side said with a smile.

It was too easy for her to kill someone with such skills.

"No!" Zhu Yuyan said cautiously: "Let me do it myself! I will do it myself, and you will support me to prevent any unexpected changes."

She felt a vague sense of uneasiness rising in her heart, but she didn't know where it came from.

So, she blended into the darkness and came silently behind Shi Yanwen like a ghost.

Shi Yanwen was beating up the assassins, mocking them as he beat them: "Little assassins, how ridiculous! I want you to know that I am the great scholar-knight of Yunzhou and I don't get the title for nothing!"

Just as he was mocking, a jade hand reached out from the darkness and pressed on his back.

Shi Yanwen was hit by the palm without noticing it!
Zhu Yuyan is the leader of the Yingui Sect, and has practiced the "Heavenly Demon Method" of the Yingui Sect to the seventeenth level. The "Heavenly Demon Method" originated from the magic sect's strange book "Heavenly Demon Strategy". Its practice focuses on the twelve meridians, starting from Taiyin and ending at Jueyin. The Ren and Du meridians are the main channels of faith, and they repeat over and over again, like a circle with no end.

It was with the help of "The Great Demonic Spell" that Zhu Yuyan became the top master of the Demon Sect.

Now, she, the number one master of the Demon Sect, has attacked Shi Yanwen by surprise. The vicious and cruel demonic energy has flowed through her jade hands into Shi Yanwen's body. Does Shi Yanwen still have a chance to survive?
Of course there is, because he is the great scholar and hero of Yunzhou, Shi Yanwen!

A mighty stream of pure Yang energy suddenly burst out from Shi Yanwen, shocking Zhu Yuyan who was attacking him.

She felt that the true energy in Shi Yanwen's body was pure yang with no yin, just like the sun. With the help of her sneak attack, the pure yang true energy rushed into her body!

The seventeenth level of "The Great Demonic Law" can't stop it at all!
With a cry of "Wow", she couldn't help spitting blood and stepped back.

"Memories are confusing and there were so many killings. How can I deal with the grudges for the past? I write black poems on silk with infinite hatred. It's all in vain to get up early and sleep late!" Shi Yanwen turned around and looked at Zhu Yuyan.

"I'm Shi Yanwen, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
