Embers of Sword

Chapter 136: Master Xie Xuanyi

"Who did you say your master is?"

"Master, thank you Xuanyi!"

"Say it again?"

"Master, thank you Xuanyi!"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the little guy with his head held high in front of him, not knowing what to say. He rubbed his eyebrows and fell into thought.

After Yuzhuzhen woke up, Shenhai occasionally felt pain.

Maybe some memory is lost.

But... no matter how much was lost, it would not be possible to have such a disciple for no reason.

He really has no impression of this little guy.

"May I have your name?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke with a complicated expression.

"Duan, single name Zhao, courtesy name Changchuan!"

The young man's voice was still sonorous and powerful. He drew his heavy sword and prepared to strike again.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Xie Xuanyi quickly waved his hand, signaling to stop.

Duan Zhao was more martial than he thought, and he actually obediently loosened his grip on the heavy sword.

"Duan Zhao..."

Xie Xuanyi was very sure that he had never known this young man.

Xie Xuanyi frowned and asked, "You said you are Xie Xuanyi's disciple, where is the evidence?"

"evidence……"

The young man kicked the heavy sword in front of him and said seriously, "This is it."

"???"

"This heavy sword technique comes from the sword manual left by Xie Xuanyi. I practiced hard day and night... The moves I just fought with you were all from this manual." The young man said very seriously: "Although I didn't beat you, it's not because my master's moves are not good, but my problem. I don't have enough talent."

Xie Xuanyi, who is usually calm, is not calm this time.

Is this sword technique worthy of being called sword technique?

The heavy sword has no edge, but this kid's attack is shrouded in an extremely strong aura of the Great Dao...but Xie Xuanyi can't see any trace of his swordsmanship.

This is exactly the routine of a martial artist, just do whatever you want, no matter how reckless you are.

But don't tell me.

This kid named Duan has a diamond physique. Even if he gets beaten up, he is no match for an ordinary cave god.

"You kid, you're practicing wrong."

Xie Xuanyi said unhappily: "How can Xie Xuanyi's swordsmanship be so reckless?"

"What did you say!"

The young man's hair stood on end in anger, and he rushed forward again, pulling his heavy sword.

This time, Xie Xuanyi did not take action to push it back. Instead, he reached out and picked up the dead branch that had previously broken the formation. With the tip of the branch, he gently pointed to the point where the heavy sword's sword intent was concentrated!
A crisp sound of the pendant!
The sword wind of the heavy sword was torn apart, and the veins on the boy's forehead bulged, wanting to defeat the opponent with one force.

But Xie Xuanyi easily pressed down the heavy sword with just a branch!
"Here."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "See? You're acting like a warrior now. It would be better if you throw away your sword and just use your fists."

The young man was as stubborn as a bull, with his feet firmly planted on the ground, trying with all his might to lift the heavy sword.

But that dead branch is like a jack.

It seems like a feather.

Actually, it is Mount Tai.

He was pressed down like this, and neither he nor his sword could move!

But even so.

The young man still gritted his teeth and refused to drop the sword.

"He has a stubborn temper, but he still has some backbone."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and asked, "Who taught you the sword manual?"

“…My father!”

The young man raised his head and said through gritted teeth, "This has nothing to do with swordsmanship. I must be practicing incorrectly!"

"is it possible……"

Xie Xuanyi sighed softly and said slowly: "Actually, you were deceived?"

The boy was suddenly stunned.

"I think this 'sword technique' is very profound and indeed has a lot of artistic conception, but it looks more like an improved version of the boxing manual."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "Let me guess, your father should be a boxer, right? If I'm not mistaken, he should be proficient in all kinds of weapons... but not so good at swordsmanship. In order to fool you, he could only combine his boxing skills into a 'heavy sword manual'. This sword manual is a hodgepodge, mixed with a lot of dregs from other weapons."

These words came out.

The young man was stunned for a moment.

"Guessed it right?" Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.

"Bah, bullshit!"

The young man came to his senses and said righteously: "What right do you have to say that the sword manual I practiced is fake? I asked for sword skills all the way to the Dasui Sword Palace, and no one could beat me!"

Xie Xuanyi's eyes were somewhat complicated.

Is that because you are good at swordsmanship?
You are a sixteen-year-old boy with a golden body. Who can beat you?

"Don't you know that your 'respected master' doesn't actually practice heavy swordsmanship?"

Xie Xuanyi sighed: "Even if he really left a sword manual, why would he leave the heavy sword manual? Did he give you this sword manual in person?"

"..."

The young man was speechless after hearing this.

After a while.

He raised his head again and said viciously: "My father would never lie to me!"

This is what Xie Xuanyi was waiting for: "Who is your father?"

"My dad..."

The young man opened his mouth to give his name, but swallowed it back the next moment and said cautiously: "My mother said that I can't introduce myself casually when I go out."

Xie Xuanyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He threw away the dead tree branch and waved his sleeves: "Forget it... I'm not really interested. Let's stop here tonight. I'm tired."

Say it.

He was about to turn around and go back home.

"Etc., etc--"

The young man glared and quickly dragged his heavy sword to block Xie Xuanyi: "The fight isn't over yet!"

"You think the fight isn't over yet?"

Xie Xuanyi laughed sarcastically, "The fight was over a long time ago. It was over when you made your first strike."

The young man stood there in a daze, looking at "Xie Zhen" who was only one year older than him.

Do not know why.

He always felt that there was a faint smile in the other person's eyes.

It seems to contain decades of wind and frost.

In comparison, my eyes were as clear as a stream.

"Think carefully about the scene when you made your first strike." Xie Xuanyi said calmly, "If I held a stick and went towards the key point, how would you respond?"

Duan Zhao looked confused, as if he understood but not quite.

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and suddenly said coldly: "Draw your sword!"

These words, carrying with them a fierce murderous intent, instantly turned into a cold wind and rushed into the skin of the young man in the Golden Body Realm. After years of training on Wangyou Island and being personally taught by the father of the Yangshen Warrior, Duan Zhao's reaction to the murderous intent had already been engraved into his bones!
He almost subconsciously grabbed the heavy sword and slapped it towards Xie Xuanyi!

This is the Shuangfeng Guan'er in the boxing manual.

next moment.

Xie Xuanyi raised his hand, put two fingers together, and gently pointed forward!
Snap!
The young man flew backwards and sat down under the old tree. He looked pale and his breathing was rapid.

Looking down, he saw a white mark of sword energy from fingertips left on his chest.

the most important is--

The heavy sword that he had held tightly in his palm from beginning to end flew out of his hand uncontrollably this time, spun dozens of times in the air, fell, and stabbed heavily into the ground!
"珰!"

The sound of the heavy sword lingering and echoing on the lawn of Lotus Peak.

The boy stared at the heavy sword.

The flash of lightning that had just flashed through my mind was replaying in my mind.

It was not until this moment that he realized that Xie Zhen was right.

This fight was over long ago.

It's just that the other party was concerned about his own face, so he never used his full strength.

"If you want to understand the truth, then understand it alone and quietly."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "I want to rest."

Bang.

The door of the mansion closed.

The young man was left alone, staring at the heavy sword in a daze.

……

……

"It's quite lively tonight."

As soon as the door of the mansion closed.

Xie Xuanyi saw the little girl in the wheelchair admiring the flowers in the courtyard.

As soon as this tone opened his mouth.

He knew that the main spirit had "briefly" seized control of this body.

"I suggest you go back to sleep."

After going back and forth all night and receiving several groups of "guests", Xie Xuanyi no longer had the energy to play around with Jiang Huang.

The murderous intent of the Nine Deaths Forbidden was temporarily neutralized by the Immortal Fountain.

The main spirit escaped by luck.

But the current situation is still not optimistic.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you any trouble."

Jiang Huang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, raised her little face and said calmly, "I know clearly what is important. You saved my life... No matter what, I shouldn't cause you trouble at this moment."

Hearing these words was beyond Xie Xuanyi's expectations.

He squinted at the little girl in front of him and reached out to feel the temperature of her forehead with the back of his hand.

Hey, why is it so hot?
Wait…this little guy is a Phoenix.

That's fine.

"What ordinary humans call 'high temperature' is nothing to me."

Jiang Huang said calmly: "Don't think too much. I said these things tonight not because I was hot-headed or confused. I just want to make some things clear to you in advance."

"Congratulations... Although the Nine Deaths Fate hasn't been cured, your 'disease' has improved a lot."

Xie Xuanyi stretched out his finger and pointed at his temple.

"Ah."

Faced with such sarcasm, Jiang Huang sneered and was not angry.

"Although the headmaster of Chunyang Sect is in seclusion, the sword energy decree is still hanging high. The masters of several main peaks have the ability to monitor the Sword Palace."

Xie Xuanyi raised his head and said leisurely, "Don't forget that there is still a Yang God in Dasui Sword Palace. Although this mansion is full of talismans, I am not sure whether the chief lawyer will send a ray of divine thought to ask about my recent situation."

"Zhao Tongtian is a righteous man, he would not do such a thing. If he wants to come and see you, even if he only sends his divine thoughts, it will definitely be grand and majestic."

Jiang Huang said calmly: "Facing a person like him, it's useless for me to hide... Yang Shen wants to kill me, is there any way I can escape?"

"That's true."

Xie Xuanyi smiled: "You are quite open-minded."

"…Life and death are determined by fate. I have indeed let it go."

Jiang Huang was acting particularly abnormal tonight.

Xie Xuanyi put away his smile.

He noticed that there seemed to be a thin layer of mist between the eyebrows of the little girl in the wheelchair.

The vitality contained in the half drop of the Immortal Fountain that he had donated was concentrated there.

"Xie Xuanyi, thank you for what happened last night."

Jiang Huang was silent for a long time, and finally spoke with difficulty. She raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of the young man in front of her.

Have to admit.

Haven't seen you for over ten years.

The old friend became much stranger, but also a little more pleasing to the eye.

Xie Xuanyi frowned: "What do you want to say?"

"…In order to fight against the Nine Deaths, I gave birth to a second soul."

Jiang Huang gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice: "You should know that the birth of this soul has nothing to do with anyone. It is just to fight against the Nine Death Forbidden, that's all."

"So?" Xie Xuanyi asked.

"It's just that I met you. This second soul was given an unexpected 'personality'."

Jiang Huang hardened his heart and said through gritted teeth: "I know that the reason you saved me before was simply because of this second divine soul... I don't want to accept your favor for nothing. If you feel regretful, you can take back the 'Immortal Fountain' at any time!"

There was silence in the courtyard for a moment.

"So... you went through so much trouble, even going so far as to allow the Lord's Spirit to appear, just to tell me this?"

Xie Xuanyi sighed.

He stretched out two fingers and placed them on Jiang Huang's forehead.

"Buzzing—"

A very light wind sound spread between the two of them.

Jiang Huang's eyes were a little blurry. She felt that the chill in her heart that had receded suddenly intensified at this moment.

The whole person couldn't help but shudder.

The little girl gritted her teeth and nodded seriously.

Xie Xuanyi laughed.

Where the fingertips were suspended, the mist on Jiang Huang's forehead slowly surged, as if it felt the call of its master. Wisps of mist swept out in front of his forehead, and the outline of half a broken water droplet could be vaguely seen in the mist.

Xie Xuanyi asked thoughtfully, "Do you want me to take back the Immortal Fountain?"

……

……

(There will be another update tonight, those who can’t wait can go to bed first.)
