I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 78 Only Xie An can protect you

Since Wei Dian was wearing a bamboo hat that completely obscured his face, Xie An couldn't see his expression or eyes, so he had no idea what he was thinking.

However, Xie An could clearly feel that Wei Dian was really teaching him with all his heart.

call.

Xie An cleared his mind and closed his eyes.

Every subtle movement of Wei Dian just now flashed through his mind.

Then slowly place your hand on the handle of the knife.

He did not draw his sword, but stood still like a wooden stake, carefully feeling the sword in his hand.

Feeling the grain of the handle, the coolness of the leather and cork. Imagine this knife is your third hand, your fist...

Because of the development of Qi.

Xie An's perception of his surroundings is much more refined than that of ordinary people.

As time passed, he felt the air around the blade and the slight movement of the air.

Gradually, Xie An vaguely felt that the broadsword had really become his third hand.

When a gust of majestic wind blew across the blade, Xie An felt the presence of the wind.

It's now.

Clang!

Xie An suddenly drew his sword from its sheath, making a clanging metallic sound and flashing a dazzling silver light. With a step forward, the sword lunged forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

The thrust was not fast, but Xie An's force poured into it. The force of the knife did not dissipate after the thrust.

"it is good!"

Wei Dian couldn't help but exclaim, "You've already grasped the key to the sword's power on your first try. Your first strike is quite impressive. Keep going. If you can maintain this momentum for three more strikes, you'll be considered a natural."

Xie An, who was concentrating on practicing sword, naturally could not answer, but Wei Dian's words encouraged Xie An.

call out.

After the forward stab, Xie An changed to a horizontal slash.

All the immense strength was poured into the blade, making it extremely powerful.

"Good! The second cut is also right."

Every time Wei Dian spoke, he encouraged Xie An.

The broadsword in his hand suddenly slashed down vertically towards the ground, and when the blade was an inch away from the ground, he suddenly retracted the knife, trying to do what Wei Dian had done before: first retract the knife's momentum, and then burst out an inch away.

As a result... Xie An found that he had overthought.

The knife did stop a few inches from the ground, but the force was not contained, and it continued to move forward. When it pressed down on the ground again, it only relied on the sharpness of the blade to cut a worm-like mark.

Compared to Wei Dian's operation, it doesn't seem like the same sword technique at all...

It seems that there is still a big gap compared to Wei Dian, who has been practicing swordsmanship for twenty years.

"Hahaha, it's quite good that you can do this on your first try." Wei Dian came up and patted Xie An on the shoulder, comforting him in a loud voice. Although he appeared bold on the outside, he was still a little nervous inside. Seeing Xie An's posture just now, he really thought that this guy could suppress the knife's power on his first try.

That's too perverted.

Wouldn't it make me, a master of incense who has been practicing swordsmanship for twenty years, lose face?

so far so good……

Even so, Wei Dian was still shocked by Xie An's move.

"Don't be discouraged, you have done very well. In addition, you have a strong foundation of health-preserving exercises, so you will be able to suppress the situation in a year or two." Wei Dian was in a good mood and encouraged loudly.

Xie An put away his knife and nodded in agreement. But a year or two... Xie An felt that was a bit exaggerated.

He had just clearly felt that the sense of Qi was extremely helpful in suppressing the knife. Perhaps in a month or two, he could suppress the knife's power.

"When you pressed the knife just now, some of your movements and techniques were not right. Let me explain it to you again." Wei Dian held back his cough, picked up the knife and gestured, carefully explaining to Xie An the various inappropriate points.

Then let Xie An improve it and continue practicing.

During this period, Xie An had his own ideas, which led to bigger problems after trying them out. Wei Dian explained them carefully, which benefited Xie An greatly.

Before I knew it, it was late at night and the moon was bright in the sky.

Wei Dian's health was obviously worse, and he coughed more frequently.

Xie An finally came to his senses, "Master Wei, thank you for your guidance today. You are not in good health, so go to bed early."

Wei Dian was really a little overwhelmed, so he said, "Okay. Come back tomorrow."

Xie An hesitated.

He really couldn't bear to disturb the seriously ill Wei Dian.

Wei Dian seemed to see Xie An's hesitation, so he said, "When practicing with a sword, it's important to strike while the iron is hot. Once this momentum has passed and the energy has been lost, it will be difficult to continue. I can still hold on. If you don't come, it will mean that you don't recognize me as the incense master."

Feeling the firmness in Wei Dian's voice, Xie An agreed, "Okay. Master Xiang, take care of yourself. I'll take my leave."

Wei Dian watched Xie An leave with a relieved smile on his face.

Because Xie An called him Xiangzhu for the first time. Even the word "Wei" was removed.

See Weizhi book.

Wei Dian knew that Xie An had recognized him as the incense master.

Not long after Xie An left the villa, Wei Dian could no longer hold on. He started coughing violently, and walked into the living room tremblingly, holding on to the wall, coughing up blood.

Lin Yun, who had rushed back, saw this scene and hurried over to support Wei Dian. He gently stroked his back and said with a sob, "Brother Wei, why are you doing this? You know your health is not good, but you force yourself to practice the Heavy Mountain Blade. It will only make your health deteriorate faster."

cough cough cough.

Wei Dian's coughing became more intense, but his gaze became resolute. "Lin Yun, why do you have to go on stage to take the test?"

Lin Yun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination. "This black market is the life's work of Brother Wei and me. It's also A-Bao's. A-Bao died on the road for this black market. Brother Wei has sheltered me from the rain and the wind for half his life. Now, it's my turn as his younger brother to step forward."

Eh.

Wei Dian sighed, "Everyone knows that our Blood Ridge black market is a big piece of fat meat. Zhang Hengshui coveted it before, and so did Fang Baiyu. Why is this test set to a month later? It's because Fang Baiyu's deputy Hong Lie is away and will be back in a month. Don't you understand?"

Lin Yun was shocked: "Hong Lie is the deputy hall master. Fang Baiyu would let a deputy hall master compete in our Blood Ridge black market?"

Wei Dian said, "The Baiyu Hall has three hundred disciples and a lot of business. The tributes from the major gentry alone are a considerable sum. But these are not long-term solutions. And the scale of our Xueling black market is growing. In the future, with a single order from the county government, the Xueling black market will no longer be a black market, but a commercial center spanning six towns in a radius, with a value far greater than that of the entire Baiyu Hall. We, Xueling, are the future of the Baiyu Hall.

This Blood Ridge was built from the ground up by a few of us. When I was alive, Fang Baiyu, concerned about the consequences, didn't dare openly touch the Blood Ridge black market. If I were gone, he would risk his life to seize this piece of juicy meat. Letting Hong Lie take the exam was almost a foregone conclusion.

Hong Lie is already a second-level warrior in the Flesh Realm. Five of you combined are no match for him. Do you still want to go?"

Lin Yun reviewed Hong Lie's strength in his mind, and finally laughed bitterly, "Go! As long as there's even a 20% chance of winning, I, Lin Yun, will give it a try. Otherwise... I won't be able to overcome this hurdle myself."

Wei Dian sighed, and without further persuasion, he sighed:
"I know you have a strong temper. Once you make a decision, no one can change it.

I treat Xie An like this because he has Tang Qingyun, Tang Qingfeng, and the Tang Family Castle behind him. Only he can protect you. After I leave, I hope Xie An will remember how good I was to him and save your life."

After saying that, Wei Dian suddenly laughed, "Besides, I quite like this old guy."

pat.

Lin Yun knew Wei Dian's intentions and could no longer hold back his bow, crying, "Brother Wei!"
