I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 48 It turns out I really care

"The faster the knife, the bigger the flaw."

"His swordsmanship is unique and ingenious, but this swordsmanship itself has gone astray."

"Swordsmanship itself is mutually reinforcing and counteracting. There is no such thing as an absolute one-trick pony. It just so happens that I can break his swordsmanship."

"I will only teach you one sword. Remember... use it at the critical moment."

"The Hidden Sword Technique is too advanced for you to master in a short time, but its basic version, Hidden Edge, is not difficult. With your talent, you can get started in about an hour."

This passage came from before Bai Xuan and Lin Jiaolu separated.

The subsequent battle on the horse platform was exactly what Bai Xuan had expected.

The forest deer won.

She wins on three points.

First, her realm foundation is already stronger than Qi Hong's. Her father is Lin Chongxiao, who is ranked sixth on the Earth List, and her mother is Fanyang Lu. Her bones have been better than ordinary people since she was in the womb. In addition, she started to cultivate her foundation when she was three years old. Even if they are at the same realm, there are definitely only a few who have a deeper accumulation than her.

Second, her sword is not an ordinary sword. This sword comes from a sword master of the previous dynasty. After the sword master died, it was hung on the top of Yueyang Tower for ten years. As the Yueyang Tower was burned down by war, someone forcibly took away this sword named "Lonely Woo", and it returned to the world.

The third is the advantage in swordsmanship.

Bai Wuming personally taught her swordsmanship, pointing out even the flaws and making sure everything was ready. Even if she copied him, she would definitely not lose.

The art of hidden swordsmanship is to attack from an angle that others cannot see, which is the same as the so-called "shadowless kick", which seems to be true but is not.

Hidden Edge is the beggar's version of Hidden Swordsmanship. Its principle is simpler, which is deception.

By deceiving the other person's senses, misleading him into making wrong judgments.

It's a simple truth: if people look at their phones while walking instead of looking at the stairs, they can easily sprain their ankles. Sometimes, when they feel they have almost finished walking up the stairs, they subconsciously take a big step forward, but they don't expect there is another step below, and it is easy to pull their crotch with a snap.

Because you can't see, you can't predict the landing point. If you can't predict the landing point, it's easy to use force in the wrong place.

The key point in Lin Jiaolu's victory over Qi Hong was that the Hidden Edge Technique caused Qi Hong to misjudge the landing point of the attack.

He hadn't used up most of his strength yet in his full-strength strike.

At the same time, the Solitary Woo Sword was stuck in the most vulnerable middle section of the blade.

The long sword was unable to exert force, and coupled with the burst of sword energy, the weapon was bounced back for a distance.

Most of the power of this sword was lost in the air.

It can be said that Qi Hong's loss was a pity, but it was definitely not unfair. His swordsmanship was unique and unconventional, which enabled him to win nine games in a row.

But swordsmanship is ultimately not about cultivation and foundation. Once the vital points and flaws of a skillful technique are discovered, defeat is inevitable.

……

In Fengxian Tower.

Bai Xuan was walking on the stairs, with hidden archers below and short sword and shield fighters above him.

These two life hunters are quite capable, no wonder they dare to ask for a price of one hundred taels of gold. Not only do they cooperate seamlessly, but every move they make is murderous.

When it comes to deathmatch experience, it can be said that he has a lot of experience.

Because of this, Bai Xuan had to deal with them.

For example, in the old days of online games, people would upgrade their levels like crazy. Once a character learned some cool skills, they would definitely find an opportunity to use them. This was the thinking of the players, and the same was true for people in the martial arts world. Once they learned a few good moves, they couldn't help but use them to show off, which would also form thinking inertia and behavioral inertia.

But the reason why a secret weapon is a secret weapon is that it cannot be easily shown to others.

No matter how sophisticated a move is, if it is used too casually, it will become a flaw.

Therefore, he is not afraid of those martial arts masters with relatively high strength, but he is very troubled by those enemies who have extremely solid basic skills and attack steadily and without leaving any loopholes.

At first glance, these two men are just dirtbags, crawling out of a pile of corpses. They definitely don't have a good master to guide them, nor have they had any adventures. Their main focus is practicality and basic skills, otherwise which assassin would actually come to their door with a shield to do business?
"Tsk..."

Bai Xuan was slightly shocked.

Suddenly he leaned forward and rushed towards the sword and shield assassin. The latter thought that Bai Xuan wanted to use him as a breakthrough point, so he immediately bent down and took a deep breath, intending to defend himself to the death.

But the next moment, the sword in Bai Xuan's hand flew out.

Hundred-step flying sword!

Unfortunately, he has no cultivation and can only fly thirty steps at most.

The assassin raised his shield to defend himself. With a ding, his entire right arm was numb from the shock. The round shield made of steel and wrapped in several layers of cowhide began to deform, and Jiang Chengzi was stuck in the round shield.

He wanted to draw his sword, but the strike was heavier than he expected.

What's even more deadly is that after Bai Xuan threw the sword, he jumped up and kicked the hilt of the sword with a whirlwind kick.

Pfft——!
The defensive shield was immediately pierced, and a hole appeared on the short assassin's right arm.

"Ah——!" The hunter screamed.

A shocked and angry voice came from below: "Brother!"

The arrow broke through the air and attacked from behind.

After Bai Xuan landed, he immediately slid sideways, using inertia to move quickly, and used the sword and shield assassin who had lost one hand as a meat shield, wedging himself between the two.

The other hunter didn't dare to shoot, for fear of hurting his own people.

But this brief hesitation also brought the swordsman's life to an end.

The assassin, who only had one arm left, was unable to mount any effective defense. Bai Xuan quickly snatched his weapon away, stabbed him in the left chest, and then kicked him down from the fifth floor.

The first hunter lay in the hall, struggling for a few seconds before dying. The other hunter flew into a rage and roared, "You killed my brother!"

A big man dropped his crossbow and rushed over with red eyes.

Bai Xuan threw the single-edged sword in his hand into the air, and the blade flew and hit the assassin. He aimed at the forehead. The assassin tilted his head, and the sword hit his neck. Blood gushed out, but he did not die immediately. This also made him make one last move.

"Let's die together!"

He pulled out a thin rope from his arms, and then his whole body turned into light.

boom--!
The heroic explosion swept across the fourth, fifth and sixth floors of Fengxian Building. Heat waves and shock waves scattered a large amount of debris, but in an instant the building was engulfed in flames.

Located on the edge of the third floor.

Bai Xuan hung on the beam with one hand, patted the flames on his clothes with the other hand, and exhaled a breath of foul air with a dusty face.

"These two are really dedicated..."

Letting go of his hand, Bai Xuan landed lightly on the ground.

This place happens to be at the entrance of an alley.

Countless diners rushed out of the main entrance of Fengxianlou, and many people shouted loudly and sharply for help.

The scene was chaotic, but it also made it easy to fish in troubled waters.

Bai Xuan held the sword in one hand, supported himself by the wall, and slowly walked towards the exit of the alley.

He was hit by a 'fire in the hole' head-on and was seriously injured. He had multiple scrapes on his body and a burning pain on his back and shoulders. The wounds stained his clothes a mottled bright red.

"It's amazing."

At the alley exit behind Fengxian Tower, Lu Ziyu clapped his hands, "You actually managed to survive those two life-hunters! They're the most famous life-hunters in all of Wu County."

Bai Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Have you gone back to call the parents?"

The teasing tone made Lu Ziyu clench his fingers under his sleeves, and the veins on the back of his hands were full. He sneered: "You should regret not killing me just now."

"Aren't you curious?" Bai Xuan asked, "Where did the Lin Jiaolu go?"

Lu Ziyu had a blank expression on his face: "I don't care where she goes. Anyway, she can't leave Wu County, and..."

"Do you really think you can block all the news?"

"You know nothing about the capabilities of my Fanyang Lu family." Lu Ziyu sneered.

"You can't block it." Bai Xuan shook his head lightly: "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you can make God shut up." Bai Xuan raised his hand and pointed to the sky, as if possessed by the God of Heaven: "If you don't believe me, look up. Heaven has eyes."

Lu Ziyu looked up at the sky.

The next moment, a crack appeared in the sky, and the Book of Mending the Sky emerged, welcoming the rising sun.

The Book of Patching the Sky appears, adding new writing.

In February, in Wu County, Jiangzhou, Lin Jiaolu defeated Qi Hong, a participant on the horse-riding platform, with a single strike, ending his nine-game winning streak.

[Changes in seats on the Crouching Dragon Ranking]

Lin Jiaolu enters the Crouching Dragon Ranking, ranking 232nd.

[The banana deer has just awakened, its potential is endless]

Bang-dang——!
A tile fell from Fengxian Tower and shattered onto the ground, which perfectly reflected Lu Ziyu's state of mind at the moment.

He could block the flow of information within Wu County, but he couldn't control the Book of Bu Tian... That was the Book of Bu Tian, ​​the promise of Heaven!

Even if he were an emperor in the mortal world, Heaven would not even look at him.

But in this way, the whole world will know that Lin Jiaolu has made it onto the Sleeping Dragon List.

The Langya Lin family also knew the specific location of the Linjiaolu.

Since she has been included in the Sleeping Dragon List, there will definitely be a master from the Langya Lin family who will come to take her home and settle her down.

This means that all of Lu Ziyu's plans have gone to waste.

The news had leaked out, and all his preparations had become meaningless.

"You..." Lu Ziyu stared at Bai Xuan, with a look of doubt in his eyes: "You arranged this?"

"For me, helping someone get on the Crouching Dragon Ranking isn't difficult." Bai Xuan's smile was a bit more playful. "If you think the Ningguo Mansion isn't prestigious enough for you to give in, how about adding the Langya Lin Clan?"

Just taking advantage of the situation. Who doesn't know how to use the tiger's skin?

Soon, a master from the Lin family will come to pick someone up. Most likely, he will be a close relative of Lin Jiaolu. What's more, it may be Lin Chongxiao who comes to pick someone up in person.

He is the current head of the Lin family. Lu Ziyu, a descendant of the side branch, is nothing in front of him.

What's more, if Lin Chongxiao knew what Lu Ziyu had done, then...

Thinking of this, Lu Ziyu stared at Bai Xuan, with even more murderous intent in his eyes than before.

"Foolish." Bai Xuan said calmly, "Since you know about the Lin Jiaolu List and the Heaven-Repairing Book, you should know that she has learned the whole truth, and it was you who forced her to fight for her life in the arena."

"I know." Lu Ziyu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart: "But you have repeatedly ruined my plans and preparations. I will kill you today!"

It has nothing to do with anything else, I just want to vent my anger.

He also knew that the Lin family's master had arrived and he would not be able to eat Huiyuan.

Since you have already decided to do something, it is only natural to drag one more person into the water before you die.

Bai Xuan rolled his eyes: "Where do you get the courage to fight me one on one?"

Lu Ziyu suddenly threw a cup to the ground.

The cup was smashed as a signal, and seven or eight figures flashed out from the alley. They were all assassins trained by the Lu family.

"Kill!" Lu Ziyu said in a deep voice.

Bai Xuan said: "The wind is coming!"

The wind fanned the flames, blowing down countless sparks and ashes from above, instantly filling half the alley.

In the flames, the dead soldiers' vision was blurred and their bodies were subconsciously stiff.

Bai Xuan flicked the sword with his fingers and controlled it with his mind.

The sword light danced like a butterfly flying into the flowers.

As I walked sideways, I saw three more burning bodies.

His mind was extremely exhausted and his face turned slightly pale.

"Do you have enough suicide squads?"

……

After leaving the horse-riding platform, the forest deer ran wildly all the way.

At first, she didn't know Bai Xuan's exact location.

But the burning Fengxian Tower was too conspicuous.

She only hated herself for being lazy because she disliked the physical training that would rub her feet. If she had worked a little harder, she should have learned how to fly over eaves and walls and skim the water like a dragonfly.

Running all the way.

When the deer reached the entrance of the alley where the fire was burning, its toes suddenly stopped.

She had no idea how tragic the scene was.

The horrific scene suddenly filled the field of vision.

There were many corpses lying all over the ground, some of which were burning, giving off a scorching smell of flesh and blood. The air was filled with a sticky smell of blood, and the blue brick walls were left with splattered blood and conspicuous knife and sword marks.

The complacency that had just arisen after defeating a powerful enemy disappeared instantly.

She suddenly felt very scared, as if her heart was being gripped by an invisible hand.

Not afraid of this bloody scene.

But he was afraid that one of the bodies left here might be his.

This fear overwhelmed her physical disgust and rejection, and she just held her breath for a moment before rushing into the burning alley.

Watch along the way.

It wasn't until she saw the familiar figure and white hair that her heart finally relaxed.

"white……"

Just when he was about to shout.

Her heart was hanging in the air again.

The person she was looking for was sitting on the ground, with flames burning a few steps away from him.

The firelight illuminated the scarred young man, his clothes torn and his sleeves stained red with blood.

Just by looking at his back, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of life-and-death struggle he had gone through.

"You're a little late."

Bai Xuan tilted his face slightly: "Fortunately, it's not too late..."

Lin Jiaolu felt a huge sense of shame in his heart.

Before, her mind was full of how to win the duel, but she never imagined what kind of situation Bai Xuan would face alone.

Now she understood that it was a Shura battlefield far more brutal than what she had experienced.

Behind his light-hearted words, "I'll buy time," it was clear that he was desperately trying to delay time.

But she never thought about it carefully.

"sorry."

She apologized softly.

My nose feels a little sore.

She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Bai Xuan. When she raised her eyes, the weakness in her expression disappeared, and the huge shame and regret had turned into a huge amount of anger.

She stared at Lu Ziyu deeply and intently.

...It's all because of you!

"Cousin, cousin, can we talk..." Lu Ziyu tried to force a smile. He didn't dare to attack Lin Jiaolu. If he did, his whole family would die.

"I have never had anyone I had to kill. Congratulations on becoming the first one!" Lin Jiaolu drew out the Guwu Sword with a clang of force.

Lu Ziyu's last shred of hope was gone. He said coldly, "Why did things come to this between you and me? We were a match made in heaven... Do you have to make such a fuss over this one person that the Lin and Lu families have to fall out? Stop it, cousin. Why do you care..."

"Care?" Lin Jiaolu murmured.

She lowered her head slightly and looked at the sword. The Lone Wook Sword reflected the calm and composed demeanor of the young man behind her. She just closed her eyes tiredly.

My heart suddenly ached.

I actually care...

I really care...

As a result, I don’t even want to consider other things or consequences...

For a sixteen-year-old girl, love and hate are so strong and pure.

"Of course I care."

Xiaolu smiled quietly, and the lady who had been quiet and lovely for sixteen years opened her cherry lips and said something extremely terrifying.

"Mr. Lu, I will personally carve every wound on your body, one by one, with my own sword, and... repay you tenfold!"

　Thought I had updated it.

　　It has indeed been updated.

　　But, it was updated yesterday.
