Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 30 This world is missing a sword.
Next.

The two students quickened their pace.

In the first half of the day, we had already crossed seven mountain peaks and traversed nine mountain valleys.

Unlike before, Ouyang Lan never complained of being tired again.

Instead, he gritted his teeth.

He used his light-footed skill all the way.

They occasionally paused to rest and recuperate, but did not venture deep into the mountains and forests to search for wild game.

"Junior brother, do you see that tallest mountain ahead? Let's use our lightness skills and see who can run the fastest!"

Ouyang Lan pointed ahead and called out in a spirited and charming voice.

Ever since she called a halt to the sword fight that morning, she seemed to have completely figured something out. It was as if she had suddenly transformed into a training fanatic.

Not to let Lu Wubing monopolize the limelight.

"How about we take a break first?"

Lu Wubing asked tentatively.

He always felt that his senior sister was actually putting on a brave face.

Like that child who pretends to be strong, but is actually driven by fear.

"Why take a break? You're still young and in the prime of your life, why take a break here and there? When you're old, you'll have plenty of time to rest."

Senior Sister Xiaolan points her finger at the world.

I don't know where they learned those sales pitches.

It's probably either the sect leader or that master's wife whom I've never met.

"Alright, let's compete. I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that my senior sister will be sad if she loses."

Lu Wubing felt a surge of passion in his heart.

This is not his previous life; he is now just a sixteen-year-old boy.

It's really inappropriate for someone to be so gloomy all day long.

"Who's sad? Junior brother, if you could beat me with your lightness skill, I'll carry you for the rest of the journey."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Lu Wubing was dumbfounded.

To be honest, he really missed that night, under the bright moon among the pines, when his senior sister carried him across the mountains and ridges.

It was from that night that he began to feel that the world before him was so vibrant and so beautiful.

All the people and events I've experienced are no longer empty symbols.

……

Watching Ouyang Lan transform into a emerald shadow, the arrow shot forward.

Lu Wubing chuckled softly and whispered, "Senior Sister, you're definitely going to carry me this time."

The two walked one after the other, each step covering three zhang (approximately 10 meters), like two swallows that had just separated and were now reunited, darting across the grass and leaves in the forest.

Occasionally, bursts of soft laughter could be heard.

Sometimes there are green shadows in front.

Sometimes a green shadow appears in front...

They held on tightly, neither gaining the upper hand.

"Damn it, you actually secretly mastered the [Square Inch Step] technique."

Ouyang Lan realized she had made a mistake.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her junior brother's graceful figure.

When using light-body techniques, there is a feeling of using intention without force, and the movements are smooth and natural.

"You've been tricked, haven't you? Although Senior Sister has opened up the acupoints on her legs, her internal strength is much higher than mine."

However, this internal force is difficult to utilize; instead, it cancels out the other forces…

Lu Wubing understood as well.

Ouyang Lan's movements and footwork are actually quite exquisite.

However, her control over the manipulation of her internal energy was not perfect.

When using light-body skills, one either exerts too much force or feels unsatisfied.

As a result, when she used the "Square Inch Step" technique, her body moved forward in a bouncy manner, wasting a lot of energy.

Gradually.

Ouyang Lan fell silent, seemingly enlightened by Lu Wubing's words.

With a change in footwork, his movements became several times more agile.

She really wanted to win at least once.

I no longer want to be just playing a supporting role when facing enemies, leaving my junior brother, who has only recently started cultivating, to fight against the formidable foe alone.

I could feel this powerful thought.

Lu Wubing's eyes flickered slightly, his breathing slowed, and his movements decelerated for a moment. The green shadow brushed past him and flashed to the mountaintop.

"Junior brother, I have won in the end."

Ouyang Lan's eyes glistened with tears.

"Next time we encounter a formidable enemy, I can be of help." She smiled confidently and waved her hand emphatically. "I won't let you end up like Senior Sister Mingyue Palace, getting yourself killed."

Lu Wubing stared blankly at Senior Sister Xiaolan.

So that's what it was all about.

It's good that it's back to normal.

"I never felt that my senior sister was of no help," Lu Wubing said with a soft laugh.

"That day, I was besieged by Fei Yujian and the others. If my senior sister hadn't risked her life to save me, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape."

Furthermore, without my senior sister to restrain him, I'm not sure I could kill Chen Sanyang, who practices the Golden Thread Robe of External Strength.

"Different."

Ouyang Lan chuckled and turned to give him a deep look.

"I'm the senior sister."

People have to save face, junior brother.

"It's too embarrassing to say this," Ouyang Lan sighed, then continued, "In the past, I traveled the world with my father and mother. But never before have I truly witnessed the dangers of the martial world, nor seen such wickedness in people's hearts..."

"Born in chaotic times, people are treated worse than dogs. The common people of this world have never been truly cared about by anyone."

Lu Wubing felt this deeply.

In fact, it was more than just a chaotic era.

Born in the morning and dying at dusk, they are like ants.

Aren't those ordinary people just mud that the strong can play with at will?

"The world is missing a sword, a sword that hangs over our heads at any moment."

As Lu Wubing spoke, he turned to look down at the cliff, where the waves were surging and the sun was shining brightly.

I really want to make this sword.

If you are successful, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone.

What he really wanted was to take control of his own life and live a carefree life.

Thinking of the story from his past life, and the tragic figure who ultimately cut off his swordsmanship, Lu Wubing thought to himself that he would never live like that.

The wine in the cup can never be finished, and the heads of enemies can never be killed.

In this life, my only wish is to test my sword against the world, sweep away injustice, and then seek immortality.

It's worth it to have lived this life again.

……

In terms of lightness skill, Lu Wubing undoubtedly "lost" and didn't get to enjoy the comfort of riding the "Little Orchid" brand mount.

On the contrary, he himself became the "mount".

All I can say is that this boomerang, no matter how far it flies, will eventually pierce its own body.

the reason is simple.

When the lightness skill competition reached a critical moment, Ouyang Lan suddenly had some enlightenment and opened up another acupoint... but because she used too much force, she twisted her ankle at the last moment.

The road down the mountain was narrow and steep.

The senior sister had no choice but to abandon her reserve and said shyly, "Junior brother, carry me on your back."

So, Lu Wubing carried a pile of cotton weighing over 100 jin (approximately 50 kg) on ​​his back and walked slowly along the mountain path in the setting sun.

It wasn't that he was too exhausted to use his light-footed skills.

Mainly, I didn't want to wake up Senior Sister Xiaolan.

She practiced swordsmanship all night without rest, and then traveled frantically during the day; she was truly exhausted.

……

On this day, the two left the mountains and forests, and after traveling for another half an hour, they finally saw wine flags waving on the road ahead and heard voices.

Ouyang Lan exclaimed with joy: "Finally, I can see the shopkeeper and have a few sips of wine. My mouth is so bland."

"You can't drink alcohol at the roadside shops, but you can have some stir-fried vegetables."

We traveled for five or six days through the Hundred-Mile Hengshan Mountains, eating nothing but flatbread or hastily roasted wild game each day, which was hardly any enjoyable.

However, according to Ouyang Lan, after passing Hengshan, they had already entered Xiangzhou territory.

We're not far from Tianxing Peak anymore, so we're basically safe now.

You can relax a bit.

……

Asking for a monthly ticket.
