Starting from Tianlong, Wudu Tianxia

The Nineteen Forms of Heavenly Mirror Wind Control are incredibly exquisite, and with thirty years of pure Northern Darkness True Qi as their foundation, even though he is only a beginner, the combination of his soft and hard skills is so strong that he can easily defeat any weaklings.

If it were against someone like Hong Zhaoren, it would naturally be impossible to do something so terrifying and frightening.

Thinking of Lao Hong, his soft sword was also incredibly fast, but it was quite different from the Nineteen Forms of Tianjian Yufeng.

The Nineteen Forms of Heavenly Mirror Wind Control emphasize borrowing and controlling the wind, not being bound by things or techniques, moving like clouds and water, adapting to the enemy's changes, and riding the wind in a single thought.

"Sizzle!"

The sword was sheathed.

The boy turned around and mounted his horse step by step, until the horse reached the little girl who was still standing there in a daze.

"Lead the way, let's go save your master."

"what?"

Gao Yuan frowned slightly when he saw that she was like a block of wood.

Saving lives is like putting out a fire. Suddenly, he bent down and swept the little girl into his arms as if she were a light object, and placed her in front of the saddle.

"ah!"

The little girl nestled in Gao Yuan's warm embrace. The rise and fall of his strong chest stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within her—fear, stubbornness, and blush—leaving her speechless for a moment. She could only stammer:

"It's...just ten miles ahead...at Qingshiyan."

He noticed the subtle changes in the little girl in his arms.

Gao Yuan assumed she was worried about her master's safety, so he remained silent, cracked his whip, and shouted "Giddy up!" urging his tall yellow horse to gallop away.

The martial arts master from Hejiazhuang, having survived the ordeal, took out his wine flask, took a swig, and then tossed it into the air.

"Great wine, awesome!"

The man who had just argued with him caught it steadily, grinned, and took a sip of his drink.

"Brother Yu, do you know who he is?"

"I don't know, but..." he said with a wry smile, "We were just showing off our meager skills in front of a true master!"

So young!

Witnessing his swordsmanship created a stark contrast in their minds.

A group of bandits all died by his sword!

Let alone the Dali Kingdom.

Even in the Central Plains, such young men only knew the names of Qiao Feng and Murong.

This world is becoming more and more interesting!

Dust flew everywhere, and grass and trees were blown around. Before long, the view opened up before us.

A blue stone protruding from the cliff suddenly appeared.

Beneath the bluestone cliff, seven bandits surrounded a woman. Four or five corpses lay on the ground, all killed by her, demonstrating her considerable martial arts skills.

The woman wielded two swords, dodging left and right with agility, her sleeves fluttering as she turned.

"Whoosh!"

A short, thin arrow shot out from the center, striking one person in the throat. Without pausing, she swept the floor, taking down two more people.

They were on the verge of breaking through.

suddenly.

Behind the seven bandits, the leader on horseback suddenly sprang to his feet!

He had a resolute face, a black mole on the bridge of his nose, slightly graying temples, and a fierce aura emanating from his eyes and brows.

He stepped onto the horse's back, and the black horse, unable to withstand his force, neighed and fell to the ground. Using the momentum from the horse, he galloped towards the woman.

"Master, be careful!" The little girl's face turned pale, and her cry was filled with worry.

In the blink of an eye.

She felt her soft hand being pulled by a gentle palm and held onto the reins, and then she felt the wind whistling as the young man exerted his strength, instantly soaring three or four zhang into the air.

The Nineteen Forms of Heavenly Mirror Wind Control: Wind Returns to One.

The silvery-white light was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. With several forward swings, the sword intent, carrying powerful internal energy, shot through the air at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

Danger!

Such intense killing intent, such powerful sword intent!

The bandit leader stopped his forward momentum, took two steps backward, and grabbed a bandit, throwing him into the air.

"Pfft pfft pfft!~"

The sword intent, carrying a powerful force, struck the bandit instantly, causing blood to rain down. The man fell to the ground like a tattered rag, lifeless.

Interrupted here, the woman drew her sword to protect herself.

The bandit leader was about to see who had ruined his plans when, just as he regained his footing, everything went blurry before his eyes.

There was another person three feet in front of him, and it was the boy.

This was completely unexpected. Even with the bandit leader's sharp eyes, he couldn't see where he came from. Startled, he couldn't help but take a half step back.

He took a step forward, leaping back five feet, only to find the boy still three feet in front of him.

It can be seen that just as one takes a step back, the other side takes the same step at the same time.

But he only stepped forward after I retreated, arriving just in time without revealing his presence. This person's martial arts skills must be superior to mine.

"Who are you?"

His response was a slap from the boy.

Knowing his strength, the bandit leader countered with a palm strike, unleashing a powerful burst of internal energy.

"Bang!~"

Their palms met, and Gao Yuan pressed down on him, causing him to stagger backward until his heel hit a large rock and he finally stopped.

"May I ask who you are?"

Startled, the bandit leader stopped addressing Gao Yuan as "you".

"Be careful!"

Gao Yuan was facing the man with his back to the bandits when one of the bandits seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack with a knife.

The woman who had just been rescued did not know the boy's background, but she still instinctively warned him.

To everyone's surprise, the young man did not turn around. He slung his sword sheath over his back and steadily blocked the incoming slash.

Then, he reversed and pressed the scabbard horizontally. The sword was pulled by the scabbard, and the attacker was pulled forward by the force, staggering towards Gao Yuan.

Without even looking, he pressed his palm against the sword sheath and struck it again.

A powerful surge of energy erupted from his palm, sending the attacker flying several feet away, whereupon he struggled and died instantly.

"Damn it!"

The bandit leader scrutinized the boy, and the others around him abandoned the women and moved closer to him.

"Whether you deserve to die or not isn't up to you to decide, is it?"

The boy smiled: "Relying on your martial arts skills to bully women and kill women and children, shouldn't you be the one who deserves to die even more?"

Having said all he could say, the man knew there was no way to resolve the matter peacefully. He immediately exchanged glances with the others, then his eyes flashed with malice.

"Very well, since you are so presumptuous, I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany you."

"Attack together!"

He shouted, and the people around him rushed forward again.

Gao Yuan was not afraid of being ganged up on. He took a step to the side, slashed his sword horizontally, then took two steps forward, creating a gust of wind in his sleeves as he countered with two palm strikes. Then he took a half step back, slightly shifting his position to avoid the two men.

The entire sequence of movements was as swift as a breeze. In less than a few breaths, the group felt a whisper of wind, then clutched their chests and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

The bandit leader, however, remained hidden among the others, never moving.

Just as Gao Yuan finished off the five men, he suddenly launched a surprise attack to try and save his life.

The timing was absolutely perfect.

"Bang!"

The moment his palm struck Gao Yuan's chest, he burst into laughter: "Haha, what kind of bullshit young hero are you? Meddling in other people's business deserves to die."

but.

Before his laughter subsided, he felt as if his palm had struck a wall of red-hot iron. A strange internal force, far beyond his imagination, surged through his palm, causing his internal energy to surge wildly outward.

The boy remained standing still, without even swaying, only glancing at the person clinging to his chest:

"You dare claim you'd risk your life to accompany me?"

"By the way, I am..."

His eyes turned cold: "Gao Yuan, a disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bandit leader lost all his inner energy and went limp, before he could say anything more.

The next instant.

A powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted from the boy's chest, rebounding from Gao Yuan's palm.

The bandit leader was sent flying backward like a kite, crashing into the old locust tree. Black blood gushed from his mouth, his eyes widened, his head lolled to the side, and he was gone in an instant.

"Thank you for saving me!"

The woman thanked him, though she was surprised by the boy's martial arts skills, her temperament remained unchanged, though her tone was firm.

Gao Yuan patted the dust off his chest and carefully examined the woman.

She appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a pointed face, long eyebrows, and a cinnabar mole between them. She exuded a heroic air when she turned her head.

No wonder it aroused the wicked thoughts of the bandits.

"Seeing this on the road..."

He had just clasped his hands in greeting when the woman ignored him, giving him a wary look before turning around and taking the little girl off the big yellow horse.

Then, he took the little girl's hand and left without any hesitation.

Gao Yuan smiled and didn't mind. He mounted his horse and was about to continue on his way.

suddenly.

Taking advantage of the woman's inattention, the little girl secretly glanced at Gao Yuan with her bright, dark eyes.

Then, carrying the woman on his back, he dropped an object on the ground at an extremely fast speed.

After they disappeared, Gao Yuan rode forward, picked up the item, and saw that it was a small sachet.

A delicate fragrance wafted from the sachet, which suited the young girl's cool and beautiful temperament quite well.

Upon closer inspection, one sees delicate characters written on it: "木若温婉，清扬婉兮".

Gao Yuan looked at the two figures from behind again.

So it was Qin Hongmian, the Asura Blade! No wonder!

Well, so the little girl from earlier must have been Mu Wanqing.

interesting!

......

The woman led the little girl to a roadside inn, picked up Granny Liang, and then continued on her way.

"Giddy up!"

The sound of horses galloping could be heard, and dust rose from the road.

The woman recognized them at a glance; she had sent a message to her junior sister by carrier pigeon a few days earlier, but the people who came to help had arrived a step too late.

Seeing that they were all men, she didn't want to see them, so she left Grandma Liang to wait for her reply and took the little girl's hand and left first.

"Don't think that your master didn't see your little tricks just now."

"what!"

The little girl was startled by her master's words, but added softly, "They saved us..."

She grew up in a secluded valley, and her long-term isolation and "purity" meant that she would respond to the kindness of others with sincerity, only feeling that what her master said was wrong.

The woman stopped abruptly, turned around and glared at her: "Shut up."

"Can......"

"Shut up." The woman's tone instantly turned cold.

Seeing that her master was angry, she dared not speak again. She had followed her master since childhood and never disobeyed him, and she felt that whatever her master said was right.

Her contradictory psychology and lack of worldly, complex understanding are precisely where her "innocence and naivety" lie.

Looking at the little girl who was growing up day by day, the woman sighed again: "Wan'er, no man is any good. They are all heartless and ungrateful."

As he spoke, he took out a black veil from his bosom and gently placed it on the little girl's face.

"Men are all lustful at first sight. Your master is doing this for your own good. From now on, you are not allowed to show your true face to others, lest you be constantly bothered by shameless people. We will never leave the valley again."

Having said that, she didn't linger and led the little girl forward.

The little girl's eyes were misty and brimming with tears.

"Lead the way, let's go save your master."

The boy's words still echoed in her ears, and she felt her heart pounding, not knowing what was wrong with her.

only......

That sword, that person, that young man.
