People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

Calm down, don't rush, think about your daily training, sword techniques that emphasize speed are most afraid of having an uneasy mindset."

Chapter 121 The General's Favor

Yan Qing's swordsmanship focuses on flexibility and diversity, mainly through constantly dealing with the enemy, consuming their energy, forcing them to show flaws, and then killing them with one blow.

He did the same thing when competing with others or fighting with others, and the effect was always great, but it also formed path dependence.

Facing Yue Yan, who was far superior to him in terms of agility, strength, physique and endurance, he could no longer bear it if he continued to use his original fighting style.

It was at this moment that he realized how big the gap was between him and her. It was not just strength, but the other party's swordsmanship was completely overwhelming his - because the woman had no intention of attacking at all.

During the fight, he had countless opportunities to launch fatal attacks on himself and cut him down with the sword, but he chose to dodge, only occasionally cutting himself into minor skin wounds. However, when fighting with swords, he was extremely skillful and threatening, and he didn't seem like a guy who could only hide.

There was only one reason—she was really afraid of beating herself to death...

This feeling of being looked down upon by others, but actually being looked down upon, was something Yan Qing had never experienced before.

But fortunately, he was a smart kid. Faced with such crushing pressure, he did not let his faith collapse. Instead, he began to think about Yue Yan's swordsmanship.

Just like that day when he faced Jingliu, he learned from his strengths and made up for his weaknesses, and understood the excellence from his opponent's sword.

This realization didn't matter, it actually made him realize something...

The opponent's swordsmanship was indeed exquisite, and of an extremely dangerous type - not flashy, but every move and every style was either intended to break the other person's joints with lightning speed, or to pierce their heart, cut their neck and other vital points. These were practical sword moves developed entirely for the purpose of taking other people's lives.

No wonder I feel so much pressure.

"This woman..."

Yan Qing couldn't stop panting, fear welling up in his heart, suppressing some of his previous passion, calming him down, and his sword intent became less violent.

"This sword technique is terrifying, truly terrifying... Even within the Cloud Riders, I don't think anyone has learned such a vicious sword technique."

But... why does it feel a bit like a chef chopping vegetables and meat?

During the fight, Yue Yan used her own experience to correct Yan Qing's mistakes over and over again - this was mainly to improve General Jing Yuan's favorability and do him a favor, after all, his parents were watching right next to them.

If I really get something incredible in Luofu, I can use the backdoor and get a light sentence.

Even if he didn't get into trouble in the end, the general's favor would still be worth some money. This deal would be a huge profit.

Having said that, Yan Qing is worthy of the title of young genius. Under her guidance, his sword skills proficiency keeps improving. Although he still can't touch Yue Yan even once, the progress is visible to the naked eye.

Ren and Dan Heng just watched from the side - these two people had no way to fight, and they had no ability to resist under the suppression of Yue Yanling's power.

There is no way to get out of this barrier. As soon as the strength emerges, it will be drained away, and the weapons will lose their sharpness. Unless the two of them are willing to pick up a brick and fight each other on the spot, there is no way they can fight.

Finally, during another sword duel, Yue Yan, perhaps a little tired, deliberately used the back of her knife to knock the sword in Yan Qing's hand away, and then before the flying sword returned, she pressed the blade against his neck:

"you lose."

"call……"

However, to everyone's surprise, Yan Qing did not seem particularly unacceptable, but nodded:

"Senior's swordsmanship is exquisite, and his sword moves are very skillful, rarely seen in the world. If he were to participate in the martial arts ceremony, he would surely take first place and be crowned the Sword Master... Yan Qing is convinced of his defeat."

It is not shameful to lose to a senior - in Yan Qing's imagination, the dragon girl in front of him must be at least two or three hundred years old.

Although it is a natural talent to have such swordsmanship at this age, I am still a kid who has not yet reached adulthood, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. The other person is much older than me.

However, what really broke him down was Yue Yan's next words:

"Senior or something... that makes you look too old."

She scratched her head and said, "I'm only 24 years old. Can't I call you sister?"

"20...24?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, a thunderbolt that shattered Yan Qing's heart of Taoism. In just a few seconds, his whole body faded and lost its luster.

The phrase "24 years old" lingered in his mind, causing him to question his talent in kendo.

The general said that he was a genius in swordsmanship that only appears once in a thousand years. Could it be that he was just comforting himself?

To achieve even one-tenth of that woman's swordsmanship, it would probably take me hundreds or even thousands of years...

But she is only 24, 24 years old!!!

However, just when his outlook on life was about to be shattered, a familiar voice pulled him back:

"Thank you, Miss Yue Yan, for taking care of my useless apprentice. He is still young, hot-blooded, and easily gets carried away. He took the liberty of challenging me to prove myself. I hope you will forgive him."

The person who came was General Jing Yuan, and it seemed that he had been watching for a while.

"Oh, General...it's okay, it's okay. Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous."

Yue Yan casually pulled out his rolling pin and cancelled the barrier, looking quite generous:

"Yanqing is only in his teens, right in the middle school age. When I was little, I was still clamoring to be an armored warrior and fight monsters. He's already much better than that."

Jing Yuan touched Yan Qing's head next to him:

"Yanqing, I saw everything Miss Yueyan did just now. She could have defeated you with one blow, but she fought with you and gave you a lot of guidance on swordsmanship... Why don't you thank her?"

"Ah, Yanqing thanks Miss Yueyan."

Yan Qing, who was pulled back, quickly clasped his fists, bowed, and saluted... I have to say, Jing Yuan taught him very well, and the child is quite sensible.

"Well, that's no problem... This young man learns very quickly, and he deserves the title of young genius. If he practices sword well, he will definitely win the position of the top swordsman in the future... Oh, by the way, Blade, Kafka."

Suddenly, Yue Yan looked at a huge rock and said with a smile:

"Isn't it time for you to leave? The train's story in Luofu is about to end. I guess your story ends here, too."

"In fact, it was already over when we were in the Qiongguan formation."

Kafka walked out from behind with a smile, obviously knowing that the other party was aware of her existence. But for some reason, the look she gave Yue Yan was a little strange...

How should I put it? It was like the look the male and female protagonists use when they look at each other in Korean idol dramas, with a touch of affection, which gave Yue Yan goosebumps.

"It's just that the script doesn't restrict A Ren's revenge, and I also want to see you again, so we came."

Chapter 122 It’s Dan Heng, not Dan Feng

"Now, it's time for us to go... Although A Ren's goal has not been achieved, I'm afraid you won't let him continue."

After Kafka finished speaking, she waved to Dian Dao Ge: "Let's go, A Ren."

"General."

Seeing this, Yan Qing hurriedly looked at Jing Yuan beside him - these two people are wanted criminals on the run, they can't be allowed to escape.

However, Jing Yuan shook his head and said to Kafka:

"You two helped Xianzhou... I can pretend I didn't see what happened today. Yanqing, please don't pursue it anymore."

Seeing this, Yan Qing could only reluctantly put down his sword and watch the two fugitives leave...

“Well… now that the outsiders have left, we have to talk about your affairs.

"Ms. Yueyan, you look like a Dragon Lord of the Chiming Clan. How did you do that?"

Sure enough, after the Star Core Hunter left, the topic shifted to Yue Yan. After all, her appearance was too conspicuous and it was hard to ignore her.

Jing Yuan seemed to be very interested in Yue Yan - how did she, an ancient beast, become a dragon descendant, and even have dragon horns and tails that ordinary dragon descendants did not have... You know, apart from Bai Lu, who was accidentally transformed into a member of the Chi Ming clan by Dan Feng using the magic of drawing dragons, there was no record of any new dragon descendants in the starry sea.

"Fortunately, the outsiders in the Scaled Abyss Realm have already been evacuated."

He laughed and joked, "Otherwise, if someone saw you like this, they would be terrified and report you to the higher-ups at Chi Ming. I'm afraid those dragon masters would go crazy by then."

"General, this is not a true dragon body. My ancient beast nature cannot be changed."

Yue Yan shook his head:

"Well, this matter is easy to explain... I wonder if General Jingyuan still remembers that one of the abilities of the Gluttonous Star God Oboros is to transform himself?

You can crudely interpret my current appearance as a form of mimicry. This ability is inherited from that Star God. I am still an ancient beast, merely transformed into a dragon. Although I possess all the powers I should possess, there is an essential difference between the two.

"Oh? So... you transformed yourself into a dragon, but is that any good for you?"

"Of course."

She took a light step forward—a very ordinary little step, as if taking a stroll, slow and light.

But in an instant, the rocks collapsed, and spider-web-like cracks spread out for hundreds of meters, destroying the already overwhelmed island beyond recognition and almost causing it to sink.

"I'm using some methods to temporarily maintain this appearance. By leveraging the power of my immortal destiny, I can temporarily suppress the greed within me. This allows me to safely release a portion of the Messenger's power without losing my mind."

In Jing Yuan's slightly surprised eyes, the girl smiled slightly:

"Although there will be some minor, unknown side effects, they are harmless. As long as Huanlong can be expelled from Luofu, this price is not a big deal."

These words made Yan Qing, who was standing next to him, admire him again - in order to protect Luofu, who had nothing to do with him, he actually risked the side effects and released such a dangerous power. He was indeed an unknown guest who did not seek rewards.

At the same time, combined with what the few people had just said, he extracted a few key words from them, "ancient beast, the power of the master". He had figured it out now and was no longer obsessed with the other party's age and the defeat he had just suffered.

That's the Ancient Twilight Beast, and it's an envoy! Isn't it normal that he hasn't defeated it? Even if Yan Qing is a young genius, there's no way he can fight a Divine Lord. The difference in combat power is more than one dimension.

This loss is not unfair, not unfair at all!

After completing self-comfort, Yan Qing's mood calmed down again, and even his color returned to normal.

However, after this battle, he finally understood what it meant that there are always people better than you.

Jing Yuan seemed very pleased with this. He turned to look at Dan Heng again. His eyes caught the green horn crown on his forehead, and he couldn't help but say:

"It's been a few years since we last met, old friend?"

"I'm not him."

Dan Heng shook his head: "I have nothing to do with him, my name is Dan Heng."

Even though he woke up from dreams of his past life countless times, and even when he boarded the Luofu Immortal Boat with past events echoing in his mind again and again, Dan Heng still firmly believed that he had nothing to do with Dan Feng.

Be it the glory of the Five Mings of the Clouds, the position of the Dragon Lord of the Vajra, or being the culprit of the Moon Drinking Rebellion, these honors or crimes have nothing to do with him.

He had already accepted the punishment that the sinner deserved, suffered eternal exile, and deserved to be treated as a different person.

Jing Yuan was silent for a moment... Yan Qing, who was standing beside him, keenly noticed that something was wrong with the general - for the first time, he read an emotion called disappointment on the other's face. It was hidden very well, but he still saw it.

"Um... I'm sorry, maybe it's because of the familiar dragon horn on your forehead that I still can't help but mistake you for him..."

The atmosphere became silent, as if cement had been poured into it.

At this slightly awkward moment, Yue Yan spoke up:

"Dan Heng, General, although I don't want to do this, I still have to interrupt you... We should go. The Cloud Cavalry and the train crew are in a tough battle, and we have to go help."

After releasing some of her power, her perception was greatly enhanced. Even though she was hundreds of miles away, she could still smell the aura of destruction...

Xing and his men are currently fighting against the Xu soldiers. Considering that there are still a large number of Cloud Cavalry, there shouldn't be any problems.

But it’s better to go there quickly.

"The breath of destruction... Tsk, although I normally have no problem with the flavor of various destinies, the appearance of antimatter above this ancient sea filled with the aura of immortality is still too abrupt."

The immortal power is like an exquisite antique that has been sealed for thousands of years, engraved with the memories of the years, while the antimatter army is like someone suddenly sprayed exaggerated and exquisite graffiti on this ancient device.

Graffiti belongs on the canvas, not here.

"Yeah, that's true... shall we go?"

"Let's go...but where is Xingcha?"

Danheng looked around but saw no sign of any means of transportation.

"Ah? Do we really need something like a Star Raft? Can't we just walk over there?"

As Yue Yan spoke, his body gradually changed shape, and he leaped into the sea, transforming into a black dragon:

"Besides, the fight you guys just made was so noisy that the island was broken into several pieces. Even if there were any means of transportation, they would have sunk to the bottom of the sea and become coral reefs."

Jing Yuan agrees with this:

"Hahaha, that's the truth... Let's go."

With the help of the power of the commander, the speed of the two is much faster than that of things like the Star Raft.

Watching the two people gradually going away, Dan Heng shook his head and turned into a green dragon and flew into the sea at the same speed. Everyone rushed towards the direction of Xianlong Dayun Palace together.
