Chapter 296.
Although Jiang Ran felt that people who were ‘seriously injured’ couldn’t drink.
But considering that if it was himself, even if he was seriously injured, he probably wouldn’t stop drinking from this cup.
A drunkard knows a drunkard.
So Jiang Ran really went to give the old drunkard a gourd of wine.
When he came back, he saw the old drunkard already sitting in the yard.
Wearing a thick cotton coat, he was covered like an old Buddha, sitting there waiting for Jiang Ran with a pale face.
After seeing him, he hastily beckoned:
“Where’s the wine?”
Jiang Ran’s mind turned, hesitantly handed over the wine, and when the old drunkard was about to touch it, he recovered it:
“Drink less, still hurt.”
“I know, really nagging.”
The old drunk hurriedly beckoned:
“Quickly give it to me.”
Jiang Ran then sent the wine over, the old drunkard casually took it, couldn’t wait to open the gourd and took a sip, then let out a long breath:
“Shuantan …… What’s the point of living if there’s no such thing as this cup in this life?
“Ran’er, today is a critical moment of life and death.
“The Abandoned Heavenly Moon will make a comeback at any time, and my master is now severely injured and beyond use.
“In order not to disgrace the prestige of this Frightening God Nine Blades, it will have to rely on you …… guys.
“Shixiang’s martial arts, another way, for the teacher can not instruct.
“You will give your second and third dagger to master to make once, let master take a look.”
This is to come for real?
Jiang Ran’s heart was slightly moved, but he was also a bit eager to try.
Immediately nodded his head:
“Also good …… come people.”
He shouted, and immediately someone stepped out on one side:
“Young Zun.”
This person is also not a stranger ……
Jiang Ran had seen him before when he was in the Tang family in the Cangzhou Prefecture.
It was the butler of the Tang family, called Sun Fu.
Nowadays, it seemed obvious that he was also a Demon Cult expert.
Jiang Ran smiled:
“I’ll trouble Butler Sun to go fetch me a knife.”
His Shattered Gold Knife was still in the inn, guarded by Tian Miao Miao.
This girl was eccentric but straightforward, and she would do what she was told to do, even if she didn’t sleep or rest.
So Jiang Ran was very relieved about this.
Sun Fu promised, turned around and left, and a few moments later, had come to the front holding several knives.
There were knives of all types and styles, and every one of them was not an unusual weapon, although they were not divine weapons, they were all top quality and extremely sharp.
Jiang Ran now believed that Elder Tang was indeed very rich.
Out of these few knives, after picking out a horizontal knife, Jiang Ran came into the field.
Speaking softly, he said:
“Old drunkard, you’ve read the words written by Mr. Big, you should know that this second blade of mine he named Club Formless.”
As he said this, the horizontal sword in his hand was already sheathed.
The blade was crystal clear, traveling on its own in the void.
It was clear, cold, and plain.
After the line, the blade naturally returned to its sheath.
There was no ripples in the void, and even less blade qi, and no blade intent.
The old drunkard’s hand, which was in the middle of drinking, gave a slight lurch instead.
In his eyes, the traces left behind by the knife as it traveled through the void still seemed to remain.
Jiang Ran turned back to look at him, a hint of a smile spreading at the corner of his mouth:
“How?”
These two words caused the old drunkard to return to his senses, skimming his lips and taking a sip of his wine:
“Fancy.”
“…… Where is it fancy?”
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while:
“You say that the ghosts and gods are shocked fancy, okay, say that my club invisible fancy …… This is only afraid that there is no more less fancy knife law than this.
“The outer nine knives are much more fancy than this, OK.
“This is clearly a return to the basics, the road to simplicity!”
“Aigoo, also back to basics, the road to simplicity.”
The old drunkard listened to straight music: “You really give yourself face gold it, how a period of time does not see, will also boast about it? You this knife is actually taken from the outer nine knife of the fourth knife and the sixth knife of the true meaning, walk is nothing is not broken road.
“The so-called all invisible, that is, all obstacles, in front of this knife, are invisible things.
“Only I see ah, you this knife still almost a little fire.
“If I’m right, you this knife shot although encountered the internal astral, or what body protection, can easily be broken by a blow ……
“But if you meet the moves to resist, which changes a few points less rounded.
“The reason why you can now rely on this move to dominate, in the final analysis is only because you have not encountered the moves on the more superior to your this sword.
“Bunny, you have to know that there are people outside of this jianghu, and there is a sky outside of the sky, don’t think that this jianghu is so big ……”
“Go go go go!!!”
Jiang Ran did not wait for him to finish, then hurriedly drank back:
“Less talk about that nonsense, fake big empty, tasteless, discarded is not a pity.
“If there is truly someone who can break my blade from the stance, then I can naturally make a second move.
“After all formless, there is still endless and life and death marks, endless not to mention, let alone the life and death marks, who in the world can block?”
“Rabbit child wings hard.”
The old drunkard beckoned to him, “Come, take out your sword on the old man, if the old man doesn’t teach you a lesson today, do you really think that the master is a decoration set up here.”
Jiang Ran glanced at him:
“You’d have to fall down with the wind now, how could you resist half of my internal force?”
“Deceiving master!!!”
The old drunkard was so angry that he almost jumped up:
“Can’t you not use your internal force? Stance …… stance understand?”
“…… OK.”
Jiang Ran looked as if he was still a bit regretful, which made the old drunkard’s anger flare up like a frenzy even more:
“Rabbit cub, I want to instruct you in the art of the sword, not give you the opportunity to hit me!!!”
“OK, OK, less nonsense, look at the knife!”
Jiang Ran’s words came to life, his feet moved, Tian Qian’s nine steps turned, and the blade had already reached the old drunkard’s heel.
The stance was still the same, but it did not contain the slightest amount of internal force.
The power of this knife, not only lies in the internal force, technique above the mystery, is the key to unbreakable.
The blade is not ferocious, but the traces of it are unfathomable.
But just when the blade was about to fall in front of the old drunkard’s neck, two fingers silently rested on it.
This change was born out of invisibility.
It was only when the two fingers landed on the blade that Jiang Ran was surprised.
The most strange thing is that the old drunkard’s two fingers did not contain the slightest internal force, how he struck, how to send moves, Jiang Ran was fully concentrated, but did not have the slightest awareness.
The heart is strange, under the hands is not stop, blade a turn, life and death marks!
But just at this moment, the old drunkard’s finger gently picked, originally to strike the life and death traces, suddenly out of shape.
The traces of the knife intent were scattered and returned to the ordinary.
Jiang Ran retreated three steps on his feet and looked up at the old drunkard, thinking for a moment and said:
“How did you do this?”
“Think for yourself first?”
The old drunkard glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran then reversed his blade and put it behind his back, pacing in place and thinking slightly:
“Between the changes in moves, there are still breaks ……”
“That’s right.”
The old drunkard nodded:
“Between the Club Formless and the Life and Death Marks, the breakage is extremely obvious.
“Of course, this is only for a part of the people …… For the majority of the people in this jianghu, this point of brokenness is not visible to them.”
“But who can guarantee that what I have encountered is not that small portion of people?”
Jiang Ran spoke softly:
“Just now, you exchanged blows, you started first afterward, and silently captured my Club Invisible.
“After taking advantage of the two stances to switch the gap, disrupted my knife trend towards …… cracked the life and death scar that has not yet been shot.
“This is certainly because you and I do not use internal force, so my knife moves do not have internal force protection, by you easily sway. It’s also because, you know too much about the Life and Death Marks to be able to capture that momentary break.
“But it is also enough to show that these two moves are not seamless.”
The old drunkard had a stomach full of words he wanted to say, but after hearing Jiang Ran’s words, he smacked his lips and gave them back, skimming his lips:
“No fun ……”
“En?”
Jiang Ran turned back to look at him:
“What’s wrong? The wine is not good?”
“Master is saying that you have no energy ……”
The old drunkard sighed, “When I taught you the Nine Daggers back then, there was no sense of being a teacher. These nine daggers are the most difficult of all. As a result, it only took you six years before and after, and you’ve already practiced to this extent.
“Although I say that in terms of qualification and enlightenment, it’s definitely inferior to being a teacher, it’s still far beyond a large group of mediocre people in the world.”
“…… Tsk tsk.”
Jiang Ran tsked:
“I remember you didn’t say that back then ……”
“What did I say back then?”
The old drunkard asked.
“You said back then that after six years of practicing, I was just barely usable, that I had mediocre qualifications, and that my enlightenment was bullshit.”
Jiang Ran accused word for word.
“I said bullshit?”
The old drunkard raised his eyebrows, “It shouldn’t be, I don’t remember saying that.”
“It doesn’t matter!”
Jiang Ran waved his hand, “What’s important is that you’re starting to eat books now ah.”
“Alright, alright, where it’s not critical, you’re the one who counts.”
The old drunkard grunted, “Moreover, I was right when I said it was barely a use. You didn’t have internal power in your body at that time, with a set of nine swords, you could compete with some of the lower three in the jianghu, isn’t it just barely usable?
“Even if you meet an expert, if the other party doesn’t use their internal force, they are not your match.
“So, this evaluation by the master is still pertinent.”
“……”
Jiang Ran felt as if there was no way to reason with this old rascal.
Then he gently let out a breath:
“This way it seems that I still have to grind a little more between these two moves ……”
“No hurry first.”
The old drunkard, however, smiled:
“Execute your third blade and let my master take a look.”
Jiang Ran didn’t hesitate when he heard this, and with a turn of the blade, he fiercely slashed diagonally towards the sky.
A flash of blade awnings appeared, then broke through the air and went straight to the cloudy sky.
Jiang Ran hand on the cool roof, gazing at the knife awn, look for a while also do not see cut through the sky floating clouds, can not help but skimmed his mouth.
Turned back to look at the old drunkard, found that the old drunkard also hand on the pergola in that look.
Seemingly sensing Jiang Ran’s gaze, he hurriedly withdrew his hand.
After glancing back at him and muttering a couple sentences under his breath, this was the only time he gave his comment:
“Fancy ……”
“Do you not know any other words besides fancy?”
Jiang Ran almost gave him an exasperated laugh.
“It can’t be helped, your sword technique is just like your person, it’s too fancy.”
“What’s wrong with my person?”
Jiang Ran exposed his arms and rolled up his sleeves, with the impulse that if you old thing don’t give a statement, I’ll break your teeth.
The old drunkard didn’t know how he understood his meaning from this action of his, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth:
“Okay, okay, okay, okay, this move of yours, Infinity, was born from the true meaning you comprehended from your Creation Positive Heart Sutra, fused with the sword technique.
“However, Master has not practiced the Creation Positive Heart Sutra, so you should tell Master what the wonders of this blade are.
“Master actually didn’t understand ……”
Even if the old drunkard is no longer amazingly talented, Fangcai this knife he can only see a touch of knife awn from the appearance.
Inside the Qiankun, but half of it does not make sense.
Unless this knife he next, otherwise it is difficult to realize the true meaning.
Jiang Ran faced the old drunkard and naturally didn’t hide anything.
Jiang Ran naturally didn’t hide anything from the old drunkard. He said the essence of the ‘Seemingly Royal Infinity’ in the Creation and Transformation Heart Sutra.
The old drunkard listened attentively, and only after Jiang Ran finished speaking did he say with an odd expression:
“A good one seems to defend the infinite ……
“The Creation Positive Heart Sutra is truly worthy of being the top school of the Positive Heart Sect of yesteryear,” he said.
“With just these four words alone, it can be called the number one in the Xuan Sect.
“It seems that my master was wrong in his assessment just now, this move of yours is not fancy at all …… you should be a bit more fancy.”
“Huh?”
Jiang Ran froze and glanced at the old drunkard in thought.
The two masters and disciples looked at each other, and then they saw the old drunkard smile:
“The third variation of the first blade, the seventh variation of the second blade, the sixth variation of the third blade, the fourth variation of the fifth blade, the ninth variation of the sixth blade, the first variation of the seventh blade, the eighth variation of the eighth blade, as well as the three, six, and nine variations of the ninth blade.
“How about you take these ten changes before and after, and incorporate them into this blade, and then try your move Infinity?”
Jiang Ran fell into silence after hearing this.
Then he didn’t strike immediately, but sat down on his knees.
The old drunkard didn’t urge him either.
Although Jiang Ran already knew the outer nine variations of the Nine Blades of the Shocking God long ago.
There was no problem with wanting to bring up each of these variations he had mentioned individually.
But wanting to merge them into one, and adding the words ‘Seemingly Royal Infinity’, it would not be so easy.
Even if his own disciple, enlightenment is indeed extraordinary, from the creation of positive heart sutra, directly take away the ‘seem to defend the infinite’ this martial arts of the most subtle reasoning, only afraid that it will take a few hours to be able to say these, fused into one.
Therefore, the old drunkard is sitting here, drinking small wine, slowly waiting.
He is not in a hurry, God seems to be in a bit of a hurry.
It was so anxious that it was snowing.
Suddenly, the old drunkard’s eyebrows gently twitched, and he opened his eyes to look at Jiang Ran who was still sitting there with a thin layer of snowflakes covering his body.
Raising his gourd and taking a sip of wine, he let out a contented sigh.
Abruptly, there was a flash of silver stars that cut through the heavy snowflakes and went straight for the old drunkard’s brow.
This flash of silver star came too fast, and the one who took the lead was Sun Fu.
He had been hiding under the porch, ready to listen to orders.
At this moment, he shook his hand, and with a buzzing sound, a Willow Leaf Flying Dagger was shot out by him.
It was only half an inch away from poking the old drunkard.
However, this half inch difference caused the willow leaf flying dagger to sweep in front of the old drunkard’s forehead.
Ding!
A soft sound was emitted, the moment the Willow Leaf Flying Knife swept across the old drunkard’s forehead, it just happened to block the silver star that was speeding towards him.
The next moment, the willow leaf flying dagger poked in the courtyard opposite a pillar, was knocked flying silver star is playing whistling nailed in the eaves of the wooden beams above.
But it was a silver needle that was only about an inch long and short.
Sun Fu footsteps a turn, people have already reached the roof above.
He saw a person who failed to kill with flying needles, and wanted to leap up and kill again.
Sun Fu’s figure moved, intercepted in the air, two people at the same time out of a palm.
Only heard a bang, the surrounding tiles all exploded.
The person’s figure abruptly retreated and fell on top of the roof, a muffled grunt escaping from his mouth:
“[Heavenly Flare Seven Star Palm]!”
After saying this, he turned around and left.
Sun Fu stepped a little and flew to catch up:
“Since you have come, please stay as a guest.”
Seeing that he had already chased after this person, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind again.
The heart was immediately tightened:
“Tuning the tiger away from the mountain!”
Suddenly, he turned back and wanted to return to the courtyard.
Only to hear three buzzing echoes, had come behind him.
Immediately, with a shake of his robe sleeve, the three flying needles were immediately knocked out, and when he looked up again, the man’s palm had already arrived in front of him.
Sun Fu was not willing to tangle with him.
The old drunkard was still in the courtyard, and Jiang Ran was obviously comprehending the sword technique, having entered the realm of forgetting things.
It was exactly the time when one could call upon the void.
If one were to entangle himself here, he was only afraid that the old drunkard’s death would be imminent.
Immediately, he angrily shouted:
“Get lost!!!”
A palm, palm in the center of the astral body flashes, palm shadow like the Big Dipper seven stars fluttering and unpredictable, so that people can not be blocked.
Only heard a bang, this palm hit the person’s chest.
That person to hit the figure violently flew backwards, mouth blood spray wildly.
Too late to see how the results of the battle, jerked back, footsteps have returned to the corridor above.
Probing eyes to take a look, which only then breathed a sigh of relief.
He saw that Jiang Ran, who was originally sitting on his knees, had stood up at some point.
The person who had attacked him earlier was standing face to face with him.
Jiang Ran was pointing his sword diagonally at the ground, and he looked like he was in a state of disrepair, but the person on the other side didn’t dare to take a step forward easily.
His shoulder was wounded, freshly wounded, and the wound was still bleeding.
Obviously, he was injured by Jiang Ran during the sneak attack.
And at this moment, Jiang Ran’s attention was not on the incoming person, he glanced at the knife in his hand.
All that flooded his eyes was the light and intent of the knife.
Suddenly he let out a light laugh:
“The old man just knows to make a pretense …… is obviously ‘taking its meaning and forgetting its shape’, but said that it is so complicated, causing me to ponder for half a day, I can’t think of how to be able to incorporate these ten changes into a single move. ”
“Oh? So you’ve figured it out now?”
The old drunkard looked up at him.
Jiang Ran gently exhaled, and in the next moment, the blade unfurled.
The silhouette disappeared in an instant.
In just a flash, he had already reached the opposite side of the courtyard.
The man in the center froze, and although he was unsure, he was ecstatic.
Wasn’t this giving Broken Dongliu to himself to kill?
He was about to move forward, but suddenly his footsteps lurched.
A strong intuition of danger came from all directions.
Suddenly turned around, and saw that the surroundings did not know when, but actually swept out a blade astral.
Knife light like a forest, like a prison, from the four directions and rise, will be trapped in the middle, staggered to be churned into pieces.
His heart was horrified, and he fiercely wanted to fly out.
However, he didn’t expect that this effort of raising his head, there were also two sword daggers crossing and falling in mid-air, not giving him half a way out.
“This is impossible ……”
The man only left behind such a sentence, and all the blade lights crossed over from his body.
Only this blade light didn’t stop, chopping through one person in the center and spreading towards the eight directions!
Sun Fu, who was originally very relieved, suddenly turned white when he saw this scene.
