Chapter 156.
Ruan Yuqing gave Tang Yuyi a somewhat surprised look.
After gazing and listening again, he realized that he still had nothing.
Could it be that this Brother Li’s internal strength was still above his own?
His heart was precisely surprised when the sound of interplay finally reached his ears, and it was getting closer and closer.
Abruptly, a flash of sword light across the void, a person has come to the front of the crowd.
He lifted his nose and sniffed, looked at the roasted chicken warming up beside the campfire, and gulped:
“Greetings to several young friends.
“The wayfarers came here late at night and have nowhere to stay, can we borrow the firelight to warm ourselves and roast chicken to satiate our bellies?”
Jiang Ran glanced at him.
This was an old man, his age wasn’t too good to say, about fifty or sixty years old.
Dressed in all gray, he casually carried a sword in his hand, which looked as if it was very worthless.
But what was even more worthless than his sword was the smile on his face at this moment.
This smile seemed to be very contagious, Jiang Ran saw him smile and followed suit.
The smile on the old man’s face became more and more cheerful.
Just as he was laughing more and more happily, Jiang Ran opened his mouth and said:
“No borrowing.”
“Hahaha …… good …… ah?”
The old man’s smile came to an abrupt end, “Not borrowing ah?”
“Not borrowing.”
Jiang Ran nodded firmly, “Yes, you heard right.”
The old man instantly skimmed his lips:
“Young people nowadays, they really don’t know how to respect the old and love the young at all.
“That’s just it, originally still want to give you a chance, I didn’t expect you guys to be so unenlightened, if you don’t borrow, don’t borrow, old man ……”
When he said this, he saw that the fallen leaves behind him suddenly broke open a line.
A man dressed in black, the figure suddenly approaching, where he passed, the fallen leaves naturally separated on both sides, harsh and fierce palm force has reached the old man’s back.
The old man sighed again:
“Here we go again ……”
Speaking of this he turned his long sword as if he was carrying it behind his back.
It happened to block before that palm.
Ding a sound.
The fire light a moment hula hunter, the clothes of all the people present are by these two people exchanging hands overflowing the astral wind blowing.
Just at this moment, that old man suddenly turned back, hand long sword a pressure a send.
The sword was like a dragon point.
Seeing this, Ruan Yuqing suddenly let out a shocked ‘eep’.
Seeing that although this sword looks simple, as if it is just straight forward.
In fact, secretly hidden sword momentum, has that black man around all parts of the blockade, no matter whether he is in or out, left and right, up into the sky and into the ground, are in this sword blade within the scope of the cage.
And this black-clothed man’s martial arts skills were equally not weak.
Ruan Yuqing was able to see the sword’s momentum, he was naturally as insightful as a fire.
So he did not retreat or advance, nor did he dodge towards the left and right, but both hands drew a circle, one left and one right, and when it came to the end, it was just the palms facing each other.
At this time the tip of the sword had already reached his chest.
Palm covered, and the tip of the sword when it came is not the slightest difference.
Immediately, the internal breath turned, invisible internal force will be locked in the sword between the two palms.
Buzzing!
The sound of the sword sound clamor in a flash, invisible internal force and this sword potential touch, escape out of the force, immediately hit the surrounding sand, booming loud.
The old man’s feet step a little, bang, the original place to step out a deep pit.
The long sword in his hand went straight in, wanting to break through the restraints and poke into the heart of the man in black.
But between the other two palms is like another inch of heaven and earth, let the old man how to exert the internal force, are unable to break open, can only push the man in black can not stop backward.
The black-clothed man’s footsteps were pointing in succession, and every step that fell made the ground explode into a crater.
After retreating seven or eight steps in a row, the ground rumbled seven or eight times.
All the way to the ninth step, the black-clothed man’s body only then a meal, a foot heel suddenly slanting outward, toes down, stabilizing the body at the same time, its back suddenly snorting white mist rushed up to the sky.
The internal force around his body had already reached the extreme.
Abruptly, his two palms flipped.
That old man’s sword blade immediately fluctuated like water, as if a spiritual snake that had been strangled in its vitals.
On the contrary, that old man slightly tilted his head, and a trace of laughter actually flowed out from the corner of his mouth:
“Interesting!”
The left hand made a sword finger, and a finger pointed at the Kong Most Point on the right hand’s small arm.
In an instant, a dragon’s roar suddenly sounded.
It was as if a coiled dragon swam out from behind the old man and crashed into the long sword in his hand in one turn.
The long sword immediately taut, the tip of the sword like a dragon’s head, a can be described as a magnificent sword energy violently sent out.
The black clothed man’s face changed when he saw this.
Both hands turned over again, and his surrounding Qi was as calm and condensed as water.
Only a loud boom could be heard!
The two figures each fell and flew away.
The old man’s figure retreated, and after rolling several times in mid-air, he landed on a tree.
The tip of the sword was angled, and where the blade pointed, a deep pit was created with a loud bang.
The figure of the man in black smoothed back a distance of seven or eight feet.
With a shake of both sleeves, the ground on both sides immediately snorted and drew two sword marks.
“Not bad, not seeing you for five years, your [Tianxuan Ruyi Palm] has improved again.
“The deeper the inner strength, the more inscrutable it has become.”
That old man let out a long laugh, casually felt around in his arms, and after a long time, he actually felt out a handful of peanuts, threw one into his mouth, and clicked and clicked and clicked and chewed.
Only occasionally when he turned back to look at the roasted chicken next to Jiang Ran’s fire, he felt that this normally sweet and savory peanut rice, all of a sudden it did not smell good anymore.
The man in black, on the other hand, snorted coldly:
“Your [Heavenly Dragon Sword Technique] is still as difficult as it was in the past ……
“I haven’t heard from you in the past few years, and thought that you had already gone into the ground, but I didn’t think that I would still be able to show up in the jianghu and commit crimes.”
“…… Hugh to nonsense dog fart.
“Which for wrongdoing?”
“Speaking of you!”
The man in black spoke in a cold voice: “Those who are not convinced, fight again!”
“Fight then fight …… Do you think I’m afraid of you?”
Words to this, the old man is about to fly up, but the body shape of a move, but is a slight frown, and then re-stood will go.
The man in black saw this, the corner of his mouth suddenly revealed a mocking smile:
“Said to come and did not come, are you afraid?
“Oh, no!
“You are more than ten years older than me, now I’m only afraid that you are old and weak, and you have no more power to transport, right?
“If you don’t come, then watch me!”
With these words, he moved his two palms and was about to press down, but he also stifled a grunt.
That old man laughed out loud when he saw this:
“Still have the nerve to talk about the old man? The old man has long since seen that in these three days, you have been about to run out of gas.
“If I force you to fight any longer, I am only afraid that the white hair will send you this black hair …… The old man did not make a move just for the sake of leaving you a face and a life.
“Unfortunately, you don’t know how to be thankful, but instead you speak evilly, truly a dog biting Lü Dongbin who doesn’t know what a good person is.”
“What kind of good person are you ……”
The man in black was even more furious when he heard this.
Jiang Ran and the others sat on the side, eating and drinking while watching these two people fight.
Then they heard Ruan Yuqing say:
“So it’s them ……”
“Who are they?”
Jiang Ran asked hurriedly.
“…… Orphaned.”
Tang Yuyi gave him a blank look.
“Who did you say?”
Jiang Ran glared.
“‘Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword’ Gu Xi Zhi, have you ever heard of him?”
Tang Yuyi asked indifferently.
“…… No.”
“That’s not it, and you dare to say you’re not a lone voice.”
Tang Painting Yi laughed, “These two people, one is the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, Gu Xi Zhi, and the other should be the ‘Elegant Heart Little Building”s Jing Tan Jushi, whose Tian Xuan Ruyi Palm is extremely prestigious. However, I didn’t expect to be able to fight with the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword to this extent ……
“That said, does Miss Ruan know what kind of grudge there is between the two of them? How come it sounds like there’s a lot of bad blood.”
“Sinful karma?”
Ruan Yuqing shook her head:
“I don’t know much about these matters of the Jianghu seniors.
“However, it’s been almost fifty years since Gu Xi’s predecessor came out of the Jianghu, and the two can almost be said to not be from the same era.
“How could there be a grudge involved?”
“Who can say what happens in the Jianghu?”
Tang Yuyi said with a smile, “Looking at their appearance, I always feel as if they are trapped in love, maybe they are turning their faces to become enemies for the sake of the woman.”
“Is this …… possible?”
Ruan Yuqing was a bit surprised, “Their age difference can be big ah, if it is really for a woman, then what age would this person be?”
The two people looked to be about to gossip in depth about this matter.
Jiang Ran hurriedly interrupted them:
“That’s enough, people are still there, is it appropriate to gossip loudly in front of others?”
Ruan Yuqing and Tang Yuyi woke up in a dream, looked up to see, and indeed found that Gu Xi Zhi, Jing Tan Jushi also, all looked at the two of them.
Jing Tan Jushi’s face was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Xi Zhi on the tree was happy, as if he also wanted to follow the gossip.
Ruan Yuqing’s face flushed and she hurriedly stood up:
“Ruan Yuqing of the Water Moon Sword Sect, I have met the two seniors.”
“Water Moon Sword School? You’re the Soft Water Sword ah.”
Gu Xi Zhi laughed: “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen my old flame Shui Xi Yin for a long time, how has she been lately?”
“Ah!?”
Ruan Yuqing’s mind just buzzed when she heard this.
Instantly, she enacted a grudge match between her own Eldest Sister and the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword as well as the Jingtan Jushi.
But on second thought, it didn’t feel quite right.
If ShuiXiYin and GuXiZhi were old friends, then why hadn’t GuXiZhi been seen coming to Water Moon Sword Sect for so many years?
If the two people were really turning against each other for the sake of Shui Xi Yin.
That will always be entangled with the Water Moon Sword Sect.
Only then did he realize that he had been led into a ditch by ‘Li Tianxin’.
He was just talking nonsense, he even believed it, but also used it as the basis to start imagining …… what was speculated, naturally all rootless floating weeds, where can it do the number?
Immediately frowned tightly:
“Seniors careful words, just now is the late generation nonsense really shouldn’t, here with seniors to make amends.
“But my elder sister is pure and clean, please be merciful with your words.”
“Hahaha.”
Gu Xi Zhi laughed out loud:
“Alright, alright, your Water Moon Sword Sect is not easy, it has always been scrupulous, I will not tease with you.
“However, that roast chicken ……”
Ruan Yuqing glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran smiled, picked up one and tore off half of it, throwing it to Gu Xizhi with a flick of his hand.
Gu Xi Zhi probed his hand and took it, instantly happy:
“Well well well, what you guys said just now, let’s call it quits, old me is not a petty person is not it?
“As for that every day like to wear black clothes to go out in the middle of the night, pretending to be a ghost of how to think, the old man can not interfere.
“After all, this person’s mind is small and narrow-minded ……”
“You less nonsense!”
Jingtan Jushi sneered:
“What’s the point of ignoring him with the gossip of the bystanders?
“However, you have not been out of the jianghu for five years, this walk, for what?”
“What you do it for, I do it for.”
Gu Xi Zhi gnawed on the roasted chicken while slurping, “It smells so good.”
“……”
Jingtan Jushi coldly looked at Gu Xizhi and gently spat out a breath:
“I will do this matter, you don’t have to bother.”
“I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to do it well and cause her grief again.”
Gu Xi Zhi said indifferently, “If it wasn’t because you intervened, would she have fallen into this situation?”
“How dare you say that!?”
Jingtan Jushi was furious.
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Tang Wuyi gave Ruan Yuqing a wink.
Ruan Yuqing opened her mouth, she also heard out that these two people really seemed to have gotten into this situation over a woman.
Now to re-emerge in the world to do things, also for that woman.
However, Gu Xi one’s age, actually still have this kind of mind, is called people tsk tsk marvelous.
Jiang Ran shook his head and felt a little bored, casually opened the wine gourd and drank a mouthful, smacked his lips and only felt that this gourd in the Qiankun heaven and earth, is the real earthly pleasure.
He leaned against the tree trunk, but then frowned:
“Tonight, it’s oddly lively.”
But these words were not noticed by Tang Wuyi and Ruan Yuqing who were focused on listening to the gossip, except for Luo Qingyi and Mr. Big.
Gu Xi Zhi and Jing Tan Jushi didn’t continue their fight after all.
They had been fighting for three days and three nights before this.
Now that each of them were not moving, they were both recovering their qi veins, and if they fought again at this time as they had earlier, they would really hurt their bones.
The core of this fight would mainly be a war of words.
And in these two people quarrel endlessly, Tang painting Yi and Ruan Yuqing eat melon constantly, Luo Qingyi drowsy, Mr. big writing, Man Sheng Ming unconscious, Jiang Ran slightly drunk at the moment.
A sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded.
It came out from all directions, but in the blink of an eye, it surrounded Jiang Ran and the others.
Luo Qingyi sat up straight with a jolt, looking around with some sleepiness.
However, after seeing this group of people clearly, she was awake for a few minutes.
This group of people were uniformly dressed in red, with swords on their waists.
Regardless of men and women, between their brows and eyes, there was coldness.
“What kind of people?”
Luo Qingyi frowned slightly and stood up.
Gu Xi Zhi, on the other hand, cocked his head, somewhat surprised:
“Isn’t this the Blood Sword Hall?
“You few youngsters, it’s not good to mess with anyone properly, why did you mess with them?”
Jingtan Jushi let out a cold laugh:
“Blood Sword Hall …… Xuan Yuan Yi Dao?”
Tang Yuyi and Ruan Yuqing also came back to their senses and looked around.
“The Blood Sword Hall is one of the thirteen gangs out of the one clan, two associations, five swords, seven sects, and thirteen gangs.”
Tang Yuyi glanced at Jiang Ran:
“It’s coming on strong tonight, so I’m afraid it’s not going to be a good thing.
“What are you going to do?”
Jiang Ran smiled faintly, not waiting to open his mouth, when he heard a voice slowly come:
“Blood wars in the world, the Blade Sect raises its authority!
“The Blood Sword Hall is on business, those who are not related leave quickly so as not to make a mistake!”
“Blood fights in the world, the Sword Sect is powerful!”
“Blood fights the world, the Sword Sect proclaims its authority!”
The Blood Sword Hall disciples surrounding Jiang Ran and the others immediately opened their mouths in response.
Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:
“A handful of years old, how come the middle-aged period hasn’t passed yet?
“Don’t they really feel embarrassed?”
“What’s middle-aged?”
Tang Yuyi gave full play to the advantage of asking questions if she didn’t understand.
“It’s …… en, forget it, it’s not important.”
Jiang Ran waved his hand, too lazy to explain to her.
And right at this moment, a few silhouettes as if a few smears of blood in the air swiftly arrived.
The leader was a man in his thirties, with one hand behind his back, his face full of cold and solemn color.
Behind him, there was a man and a woman.
The expressions were the same as his.
Seeing these three people, those Blood Sword Hall disciples who had appeared earlier dropped to one knee:
“See you, Vice Hall Master!!!”
Ruan Yuqing whispered in Jiang Ran’s ear:
“Vice Hall Master Chen Zixuan, is a disciple of Xuan Yuan Yi Dao.
“It is rumored that this person has deeply gained the essence of the Xuan Yuan Yi Dao’s blade technique, and has a tendency to be even more blue than blue.”
Jiang Ran nodded in understanding.
And at this moment, the woman behind Chen Zixuan suddenly looked towards Gu Xi Zhi and Jing Tan Jushi with a slight frown:
“The Blood Sword Hall is doing something, why don’t the idlers back away?
“Waiting for death or not?”
Gu Xi Zhi glanced at him and shook his head:
“Young people nowadays, all of them have no respect for the old and love the young.”
“You also have to be worthy.”
Jingtan Jushi had skimmed his lips.
Gu Xi Zhi rolled his eyes:
“You match, you match, you match okay, I’ll find you a pig for you to match!”
“Vulgar! Nasty! Unpleasant to the ears!”
Jing Tan Jushi was annoyed.
“You guys!”
The woman was instantly enraged at this.
She was about to say something, but was stopped by Chen Zixuan:
“Don’t pay any attention, business is important.”
He looked around and finally his gaze landed on Jiang Ran, smiling slightly:
“Little brother, you are Jiang Ran, right?”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Exactly.”
“Good if you are.”
Chen Zixuan smiled, “You don’t need to be afraid, we’re not here tonight to make a big fuss, we’re just here to borrow an item from you. If you are willing to do so, we will turn around and leave, the Blood Sword Hall will recognize you as a friend after this, and if there is anything you just need to say hello, you will do whatever you need to do.”
“What if I’m not willing?”
Jiang Ran smiled, “You guys are just going to swarm around? Rob it by force?”
Chen Zixuan pondered for a moment and said with a sigh:
“Ever since the Blood Sword Hall was amongst the one clan, two associations, five swords, seven factions, and thirteen gangs seven years ago, there have been very few people in this jianghu who have said no to my Blood Sword Hall.
“Do you know why this is?”
“I wish to hear it.”
Jiang Ran smiled.
“Because dead people can’t speak.”
Chen Zixuan said indifferently, “I advise you to hand over the burnt-tailed zither, this item is precious and not something you are worthy of possessing. Continuing to covet it will inevitably jeopardize your life.”
“Jiao Tail Qin?”
“Tea tasting and qin appreciation conference?”
After Chen Zixuan’s words, the ones who reacted the most were not Jiang Ran, but Gu Xi Zhi and Jing Tan Jushi.
The two of them exchanged glances, and with a sway of their figures, they had already broken into the crowd.
They came directly opposite Jiang Ran and lined up side by side with Chen Zixuan.
Just then, he heard Gu Xi Zhi say:
“The Jiao Tail Qin turns out to be in your possession.”
“Little brother, may I discuss something with you?”
Jingtan Jushi said:
“Conditions you can open as you like, I just need you to lend me this Jiao Tail for a few days, and I will return it when I’m done with it!”
