Chapter 379: The Enemies of the World
When Deng Tai’a arrived with his sword, he only saw the young feudal lord sitting alone at the top of the broken stone steps with a sword on his knee.
Although Xu Fengnian, whose clothes were bloodstained, was full of fatigue, he was full of vigor, and his celestial body, which had suffered heavy injuries one after another, was like a withered tree springing to life, gradually tending to its peak.
Deng Ta’a drifted to the ground, wearing the unusual iron sword gifted by his disciple, holding Ta’a upside down, standing beside Xu Fengyen, “Eight hundred years of scholarly spirit, all scattered on earth?”
Xu Fengnian nodded, “The old gentleman was obviously a bit attached before he went, he stayed up for a few hours, along with properly arranging some aftermaths, and only then did he rainbow out on the spot.”
Deng Tai’a frowned: “Then this fight?”
Xu Fengyen smiled bitterly and said, “The supreme sage who is the backbone of the Central Plains literary lineage should be more assured of the pure heart of the Taoist Li Yuxue, when Sect Leader Li escorted the Dragon Carp along the Guangling River into the sea, the old man must have secretly observed it and trusted it. To me well, can not have much confidence, not only is the son of Xu Snapdragon, but also very likely to go to the world, in my place, will not be assured that the old man’s shoulders on that side of the family handed out. That’s why there is such a storm, his old man must force me to the dead end, personally saw my root and heart before willing to give up.”
The Peach Blossom Sword God, who was never interested in the rise and fall of the world, laughed coldly, “Still relying on the old after all.”
Xu Fengyen was noncommittal and turned his head to ask with a smile, “Is it that you are upset about the flying sword not being able to enter Wudang Mountain?”
Deng Tai’a frankly said, “This is of course, as soon as a sword is released, there is no reason to return without success!”
Xu Fengyen and Deng Tai’a raised their heads at the same time, looking towards the distant sky that was gradually whitening with the color of fish-belly, after the saint of the Zhang Clan had rainbowed out in a manner similar to the way that Taoist Changsheng real people disintegrate on their own, it was as if there was an additional stream of novelty between the heaven and earth, which was indescribable and obscured the heavenly chances.
There was righteousness in heaven and earth, miscellaneously endowed with flowing forms, and peppering the sky.
Xu Fengyen whispered: ”Establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing speech, the three immortals of the readers. This old gentleman, really can’t do it.”
Deng Tai’a wrapped his arms around his chest, “Remarkable is remarkable, but in my opinion, it is still a bit unpleasant.”
Xu Fengnian sighed helplessly, “In life, how can everyone be like you, Deng Ta’ah. You, don’t stand and talk without pain.”
Xu Fengyen remembered something and laughed: “Right, before the old gentleman left, he asked me to tell you that in his opinion, since the sword was introduced a thousand years ago, you Deng Tai’a are the most skillful swordsman.”
Deng Tai’a did not have the good sense to say, “The path of sword art is just a sesame seed that Lu Zu discarded after picking up a watermelon.”
Xu Fengnian blankly said, “It’s no fun talking to you.”
Deng Tai’a slanted a glance at him.
Xu Fengyen asked, “How do you dispose of those 200,000 swords scattered on the ground at the Wu Family Sword Mound? Do you still need to return them?”
Deng Tai’a asked back, “What, you want to stay?”
Xu Fengnian hurriedly waved his hand and said, “How would I dare, that Wu family old ancestor would still have to fight with Northern Liang, the matter of waving a hoe and digging for someone’s corner can’t be too much.”
Deng Tai’a gave an oh, “Then I will return all of them, Wu family’s things, I would have used them to get in the way of my eyes and hands.”
Xu Fengyen lowered his voice, “Don’t, you at least choose a thousand good swords and famous swords and secretly leave them behind, say that they were destroyed by that Zhang family sage, if the Wu family’s sword mound wants to be unforgiving, if you have the ability to go to that Zhang family sage’s mansion to smash the scene!”
Teng Tai’a was full of disdain and said, “I’m too lazy to do this kind of thing.”
Xu Fengnian smiled brightly and said, “Don’t need the Peach Blossom Sword God to take the trouble, I’ll do it, I’m quite familiar with intercepting this matter.”
Deng Tai’a obviously didn’t want to talk about this, and began to hold his breath and concentrate on his mind, driving more than 200,000 flying swords to go to Northern Liang was by no means an easy task.
Xu Fengnian suddenly said, “Before old sir left, he told me that Northern Mang Tuoba Bodhisattva’s martial arts cultivation had skyrocketed overnight.”
Deng Tai’a, who instantly figured out the gist of it, grimaced, “This is to use both Tuoba Bodhisattva and Tantai Calm to deal with you?”
Xu Fengnian hmmmed, “It’s not far off.”
Deng Tai’a asked, “Has the old man ever said how high Tuoba Bodhisattva’s cultivation is? Is there an analogy?”
Xu Fengnian shook his head, “Vague, only five words, ‘Heavenly Man Great Eternal Life’.”
Deng Tai’a frowned, “These obscure words, I’ve never been good at them, so just say directly with Wang Xianzhi when he left the East Sea, is Tuoba Bodhisattva slightly inferior or as if it’s between?”
Xu Fengnian had obviously long pondered over this greatly headache-inducing question and blurted out, “I guess the best result is slightly inferior by half a step.”
Deng Tai’a asked, “Then the worst result?”
Xu Fengnian half-truthfully snickered, “I’m afraid I’ll scare you by saying it.”
Deng Tai’a pulled the corner of his mouth, “Has anyone ever said that talking to you is actually quite meaningless?”
Xu Fengnian shook his head, “Not really, especially not women! Nowadays, there is a saying prevalent in the Central Plains that testifies. Ten years to cultivate Song Yushu, a hundred years to cultivate Lv Dongxuan, and a thousand years to cultivate Xu Fengnian.”
Teng Tai’a said blandly, “Oh? Not a hundred years of Xu Fengyen, a thousand years of Lv Dongxuan?”
Xu Fengyen pinched his chin and pretended to be confused, “Could it be that I remembered it wrong?”
Deng Tai’a couldn’t help but raise his voice, “If you have a fart, let it out!”
Xu Fengyen put away his jocular demeanor and put away his cool sword, “The worst outcome is that at some point in time, Tuoba Bodhisattva’s combat power will be half as good as Wang Xianzhi’s.”
Deng Tai’a laughed it off, unclasping his arms and stretching his back, the morning sun was approaching, “That would be the worst outcome, or else Tuoba Bodhisattva would be left to me to deal with?”
Xu Fengyen shook his head, squinting his eyes and looking away from the peaceful scene of the sky becoming green and white, lazily said, “You’ve fought with him in Beimang, this time it’s better for me to do it.”
Teng Tai’a was silent for a moment, and with hindsight, sneered, “Don’t forget, you and he fought twice in the Western Regions and outside the Liangzhou Pass! If I remember correctly, it was a draw and a loss, right?”
Xu Fengyen let the breeze blow away the last bit of blood on his body, “Where have I ever lost? Besides, that trip to the western region was a thousand miles of fighting, if it wasn’t for Li Mi Pi’s intervention at the last minute, Tuoba Bodhisattva would have been a dead man already.”
Deng Tai’a laughed it off, “Alright, you want to be a hero, I, Deng Tai’a, will satisfy you.”
Xu Fengyin said softly, “Perhaps in terms of battle power, we are all in the celestial realm, there is no difference in height, but there is a state of mind unique to Wang Xianzhi, even if you, Deng Tai’a, hold Tai’a, and even if Tuo Tuo Bodhisattva receives a gift from the Immortals, it’s still impossible to have it.”
Deng Tai’a asked curiously, “Invincible on earth?”
Xu Fengnian fiercely drew out his cool sword, the tip pointing at the great sun that leapt into earthly view, “Enemy on earth!”
Deng Tai’a asked again, “You have?”
Xu Fengnian replied, “I, Northern Liang, have always had it!”
