Hard to be a master

Zi Lan was a little surprised when she heard the words, but after being surprised, she suddenly laughed and said, "If that's the case, then I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman."

Shen Ziliu looked at him puzzled, and saw Zi Lan took off the saber at her waist and held it in front of her, slowly drew the sword out of its sheath, then touched the index finger and middle finger of the hand holding the scabbard lightly on the blade, Immediately, a thin layer of bright red was stained on the blade.Zi Lan held the sword in front of her face, closed her eyes and moved her lips slightly as if meditating, at the same time, the blood-stained part of the sword suddenly shone bright red.Then, the red light spread out on the blade like a tide, and soon completely covered the blade.At this time, Zi Lan suddenly opened her eyes, flipped her sword-holding wrist and swung the sword fiercely towards the void. A red light was thrown out of the sword like an arrow from the string, and after touching the snow on the ground, It dissipated in an instant without leaving any traces on the snow.

The red light that remained on the sword quickly faded away, and the original silver-white sword turned dark green. At first glance, it was easy to regard it as a copper sword covered with copper rust.But as long as you take a closer look, you will find that the mottled-looking blade is actually smooth and sharp.The patterns on the body of the sword are like cracked copper rust, and the extremely thin "cracks" flash green light in bursts, like the blood gurgling from the heart, but the blood is bright green .

Zi Lan let out a sigh of relief, took a sword flower and put the sword back into the sheath, then turned her head and smiled at Shen Ziliu: "It was successful just once, it seems that today is indeed a good day to enter the battle."

Shen Ziliu couldn't help being a little surprised that the aura overflowing from the sword could be felt through the scabbard.Zi Lan brought this sword with him when he went up the mountain. Shen Ziliu often practiced and sparred with him in the past two years. It wasn't the first time he saw him use this sword, but he never knew it was a spiritual sword. I never knew this sword had such a shape.

Shen Ziliu squinted at Zilan, raised his eyebrows and said, "You deliberately hid your strength?"

Zi Lan didn't play tricks, and explained very consciously: "Brother Shen, don't get me wrong, I didn't hide it on purpose. According to my father, this sword was given by a mysterious monk not long after I was born. The monk told my father that it was a sword. It is a good spirit sword, but it has been sealed. As for who sealed it and why, I don’t know. I only know that if ordinary people hold it in their hands, it is just an ordinary fine steel sword , but if you meet a monk who has a relationship with it, and use blood to break the seal on the sword, you can get a rare spiritual sword called "Lingyu". As Brother Shen saw, this sword was indeed true before today It’s just an ordinary fine steel sword, in fact, I tried to break the seal several times after entering Kunlun, but all ended in failure.”

Shen Ziliu raised his eyebrows even higher, and said, "Then how did you succeed today by such a coincidence?"

Zi Lan shrugged and said sincerely, "I don't know too well, maybe it's because my cultivation was not enough before?"

Shen Ziliu stretched his eyebrows suddenly, and smiled provocatively at Zilan, "It doesn't matter what the reason is, now that you also have a spirit sword, you want to compare with me who can break through the sword array first?"

Zi Lan also smiled when she heard the words, her eyes gleamed eagerly, and said, "Since we want to compete, why don't we make a splash?"

Shen Ziliu thought for a while, and said: "Yes. If I win, you can show me the last three moves of your family's swordsmanship known as 'never show anyone unless absolutely necessary'."

Zi Lan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay. Then if I win, brother Shen will show me the jade pendant that Mr. Guan gave you."

Shen Ziliu immediately said without thinking, "Change to another one!"

Zi Lan smiled and said, "Then you change it too."

Shen Ziliu said expressionlessly, "It's just an ordinary jade pendant, nothing fancy."

Zi Lan smiled more and said: "An ordinary jade pendant, Brother Shen, is more precious than anything else, and I don't even want to let others take a look at it. I think there must be something special about it. Since Brother Shen wants to see my family from It’s only fair to use something that you don’t show to others if you don’t show it to others. Or does Brother Shen feel that he’s going to lose right now?”

The last sentence instantly aroused Shen Ziliu's fighting spirit, he straightened his expression, and said with a sneer, "Oh, I'm sure about your family's unique move today!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Ziliu pulled out Tunxiang, turned around and crashed into the enchantment of the mountain gate of Wujian Peak.Zi Lan was not far behind, Shen Ziliu's heel had just disappeared, and he also stepped in.

This time, with the help of a spirit sword—and a spirit sword with astonishing power in the "satiated" state, Shen Ziliu obviously felt that the sword array that required his full concentration and effort to deal with had become a bit vulnerable.In the process of advancing to the top of the mountain, Shen Ziliu also discovered that it is not necessary to fully satisfy Tunxiang's abyss-like appetite to maintain its power. As long as the "snake letter" extends to the tip of the sword and does not fade away, Tunxiang will remain at the same level. best state.

When Tunxiang was activated for the first time, firstly, he did not know that it would devour the user's spiritual power, and secondly, it was to feel what Cheng Yun called "greedy", so Shen Ziliu would let Tunxiang devour his body to his heart's content Spiritual power.But this time, while skillfully coping with the triggered sword array, he consciously fought with Tunxiang.Therefore, when Shen Ziliu broke through the last sword array and jumped out from the barrier of the mountain gate on the top of the mountain, although the spiritual power in his body was still plundered a lot, he was not as dizzy and weak as he was when he tried the sword. He fell asleep, but his body was still overwhelmed by intense fatigue, so he just wanted to go back to Qingmengyuan to have a good sleep.

Zi Lan, who stepped out of the barrier at the same time as Shen Ziliu, seemed to have had a harder time breaking through the formation than Shen Ziliu. A wound on the back of his hand was still bleeding, and his clothes were also damaged in many places, making him look quite embarrassed.But no matter what the process was, the two finally broke through the sword formation at the same time.

After sheathing the sword, Zi Lan took out a roll of bandage from her sleeve and wrapped it around her hand twice to temporarily protect the wound, then turned to Shen Ziliu and said, "We seem to be in a tie again, brother Shen." , what should I do? Or I'll show you the trick and you show me the jade pendant?"

Shen Ziliu also put Tunxiang back into its sheath, and after adjusting his breathing, he said, "No, since it's a tie, don't bother watching."

After a pause, Shen Ziliu looked at Zi Lan firmly and said, "And I suddenly realized that I don't really need to make this bet with you. Sooner or later, I will be able to use my strength to force you out of those tricks."

Zi Lan was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Then I'll just wait and see."
