Chapter 9 Chapter Ninth World Invincible

At this time, twilight was coming, and the sunset glow was beautiful. In the shadow of Huqiu Pagoda on the top of the mountain, there was a lone eagle circling, but it set off this picturesque beauty extremely desolate and desolate. This sigh is also incomparably desolate, incomparably desolate. I saw a wisp of solitary smoke flying out gracefully from the hexagonal pavilion, and scattered in all directions.In the misty smog, in the desolate mountain pavilion, there is a white-haired old man with a high feather and a high crown, sitting alone and cooking tea. His loneliness seems to be the same as that of the lone eagle hovering beside the extremely tall tower.

Chu Liuxiang's eyes flickered, and he said: "Could it be that the old man was also a member of the grand gathering of tea cooking and sword tasting here in the past?" The old man sighed again, and said: "That's right, but it's a pity that most of the old people have passed away, leaving only the old and sick, still wandering in the world, and I want to find someone who can accompany me here to cook tea and try my sword , it’s impossible.” Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua looked at each other, feeling a little chill in their hearts. Those who were able to cook tea and taste swords here in the past can be said to be all top swordsmen. If they can not die now, their swordsmanship will undoubtedly be even more superb.

This old man just happened to revisit the old place today, sitting here, it must be no accident, if he is waiting for someone, then who is he waiting for? Hu Tiehua couldn't help but said: "I don't know the old man's name?" The old man didn't turn his head, but said slowly: "This old man is handsome Yifan." Chu Liuxiang suddenly said: "Could it be the handsome old man 'Star Picking Taoist' who moved three mountains with one sword and slashed the sky star in the past?" The old man suddenly stood up, looked up to the sky and laughed, the autumn leaves around the pavilion were shaken by his laughter and fell like snowflakes.

He just smiled and said: "Chu Liuxiang is really extraordinary, the old man's new tea is just boiling, why don't you come in and have a drink together." He didn't even turn his head, he already knew that it was Chu Liuxiang who came, obviously he had already received news from Li Yuhan, and he was waiting for Chu Liuxiang here. Looking at Li Yuhan and his wife again, I don't know when they disappeared. Chu Liuxiang sighed secretly, but said with a smile on his face: "I will cook tea with you, but if you want to try the sword, I will..." Shuai Yifan turned his head suddenly, and said sharply: "But what? Although the old man is old, the sword is not old yet!"

Hearing a "choke" dragon cry, he already had a long sword as green as autumn water in his palm, and Chu Liuxiang stood a few feet away, already feeling the imminent aura of the sword. Hu Tiehua couldn't help but blurted out praise: "Good sword!" Shuai Yifan smiled proudly: "Of course it is a good sword." His eyes seemed to be sharper than the light of the sword, he glared at Chu Liuxiang and said, "This sword has not been out of the sheath for thirteen years, old man, today it was drawn out for you, you can be proud of it." Chu Liuxiang sighed and said: "The famous sword is out of its sheath, and it will not be returned in time. Is the senior going to take the head of the next one today?"

Shuai Yifan sternly said: "My generation of warriors is about to die by the sword, are you still afraid of dying?" Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, and said: "If senior wants to give advice, I can only accompany you, but I want to ask senior about one thing. With the reputation of senior, I think I can't hide it." Shuai Yifan said: "What's the matter?" Chu Liuxiang said: "I have never had any enmity with my senior, but my senior is determined to take my life. Could it be that I was entrusted by others?" Shuai Yifan raised his thick eyebrows, and said: "That's right, but if the opponent is not Chu Liuxiang, I wouldn't bother fighting."

Chu Liuxiang smiled lightly, and said: "If I still want to ask senior who entrusted me, I will probably not say anything, but even if I don't tell you, I can guess seven or eight points." Shuai Yifan said: "Very good, draw out your weapon and start!" Chu Liuxiang said: "Obey." Before finishing the two short words, he suddenly soared into the sky, skimmed onto a big tree with not yet withered leaves, and plucked a soft branch. Shuai Yifan is known as "Picking the Stars", and his lightness kung fu is as high as one can imagine, but seeing Chu Liuxiang's leap, he still couldn't help but feel ashamed of it.

I saw Chu Liuxiang bend the soft branch into five feet long, with three or five leaves left on the branch, he made a horizontal branch as his chest, and said in a salute, "Senior, please." Shuai Yifan frowned and said, "This is your weapon?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Exactly." Shuai Yifan said angrily: "What a frivolous young man, even Li Guanyu would not dare to be so contemptuous and rude to this old man!" Chu Liuxiang said: "I have no intention of disrespect." Shuai Yifan shouted angrily: "What do you mean?" Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly, and said: "As long as it is used properly, everything on the earth is a sharp weapon to hurt people. If it is not used properly, it is difficult to hurt people even if it is an ancient magic weapon. Seniors, how can you not understand this?"

He said these two sentences lightly, but they were full of compelling sharpness. Hu Tiehua secretly smiled, knowing that this is also one of Chu Liuxiang's strategies, if the opponent is too strong, Chu Liuxiang must kill his arrogance first. What's more, the sword in Shuai Yifan's palm is obviously a sharp weapon for cutting iron like mud, if Chu Liuxiang fights him with metal and iron, it will not be able to stop the sharpness of his sword. This time he used soft branches to deal with the enemy, and he took the meaning of "overcoming rigidity with softness". Even if he didn't get any advantage, at least he wouldn't suffer too much.

Hu Tiehua now knows that Chu Liuxiang's wit when fighting with others is indeed beyond the reach of others, and he can hardly bear to persuade Shuai Yifan: "Why do you have to fight this old bug! The name 'Star Reaching Taoist' is not It is easy to get, why do you want to destroy it once?" The tea smoke in the pavilion has dissipated. Shuai Yifan stopped talking and walked out step by step. He walked very slowly, he only took two steps, but Hu Tiehua was already taken aback. Hu Tiehua was aggressive and aggressive when he was young, but his temper didn't change much when he grew up. Fighting with others all his life was just like eating everyday food.

Over the past ten years, it can be said that he has met all kinds of opponents, and naturally there are some famous swordsmen with unique swordsmanship. Some of these people's sword skills are light and nimble, some are sharp, and some are fierce, but no matter who they are, they have to wait until the sword style is pierced before they can threaten others. But at this moment, this "star picking Taoist" is handsome Yifan, not only has he not made a move with his long sword, but even before he has even stepped out, Hu Tiehua has faintly sensed the force of his sword—he looks like he has already After being tempered into a knife, his whole body exudes a murderous aura. Hu Tiehua already felt this way because he was outside the game, let alone Chu Liuxiang? No one would have imagined that this old man in feathers and high crown, with a sense of being out of the world, could become so sharp and terrifying in an instant. The mountain wind blew past, blowing his clothes flying, and his footsteps kept going outside, but no one seemed to be able to feel his body moving. It's because he has turned all the spiritual energy in his body into a sword energy, others can only feel the force of his sword energy, and have forgotten his own existence. His body has merged with the sword energy, filling the world, so when he moves, he doesn't seem to be moving, and when he doesn't move, he seems to be moving. Hu Tiehua finally found out that the courage of this famous swordsman of his predecessors was beyond the imagination of others. He wanted to persuade Shuai Yifan, but now he began to worry about Chu Liuxiang. He really couldn't think of any way to break this sword energy. Although the mountain wind is very strong, the whole world seems to have condensed. Hu Tiehua only felt beads of sweat dripping out, everything in the world seemed to have stopped, and even time seemed to have come to a complete standstill. He felt as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling his neck. He was out of breath. He couldn't imagine how uncomfortable Chu Liuxiang felt at the moment, but at this moment——Chu Liuxiang's figure suddenly soared into the sky. No one could have imagined that he could soar into the sky under such great pressure, and no one could have imagined that his leap was like an arrow. Shuai Yifan is still as firm as a rock, but the sword in his hand has been raised inch by inch, and it seems that there is a weight of tens of millions of catties on the sword, which seems to be indescribably stagnant. But Hu Tiehua has seen that his sword style is in line with the changes in Chu Liuxiang's figure. Even though Chu Liuxiang's figure is like a dragon, the tip of his sword is always within an inch of Chu Liuxiang. No matter what direction Chu Liuxiang falls from, he cannot escape him. One of the stabs of the sword. Chu Liuxiang had finally settled down. His upward momentum is like an arrow piercing through the air, soaring into the sky, but his downward momentum is like a dragon, circling and dancing, changing in thousands of ways, and it is unpredictable. The sword in Shuai Yifan's palm was ready to go. At this moment, the soft branch in Chu Liuxiang's hand suddenly drew an arc, and a few leaves on the branch suddenly left the branch and shot towards Shuai Yifan. Shuai Yifan let out a long roar, and the long sword had turned into a light curtain. Hu Tiehua saw that the sword light had engulfed Chu Liuxiang, and those few leaves had been crushed by the sharp sword energy and wiped out without a trace. Then, the sword energy disappeared suddenly, the sword in Shuai Yifan's palm had already dropped, his face was expressionless, and the muscles of his whole body seemed to have stiffened at this moment. If he was a knife, now it has turned into a wooden knife, and it has become dull, and his sharpness and murderous aura have disappeared without a trace. Seeing that Chu Liuxiang had fallen a zhang away in front of him, the soft branches in his palm had become bare, even the bark had been stripped off by the sword energy. Hu Tiehua didn't know how Chu Liuxiang rushed out from the encirclement of sword energy, nor did he know who the winner of the two was. After an unknown amount of time, Chu Liuxiang bowed in salute, and said, "Senior's swordsmanship is exquisite, which I have only seen in my life." Shuai Yifan glanced blankly, and murmured: "Very good, very good, very good..." He said three sentences in a row, the long sword suddenly turned into a flying rainbow, flashed in the boundless twilight, and then swayed like a meteor and fell into the pool of swords. After a while, there was a "plop" sound. So there was another peerless famous sword in the sword pool. Shuai Yifan stared blankly into the distance, his whole body was exhausted, his life and soul seemed to have fallen into the pool of swords along with the sword. Chu Liuxiang couldn't help showing a gloomy look on his face, and sighed: "I'm taking a chance, although I was lucky enough to escape from the sword of the senior, but I still failed to win, why bother..." Shuai Yifan said sharply: "You don't have to say it!" Chu Liuxiang said: "Yes." Shuai Yifan stared at him for a long time, without saying a word, suddenly turned around and walked down the mountain with big strides. Chu Liuxiang watched his figure go away, and sighed: "Senior's demeanor is really different..." His voice was very soft, but Shuai Yifan suddenly turned his head and looked at him, as if he wanted to say something. Chu Liuxiang bowed and said, "Senior, do you have any orders?" Shuai Yifan was silent for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh, saying: "Victory without arrogance, humility and courtesy, juniors are like you, how can seniors be able to match?" Chu Liuxiang said: "I have a lot of praise from my seniors, but I dare not say victory." Shuai Yifan looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said: "What is the hatred between you and Li Guanyu?" Chu Liuxiang said: "I have never met Senior Li before, and there is no way to mention the word hatred." Shuai Yifan's eyes showed surprise, and said: "Since that's the case, why did Li Guanyu kill you?" Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and said, "I don't know, did Senior Li never mention it?" Shuai Yifan looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Li Guanyu was kind to me in the past, as long as he believed in the talisman, even if he wanted me to cut off his own head, I would not hesitate, do you understand?" Chu Liuxiang said: "I understand." Shuai Yifan said: "Very good, very good, very good..." He said this sentence three times, his figure flashed in the twilight and disappeared. Chu Liuxiang shook his head and sighed, "This person really deserves to be called a hero, but it's a pity that there are fewer and fewer people like this in Jianghu." Hu Tiehua breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help asking: "What does his last sentence mean? Do you really understand it?" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "He is telling me that in order to repay Li Guanyu's kindness, he would not hesitate to kill him, so even though he didn't know why Li Guanyu wanted to kill me, he still came to do it. " Hu Tiehua frowned and said, "So, he was really entrusted by Li Guanyu?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Of course." Hu Tiehua said: "But why did Li Guanyu want to kill you?" Chu Liuxiang said sadly: "An old man will do anything for his son-in-law." Hu Tiehua was silent for a while, then smiled again: "How did you beat him just now? Not only did I not see it, I couldn't even think about it." Chu Liuxiang sighed: "This man's swordsmanship has really reached the pinnacle. He has turned the tangible sword into invisible air. My whole body has been enveloped by him, and I can hardly breathe out." Hu Tiehua said: "Even I can't breathe, let alone you?" Chu Liuxiang said: "If I don't try to get out of his sword energy first, I will have to let him kill me, so I can only take a risk and jump up suddenly while he is breathing." He continued with a wry smile: "You should know that dealing with an expert like Shuai Yifan is not only a risk, it's almost like dying." Hu Tiehua said: "Yes! This kind of volley strike can only be used when the strong fight against the weak, because as long as one misses, you will be in a desperate situation, so I see you using this kind of move. , was also taken aback." Chu Liuxiang said: "After I was in the air, I could see that his sword energy was concise and invulnerable, so I had to use the leaves on the branches to induce his sword energy first." Hu Tiehua touched his nose and said, "I don't understand the truth." Chu Liuxiang said: "At that time, his sword energy has been fully exerted, just like the bow is fully drawn, and the arrow is on the string, as long as you touch it lightly, the arrow on the string has to be fired." Hu Tiehua said: "Yes!" Chu Liuxiang said: "This is what I use." Hu Tiehua straightened his eyes and said, "What's the point? I still don't understand." Chu Liuxiang said: "I forced out the internal force of the leaf and touched his sword energy. His sword energy is already full, as long as it is touched by something outside, it will explode immediately." Hu Tiehua said: "Yes!" Chu Liuxiang said: "Once the sword energy is released, it will be out of control. Not only those few leaves will be completely destroyed, but even the whole person will be crushed to pieces." Hu Tiehua said in amazement: "It's amazing." Chu Liuxiang said: "But after the sword energy is triggered, there is a gap." Hu Tiehua said: "Why?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Because his strength has been concentrated on those points, there will inevitably be gaps in other places, so I took the opportunity to lightly tap his head with a branch." He continued with a long smile: "But even so, I was still bounced back by the sword energy, and I was so shocked that I flew out." Hu Tiehua wiped his sweat, smiled and said: "But no matter what, you still beat him with one move." Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and said: "Although this move seems easy, it is actually more difficult than ten thousand moves. Besides, even though my branch set him on fire, it would never hurt him. He didn't have to admit defeat." Hu Tiehua moved: "So, if he didn't admit defeat at that time, and then took advantage of the momentum to pursue, wouldn't you be finished?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case." Hu Tiehua said: "Why not necessarily?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Because I have already broken his sword energy with this move, if he wants to condense his sword energy again, I will not give him a chance, so if he pursues again, he can only fight me with his moves. " Hu Tiehua said: "How do you know that his moves can't beat you?" Chu Liuxiang smiled again, and said: "In terms of the skill of moves, there is no one in the world who can beat Shi Guanyin." Hu Tiehua blinked, and suddenly asked again: "What if Shuai Yifan and Shi Guanyin fight?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Shi Guanyin will definitely win." Hu Tiehua said: "How can you see it?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Because Shuai Yifan still hasn't been able to cultivate the sword energy to perfection, and he can't retract and release it freely, and he hasn't been able to integrate the sword energy into the changes of the sword's moves." Hu Tiehua said: "What if he can integrate sword energy into his sword moves?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Then you will be invincible in the world!"
