God Emperor

Latest website: Huang Yanchen walked through the bustling streets and came to a mansion located in the central area of ​​Shentai City. He stopped and walked towards the gate.

The mansion is quite gorgeous.

On both sides of the gate, there is a beast that protects the palace, the King Kong Raging Lion. The body is very huge, and the fur all over the body emits a dazzling golden light.

At the same time, there were six armored guards standing next to the Vajra Lion, guarding the gate. The aura emanating from them was very powerful, and they were obviously top-notch masters.

"I've seen Miss Yanchen."

The six guards obviously knew Huang Yanchen's identity, and they bowed to salute her at the same time.

Then, the two guards walked over and opened the door for her.

"To be able to live in the central area of ​​Shentai City, he must be a powerful person."

Zhang Ruochen stood in the distance and carefully observed the six guards. He found that the armors they wore were all of the level tenth level of true martial arts and belonged to the Law Enforcement Hall of Wucheng Academy.

Moreover, their cultivation levels are all in the Fish-Dragon realm, and they are obviously top masters selected from the Law Enforcement Hall.

If a monk from the Fish-Dragon Realm can be allowed to guard the door, then the person in the mansion is at least a semi-saint, or even a saint.

Zhang Ruochen curled his lips and could already guess who lived in the mansion.

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen stopped hiding his figure and walked forward.

"Ouch!"

The angry diamond lions standing on both sides of the mansion opened their eyes at the same time and stared at Zhang Ruochen, showing strong hostility.

Two golden air waves emanated from their bodies.

Of course, the six guards also saw Zhang Ruochen walking over, but they recognized Zhang Ruochen's Taoist robe and knew that he was a disciple of the Liangyi Sect, so they immediately drove away the two raging diamond lions.

After all, they were now in the territory of the Liang Yi Sect, so of course they had to be polite to the disciples of the Liang Yi Sect.

Among the six guards, the one with the highest cultivation level looked to be in his forties. He had a pair of ears the size of a cattail leaf fan. He was holding a spear. He took two steps forward and said with cupped hands, "Who is here?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, took out the sect token to show his identity, and said: "Lin Yue of Liangyi Sect, came here to pay a visit to Senior Sword Master Xuanji."

Hearing Lin Yue's name, the six of them were quite moved.

After all, Lin Yue was a top talent in the Liangyi Sect and one of the most influential figures in the Sword Discussion Conference, so they had to treat him with caution.

"It turns out he is a swordsman prodigy from the Aoi Sect."

The faces of the six guards all showed respectful expressions.

The guard with the highest level of cultivation had a troubled look on his face and said: "Although the Sword Master is temporarily living in the house, his old man is like a dragon without a tail. Even we can hardly see him, and we don't know where he is now." It’s not like he’s gone out already.”

Obviously, they felt that Lin Yue was too young. Even though he was quite famous among the younger generation, he was not yet qualified to be received by Xuanji Sword Master.

"Master is indeed in this mansion."

Zhang Ruochen showed a happy face and said, "You just need to go in and report. If Senior Sword Master doesn't want to see me, I will leave."

Just when the six guards were in a dilemma, Feng Han walked out of the door.

Feng Han is the fourth disciple of Sword Master Xuanji. He is tall and thin. He looks about twenty-five or six years old. His face is quite pale and he looks very sick.

"Wow!"

The six guards knelt on the ground at the same time, saluting Feng Han, appearing very respectful, and said in unison: "Greetings to Half Saint Feng Han."

Zhang Ruochen had naturally heard the name "Feng Han" before, but this was the first time he saw him, and he thought to himself: "So he is the fourth senior brother, Feng Han. The third senior brother once said that the fourth senior brother's talent in swordsmanship is the highest among all The tallest among the brothers."

For some reason, Zhang Ruochen could faintly feel a very dangerous aura on Feng Han's body, which was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

Compared with the other three senior brothers Qingxiao Shengzhe, Zhu Hongtao, and Wan Ke, this fourth senior brother actually has a hidden cold and vicious aura in his body.

Feng Han looked sick, and gently raised a hand to signal the six guards to get up.

"Ahem."

He coughed twice before looking towards Zhang Ruochen, and said in a dry voice: "Little friend Lin Yue, Master already knows that you are coming to visit, and has specially asked me to take you in. Please!"

Zhang Ruochen saluted Feng Han, and then followed him towards the mansion.

This mansion covers an area of ​​about one hundred and fifty acres. It is not too big, but it is not too small either.

There were not many people in the mansion and it seemed very quiet.

In the central area is a lotus pond shrouded in white mist. At this moment, Sword Master Xuanji was sitting by the water, holding a green bamboo pole and fishing.

"Disciple has brought little friend Lin Yue. I wonder if Master has any other instructions?" Feng Han bowed and asked.

Sword Master Xuanji had a smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Feng Han, please retreat first. I want to have a private conversation with Lin Yue."

Feng Han was quite surprised. He turned around and glanced at Lin Yue with a puzzled expression.

He really didn't understand why the master would personally receive a monk from the Fish-Dragon Realm?

After shaking his head gently, Feng Han retreated.

After Feng Han left, Zhang Ruochen could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and immediately saluted his master.

Xuanji Sword Master deliberately wanted to test his cultivation. With a shake of his arm, he immediately raised the bamboo pole. The fishing line hanging on the pole broke away from the water, made a harsh sound of breaking wind, turned into a ray of silver light, and shot towards Zhang Ruochen's neck. Cut it over.

Zhang Ruochen was slightly startled and quickly released the Holy Body Protector. Then, he circulated the Holy Qi throughout his body and swatted forward with a palm.

"Swish!"

The fishing line was originally very soft, but there was a layer of holy energy surrounding it, and it suddenly became extremely sharp, turning into nine wave-shaped sword energy, one after another.

The fishing line passed through the palm of his hand and wrapped around Zhang Ruochen's legs, hands, waist and abdomen, penetrating almost everywhere.

For a sword master, every plant and tree can be turned into a sword, and it can even burst out with infinite power.

With Xuanji Sword Master's cultivation, if he attacks with all his strength, even if he only holds a blade of grass and slashes it down, he can split a city into two halves.

At this moment, he was using the fishing line as his sword, and he didn't use much holy energy. However, the swordsmanship he displayed was extremely subtle and hard to guard against.

Zhang Ruochen wanted to retreat, but found that a circle of fishing line was wrapped around him, blocking his escape route.

Xuanji Sword Master glanced at Zhang Ruochen and saw that he was trapped by the fishing line. He showed a smile and said: "A sword can be strong or soft. A combination of hardness and softness makes an indestructible sword."

Sword Master Xuanji's understanding of Sword Two is "hardness" and "softness", and he pays more attention to sword moves.

Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly, stretched his hands into the void at the same time, condensed a four-foot long sword, and shouted softly: "Sword Two."

The two swords were swung at the same time, forming a sword energy field that extended outward. Hundreds of sword energy rotated rapidly in the field, turning into a vortex of alternating black and white, rolling up the slender fishing line.

"break!"

Zhang Ruochen rushed upward and hit the fishhook with his sword, making a "ding" sound.

The fishhook lost its direction and the fishing line became messy.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen immediately rushed forward, passed through the entanglement of the fishing line, and appeared behind Xuanji Sword Master.

The swords in Zhang Ruochen's hands immediately dispersed, turning into two streams of holy energy and dissipating in the air.

Then, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Disciple, pay homage to Master."

Xuanji Sword Master squinted his eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Not bad, quite good. You have actually reached the second level of Sword II. Ruochen, you have not let me down."

In the Fish-Dragon Realm, one only needs to practice to the tenth level of Sword 1 to be considered a Sword Master.

Zhang Ruochen is obviously better. He has cultivated Sword Two to such a high level. How could Xuanji Sword Master be unhappy?

Sword Master Xuanji was in a good mood. He laughed loudly and quickly stretched out his hands and raised them gently. Zhang Ruochen was immediately lifted up by an invisible force and stood upright again.

Zhang Ruochen asked: "There is something unclear about the disciple. How did the master identify the disciple's true identity?"

Sword Master Xuanji looked at him carefully and said: "Your practice of the Thirty-six Invisible and Formless Transformations is still a little behind. You can deceive others, but you cannot deceive me."

Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly, feeling that he was playing tricks on his class.

After all, this kind of martial arts was passed down to him by his master. If others can't see the flaw, why can't his master see it?

Xuanji Sword Master stood up, walked around with his hands behind his back, and said: "With your current achievements, once you go to the Sword Discussion Conference, you will be recognized by some old guys. In the next few days, you will stay at home. , my master will personally help you cultivate the Thirty-Six Transformations of Invisibility and Formlessness to a more perfect state."

"Master knows that I am going to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Xuanji Sword Master's eyes widened and he said: "With your current swordsmanship attainments, even if you can't get into the top three in the Sword Discussion Conference, it will be easy to get into the top ten. Such a person can compete with all the swordsmanship wizards in the world. Chance, if you don’t participate, wouldn’t you be angry to death as a teacher?”

"Being a master is a sword master, so of course you have to save face. If you can stand out in the sword discussion conference, my master will naturally be very happy. When the time comes, you will have a mental advantage in the life-and-death showdown with the Jiuyou Sword Master. With this The stock advantage can at least increase the chance of winning as a teacher by 10%."

The cultivation levels of Xuanji Sword Saint and Jiuyou Sword Saint are so close to each other that it is difficult to tell who is stronger.

However, their mentality on the day of the decisive battle will definitely have a great impact on them.

Whoever has a better mentality will have a greater chance of winning.

Thinking of a life-and-death battle, Zhang Ruochen naturally felt worried in his heart and said: "Master, you have done enough for your disciples. There is no need to take such a big risk to have a life-and-death battle with Jiuyou Sword Master. What if? Something unexpected happened..."

Xuanji Sword Master immediately shook his hand and said calmly: "Actually, the reason why I made a challenge to Jiuyou Sword Master is not entirely because of you."

"More importantly, my master's cultivation has reached a critical point. It is impossible to break through this limit just by relying on cultivation."

"Only with the help of an evenly matched life and death battle can one unleash his potential and break through to the realm he dreams of as a teacher."

"The Jiuyou Sword Master should be in a similar state to me. He also wants to use this battle to break through the final bottleneck. So, he clearly didn't kill you, but he still accepted the challenge."

"This is a unique opportunity for him."
