Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 493 Wu Family Sword Tomb
The Wu family has a martial arts saint in charge, and he has an extraordinary status in the martial arts world.

Their family was built on a hill called Jianzhong.

The Wu family has been practicing martial arts for generations and all of them use swords. After death, the swords are returned to the Wu family and remain in the family, and the same is true for the younger generation.
Therefore, this place is called the Sword Tomb, and the entire Wu family is located in this Sword Tomb.

The Wu family rarely interacted with outsiders.

The swordsmen of the Wu family are also very arrogant. People from the martial arts world often come to challenge the Wu family, but there are not many people who can defeat the swordsmen of the Wu family. Most of them are defeated at the gate of the mountain.

Any martial artist who loses to the Wu family swordsman will, according to the agreement, become a sword slave of the Wu family.

Therefore, fewer and fewer people have come to the Wu family in recent years.

After hearing this rumor, Chen Wang couldn't help but sigh.

"The head of the Wu family is in control. If we kill all the people coming, the Wu family will have too many enemies in the martial arts world. This way, we will not hurt too much harmony, and we can also prevent people from challenging the Wu family."

There are very few people in front of the Wu family sword tomb, and there are no people guarding the mountain or welcoming guests.

Looking at the dry and desolate hilltop, Chen Wang couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Is this the Wu family sword tomb?"

Minghe bit his lips and said nothing.

Chen Wang turned around and said, "What's wrong? No, you want to follow me all the time?"

Minghe said: "Are you really going to come to the Wu family? You know the rules of the Wu family!"

Chen Wang said: "I know. If you lose, you will have to be a sword keeper in the Wu family."

Minghe shook his head.
"Who told you about the Sword Keeper? It's called the Sword Slave. You have to be a slave to the Wu Family and you are not allowed to leave the Wu Family Sword Tomb. Do you know how many former martial arts masters have failed in the Wu Family Sword Tomb? How many famous figures in the martial arts world are now slaves here?"

Chen Wang shook his head.
"I don't know. I only know that I want to come to the Wu family to ask for the martial arts secret book and learn this unique skill."

Minghe exclaimed: "So direct?"

Chen Wang smiled.
"Yes, it's that direct."

Minghe bit her lips lightly.

"You are such a weird person!"

Chen Wang smiled and said, "That's not what you said at Tongfu Inn."

Minghe's face suddenly turned red, she glared at him and stopped talking.

Along the way, she traveled with Chen Wang. As a single man and a single woman, both young talents in the world, they were naturally attracted to each other.

At first, Minghe thought Chen Wang was a martial arts fanatic who didn't understand human nature and would tease him with words.

But who knew that Chen Wang was actually a veteran who knew this well, and Ming He was no match for him.

She was taken down by Chen Wang on the first night they traveled together.

Her two long legs are extremely enchanting, like two big white pythons, and her whole body is like a female leopard, very tempting.

Her type is somewhat similar to Yanzhi in Winter, but Yanzhi is more mature and not as sharp as Minghe.

Minghe is younger and his body is full of vitality.

Especially last night, in Tongfu Inn, the two of them fought until dawn.

After being captured, a wild woman like Minghe actually seemed very docile.

After all, Chen Wang stayed there until her eyes rolled back and she passed out last night before he stopped.

That's why Minghe had such a shy reaction when Chen Wang mentioned Tongfu Inn.

At this time, the two of them went up the mountain.

After tossing and turning for many days, both of them looked dusty, but their eyes became brighter.

Minghe was still full of wildness, wearing a tight suit, standing straight, with a tight abdomen and clothes sticking tightly to his body, showing his moving vitality.

This is not the kind of physical charm that a rich girl sitting at home can possess.

They climbed up the mountain and only saw a young man coming down halfway up the mountain.

The young man had his hands in his sleeves, looking very delicate.

Different from the desolate appearance of the entire mountain, he seemed to be a nobleman from a wealthy family.
When he saw Chen Wangminghe and the others, he politely asked, "I wonder what brings you to the Wu Family Sword Tomb?"

After Chen Wang and Ming He introduced themselves, the young man looked calm and said softly, "It turns out that you are Xiao Wuping."

Obviously, although the Wu family sword tomb is located in a remote corner, it is very well-informed.

Naturally, they also knew about the small military evaluations set up by the imperial court.

Chen Wang said: "I went up the mountain to seek the secret book of the Martial Saint and explore the mysteries of martial arts."

The young man smiled and said, "So Master Chen is here to duel with swords. Please follow me."

"Is it that direct?"

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows and thought,
"Is that what I meant?"

But he didn't refuse. If he didn't show some strength by going up the mountain, he wouldn't be taken seriously by others.

Chen Wang followed the young man in blue all the way to a pavilion.

This pavilion is called Wenjian Pavilion. There are three men in front of it, one thin, one fat and one short.

The young man in green said with a smile: "Since you are a guest of Xiaowu Ping, please ask Master Chen to pick someone to fight with. If you win, I will take you to continue climbing the mountain."

Chen Wang asked: "What if it fails?"

The young man in blue said, "If you lose, you will have to follow the agreement and become a disciple of the Wu family. You will not be allowed to leave for the rest of your life without permission."

Chen Wang nodded and looked at the three people.

These three people looked ordinary, but just standing there, the aura they exuded was very shocking, and they were definitely not ordinary people.

Minghe didn't come here to compete in sword fighting, but he became nervous unconsciously at this moment.

The three of them stood there, with sword energy flowing through their bodies.
Goose bumps appeared on her skin, as if a sword would cut her throat at any moment!

When Minghe saw the thin man clearly, he exclaimed,
"West Mountain Gate, Gu Hengbo!"

She looked at the thin man in the middle with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

Chen Wang asked, "Is this person famous?"

Ming He was surprised and asked, "You haven't heard of his name?"

Chen Wang shook his head.
"I'm from a small place, and I've only learned some tricks."

Ming He had long been accustomed to Chen Wang's way of speaking, but he was still somewhat shocked.
"Gu Hengbo was the most dazzling genius of Xishan Sect 20 years ago. He had already cultivated to the Xiantian level at the age of 24 and defeated four great masters in a row. But when he was at his most dazzling, he disappeared. Xishan Sect even mobilized many people to look for him. This incident also became an unsolved case in the martial arts world. Who would have thought... he was actually in the Wu family!"

"My master has been looking for him for seven years. How could I not know him?"

Chen Wang was a little surprised.

He thought that the challenge he would encounter as soon as he got up the mountain would be a nobody, but he didn't expect that it would be such a famous figure in the world, who was already a top master in the world twenty years ago.

Twenty years have passed. What level has he reached?
The somewhat skinny man had an unsheathed long sword on his waist, casually inserted into his waist. This look made Chen Wang feel somewhat familiar.

Ning Haiping, who ranked tenth on Xiaowu Review, is dressed like this.

"What is his relationship with Xiao Ning?"

Chen Wang had a drink with Ning Haiping. He had strong sociability and soon they became brothers and friends.

Just as this thought came to mind, the man said calmly: "Boxwood bow, wind-breaking arrows, your master's surname is Yelu?"

Ming He nodded, stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said, "Yes, that's right. I greet Senior Gu!"

Gu Hengbo shook his head.

"Gu Hengbo died as soon as I entered the Sword Tomb. Now my name is Seventeen."

Minghe was stunned.

She didn't know the internal relationships of the Wu family sword tomb.

Minghe's master lived in the border for many years, and later traveled around the world. He also had some feelings for Gu Hengbo.
However, Gu Hengbo suddenly disappeared. The woman was heartbroken, so she left the retreat and lived in the grassland and desert.

Minghe smiled and said, "Master would be very happy if he knew the whereabouts of the senior."

Gu Hengbo shook his head.
"Don't tell her."

After he said this, he stopped talking and returned to his previous state, calm and composed.

The handsome young man smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, what do you think? Who do you choose as your swordfighting partner?" Chen Wang blinked.

"Can I choose you?"

The young man laughed and said, "Mr. Chen, you are joking. Mr. Chen is the number one in the Xiaowu Review. How can I be worthy of fighting with Mr. Chen?"

Chen Wang said: "Is it against the rules?"

The young man in blue nodded and said, "It's against the rules."

Chen Wang felt a little regretful.

"It's a pity... You can't pick on the weak."

The young man in blue remained calm.
"Please choose someone, sir."

Chen Wang pointed at one.

"I've never seen anyone so fat, so I chose him."

The young man in blue smiled and said, "You have good taste, sir."

The fat man took a step forward upon hearing this.
This man has a very sturdy build. Although he is fat, he is the kind of fat that is strong.

Chen Wang could see that his sleeves were rolled up, revealing some knotted arm muscles.
The sword on his waist was similar to an ordinary person's sword, not particularly large.

However, given this man's physique, even using a warhammer or a giant axe would be nothing special, as he has the physique of an unparalleled warrior.

The fat man bowed with a masterly demeanor and said in a deep voice, "Please."

.........

On a hill in the distance, there stood a young man with a beautiful woman beside him.

The young man smiled and said, "Aunt, this man has a good eye and chose Zhu Yun."

The young man looked nonchalant, and the sword on his waist was also very ordinary, like the lowest quality iron sword.

This beautiful woman looked very ordinary. Not only that, there was a sword scar on her face, which ruined her originally ordinary face and made her look a little fierce.

The Wu family is full of experts, and there is a sword master in every generation.
The sword master of this generation is this carefree young man named Wu Ying.

This man is extremely talented and has a high aptitude for martial arts. He is valued the most by his great-grandfather, the martial saint, the head of the Wu family.

As for the sons and grandsons of the Martial Saint, he didn't take them seriously at all. They were all a bunch of idiots.

Even though these people were a bunch of fools in his mouth, they were all well-known masters in the martial arts world and were incredibly powerful.

The woman next to him is his aunt.

There are many women in the Wu family who practice sword, but only a handful of them can reach her level.

The woman shook her head and said, "Three years ago, Zhu Yun and Gu Hengbo had a sword fight. Guess what the result was?"

The young man named Wu Ying blinked his eyes.

"Gu Hengbo won?"

After all, Gu Hengbo was the most outstanding genius of Xishan Sect at that time, and the future sect leader.

It is an extremely shocking thing that such a person works as a sword slave in the Wu family sword tomb.

The woman shook her head: "Gu Hengbo only withstood three strikes from his sword."

"What?" Wu Ying said in a lost voice.

The woman raised a smile.
"The heroes of Wangyue Tower see him off, and the young man in white travels westward."

"This matter has been widely circulated for a long time. He came here for the Wu family's sword tomb's unique skills, so someone in the family deliberately made things difficult for him."

"I just didn't expect that he had such a good eye and picked Zhu Yun directly."

Wu Ying blinked his eyes, excited.

Gu Hengbo could only withstand three strikes from Zhu Yun. At his age, he shouldn't be able to withstand even one strike.

"It's a pity that there are no heroes to help young people become famous. This little martial arts review should have been my number one, but my great grandfather wouldn't let me go down the mountain to earn it!"

The woman said calmly:

"Aren't you going to say you want to be the number one in martial arts?"

"Top five, top five, I was just kidding. There are so many heroes in the world, I will be satisfied if I can be ranked in the top five in martial arts evaluation."

"It's just a matter of walking around in the Xiaowu Review first. Wouldn't it be nice to be number one?"

“It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.”

The woman smiled and said, "What a success!"

Wu Ying said: "It is said that this Chen Wang has a great sun true energy, which is extremely domineering and even innate demons can hardly match him."

The woman said calmly: "If whoever has stronger Qi is powerful, then we don't need to practice martial arts, we just need to practice Qi."

Wu Ying smiled.
"That's the truth."

The Wu family's swordsmanship is to defeat the strong with the weak, and there are also many ways to break the true qi with the sword.

Moreover, the sword energy is sharp and has a special restraining power against demons. This is also the reason why the Wu family can stand firm in the world.

Every year, the Wu family sends some swordsmen out to slay demons and eliminate evil. Otherwise, they would be considered heretics in the Chu Dynasty and would not be tolerated by the general public.

Therefore, the Wu family could neither curry favor with the imperial court nor maintain an aloof attitude, becoming a martial arts holy place in the world.

Wu Ying looked at the iron sword on Zhu Yun's waist and said enviously, "I have been coveting his Dragon Sparrow Sword for so long, but I didn't expect it to fall into his hands!"

The woman said, "The previous generation of swordsmiths spent a full ten days forging this sword. This black iron sword is extremely heavy, and only someone with natural supernatural powers like him can wield it. Forget it."

Wu Ying sighed.

The two of them were calm and indifferent, not caring about Chen Wang's victory or defeat at all.
Or in other words, in their eyes, there is no such thing as winning or losing for Chen Wang.

"There will be another young man in the Sword Tomb. But it's better this way, otherwise it would be too boring if there were only old men."

Both of them looked down the mountain.

Chen Wang's previous understanding was wrong. Not everyone who came to the Wu family to challenge and lost was qualified to be a sword slave. Only some extraordinary people could be sword slaves.
Some of those with limited skills died on the spot. The Wu family has never been afraid of making enemies.

At this time, the sword energy around Zhu Yun was moving without wind.

Chen Wang found it interesting. He was also a sword practitioner and had cultivated the Great River Sword Intent. He was very interested in the fat man's sword energy.

This person's sword energy contains a special murderous aura, which is very sharp. If an evil thing touches it, it will cause serious damage.
Chen Wang has a deep understanding of this.

As Zhu Yun took a step forward, his aura changed completely. Originally, he did not look dangerous at all. He was just a smiling, generous middle-aged fat uncle.

But after he took a step forward, the wind around him seemed to freeze.

With a flash of sword light, the black iron sword at his waist was unsheathed.

This sword is extremely heavy, and the Wu family's sword-making method is even older than their sword-practicing skills.

The swordsmith of the previous generation spent ten days and ten nights forging this sword in his old age, which shows how extraordinary this sword is.

Now, the master of his generation, Zhu Yun, can strike with the power of thunder with his sword. Man and sword become one, and he slashes towards Chen Wang with the sword!
There was no momentum like a violent storm at this moment, but the sword energy was very condensed, and it slashed towards Chen Wang's eyebrows like a white line.

Chen Wang only felt that the black iron sword was getting bigger and bigger in his eyes.

Then he threw a punch!
If Zhu Yun's sword is thunder, then Chen Wang's fist is the sun!

The sun rises and everything melts away.

Boom!

A loud bang!
Accompanied by the dazzling light, even Gu Hengbo and the sword slave next to him closed their eyes.

The young swordsman and the woman on the top of the mountain also squinted their eyes and could not see anything clearly.

When the bright light faded, only the young man was left standing there, without moving a single step.

Zhu Yun, who could kill innate demons with one sword, was already flying backwards.
It smashed a sword-asking pavilion.

Trapped in the ruins, not knowing whether he is alive or dead!

Everyone was shocked!
