Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 94: Mysterious Frost Evil
Another year's time has come, with heavy snow and frost filling the sky.

The Great Snow Mountain is cold all year round, but after all, it is still in the cycle of nature, and the celestial phenomena still change with the seasons.

Therefore, every time winter and spring meet, there are always heavy snow in the mountains, covering the vast snow-capped mountains with layer upon layer of white.

But even so, it has been decades since we have seen such a severe snowstorm. I wonder if someone has poked a hole in the sky? The snowstorm was so severe that it lasted for 30 to 40 days without a break.

As a result, Tianchi Mountain became deserted. Because of such bad weather, when one has no intention of practicing, even making a pot of hot tea and sitting quietly watching the snow scene is definitely more romantic than going out in the snow.

But some people are different, or rather, they don't care about this.

Outside the cliff, there was heavy snow, but two sword lights were flying through it, and the fight continued.

One of the sword lights was condensed, grand and clear, and it moved back and forth with great force, not only to subdue the enemy, but also to shatter the snow and wind in the sky into pieces.

However, the other one was not inferior either. This sword light was restrained and flexible, and it moved around like a fish in water. Not only that, although its power was not obvious, it could repeatedly force the enemy back, as if the grand sword light was also quite afraid of it.

Because it knows very well that if it reveals a flaw, like at this moment -

As the mighty sword light moved, there seemed to be a brief moment of instability, which was caught by the opponent.

Then in an instant, another sword light suddenly turned from a fish into a dragon, and a raging flame wave rolled up. A fire dragon took shape in the void, suddenly broke through the heavy wind and snow, and suddenly bit towards the former!
The former suddenly shook slightly, revealing a profound change, and turned into two sword lights, one real and one virtual, which kept changing. The fire dragon seemed to be unable to determine the real and the virtual, and its momentum slowed down.

But at this moment, two sword lights surrounded the fire dragon and attacked it together. However, the fire dragon seemed to be prepared. It suddenly stretched its head and bit the sword light in front of it, tearing a hole, but it was not in a hurry and swung its tail fiercely to whip backwards!
This whip collided directly with the real sword attacking from behind!
...Buzz buzz buzz!
There was a subtle clanging sound in the air, which then intensified until it merged into a buzzing wave that actually covered up the howling wind. Sword energy also burst out, tearing a hole of dozens of feet in radius in the flying snow.

"Whoosh-!"

The huge sword light retreated violently and shot towards Fengxue. Then a voice suddenly came out from it, saying: "Junior Brother Xu, your progress is getting faster and faster. Even if I don't suppress my cultivation now, I am afraid I may not be able to defeat you."

In mid-air, the fire dragon rolled up its body and turned. As the flames dissipated, a figure appeared. Wasn't it Xu Heng?

Looking closely, there were some changes in his features, he looked more mature and taller.

——It turns out that this is the seventh year that Xu Heng has come to Tianchi Mountain.

Xu Heng left home when he was less than sixteen years old. After many years of wandering, he came to Tianchi Mountain when he was only seventeen, and his face still looked quite childish.

However, seven years passed in the blink of an eye. Even if the appearance of a person undergoing spiritual practice changes slowly, he had already grown into a young man, and his appearance and demeanor had not diminished in the slightest. Standing tall in the wind and snow, he looked like a jade tree supporting the sky or a fairy mountain shrouded in the mist.

"Thanks to my senior brother's concession, we are able to just tie."

Not long after Xu Heng's voice was heard, Zheng Jian came out from the wind and snow, raised his eyes to glance at him, but couldn't help shaking his head.

In recent years, Xu Heng's swordsmanship has changed far more than his appearance.

Although Zheng Jian only exchanged sword skills with Xu Heng once every three to five months due to his practice, he could clearly feel his rapid progress every time.

Until half a year ago, Zheng Jian realized that if he did not use his condensed magic power, he could only end up in a draw with Xu Heng.

Since then, although there was no winner in the two battles, Zheng Jian felt that the pressure was getting greater and greater when facing Xu Heng. If he was even slightly careless, he would immediately fall into a disadvantage, or even be defeated.

Zheng Jian even had a vague feeling that the reason Xu Heng didn't defeat him in these two sword-fighting exchanges might have been just because of his face.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jian couldn't help but feel a little dejected. Although he claimed that his swordsmanship was "nothing special", in fact, all those he compared himself with were famous swordsmanship masters, which showed that he was not without arrogance in his heart.

But now that I think about it, I have learned the true teachings from my mentor and practiced hard for more than ten years to master this swordsmanship, but Xu Heng has caught up with me in just two or three years, and is even on the verge of surpassing me...

Zheng Jian shook his head and said, "Junior brother, you are too modest. Your talent in swordsmanship is unique in my life... If you can condense your evil spirit and refine your energy in the future, there will be only a handful of young people in the world who can compare with you in swordsmanship."

Xu Heng had no idea what Zheng Jian was thinking, but his swordsmanship was indeed improving rapidly.

He did have some outstanding talent in this area, but what was more important was that he never gave up on studying the "Fire Dragon Sword Art" and the "Yuanwei Xianhua Xuanhong Sword Art".

Although the creator of this sword art claimed that he was not a talent in swordsmanship, he was able to create such a supreme sword art as the "Yuanwei Xianhua Xuanhong Sword Art", which shows how high his achievements were. In addition, many aspects of the "Fire Dragon Sword Art" he created were indeed derived from it. When Xu Heng first tried it, it was particularly difficult and even hindered his progress. However, when he showed some signs of getting started, his progress was suddenly very different.

Of course, this is not something that can be told to outsiders.

Xu Heng smiled and asked, "Brother, you should be preparing to practice the Qigong these days, right?"

"Yes, there will be no chance to exchange sword skills with Junior Brother in the next three to five years." Zheng Jian said: "But I think Junior Brother is not far from Condensing the Evil."

"Maybe." Xu Heng didn't say much, just said: "In any case, I would like to wish you success in refining the Qi."

Zheng Jian nodded slightly, and his eyes seemed to glance aside, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "It seems that Junior Brother has other distinguished guests to visit, so I won't bother you anymore."

After saying this, he bowed, said he was leaving, and then he rode his sword and disappeared into the wind and snow.

Xu Hengyao saw him off, then he withdrew his gaze and floated down to Yutai Peak. Sure enough, there was a woman waiting there.

The girl looked very young, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. With a little makeup on her face, she was already very pretty. When she saw Xu Heng coming, her eyes seemed to be filled with spring water.

Xu Heng secretly sighed in his heart, then he lowered his body, bowed and called out, "Senior Sister Bai, why are you here?"

The woman took out an embroidered bag and said with a smile, "I'm here to give some elixirs to my junior brother."

When Xu Heng was pondering over how to refuse, the woman stuffed the embroidered bag into his hand and said, "The herbs have been delivered. I know that my junior brother is practicing hard, so there is no need to see me off." After saying that, she really floated away.

Xu Heng looked at the embroidered bag in his hand and couldn't help shaking his head.

The woman's name is Bai Zhishuang. She likes to cultivate magical herbs, and she especially likes a kind of frost fungus. As for why, it can be seen from her name.

And Bai Zhishuang was the senior sister who had given Xu Heng Shuangzhi six or seven years ago.

Because of this incident, he came into contact with this senior sister. Later, he learned that she was interested in cultivating spiritual medicines. Thinking that he still owed her a small favor, he told her the location of Bailongtan.

He didn't care much about the matter in the first place, and Bai Zhishuang insisted on paying him the legal fee as the capital for "renting" Bailongtan, so Xu Heng had no objection to it.

It's just that the matter between us has been settled, but I didn't expect that since then, whenever the elixir matured, Bai Zhishuang would always come to see me off.

It just so happened that Xu Heng was thinking about refining Yin Hua Dan at that time, and he actually needed some medicinal materials. He originally wanted to exchange them for magic money, but she refused to accept it, and in the end it ended up like this.

Xu Heng weighed the embroidered bag in his hand and scanned it with his spiritual sense. Sure enough, they were all medicinal materials for refining Yin Hua Dan. He could only say something in secret.

"From now on, I will no longer accept money from her for the White Dragon Pond Dharma."

Xu Heng decided not to dwell on it any longer. Just as he was about to put away the elixir and enter the cave, he suddenly had an idea: "Today is really unusual. Where did so many distinguished guests come from?"

He looked back and saw a bright light flashing in the wind and snow. It soon reached the Yutai Peak and fell in front of him. It was Liu Zhengqi who appeared.

"Senior Brother Liu." Xu Heng showed a surprised look on his face. He raised his hand and bowed. Then he asked, "Senior Brother, you are here to visit me. What do you want from me?"

Liu Zhengqi smiled slightly and asked, "Can't I find you to watch the snow and make tea when I have nothing to do?"

Xu Heng couldn't help but smile as well, but responded, "Brother is very busy, and he has never had time to visit me in the past three years."

"Hahaha." Liu Zhengqi was not annoyed, but laughed a few times before saying, "Okay, Junior Brother, you guessed right. I came here for good news."

"Three years ago, you helped the sect get rid of the harm caused by the Heavenly General. The sect should have rewarded you, but because it was difficult to determine the severity of the reward, it was delayed for a long time and was only decided now."

"Oh?" Xu Heng couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Please give me some advice, Senior Brother."

Liu Zhengqi suddenly shook his hand, unfolded a decree, and read: "...Disciple Xu Heng has made great contributions in eliminating harm, and shall be granted the power of 'Xuan Shuang Yin Sha'."
