I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 226 Defeat the Grandmaster!
Yao Yilong's brows twitched.

Although his injury was not serious, it did slightly affect the flexibility of his dominant hand. But for a master, holding the sword with his left hand and dealing with a few juniors would not have much impact.

That's how it should be.

However, thinking of the seemingly invincible axe just now, Yao Yilong's heart suddenly trembled.

He actually felt a little scared.

It is not a rumor that Xie Yuan can injure the Grandmaster;

It's not just the Grandmaster that was hurt, this rumor actually concealed his real danger.

As a person who has reached the second level of transformation, he has truly mastered the ability to seriously injure or even kill the Grandmaster!

Although the axe is heavy and the moves are fierce, it is not easy to hit him when there is a huge gap in cultivation level. However, coupled with his unpredictable and unbreakable body skills, the degree of danger suddenly increases.

If I had been a little slower just now, I would have had to desperately return to my ancestral home to heal my wounds in order to save my life!

Yao Yilong clenched his left hand.

Before coming here, he never thought that he would almost fail miserably when dealing with several young people in the second transformation realm.

Feeling his heart pounding, the old master, who hadn't experienced this for many years, found it very strange and felt ashamed and annoyed.

And underneath that feeling, there is a trace of fear and dread that cannot be expressed to others and that one does not even want to notice.

Not only was it because they almost capsized just now, but they were also wary of Xie Yuan himself.

He has this method now, what if he waits until he reaches the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation? Isn't it possible that he could really kill himself?
And given some time, when Xie Yuan also becomes a master, considering the current situation of the Yao family, who can rival him?
Yao Yilong's mind raced, and as he thought of this, he looked at Xie Yuan flying backwards with a deep gaze, and moved his knees slightly, trying to catch up with him.

He changed his strategy.

Today he had originally planned to capture Xie Yuan alive, but now he was prepared to kill him directly unless he could easily capture him and bring him back home. He would not leave any trouble or opportunity for the future!

Yao Yilong had just taken a step when he unexpectedly felt a sharp sword energy suddenly coming from the side. It was so pure and powerful that he could not ignore it.

He swung the sword with his left hand, dispersing the clear light with one blow. Then, with a thought, he slightly turned sideways and dodged the Arhat Iron Fist coming from the other side.

Yao Yilong missed the golden Arhat body head-on. He swayed his body and bypassed the two of them. Just as he was about to fly into the air, he suddenly stopped.

Xie Yuan disappeared again.

At this time, Xie Yuan followed the shadows on the street and quietly returned to a place not far from the battle group, his face a bloodshot red.

While still in mid-air, he swallowed the prepared small pill into his mouth and refined it at the fastest speed. At this time, the effect of the medicine had not yet worn off, so his face was flushed red.

Although the Grandmaster's attack was painful, he had anticipated this. He first took the Vajra Pill to enhance his own strength and defense, and then prepared the Small Huan Dan in advance to suppress his injuries. At this moment, he instantly recovered 80% of his combat power.

While Huijue and Zhang Junyi were blocking Yao Yilong for a moment, Xie Yuan hid in a place where it was difficult to detect, as if he had disappeared from the scene.

His Sky Hidden Art had already reached a level where even a Grandmaster would have difficulty finding his trace. If Yao Yilong was distracted for a moment and failed to lock onto Xie Yuan's aura, he would have to search all over again.

Xie Yuan stood quietly in the shadow where the moonlight could not reach, holding a huge axe in his hand, slightly tilting his head, and looking at Yao Yilong's figure with his peripheral vision to prevent the master's perception from noticing anything.

Yao Yilong looked around and didn't see Xie Yuan, and he suddenly felt anxious.

This guy won't run away, right?

Yao Yilong felt heavy in his heart. He had personally experienced how dangerous Xie Yuan was.

Originally I thought it was just an ignorant lunatic from a remote area of ​​Yunzhou, who could be eliminated with a little attention and was not worth mentioning; but after making contact with him, I found that it was clearly a huge trouble!

Also on the field were the youngest monk from the Bodhi Court of Prajna Temple and the closed disciple of the head of Xuanzhen Sect. However, even the threat from these two people was not as great as the one posed by Xie Yuan to himself.

Yao Yilong has been a master for many years. The last time he felt such a threat, I'm afraid some of his juniors were not even born yet...

If such an enemy with unlimited potential escapes, the already precarious Yao family will be unable to sleep or eat.

Yao Yilong swung his sword and fought off Huijue and Zhang Junyi who were attacking again. The Taoist priest almost couldn't hold his sword anymore, and Huijue flew back, crashing down the wall next to him with a loud bang.

He unconsciously increased his strength, feeling extremely impatient, and said sternly:
"You two, I respect your sect masters, but you keep being ungrateful. Today I am here to teach you a lesson on behalf of your masters. I don't think they will say anything more!"

Huijue coughed twice and crawled up from the ruins. The Arhat's appearance was so golden that it was difficult to look at it closely.

He raised one hand and laughed loudly:
"Amitabha! Old man Yao, when my master Zhiling comes, if you tell him this in person, I will consider you a hero."

Zhang Junyi swung his sword in a sword flower and sneered:
"The monk is right. Since you have an opinion and want to ask the parents, I will ask the Taoist priest to come to Jinling to find you when I get back."

Yao Yilong's eyelids jumped. He didn't expect that the two juniors would not buy his tricks at all. Having a grandmaster behind them was more arrogant than anything else.

In the past, it was only the Yao family that took advantage of their power to bully others, but he didn't expect that today they would be bullied by a bigger force, two young men at that, and he could do nothing about it. It was a really bad feeling.

He could only say with a gloomy face:

"You two sects are not the only ones in the world with great masters. The eight great families are all related. Langya and Qinghe also have masters who can discuss Taoism with the two respected masters."

Huijue laughed:
"We are of the same blood? Do you believe that? The one lying there didn't seem to be very friendly to you. His family only has a frail Grandmaster of the Flying Dragon Ranking."

Yao Yilong's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and he did not comment.

His original intention was to ask the two juniors not to interfere. If it was an ordinary second-level transformation, even if his background was huge, he could just ignore it; but he couldn't completely ignore the attacks of these two people. Although they were not a big threat, they were enough to disturb him.

You can't hit me, but you can't ignore me either. Where did Xie Yuan find a shield? It's so annoying!

Yao Yilong's face was very dark, and his eyes roamed around the scene, not missing any fluctuations, for fear that Xie Yuan would escape.

Huijue and Zhang Junyi rushed forward again. Yao Yilong didn't even turn his head. He swung his sword lightly, and the sword energy swept across, repelling the two young men again.

However, after Huijue retreated, there seemed to be a ray of golden light that was dragging slower, just like the flame tail of his golden bell cover, with only a part of it sticking out.

Yao Yilong didn't pay attention at first, but when he turned around and saw the golden light, he discovered a dark figure hidden inside, and a glowing axe had been raised.

!

His pupils shrank, and as he floated backwards, he pointed his sword just right at the black light of the axe blade.

The seemingly light point contained a tremendous force. Xie Yuan felt that the axe was almost pressed to the center of the earth. He shouted, his muscles bulged, and his blood surged. He swung out the power he had accumulated at the last moment!
Yao Yilong's sword was bent extremely hard in an instant, as if it would break at the next moment, causing his retreating figure to be blown by a strong wind and crash directly into the house next door.

Xie Yuan also endured the sword force, his knuckles instantly shattered and bled, and his arms trembled slightly. However, when he saw Yao Yilong crash into the courtyard of the residential building and disappear with a loud bang, his eyes flashed, and he exchanged glances with Huijue and Zhang Junyi, and then disappeared again.

The two men watched the smoke and dust rising from the houses, in which the old master fell and disappeared for a moment, and they were both silent.

They understood what Xie Yuan meant, and continued to create opportunities for him to take the big axe and chop suddenly.

Huijue had experienced it before and knew that the axe move was extremely powerful, but Zhang Junyi was inexplicably surprised. He didn't know what kind of move Xie Yuan had that allowed him to sneak attack the master and succeed so many times!

According to what he thought, the two of them would create an opportunity for Xie Yuan to escape. Unexpectedly, he seemed unwilling to give up easily and was still thinking of taking Mr. Qian away?

Facing a master so bravely, Zhang Junyi, who was usually very reckless, felt that Xie Yuan was a little too reckless.

In the smoke and dust, Yao Yilong soared into the sky, his face so dark that it seemed like water was about to drip out.

Xie Yuan's sneak attack was unpredictable, but a master was a master after all, and he would not allow the axe to chop him down at random.

But in such a hurry, Yao Yilong still absorbed all the power of the axe, and was blown away when he was about to retreat.

Although he was not seriously injured, it was still extremely insulting. Even if they were fighting at the same level, it was rare for him to be beaten so badly, not to mention a young warrior at the second level of transformation. If he told others about it, not only him, but the entire Yao family would be laughed at.

If it weren't for the fact that neither the monk nor the Taoist priest could be touched, Yao Yilong would have thought of silencing them... Especially when he saw the golden-haired big monk with a half-smile on his face, he felt even more depressed.

This can't go on any longer. Yao Yilong doesn't even know what kind of embarrassment he'll get into if he continues to argue.

He stood high in the air and easily dispersed the energy from the two men. His eyes covered the area within dozens of feet around him, and he looked specifically at those areas where the moonlight was invisible and blurry.

Suddenly, Yao Yilong's eyes flashed, and he swung his sword fiercely towards a corner of the wall. A stream of sword energy shot out, instantly blasting a big hole there.

Seeing that there was no movement, he snorted coldly, turned to another eaves that seemed to be there, and swung his sword casually. Another sword energy blasted a big hole in the house.

However, neither of the two swords was where Xie Yuan was. Yao Yilong was half guessing and half guessing, just trying.

Seeing that his two swords missed, he was not discouraged. He thought Xie Yuan must be hiding nearby. This kid was so careless that he didn't even think of running away.

Then don't run!

Yao Yilong kept swinging his sword, and the sword energy turned to the hidden places around to greet. As long as he thought it might be Xie Yuan hiding place, he would first send a ray of sword energy.

In an instant, several houses in the surrounding area were destroyed, and screams and even wails could be heard faintly from inside!
Huijue and Zhang Junyi both frowned, and Zhang Junyi shouted:
"You are so brave, old dog!"

He swung his sword, but due to the distance between them, it posed almost no threat to Yao Yilong.

The old master casually struck back and dispersed Zhang Junyi's sword energy, saying calmly:
"You didn't surrender, and you brought trouble to the people of Jinling. I wonder if the teacher will blame you behind your back?"

Huijue's eyes shone with golden light, and he shouted angrily as never before:
"Amitabha! Yao Yilong, what kind of perverted logic is this! As a member of a noble family in Jinling, you don't protect the people, but instead cry thief!"

Yao Yilong laughed and said:
"If you hadn't been causing trouble, how could this have happened? It is precisely because we are in Jinling that we must capture Xie Yuan, the wanted criminal of the imperial court, as soon as possible to prevent him from continuing to do evil. This is the right thing to do to protect the people. As for the damage during the capture, it was naturally caused by your obstruction!"

The two were both shocked and angry, but Yao Yilong fully demonstrated his master's power, standing still in mid-air. The two could not stop him, so they could only block the raging sword energy everywhere and damage the houses.

However, if they patched up the east wall, they would leak the west wall. Yao Yilong was high in the air, and his sword energy was radiating everywhere. How could they stop him? In just a moment, half of the street was almost reduced to ruins.

The two were shocked and angry, and they were also deep in their hearts, knowing that Yao Yilong was serious. Even if he had a twisted reason, the Yao family controlled Jinling, but it would be a big trouble to deal with the aftermath. But even if it cost such a huge price, he was determined to find Xie Yuan and would never let him leave. His determination was obvious at a glance.

It's just ridiculous that, as the actual masters of Jinling, the Yao family is destroying things everywhere, but the two youngsters are there to put out fires, as if they are being threatened by taking the local people as hostages.

Yao Yilong's sword energy was flying in the air, and he looked around coldly. Although some of the sword energy was taken by the two people below, he only struck once to confirm that Xie Yuan was not there, and he would not destroy it again.

He didn't mean to hurt the people, but he didn't really care. To him, none of this mattered.

In the eyes of the high-ranking aristocratic families, the common people are just like cattle and sheep. Although they have value, their current value is obviously not greater than finding Xie Yuan.

Assets like cattle, sheep, and crops can be harvested one after another; and if threats like Xie Yuan's are not suppressed when they are insignificant, they may affect their crop harvesting in the future.

The aristocratic families are nothing more than farmers, they just use the world as their fields and what they grow are the common people.

Yao Yilong's eyes flashed, and he plowed almost the entire block, but saw no movement.

He almost began to doubt in his heart whether Xie Yuan had left.
But his face was stern and he remained calm. He turned in another direction and started swinging the sword in his hand again.

Just as he started to destroy again, Yao Yilong seemed to catch a glimpse of a shadow from the corner of his eye.

He turned his head suddenly and saw Xie Yuan leaping high from a roof, flying into the air, holding the axe above his head with both hands.

Behind Xie Yuan was a silver moon with a missing corner. The cold white moonlight was reflected on the sharp blade of the axe, as if it had fallen from the sky and was slashing towards Yao Yilong.

Yao Yilong's pupils shrank, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he laughed happily:
"I finally lost my patience!"

This distance allowed him to notice in advance that no matter how powerful Xie Yuan's axe skills were, he couldn't do anything to him!
Xie Yuan's eyes widened and he shouted:

"Stop it, old thief!"

The damage his axe caused to Yao Yillong in the air was limited, but how could Xie Yuan just sit there and watch him destroying things everywhere and innocent people wailing?

"The worm shakes the tree!"

Yao Yilong sneered, and pointed out his sword like a poisonous snake, striking Xie Yuan in the ribs in an instant!

Xie Yuan felt as if time had slowed down for a second, as if he could clearly see the downturned corners of Yao Yilong's mouth and the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes;

There was a golden light in Huijue's eyes on the ground, and they seemed to be slowly widening. Zhang Junyi also looked anxious and reached into his arms.

There were also people in the houses nearby, people were screaming and wailing, babies were crying, and cries for help were endless...

Everything was clear, and Xie Yuan seemed to have taken the entire surrounding environment into his heart in an instant. When a gust of wind blew, he seemed to feel the subtle ups and downs of the air, as if he had become a part of the surroundings.

Xie Yuan suddenly lost his mind, thinking back to the time when he was on the boat to Jinling, when he had merged with the waves, and he seemed to have had a similar feeling. He let things flow, as if he had merged into the world.

And in this world, the most conspicuous thing is the sword that is stabbing at you.

Even in slowed-down time, the sword was so fast and so sharp.

But Xie Yuan's heart moved, and he was fully aware of the trajectory of the sword, as if he could see the flow of energy on it, and he could clearly see where it was strong and where it was weak.

The Grandmaster's sword moves were indeed extraordinary, with almost no flaws.

But he is not perfect after all, there are still traces to follow.

Xie Yuan felt as if his sword heart had merged with the wonderful perception. At this moment, he could even see the master's sword moves clearly. So, he turned his hand slightly as if by inspiration, and knocked the axe blade against the long sword from the side.

Time returned to normal, the long sword flashed like lightning, but Xie Yuan's axe hit the middle of the sword blade at a moderate speed.

With a ding sound, Yao Yilong's fatal sword was suddenly deflected.

He felt a tremendous force coming from the sword, as if he couldn't hold the sword when he first started practicing martial arts and almost dropped it!
Yao Yilong was horrified. Most of his strength was poured into this sword, so how could it be deflected by the axe of a mere Qi and Blood Transformation Realm?

However, before he had time to think about it, the axe blade with faint light took advantage of the open chest and was already in front of him.

Yao Yilong's face was solemn, his expression changed, and suddenly he let out a long breath.

The air in front of him suddenly became thick, and Xie Yuan felt as if he had cut through a thick air shield, just as if he had cut through the protective blood and energy at close range when he had killed Deng Wan.

This is the last line of defense. As long as we break through this layer, the master will be honest with us!

Xie Yuan shouted again, increased his strength, and poured all his blood and energy into the axe in his hand. He slowly and arduously cut through Yao Yilong's protective energy and finally reached his chest.

With a dull sound, Yao Yilong's gorgeous robe was cut open, revealing the golden soft armor underneath, which blocked the axe at the end of its strength.

Yao Yilong's face turned pale, he snorted heavily, and slapped out with his palm, instantly knocking Xie Yuan to the ground and smashing him into a deep pit.

He swung his sword, and the energy he had just gathered in his body burst out, smashing down the houses beneath his feet.
Then Yao Yilong shrank his body and was about to catch up with Jie Xieyuan, but he heard a clear and angry voice from below:

"Fuck it, I can't stand it anymore!"

He turned his head subconsciously, but saw Zhang Junyi pulling out a piece of purple talisman paper, throwing it into the air, and then piercing it directly with a peach wood sword.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the night sky, and a huge electric snake coiled around the peach wood sword, like a magic weapon of the God of Thunder.

"Master, help me!"

Zhang Jun shouted loudly and swung the wooden sword into the air. A bolt of lightning crossed the sky and earth and hit Yao Yilong directly in mid-air!

Yao Yilong's expression changed drastically, and he was about to dodge, but the shadow of a pagoda suddenly appeared on his body, causing him to freeze.

Huijue's tall body was shining with golden light, his pupils were pure gold, and he was holding a shining pagoda in his hand. There seemed to be a small figure inside, it was Yao Yilong!
However, being able to hold the Grandmaster still was obviously extremely exhausting for Huijue. Covered by the golden light, his face turned slightly pale, and he probably couldn't hold on for long.

But even this moment was enough. Zhang Junyi's lightning accurately hit the stagnant Yao Yilong, and electric fire instantly ignited on his body, like a torch in mid-air.

Huijue's pagoda disappeared in an instant, golden beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he stared at the fire man in the air.

"Taoist, is your sword reliable?"

"The Divine Thunder Talisman given by the old Taoist priest should have some effect."

The wooden sword in Zhang Junyi's hand was still flashing with electric light, and he spoke with awe-inspiring power.

"Divine Thunder Talisman... that's good."

Huijue was a little tired. His Arhat Dharma body had consumed a lot of energy, and trapping the Grand Master with magic weapons had drained all of his energy. He could hardly hold on now.

Zhang Junyi was about to speak when his eyes suddenly fixed and he found that the flames in the sky were extinguished instantly.

Yao Yilong showed up, his clothes were torn and charred all over, his black hair had blown apart, with sparks on the ends, and he looked extremely miserable.

But his expression was cold, and the energy and blood in his body were almost visible, illuminating the surrounding air red and slightly distorted.

Yao Yilong glanced at the solemn Huijue and Zhang Junyi with an extremely cold gaze, and his bone-chilling voice resounded through the world:
"Is this your last resort?"

Zhang Junyi and Huijue both pursed their lips and said nothing. Yao Yilong sneered and turned his gaze to the deep pit below:
"If that's the case, there's no way to save him.

"Xie Yuan, you are dead today!"

The old man with great momentum pointed his sword and suddenly rushed down.

Zhang Junyi's expression became serious, and he swung the peach wood sword in his hand again, stimulating all the remaining thunder and lightning. Huijue's face also turned pale, and the phantom of the pagoda reappeared in his hand, covering Yao Yilong.

But this time Yao Yilong was prepared. A ring on his hand suddenly exploded, emitting a circle of white light that blocked all the shadows and electric lights outside.

magic weapon!

A high-level protective treasure that can block their means!

Huijue and Zhang Junyi's faces changed drastically. They didn't expect Yao Yilong to use up such a treasure to kill Xie Yuan. After all, this kind of treasure is almost for life-saving, and Yao Yilong could definitely dodge the attack from the two just now.

But he would rather sacrifice this treasure and kill Xie Yuan cleanly and without leaving any trouble.

Both of them were extremely anxious. They had used every possible means they could think of, and there was nothing they could do to help Xie Yuan!
Yao Yilong was furious and tried his best, even against a master. How could Xie Yuan resist?

They watched Yao Yilong rushing towards the deep pit on the ground with a sword in hand, and it seemed that time had slowed down.

Suddenly, Yao Yilong paused, a light flashed on his body, and there seemed to be another sound of something breaking. Then he suddenly moved sideways and out of the pit.

Xie Yuan jumped out, stood on the edge of the pit, and looked at Yao Yilong.

There was a flash of light around Yao Yilong, and his shape kept changing. His speed increased a lot compared to before. Then he retreated instantly and disappeared from the long street in the blink of an eye.

Huijue and Zhang Jun were stunned for a moment and looked at each other, neither of them understanding what was going on.

Why does it look like Xie Yuan jumped out and scared Yao Yilong away?
He doesn’t look ugly, does he?

Xie Yuan held the small sword that contained Li Xingtuo's fleeting sword intent in his hand, quietly looking at the direction where Yao Yilong left, without letting go.

It was the faint sword intent in this small sword that scared away Yao Yilong, who was already badly damaged.

However, this is his last means of saving his life, and he is unwilling to use it lightly if he is not sure.

When he stopped Yao Yilong in the sky before, if it weren't for the sword heart combined with the wonderful perception to swing the sword, he would have used this small sword;
Just now when Yao Yilong attacked, he intended to use the sword intent to end the battle, but Yao Yilong noticed it and directly used a magic weapon that seemed to increase his speed, instantly avoiding the lock of the small sword.

But I saved the treasure.

Seeing Yao Yilong retreat, Xie Yuan glanced at the monk and Taoist priest behind him and sighed:
"Let's go, this place is about to become a stage."

The violent commotion had already attracted the attention of the masters in the city, and there seemed to be several floating figures spying from afar.

However, seeing Zhang Junyi and Huijue coming from obvious places, and seeing Yao Yilong retreating, they did not approach.

Xie Yuan quietly glanced at the figures and saw that they were looking at him with either interest or hidden meaning in their eyes. He just glanced at them one by one, and then left quickly with the two of them without being moved.

The masters in the distance looked around and found it strange that the three young warriors suddenly disappeared while spinning around. However, they just glanced at each other, and the masters from different forces in the huge Jinling Mansion dispersed.

On top of a tall building, a slender and dark shadow stood among several flags. The flags were already glowing slightly, connecting with each other with a mysterious light that seemed ready to be activated at the next moment.

However, she just quietly watched the young man walking away, with a slight smile and a voice full of amazement:
"Is this guy already so powerful?"

With a quick glance, she accurately found Yao Yilon who was fleeing back to Yao Mansion at a rapid speed. She narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, then put away the surrounding flags and disappeared from the tall building.

On the rooftop of the Yunshan Sword Sect's branch, Qin Zhenyang looked at the traces of the battle in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes became a little complicated.

This kid, the master of Moon Slash, thought he was really going to succeed...

Qin Zhenyang sheathed his sword, told Lin Zhen, who was eagerly waiting, and Ning Zi, who was shouting, to go back and rest, and patted Huang Zifeng's shoulder, who had a complicated look in his eyes:

"The Little Hidden Dragon Meeting will be held in a few days, so don't waste your energy."

After persuading his fellow disciples who had different thoughts to think about, Qin Zhenyang went to the kitchen silently to cook medicinal soup, which made the disciple on duty a little curious. Was anyone injured while practicing?
Outside the city of Jinling.

In the secluded farm, Xie Yuan and the other two showed up, looked at each other and smiled.

It's not just about the victory and excitement of the battle, it's not just about the tacit understanding of cooperation between each other, what's more important is the result of the battle.

They, three young warriors who had reached the second level of Qi and Blood Transformation, defeated the Grandmaster!
Huijue put his palms together and chanted the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha! Today I cannot bear to kill any living being, so I will let Yao Yilong go."

Zhang Junyi sneered:
"Monk, you are just a meat shield and you didn't cause any damage. Even if I ask you to kill him, you can't! You still have to rely on my thunder magic!"

Huijue immediately retorted:

"I didn't cry and beg Master to help me. But it's your first time down the mountain, so I understand. But don't cry next time."

Zhang Junyi drew his sword in anger and said:

"Who is crying? I am doing that to increase my momentum, you stinky bald ass don't understand!"

Huijue said with a look of ridicule:

"Look, he's anxious again. He's been hit on the head, and he's getting angry out of shame."

"Alright, alright, don't wake up anyone here."

Seeing the two people quarreling, Xie Yuan hurried to persuade them.

When Zhang Jun heard Xie Yuan's advice, he glared at Huijue:
"I'll give face to Brother Xie Dao and not bother with the thief bald."

"Amitabha, I don't want it."

Zhang Junyi looked at Xie Yuan, hissed, and said excitedly:
"Xie Daoxiong, I never thought that your methods were so extraordinary that you could even make a Grandmaster lose face!"

Xie Yuan said modestly:
"You two have contributed the most. If I had relied on myself, I would have been defeated long ago. Especially the Divine Thunder Talisman, which completely frightened Yao Yilong."

Zhang Junyi shook his head and said fairly:

"I do have the power of a monk to freeze the body. Otherwise, my lightning sword is somewhat similar to your axe, but it does not have your unpredictable body movements. It is powerful but cannot hit you."

"Well, now you know how powerful I am?"

Huijue said with a smile.

Zhang Junyi glared at him and said:

"In the end, it was Brother Xie's tricks that scared him off... Hehe, I won't ask. But your axe skills..."

He hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Although I haven't been practicing for a long time, I have some foresight under the guidance of my master. I have never seen such a high-level and powerful Kung Fu, which even the Grandmaster is very afraid of. I wonder where Brother Xie learned it from?"

Huijue also turned his gaze, looking at Xie Yuan quietly with a pair of pure eyes.

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment and said:

"I figured this out myself while I was chopping wood."

"Understand it yourself?"

Zhang Junyi exclaimed and murmured:
"How could I have comprehended such a magical skill? Brother Xie's talent is truly admirable!"

Seeing Zhang Junyi's look of admiration, Xie Yuan felt a little embarrassed and thought to himself, this should be considered as my own understanding, right?

Well, I figured it out myself, so it’s not a big problem.

Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly:

"Thank you, Brother Daoist. I have always wanted to learn strong martial arts and become a great hero, but unfortunately I was deceived by the old Taoist... and my master took me to the mountains to learn Taoism. Since you created this martial arts yourself, I have an unwelcome request...

"Can I become your disciple and learn this skill? Don't worry, I can exchange it for the Xuanzhen Sect's unique skills, or these two magic talismans."

Seeing Zhang Junyi take out two more magic talismans that caused subtle fluctuations in the surrounding air, and hearing what he said, Xie Yuan and Huijue were both stunned.

Huijue couldn't help but sneer:

"Taoist, are you crazy?"

Xie Yuan also waved his hands repeatedly:
"Brother Zhang, this is inappropriate..."

He wanted the things from Xuanzhen Sect, but seeing that the Taoist priest was confused, he was afraid that he would be hunted down by the masters of Xuanzhen Sect. They might not be as easy to talk to as the people of Jian Sect...

Zhang Jun sighed with regret when he saw his heroic dream shattered. He muttered:

"Alas, no one wants this skill, I am misleading..."

Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Huijue and Zhang Junyi, smiled sincerely and said:
"Thanks to your help, Xie Yuan was able to escape from the Grandmaster's sword today and even had a hearty fight with him!"

Zhang Junyi waved his hand and said excitedly:
"You're right! Joining forces with Brother Xie and the monk, we have actually defeated the Grandmaster! How wonderful! Haha, I'm afraid Yao Yilong will have to lie down for a few months when he goes back."

He swung his fist, and it was obvious that even though he had consumed a magic talisman, he was very satisfied with this battle, which was exactly in line with his imagination of the martial arts world when he first came down the mountain.

"Good! I also feel that I have benefited a lot from working together with the two of you."

Huijue put his palms together and said with a smile. But he sighed again:
"It's a pity that the impact was too wide in the end, and innocent people were hurt."

The other two were silent. Zhang Junyi said fiercely:
"These bastards from the aristocratic families don't take human life seriously!"

Xie Yuan said in a deep voice:
"That's why we have to challenge them and expose their true colors."

Zhang Junyi sighed:

"It's a pity that Yao Yilong caught up with him. After fighting for a long time, I don't know when Mr. Qian escaped..."

Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes:
"It's okay. I've seen his true face. I'll ask someone to investigate which one of the Qian family he is. We'll make a decision later."

The other two nodded, discussed for a few words, and then prepared to go and rest.

The two of them had a powerful backer, so they were not afraid of being tracked. Xie Yuan used the Heavenly Hidden Art to change his appearance and turned out to be a senior disciple of the Sword Sect.

When we were about to part, Huijue smiled and said:

"Thank you, benefactor. See you later. Haha, it should be soon..."

Xie Yuan was confused about what he meant when he heard Zhang Jun say:
"Thank you, Brother Dao. I have another request."

……

After returning to the Sword Sect's villa, Xie Yuan had just laid down in his room when he saw the door open and Qin Zhenyang brought in a bowl of medicinal soup.

"Senior Brother Qin..."

Qin Zhenyang waved his hand and interrupted Xie Yuan:

"Even if it is the ancient Buddhist Xiao Huan Dan, taking it continuously will cause side effects. Take this medicine to relieve your injuries."

Or is the elder brother more careful...

Xie Yuan nodded silently, took the medicine, drank it all in one gulp, and indeed he felt that the pain in his stomach was much better.

It's not easy to fight against the Grandmaster.

Almost every time he was hit, he had to rely on the Small Huandan to recover his energy, otherwise he might not be able to withstand the second attack.

Especially at the end, when he was hit from the sky to the ground, two of his ribs were broken on the spot, and he had to rely on the Xiaohuandan to survive.

Xie Yuan had seen many masters and had personally participated in the battle when Mu Chaoyun was resisting the big flag, but the feeling was completely different from what he was facing.

Only when you truly face the Grandmaster, you will know how big the gap is between you and him.

Almost a casual blow could kill him half of his life. The power of the Grandmaster is so great.

If it weren't for the secret elixir and two invincible gold medal assistants, he would have no way of fighting against the Grandmaster.

Even if it was Mr. Qian who was at the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation, Xie Yuan could not fight him head-on. He had to use the Heavenly Hidden Technique to fight around and look for an opportunity, and then use the Sweeping Thousands of Troops to put an end to him.

Although he has many methods, only this one can be called a killing move, and the reason is all due to his blood and energy realm.

After all, his realm is too low. No matter how powerful his skills are, they are like water without a source and cannot exert their power.

"I felt it when I was fighting Huijue. Now the Golden Bell Cover has become my weakness. The blood energy cultivated by this technique is not advantageous when facing the inheritance of major sects, especially since my realm is lower than theirs."

The Golden Bell Cover is naturally a good magical power in the hands of ordinary warriors, but in front of Xie Yuan's current skills such as the Nine Styles of Cloud Dragon, Sweeping Thousands of Troops, and even the Cloud Mountain Sword Intent Sutra, it has become the shortest part of the wooden barrel, which is very obvious.

"Either improve your realm as quickly as possible, or simply change your cultivation method..."

Xie Yuan was thinking about how to make up for this shortcoming.

"Junior Brother Zhang, did you defeat Yao Yilong?"

Qin Zhenyang interrupted Xie Yuan's thoughts, his eyes flickering.

Xie Yuan was silent for a while.

Although my identity was known to Li Xingtuo and Qin Zhenyang, I felt a little embarrassed to answer like this...

He nodded slowly:
"Huijue and Zhang Junyi contributed a lot."

When Qin Zhenyang heard him admit it himself, he was stunned for a moment, and then he let out a long sigh.

Yesterday he defeated Huijue, today he defeated the Grandmaster, and tomorrow he won whoever he would win, he didn’t even dare to think…

This junior brother is growing too fast.

Xie Yuan was a little surprised:
"Brother Qin, why are you sighing?"

"nothing."

Qin Zhenyang shook his head:

"Did your investigation yield any results?"

Xie Yuan suddenly became solemn, and recounted the conversation he heard in the study of Yao Mansion, and then said regretfully:
"In the end, we didn't capture Mr. Qian alive, but it doesn't matter. A man who has reached the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation must not be an unknown person. Senior Brother Qin, find out who this person is from the Qian family. When the time comes, he can come to our house to ask for an explanation, or I can deal with him secretly. He must pay the price!"

Xie Yuan described his appearance and other general characteristics. Qin Zhenyang nodded slowly and said calmly:

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate at daybreak. Junior Brother Zhang, you've only been here for a few days, and you've already found the real culprit. Ha, and you've caused such a big commotion... When we go back, Master will definitely give you another credit."

Xie Yuan smiled and pretended to say:
"This is what a disciple should do! I am dedicated to the sect and don't want any reward... hehe."

Qin Zhenyang shook his head speechlessly and told him:
"The two families will definitely be more restrained in kidnapping people in the near future, but they take it very seriously and it will be difficult to get evidence. I will send someone to keep an eye on it. You have a good rest, and I will leave the rest to you for now."

Xie Yuan remained silent. From the two families' responses, he could tell how seriously they took the case. Without solid evidence, even if he exposed the case in public, it would not have any real impact on the two families.

In fact, even if we get the evidence, we may not be able to do anything to this thousand-year-old family... But we have to do it anyway, at least to make them wary and afraid, so that they dare not harm others at will.

In the next few days, Xie Yuan stayed at home in the villa to recuperate from his injuries.

Several other fellow disciples were diligent in their practice and, not knowing the details, they thought Xie Yuan had not even returned and was still outside investigating a case, and they felt very sympathetic towards his hard work.

However, after the battle that night, Jinling Prefecture was in turmoil. The city-wide search for the Yao family naturally yielded no results, but instead intensified the discussion among others.

The commotion was so big that everyone knew everything they should and shouldn’t know.

Yao Yilong, the master of the Yao family, fought with three juniors who were at the second level of transformation, but ended up being beaten away!

The Grandmaster was defeated by the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm?

A joke that happens only once in a century.

Even those who love to watch the fun and no matter how big the event, their first reaction is to sneer and scold others for boasting.

It just so happens that this incident was witnessed by many masters and experts, and it was confirmed by many parties to be true, which made people stunned.

It turns out that sometimes the more outrageous the rumor is, the more true it is.

So everyone started asking about the names of these three people.

Huijue and Zhang Junyi are the true disciples of Prajna Temple and Xuanzhen Sect respectively, and the favorite disciples of the great master.

When people hear these two names, they feel as if there is some reason behind it;

But when they heard the third name, people in the streets, teahouses and taverns were a little surprised.

Xie Yuan?

The number 72 on the Hidden Dragon List?
When will the tail of the Hidden Dragon List be able to fight against the Grandmaster? A new version?

Moreover, according to the rumors, it seems that Xie Yuan was the main force, took the best pills, and suffered the most severe beatings. Even the long street was destroyed but he was not killed. Instead, Yao Yilong was beaten so badly that he fled in embarrassment. It is said that he returned to his mansion to recuperate.

So Yao Yilong got a new title - the grandmaster who couldn't beat the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm.

Xie Yuan and the other two were at the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage, able to defeat a Grandmaster.

This time, Xie Yuan's reputation spread far and wide, and he was regarded as a martial arts prodigy who was no less than a grand master's closed disciple.

Every time Xie Yuan was mentioned, the Yao family felt embarrassed.

It was in this vortex of public opinion that the Jinling Little Hidden Dragon Club hosted by the Yao family kicked off.
