A Man in the Snow: Starting with a Sword Challenge to the Northern Liang Prince's Palace

Today was originally the birthday of the Jade Capital Venerable God Zhenwu Emperor, and there should have been a constant stream of pilgrims going up the mountain to burn incense. However, they encountered a man in red robes who came to trespass on the mountain.

Wudang Mountain deliberately closed its gates to prevent innocent people from being injured.

The sword that opened the Heavenly Gate thousands of miles away seemed to have startled the immortal sword that had never left its sheath for five hundred years.

This ancient sword has an extraordinary origin. It was the sword that Lü Zu wore after he ascended to immortality and remained dormant for nearly half a thousand years. Its trembling sound is like a dragon, as if it foreshadows the return of its master.

Hundreds of yellow cranes soared and circled in the sky above Wudang Mountain.

This strange scene left everyone wondering what was going on.

At this moment, Chen Yao, carrying a book, staggered into the Zhenwu Hall and cried out to Zongran with tears streaming down his face, "Sect Leader, I've succeeded!"

Wang Chonglou stroked his white beard: "Hahaha, my Wudang is truly on the rise!"

His master, Huang Manshan, had foreseen all of this long ago, which is why he allowed his junior brother, who loved herding cattle, to find enlightenment on his own, without requiring him to learn martial arts, only asking him to follow his own heart.

On one of the seventy-two peaks of Wudang Mountain, Lotus Peak, a young Taoist priest witnessed the ancient sword fly out of Taixu Palace. It then passed over the small Lotus Peak where he was, and just then saw the ancient sword finally fall into the hands of the Taoist priest riding an ox.

The young Taoist priest, named Qi Xianxia, ​​shouted at Hong Xixiang, "Hong Xixiang, who are you? Why is Lu Zu's sword connected to your mind?"

As one of the most talented people in Wudang, how could he not want to know why the legendary sword of Lu Zu had chosen a master?

The young grandmaster riding the ox calculated with his fingers, and after a long while, he sighed: "Today is probably not a good day to go to Jiangnan."

The words fell.

A red figure appeared not far in front of him.

Hong Xixiang, dressed in a simple Taoist robe, dusted himself off and said with a smile, "You're here to see Xu Fengnian, but he's no longer at Wudang."

"No, I've come to find you. I don't know whether I should call you Lü Zu or Hong Xixiang."

Ye Yun was just about to chase after Xu Fengnian when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura appearing in Wudang Mountain, which was similar to the aura that appeared when the Heavenly Gate opened earlier.

I guessed that he must have just fought with the Sword God Li Chungang.

The sword opens the gates of heaven.

The gates of heaven were opened, allowing some reincarnated individuals to awaken anew.

Presumably, today, not only Hong Xixiang has awakened his past life memories, but Donghai Wang Xianzhi will also likely sense some of his memories.

Call me Hong Xixiang!

Hong Xixiang looked at the man in front of him and smiled.

Sure enough.

Hong Xixiang remembered his ultimate password and instantly became a terrestrial celestial being. He truly had the biggest cheat code.

Ye Yun felt a sense of incomprehension towards Hong Xixiang, much like he felt towards Zhang Fuyao; there was a difference in their levels of understanding.

"Please grant me the sword, Master Lü. If we lose, Wudang will have to pay the price for helping Xu Fengnian today."

If you win, I won't stop you from going to see that woman in red.

Ye Yun's voice was calm, but his eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit.

Just how strong is this person who claims to be the strongest in the snow?

You have to try it to know.

"Oh! You have a lot of courage. You know who I am, yet you still dare to challenge me. Do you want to discuss the Way of Heaven or the Way of the Sword?"

But I advise you, with your current cultivation level, if you go after that Northern Liang prince now, you might still be able to catch up."

Hong Xixiang smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about Ye Yun's challenge.

Ye Yun laughed. Xu Fengnian is, after all, your brother-in-law. Why aren't you helping him?

"One sword."

Ye Yun said calmly.

"Alright, then let's test your sword strike, young friend."

Hong Xixiang said calmly.

The ancient sword, suspended in mid-air, separated from its scabbard: "You go to Jiangnan first, I'll follow shortly."

The scabbard flew towards Jiangnan, but the sword remained in his hand, indicating his intention to fight Ye Yun.

All the three religions and martial artists in the world know one thing.

That was Lu Zu from seven hundred years ago. He was unparalleled in both Dao and swordsmanship, and no one in the world could compare to him. Even after seven hundred years, no one has been able to surpass him.

Looking at the ancient sword in Hong Xixiang's hand, Ye Yun knew that although he had awakened the memories of three lifetimes, he had only just awakened them and his cultivation had not yet returned to its peak.

This ancient sword, however, allows him to quickly recover his current level of cultivation.

You have to use cheats to defeat someone who's using cheats.

Ye Yun did not use the power of the immortal sword this time. Although he strengthened his meridians, he still could not withstand the enormous power contained within.

A crimson longsword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He moved.

There was no earth-shattering sword energy, nor any world-destroying momentum.

He simply slashed his sword in the direction where Hong Xixiang was.

It was such a simple sword strike.

The entire sky changed color.

The speed at which it slowed down was visible to the naked eye. An extremely domineering and scorching sword intent, centered on Ye Yun, sealed off the area where he and Hong Xixiang were located.

呲呲呲!

It was as if the whole world had been scorched.

With each breath, the temperature of the entire world reached its limit, and the air itself seemed to ignite.

This is a level of mastery.

It is an artistic conception condensed from the ultimate sword intent.

He controlled this space with his own sword intent.

This sword strike was something Ye Yun had figured out himself, based on the divine power of the immortal sword, Nanming Li Huo.

Hong Xixiang revealed a hint of surprise: "Not bad, you've grasped the essence."

The ancient sword in his hand suddenly disappeared.

A sword appeared out of nowhere, falling straight down from the heavens.

A sword is drawn.

The strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth seemed to have been sliced ​​in two, as if a piece of paper had been cut.

The ancient sword broke through and flew out again, but it no longer attacked Ye Yun.

Then came Hong Xixiang's voice: "Ye Yun, if we were to fight, we would be dead or alive. Why be so stubborn? Today I broke your realm, not because you are weak, but because my realm is higher than yours."

What was originally a powerful sword strike was completely reduced to a background element for Hong Xixiang, the reincarnation of Lu Zu.

"Haha, I can afford to lose."

"I don't know, but the people in heaven are all stronger than you."

Ye Yun asked calmly.

"Of course there are, but there aren't many who are truly stronger than me. Once you break the rules, you'll know everything. I'm not going to hold it against you today; consider it repaying a favor."

The words fell.

The young Taoist priest in his simple robe rode a giant yellow crane toward the south of the Yangtze River.

The Jiangnan region is beautiful, and red is the best color for it.

Ye Yun gazed at the black dot disappearing into the horizon and sighed, "Truly worthy of being called Lu Zu."

That sword strike just now could not possibly be from the terrestrial celestial realm; it was clearly beyond the scope of the realm.

Since his debut, Ye Yun has experienced several major battles.

There are only two people who make him lack the confidence to defeat them.

One of them was his master, Zhang Fuyao.

The other one is the mysterious and unpredictable Lü Zu.

That sword.

It truly broke the rules of heaven and earth.

A sword strike that does not belong to the mortal realm.
