The Counterattack of the Villains

After the New Year, Xu Weixiong left Beiliang in a happy mood and returned to Shangyin Academy, while Xu Fengnian entered a state of seclusion and self-cultivation.

Comprehend the "Tai Xuan Induction Chapter", meditate and refine Dahuang Ting's skills, go to Tingchao Pavilion to browse various martial arts books, write down the incomprehensible things you encounter with pen and ink, and then ask Zheng Zha for advice one by one, and arrange the time.

Got to be full.

It can be said that besides eating, sleeping and going to the hut, he is either studying martial arts or on his way to study martial arts.

If you work so diligently, the rewards will naturally be considerable.

Although he has not yet created a new sword technique, the three initial sword techniques have many subsequent moves and changes.

This makes the sword that belongs to him become more profound and mysterious.

As for internal strength, refining true energy takes time after all. If you want to achieve it overnight, you need to pay a price and take certain risks.

But it's so good that no one will ask him to break it and then stand it up again. If he can't stand it up after it is broken, then wouldn't he be done?

Therefore, from the end of the year to the beginning of the following spring, Xu Fengnian only refined and absorbed 20% of the true energy.

In the chapter on Taixuan Induction, I have not even achieved success in Xiao Huang Ting. I have only achieved initial success, which is just one level better than those who have just started.

According to Zheng Zha's estimation, Xu Fengnian must absorb at least four successful powers before he can achieve Xiao Huangting and reach the level of a second-grade minor master.

One can achieve Vajra by absorbing the power of the Six Successes, but it only possesses the inner power of the Vajra Realm, but the physical body cannot reach the strength of the Vajra Realm.

He still has to spend a lot of time tempering his body before he can truly possess the physical strength of the Vajra Realm.

One can enter the Zhixuan realm by absorbing the power of eight successes. He also only has the internal strength of the Zhixuan realm. If he wants to possess the unique magic and mystical skills of the Zhixuan realm, he has to comprehend it himself.

Absorbing ten successful powers is naturally a celestial phenomenon. There are no exceptions. If you want to be able to borrow the power of heaven and earth, you still have to rely on yourself to realize the unity of heaven and man.

But it is basically impossible for Xu Fengnian to directly access the celestial phenomena, because during this period of time, part of the true energy in his body has escaped, about half of it, and it is already less than 100%.

As time goes by, more and more Qi will be lost.

According to the speed of his refining and absorption, compared with the speed of dissipation, by the time he has absorbed the true energy in his body, he will finally get a little more than 60% of the true energy.

This is only enough for him to achieve the Waihuangting, which is the Vajra Realm, but this is not absolute. If he still takes the path of breaking and then establishing, he may have a chance to enter the Zhixuan.

With Xu Fengnian's current 20% Da Huang Ting skill, coupled with the fact that he has understood the meaning of the sword and created three initial sword techniques and subsequent moves, he can probably have a fourth-level force value.

Even though his level does not seem to be very high, this is because he is in an environment where almost all the people he comes into contact with are first-rate or above top players.

In the Beiliang Army, a fourth-grade master can at least hold the rank of captain.

If a fourth-grade warrior is placed in the martial arts world, he will be able to occupy the position of elder guest minister in some small and medium-sized gangs and sects.

A third-grade person can also hold a decisive position in a large gang or sect, and he must also be a captain in the army.

Don't think of a second-grade minor grandmaster as a master. A minor grandmaster is also a master, a master who can establish a sect or a gang.

The dead soldier Bing Qingniao next to Xu Fengnian is the second-grade little grandmaster. Of course, she will be able to reach the height of Zhixuan in the future.

The more familiar senior generals in the Northern Liang Army, such as Chu Lushan, Dian Xiongchu, and Ning Emei, are currently all second-grade minor masters.

And if there are Vajra-level masters in a gang, they can dominate the gang.

For example, the Luoyan Gang, the original largest gang in Yanhui Pass, had a leader who was a first-grade Vajra Realm grandmaster, so it was able to dominate Yanhui Pass for so many years.

All in all, the fourth-level martial arts is not weak and belongs to the ranks of second-rate masters.

…

In the blink of an eye, the spring season has arrived, and the day that Zheng Zha and Luo Li have been waiting for for a long time, but Xu Fengnian himself is traveling around the world for the second time with some helplessness, has finally arrived.

On this day, the palace was busy before dawn, preparing for His Highness the Crown Prince's trip.

When it was daylight and Xu Fengnian led Zheng Zha and Luo Li out of the palace gate, the team was ready to set off.

At this time, Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha both had Beiliang knives on their waists.

These two knives were carefully crafted by Xu Xiao and ordered by the blacksmith of the palace in the past few months. They were gifts given to Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha. They were made of rare and high-quality materials.

Even if it is not comparable to rare magical materials such as black iron, cold iron, meteorite iron, and star iron, it is still a rare magical weapon, no worse than the embroidered winter spring thunder shot by Nangong Pu.

Luo Li still had both hands empty. Her magic weapon, the Flying Sword, was hidden in her Dantian and could be used at any time when needed. Naturally, there was no need to bring a weapon.

Zheng Zha's sword is more of a decoration, and his Tiger Soul Sword is also hidden inside his body.

However, in this world, there is no power that can force them to use their own magic weapons. Loli has a holy sword technique that is enough.

Not to mention Zheng Zha, not to mention the Seven Great Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth, even his Chuangdao is already unstoppable.

When the three of them walked out of the palace gate, Xu Xiao was already waiting here. When he saw a few people coming out, his old face immediately smiled.

Zheng Zha stepped forward to greet him and addressed him as prince, while Luo Li sweetly called her uncle.

Xu Xiao patted Zheng Zha's shoulder affectionately and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are still so polite after all this time."

"Li'er and the Weixiong sisters are worthy of each other, so you are no different from my nephew. From now on, just like Li'er, just call me uncle."

Zheng Zha changed his words and said: "Then my nephew is more respectful than obedient. I have met my uncle."

Xu Xiao said happily: "Hey, that's right. You two need to worry more about this trip."

Zheng Zha said sternly: "Uncle, don't worry, if the prince loses a hair on his head, my nephew will be considered incompetent."

Xu Xiao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It's not that bad, proper training is also good for Fengnian. You guys, just give him a fight and keep his life safe."

Zheng Zha said clearly: "My nephew understands."

Xu Xiao smiled again, patted his shoulder again, and then asked the three of them to follow him down the long steps at the entrance of the palace.

In front of two stone lions at the bottom of the long steps, Ning Emei stood next to a Northern Liang war horse, holding a divination iron halberd in his hand.

There are two more carriages, and there is a blue bird standing next to the first carriage.

At this time, she changed into a maid's outfit, with her hair tied into a neat bun on top of her head. Her original white skirt was replaced by a green outfit, which made her look quite heroic.

No one was seen next to the second carriage, but between the two carriages, there were two people standing next to a war horse.

One is an old Taoist with a lazy look, as if he has not woken up. His name is Wei Shuyang, he is the guard of Tingchao Pavilion, he was born in Jiudou Mi Tao, and he is a second-grade junior master.

The other one is a woman with a graceful figure and a charming face.

This woman had been seen before, it was Miss Fan who followed Lin Tanhua, but her real name was Shu Sha, and the reason why she followed Lin Tanhua was to trick him.

After the three of them walked down the long steps, Xu Xiao pointed at Ning Emei and said: "According to your request, Ning Emei will lead a hundred Fengzi battalion cavalry to accompany you. You can see them after you set off."

Naturally, Qingniao and Wei Shuyang needed no introduction. Xu Xiao pointed at Shu Sha and said, "Her name is Shu Sha. You have all met her before. She is familiar with all the ways in the world. If you encounter any special circumstances, you can ask her."

Shu Xian's pretty face slightly raised, she looked at Xu Fengnian with a pair of charming eyes, and said softly: "You can ask me anything."

Xu Xiao's face suddenly darkened when he saw this. Shu Sha noticed his expression and was immediately startled, secretly cursing himself for being stupid.

She quickly lowered her head humbly and pretended to turn around to arrange the salute on her horse.

As the Crown Prince of Northern Liang and the future King of Northern Liang, Xu Fengnian's woman was of great importance, and not just anyone was qualified to climb into his bed.

There are countless officials and women in the world who want to marry into the Northern Liang Palace.

Shu Sha, a coquettish bitch who has been wandering around the world, if she really dared to hook up with Xu Fengnian, the only result would be to die in the wilderness, Xu Xiao would be the first one not to let her go.

Seeing that Shu Sha was somewhat self-aware, Xu Xiao withdrew his murderous gaze.

Zheng Zha pointed to the car behind him nonchalantly and asked, "Why is there no one in that carriage?"

Xu Xiao said: "The coachman will be here soon."

Xu Fengnian nodded, stepped forward and looked into the carriage, only to see the crappy assassin Yu Youwei sitting in the carriage, holding her white cat named Wu Meiniang in her arms.

Xu Fengnian couldn't help but look shocked, pointed at Yu Youwei and asked: "Why are you following me?"

Yu Youwei raised her head and glanced at him, then immediately lowered her head, focusing on petting the cat, and said slowly: "I will go wherever Jiang Ni goes."

Xu Fengnian said angrily: "It's inexplicable that Jiang Ni doesn't go with me."

After saying that, he looked stunned, as if he had thought of something. He suddenly turned back to look at the first carriage, ran over to take a look, and his face was confused again.

What was inside the carriage was not the Jiang Ni he imagined, but a skinny old man with white hair and beard, a broken arm, and wearing a sheepskin fur.

The old man was now crossing his legs, picking his nose with his right index finger, and looking at him indifferently.

Xu Fengnian narrowed her eyes slightly, pointed at him and asked: "Who are you?"

At this moment, Jiang Ni, carrying a small baggage, asked happily: "Where should I sit?"

From the time she entered the Northern Liang Palace, except for a trip to Wudang Mountain, she never left the palace again, just like a canary raised in a gorgeous birdcage.

Now I finally have the opportunity to travel far away. Even though I know that the future of this trip is uncertain and life or death is uncertain, I am still very excited.

Xu Xiao pointed to the first carriage driven by the Blue Bird, with only the old man in the sheepskin fur sitting on the carriageway: "This way."

Jiang Ni ran towards the carriage happily without saying anything, but Xu Fengnian walked towards Xu Xiao angrily and asked, "Did you arrange it?"

Xu Xiao nodded calmly and said: "Yes."

Xu Fengnian said angrily: "What use does ginger mud do to me when I travel around the world?"

Xu Xiao hesitated and said: "You have to have someone to take care of your accommodation...all the way...all the way...for you, right?"

Xu Fengnian glared at Xu Xiao and said, "There are so many maids, why did you choose Jiang Ni?"

"This..." Xu Xiao rolled his eyes and thought of the reason, "If you really keep Jiang Ni in your house, what if your second sister's men are harmful to her again?"

Xu Fengnian was obviously dissatisfied with this answer. Jiang Ni had stayed in the mansion for so many years, so wasn't it okay?

If Xu Xiao doesn't say anything, who dares to really touch her?

"That's the only reason?"

"Uh...ahem..." Xu Xiaoqing coughed and did not respond to his words. This reason was something he had just thought of.

Luo Li on the side was a little unhappy, and said abruptly: "What's wrong with Jiang Ni? Jiang Ni is a very nice person, and she can be a companion for me. I'll sit with her."

After saying that, he walked straight over there. The carriage of Beiliang Prince's Mansion was very big, and it would not be crowded even if it could seat five or six people. It would still be quite empty if it could only seat three people.

Xu Fengnian looked at Luo Li with a helpless face, "We are going on a dangerous path full of thorns, not for a spring outing, sister."

Zheng Zha laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it'll be no problem."

Seeing that Zheng Zha said the same thing, Xu Fengnian no longer hesitated and acquiesced to Jiang Ni joining the team.

But the old man in sheepskin fur couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw the two women getting into the car one after the other.

These two girls are not simple. One is born with a sword, and the other has sword energy. They are both top inheritors of swordsmanship. I am not alone in my way, and I am not alone in my way.

Sword God Li Chungang, if there were no reincarnations coming to this world, he would be the ceiling of kendo in the snow world.

Even if he fell down for some reason, his cultivation in swordsmanship is still unparalleled in the world.

At this time, Xu Xiao walked up to the carriage, solemnly clasped his fists at Li Chungang and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble during this trip in Fengnian."

Li Chungang ignored him. He had just dug out a lump of booger from his nostril on his finger and was looking around for a place to wipe it.

Finally, he stared at the gorgeous door curtain and was about to reach out and wipe it on. Seeing this scene, Xu Fengnian's expression changed and she quickly stopped her: "Hey, don't wipe it on my car."

Luo Li looked at Li Chungang with disdain on her face and complained: "Old man, you are obviously quite upright. If you dress up a little, you might still have some celestial spirit. Why are you so sloppy?"

"I..." Li Chungang was complained mercilessly by Luo Li, but he was not angry. He raised his fingers as if he was at a loss.

Luo Li reached into her arms, took out a piece of silk, handed it to Li Chungang and said, "Use this to wipe it."

Li Chungang immediately smiled, took the silk and wiped off his nose, and said with a smile: "I'll wash it off and give it back to you."

Luo Li waved her hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, you can keep it for yourself."

Outside the car, Xu Fengnian asked Xu Xiao with a look of disgust on his face: "Who is this person?"

He did not lower his voice deliberately, nor was he afraid that Li Chungang would hear him.

Xu Xiao tilted his head slightly and said softly: "You must remember that the big devil is pressing under Tingchao Pavilion and you cannot hold a sword for him."

Xu Fengnian asked in confusion: "What sword?"

Xu Xiao said categorically: "I can't give you any swords."

Jiang Ni in the car asked jokingly: "Where is the wooden sword?"

Xu Xiao replied impatiently: "Wooden swords won't work either."

Luo Li glanced at Li Chungang, and said with a smile to Xu Xiao outside the car: "Uncle, the real masters of swordsmanship are those who have no sword in their hands but have a sword in their hearts. Whether they have a sword or not does not make much difference to them."

When Li Chungang heard Luo Li's words, he laughed happily and said: "What you said is right, but the realm is the realm. If you have a sword in your hand, the lethality it can exert will be much stronger after all."

After speaking, he said enthusiastically: "Girl, you are wearing a sword aura, and you don't have a sword on your body. You must have reached the state of having no sword in your hand but a sword in your heart, right?"

Outside the car, Xu Fengnian had a thoughtful look on his face. He thought of what Zheng Zha once said.

Weapons are extensions of arms. As long as you understand the meaning, you can still exert the power of sword skills even if you don't have a sword in your hand.

Therefore, in the way of swordsmanship, there should be a state where there is no sword in the hand but a sword in the heart.
