Chapter 429 Save me some face
Xu Fengnian didn't hear Zhou Ji's muttering. When passing by these people, the hostility in their eyes pierced like a substance, which made him extremely alert.
"They're looking at me"
Xu Fengnian pretended to glance casually, and these military slaves noticed Xu Fengnian's gaze, each of them gripping their weapons tightly, full of murderous intent.
Xu Fengnian withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "It looks more like he was waiting for me on purpose."
Li Chungang said disapprovingly, "Everyone knows that you are going to come to Wudi City to get the sword box. The weapon left on the head of Wudi City has not been taken down yet. You think they will return it when you come. you?"
Ning Emei left Fengziying outside the city, followed behind everyone and said, "Why don't we go up now and grab the sword box back?"
"Don't worry, just follow in Lao Huang's footsteps."
Xu Fengnian shook his head, but did not accept Ning Emei's proposal.
When he was in Wudang Mountain, he had repeatedly read the battle report sent by Zhao Xituan. Although he had transcribed all the actions of Huang Cong since he entered the city in detail, Zhou Ji could tell at a glance that the battle report was weird.
Because it only says "Sword Nine-Six Thousand Miles" where Lao Huang's five swords took off, but the sixth sword that Zhou Ji prepared for him before Lao Huang left was missing.
The battle report was sent by Longhushan.
According to Lao Huang, the person hidden on Longhu Mountain wanted to use his hand to find out what Wang Xianzhi was, but Wang Xianzhi didn't necessarily want that person to know.
As for whether he is dead or alive now, what happened during the fight that day can only be known after seeing Wang Xianzhi.
Except for Zhou Ji and Jiang Ni, no one else knew about this matter.
Now that Jiang Ni is leaving with Cao Changqing, it is even more impossible for Zhou Ji to tell others about it, so even Li Chungang only knows that Xu Fengnian's trip is to help Jian Jiuhuang get the sword box, but he doesn't know about the 'sixth sword' .
Xu Fengnian stopped and walked again, and Long Yuxuan or Zhao Xuansu, who was following among the crowd, walked with his head down and 'almost' crashed into Shu Shame's arms. He raised his head innocently, looked at him, and suddenly stopped, silent. Xu Fengnian, who came down, was surprised: "Didn't you agree to leave? Why did you stop?"
Xu Fengnian stood where he was, ignoring him.
Following the records of the battle report, he seemed to see a familiar figure waving to him and walking towards the wine shop not far away.
Long Yuxuan stepped forward and pulled his shoulders, trying to look in the direction of his line of sight, and asked curiously: "Brother, brother, what are you looking at?"
Xu Fengnian frowned slightly, pushed Long Yuxuan away casually, looked at the figure that disappeared in the light and shadow and said, "Old Huang drank his last bowl of wine here before the decisive battle with Wang Xianzhi."
After finishing speaking, he raised his foot and walked towards the wine shop.
Long Yuxuan wanted to follow, but was blocked by Zhou Ji with a flick of his sleeve. Zhou Ji smiled and said, "I'll go with him."
Wei Shuyang froze for a moment, pressed Long Yuxuan in front of him, nodded and said: "Young Master Lao."
The two entered the wine shop one after the other, Xu Fengnian sat on the seat recorded in the battle report, Zhou Ji did not sit on the opposite side, but sat on the side with his back to everyone.
The owner of the store with a sharp eye saw the two people dressed in low-key and extraordinary materials, so he stopped the waiter and greeted him personally, "What do you two want to eat and drink?"
Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Is there any wine?"
"Yes, yes, we sell wine, why don't we run out of wine, we have all the good wines from all over the world!" The shop owner laughed, "This young master, Zhuyeqing, Liangzhou Laojiao, Jiannanchun, Jinling Daqu, all of them, What would you like to drink, sir?"
Xu Fengnian was about to order food, but was pushed down by Zhou Ji, showing a puzzled expression.
Zhou Ji looked at the shop owner and said with a smile, "What was Jian Jiuhuang drinking at that time?"
All Huang's actions that day were recorded one by one. Xu Fengnian has seen it too many times, and he has already firmly remembered it.
Now seeing Zhou Ji asking the owner of the store, he thought about it, understood, and said: "That dry and thin old man with a box on his back once drank at your place."
"Jian Jiuhuang, one move of ninety-six thousand miles, the one who shocked the world, right? How can you not remember?" The shop owner laughed when he heard the words, "Then you have found the right place. He was drinking at my place back then. With such arrogance, he went up to the tower to challenge Wang Xianzhi, and the fight was so dark that the sun and the moon were dark!"
Speaking of the latter, the shop owner was also a little excited, even talking and making gestures, as if as long as he drank his wine, he could fight Wang Xianzhi for 300 rounds like Jian Jiuhuang.
Zhou Ji saw that what he said was getting more and more outrageous, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't help but asked curiously, "The two men fought at the top of the city that day, and there was such a commotion, so many people must be watching the battle below the city, right?"
"That's not true."
The owner of the shop was still a little bit unsatisfied with the story, he was slightly taken aback, shook his head and said, "What are the cultivation skills of the two of them, if they try their best, they might not even be able to hold up the walls of Emperor Wudi's city. The battlefield was changed to the sea, and all the masters in the city gathered on the coast to witness the sword nine that shocked the world."
The owner of the shop said quietly: "After this battle, Jian Jiuhuang's sword box was brought back to the city by Wang Xianzhi. A generation of peerless swordsmen turned into dust like this."
What was written in the battle report was exactly the same as what the shop owner said. Xu Fengnian slightly closed his eyes and slowly opened them, and said sadly, "Boss, here are two taels of rice wine, half a catty of stewed pork, and a plate of peanuts."
Before Lao Huang ascended the tower to challenge Wang Xianzhi, it was rare for him to be generous. He would not even order a plate of peanuts on weekdays, and even ate half a catty of braised pork.
Xu Fengnian unconsciously smiled when he was disappointed.
After listening to Xu Fengnian's order, the shop owner hesitated for a moment. This yellow rice wine is available, but it can't be sold at a high price. What's more, Erliang wine is only a bowl, and it's gone after two sips. Looking at the well-dressed man, Isn't it too shabby to eat this little thing?
Looking at Zhou Ji with some hesitation, showing a tentative smile, Zhou Ji signaled to Li Chungang and the others in the open space outside the wine shop: "Go and invite them here, get a table of good food and wine, and serve me two pots of yellow bars. "
The owner of the shop immediately had a smile on his face, he greeted the staff to invite someone, and said with a smile: "You two, wait a moment, you will be there soon."
The food and wine were ready soon, and Wei Shuyang and the others sat down at another table not far away.
Zhou Ji doesn't like drinking very much, even if he ordered wine, he mostly prepared it for Si Teng. Watching Xu Fengnian open two empty bowls and toast to the empty seat in front of him, Zhou Ji waved his hand to signal the dumbfounded guy to leave. Remove the cork and sprinkle it among the vines in the flowerpot.
"What's the situation with these two people? One ordered wine and didn't drink it to water the flowers, and the other was even more outrageous, toasting and drinking together in a place where no one was around." The waiter retreated to the counter with the tray in his hand, his heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed. Drooled.
Long Yuxuan just came here not long ago, and only heard about it through rumors, so he asked Wei Shuyang curiously, Wei Shuyang sighed, and told about the things between Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang with a complicated expression.
Long Yuxuan had little interest in Xu Fengnian and Jian Jiuhuang. After all, Jian Jiuhuang was dead and the sword box was left in Wudi City. Xu Fengnian's martial arts had nothing to do with him.
But Zhou Ji, who seems to be about the same age as Xu Fengnian, has become a land fairyland. The background is as clean as a white paper, but it is like a cloud of ink shrouded in mist. Only people around him can find out.
Not far away, listening to Wei Shuyang's narration, Xu Fengnian's three years of traveling appeared in front of Xu Fengnian's eyes. In the past, Lao Huang and him were both teachers and friends, and they were already like relatives.
After drinking the last bit of rice wine in the bowl, Xu Fengnian got up and smashed the bowl on the ground, stepped on the fence and flew into the center of the open space, pumped up his energy, and said loudly: "Wang Xianzhi! Dare to ask, what is the cloud of the nine heavens drooping! What is the cloud of the four seas?" The water is standing!"
For a moment, the bustling Wudi City instantly quieted down.
Now Xu Fengnian has transformed all of Dahuangting’s true energy into Qionghua’s true energy. The division of realms in this world is meaningless to him. Until he achieves immortality, there is almost no bottleneck in his cultivation.
The deafening voice echoed throughout Emperor Wu City, Zhao Kai outside the city gate paused, showing a look of shock.
King Kong? Refers to Xuan?
In just a few days, Xu Fengnian's strength has improved again.
Right now, even with the help of Fu Jiang Hongjia who has the strength of diamond realm, I am afraid that he is not his opponent.
"My brother-in-law is becoming more and more difficult to kill. I just hope that the person the master said can be a little more reliable, and stop leading people to the door like the unreliable senior recommended by Zhao Huangchao. I dare not come out."
Every time he thinks of the persistence in the Temple of Longevity, Zhao Kai will feel a little unwilling.
That was the closest chance to success.
Li Chungang and Zhou Ji were restrained at the front mountain, and he blocked Xu Fengnian at the entrance of the Longevity Temple, but he failed because of two "swords coming".
Not far behind him, Deng Tai'a, who was leading the donkey, didn't hear the echo from the door, but saw the Rune Armor man following Zhao Kai.
"Fu Jiang in red armor." Deng Tai'a glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention to it.
This trip to Wudi City, he is to watch the battle, and the other is to return favors, so he has no plans to enter the city.
Stopped at a bridge not far from the city, only to hear Wang Xianzhi's voice coming from the city, "Who is making noise?"
"Wang Xianzhi! Li Chungang is visiting the East China Sea, and I will fight you with this Mancheng sword!"
Li Chungang took a step forward, pointed at the sword, and pointed to the sky, "Sword!"
The voice fell, and the city was full of warriors, thousands of swords were unsheathed and soared into the sky, hanging in the air under the sky.
Deng Tai'a looked down at the slightly trembling small box, and with a flick of his hand, the restless flying sword inside the box returned to calm.
In front of him, Zhao Kai, who had just entered the city, was not so lucky.
Looking up at the long swords that kept gathering in the distance, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in my heart.
Like, too much like.
It was as if the nightmare was repeating itself, only to hear the sound of a sword, and a familiar black light passed over his shoulder from behind, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Isn't it? Come again!"
Zhao Kai turned around, the corners of his eyes twitched, his hands and scabbard were empty, and the red armor stood there blankly, completely unaware of what happened.
As the swords gathered more and more, a shocking sword curtain was soon hung in the air.
When he was in Longhu Mountain last time, Xu Fengnian failed to witness the process of Zhou Ji and Li Chungang summoning swords with his own eyes. Standing beside him now, he only saw shock in his eyes.
"With so many hands, you should be able to win, right?"
"Sometimes too much quantity can't lead to a qualitative change." Zhou Ji shook his head and smiled, "At the level of Li Jianshen, there is actually no difference between flying one piece of iron and flying countless pieces."
Xu Fengnian was dumbfounded and said, "Then why borrow so much?"
Li Chungang raised his foot and stepped forward, a long sword flew towards his feet, lifting him up like a cloud.
Standing with hands behind his back, passing by Xu Fengnian, Li Chungang showed a reasonable expression, and said with a smile: "Doesn't this look domineering?"
In the distance, a voice like a bell came from the city.
"Let Li Chungang go out of the city and fight Wang in the sea!"
Countless people in Wudi City turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a burly white shadow blasting from the roof of the attic towards the surface of the East China Sea like a comet.
The sword curtain was affected by the wave of air, scattered for a moment and then recovered. All the sword tips turned to point directly at the East China Sea.
Xu Fengnian looked at the direction in which the two left, and frowned slightly, revealing a hint of worry.
Master duel, life and death are on the front line.
Looking up towards the direction of the city tower, just as the warriors were waiting in line below the city, everyone thought that Xu Fengnian would rush to the top of the city to retrieve Jian Jiuhuang's sword box.
Xu Fengnian turned to look at Zhou Ji, with an extremely serious expression, and said in silence for a long time: "Old Zhou, save me some face."
"." Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing and said: "It's for carrying, shouldering, carrying, as long as it's not for carrying or hugging, you can choose anything else."
Xu Fengnian said cheekily: "I choose to step on the sword and fly."
"Okay, then you can find a sword." Zhou Ji teased with a strange expression.
"I'm looking for it." Xu Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhou Ji agreed to Yu Jian, but he didn't wait for him to be happy for a long time before he looked around and realized that all the swords in Wudi City had been 'borrowed' by Li Chungang.
"Then what, can you use a knife?" Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.
"It's not easy for Miss Nangong to agree to lend you the saber, so don't waste her saber." Zhou Ji rolled his eyes at him, and with a flick of his hand, took out a long transparent glazed sword from the square formation.
"???"
Zhao Xuansu was already planning to tear off the vest, and did it while Xu Fengnian was going upstairs. Seeing Xu Fengnian suddenly talking nonsense, he couldn't help being stunned, and faintly realized that Xu Fengnian and Zhou Ji had other things The plan has been kept hidden from myself.
Zhao Xuansu had a thought, and glanced quietly to the side. Wei Shuyang, Shu Xiu, Ning Emei, and the others were also puzzled and confused. I'm afraid that even they are hiding it together.
When he saw Zhou Ji pull out a strange long sword from the void, Zhao Xuansu's eyelids twitched, and then saw Zhou Ji pouring a ray of light blue mana into the sword, carrying Xu Fengnian soaring into the sky, turning into a flying rainbow and disappearing. Can't help but feel a little sluggish.
Xu Fengnian didn't go to the tower, but went to the East China Sea to watch the battle?
Then what should he do?
Can’t kill, don’t kill?
Zhao Xuansu frowned slightly, and could only take one step at a time.
