Chapter 4322: 4324【Shadow Swordsman】

Chapter 4322 Chapter 4324 [Shadow Swordsman]

Xiang Nan returned to the small courtyard from the Duke's Mansion and continued to practice martial arts with Xu Ziling.

After practicing until late at night, the two of them went to bed to rest.

But at the fourth watch, when the night became quieter, Xiang Nan suddenly heard the sound of sand, sand, sand, an extremely slight sound.

And when he heard it, he knew that this was someone performing extremely light kung fu.

He used his clairvoyance to look outside the house and immediately saw a man in black who had landed in the courtyard and was walking towards the house.

The figure of the man in black is obviously that of a man. The most obvious sign is that he wears a half mask on his face, covering half of his face, making it impossible to identify his appearance.

But even so, Xiang Nan easily recognized his identity.

It was Hou Xibai, nicknamed the Passionate Young Master, but this was only his public identity. He also has a secret identity, that of Shadow Swordsman Yang Xuyan.

Yang Xuyan's father, Yang Yong, was the eldest son of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, and was once established as the prince. But it is a pity that he lost the emperor's heart under the calculation of his younger brother Yang Guang and was eventually demoted to a commoner.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, in order to avoid future troubles, he forged Yang Jian's edict and ordered Yang Yong to die. Yang Xuyan was rescued by Shi Zhixuan and accepted as his disciple, and promised him to help him recover in the future. Yang Xuyan was naturally grateful.

But it is a pity that Shi Zhixuan chose to freeze himself twenty years ago, and his whereabouts are unknown, which naturally makes Yang Xuyan worried.

Because without Shi Zhixuan's martial arts and the strong support of the Demon Sect, he would never be able to overthrow Yang Guang and take back the throne that should belong to him.

So he worked hard to find Shi Zhixuan. Until recently, it was rumored that the "Secret of Immortality" could find the evil king's tomb and release Shi Zhixuan, so he was interested.

"In the play, you pretended to be a good person and deceived many people. Unfortunately, God is not as good as God. I won't get you in vain this time." Xiang Nan thought in his heart, and flashed to Xu Ziling's room and gave him a white blow. Sundream curse, and then quietly guarded the door of the room.

In the play, Yang Xuyan uses Hou Xibai's identity as a cover to nominally help Shuanglong fight against the four major bandits such as Hanhan, Zhu Yuyan, Yu Wenhuaji, and the Demon Sect.

In fact, he wanted to use the power of the two dragons to find Shi Zhixuan, obtain the evil emperor's relics, and destroy He's Bi. In the end, he exposed his ambitions and cooperated with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, hoping to dominate the world and seize the throne.

Shuangyong was deceived by him at first, thinking that he was a good person, but ended up being deceived by him a lot.

But in fact, in the book, Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan are two completely different people, and although they are both apprentices of Shi Zhixuan, their martial arts methods are completely different.

Because Shi Zhixuan possesses martial arts from both Huajian School and Butian Pavilion, the two apprentices only learn one martial art from him.

Hou Xibai is a descendant of the Huajian sect. He learned the martial arts of the Huajian sect. He emphasizes "incorporating art into martial arts" and is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry.

His school has a long history and belongs to an organization of small craftsmen with artistic attributes. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry were all privileges enjoyed by the upper class.

But those who are responsible for painting, playing music, writing, and collecting poetry are subordinates of the big shots. They are both attached to the mainstream society and at the same time, they are marginalized figures in the mainstream society.

The Analects of Confucius says, "Although it is a small road, there must be something to behold. If you go far, you will be afraid of mud, so a gentleman will not do it." This means that poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, astrology, divination, medicine and agriculture are all just elementary knowledge. It is useless to govern the country and bring peace to the people, so a gentleman will not waste his energy on such useless knowledge.

Therefore, these small craftsmen who have certain talents and are free from mainstream society unite to form the Huajian Sect, one of the two sects of the Demon Sect.

During the Han Dynasty, hundreds of schools of thought were deposed and only Confucianism was respected. The knights used martial arts to break the ban, so knights and assassins were also attacked, so they jointly founded Butian Pavilion. Because they do not follow orthodoxy and deviate from the orthodox, they are also classified as demons.

In the book, Yang Xuyan also secretly joined the Ming Dynasty Zunjiao and became one of the atoms. He practiced the Ming Dynasty Zunjiao's secret book "The Wisdom Sutra on the Origin of All Laws", and combined it with the "Immortal Seal" to create the "Black Hand Magic Skill" ", is a very difficult character.

However, in the play, in order to simplify the plot of the characters, Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan were merged into one person. Hou Xibai has also changed from the close friend of Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling in the original novel to a cunning, cunning and treacherous villain.

Yang Xuyan came to the door, pulled out the sharp blade, lifted the latch, then gently pushed the door open, and entered the house in a flash.

His movement was extremely light and he made almost no sound during the whole process. He was truly worthy of being a "shadow swordsman".

But after he entered the door, he suddenly discovered that Xiang Nan was standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.

Yang Xuyan was immediately surprised.

Because he didn't notice Xiang Nan at all just now.

As the best killer in the world, his five senses are actually very sharp.

Not to mention that there is someone close at hand, even if someone is passing by, peeking, or taking action a few hundred meters away, he will feel it.

This is the instinct of a killer.

But Xiang Nan was right in front of him just now, and he didn't know anything about it. It was really scary.

"Isn't he breathing, heartbeating, or body temperature?" Yang Xuyan was shocked, but out of the killer's instinct, he still stabbed Xiang Nan with his sword.

The power of the sword is as fast as a meteor; the murderous intent is so strong that it is terrifying. It is worthy of being an assassin's sword. It kills with every ten steps and bleeds with five steps.

But with a clang sound, the sword stabbed Xiang Nan's body, but it was like stabbing a piece of steel, without even penetrating the skin. Looking at Xiang Nan again, he turned into a shining golden man.

"..." Yang Xuyan was shocked again.

Such martial arts was something he had never heard of, never seen before, and was really unexpected.

But at this moment, his hands were grabbed by Xiang Nan, and following his martial arts, Xiang Nan sucked them away continuously.

"Absorb power?!" Yang Xuyan was shocked.

Sucking Dafa is also an evil martial art that he has practiced hard. To practice this evil art, he needs to absorb a large amount of corpse energy. For this reason, he had to wander around many tombs and battlefields, practicing by absorbing the corpse energy of the dead.

Yang Xuyan relied on this skill to quickly accumulate a lot of strength at a young age. You know, Shi Zhixuan was only seven years old when he went into seclusion.

Therefore, he was nominally Shi Zhixuan's apprentice, but in fact Shi Zhixuan did not personally teach him many martial arts. There was still a big difference between the one-on-one personal teaching by famous teachers such as Huan Huan and Shi Feixuan.

But his strength is not weak at all, and is even higher than Huanwen. He relies on the power-absorbing Dafa, which allows him to absorb the power of others and grow rapidly.

However, this technique is too evil. Even if it is mastered, lifespan will be greatly shortened. It is a technique that uses poison to quench thirst and catch fish from the lake.

But he didn't expect that Xiang Nan could do it too.
