When the ghosts of Yu Ci and the others hurriedly returned to the secret world of Fa Tian, Zhang Yan was indeed outside the stone room where Yu Ci was retreating, leaning against Yu Ci's door, half asleep. When the three Yinshen entered, he just raised his eyes and said nothing.
Um, it seems that the visitor is evil?
For a Dan Huan cultivator like Zhang Yan, the restrictions in the secret world of Fa Tian are almost unlimited. Come when you want, leave when you want, this is the privilege of the strong, even if Zhang Yan is infinitely close to falling, it is the same.
The Tu family brothers were a little afraid of him, so they called out "Senior Brother Zhang" in a hurry, and then the Yin Shen returned to his body - from a etiquette point of view, it is somewhat impolite to meet people with the Yin Shen. As for the flying sword in Zhang Yan's hand, the two brothers did not dare to say anything and could only place their hopes on Yu Ci.
"Senior Brother Zhang, please come in."
After Yu Ci returned home first, he opened the stone door again and invited Zhang Yan to enter. Speaking of which, apart from Li You and Meng Wei, this was the first time someone visited him at the mountain gate, and it was Zhang Yan, an opponent he had fought with in gambling. The location was in the secret world of Fa Tian, which felt very strange. That’s why Yu Ci seemed extremely polite:
"Senior Brother Zhang, why are you taking the time to come here?"
Because it is a place of cultivation, sometimes you have to practice external swordsmanship. The stone room is quite spacious, but there is no place for guests to sit. Yu Ci was still thinking about pouring a glass of water, but Zhang Yan had already casually held the flying cup in his hand. The sword was still on the side, and there was light flashing in the deeply sunken eye sockets.
"Junior Brother Yu, I have something to ask of you now."
"Well, I really can't take this seriously. Senior Brother Zhang, please tell me if you have anything to say."
"Junior Brother Yu, please bet with me again."
"Aha?"
Yu Ci didn't react for a moment. When he saw Zhang Yan directly showing his sword, he understood Zhang Yan's plan and scratched his head for a while. Could it be that after this senior brother admitted defeat that day, he felt aggrieved in the past two days, so he came here to regain his position?
If there was another fight, Yu Ci felt that she would be unlucky.
After all, the elixir-returning cultivators are elixir-returning cultivators. Recently, there have indeed been quite a few elixir-returning cultivators who have fallen into the hands of Yu Ci, and some of them are even more powerful than Zhang Yan. But what should be noted is that none of them are in a perfect state and fighting Yu Ci head-on.
Yu Ci has extremely strong self-confidence, but self-confidence alone is still difficult to penetrate the thick wall between Huan Dan and the Tongshen monk. That night on Touching Heaven Peak, Yu Ci launched a wild attack that finally forced Zhang Yan to admit defeat. But until the end, didn't he not even hurt the opponent's hair?
He quickly calculated all the reasons in his mind and came to the conclusion that he had no chance of winning.
Then his answer rang in Zhang Yan’s ears:
"Okay, let's play again."
No matter he thought of thousands or hundreds of reasons for losing, since someone challenged him face to face and it was not a life-or-death vendetta, Yu Ci had no reason to refuse. As for victory or defeat, that is not the decisive factor.
Zhang Yancai didn't care about the changes in Yu Ci's heart. Seeing him agree, the sharp sword in his hand emits a circle of cold light with a buzzing sound. The temperature in the room seemed to have reached nine degrees of winter in an instant. Then he raised his sword and pointed it at Yu Ci. , said softly:
"Please!"
He did not hesitate at all, but Yu Ci also raised the Xiguang Sword. The sword energies erupted from both sides collided directly, and the originally empty stone chamber immediately seemed cramped.
"Here?"
Yu Ci spoke in a low voice, as if making a final confirmation. The moment Zhang Yan nodded his head, he suddenly let out a sharp roar, and the sword light penetrated from the middle palace. However, not much later than him, the opponent's sword light also reached towards his neck, and both sides actually used the same move to kill each other.
Seeing both of them spattered with blood, Yu Ci's figure blurred for a while, and he inexplicably escaped from Zhang Yan's sword. At the same time, Zhang Yan also turned around and broke through the weakest point of his sword. Amidst the sparks of anger, he changed his position in an instant.
Several extremely weak sounds of cracking silk were instantly heard in the stone room. However, neither Yu Ci nor Zhang Yan stopped, and their speed was even faster than before. In the blink of an eye, they passed each other again, the sword energy roared and collided, and the remaining energy burst out. It was also as sharp as a blade, tearing the limited furnishings in the stone room into pieces. Even the volume of "General Theory of the Sword Sutra" was not spared, and the fragments flew around like butterflies.
Such a fierce collision, even if both of them were careful, could not help but alert the people practicing in retreat nearby. Some people rushed here in a hurry, but before they arrived, Yu Ci and Zhang Yan fought twice in a row. Misplaced, the sword energy became sharper and sharper. Yu Ci even had trouble on his shoulders because he could not block the impact of the opponent's sword energy.
Then, the real evil outside Zhang Yan expanded.
With a "bang" sound, just like when he hit the cliff that night, when Zhang Yan's body protection was bursting out, Yu Ci's back hit the stone room wall firmly, and the violent shock shook his internal organs. , even though he was not injured, he was very sad and didn’t want to stand up for a while.
The light suddenly dimmed, but Zhang Yan walked closer and looked down at him. Yu Ci grinned and was about to speak when a hand stretched out in front of him. Yu Ci was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to use his strength to stand up. At this time, the muscles on Zhang Yan's pale face moved slightly and he spoke, his voice low and clear:
"Getting chestnuts out of the fire is so wonderful!"
There is no doubt that this is a compliment, and there is more to come: "The grasp of key changes in qi movement is excellent. I am not as good as you at this point, not once or twice, but every time. But. The most powerful thing is your courage. Every time you take risks, life and death are just a thin line, you can still grasp the subtle changes without losing shape at all. No wonder you were able to cut off my collar that day. If you and I could fix it, For equality, or you change a sharp weapon..."
As he talked a lot, Zhang Yan's face also glowed with blood. After listening to his words, Yu Ci glanced at the Xiguang Sword. This sword was given by Wanling Sect and its quality was really average. Swords, especially the sword he used for close combat, were different from the flying swords and sword pills used to control the sword. They valued materials over refinement, so it was really difficult to find a handy one.
However, Yu Ci has put a lot of effort into the "General Theory of the Sword Sutra" recently, and his horizons have been broadened, so he said: "If it weren't for the small size of the secret room, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to rely on my senior brother to control the sword and unfold it, and the rainbow light would be endless. Within a mile, what's the use of mastering the Qi movement?"
Zhang Yan shook his head and said: "Junior brother is not a person who belittles himself, why should he be too polite? Besides, swordsmanship is at the end of the stage. What I praise is junior brother's mental skills - courage, determination, and judgment, all integrated into one. The danger is like a flat ground, but today I finally know that what my junior brother said that night is indeed true. He is good at gambling and has a good gambling temperament. I admire him!"
Yu Ci couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He didn't believe Zhang Yan and didn't know that he was talking nonsense that day. He was just thinking about how to respond when he suddenly saw Zhang Yan bowing with his sword in hand and bowing to him in a sincere manner:
"Junior Brother Yu, please teach me this gambling technique."
"Huh?"
Yu Ci opened his eyes wide, but before he could figure out why the song came out, there was a sound from the door.
"Senior Brother Zhang, you..." The boss of the Tu family opened the door and came in. He happened to see this scene and was dumbfounded on the spot.
Zhang Yan still bowed and did not move, but Tu Rilun felt that his face was like needles pricking him, and he felt regret in his heart...
After all, he still couldn't let go of the flying sword. After the Yin Shen returned to his body, he calmed down a little and hurried over with his brothers. At that time, Yu Ci and Zhang Yan were fighting, with great momentum, attracting most of the people in the Fatian secret world. However, the stone chamber was tightly closed, and no one knew what was going on inside.
After finally waiting for the calm to subside, no one came out. Everyone was afraid of something happening, and with the encouragement of others, Tu Rilun relied on his "friendship" with Yu Ci to push open the stone door. I don't want to run into something like this head on.
"Senior Brother Zhang bowed his head to that boy..."
Although this Senior Brother Zhang is hopelessly addicted to gambling and looks half-dead all day long, but with his status and status, he can do whatever he wants in private, but now that he sees him, how can he not feel guilty? pimple?
Oops, oops, oops... Tu Zilun's mind was in a mess, and he stayed at the door, not knowing whether to go in or back out.
Yu Ci's reaction was still quick. When he saw this, he knew that if he continued to mess around, everyone might look bad. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to lift Zhang Yan up: "Senior Brother Zhang, why do you do this? You and I are competing against each other in terms of skills. As it should be..."
Speaking of endless polite words, Yu Ci winked at Tu Rilun. After all, the boy was not stupid enough. He said "Ah" "My sword", and with the help of his divine will, he took back the flying sword that had been blown to the corner by the sword wind, and then closed the stone door with a bang, isolating the inner and outer world.
Zhang Yan did not argue with Yu Ci about etiquette. He straightened up, and his deep-set eyes seemed to be on fire, shining brightly: "Junior Brother Yu, I need this!"
His words were wrapped in a heavy power that Yu Ci had never seen in him before.
At this moment, Yu Ci still didn't know the true meaning of his words, but he nodded inadvertently.
After nodding, Yu Ci had an inexplicable feeling that the man in front of him seemed to want to make a huge turn, and one side of the steering wheel was held by him, and as for the other half...
Yu Ci shook his head and sheathed the Xiguang Sword.
Honestly, this feels really weird.
