Li Xin'an lifted herself up from the ground with her sword, walked out of the dust, shook off the dust on her body, stared at Murong Bai with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "Come on, keep fighting!"
Murong Bai was shocked. It was quite unbelievable to him that Li Xin'an could survive from "a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix", and yet he still wanted to fight.
"Brother Li, your body is almost exhausted now. You must not use force again, otherwise it will backfire!" Murong Bai dissuaded him. He didn't know whether it was recognition of Li Xin'an or a debt, but he also changed the title from the beginning.
The "Master Li" was changed to "Brother Li".
"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Xin'an's complexion turned from green to red, and then from red to green again. Even Li Chu, who was not very involved in martial arts, could see his reluctance.
Li Xin'an thrust his sword towards Murong Bai. In desperation, Murong Bai had no choice but to take the attack, but he did not counterattack, he simply resisted Li Xin'an's sword.
"Brother Li, don't be impulsive. If you can catch the phoenix, you are no less than me." Murong Bai said while resisting.
"Thank you, you really know how to speak!" Li Xin'an gritted his teeth and said, but the strength in his hand became a little stronger.
Murong Bai secretly thought that something was wrong. Li Xin'an's desperate fighting style forced him to fight back. But with Li Xin'an's current body, he couldn't catch any of his swords.
Seeing Li Xin'an's increasingly fierce offensive, Murong Bai was a little confused. Judging from Li Xin'an's previous calculations, he shouldn't be such an impulsive person!
Feeling the heavier force on the "Fengming" sword, Murong Bai immediately understood Li Xin'an's intention.
He wants to help him refine his realm!
The fact was just as Murong Bai expected. When the scorching air wave of "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" hit him directly, Li Xin'an had a dangerous feeling. If he couldn't take this move, he would die.
In order to survive, he chose to forcefully break through to the second level.
Although it is not difficult for him to advance to the second level when he is already at the peak of the third level, the advancement of martial arts is all about time, location, and harmony, and all three are indispensable. Li Xin'an broke through before the battle, even though he caught "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" to keep his life.
He died, but his body was already in a mess. The meridians and heart vessels were blocked by the rushing internal force, and the surge of qi and blood made his body swell and feel like an explosion.
If the realm is not cleared and consolidated in time, and when Qi and blood invade the brain in reverse, Li Xin'an will inevitably go crazy.
He had no choice but to find someone to help him refine his realm and channel the violent internal energy.
The only one who could use it was Murong Bai, but Li Xin'an, who was almost the same as the young martial arts leader, was unwilling to lower his head and beg him, so he could only fight with him again and use the opportunity of competition to consolidate his realm.
He now desperately hoped that Murong Bai would give him a good beating, the harder the better!
Murong Bai secretly sighed. He was afraid that Li Xin'an would be injured and so he defended blindly. It seemed that it was against Li Xin'an's wishes. However, if Li Xin'an counterattacked, Li Xin'an would never be able to bear it.
The scene in front of him seemed familiar. Many years ago, when he had not traveled around the world, he had also rashly broken through the realm. At that time, the situation was much more serious than Li Xin'an, and Murong Bai was completely possessed.
But fortunately, his father stayed by his side and did not suppress him directly. Instead, he slowly gave Murong Bai some tricks. It took three days to restore his clarity to the possessed Murong Bai.
But he is not Murong De. He has never helped anyone refine their realm, let alone someone who has gone crazy. But fortunately, Li Xin'an is not Murong Bai either. He has not really gone crazy yet.
The tip of Murong Bai's sword shook, deflecting Li Xin'an's thrusting sword. Then "Feng Ming" clung to "Bai Hong" and the two swords were intertwined. Murong Bai turned from defense to offense.
Murong Villa's Haoran Sword Code is the world's first-class swordsmanship and martial arts. It is originally a secret that Murong Villa has not taught. When Murong Bai went crazy and became a demon, Murong De used this method to restore Murong Bai's sanity, and also allowed him to regain his consciousness unintentionally.
Understood the Haoran Sword Code.
In order to save Li Xin'an's life, Murong Bai could only do this, use the Haoran Sword Code and feed Li Xin'an moves.
"Brother Li, you have to learn the secrets of Murong Villa." Murong Bai couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't hold anything back. After all, it was all because of him that Li Xin'an fell to this point.
Looking through Li Xin'an's hazy eyes, Murong Bai's figure had become very blurry. He was now completely led away by Murong Bai, and the violent internal energy in his body gradually became docile and orderly.
He still saw my embarrassment and chose to help me... Li Xin'an smiled calmly:
Forget it, I owe you a favor.
…
Murong Bai continued to feed him until the early morning of the next day. When the white fish belly was exposed, both of them collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.
Li Xin'an was physically exhausted, but he was filled with the joy of being in the second-level realm. Murong Bai was miserable and exhausted. He not only tried his best to channel Li Xin'an's violent and chaotic internal energy, but also held back his hands to prevent him from getting hurt. It was really not easy.
.
But the most unlucky one is Li Chu. Both Li Xin'an and Murong Bai have gained something after this night, but he, a royal grandson, has stayed awake all night with these two sword idiots. At this moment, he has two big black circles under his eyes.
I was thinking about how to explain it in the morning.
He called someone, walked to Li Xin'an, and said with concern: "I asked them to take you down to rest first.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
You can stay with Master Murong at my place for now."
Li Xin'an reluctantly opened his eyes and said weakly: "Your Highness... what you said... must not be ignored..."
Li Chu's face turned pale and he nodded stiffly.
Did he really come to find Liu Tai?
of course not!
Previously, he just thought that Li Xin'an died in the hands of Murong Bai, so he pretended to be sentimental and said this to gain Murong Bai's favor.
After all, Murong Bai's identity is much easier to use than Li Xin'an.
But who would have thought that Li Xin'an was not dead and had broken through to the second level.
Li Chu had to take responsibility for what he said.
"You should have a good rest. Mr. Murong is also a sweetheart, and you will get along very happily." Li Chu forced out a smile, turned around and left.
Li Xin'an felt like she was being lifted up, her whole body felt light and she couldn't exert any strength.
He turned his head as hard as he could and glanced at Murong Bai, who was also lifted up. Murong Bai closed his eyes tightly, and there was no blood on his pale face.
"It's not very strong..."
Li Xin'an thought like this, tilted her head and fainted.
…
Murong Villa has its own property in Chang'an. Murong Bai originally planned to go there, but he unexpectedly encountered something like Li Xin'an. He was left in Li Chu's house in a coma. Even the people from Murong Villa came
Everyone who tried to find him was turned away.
After that night, he couldn't get out of bed until the third day.
He had been hungry for three days and before he could fully wake up, he smelled the aroma of wine from a distance.
Li Xin'an came from a distance with a jar of fine wine in each hand and a long sword on his waist.
Murong Bai, who was still in a hazy state while holding on to the railing, looked stunned: "Brother Li, what are you doing?"
"I'll buy you a drink." Li Xin'an shrugged and said, "Although I'm reluctant, I really want to thank you for helping me consolidate my realm. Without you, I would probably be dead now. I wouldn't have heard the news about you waking up.
You came right away? Seriously, why did you wake up so slowly? I had to reply a day earlier than you."
That's because you don't know how tiring it is to be careful all night just to save your life... Murong Bai secretly cursed, clasped his fists, and said: "I want to apologize, if I hadn't forced Brother Li to break the situation.
, Brother Li will not be in danger of his life."
Li Xin'an smiled and said: "Don't mention the past anymore, what you want to say is all in the wine!"
As he spoke, he was about to open the seals of the two jars of wine.
"No!" Murong Bai hurriedly stopped him, but he had just regained consciousness and still had no strength at all, so he just watched helplessly as Li Xin'an opened the wine seal.
The rich aroma of wine floated into his nose, like millions of silver needles piercing his head. Murong Bai's face turned pale, he backed away weakly, and bumped into a pillar. Under Li Xin'an's confused gaze,
In the middle, he lay down outside the railing and retched.
"vomit……"
"Can't you drink?" Li Xin'an looked at Murong Bai who was about to cry and said at a loss.
"...I can drink it..." Murong Bai wiped his lips and said ferociously: "But not when I just woke up after lying in bed for three full days!"
…
After Murong Bai washed up and ate a little, Li Xin'an came over and apologized to him:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Murong, I didn't mean to irritate you."
Murong Bai shook his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I know Brother Li has no ill intentions."
"Brother Li, there is no need to call me Mr. Murong anymore. Just call me Murong Bai."
"Okay, Murong Bai... Tsk, calling you by your name seems too harsh, Murong! Do you have any plans next?" Li Xin'an asked.
"Plan?" Murong Bai frowned slightly, "I came to Chang'an at the invitation of His Highness Li Chu. Although the name was to ask me to teach him swordsmanship, there was a deeper hidden secret. But Murong Villa could not help the conditions negotiated by His Highness Li Chu.
Accept it, so I don’t know what to do next.”
"As for swordsmanship, with Water Dragon Sword Immortal Nanxun and you, Brother Li, Your Highness should not be able to use me. Maybe I will return to Wu County in two days."
Li Xin'an slapped him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Since you are here, you have to stay for two more days. Why are you in such a hurry to go home? I will take you to have a nice stroll in Chang'an."
"I won't bother you anymore, Brother Li." Murong Bai was about to refuse, but Li Xin'an grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the Emperor's Sun Mansion without any explanation.
It was a hazy rain again, and the two of them held umbrellas and walked all the way to Dongshi.
The two of them came to a stop in front of a restaurant. Two streets away was the Wanhua Building, which was brightly lit at night.
The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and a group of women in well-dressed horses rode past them. They must have gone out to play polo in the city, but were blocked by the autumn rain and came back unhappy.
Seeing the handsome young master Murong Bai dressed in white and holding an umbrella standing in the drizzle, several women were fascinated.
Seeing that they were still looking back blankly even after walking far away, Li Xin'an poked Murong Bai next to him and said with a smile: "I suddenly feel that young master Murong should return to Murong Villa as soon as possible. If he stays here any longer, the entire Chang'an City will suffer."
A young girl in her spring has no thought of food or tea."
"Brother Li is joking." Murong Bai coughed and asked: "
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Why did Brother Li bring me here?"
"Tianxiang Tower has all kinds of delicacies. I'm treating you today." Li Xin'an said.
Murong Bai raised his head and looked at the huge gilded plaque. The three characters "Tianxiang Tower" were circling on the plaque. It could be seen that it was the original work of Zhang Xu.
Such a luxurious place must be extremely expensive. Murong Bai said awkwardly: "Brother Li, it really doesn't cost anything."
"What's the cost?" Li Xin'an walked up behind Murong Bai and pushed him inside, "The boss here is not an outsider."
"Is this the property of Blood Clothes Hall?" Murong Bai was very shocked. He didn't expect that Blood Clothes Hall had such strong financial resources.
"The Bloody Clothes Hall is not that rich." Li Xin'an said calmly, "This place belongs to His Highness. We come here to eat without charge!"
The two chose a table by the window on the third floor, where they could overlook the entire street.
Li Xin'an ordered two plates of "Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake", a five-pound "White Dragon", a plate of "Milk Stuffed Fish", a plate of "Onion and Vinegar Chicken", a plate of "Eight Immortals Plate", and two plates of "Camel's Hoof Soup"
” and a portion of “Chitou Chun”, a large table was filled with them.
He reached out and took the two jars of wine handed over by the waiter, and said with a smile: "Murong, you can drink now."
"That's natural." Murong Bai took the wine bowl handed over by Li Xin'an with both hands, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"I've been with the old man for a long time, and I've unknowingly contracted his habit of drinking." Li Xin'an drank two more large bowls and said with unfinished content.
"Old man?"
"Oh, it's my master Pei Min. He learned from my senior brother. He got used to it and couldn't change it." Li Xin'an smiled and continued: "I remember when I first became a disciple, the old man was not greedy for drinking. I don't know when later.
He showed his true nature and was drunk all day long. I went to the frontier to find him, and the old man secretly asked me to bring him wine, haha..."
"Mr. Pei Min's taste for wine is well known throughout the world. Some people in the world praise him, while others criticize him. But Mr. Pei Min is able to encourage the whole world without admonishing him, and to encourage the whole world to do so without hindering him. He is truly a role model for our generation.
"Murong Bai looked up in admiration.
"Don't just imitate drinking from him." Li Xin'an drank another large bowl and asked, "Murong, you must have a lot of knowledge from your travels in the world."
"I dare not say what I have experienced, but I did see many scenery and many people." Murong Bai also took a sip of a bowl, "I have traveled to the Jianghu twice, once when I was thirteen years old, and again three years ago. Now I have traveled to the Jianghu.
There are so many changes compared to before.”
"First, Zhang Guanqing, a famous martial arts master and master of Wudang Mountain, passed away, confirming the rumor that there is a realm above heaven and man, and attracted countless martial arts masters to practice in seclusion, with the intention of reaching that legendary realm. My father was fighting the demon shadow
After the battle with Ge Si Chengfeng, he was unable to come out of seclusion, so Murong Villa was almost entirely left to me to take care of."
"The headmaster of Wudang was replaced by a little-known Zhang Jingfeng. There are many speculations about this. There are rumors that Zhang Jingfeng is the next Zhang Guanqing. After all, Zhang Guanqing was not well-known when he succeeded as the headmaster of Wudang. Some people predicted This time Longhushan will also bring the Zhenshan Sword to ask Wudang, but Zhang Zifeng, the headmaster of Longhushan, did nothing but sent a congratulatory note to the new headmaster of Wudang."
"Then the Tianji Tower was replaced by another generation. The old owner Shen Guanhai traveled overseas and never came back. The new owner of the Tianji Tower, Sikong Lang, changed the Tianji Tower martial arts review once every five years to once every three years. If the death of Master Zhang Guanqing only led to If the small group of people at the top of the world are excited, this move by the new owner of Tianji Tower, Si Konglang, has truly shaken the entire world."
"Every time the Tianji Tower martial arts review will determine the life and death of a large number of small and medium-sized forces in the world, this time the martial arts review will be held every three years. In order to strengthen themselves and win a place on the martial arts review, many forces have begun to fight with each other. Small sects will be devoured in the blink of an eye, and big sects will disintegrate and die under the conspiracy. I have seen with my own eyes the corpses of hundreds of people from Benleitang, which has been in Hebei Province for decades, dumped on the grassland. The head of the hall leader Jin Wuliang was stuck on the flag of Benlei Hall that was broken into two pieces, but the government claimed that it was the work of Khitan cavalry."
Murong Bai drank another large bowl and slammed the wine bowl on the table, which seemed to show the depression in his heart.
He continued: "This is just the tragic scene at the bottom of the world. Above, those behemoths that dominate the world, such as Xueyue Villa, Qilin Academy, Hanhai Pavilion, Chuncaotang, etc., all intend to lean towards the imperial court. Some They have completely become vassals of the imperial court, such as the Iron Fist Sect of Jiangnan West Road and He Fengshan of Lingnan Road."
"Nowadays, all the disputes in the Jianghu, big and small, have the shadow of the court. If this continues, I am afraid that the Jianghu will no longer be the Jianghu of Jianghu people, but..."
He didn't say the next sentence, poured another bowl of wine, and drank by himself.
"Xia uses martial arts to break the ban, and the prosperity of the world is definitely not what the court wants to see." Li Xin'an remembered what Li Chu said.
Murong Bai continued: "Other things, such as the emergence of the magic weapon Poyun Dao in Jiannan Road, which attracted people from all over the world to rush for it, and the magic elixir refined in the Medicine God Valley that can cure all diseases, but it was stolen by the flying thief Tian Cuo overnight. , the spread of poisonous weeds in southern Xinjiang has made people panic, some are afraid, and some are happy."
He sighed, "In short, before the Devil's Cult was born, the world was already full of blood."
