Chapter 31 Seizing the Jade
"Zheng!"
With a sharp sound, the sword in Liu Chengfeng's hand was shaken by something, and his whole arm felt numb. When he was about to fight back, the figure flashed by and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The next moment, it suddenly appeared behind him.
"What a fast speed..."
Ye Runian in the distance was also startled. Just now, he only saw a white shadow flashing. Not to mention that he couldn't see it, even the elders on the high platform couldn't see who it was.
Liu Chengfeng felt the strong wind coming from behind him, turned around and slashed with a sword. This sword slashed out and did hit the shadow, but the shadow slowly dispersed, but it was a phantom.
The next moment, before Liu Chengfeng could react, the figure attacked from the other side. In a short moment, the shadows in this area overlapped, as if there were shadows attacking from all directions, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"
Three consecutive sounds, Liu Chengfeng hit the target three times, but each time he hit the target, the opponent disappeared in an instant, and he still couldn't see the opponent's appearance clearly.
This time, not only were all the disciples outside the square stunned, but even the elders on the high platform were also shocked. Who on earth was that person? His speed was so fast that even they couldn't tell it apart. It was really unpredictable!
The figure was undoubtedly Xiao Yichen. He knew that he was not as good as Liu Chengfeng, so he didn't dare to confront him head-on. He could only use the "Lingxian Step" taught by his master to the extreme, so that the opponent couldn't tell the real from the fake. At the same time, he used the pine stick in his hand as a sword, stabbing, chopping or picking, constantly disturbing Liu Chengfeng's mind, and then waiting for an opportunity to seize the jade ruyi in this person's hand.
At this moment, Liu Chengfeng didn't even see the opponent's appearance, and didn't know what weapon the opponent was using, let alone what the opponent's moves were, where the next move would come from, and where to hit him. He didn't know all this, and he was already in a deep passive position!
Suddenly, he urged all his true energy, and his profound strength shook. This shock was extremely fierce. Yichen felt a tightness in his chest. If he hadn't used the Nine Yin and Nine Yang profound skills in time to protect his heart, he would have been seriously injured.
At this moment, Liu Chengfeng finally saw him. He didn't have time to raise his sword, and he hit him with a sharp palm. Yichen reacted so quickly that he started the Lingxian Step again, and in an instant he turned into a fast shadow and disappeared. While Liu Chengfeng hadn't reacted yet, he used the pine stick as a sword and stabbed three times in a row.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three consecutive swords hit Liu Chengfeng's "Qi Hu Point" under his left shoulder, "Zi Gong Point" and "Yu Tang Point" on his chest accurately. Although the pine stick had no killing power, it was lighter and softer than the sword, and it was also equipped with the profound strength of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang. Liu Chengfeng immediately felt a shock all over his body.
The next moment, Yichen went around him again, and the pine stick in his hand lifted his wrist. Liu Chengfeng immediately felt his whole arm numb, and before he could react, the jade ruyi in his hand had been swept away by the pine stick.
After getting the jade ruyi, Yichen no longer wanted to fight, and with a tap of his feet, his body had already landed in front of Ruan Fuling, who was more than ten feet away, while the jade ruyi was still spinning on the pine stick, and he finally grabbed it in his hand.
At this moment, everyone saw clearly that it was a young man in white clothes, but the young man was unfamiliar. Which master's disciple was he? He was so capable that he took the jade ruyi from Liu Chengfeng in just a short moment without using any Taoist magic.
Several elders on the high platform also stood up at once, looking at the young man in white with astonishment. This young man, this young man is...
"Where did this little thief come from!"
Liu Chengfeng seemed to be furious. Just now, the other party clearly had no ability to hurt him, but he stole the jade ruyi in his hand with that strange body movement and swordsmanship. How could he accept this?
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Yichen. Although he had appeared here three years ago, he was covered in mud at that time. Who would associate the two together?
"You...are you Xiao Yichen?"
On the high platform, an elder finally asked in surprise. It was not that he recognized Xiao Yichen, but the footwork that the boy had just performed was very similar to the Lingxian step of Yaoguang Zun. Since it was the Lingxian step, who else could it be except the disciple that Yaoguang Zun accepted three years ago?
As soon as these words came out, all the disciples in the square lost their color one after another. This... is this the ignorant boy who was so gray and contradicted Master Yaoguang back then?
At this moment, Ruan Fuling, who was standing next to him, seemed to be stunned.
On the other side, Liu Chengfeng also focused his eyes. It was not because Xiao Yichen was the only disciple of Fairy Miaoyin, but because this person had only practiced Taoism for more than ten years at most. But he was shocked by him just now. Why can he still stand here safely at this time?
The elders on the high platform were surprised and doubtful, and they also thought of this layer. Looking at Xiao Yichen's appearance, he had only practiced Taoism for more than ten years at most. After more than ten years of Taoism, Liu Chengfeng just shook him like that. He must have broken his bones instantly, but why was he not hurt at all? It's too unreasonable...
Seeing the gazes coming from all around, Yichen looked at Liu Chengfeng and smiled, "Yes, it's me. Now tell me, is Fairy Miaoyin's skills the best in the world?"
Liu Chengfeng's face was gloomy, and his fingers were creaking. If he hadn't consumed too much energy to resist Ruan Fuling's Ten Thousand Swords, what would this person do even if he had Lingxian Steps?
Just when he was about to have another attack, a hand behind him pressed on his shoulder. Ye Runian walked up at some point, looked at Xiao Yichen and said with a faint smile, "The 'Ling Xianbu' fruit on Yaoguang Zun." It’s a well-deserved reputation. I’m honored to see it with my own eyes today and admire it.”
After saying that, he saw him bowing his hands to the elders on the high platform, "Ye and his junior brother, let's take our leave first." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Chengfeng next to him.
But Liu Chengfeng seemed very unconvinced. He looked at Yichen and said coldly, "Famous teachers may not be able to produce great disciples. Three years after starting the apprenticeship, they are only in the early stages of refining Qi."
As soon as these words came out, many people around him were startled. He was in the early stage of refining Qi? How can it be? Several elders on the high platform also changed their expressions. They could naturally see that Xiao Yichen's Taoist skills were still very low. If he hadn't possessed the Lingxian Steps and Liu Chengfeng had consumed a lot of his true energy before, he would never have been his opponent. As for blocking him, The force of that shock should be the magic weapon given to him by Yaoguang Zun.
Yichen said nonchalantly, "Yeah, it's the early stage of refining Qi, but luckily I got this jade..." Before he could finish his words, an invisible sword energy came out with a sharp "bang", and instantly left a mark at his feet. There was a sword mark.
"Wait until you are qualified to participate in the Tianmen Martial Arts Competition before you say anything like this again."
Liu Chengfeng flicked his sleeves, turned around and left. The invisible sword energy just came from him. Several elders on the high platform were shocked. He could actually activate such a powerful invisible sword energy. Even though It was Xiao Yichen who was carrying the Lingxian Step and was determined not to avoid it.
Yichen looked at the sword marks under his feet and just snorted coldly, "Isn't it amazing to be qualified to participate in the Tianmen Martial Arts Competition?"
After a while, several elders on the high platform looked at each other. Although no third person was allowed to intervene in the "worship", Xiao Yichen's "stirring up" in the end came at the right time, otherwise Xuan Qingmen would not be able to get off the stage today. .
"Sister, this is for you."
Yichen stopped thinking so much and handed the jade Ruyi in his hand to Fuling. Fuling was slightly startled. Originally, she was defeated by Liu Chengfeng, so she was too embarrassed to pick up the jade Ruyi, but at this moment she didn't know Why, he slowly reached out and caught it.
"Ouch! I forgot that master asked me to go back early. I have to leave! Goodbye, senior sister, and goodbye to the elders!"
Yichen handed Yu Ruyi to Ruan Fuling, patted his forehead, and immediately rode the sword light towards Zixiao Peak, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Many people here still seemed to be in a dream, but at this moment on another mountain in the distance, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was seen in fluttering feathers, like a fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world.
"If I hadn't been late, you wouldn't have had the chance to shine. Hum, Xiao Yichen, I will remember you..."
The light shadow flickered, and the girl's graceful figure disappeared into the depths of the clouds again.
…
It was already afternoon when we returned to Zixiao Peak. Yichen walked to Yaoguang Hall and shouted, "Master, I'm back!" However, after shouting for a long time, there was no reply from the master. Is the master not there again? Simply sit down cross-legged and do your exercises in this hall to adjust your breath.
After burning a stick of incense, Yichen had circulated his profound energy for two days, but he still felt that something was lacking. He thought over and over again about the battle with Liu Chengfeng down below. The Xuan Kung taught by Senior Timely Movement Monster protects the heart, and I'm afraid he will have to be seriously injured on the spot. And if this person hadn't consumed so much with Senior Sister Poria from the beginning, even if he had Xuan Kung to protect his body, he might not be able to withstand it.
Thinking of this, Yichen couldn't help but frowned deeply. Others were making continuous progress for the Tianmen Martial Arts Competition three years later, but as the only disciple of his master, his cultivation progress was so slow. What if three years later? He couldn't even enter the threshold of Tianmen. What he was losing was not his own face, but his master's face.
Just below, Liu Chengfeng's last words were clearly looking down on himself. Even the elders did not refute him. Didn't they agree with Liu Chengfeng's words? I feel like I am completely separated from this person...
"Tao Xing Cultivation..."
Yichen took out the elixir given by Elder Songhe from his sleeve and looked at it carefully. This elixir gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and can help him greatly increase his cultivation level. As long as he takes this elixir, he will achieve a breakthrough in the realm of Taoism. , it’s just around the corner.
Thinking of this, the young man's eyes gradually became hot. At this moment, a non-cold voice came from outside: "Chen'er, you are back."
"Master?"
Yichen was startled and hurriedly hid the elixir in his arms. Ling Yin saw him sneaking something into his arms and raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing?"
"No, no, I'm waiting for Master to come back." Yichen said with a smile and scratched his head.
"Well?" Ling Yin saw that he had a strange look on his face, walked over, looked into his arms again, and said, "What did you hide just now?"
"No, there's no way. Master must be blinded..."
"take it out!"
Ling Yin stretched out her hand and reached into his arms. Yichen quickly stepped aside and said with a smile, "Master, do you want to test your apprentice's cultivation? Okay!" After that, he parried in a decent manner. stand up.
“Stop being so glib and don’t take things out yet!”
Ling Yin's fingers were like lightning, and she instantly reached into his arms and took out the elixir. After taking a closer look, her expression changed, "Purple Infant Pill? Where did you get this elixir?"
"This this……"
Yichen scratched his head. He didn't expect the master's reaction to be so fierce. Seeing him hesitating, Ling Yin's face suddenly became more gloomy, as if a layer of frost had instantly enveloped her. "I'm asking you something! Say it!"
