Big Moon Ballad

1139 submerged
When he met Li Ji for the first time, he was already the pinnacle of the fourth rank.

Every time Ying Baoyue recalled that red moon night, she was amazed at her audacity to meet such a quasi-grandmaster at such a strange time and place, yet not leave immediately.

Compared with the heavenly masters who cannot attack ordinary people, fourth-rank masters are more dangerous existences, because they can make countless lives disappear in smoke with just one raise of their hands.

When she and him first met, he was sitting in a coffin with a ghostly mask on his face, and the aura on his body was as deep as an abyss, like a god of death.

From him, she got the date of her own death.

The pair of pitch-black eyes peeking out from the mask revealed the fact that she could only live for one year without hesitation.

What a dark and cold Grim Reaper.

But at that time, Ying Baoyue didn't know what she was thinking, and she wasn't afraid of him at all, probably because she thought that such a powerful practitioner would not have any intersection with her in the future.

She thought they would never see each other again, but she didn't expect that from the former Qin Dynasty to the Southern Chu, from the Southern Chu to the Eastern Wu, they stood side by side countless times by accident and by each other's side.

When she was in the former Qin Dynasty and the Southern Chu Dynasty, she didn't know his identity, his family, his country, his school, his teacher, nothing, but even so, she only knew one thing.

That is he is strong.

Although he was at the fourth rank, Li Ji's aura was deeper than the usual fourth rank. Later, Ying Baoyue realized that it was because Li Ji's aura had approached the heavenly rank from the very beginning. He already has the ability to break through the sky level, but he is stuck at that level.

Breaking through the situation is a gamble of his life for him.

And he actually went to gamble.

and become stronger.

When helping him break through, she didn't think much about it, but she didn't want such a persistent and powerful practitioner to disappear into the world like this. what return.

But she didn't expect that he, who had just broken through and was weak, stood between her and Ji Mo like a real heavenly practitioner.

On that day, his strength was really exciting.

But it was also on that day that she knew one of his identities.

Among the six sons of the Warring States Period, the highest and most mysterious one is Mr. Zhaohua.

Zhuobi Yunhan, Zhaohui to the sky.

Zhao means bright.

Ying Baoyue didn't know why he took such a name. To be honest, he really didn't resemble this name.

Not to mention telling the world, everything about him is hidden under the water.

"Look, Mr. Zhaohua is on stage!"

"Mr. Zhaohua...can you beat King Di of Xirong?"

"That's impossible? Don't forget that Mr. Zhaohua is a heavenly rank!"

"But Mr. Zhaohua sealed the realm, didn't he? Besides, is Mr. Zhaohua really as strong as you say? I heard that he would not fight back when he was provoked in Hanshan Academy, and he never even showed his sword skills. I heard that The sword has never been drawn, will he know how to use a sword?"

Listening to the discussions of the people around, Ying Baoyue smiled wryly.

Li Ji is the youngest Tianjie, and probably the least known Tianjie.

He is too low-key.

He is powerful, but powerful and quiet.

"Who said my second elder brother can't use a sword anymore? He just doesn't want to argue with those villains!" Zhao Guang jumped angrily on the side, "It's just that those people are not worthy of him drawing a sword!"

"Didn't Li Ji never draw his sword when he was in Soochow?" Ying Baoyue was a little surprised when she heard the words. We all know that Li Ji is very powerful, so why do the people of Soochow seem so unfamiliar with his strength?
"In the past...it was really rare," Zhao Guang looked at her with a complicated expression, "There is something wrong with the sword that the second brother used before."

Zhao Guang thought of the sword wrapped in cloth that he had left beside Li Ji's bed in Shi'an Yuan.

Li Ji couldn't pull out the sword, but he still took the sword with him as a treasure, and he didn't bury the sword back in the land until the sword began to restrain him from breaking through.

It's just that after burying the sword, Li Ji rarely draws his sword. There are not many things in this world that are worth drawing his sword. They are just observers wandering among the six kingdoms. His indifference until the end of his life, when Li Ji can pull out the sword, that is when he will plunge the sword edge into the heart of the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Li Ji broke all this early.

Zhao Guang knew why Ying Baoyue was so surprised.

"But he still draws his sword occasionally," Zhao Guang smiled, "it's just not in front of people, otherwise how would he practice sword."

"That's true," Ying Baoyue smiled, "I'm really curious about how he uses the magic sword."

After all, they belonged to the same sword sect now, and she might still be able to gain some enlightenment from Li Ji's swordsmanship.

Ying Baoyue looked intently at the stage, but didn't notice that Zhao Guang was looking at her back for a moment.

Li Ji also drew his sword in front of others.

Zhao Guang fixedly stared at Ying Baoyue, thinking of Li Ji who drew his sword at the Great Court Meeting, he sighed deeply in his heart.

At that time, he was protecting you, silly girl.

Some things, I am afraid that only he, a bystander for ten years, can realize, and he can't even tell Li Ji, because it will only make Li Ji who has his own heart more painful.

He could only pretend he didn't know anything.

"Battle begins!"

At this time, the examiner on the high platform shouted, and everyone in the audience opened their eyes wide.

This is destined to be the most eye-catching matchup in the first round.

Xirong's traditional costumes are colorful, with tinkling accessories and feathers of wild animals hanging on them, making people dazzled. The costume that belonged to King Zhai on Chunyuye's body was even more gorgeous. He pulled out a long knife inlaid with precious stones , different from his name, his whole body was scorching like a fire under the sun.

But Li Ji standing in front of him was as quiet as a piece of black jade.

Wearing a green robe, a long sword, and nothing else on him.

Don't show your face, don't distinguish between emotions and anger.

Nothing at all.

The two stood motionless facing each other, but the exchange of true energy had already begun.

"Actually, I have something. I have always felt very sorry for Zhaohua." Under the high platform, looking at Li Ji who was quietly confronting Chunyuye, Ji Jiashu suddenly opened his mouth.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Guang looked at him puzzled.

"I always felt that he played better than me in the Six Arts Competition before," Ji Jiashu said quietly, but in the final result of the vote, he was the second and Li Ji was the third.

Ji Jiashu always felt that it might be the influence of reputation.

"Ah, you don't have to care about this matter," but Ji Jiashu didn't expect Zhao Guang to wave his hand indifferently, "That's his own problem, he doesn't want to show his face to canvass votes, can it be that you blame Chunhua Jun for failing?"

"Show your face... soliciting votes?" Ji Jiashu was a little dazed when he heard this.

"Hey, if he is willing to show his face, I don't know how many people are willing to vote for him," Zhao Guang giggled, "I have almost forgotten what he looks like after so many years, I only remember that he was as pretty as a girl when he was young. he……"

Zhao Guang couldn't speak, and Ying Baoyue, who was listening with pricked ears, froze.

Because at this moment, Li Ji on the stage moved.

No one saw how he moved the sword, but Ying Baoyue could no longer hear the surrounding voices.

pouloo.

The moment Li Ji's sword moved, she only felt that there was a flood of water rushing towards her.

drown her.
