That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 700 Today's Ten Mysteries

The pirates on the ship have long been familiar with this scene. People who live at sea all year round, whether they are pirates or pirates, most of them cannot be transported back to land after they die at sea, so they directly bury their bodies in the sea. Call it a sea burial.

The middle-aged man waved his hand again, and the faces of all the pirates kneeling in front of him immediately turned pale, but no one dared to beg for mercy, and still tremblingly drew out his own saber, and then accompanied by screams one after another, one by one was dripping with blood. The palm of his hand fell to the deck, and the pirates could no longer hold the knife, holding their own severed wrist, howling miserably.

The middle-aged man was indifferent to the bloody scene in front of him, and his expression did not change at all. He was obviously a man with a deep and ruthless temperament. He said calmly, "Go down and bandage the wound."

All the sea bandits with severed hands felt like they had been pardoned immediately, enduring the excruciating pain, and hurriedly left the place.

The gloomy old man's demeanor is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to hurt people, making people's backs chill, and said in a deep voice: "Ma Dong is a martial artist of the first rank after all, but he was snatched away without even half the strength to fight back. The knife in his hand, and he died cleanly and directly under his own knife, this is no longer something that monks in the ghost realm can do, it must be done in the human realm."

The middle-aged man put his hands on the armrests, then stood up, looked at the sea outside the boat, and muttered to himself: "Jianzong Yujianshu, a young man with a white head, could it be that Xu Beiyou came personally? But it makes no sense, Xu Beiyou knew clearly Wei Guo is His Royal Highness's back residence, and if he dares to come alone, isn't he afraid that His Highness will let him stay in Wei Guo for the rest of his life?"

The gloomy old man said with a sly smile: "There are thousands of different arts in the world, and there are many people who have turned white overnight because of a mistake in their practice. It's just that the young master of the Sword Sect is the most famous. The old man has heard that there is one in the Sword Sect Men Kuji swordsmanship, after practice, the whole person will be as white as snow and withered as a tree, rejuvenate once every ten years, and after nine times rejuvenate, you will be able to achieve great success, stepping into the realm above the twelfth floor of the earth immortal, it is extremely mysterious."

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "He Lao means that this white-headed young man cannot be the young master of the Sword Sect Xu Beiyou, but just an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect."

The old man known as "Old Crane" sneered: "Maybe he is not even a disciple of Jianzong. Jianzong has been in Wei for nearly a thousand years. Except for the supreme secret sword 36, other methods have been passed down more or less. If you come out, you will not necessarily be a disciple of Jianzong if you know how to control the sword with one hand."

The middle-aged man kept crossing his hands and fingers, and after pondering for a while, he ordered: "Send my order, send four ships over there, don't get close, just bombard with artillery in turns from a distance, whoever can sink that lucky boat, A reward of one hundred taels of gold."

A pirate leader led the way.

To have such a battle in the East China Sea, apart from the already fading Zhong Dahui, the only one left is Zheng Kuiqi who is in full swing.

The Dragon Lord withdrew his gaze from the sea, and there was an imperceptible gloom in his eyes. The reason why he appeared here can only be regarded as a coincidence, and Ma Dong's boat did not come here specially to rob, but As the scout of the entire fleet, he took a step ahead to prevent the main ship from falling into the siege trap of others. After encountering this sea-going ship that had never hoisted the flag of Zheng's order, Director Ma only made a temporary decision.

From this point of view, it seems that this is not a trap, and the unknown monk did not come for himself.

Zheng Kuiqi touched the handle of the knife at his waist and asked, "I heard that Mr. Xu has returned to Jiangdu from the imperial capital?"

He Lao said plainly: "Lan Yu resigned from the position of chief assistant and returned to his hometown. Han Xuan, the former cabinet assistant, became the new cabinet chief assistant. As Han Xuan's adopted son, Mr. Xu has another layer of status as the emperor's son-in-law. He is called Xiaoge Lao in the court, which shows his power. This time he took that Princess Qiyang back to Jiangdu, not only for the purpose of returning to his hometown, but more importantly for the Taoist workshop. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor Giving the Daoshu workshop to Jianzong and changing its name to Qingfengfang is tantamount to hitting the face of the Daoist sect severely. How can the Daoist sect swallow this breath? There must be a claim back, I guess At this moment, Mr. Xu should be busy dealing with the Daoist sect, so there is no leisure to come to our country of Wei."

Zheng Kuiqi nodded thoughtfully.

A round of red sun is gradually moving westward. At this time, there is a wind blowing from the sea. Although it is still mixed with chill, it is not too biting. I think it will be warm in a short time.

Sun Shiwu finally looked away from the sea, took out a book from the bookcase behind him, and slowly flipped through it with his fingers dipped in his saliva, concentrating on it.

Xu Beiyou flicked his fingers lightly, and a ray of sword energy shot into the sea water. It was not a straight stab to the end, but a swimming fish meandering in the water, full of spirituality.

After Xu Beiyou set foot on the Ninth Floor of the Earth Immortal, combined with his experience of stepping on the Eighteenth Floor of the Earth Immortal twice, he gained a lot of insights, especially the way of the sword. The meaning of harmony, combined with the lost and recovered Dragon and Tiger Alchemy, even if Xu Beiyou does not rely on the Twelve Swords of Jianzong this time, he is expected to set foot on the Tenth Floor of the Earth Immortal within two years.Although there is still a long distance from the top ten people in the world on the list of secrets, at Xu Beiyou's current age, it is quite shocking to be able to achieve such a level of cultivation.

When it comes to the top ten people in the world, I have to say that this time the Tianji list is undoubtedly very fair. Except for Xiao Shen, Chen Ye and other very rare exceptions, all the masters of the world were recruited, especially after Qingchen failed to ascend, Sapphire A slight adjustment was made, from the original ten people to 11 people. Qiuye is still the well-deserved No.1 in the world. Afterwards, from Wanyan Beiyue in the third place to Lanyu in the sixth place, they all moved forward. , but Wanyan Beiyue and Murong Xuanyin tied for second place instead, Qiuyue, the abbot of Buddhism, ranked fourth, Lan Yu herself ranked fifth, and the vacated third place was filled by Xiao Shen, the patriarch of the Xiao clan. For this result, Xu Beiyou didn't think it was unexpected. After all, Xiao Shen is the oldest monk in the world.

Next is Bingchen, who was originally ranked seventh in Taiyi's Rescue of Ku Tianzun. Because of her serious injuries in the battle of Mingling, her position remained unchanged. Chen Ye, the master of the Daomen Town Demon Palace, made up and became the new sixth person in the world.

Xu Beiyou couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart, the sixth person in the world, he is two ranks higher than the old chief assistant Sun Shiwu next to him, he is truly in the eighteenth floor of the immortal realm, and there are many townspeople It is three points more difficult for the masters of the Demon Palace to be driven by him than the Earth Immortal who is alone.

Xu Beiyou squinted his eyes, remembering the battle between Master and Chen Ye when he was in Julu City. In that battle, Chen Ye used 28 thunder beads to form a thunder pool formation, which was spectacular.

At that time, the master sacrificed Zhu Xian, who was the number one killer, and crossed the thunder pool with one sword.

If I were replaced by today's self, would I still have this ability and confidence?
Immediately afterwards, Xu Beiyou thought of his master, Gongsun Zhongmou. If the master was still alive at this time, would he be able to step into the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal?If he had set foot on the eighteenth floor of the Earth Immortal, how would he be ranked among the top ten people in the world?
