The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 77 Showdown
Two quarters before noon, that is, around 10:30 in the morning, Ruan Xingzhu brought breakfast, a bowl of vegetable porridge, a plate of small pickles, and a few pancakes.

After breakfast, Li Mu continued to work hard until the sun set.

After a whole day of pondering and many attempts, Li Mu still couldn't let the sword energy of the Six Meridians Excalibur merge into the long sword.

Because when the true energy is condensed to the fingertips, sword energy has already been formed. Once it is released from the fingers, it will have a direct killing effect, and there is no transmission effect.

After comparing the Yiyang Finger and the Six Meridian Sword back and forth, Li Mu gradually felt the veins.

He finally understood that it was simply unrealistic to transform the Six Meridians Excalibur into a long sword.

In other words, after turning the Six Meridians Excalibur into a long sword, it is no longer the Six Meridians Excalibur.

Although the Six Meridians Sword is based on a yang finger, it is not a yang finger after all.

Only the Six Meridians Excalibur cast with fingers is the real Six Meridians Excalibur.

If you want to use the long sword to release the sword energy or form a sword glow, that's fine.

Li Mu slightly changed the route of the zhenqi, and then output the zhenqi from the Laogong acupoint in the palm, and poured it into the long sword.

But the sword energy released by the long sword is not the six-vein sword energy, and it cannot form the effect of the six-vein sword at all.

Sword Qi and Six Meridians Sword Qi are completely different things.

When the sword qi is shot directly, it becomes an invisible qi sword, forming a long-range assassination effect.

When it is cut out, it is a crescent-shaped air blade, causing a long-range chopping effect.

Concentrating on the body of the sword without sending it out can form a sword glow, which has an invincible melee killing effect.

But no matter what, it is impossible to have the characteristics of majesty, dexterity, erratic, or ancient clumsiness like the six meridians sword qi, let alone the six meridians come out together to form a sword array.

A weapon is an extension of an arm, but it is not a real arm after all, because a weapon has no meridians and acupoints.

After Li Muming realized this, he finally didn't force it any more. He just practiced to release the sword energy and condense the sword light, so he let go of this matter.

With sword energy and sword light, plus the sky swordsmanship, it is enough to run rampant in this world, and the six-veined sword can be regarded as one's strongest trump card.

Li Mu thought to himself, if in the future, he could use this unique skill of sword qi and light to achieve the title of sword master and sword god, would others think that he was showing his power by relying on sword skills?

If the enemy thinks that he has no sword in his hand, it is almost useless, then it will be fun.

I tried my best to make myself without a sword, thinking that I would be sure of myself, but found that I was even more terrifying without a sword. Then I asked the other party "surprised or surprised", that feeling, tsk tsk...

At a quarter o'clock in the afternoon, Ruan Xingzhu came to ask Li Mu to have dinner, and followed her back to Ruan's house, where the apprentices had dispersed.

The food was already on the table, Ruan Xiong and his wife and Ruan Baiming sat under the eaves and waited.

Seeing Li Mu coming back, Ruan Xiong got up and asked with a smile, "My nephew works hard for a day, can I gain anything?"

Li Mu nodded with a smile and said, "It's a great harvest, uncle please take a look."

As he spoke, he pulled out the long sword and held it outwards. Nine Yang True Qi moved along a specific route and poured into the body of the sword through the Laogong acupoint on the palm.

Ruan Xiong, his wife, Ruan Xingzhu and his sister and brother saw a faint purple glow on the blade of the sword.

The next moment, the purple awns stretched forward along the tip of the sword, and did not stop until it was six or seven feet long.

That purple awn is clearly a slightly illusory long sword, although the tip is hesitant, it is obviously the shape of a sword tip.

The four members of the Ruan family were stunned, and Ruan Xiong said in disbelief: "Nephew, could this be the legend..."

Li Mu nodded affirmatively, and said, "That's right, this is Jianmang, which cuts gold and cuts jade, and is invincible."

After disconnecting the true energy output, the sword glow disappeared, and Li Mu returned the sword into its sheath.

Ruan Xiong lost his mind and said: "When Master told me about this matter, he said that since the Tang Dynasty, no one has practiced sword light for nearly 200 years."

"I never imagined that the old man would be able to witness such a magical skill in his lifetime. I have no regrets in this life."

What Madam Ruan thought in her heart was that this person who has practiced a skill that no one has practiced for 200 years is her future son-in-law, that would be great.

……

They didn't drink any more tonight. After dinner, the four members of the Ruan family sat in the lobby with Li Mu and talked about serious business.

With a smile on his face, Ruan Xiong asked Li Mu: "Nephew, what are your plans for the matter between you and Xingzhu?"

Li Muluo pondered for a while, then said seriously: "Uncle, Aunt, Xingzhu, there is something I have to apologize to you."

As he spoke, he got up and clasped his fists to give a deep bow to several people.

Ruan Xiong's complexion changed slightly, Madam Ruan and Ruan Xingzhu's mother and daughter also had their hearts hanging.

Ruan Xiong asked solemnly: "What is the nephew talking about?"

Li Mu stood up and said shamelessly, "My nephew's surname is not actually Li, nor is his name Li Mu. It's just my nephew's pseudonym."

"But my nephew likes Xingzhu, and I would like to spend the rest of my life with her, so I must not hide this matter. If Xingzhu doesn't want to marry because of this, my nephew has nothing to say."

Now that she has decided to marry Ruan Xingzhu, she will know about it sooner or later.

Rather than wait until later to reveal her identity and let her blame herself for concealing it for many years, so that she has a grudge, it is better to make it clear from the beginning.

If Ruan Xiong is courageous enough, maybe he will be his great help.

Ruan Xiong and his wife looked at each other, and Mrs. Ruan tentatively asked: "Could it be that the identity of my nephew is in danger?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "You can say that."

Ruan Xiong's expression became more serious, and he said slowly: "What is the origin of the young master?"

Li Mudao: "My nephew's real name is Duan Yanqing, and he was originally the former prince of Dali Kingdom."

"What?" Ruan Xiong suddenly stood up, startled.

Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Xingzhu also looked at him in amazement. Ruan Baiming looked at this and that, a little confused about the situation, and did not dare to speak rashly.

Li Mu sighed softly, and said eloquently: "Three years ago, a rebellion broke out in Dali Kingdom. The power minister Yang Yizhen launched a mutiny. After killing my father and queen mother, he proclaimed himself emperor."

"My nephew escaped from Dali while taking advantage of the chaos, and went to the East China Sea, where he worked hard to practice his family's unique skills. After two years of martial arts success, he wanted to return to Dali to kill Yang Yizhen and regain the throne."

"So my nephew returned to Dali half a year ago, only to find out that Yang Yizhen had established herself as the empress, and only sat on the throne for four months before being executed by Shan Chanhou."

"They couldn't find their little nephew, and thought that the little nephew was no longer alive, but the country cannot live without a king, so they made their little nephew's cousin, Duan Zhengming, the emperor."

"When my nephew returned to Dali, Duan Zhengming's foundation was solid and unshakable, even my uncle who was a monk in Tianlong Temple refused to help me."

"He only wanted to pass on my Duan Clan's supreme knowledge 'Six Meridians Excalibur' as compensation, so my nephew had to leave Dali for the time being, intending to accumulate strength secretly, and wait for an opportunity to regain the throne in the future."

After listening to Li Mu's story, Ruan Xiong and his wife were speechless for a long time. They never expected that Li Mu's background would be so amazing.

Ruan Xingzhu lowered his head slightly, bit his lower lip and said, "Brother Li... Duan, if you regain the throne and become emperor, there will be many concubines in the harem, right?"

Li Mu said solemnly: "No, you are overthinking this. Although the Dali Duan family is a royal family, they are also considered people in the Jianghu, which is different from the Song Dynasty."

"We yearn even more to find a woman who truly loves us, and we will be a couple for the rest of our lives."

"No one in the court will force the emperor to marry more concubines. My cousin, Duan Zhengming, the current emperor of Dali, is just a queen."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Ruan Xingzhu raised his head, looked at him firmly and said, "If that's the case, I'm not afraid of danger, as long as my elder brother lives up to me, even if you fail to seize the throne, at worst I will die with you."

Ruan Xiong's eyes were fixed, and he was about to say something, but seeing his daughter's firm gaze, he swallowed the words again.

When the daughter grows up, she will belong to someone else's family after all!
