The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 684: The Dragnet on Tiger Hill Pagoda

Looking at Jin Banhua's sincere expression, Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and thought to himself, I don't believe you at all. You just said that you would never help me if I was in danger, and now you care about me?

After the battle, Hu Tiehua finally understood Chu Liuxiang's response and said with some fear, "You triggered his sword energy first, and then you broke his sword technique?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded, "This man's swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle. He has transformed the tangible sword into an invisible aura. My whole body has been enveloped by his sword intent and I cannot escape."

Hu Tiehua said, "I feel a little breathless even though I'm standing so far away, let alone you."

Chu Liuxiang said, "So I must break through his sword energy first, otherwise I can only let him be slaughtered."

"But you suddenly jumped up, which still scared me." Hu Tiehua said, "A mid-air strike is usually used to defeat the weak with the strong. Otherwise, if you miss, you will be in a desperate situation."

"Because I have no choice." Chu Liuxiang said, "Only in this way can I stimulate his sword energy with the leaves, and then tap him on the head with the branch before he can recover his breath."

Chu Liuxiang looked at Jin Banhua, "But because of Brother Jin's reminder, Shuai Yifan reacted quickly and crushed the branch in my hand."

Hu Tiehua looked at Jin Banhua and said, "Good boy, what you just said almost helped Shuai Yifan defeat the old bug!"

Jin Banhua sighed, "Isn't this a loss? It seems that if I want to defeat Chu Liuxiang, I still have a long way to go!"

Hu Tiehua laughed loudly and said, "Old Bug, apart from other things, is the best in the world at responding to emergencies. It's really not easy for ordinary people to beat him."

Chu Liuxiang looked at Jin Banhua and asked meaningfully, "Brother Jin, what do you think of Shuai Yifan's swordsmanship?"

Jin Banhua smacked her lips, looked at Shuai Yifan who had already gone away, and commented, "That's it."

He is far inferior to peerless swordsmen such as Yan Nantian, Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuxue, Gong Jiu, Mu Dao Ren, Xie Xiaofeng, and Yan Shisan. He is also inferior to Guo Songyang, A Fei, Jing Wuming, Gongsun Da Niang, Hongying and Lvliu.

However, his ability to condense sword energy is indeed quite unique and can be considered a unique skill.

"That was the Star-Picking Feathered Master Shuai Yifan, but in your eyes he was just like that?" Hu Tiehua laughed, "If I hadn't seen you defeat Shi Guanyin with your sword with my own eyes, I would have thought you were bragging!"

"I never brag!" Jin Banhua held her head high and said, "If I attack, Shuai Yifan won't be able to block my sword!"

Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua looked at each other.

They really couldn't tell whether Jin Banhua was bragging or telling the truth without knowing her own strength.

In the eyes of the two, even if Shuai Yifan's swordsmanship was not the best in the world, it was still among the best. It was almost a pipe dream to want to defeat him with just one move.

Even if Master Gu of Bashan were reborn, or the Patriarch of Huashan was resurrected, they would not be able to defeat Shuai Yifan with just one move.

"In any case, we have finally passed Shuai Yifan." Chu Liuxiang's gaze passed Lu Yu Tea Pavilion and looked towards the road leading to the mountains.

"Shuai Yifan is only the first hurdle. It seems that Liu Wumei and the others have invested a lot of money this time!" Hu Tiehua said, "I wonder who is waiting for us behind?"

"Just go up and take a look, and see how many levels Chu Liuxiang can pass!" Jin Banhua rubbed his hands with a smile.

……

The dusk deepened and the weather grew colder.

The three continued climbing the mountain and soon passed the Mandarin Duck Tomb, the Sword-Testing Stone, and the Immortal Cave, but did not find the Yongcui Villa.

Hu Tiehua asked, "You haven't been to the Yongcui Villa either?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head, "No, I just heard that this Yongcui Villa embraces the distant mountains and overlooks Taihu Lake. The sand birds and sails, smoke clouds and bamboo trees are the most beautiful scenery in the whole mountain."

At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker. Somewhere in the distance, a lantern was lit up, swaying in the wind. Hu Tiehua took a deep breath and asked, "What's this?"

Jin Banhua smiled and said, "This should be the second level after Shuai Yifan. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded, "Of course we have to go and take a look. Otherwise, if we really break into Yongcui Villa at night, won't we be regarded as bad guys?"

So the three of them quickly rushed to the lantern and found that there was only a seven-story tower there.

There was no one around the tower, and the surroundings were cold and desolate, with only the whistling wind.

The red lantern was hung at the highest point of the tower eaves, illuminating a line of words written on the outer wall of the seventh floor of the stone tower.

Hu Tiehua squinted his eyes and looked carefully, but couldn't make out what was written on it, so he could only ask Chu Liuxiang and Jin Banhua, "Can you see what is written on it?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head, and Jin Banhua also shook his head.

Hu Tiehua wanted to go up, but Chu Liuxiang stopped him and decided to go up himself.

"Since they are targeting me, then naturally I will go up." Chu Liuxiang said calmly, "I also want to see what kind of trap they are going to use against me."

As soon as the words fell, his figure flew up.

Chu Liuxiang was like a light swallow, or an elegant wild goose. His movements were lighter and his body was faster than any other person Jin Banhua had ever seen.

Maybe he is not as good as Yan Nantian who has abundant internal energy when traveling long distances, but whether it is short-distance running or maneuvering in a confined space, he is worse than Lu Xiaofeng who is of similar type to him.

Maybe this is because he doesn't breathe through his nose, so he doesn't need to breathe?

Just as Jin Banhua was admiring Chu Liuxiang's lightness skills, Chu Liuxiang had already flown to the top of the tower and could clearly see the words on it.

【Chu Liuxiang died here.】

Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed, and he was about to leave the tower.

But just as he moved, a huge net suddenly fell from the top of the tower.

This huge net has a very wide range, and it emits wisps of light under the illumination of the lanterns. It is obviously not an ordinary fishing net, but one with gold and iron wires, so it comes very quickly.

But the giant net is fast, and Chu Liuxiang is even faster.

But just when Chu Liuxiang was about to escape, a hook-and-sickle spear suddenly emerged from the fifth floor of the tower.

Chu Liuxiang flipped out backwards and avoided the hook-and-sickle spear, but was ultimately unable to escape the giant net. He was caught in it and then lifted up in the air by the hook-and-sickle spear.

These exchanges were so quick and agile that in almost the blink of an eye, Chu Liuxiang had fallen into the trap.

Hu Tiehua was horrified and had no time to talk to Jin Banhua. Instead, he drew out a dagger, tapped the ground, and climbed up the tower to cut the giant net.

But just as he climbed up the tower, a giant suddenly appeared on the top of the tower.

Hu Tiehua fought with the giant twice and tried his best to force the giant back, but the hook-and-sickle spear retracted and stretched, and while pressing two acupoints of Chu Liuxiang, it hit Hu Tiehua with Chu Liuxiang.

Then the two of them climbed down the tower together.
