Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Chapter 581 Before the War
Zhongzhou, Jinjiang City!

Ever since the news of Fang Xuan's return from the East China Sea spread throughout Kyushu, Fang Lan no longer had any interest in practicing sword.

The old immortal Zi Yao saw Fang Lan's talent in swordsmanship and was shocked by Fang Xuan's sword intent. He wanted to accept Fang Xuan as his disciple.

Now, the gap between his strength and Fang Xuan's is getting bigger and bigger. The regret can only be placed on Fang Lan. However, Fang Lan's heart is pounding because of the news about Fang Xuan. Although he has countless sword insights that he wants to pass on, the only person Fang Lan is thinking about in his heart is his brother!

In the small courtyard, under the paulownia tree.

Fang Lan looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Although she had been looking at herself in the mirror for several days, she was still not satisfied with herself in the mirror.

Even though I was just meeting my brother whom I hadn't seen for several months, I felt like a young bride meeting her groom.

Others don’t understand, only Fang Lan herself knows.

She just wanted Fang Xuan to see her best side, otherwise, given her brother's violent temper, she would have to fight the barbarians again!

This time, the Dragon Whale Army retreated southward, and under Fang Li's strategic planning, no unexpected situations occurred, and they successfully gained a foothold in Zhongzhou.

But over the past few months, everyone in the Dragon Whale Army has been living in fear.

Even Fang Lan had lost weight, making her look even more haggard.

Immortal Zi Yao came in from the archway in the backyard, looked at Fang Lan who was full of expectation, and gently raised his snow-white eyebrows, "Xiao Lan, today I will teach you the 36th move of Kunwu Sword Art. Once you have mastered this set of Kunwu Sword Art, you will be a real swordsman in the future!"

Fang Lan shook his head and suddenly said, "Master Ziyao, I don't want to learn swordsmanship anymore!"

Zi Yao was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "He was learning well and was about to graduate, why did he suddenly stop learning!"

Apart from Fang Xuan, she is a rare sword-practicing talent that the Immortal Zi Yao has met, so we can't just give up like this!

Fang Lan thought about it and sighed, "I agreed to practice swordplay in the first place, in order to stop dragging down my brother, and even to help him!"

"But Uncle Jiaolong has already told me that even if the seven Kunwu disciples of Kunwu Mountain were to unite, they would not be a match for my brother. I think I'd better not learn it."

Old Immortal Zi Yao's face immediately turned green!

Not only his own strength was questioned, but even the entire Kunwu Mountain was questioned!
But thinking back, he thought about Fang Xuan who killed nine ninth-grade martial masters alone, and he felt that what Fang Lan said was right.

No matter how strong Kunwu Mountain is, it is no match for Fang Xuan now!
The young man who had competed with him in sword power in the forest could destroy his soul with even the most ordinary sword power at this moment!

After pondering for a long time, Zi Yao said with a red face, "You can't say that. In the thousands of years of Jiuzhou martial arts, how many warriors with the talent of Fang Xuan can there be?"

"I admit that Kunwushan is no match for Fang Xuan, but when it comes to swordsmanship, no one in the entire Nine Provinces can be better than Kunwushan!"

"And with your comprehension, I believe that in a few years, you will be able to travel across the nine states. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to help Fang Xuan by then?"

"Of course, by that time, under the dedicated cultivation of Kunwu Mountain, you will be another rising star in Jiuzhou. By then, I believe Fang Xuan will be extremely proud!"

Although Immortal Zi Yao said a lot, he already began to despise his own behavior in his heart.

In order to hold on to such a kendo talent, he had to resort to both coaxing and deceiving!
"Then can we wait until Brother comes back to practice? I don't want Brother to see me in such an awkward state!"

Fang Lan lowered her head.

Seeing this, Ziyao the Elder said with a straight face: "If you practice hard now, when Fang Xuan comes back, you can still amaze him. Isn't that wonderful?"

Fang Lan was happy and happily picked up the lady's sword under the sycamore tree. Soon, under the tree on a sunny day, the graceful woman in plain clothes and holding a long sword was a picturesque scene!

City Lord's Mansion.

Zheng Anyan was sitting in a wheelchair, and Fang Li was pushing her slowly from behind.

Although Fang Li felt extremely haggard after dealing with official documents for a whole day, he was relaxed only at this moment because of the heavy things weighing on his mind.

"Fang Li, you've been dealing with documents all day, so go and have a good rest. Let Xiaohong do this kind of thing!"

Zheng Anyan looked at Fang Li, who looked haggard, and felt extremely sad.

When in Haizhou, although he was also useless, he could at least cook porridge for Fang Li and massage his shoulders.

But now, even my actions require help from others.

Fang Li suddenly stopped, and a hint of complexity appeared on his handsome face, which had grown a lot of stubble.

After pondering for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "An Yan, Chang Ping, if you hadn't blocked that knife for me, I would have been beheaded now!"

"Don't worry, I will find a way to heal your legs. My brother will be back in a few days. I'm sure he will have a way!"

As he spoke, Fang Li's eyes were determined!
In the past few months, every decision he made was related to the life and death of 500,000 people of the Dragon Whale Army. With such a huge decision, when he couldn't hold on every night, he could only hold on by constantly thinking of Fang Xuan in his heart.

Speaking of Fang Xuan, Zheng Anyan also smiled, "I heard that Brother Fang killed nine ninth-grade martial masters by himself!"

"Is the Ninth Rank Martial Master very strong? Stronger than Senior Zhao Yuming?"

Among the many warriors in the sea, Zheng Anyan has come into contact with the strongest one, Zhao Yuming, who is in the upper realm!
She also traveled around the world in the past, but she only gained a little knowledge and knew very little about the real martial arts.

Fang Li nodded seriously.

In his heart, Fang Xuan will always be the strongest!

The two of them walked through the corridor in the backyard and stopped under a paulownia tree. The bright sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves of the paulownia tree, reflecting on Zheng Anyan's beautiful face.

Zheng Anyan enjoyed the warmth and asked slowly, "Sikong Jihuai and several generals have gone to Pantai Pass these days. I heard that the whole Jinjiang City is in a panic now. Is there going to be another war?"

Fang Li did not hide it either, and nodded, saying, "Yanzhou has been very active recently. I always feel that they are going to move south in a big way!"

"If the war starts, the entire Pantai Pass will become a battlefield. I will then transfer Uncle Zheng back!"

Zheng Anyan shook her head, "Fang Li, since father has chosen Pantai Pass, he will definitely not come back now."

"With the Zheng family gone, my father is actually feeling the greatest pain. Let him stay in Pantai Pass!"

"For him, only fighting can heal the greatest trauma in his heart!"

Without waiting for Fang Li's answer, Zheng Anyan knew what Fang Li was thinking about. She pointed at the gate in front of her and said, "Fang Li, I heard that you can see the sunset and the rainbow blending together by the Jinjiang River in the evening. Can you take me to see it?"

Under the setting sun, on the streets of Jinjiang City, two figures stretched longer and longer on the street...
