The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 227 The Way of the Sea

Lu Jian did not use any sophisticated sword skills. The wooden sword in his hand was just the first martial art he learned, "Breaking Water Sword Technique".

This sword technique carries the beautiful memories of his first love as a teenager and practicing sword with his sweetheart.

Although this set of swordsmanship originated from Gong Yangyu's "Gui Zang Sword", it can only be regarded as a second-rate swordsmanship, let alone in the present world, even if it is placed in "Cang Hai".

But in Lu Jian's hands, it turned from decay to magic, and its power was not only ten times stronger than the founder of this sword technique, but even a hundred times stronger.

After becoming a master, even the crudest martial arts can be transformed into something magical in your hands.

It is the simplicity of the great way and the return to nature that restores the essence of Gong Yangyu's "Gui Zang Sword", emphasizing meaning rather than form.

Around Fang Xun's body, streams of transparent energy were flying around, like streams of water, bending and straight as he wished.

He also only used a set of "Tianshui Shifang Sword" from the West City Water Department.

The two of them both responded with gentleness. Each sword seemed to be as pervasive as water and could reach anywhere, just like a fairy weaving a shuttle.

But each sword failed to penetrate within three feet of the opponent's body.

They were just warming up and hadn't started any serious action yet, but there was a constant rumbling sound. The aftermath of the energy was enough to make the steep cliffs tremble, and large amounts of earth and rocks were exploding and falling every moment.

In just a moment, the two men fought from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff for more than two hundred moves, and their feet were about to sink into the sea.

But the wooden sword in Lu Jian's hand broke into pieces.

This wooden sword was just the wooden sword he used for practice in his childhood, and it was not some magical weapon.

Although it was protected by strong force, it could not withstand such a violent collision and shattered.

Lu Jian lost his weapon, but Fang Xun didn't relax. Instead, he became even more serious.

He knew that Lu Jian was most famous not for his swordsmanship, but for his hands that were neither physical nor divine, but both physical and divine, reaching up to the azure sky above and down to the earthly world below!

Sure enough, after the wooden sword in Lu Jian's hand shattered, a hint of arrogance naturally revealed in his eyes, and he pushed out a pair of flesh palms flatly, heading straight towards the sharp edge of "Listening to the Spring Rain in the Small Building All Night".

At this moment, Lu Jian no longer had the temperament of a boy next door. His expression was extremely domineering, just like the "I am the only one" in "King Kong Power"!
Fang Xun felt a tremendous force coming towards him, the force was like a wall or a mountain, but he was not afraid at all and had no intention of retreating.

boom--

When the palm and the sword collided, huge waves tens of feet high instantly rose on the sea surface, and then exploded. For a moment, it was like a torrential rain falling on the sea.

However, Lu Jian only felt a more terrifying force coming at him, and his body was forced to fly back involuntarily during the collision.

Before he retreated more than three feet, Lu Jian only felt a figure flash before his eyes, and saw Fang Xun leap high into the sky, and then swooped down from the air, like a mountain pressing down on his head.

boom--

In an instant, the eight circulating forces filled the void, layer upon layer, and the eight forces circulated rapidly and grew stronger. The invisible force even caused rapidly rotating whirlpools to appear faintly on the sea surface!

Lu Jian immediately felt a sense of oppression descending upon his body. He was very familiar with the martial arts that Fang Xun was using, it was the "Zhou Liuxu Gong".

Moreover, the other party's comprehension of the Eight Circulating Powers has completely surpassed Wan Guizang.

Wan Guizang's "Zhou Liuxu Gong" could never be perfected, so he could only become stronger when facing a strong opponent, and fight with others with great strength and ferocity. Otherwise, he would not be able to find the flaws and defeat them.

But Fang Xun's Circulating Eight Powers could be released and retracted freely. Before he could concentrate, he still needed to spread his true energy around and slowly build up momentum.

After breaking through the divine will, with just a fluctuation of his mind, the eight forces would instantly fill the heaven and earth, oppressing the enemy like an invisible millstone.

Facing Fang Xun's overwhelming and powerful attack, Lu Jian knew that his opponent had endless tricks up his sleeve, and the Circulating Eight Powers could continue to grow, circulating and generating endless power of heaven and earth, which was far from the limit that Fang Xun could withstand.

Moreover, he was far inferior to his opponent in both martial arts and physique. If he just fought hard, he might be able to block one or ten moves of Fang Xun, but he would never be able to block a hundred or a thousand moves of the opponent.

In a flash, Lu Jian made up his mind and suddenly put his hands together, with no expression of joy or sadness.

"Everything is empty and silent!"

In an instant, Lu Jian's egocentric attitude disappeared, and the energy in his body was restrained. Like a hollow bamboo, his body disappeared into the void in an instant.

The Power of the Great Vajra - The Emptiness of All Things
All things were empty and the energy was deeply hidden. After Lu Jian gathered the energy in his body, he quickly moved to another place.

Although Fang Xun's eyes gleamed, he could only catch the trajectory of Lu Jian's movement within a range of ten feet, which shows how fast his speed was.

"Good fellow, even the Great Void Eyes cannot see through Lu Jian's form of emptiness of all things!"

With a flash of thought, Fang Xun suddenly put away his sword and landed on the sea, standing firmly. The whirlpool on the surrounding sea surface suddenly subsided.

The sea was calm and the clouds were light, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.

The eight forces circulate around the body and are released and received by the heart. This state has completely surpassed Wan Guizang.

But just as Fang Xun stood still, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing from behind.

"How foolish and stupid!"

But Lu Jian's figure appeared behind Fang Xun again without him noticing, with a simple and naive look on his face.

Monk Yu's "great foolishness and clumsiness" was revealed naturally, and he delivered a punch that appeared clumsy yet clever!
The next moment, the air around the two of them seemed to solidify, and the eight circulating energies gathered to form eight layers of air walls like copper walls and iron walls that pressed towards Lu Jian.

Boom——

A punch hit the air, like the sound of thunder, but the tough air wall still couldn't stop Lu Jian's punch!

When his fist touched the air wall, Lu Jian, who possessed the 'Heaven-Repairing Hand', immediately knew the truth and the trajectory of the air wall's power was clear in his mind.

He saw his fist turn slightly halfway, avoiding the real and attacking the fake, just like a butcher cutting an ox, cutting into the weakest point of the air wall with a perfect trajectory.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-

When the fist force entangled and collided with the air wall, a series of thunder-like sounds were heard.

Every time Lu Jian's fist broke through a layer of the air wall, the back force would come before the front force dissipated. The power of the fist not only did not decrease, but instead became even stronger.

In just a flash, the eight air walls were broken by Lu Jian with eight muffled thunders.

At this time, the power of his fist had also reached the eighth level, and the surface was slightly golden, like a giant vajra, carrying infinite power and rushing towards Fang Xun's back.

But the next moment, the fist that hit Fang Xun passed through as if it were nothing!

"Oh no, it's an illusion!" The Seven Illusions of Immortality - Taking Being as Nothingness

Lu Jian's face darkened, but before he could think about it, he felt another sense of oppression coming down and raised his head reflexively.

But Fang Xun's figure leaped into the air for the second time, looking down at Lu Jian from above.

At this moment, there seemed to be Tai Chi black and white yin and yang looming in his eyes, and his expression seemed sacred, but also evil.

It was as if gods and demons, creation and destruction, the two opposing contradictions were perfectly integrated into one person at this moment, and Fang Xun's self-created 'Gods and Demons' were naturally revealed.

choke--

But after hearing a sword whistling, the "Green Blood Shining in the Painting" which had been sheathed all along appeared in Fang Xun's left hand at some point.

The sea of ​​swords and waves rose up, and the boundless vitality of heaven and earth was swept together.

Yang and Yin, creation and destruction, the two contradictory and opposing forces merged and blossomed at this moment, and a force emerged that suffocated Lu Jian!
The Endless Treasure of Heaven - Three Swords, Four Blades, and Seven Killings

boom--

The boundless sea surface was suddenly filled with huge waves.

Such a terrifying blow was like the arrival of a god or demon.

Facing this power, Lu Jian felt that he was so insignificant.

The eight forces circulate around, layer upon layer, over and over again, growing stronger all the time.

The longer the battle lasts, the more terrifying the accumulated power becomes, until it reaches the limit that Fang Xun can bear.

Compared with Fang Xun's previous attack, this attack was even faster and more violent.

Lu Jian subconsciously wanted to dodge, but found that he had nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.

Different from Gu Zhen, another protagonist in "Cang Hai".

Although both of them had learned Gu Shentong's "The Emperor's Art of Seeing the Qi", only Gu Zhen mastered it, while Lu Jian did not.

He felt that if he had mastered the "Emperor's Qi-Seeing Technique", even if he could not withstand Fang Xun's extremely powerful attack, he could still dodge it in advance.

But now, he had no choice but to take it head-on!
At this moment of life and death crisis, Lu Jian's heart became calmer.

He made up his mind and a long sword appeared in his hand. The sword looked rusty.

But it is the 'Heavenly Punishment Sword' guarded by Liang Xiao of Xicheng.

This sword was forged by the famous swordsmith Ou Longzi and his son Tiezhe. Ou Longzi sacrificed his life to forge it. When the sword was completed, Tiezhe also died. This sword was forged at the cost of the lives of both of them.

But Lu Jian thrust the long sword in his hand out with all his might, and the rusty sword suddenly burst into endless sharpness at this moment, and a faint purple light shone through the mottled rust!

boom--

The long sword pierced into the sea of ​​swords and waves, and Fang Xun immediately noticed something unusual.

The energy he released seemed to be pouring into Lu Jian's body uncontrollably.

The man was like a boundless ocean, seemingly encompassing everything and accommodating everything. The infinite power that entered his body immediately transformed into the calamity power of the "Black Sky Book" and continuously poured into the Heavenly Punishment Sword.

The eight circulating forces were like stars in the sky, slowly rotating around Lu Jian like a wheel.

In "Cang Hai", any internal energy in the world will be transformed into the calamity power of "Black Sky Book" once it enters Lu Jian's body, and even the powerful Zhou Liu Ba Jin is no exception.

The earth is thick, the sea is deep, the sky is vast; the sea accommodates all rivers. It is great because it is tolerant. It can accommodate everything and encompass everything. This is the way of the sea.

After seeing this scene, Fang Xun not only did not retract his strength, but the internal energy in his body surged even more.

He knew that just like his own Eight Circulation Powers, Lu Jian's Way of the Sea also had its limits.

Lu Jian can use this method to break Wan Guizang's Tian Wu Jin Zang, but he may not be able to stop him!

boom--

The two figures collided, causing layers of wrinkled waves on the sea surface, which spread outward rapidly with the collision point as the center.

The storm swept in, with waves one higher than the other, like a tsunami. Layer after layer of waves flooded the beach and hit the cliffs. The water level rose two or three feet in a short period of time.

I don’t know how long it took before I saw the tide gradually receding.

On the sea, the wind and waves gradually subsided, revealing two figures standing opposite each other in the distance.

Fang Xun's left chest was pierced by the rusty Heavenly Punishment Sword. The hilt had disappeared, leaving only half of the sword.

The blood kept flowing, but his face was calm, as if he was not the one injured.

But Lu Jian on the opposite side had one arm broken, the one holding the sword.

There is a tiny red mark on seven vital acupuncture points of the human body, such as the center of the eyebrows, throat, and temples.

But his violent breathing meant that he was still alive. If any of the seven wounds were deeper, Lu Jian would have died instantly.

Although Lu Jian looked pale, his smile was bright and sunny: "I lost."

After saying these four words, his body gradually became transparent and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fang Xun stood quietly there for a long time before his figure disappeared from the arena, leaving only a sigh that echoed on the endless sea.

"You are stronger than Xue Ren. If you try to avoid fighting, I won't be able to kill you."

In the training ground, Fang Xun's figure appeared out of thin air, and his injuries were completely healed.

'Receive Lu Jian's martial arts memories and insights.'

In an instant, Lu Jian's lifelong memories flooded into his mind like a tide.

Just as Fang Xun said just now, although Lu Jian is not as strong as himself, if he really wants to avoid fighting, Fang Xun can defeat him but cannot kill him.

About a quarter of an hour later, Fang Xun's eyes regained clarity. He looked towards the fourth door of the martial arts hall and saw a new name appear.
