The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Outside Jianye City, the sky was still clear and the sun was shining brightly.

As a gust of hot wind blew by, the ashes on the official road also drifted away with the wind, as if nothing had happened.

In the distance, a murderous army with flags waving was marching towards Lingzhou at full speed.

At the same time, the atmosphere at Hongfengkou Station was extremely depressing.

The five Zhenwu land immortals were in a bad mood, and even the postmen here felt a chill in their hearts.

"It's a pity that old man Dong Yunchuan made trouble everywhere and missed the opportunity to fight. Otherwise, Zhaoning wouldn't have to make the decision to give up Jiangzhou!"

Fang Xun's face was extremely gloomy as he looked at the urgent letter in his hand, and his expression was as if he wanted to eat Dong Yunchuan alive.

The four people beside him, Qiao Zhengyang, Liu Zhengwu, Xiao Qirong and Tan Chongtian, also looked unhappy.

At this time, Liu Zhengwu rarely agreed with Fang Xun, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Humph, I knew that these corrupt scholars could talk a lot of nonsense, but they would ruin things at the critical moment!"

There have been disputes between civil and military officials in every dynasty, and both sides dislike each other.

But Liu Zhengwu was not only angry about this, he was angry because Dong Yunchuan's neglect led to Jiangnan being attacked from all sides.

Now the Prince of Yue's Palace must gather a large army to provide assistance, as there is not much force left to support Hongfengkou.

It was impossible for the army to reach Jiangzhou in a short period of time, so they could only build a solid defense line in Lingzhou while the Chu army was conquering cities in Jiangzhou.

Lingzhou is uninhabited, with only a small number of people going there to open up the wasteland, making it very suitable as a battlefield.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhengyang asked Fang Xun with a serious expression: "My Lord, what should we do now?"

Tan Chongtian and Xiao Qirong also looked at Fang Xun, waiting for him to speak.

Liu Zhengwu's heart immediately rose to his throat and he was extremely nervous.

Jiangzhou was attacked, and even if Fang Xun decided to return home immediately, he had no reason to stay.

But once Fang Xun leaves, Qiao Zhengyang, Xiao Qirong and Tan Chongtian will surely leave as well, and then he will be the only one left to face the Miao army.

But Fang Xun's answer soon made Liu Zhengwu feel relieved.

“Although Jiangzhou is in danger, it will take some time for the King of Chu to completely take it. By then, Zhaoning will have already set up a defense line in Lingzhou.

On the contrary, if I return to Miaojiang, it will be exactly what they want!"

Qiao Zhengyang and the other two nodded after hearing this, but Fang Xun's next sentence made Liu Zhengwu feel nervous again.

"But being dragged here all the time is not a good thing."

Liu Zhengwu quickly said, "Does the Marquis have any good ideas?"

Fang Xun sighed and said, "There is no good way. Wan Tianyang and Xing Shanlie are both members of Black Water Abyss. They must have been in cahoots with each other for a long time.

If I leave, the Miao army will invade again soon."

At this point, he paused again, turned his gaze towards Qiao Zhengyang and the other two and continued, "Three seniors, how about this, the four of us will stay at Hongfengkou for three months, and you can go as you please after three months?"

Qiao Zhengyang said without hesitation: "Just follow your wishes, Lord."

After pondering for a moment, Tan Chongtian and Xiao Qirong agreed with Fang Xun's opinion that it would be fine to just stay here for three months.

Liu Zhengwu was a little worried, but he could only say, "That's the only way."

Fang Xun then comforted him, "General Liu, please be at ease. I am sure that Xing Shanlie will lead his troops to attack us as soon as he returns!"

"Really?"

The others were stunned for a moment, not knowing why the other party was so sure.

Fang Xun sneered and said, "You don't know that Xing Shanlie wants to kill me day and night. As long as I am alive, he will not be able to sleep or eat well.

Otherwise, within a year at most, even if he has the Earthly Axe in his hand, he will no longer be my opponent!"

After hearing this, Qiao Zhengyang and the other three were shocked, and then they suddenly realized something.

Fang Xun was not exaggerating. The speed at which the other party's strength improved could not be calculated according to common sense. If one was not careful, it would not be surprising if the other party grew to the level of Shangguan Wudi.

Put yourself in their shoes. If you were facing this kind of enemy, you would definitely want to eliminate it all the time.

As long as Fang Xun is alive, even if King Wan Tianyang of Chu and King Xing Shanlie of Miao join forces to take over Jiangnan, they will not be able to sleep or eat.

Even Qiao Zhengyang and others felt that in the minds of Xing Shanlie and Wan Tianyang, killing Fang Xun might be a higher priority than taking over Jiangnan. "Okay! I'll trouble you four for the next three months."

"No, General Liu, you are too kind."

After a few more polite words, Fang Xun and his four companions dispersed.

After he quickly ate a medicinal meal, he returned to the quiet training room arranged for him at the post station, sat cross-legged on the ground, and immersed his mind in the martial arts hall.

The water and the sky are one color, the clouds are brilliant, and the undulating riverbed is covered with clear flowing water, which finally falls down the cliff and pours into clusters of turbulent waterfalls.

This was once the battlefield where the leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect and the Xuantian Evil Emperor fought each other - a river separated the sky.

At this time, Fang Xun's figure slowly appeared on one side. After his vision was restored, he saw a man sitting cross-legged on the opposite bank at first glance.

Sensing Fang Xun's arrival, the man suddenly stood up, with his golden hair flying like flames.

After he stood up, his tall and majestic body was more than seven feet long, his face was as cold and hard as iron, and his muscles were knotted and filled with explosive power.

He also carried a dark-colored long stick on his back, with protruding joints on the stick that looked like bone joints.

That person is the leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect, and the long stick behind him is the divine weapon - Soul Eater.

"Very good, you will not let me down!"

Fang Xun smiled and replied: "Of course I won't let you down!"

In the original novel, in the last moments of his life, the leader of the Rakshasa clan had an earth-shattering duel with the Xuantian Evil Emperor across the water.

The closer he gets to the twenty-seventh deadline, the stronger the Rakshasa Sect Leader becomes.

However, during the fight, Emperor Xuantian Xie was uneasy, and his state of mind was broken, so he was unable to exert his full strength.

This made the Luosha Sect Leader furious and yelled that the Xuantian Evil Emperor did not treat this battle in perfect condition, so he had no chance to explore his own peak, which became his biggest regret before his death.

Now that he had seen Fang Xun, a burning desire to fight immediately ignited in his heart, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Fang Xun was unusually calm, and his whole body aura was extremely peaceful.

The man stands tall on the earth, giving people the feeling of being like the sky and water, as if he has merged into one with the surrounding environment.

Fang Xun on the other side of the river was also unremarkable. He was clearly standing there, but it felt like he was everywhere in the world, yet it seemed as if he did not exist at all.

He said calmly: "How much life do you have left?"

The Luosha Sect Master suddenly opened his eyes, his divine light shone brightly, and he replied with a smile: "One hour. If you stop the battle midway, the Martial Arts Hall will restore my lifespan!"

Fang Xun also laughed after hearing this: "Great, this way I don't have to worry about you suddenly dying in battle, and you will have more opportunities to explore your own limits!"

After a few words, the two stopped talking and just stared at each other quietly.

Both of them were extremely looking forward to this battle. The Luosha Sect Leader was looking forward to reaching his true limit, while Fang Xun was enjoying the pleasure of fighting against a strong opponent.

slam-la-

The rushing waterfall rolled down the cliff, and the sound of the water was gurgling. Before they knew it, a cup of tea had passed and the two finally moved.

In less than a thousandth of a second, the two fists collided in the middle of the water.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-

Fang Xun and the Luosha Sect Leader clashed again and again. Both of them were proficient in various martial arts. Although they only used fists and feet, their exquisite moves emerged one after another.

Both of them were just warming up and neither of them used their full strength, so most of the force was borne by their bodies.

But just a trace of it was enough to bring about a strong wind, causing waves on the clear river surface.

When there were only a few breaths left before the one-hour deadline for Luosha Sect Leader, Fang Xun's figure reappeared in the training ground with a happy smile on his face.

On the sixth door of the martial arts hall, the name of the Luosha Sect Leader was still shining brightly. The two sides had just fought for an hour and there was no clear winner.

The leader of the Rakshasa Sect also made Fang Xun see what true kryptonian life is. The closer he is to the end of his life, the stronger the opponent becomes.

The two fought for nearly an hour, but it was just a warm-up and neither of them used their best skills.

But this also made Fang Xun feel that he had made a slight and imperceptible progress, and the newly practiced "Hun Tian Bao Jian" became more and more proficient in battle.

After sorting out the gains from the previous battle, Fang Xun pushed open the sixth door again.

In this way, he and the Luosha Sect Leader began to fight again and again, and he made progress again and again. (End of this chapter)
