Tianxian Road

Chapter 18

Xingyang, a shipping hub city that has been extremely prosperous for thousands of years, looks no different from usual at first glance.However, the areas controlled by the major families and forces, as well as well-informed teahouses and restaurants with more or less inside information, such as brothels and Chu halls, have added a bit of depression.

Ye Tao's so-called "clearing the field" is naturally not to blatantly drive people away, but to release the news that the two are going to duel, so as to save many people from going out to Luoxing Lake at night when they are interested, which is naturally a lot of inconvenience for the duel.

Hearing this news, many wealthy businessmen hastily moved out of the courtyard in Luoxing Lake in order to avoid misfortune; what kind of flower girls, who heard martial arts duels, would run as far as they could; those who dared to stay were heard There are rumors that they think they are very capable and have a strong background, or they are sons of aristocratic families and warriors who already have proud qualifications.

It is night, the moon and stars are sparse, and the breeze is blowing.

Ye Tao sat on the painting boat, unhurriedly, savoring the centuries-old wine one by one.

The exquisite and gorgeous painting boat with a bit of gaudy atmosphere is incompatible with his own taste, and it is obviously rented by him temporarily.Whether it's the decoration of the painting boat itself or the gaudy decorations, he doesn't like it, but Ye Tao, who pays great attention to the details of life on weekdays, suddenly doesn't notice it.I saw him drinking wine while looking at the empty Luoxing Lake, as if he was thinking about what he should say after meeting the family's most powerful enemy, but it seemed that his mind went blank, he didn't think about anything, what? I don't want to do it.

Beside him are more than ten painting boats, or standing or sitting more than ten high-ranking officials of the Ye family in Tan County.They looked a little anxious, discussing something in a low voice, and glanced at Ye Tao from time to time, obviously wondering where Ye Yao was and why she didn't show up at this time.

Farther away from them, there are visitors from all major forces. No matter the high-level and elites of the sect or family, and even the rising stars gathered together, discussing the powerful man who is famous all over the world, arguing about who can compete with him. Enemy, about this duel, what is the intention of the Ye family in Tanjung, and so on and so on.

Suddenly, all sounds stopped, as if there was some mysterious force in the world that stopped the wind, stopped the water, and swallowed all the sounds.

A flat boat, usually leisurely.

A few green bamboos are tied together, and a sail is simply erected. There is no more crude water transportation than this.But the white clothes on the bamboo raft made everyone feel as if they were strangled, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Pick any one of these people up at random, they are all well-known figures in the martial arts and even in the imperial court, who would shake the sky three times if they stomped their feet.They either have a prominent background, or have done extraordinary deeds, or have learned peerless martial arts. They are sought after and respected by others. Most martial arts people dare not even think about it. They feel very excited when they see it. big shot.But at this moment, they couldn't control the trembling of their bodies, and they couldn't control their eyes from moving to the man in white.

Thinking of the figure that looked like a demon god in memory, these people were frightened by fear and powerlessness, and tried to look back at him. They didn't want to see this existence that brought them endless panic, but they couldn't control it. His own behavior, eyes follow him unconsciously.

The light boat was leisurely, drifting with the waves, getting closer and closer to them from the center of the lake.

Even though it is an ordinary fine white linen garment, it is like the black ice formed from the beginning of chaos, freezing the souls of everyone present; although they can clearly see each other's appearance from a distance, no one can really see clearly His appearance, because at this distance, no one dared to raise his head to look at him.

Those who have seen the man in white think of his unstoppable sword edge, those who have not seen the man in white think of the most feared death.

He didn't say a word, a word, and didn't make any movements. Even the corners of his eyes and brows were as calm as ever. He couldn't even be called indifferent, but he brought incomparable coldness and depression to the entire Luoxing Lake.

There is nothing colder than death.

"Although the moonlight on the ninth day of the ninth day does not reach the fifteenth day, it still has a special charm." When the wind stopped and the water stopped, and everything was quiet, I suddenly heard someone say, "Although uninvited guests are unpleasant, the host , but it’s not good to be too rude.”

This voice is so soft and sweet, yet it contains an indescribably misty meaning, as if faintly coming from a distant place, faintly visible, mysterious and elusive, but it shows unparalleled pride and confidence.

Accompanied by these words, the cold air condensed on everyone seemed to gradually melt like the first snow meeting the warm sun.

The lingering sound lingered, still lingering in everyone's ears, but there was a person standing in Lingbo, gently tucking a strand of naughty hair behind his ear.

She is wearing a long skirt that drags the floor, with fluttering sleeves, like riding the wind; she doesn't wear any jewelry, and her black hair reaches her waist, like a flowing cloud; A little bit of water.

Both are dressed in white, and the same make people not dare to breathe. The former brings death-like coldness, while the latter is like the bright moon in the sky, lonely and misty, giving night travelers a glimmer of light and comfort, but also It makes people feel melancholy, sighing that the moon is too high and unattainable, and fearing that their sighs will be too noisy and break through, disturbing the purity of the world, and let her fly away with the wind.

The eyes of the man in white gradually lit up.

He knows how many enemies he has made, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an enemy of the world. Naturally, he will fall into the trap when he is ready to make an appointment, or others plan to follow the idea of ​​the oriole, but because of his own pride, his subordinates try to dissuade him, and he is determined to go to the appointment.

From the moment he entered Luoxing Lake, this small area has been completely enveloped by his spiritual consciousness, not to mention the crowds watching, even the fish swimming in the water and the birds flying by by chance. , and even the process of a leaf slowly falling to the ground are all under his control.But just before the other party spoke, he didn't feel that there was such a person in Luoxing Lake at all. Even now, the other party had appeared in front of him. If he didn't use his eyes to see her, he still couldn't detect her just by feeling. The presence.

In the whole world, there is actually such a person who doesn't rely on conspiracy, tricks, or traps, but on his own, is enough to make him unable to see through the depths.

His eyes were originally as bright as cold stars, but after his fighting spirit rose, they surpassed all lights in the world.He looked at Ye Xinyao with extremely passionate eyes, but it was not a man looking at a woman, let alone an enemy, but he was looking at a piece of lifeless wood, a piece of cold and stiff stone.

If the wood blocks the way, it will be chopped into pieces; if the stone blocks the door, it will be blown away; the person standing in front of him is not a woman, let alone an enemy, but a pass that temporarily hinders his way of swordsmanship. If you win, you will survive. To lose is to die.

At this moment, Ye Xinyao sighed softly.

This sigh blocked the opponent's rising fighting spirit, and also blocked the first sword that should have been as smooth as water.

Counting the one just now, this is the second time she has destroyed the good situation created by the other party. Anyone who loses in the two rounds of energy competition will be devastated, and even leave a shadow in his heart, no matter how difficult it is to raise his head .The man in white stabbed out with a sword at a speed that was too fast to catch, as if he hadn't been affected at all!
Those who have fought against him before all remember the incomparable bright sword light, but at this moment, his sword edge has put away all the cold light.

From drawing the sword to drawing the sword from bottom to top, it took only half a breath, and it was almost too late to think, let alone react.Even the person who dodges the fastest has a [-]% chance of dying under this sword. Even if he is lucky enough to perform supernaturally and save his life, he will face the end of losing an eye.But Ye Xinyao flicked her long sleeves, tapped her toes, and turned her head slightly. The three movements were done together, as graceful as flowing clouds and flowing water. Just in a thought, the man in white felt that his sword was half an inch off.

For him, this is an absolutely impossible mistake. Only Ye Xinyao's aura and internal strength, as well as her precise grasp of the timing, can make it not too late, just when his sword is about to stab her, to produce this effect.If it was too late, she would die in Huangquan, if it was too early, he would change his tactics and catch her by surprise.

Because of this, his eyes became brighter, his fighting spirit became stronger, and his sword edge became colder.Almost at the same moment, a little bit of cold light covered Ye Xinyao's whole body.

"This, this..." The speed of the two's moves and the depth of their cultivation are far beyond the capabilities of everyone.It's not that no one thought about imitating their moves in their minds, and soon fell down with hatred because they kept up with their progress, ranging from lying on the bed for three to five months, or going crazy directly.Others didn't dare to try again when they saw this, they could only watch the two white shadows fighting in the middle of the lake and the fragments of the bamboo raft floating in the water.

Because he couldn't figure out who would win and who would lose, and was really too worried about the impact of this battle, someone finally couldn't bear it, and ran to Ye Tao's side, wanting to ask Ye Yao if she would win in the end—the other party took Even though she knew that the superiority of a weapon was nothing in a contest of masters, but in the end... she was very worried.

Ye Tao shook his head lightly, but didn't say anything. The person who asked the question wondered whether he didn't know the shaking of his head, or whether it was okay. Just about to ask again, he saw Ye Tao throwing the flagon, with a solemn expression, and hurriedly turned around Looking towards the center of the lake.

The two fought against each other for more than a thousand moves.

An extremely strong sense of crisis suddenly rose from the mind, forcing everyone present to retreat again and again, looking around in panic, not knowing what the danger was.The white-clothed man stroked his sword leisurely, and said with a loud smile, "Taoism is authentic?"

Ye Xinyao nodded lightly, her sleeves were like flowing clouds, and there was a rage: "Self-contained?"

Knowing that the other party's move was to block his sight, there must be a fatal move next, the man in white retreats instead of advancing, his sword is like the rising sun in the sky, his aura pierces the long rainbow, pierces the vast waves, and points directly at Ye Xinyao, who brings him an unprecedented sense of crisis.

At this moment, in the world, there is only the light of this sword.
