Hunting Immortals and Demons

Nothing happened that day.

The next morning.

Lu Yan carried the Scarlet Blood Sword on his back and arrived at a mansion according to the address Wang Sword asked him to post.

Since Wang Dao became Marquis of Wu, he naturally could not continue to live in the previous place, so Li Cangqing gave him a spacious courtyard.

Lu Yan handed over the invitation and entered the mansion smoothly.

In a courtyard, dozens of tables have been set up and filled with guests.

Wang Dao used to be a swordsman, and not many people interacted with him. But as soon as the news of becoming Wuhou came out, a lot of relatives appeared.

Wang Dao was busy greeting the guests. Lu Yan did not rush forward to say hello and chose a table on the edge to sit down.

As noon approached, there were more and more guests.

Moreover, Li Cangqing came to congratulate him in person.

There are also seven or eight masters with strong auras and no anger, sitting at the same table as Li Cangqing.

There is no doubt that those who can sit with Li Cangqing are people at the level of Wuhou.

Moreover, they are all from Li Cangqing's faction.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Yan stood up and stepped forward.

"Brother Wang, congratulations. From now on, you will be granted the title of Marquis of Martial Arts, and your career will be as high as yours."

Lu Yan walked over and cupped his fists.

"Master Lu Lu."

Seeing Lu Yan, Wang Dao was stunned and didn't know what to call him. He was afraid that Lu Yan didn't want to expose the union of swordsmen and martial arts.

"Brother Wang, do you still recognize this knife?"

Lu Yan took off the red blood knife and pulled out a section, revealing the red blade.

"Red Blood Knife."

As soon as Wang Dao saw Lu Yan taking out the red blood knife, he knew that Lu Yan was not afraid of being exposed, so he smiled and said, "Brother Lu is joking, I naturally recognize this knife."

"Today, Brother Wang was granted the title of Marquis of Martial Arts, so Lu sent this sword back to Brother Wang as a congratulatory gift."

After saying that, Lu Yan handed over the red blood knife.

Wang Dao's face straightened up, and he quickly speculated, "Absolutely not. I once said that whoever can beat me in sword skills will give this sword to me. Now that I have given it away, there is no reason to take it back. Besides, if Brother Wu Lu, my sword skills are still stuck in perfection, so how can I combine martial arts with others, let alone Wu Hou?"

"This is Brother Wang's talent. Lu is just doing it with a little effort. Brother Wang, please accept it."

Lu Yan said.

"No, I can never accept this knife. Does Brother Lu want me to be the one who breaks his promise? If Brother Lu can come, Wang will be very happy. Come and have a drink."

Wang Dao was determined not to, and looked like he would fall out if he gave it to him again.

Lu Yan looked helpless and could only put away the red blood knife again.

He knew that Wang Sword would not be withdrawn.

"Brother Lu, please sit down and let's drink together."

Wang Dao asked Lu Yan to take his seat.

The main seat is the table where Li Cangqing and other Wu Hous are sitting.

Everyone present looked at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan calmly took a seat in an empty seat at the main table, two people away from Li Cangqing.

"Everyone, let me introduce you to Brother Lu. He is the master of Sanjue Martial Arts Hall. Brother Lu Shanchuan. You have already met Mr. Li Cangqing. This is"

Wang Dao introduced them enthusiastically, and Lu Yan stood up and greeted them one by one with fists in his hands.

"Senior Wang, please forgive me for being rude, but there is one thing you should never say if you don't say it."

"Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between the strong and the weak, and there has been an order of superiority and inferiority. It seems that this Three Ultimate Warrior has only broken the limit five times. According to the rules, he is not qualified to sit at the same table with all the Lords of Wu."

At this time, a young man stood up at another table and said.

"Yes, doing this will break the rules, lead to the loss of Lord Wuhou's majesty, and attract criticism."

"I feel the same way."

After one person started, others also spoke one after another, and there was a lot of discussion.

Li Cangqing, as well as the other Wuhou in charge, did not stop him.

Judging from his expression, he obviously acquiesced in this statement.

The Chu Dynasty did have such rules.

What's more, today is a troubled world, where martial arts is valued over literature, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected, the concept is beyond the past.

Marquis Wu was powerful and superior. Unless he was a person of particularly noble birth, it would be difficult for him to be on an equal footing with Marquis Wu.

For example, Li Cangqing was qualified to sit at the same table as Wu Hou when he broke the restrictions on warriors. After all, his status was there.

But Lu Yan is just the master of a martial arts gym, and his status is far different.

"this."

Wang Dao was a little at a loss.

It's not that he doesn't know such rules, it's just that he is a swordsman who is obsessed with practicing swordsmanship, and he doesn't have much awareness of various rules. Moreover, when he saw Lu Yan just now, he was excited for a while, so he invited Lu Yan to take the lead.

Now we are riding a tiger with a hard time getting off.

It doesn't matter if Lu Yan sits down, it doesn't matter if Lu Yan doesn't sit down.

Lu Yan smiled and didn't take it seriously, but continued to pick up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he waved his hand and the wine glass flew to a stone pier ten feet away.

bump!

The wine glass was like a bomb that exploded into pieces the moment it hit the stone pier. But the moment the wine glass exploded, the stone pier also exploded and fell into pieces.

Bone strength!

Many people were shocked.

Throwing a wine glass and breaking a stone mound ten feet away can only be done with the strength of the bones, not the blood alone.

Wang Dao was overjoyed and said: "Brother Lu, have you defeated Wuhou?"

"Some time ago, Sanjue Martial Arts School faced the risk of closing down. Lu felt that his strength was too weak and he couldn't even save the martial arts gym, so he tried everything to break through. Unexpectedly, he succeeded by luck."

Lu Yan sighed.

"Hahaha, okay, today is really a double blessing. It's a joy to congratulate, a joy to congratulate. Come on, give me a toast to Master Lu."

Li Cangqing laughed and stood up to raise a toast.

"Lu should respect Young Master Li. Without Young Master Li's help last time, Sanjue Martial Arts School might have been closed down."

Lu Yan raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Cangqing smiled heartily and drank it too.

"Brother Lu was able to succeed in one fell swoop with his own ability without the help of martial arts. It's really admirable. I respect you."

"Yes, I heard that Brother Lu has already practiced a second-rate swordsmanship to the point where human and martial arts are integrated into one, and he has refined the acquired martial body. In the future, the natural martial body can reach Wuhou without the help of external force. Looking at the six counties in Lingdong, They are all rare, I admire them.”

Wu Hou, who was at the same table, also stood up and toasted.

If Lu Yan didn't make a breakthrough, it would be absolutely impossible. Being able to sit at the same table with them would be considered an overstep, so how could he propose a toast?

But now Lu Yan has defeated Wuhou, and he is still a Wuhou who has acquired martial arts. His combat power is definitely the best in his class, and he is completely on the same level as them.

Lu Yan did not reject anyone who came and responded to them one by one.

It wasn't because he was ridiculed by others that he suddenly exposed Wu Hou's cultivation.

This was something he had thought about before.

Just take this opportunity to show it off.

Now, he has reached the second level of Wuhou, and his true combat power is far beyond that. It is time to properly show part of his strength.

Sometimes just hiding it doesn't work, and many things are difficult to handle.

By appropriately displaying powerful force, many things can be solved easily and a lot of unnecessary trouble can be saved.

Just like now--

"Master Wuhou, I was short-sighted just now. I didn't know that you have defeated Wuhou. I have offended you a lot just now. Please forgive me, Lord Wuhou. You will not remember the faults of villains."

A young man bowed repeatedly with a fearful look on his face, and finally even knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row.

This young man was the one who initially questioned Lu Yan's unqualification to sit in the chair.

If a Wuhou is questioned and insulted in public, Wuhou has the right to take action. Even if he is deposed, no one will say anything.

"Master Wuhou, I was blind just now. Please forgive me."

"grown ups."

Several people who had spoken before stood up in fear and apologized again and again, fearing that Marquis Wu would take notice of him.

They wanted to slap themselves for being loudmouthed, and regretted why they talked so much just now.

"Those who don't know are not guilty. Just step back."

Lu Yan waved his hand.

Since he is a Marquis of Wu, he naturally has to show his magnanimity.

Those few people breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been granted amnesty, thanked them profusely, and retreated tremblingly.

After three drinks, everyone gradually dispersed.

"Brother Wang, how about we come and have a discussion?"

Lu Yan invited.

"Come and get what you want."

Wang Dao, a swordsman, wished he had someone to practice swordsmanship with him every day. Lu Yan took the initiative to invite him, so how could he refuse.

Soon, in the courtyard, two sword lights kept colliding, like two flashing thunder fish.

After exchanging hundreds of moves, the two men retreated with their swords in a flash.

Wang Dao looked like he was still unfinished, and said: "Brother Lu is really the only prodigy of swordsmanship that Wang has seen in his life. We haven't seen each other for a while, and his swordsmanship has become more and more advanced. Unfortunately, Brother Lu is practicing second-rate martial arts. If he can get a first-class sword, The law will surely develop rapidly and become famous all over the world."

"Brother Wang is overly praised."

Lu Yan smiled.

"Brother Lu, there is no need to be modest. In the Li family, there is a first-class sword technique called the Nine-Zhan Divine Thunder Sword. I practice this martial art. If there is an opportunity, I will definitely propose to Young Master Cang Qing to use this sword. The Dharma is taught to you.”

"Such sword skills can only shine in the hands of Brother Lu."

Wang Dao said.

"Then I'd like to thank Brother Wang in advance. By the way, Brother Wang, after Lu broke through Wuhou, he gained a new understanding of the Yingyue Sword. Why don't you go back to the martial arts hall with me and learn from each other every day?"

Lu Yan said.

"That's good, let's go."

Wang Dao is very straightforward, holding the saber and leaving.

"After all, the two of them have limited ideas. Does Brother Wang know other sword masters in the Wuhou Realm and invite them together?"

Lu Yan suggested.

"A master of swordsmanship in the Wuhou Realm?"

Wang Dao clapped his hands and said, "Brother Lu, didn't you tell me earlier that Senior Yang Zhihuan is a master of swordsmanship and majors in first-class martial arts. He is also the Nine-Zhan God Thunder Sword. He just left not long ago and we caught up with him to invite him." .”

A figure appeared in Lu Yan's mind.

They were sitting at the same table before. He was an old man with a Chinese character face, a resolute appearance, a tall figure, and extraordinary power, like a general fighting on the battlefield.

Wang Dao had introduced before that Yang Zhihuan, the fourth level of Wuhou, had the highest cultivation level among their table.

The two left immediately and chased in the direction of Yang Zhihuan's mansion.

Sure enough, he caught up with Yang Zhihuan halfway.

"Senior Yang"

Wang Dao called out.

Yang Zhihuan was a little surprised when he saw Lu Yan and Wang Dao, and said, "You two came to see me specifically?"

"Senior Yang, the two of us would like to discuss sword skills with you. What do you think?"

Wang Dao cupped his fists.

Yang Zhihuan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Well then, let's go to my house."

Yang Zhihuan is also a pure swordsman. When he was young, he often found people to practice swordsmanship. However, his practice gradually became less and less as his practice deepened, especially after he entered the Marquis of Wu.

It's not that I don't want to find someone to practice swordsmanship with, it's just that I can't find an opponent.

There are too few swordsmen in the Wuhou realm.

Especially in Li Wenxin's lineage, apart from him, there is only one swordsman in the first level of Wuhou. The two of them have been fighting each other for a long time, but there is nothing new. To put it bluntly, they are tired of it.

Both Wang Dao and Lu Yan are good at using knives.

Just now at the banquet, he wanted to invite Wang Dao and Lu Yan to compete in swordsmanship, but due to his status as a senior, he couldn't take the initiative to do so.

Now that Wang Dao invited me, we naturally hit it off.

"Senior, why not go to junior's martial arts school? Junior has recently hired several martial arts chefs. Their cooking skills are very good. There will be meat and wine. How about we compete while eating?"

Lu Yan opened his mouth to invite.

"That's okay, I'll just stop talking and let's go."

Yang Zhihuan was very straightforward and didn't even return home. He planned to wait until he got to Sanjue Martial Arts Hall and have someone go back to inform him.

This is a swordsman. As long as someone practices swordsmanship, everything else can take a back seat.

This reminded Lu Yan of the fisherman in his previous life.

How similar is a fisherman in all weathers to a swordsman?

"Also, don't call me senior anymore. I'm crazy about how old I am. Just call me brother."

Yang Zhihuan said again.

Lu Yan and Wang Dao both called Brother Yang.

In the practice room of Sanjue Martial Arts Hall, two figures intertwined, their swords were shining like steel, and they were as fast as thunder and lightning. They were constantly colliding, and sparks were shooting out.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yan and Wang Dao had fought for more than a hundred rounds.

Yang Zhihuan watched from the side, nodding from time to time, showing wonder.

"Brother Lu, be careful, I'm about to use the Nine-Slash God Thunder Sword."

Wang Dao let out a soft drink, and his sword technique suddenly changed, from the Yingyue Sword to the Nine-Slash God Thunder Knife. The sword technique instantly became extremely domineering, opening and closing, with the power of thunder, and every time he slashed, The sound of thunder exploding could be vaguely heard.

Lu Yan's sword skills also changed, using the Sky-Breaking Sword to deal with it.

The two exchanged another hundred moves, then retreated with their swords in hand.

"Brother Lu's sword skills are unfathomable, I admire him."

Wang Dao cupped his fist.

"Haha, it's my turn, which one of you will come?"

Yang Zhihuan couldn't wait to see the end, and he was already so itchy that he couldn't bear it.

"Brother Yang, let me help you practice a few tricks."

Lu Yan cupped his fists and said.

"Come, I will suppress your cultivation to the first level of Wuhou."

After Yang Zhihuan finished speaking, he swung his sword and slashed at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan swung his sword to attack.

Yang Zhihuan's Nine-Slash Divine Thunder Sword is much stronger than Wang Dao's.

After all, Yang Zhihuan had cultivated the Nine-Slash God Thunder Sword to the pinnacle many years ago. Now, although he has not reached the level of perfection, he is still only one step away.

His sword skills are extremely domineering, fierce and unforgettable, and he moves forward inexorably.

Lu Yan responded with concentration.

Lu Yan's Jiutian Sword has become one of human and martial arts, and his understanding of sword techniques is naturally far superior to that of Yang Zhihuan.

But he couldn't really use it, so he just used the sky-piercing knife that combined human and martial arts.

But after all, he was in this realm, and he could often see the weaknesses in the opponent's sword skills at a glance, and he could come up with strange moves at his fingertips. Therefore, for a while, he and Yang Zhihuan were inseparable from each other.

After several hundred moves, the two stopped.

"It's great, it's great. I haven't had such a great time practicing sword skills with others for a long time. Brother Lu is really a swordsman wizard, and I can't be better."

Yang Zhihuan was full of praise for Lu Yan's sword skills.

"Brother Yang is right. Brother Lu's attainments in swordsmanship are the only ones I have seen in my life. Unfortunately, there is no first-class martial arts to match him. If he can practice the Nine-Slash God Thunder Sword, the combination of human and martial arts will be just around the corner, and he will be famous all over the world."

Wang Dao sighed.

Yang Zhihuan looked thoughtful and said, "Brother Wang, why don't we persuade Young Master Cang Qing to teach Brother Lu the Nine-Severing God Thunder Sword?"

"That's what I have in mind, and with Brother Yang together, it will be done."

Wang Dao said with great joy.

Naturally, Lu Yan would not deliberately be polite.

He also covets top-notch sword skills.
