Chapter 157 True Name
Chapter 157 True Name
The purpose of hooking the finger is not to swear an oath, but to challenge.
This is a fact that everyone can see.
But no one expected Xie Yinglian to be so arrogant.
Looking at this scene, everyone here no longer cared about the battle on the stone peak which had not yet ended, and looked at Gu Zhuo with curiosity and expectation.
The monks of Cihang Temple remained calm and appeared to be doing nothing, but they couldn't help feeling happy.
Such a thought that goes against one's Zen mind is of course due to the arrogance and rudeness displayed by Gu Zhuo yesterday.
Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Zhuo did not react.
It was as if the distance between them was too far, and there was so much fog and mystery involved that he couldn't see Xie Yinglian's movements clearly.
This is certainly not true.
There was only one reason why Gu Zhuo ignored it.
——The battle is not over yet.
Lin Wanyi's voice rang out.
"I suddenly want to ask you something."
"please."
Xie Yinglian said gently, casually put down his right hand and looked at Lin Wanyi.
The three-foot-long sword was entangled by vines, unable to move forward. The five tiny flying swords fell to the ground like scraps of copper and iron.
For a sword cultivator, this is no different from having already lost.
Lin Wanyi looked at her and said, "How much do you know about me?"
Xie Yinglian smiled slightly and said, "Not all of them, but almost."
"Then I'm curious..."
Lin Wanyi asked curiously, "Do you know why I'm called this?"
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. They just felt that this was really incomprehensible and wondered what this had to do with fighting?
Xie Yinglian didn’t care about these things at all because he was confident.
She thought for a moment and said with regret: "Although I have read all the files related to you, I really don't know the meaning of this name."
Lin Wanyi suppressed those unnecessary emotions and said softly: "Actually, I had another name when I was a child."
Xie Yinglian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then?"
"There's no need to mention that name because it's meaningless. What I want to talk about is my current name."
As he spoke, Lin Wanyi slowly loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword.
Her eyes fell on Xie Yinglian, and her voice was full of nostalgia and complacency: "Wan Yi means... when it's time to roll up your sleeves and beat someone up, be decisive."
When she said the word "yes", she had already dropped the sword, and when it came to "beat", a seemingly delicate fist appeared in everyone's eyes.
All this happened so fast that when the word "果" fell, the world in front of Xie Yinglian had already begun to be occupied by this fist.
This punch was meant to be a sneak attack.
There was nothing sinister about this punch.
Anyone who looks back on the incident later will have to admit that this punch was fair and just, and not a despicable trick at all.
The reason why it looked like a sneak attack was because Lin Wanyi and Xie Yinglian were too close to each other, only a few feet apart.
In this situation, at the moment when Xie Yinglian nodded to respond, as long as Lin Wanyi launched an attack, it would inevitably seem like a sneak attack.
Just because Xie Yinglian didn't expect the true meaning of the word "Wan Yi" didn't mean she took it lightly. After all, she was once the top winner of the Summer Festival, and she made the best response in that instant.
Turn sideways and receive the punch with your left shoulder.
Ignoring the severe pain, he tilted his right palm upwards and tried to grasp Lin Wanyi's right elbow.
It all happened in an instant.
There was no blood flowing from the corners of Xie Yinglian's lips, but judging from her suddenly pale face, she was clearly injured.
Lin Wanyi's punch was old, but Xie Yinglian's palm was too hasty, and as their realms were brought to the same level, it was not unstoppable.
There was a muffled sound.
That was the sound of Lin Wanyi's right elbow hitting Xie Yinglian's palm, and the two made contact.
At this moment, the two of them can already see themselves in each other's eyes, and can also see each other's emotions clearly.
Lin Wanyi's eyes were indifferent.
There was a rare sense of pain in Xie Yinglian's eyes, and a sense of pleasure growing out of the pain.
This is undoubtedly a very pleasant feeling, a very painful and pleasurable pleasure.
The next moment, she let Lin Wanyi see why she felt so happy.
Facing the delicate fist that attacked again, Xie Yinglian did not retreat at all. He stepped forward and punched back.
boom!
Not just one sound, but many sounds.
That was the sound of one person's fist landing on another person's fist and colliding directly.
These two girls were most likely the most noble girls in the world. They gave up their flying swords, abandoned Taoism, and fought in the most direct and brutal way to determine the outcome.
No one expected things to turn out like this. Many young people were stunned and shocked to hear the increasingly fierce sounds of fists colliding.
Monk Kuzhou came to his senses and activated the mountain gate formation without hesitation, causing the clouds hovering below the stone peak to rise suddenly, obscuring the figures of the two people.
So people could only see the two slender figures shrouded in clouds and mist, exchanging punches and injuries, and the muffled sound continued like thunder.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe less than half a quarter of an hour, the sound in the clouds disappeared.
A figure stood still.
The other figure trembled slightly for a moment, and finally almost couldn't stand and fell to the ground.
This unexpected battle ended.
The fog still hasn't dissipated.
The strong men from Chaotian Jianque and Yinping Xie clan looked towards the Kuzhou monk.
The bitter boat monk did not look away and said, "The winner should thank you for your kindness."
After hearing these words, many people couldn't help but feel regretful, thinking that if both parties had truly devoted equal amounts of time to cultivation, the results would most likely be different.
……
……
In the mist, Xie Yinglian raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, without a trace of sadness in his eyes.
She looked at Lin Wanyi who was standing several feet away, and slowly smiled, saying softly: "You are much more interesting than I thought. I just wanted to borrow you to let Gu Zhuo go all out, but I didn't expect you to give me such a pleasant surprise."
Lin Wanyi is very tired.
This battle almost exhausted all her energy, and even speaking became difficult, but she still couldn't help but say something.
"Sure enough, he is right. There is really something wrong with your brain." She looked at Xie Yinglian's increasingly bright eyes, feeling the aura that became even stronger after the injury, and confirmed once again that this was a madman.
If he wasn't a madman, why would he voluntarily give up the means he is best at and engage in such a fierce battle?
What’s even more terrifying is that Xie Yinglian’s momentum never weakened for a moment in this battle.
On the contrary, the more injured she was, the stronger she became.
People like this are truly amazing.
Xie Yinglian looked at Lin Wanyi and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, wait a little longer, I will ask him to accompany you soon."
As the words fell, someone came to the venue.
That was not Lin Wanyi's fellow disciple, but Yu Sheng.
The reason is gender.
Yu Sheng glanced at Xie Yinglian, with no disgust or liking in his eyes, and said softly, "It's quite pretty in a different way."
After saying this, she walked to Lin Wanyi's side, transferred a breath into the girl's body to stop her injuries, and then took out a pill.
Lin Wanyi opened her mouth and swallowed the pill obediently. Even though the pill was extremely bitter, she just frowned and didn't complain at all.
Yu Sheng waved his sleeves lightly, summoned the six swords with his true energy, took Lin Wanyi's hand and walked out.
Xie Yinglian looked at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng didn't look back, and suddenly said, "Let me remind you."
Xie Yinglian asked, "Please speak."
Yu Sheng said: "He is very angry."
Xie Yinglian smiled and said, "That's exactly what I want."
……
……
The clouds and mist gradually dissipated, and the scene on the stone peak became clear again.
Xie Yinglian, wearing a purple skirt, stood with her hands behind her back, looking as majestic and unyielding as a mountain.
In the sunlight, her face looked even paler, like snow, but not haggard.
The blood stain at the corner of her lips not only did not affect her appearance, but made her even more beautiful.
It was quiet.
Hundreds of eyes fell on the isolated cliff.
Gu Zhuo took a step forward, stepped out of the edge of the cliff, and walked towards the stone peak.
He walked slowly, letting the breeze from the cliff blow his clothes and the sunshine bring warmth.
People's eyes followed his footsteps until he stood on a stone peak about thirty feet away from Xie Yinglian, and then stopped.
The bitter boat monk had already let the clouds and mist sink, and at the same time he also removed the restrictions on Xie Yinglian, allowing her to return to her own realm.
Gu Zhuo raised his left hand.
The snow then appeared.
Everyone looked at the flying sword and couldn't help but frown, wondering what on earth are you thinking about?
The Liuyun Sword Technique is a Taoist method specifically designed to restrain sword cultivators. Even Chaotian Jianque, one of the three major sword sects, finds it extremely troublesome. Besides, the eldest princess is not a sword cultivator, so why do you insist on sticking to this flying sword?
Are you planning to distract Xie Yinglian's mind in this way, forcing her to be on guard against your flying sword at all times, thus creating opportunities for yourself?
This is indeed a kind of fighting wisdom.
Everyone thought this was the truth.
Therefore, when that sword light appeared... it also reflected the disbelief and incomprehension in everyone's eyes.
……
……
How could Xie Yinglian not react when the swords were drawn more than thirty times apart?
She still stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes fixed on the sword light, with a smile still on her lips.
Dozens of chain-like white turbulences appeared out of thin air, and they wrapped around the sword light first, ready to absorb the true energy contained in the flying sword.
Even though everyone had overestimated Xie Yinglian's true strength and believed that she would show even more terrifying combat power after the realm suppression was released, many people now found that they had still underestimated her.
Without flicking his sleeves, but just thinking about it, the Tao was naturally created without any trace of embellishment.
What a powerful attainment in Taoism!
The teachers and leaders from various sects present knew this very well, so there was a hint of sadness in their eyes when they looked at Gu Zhuo, especially now that he insisted on starting the fight with swords.
Buzz!
That was the sound of a sword.
The sword light transformed by Zhexue was stopped by flowing clouds and stayed in them, unable to move forward an inch.
This is the scene that everyone expected.
But what happened next was unexpected.
The sword light actually retreated.
Not imprisoned by the flowing clouds.
Xie Yinglian's smile didn't have time to change.
A sword light reappeared in her eyes.
Coming through the air.
The two rooms are separated by only a moment.
The flowing clouds had not yet dispersed, but they formed a lock again, moving with her soul and wrapping around the sword light.
Then, the previous scene repeated itself, and the sword light broke free from the clouds, retreated, and then moved forward again.
Gu Zhuo watched the scene quietly.
There was no change in his eyes, as calm as water.
Xie Yinglian suppressed her smile, looked at him and said, "You can't break the Liuyun Sword like this, let's try another method."
Gu Zhuo said calmly: "It seems so."
At this moment, he put down his left hand.
The next moment, the sky suddenly became bright.
The people standing outside the stone peak forest suddenly felt uneasy, as if a cold needle was piercing their backs, and they were suddenly frightened.
It turns out that the so-called sky light is actually sword light.
Hundreds or even thousands of sword lights, it's hard to tell which is which!
A voice resounded throughout the mountain.
"Then add a few more swords."
