Chapter 198 The world's rivers favor me, show me your skills
Yanjia Village is located in a remote area. After traveling for about a week, we arrived at a dangerous river. The water in this river was rushing, and it was turbid yellow water mixed with mud and sand. The sound was so loud that even the fish in the water had a hard time crossing this river, not to mention the boats.
Everyone was in trouble. How could they cross the river?
Yan Shiliu himself could handle it. He was an excellent martial artist. He only needed to step back a few steps, find a stone, tie it to the end of the rope, throw it to the other side, and wrap it around a tree trunk. With the help of the slight supporting force of the rope, he could cross the river. It was not easy, but he was confident.
But what about the others?
It was the time to show off one's abilities, so naturally one would not hide one's weaknesses. Li Changxiao watched with great interest. The surging of the river was like a dead end for ordinary people. If one wanted to cross it, one had to at least show some extraordinary strength, so that he could see what was going on.
The swordsman placed his hands on the two swords at his waist and then gently patted the swords. As the scabbards were patted, a little white light was emitted.
He was using his luck and lightness skills to step on the white halos and cross the river little by little. It was a bit risky, but the rushing river and the occasional waves almost disrupted the rhythm of the swordsman. Fortunately, he managed to cross the river without any danger.
Li Changxiao noticed some clues.
This swordsmanship can probably be traced back to the "Hidden Weapon School".
The so-called "Hidden Weapon School" was a concept proposed by a genius during the second Ten Thousand Immortals Summit.
It was just a vague concept at first: the world is so big, there are countless strange stones and minerals. Some of them gradually become ineffective as their spiritual energy is exhausted, but some inconspicuous or even useless minerals still retain their effectiveness. Although they cannot be called magical, if you look deeper, they can be used.
Li Changxiao nodded secretly. This school of swordsmen probably hid the "supernormal" in their weapons. By hitting minerals with supernormal powers, people could temporarily control supernormal powers.
While he was thinking, he saw another person coming out. It was the magic refiner who had a grudge against the Gu girl.
This is a new school of thought that has emerged in the past decade or so and is still very immature. The man threw a crystal bottle to the ground, and the next second, the bottle cracked, sweeping out a huge airflow.
He rode the air current, used his lightness skills, and instantly reached the middle of the river. He reached the other side without any danger.
Then it was time for the Gu Girl. She took advantage of the slowdown in the river water and skimmed across the water like a dragonfly, stepping on the water Gu to successfully reach the other side.
The skinny old Taoist behaved the most calmly, but also the most relaxed. He first observed near the river bank, looking at the mountain in front, the water behind, the trees, and the sky. He carefully considered for a few minutes, and then came to a certain place and used his lightness skill to fly. His lightness skill was not as good as Yan Shisan's, so naturally it was not enough to cross the river, but coincidentally, when he crossed the river, it was the calmest time of the river. Without the interference of the rushing water, he fell into the river, calm and composed, and immediately used his lightness skill again. He did this three times in a row and successfully reached the other side.
"Brother, I'm going over first."
Seeing this, Yan Shiliu did not stop any longer. Among all the people present, he had the best lightness skill, so he crossed the river easily.
At this moment, the only people left to cross the river were the sword fairy Cai Wei and Li Changxiao.
Cai Wei glanced at Li Changxiao, then went across the river on her own. She slapped the green sword at her waist, and the sword suddenly flew into the air and shot straight into the sky.
This scene really shocked everyone present. The skinny old Taoist priest kept saying, "Young people are to be feared, young people are to be feared. With this girl around, the male swordsmen of the Chitian Dynasty may never be able to hold their heads up again in their lifetime."
"Of course." The Gu girl was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. "Look, isn't there a male swordsman? I wonder what he feels at this moment."
It was while they were talking.
Cai Wei was seen flying for a distance on the sword, then jumping high into the air and landing steadily, while the sword under her feet just flew into its scabbard.
This move is truly astonishing, and it really does show some of the style of a sword immortal.
Even Li Changxiao nodded. Even though now, under the influence of cultivators, mortal martial arts have undergone a qualitative change and the upper limit has been much higher, there are probably not many people who can achieve such a level as Cai Wei.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, she is probably one level ahead of other mortal swordsmen.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the swordsman in white.
Li Changxiao did not try to show it off, just like crossing a river normally. He used his Qinggong skills to walk on the water, relaxed and freehand, somewhat similar to the old Taoist priest. The river was not turbulent when they crossed it, but his Qinggong skills were better than the old Taoist priest's, so he crossed the river in one breath.
The group continued to move forward. Only the knowledgeable and lean old Taoist looked at Li Changxiao twice. He was able to cross the river because he took advantage of the terrain, so the river did not hit him with a torrent. However, the swordsman in white did not take advantage of any terrain and was just crossing the river normally. But why... the river still became calm for him?
It is a time of doubt.
The swordsman looked at him with a smile and explained, "Maybe Jiang He favors me."
The old Taoist was stunned, then shook his head and laughed. Rivers don't understand human nature, so how can they favor people? Who has the nerve to do this?
"Maybe Brother Li went to the River Mother Temple to pay respect before he left." Yan Shiliu added, "All the rivers in Lingtianzhou are under her care. Brother Li is so handsome, so it's normal for her to show some favor to him."
Li Changxiao looked at Yan Shiliu with a smile, but said nothing.
Hearing the words "Hemu Temple", the old Taoist priest, the swordsman, and the witch all had their pupils shrink.
The more knowledgeable people are, the more they know that the Hemu Temple is extremely extraordinary. People passing by will often worship devoutly. The old Taoist thought about it and felt that this is indeed possible.
Naturally, there were many obstacles afterwards.
There were mountain kings blocking the road, ferocious tigers, and even a few monsters on the way, but they were all overcome one by one. When they were near Yanjia Village, with about four miles left, the group encountered a strange beast. It was like a monkey, with a green face, and was extremely ferocious. According to the principle of one person taking action at a time, this time it was Cai Wei's turn to take action, and she easily killed the monkey.
Every time she made a move, she gave the others a "fairy-like" shock and made them marvel at her swordsmanship. One night, Yan Shiliu and Li Changxiao talked about this sword fairy. Her deeds were extremely brilliant and Yan Shiliu naturally admired her, but there was another emotion in his words.
It was because when Cai Wei was fourteen years old, she held a peach wood sword and challenged the number one swordsman of the Chi Tian Dynasty. She easily defeated him. From then on, her swordsmanship was far ahead of others. If it were just that, it would be fine, but she was dissatisfied with the fact that most swordsmen were male, so she traveled around the world with a sword and defeated all the male swordsmen one by one. From then on, in the ranking of swordsmanship, she no longer wanted to be the first or the second, but only the hundredth, just to humiliate the male swordsmen, who were not even a decent one.
Yan Shiliu is a man, so he was very angry. The huge Chi Tian Dynasty was actually dominated by a woman. Many old swordsmen died on their sickbeds because of this. But the gap was getting wider and wider. Cai Wei's swordsmanship level was getting higher and higher. She claimed to be ranked 100th. The powerful male swordsmen did not even dare to claim to be ranked 150th. It was really cowardly and helpless. He was depressed, and it was naturally impossible for him to make a breakthrough in the sword art.
It's not that I can't stand women being strong, I just think that there's no need to do things this way. Acting like this is tantamount to breaking the male swordsman's backbone and ruining his future.
Apart from this, Cai Wei is okay in other aspects except for her arrogant personality. She is a righteous person. Yan Shiliu feels that it would be great if there could be a male swordsman who could compete with this person. Cai Wei is so popular that many women, taking this as an example, also look down on male swordsmen in the world.
After hearing this, Li Changxiao suddenly realized why Yan Shiliu kept looking at him when the witch called him a male swordsman on the road. It turned out that she was afraid that he would get angry.
At that time, Li Changxiao laughed heartily, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although it's a bit bullying, but in this situation, if I have the chance, I will show her my skills."
