Chapter 164: A desperate fight
There are seventeen towns and one county town in Lingzhou.
The county town is close to the northwest, and there are three remote towns, one is further north of it, and the town separated from the county town and Zhongzhou is also called Yumen Town, while the town to the south is called Anren Town, and the last one is on the east side of it, called Jinxi Town.
There are only thirteen towns in Jinxi Town, which is the smallest town among all towns in Lingzhou. Naturally, its geographical area is also the smallest. However, this town has extremely important significance to Xu Yan, because its hometown, Xujia Village, is Baoxi Township in Jinxi Town.
It has been more than three months since we left Wuyang Town, and it has been from the middle of the autumn to the approaching mid-winter.
Mid-winter is November, so it is also called the winter month. The early temperature is already very cold, but it is still good in Lingzhou area because it is much higher than Zhongzhou, which is more northerly. I think it is probably already snowing in Yong'an City in Zhongzhou. However, in the northern part of Lingzhou, the winter month will not snow. Only after the twelfth lunar month can it be possible to snow.
However, it is one thing that doesn’t snow, but in the early morning, there is a thick layer of white frost covered on all things on the earth.
Time is close to Chen.
The morning light gradually emerged from the top of the mountain to the east. After the orange sunlight shone on the ground, it quickly melted the white frost layers. But because of this, countless cold air rose from the ground, making people unable to stop shivering.
However, this coldness was naturally not enough for Xu Yan. After all, when he was in the Lotus Sect, he could come and go freely on the main peak that was thousands of feet above sea level.
Xu Yan still kept getting up early every day, but he stopped riding horses because the horse he snatched from Du Feiyun had already given it to a villager who was sitting in a small village and kindly took him in a cold night five days ago.
The reason why he did this was naturally to express his gratitude to the kind-hearted man. Moreover, he was about to walk out of the mountains, rivers and lakes and walk into the scope of Jinxi Town. He was already not far from his hometown. It would be better to leave it to the person who needed horses more than him.
Looking at the wide fork in front, Xu Yan sighed softly. After passing by here, he actually entered the area of Jinxi Town. This is a concentrated fork at many intersections. Going west is Wangchuan City, and going north is Jinxi Town.
There are also wine shops on this fork, but like most wine shops, breakfast is not included here.
So Xu Yan did not stop here, but went directly through the fork and headed north.
After entering the area of Jinxi Town, Xu Yan did not feel the situation like Gu Xueqing at that time. Perhaps he had not had a deep impression of Xujia Village. The reason why he knew this was that he inherited the original memory, otherwise he would not have to take a detour here at all.
Xujia Village is built in the mountains and rivers at the northernmost end of Jinxi Town. It can be said that from the Lotus Sect of Baishan Ancestor to Xujia Village, it is basically a straight line from south to north. This straight line is undoubtedly the longest among all disciples. Of course, Xu Hui, like Xu Yan, both come from Xujia Village.
It’s around three o’clock in the afternoon.
Xu Yan finally arrived at the town of Jinxi Town, a town with a prosperous degree that is almost the same as Songyang Town, so the scale and area are not too large.
Xu Yan found a noodle restaurant and ate two big bowls of noodles. This was a authentic taste of his hometown. Compared with the Tujia cuisine he had eaten along the way and the local dishes from various places, he felt friendly.
Originally, Xu Yan felt that he would not have felt this way, but in the end he was wrong because the nostalgia and attachment to the past contained in this body rolled in after the nostalgia and nostalgia soup was in the mouth.
This is a taste that he cannot forget.
After eating pasta, Xu Yan did not immediately continue on the road, because after leaving here, he would still choose to take a remote mountain road, probably not passing through any major roads or other markets. After all, he has not encountered any interception for three months, but he does not want to encounter such a disappointment in this last journey.
Xu Yan went to the bustling section of the city and bought a lot of daily necessities. At the same time, he also bought a lot of wine in the wine shop. Then he went to the tobacco shop and the shop selling incense paper candles. After spending about ten taels of silver in a total of ten taels of silver, he stopped.
He must buy these things, some of them are his own needs, but more are used to give them to others.
After purchasing all the necessities, Xu Yan once again confirmed in his mind that he had not missed anything, and then began to walk towards the north gate of the town.
Little did he know that just as he left, he was at the south gate of the town, someone rode a horse and came to the city in silence.
The riders did not stay too much, but bought some casual food in the city to satisfy their hunger and continued to walk towards the north.
He didn't know where the young man he was going to kill, or whether he died or lived, but he knew one thing very well, that was that he knew the young man's hometown, thanks to his eldest son who paid attention to the specific information of the young man when he was in the sect.
"Even if your parents are no longer alive, I think you will take this opportunity to go back. I don't believe that others can't find out your whereabouts. I'll go to your hometown and wait, but I can't wait for you."
After the horse rider bought dry food, he murmured to himself and turned over the horse's back, and then chased him to the north. Just after he rode his horse, a middle-aged man came to the city behind him. The middle-aged man looked at the person who rode his horse and left with expressionless expression, but followed the other person tightly and headed north together.
After leaving Jinxi Town, Xu Yan no longer needed to walk on the map. Although he had not been back for more than three years, he still remembered the small road from Xujia Village to Town.
If you walk alone, the journey is about ten days, and there are two villages in the middle. However, since Xu Yan is walking on a small mountain road, it will naturally be reduced compared to when walking on the main road, and it only takes eight days to reach it.
Xu Yan has walked this road more than once before, but the most recent time was more than three years ago, which was the road he took when he went to the Lotus Sect. It can even be said that in addition to going to Yumen Town next door (because you can cross the mountains), Xu Yan actually has to pass through this mountain road no matter where he goes, so Xu Yan is naturally very familiar with it.
However, before he could leave the main road in Jinxi Town, he split the road to the small road, and behind him there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.
When Xu Yan heard the sound, he was not too worried or afraid, and he didn't even look back. The pedestrians on the road were coming and going, but he had not encountered an interceptor who jumped out of the way for more than three months. He didn't believe that his luck would be so unforgettable. He would encounter such a mess not far from his hometown.
The result seemed as he imagined, the galloping horse behind him passed by directly and continued to head north, while the horse rider didn't even turn his head.
"I hope I can arrive at Xujia Village safely!" Xu Yan thought in his heart, but just as he walked out about four or five miles and was about to turn into the path, he saw that the man who was riding a horse was not far ahead, and he had stopped and turned his head, as if he was waiting for him.
This scene was no longer similar to when he met Du Feiyun three months ago, but the aura emitted by the person in front of him was far from comparable to Du Feiyun. The other party even gave Xu Yan a kind of aura, which was very similar to the aura of Grandma Yin.
Sitting on the horse was a middle-aged man with a calm expression on his face, and he also had a luxurious spirit. He was obviously not an ordinary person.
The middle-aged man watched Xu Yan approaching step by step. When he was only a dozen steps away from him, he asked in a deep voice: "This young man, I don't know which road he should take to Xujia Village?"
When Xu Yan heard the other party stop to ask him for directions, his nervous vigilance did not relax at all. He pretended to be ignorant and asked, "I wonder which Xujia Village you are going to?"
In Jinxi Town, there are not only one Xujia Village, but two, and these two Xujia Villages are not in the same village; for example, Xujia Village where Xu Yan is located is in Baoxi Township, while the other Xujia Village is in Daping Township. These two Xujia Villages are far apart and it is difficult to get there without four or five days.
After hearing this question, the middle-aged man sitting on the horse returned directly: "The Xujia Village in Baoxi Township."
After hearing this answer, Xu Yan shook his head calmly and replied apologetically: "I have never been to Xujia Village in Baoxi Township. I heard that it was very remote, but I don't know how to go. To be honest, I am from Daping Township."
The middle-aged man on the horse's back saw that the other party had no emotional reaction when he heard his mention of Xujia Village in Baoxi Township. He couldn't help but think in his heart that it was not this person. However, although he thought so, his eyes kept wandering on Xu Yan because he wanted to see if there were any objects about practitioners on this young man.
In order to cover up the people, Xu Yan even disguised himself as he looked. Naturally, it was impossible to swagger the storage bag on his waist for people to check. Therefore, in the end, after watching for a while, the man stopped checking. Then he turned his head with the reins in his hand, and wanted to choose a fork road to continue heading north.
Xu Yan remained calm when he saw this, but just as the man turned his head, he saw an object that was as familiar as hanging on the other party's saddle, which made him shocked.
This thing is not a very unique object, but it must be valuable because it is an exquisite and gorgeous sword.
"I didn't expect this sword to be in this person. It seems that he was coming to me for this trip, but looking at his face, it should be almost forty years. Could it be that person's father? If this is true, it would have really hit the small one and the big one. However, the aura of this person is so thick that it is very likely that he has entered the seventh floor. I am not sure of defeating such a master yet, so I can only bear it first." After seeing the sword, a trace of fear finally flashed in his deep eyes, and he thought in his heart.
However, just as Xu Yan thought so, the middle-aged man who had already turned his head to Xu Yan, suddenly had a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Then he used his fingers to make a sword, raised his hand, and the sword hanging on his saddle was automatically unsheathed, and then he drew a beautiful arc in the air, stabbing directly at Xu Yan not far behind him, with the tip of the sword pointing directly to the latter's eyebrows.
When Xu Yan saw the opponent coming to fight with his sword, he could not let the opponent kill him. He immediately stepped on his own and turned his whole body suddenly, avoiding the sword...
When the middle-aged man saw that his sword was avoided by the other party, he jumped off his horse, reached out and controlled the flying sword to fall back into his hand, and said coldly: "It's you, Xu Yan, you have disappeared for more than three months before, but I'm going to find out for a while, but today I want to see where you can run away!"
Xu Yan was not surprised to hear the other party calling out his name in a blunt way, because he also relied on the other party's "Yan Dang" and recognized the latter's identity. If there was no accident, this person was the father of Li Ku and Li Zifan. And not only that, his mind was combined with the word "Li" revealed by the three sect masters of the Danxia Sect before his death. He could even vaguely infer that it was this person who asked the three idiots from the Danxia Sect to intercept him in Songyang Town.
I have to say that this person is really impatient to kill him.
Xu Yan never thought of running away. When the battle came, his only thought was to fight, but the opponent's strength was really unfathomable. Although he was able to confirm that this person had never really entered the seventh floor, the opponent was too close to the seventh floor. This should be between Gao Yuan, who had seriously injured Xu Yan and was in a coma for five days.
Against such a strong enemy at such a realm, Xu Yan said it was impossible not to worry. After all, there are only two sword energy left in his body, which is handed over by Zhao Bailian. These sword energy can be said to be his biggest trump card so far. If you can retain it, you must try your best to keep it.
Xu Yan replied coldly: "It seems that the lives of your two sons were simply redundant."
When Li Yang saw that the other party admitted his true identity in front of him, he was furious in his heart. At the same time, this made him no longer want to talk to Xu Yan, but just wanted to quickly end his life.
So, after Li Yang just roared at Xu Yan, "The prince was killed" and his figure instantly shot out from the spot.
Seeing Li Yangtz coming, Xu Yan didn't dare to take it head-on, and immediately flew out.
However, Li Yang, who had determined his intention to kill, would not give him the opportunity to avoid it blindly. He directly carried the sharp sword energy, layer by layer like rolling waves, constantly rushing towards Xu Yan.
Xu Yan was very familiar with the sword technique displayed on the other party at this moment. It was the Feiyan Sword Technique that Li Ku used when he was fighting him. Xu Yan even stole a few of them from it. However, compared to Li Yang in front of him, there was no doubt that whether it was Li Ku at that time or his sword technique that could not be mastered by a roughly half-baked one, he could not compare with him.
"The geese return south!"
After using six sword moves in succession but still unable to hurt Xu Yan, Li Yang couldn't help but shout. At this moment, the anger in his heart was conceivable, because he felt that Xu Yan seemed to have a very good understanding of the set of sword techniques in his hand, and after he swung each sword, he made an early warning in advance to avoid it.
However, after Li Yang shouted angrily and used the seventh style of the Flying Yan Sword Technique, a white cold light burst out from the Yandang in his hand.
The cold light is the sword energy.
He slashed at Xu Yan, who was passively avoiding his sword move from afar.
This sword was as fast as thunder and lightning, and it was fleeting in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, Xu Yan, who had no choice but to retreat, could only control the martial arts true energy in his body immediately, and condensed all of them in front of him to form a golden light shield to resist it.
There was a loud bang!
The sword energy was like a rainbow, and it directly slashed on Xu Yan's martial arts true energy, and then slashed his body out dozens of feet.
The golden light in the sky was completely blown away by Li Yang's piece, turning into countless star dots and dissipating.
Seeing that the other party could successfully resist his sword, but he was not hurt at all, but he looked a little embarrassed. The shock in his heart was completely inconsistent with the information his two sons had told him before. Therefore, Li Yang couldn't help feeling angry, but also exclaimed: "I didn't expect that your cultivation level could soar so quickly. No wonder the people I sent out before were unable to do anything to you. It seems that I have given you a head for nothing."
Xu Yan didn't think that this exaggeration from the other party was worthy of joy. On the contrary, the reason why the other party said this was because he truly recognized his strength and could no longer underestimate him.
Seeing that Xu Yan was always silent, the murderous intent in Li Yang's eyes became stronger and stronger. He knew that if he could not kill the other party this time, he would have no chance in the future.
"Since death for me!"
Li Yang shouted again, and then he rushed towards Xu Yan with the three-foot sword in his hand.
When Xu Yan saw the other party using the last move of the Flying Yan Sword Technique, the fear in his eyes also reached its peak. There is no doubt that the power of his sword has really touched the threshold of the upper three realms. Caesar's lesson plan courseware opened the 19th.
