After the battle at Longhu Mountain, everyone knew that Pei Qing was truly invincible.
The Demon Sect also wanted to temporarily avoid the spotlight, withdrew the Demon Sect's pursuit order to kill Pei Qing and Huan Huan, and announced to the world that Houhan is still the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect. As long as she is willing to return to the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect will be controlled by her in the future. lead.
As soon as this news came out, it can be said that it shocked the world. At the same time, the people of the world were also very shameless towards the Demon Sect's actions. This was entirely because they wanted to use Huanwen and Pei Qing's invincible power to scare the world.
Huanwan was not stupid. She understood why the Demon Sect had this idea. She did not choose to return to the Demon Sect. She just said goodbye to Pei Qing temporarily to avoid suspicion, and returned to the Shudi hut, quietly waiting for Pei Qing to become the best swordsman in the world in Kyushu.
………………
One month later.
Lushan.
In an elegant and unique cabin, a middle-aged man is playing the piano. His brows reveal the vicissitudes of life, with a hint of melancholy, and the sound of the piano is low, showing sadness.
This is a tragic figure.
What was played was the famous song "Nan Ke Meng", a sad and sad piece with endless sorrow.
suddenly.
Zheng! !
A crisp sound of broken strings sounded, breaking the silence in the room.
The middle-aged man stopped playing.
Looking into the distance, he saw a figure coming through the air, with fluttering clothes, long hair and a tall figure.
He walked step by step, as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard, stepping on the sea of clouds. Each step covered a distance of dozens of feet.
In the blink of an eye, he landed outside the hut.
The middle-aged man stared at Pei Qing with deep eyes: "Are you Pei Qing?"
"Junior Pei Qing, pay my respects to senior."
Pei Qing bowed and saluted, and the person in front of him was clearly Lang Fanyun, whom he had been pursuing for more than a month. His purpose was to ask Lang Fanyun for swordsmanship in order to break through himself.
Of course, the most important thing is to complete the task of asking the top ten sword masters in the system.
"Um."
Lang Fanyun nodded: "Come in and talk."
He knew what Pei Qing wanted to do and did not refuse Pei Qing's request.
The two walked into the hut.
"You want to learn my swordsmanship?"
Lang Fanyun asked lightly.
Pei Qing replied without hesitation: "If you don't want to learn, I will ask you about swordsmanship."
"Then ask." Lang Fanyun said calmly.
"Senior, shouldn't we have a sword fight?" Pei Qing said seriously.
"I'm not interested." Lang Fanyun shook his head, his tone full of sadness.
Pei Qing hesitated to speak. Looking at Lang Fanyun's determined eyes, he felt a sense of frustration. This was a look even more sad than that of Li Xunhuan.
"Your sword is no longer a mortal sword, and the Tao is no longer a mortal Tao. There is no difference between our two realms. However, since the battle at Longhu Mountain, your state of mind has been invincible. It is difficult to find an opponent in the world, even if you are a master of swordsmanship in the world. The number one Shangguan Xianchen may not be your opponent." Lang Fanyun gently brushed the strings and said leisurely.
There was a hint of desolation and confusion in his voice.
Pei Qing asked, "What about you?"
"My way has been cut off." Lang Fanyun said calmly: "My way has reached the limit of the world. If I go any higher, I can no longer find a way. I once asked myself, who am I? , What is my way, but I still can’t find the answer. My way of swordsmanship, my way, has been broken.”
He expressed his confusion.
Hearing this, Pei Qing asked doubtfully: "Have you not already understood that 'the only thing that can be perfect is love, so it can be perfect with swords'?"
Lang Fanyun asked back: "Don't you also understand the concept of 'sentiment and ruthlessness'? But how do you feel that you are different from this world?"
Pei Qing's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, but he did not reply. He did not interrupt Lang Fanyun's narration. He knew that this was Lang Fanyun narrating his way to him.
"If you feel that your 'Tao' is becoming more and more integrated with this world, you have to give up your current Tao." Lang Fanyun continued, his tone becoming serious, which seemed to be a final warning to Pei Qing.
Hearing these words, Pei Qing trembled all over.
"Give up?" Pei Qing muttered to himself, his face uncertain.
"That's right." Lang Fanyun nodded affirmatively and continued: "Do you know the realm above heaven and man?"
"A realm above heaven and man?" Pei Qing asked with a frown: "Isn't it possible to ascend by breaking through heaven and man? Are there other realms?"
In his impression, this world was about the same level as the level of training in the Snow Warrior Swordsmanship. There was only this kind of realm division in the mortal world, but he had never heard of higher realm divisions.
"The realm of heaven and man is indeed ascending, but it is not going to another world." Lang Fanyun said slowly: "There is actually another realm above the realm of heaven and man, called 'Broken Void', and that is the true meaning. Ascend!"
"That's why you asked me to give up my way?" Pei Qing understood immediately. He didn't expect that the end of this world would be the Shattered Void. This is the pinnacle of the martial arts world.
"Not bad." Lang Fanyun said.
Pei Qing fell into silence.
a long time.
He raised his head, looked at Lang Fanyun seriously, and said word by word: "How can you become invincible if you give up the Tao?"
"If you beat Shangguan Xianchen, you will be truly invincible in the world." Lang Fanyun smiled. This was the first time he smiled when he met Pei Qing.
Pei Qing was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect Lang Fanyun to say these words. At this moment, something suddenly came to his mind and he asked again: "Do you know the realms of Dugu Qiubai and Li Bai?"
"Have you seen them?" This time it was Lang Fanyun's turn to be surprised. He knew these two people. When he worshiped Dongting Lake as his teacher, they appeared and gave him guidance. From that time on, the world of Jiuzhou There was an extra Tianji Pavilion, and a list of world's sword masters was issued.
"I've seen it before," Pei Qing said without hiding anything.
When Lang Fanyun heard this, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes: "I have seen them before, and one of them taught me a sword. Since then, I have not seen them."
Pei Qing asked tentatively: "Can you let me observe?"
"You still want to ask me about swords?" Lang Fanyun asked.
Pei Qing replied without hesitation: "Of course!"
"Okay." This time, Lang Fanyun did not refuse Pei Qing. He put the guqin aside, took out a sword box, and said slowly: "Let's go, don't mess up my little house."
When Pei Qing heard this, he immediately stood up.
He soon followed Lang Fanyun to a mountain peak.
On the top of the mountain, the two of them looked at the western fields. It was already late spring, the grass was growing and the orioles were flying, and the trees were shining brightly.
Lang Fanyun put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I only use three swords."
Pei Qing clasped his fists solemnly and said, "Senior, please give me some advice."
Zheng!
The sound of sword sounds sounded, and a wisp of sword energy flew across the sky.
An ancient sharp sword flew out from the sword box, with a sharp edge. In an instant, it stabbed in front of Pei Qing. The sword's power was astonishing, like mercury pouring down the ground, one after another, one after another, as if it lasted forever.
