Fang Hao came to Tingchao Pavilion today to say goodbye to White Fox Face. He also took a batch of books from the pavilion so that he could read them on the way.

Unexpectedly, I saw a new face as soon as I went up to the second floor.

He was a short old man with a broken arm, a goatee, and wearing a tattered sheepskin coat.

The moment he saw the person coming, the Seal of Mountains and Rivers in Fang Hao’s body began to give warnings frequently.

The Emperor’s Qi-gazing technique also detected the old man’s innate energy, which was golden and purple, vaguely condensed into the shape of a sword.

“Huh?” The old man in sheepskin coat seemed to have noticed something and looked up at Fang Hao.

The powerful sword intent attacked Fang Hao through his eyes. This was a purely mental attack, but there was no murderous intent. It was obvious that the old man had no ill intentions.

Even so, facing the opponent’s magnificent sword intent as vast as the Milky Way, Fang Hao still mustered out all his strength, and the Great Seal of Mountains and Rivers condensed by the mysterious yellow energy in his body flew out and protected Fang Hao in front of him.

On the seal, the images of Qingliang Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Liangshui River and Yanzhi River became clearer and clearer, and finally shone brightly, evolving into a mysterious and yellow aura that filled the space between heaven and earth.

“The sky and earth are dark yellow!”

Dragons fight in the wild, their blood is dark yellow. Fang Hao uses human hearts to seal the heart of heaven, with the ambition to swallow the world.

With such a vigorous spirit, he faced the brilliant sword intent of the old man in sheepskin coat head-on, and they were evenly matched!

“Buzz!”

In just a moment, the swords in the Beiliang Palace began to buzz, and the Qingliang Mountain and Liangshui River were shaking.

Shaking mountains and rivers with human power is the method used by warriors in the Celestial Realm. It is very normal that the old man in sheepskin fur can do this, because his realm back then was already the pinnacle of the human world.

Fang Hao was able to do this thanks to the mysterious and wonderful “Huangdi Houde Jing”, which enabled Fang Hao to possess some of the characteristics of a first-grade warrior even though he had not yet reached the first grade.

“You kid, are quite interesting.” After some probing, the old man in sheepskin coat immediately restrained his aura, like an ordinary old man.

“I am Xu Fengnian from Beiliang, and I am honored to meet Senior Li!” Fang Hao bowed and saluted to the old man.

At this moment, he had already seen Xu Xiao, Li Yishan and Nangong Pushe standing on the other side of Tingchao Pavilion, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing that the two had finished their probing, Xu Xiao bowed and said, “Anyway, I’ll have to trouble you, Senior Fengnian, to take care of this trip out of Beiliang.”

As the only king of a different surname in the Liyang Dynasty, the fact that he was treated with such respect confirmed Fang Hao’s guess that the old man in the sheepskin coat was none other than the former “Sword God” Li Chungang!

Li Chungang waved his hand at Xu Xiao, and cast a critical gaze on Fang Hao, saying, “You are quite capable, even I can’t quite see through you. But this alone is not enough for me to accompany you.”

“All the martial arts secrets in Tingchao Pavilion are available for you to borrow.” Fang Hao said.

Li Chungang shook his head and said, “I am not following the path of nurturing hundreds of schools. What’s more, the sword manuals you collected here are full of mistakes and omissions. I don’t like them.”

“The Beiliang Palace owes you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and Xu Fengnian will do his best to get it done.” Fang Hao made another promise.

“I have no ties in this world anymore. What’s the point of asking for favors from your Beiliang Palace?” Li Chungang still shook his head.

Fang Hao thought for a moment and said, “Senior, do you know where the destination of my journey is?”

Li Chungang asked, “Tell me about it?”

Fang Hao said: “The place I’m going to this time is the Wudi City in the East China Sea!” “Wudi City?” Li Chungang suddenly laughed and said: “Why, kid, do you still want to challenge Wang Xianzhi?”

“No.” Fang Hao shook his head and said, “I just want to get back the sword that a close friend of mine left in Wudi City.”

As he spoke, Fang Hao briefly recounted the two times that Lao Huang had challenged Wang Xianzhi.

“You, my old friend, are a true swordsman,” Li Chungang commented.

“So, senior, have you agreed?” Fang Hao asked.

“I didn’t promise you anything.” Li Chungang tapped his feet and said, “But then again, Wang Xianzhi and I are old friends who haven’t seen each other for many years. It’s not a bad idea to go and see him.”

As the world’s number one swordsman sixty years ago, how could I be willing to fall behind others? As a swordsman, I should live for the sword and die for the sword.

Having dealt with the most difficult one, Fang Hao is ready to travel at any time.

Before leaving, the King of Beiliang arranged three attendants for Fang Hao with different body shapes, ages and auras.

“Lü Qiantang, a swordsman from the Southern Tang Dynasty, was defeated by Jian Jiuhuang in an attempt to steal the book ‘Wolonggang Sword-wielding Technique’. However, this man was able to block four of Huang’s swords, and he can be considered a first-class swordsman in the world.” Xu Xiao pointed to the young man with the strongest physique and said.

Fang Hao glanced at the broadsword Chixia held by the man, and then asked, “Are you practicing the Tyrant Sword?”

“Your Highness, I practice the Domineering Sword.” Lu Qiantang was very humble.

After several years of training in the Beiliang Palace, Lu Qiantang is no longer the frog in the well. He knows how terrifying the Beiliang King is. Fang Hao can see that this man’s awe comes from the heart.

“We can have a sparring match if we have a chance.” Fang Hao pointed at the second person and said, “Xu Xiao, who is this woman?”

“Xi Chu Shuxiu is proficient in the art of seduction and disguise, and knows a lot of unorthodox ways. Her internal strength is also quite good.” Xu Xiao said: “Once she gets my copy of ‘Baidi Baopu Jue’, her internal strength may be able to reach a higher level.”

In the underworld, it is hard to guard against the despicable tactics used by all kinds of people, but Shu Xiu’s ability allows him to deal with them with ease.

“As for the last person, Yang Qingfeng from Dongyue, he is good at summoning gods, driving away corpses and warding off ghosts. If it weren’t for the family heirloom ‘The Book of Feeding Gods and Raising Ghosts’, he wouldn’t have ended up blind in one eye and deaf in one ear.” Xu Xiao said.

“It’s very thoughtful. But I don’t understand why Grandpa Wei, who is already old, has to suffer this.” Fang Hao pointed at the old man in Taoist robes who was driving the horse.

Wei Shuyang was taught by Jiudoumi and was one of the five slaves guarding the Tide-Watching Pavilion.

Although he is a servant, like Lao Huang, he is both a teacher and a friend to Xu Fengnian, and they have a very good relationship.

“Your Grandpa Wei has been coveting the book ‘San Tong Qi’ for a long time. Besides, he is also proficient in Feng Shui, divination and the art of Qi Men Dun Jia, which will definitely be helpful to you.” Xu Xiao advised.

“Isn’t it just ‘Santong Qi’? I’ll give it to him. As for the colleagues, forget it.” Fang Hao said with some reluctance.

Xu Xiao pondered for a moment and said, “It’s all up to you. Besides, there are the 100 Phoenix Camps commanded by Ning Emei. Only with this can Dad rest assured.”

“Okay!” Fang Hao nodded in agreement.

In fact, during this trip to the East, Fang Hao will try to find a way to thoroughly master the “Huangdi Houde Jing”.

Once he becomes one of the world’s top players, he will be qualified to be a chess player.

“Practice Qi – open meridians – acupuncture points, the next step is ‘transformation’. After the Qi is transformed, it is time to embark on the road of fighting for the dragon. The era of great struggle begins from now on!” Fang Hao thought. (End of this chapter)
