The next morning, it was just dawn.
Without waiting for the ship to set sail, Zhou Yi and Qin Ge used their Qinggong skills to climb out of the deck and rushed south.
In order to facilitate the journey, both of them traveled as lightly as possible. Apart from the necessary clothes, all the gold, silver and jewelry were exchanged for silver bills that were easy to carry with the help of Concubine Lei Ming.
Since they had nothing to carry with them, the two of them ran at an incredibly fast speed. They were able to cover a distance of more than 200 miles in one day and one night. It seemed that it would not take long before they could reach Suzhou.
As the two were on their way, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. Looking in the direction of the sound, the first thing they saw was two extremely majestic horses, with four hooves flying, running like the wind. They were still far away when they first saw them, but in the blink of an eye they were already close.
There were two people, a man and a woman, on the horse. The man was wearing a brocade robe and had a sword on his waist. He was in a casual and handsome manner, with a hint of evil in his face.
The girl was wearing a light yellow gown, a gold-threaded hat with a long emerald green feather on the edge. She stood in the gentle breeze, letting the corners of her clothes sway in the wind, looking as if she was floating in the air. When the girl saw Zhou Yi, she smiled softly on her flawless white face. In her smile, her two bright eyes shone brightly, as if they were not human eyes, but the stars in the sky.
"Hey! Is it you?" The girl's voice like a silver bell suddenly sounded.
Zhou Yi took a closer look and naturally recognized the identities of the two people immediately. Although he had only met them once, beauties of this level would always leave a deep impression on people.
"I'm a country folk, nice to meet Miss Murong." It turned out that these two people were Dugu Cheng and Murong Yanran whom Zhou Yi had met outside the Dugu family's mansion that day. Zhou Yi was indeed surprised that Murong Yanran could still remember him.
Dugu Cheng, who was standing by, looked at Murong Yanran's surprised expression, and his face immediately became a little unhappy. He asked, "Yanran, do you know these two guys?"
"Yes!" Murong Yanran smiled and said, "Brother Dugu, have you forgotten? I was the one who brought him in from outside the Dugu Clan!"
"Oh!" Dugu Cheng seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Zhou Yi with a look of contempt: "So you are a beggar from the Dugu clan! I'm so sorry, I almost forgot about you!"
Seeing Dugu Cheng's performance, Qin Ge's eyelids twitched involuntarily twice. Dugu Cheng's tone and expression were extremely contemptuous. Even he felt a little indignant at such humiliation. He looked at Zhou Yi as if he was ready to draw his sword for a fight.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi seemed to have not heard Dugu Cheng's words at all. He smiled at Murong Yanran and said, "I have heard that Miss Murong is the most beautiful woman in the world. After seeing her today... well... she seems to be just average! But it just so happens that I just happen to be in need of a concubine, so I have no choice but to accept you..."
“Asshole!” Dugu Cheng’s face suddenly changed, and he was furious. He drew out his sword with a “clang!” and pointed at Zhou Yi and said coldly: “How dare you, asshole, speak rudely to Yanran? I will teach you a lesson!”
Dugucheng shouted angrily and attacked Zhouyi with his sword, going all out. However, Zhouyi did not draw his sword when facing the attack of Dugucheng. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and used his superb body skills to fight with Dugucheng.
When Dugu Cheng attacked Zhou Yi with his fierce sword moves, Murong Yanran behind him was also observing Zhou Yi carefully. The Langhuan Blessed Land of the Murong family was known to contain all the martial arts in the world. Murong Yanran had been lingering there since she was a child. Although her own martial arts skills were average, in terms of martial arts theory, her skills were not inferior to any top masters of the time.
She looked at Zhou Yi's dodging movements, and couldn't help but be more and more surprised. Although Zhou Yi's every move seemed to have no rules at all, and even she couldn't tell Zhou Yi's martial arts skills, it was these seemingly scattered moves that were always just right, like an antelope hanging a horn and leaving no trace.
It seems that there are only two possibilities for Zhou Yi. Either he is a genius who has never learned any martial arts, or... he is an extraordinary master who has transcended the constraints of martial arts moves
Thinking of this, Murong Yanran hurriedly screamed loudly: "Jian Yi!"
Although Dugu Cheng was puzzled, he always believed in Murong Yanran's advice and took action immediately!
When the Wushuang Sword was swung, a terrifying sword energy scratched through the air immediately, cleanly and neatly, and incredibly fast!
Sword One, although it is the starting move of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique and also the simplest one, it is definitely not simple! Many people have imitated that straightforward, clean and neat sword, but no one can use it as brilliantly as the Sword Saint, unparalleled in the world!
The reason is that Sword One is not an ordinary sword at all. On the contrary, it is a very wonderful and incredible sword.
With Zhou Yi's profound spiritual perception, he was able to see through the seemingly ordinary sword. In fact, it was a dozen consecutive stabs at lightning speed! Then, the dozens of sharp sword forces were combined into one peerless sword!
Sword One alone is so powerful. Wouldn’t the Holy Spirit Sword Technique that follows really be able to destroy the heavens and the earth, or even end the world
“Interesting!”
Zhou Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and swung out a sword with one hand. As the Jiuxiao true energy circulated, dazzling sword light burst out from Zhou Yi's body. In a blink of an eye, he was already in a net formed by sword shadows!
"Let me see how mysterious your Holy Spirit Sword Technique is."
"Sword Nine!" Murong Yanran bit her lips and shouted loudly.
As Murong Yanran finished speaking, Dugu Cheng had already swung his sword. The sword was full of sword shadows, like snowflakes flying in the sky. In an instant, it had enveloped Zhou Yi.
It was originally an ordinary sword, but immediately under the Ai Wushuang sword, it exerted unparalleled power. Dugu Cheng's figure immediately turned into a ghost, and his speed was even faster than Zhou Yi.
Ten thousand swords and thousands of waves!
Dugu Cheng trembled his right hand, and saw that his right hand kept drawing sword flowers. As sword shadows were flying all over the sky, millions of sword shadows overlapped and hit Zhou Yi.
However, facing Dugu Cheng's powerful sword moves, Zhou Yi had no intention of dodging. He waved his hands freely, and swung out sword energy to isolate Jian Jiu outside the sword energy shield. No matter how powerful Dugu Cheng's attack was, he could not get close to Zhou Yi.
"Sword Ten!"
Jian Jiu had been broken by Zhou Yi, so Dugu Cheng could only change his tactics and attack again to regain control of the situation! However, before Dugu Cheng could start his sword move, Zhou Yi rushed towards him with the sword energy shield
"Bang!"
The Wushuang Divine Sword and Zhou Yi's sword energy shield collided directly face to face for the first time. Dugu Cheng's internal strength was naturally far inferior to Zhou Yi, who had mastered the Nine Heavens Sutra, and he was immediately forced to fly several feet away!
Jian Shi had not even made a move when he was broken by Zhou Yi. This was a great shame for Dugu Cheng! He stood up from the ground, and his scarlet eyes finally began to glow with an unprecedented ferocious look! (To be continued)
