Tao Zhengren actually believed Gao Xuan. After all, Liu Lin was right in front of him, and there was no point in Gao Xuan running over to deceive him.
The key point is how does Gao Xuan know it so clearly
Gao Xuan understood Tao Zhengren's suspicion, but he did not explain. He was too familiar with Feihua Sect. The other party frequently mobilized forces, which always left various traces.
He Bi from Kongtong Sect was very arrogant. Gao Xuan had already discovered his whereabouts.
He has been practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Internal Energy these days and has made great progress.
Shaoyang Jue laid a solid foundation for him and it came from the same source as Chunyang Wuji, so his transition to cultivation was very smooth.
By comparing two different internal powers, Gao Xuan found some common points in the cultivation of internal power.
This is all due to his vision and insight that transcends the entire era and the world. If it were any other martial arts grandmaster, they would definitely not be able to compare with him in this regard.
Gao Xuan has a lot of ideas, but they just need to be verified step by step in practice.
After all, the laws of the world are different, and his level of internal strength is too low. No matter how knowledgeable he is, he cannot reach the sky in one step.
That's right. Gao Xuan has gained a lot from practicing Chunyang Wuji in the past two days, and his internal strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
Originally only third-rate internal strength, after several days of training, it has reached the second-rate level.
The so-called third-rate and second-rate are actually just a vague division. But Gao Xuan has a feeling that Chunyang Wuji's internal strength has improved greatly in the past few days, and it has made a qualitative leap compared to before.
In this martial arts world, inner strength is actually the foundation.
Just like in his Galaxy Era, source power is the foundation. The stronger the source power you master, the stronger your power will be.
In this world, the stronger the internal force, the stronger the power. As for sword techniques, palm techniques, and light skills, they all need to be supported by internal force.
Therefore, the masters in this world are all very old.
Of course, skills are equally important, especially various weapons, which can greatly make up for the lack of internal strength.
The same internal force will have different effects when released in different ways.
For example, the Flying Swallow Body Movement would make Gao Xuan faster and more responsive. However, the Flying Swallow Body Movement only sought speed and was too light and frivolous. It posed almost no threat to masters.
Among the masters in the martial arts world, very few of them specialize in practicing light skills.
This is not because they are ignorant and do not know how to fly a kite. Rather, they focus on practicing Qinggong and must give up other aspects of their strength.
Without strong enough sword skills, only light skills are not a threat to masters. Moreover, the error tolerance rate is very low. One mistake will be killed by the master.
Even a master of Qinggong like Sanniang has no room to display her skills when meeting Tao Zhengren.
Tao Zhengren shouted softly and used the sound killing skill to break the lightness skill.
Gao Xuan also knew these disadvantages, but what made him different from others was that he would not make mistakes. He also had ways to deal with kung fu such as sound killing.
As his internal strength increased, Gao Xuan's lightness skills became more and more superb. He ran over to warn Tao Zhengren, but in fact he just wanted to find an opportunity to test his current martial arts skills.
Tao Zhengren was a pretty good guy, although a little arrogant, he was very capable and decisive when it came time to act.
Saving people can also put things in order, without killing anyone and running away.
If Tao Zhengren had killed someone and fled far away that night, by the time the Kongtong Sect received the news and responded, he would have already left the northwest.
Tao Zhengren was not ignorant of this, but there were many follow-up matters to deal with after saving people. He couldn't just walk away.
Just for this reason, Gao Xuan felt that Tao Zhengren had strong character and was worth helping.
Of course Tao Zhengren didn't know what Gao Xuan was thinking. Gao Xuan didn't say anything, so he didn't want to ask any more.
He looked at the willow forest not far away. Through the withered willow branches, he could vaguely see a small winery inside. He could also see some figures in front of the winery.
Tao Zhengren looked back and saw a group of knights slowly approaching from behind.
Although the distance was far, I could see that they were all dressed in uniform, so they should be members of the same organization.
There are masters blocking the way in front and pursuers behind. At this point, there is no way to retreat.
Tao Zhengren looked at his two daughters deeply and said, "The Feihua Sect traffics women with vicious means. You will be worse off than dead if you fall into their hands. If something goes wrong, just commit suicide."
Sisters Tao Ying and Tao Hui were a little frightened and responded weakly.
The two girls followed Tao Zhengren on his travels and had never suffered any loss.
When we suddenly encounter such a life-and-death matter, we all feel panicked.
Tao Zhengren sighed. After all, his two daughters were young and not very aggressive. He was just afraid that they would not have the courage to commit suicide.
However, at this point, he had no other options. He could only hope for the best and hope to find a way out.
Tao Zhengren said to his family members who were accompanying him: "This matter has nothing to do with you. You can just run for your lives along the main road."
Several family members were at a loss. Tao Zhengren's face darkened: "Hurry up and leave. This is an order. If you can get away by chance, you can also go home and report it."
Several family members hesitated for a moment before spurring their horses and galloping towards Black Stone City.
Tao Zhengren dismounted and strode into the willow forest with his sword in hand.
Tao Ying and Tao Hui hurriedly dismounted and followed. Although the two girls looked pale, they held their swords tightly.
To the surprise of the two girls, Gao Xuan also dismounted and followed them.
Tao Ying couldn't help but look back at Gao Xuan: "Why don't you run away?"
Gao Xuan said sternly: "When a fellow traveler is in trouble, there is no reason to just walk away."
These words are simple but powerful.
The two sisters were deeply moved, and the way they looked at Gao Xuan was different.
It is easy to say that one should help others when seeing injustice, but how many people have such courage in a life-and-death situation
You must know that the one waiting ahead is Qishangjian Hebi, the famous swordsman and master in the northwest.
Gao Xuan couldn't even defeat the sisters, but he was willing to die with them. Such courage really made them admire him.
Even Tao Zhengren was a little surprised. He didn't quite understand Gao Xuan's thoughts. Did this guy really want to be a hero
Last time at Feiyun Sword Hall, Gao Xuan was able to take advantage. But facing Qishang Sword Hebi, he couldn't even protect himself, so how could Gao Xuan take advantage
Besides, Gao Xuan had obviously fallen out with Feihua Sect. If he was discovered by Feihua Sect, wouldn't he be dead
Tao Zhengren thought Gao Xuan was a smart man who would not do such a stupid thing. On the contrary, he was a little wary of Gao Xuan.
When the group arrived in front of the winery, they saw several tables and chairs outside the winery, and an old man in a gray robe and holding a golden sword was sitting behind the table.
The old man had long fluttering eyebrows, a high Taoist bun on his head, a sickly look on his face, and a thin body, as if he was about to die of illness.
Sitting next to the old man was a tall and strong middle-aged man with long eyebrows, sharp eyes, a red face, a thick beard, and a black iron rod in his hand.
There were more than ten people standing behind the two men. Judging from their clothes and expressions, they should be the disciples or guards of the two men.
Gao Xuan said to Tao Zhengren: "That is the Red-faced Tiger Wang Xiong, the deputy leader of Feihua Sect in the northwest. He is born with supernatural powers and is very powerful..."
Tao Zhengren looked at Gao Xuan in surprise: "Why don't you leave now? It will be too late if you don't leave now."
“Where justice lies, I will go even if there are tens of thousands of people against me.”
Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Not to mention that the senior and I are acquaintances, how can I stand by and watch someone die without helping him?"
These words were spoken in a plain and simple manner, but they were full of heroism.
Tao Zhengren sighed: "I underestimated you. If you can survive this disaster, I will make you my friend."
"Ha ha."
Gao Xuan waved his hand: "Master Tao is too old, it's better for me to make friends with the two female heroes."
Tao Zhengren burst out laughing. Gao Xuan was still able to speak so smoothly at this time. He was really brave.
"If you can survive, this won't be a problem."
Tao Zhengren said as he took up his sword and walked a few steps forward to the old man and bowed, "Is that Senior He of the Seven Wound Sword?"
The sick old man nodded proudly: "It is me. You are the Nine Palace Swordsman Tao Zhengren, right?"
"Exactly."
Tao Zhengren said seriously, "I wonder if you have any advice for me, senior?"
He Bi said calmly: "I don't deserve your advice. Let me ask you, did you kill He Chuan?"
"He Chuan colluded with the Five Sects to traffic in human beings, and also used poison to plot against me."
Tao Zhengren was about to explain the reason, but was interrupted by He Bi: "The right and wrong of the grudge is not important. I just want to ask you, did you kill He Chuan?"
Tao Zhengren understood that the old man came here for revenge, not to reason.
He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I killed him. What does Senior He have to say?"
He Bi nodded: "You dare to act and take responsibility, worthy of being a Wudang swordsman."
He said slowly: "Kill someone and pay with your life, owe a debt and pay it back. This is an eternal truth. You killed He Chuan, so I will kill you to avenge He Chuan. That's it."
Having said that, there is no room for maneuver.
Tao Zhengren was not polite anymore. He said with a sullen face, "The Seven Wounds Sword is famous and renowned in the martial arts world for decades. I didn't expect it to be so unreasonable. My head is right here. If you have the ability, just come and take it."
He sneered: "The Kongtong Sect is powerful, and we in the Wudang Sect are not afraid of them."
Hebi said nonchalantly: "Wudang is powerful, but it can't control this. Today you will pay for the life of my disciple."
He then slowly stood up. His sick look was not just an act.
The Seven Wounds Sword is vicious and cruel, and its sword moves in a strange way. It causes great harm to the body.
The reason why He Bi could live to such an old age was that his internal energy was extremely pure. Even though his body was full of injuries, he could still drag himself to live.
Seeing He Bi dying, Tao Zhengren was on guard. Unless something unexpected happened, he would not be able to beat this old man.
At this time, Gao Xuan suddenly said in a loud voice: "This old man is so unreasonable and shameless. I can't stand it."
Gao Xuan took two steps forward and pointed at He Bi arrogantly: "Old man, come here and die!"
Although He Bi was eighty years old, he was very angry. He was also furious when Gao Xuan pointed at his nose and scolded him.
But at his age, it was impossible for him to argue with Gao Xuan.
Why bother to just pull out the pine-patterned ancient sword? He straightened his body suddenly, his eyes shining brightly.
This small change made He Bi's momentum soar. Tao Ying and Tao Hui were both intimidated by He Bi's momentum, and they felt uneasy and even dared not look at each other directly.
Tao Zhengren was also filled with awe. This old man was indeed getting stronger with age, and his inner strength was even stronger than his.
With Gao Xuan's martial arts skills, he could only take two moves from the old man.
He was a little puzzled as to why Gao Xuan took the initiative to provoke Hebi.
Gao Xuan smiled at Tao Zhengren and said, "Master Tao, do you know about Tian Ji's horse racing?"
Tao Zhengren couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew this story. The question was how many moves could Gao Xuan, the lower Si, and He Bi, the upper Si, fight against
Besides, why bother listening to all this? Is it really a good idea to just say this out loud
He Bi also laughed: "Boy, I will use the upper horse to fight against the lower horse!"
As he spoke, the other person followed the sword, and the cold light of the ancient pine-patterned sword turned into a long streak of light that rolled straight towards Gao Xuan.
Such a domineering sword force made everyone present change color with shock.
Why did it take decades to dominate the Northwest? It’s really amazing!
