Chapter 177: The so-called four gains in one move

One year later.

Wangcheng Mountain, in a side courtyard.

The young green-robed Daoist stood with his hands behind his back:

"Miss Lei, long time no see; why do you still like wearing this strange mask?"

"Cut the crap, make your move." Li Hanyi, who had suddenly appeared on the roof, leaped to the ground.

"One year, and your martial arts realm has reached the perfection of the Nine Heavens Realm. It can't be called fast, but it seems it can't be called slow either."

As the young green-robed Daoist's Qi surged, Li Hanyi threw out the Iron Horse Ice River in her hand.

It was the first step to break free from the sword Qi space formed by the Heaven-Extinguishing and Earth-Destroying Sword Twenty-Three.

Immediately, Li Hanyi moved according to her heart, rose according to her will, and thus struck out with a stunning sword Qi that drew all the peach blossoms on the mountain.

"Good idea. Since everything stops in the sword Qi space and one can only be slaughtered, you adopted the method of controlling the sword with intent to break the move."

The young green-robed Daoist raised his palm and pressed down with his backhand, the sword Qi space vibrating with a mighty sword momentum:

"It's a pity that such a clever method appears particularly ridiculous in the face of absolute strength."

As soon as the words fell, the peach blossoms on the mountain drawn by the Iron Horse Ice River and the sword Qi mixed with brilliant moonlight turned into powder.

He waved his sleeves, the sword Qi space disappeared, and he took the opportunity to shatter the mask on Li Hanyi's face. The Iron Horse Ice River fell to the ground with a "clang" and returned to its sheath.

"Zhao Haizhen, what level is your cultivation realm exactly?" Li Hanyi asked immediately.

The young green-robed Daoist said leisurely:

"It is still considered half-step Free and Unfettered Heavenly Realm, but I am good at using the power of heaven and earth. Therefore, if you want to break this move of mine, you must at least reach half-step Wandering God."

When Li Hanyi heard this, her expression narrowed slightly:

"Do you think that even if I become a Sword Immortal, I won't be able to break this move?"

"In three trials, I have come to understand the sword technique you practice. It must be named after Still Water, divided into four realms. The first realm is seeing mountains as mountains and water as water; the second realm is seeing mountains as not mountains and water as not water; the third realm is seeing mountains as mountains again and water as water again."

"Above the third realm should be the Sword of Heavenly Dao. Once you enter this realm, you can enter the Wandering God Mysterious Realm."

The young green-robed Daoist said calmly:

"My Sword Twenty-Three can destroy tangible things, but it cannot destroy intangible things. Once you reach the third realm of Still Water, you can naturally turn your own flesh and blood into all things in heaven and earth, completely merging with heaven and earth."

"In this way, not only can you easily dodge, but you can also turn intangible intent into a sword to defeat the Sword Twenty-Three, which is a tangible sword move."

Li Hanyi's eyes were slightly dazed, and she said softly:

"You told me the method to break the move so straightforwardly; do you want to descend the mountain with me, or do you not want to descend the mountain with me?"

"I simply want you to strive a little. What is a mere Sword Immortal? Your vision should be long-term. You must have the heart to surpass your master Li Changsheng. A Human Immortal at half-step Wandering God, or an Earth Immortal who has entered the Wandering God realm, is not your limit."

The young green-robed Daoist's tone was flat:

"This time, it is sincerely because I don't want you to be as unaspiring as Li Changsheng. He had four relationships, but in the end, he was destroyed by the last one, ruining his own path to longevity."

He paused for a moment, looked at Li Hanyi, his eyes reflecting her beautiful figure, and said:

"Ask yourself, is love as short-lived as a mayfly better, or is love that lasts forever better?"

Li Hanyi couldn't help but shyly avoid his gaze, her cheeks flushed, and she said in a low voice:

"Is this you expressing your feelings to me?"

"This poor Daoist is a monk; it just depends on how you think about it," the young green-robed Daoist said leisurely.

Li Hanyi's clear eyes narrowed, and she said:

"When I reach the half-step Wandering God realm, I will come to Wangcheng Mountain. If I can break your Sword Twenty-Three, you will return to secular life and descend the mountain with me."

"Good!"

The young green-robed Daoist's eyes flowed, as if he felt something, and he suddenly smiled:

"Four heroes have appeared in the Lei Family Fort of the Jiangnan Thunderclap Hall one after another. The earliest was Lei Mengsha, and in recent years, they have been Lei Yunhe, Lei Hong, and Lei Qianhu."

"Since this poor Daoist agreed so readily, will you help me send away Lei Hong, who is coming to cause trouble, when you descend the mountain later?"

"You can calculate the arrival of people from so far away?" Li Hanyi was slightly surprised.

"Within a hundred miles, this poor Daoist can calculate even when it will rain a month from now. What is difficult about calculating the arrival of a person?"

The young green-robed Daoist raised his hand:

"Please!"

"Stinking Daoist, you are always someone who refuses to suffer a loss," Li Hanyi said angrily.

"You want this poor Daoist as a person, and I am merely asking you to help with a favor. It seems I am the one who is at a greater loss."

"Shameless!"

Li Hanyi cursed and disappeared from where she stood.

A cup of tea later, Wang Yixing arrived at the courtyard where the young green-robed Daoist lived.

"Senior Brother Haizhen, you still have a way. Just now, I used the Round Light Spirit Talisman to watch from beginning to end."

"In this way, Junior Brother's life tribulation is gone, Miss Li will not be trapped by love, and by the way, the Lei Sect disciples are sent away. You also get peace and freedom; it is truly four gains in one move."

"Second Junior Brother, aren't you afraid that I will fall into the Peach Blossom Tribulation?" the young green-robed Daoist said lazily while lying on the chair.

"Underneath Senior Brother's lazy and casual face lies a state of mind as indifferent and lofty as the Heavenly Dao," Wang Yixing smiled bitterly:

"For you, what is a love tribulation?"

"Second Junior Brother is becoming more and more flattering," the young green-robed Daoist slowly closed his eyes:

"Since the trivial matters are over, let's sleep for a few years first."

Wang Yixing showed surprise, but thinking that even his master Lv Suzhen couldn't fathom the cultivation realm of a certain young Daoist, he didn't say much and turned to leave on tiptoe.

More than half a year later.

A person came riding a crane and shouted loudly as soon as he landed outside Wangcheng Mountain:

"Jiangnan Thunderclap Hall, Lei Family's Lei Yunhe has come to pay a visit to the mountain. Zhao Yuzhen, get out here!"

At this time, Lv Suzhen and Zhao Yuzhen were in seclusion one after another, and Wang Yixing was traveling outside. More than a hundred elite disciples of Wangcheng Mountain carrying peach wood swords were defeated by Lei Yunhe with one finger, and he took the opportunity to break open a path up the mountain.

In a few breaths, he rode the crane all the way up to the Qiankun Hall outside the summit.

Seeing several great Heavenly Masters arrive, he extended two fingers, and the celestial phenomena suddenly changed, with bursts of thunder sounding like ten thousand horses galloping, shaking people's eardrums until they roared.

"Ever since my brother came to Wangcheng Mountain, he has said that the most beautiful martial art in the world is the sword. Today, I want to see just how beautiful the sword technique of Wangcheng Mountain is!"

Lei Yunhe was about to draw rolling heavenly thunder to defeat the several great Heavenly Masters in one fell swoop and lift the entire roof of the Qiankun Hall when a soft voice sounded:

"Noisy, what blind thing is disturbing people's dreams!"

Immediately, the rolling heavenly thunder fell toward Lei Yunhe.

Outside the Qiankun Hall, in the blink of an eye, a person appeared, limp on the ground, his body charred black to the point where his features could not be seen.

"Seniors, let the Lei Family Fort come to collect their people. I will accept the white crane of this guy."

A voice with a hint of a smile sounded again. The giant white crane circling around Wangcheng Mountain let out a wail and suddenly crashed into a side courtyard on the mountain.

A few days later, the Lei Family Fort took the severely injured Lei Yunhe out of Wangcheng Mountain, and this incident made Zhao Yuzhen's reputation in the Jianghu soar.

It was said that he broke out of seclusion and used peerless Daoist methods to break Lei Yunhe's "Startling Thunder Finger" and "Nine Heavens Thunder Induction Art" with a single word.

Time passed leisurely, and in the following years, the world was in turmoil.

Ye Dingzhi used his own strength to turn the thirty-six sects of the Outer Heaven into a sect and launched a war to conquer the Northern Li.

During this period, his subordinates swept through countless famous sects of Northern Li. When they arrived at Wangcheng Mountain, the leader of the Jianghu Profound Gate—

A young Daoist, holding the sword of the past masters of Wangcheng Mountain, the sixth-ranked Qingxiao Sword among the ten famous swords, blocked the Demon Sect army outside Wangcheng Mountain and forced them to take a detour of a hundred miles.

This completely made Zhao Yuzhen famous throughout the world, and he was called the Dao Sword Immortal by the world.
