Chapter 1726

~7 min read 1,272 words

Originally, when everyone saw that Long Xiaoyun was already at the Innate Realm at such a young age, it had already drawn many exclamations.

Even many people in the field who had been in the Jianghu for many years had cultivation not as good as Long Xiaoyun's.

This was truly the youngest Innate expert in history.

And the "Cloud-Rowing Palm" used between those young palms was even more powerful, actually suppressing Li Xunhuan.

Even if Li Xunhuan's injuries were not light, it was still shocking.

Many people subconsciously looked at Gu Hanyuan, who was watching the battle calmly, and A'fei, who looked proud, and immediately had many guesses and associations in their hearts.

A'fei was also young, breaking through to Grandmaster at only seventeen.

If it weren't for the even more legendary Gu Hanyuan, the sensation caused would have been even greater.

And even so, it caused an earthquake in the Jianghu.

And A'fei also defeated Guo Songyang, ranked fourth in the "Weapon Manual," and Lv Fengxian, ranked fifth.

The degree of shock was naturally even greater.

It was no secret that A'fei obtained the secret manual of the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" from Gu Hanyuan.

The vast majority of people guessed that A'fei was able to advance by leaps and bounds because of this, becoming one of the few experts in the Jianghu.

This irrefutable truth caused a misunderstanding.

They mistakenly thought that Long Xiaoyun also learned the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" from Gu Hanyuan.

After all, according to normal people's understanding.

How could such a top-tier divine art appear again and again, and still be in the hands of the same person.

Some even suspected that the martial arts Gu Hanyuan himself learned were the same set of divine arts as those on A'fei and Long Xiaoyun.

If they could obtain them, wouldn't it be possible for them to become the next Gu Hanyuan who was famous in the world?

Immediately, many greedy gazes focused on A'fei.

Greed didn't mean stupidity; the consequences of targeting Gu Hanyuan's personal disciple were obvious.

And since she was a personal disciple, it was very likely that Gu Hanyuan taught Long Xiaoyun martial arts through oral instruction, and might not have left behind a secret manual.

And it was well known that A'fei had the divine art secret manual on him, and his relationship with Gu Hanyuan was not as intimate as Long Xiaoyun's.

Even if they snatched the secret manual from A'fei, it might not necessarily draw Gu Hanyuan's crazy retaliation.

In this way, was there any need to say who should be targeted?

Of course, A'fei's strength was not bad, which was a problem, and it wasn't guaranteed that Gu Hanyuan wouldn't strike for A'fei.

However, wealth is sought in danger; wanting benefits but not wanting to bear any risk was purely daydreaming.

The risk of acting against A'fei was already at an acceptable level.

However, before these people who had greedy hearts could think about how to snatch the divine art secret manual from A'fei,

the rapidly changing situation made it impossible for everyone to react for a while.

Only to see a white shadow flash, and Gu Hanyuan had already intervened between Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun.

He pinched a flying dagger in his hand, and his slender fingers were cut by the blade, blood flowing.

Gu Hanyuan looked at the flying dagger in his hand with some surprise.

Although suffering a little injury was part of his plan, the power of the "Little Li Flying Dagger" still exceeded his expectations, a gap in strength that was completely disconnected from Li Xunhuan's true cultivation.

First was the speed, more than twice as fast as A'fei's fast sword, who had learned the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art."

Gu Hanyuan keenly discovered that Li Xunhuan had a very short period of energy accumulation before launching the dagger.

However, it was precisely this very short period of energy accumulation that was the secret of the "Little Li Flying Dagger."

The acceleration completely exceeded the normal rules of striking.

Anyone with cultivation below Grandmaster would be hit by the dagger before they could react.

Even with cultivation above Grandmaster, they might not be able to block it.

People in the Jianghu were generally strong in offense and weak in defense, and being hit by the flying dagger in a vital spot was basically certain death.

On the contrary, experts like Ao Bai, whose external arts had reached the peak and were indestructible, did not fear the "Little Li Flying Dagger."

Secondly was the artistic conception.

Why was "Sorrowful and Indescribable" in the "Indescribable Sword Technique" so abnormally powerful?

It was precisely because of the existence of artistic conception.

The "Little Li Flying Dagger" was the dagger of justice.

As long as the belief did not waver, the artistic conception would move forward courageously.

No wonder Li Xunhuan always waited until the end to launch the dagger, and never ambushed.

The reason lay in the fact that he needed to strengthen his belief first.

The dagger just now that was launched towards Long Xiaoyun clearly lacked firm belief, and the power of the artistic conception was also much smaller.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Gu Hanyuan to catch it, and he could have controlled the degree of his own injury.

Even in Gu Hanyuan's view, if Li Xunhuan's belief was firm, Lu Xiaofeng's "Lingxi Finger" wouldn't be able to catch the "Little Li Flying Dagger."

Even an Earth Immortal could possibly be killed by the "Little Li Flying Dagger" without being on guard.

The threat and utilization value of Li Xunhuan in his heart increased greatly.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were mysterious.

Speaking of which, Li Xunhuan still owed him two favors.

Long Xiaoyun, at this moment, could no longer care about revenge, holding Gu Hanyuan's injured hand with incomparable heartache.

Looking at the wound on Gu Hanyuan's finger, she felt even worse than if she had been injured herself.

Gu Hanyuan comforted her gently upon seeing this:

"Xiaoyun, don't worry, it's just a small injury."

He turned back and said coldly:

"Li Xunhuan, you launched a dagger at Xiaoyun."

Li Xunhuan was still in a daze at this moment.

He only barely came back to his senses after hearing Gu Hanyuan's voice.

Seeing that he had blocked the "Little Li Flying Dagger," he couldn't help but sigh in relief.

He had almost killed Lin Shiyin's daughter, Long Xiaoyun, just now.

This was a completely different situation from Long Xiaoyun.

The grievances between him and Long Xiaoyun were unsolvable.

But he absolutely didn't want to harm Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun.

Let alone killing Long Xiaoyun.

In fact, Li Xunhuan had a bit of intention to yield when he was attacked by Long Xiaoyun.

.. 0 0

Otherwise, with such a huge cultivation gap, he wouldn't have been in such a precarious situation even if he was injured.

After all, for him, dying at the hands of Long Xiaoyun wasn't something difficult to accept.

Precisely because of this, Li Xunhuan looked at his hands in disbelief.

He muttered to himself:

"I don't know why..."

A subtle smile flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

How could Li Xunhuan's mind, which intended to seek death, resist the "Soul-Shifting Technique"?

Looking at Li Xunhuan's incomparably guilty eyes, the purpose of this self-directed and self-acted bitter meat scheme had already been achieved.

I'm afraid Li Xunhuan wouldn't even have the courage to face Lin Shiyin in the future.

It also cut off the possibility of Long Xiaoyun being influenced by Li Xunhuan to give up revenge in the future.
