Chapter 85: Blood Soul Sword Completed, Farewell to Yue Buqun

"Don't worry, Brother Zhu. I will hold back. We can just stop sparring and I won't hurt you." Mo Xiaobei said with the same confidence.

Seeing this look, Lu Yiming and the other two wanted to laugh.

I thought that Sect Leader Mo had the mentality of a child. He must have practiced a few moves recently and couldn't wait to show off, but he didn't know how big the gap was between him and them.

However, since Sect Leader Mo is interested, they will fully cooperate.

Lu Yiming winked at Zhu Xiaoyun, who nodded and then used the Hengshan sword technique towards Mo Xiaobei.

"Please come in." Mo Xiaobei just casually held up a sword and said to Zhu Xiaoyun.

Seeing how loose Mo Xiaobei's body was, Zhu Xiaoyun felt that she was not a threat at all.

Especially the long sword in her hand, which looked quite discordant with her still short and underdeveloped figure.

Seeing that Zhu Xiaoyun was reluctant to take action, Mo Xiaobei lost his patience.

"Then I'm going to take action. Senior Brother Zhu, be careful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Xiaoyun was about to say come on, when suddenly something flashed before her eyes.

"what!"

Zhu Xiaoyun exclaimed subconsciously. He didn't even see the sword clearly. There was only a deadly cold light flashing in his eyes.

Zhu Xiaoyun wanted to raise her hand to block, but her neck felt cold and the sword had already passed through her shoulder.

At the neck, the cold aura of the sword flashed by.

After the long sword was withdrawn, a chill of fear rushed straight to Zhu Xiaoyun's head.

This was because Mo Xiaobei showed mercy, otherwise if he faced the enemy, how would he survive?
Zhu Xiaoyun touched her neck blankly, while Lu Yiming and Zhou Dunru beside her were also stunned.

What just happened?
Is it an illusion?

Only Mo Xiaobei had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Brother Zhu, how come you can't even concentrate when you are sparring with me? You are not serious at all."

"I……"

Zhu Xiaoyun opened her mouth but could not say anything. It was not that she was not concentrating, but Mo Xiaobei's sword moves were too fast and exquisite, and she could not react at all.

But how could Sect Leader Mo...

Without waiting for Zhu Xiaoyun to speak, Lu Yiming came over and replaced him.

"Master Mo, let me fight with you for a few moves."

"Okay!"

Mo Xiaobei was full of excitement, knowing that Lu Yiming's swordsmanship was not weak.

The last time he came, even Bai Zhantang praised his swordsmanship.

Anyone who can be praised by Brother Bai must not be weak.

"Master, please make a move."

This time, Lu Yiming did not dare to slack off at all. He held the sword in his hand and concentrated on his alert.

He wanted to see what kind of strength Mo Xiaobei had.

"Brother Lu, please be careful."

Mo Xiaobei suddenly attacked, still using sword moves.

But with the experience just now, Mo Xiaobei even deliberately slowed down, worried that if he defeated Lu Yiming with one move, he would not be able to have fun.

But even so, this sword was still amazing in Lu Yiming's eyes.

The sword moves are complicated and the subsequent techniques are endless.

More importantly, Lu Yiming recognized that the sword technique used by Mo Xiaobei was not some other sword technique, but their sect's original sword technique - the Seventy-two Moves of Hengshan Sword.

Lu Yiming believed that he had mastered the Hengshan swordsmanship to perfection, and he was also the most outstanding swordsman among this generation of Hengshan disciples.

But as soon as Mo Xiaobei drew his sword, his charm, momentum and the skillful changes in it far surpassed himself.

Hengshan swordsmanship, the sound of the lotus spring!
Before Mo Xiaobei's sword reached him, Lu Yiming already felt that his whole body was enveloped by the opponent's attack.

He barely summoned up his inner strength and used the Tianzhu sword technique to try his best to block it.

But Mo Xiaobei's sword momentum changed, and the tip of the sword seemed to suddenly multiply in Lu Yiming's eyes.

It’s still the Hengshan sword technique, Crane Soaring with Purple Cover!

The sword was like a nimble flying bird, suddenly attacking from all directions around him, making it completely impossible for Lu Yiming to tell which side was the real attack.

Lu Yiming was a little confused and subconsciously wanted to step back and dodge.

But Mo Xiaobei used the move of Yan Hui Zhurong, and the tip of the sword was full of threat.

Before Lu Yiming could take a few steps back, the sword tip was already pointing directly at his vital points.

Lu Yiming drew his sword to block.

There was a clang.

He couldn't even hold the sword in his hand and it flew out of his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the tip of Mo Xiaobei's sword pointed at Lu Yiming.

Mo Xiaobei quickly put away his sword, still feeling a little unhappy.

She was already trying her best to suppress the power of her sword and slow down her speed as much as possible, just to be able to land a few more moves.

In the end, Lu Yiming couldn't even take three moves and was defeated.

This made Mo Xiaobei quite disappointed.

What he had just used was only a small part of the Hengshan swordsmanship. He had not had time to use the most powerful Hengshan Five Divine Swords and the Hengshan Cloud and Mist Thirteen Styles with a Hundred Changes and Illusions to see their power.

This made Mo Xiaobei unhappy.

But if her inner thoughts were known by Lu Yiming and the other two, they would find it even more outrageous.

Even if they had learned skills in the Hengshan School since childhood, they could not say that they had mastered these two Hengshan skills.

As the best disciple of this generation, Lu Yiming had only learned the basics of the Thirteen Cloud and Mist Styles and was unable to fully utilize them in actual combat.

When Lu Yiming left last time, he only left Tong Xiangyu a sword manual of Hengshan swordsmanship, so that she could urge Xiaobei to practice it when she was free. I never dreamed that Mo Xiaobei's swordsmanship could be so exquisite!

She had only used the Hengshan sword technique, and had not yet used other martial arts that she had mastered with greater proficiency.

At this time, Lu Yiming was even more surprised, as if he had seen a ghost.

He was an elite disciple of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but he couldn't even hold the sword during the fight. How was this different from handing his life over to the opponent?
What’s more crucial is that from the collision just now, Lu Yiming actually felt that Mo Xiaobei’s sword was transmitting a strong internal force!

Because of this, his sword was knocked away.

Sect Leader Mo actually has such amazing internal strength, this...

Lu Yiming was completely dumbfounded. If he was told that he could learn the sword moves in a short period of time, he could barely accept it.

However, internal strength must be cultivated over many years to reach a certain scale.

How old is Mo Xiaobei? How can his internal strength...

Lu Yiming was stunned for a long time, then he turned his neck and looked into the eyes of his two fellow apprentices. He saw a strong sense of unreality in each other's eyes.

But after a moment, their shock suddenly turned into joy!

Master Mo has such strength, he is simply a martial arts genius rarely seen in a century!
This is a great thing for their Hengshan Sect!
If Master Mo continues to practice at this pace for a few more years, the Hengshan Sect will have another master with terrifying strength.

There is hope for the revival of the Hengshan School!
Thinking of this, Lu Yiming and the other two became excited.

"Brother!"

"Junior brother!"

"Woooooooo..."

The three of them hugged each other suddenly, thinking of all the embarrassments and difficulties that the Hengshan Sect had faced in recent years, and couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

"what's the situation?"

This neurotic behavior suddenly frightened Mo Xiaobei. He didn't know what was wrong with them.

It's just that you lost to me once, there's no need to be so excited, right?

Or did I just go too far and not give my senior brothers face, and beat them to tears?
But it doesn’t look like...

Mo Xiaobei's face was full of confusion, and Li Ming next to him also had a strange look on his face.

These three top disciples of the Hengshan School seem a little... emotionally unstable.

No wonder I have trouble managing my money every time I travel far away and end up running out of money early on.

After being excited for a long while, Lu Yiming and the other two looked at Mo Xiaobei again, but their eyes were already filled with fiery anticipation.

At this moment, in their eyes, Mo Xiaobei is not only the leader, but also the hope for the future revival of Hengshan Sect!

Maybe it was because their eyes were too emotional, which scared Mo Xiaobei so much that he took a half step back.

Soon, Lu Yiming picked up the sword that had just been knocked away. When he looked at Li Ming again, he was even more awed and did not dare to look down on him just because of his young age.

They knew very well what Mo Xiaobei's strength was the last time they came.

Now, less than a year has passed and he has made such progress in martial arts. It cannot be just because of Mo Xiaobei's extraordinary talent. It is also inseparable from the guidance of a famous teacher.

He had some doubts in his heart before about Mo Xiaobei joining the martial arts gym, but now they have completely disappeared.

Soon, Li Ming asked Mo Xiaobei and three fellow disciples from Hengshan Sect to go back and discuss the internal affairs of Hengshan Sect.

Before leaving, Mo Xiaobei was still quite reluctant, as if he regretted not being able to practice martial arts today.

Lu Yiming and his two companions were not in a hurry to leave Qixia Town, but stayed here temporarily.

The matter has been discussed. Mr. Mo Da will come to Qixia Town soon to meet with Mo Xiaobei to discuss Liu Zhengfeng's retirement. The other senior officials of the three mountains will also arrive soon.

Next, the three of them had nothing else to do, so they acted as Mo Xiaobei's bodyguards, escorting her to and from the academy every day.

When Mo Xiaobei came to the martial arts gym to learn martial arts, they were waiting outside, looking in from afar with anticipation, as if they had already seen the future resurgence and prosperity of the Hengshan School.

The only thing that gave them a headache was that Mo Xiaobei was always greedy and asked them for candied haws and sugar men.

Everything else is easy to deal with, but right now the three of them really have no money.

But since the leader had asked, they felt embarrassed to refuse. In the end, they even discussed whether they should go to the streets to perform and earn some pocket money.

In the end, it was Tong Xiangyu who knew Mo Xiaobei's character and gave them some change in advance, which solved their urgent problem.

In the martial arts hall a few days later.

Zhu Ting and Yue Qing competed with each other, both wanting to outdo the other.

Soon, the renovation work in both places was completed.

[Martial arts gym facilities are further improved, gain attribute points +300]

[The scale of the martial arts hall is further expanded, and attribute points +200 are obtained]

Another amount of attribute points arrived, which was obviously more than usual, making Li Ming feel very happy.

It may be that the quality of the recent renovation projects presided over by Yue Qing and Zhu Ting is higher, so the attribute points granted by the system are also more generous.

After the last gold lottery, Li Ming soon saved up a considerable amount of attribute points again.

But the only headache is that the martial arts hall is no longer quiet and is filled with the sounds of disputes every day.

After both of them finished their work, they both thought that their own work was better and frantically belittled the other's design.

In the end, seeing that the quarrel was getting too intense, Li Ming simply gave the area outside the town to the two of them.

What was even more surprising was that they actually agreed again, and were determined to overpower the other party.

This made Li Ming laugh and cry, and he couldn't help but wonder what kind of good thing could have fallen from the sky that could have made the two masters of the Luban Divine Axe Sect work for him for free.

Apart from paying the money, Li Ming basically doesn't have to worry about anything else.

On the other hand, after a period of adjustment, repeated research and confirmation with Li Ming, Ouyang Shi finally started forging.

For the next period of time, Ouyang Shi basically did not step out of the workshop. If Li Ming had not watched him every day, he might even forget to eat.

This also allowed Li Ming to realize the seriousness and focus of the masters of the Sword Casting Valley on their careers.

Li Ming was also very considerate and asked his disciples not to disturb him at ordinary times. He also arranged for Lin Pingzhi and Yang Guo to take turns guarding here to prevent any emergencies that might have an impact.

Finally, a few days later, a clear and long metallic sound was heard in the workshop.

At this time, Li Ming was standing not far from Ouyang Shi, watching a beautifully shaped long sword taking shape and appearing before his eyes.

A sword is like a work of art, with a simple, smooth and beautiful sword body, and light like the silver glow of the bright moon pouring down from the sword.

At the same time, two blood-red lines extended straight out from the hilt guard, spreading all the way to the tip of the sword and gathering together, adding a bit of cold murderous intent to the sword.

Looking from a distance, it is even a bit dizzying. Ordinary people would be distracted if they took a quick look at it.

This is made mainly of black gold and black iron, supplemented with materials obtained from smelting the blood knife.

Ouyang Shi's face was full of fatigue at this moment, and he rubbed his forehead.

It seemed that all his energy was used up at this moment. He sat aside, but his face was full of an expression of accomplishment.

Looking at my work from afar, I feel very satisfied.

For the first time ever, Ouyang Shi poured so much effort and energy into this sword.

"Master Li, you can try it and see if it works for you."

After Ouyang Shi finished speaking, Li Ming walked over and picked up the sword.

"Buzz!"

As the sword came into his hand, the traceless sword intent in Li Ming's body seemed to be echoed, resonating with the sword in his hand and making a crisp sword sound.

At the same time, a stream of true energy containing sword intent was injected into the long sword, causing the long sword in his hand to tremble slightly, and a faint blood-red glow actually appeared on the surface of the sword.

This should be the unique murderous aura brought by the material of the blood knife integrated into it.

"What a sword!"

Li Ming weighed it casually in his hand for a few times, then swung it slowly.

I just felt that this sword perfectly met my needs, without any sense of stagnation.

Moreover, the sword is very light, and it feels as if it is easily wielded with one's own arm.

At this moment, the sword in his hand did not seem like an external object, but more like an extension of his limbs, and he could use it with ease.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, there was still a flash of surprise and admiration in Li Ming's eyes!

The craftsmanship in the Sword Casting Valley is indeed different!
If someone else cast it, even with the same materials, they would not be able to achieve this effect.

Seeing the expression on Li Ming's face, Ouyang Shi couldn't help but smile.

Before taking action, he and Li Ming had a lot of communication, and basically took into account Li Ming's needs and took every detail into consideration, which is why the current perfect effect is so possible.

Li Ming was satisfied, and this gave him a sense of accomplishment.

"Thank you, Senior Ouyang. This sword is perfect for me."

Hearing Li Ming's praise, Ouyang Shi also explained in due time: "Part of the material of the sword comes from the blood knife. The faint murderous intent emerging from it is soul-stirring, so let's call it the Blood Soul Sword."

Li Ming nodded and continued to look at the sword in his hand, seeming reluctant to let it go.

After resting for a while, Ouyang Shi brought out the scabbard that had been made and handed it to Li Ming.

Only then did Li Ming reluctantly put the sword back into its sheath.

At the same time, a large piece of black gold iron was brought to Ouyang Shi.

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior. These black gold and black iron are just a token of my appreciation."

"no, I'm fine!"

Ouyang Shi waved his hands hurriedly.

Li Ming had used the black gold iron to forge the Blood Soul Sword, and he only consumed less than a quarter of it, leaving more than half.

His initial request was just to get some scraps to take back and study.

But Li Ming bought such a large piece, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless, and it is even out of stock in the world!

But Ouyang Shi refused several times without success. Finally, with helplessness and joy, he accepted the large piece of black gold and iron as a thank-you gift.

Ouyang Shi was very happy and had already started thinking that when he returned to the Sword Casting Valley, he would show off his gains to everyone.

He had even seen the envious looks from his fellow disciples in the Sword Forging Valley.

In addition, he had to make good use of this large piece of black gold and iron, and think about what kind of magical weapon he could create...

Ouyang Shi was quite exhausted this time, and it took him several days of rest before he recovered.

Li Ming originally wanted to keep him for a while longer. Since Ouyang Shi had helped a lot this time, he decided to treat him well.

But Ouyang Shi insisted on leaving, and Li Ming reluctantly saw him off.

Although he had been given a large piece of black gold and black iron as a reward, Ouyang Shi felt that he had gotten a great deal. After all, he had not come here to ask for any benefits, but purely to repay a favor.

It was a pleasant surprise to have such a huge harvest.

But Li Ming still felt bad, so he not only gave Ouyang Shi the remaining materials of a blood knife, but also gave him a batch of the martial arts school's unique secret medicines, Nine-Turn Bear Snake Pills and Xiaoyao Yiqi Powder.

Ouyang Shi couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

Before leaving, Ouyang Shi handed Li Ming a beautifully crafted token.

He said that even if he owed Li Ming a favor this time, if Li Ming needed help in the future, he could take the token to the Sword Casting Valley and Ouyang Shi would come to help.

Afterwards, Ouyang Shi left Qixia Town.

Zhu Ting, who came with him at the beginning, did not leave. He was still competing with his senior brother. Both of them were getting too excited and the competition was becoming more and more intense.

The daily progress of the two projects brought Li Ming considerable attribute points.

A few days later, Mr. Mo Da from the Hengshan School finally showed up at the Tongfu Inn in Qixia Town as promised.

Also coming with him was Liu Zhengfeng, who had announced that he wanted to retire from the criminal world.

At the entrance of the martial arts hall, a familiar face appeared...

Yue Buqun brought Linghu Chong and appeared in front of the martial arts hall again to visit.

"Mr. Yue, long time no see, how are you?"

When Li Ming heard that his old customer Yue Buqun was visiting again, he came out to greet him.

But as soon as I saw Yue Buqun, I could clearly feel that he was different from before.

Look carefully -

Yue Buqun's skin became fair and soft, and he seemed to be several years younger.

The Adam's apple also disappeared.

The beard also seemed different from before, much thinner and looking a little weird.

After careful observation, Li Ming could barely make out that Yue Buqun's beard must have fallen off, but he had glued them back on one by one, which was why it looked weird.

After getting a little closer, Li Ming suddenly became alert.

Compared to last time, Yue Buqun's aura was completely different.

"He has broken through to the Grandmaster level!"
