Chapter 164: Ice and snow melt into cold knives and fall
The reason why there was drizzling rain in the sky was because of the sword intent of Huifeng Wuliu Sword.

There is drizzle and slanting wind, and the willows are swaying.

Of course, in this Western Region Kunlun, there are no willow trees like those in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River.

However, this does not affect the beauty of this sword technique.

Of course, Zhou Dian, who was defeated by Liu Chengfeng, might not think so.

Because during the fight, he clearly felt the cold murderous intent behind the delicate sword technique.

However, at this time, the drizzle that was originally floating in the sky had stopped.

It stopped very suddenly.

And the reason why the rain stopped was not because the winner had been decided and Liu Chengfeng had stopped.

The rain that was originally falling suddenly stopped there.

At first glance, you can clearly see the transparent lines.

It is made up of drops of rain.

This is definitely an extremely weird picture.

It was as if the entire space suddenly solidified at this moment.

The two groups of people in the field raised their heads almost at the same time.

At this moment, the rain lines that were originally stagnant in the air were also changing.

The originally transparent rain curtain suddenly began to appear white.

As a result, the temperature in the sky also began to drop rapidly.

In just a blink of an eye, the transparent rain lines had frozen.

From a distance, it looks like huge icicles hanging down from the sky.

But if you rely on it, you will find it.

Those densely packed ice crystal strips were emitting a terrifying aura.

This is definitely an extremely shocking change.

But at this moment, no one in the field went to see the strange phenomenon in the sky.

Everyone's eyes were looking towards the horizon.

There, an old man in a coarse cloth gown had already revealed his figure.

Just a moment.

Everyone felt a tremendous pressure.

It was as if the sky was pressing down.

It was like an ultimate sword, slowly being unsheathed.

Be it the righteous path or the evil path.

Everyone has a feeling.

All around, up and down, between heaven and earth, there was an extremely sharp aura.

It was like an invisible knife was placed directly above their heads, which could cut them in half at any time.

At this moment, no one even dared to move.

But everyone knows one thing.

Qi Lianhua is here.

Everyone in the field, whether good or evil, is from the Ming Dynasty.

They don't know much about Qi Lianhua.

In fact, it was after the news of this decisive battle came out.

Only then did they know about Qi Lianhua, the sword and armor master who had been promoted to the Grand Master several decades ago.

And it was not until now that they truly realized how powerful this Blade Armor was.

Just by showing up and exuding an aura, he almost suppressed both the good and evil forces on the field.

"Why at this time?"

Several sect leaders, led by Miejue, exclaimed almost at the same time.

Qi Lianhua's appearance not only made them realize how powerful the other party was, but also revealed a terrible fact.

What they had guessed before actually came true.

The place where Qi Lianhua and Gao Changsheng had their scheduled battle was most likely here.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The sound of swords in the air became louder and louder.

Strong winds suddenly rose above the top of Guangming Mountain.

Along with the endless gale, there was also snow and wind all over the sky.

Just a blink of an eye.

The entire Guangmingding seemed to have entered a cold winter in an instant.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Just when the mountains, trees, and even the entire sky and earth were covered with a layer of white mist.

A clear sound of footsteps was heard instantly.

The dull sound was like a series of heavy drums, hitting everyone's heart.

Everyone who was originally in the center circle began to retreat.

The sect leaders quickly began to greet their disciples.

At this point, no one cared about the battle in front of them.

Qi Lianhua's sudden appearance disrupted everyone's plans.

The pro-war faction, led by Extinction, almost all had gloomy faces.

After all, the current situation is in their favor.

Not only did they attack the Ming Cult's old nest, Bright Summit, but they also won the first battle.

According to Miejue's idea, the next step would of course be to make a concerted effort to destroy the Ming Cult in one fell swoop.

But at such a critical moment, Qi Lianhua jumped out.

In such a situation, extinction is certainly not going to be satisfactory.

But there was nothing he could do.

She was indeed known for her short temper, but she was no fool.

Of course, it is impossible to be so foolish as to have a conflict with the two grandmasters, especially since these two grandmasters are not from the evil way and have no dealings or conflicts of interest with Emei.

The people in the righteous path were in a bad mood, and the situation in the Mingjiao camp, which was far away from them, was even worse.

Yang Xiao, who was in the lead, had a face as dark as ink.

Although among the high-ranking members of the Ming Cult, no one recognized him as the leader.

But it is undeniable that in the current Ming Cult, he, as the Left Envoy of Light, holds the highest position and is the actual controller of the Bright Summit.

In Yang Xiao's heart, he has always wanted to revive the Ming Cult and let those who disobey him see with their own eyes that he, Yang Xiao, can be a qualified leader.

But now, the revival of the Ming Cult is not only far away, but it has been attacked by someone on the Bright Summit.

This has never happened in countless years.

This alone is enough to make Yang Xiao lose face.

Moreover, when the major sects went up the mountain, the Four Sects of Heaven, Earth, Wind and Thunder that he sent out to block them suffered heavy casualties. If it were not for the Sky Eagle sect members who fought to the death to rescue them, the four sects that he had spent countless efforts to build would probably have been completely destroyed.

You must know that Yang Xiao has high hopes for the four gates of heaven, earth, wind and thunder, and he even wants to use them to slowly replace the five elements flag that does not obey his orders.

But all the years of hard work were destroyed today.

It is conceivable how depressed Yang Xiao is now.

The most important thing is what is in front of you.

Not only the major upright sects show off their power in Guangmingding.

Qi Lianhua, the swordsman who suddenly appeared, also headed straight here.

There is no need to guess what he is thinking, it is obvious that he has regarded Guangmingding as the place for their decisive battle.

You know, this is the most sacred place of the Ming Cult.

The blazing flame in the center is the sacred fire of their Ming Cult.

But now, one after another, people treat them as nothing.

How could Yang Xiao bear this?

You know, Yang Xiao is known for his arrogant character.

When he just started out, he stepped onto Emei Mountain, defeated Gu Hongzi, and seized the Swordsman but then discarded it like a worn-out shoe.

It was precisely that arrogant attitude that made this exterminating senior brother so angry that he almost died.

Later, after joining the Ming Cult, Yang Xiao never submitted to anyone except the leader Yang Dingtian.

But now, when he was in charge of Guangmingding.

The most important place of the Ming Cult, Guangmingding, seemed to have turned into a garden for anyone to enjoy.

This was almost a slap in the face to Yang Xiao.

But no matter how angry or unwilling I am.

At this moment, Yang Xiao did not dare to attack immediately.

All because of three words.

Grandmaster.

Since Yang Dingtian disappeared, their Ming Cult has completely declined.

The most important reason is the loss of the strongest fighter.

There is no longer a grandmaster capable of fighting in the entire Ming Cult.

In fact, if we really talk about comparing warriors, the current Ming Cult is not even as good as Emei.

After all, the Emei sect still has a grandmaster-level master named Dugu Yihe.

And Yang Xiao, the strongest of their Ming Cult, is still half a step away from becoming a grandmaster, and this half step is actually as far away as the distance between heaven and earth.

This is also the reason why the Ming Cult has been hiding in Guangmingding and dared not expand outward.

They, the Ming Cult, had too many enemies, and without a grandmaster in charge, they dared not expand outward on a large scale.

In fact, if the Ming Cult were not far away in the Western Regions and had connections with some other demonic forces, it could have gained some support. In addition, Yang Xiao and the top leaders of the Ming Cult also had some relationships with each other.

The Ming Cult would not have survived to this day.

After all, the Ming Cult's strongest means of defending its religion, the army of the Five Elements Flag, is not in Guangmingding because of the Ming army.

Therefore, facing the grandmaster, Yang Xiao certainly did not dare to act presumptuously.

Whether the current sects can eventually destroy the Ming Cult is still unknown.

But this grandmaster who is about to engage in a decisive battle really has the ability to destroy the Ming Cult.

Although all the great masters of the Ming Cult have gathered together, facing someone at the level of a Grandmaster, these six or seven Grandmasters are actually no different from ordinary people.

After all, not everyone is immortal and can rival or even defeat a grandmaster at the Grandmaster level.

"Qi Lianhua has arrived, where is Gao Changsheng?"

The old voice seemed to fall from the sky and exploded between heaven and earth.

"Buzz!"

As the sound falls.

The snowstorm that swept in quickly began to gather, and snowflakes began to rush toward the center.

In just a few breaths, they turned into long white swords.

The snow turns into a knife, and the knife shines like snow.

Densely packed snow blades were suspended in the air so calmly.

The fierce energy swept down like an overwhelming force.

Everyone trembled unconsciously several times.

"Where is Gao Changsheng?"

"Where is Gao Changsheng?"

Between heaven and earth, there was only this old voice, constantly echoing.

Everyone also began to look around unconsciously.

Qi Lianhua, the man with gray hair, has already stepped onto the Bright Summit step by step through the void.

The snow and wind turned into a sword, proving the opponent's determination to fight.

And now, there is no doubt that Gao Changsheng, the other protagonist of the decisive battle, is left.

Where is he?
They also knew that as a grandmaster, if he really wanted to hide, it would be impossible for him to be discovered with their strength.

But at this critical moment, no one can control their curiosity.

"Since you have already decided to die, why do you have to hide it?"

"If you don't even dare to show your sword? This battle is totally unnecessary."

Just when everyone was curious about when Gao Changsheng would appear.

A light laugh suddenly sounded.

"Gao Changsheng!"

I don't know how many people exclaimed unconsciously.

The only one who can and dares to speak at this time is Gao Changsheng.

And as the laughter fell.

A figure standing with his hands behind his back slowly emerged from the air.

Gao Changsheng appeared.

The two protagonists of this decisive battle have already arrived.

But the people in the field couldn't help but feel doubtful.

They were obviously confused about what Gao Changsheng said.

After all, Qi Lianhua came here openly, so there is no point in covering it up.

As for the words "draw the knife", it is even more like a joke.

At a glance at this moment, the air was filled with sharp snow knives.

If this is not considered showing the sword, then they really don't know what does.

Of course, Gao Changsheng obviously doesn't care about the emotions of the people in the scene.

Ever since he appeared, he has been looking at Qi Lianhua in the distance with a faint smile.

After hearing Gao Changsheng's voice, Qi Lianhua couldn't help but frown.

"call……"

Qi Lianhua raised his head and gently exhaled.

Gao Changsheng obviously had something else in his words. Others might not understand, but Qi Lianhua certainly could not fail to understand.

"It seems that Duke Qi already knows."

Qi Lianhua spoke softly.

Gao Changsheng did not respond and remained in his previous posture.

"Ugh……"

Qi Lianhua didn't care and just let out a sigh.

"But Duke Qi was wrong in one thing. Although I have covered it up, I am not without a sword."

As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the ice and snow knife in the air with complicated eyes.

There were so many snow knives made of ice and snow that they almost occupied half of the sky.

But if you look closely, you can find that the shapes of these snow knives are exactly the same, as if they were copied from the same knife.

"This sword was given to me by my master when I was learning swordsmanship. It is also the first sword I have ever used in my life."

Qi Lianhua's voice was extremely complicated.

"I have practiced swordplay all my life, and have traveled the martial arts world. Countless souls have died under my sword. When it comes to swordplay, I have never been inferior to anyone."

"I have lived up to the sword in my life, but I owe too many people and things to the sword."

A sense of desolation flashed across Qi Lianhua's body.

No one in the field spoke, and everyone was listening quietly to the swordsman's self-narration.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Qi Lianhua raised his head again, and the light in his eyes turned sharp again.

And as his voice sounded, the celestial phenomena in the sky changed instantly.

Those countless snow knives quickly began to gather and merge.

In a flash, it turned into an extremely huge, uniquely shaped ice and snow sword.

"This is……"

Someone in the field immediately expressed doubts.

Judging from the momentum, this giant sword formed by countless snow swords is of course extremely terrifying.

The only thing they were confused about was the style of the knife.

"I seem to have seen this knife somewhere before." Someone whispered to himself.

And the next second, someone who recognized the knife exclaimed:
"This is that..."

But his voice could not be uttered.

Because Qi Lianhua spoke again.

"I am not from Beiliang, and my swordsmanship has nothing to do with Beiliang."

"It's just that the real Dao Jia, the real Qi Lianhua, died twenty years ago."

"I have pursued the way of the sword my entire life, but in the end, I found that I have missed too many things worth cherishing."

"Unfortunately, it's too late."

Along with the sigh, Qi Lianhua's aura continued to surge.

The voice coming out of his mouth gradually began to take on a fierce tone.

"Yes, this is Liang Dao. This old man came here just for Bei Liang."

"Since twenty years ago, I have lived in this world with only one purpose."

"I am not from Beiliang, nor do I wield a Beiliang sword, but I, Qi Lianhua, have long since become a Liang sword, guarding the Liang swords of the people in Liangzhou City."

"hiss……"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the field took a deep breath.

"Daojia actually came for Beiliang. He is actually related to Beiliang."

This news undoubtedly shocked everyone.

Qi Lianhua did not choose to hide, but directly revealed his purpose.

I'm afraid even Xu Xiao didn't expect this.

Xu Xiao had calculated almost everything, except Qi Lianhua himself.

Qi Lianhua is not Xu Xiao. He is a warrior and he will not think about what will happen after failure.

As a warrior, since he chose to take action, he must be aiming to kill the opponent.

Without this confidence, there would be no need for him to draw his sword.

However, if these top masters fight each other secretly, it will only affect their own combat effectiveness.

But for so many people in the field, this was undoubtedly shocking news.

It turned out that the one who conspired behind the scenes to attack Gao Changsheng was Beiliang.

"Beiliang, hiss..."

"It's really surprising that Xu Xiao would make such a choice." Someone sighed.

"It's not surprising. Gao Changsheng has a powerful army and is right next to Beiliang. Facing this threat, it's normal for Xu Xiao to take action."

"But I didn't expect Xu Xiao to choose not to take revenge on the battlefield, but to resort to underworld tactics. Could it be that the King of Beiliang is also afraid of Gao Changsheng?"

"I'm not curious about the matter, I'm only curious about what happens next."

"Once Qi Lianhua said this, Beiliang's involvement has been exposed."

"If Qi Lianhua fails to kill Gao Changsheng here today, then there will be something interesting to watch."

After these words were spoken, many people nodded unconsciously.

Gao Changsheng's deeds have long been no secret, and he is not someone to be trifled with.

Now that we know that Beiliang is plotting behind the scenes, as long as Gao Changsheng survives today, a massive revenge by the other side is almost foreseeable.

Just as people were discussing below.

Qi Lianhua's voice sounded again from above.

"Gao Changsheng, as someone who practices and loves swords, I am also delighted to see such an amazing swordsman like you emerge."

"It's a pity that fate plays tricks on us."

Qi Lianhua shook his head and sighed.

"Since we are both swordsmen, I will not hide my purpose."

"This time, I am looking for you not for the sword, nor for the Tao."

“But it is indeed for life and death.”

“No matter who wins or loses, this is the last battle of my life.

Speaking of it.

The ice and snow knife in the air suddenly shone brightly.

Above the sky, snowflakes bloomed again.

And at the moment when the snowflakes bloomed, a trace of deathly aura rose from Qi Lianhua's body.

"Okay, enough of the small talk."

"Beiliang or other regions, nothing has anything to do with this moment."

"I have no other thoughts, I just want to fight."

"Under this heavy snow, I offer this cool sword as a token of my respect and ask you to fight me."

"I have accumulated sixty years of swordsmanship and will, and now it is unleashed. Please judge for me."

As Qi Lianhua shouted, the sky suddenly brightened.

The sky was filled with snow and wind, which swept down like a storm, and the huge ice and snow knife also hung down like a pillar from heaven.

Qi Lianhua, draw your sword.
