Hidden Corners

"Brother Bailu, long time no see, do you remember Yuan?" A man in green with antlers on his forehead raised his hand and smiled at him.

"Yuan Qi!" Li Chengyi said with a smile. "of course I remember."

When he went to the Gate of Time, the first person he fought against was Yuan Qi, who was guarding the gate.

"We haven't seen you for three years. I've made a lot of progress. Do you dare to give me a try?" Yuan Qi's face showed a trace of eagerness to try.

"Isn't this good?" Li Chengyi hesitated.

"If there's anything wrong, come on, come on, we'll stop here." Yuan Qi said enthusiastically.

"Mainly because I'm afraid of accidentally hurting you. After all, the visitor is a guest." Li Chengyi said helplessly.

"So confident?" Yuan Qi's face froze, and he suddenly became more interested.

As the strongest member of the Qingying Group who led the team this time, he had the task of inspecting the next generation of the Faceless Sword Sect.

Unexpectedly, just after they met, they met Bai Lu again, who had lost the trick back then.

"We haven't even fought yet, but you're sure you'll win? You thought it was three years ago?" Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows.

"It's better than this." Li Chengyi said with a smile, "Recently I just want some snow lotuses for my garden. I don't want the light yellow and black stamen type, but other types. If I win, Brother Yuan will give me some other snow lotuses, no matter the year. how?"

"Okay, what if I win?" Yuan Qi smiled.

"You can choose whatever I have," Li Chengyi said generously.

"Okay! It's settled!" Yuan Qi said loudly.

The two of them quickly agreed and immediately headed to the nearby martial arts arena specifically for internal disciple competitions.

With their strength at this level, they naturally have to use the stage of the deacon level.

One of them is the number one member of the Four Little Swordsmen of the younger generation of the Sword Sect, and the other is the younger generation of masters led by the Shuijie Sect.

External masters challenged Li Chengyi. This exciting show immediately attracted many people around.

The two of them came on stage, stood still, and opened the protective formation.

Then I saw the elders and the group of people who were still talking in Sihai Pavilion also came out. They all looked interested and stopped to watch the battle from a distance.

The elder who came to the Gate of Time was a beautiful woman with rabbit ears. She was accompanied by senior brother Huo Qingkong and the gentle-faced elder Mu Ling.

In addition, there were more than ten people coming together. There are people from both sects.

Li Chengyi could feel the subtle sense of touch brought about by the eyes constantly falling on him.

Especially Huo Qingkong's gaze, as it passed over him, was like a knife, extremely sharp and obvious.

He bowed to his senior brother and others from afar with awe in his heart.

Today's Huo Qingkong has obviously changed a lot compared to three years ago.

He still looked gentle and polite, but his smiling face always gave people an indescribable weird feeling.

"Get ready!" Bai He, who was in charge of the referee, shouted loudly.

Li Chengyi quickly recovered and looked at Yuan Qi, who was more than ten meters away.

"start!"

The voice fell. Yuan Qi's body swelled, and in the blink of an eye he transformed into a deer-headed human figure over three meters tall, covered in black hair, with green talisman light strips flying around in circles.

In order to prevent the Faceless Sword Sect from meeting and killing him, he immediately turned on his protection to full capacity.

After he was sure that Li Chengyi had not taken action, he breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, concentrated, and stared at the opposite side.

"Be careful"

"Please." Li Chengyi gently pulled out the Dingyuan Sword and pointed downwards.

Uh-huh!

In an instant, there was a flash of green light, and Yuan Qiren had already crossed the distance of the ring, and instantly thrust his claws towards Li Chengyi's chest.

laugh!

The blow missed.

Li Chengyi turned slightly to dodge this move.

Even if he only has a few yuan seals with increased speed, the gap between the two sides is really too big.

So big that even with his shortcomings, he can easily deal with the opponent.

laugh!

laugh!

laugh! !

Immediately after the green light flashed continuously, Yuan Qi continued to accelerate, grabbing madly at Li Chengyi again and again.

But it's meaningless. His sharp claws are obviously a little bit closer every time, but it's just that little bit, but it's like a chasm.

On the ring, streaks of green light kept flying around Li Chengyi, but no matter how hard he tried or how he used his tricks, he would only pass by Li Chengyi.

Without any extra movement, Li Chengyi just tilted his head, turned sideways, and gave in. Such simple actions perfectly avoided Yuan Qi's full-speed attack.

Such a huge gap, not to mention the elders and deacons watching the battle, even Bai He and Zhaoyuan, and even the other weaker direct disciples, could clearly see the huge gap between the two.

"As expected of the nephew of Bailu, who is known as Xiao Qingkong, his strength is truly extraordinary." Elder Tu looked at Li Chengyi with an inexplicable luster in his eyes.

"No, Junior Brother Bailu is Junior Brother Bailu. I am me. Our future paths are different." Huo Qingkong smiled.

"Maybe, but it's really the same as you were back then. With such strength, even we can't see through the depth." Elder Tu replied.

Huo Qingkong smiled and focused his eyes on Li Chengyi. On the surface, he seemed to be admiring his junior brother's duel with others, but in fact, he frowned slightly and seemed to find something in Li Chengyi.

"This boy named Bai Lu seems to be a bit unusual." The Demon Emperor's voice rang in his ears again.

'That's not your concern. ’ Huo Qingkong responded in her heart.

"In the entire sect, there are only two elders and you, the leader, who cannot be seen through by me, but now, a mere teenager can actually do this." The Demon Emperor clicked his tongue in surprise.

'Fortunately, after all, the number one person who can suppress everyone else will have some secrets of his own. ’ Huo Qingkong replied.

'But no matter what the secret, no matter what the talent, it can't compare with yours. ’ Demon Emperor said.

Huo Qingkong didn't reply because he thought so too.

Deep in his heart, a figure filled with black energy was floating cross-legged, quietly waiting for the opportunity to burst out with all his strength and break free from everything.

‘The magic formula you gave is indeed extremely powerful, and the tribulation energy can be easily suppressed. ’

'But you don't have much time. Hey Hey! ’ The Demon Emperor smiled and said, ‘The evil side that has gathered back is getting stronger and stronger now. If you just suppress it blindly, I’m afraid it won’t be long before you can’t suppress it and will be completely replaced by it. Therefore, the blending of good and evil is the only way for your future!

Once compatible, your power will reach its peak in an instant, surpassing the Nineteen Seals, igniting the true fire with a perfect state, surpassing your master, and becoming the strongest person in the Faceless Sword Sect!

At that time, no matter what calamity or calamity, they will be ants under your sword and can be lifted with a wave of your hand. ’

Huo Qingkong didn't reply and continued to return to reality to chat with Elder Tu about the details of the two schools' techniques.

On the ring, Li Chengyi had already dodged at least dozens of moves.

He also decided to end this boring competition.

"Be careful, I'm going to fight back."

Li Chengyi gently grasped the hilt of the sword and looked at the green figure flying in front of him.

No moves, no dodges.

Just draw your sword and swing it.

laugh! !

Silver light flashed.

Yuan Qi passed by from the side and fell heavily to the ground, squatting still.

Thin traces of blood emerged from his shoulders.

"I lost." He stood up a little disappointed.

Although he had already expected that he was likely to lose, the gap was so huge that it completely exceeded his imagination.

"Promise." Li Chengyi smiled and nodded.

"I haven't fought against Senior Brother Bailu for a long time. I'm going to give it a try today."

Suddenly, Zhaoyuan turned over and entered the room instantly.

This one of the Four Little Swords has gradually grown, and its strength is much stronger than three years ago.

The eyes looking at Li Chengyi were also full of fighting spirit.

"It doesn't matter. If you want to come, you can come on stage one by one and try it out." Li Chengyi looked gentle. Completely similar to Huo Qingkong back then.

As soon as he said these words, Zhaoyuan's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Because the implicit meaning of this sentence is that it only takes a short time to deal with her, and there is still a lot of time left to fight with other people.

"You're still so arrogant," Zhaoyuan gritted her teeth, "Compared to three years ago, I'm no longer the weak me I was back then!!"

She shouted low and jumped up.

Draw your sword.

Instant prison! !

A bolt of lightning-like green sword light burst out, slashing at the Dingyuan Sword in Li Chengyi's hand.

She wants to prove it!

Prove that you have worked hard day and night for the past three years and worked hard! !

It proves that she, Zhaoyuan, is also talented and qualified, and can stand next to her senior brother! !

If he can defeat Bai Lu in front of his senior brother, he will become the strongest of the Four Little Swordsmen.

He will definitely

Clang! !

The sound of Qingyue sword exploded from Zhaoyuan's ears.

At this moment, the sword light she swung was like a kite that was out of control. It was lifted up and flew out with a slight lift, shooting far into the sky and disappearing.

On the ring, the blade of a long sword was hovering quietly at Zhaoyuan's throat.

It was the Dingyuan Sword in Li Chengyi's hand.

"I accept, junior sister." Li Chengyi smiled and sheathed his sword.

Another sword!

At this time, everyone below already felt something was wrong.

Both of them were killed with just one sword in a row. If Yuan Qi was a master of the Time Sect before, the specific level of strength is not very clear to everyone.

Then Zhaoyuan later became the Four Little Swordsmen who often took action in front of everyone.

Many people know her strength. Except for the rest of the Four Little Swordsmen, no one of her direct disciples is her opponent.

But it is such a master who has condensed Yuanyin, unexpectedly...

Standing on the stage, Zhaoyuan's pretty face turned blue and white. She sheathed her sword and silently turned around to step off the stage. She said nothing and her eyes were red. It was obvious that the blow was a bit severe.

"I'll give it a try!!" At this time, there will always be a flower protector.

A tall man in black deacon clothes came onto the stage holding a sword and looked at Li Chengyi intently.

"Fengyun, Junior Brother Bailu, please."

"Please." Li Chengyi raised his sword again and turned to face the opponent.

"Be careful, I have broken through the Sixth Heavy Sword Technique, and my attacks are far beyond what the previous two can do." Feng Yun said seriously.

After a few seconds.

A sword light flashed.

Feng Yun covered her wrists and stumbled off the stage with a blushing face.

Another sword strike.

Even the deacon was defeated!

There was another commotion below.

Then another person came on stage.

It's still a sword.

A sword.

A sword.

A sword.

People who came to the stage one after another to challenge Li Chengyi were defeated with just one sword blow.

After fifteen battles, Li Chengyi still didn't even use a single sword move. Standing on the ring, he looked like an undefeated stone peak, becoming more and more towering.

The expressions of the disciples who were just watching the excitement changed one after another.

Those who came on stage next were almost all deacon-level masters.

There is even a superior deacon who has mastered the foundation-building technique of Faceless Sword Jue to a perfect level.

But such a strong man is still just a sword.

That is a master who has condensed the four seals! !

After finally defeating one person, Li Chengyi felt that he was almost done. He didn't expect Zhaoyuan to cause so much trouble, but it was not bad to take advantage of the situation and establish his power.

He also plans to step down.

"I haven't played against my junior brother for a long time, why don't I come and join forces."

A clear male voice sounded not far away.

Li Chengyi paused in his heart and looked up to follow the sound.

It's actually Huo Qingkong!
