Martial Cultivator

As Chen Chao stabbed the middle-aged Taoist nun's body with one knife after another, the life of this middle-aged Taoist nun, who was well-known in the outside world, began to disappear rapidly, but even in the end, she was still looking at Chen Chao. A look of disbelief.

Chen Chao thought for a while and suddenly said, "After you die, the sect behind you will definitely avenge you, but don't worry, I will always live, and then completely destroy the sect behind you, just like Same as Chongming Sect.”

After saying this, Chen Chao withdrew the knife and wiped it on the middle-aged Taoist nun's robe. The middle-aged Taoist nun then exhaled her last breath and fell down, hitting the ground heavily.

After dealing with the middle-aged Taoist nun, Chen Chao turned his head and glanced over there.

After the middle-aged Taoist nun completely cut off his breath, the stone man froze first, and then the gathered rubble fell to the ground. The flying swords also flew back to Xie Nandu at this moment, hovering quietly.

Xie Nandu stood up slowly. After putting away the flying swords, he spit out another mouthful of blood, and his face looked better now.

Chen Chao walked over and asked concernedly, "Are you okay?"

Xie Nandu rolled his eyes, "Do you think I'll be fine?"

No matter how talented Xie Nandu is, after all, he is two different realms from that middle-aged Taoist nun. He has already taken out everything from the bottom of the box just by persisting for a quarter of an hour. If he can escape unscathed, it is really a fantasy. .

Chen Chao scratched his head in embarrassment and was about to speak when Xie Nandu took the initiative and said, "I didn't say anything before. You owe me again."

Chen Chao hummed and said somewhat depressedly, "How many times have I owed you this?"

Xie Nandu stared at him and asked, "How about paying it off at once?"

Chen Chao frowned and said, "Don't you want me to die?"

Xie Nandu snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to this guy. Instead, he looked around. The battle between the two had destroyed most of the maple trees on this mountain. When autumn comes, although there are still red maples on this mountain, There are beautiful scenery to see, but everyone knows that it will definitely not be like last year.

"Run away quickly. If anyone knows that you are the culprit, just wait for them to block the door of your house and curse."

Xie Nandu took a step forward weakly, his body went limp, and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he quickly held on to a maple tree that survived, and he did not fall down.

Chen Chao was still thinking about himself and said, "I'm hiding in your small courtyard anyway. I guess they don't dare to block your door and curse. After all, you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. Isn't the dean's face worthless?" Yet?"

After saying this, Chen Chao discovered that Xie Nandu was weakly leaning against the maple tree, looking at him with a speechless expression.

"Can't you walk?" Chen Chao asked tentatively. He just took a few steps forward and grimaced in pain when he touched his wound.

Xie Nandu frowned and said, "You're not much better."

Chen Chao smiled. After the white mist circulated in his body for a week, he felt more relaxed. After walking over, he took the initiative and asked, "How about I carry you?"

Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao strangely.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm an honest person."

Chen Chao looked serious.

Xie Nandu thought for a while and said, "Come here."

Chen Chao walked over honestly.

"Turn around."

Chen Chao said oh and turned around again, his back facing Xie Nandu.

"Squat down."

Xie Nandu's voice was a little helpless.

Chen Chao squatted down obediently.

Then there was something cold on the back of the neck. Xie Nandu's two arms came up, and then Xie Nandu's whole body was pressed against Chen Chao's back. Feeling the warmth behind his back, Chen Chao's whole body suddenly stiffened. , barely stood up.

Then after standing up, I didn’t know how to put my hands again.

"Um?"

Xie Nandu leaned behind Chen Chao and smelled the faint smell of blood and sweat emanating from his body. These two smells were intertwined to form a very special smell. It was not a good smell, but for some reason, Xie Nandu just Not too annoying, even

I still think it smells good.

What a strange thing.

Chen Chao carefully put his hands on both sides to support Xie Nandu's thighs. Then he exhaled, regained his composure, glanced at the middle-aged Taoist nun's body, changed the subject and asked, "Should we find a place to bury her?" ?”

Xie Nandu's voice sounded behind his head. It was not loud, but Chen Chao could even feel the breath between her mouth and nose. It was a little itchy, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

"Do you still have the strength now?"

Xie Nandu's voice was still very low. Chen Chao couldn't see Xie Nandu's face at this moment, otherwise he could clearly see that this talented girl from the Xie family actually had slightly red cheeks at this time, which was very nice.

Chen Chao shook his head, "Forget it, let this old woman expose her body in the wilderness. Damn it, I don't mean well."

Xie Nandu said at the right time, "Aren't you a good person?"

Chen Chao explained seriously, "There is a difference between good people and bad people."

Xie Nandu said oh and stopped talking.

After going down the mountain, neither of them had the energy to speak. Xie Nandu used his nine flying swords to resist the middle-aged Taoist nun, and he had already been seriously injured. After returning to the academy, he didn't know how long he would have to recover from his injuries. It can be said that this time for Chen Chao, this talented girl from the academy has already sacrificed too much. This is a fatal thing and it is not something that can be solved easily.

Chen Chao's injuries were actually much lighter. His body was tough and his level was higher than Xie Nandu's. Although he faced the middle-aged Taoist nun head-on, it was not as difficult as Xie Nandu's.

After going down the mountain, it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the city gate. The guards at the city gate were all Yamen servants of Zuowei. When they saw Chen Chao, they naturally did not stop him. They half respected and half respected the deputy commander of Zuowei. Fear, after all, when Chen Chao seized the official seal before, he went on a killing spree.

However, they still took a few more glances at Xie Nandu behind Chen Chao. They were not stupid either. They could quickly guess that the woman being carried by Chen Chao was none other than the talented Xie family from the academy.

But they didn't dare to ask how the two of them could show off like this.

Walking in the capital of the gods, Chen Chao quickly attracted countless eyes, but it was obvious that the eyes of these people were not on Chen Chao, but on Xie Nandu on his back. This talented girl from the academy was extremely beautiful, so naturally she would Attracted many people's attention.

However, even those who wanted to step forward did not have the courage to see the knife hanging on Chen Chao's waist.

There are dignitaries everywhere in the city of God. How could it be possible that such a woman could be an ordinary person walking with them?

Maybe if you provoke him today, a group of people will come to your door tomorrow.

So this journey is still smooth.

It was only when he was approaching Nanhu that Chen Chao finally said, "When we get to the academy later, I guess many people's hearts will be broken."

Xie Nandu remained silent. In fact, after entering the city, she could have found a carriage to go to the academy. However, Chen Chao didn't mention it, so she didn't say anything.

She leaned on Chen Chao's back, feeling Chen Chao's body temperature and felt a little relieved.

She had rarely felt this way before, not even since she came to the divine capital.

So she didn't say anything.

After entering the academy, as expected, there were a bunch of students who stopped when they saw Chen Chao and Xie Nandu.

A bunch of people looked here with ugly expressions.

Some students who had never seen Chen Chao and Xie Nandu were still a little confused, but soon some classmates who knew the truth whispered, "It's the close disciple of that young martial artist and the dean, Xie Nandu!"

Hearing these words, the crowd soon erupted in low cheers. Needless to say, Chen Chao had the previous scolding battle at the South Lake, the leader of the Wanliu Hui martial arts test, and later became the deputy commander of Zuowei. Even in a period of At that time, he was still the commander of Zuowei. During the ghost hunt at the end of last winter, he was even more infamous. Now he is bestowed upon him by His Majesty the Emperor.

With the right to wield a sword, he is a real figure in the city of God. As for Xie Nandu, this is especially true. Just the fact that she was the dean's closed disciple is enough to be remembered by everyone. After that, he was the leader of Wanliu Huiwen Examination, and now he is The identity of the sword cultivator is known to everyone. It can be said that among the younger generation of Daliang Dynasty today, no male can compare to Chen Dynasty, and no female can even match one-tenth of Xie Nandu.

Now that the two of them appear in the public eye like this, it is self-evident what this means.

"Have these two people established a relationship?"

Some academy students whispered in disbelief. Apart from jealousy, there was only envy.

After all, the talented daughter of the Xie family has always been the most admired object in the hearts of this generation of students in the academy. Whether it is her family background or herself, there is nothing to criticize.

Xie Nandu doesn't know how many people think of a fairy.

That is to say, the so-called fairies in the outside world of cultivation did not include the monks from the Liang Dynasty, otherwise Xie Nandu would be among them.

Walking slowly along the lakeside, Chen Chao whispered, "If looks could kill, I would have died countless times."

Xie Nandu said softly, "It doesn't matter, you are thick-skinned."

Chen Chao was a little speechless, but when he raised his head, he felt even more painful. Before he could reach the small courtyard, more and more students were walking by the lake. I guess he was passed around by those students when he entered the academy. , now the entire academy knows about it.

Chen Chao was a little hairy when being stared at by these people.

It's just that he's seriously injured at the moment, and it's impossible to walk faster.

…

…

Outside the crowd, in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, the dean took a handful of fish food and gently threw it into the lake. Then he glanced at this side and then said dissatisfiedly, "This kid has so many evil thoughts. What is your junior sister doing?" What do you like about him?"

The scholar standing aside smiled and said, "The Chen Dynasty is not without its merits. There are few young people in the entire Liang Dynasty who can compare with it."

The dean frowned and said, "Then I don't like him either."

Listening to his husband's childish words, Wei Xu just smiled and said, "Fathers in the world will probably think that all young people who are interested in their daughters are heinous. Teachers probably think the same way now?"

The dean remained silent. He did not have a Taoist partner. Although he had a relationship when he was young, in the end due to various reasons, he was still unable to become a Taoist partner with a certain woman. Naturally, it was impossible to have an heir. Without an heir, , he treats his students as children.

As his only female disciple, Xie Nandu naturally had different ideas.

The dean said softly, "This girl from Nandu will definitely have great achievements in the future. Maybe she will be the most amazing woman in the history of the Liang Dynasty... no, she will be the most amazing woman in this thousand years!"

The dean's words were the highest praise for Xie Nandu.

I'm afraid that no amount of praise for Xie Nandu in the world can compare to the words of the current dean.

Wei Xu was startled, and he did not expect that his teacher would speak so highly of his junior sister.

He looked into the distance with complicated eyes and said nothing.

The dean said, "Your dispute seems to be about me, but in fact it is about you. But no matter what, I hope that your hands will not be stained with the blood of the same sect. What is this called?"

He didn't look at Wei Xu, so he naturally didn't need Wei Xu to answer, so Wei Xu didn't speak and just nodded silently.

The dean didn't see it.

"I'm back. This kid is hated by so many people. He probably won't live long."

The dean said this again and threw all the fish food in his hand into the lake.

Wei Xu said softly, "If that boy doesn't live long, my junior sister won't be happy even if I think about it."

The dean opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a loud shout in the distance, "Change the list!"

In the academy, someone is running towards this side holding the list.

The dean stood there, a little confused.

\u003eBut Wei Xu quickly reacted and said softly, "It should be the time for Fangwai's Qianlong Ranking to be changed. It's about time."

The dean frowned and said, "If the rankings are changed, the rankings will be changed. Why are you calling me a nickname?!"

Historically, the Qianlong List only included young geniuses from outside the country, and had no regard for the monks from the Liang Dynasty. Therefore, the Liang Dynasty had no idea about it, let alone any expectations. As for the academies, although they were included, the academies were not included. In recent years, there have been no young talents who are outstanding enough to be included in the list. However, this is indeed the reason why the dean did it deliberately. Otherwise, Wei Xu or Liu Banbi before him would have to be on the Qianlong List no matter what. of.

After all, these two can be considered true geniuses.

Thinking of this, the dean suddenly said, "Is your junior sister on the list?"

Unlike senior brothers like Wei Xu and Liu Banbi, Xie Nandu has never concealed the fact that he is a genius, and it is natural for him to be on the list now.

Wei Xu thought for a while and said softly, "Although my junior sister has outstanding talent, I'm afraid her training time is still short and her ranking will not be too high."

The dean sneered, "Even if her level is sufficient, I'm afraid those sanctimonious guys outside Fang won't rank her much higher."

While he was talking to Wei Xu, the man holding the list had already arrived at the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Wei Xu walked a few steps, took the list, and said with a smile, "It's troublesome."

The man naturally knew Wei Xu and immediately said, "Mr. Wei, what did you say?"

But after Wei Xu took over the list, a group of students from the academy came to the lakeside and looked at the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. When they saw the scholar under the pavilion, they all became excited.

"It's Mr. Wei!"

Shendu has the most famous scholar in the world. That scholar is in the academy and is also under the Pavilion in the middle of the lake at this moment.

Since that is Mr. Wei, then who is the one whose face can’t be seen clearly inside?

An answer soon emerged.

The eyes of countless people were blazing, and when they looked at the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, they were full of respect.

Not long after, someone shouted, "I've seen the dean!"

Then there was a series of sounds, one after another.

They have only respect and respect for the dean of the academy.

Waiting for the sound to subside, Wei Xu slowly opened the list under the gaze of countless people, feeling a little lost.

After a moment, he came back to his senses, looked at the students by the lake, and said softly, "This time the Qianlong Ranking is changing, there is someone from my academy on the list."

The students immediately widened their eyes. After how many years, has someone from the academy finally made it onto the Hidden Dragon List again?

That name, I think many people already have the answer in their minds.

Wei Xu did not show off, saying loudly, "Tenth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, thanks to the Academy for Nandu!"

tenth? !

There were constant exclamations by the lakeside. Everyone could have thought that Xie Nandu would be on the list this time, but absolutely no one could have imagined that Xie Nandu would be in the top ten as soon as he was on the list. Although he was only tenth, you must know that Xie Nandu is younger than these people in the world. For geniuses, the training time is much shorter.

Being ranked tenth already explains a lot.

The dean was dissatisfied and said, "Only tenth."

Wei Xu did not explain, but just looked at the students in the academy and said, "You guys, take this as an example, study hard, and win glory for me, Daliang!"

The students responded with a roar, their voices as loud as thunder.

But after saying this, Wei Xu did not put the list away, but looked at the students by the lake and said, "This time the Qianlong List is changed. Only one person from my academy is on the list, but I have more than one leader."

This time, it can be regarded as an explosion among the students, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

What Wei Xu said next was like dropping a huge stone into the South Lake.

There were countless splashes of water.

"Third on the Hidden Dragon List, Daliang Chen Chao!"
