Chapter 454: Legend of Martial Arts (asking for monthly ticket)

Breakthrough? !

The whale fisherman looked at Li Guanyi, his thoughts slightly stagnant.

Eighteen years old? A martial arts legend?

Sensing carefully, the legendary martial arts aura emanating from this kid is moderate and peaceful, yet vast. It is completely different from the fiery and ruthless aura of the Wolf King Chen Fubi.

Without having to pry open the Wolf King Chen Fubi's vitality, he could also show the legendary spirit of martial arts? This kid...

The whale fisherman's mouth twitched, and he suddenly understood the way those martial arts elders looked at him when he was wandering around the world. That expression was as if his own worldview was crushed.

In the past, I thought that they were all jealous of me. They were the incompetent looks of the older generation, the losers who were eliminated by me. I was dismissive of such emotions, even contemptuous of them.

Now that the boomerang had hit him, he finally understood what it felt like and began to feel extremely unhappy.

It is possible that I, the youngest martial arts legend, will soon become the former youngest martial arts legend.

Unhappy, extremely unhappy.

He couldn't hit him, not even a little bit too hard. The whale fisherman didn't want to hold back his emotions and get himself into trouble, so he pondered for a long time and decided to just pat the guy on the shoulder to let him feel the direct attack that was unique to the older generation of people in the underworld.

Just imagine that the white-haired man's unhappy look fell on Li Guanyi.

Looking up and down for the right angle.

The whale fisherman suddenly felt a quiet gaze falling on him.

Um?!.!
The whale fisherman paused, turned his head slowly, and saw the silver-haired girl at the stall over there. The silver-haired girl was holding snacks in both hands, with no expression on her face, and was looking at this side quietly.

stare…………

The silver-haired whale fisherman's mouth twitched.

The old father had raised his hand to hit Li Guanyi's shoulder, but his hand froze. He didn't change his expression and just gently put it on Li Guanyi's shoulder. He seemed to say sincerely: "Well done!"

The silver-haired girl brought the snack to her lips.

Chew chew chew.

Nod slightly.

Whale Fisherman: “…………”

The old father gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Murong Longtu was extremely gentle, and looked at Li Guanyi with a calm expectation. Li Guanyi pondered for a long time, and felt the specific changes in the Jiuzhou Ding in his body, and replied: "Breakthrough."

The whale fisherman's heart skipped a beat.

He felt that his old father's dignity was about to be lost.

Li Guanyi added: "But I haven't reached the level of martial arts legend yet. I just... have a slight sense of the road ahead. If I didn't know where to go before, now I have a more specific idea."

"I think I have figured out a lot of things."

“I also know what I should do.”

Knowing the direction of the road ahead and seeing the obstacles clearly, there is no greater gain for a traveler than this.

The charm of the Jiuzhou Ding divides into two possibilities.

One is to gather all parties, unify the world, gather the luck of millions of people, and attribute it to oneself. It is a manifestation of the power of the Nine Provinces. The other is the prosperity of humanity, which is a more difficult path.

Li Guanyi had a vague feeling that perhaps, the road to unifying the world was just the infinitely majestic peak of the Nine Heavens. Since ancient times, there had been many kings, princes, generals, heroes, overlords, and heroes. In this troubled world, was there any generation missing?
There are countless people like Chen Dingye in the history books, and there are definitely people with heroic spirit that is not inferior to Jiang Wanxiang. The Red Emperor fought with the Overlord for the world, unified the Central Plains, and gained 800 years of national prosperity, but also stopped at the Ninth Heaven.

Emperors, generals and ministers are just passing clouds.

On the top of these mountains, above the mountains and rivers, take half a step forward.

It's the legend!

Murong Longtu was not surprised, but just mildly delighted, clapping his hands and laughing: "Hahaha, good, good, the road to martial arts legend can only be realized by oneself, and only after taking this step can one have something of one's own."

"No matter how much we tell you, no matter how detailed we tell you, we are just describing our own feelings. After all, they are ours, not yours."

“There is a layer between us, which may seem thin as fog, but is in fact a world of difference, and it is difficult to cross.”

“You can realize this.”

"Very wonderful, very wonderful!"

Li Guanyi clenched his fist slightly, and the sword maniac Murong Longtu laughed a few times, and then seemed to be careless, he originally had a wooden barrel in his hand to put his catch, but at this time he was laughing happily.

My hand accidentally loosened.

The wooden barrel containing the catch hit the whale fisherman's wooden barrel with just one strike. The timing and the flow of energy were so perfect that the whale fisherman was shocked by Li Guanyi's breakthrough and was unable to react for a while.

By the time they reacted, it was too late; the two barrels had fallen over.

The water inside naturally poured out and fell all over the ground.

Even the fish caught were mixed together, making it impossible to tell which fish belonged to whom.

Sword Maniac Murong Longtu remained calm, stroking his beard and smiling:
"Ah, I'm old, old."

"I was so happy to hear that you, Guanyi, had made a breakthrough that I couldn't even hold my barrel anymore. My fish got mixed up with Zhenkui's fish and I couldn't tell which was more."

The whale fisherman was stunned, then flew into a rage: "You did this on purpose, old man!!!"

"This time we have agreed that we will not use martial arts or move our souls."

"I obviously won this time!"

The whale fisherman almost wanted to grab the collar of the old swordsman with his fist.

If I can't beat him!
Sword Maniac Murong Longtu said, "Huh? You caught more fish than I did?"

"Who knows? Who saw it?"

"It's clear that I won!"

The leader of the formation, the whale fisherman: "You!!!"

The silver-haired man's face turned visibly red.

Sometimes, not only a woman's blush is worth a thousand words.

This is especially true for men’s redness.

Veins on the whale fisherman's forehead were throbbing, but there was nothing he could do about this old man who was cheating on his fishing. The sword maniac in the rumors of the martial arts world was naturally arrogant, but now this free and easy old man was fishing, playing chess, and listening to people chatting.

He is completely different from the sword maniac who is doomed to be a lone star in the martial arts world and causes rivers of blood wherever he goes.

The silver-haired whale fisherman and the sword maniac began to accuse and pass the buck to each other.

But Li Guan looked at the fish on the ground. The largest one was only the length of his palm and the width of two fingers. It was lying in a small ditch on the ground in the East Market, spitting out small bubbles with its eyes rolled up, revealing a strange light.

Li Guanyi's mouth twitched.

Here, there are only a few big and small fish.

Is it necessary to fight?
He also realized that the reason why whale fishermen in the past never came back empty-handed was because when these guys fished, they directly laid down layers of formations on the fishing rods, which was equivalent to using the formation system to force each fish to be hung on the hook.

The sword maniac just waved his hand, and the hanging fishing line became like a sharp sword.

It can directly pierce the fish body.

In fact, there is no essential difference and distinction between this and the old man Siming stuffing the black tortoise Dharma image into the water and treating it as a real old turtle to bite the fish. The old man over there started arguing with the whale fisherman, and even planned to use formations and sword energy to restore the essence.

On the side of the road, an ordinary general named Xue passed by.

"What are you doing?"

General Xue was wearing a long robe, a bamboo hat, and a mask on his face.

He carried a bamboo pole on his shoulder and held a wooden bucket in his hand.

The wooden barrel was full of fish.

The splashes from the flapping of the tail were not very big.

Murong Longtu: “…………”

Whale Fisherman: “…………”

General Xue said proudly: "Ah, I haven't fished for a long time. Today I suddenly felt like fishing, so I went fishing a little. Who are you two..."

God Xue lowered his gaze and looked at the little fish struggling on the ground.

The corners of General Xue's mouth curled up slightly, and then he said:

"Oh?"

This "oh" carries three parts of contempt, three parts of sudden realization, and three parts of comfort, just like a color palette.

The tone fluctuated several times.

He seemed to say nothing.

It seems like everything has been said.

The anger of the sword maniac and the whale fisherman was once again focused on General Xue.

Even though he only said one word.

Li Guanyi's mouth twitched. He felt that if General Xue was willing to think of a way, he might be able to successfully reach the realm of martial arts legend by [provoking and angering other people's emotions].

In this regard, this senior is really too strong.

The three of them started arguing over who had the best fishing skills.

Old Siming, who was passing by, was pulled into the battlefield.

It became a dispute among the four people with the highest seniority in the Qilin Army to some extent.

At this time, Nangong Wumeng came over with the silver-haired girl, carrying some fruit. She was puzzled: "Why are you guys making a fuss here? Huh? What's wrong with the fish on the ground?"

She saw the fish on the ground and bent down to pick it up.

But perhaps the fish had been struggling for a long time, and finally used this force to fly up, and then fell into the river on the side of the East City Road. Nangong Wumeng screamed and grabbed the fish with his hand. The fish still had the hook in its mouth, and Nangong Wumeng grabbed the fishing line.

The fish fell into the river, but was caught by a bigger fish.

Nangong Wumeng tried to pull it, but it wouldn't move.

Then he pulled very hard.

Splash!!! The sound of the water breaking was really loud, causing the four people who were arguing to look back subconsciously. They saw the innocent-looking woman holding the fishing line with one hand, and she had pulled out a big fish.

It is half the size of a human, with golden scales and very long whiskers.

The fish is like a dragon and is pure gold in color.

The people around were stunned, and suddenly they gathered around. Amid the argument, everyone realized that Nangong Wumeng had brought out the Water Dragon King from the legend of the Eighteen Prefectures of Jiangnan.

Sounds of approval, admiration, and enthusiastic discussions gathered together.

The sword maniac, the formation leader, the divine general, and Sima Ming fell into silence.

"Ah, it seems that it doesn't matter who wins or loses."

"Yeah yeah."

"Indeed."

The atmosphere among the four older generations suddenly calmed down.

Nangong Wumeng, killed the game.

………………

The Water Dragon King and the big koi were still put into the river. They swung their tails in the water, spit out two bubbles, and then fled into the depths of the river and disappeared. Then everyone took the fish caught by General Xue back with them.

Some were cleaning the fish, some were cooking, but Li Guanyi showed off his current state, outlining the harmony with the Jiuzhou Ding. In this state, he was no longer able to passively use the power of the Jiuzhou Ding as he did in the past.

The Jiuzhou Ding finally resonated with him faintly.

You can truly mobilize the power of the Jiuzhou Ding to bless yourself.

This kind of legendary martial arts aura is completely different from that of the Wolf King. It carries a sense of vastness and grandeur, but because it is a [tool of the state], attacking and killing are not its strong points.

The whale fisherman arranges Li Guanyi to demonstrate his martial arts, and the sword maniac judges his level.

Old Sima Ming and Old Black Turtle were both dumbfounded.

Li Guanyi's overall abilities have been significantly improved compared to when he had just broken through the peak of the Ninth Heaven. The legendary path of martial arts that Li Guanyi has taken is different from the styles of the others - the blessing is extremely simple and plain.

Li Guanyi's strength, speed, stamina, endurance and other qualities improved proportionally.

This is a crude but very useful method.

Murong Longtu and the whale fisherman wondered if Li Guanyi had been "contaminated" by the ancient red dragon because he had gotten too close to it.

Old Siming grinned: "So, it is true."

The sword maniac nodded slightly.

Old Siming took a breath of cold air.

He has initially realized his own path, and this path leads directly to the legend of martial arts, and a hint of his own legendary spirit of martial arts has been born.

The legend of martial arts is that it is above the Ninth Heaven, completely surpassing the existence of the normal martial arts practice system and reaching the ultimate realm.

Since ancient times, human beings have learned from the universe and auspicious beasts to open up a path of spiritual practice. They have been walking this path for thousands of years. As long as they can step into the seventh heaven, use their own spirit to attract the vitality between heaven and earth, strengthen their own will and condense it, they can achieve the realm of Dharma.

Every move he made had incredible powers, enough to split mountains and seas, enough to compete with auspiciousness.

From then on, people in the martial arts world could be called the masters of a sect, who would establish their own schools and recruit many disciples, such as Ximen Hengrong of the Motian Sect.

A brave general on the battlefield can rank in the top 30 of the list of divine generals. He can wield his sword and march forward, leading thousands of troops, galloping on the battlefield, attacking cities and strongholds, and sweeping away enemy countries, such as many brave generals in the Taiping Army.

Make achievements in the present time and pass on your name to history.

Above the Grandmaster, one must practice and cultivate for a period of ten years or more, or as long as sixty years, and practice diligently, sharpening one's vital energy until it is pure and thick. Then one can step into the realm of the Ninth Heaven, master everything, and be so high in martial arts that one can be famous in the contemporary world. One can be called a Grandmaster.
Even a top warrior like Yue Qianfeng may not dare to say that he will be able to reach the ninth heaven in his lifetime.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless talented and brave generals, martial arts masters, and battlefield heroes.

Some attain enlightenment among mountains and rivers, while others risk their lives on the battlefield, and they persevere as they go along. Over the years, there have been countless talented people, but only a few have reached the realm of martial arts legends.

Most of them have gone through a lifetime of hard work and have extremely strong obsessions to have that one chance to break through the barriers and achieve the reputation of martial arts legends. The youngest whale fisherman in the past did not reach this realm until he was thirty years old.

The way of formation is still the one that requires the most talent and ability.

Li Guanyi chose the path of pure cultivation and military killing. When old Siming thought about the boy's age and skills, he felt a little buzzing in his head. But when he thought about his experiences and fighting over the years, it seemed normal.

After holding it in for a long while, the old Siming asked, "Can you beat Jiang Su?"

Li Guanyi, the Whale Fisherman, the Sword Maniac, and General Xue all shook their heads: "No."

Old Sima Ming felt regretful.

Li Guanyi clenched his fist, and the Nine Li Divine Weapons of Gold and Iron immediately changed and circulated. Li Guanyi said, "However, if I were to go back a few months ago, I wouldn't have to fight so hard when facing Jiang Su."

"At least, now I am qualified to face Jiang Su with several times or even ten times the number of troops. I can barely stand in front of him without risking my life."

To some extent, this is already extremely difficult.

Murong Longtu was relieved and said with a smile: "Take your time, take your time. At your age, you have such martial arts and realm, which is unique in the world. If you met Jiang Su at the same age, how could he be your opponent?"

Murong Qiu Shui's voice came, saying, "The food is ready."

Murong Longtu threw down the branch in his hand and said with a smile, "Let's go. Your aunt is urging you. If you don't go over now, she will nag you later. Really, she didn't nag you like this when I was a child."

Murong Qiushui said: "Grandpa, what did you say?!"

The old sword maniac remained calm and said, "I say, Guanyi, stop dragging your feet. Look, your aunt is urging you!"

Li Guan was stunned, the old swordsman laughed loudly, Murong Qiu Shui pretended to be angry but also laughed, the old Siming had already occupied a good seat, Nangong Wumeng came over, remained calm, sat down with an unjust but confident look.

The silver-haired girl cleared the dishes.

Today there were only a few simple dishes, nothing extravagant. Murong Longtu and the whale fisherman were just talking about Li Guanyi's martial arts. When they were excited, they laughed uncontrollably, drank a few glasses of wine, and just had a great time.

For the elderly, there are really no regrets in their lives nowadays.

Li Guanyi looked at the old man who laughed freely, and could laugh, scold, and do whatever he wanted. He felt that Murong Longtu finally didn't have to be bound by the title of Sword Maniac anymore, and he could do what he wanted.

The old man's breath is still strong and long.

But Li Guanyi knew that this was only because the old man had already stepped into the legend of martial arts. His energy and spirit were condensed to the extreme and as sharp as a sword. Before his vitality was gone and he died, the old man's condition would remain at its peak.

In the final battle, Murong Longtu left behind the energy of his sword, which exchanged for three years of life.

The final stop of Jianghu was in the autumn of the eleventh year of Tianqi.

And now, it is almost the fourteenth year of the Apocalypse.

This willful old man, who could be Murong Longtu instead of a sword maniac, has entered the final countdown of his life. With less than a year left, Li Guanyi drank a glass of wine with heavy eyes, thinking of the changes that had occurred before with the help of the combination of the three tripods of Jiuzhou Ding.

The soul traveled around and arrived at the extreme north, fought with the Great Khan of the Turks, and saw the auspicious beasts of the north. He discovered the insect that corresponded to the life-extending Gu and left a mark.

The gold and iron of the Jiuli divine weapons have been forged with the help of the divine power of humanity.

But I want to actually complete it.

It allows it to transform from the [prototype of divine weapon] to the [master of divine weapon].

At this moment, the prototype of the magic weapon can already weaken the attacks of a god general of Yuwen Lie's level. If it is cast one day, its power should be greatly enhanced. However, to cast this magic weapon, it is also necessary to go to a place with rich fire element in heaven and earth.

The Flaming Mountain has been used by Qilin.

At this moment, the only places in the world that meet the requirements are the [Five Great Lotus Pond Volcanoes] in the north.

"Saibei..."

Li Guanyi whispered in his heart, looking at his great-grandfather who was laughing calmly over there. Murong Longtu noticed Li Guanyi, smiled and nodded, then chatted with Zhen Kui and the others. Jian Kuang had been lonely all his life, but now that he was old, he had a few friends who were not restricted by his status.

Li Guan made up his mind immediately.

After that, I'll have to deal with the things at hand and probably go to the northern frontier.

You can start from the Western Regions.

Take the life-extending Gu, see auspicious signs, and forge a magic weapon.

However, these things are not simple.

Maybe I will even meet the Turkic Khan.

Li Guanyi was quiet, thinking of the Turkic Khan who did not hide his desires or his goals for the Central Plains. He recalled the brief and dangerous battle before - although he had killed Thirteen Khans that time.

However, in the confrontation with the Turkic Khan, he was at a disadvantage.

I was calm at that time because of the help of the ancient red dragon.

There won’t be this kind of help next time.

However, Li Guanyi had another breakthrough at this moment. He truly found the direction and the path. Relying on himself to master the aura of martial arts legends, the Jiuzhou Ding also underwent subtle changes. The Jiuli Divine Weapon of Gold and Iron was further tempered by the flow of human destiny during the casting of the tripod and the coronation of the king.

In a short period of time, Li Guanyi's strength has changed subtly.

But I don’t know who will win or lose if we meet the Turkic Khan again.

Li Guanyi wondered if he could be more stable.

It is best to practice more before heading to the Turkic steppes to stabilize your current state and realm. If possible, it would be best if you could make changes and breakthroughs in your own realm again.

Even Li Guanyi himself found it a little ridiculous.

"But how is that possible?"

………………

There were changes in the world. The nations stopped fighting and the people were recuperating. Among the many major events, the most crucial one was the ceremony of the King of Qin's enthronement. The King of Qin abolished the rituals, swore an oath with three arrows, sacrificed to heaven and earth and the people, and shocked all directions.

Countless people across the vast territory and millions of armored soldiers sang the Qin King's Breaking Formation Song together. The sound reached the sky, shaking the mountains and rivers, and there was a sense of invincibility in the world.

And at this moment, there is another key place in the world.

That is Xiyi City.

This city was developed by Jiang Wanxiang and Gao Xiang when they were young. It was an arm of the Central Plains extending into the Western Regions. The terrain of this city is extremely critical. To the north is the Turkic steppe, and to the west is the Western Regions occupied by the King of Qin.

To the south, it is close to the State of Chen, and to the east, it is close to the State of Ying.

It can be said that it is the most special place in terms of terrain nowadays. It is bordered by four directions, a key military location, and a battleground for nations to contend with. But at this moment, there are huge changes in the Duke's Mansion that are enough to affect the general situation of the world.

Duke Li sat high up at the top.

Li Zhaowen, wearing armor and a battle robe, stepped forward with his hands clasped and said:

"Please, father, abdicate!"
