The Villain's Counterattack

Jian Chen now has half a master and half a junior brother.

After witnessing the way Wuyazi (Duanlang) taught his disciples, and seeing this kid competing with his own disciple Jian Chen in swordplay for half a month, and how he gradually went from being unable to resist to being evenly matched, Wuming was simply shocked by Wuyazi's experienced methods.

However, the premise of this competition result is that Jian Chen suppresses his strength to the peak of the Grandmaster. If he attacks Duan Lang (his substitute) with the strength of the Broken Realm, this kid may not be able to withstand ten moves.

His sword skills were originally inferior, and if he was suppressed by the opponent's overwhelming force, he would probably lose miserably.

However, having an opponent to compete with is also of great benefit to Jian Chen. What's more, Duan Lang (the stand-in) has traveled around the world with Wuyazi (Duan Lang) and has seen many sword techniques. Now he can use them to integrate and improve himself, which has greatly broadened Jian Chen's horizons and experience in fighting against enemies.

The same sword technique will produce different effects when performed by different people.

Most of the sword techniques that Duan Lang (the stand-in) had learned from outsiders in the past six months were of low level and of varying levels. However, if Wuyazi (Duan Lang) performed them, Jian Chen would not be able to catch them if he did not put them down suddenly. However, when the original owners of these sword techniques performed them, they were not enough in front of Jian Chen. Instead, it was Duan Lang (the stand-in) who used them and Jian Chen gained a lot.

The two of them can be said to have achieved mutual success. It is also because of this that Jian Chen regards Duan Lang (the stand-in) as his fellow apprentice. After all, Wuyazi (Duan Lang) would occasionally give him advice, and his master Wuming would also occasionally give Duan Lang (the stand-in) advice.

The martial arts legend Wuming took one day to get started with the qin and flute, three days to master them, and half a month later he was able to play the "Swordsman" with Wuyazi (Duanlang) on ​​the qin and flute.

After that, the two would occasionally compete with each other in vocal music. Wuming never saw Wuyazi (Duanlang) actively practicing, but he felt that he was practicing whether he was walking, sitting or lying down, and even when he was working, he was practicing, and he was practicing with great concentration.

Wuming, as the protagonist of the previous generation, had a tragic fate and extraordinary talents, but the types of things he actually learned were not very many. He spent most of his time suffering and being tempered, and he did not have much time for self-improvement. After retiring from the world, he gradually became decadent because of the death of his wife.

He was living in seclusion, cultivating his mind and character, but he was definitely not expanding himself. He was delving deeper rather than expanding. Now that he had met the second-generation leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, he had seen what was profound and extensive, and he was unconsciously led by the pace.

You like music, so would you like to study musical instrument making?

If you want to make a good musical instrument, your craftsmanship can’t be too bad, right?

Now that you have learned carpentry and blacksmithing, do you need to study the materials?

It's not right to eat and live for free every day without doing any work, right?

Planting, gathering, cooking, tea ceremony, construction, Wuming's life is very fulfilling every day. Knowing is one thing, and experiencing it personally is another. There are many details in any field, and every discovery can bring new insights to Wuming.

Wuming suddenly discovered that after integrating this method into his life, his state of mind had undergone tremendous changes, or rather, a significant transformation. If it were not for the fact that the Taoist Wuyazi would pull him over to practice with him every ten days or half a month, and specifically improve a sword technique, and occasionally give guidance to his two young disciples on sword techniques, he would not even want to think about martial arts.

But the more he did this, the more he found that his martial arts progress was accelerating. In the past year, he had gained more than in the previous five years, and much more.

Duan Lang has been making a scabbard. Under the guidance of Taoist Wuyazi, Jian Chen has learned bamboo carving. He uses a long sword instead of a carving knife. According to Taoist Wuyazi, the sword is a tool and people are the foundation. As long as the realm is high enough, the tool can be omnipotent.

Wuyazi (Duanlang) and Wuming know that all grass, trees, bamboo and stones can be turned into swords. Even if they don't have a sword in their hands, they can make a sword out of it with a snap of their fingers. Sword energy and sword intent are everywhere. The swordless realm is just ordinary, and what he has learned from Wuming has gradually decreased, even to negligible.

One year was enough time for him to find out everything about Wuming.

Sitting on a bamboo chair in the shade of a tree under the bamboo building, Wuming squinted his eyes and breathed lightly, with a leisurely expression on his face. Beside him, there was a pot and two cups of steaming tea on the bamboo table, and the faint fragrance of tea spread with the curling hot steam.

"Master, the Taoist priest has left." Jian Chen walked slowly over and stood respectfully beside him, with a hint of reluctance in his tone.

During this year of living together, he had been tormented by the Taoist Wuyazi more than once, and had been teased by Duanlang (his stand-in) so many times that he couldn't even count them with his hands and feet, but he still felt reluctant to see them both leave.

Ever since Duan Lang (his substitute) successfully forged a scabbard suitable for the Huo Lin Sword a month ago and was given the Huo Lin Sword, Jian Chen could no longer suppress this kid in swordsmanship.

This hurt Jian Chen a lot, but it also aroused his competitive spirit!

No matter what he wanted to learn, as long as the old Taoist priest had it, he would not be stingy with it, unless he didn't ask for it. This month, Jian Chen had a hard time, but he was also very happy. His strength improvement was even comparable to that of the past year.

But suddenly, they left, leaving Jian Chen feeling empty inside.

There are two bamboo buildings in the exquisite courtyard. One was built by the old Taoist priest himself, which is beautiful, natural and comfortable. The other is the result of cooperation between himself and Duan Lang (a stand-in). At first, it was just a dangerous building, leaking wind and rain and was uncomfortable. After more than half a year of repairs and continuous improvements, it finally became a fairly decent finished product. I added many bamboo carvings and bamboo carvings to make it more beautiful.

This is the result of myself and Duan Lang (my stand-in), and it is also their habitat. Well, it is mainly where Duan Lang (my stand-in) lives, and I come here occasionally to experience the wild fun.

Upon hearing this, Wuming slowly opened his eyes and slowly withdrew his gaze from the distance, only to see that his young disciple Jian Chen was actually holding a small booklet in his hand, with four big words clearly visible on it: Xiao Wuxiang Gong.

I have been close friends with that old Taoist for a year, so I naturally know about the existence of this martial arts. It can keep one's face young and imitate martial arts that can promote the world. Although it is only one-third of the unique skills derived from "Xiao Yao Yu Feng", it is definitely not ordinary.

The supreme martial art of Xiaoyao Sect, "Xiaoyao Yufeng", can only be passed on to the sect leader. Of the three unique skills below it, "Beiming Shengong" requires giving up one's own martial arts, which is naturally not suitable for him. "Tian Chang Di Jiu Changchun Bu Lao Gong" is also quite limited. Only "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" seems mediocre and does not have too many requirements, but it is also profound in artistic conception and extraordinary in effect.

Ageless beauty is only one aspect. Not only can one simulate and promote martial arts in the world, but one can also be immune to all poisons. Although it is not as abnormal as being immune to all poisons, ordinary poisons are unlikely to be effective on masters who have mastered the "Xiao Wuxiang Gong". Even the most poisonous ones can be relieved a little.

"Why bother?" How could he not know what the Taoist Wuyazi was thinking? The Taoist had once invited him to join the Xiaoyao Sect as an elder. Although it seemed like a joke, it was sincere.

However, he had already retired from the world, so he did not agree. Even though the Xiaoyao Sect had few members and was secluded, he was still unwilling to do so. This was his original intention that could not be broken, so he refused.

He also believed that the old Taoist just mentioned it casually and had never thought that he would agree to it. They all had this tacit understanding.

I have learned so many skills from the Xiaoyao Sect, and what I have shared is just my understanding of the sword. It is nothing, but it is definitely not a shame to the Taoist Wuyazi.

"He's the head of the Xiaoyao Sect, like a flowing cloud or the wind, unstoppable." Wuming said leisurely, "Shenzhou is vast, and fate is unpredictable. As long as a person is still here, we will meet again one day. And..."

Wuming stopped talking. He knew that Wuyazi (Duanlang) was a hermit master who was as free as a cloud, but his little disciple Duanlang (the substitute) was a well-connected person with a solid foundation and also had a desire for fame and fortune.

Now that he has broken through to the Broken Realm, although he is not as good as his own little disciple, he has enough capital to become famous in the world. This may be the fundamental reason why they left at this time.

Wuyazi (Duanlang): You think too much. This guy has no say in the matter. The reason I left is simply because your value has been squeezed out and there is not much point in staying.

Wuming: I am the legend of the martial arts world, Tianjian Wuming. I have worked hard for decades, and you have taken it all in one year?

Wuyazi (Duanlang): Is this difficult?

Wuming: ..., I want to curse!

Wuyazi (Duanlang): We must be harmonious, otherwise if your account is blocked, don’t blame me for not telling you in advance.
