I don't want to be a heroic spirit

The center of the formation is inside the mountain, so there must be an entrance or a cave. Otherwise, does it mean that others have to dig in themselves?

Fortunately, the designer did not cut corners here.

The entrance to the cave is quite obvious. Once you get here, the view suddenly becomes open, with no bushes or tall trees.

However, just like there is always a guardian before important things, it can be said to be a common routine in RPG games.

"Let's discuss letting us in... I guess that option isn't there?" Ghost One Law Eye muttered. "So, this old-fashioned game mode, where getting close enough attracts hostility and triggers combat, is just unpleasant. My suggestion is more storylines and a higher degree of freedom..."

Blocking the entrance to the cave was a figure very similar to the armored man that Gui Yi Fa Yan encountered last night.

However, there were many damages on the opponent's armor, probably because he had experienced countless battles and dangerous situations.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that the word "battle-hardened" is not a compliment but a fact.

Gui Yifayan's gaze gradually moved from the opponent's armor to his face.

As expected, there was only a cloud of black fog that was difficult to see clearly.

However, Gui Yi discovered that the other party did not have any red spots of light that seemed to serve as eyes.

Could it be that... this kind of being could actually close its eyes? Why? Did they need to sleep, too?

Seeing the other person sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, without a trace of breath leaking out of his body, it seemed as if he was really asleep.

If we don't disturb it, we can sneak around it and into the cave quietly...

No matter how you think about it, it won't work, right?

and so……

"We can only face it head-on."

It seemed like a helpless choice...but Gui Yifayan's expression showed that he was eager to try.

This time she didn't take out her most commonly used naginata, but a katana.

It was because she saw that the other party was also using a knife, which inexplicably made her feel a little hostile.

As if sensing the approach of Gui Yi Fa Yan, the armored man suddenly tensed up and slowly reached out to grasp the katana at his waist.

Compared to this "filth", Gui Yi Fa Yan seems relaxed and carefree.

However, if you look closely at Gui Yi Fa Yan's face, you will find that when the other party grasped the sword, Gui Yi Fa Yan's smile showed a bit more high-spirited fighting spirit.

Gui Yifayan stood in front of the opponent with a katana in his hand, and the armored man also stood up.

This character should be about 2.2 meters tall, right? Gui Yi Fa Yan is only 1.7 meters tall, a full half meter short.

It raised the sword high, and the shadow it cast just covered Guiyi Hōgen's face.

Then... he struck down with tremendous force!

"boom!"

The strong wind pushed the surrounding trees like waves, and the ground centered on Gui Yi Fa Yan sank downwards.

Gui Yifayan raised his sword horizontally above his head to block the attack, then tilted the sword slightly, rubbing against the opponent's blade and slashing at the opponent with sparks.

But the opponent reacted quickly. He held the sword with both hands and slightly tilted it to block Gui Yifayan's sword.

Seeing that the other party raised the sword again, Gui Yifa's eyes narrowed slightly.

Then, the sword turned into a storm, and anything that came near would be torn to pieces by the storm.

A leaf just fell down and was cut off by a sword light.

The armored man took a step forward and wanted to swing a sword, but when his foot was halfway taken, Gui Yi Fa Yan stepped on his knee, and then a sword light flew towards his neck.

"when!"

The swords collided with each other, and the surging power stirred the atmosphere.

As the battle progressed, Gui Yifayan's expression became more and more solemn.

“Absolutely perfect…”

Gui Yifayan, who was fighting with the opponent, was like a teacher who was grading papers and had to give him the standard answers.

Even from her perspective, there were no flaws in the opponent's rhythm, moves, and angles.

Perfect to an abnormal degree.

"Also, combat awareness..."

Faced with the sharp sword light, Gui Yi Fa Yan suddenly retreated three steps, and then his figure suddenly disappeared in front of the armored man. The next moment, he appeared behind the opponent as if teleporting, holding the sword in his hand backwards and stabbing it at the back of the armored man's neck.

However, when the sound of golden inscriptions echoed in his ears, Gui Yifayan knew that his move had failed.

The armored man didn't look back, as if he had eyes behind him. He blocked her dangerous sword with a somewhat strange sword-drawing posture.

"Is there no flaw even behind him? This guy..."

Gui Yifayan felt that there was something wrong with the opponent's sword moves.

When defending, it is like a massive mountain, and when attacking, it is like a continuous stream.

Gui Yi Fa Yan was still thinking when suddenly, the battle situation that was maintaining a balance tilted to one side.

As if she had seen something incredible, Gui Yifa's eyes widened. The next moment, a surging sword energy broke through her defense and knocked her away.

Chapter 131 Let Qianhua learn martial arts

His feet left two long traces on the ground, and Gui Yifayan raised his head with gritted teeth.

The next moment, she saw the armored man approaching her and swung the sword in his hand again, engaging in a fierce offensive and defensive battle with Gui Yifayan.

If the sword of the armored man at the beginning was like a massive mountain and continuous water, then the sword that just knocked Gui Yifa Yan away was a raging fire.

And now, what appeared before Gui Yi's eyes was a swift and violent wind.

This is what shocked Gui Yifayan.

This person in front of me... can actually use four sword techniques simultaneously and continuously?

No, just “using” is not enough to shock Gui Yi Fa Yan so much.

The most incredible thing is that the person in front of him can smoothly switch to a completely different style of sword moves during the battle.

It was because the switch was too fast and the difference in sword moves was too great that Gui Yifayan was caught off guard and was knocked away.

Gui Yifayan's question only resulted in an even more violent sword storm... This was normal, after all, the other party had no ability to communicate at all.

"……whispering sound!"

The sharp sword wind blew across his face. Gui Yifayan spat in dissatisfaction, then smiled coldly.

"Even if you get the upper hand first, but..."

Gui Yifayan dodged the opponent's attack, jumped backwards, and then the moment his right foot touched the bottom, he disappeared again.

The next moment, a streak of white light streaked across the sky like a comet and hit the armored man's raised sword directly.

"Ding!"

The white light dissipated, and Gui Yifayan, holding the sword in both hands and maintaining a stabbing posture, emerged from the "comet".

Although it was blocked, the smile on Gui Yifayan's face became more and more intense.

"Ding!"

From the point where the tip of the knife touched the blade, the crisp golden sound suddenly rang out again.

The hand of the armored man holding the sword trembled suddenly, as if the sword would slip out of his hand at the next moment.

And then……

"Ding!"

The third sound.

The force that surged into the sword was like a triple wave. Even the armored man could not withstand this force and flew backwards uncontrollably.

"Good! Now it's a draw!"

Looking at the armored man who was defeated, Gui Yifayan showed a smug smile.

One sword contains the power of three swords.

It is not Okita Souji's secret sword [Wu Ming San Tuo], but it does use a similar principle.

Although he was repelled by Gui Yifayan's sudden attack, the armored man did not suffer any damage.

"Solid as a mountain, continuous as water, swift as the wind, aggressive as fire..."

The Kiichi Hōgan also took up his stance, using the flat blue eyes that Okita Souji was best at.

"How many sword moves do you know?"

Being able to fight with Gui Yifayan to this extent, the martial arts displayed by the armored man are naturally not half-learned, but completely mastered.

However, mastering four or even more martial arts with completely different styles... is much more difficult than mastering four weapons.

After all, there are also similarities between different weapons, such as Bajiquan and Liuhe Spear, Wing Chun and Butterfly Double Swords.

Because habits are dependent, when you have mastered one martial art and want to learn another, the martial art you learned before will become an obstacle. Even if you really learn the second martial art, you will forget what you learned before.

This is just like learning a language. If you learn Chinese and then learn English, it will definitely be much more difficult than learning English directly. If you learn English, you may even forget how to say it in Chinese.

However, the armored man in front of him had mastered at least four sword moves, and he had mastered them completely, switching between them extremely smoothly.

This is a bit like Gui Yi Fa Yan. She is the same. She knows a lot of different things, some of which are related, some are completely unrelated, and some are even conflicting.

However, Gui Yi Fa Yan can and dares to do this because she is an immortal who has lived for a thousand years!

Why do most people, when studying, tend to "learn the parts that suit them best and absorb them into their bodies" rather than "learn everything all at once"? Because they simply don't have the time or energy for that. So every time they study, they make a choice—selecting what they are best at and most interested in, and discarding the difficult and boring parts.

Perhaps this can also be considered as "taking the essence and discarding the dross"?

That’s enough for those who are distracted.

Finding himself locked in by the opponent's aura again, Gui Yifayan's eyes fixed.

This opponent...it seems like I can't handle it if I don't take it seriously?

Of course, this is when only swordsmanship is used.

After all, her Ghost One Dharma Eye also possesses the skill [Sword of Eternal World A+]. If I were to use abilities other than swordsmanship against a swordsman, wouldn't that mean I'm inferior to him in that area? Wouldn't that tarnish my reputation?

The bold and unrestrained Daitengu Gui Yifayan who doesn't care about details seems to be particularly persistent in some aspects?

…………

"Chika! Are you ready?"

"Yeah! I'm ready, Sister Sara!"

Under the tree, Qianhua held a basket in both hands and raised her little head with great effort.

On the tree, Sara was half-crouching on a branch, reaching out his hand to a violet melon hanging next to it.

In a short while, Qianhua's basket was filled with violets.

As a result, because there were too many things in the basket... Qianhua couldn't lift the basket anymore.

"...I'll do it."

Not knowing what expression to make, Sara took the basket. Qianhua, who had blushed and couldn't lift the basket before, now picked it up without blushing or breathing heavily.

"Sister Sara is so amazing!"

"Well...it's okay."

Sara's face turned red. She had never interacted with people before, so her resistance to sincere compliments seemed to be a bit low.

"Actually... if you learn some martial arts like me, this kind of thing can be done easily."

Sara suddenly remembered that Guiyi Fayan had taught Qianhua to sing before.

So, in fact, it is also possible to teach Qianhua some martial arts? At least it can help Qianhua protect herself better.

After all, he is his first friend, and Sara hopes that he can live a better life.

However, think about it carefully... If you really want to teach Qianhua martial arts, you might as well ask the master if he can accept Qianhua as his apprentice.

Although he didn't know where Qianhua's parents had gone, Sara had already decided that after the seal was broken by the master, he would take Qianhua back to the master's home.
