The carriage slowly stopped in front of a large house in the southern district of the city.
"This is the place."
Sun Yuanxiang got down from the carriage and looked at the house in front of him.
Shen Lian got down from the carriage after him.
"This is the home of 'Wind Chasing Arrester' Bai Lifei?"
Sun Yuanxiang nodded and said slowly, "Bai Lifei's' Wind Chasing Fast Sword 'is unique. When I mastered the Stormy Waves Swordsmanship, he had already made a name for himself in the Central Plains.
After I mastered the swordsmanship, I wanted to be famous, so I challenged some famous Martial Masters and defeated them.
After that, I went to the Northern Land alone to challenge more powerful Martial Masters in the Central Plains, and I met Bai Lifei.
I fought with him for hundreds of rounds and was almost exhausted. In the end, it ended in a draw. However, I knew that I had lost. Bai Lifei was born with great physical strength and talent. He was much better than me.
After that battle, Bai Lifei and I appreciated each other and regretted that we had not met earlier. We became sworn brothers and I called him Big Brother. "
Shen Lian asked curiously, "Bai Lifei is a Martial Master in the Central Plains. Why did he come to the Northern Land?"
Sun Yuanxiang sighed and said, "It's because he is too famous and has many challengers. In addition, he hates evil and has too many enemies. After he passed his prime, he was not strong enough and had to leave the Central Plains to settle down in the bitter Northern Land. He just wants to enjoy his old age. "
Shen Lian understood.
Sun Yuanxiang knocked on the door.
A servant opened the door and saw Sun Yuanxiang. He smiled warmly and said, "Elder Sun, you're here."
"Is your Old Master here?"
"Yes, he just finished his morning exercise and is having his morning tea."
"Go and inform him that I'm here."
"Okay, Elder Sun, come in first. It's windy outside."
The servant opened the door.
Sun Yuanxiang and Shen Lian went in and waited in the living room.
Soon, they saw an old man in his seventies striding in.
The old man had white hair and a beard. His eyes were shining and he was tall and sturdy. He was almost two meters tall and looked very strong. Through his thin clothes, one could see his steel-like muscles.
Shen Lian could not help but be shocked.
This old man was either born strong or he had trained his body to the extreme. He was really strong! It gave off an invisible pressure!
"Little Brother, you haven't come to see me for a while." Bai Li Fei's voice was like a loud bell, and it was extremely candid.
Sun Yuanxiang smiled and said, "Big Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, please don't blame me!"
Bai Li Fei waved his hand and looked at Shen Lian. He smiled and asked, "Who is this little brother?"
Sun Yuanxiang immediately introduced them.
Bai Lifei suddenly understood. He cupped his hands and said, "So it's the Eldest Young Master of the Shen family. Your father, Shen Wanquan, is considered to be one of the more upright ones among the four major families. The Old Man has a good impression of him."
Hearing this, Shen Lian's heart skipped a beat. He smiled and said, "After I inherit my ancestral land, I will do more good deeds and benefit the people."
Bai Li Fei nodded and slowly sat down. He asked, "Little Brother, you brought your Eldest Young Master to see me. Is there something important to discuss?"
Sun Yuanxiang replied, "My family's Eldest Young Master is obsessed with practicing martial arts, and has learned from hundreds of schools to strengthen himself. When he heard me mention your Wind Chasing Fast Sword, he was full of admiration and came to learn from you. "
Shen Lian immediately handed over a red envelope.
Bai Li Fei took it and looked at it. It was a banknote of ten thousand taels of silver!
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile. He said, "Of course you can learn from the Old Man. However, the Old Man has a rule. He can only teach for a month at most. Do you accept?"
Shen Lian smiled and nodded. He said, "I accept."
Sun Yuanxiang looked like he was waiting for a good show. He smiled but didn't say anything.
Then, the three of them came to the martial arts field.
Bai Li Fei suddenly unsheathed his sword. It was as fast as lightning. The sword Qi was like a rainbow, and it raised a gust of wind.
"In the world of martial arts, there is nothing that cannot be broken. Only speed is unbreakable!
My Wind Chasing Fast Sword, as the name suggests, is as fast as the wind and as sharp as lightning. It strives to win with speed.
This sword technique is divided into five levels. They are: Seeing Red with a Dot, Turning the Hand, Spreading the Claws of a Fierce Ghost, White Steed Flashes, Startling Beauty.
Every move is an attack. There is no defense, no dodging. Pressing forward with indomitable will. Fast attacks are invincible! "
As he spoke, Bai Li Fei demonstrated the five sword moves of his Wind Chasing Fast Sword and explained the mental cultivation method to complement them.
Sure enough, the sword technique was extremely fast. There were no complicated moves, what it pursued was that breathtaking and unparalleled speed of the sword!
"Did you see that? The trick to cultivating this sword technique is to have explosive power in an instant!
You don't need to be fast all the time. There are times when you are fast, and times when you are slow. You need to grasp the rhythm.
As long as you burst out with astonishing strength and speed at the moment of your attack, no one can stop your attack! "
Bai Li Fei said proudly, his whole body emitting a domineering aura that defeated all experts.
Shen Lian watched attentively and understood tacitly. The grandmaster Gu shone again, and specks of starlight entered his forehead.
In an instant, all kinds of profundities of the sword technique appeared in his mind. It was like slow motion on a TV, clear and clear.
Just as Bai Li Fei was about to demonstrate the sword technique again, Shen Lian let out a breath of turbid air and said, "Let me try."
Bai Li Fei was stunned. Earlier, in order to display the power of Wind Chasing Fast Sword, he attacked extremely quickly. Normally, in other people's eyes, they would only see a blur and would not be able to see the details. Thus, he purposely slowed down the rhythm for the second time so that they could see it clearly.
"Then, you can try." Bai Li Fei was stunned for a moment before he slowly kept his sword and stood to the side.
Swoosh! Shen Lian pulled out his sword with a solemn expression and demonstrated the moves one by one. Although he was not as fast as Bai Li Fei, he had clearly obtained thirty to forty percent of the true essence of the sword technique.
Bai Li Fei was deeply shocked, his jaw almost dropping to the ground!
For the next few days, Shen Lian stayed at Bai Li Fei's house and diligently practiced Wind Chasing Fast Sword. The more he practiced, the better it got. In the blink of an eye, ten days later, the sword technique had reached great success!
Clang clang clang …
On the battle stage, metal and metal collided continuously.
Two long swords, swish swish swish, attacked each other in a dazzling manner, stirring up bright sparks of electricity.
The wind surged violently between them, causing smoke and dust to fly everywhere. The falling leaves suddenly exploded and turned into fine powder.
At a certain moment, both parties suddenly stopped.
Bai Li Fei's sword was pressed five inches above Shen Lian's head. If he took one more step, Shen Lian's head would be pierced. However, Shen Lian's sword was pressed against Bai Li Fei's throat.
"The Old Man has lost!"
Bai Li Fei sighed deeply and shook his head.
He regretted, he really regretted it!
He regretted accepting the ten thousand taels red packet. Because of this, he missed out on a true disciple who could inherit his legacy!
He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
"You are really … a demon!" Bai Li Fei looked at Shen Lian, dumbfounded. His expression was as if he had been bitten by a dog.
Seeing this scene, Sun Yuanxiang was secretly pleased. Finally, there was someone who could understand his feelings.
…
The night was dark and the cold wind whistled.
Outside the Snow Ridge City, there was an endless snowfield.
The land was vast and the withered grass reached the sky. The wind was like the crying of ghosts, mixed with the howling of snow wolves.
Snow wolves were the most ferocious beasts in the snowfield. They appeared and disappeared unpredictably and moved in packs. Once surrounded by them, there was only a slim chance of survival.
Shen Lian had never seen a snow wolf alive.
In the Shen family's library, there was a specimen of a snow wolf. Its body was extremely large, about three to four meters long. When it stood up, it was about the same height as a horse. Its fangs were sharp and sharp.
The harsh climate in the north and the lack of food had bred the snow wolves' fierce temperament. They had the habit of not giving up until they set their eyes on their prey.
It would be extremely dangerous to encounter a pack of snow wolves in the daytime, not to mention in the dark of the night.
Shen Lian walked alone in the outskirts. He only had a torch in his hand and a metal sword at his waist. He walked alone like this.
On the city gate tower, the two old men, Bai Lifei and Sun Yuanxiang, looked at the fire in the distance. They held warm wine and drank one cup after another.
The two old men were depressed. They had been hit hard by Shen Lian. They sympathized with him.
In order to get back at him, they asked Shen Lian to hunt snow wolves.
"Only after experiencing a real life and death battle and experiencing the cruelty of a desperate situation can one be considered a qualified warrior." Bai Lifei suddenly sighed.
Sun Yuanxiang nodded in agreement. "Some people are so scared when they encounter danger that their legs turn to jelly. No matter how good they are at martial arts, it's useless.
Humans, only in between life and death, in the face of oppression from the powerful, in the face of trials, can they truly see themselves clearly. Are they fearless warriors or weak cowards? "
The wind was strong and there was no moon. The pitch-black wilderness was like a sleeping giant beast lying in front of him.
Shen Lian suddenly stopped and stuck the torch into the ground.
Looking around, three sides were pitch-black. Only the direction of Snow Ridge City had a weak light.
"It's really ancient times. There are no roads, no night lights. Nature is showing its wildness and darkness."
Shen Lian took out an oiled paper bag and opened it. A piece of raw pork with blood was revealed. He threw it not far away.
The smell of blood was blown away by the wind.
They did not have to wait for long.
In the darkness, a strange green light suddenly surged. It was the eyes of a snow wolf.
Then, a strange sound was heard. It sounded like the wind, but also like the low roar of some kind of beast.
"It's coming!"
Shen Lian immediately unsheathed his sword.
Whoosh! A black shadow suddenly rushed out of the darkness. It pounced on the raw meat and picked it up.
Shen Lian's pupils shrank. He saw that the snow wolf was taller than him. It was majestic and ferocious. Its whole body was covered with hard grey hair. Its claws and fangs shone with a terrifying cold light in the firelight.
The snow wolf swallowed the piece of meat and then turned its head to look at Shen Lian.
At this moment, just as Shen Lian's attention was focused on the snow wolf in front of him, he suddenly felt a cold wind behind him.
Shen Lian's body tensed up. He turned around and swung his sword.
This move was fast and ruthless. It was as if he had practiced it countless times. In fact, it was instinctive.
He saw a snow wolf leap into the air and pounce at him. It was hit by his sword.
"Ha!" Shen Lian roared.
The sword tip bounced back with a strong impact and a hard touch. The sword wrapped in yuan qi clanged in Shen Lian's hand and swept the snow wolf away.
Peng!
The snow wolf fell to the ground and rolled a few times to get up. Suddenly, its four legs gave way and it fell down again.
With the help of the firelight, the snow wolf's throat was cut open by Shen Lian's sword. A large amount of blood spurted out and covered the ground.
Another two snow wolves came out from the darkness. Without much time to think, Shen Lian raised his sword and unleashed the Stormy Waves Swordsmanship. The sword aura poured out, pushing the waves and waves towards the wolves.
Puff! Puff!
The two snow wolves that were still leaping in the air were cut in half at the waist. They flew past Shen Lian on both sides.
Shen Lian stood still and maintained the posture of drawing his sword.
Blood splashed like rain and drenched Shen Lian. His whole body was stained with blood and he looked a bit ferocious.
"Come on. If you don't eat me, I'll kill you all."
Shen Lian's eyes were red. He gathered his strength and took the initiative to rush toward the snow wolf that was eating the raw meat. He suddenly accelerated and pointed the tip of his sword forward.
