The clash of green and red, the clash of cold and heat, Frost Bloom melted quickly, turning into mist and dispersing in the blink of an eye.
Prince Yan restrained his sense of the sword breath of Azure Sword, and his cultivation level was also suppressed to the middle stage of ninth grade, giving the junior in front of him the greatest fairness.
With one move of the sword, Ning Chen already felt unparalleled pressure. The opponent had no flaws at all, so he didn't know where to attack with his next move.
The moves were not dominant. Ning Chen activated two rolls of Heavenly Tome at the same time. Scroll of Earth moved, causing Thick Earth Qi to explode. Between the two of them, a dark yellow light rose, and the gravity instantly increased ten times.
Prince Yan The body sank, but his expression remained calm. Crimson Sword The heat surged, and he slashed down with the help of gravity.
With a faster and heavier sword, Azure Sword was instantly suppressed in Ning Chen's hand, and an empty door appeared in his chest.
Prince Yan stretched out his left hand and penetrated three inches above the heart channel with one finger.
With a move that was reserved but merciless, Heavenly Tome's advantage was broken by the double volume, and Ning Chen was once again suppressed.
At the moment of crisis, Ning Chen took half a step back, turned his left palm, and the waves started, and the same move hit Prince Yan's chest.
"Not bad"
Prince Yan nodded, turned sideways to avoid the attack, and his sword finger passed by smoothly, emitting a green sword light.
Ning Chen dodged, but when he heard a bang, the ground shook just where he was, and in the blink of an eye, a sword mark three feet long appeared, bottomless.
"World Waves Flow East"
Seeing that his opponent was unstoppable, Ning Chen raised his left palm, the blue light flourished, the waves rolled, and the boundless sea fell suddenly.
"One Imperial Roaring Waves Split Ten Thousand Miles"
After a palm strike, Ning Chen immediately changed his moves, the sword rose up to split the sky, and slashed down amidst the tens of thousands of feet of waves.
Facing the palm power and sword light that came with him, Prince Yan held his left hand empty, and as the cold air condensed, an ice sword instantly solidified.
"Blue and red breathe together, one breath without any fuss"
Prince Yan The two swords were like lightning, reaching their peaks, green and red dancing, and the stream of light was dazzling. The moment they illuminated the eyes, countless sword lights flashed across.
The three moves collided and exploded. The earth was devastated, and as the earth shook, cracks appeared and spread vertically and horizontally, reaching ten feet away.
Ning Chen's eyes were condensed, and the figure moved again. One sword turned into a thousand. After a moment, it was condensed into one, and the sword was in front of Qing Yi.
However, this fastest sword was blocked by the faster Crimson Sword. The tips of the two swords collided, and the aftermath rippled out, causing dust and sand to fill the sky.
Ning Chen His eyes narrowed severely, and before he could react, an ice sword was in front of his heart.
"You lost!" Prince Yan said calmly as his hand shook and the ice sword dispersed.
Ning Chen felt a little disappointed. He knew he would lose, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly.
He had two volumes of Heavenly Tome and Changsun Lineage techniques, but he still couldn't gain the upper hand even for a moment when faced with his seniors.
As for the last move, if he were to swap positions with Prince Yan, he wouldn't be able to do as subtle a move as his predecessor.
The true meaning of the sword is speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy. The most difficult thing is accuracy. The slightest difference can make a huge difference.
Prince Yan waved his hand, and Azure-Crimson Twin Swords turned into a stream of light and sank into the sword frame, restraining his sharp edge.
"Do you know why you lost?" Prince Yan said calmly.
"The foundation is unreliable," Ning Chen said.
Prince Yan nodded and continued, "You are progressing too fast in martial arts, but you have neglected the most basic things. The journey of martial arts is not limited to the ultimate moves. When fighting, there are not many opportunities for you to gather energy and concentrate on moves. The most common moves are the key to victory or defeat."
"Thank you, senior, for your advice."
Ning Chen bowed respectfully and thanked him.
His moves were all learned in battles. They were useful, but they were too utilitarian and not solid enough. He hadn't paid much attention to them before, but only after today's battle did he realize how far he was from the strongest person in the world.
"These days, you have been distracted by too many other things, which will be very detrimental to your martial arts path. In martial arts practice, distraction is the most important thing to avoid, especially at the critical moment of the ninth grade. You have to be careful," Prince Yan warned.
"Junior understands"
Ning Chen sighed in his heart, he could not leave Changsun alone. As for martial arts training, he should take care of both if he could. If it didn't work, he could only give up temporarily.
Prince Yan frowned, and he could see that Ning Chen didn't listen.
"In one month, I will leave the Imperial City. I will give you one month to deal with these matters in the Imperial City. After one month, you will follow me." Prince Yan said, speaking calmly but not allowing any objection.
Ning Chen was startled and was about to speak, but was stopped by Prince Yan.
"Don't forget, you are still my king's Sword Attendant. Within this year, your freedom will be decided by me."
"Yes"
Ning Chen reluctantly agreed. He knew that the senior was doing it for his own good, but one month was too tight.
On the way back, there was a gentle breeze. Ning Chen walked on the street with a heavy heart. The more he worried about, the more he felt that his energy was becoming less and less.
The situation in the Imperial City is indeed not optimistic. The existence of the two Imperial Prince is like two time bombs that may explode at some point.
In addition, he even suspected whether Three Grand Ministers also played a disgraceful role behind this.
Three Grand Ministers's loyalty to Great Xia was unquestionable. However, at this time, power is in its most turbulent period, and it is inevitable that ambitious people will appear.
Unknowingly, Ning Chen passed by the Yishui River. Under the night, the place of fireworks had reached the most prosperous moment of the day. People were bustling in and out. No matter what era, men and women were irresistible temptations.
In front of the Lingyan Pavilion, four or five exquisite women were waiting for guests. They were pretty and charming, their clothes were thin and their bottoms were visible. A large area of snow-white skin was exposed, and the rest were also looming. Just one glance made the mouth dry.
"Sir, please come inside."
As soon as Ning Chen arrived in front of the pavilion, he was grabbed by a girl with good looks and scantily clad clothes. Then a girl in the pavilion with a gorgeous dress and a fat waist and butt came over to help. She was fragrant and smiled coquettishly. Her plump chest was almost pressing on Ning Chen, and she forcefully pushed her inside.
The pavilion is extremely spacious, but there are already many guests, and most of the tables are occupied. The girl is beside him, half-dressed, a bit drunk, a bit flattering, and an air of extravagance that makes people want to move.
Ning Chen glanced at the lobby without leaving any trace, acting like an ordinary person, a little shy and a little curious. He would not disturb these poor women if he could.
"This is your first time, young master. How about I accompany you?" As soon as she entered the pavilion, the girl put her arms around Ning Chen half-armed, and kept leaning against Ning Chen. She was already very single. The thin clothes were almost as good as nothing at this moment, and the scent of her body flowed into Ning Chen's nose without any reservation, causing a rosy glow on Ning Chen's face, which was calm before.
"Giggle, my brother is still shy, my sister really likes you." Yancui As soon as he saw it, he knew that he had met a young man. His eyes were filled with excitement, and he felt a little joyful in his heart. The young master in front of him was handsome and his breath was very clean. Although he had been in this industry for a long time and had seen all kinds of people, after all, everyone wanted to accompany someone who looked comfortable.
"I'm here to find someone," Ning Chen said shyly.
"Haha, little brother, don't be shy. Who is here not to find someone, but to eat." On a table not far away, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes and surrounded by several girls laughed loudly after hearing this.
"I really came here to find someone," Ning Chen explained in a low voice.
"Yes, looking for someone, looking for someone. If my brother doesn't mind, my sister will accompany you to find someone." Yancui snickered, but he didn't say anything. He followed Ning Chen's words. Finally, he found someone he liked, but he couldn't scare him away.
Ning Chen smiled, found a place nearby, ordered some food and drinks, but didn't move a bit, just drank tea quietly, didn't speak, and didn't move much. It looked simple and ordinary.
Yancui felt happy in his heart, thinking that Ning Chen was shy and still trying to pretend to be calm, so he stayed by his side playfully, rubbing Ning Chen with his plump chest from time to time. Every time he stood up to pour tea, his slender waist bent slightly, exposing the white flowers on his chest to Ning Chen's eyes. The fragrance was astounding and sultry.
Every time at this time, Ning Chen's face would become rosy, and her delicate face would look even more shy.
Yancui giggled and became more interested in teasing the little guy in front of her.
"Sister, what is the upstairs used for?" Ning Chen raised his head curiously and asked with a bit of shyness on his face.
Yancui turned his eyes and said seductively, "Gee, there are fun places upstairs. Would you like my brother to accompany your sister to go up there and have a look?"
"..." Ning Chen lowered his head slightly and said nothing, his face instantly turned red.
"Ding..."
At this moment, the beautiful piano music sounded in the attic. The music was faint and dreamlike. In a blink of an eye, it dispersed the melancholy sounds in the pavilion. The entire attic became extremely quiet for an instant, leaving only the fairy music echoing for a long time.
"The sound of Su Xianzi's piano," the middle-aged man who had previously teased Ning Chen reacted and shouted with a look of infatuation and joy.
"I have heard that Fairy Feiyan is a master of piano and dancing. My young master came to visit me today. I wonder if I can meet her."
At the same time, on the second floor, the doors of several rooms opened, and several figures in luxurious clothes walked out. One of the attendants saw the owner's eyes and asked, with a polite and calm tone, without a trace of neglect.
In the room covered by the bead curtain, a clear voice came out, like the sound of clear water ding-dong, politely refusing, "Miss has been feeling unwell recently and cannot see guests. Please forgive me, sir!"
"Oh? I don't know what kind of illness Su Xianzi is suffering from. Maybe my young master can help."
The attendant who had spoken before chuckled and spoke again. Although his words were still polite, there was a hint of aggression in them.
As soon as the words fell, the scene was quiet for a moment, and everyone could tell that there was some unreasonable meaning in the attendant's words. Fairy Su had been claiming to be ill for a long time and rarely showed up. This was already known to everyone. However, the Lingyan Pavilion backstage was unfathomable, and few people dared to offend, but they did not expect that such a scene would appear today.
Ning Chen raised his head and looked at a certain room on the second floor. While drinking tea, he quietly watched the farce without any intention of intervening.
He had heard of the name Su Feiyan. She was a three-time oiran with a far-reaching reputation. She also read poetry and books and was good at playing the piano and dancing. She was also a rare talented woman in the world.
