Chapter 511
"Humph, saving people is just an excuse. It's not that easy to pass through our Five Poison Sect's territory." The green-veiled woman sneered, with a hint of unquestionable toughness in her voice.
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding believers rushed forward like a tide. The poisonous snakes and scorpions in their hands jumped up one after another, and the air was filled with a suffocating stench.
Ren Xiaoyao secretly calculated in his heart that there were many enemies in front of him and they were all proficient in using poison. If he just fought hard, it would be difficult to escape unscathed. He quickly adjusted his breathing and gathered all his energy in his palms, preparing to use his family's unique skills.
At this critical moment, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly flashed and shuttled between the enemies like a ghost. Every palm strike he made hit the opponent's vital points accurately. Venomous snakes and scorpions were turned into ashes under his palm wind.
The woman in green gauze was moved by this. She had never expected that this seemingly weak scholar in front of her had such deep inner strength and superb martial arts. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, as if she was thinking about a countermeasure.
Ren Xiaoyao did not give the other party a chance to breathe. He took advantage of the situation and lightly tapped the green gauze woman's chest with the tip of his sword. "Although your Five Poison Sect is powerful, there must be reason in the martial arts world. How about we just stop here today?"
The woman in green felt the chill of the sword tip and knew that if she continued to fight today, she would only bring humiliation upon herself. She gritted her teeth and finally nodded, signaling her men to retreat.
"Please spare my life, my good man. We will report today's incident to the master. I hope the medicine you asked for can save lives." The green-veiled woman's voice was filled with reluctance, but she had to accept the reality.
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and sheathed his sword. "Thank you for letting me go. I will definitely remember what happened today."
After the Five Poison Sect members retreated, Ren Xiaoyao continued to go deeper into the dense forest. He knew in his heart that the difficulties along the way were far more than this, but for the belief in his heart, he was willing to face all challenges.
Just as he was about to walk out of the dense forest, a clear voice suddenly came from behind him, "Wait, are you really just here to save people?"
Ren Xiaoyao turned around and saw that the woman in green gauze had caught up with him without him noticing. Her eyes were no longer full of hostility but curiosity and expectation.
"Yes, I am here only to find the holy medicine to save lives," Ren Xiaoyao answered calmly, without the slightest hesitation in his eyes.
The woman in green gauze was silent for a moment and finally nodded, "I believe in you, maybe we can be friends instead of enemies."
"Friends are the best." Ren Xiaoyao smiled and stretched out his hand. The two reached a tacit understanding at this moment. Perhaps in this dangerous journey, they can go forward hand in hand.
The woman in green gauze took Ren Xiaoyao's hand, and the two walked side by side, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest, leaving behind a string of laughter echoing in the woods, as if announcing the beginning of a new friendship and adventure.
The moonlight sprinkled like water in the ancient forest, with towering trees and lush branches and leaves, as if every place was hiding a secret. In this deep and dense forest, Ren Xiaoyao walked alone, his steps were light, like a ghost in the night wind, quietly shuttling between the shadows of the trees. The purpose of his trip was to find the legendary "Blue Sky Sword" that had been lost for a long time, a magical weapon that could cut off all the evil in the world.
Suddenly, a slight noise broke the silence of the night. Ren Xiaoyao immediately became alert, and quickly hid in the bushes beside him. Not far ahead, a group of people in strange costumes slowly approached. They were holding various weapons, and their eyes revealed a cold air. They were obviously disciples of the Five Poison Sect.
"Strange, people from the Five Poison Sect appear here late at night, are they also looking for the 'Blue Sky Sword'?" Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself, frowning.
A disciple of the Five Poison Sect suddenly stopped and sniffed the air, as if he had sensed something. "There are outsiders nearby!" He shouted, and the Five Poison Sect members around him immediately dispersed and surrounded him.
Ren Xiaoyao knew that hiding was useless, so he slowly stepped out of the shadows, staring at the group of enemies with a sharp gaze. "Why did you, the Five Poison Sect, sneak into this place so late at night?" His voice was steady and powerful, without any fear.
"Hmph, what we are looking for has nothing to do with you. If you are smart, hand over everything you have and maybe I can spare your life." An elder of the Five Poison Sect sneered, with greed flashing in his eyes.
Ren Xiaoyao raised his lips to sneer, "I, Ren Xiaoyao, have been in the martial arts world for many years, how could I be afraid of your Five Poison Sect?"
Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his body and rushed towards the enemy group like an arrow from a bow, waving the long sword in his hand, the sword light was like a dragon, and each sword was extremely accurate, pointing directly at the enemy's heart. Although there were many people in the Five Poison Sect, they seemed vulnerable under Ren Xiaoyao's sword and fell one after another.
The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, and in the end, all the members of the Five Poison Sect were defeated by Ren Xiaoyao and lay on the ground groaning. Ren Xiaoyao put away his sword and stood up, with a few bloodstains on his clothes, but his eyes were more determined.
"Remember, the world of martial arts is not a place where the strong prey on the weak. A truly strong person will not abuse the use of force." Ren Xiaoyao said this lightly, turned around and disappeared into the night, leaving only shock and fear in the hearts of the people of the Five Poisons Sect.
Just as he was about to move forward, a clear voice sounded behind him: "Master Ren, you are really good at fighting."
Ren Xiaoyao turned around and saw a woman standing in the moonlight. She was dressed in white, had a pretty face and admiring eyes. "Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Su Qianmo, and I have come here to help Hero Ren in his quest for the sword." Su Qianmo smiled slightly, and with a light leap, he came to Ren Xiaoyao's side.
"Thank you Miss Su, with your help, the journey to find the sword will be twice as easy with half the effort." Ren Xiaoyao clasped his fists, but he was secretly alert in his heart. The world is dangerous, and he didn't know whether this woman was sincere in helping him.
The two walked side by side and continued to go deeper into the forest. The road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but Ren Xiaoyao's heart was filled with more warmth and hope because of Su Qianmo's company.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on an old temple deep in the dense forest of Miaojiang. This temple, according to legend, was once the holy place of the Five Poison Sect, but now it has been abandoned for a long time, with only wild vines and spider webs, making it look particularly gloomy. Ren Xiaoyao, the famous swordsman in the world, was slowly walking into this mysterious place, his footsteps were light, and every step seemed to be stepping into the gap of time, without disturbing the dust.
"Legend has it that the Five Poison Sect's most precious treasure, the 'Blue Sky and Yellow Spring', is hidden here. It can bring a person back to life, or kill him instantly." Ren Xiaoyao whispered to himself, his eyes flashing with a mixture of curiosity and vigilance. "Whenever a treasure comes out, there will be strange signs. Today I want to find out."
Inside the ancient temple, the air was filled with an indescribable strange atmosphere, and the murals on the walls were mottled and seemed to be telling the glory and sorrow of the past. Suddenly, a slight noise broke the silence, and Ren Xiaoyao's figure shook, his sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the source of the sound.
"Who are you, sir? Since you are here, why don't you come out and meet me?" Ren Xiaoyao's voice was calm and powerful, echoing in the empty temple.
A figure slowly walked out of the shadows. It was an old man dressed in Miao costumes with a mysterious smile on his face. "Young man, you are very brave to enter the forbidden area of the Five Poison Sect."
"I only want to see 'Bi Luo Huang Quan', no offense intended." Ren Xiaoyao clasped his fists and said, his attitude respectful but firm.
A trace of admiration flashed in the old man's eyes. He said slowly: "'Bi Luo Huang Quan' is very important. It concerns the survival of the Five Poison Sect. It will not be shown to others easily. However, if you can pass my test, perhaps..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man moved and appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao like a ghost, with his five fingers forming claws, attacking with the sound of breaking through the air. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes focused, and the long sword in his hand turned into a silver light, colliding with the old man's claw shadow, making a crisp sound of metal collision.
The battle broke out instantly, with swords flashing and sabers flying in the temple, and every clash was accompanied by violent air fluctuations. Ren Xiaoyao's swordsmanship was agile and sharp, and every sword was aimed at the old man's vital points. The old man's martial arts were strange and unpredictable, sometimes as cruel as a snake and scorpion, and sometimes as slippery as a swimming fish, making it difficult to grasp.
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, a loud noise suddenly came from somewhere in the temple, and a huge stone statue collapsed, revealing a secret room hidden behind it. In the secret room, a ray of green light shone through, which was the "Blue Spring" that Ren Xiaoyao had been looking for.
"It seems that this is God's will." The old man withdrew his hand and stepped back, looking at Ren Xiaoyao with complicated eyes, "You are indeed qualified to own it."
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the secret room, feeling mixed emotions. He turned to the old man and smiled, "Thank you for your help, senior. I will keep this item in good care and will never let it fall into the hands of evil people."
The old man nodded, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, "Young man, you have this heart, that's enough. Remember, the real power lies in how you use it, not in possession."
As the "Bi Luo Huang Quan" was taken into his pocket, Ren Xiaoyao turned and left, his back looking particularly resolute under the moonlight. He knew that the experience of this night would become a legend on his martial arts path, and he would continue to move forward, explore a wider world, and protect the justice and light in his heart.
"Senior, goodbye." Ren Xiaoyao's voice drifted away in the night wind, leaving behind a silence.
"Go, the road ahead is long, I wish you a safe journey." The old man's response was like a gust of warm wind, bidding farewell to the young swordsman who was about to embark on a new journey.
The moonlight was like a stream of silk, shining on the ancient Sword Forging Villa. Inside the villa, the iron furnace was blazing, and the firelight reflected a young and resolute face - Ren Xiaoyao. He held an unformed long sword in his hand, and his eyes burned with endless desire for martial arts. Sword Forging Villa, this legendary holy place in the martial arts world, has now become a battlefield for him to temper his character.
"Ren Xiaoyao, do you know that the way to forge a sword is actually the art of forging a heart?" The old owner Li Wuji slowly walked into the sword-forging room, his voice full of vicissitudes but power, "The sword has not yet been forged, but the heart has already gone ahead."
Ren Xiaoyao stopped hammering, turned around and bowed to Li Wuji: "Disciple understands that forging a sword is like forging a heart. Only with a righteous heart and sincere intentions can one forge a peerless sword."
Li Wuji nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Very good, but the road to sword-making also has many tests. Today, you will face the trial of the Sword-Forging Villa. Only by passing it can you truly understand the mystery of sword-forging."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the sword-making room opened with a bang, and a cold wind blew in, along with a black shadow. The black shadow fell silently in front of Ren Xiaoyao like a ghost in the night. It was a mysterious woman covered with a black veil.
"She is your test. Her name is Phantom. She is one of the best swordsmen in the Sword Forging Villa in the past hundred years." Li Wuji's voice was low and serious. "If you can take the sword from her, you will pass the test."
The shadow slowly drew out the long sword from her waist. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, making a subtle humming sound, as if telling of its sharpness and eagerness. "Ren Xiaoyao, are you ready?" Her voice was cold, but with a hint of imperceptible expectation.
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, clenched the unfinished sword blank in his hand, and a firm look flashed in his eyes: "I'm ready."
The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere froze instantly. The shadow moved, and disappeared like a ghost. The next moment, the sword flashed, and went straight to Ren Xiaoyao's throat. Ren Xiaoyao's heart trembled. Although he had not yet completed the sword, his many years of martial arts training were not empty words. He shook his body and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the sword lights in the sword forging room were intertwined, and every collision sparked dazzling sparks. Ren Xiaoyao was defeated by the attack of the shadow, but he did not give up. Every time he dodged, he was looking for an opportunity to counterattack. Finally, in a confrontation, he seized a flaw in the shadow and slammed the sword in his hand into the shadow's sword.
"Dang!" A crisp metal collision sound was heard, and the long sword in the shadow's hand flew out and fell to the ground not far away. She was slightly startled, then smiled, took off her veil, and revealed a beautiful face: "You win, Ren Xiaoyao."
