When Yun Jing returned to Xieyang City, the sky was already turning white. In winter, the northern land was covered with thick ice and snow. Everywhere he looked, there was a vast expanse of white.

The curfew in the city has ended, and most people have started a busy day in order to make a living.

I got up early and bought some steamed buns, soy milk and fried dough sticks for breakfast at the breakfast shop. When I returned to my residence, Yunjing had already finished the breakfast I bought.

Considering that he was going to meet Yang Kaishan and others in the illusion next, Yunjing took a bath and put on winter scholar clothes, dressing very formally.

Living in this era, in terms of clothing, for ordinary people, there is nothing more decent than clothing that represents fame.

He also brought a sword, a scholar's sword. The sword is a ritual weapon, an accessory, and of course, a sharp weapon.

After packing himself up, Yunjing headed to the west gate of the city, where he had made an appointment with his master Li Qiu yesterday.

When Yunjing came to the city gate, the gate here was already open. Even though the sky was filled with ice and snow, there were many people coming in and out. In addition to the troops stationed in the city, this city has a population of more than one million, and it needs to handle a huge amount of daily necessities every day.

Although there were a lot of people coming in and out, they were in an orderly manner under the strict inspection of the guards.

Before Li Qiu and the others arrived, Yunjing stood by the city gate and waited quietly, watching people coming and going and observing the various behaviors of all living beings.

He was observing the people passing by, but many people were also observing him, which confirmed the saying, "You look at the scenery on the bridge, and the people under the bridge are looking at you."

Yun Jing's appearance will not be lost in the crowd even if he stands in a sea of ​​people. He is the most handsome boy.

While waiting, Yunjing saw an acquaintance, Song Mingdao, who had returned from outside the city. He was dressed in black and sword uniform, and his whole body was sharp and sharp, like an unsheathed sword. He was outstanding.

He is in his thirties but not yet forty years old, which is the peak moment of his life. His attitude as a "young man" is vividly displayed. He should be more carefree while he is young, which is how he should be.

However, there was a faint smell of blood on Song Mingdao's body, and there was a tear in the clothes on his shoulder. He was obviously injured, but the skin was injured. He seemed to have killed someone not long ago, and his murderous aura had not completely disappeared. People gave way wherever he went.

.

For people like him who are in the world, it is best for ordinary people not to mess with him.

"This man's martial arts has obviously improved a lot. I really don't know how far he has practiced the 'Sword Classic'." Yunjing looked at him and thought to himself, it was a bit ridiculous. Who knew that the Sword Classic he had written that day was so bragging?

He actually made him famous.

Well, there is never a shortage of geniuses in the world. For geniuses, many things are so unreasonable.

Then Yunjing thought of the story books he had read in his previous life. Many fellow villagers could not survive without cheating in other worlds. Little did they know that for real geniuses, they themselves are cheaters, and external forces would actually hinder the growth of geniuses.

Song Mingdao also felt Yun Jing's gaze, looked up and recognized Yun Jing. He had met Yun Jing when he challenged his master Liu Neng on the road, and he still remembered that he nodded from a distance as a greeting.

He didn't recognize Yunjing as the little kid he met on the way to Fengyang City. He had long forgotten it after so many years.

Yun Jing cupped his fists and saluted slightly, which was regarded as a greeting. The two of them were not familiar with each other, so it could be said that they were just nodding acquaintances, nothing more.

Thinking of Song Mingdao's challenge to Liu Neng at that time, Yunjing wondered how Liu Neng was doing now. Did he understand the two questions he asked? And where was Ye Tian? He didn't know where he abducted him.

Already...

Yun Jing had no idea that Liu Neng had now set foot in the legendary Xiaoyao Realm, and it was thanks to his two questions. Otherwise, he didn't know what he would think.

When greeting Song Mingdao, Yunjing clearly felt a cold gaze on him. He looked around with his senses and saw a swordsman in his forties striding towards him.

The man was not tall and had a mediocre appearance. He was wearing a fur coat and a fur hat, but his eyes were extremely sharp, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. Not many people dared to look at him.

He is in the middle stage of Xiantian, and judging from the momentum, he is not at the bottom. I think he has mastered one or several powerful skills. He looked at the opponent Yunjing and made a judgment in his mind.

That person's dress and appearance were obviously different from those of Dali, just like the Chinese and Koreans in Yunjing's previous life, who could be clearly distinguished.

He didn't hide his coldness and walked straight towards Yunjing.

When he came nearby, the opponent held a knife in both hands and made a fist-cup salute. He said to Yun Jing without concealing his murderous intention: "Da Jiang, the knife king, Qi Huaizhi, are here to learn Master Yun's methods!"

He spoke in Dali Mandarin, staring at Yunjing and speaking word by word.

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area was quiet for a moment, and then the crowd quickly moved away, and even Song Mingdao, who was about to leave, stopped.

People vacated a large area, and their eyes did not hide their disgust for Qi Huaizhi.

It is not strange for people from the Dajiang Dynasty to appear in the territory of the Dali Dynasty. After all, they are members of the Jianghu. They only represent individuals and not others. Even though the two countries are at war now, it is a matter between countries.

Traveling between rivers and lakes are two different things.

What was supposed to come came anyway, and Yun Jing was not surprised by Qi Huaizhi's unabashed murderous intent, just like the people in Dali wanted to kill those in Dajiang who targeted their own people.

Ever since he learned that he was on the Dajiang Dynasty's hunting list, Yunjing had a premonition that something like this would happen at any time.

Challenges in the arena are perfectly normal. The war between the two countries does not hinder the "exchanges" between people in the arena.

Yunjing killed so many people from the Dajiang Dynasty in Sitong Town, and was offered a reward for his assassination. However, not long after that, Yunjing even the killer organization couldn't stop him. A few days ago, Yunjing was practicing in the army and killed

There are many people in the Dajiang Dynasty, and there are several innate masters. These are not secrets, and it is normal for them to come to their door.

Everyone around him who had some knowledge looked at Qi Huaizhi with disdain. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you, a congenital master, to challenge a young man who has acquired an acquired level?

However, the world is like this. When people come to challenge, they either accept the challenge or simply admit defeat. It is a matter for both parties. If others want to intervene, they can only wait until later. This is an unspoken rule. If you want to fight side by side, most of these situations will occur in non-official countries.

During a normal challenge.

It would be very embarrassing to admit defeat, and it would be a huge blow to your reputation. Countless people in this era value reputation more than their lives, and if you accept the challenge, your life or death will be unpredictable!

Yunjing is a scholar, not a gangster, but now he does not have an official position, so it is reasonable for Qi Huaizhi to challenge him. If Yunjing has an official position, then he cannot use the normal challenge method in the Jianghu to target him.

"Little brother, don't be fooled by him. You are still young. There is no need to challenge you. We are not blind yet. He is higher than you in cultivation. He is just bullying you because you are young. This person clearly wants to kill you through the challenge. Just admit defeat.

We understand you, it will only be him who is embarrassed, and it is also the face of the entire Jianghu Dynasty. It is extremely shameless."

"Mr. Yun, which Mr. Yun? Could it be that Mr. Yun who was born to kill the enemy in Sitong Town?"

"He's right. Rumor has it that Mr. Yun is extremely handsome, one of the few in the world. He's the right one."

"Your news is all out of date. Haven't you heard about Mr. Yun's killing of several innates from the enemy at Luocaopo not long ago?"

"Hiss, how old is he to actually have such means!"

"Master Yun, ignore him. This person has bad intentions. How can I, the righteous man of Dali, allow him to show off his power here? Give up, let's challenge him one by one, and he will not be able to leave Xieyang City!"

People around him spoke for Yunjing, and even patrol soldiers came over to maintain order.

Normal challenges in the arena are outside the ban. As long as there are not multiple people fighting with weapons and causing disaster to innocent people, the government will not intervene, at least on the surface. The arena, the court, and the country are two realms, each with its own unspoken rules.

Qi Huaizhi looked at Yun Jing coldly, not caring at all about the words of the people around him. As long as he could kill Yun Jing, it didn't matter how much they said. As for afterwards, did he dare to stand up, fearing that Dali's people would make things difficult for him?

Yunjing held his sword and cupped his hands and saluted everyone around him: "Thank you for your kindness." Then he looked at Qi Huaizhi and said: "Dali, Yunjing, please give me some advice."

Yunjing did not refuse Qi Huaizhi's challenge, and then he said, why should he be afraid? He wanted to kill him, and he was not stupid, but he had to fight quickly. He still had to go to meet General Yang and the others in this costume, so he couldn't destroy it.

Wind instrument.

"Little brother, you are impulsive. Why do you have to act on your own initiative? Don't care about other people's opinions. Just say something and I will help you get rid of this person." Song Mingdao looked at Yun Jing and said.

Yunjing understood that the other party had good intentions and said with a smile: "Thank you, big brother, I have a sense of discretion."

Song Mingdao nodded and said nothing. Although he wanted to help, he didn't do everything. It was obligatory for a man like him to draw his sword to help when there was injustice. After all, he was facing an enemy, but Yunjing didn't need him.

I won't insist on it anymore, the two parties are neither close nor friends.

In the distance, Li Qiu and the second prince arrived near the city gate. In addition to the two of them, there were also a group of guards following them. They were all dressed formally. After all, they were going to greet Yang Kaishan and the others, so they had to be respected, but they did not make a big fanfare.

Instead of setting up a guard of honor, the white dragon fish suit went secretly.

They noticed the movement in the cloud scene and looked over one after another.

"Huh? It's Brother Yun. It seems that the people in Dajiang want to kill him in the name of Jianghu challenge. Although it is a Jianghu style, it is a bit too much. It is a joke to 'challenge' the day after tomorrow. He is looking for death. Come and kill that person.

The people of Dajiang were crippled and thrown out of the city, don't delay the business." The second prince Xia Tao frowned and said in a deep voice after roughly understanding the situation.

He saw that Yunjing was only in the late acquired cultivation level, while Qi Huaizhi was in the middle innate level. The gap between the two sides was too big. He was worried about Yunjing's safety, so he gave the order directly. As for the rules and regulations in the world, as the second prince of Dali, how could he do it?

Do you care about this? It’s just a matter of words. Who can blame him?

He gave the order, and just as one of Zhenyijing's subordinates was about to take action, Li Qiu spoke. He bowed slightly and said with a calm smile: "Your Highness, please be patient and watch. It won't waste much time. I

That disciple will be fine."

After looking at Li Qiu and then at the calm cloud scene over there, Xia Tao nodded and signaled to his subordinates not to get involved.

Li Qiu looked in the direction of Yunjing, shook his head slightly and said, "Isn't it good to be alive..."

Over there, Qi Huaizhi saw that his plan was successful, and he grinned with murderous intent: "Young Master Yun has such courage, I admire him, but this is not the place to do anything. How about we move outside the city?"

Yunjing had already seen Li Qiu and others. He nodded as a greeting from a distance, then looked around and said with a smile: "No need to bother, it only takes a moment. Why waste that time? I have something to do later."

, right here”

It's not that Yunjing doesn't know that it's inconvenient to fight in the city, but business matters are more important.

After saying that, Yunjing said to the people around him: "Everyone, please stand far away. The sword has no eyes to avoid accidental injury."

"In that case, then Mr. Yiyun." Qi Huaizhi saw that the soldiers around him didn't say anything, so he looked at Yun Jing and grinned, saying that it would be great if he could kill Yun Jing in public.

After a pause, he continued: "Master Yun, the sword has no eyes, life and death are determined by destiny, are you ready?"

"Please", the two sides distanced themselves, Yunjing held the sword in both hands and nodded.

Qi Huaizhi did not look down on Yunjing at all, but was extremely serious in his heart. If Yunjing could accept his challenge, he must be persistent. He is not an arrogant person, and he will go all out in the future, because he is so arrogant that he does not take his opponents seriously.

Everyone here doesn't live long enough, but Qi Huaizhi is able to earn the title of Knife King, not with the knife in his hand, but with caution.

Slowly pulling out the long knife, the true energy surged from his body, and the bronze light bloomed. In the blink of an eye, a set of light and shadow armor condensed with true energy was formed outside his body. The defensive power was extraordinary at first glance. The cyan edge on the long sword was like a substance.

, the ground was silently split with cracks.
