For the next few dozen days, he did morning exercises to warm up and practiced the third level of the Red Line Sword's Dark Power every day. During his free time, he would go to Yan Hongji from time to time to get some pointers, and then have a sword fight with Senior Sister Hong Miao at sunset. The days passed peacefully without any ups and downs. Xi Heng came here to find a peaceful and stable place to practice swordsmanship. During these nearly two months, he had a very pleasant time. During this period of time, Xi Heng has mastered the three-level dark energy moves by heart, and has become more and more proficient in sword fighting with his senior sister. He has already mastered several sword techniques to perfection. The senior sister also explained to her when certain moves were best used, and taught her step by step how to use them more skillfully during sword fights. This was the first time she came into contact with sword energy in this life and she didn't know much about it. But after hearing the explanation from his senior sister, Xi Heng had already vaguely understood how to use it. Senior Sister Hong Miao seemed to have fought with many dark force warriors with sword energy. In short, she had a deep understanding of this. Xi Heng felt that even if he studied for another one or two years, he would not be able to empty the other person's head of knowledge and skills. In addition to teaching each other techniques, they often chat during meals after sparring.
During this period, Xi Heng asked several questions about Senior Sister Hong Miao, which had concerned him a lot in his previous life. For example, which general in the Tianliang Army did she have a grudge against, and why? After getting along for a long time, we mentioned it from time to time in our daily conversations, and slowly figured it out. The person who made an enemy of Senior Sister Hong Miao was Liang Mangchen, who was now one of the generals of the Tianliang Army. Although he was not as famous as the Tianliang Grand Marshal Fang Tiande, he also had some military skills. For example, he participated in the capture of two of the six major cities captured by Tianliang. As for why they became enemies, it was because the other party became enemies with Senior Sister Hong Miao's master because he was trying to steal something. Senior Sister Hong Miao is an orphan from the mountains. Her only bond is her master, with whom she has a deep relationship, like mother and daughter. She is now waiting for the opportunity to avenge her master. When talking about such an in-depth topic, Xi Heng couldn't help but reveal some of his life experience... "In other words, Junior Sister is actually the legitimate daughter of the royal family of the Great Zhao Kingdom?" Senior Sister Hong Miao blinked, her eyes becoming more and more curious. "That's it." It’s just that Xi Heng feels a little resistant to the word “royal”. "If the current emperor dies, wouldn't it be my junior sister who should become the emperor?" "Yeah." Xi Heng didn't really want to admit it, but it was the fact. She has already experienced the life of an emperor in her lifetime... and she is a little tired of it. "If you have the opportunity to become the emperor in the future, don't forget me." The tone sounded like a joke: "Your Majesty, Junior Sister." Xi Heng answered helplessly: "Even if I don't become that crappy emperor, I will never forget my senior sister." …… Chapter 51: Blood Son's Murderous Intentions
"Junior sister, don't you want to be the emperor?" "I don't think so." "Why?" Hong Miao did not hide her curiosity. I remember there was such a time in a previous life. At that time, the senior sister seemed to be asking about... the matter of senior sister Zhao Qianqiu, whom the elders cared about very much. "Even if I become the emperor, I can't do anything." Xi Heng thought back to his previous days in the palace and smiled bitterly. “How could that be? Doesn’t the entire Great Zhao Kingdom belong to His Majesty the Emperor?” Senior Sister Hong Miao’s understanding of this was rather superficial. "If you can't control your ministers, you may lose your life, not to mention the whole world." Xi Heng shook his head: "The so-called emperor represents too much power. He has to be calculating and on guard all the time. He not only has to control his subordinates, but also has to fight with others to the death. He has to deal with important national affairs every day, which makes him exhausted physically and mentally..." Hong Miao tilted her head, not quite understanding. She has a high level of attainment in swordsmanship and martial arts, but does not fully understand many other areas of knowledge. Xi Heng continued: "After that, I may indeed ascend the throne once more, but before that I must have enough strength... enough to suppress the entire Great Zhao Kingdom by myself, otherwise I will still be swept away by various power struggles." Hong Miao was completely confused: "One person guards an entire country?" "Ah." Xi Heng's eyes were determined. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, the senior sister felt it was ridiculous in her heart: "Even if he is a Huajin warrior, no... even if he is the current number one in the martial arts world, he can't do such a thing, right?" Xi Heng certainly knew. Otherwise, the Huangmei Mountain warrior leader, whose strength was ranked among the top three in the martial arts world, would not have to gather so many people to rebel against the court. If one's strength reaches the level of being able to protect the country, it would be great if he could just go to the capital and seize the throne... "So." Xi Heng's eyes sparkled as if there was a candle burning in them, and he said lightly: "I need to achieve the level of Hua Jin." Even if you search the entire world of Da Zhao, you will not be able to find any trace of a true immortal or a person who practices qigong and Taoism. If she could not lock up the spiritual energy in the Blood Spirit Stone and use it for practicing Qi and cultivating immortality... she would have to push her martial arts to the limit of this world, break through the level of transformation, suppress the chaotic ancient world beneath her feet, and try to achieve immortality through martial arts. “Above the transformation energy?” Senior sister seemed a little stunned. Xi Heng glanced at her. It was the first time she saw her senior sister look so stunned. She waved her hand and said: "It's just some young people's nonsense, Senior Sister, just treat it as a joke." "Above the transformation strength..." Hong Miao obviously didn't listen to Xi Heng's last words. She looked up at the gradually darkening dusk in the west and continued:
"Since ancient times, many extremely gifted and world-renowned masters have never stopped after achieving Hua Jin in their youth, and have devoted their entire lives to Hua Jin... But even if they spend their entire lives studying, contemplating, and practicing, no one can succeed." "In order to deduce a martial art that is higher than the power of transformation, countless talented martial artists have inherited and carried forward the tradition, but in the end, they were just like meteors in the sky, flashing by and failing to achieve anything..." "Are there any warriors trying it now?" What he was talking about now was an area that Xi Heng was not very familiar with. Although she had read many legends about immortals and gods, as well as four books on Hua Jin martial arts and many martial arts fragments treasured by the royal family, she did not know much about the history of martial arts. "It is said that the purpose of the current leader of Donghuangmei Mountain to collect various methods of Huajin, peerless magic skills, and martial arts fragments is to carry forward the past, inherit the experience of predecessors, and continue to deduce Huajin." "Oh?" Xi Heng gradually became interested in Huang Meishan. Senior Sister Hong Miao shook her head: "But this is like some kind of taboo that cannot be touched. The deducers in ancient and modern times either went crazy and their blood and qi attacked their hearts, or their tendons and veins were broken..." Xi Heng didn't really care, he just thought in his heart - You can first look for the experience left by your ancestors in deducing martial arts. Although they did not succeed, it can help you eliminate some wrong paths for future work. However, this will probably be a long time in the future. After all, she is not even close to the Hua Jin level yet. What she needs now is to find or deduce a Hua Jin martial art that suits her. "It seems impossible to achieve something above the level of Hua Jin...but this has been the ambition of warriors since ancient times." Senior Sister Hong Miao hesitated, not knowing whether she should persuade Xi Heng to stop. Xi Heng looked at the other party's hesitation and smiled slightly. I didn't have much chance to see my senior sister's hesitation before. She wants to watch it for a while longer. …… The days passed by. One day, when Xi Heng finished practicing and was taking a break, he tiptoed over to where Yan Hongji was and taught her one or two more moves. The girl placed her slender five fingers under the opponent's white arms, or pinched the soft flesh of Yan Hongji's upper arm, or supported the opponent's armpits to adjust her posture and movements when dancing with the sword, and stroked her fingers across the opponent's arm, collarbone and other positions, indicating the acupuncture points and meridians through which qi and blood flowed. I have to say, it feels pretty good. Yan Hongji has developed some muscle contours and his skin is very elastic, especially in those areas where there is more soft flesh. "When you use this move, Dujuan's Bloodshed, your arms should be pointed upward and forward. It's okay to stretch them to the limit. You don't have to be restrained when using the sword. The Red Line Sword Technique is an offensive rather than a defensive sword technique... This is an old problem of yours. Remember to correct it when using other moves." After speaking, Xi Heng stroked the other person's waist with his ten fingers, half-hugged him and corrected his steps and movements. "Thank you, senior sister..." After each instruction, Hongji's face would turn red, and it was unknown what she was shy about. "No need to thank me." Xi Heng just asked seriously: "You have been in the Sword Academy for three months. Do you want to stay in the Sword Academy for another three months?" "Hmm..." Yan Hongji said with his head slightly lowered. "Why?"
Xi Heng was a little curious. He had obviously never encouraged the other party in this life, nor did he ask the other party to risk his whole life for him. I would just come closer from time to time during the daily breaks to give some guidance. Generally speaking, if no one cheered her up, someone like Yan Hongji, who was naturally hesitant, would probably just leave the Sword Academy in frustration... Just like the third life. "For, for." Yan Hongji faced Qi Xiheng, opened her mouth but did not speak, the redness on her face becoming more and more obvious. But when the two of them looked at each other, her clear grey eyes were obviously filled with affection; even before she could utter a word, her eyes had already conveyed her feelings. For my senior sister. Xi Heng didn't think much about it, but just guessed: "What did you figure out on your own?" "..." Yan Hongji pursed her lips and hummed: "I guess so." "Well, good luck." Xi Heng said a word that ancient people could hardly understand. However, considering the context, Hongji could also hear that this was a kind of encouragement, and a hint of smile appeared on his shy expression. After this short break, Xi Heng turned around and went back to practice swordplay. During this period of time, she has become much more skilled. After daily sword-fighting with Senior Sister Hong Miao, he could often hear her voice of praise, praising Xi Heng for his rapid progress and high talent. Xi Heng knew why. It was because he had killed too many people, and the sword intent in his body was more refined than ordinary dark energy. Clang—— The two swords collided and the red lines intertwined. The two girls flew naturally because their bodies stopped and shook suddenly, but their body movements did not stop for a moment. The green sword in Xi Heng's hand was as fast as the wind, and the sword light was sharp and clear. Countless sword shadows kept flying as various moves were performed. Although he only held one sword, the continuously shooting sword light seemed like multiple long swords were intersecting and slashing down. There was a hint of solemnity in Hong Miao's eyes compared to before. Xi Heng's sword moves were so fast that she had almost no time to think. The changes were constantly complicated, and it was like a rainstorm constantly attacking her. If he had used other hidden energies, facing Qi Xiheng's desperate and fierce moves, even if he didn't feel dizzy, he would definitely be confused by the sword skills and would be at a loss as to what to do. However, Hong Miao is quite familiar with the Hong Xian swordsmanship, and fights with Xi Heng every day. She is familiar with the moves in front of her and knows them like the back of her hand, so she can naturally come up with a plan to deal with them. Seeing Xi Heng's wrist move and toes shift, he knew what moves he was going to use, whether it was real or fake, and whether it was obvious or hidden. After seeing through the moves, you can either raise your sword to block, or swing your sword to deflect. But it is inevitable that it will exhaust your mind if you fight with the sword so seriously. After dozens of moves, Hong Miao finally saw a flaw. She suddenly turned her wrist and used her strength to deflect Xi Heng's sword. The slightly reddish blade pointed at the opponent's neck. The violent attack suddenly stopped, and the girl in front of him froze all of a sudden.
"Hu..." Hong Miao put the sword back into the sheath: "That's enough for today." "Why can't I beat my senior sister..." Xi Heng pouted. She had almost used up all her strength just now in swordsmanship. However, Senior Sister Hong Miao would still suddenly hit his weak spot as usual. "It's becoming increasingly difficult for me to defeat you." Hong Miao shook her head and said:
