Volume 17: The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword (Part 2) Chapter 417: Master and Disciple (VII)
June.
In the room, Li Bufu was meditating.
Shangguan Jinhong was in seclusion, and Li Bufu had almost entered a state of seclusion and cultivation.
Su Weiyun was surprised by how serious and hardworking he was.
"Okay, Bu Fu, you have practiced enough internal energy today, you don't need to circulate your true energy anymore."
Li Bufu was sitting cross-legged in the room, his body was red and it looked like there were piles of flames burning on his skin, which looked a bit scary. His forehead and back were covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Master, if I don't practice hard, how can I help you fulfill that three-year agreement?"
The date of Su Weiyun and Li Xunhuan’s “three-year agreement” is not far away, and there is not much time left for Li Bufu.
Moreover, Li Bufu still didn't know who his opponent was at this time, and the invisible pressure brought to him by this unknown situation was even greater.
Su Weiyun taught: "The Wedding Dress Divine Art you practiced is one of the most masculine and domineering mental methods in the world. It is eager for quick success and quick gains, and you practice it very quickly. If you don't control it well, you will inevitably burn yourself to death!"
Upon hearing this, Li Bufu immediately stopped practicing, and with a start, he sat up from the room and said, "Then I'll take advantage of this moment when my Qi and blood are flowing freely and quickly go to the yard to do a few rounds of boxing!"
After he said that, he ran out of the house quickly and disappeared in a flash.
Su Weiyun shook his head. Even when he was practicing martial arts, he was not as diligent as this disciple.
"Be careful, don't overexert yourself and hurt your bones!"
Su Weiyun had just gone out and was about to go to the courtyard to take a look, but suddenly he stopped, looked in one direction, and said, "Venerable Tianji?"
He was looking at a wall, and a man outside the wall responded with a smile, "I can't hide it from you."
Although the two were separated by a stone wall, they both sensed each other's aura and knew each other's identities.
In the blink of an eye, old man Tianji appeared in the yard. He had changed into plain clothes, light cloth shoes, and tight leggings. He no longer looked like a storyteller.
"It's been more than two months. If you don't show up, I will suspect that Shangguan Jinhong is the one who did it!"
Elder Tianji said: "A Fei was seriously injured. I used ancient prescriptions to treat him for two months, and he finally returned to his previous state."
Su Weiyun said: "Lin Xian'er's lethality is much greater than we imagined."
Elder Tianji said: "There is another person who is even more powerful."
Su Weiyun asked: "Who?"
"Shangguan Jinhong!"
Su Weiyun laughed and said, "Shangguan Jinhong is already very powerful, so there is no need to say more. It is said that he has been in seclusion, and the martial arts world has been quiet for two months."
Elder Tianji suddenly asked seriously, "Do you know why he is in seclusion?"
Su Weiyun said nonchalantly: "Perhaps after seeing Lu Fengxian's swordsmanship, I also understood some changes in the Thirteen Deadly Swords."
"I think he originally sent those 'essences of swordsmanship' to Lu Fengxian through Lin Xian'er in order to use him as a chess piece, because at that time, he was still my friend."
Elder Tianji agreed, "Yes, only friends can secretly learn your swordsmanship. People who are not friends will only die under your swordsmanship!"
Su Weiyun sighed: "It's a pity that the hearts of old friends are easily changed."
Elder Tianji asked again, "How long do you think it will take Shangguan Jinhong to comprehend and master your swordsmanship?"
Su Weiyun said: "Shangguan Jinhong's realm is the same as mine, but if he doesn't have other opportunities for enlightenment, it will probably take him another three to five years to comprehend the Fifteenth Deadly Sword, maybe seven or eight years."
Old Man Tianji said word by word: "Unfortunately, there are some coincidences in this world that cannot be more coincidental!"
Su Weiyun stared and asked, "What opportunity?"
Elder Tianji said: "Shangguan Jinhong's son died. He was very stimulated and killed all the first-class swordsmen he had invited from all directions in one fell swoop !"
"I didn't expect that he actually had such deep feelings for his son!"
Su Weiyun seemed to have thought of something and asked, "He killed sixteen top swordsmen by himself? He used a sword?"
Elder Tianji said, "That's right! And I've seen those corpses. They were all killed with one sword strike. There was no drag at all!"
"I think that's probably the fatal fifteenth sword you mentioned!"
Su Weiyun was surprised and asked, "You have seen those corpses? Did you see them when you went to the Money Gang?"
Elder Tianji nodded and said, "The bodies were randomly thrown into the mass grave outside the Jinqian Gang. This can only mean that Shangguan Jinhong no longer cares whether the sword wounds on the bodies will be discovered and the secret will be discovered by others."
——If a person has the ability to control the overall situation, he will certainly not care about these details.
Su Weiyun was in deep thought, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard a woman's scream in the yard.
"Ah! Help!"
The voice first exclaimed, then became extremely panicked and fearful.
"Su Weiyun, come and save me, your apprentice is going to kill someone!"
Su Weiyun's expression moved, and he jumped high. After a few jumps, he was in the yard in an instant.
He took a quick look and saw that Li Bufu was holding a steel knife in his right hand, with bright red blood dripping from the blade, and his clothes were also splashed with blood.
The person who called for help earlier was Lingling.
She was kneeling on the ground at this moment, supporting herself with her hands, her chest was red, and she was gasping for breath.
A delicate long sword fell in front of her, it was knocked down by Li Bufu.
Su Weiyun landed between the two and asked, "Bu Fu, did you hurt her?"
Ever since Lu Fengxian left, Lingling has been under strict supervision by Su Weiyun and Sun Xiaohong. On weekdays, she is only used as a "sparring partner" for Li Bufu, and her freedom is restricted at other times.
At this time, Sun Xiaohong went out to buy vegetables, and Su Weiyun ran into Old Man Tianji. No one was watching the duel between Li Bufu and Lingling, but this kind of thing happened unexpectedly.
Su Weiyun stared at Li Bufu and asked, "Why did you hurt Lingling?"
Li Bufu answered seriously: "Sister Xiaohong has always told me to be careful of this Lingling. She is Lin Xianer's maid, and she has also learned Lin Xianer's viciousness!"
Su Weiyun frowned deeply and said, "But you don't have to kill her!"
He was so experienced that he could tell at a glance that the blow Li Bufu had chopped on Lingling's chest was definitely intended to kill her!
Lingling must have been alert and hid quickly, otherwise she would have died!
Li Bufu saw Su Weiyun's expression so serious for the first time, and couldn't help blushing, but still said: "She is not a good person, I want to kill her!"
Su Weiyun asked: "Have you always wanted to kill her?"
Ling Ling trembled and said, "He...he must have wanted to kill me a long time ago. I accidentally heard him say that he had to sacrifice blood to make a further move!"
Li Bufu's martial arts improved rapidly. Just over two months ago, he was no match for Lingling.
Elder Tianji also came over and shook his head, saying, "Sacrificing a knife with blood is a magic technique of the Demon Cult. How could he do it at such a young age?"
Li Bufu hurriedly defended himself, "Lingling slandered me again. I don't know anything about the sword sacrifice technique. I just heard about it from others..."
"What did you say?"
"When I was a disciple of the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva, I heard someone say that when a killer warrior fights an ordinary warrior, even if their martial arts skills are similar, the killer will have the upper hand!"
Those who dare to kill are of course more brutal and more vicious, and they have a better chance of winning in a fight!
Su Weiyun also came to this point step by step by starting with "killing people" .
Li Bufu's eyes suddenly became firm and pure, and he said: "Master has been very kind to me, I must help him win the 'three-year agreement' between him and Li Tanhua, so please allow me to kill this witch!"
Lingling is not a witch.
Although she is a bit bad and often lies, she cannot be called a "witch".
But Li Bufu said it very fluently, and it was obvious that he had said it countless times in secret.
Su Weiyun let out a long sigh.
He understood that Li Bufu was not gossiping, but he wanted to forcibly give Lingling a "bad name" so that he could kill her with a clear conscience.
He said this to himself on purpose in order to have the courage to kill someone.
Su Weiyun suddenly said, "Venerable Tianji, please help Lingling heal her wounds."
Elder Tianji said: "Then you..."
Su Weiyun said: "I thought the relationship between me and my apprentice was much better than that between Shangguan Jinhong and Jing Wuming, Long Xiaoyun and Long Xiaoyun, Li Xunhuan and A Fei, Guo Songyang and Guo Ding."
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and his expression kept changing, as if he had gone from the boundless ocean to the vast earth, as if his heart had suffered a great shock and impact.
He thought of Jing Wuming, then Long Xiaoyun, and then Tang Du, but the last person he thought of was Guo Songyang's cousin Guo Ding, a stranger he had never met before.
Su Weiyun smiled bitterly and said, "Now it seems that this is not the case."
"My apprentice is burdened with my difficult tasks, which I should have done myself. It is really unfair to him."
Although Su Weiyun had no children, she suddenly understood the feelings of those parents who wanted their sons to become successful.
They want to get their children to accomplish things that they were unable to do before, so as to gain a kind of vicarious satisfaction.
This is helpless and even more sad.
Su Weiyun suddenly strode out of the door, muttering, "Isn't it just the top three on the weapon list? Can't I get it myself?"
"Instead of letting my apprentice kill people against his conscience, I would rather let the world see how I, the master, kill people! Could it be that my killing skills could be even worse?!"
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Su Weiyun's receding figure.
He also began to talk to himself.
And it seems like what he said was a lot of nonsense.
