Chapter 228 Easy to catch
"Brother Dao is saying,"

The Sword Saint looked at Zhang Chu with a sharp gaze, "After Sword 23, is there still a realm of swordsmanship?"

The Sword Saint was born for the sword. After hearing the implied meaning in Zhang Chu's words, he became a little anxious.

Looking at the Sword Saint's anxious look, Zhang Chu hesitated for a moment, "I have only heard from others that the ultimate of destruction is life!"

"Then in my opinion, since there is the Sword Twenty-Three that can destroy the world, there may not be only the Sword Twenty-Three that can recreate the world!"

"Aren't destruction and vitality two sides of the same coin?"

"Two sides of the same coin?"

The Sword Master fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, "Two sides of the same coin?"

"Two sides of the same coin?"

He vaguely felt that what Zhang Chu said was right, but in his opinion, destruction was simply destruction. How could there be any life?
Seeing that the Sword Saint seemed to have entered the state of enlightenment again, Zhang Chu did not disturb him. Instead, he stood by quietly, waiting for the Sword Saint to wake up.

For Zhang Chu, the more powerful the sword art realized by the Sword Saint is, the better.

To deduce version 3.0 of the Longevity Martial Arts, one must absorb more nutrients. Only with more nutrients can the Longevity Martial Arts become more perfect.

At this moment, the sense of destruction on the Sword Master's body became increasingly strong, even spreading from his pores.

"Boom~"

The thatched hut collapsed with a loud bang, and Zhang Chu flicked his sleeves lightly, and the straw scattered all over the place.

How could a mere thatched cottage possibly withstand such a powerful sword force?
“Tap, tap, tap~”

Slightly chaotic footsteps were heard. The guards guarding the periphery heard the sound and immediately ran in.

Even though they knew that no one would go wild here because of the Sword Master, they still came to take a look when they heard the sound.

"who?"

As soon as they approached, a team of guards drew the swords at their waists and pointed them at Zhang Chu who was standing next to the Sword Saint.

Looking at the sword with a cold glow, Zhang Chu glanced at them.

Suddenly, the guards were unable to move.

"Silence!"

Then, a voice appeared in their minds, "The Sword Master is gaining enlightenment, you must not disturb him!"

The guards all looked horrified: What kind of method is this?
Now, they have no control over themselves. Even if they want to retreat, it is impossible. They can't move at all.

The sense of destruction became more and more intense, and the Sword Master's body gradually could no longer withstand the terrifying sense of destruction.

The ultimate destruction is rebirth.

Could it be that the Sword Master is going to push Sword Twenty-Three to its limit and then pursue that glimmer of hope?

However, although the Sword Saint's body is very strong now, in fact, compared with the Sword Twenty-Three who can destroy everything, his body is still too weak.

"Brother Jian!"

Seeing that the Sword Saint's body was about to fall apart, Zhang Chu had no choice but to interrupt the Sword Saint's enlightenment, "Wake up!"

The sword master who was immersed in the sword was suddenly awakened by a sound like a huge bell.

"Brother Dao,"

The Sword Master looked at Zhang Chu and smiled bitterly, "Why bother?"

After waking up, how could he not sense that his body was about to be destroyed by the sword intent of destruction?
Zhang Chu had good intentions in waking him up, but if he could die in pursuit of the sword, he would die without regrets.

"Brother Jian."

Zhang Chu shook his head slightly, but two more test tubes appeared in his hand. "It is very important to pursue the way of the sword!"

"It may even be your only pursuit in this life. However, the longer you live, the more powerful swordsmanship you will be able to pursue!"

"It's even the ultimate in swordsmanship!"

"Let's recover our body first!"

As he said that, he handed over two test tubes.

"Thank you so much, Brother Dao!"

Seeing the two test tubes handed over by Zhang Chu, the Sword Saint took them directly without any hesitation. After taking the blood and qi potion, he began to practice the longevity martial arts.

The body that was on the verge of falling apart was recovering rapidly under the effects of potions and longevity martial arts.

"Brother, brother!"

At this moment, Dugu Yifang also came galloping.

He was originally handling matters in the City Lord's Mansion, but suddenly he heard someone reporting that something had happened to the Sword Saint.

I don't have time to deal with anything else. What could be more important than the safety of the Sword Master?

Wushuang City only exists because of the Sword Saint. Without the Sword Saint, he cannot carry Wushuang City.

However, when he arrived, he saw standing there the mysterious Taoist priest whom he had met two years ago and his elder brother, Dugu Jian, sitting cross-legged.

"I've met the Taoist priest!"

Dugu Yifang was stunned at first, and then he regained his dignity as the lord of a city and the chief leader of the southern martial arts world.

"Brother Jian is fine!"

Zhang Chu glanced at Dugu Yifang who was standing there and nodded slightly, "It will be fine soon!"

"Yes!"

Dugu Yifang had a very deep impression of Zhang Chu. Whenever he thought of Zhang Chu's mysterious methods, he felt a little scared.

Many of the memories that Zhang Chu transmitted to him had already come true.

Xiongba did accept Fengyun as his disciple, and the expansion of Tianxiahui in the north was truly unstoppable.

It is estimated that it won’t take many years for them to unify the north and confront Wushuang City.

Therefore, even though there was a Sword Saint in Wushuang City, he worked even harder in practicing his skills.

He even used the Sword Saint to sit in Wushuang City and expand the power of Wushuang City towards the south.

Before, his Wushuang City was only the leader of the southern martial arts world, but now, he wants to completely annex the southern martial arts world and make Wushuang City the power.

Only in this way will he be able to compete with the Tianxiahui in the future.

In the past two years, he had thought about going directly to Tianxiahui and destroying it while Tianxiahui was weak.

However, whenever he set foot out of the southern territory, he always felt frightened.

It seemed like I could die there at any time.

It was precisely because of this that he worked harder in practicing martial arts.

Zhang Chu taught him the Qi and Blood Martial Arts, and with the supply of Wushuang City's resources, he had almost mastered it.

After breaking through one level of barriers, you can reach the level of great success.

However, perhaps it was because of his limited talent, but until now, the art of longevity martial arts was still stuck before perfection.

Now that the mysterious Taoist priest had arrived, he could just ask for advice.

The most important thing is that the mysterious Taoist priest is actually an acquaintance of his eldest brother.

The person who can catch the Sword Saint off guard and protect him must be someone with whom he has a very good relationship. Otherwise, how could that martial artist dare to allow a person with ulterior motives to protect him while he is in seclusion?
That's not seclusion, that's closing the coffin!

Dugu Yifang stood silently aside, waiting with Zhang Chu for the Sword Master to finish his training.

And with the arrival of Dugu Yifang, Zhang Chu also relaxed the ban on the guards.

"City Lord."

As soon as the guard spoke, he was glared at by Dugu Yifang, "Nothing!"

After saying this, he seemed to remember something and walked out with a group of guards.

He just arrived first, and was followed by many guards from Wushuang City.

As soon as the guards reached the gate of the mausoleum, they met Dugu Yifang who came out.

"City Lord!"

Looking at his men in front of him, Dugu Yifang waved his hands, "Nothing!" "Everyone, leave!"

"Yes, City Lord!"

Many guards retreated, leaving only a guardian from Wushuang City who came over.

"City Lord,"

The guardian walked up to Dugu Yifang, seemingly wanting to ask something.

"Martial Master,"

Dugu Yifang patted his shoulder and said, "Nothing!"

"Don't leave yet,"

Just as the guardian was about to leave, Dugu Yifang stopped him, "Wait and see what big brother has to say!"

"Yes, City Lord!"

The guardian of Wushuang City, Shi Wuzun, nodded and followed Dugu Yifang in.

However, as soon as he approached, he saw a scene that surprised him extremely.

Next to the Sword Master, stood a very unfamiliar Taoist priest.

Since when did the Dugu family cemetery allow outsiders to enter?

Subconsciously, Shi Wuzun looked towards Dugu Yifang. He did not see anger on Dugu Yifang's face, but only respect and awe.

Just from Dugu Yifang's expression, Shi Wuzun knew that the Taoist in front of him was definitely a big shot, otherwise Dugu Yifang would not have such an expression.

The two stood there waiting silently. No matter whether it was Dugu Yifang or Shi Wuzun, they seemed not qualified to sit in front of the Sword Saint.

Didn’t you see that the Taoist priest was also standing with his hands behind his back?
However, Shi Wuzun felt somewhat familiar with the appearance of this Taoist priest.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed and the Sword Master finally slowly opened his eyes.

"One party is coming!"

The Sword Saint glanced at Dugu Yifang and Shi Wuzun who was standing behind him, "I will introduce you."

"He is my good friend, Taoist Changsheng!"

"He is my younger brother Dugu Yifang, and he is the guardian of Wushuang City, Shi Wuzun!"

"I've met the Taoist priest!"

The two of them saluted quickly.

"I have met Lord Dugu before."

Zhang Chu nodded slightly, "Protector Shi, this is the first time I've seen you!"

"Martial Master,"

The Sword Master nodded slightly, "You go back first!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Shi Wuzun turned around and left.

He didn't feel any embarrassment in his heart.

The Sword Master is the true pillar of Wushuang City and the object of his reverence.

"Please sit down!"

Watching Shi Wuzun leave, the Sword Saint glanced at Zhang Chu, waved his hand slightly, and sat down on the ground.

The same is true for Zhang Chu and Dugu Yifang.

The Sword Master had long known about Zhang Chu's acquaintance with Dugu Yifang.

He knew it when he returned to Wushuang City.

Dugu Yifang changed his martial arts technique and it was the martial art of immortality. With the skills of a sword saint, how could he not discover it?

Especially since the Sword Saint himself had changed to the art of longevity martial arts, it was naturally evident.

However, the Sword Master was also happy to see this happen.

Wushuang City is his last concern, but the strength of Wushuang City's lord Dugu Yifang is too weak.

What if that day when he was practicing swordsmanship, his body fell apart under the pressure of the destructive sword intent.

With Dugu's strength, he could not defend Wushuang City at all.

Even the Dugu family couldn't defend Wushuang City, let alone the Dugu family's collateral descendants and those younger generations.

Being able to become the lord of Wushuang City, Dugu Yifang's martial arts must be among the best in the Dugu family, and he may even be the number one under the Sword Saint.

Right now, Dugu Yifang has changed his mind and practiced the martial art of immortality. As long as he is smart, he can practice the martial art of immortality to perfection.

Even if Dugu Jian's physical body fell apart due to his sword skills, the Dugu people could still defend Wushuang City.

The fact that the Sword Master was able to comprehend Sword Twenty-Three so quickly after returning to Wushuang City simply meant that Wushuang City already had a guardian.

He doesn't have to worry so much.

As for whether Dugu Yifang was a fake, Dugu Jian was not worried.

In fact, the so-called counterfeit is also a descendant of the Dugu family, just a collateral branch.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy to find a substitute that is basically identical to the original?
"Brother Dao,"

After the three of them sat down, Dugu Jian finally spoke, "I have already assigned someone to do the task you asked me to do!"

"???"

Dugu Yifang was immediately confused. What did Taoist Changsheng ask Sword Saint to do?
"It's a martial arts manual!"

Seeing Dugu Yifang's puzzled expression, the Sword Saint shook his head and pointed out directly, "How is the collection going now?"

"Brother,"

Dugu Yifang reacted, looked at the Sword Saint, and quickly said, "The martial arts secrets of the Southern Martial Arts World have been collected almost completely."

"There are only a dozen or so families with several top-notch masters who are unwilling to hand over their martial arts secrets!"

"Don't want to?"

A murderous look flashed in the Sword Saint's eyes, "Didn't you tell them that I asked you to collect them?"

"said,"

Dugu Yifang lowered his head, "But they are still unwilling to hand it over."

"It seems that I have been away from the martial arts world for a long time, and those people have forgotten the sharpness of my sword!"

A murderous intent flashed in the Sword Master's eyes, and it seemed that he really wanted to kill.

"Brother Jian,"

Zhang Chu simply waved his hand, "You don't have to do it. It will make too much noise if you do it!"

"I can do it myself!"

Martial arts classics are the foundation on which martial arts forces rely for survival. If Wushuang City did not have deep roots in the southern martial arts world, let alone those dozen or so families, basically no martial arts force would take out the classics.

In fact, most of the martial arts manuals collected by Dugu Yifang were handed over by the vassals of Wushuang City.

Everything they have, whether it is economy or military power, depends on Wushuang City. How dare they disobey Wushuang City's orders?

"Brother Dao personally took action,"

Seeing that Zhang Chu didn't seem to be joking, the Sword Saint nodded and said, "It will be easy to catch him!"

The Sword Saint also knew about Zhang Chu's strength.

Even though he has made great progress in swordsmanship, he will never be a match for Zhang Chu without using the Twenty-Third Sword Technique.

But what if I used Sword Twenty-Three?

That was just a trick to kill both parties.

He even had a vague feeling that even if he used Sword Twenty-Three, he might not be able to kill Zhang Chu.

When a master like this takes action, how could those unskilled warriors in the southern martial arts world possibly be his opponent?
