Chapter 133 Life has many crossroads, you go to Xiaoxiang and I go to Qin! Break through the cage, and become a real person!

Qinjian Mountain.

Tan Tai Yao's expression was cold and hard, his back was straight, and his whole body was filled with an extremely sharp sword intent.

The sky was as dark as ink.

The entire 'famous' Qinjian Mountain, the plank roads in the mountain, the main halls and pavilions, and the precious land 'Jiaolong Pool', are filled with blood and murderous atmosphere.

Just a while ago.

Tan Tai Yao was in Black Mountain City. He heard that the 'Xuan Qing Demon Vein' had invaded Wutong Mansion on a large scale. He was worried, but he finally took the hurdle and decided to go to Qin Jian Pavilion to face his former eldest disciple, Xu Nian, who is now the Pavilion Master of Qin Jian Pavilion.

So, he walked back together with Xu Qin, the owner of the "Qinjian Martial Arts School" in the Yanwu Street in the inner city of Heishan.

Almost as soon as the front foot arrived, the back foot.
Then they encountered "demons attacking the mountain".

It is said that

Wutong Mansion has become the territory of Xuanqing Demon Lord 'Guhua'.

It is said that

He had heard the story of the Jiaolong Pond in the Qinjian Pavilion, so in a rage, he sent the Yuandan Great Demon and thousands of demons to completely raze this sect, which was only of little fame.

However, Qinjian Pavilion is just a small and famous sect.

Pavilion Master Xu Nian is already very old. He used to be as gentle as the yellow-dressed woman who was all over the mountains and sunflowers, but now he has been worn down by the blade of time and is almost at the end of his life.

The entire sect.

There are only three or five great innate masters, and they can be counted on two hands.

Faced with such a "disaster from heaven", there should have been no room for resistance.

but,
Tan Tai Yao from Tongye Prefecture, who failed to break through the Ten Absolute Pass and knocked on the Heavenly Gate but failed to enter, is a genuine person who has reached the peak of the third step of Yuan Dan Realm and has cultivated the "Heavenly Realm".

Although, due to the damage to its foundation, it is no longer at its peak.

Can fight and gamble with ordinary Yuandan realm warriors and great demons.
There is no difference between this and killing chickens and dogs!
So when I climbed up Qinjian Mountain and saw the demons about to wreak havoc, even if I only had one arm left,
Tan Tai Yao wielded the sword skills he had honed to perfection.

As long as the fourth-step real person doesn't come, it will still be easy to kill Yuandan and behead Xiantian!
In order to break through the realm of true person, he fought his way into the 'Ten Absolute Gates' at the risk of his life. He won first place among dozens of Yuandan masters. The sword skills he cultivated by stepping on countless corpses were not just for nothing.

The two bloody corpses of giant monsters that he stepped on in front of the Qinjian cliff were proof of this.

"Master Tan Tai, the mountain is surrounded by demons. Every ten feet, there is a great innate looking at each other from afar, supporting each other. I sent disciples to investigate, and there is no place that is missed!"

“The winding paths in the front and back hills of Qinjian Mountain are all blocked!”

Xu Qin, the disciple of Qinjian Pavilion Master Xu Nian, who opened a Qinjian Dojo in Heishan City and is the leader of a branch of the sect, came hurriedly.

In front of the high cliff of Qinjian, she looked at the middle-aged swordsman who was holding the sword in one arm and looking at the group of monsters below the cliff. His face was pale, and there was admiration and despair in his eyes.

Even the body seemed to be shaking.

"Oh no! These demons are about to riot again!"

"They are going to kill us on the plank road. Go and ask the elders and Uncle Master Tan Tai to come!"

The heavenly realm opened up, covering half of Qinjian Mountain.

On the mountainside road, there was a pass guarded by a Qinjian disciple who was attacked by demons. The noise and roar reached his ears, causing Tan Tai Yao to open his eyes. He flicked his fingers, turning them into sword lights and slashing towards the mountain road.

At this time, in the dim and gloomy sky, a part of the dragon's tail appeared. Faintly, it seemed that Tan Tai Yao saw the shadow of a dragon wearing a dark green robe and with a stern brow.

Then he sighed and said:
"Where's your master?"

"I haven't seen her since I came up the mountain. It's been decades. Maybe we will all die here today."

"You don't even want to see me?"

"then."

Speaking of this, Tan Tai Yao didn't know what mood he should be in to meet this woman who was called his disciple but actually admired him.

If Qin Jiange had not suffered a disaster, perhaps, until his demise, Tan Tai Yao would not have chosen to go up the mountain, but would have chosen to find an unknown place to be buried.

"But it is true."

"She waited for me for decades, even to the end of her life span, but in the end, nothing changed."

Tan Tai Yao laughed at himself.

Seeing this smile, Xu Qin suddenly became anxious:

"no!"

"Master, she has never been disappointed."

Xu Qin, whose eyebrows and eyebrows bear some resemblance to the gentle woman from Qinjian Mountain, seemed to know something. Before coming here, her eyes were red and swollen:

"Master Tantai, Master said, Master said."

"Tell you to go down the mountain by yourself."

"You are a master of Yuandan. Even if the demons are in great numbers, as long as you fight back forcefully, it will be easy to save your own life."

"But if you want to protect all the disciples of the Qinjian Pavilion, I'm afraid... I'm afraid."

Tan Tai Yao shook his head:
"I used to be an elder of Qinjian Pavilion. The previous Pavilion Master died in front of me. This arm was also severed that year."

"It is reasonable for me to protect you disciples, but..."

"Monster Xuanqing, that evil creature Gu Hua is coming."

Silently looking up at the sky, Tan Tai Yao's eyes were bitter:

"Now, it's difficult for us to leave."

"I'm sorry, my Yuandan was damaged in Tongye Province. Otherwise, if I were in my prime, I would have opened the 'Heavenly Realm' and burned the Yuandan. Even if I had saved you, I would still be able to fight my way out."

“Not really.”

"After killing only two Yuandans, my vitality was severely damaged. I needed to regulate my breathing and recuperate. Before I could recover, I saw that unlucky old dragon!"

Standing on the high cliff, the one-armed swordsman Tan Tai Yao stood up with an indifferent look, staring at the boiling demons at the foot of the mountain. He sneered lightly, with no waves in his heart. He was ready to die and be buried on Qin Jian Mountain.

These demons suddenly became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, ignoring the fear that he had killed two Yuandans. It was simply that they had received the news that the 'Xuanqing Demon Lord' was about to come.

Ah.

Xuanqing Demon Lord.
Why could he reach the fourth step, but I, Tan Tai Yao, even with the teachings of the Ten Absolute Pass Master who is known as the 'best in Tongyezhou', still failed at the last level?
A strong sense of indignation surged in his heart. Looking at the illusory 'Gate of Heaven' that was looming in the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, Tan Tai Yao clenched his sword tightly, thinking that even if it failed, he would risk his life to charge again the moment Gu Hua descended!
However, even though this thought arose in his mind, Tan Tai Yao's heart was still full of doubts.

Even in his heyday, there was no barrier that he could break through.
Can you succeed just by risking your life?

Throughout the ages, if one only bets on one's life, one will succeed.

Then why is the fourth step so rare?
Can you do it yourself?

At this time, only a "plop" sound was heard.

Without warning, Xu Qin knelt on the ground while Tan Tai Yao was lost in thought, interrupting his thoughts:

"I'm sorry, Master!"

Tan Tai Yao frowned:
"What are you kneeling for?"

When Xu Qin heard that the 'Xuanqing Demon Lord' was about to descend, her originally anxious mood collapsed instantly. She knew that she would definitely die today and that the Qinjian Pavilion would be destroyed soon, so tears welled up in her eyes:
"Master, I actually lied to you!"

"Master had already reached the end of his life the moment you came up the mountain!"

"She wanted to use her last bit of energy to pick up the sword and kill the monster."

"But after hearing the news of your arrival, she chose to sit quietly in the 'Quiet Room' and passed away. I watched her pass away with my own eyes!"

"She didn't want me to tell you the news, she just said 'I don't want to see you'."

"But I think at this point, there's no need to bury it anymore."

Seeing Xu Qin suddenly kneeling down, Tan Tai Yao, who had stretched out his hand to help her up, suddenly his hand froze.

Is Xu Nian dead?

Crash.

Strong winds blew up from heaven and earth.

The sunflowers on the high cliff swayed in the wind, and it seemed that there was a woman in a goose yellow dress, talking and laughing, waving at Tan Tai Yao among the flowers, smiling and waving, saying that she would wait for him and his junior brother to return after they completed their cultivation.

Even if it takes ten, thirty, or fifty years, I will wait.

She did wait for more than fifty years.

But he didn't wait for me to come back.

Xu Qin's shoulders were shaking.

She cried and handed me something:
"This is a letter that Master left behind before he passed away. He asked me to deliver it to you!"

"She told me to hand it over to my Grandmaster and asked you to open it after you leave the mountain gate, but now, I'm afraid I can't wait until that time."

"Grandmaster, do you want to take a look?"

He took the yellowed wax-sealed envelope and opened it.

Tan Tai Yao's body was as steady as a rock, except for the slight trembling of his fingertips. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it clearly.

【After sixty years of separation, you are the Yuandan and I am the Xiantian. 】

[The innate life span is 100 years, but the end is coming. You have already grown old and have turned into a skeleton. Just don’t see it anymore, don’t worry about it. ]

[I have fulfilled my promise and built a brand new 'Qin Jiange'. How is it? Is it okay? ]

【It's just a pity.】

[Perhaps after today, the same mistakes will happen again. ]

【But it’s different from before. 】

[The Tan Tai Yao of today is no longer the Tan Tai Yao of the past. ]

[In the realm of heaven and man, killing Yuan Dan is as easy as cutting grass. For someone like you, it would be easy for you to establish a sect and a legacy. ]

[It’s just a pity that I can’t see it anymore and I can’t see it. ]

[I said, I like you, that's why I racked my brains in the beginning, just to become your disciple, but I have already passed away, old and ugly, how can I see you in your prime? ]

[Before returning to the ruins, I was able to get the news that you have reached the peak of Yuandan. For me, it is satisfying to see this life-long obsession come to an end.]

【With your life's 'ups and downs, magnificent' experience, keep moving forward, the future Aquarius giant, Tan Tai Zhenren. 】【From now on, there are many roads to the north and south, you go to Xiaoxiang and I go to Qin. 】

[Master of Qinjian Pavilion, Tan Tai's first disciple, Xu Nian.]

【Keep.】

Tan Tai Yao, who was already injured, felt his heart and lungs choke when he saw this. He let out a "Wow!" and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered half of the envelope.

"Master, your hair"

Xu Qin knelt on the ground, looking at Tan Tai Yao's hair in horror, which began to turn gray, as if his life span had been greatly reduced at this moment.
But his eyes made it even harder to understand.
Holding the letter, Tan Tai Yao didn't know what to say.

Every frown and smile of the once beautiful woman has long since become blurred, and just like Xie Wei, whom Tan Tai Yao once admired as a teenager, they are all buried deep in his memory.

"Where is your master's body?" Tan Tai Yao's voice was hoarse.

"She, the old lady, was cremated and passed away." Xu Qin whispered, making Tan Tai Yao even more silent.

Cremation and return to heaven.

The impression in his mind until his death was that of the woman embracing the sunflowers, not that of an old woman with faded looks.

For a time, it was regarded as a masterpiece.

At this moment,
The 'Demon King' appeared in the sky, riding on clouds and mist.

At first glance, I saw a middle-aged swordsman with a broken arm and mottled gray hair standing in front of the high cliff.

Then the sea of ​​clouds dispersed, and the laughter was full of mockery and madness:
"Tan Tai Yao from Qinjian Mountain?"

"I didn't kill you sixty years ago, so you lingered on and managed to cultivate the Yuandan. Not only did I spare your life, but you didn't even thank me. On the contrary, you killed two of my Yuandan subordinates!"

"Who gave you the courage?"

Gu Hua was wearing a dark cloak, with his eyes slightly open. The sound of his long whistle shook the demons and made the disciples of Qinjian Pavilion feel their hearts and livers shattered and their courage tremble. The demons screamed wildly and rushed to the mountain gate one after another to kill them!
"Whether I wanted to rob Xie Wei or kidnap that pretty little disciple beside you, I did it casually."

"Don't even mention the past, even now, you..."

"What can you use to fight me?!"

Xu Qin's whole body went limp. Under the 'real person's pressure', her head was buzzing and she couldn't stand up.

At this time, Tan Tai Yao half of his body blocked Xu Qin, staring at the sky, looking at the figure of the demon king.

Just like before, it seemed that nothing had changed, and the gap was even bigger, so big that even if the sword broke and the person died, it would not do him any harm.

at the foot of the mountain.

Disciples of Qinjian Pavilion fell down one after another.

Buried in the tide of demons.

"Why, do you have a new love?"

Looking at Tan Tai Yao with mottled hair and Xu Qin, who was protecting him from behind and looked to be in his twenties, Gu Hua took one step at a time, as if to break his spine, with a half-smile:

"But I am not someone who can be liked by everyone."

"Well, you kill yourself."

"This girl is also considered a great innate. After being planted with the 'slave mark', she can enter my demon palace and become a servant to my many descendants."

He held his head high and looked down upon others.

Tan Tai Yao gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and said nothing.

But the sword intent on his body became stronger and stronger.

Then, he took a big step forward!
"you say,"

Tan Tai Yao spoke softly.

"What kind of person is worthy of knocking on the gate of heaven?"

Gu Hua frowned slightly:

"you"

Then he spoke.

Tan Tai Yao's eyes suddenly opened like swords, without a trace of will to live in them. Instead, there was only the madness of the Yuan Dan running wildly, almost bursting!

“Clang, clang, clang, clang!!”

Qinjian Mountain is famous for its zither and swords.

this moment,
The broken ancient zithers all over the mountains suddenly began to play again under the influence of Tan Tai Yao's celestial realm!

at the same time,

"Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang!!"

The long swords whistled!

The zither and the sword are intertwined.

With a courage of sword and a heart of piano, he played the sword and composed a song, causing the whole "Piano and Sword Mountain" to slowly condense into a "vision"!
One of Tan Tai Yao's arms was broken.

The other arm raised the sword and knocked on the sky.

He looked at the 'Xuanqing Demon Lord' Gu Hua.

It was like looking at a haze blocking his path to heaven, a nightmare that would be difficult to get rid of in his lifetime.

"You want to break through the 'Gate of Heaven' in the midst of life and death?!"

"What a big joke!"

"Throughout the ages"

“How many people can do it?”

"The gate of heaven can only be opened up by 'obsession' and 'Tao'!"

"Do you think you can do whatever you want just by risking your life?"

Gu Hua's voice suddenly became high, he sneered with disdain, and suddenly a palm fell from the sky.

direct,

A corner of the Qinjian cliff was shaken to the point of collapse.

It fell on Tan Tai Yao, knocking him to his knees on the ground, barely breathing. It seemed as if his internal organs and even his Yuan Dan were about to collapse.

"Master, run away! That's a real person. How can a Yuandan fight against a real person?"

Seeing that Tan Tai Yao's straight spine was no longer straight, he knelt on the ground, his bloodstained hands tightly grasping the envelope.
Xu Qin cried and wanted to hold onto the corner of Tan Tai Yao's clothes, but at this time——

The middle-aged, one-armed swordsman with torn clothes still stared at the sky. He looked at the dragon demon king wearing a black cloak and with a cold expression, and suddenly laughed!

Then, he stood up shakily, and the laughter became louder and louder.
As the sword in his hand clanged, Tan Tai Yao saw an illusory "gate of heaven" above the sky, which slowly overlapped with Gu Hua's shadow!
At this moment, he raised his sword!
In my mind, the half of my wasted life all comes to mind.

The young man is full of vigor and ambition, and no one can match him in swordsmanship!
Until the girl he loved, Xie Wei, was abducted by a big monster. He practiced hard and tried to kill her, but he could only see her die. This was the first time that his soul was "covered by dust".

More than ten years later.

The big monster from Xuanqing Lake came to Qinjian Mountain to seek revenge and cut off one of his arms, which made him realize what "there are always people better than you" meant. As a result, the mountain gate was broken and he went far away. This was the second time his mind was "covered by dust".

After decades of training, he tried to use his life to knock on the "Gate of Heaven" at the Ten Absolute Passes of Tongye Prefecture. He struggled desperately, but the shadow of the monster that had fallen in front of him kept flashing in his mind.

Countless failures were caused by him.

But at this time, I wanted to reach the pinnacle by defeating other people's swords and practicing other people's ways.

Only then did he dare to draw his sword at the big monster!
Because he felt that if he hadn't achieved this step, he wouldn't even dare to draw his sword against Gu Hua, because he would definitely lose!

The moment when the door to heaven is opened
This scene flashed through Tan Tai Yao’s mind.

So, it failed as expected.

“I didn’t figure it out until now.”

"Gu Hua!"

boom!
Tan Tai Yao's eyes exploded as if containing divine power, his hair and beard were standing on end, and he had a defiant look!
The vast sword light poured out from his one arm and pointed to the sky!
The illusory gate of heaven seemed to be split open by his sword!

Tan Tai Yao's half-sleeve was originally fluttering
Suddenly, there was an arm.
Regrow!

"Why can't I, Tan Tai Yao, draw my sword and kill you right in front of you?!"

"Today, I will use my sword to slash the gates of heaven within this ten-li radius of Qinjian Mountain, and then kill you!"

"Let me ask you this,"

"Do you dare to accept it!?"

instantly,

The sword light whistled in the sky, and a human sword master ascended to the sky, split open the illusory sky gate, turned his wrist into a sword, and slashed towards that generation of demon king!
Simultaneously,

The 'rain of swords' scattered all over the sky.
The gate of Qinjian Mountain was covered with them.

Tell all the demons who climb this mountain road or plank road, no matter the first step or the second step.
All turned into ashes!
All the Qin and Jian disciples stared in amazement at the Sword Master who was holding a sword in the sky and fighting with the Demon King. At this moment, it was as if they were looking at a god.

The second 'Aquarius Rebellion'.

Wutong Mansion, Qinjian Mountain.

Elder Tan Tai Yao, who has traveled for fifty-seven years, faces his nightmare and before he turns one hundred.
The sword opens the gate of heaven and proves the truth!
at the same time.

Outside the Black Mountain, in the abyss!
The 'Immortal Nirvana Palace' was finally solidified.

Layer upon layer of 'crimson' fog gradually filled the Black Mountain, turning the deepest area into a restricted area.

It was said that

There were hunters in the mountains who saw the Black Mountain City being ravaged by evil spirits and hid in the mountains for fear of being killed by the evil spirits.

In the crimson mist, there seemed to be a strange creature stepping out of the coffin, reborn from the dead!

Until the evil spirits were driven out of Black Mountain, all things would be rebuilt.

This news,

Then it slowly spread and diffused!
