Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 526: Seal-shaped Knife Technique

"The rules of Wind Forest Pavilion state that only the strongest disciple can sit in the position of the senior disciple.

Over ten years ago, before this Mr. Gong Ying, Wind Forest Pavilion had already confirmed the next successor, but he was beheaded by Mr. Gong Ying, who was only nineteen years old. It is said that the victory was decided within just three moves at the time.

In these ten years, Mr. Gong Ying has faced many challenges without a single defeat.

He would chop off the heads of every opponent, smear them with gold paint, and make them into tea sets to display in the alcove. It is said that his house is now filled with three walls of them.

And when Mr. Gong Ying fights, he is almost like a ghost. Ordinary people are terrified at the sight of him, which is why he has such a title. You would never want to see Mr. Gong Ying draw his blade in battle."

Hearing what the person in charge said, both employees swallowed their saliva, their faces showing fear.

At this moment, sitting in the armed vehicle, Gong Ying Changxiu was listening to the discussions about himself coming from all parts of the vehicle, with a faint smile on his face.

Guan Shangjing said, "Senior Brother is still so fond of dark humor."

"Life is all about finding some fun," Gong Ying Changxiu said with a smile. "Especially listening to legends about oneself, it's really satisfying."

Guan Shangjing was a little helpless. This senior brother of his was particularly obsessed with the stories of heroes from old times, imitating their every move, and he also had a quirk: he was keen on spreading news about himself.

He also paid special attention to the sense of ritual before battles, maximizing the atmosphere of every battle he participated in. After defeating an opponent each time, he would find someone to write a short story, making the plot of the battle between the two of them full of ups and downs.

And whenever he heard various exaggerated and bizarre rumors about himself from other people's mouths, he would become particularly excited.

Therefore, on the Outer Ocean, although the level between the three major pavilions has not widened the gap, his senior brother's reputation is the most resounding, and Wind Forest Pavilion is also the most famous along with it.

But matching his reputation is Strength.

The senior disciples of the three major pavilions have never really confronted each other, but whether it is Peace and Radiance Hall's Ye Jianhong or Wave Pavilion's Bian Yue Yizhen , their positions have never changed in twenty years.

However, Gong Ying Changxiu killed the previous senior brother. He was present when the two fought, witnessing the entire process. He deeply admired and feared this senior brother's Strength, so even though he was ten years older than the other party, he still sincerely called him Senior Brother Gong Ying.

Gong Ying Changxiu said leisurely, "Junior Brother mentioned that opponent. I have seen the Data before. Very good, he is an opponent worth fighting. Where is he now?"

"Senior Brother Gong Ying…" Guan Shangjing was a little embarrassed.

Gong Ying Changxiu said, "Junior Brother Guan Shang, you know that I must issue a challenge letter before the war. This is my rule, and I hope you can understand."

Guan Shangjing looked at the round-framed glasses, which were reflecting light, seemingly unable to see the eyes behind them, but he felt a burst of panic in his heart. Although doing so might expose the news of this senior brother's arrival in advance, there was no reasoning with Gong Ying Changxiu on this point. He immediately lowered his head.

"Senior Brother Gong Ying, please leave this matter to me."

Gong Ying Changxiu looked at him. He smiled when the latter felt a little uneasy, and said, "No need, I have already arranged it." He reached out and touched the Boundary Token. "Hui Shilang , you go in my place."

He folded his arms. "A hero's appearance cannot be so easily hasty. I hope my challenge letter will satisfy him."

"Hui Shilang…"

Guan Shangjing has been away from Wind Forest Pavilion for ten years. In his memory, Hui Shilang was just a young man. He only caught a glimpse of him just now, and he seemed to be among the crowd who came down from the airship.

He said, "It is his honor to deliver a challenge letter for Senior Brother. Senior Brother, I will send someone to lead him the way. I will definitely let him deliver the challenge letter."

Several hours later, the sky lightened. An Outer Ocean Martial Artist carrying long and short blades got out of the car and walked on the road leading to Mysterious Palace Tower.

After discovering him, City Patrol came up to check several times. Each time, he would politely stop and hand over his name card from his Martial Combat hall and his pass from Government Affairs Hall.

When faced with warnings, he respectfully stated that he was a newcomer from Outer Ocean and would abide by the rules of Central City.

He walked a short one-kilometer road for an hour. When he arrived at Mysterious Palace Tower, he asked someone to send the letter he was carrying inside, and then stood patiently on the Building's square waiting.

Chen Chuan returned to the Academy yesterday after arranging the three people. While he was Cultivation, a prompt sounded in the Boundary Token, indicating that something had been delivered.

He walked out and took the item, only to find that it was a challenge letter. The signature was Gong Ying Changxiu . The wording was very polite, saying that he had heard of his reputation in a corner of the island and yearned for it, so he had traveled across the ocean to ask for a battle.

He also wrote on it that he came from Wind Forest Pavilion, one of the three major Martial Combat halls overseas. To show his qualification, he specially sent a junior brother to demonstrate the blade technique in person.

Blade technique?

He was a little interested in this. He came to the window and glanced outside Mysterious Palace Tower, and saw the figure in black. However, after taking a look, he couldn't help but wonder if the other party could demonstrate the essence of the blade technique.

Martial Artist has a super-intuitive judgment of the opponent. Leaving aside the specific Martial Combat Skills, just looking at the posture and aura there can basically determine which level he belongs to.

And this one...

At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure walking towards there, he was slightly surprised. After thinking for a while, he turned around and left the dormitory, and came downstairs.

Hui Shilang was waiting there when suddenly a voice came from the side: "Your Excellency Hui Shilang."

He turned around and saw an Outer Ocean Martial Artist in ancient costume standing there. He thought about it, but he didn't recognize this person, so he asked in Outer Ocean language: "Who are you, Your Excellency?"

The other person bowed slightly, "Wave Pavilion, San Cheng Huang ."

"So it's Your Excellency San Cheng." Hui Shilang bowed politely to him. "Why is Your Excellency San Cheng here?"

San Cheng Huang straightened up and said, "May I ask if you are here to issue a challenge letter to Chen Jun?"

Hui Shilang "s eyes immediately changed. He said in a deep voice, "What does this have to do with Your Excellency San Cheng?"

San Cheng Huang reached out and touched the hilt of the sword on his waist, and said loudly, "Of course it matters. I was once Chen Jun's defeated opponent, and I lost convincingly. Your Excellency Hui Shilang, if you want to challenge Chen Jun, please pass me first."

Saying that, he pulled out the Long Sword from his waist.

Hui Shilang also grabbed the blade on his waist, turned around, and said solemnly: "Although the challenger is not me, Your Excellency San Cheng, I can't pretend that I didn't see such a move."

He represents the Wind Forest Pavilion behind him. Drawing a blade in front of him is regarded as a challenge, and it is impossible not to respond.

San Cheng Huang "s posture of holding the blade remained unchanged, "Then let me learn the high moves of Wind Forest Pavilion."

"Understood."

Hui Shilang looked up and said, "I am here to show Senior Brother's blade technique to Mr. Chen, but Your Excellency San Cheng, I believe that you can also let Mr. Chen see it clearly."

He drew the blade out and slowly raised it.

San Cheng Huang put the blade in front of him. After the two confronted each other for a while, they stepped forward at the same time. It seemed to be just a moment, and the two passed each other and reached the places where they had just stood.

The two stood back to back for a moment, and Hui Shilang suddenly dropped the blade to the ground, his body leaning forward, and then a pool of blood spread out under him.

San Cheng Huang exhaled, turned around, wiped the Long Sword with his sleeve, then returned the blade to its Sheathe, and bowed deeply to the corpse on the ground.

"Thank you for your guidance."

Chen Chuan had already arrived downstairs at this time. He happened to see the two people fighting when he came out of the door, but he found that Hui Shilang had turned into another person in an instant when he used the blade technique, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

After bowing, San Cheng Huang found that his chest was empty. He looked down and saw a blade mark appearing on the position of the heart, cutting through the clothes there, only a little bit away from penetrating into the body.

Chen Chuan walked over and took a look, "Mr. San Cheng, are you okay?"

San Cheng Huang quickly turned around and bowed, "Mr. Chen, I'm fine." He looked at Hui Shilang "s body and said with emotion: "That move just now should be the legendary "Seal-shaped Knife Technique'."

"Seal-shaped Knife Technique?"

San Cheng Huang nodded, "Yes, people from Wind Forest Pavilion don't pay as much attention to Spirit Cultivation as we Wave Pavilion do, but they also have Spirit Skills.

It is said that they can imprint their own blade techniques into the minds of their fellow disciples through the fusion of Spirit. Whenever they issue a challenge letter to a respectable opponent, they can let the disciple come forward to demonstrate their own blade technique on their behalf.

This is both a demonstration and a test. If the opponent can't stop it, then there is no need for a competition. If they stop it, then it means that they have the qualification to fight."

His expression was slightly solemn, "The last blade was not so much Hui Shilang "s attack, but Gong Ying Changxiu of Wind Forest Pavilion's attack. And because there was a layer between them, he could not fully show the essence of it. But if Gong Ying Changxiu had cut it himself, then I might be dead."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly, and looked at him again: "Why did Mr. San Cheng come here today?"

San Cheng Huang said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Chen, I received news not long ago that Gong Ying Changxiu has arrived in Central City. I think his target should be Mr. Chen, so I came here specially to inform Mr. Chen and ask you to be prepared to guard against it. This enemy should not be underestimated. What I just did was just to express my sincerity."

Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Mr. San Cheng, by doing this, you are standing on the opposite side of Wind Forest Pavilion. Are you not afraid of the trouble that will follow?"

"It doesn't matter."

San Cheng Huang said very sincerely: "In this world that is about to change, small individuals must choose a side to stand on, and I think," he raised his head and said loudly: "Standing on Mr. Chen's side is the right thing to do!"
