Chapter 287: Dao Palace Moon [Two in One]

Outside the courtyard, Zen Master Yun looked at Taoist Feng and asked, "You arranged this, right? Otherwise, how could your disciple, who had just left the Devil Valley, dare to challenge the Xuanmen disciples so easily?"

"Humph." Taoist Feng said angrily, "I just encouraged him to break his inner demons."

The scholar did not lie. This action was indeed to help him break the evil in his heart so that he would not be hindered in his spiritual practice when he thought about it in the future.

But without Master Feng's encouragement, he would definitely not dare to do so.

As for whether there was a little bit of revenge in Master Feng's heart after Liang Yue's revenge shattered his heart, it was hard to say.

In short, Liang Yue heard these words as soon as he stepped into the yard.

"Ah?" He looked at the scholar in front of him, "You challenge me?"

At first glance, this statement does seem a bit outrageous.

"That's right." The scholar asked, "Young Master Liang, you've come at the right time. I wonder if you can give me this opportunity?"

"Don't look for him, I'll fight you one-on-one." Wen Yifan stepped forward and said.

She stood between the scholar and Liang Yue, her slender figure was like a mountain, giving people a sense of security.

But after reacting, Liang Yue still took a few steps, reached out and patted her shoulder, and said, "It's okay, I can do it."

While the two were talking, they stood side by side. Looking at the scholar opposite them, Liang Yue said loudly: "I accept your challenge!"

Wen Yifan looked at him, "You..."

Liang Yue looked at her and smiled, "I can."

Wen Yifan paused and nodded gently: "Yeah."

She believed that Liang Yue would not do anything rash.

Qi Yingwu looked at the subtle and harmonious atmosphere between the two of them, glanced at Chen Xuanjiu, and the expression on his face was probably... You see, let me tell you.

Chen Xuanjiu's eyes also looked slightly mischievous, as if he was saying... Amitabha, it is true.

"Thank you, Mr. Liang." The scholar thanked him immediately.

Their challenge was good for him, but not good for Liang Yue. Liang Yue was willing to agree, and he was overjoyed.

"We can't perform here, and we shouldn't damage the Taoist palace's buildings. Let's go to the forest valley in the back mountain." Liang Yue took the initiative to say.

The scholar looked at his back as he turned and walked away, thinking to himself that this Young Master Liang seemed to be a truly upright and thoughtful person, and that he might have been forced to do so when he fought with him before.

At that time, I was seriously possessed by the devil, and he could think of such a tactic to deal with me. Although from my perspective, I felt extremely aggrieved and angry. But from the perspective of these young people, it actually showed that he was very intelligent.

Thinking of this, the depressed feeling that had arisen at the time of thinking about it was somewhat relieved.

The scholar had already secretly made up his mind that as soon as he had the upper hand, he would stop fighting and call it a draw, so as not to disappoint Young Master Liang.

After all, they are going to fight the battle to capture the city on behalf of Yin Dynasty, which is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Their own temporary cultivation is not worth mentioning.

Although he has been trapped in the Demon Valley for a hundred years, he still has a clear conscience, which is why the Dao Palace is willing to spend a lot of effort on him.

Liang Yue's confidence also aroused everyone's curiosity. They came to the forest valley in the back mountain together. There were towering ancient trees and lush shade here. The valley was filled with the sound of wind blowing through the forest.

The scholar and Liang Yue were separated by a distance of several dozen feet, facing each other from a distance and bowing to each other.

"Young Master Liang, I'm sorry."

"Brother Zhang, you can do whatever you want. Don't worry." Liang Yue replied with a smile.

……

There are two reasons why Liang Yue accepted this challenge.

First, as the other party said, if it would leave him with a demon in his heart, that was not what Liang Yue wanted. If a fight could eliminate the other party's demon, Liang Yue would be happy to do it. Whether he won or lost, he would not have any psychological barriers.

Secondly, he also saw that the opponent had lost his demonic energy and his strength had dropped significantly. It just so happened that he had the innate chaotic energy and was just about to spar with someone, but at this time a very strong opponent came, so how could he refuse?

The scholar raised his hand and said, "Young Master Liang, please make the first move."

"Okay, thank you for giving in." After all, the opponent was stronger, and Liang Yue was not humble. Since the scholar asked him to attack first, he took the lead.

Liang Yue concentrated his mind and gathered his energy, and then... turned around and ran!
The moment the scholar saw Liang Yue turn around, he was dazed for a moment. Was this scene somewhat similar?

But now I am no longer bound by the demon-suppressing soldiers, what's the point of you running away?

Although he was confused, he still chased after him. If he didn't, the fight would have ended.

But he suddenly jumped up and turned into a black wind and chased after him.

Seeing the distance between the two sides closing rapidly, Liang Yue suddenly turned around and slashed out with a sword! Da Wenyue!
The power of this sword shocked everyone present, it was so strong.

They had all seen Liang Yue's sword moves before, and the power of his sword moves surged at this time, which was naturally due to the sublimation of his Qi. It seemed that he had not eaten so many Daoyuan fruits in vain.

boom--

Arcs of blood-red light covered the sky, and the scholar's figure was instantly covered and chopped to the ground.

Although the attack hit the target, Liang Yue did not think that this alone could defeat the opponent. He just paused for a moment.

Sure enough, a black wind suddenly rushed out from the dust and smoke, rushing towards Liang Yue fiercely.

The scholar's body was damaged, but his energy was still strong, and the speed of his attack was very fast. But Liang Yue turned around and a shadow flew dozens of feet away and went up to the sky!

Earlier, when he still had the devilish energy in his body, he was just a hair's breadth away from catching up with Liang Yue who had escaped into the sky. This was because the devil had no magical powers and only relied on brute force to attack.

Now that the demonic energy has been suppressed, Liang Yue's Shang Qingtian is actually further away. As one gains while the other loses, it is naturally easier to get rid of him.

After a strike up to the sky, Liang Yue moved at an extremely fast speed. He turned around and attacked with the sword with the longest range, Da Wen Yue!
Compared with the Small Wen Yue which has stronger single-target power, the Big Wen Yue Zhan may not cause as much damage to the enemy, but it has the advantages of longer distance, larger coverage area, and is more reliable.

While chasing Liang Yue, it was difficult for the scholar to dodge such an overwhelming sword and he was directly chopped down again.

This time, after he landed, he did not rush to chase after him immediately, but began to think.

Liang Yue seemed to be using this tactic to wear him down again and again. Although his body was strong and he did not lose his ability to move even after being hit by two swords, if he continued to be hit by such swords, no matter how strong his body was, it would not be able to withstand it.

But if he didn't chase, Liang Yue's sword attack was much farther than his physical attack, and he couldn't touch him at all. On the other hand, if he ran away, Liang Yue would catch up very quickly.

I can only keep chasing.

Use your own body to withstand the opponent's sword energy, and consume it until his internal energy is exhausted and he can no longer use it.

It was no wonder that he hadn't thought of it before. Who could have thought that he, a warrior, would suddenly transform into a Qi Refiner and start to strike with his sword from a distance? Moreover, compared to the previous time in the cave, his escape speed was also greatly increased.

The scholar thought he had unlocked the seal and could avenge his previous shame, but who knew the version would suddenly be updated?

Fortunately, the Shang Qing Tian and Da Wen Yue sword moves Liang Yue performed were extremely energy-consuming sword moves, and his strength would be exhausted soon.

That's right.

That's all.

The scholar immediately made a plan and flew forward again, I don’t believe you won’t be tired!

……

After half an hour, the scholar was lying on the ground in a mess, covered in blood. He stared blankly at the sky and murmured, "You really don't get tired..."

"Hehe." Liang Yue, who was not far away, smiled, "Thanks to the gift from the Dao Palace, my cultivation has improved slightly."

After digesting so many Daoyuan Fruits, even though the greatest effect of this thing itself is not to replenish cultivation, Liang Yue's realm has also improved. Now he is very close to the late fifth realm. This period of time can be described as rapid growth.

But the main reason why the battle lasted so long was not because of the improvement of cultivation, but because the innate chaotic energy was too pure.

Consuming the same amount of energy, he could release three to five sword moves before, but now he can release thirty to fifty times, so he can naturally last longer. In fact, by now, his energy is almost exhausted. If he shows a little weakness, the opponent may be able to stand up and fight for two more rounds, and the outcome may not be certain.

That's why Liang Yue always behaved very calmly.

It was not easy to defeat an opponent whose physical body was much stronger than one's own, but it was done in the end.

"I lost..." The scholar wanted to cry but had no tears.

When the fight started, he finally understood why Liang Yue didn't fight in the yard, but had to run to the back mountain.

The land here is large and open!

In the yard, there were many obstacles for him to escape, and if he was blocked a little, he might not be caught up. Here, he ran around the mountain, and he could not be touched at all.

Thinking about it this way, Liang Yue had already thought of the tactics to deal with himself the moment he accepted the challenge?
Such a mentality is truly terrifying.

This kid looks righteous and is better at scheming than anyone else. It’s not unfair that I lost.

only……

I only hit him half way in total, and I lost twice for no apparent reason. It was really frustrating.

Originally I would feel uncomfortable whenever I thought about the time I was beaten up. Now, the memories of being beaten up have increased.

The people who had been watching from behind were speechless. The process of Liang Yue defeating the scholar really made them feel a chill down their spines. If they were beaten like this twice in a row, they would have collapsed on the spot.

It would be fine if I couldn't beat him, but I couldn't touch him and was beaten like this for nothing. It was really...

And how is it that Liang Yue is always able to find the enemy's weak spot at the first opportunity and use his own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses at the first opportunity?

An idea arose in everyone's mind at the same time, that is, it is better to fight Wen Yifan than to provoke Liang Yue.

If I fight with Wen Yifan, I will lose, and at most I will be hurt physically. But if I fight with Liang Yue, I will not be able to get any better mentally.

After leaving, the scholar staggered to the front of Taoist Feng and said hesitantly: "Master, I am incompetent and failed to win."

"Alas!" Taoist Feng looked distressed. He and Zen Master Yun had just watched the whole process from afar and really wanted to get involved in the fight themselves. "Just fight with him. If you fight, you'll have a chance."

"I've been pulling it." The scholar also felt quite aggrieved.

Zen Master Yun smiled and said, "Don't blame him. Liang Yue is indeed extraordinary. If you want to suppress him once, it seems that you can only wait for Jilei Temple to take action."

……

We will leave Qingyang Taoist Palace tomorrow, and we will gather in the courtyard tonight.

There was a barbecue grill in the yard, and everyone was grilling various skewers and drinking and singing.

Liang Yue sat on the roof, looking at the full moon in the sky. In front of him was the vast valley and green mountains, which made him feel relaxed. "I have been busy these days, but this is the first time I sit here and quietly enjoy the scenery of the Taoist Palace."

"This is your first time. We have been enjoying it here for three days." Yan Shenbing came over with a handful of barbecue and handed it to him.

"Thank you, Brother Yan." Liang Yue took it, glanced at it, and felt that the thing on it was a little strange. He asked, "What are you baking?"

"Grasshopper." Yan Shenbing said.

"I'm not hungry." Liang Yue handed the barbecue back.

"There is also a centipede here." Yan Shenbing said again.

"I'm even fuller." Liang Yue quickly pushed him away.

Yan Shenbing looked at me as if he couldn't appreciate delicious food, and took a bunch of skewers and went to give them to others.

I have to say, he is a nice guy and is willing to share any delicious food.

But sometimes, being selfish isn't a bad thing.

"When it comes to food, big brother has some unique preferences." Lin Fenghe said on the side.

Liang Yue looked at him who was sitting not far away and said with a smile: "I rarely sit and chat with Senior Brother Lin."

"Yes." Lin Fenghe nodded, "You rarely go to the roof."

What I mean is that I could see you on the roof in the morning... Liang Yue couldn't help but smile.

Lin Fenghe looked up at the moon in the sky and suddenly said, "Actually, I never knew... how to get along with people since I was a child, so I always hid in high places. After entering the Zhuxie Yamen, although I got along well with everyone, I still have this habit."

This was the first time Liang Yue heard him express his true feelings like this. Maybe it was because he came late and was not familiar with Lin Fenghe, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. People who want to communicate with you will naturally come to the roof to find you."

Before he finished his words, Wen Yifan flew onto the roof and sat next to him.

"Senior Sister Wen." Liang Yue's body suddenly stiffened.

Looking back, Lin Fenghe's figure disappeared in an instant.

Oops.

Running so fast.

I don't know why he ran though.

Suddenly, only Liang Yue and his partner were left on the roof. Wen Yifan looked at him and asked, "Why don't you go downstairs to eat?"

"The scenery here is nice, I want to see more." Liang Yue replied.

"I heard that you agreed to work for the Ministry of Justice with Liang Fuguo." Wen Yifan said, "Then after the Evil Punishment Department is disbanded, will you still stay in the court?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Liang Yue said truthfully, "I want to decide after the mission of the Evil Slaying Division is completed."

Wen Yifan nodded and said nothing.

After a pause, Liang Yue asked again: "Senior Sister Wen, when you were hit by the Seven Emotions Curse before, do those things have any impact on you now?"

This was a question that he had always had in his heart, because although Wen Yifan had recovered his supreme immortal body during this period, he still felt a little strange.

It seemed that she was the same as before most of the time, but at certain times it seemed as if the Seven Emotions Curse had not dissipated.

"Hmm..." Wen Yifan thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

I don’t know. Then I don’t know.

Liang Yue did not ask any more questions. The two of them sat there side by side, their backs blending into the bright moon in the sky, like a beautiful picture.

There seems to be a melodious flute sound in the air, let the moonlight illuminate you and me...

Yan Shenbing walked over and handed Qi Yingwu a bunch of skewers, "Stop playing the flute and come and eat something."

Qi Yingwu put down the flute in his hand, took a look at the skewers in his hand, and immediately said, "I'll just enjoy the view and eat later."

Having said this, he immediately started playing again.

"Oh." Yan Shenbing sighed. After sending them around, he didn't give out a single skewer. It was really a pity that he had to enjoy this delicious grilled centipede alone.

Not long after, Monk Yuansheng got drunk again and wanted to challenge Chen Xuanjiu. Shang Yunhai was the only one who tried to stop them from fighting, sweating profusely. Yan Shenbing and his three sworn brothers wanted to watch the fun, and they started fighting while grilling skewers.

Liang Yue sat next to Senior Sister Wen, enjoying the tranquility with a hint of throbbing. At this time, let alone a fight below, even if someone beat up his master below, he would not be able to move.

Under the stars and the moon, the courtyard was a mixture of bustle and tranquility. No matter what new journey tomorrow would bring, there was no need to think too much tonight.

The flute sounds like flowing water.

Young people with great ambitions do not worry about anything.

　Good morning.
