Chapter 235: Third on the Heavenly Ranking, Fairy Yaoguang!
"Sir, please spare my life"
Zhang De fell to the ground and begged for mercy, but as soon as his voice came out, he was torn apart by the raging wind.
When he could see Song Changming's face clearly, the strong wind around him had turned into a small tornado, sweeping everyone including the entire deserted village into the sky.
When it fell again, only ruins and debris were left on the ground.
The strong wind subsided and the world became clear.
"Sir, Qingqing has let you down." Su Qingqing lowered her head and said in frustration.
She felt guilty for failing to see the trap and letting Song Changming come to rescue him personally.
"I'm not disappointed." Song Changming lowered his head and looked at the girl he had been with for five years.
"You are only thirteen years old. When I was your age, I was not even a martial artist. You are already ahead of too many people, so there is no need to rush.
Having this experience is a good thing for you, at least it makes you understand the dangers of the world."
Song Changming comforted her with a few words, which made the girl feel much better.
As for Zhang De's group, Song Changming didn't take another look after they were destroyed by him.
At most, Song Pingan will be asked to investigate one or two later to see if there are any other remnants that need to be eradicated.
"Let's go back."
"Yes, sir!"
The mountain col is not too far from Wangyue County. It didn't take long for the two of them to return to the official road. Wangyue County was vaguely visible in the distance.
Suddenly, Song Changming glanced out of the corner of his eye and stopped.
On the official road, a man riding a black horse approached him, approaching slowly.
This person is clearly Nan Chenguang, the young master of Jianya.
There are many stories about the love and hatred between the two of them circulating in the world. The descriptions are vivid and lifelike, and there are various versions.
It was as if the two of them were the most powerful twins in the world.
But in fact, the two of them only had a brief encounter during the extraterritorial invasion five years ago.
Apart from this, there is no story between the two, and many rumors are just rumors in the world.
Song Changming had an impression of the young master Jianya in front of him.
Speaking of which, Su Qingqing next to him also had an impression of Nan Chenguang. When she was forced by the Corpse Refining Sect member, she even used a pupil technique on Nan Chenguang, which put Nan Chenguang in danger.
Seeing Nan Chenguang again, Su Qingqing shrank a little and her eyes were a little dodgey.
After all, she did cause Nan Chenguang to almost die back then, and she was worried that, like Zhao De, he was here to seek revenge this time.
However, this time, Nan Chenguang didn't take a second look at the girl, and all his attention fell on Song Changming.
"I came here today to invite you to a fight." Nan Chenguang's eyes were calm and he went straight to the point, directly stating his intention.
When he arrived at Wangyue County, he learned that Song Changming happened to be out, so he simply waited outside the city.
Both of them are top players on the Heavenly Ranking. Their duel with each other would be too noisy, and they are not suitable for fighting in the city.
If we really want to draw a battlefield, it will definitely have to be outside the city.
"Invite to fight?"
Song Changming was not very happy and shook his head: "I won't answer."
It's not that he is timid, it's just that he really has no interest in confronting Nan Chenguang.
Five years ago, he might still be interested.
But now that five years have passed, his strength has improved too much. It's not that he doesn't look down on Nan Chenguang, it's that he bullies the younger one.
Now Nan Chenguang is not even thirty years old, but he is already over forty.
There is more than ten years difference between them.
If Nan Chenguang was given more than ten years of training time, and the two were similar in age, Nan Chenguang might be able to fight with him given his martial arts qualifications.
Now.
Not to mention anything else, with the terrifying strength tempered by his body, and the immense power of the Eight Elephants that he possesses, even ten Nanchenguangs could not withstand it at the same time!
Nan Chenguang didn't seem surprised that Song Changming would refuse. He took something out of the bag on the side of the horse and threw it directly to Song Changming.
"Hmm!" Song Changming looked at the thrown object and his heart moved.
"I know your rules, this is a bet." Nan Chenguang said calmly.
Obviously, he didn't just challenge Song Changming.
Before coming here, he knew about Song Changming's past and knew that Song Changming didn't like ordinary competitions. Only by adding a bet that satisfied him could he stimulate his interest and agree to the duel.
Therefore, he came prepared and prepared a bet that Song Changming could not refuse.
In this regard, Song Changming just wanted to say one thing, boy, you are such an accurate judge of people!
What was thrown was a picture scroll!
It is very similar to the scroll that Liang Zhaolong had fetched for him before. When he opened it, he saw that the scroll contained a scene of stars, rivers and bright moon, fully displaying the mystery and vastness of the universe.
Chu's third-grade Zhengyang Jue is hidden in two scrolls.
The paintings of mountains and rivers are called earth scrolls, and the paintings of stars and rivers are called heaven scrolls.
There was a turmoil in the palace, and two scrolls were lost.
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Scroll in it was obtained by Nan Chenguang from Jianya!
He never thought that Nan Chenguang would use this scroll as a bet chip and put it in front of Song Changming.
Let Song Changming have the opportunity to collect the two volumes of Heaven and Earth and learn the third-grade Zhengyang Technique!
"Did you know that I have another volume?" Song Changming couldn't help but ask after confirming that this galaxy painting was authentic.
"I have the Galaxy Painting. Just ask the Golden Gate and you will know the traces of the Mountain and River Painting. I am not interested in this martial art, but I think you should want it." Nan Chenguang said slowly.
It is not difficult for him to investigate this information.
And as a descendant of Nan Wuji, he can obtain all the inheritance from Jian Ya and his father, so he really doesn't think much of the Chu family's martial arts inheritance.
Practicing this Zhengyang Jue is a waste of time for him and delays his right path.
"Do you know how to open the martial arts secrets with this scroll?" Feeling that Nan Chenguang is well-informed, Song Changming couldn't help asking.
"The scroll is not an ordinary thing. It comes from the ancient Yuan country thousands of years ago. It will reveal the martial arts secrets after being refined by fire." Nan Chenguang did not hide it and directly gave Song Changming the secret of the scroll and the key to open this treasure house.
For him, these are all insignificant things.
Song Changming took a deep breath and put away the scroll.
At this moment, he looked at Nan Chenguang much more favorably.
From now on, whenever this kid wants to come and compete with him again, he will accept it.
After all, this gift is too precious.
Nan Chenguang saw the change in Song Changming's expression, and couldn't help but frowned, saying unhappily: "Do you think you have won for sure?"
"Not really, after all, you have to compete to know whether you win or lose." For the sake of the scroll, Song Changming did not directly attack the other party.
"Since you have agreed, let's find a place to start." Nan Chenguang said, riding towards the mountains on both sides of the official road.
"Take this scroll back to the city." Song Changming handed the newly obtained scroll to Su Qingqing and asked her to take it back first.
As a bet, Nan Chenguang didn't seem to care much about the ownership of the scroll and had no intention of taking it back.
He went down the mountain this time just to compete with Song Changming.
Other things are not important.
The two of them found a mountain at random and stood opposite each other.
The mountain is full of vegetation, lush and green, with giant trees standing in the forest. There is also a small stream flowing down from the mountain, which stretches along the rocky waterbed along the way.
The scenery here is quite beautiful, so beautiful that Song Changming feels it would be a pity to destroy it.
Two horses stopped in the distance, leisurely lowering their heads to eat grass, not caring about the duel between their masters.
At the same time, on a peak nearly a thousand meters high, a man with a calm temperament was sitting there, quietly watching the two people in the mountains not far away.
He also had a wine gourd in his hand, and after opening the lid, the aroma of wine filled the air.
The man was none other than Nan Chenguang's father, the Sword Master Nan Wuji!
He looked at Song Changming with interest in his eyes.
"When will the great Sword Master care about the competition of the younger generations?"
Suddenly a female voice came from the top of the mountain.
"Long time no see, Fairy Yaoguang." Nan Wuji said slowly.
"It's indeed been ten years." The female voice spoke and responded.
The next moment, beside Nan Wuji, a woman in fairy clothes appeared, as if falling from the sky.
The woman is somewhat similar to Fairy Yuehan.
But Fairy Yuehan looks more cold and beautiful, while the woman in front of him has a gentle and soft look between her eyebrows.
This person is the current owner of the Moon Viewing Pavilion, Su Yaoguang, also known as Fairy Yaoguang.
In the Heavenly Ranking, she ranks third!
