Chapter 227 A Thrilling Battle

On Yanchi Island, where Zui Xia lives, Chen Ping finally got in touch with Su Qianqian.

Now, the situation over there is that Su Xixi is seriously injured and Xiaobai is exhausted. At this time, they are rescued by a group of mysterious people. The two of them are temporarily safe, but Aaliya and Xue Na have not been found yet.

Chen Ping's competition will be held twice a day. If all the competitions are completed, it will take four or five days. This is too time-consuming for him. He plans to investigate the next two people who will compete with him first and eliminate them. After that, he went to the Valley of the Clouds and met up with Xiaobai and others.

The champion of the 8th Sword Master Tournament is named Xia He. Her strength is much higher than that of the champion of the 9th Sword Master Tournament. She also lives in Zuixia Residence these days.

"Dong dong dong!"

In the early morning, Chen Ping knocked on the door of Xiahe's room.

"You're here!" Xiahe frowned slightly when she saw Chen Ping at the door.

Chen Ping didn't say much, but directly took out the Red Flame Sword.

Xia He shouted coldly and also drew out his sword.

"Qiang!"

It was a simple attack without any flashy moves. Chen Ping struck down with his sword, while Xia He blocked it with his horizontal sword.

"Bang!"

Although both of them were under control, the actual sword energy still destroyed many furniture in the room, and even cracks as thick as a finger appeared on the wall.

"Let's go out and fight!"

Xiahe said something.

"Please!" Chen Ping didn't say much.

The two of them flashed and jumped out of the window. At this time, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and no one noticed the two of them.

A dozen miles away from the pier, there is a lush bamboo forest.

"This is it!"

When they came to the clearing, the two of them had no reservations.

"Xia Guang Sword Cut!"

"Dragon Wing Slash!"

In a simple competition of swordsmanship, in a blink of an eye, the sword energy passed through, and the surrounding green bamboos were all cut off.

The original Raptor's Sky-Breaking Slash was more fierce and direct, and the sword technique was swift and domineering.

Today's Dragon Wing Slash is invisible and sharp, and the sword technique is exquisite and agile, especially when used in conjunction with the Wind Wing, its power is doubled.

With the same strength, there is not much difference between swords, but Chen Ping's Dragon Wing Slash is more suitable for sword weapons.

"Master, do you need my help?"

"Need not!"

"Okay, then I'll go back to sleep!"

"Don't sleep! I always feel like I'm being watched. Go check around!"

After Chen Ping finished speaking, Xiao Hei flew away angrily.

Although Xia He's understanding of swordsmanship was far superior to Chen Ping's, Chen Ping could still tie with him by relying on the power of the Red Flame Sword and the Dark Gold Quality Dragon Wing Slash.

Actual combat is the best way to improve your swordsmanship. While ensuring safety, Chen Ping doesn't want Xiao Hei to interfere.

The two fought back and forth, until nearly an hour later, Xia He was dripping with sweat and felt a little tired, but Chen Ping was still advancing and retreating with ease.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong!"

"Use the advantage of weapons and use cleverness to win by chance!"

"I really can't beat you!" Xia He put away his sword neatly.

After this fierce battle, Chen Ping still found no problems.

The Red Flame Sword was originally Yan Chi's weapon. It killed many demons and even defeated gods, demons and apostles. It could easily detect the aura of demons.

So far, there is still no reaction from the Red Flame Sword, which proves that Xia He has nothing to do with the demons.

"Uncle Yan handed you the Red Flame Sword, presumably to let you investigate the ominous aura, right?" Xia He casually found a bluestone slab and sat down.

Chen Pingyuan originally wanted to leave, but after hearing Xia He's words, his movements froze and he turned to look at Xia He.

"How come everyone knows this ominous aura?" Chen Ping frowned slightly.

"This ominous aura is related to the future safety of Yanchi Island. It is the most confidential matter. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to know!" Xiahe looked at Chen Ping.

"and you……"

"Actually, before the name was changed to Yanchi Island, there were three major families here. Later, Yan Chi, the man chosen by God, came to the island and eliminated all the demons. Two of the major families directly changed their surnames to Yan and Chi, and the third The Xia family, a big family, started in business and was not very proficient in swordsmanship, so they spent all their wealth to support the other two families! "

"Even so, the Xia family still has a profound foundation, and there are also some swordsmanship wizards among the younger generations, such as me!" Xia He said to himself.

If other people were so boastful, Chen Ping might think it was a bit of bragging, but Xia He looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, and with such powerful swordsmanship, it was no exaggeration to call himself a swordsman wizard.

"Back then, demons invaded, and the man chosen by God killed its leader. However, the demon was too powerful and could not be completely killed. As long as it finds an opportunity, it may be resurrected!"

"So, Yan Chi divided the demon's body into three parts. The head was given to the Chi family and sealed in the Chi family's forbidden area. The torso was given to the Yan family and sealed in the Yan family's forbidden area. As for the limbs, Our Xia family!”

"In order to ensure that it is not discovered, I ordered the Xia family to find a place to seal it on their own. Only the head of the Xia family knows this place!"

"However, most people now know that the devil's sealed place is the Valley of the Clouds!"

"A few days ago, the Xia family's team stationed in the Valley of the Clouds was attacked. Later, they met your companions. Only two of them were rescued, and the whereabouts of the other two are unknown!"

When Chen Ping heard this, he suddenly said: "It turns out those mysterious people are your Xia family!"

"Well, only the heads of each family and the sword masters of the younger generation know about the ominous aura, and there are no more than two hands at most!" Xia He nodded.

"So, Boss Xia of Zuixiaju is the head of the Xia family, and you..."

"I am her daughter!"

"Why don't you tell me? Why do you have to fight!"

"First, I want to borrow the Red Flame Sword in your hand to prove that I am not colluding with the demons. Second, seeing Uncle Yan hand over such an important Red Flame Sword to you, I also want to see if you really have this ability!"

Hearing this, Chen Ping was speechless. He wasted more than an hour of his time in vain.

"I'm going to investigate the next person now, and then go to Yunzhigu to meet up with my partners!"

"Maybe I can provide you with some help!" Xia He said, taking out a letter.

"What is this?"

"I have also been investigating the champions of previous years recently. Among them, your next opponent, the seventh champion Hen Meng, is the most suspicious! This is all the information I have investigated!"

Chen Ping stepped forward and took the letter from Xia He.

Next to the port, there is a town called Jianhe.

Since last year, a series of unsolved cases have occurred in the town, with thousands of people dying strangely one after another, and the bodies that were found had their internal organs emptied.

"According to my investigation during this period, these people were all killed by Hen Meng!"

"Could it be that the person who is related to the demon clan is her?"

"I don't know, her whereabouts are uncertain, and it's not that easy to find her!" Xia He shook her head.

Chen Ping's competition with Hen Meng is in the afternoon, but if he waits until the afternoon, Chen Ping will not be able to go to Yunzhi Valley today, because one night is not enough for him to make a round trip.

"You should have a way to find her, right?" Chen Ping asked.

"When she appeared at the Sword Master Conference last time, I left a mark on her body!" Xia He smiled cunningly.

"If you want me to take you to find her, of course there is no problem, but you need to pay some fees!"

"How much?" Chen Ping asked.

"Ten gold coins! After all, I have spent a huge amount of money to investigate her during this period!"

Hearing this, Chen Ping took out twenty gold coins.

"Damn! So generous?"

"I'm in a hurry!"

"Okay!"

Xia He nodded.

At the same time, Xiao Hei also flew back slowly.

"So long?"

"Yes, there are indeed people following us, and there are eight of them. They are very strong and I almost got hurt!"

In fact, Xiao Hei flew over and dealt with the eight people who followed in the dark. He also took a nap and almost overslept.

A moment later, Xia He took Chen Ping to a very ordinary village.

"Hmm? According to my perception, she should be nearby. Why is she gone?"

Xia He walked to a dilapidated earth house and found no trace of the hate dream.

"Did she find the mark I made? That shouldn't be the case!" Xia He's eyebrows were twisted together.

Chen Ping walked into the earth house and searched carefully.

Inside the house, the extremely exquisite painting on the wall seemed out of tune with everything here.

"Wouldn't it be... in this painting?"

This absurd idea suddenly popped up in Chen Ping's mind.

"In the painting? How is it possible? How can people enter the painting?" Xia He shook her head in disbelief.

Chen Ping also felt that it was a bit outrageous, but he still wanted to try.

He was still unable to control the star power in the Red Flame Sword, so he took out the Star Cauldron directly. The star power in it was more pure, and under the nourishment of the star power, the entire Star Cauldron also underwent subtle changes.

However, at this time, Chen Ping had no intention of observing the changes in the Star Cauldron. He took out a trace of star power from it and injected it directly into the painting in front of him.

In an instant, the scenery in the painting began to change slowly, and a red-glowing teleportation array appeared under the feet of Chen Ping and Xia He.

Chen Ping did not hesitate and walked straight into the teleportation array, and Xia He followed subconsciously.

The red light was so bright that they could not open their eyes, and the figures of the two gradually became illusory.

"Where is this?"

When the red light faded, Xia He opened her eyes and looked around. She was in an extremely unfamiliar environment.

"How did you get in!"

A very charming voice suddenly sounded, causing Xia He's body to tremble slightly, but she was very familiar with this voice.

"Hen Meng! We have evidence of your collusion with the demons. Why don't you show up and surrender?" Xia He shouted at the air.

"Surrender? You are the first and the last one who dares to be so arrogant in my spiritual realm!"

As the voice fell, the space in front of Chen Ping and Xia He suddenly twisted, and Hen Meng's figure slowly walked out of the mist, her figure as graceful as a willow branch swaying in the wind.
